Randy Fine discusses the importance of this special election, emphasizing the need for Republican voters to turn out and support the Trump agenda. He highlights the significant Democratic funding pouring into his opponent's campaign and the necessity of maintaining the Republican majority in the House.
Sen. Randy Fine provides insights into his opponent, Josh Weil, detailing allegations of misconduct during his tenure as a public-school teacher and his radical political views, including support for disarming the police and socialist policies. Senator Fine contrasts his own endorsements from Donald Trump with Weill's endorsement from Bernie Sanders, underscoring the ideological battle at play.
The conversation shifts to the broader implications of the election, with Fine outlining his commitment to supporting Trump's agenda, focusing on cutting inflation, ending wars, controlling the budget, and deporting criminal illegal aliens. He stresses the importance of following the Florida model for increasing Republican majorities and achieving long-term political goals.

Buck Sexton emphasizes the need for a strong turnout to send a clear message of support for the Trump agenda and prevent the Democrats from gaining ground. He highlights the media's biased coverage and the importance of grassroots efforts to counteract it.
The hour concludes with Buck discussing the broader political landscape, including the Wisconsin Supreme Court election and the ongoing efforts to challenge the Trump administration through judicial activism.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, welcome back. Second hour Clay and Buck kicks
off now, and we are joined by State Senator Randy Fine.
He is running for that critical seat the special election
in Florida's sixth congressional district. It is imminent. Let's get
right to it. Randy, thanks for being here on the show.
Appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Thanks for having me. I'm honored to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
All right, let's start with how is it looking. Bring
us up to speed, and tell us what are the
sort of the broad thoughts you have as somebody who
has the eyes of the nation on him with this
congressional fight.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Look, it's looking good. I mean, this is a strong
Republican area. The Democrats are angry President Trump every time
he wins. Every time we get excited, they get angrier
and angrier. Our wins are their losses, and so they're
really motivated to vote. And so if our side of
the world goes to vote Randyfine dot com finds their
(00:56):
polling site and votes tomorrow, we're going to be just fine.
But you know, when you have another side that's raised
ten million dollars, none of which, by the way, came
from the district, almost none of which came from Florida. Frankly,
given it's all through Act Blue, it could be coming
from the other side of the world. That creates a
lot of attention and a lot of smoke. But we're
(01:17):
really fired up and we think we're going to have
a great day tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
What should anyone know about your opponent, Josh Wile in
this one? He's a public school teacher? Is that right?
What does he stand for? What's he running on?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, I don't know if he's a public school teacher anymore.
He's living in a fifty one thousand dollars Airbnb that's
paid for by his campaign. He's paying himself a salary
from his campaign. And he may not be a teacher
anymore because while he was a teacher, he choked slammed
one of his students into the ground, bruising their head,
and a female teacher wrote him up for poking her
(01:50):
with a stick, sexually harassing her, and even changing the
screen saver on her computer to a picture of himself.
So I think he used to be a teacher. I
don't know that he's still. Look he is, as President
Trump put it, a lunatic. He does not believe just
in defunding the police. He believes in disarming the police.
He believes that you take on a risk of dying
(02:12):
when you're a law enforcement officer. But quote unquote innocent
people who are just stealing something don't deserve, you know,
to have any sort of consequences for it. He's a socialist.
He's a proud socialist. And his big endorsement, My big
endorsement is Donald Trump. His big endorsement is Bernie Sanders.
And I don't know that that dog hunts in this
part of Florida. So we think if people understand that
(02:35):
it's the Donald Trump agenda versus the Bernie Sanders impeach
Trump agenda, we're gonna win, but will only win if
people go to my website vote Randy Fine dot com
and find out where to vote tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Now you mentioned the Trump agenda. Obviously we're a couple
of months in coming on the third month here, and
we played in the first hour of the show, Trump saying, look,
it's been phenomenal so far. We've got a lot more
to do if you win this special seat. Once you
take your seat in Congress, what are some of the
top agenda items that you want to work with your
(03:08):
colleagues in Congress to get moving on to help this
agenda and to do a lot more of what we're
already seeing so far, which is fixed the big problems.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, look, I was a Number one that I will
do is I will be a vote for the Trump agenda.
And with the House majority being as tight as it is,
that's why this election is so important. You know, my
Democrat opponent, the lunatic as Trump put it, has said
that he will get in there, he will make sure
Democrats take the majority, and they'll impeach him on day one.
So the first thing I can do is be a
(03:40):
loyal member of the team and help our team, Captain
Donald Trump, be successful. What Republicans need to understand they
need to look at the Florida model. When we took
the majority in the Florida House, it was sixty one
fifty nine. Now it's eighty seven thirty three. And we
didn't get there overnight. We got there because people followed
the team Captain. They we got singles and double and triples,
(04:01):
and so every two years we increased our majority. We
need to be focused on cutting inflation. We need to
be focused on ending the wars. We need to focus
on getting the budget under control, and we need to
focus on throwing out every criminal illegal alien in the country,
and I will be helping with all of those.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
How is the now you're speaking to me? And we're
on about five hundred and fifty give or take radio
stations all across the country, including a lot here in Florida,
which is one of our biggest markets. Thankfully, how's the
local media treating you? I mean, you're you're in a
plus thirty Republican district. We know Mike Wallas had a
big win when he ran before, but I'm going to guess,
(04:38):
without knowing because I hadn't lived in the sixth congressional
that the media is either covering up for the I mean,
I looked at some of the local coverage of your
opponent and what a shock Randy nothing about him choke
slamming and the students, nothing about the fifty thousand dollars airbnb.
So what's the local media environment like you get in
any fair treatment?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
No? No, And look, the media has really let us
down in the sense that they have not exposed who
he is and the fact that his campaign's a grifted operation.
I told every reporter who covered the fact that he
raised ten million dollars, that they owed it to their
readers and their listeners to point out where he's spent
the money. They've covered the fact that he's brought celebrities
(05:20):
to the district who endorsed him. They failed to cover
that he spent three hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
paid them to do it a lot like his buddy
Kamala Harris. So no, we haven't gotten a fair shake.
I wouldn't have expected a fair shake. That's why we
go out. That's why I talked to guys like you.
We're working harder to make sure we got our message.
I went and knocked on a couple hundred doors myself yesterday.
(05:42):
I told my team I got Sunday afternoon. I don't
want a candidate walk list with eight doors on it,
give me a real one. I took my family and
we went out and we knocked on doors and got
great reaction. So we're not going to worry about it.
We don't expect to get a fair shake. The liberal
media never gives it to us. We're just telling people
to go to vote. Randy Fine dot com find that
word to vote and go vote tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So important, And we had people calling in last week
when we were raising a bit of awareness about this
upcoming special election, and some of them were writing in
to tell us, you know, it's it feels like some
of the local media really just hopes that people aren't
paying attention and that they could try to sneak some
kind of an upset here by not letting people know.
(06:24):
You would think that they would be all over this
and telling everybody, oh, this is so important for democracy,
But no surprise there. They have an agenda they're trying
to chase. I just was wondering if you could give
me a little more insight into something. You know, you
said you're gonna be part of the Trump agenda and
you're gonna be a vote for that, which I think
your district overwhelmingly is just gonna be in favor of.
And that's what you should do as a member of
Congress from there. When you talk about this Act Blue
(06:47):
and how they can come in and throw all this
money around, how does that work? I mean, are they right?
Because there's limits and what you can give to candidates,
like tell everybody about how this opera because they're not
just going to do it to you, right, this is
going to be elsewhere in the country as well.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I've been doing it. They have been doing So here's
how act blue works. You can go buy a pre
paid credit card, go on act blue and say that
I could go on act blue and give your name
and your address and give a twenty five dollars donation
from you using a prepaid credit card, and you would
(07:23):
never know because it's not going to show up on
your credit card statement, it's not going to show up
on your credit report. And so there was a reporter
a couple of weeks ago who went to someone's house
who had made eleven hundred donations on act blue. They're
all small, and the woman said, I didn't make any
of them. So, particularly in my race I am running
the guy I'm running against, I didn't say this. He's
(07:45):
a Muslim chie hottist. After nine to eleven, he converted
to radical Islam. He believes in Hamas, he believes in Hezbolah.
There's a lot of groups around the world that would
probably love somebody like that in Congress. And there's no
ability on act blue to determine where the money came from.
If you give money on win Red, which is the
(08:05):
Republican equivalent. You have to use your own credit card.
You can't use a prepaid, untraceable debit card to do it.
So there are real questions on Act Blue whether it's
just a big money laundering operation to get to get
Soros money, to get foreign money into these campaigns.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Now, when people go to vote Randyfine dot com, the
election is tomorrow, what's there, what are the resources and
if for anybody anything they can do that can help
out of is it just spread the word? At this point,
I wanted to let you just reach out to everybody
in your district. We've got a lot of people listening.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Well, there's three things they can do. The most important
is if they live in my district, go to vote
Randy Fine dot com. Click on the special election information.
It'll take you to a list of counties. Click your
county and it'll let you type in your address and
confirm where your precinct is so you know where to
vote tomorrow. But if people want to volunteer, there's a
volunteer tab. We have hundreds of people people making calls
(09:01):
right now to make sure Republicans know to vote, and
look if they want to donate They can donate there too,
because we're taking every dollar that comes in and sending
it out the door immediately in making sure we get
the message out. So I'd take any of it. But
the most important thing is if you're one of those
few hundred thousand people in the sixth Congressional district, to
make a plan, tell your friends, go to vote Randy
(09:23):
Fine dot com to figure out where to vote and
to vote tomorrow. Democrats are angry. They will walk through
fire in order to vote because they hate the wins
we're getting. Our site was to be afraid of that
happening and go and vote.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You know, Randy, there's something I wanted to point out
to everybody, everybody, which is, you know, yes, I've looked
at the polls. You're looking good right now. But obviously
it's game time. Everyone needs to go out in your
district and vote and get this done. And part of
it is I can see the New York Times, for example,
already setting it up this way. Even if there's a
substantial decrease in this scale of the win, they're going
(10:02):
to try to say, See, people are unhappy with Trump,
See the agenda's unpopular. You know, we know what the
propaganda is going to look like So I think it's
important everyone sees this says, yeah, you got to run
up the scoreboard for Randy here. You gotta win big.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And that's a great point. I mean, I want to win,
but I want to win and send a message that
the Trump agenda is beloved, because I will tell you
it is here. If Donald Trump in this district is
more popular today than he was on election day, but
it's all about who turns out. If all the people
who love Donald Trump don't vote, then the results will
make it look like the district doesn't support him. Because
(10:38):
what I will tell you is this, the Democrats are mad,
and the Democrats are voting. So we need our side
to show up. Tomorrow's game day. It's the last day they.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Got to go to vote.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Randyfine dot com find their polling place and be there.
I think it opens at seven o'clock. Be there, vote.
I'll sleep better, the President will sleep better because this
isn't just about me. This is about Donald Trump and
he needs his team to go and vote tomorrow. He
just tweeted me out on X a few hours ago.
It's been seen by like ten million people. Now, so
(11:08):
you don't have to just take my word for it.
You can hear his words. He did a tell a
rally for me on Thursday. It was amazing to do
it alongside of him. But I want to put up
a big number tomorrow so we can tell the left
to shove it that people love what Donald Trump is
doing and we're going to do more of it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Everybody listening from Saint Augustine down to Daytona Beach and
out west to the Okalla area, and you gotta show up.
Go to vote Randy Fine dot com and find where
your polling place is State Center Fine. Best of luck
to you, and let's have you come back on when
your victory is complete.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Thank you would love to do it anytime.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Thanks for having me, Thanks so much. Look tax return season,
which unfortunately also means it is scam tax return season
because the bad guys they got so many ways of
getting your refund and that can cause him mess for you.
The next couple of weeks, you could get a phone
call from someone pretending to be with the IRS looking
for additional information. Keep in mind the IRS does not
(12:08):
call people for information. They use the US mail system
for inquiries like that tax cyber hackers know the lingo.
Though they know how to play the part. They sound
slick when they call you. A lot of these scammers
have gotten a hold of enough of your info already
that from a stolen database, for example, that they're in
a position where just a few more pieces and they
can steal your identity, and they can steal your refund.
(12:29):

encourage you to have online identity theft protection with LifeLock.
It works. I've relied on LifeLock for years to look
out for my online identity. Their systems sift through billions
of data inputs every month from online transactions and more,

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Stories are Freedom stories of America, inspirational stories that you
unite us all each day. Spend time with Clay and
find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
All right, welcome back in Clay and Buck here, and
we've got that conversation we just had with Randy Fine
about that six congressional district race. So important. We need
that one to go our way because we're getting out
to the point where if you lose that and then
you get a member of Congress or two who it's
(13:49):
like pneumonia or something. I mean, all of a sudden,
you can't get your agenda through right, not even waiting
for the midterm elections here, So it's very important. And
here was Trump I mentioned this, but just to give
you a sense of what the stakes are and how
there are eyes at the very top on this race,
which why we had Randy Fine on just now. And
(14:09):
I think the choice for all in the sixth district
should be abundantly clear. The other guy really sounds like
quite a prize that the Democrats are putting ten million
dollars behind. Isn't that astonishing ten million dollars basically all
of it out of state and not even out of
the district, out of the state. I'm sure it's coming
from New York, California, maybe some from the DC area,
(14:31):
and that's where the money is piling in from. And
this is making it so that you can't you know,
Trump has to play a little bit of defense in
terms of making sure the Congress does not turn to
a Democrat majority. Here he was speaking about how a
last dephonic out of New York was supposed to be
his US Ambassador United Nations. She said, okay, no, I'll stay,
(14:53):
I'll stay where I am. Here's Trump speaking about that
play fourteens.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
As you know, we have a few elections going on,
and she is phenomenal. Number one, she's a friend of mine,
and she was going to go to the United Nations.
And I said, look, there's a lot of room for
doing that or something else, but she's very popular in
her district, and I didn't want to take a chance.
I don't even know who else is running. I assume
somebody else would have been running. But if she runs,
she can't be You never want to say can't be beaten,
(15:20):
but I think can't be beaten. She's very, very well
liked and very smart, and I said, Lis, would you
do me a favor. We cannot take a chance. We
have a slim margin. We don't want to take any chances.
We don't want to experiment. And she polls like I do.
I want her district, as you know, by a lot
of points.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He doesn't want to take any chances. I think that's
absolutely the right move, clearly. And it's because the eighteen
months that I've been saying we have here for Trump
to get the agenda through. It gets a lot tougher
if we lose this congressional seat and also Wisconsin's Supreme Court,
which we're going to discuss. That's all just about a
(16:00):
gerrymandering fight. Democrats know that. This is so common with Democrats.
You'll see that when they can't win, they just change
the rules of the game so that they will win.
They did this in twenty twenty with all the COVID
stuff and all the regulations that they were changing and
the laws that they were ignoring when it came to
elections because of the emergency fauci and everything else. But
(16:21):
as we know, this is very very important, So hopefully
those who are listening, who are in that area, it's
not just enough for you to go out and vote
in the six sixth district. Make sure that your friends,
make sure that the people that you know who want
the Trump agenda agenda to go forward. You have no excuses.
They got to show up tomorrow. I mean, assuming I
(16:41):
don't know. Is there probably no early voting for special election, right,
so I assume they got to show up tomorrow. I
got to check that out on a team. Tell me
if it's is it all tomorrow? I would assume it's
all tomorrow, But I don't know. I have not been
involved in a special election myself. So go to randy
find dot com a vote, Sorry, vote Randy find dot com,
like he was saying, to get all the information you
(17:02):
need about where those polling places are and everything else.
Point is show up tomorrow, show up, vote, and make
sure the Democrats are not able to even make it close, because,
as I was saying, if they make it close, the
narrative turns into all people are turning against Trump. Now
we know that's not true, but look what they did
last week with the signal story. They will take anything
(17:24):
and they will run with it. They are so desperate
to play on the public's emotions and perceptions and avoid
dealing with the real issues and what's actually happening in
the country because they don't have any plans for that,
and the Republicans who are trying to deal with it
are doing so in a way that should receive support
in fact from Democrats, and that is definitely not going
(17:46):
to happen. So this is the world that we are
operating in, my friends, terrorfores, recession, fears, stubborn inflation. Three
reasons why we're seeing the price of gold routinely hitting
all time highs like it did again this past Friday,
all in the markets like right now, Take control and
safeguard your savings by adding gold to your savings and
IRA accounts. Why so many Americans today are turning to
(18:08):
Birch Gold Group to make that happen. They've helped tens
of thousands convert an existing IRA or four oh one
k into an IRA in physical gold. Is it time
for you to hedge against inflation and economic instability with gold?
Learn how to own physical gold in a tax sheltered account.

welcome back into clay An Buck lines are open eight
(18:50):
hundred and two eight two two eight A two. Will
also take some of your talkbacks, some of your VP emails.
Much to discuss here and ooh, this is a this
is a new one. I guess Caroline Levitt has been
doing the White House Press briefing right now, and there
was a back and forth that producer Mark just threw
(19:11):
my way here. This is caught thirty three team prducier Mark.
Oh sorry, yes, thank you, producer Mark. Caroline Levit, white
House Press Secretary, got into it with Andrew Feinberg, a
reporter when it comes to migrant deportations. Let's I'm going
to be hearing it for the first time with all
of you, but it got highlighted for me. Let's check
this one out. Listen.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Have you talked to the agents who have been putting
their lives on the line to detain these foreign terrorists
who have been terrorizing our communities. DDA is a vicious
gang that has taken the lives of American women, and
our agents on the front lines take up deporting these
people with the utmost seriousness. And there is a litany
of criteria that they use to ensure that these individuals
(19:54):
qualify as foreign terrorists and to ensure to ensure that
they qualify for and the President made it incredibly clear
to the American public that there would be a mass
deportation campaign of not just foreign terrorists but also illegal
criminal aliens who have been wreaking havoc on American communities.
And shame on you and shame on the mainstream media
for trying to cover for these individuals through the copone.
(20:16):
This is a vicious gang, Andrew, This is a vicious
gang that has taken the lives of American women.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
The government filed in court which says all.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
And you said yourself, there are there are eight criteria
on that document, and you are questioning the credibility of
these agents who are putting their life on the line
to protect your life. In the life of everybody in
this group.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You know you're seeing this play. First of all, a
great job by Caroline Levity just to not give any
ground to these opposition opposition media figures who pretend to
be journalists, but really there there to find any way
they can to tear Trump down. I'm sorry, but I
cannot take seriously any journalist who was cheering for the
(21:01):
detention in pre trial, detention in solitary confinement of nonviolent
J six offenders in Washington, d C. For as long
as eighteen months without trial. I think that was the
longest I had heard of. Julie Kelly was here. She
would tell me, I don't remember all the full duration
of it, but in solitary in punishment conditions before trial.
(21:27):
And now we're going to just say, oh, well, but
they were given their due process because a judge just
thought of that. These are all should have been cases
that were moved out of the district. These all should
have been cases that got a change of venue. None
of them did. And you know, you could say that, well,
a judge is acting within his or her authority to
do this. Yeah, But the point is they're acting in
bad faith based on political reasons. You know, at some point,
(21:52):
you're what you're talking about is really just either a
nullification or weaponization of the law. If a sheriff decide
I'm just not going to enforce you know, laws on
and fill in the blank whatever it may be. Technically
they could say that's prosecutoral discretion, but it's also nullification, right,
It's what ends up happening. And weaponization is when you
(22:14):
decide to extremely harshly enforce certain laws and ignore others,
but to enforce them against your political opponents. And we're
seeing this. I'm gonna talk to Ryan or Dusky about this.
They just what they just did in France is and
I know you're like, oh, France, who cares Menwebian sir No,
But it's it's a harbinger of things to come. I
(22:36):
think if we don't hold the line here in America,
they've just effectively outlawed the primary opposition figure who was
probably gonna win the next election. So, you know, we
what we see here in America is the unsuccessful effort
to weaponize the law against Trump. But that doesn't mean
(22:58):
they won't try again, And it doesn't doesn't mean they
won't try this stuff and haven't tried it successfully elsewhere,
and that is the end of a free society with
free and fair elections. You do not have a republic,
or you do not have a democracy. If anytime somebody
comes along to challenge the status quo and the ruling class,
(23:20):
the ruling class's buddies, under the guise of being prosecutors
or special investigators or special counsel or whatever, find some
problem this person. Oh mysteriously, the problem shows up now
when they're just like Trump. Right, Remember how many times
I made the argument to you about how they say
Trump is this horrible criminal, and he's such a criminal,
(23:42):
he's done all these terrible things. Oh it, he's and
they called him. They said he's sexually assaulted a woman,
they said all these things. The guy is in his
late seventies and never convicted of anything and never tried
ever in his life for any crime, and suddenly he
faces four four criminal trials, and suddenly he faces civil
suits for stuff that no one can prove or disprove
(24:05):
from decades ago. Come on, right, these are just you know,
the left. They've completely abandoned common sense with their policies.
But they've also just generally abandoned common sense, And this
is why so many people are finding themselves who still
have the basic connection to common sense. I gotta vote
(24:25):
for Trump. I gotta be a Republican. These people are crazy.
Common sense alone would tell you that there's a huge
problem with bringing four criminal trials in an election year,
held until the election year against a guy in his
late seventies who had never been convicted of a crime
or even charged even charged with a crime in his
(24:48):
entire life. The guy goes almost eighty years clean record,
but he's running for president and now they're throwing all
this stuff at him. Oh now it's this, and then
it's all these please please, this is really people are
asking us all to live in idiotville here. I mean,
they're asking us to just be completely incapable of looking
(25:09):
at the evidence and the information and coming up with
the clear conclusion about what is actually about, what is
really happening. And thankfully, and it is to the American
people's enduring credit, this was all rejected. This was all
rejected this last election. I don't know. I don't think
we could have said if they had been successful in
(25:32):
defeating Trump and then imprisoning some of the people around Trump,
maybe even Trump himself after the election. I think that
was always their plan. Do we live in a free society?
Did we live in a free society during COVID? I
would say no, clearly we did not. So it's not
as though this is some crazy idea that is so
(25:52):
far fetched that we don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I think we had a trial run of authoritarianism, and
then they tried to extend the tentacle of authoritarianism even
further by pulling Trump down and putting forward Kamala Harris
sort of you know, picked and put in this role
without anyone really knowing who she is or how she
(26:16):
got here. The whole thing was all just astro turf.
It was all manufactured. So now they're so concerned about
illegals who have been kicked out of the country, who
are members of this gang. You know what, they can
file from wherever they are, you know'll file their petition
from wherever they're being held. If it's this supermax prison
in El Salvador, and if they can prove they're not
(26:37):
a member of this gang, well that's nice for them.
Maybe they can get out of the prison. But they're
not coming back to America because they were legals. I'm
pretty sure if they could prove they were Americans, they
would have, you know what I mean. So they don't
have a right to be here. They can go somewhere
else if they weren't really in the gang. Which kind
of a shock, don't you think, if all of a
sudden there's all this evidence against them that their members of
(27:00):
this gang. But there's different levels of due process, and
there's different levels of what the expectation should be for
people who are in this country, especially people who are
in this country illegally. And making clear what those distinctions
are is one of the most important outcomes of the
Trump administration, and making it clear that you don't just
(27:21):
get to be here and say that you're as American
as everybody else and have all the same rights as
everybody else. In fact, you can argue that illegals have
special rights. Illegals in a sense have even elevated rights
over the rest of us, insofar as they get to
break laws, and not just their status. Often there's document
(27:43):
fraud attached to it, and tax fraud and all kinds
of things. They get to break laws with impunity because
the Democrats politically benefit from their presence, so they actually
get to live by an elevated status legally than than
actual Americans. Is there any law that you can break
(28:06):
and that you would go out and protest and be like,
I am breaking this law and no one can do
anything to me, and I continue to break this law. Haha, No,
you would be fined or imprisoned, right, you know that.
I know that illegals do that all the time. They
show up, They make demands. You know, I have a
right to be here, No you don't. So reorienting the
(28:29):
national thinking around this is critical. And also in other
countries this stuff would be considered laughable. The only countries
where this is a problem, I might note, are the
countries that are really dealing with this are under the
broad umbrella of Western civilization. So somehow Western civilization going
back to our conversation in the first hour and what
(28:50):
Elon Musk was saying, Western civilization is the only civilization
out there that is and by Western civilization, what are
you really talking about Judeo Christian you know, Anglo American
heritage civilization. I mean, you know, you defining it is
an interesting, interesting exercise in and of itself. You know,
(29:11):
it's the it's really the free English speaking world, I think,
is what we would say is Western civilization, and then
you'd add Europe in there, so then it's the free
English speaking world and Western Europe. You know, you'd start
to piece some things in. But you know, Japan is
a free society and an advanced civilization, but it's a
different civilization, right. This goes back to Samuel Huntington class
of civilizations and he actually breaks down what the various
(29:33):
civilizations are. But we are the only one that's not
allowed to and that's why Japan is an interesting example.
We're not allowed to try to maintain what we have
and perpetuate who and what we are America, Canada, UK,
New Zealand. Any any effort to stop the mass importation
(29:55):
of people from different cultures and different backgrounds in violation
of our laws in the case of the United States,
is considered bad faith and wrong. Meanwhile, every other country
does this. No, there's no other country right where you
would say, oh, you're a bad person, with the exception
of these Western nations like Canada. You know, Europe I
(30:18):
think is waking up to this. And we'll talk to
Ryan Gerdowsky more about that. But here by the way,
I wanted to play this, Ron DeSantis, back to the
law fair and what's going on with these judges. This
scheme here is very clear. They're just trying to stop
the Trump agenda by any means possible, which means the
most over arching, overreaching judicial decisions from whatever judge, from anywhere.
(30:43):
This is cut twenty five play it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
But if you went back and during the debates about
ratifying the Constitution, and you would have said that under
this constitution, a district judge would be able to newter
the president's ability on a nationwide basis to discharge the
duties of his office. If the founding generation believed that
the Constitution actually authorized that, it would not have been ratified.
(31:07):
It would have been viewed as so outside the bounds
of what is acceptable that there's no way it would
have even passed muster. So, yes, these judges are serving
a political role, a partisan role, and it's to throw
whatever sand in the gears they can to prevent President
Trump from being successful.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
It's absolutely spot on. Ron's best governor of America, and
he's a very smart guy and he gets it. He
knows exactly what they're doing. And it is a constitutional crisis.
We have an ongoing constitutional crisis in this country right
now because of what these left wing activist judges are doing.
We don't have to wait for the crisis. It's already here.
(31:46):
It's upon us. The question is when and what will
the Supreme Court do something about this? That's really where
that's really where it all comes down. And if they don't,
if they don't brush this stuff back, then you started
to say, well, what's the what's the point of having
a national election and all this stuff that goes into
the presidency and billions of dollars in media spend when
(32:09):
all you need is just a bunch of federal judges
to just say no, you can't do that. No, I
say no, you have enough of them. What can the
president do? What can the president do? At some point
it's forced. The president's forced to say I think this
is outside you're a remit and so I'm just gonna ignore.
And now you know that creates its own issues, But
(32:30):
they're pushing to the point where that may be the
only option for the Trump the Trump term too. I
don't know how else to see this. We'll take calls
and talkbacks and all that coming up here second, and
then we'll talk to Ryan Gardusky about what's going on
with these the special election in here in Florida, but
also the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election, and then the
(32:52):
stuff going on in Europe. I'm telling you, I know,
anytime I feel like I talk about Europe, I get
people like talk about America. I'm like, look, this is
a window into the leftists of France and the leftists
in America have a lot in common, and they view
the world in the same way, and they like each other,
(33:15):
and trust me, they would be happy to share a
baguette and watch our civilizations crumble, all right, trust me
on this. So it's not so separate that it doesn't
tell us something about what our own left wing in
this country is trying to accomplish. And so we'll get
into this here momentarily. If your family was part of
(33:36):
the video video camp craze back in the day, chances
are you've still got the video cassettes to prove it.
They were valuable when you record it on them, and
they've become that much more valuable all these years later.

Box can do that for you, and at a great price.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Two guys walk up.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
To a mic Hey, anything goes Clay, Travis and Buck
Sex to find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcast guests.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So we
got some talkbacks. Wanted to get to those, and also
some vip emails. Let's start with Jeff on the vip emails. Buck,
just want to say your opening monologue was outstanding. God
bless Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their efforts to
save our country and the whole of Western civilization. Great job.
Maybe you should distribute your monologue as an op ed
(35:21):
and submit it to the non corrupt media. Keep up
the excellent job you and Clay do every day. Jeff,
thank you so much. Appreciate that. Yeah, if you missed it,
go back and listen to the podcast. You can listen
to the opening monologue of the show today on Elon
and trying to save Western civilization. We've got to c
see a podcast listener here Steve in Colorado. Let's play
the talkback.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
Hey, Clay and Buck is Steve and Colorado. First off,
I want to say thank you for recommending Bear Creek
Arsenal on their firearms. Those rifles are absolutely amazing. Secondly,
I wanted to see if I can help get your
guys help bring it some national attention to all these
anti gun coming down the Colorado pipeline right now and
(36:03):
also in other states, and you know, if we can
get anything done on a national level. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I got to take a look at what they're doing
to you in Colorado with the gun laws. I can
focus mostly on the federal stuff, but I'm sure it's
bad because you've got Polis as your governor and that
state has gone far too blue. So we'll take a look.
But yeah, there may have to be some lawsuits by
the Solicitor General on behalf of the Trump administration against
(36:30):
some of these states that infringe too much on the
Second Amendment. That's one thing that could be done. So
we'll take a look. Ron Gerdusky's going to be with
us here next and we'll talk to him about the
Wisconsin State Supreme Court race. It is critical stick around
All right, welcome back. Second hour Clay and Buck kicks
off now, and we are joined by State Senator Randy Fine.
He is running for that critical seat the special election
in Florida's sixth congressional district. It is imminent. Let's get
right to it. Randy, thanks for being here on the show.
Appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Thanks for having me. I'm honored to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
All right, let's start with how is it looking. Bring
us up to speed, and tell us what are the
sort of the broad thoughts you have as somebody who
has the eyes of the nation on him with this
congressional fight.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Look, it's looking good. I mean, this is a strong
Republican area. The Democrats are angry President Trump every time
he wins. Every time we get excited, they get angrier
and angrier. Our wins are their losses, and so they're
really motivated to vote. And so if our side of
the world goes to vote Randyfine dot com finds their
(00:56):
polling site and votes tomorrow, we're going to be just fine.
But you know, when you have another side that's raised
ten million dollars, none of which, by the way, came
from the district, almost none of which came from Florida. Frankly,
given it's all through Act Blue, it could be coming
from the other side of the world. That creates a
lot of attention and a lot of smoke. But we're
(01:17):
really fired up and we think we're going to have
a great day tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
What should anyone know about your opponent, Josh Wile in
this one? He's a public school teacher? Is that right?
What does he stand for? What's he running on?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, I don't know if he's a public school teacher anymore.
He's living in a fifty one thousand dollars Airbnb that's
paid for by his campaign. He's paying himself a salary
from his campaign. And he may not be a teacher
anymore because while he was a teacher, he choked slammed
one of his students into the ground, bruising their head,
and a female teacher wrote him up for poking her
(01:50):
with a stick, sexually harassing her, and even changing the
screen saver on her computer to a picture of himself.
So I think he used to be a teacher. I
don't know that he's still. Look he is, as President
Trump put it, a lunatic. He does not believe just
in defunding the police. He believes in disarming the police.
He believes that you take on a risk of dying
(02:12):
when you're a law enforcement officer. But quote unquote innocent
people who are just stealing something don't deserve, you know,
to have any sort of consequences for it. He's a socialist.
He's a proud socialist. And his big endorsement, My big
endorsement is Donald Trump. His big endorsement is Bernie Sanders.
And I don't know that that dog hunts in this
part of Florida. So we think if people understand that
(02:35):
it's the Donald Trump agenda versus the Bernie Sanders impeach
Trump agenda, we're gonna win, but will only win if
people go to my website vote Randy Fine dot com
and find out where to vote tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Now you mentioned the Trump agenda. Obviously we're a couple
of months in coming on the third month here, and
we played in the first hour of the show, Trump saying, look,
it's been phenomenal so far. We've got a lot more
to do if you win this special seat. Once you
take your seat in Congress, what are some of the
top agenda items that you want to work with your
(03:08):
colleagues in Congress to get moving on to help this
agenda and to do a lot more of what we're
already seeing so far, which is fixed the big problems.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, look, I was a Number one that I will
do is I will be a vote for the Trump agenda.
And with the House majority being as tight as it is,
that's why this election is so important. You know, my
Democrat opponent, the lunatic as Trump put it, has said
that he will get in there, he will make sure
Democrats take the majority, and they'll impeach him on day one.
So the first thing I can do is be a
(03:40):
loyal member of the team and help our team, Captain
Donald Trump, be successful. What Republicans need to understand they
need to look at the Florida model. When we took
the majority in the Florida House, it was sixty one
fifty nine. Now it's eighty seven thirty three. And we
didn't get there overnight. We got there because people followed
the team Captain. They we got singles and double and triples,
(04:01):
and so every two years we increased our majority. We
need to be focused on cutting inflation. We need to
be focused on ending the wars. We need to focus
on getting the budget under control, and we need to
focus on throwing out every criminal illegal alien in the country,
and I will be helping with all of those.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
How is the now you're speaking to me? And we're
on about five hundred and fifty give or take radio
stations all across the country, including a lot here in Florida,
which is one of our biggest markets. Thankfully, how's the
local media treating you? I mean, you're you're in a
plus thirty Republican district. We know Mike Wallas had a
big win when he ran before, but I'm going to guess,
(04:38):
without knowing because I hadn't lived in the sixth congressional
that the media is either covering up for the I mean,
I looked at some of the local coverage of your
opponent and what a shock Randy nothing about him choke
slamming and the students, nothing about the fifty thousand dollars airbnb.
So what's the local media environment like you get in
any fair treatment?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
No? No, And look, the media has really let us
down in the sense that they have not exposed who
he is and the fact that his campaign's a grifted operation.
I told every reporter who covered the fact that he
raised ten million dollars, that they owed it to their
readers and their listeners to point out where he's spent
the money. They've covered the fact that he's brought celebrities
(05:20):
to the district who endorsed him. They failed to cover
that he spent three hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
paid them to do it a lot like his buddy
Kamala Harris. So no, we haven't gotten a fair shake.
I wouldn't have expected a fair shake. That's why we
go out. That's why I talked to guys like you.
We're working harder to make sure we got our message.
I went and knocked on a couple hundred doors myself yesterday.
(05:42):
I told my team I got Sunday afternoon. I don't
want a candidate walk list with eight doors on it,
give me a real one. I took my family and
we went out and we knocked on doors and got
great reaction. So we're not going to worry about it.
We don't expect to get a fair shake. The liberal
media never gives it to us. We're just telling people
to go to vote. Randy Fine dot com find that
word to vote and go vote tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So important, And we had people calling in last week
when we were raising a bit of awareness about this
upcoming special election, and some of them were writing in
to tell us, you know, it's it feels like some
of the local media really just hopes that people aren't
paying attention and that they could try to sneak some
kind of an upset here by not letting people know.
(06:24):
You would think that they would be all over this
and telling everybody, oh, this is so important for democracy,
But no surprise there. They have an agenda they're trying
to chase. I just was wondering if you could give
me a little more insight into something. You know, you
said you're gonna be part of the Trump agenda and
you're gonna be a vote for that, which I think
your district overwhelmingly is just gonna be in favor of.
And that's what you should do as a member of
Congress from there. When you talk about this Act Blue
(06:47):
and how they can come in and throw all this
money around, how does that work? I mean, are they right?
Because there's limits and what you can give to candidates,
like tell everybody about how this opera because they're not
just going to do it to you, right, this is
going to be elsewhere in the country as well.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I've been doing it. They have been doing So here's
how act blue works. You can go buy a pre
paid credit card, go on act blue and say that
I could go on act blue and give your name
and your address and give a twenty five dollars donation
from you using a prepaid credit card, and you would
(07:23):
never know because it's not going to show up on
your credit card statement, it's not going to show up
on your credit report. And so there was a reporter
a couple of weeks ago who went to someone's house
who had made eleven hundred donations on act blue. They're
all small, and the woman said, I didn't make any
of them. So, particularly in my race I am running
the guy I'm running against, I didn't say this. He's
(07:45):
a Muslim chie hottist. After nine to eleven, he converted
to radical Islam. He believes in Hamas, he believes in Hezbolah.
There's a lot of groups around the world that would
probably love somebody like that in Congress. And there's no
ability on act blue to determine where the money came from.
If you give money on win Red, which is the
(08:05):
Republican equivalent. You have to use your own credit card.
You can't use a prepaid, untraceable debit card to do it.
So there are real questions on Act Blue whether it's
just a big money laundering operation to get to get
Soros money, to get foreign money into these campaigns.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Now, when people go to vote Randyfine dot com, the
election is tomorrow, what's there, what are the resources and
if for anybody anything they can do that can help
out of is it just spread the word? At this point,
I wanted to let you just reach out to everybody
in your district. We've got a lot of people listening.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Well, there's three things they can do. The most important
is if they live in my district, go to vote
Randy Fine dot com. Click on the special election information.
It'll take you to a list of counties. Click your
county and it'll let you type in your address and
confirm where your precinct is so you know where to
vote tomorrow. But if people want to volunteer, there's a
volunteer tab. We have hundreds of people people making calls
(09:01):
right now to make sure Republicans know to vote, and
look if they want to donate They can donate there too,
because we're taking every dollar that comes in and sending
it out the door immediately in making sure we get
the message out. So I'd take any of it. But
the most important thing is if you're one of those
few hundred thousand people in the sixth Congressional district, to
make a plan, tell your friends, go to vote Randy
(09:23):
Fine dot com to figure out where to vote and
to vote tomorrow. Democrats are angry. They will walk through
fire in order to vote because they hate the wins
we're getting. Our site was to be afraid of that
happening and go and vote.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You know, Randy, there's something I wanted to point out
to everybody, everybody, which is, you know, yes, I've looked
at the polls. You're looking good right now. But obviously
it's game time. Everyone needs to go out in your
district and vote and get this done. And part of
it is I can see the New York Times, for example,
already setting it up this way. Even if there's a
substantial decrease in this scale of the win, they're going
(10:02):
to try to say, See, people are unhappy with Trump,
See the agenda's unpopular. You know, we know what the
propaganda is going to look like So I think it's
important everyone sees this says, yeah, you got to run
up the scoreboard for Randy here. You gotta win big.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And that's a great point. I mean, I want to win,
but I want to win and send a message that
the Trump agenda is beloved, because I will tell you
it is here. If Donald Trump in this district is
more popular today than he was on election day, but
it's all about who turns out. If all the people
who love Donald Trump don't vote, then the results will
make it look like the district doesn't support him. Because
(10:38):
what I will tell you is this, the Democrats are mad,
and the Democrats are voting. So we need our side
to show up. Tomorrow's game day. It's the last day they.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Got to go to vote.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Randyfine dot com find their polling place and be there.
I think it opens at seven o'clock. Be there, vote.
I'll sleep better, the President will sleep better because this
isn't just about me. This is about Donald Trump and
he needs his team to go and vote tomorrow. He
just tweeted me out on X a few hours ago.
It's been seen by like ten million people. Now, so
(11:08):
you don't have to just take my word for it.
You can hear his words. He did a tell a
rally for me on Thursday. It was amazing to do
it alongside of him. But I want to put up
a big number tomorrow so we can tell the left
to shove it that people love what Donald Trump is
doing and we're going to do more of it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Everybody listening from Saint Augustine down to Daytona Beach and
out west to the Okalla area, and you gotta show up.
Go to vote Randy Fine dot com and find where
your polling place is State Center Fine. Best of luck
to you, and let's have you come back on when
your victory is complete.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Thank you would love to do it anytime.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Thanks for having me, Thanks so much. Look tax return season,
which unfortunately also means it is scam tax return season
because the bad guys they got so many ways of
getting your refund and that can cause him mess for you.
The next couple of weeks, you could get a phone
call from someone pretending to be with the IRS looking
for additional information. Keep in mind the IRS does not
(12:08):
call people for information. They use the US mail system
for inquiries like that tax cyber hackers know the lingo.
Though they know how to play the part. They sound
slick when they call you. A lot of these scammers
have gotten a hold of enough of your info already
that from a stolen database, for example, that they're in
a position where just a few more pieces and they
can steal your identity, and they can steal your refund.
(12:29):
Cybercrime and identity theft impact everybody, which is why I
encourage you to have online identity theft protection with LifeLock.
It works. I've relied on LifeLock for years to look
out for my online identity. Their systems sift through billions
of data inputs every month from online transactions and more,
looking for evidence of wrongdoing by some cyber thief. If
you do become a victim of identity theft, a dedicated

US based restoration specialist will fix it guaranteed or your
money back terms apply. It's easy to help protect yourself

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Stories are Freedom stories of America, inspirational stories that you
unite us all each day. Spend time with Clay and
find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
All right, welcome back in Clay and Buck here, and
we've got that conversation we just had with Randy Fine
about that six congressional district race. So important. We need
that one to go our way because we're getting out
to the point where if you lose that and then
you get a member of Congress or two who it's
(13:49):
like pneumonia or something. I mean, all of a sudden,
you can't get your agenda through right, not even waiting
for the midterm elections here, So it's very important. And
here was Trump I mentioned this, but just to give
you a sense of what the stakes are and how
there are eyes at the very top on this race,
which why we had Randy Fine on just now. And
(14:09):
I think the choice for all in the sixth district
should be abundantly clear. The other guy really sounds like
quite a prize that the Democrats are putting ten million
dollars behind. Isn't that astonishing ten million dollars basically all
of it out of state and not even out of
the district, out of the state. I'm sure it's coming
from New York, California, maybe some from the DC area,
(14:31):
and that's where the money is piling in from. And
this is making it so that you can't you know,
Trump has to play a little bit of defense in
terms of making sure the Congress does not turn to
a Democrat majority. Here he was speaking about how a
last dephonic out of New York was supposed to be
his US Ambassador United Nations. She said, okay, no, I'll stay,
(14:53):
I'll stay where I am. Here's Trump speaking about that
play fourteens.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
As you know, we have a few elections going on,
and she is phenomenal. Number one, she's a friend of mine,
and she was going to go to the United Nations.
And I said, look, there's a lot of room for
doing that or something else, but she's very popular in
her district, and I didn't want to take a chance.
I don't even know who else is running. I assume
somebody else would have been running. But if she runs,
she can't be You never want to say can't be beaten,
(15:20):
but I think can't be beaten. She's very, very well
liked and very smart, and I said, Lis, would you
do me a favor. We cannot take a chance. We
have a slim margin. We don't want to take any chances.
We don't want to experiment. And she polls like I do.
I want her district, as you know, by a lot
of points.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He doesn't want to take any chances. I think that's
absolutely the right move, clearly. And it's because the eighteen
months that I've been saying we have here for Trump
to get the agenda through. It gets a lot tougher
if we lose this congressional seat and also Wisconsin's Supreme Court,
which we're going to discuss. That's all just about a
(16:00):
gerrymandering fight. Democrats know that. This is so common with Democrats.
You'll see that when they can't win, they just change
the rules of the game so that they will win.
They did this in twenty twenty with all the COVID
stuff and all the regulations that they were changing and
the laws that they were ignoring when it came to
elections because of the emergency fauci and everything else. But
(16:21):
as we know, this is very very important, So hopefully
those who are listening, who are in that area, it's
not just enough for you to go out and vote
in the six sixth district. Make sure that your friends,
make sure that the people that you know who want
the Trump agenda agenda to go forward. You have no excuses.
They got to show up tomorrow. I mean, assuming I
(16:41):
don't know. Is there probably no early voting for special election, right,
so I assume they got to show up tomorrow. I
got to check that out on a team. Tell me
if it's is it all tomorrow? I would assume it's
all tomorrow, But I don't know. I have not been
involved in a special election myself. So go to randy
find dot com a vote, Sorry, vote Randy find dot com,
like he was saying, to get all the information you
(17:02):
need about where those polling places are and everything else.
Point is show up tomorrow, show up, vote, and make
sure the Democrats are not able to even make it close, because,
as I was saying, if they make it close, the
narrative turns into all people are turning against Trump. Now
we know that's not true, but look what they did
last week with the signal story. They will take anything
(17:24):
and they will run with it. They are so desperate
to play on the public's emotions and perceptions and avoid
dealing with the real issues and what's actually happening in
the country because they don't have any plans for that,
and the Republicans who are trying to deal with it
are doing so in a way that should receive support
in fact from Democrats, and that is definitely not going
(17:46):
to happen. So this is the world that we are
operating in, my friends, terrorfores, recession, fears, stubborn inflation. Three
reasons why we're seeing the price of gold routinely hitting
all time highs like it did again this past Friday,
all in the markets like right now, Take control and
safeguard your savings by adding gold to your savings and
IRA accounts. Why so many Americans today are turning to
(18:08):
Birch Gold Group to make that happen. They've helped tens
of thousands convert an existing IRA or four oh one
k into an IRA in physical gold. Is it time
for you to hedge against inflation and economic instability with gold?

welcome back into clay An Buck lines are open eight
(18:50):
hundred and two eight two two eight A two. Will
also take some of your talkbacks, some of your VP emails.
Much to discuss here and ooh, this is a this
is a new one. I guess Caroline Levitt has been
doing the White House Press briefing right now, and there
was a back and forth that producer Mark just threw
(19:11):
my way here. This is caught thirty three team prducier Mark.
Oh sorry, yes, thank you, producer Mark. Caroline Levit, white
House Press Secretary, got into it with Andrew Feinberg, a
reporter when it comes to migrant deportations. Let's I'm going
to be hearing it for the first time with all
of you, but it got highlighted for me. Let's check
this one out. Listen.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Have you talked to the agents who have been putting
their lives on the line to detain these foreign terrorists
who have been terrorizing our communities. DDA is a vicious
gang that has taken the lives of American women, and
our agents on the front lines take up deporting these
people with the utmost seriousness. And there is a litany
of criteria that they use to ensure that these individuals
(19:54):
qualify as foreign terrorists and to ensure to ensure that
they qualify for and the President made it incredibly clear
to the American public that there would be a mass
deportation campaign of not just foreign terrorists but also illegal
criminal aliens who have been wreaking havoc on American communities.
And shame on you and shame on the mainstream media
for trying to cover for these individuals through the copone.
(20:16):
This is a vicious gang, Andrew, This is a vicious
gang that has taken the lives of American women.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
The government filed in court which says all.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
And you said yourself, there are there are eight criteria
on that document, and you are questioning the credibility of
these agents who are putting their life on the line
to protect your life. In the life of everybody in
this group.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You know you're seeing this play. First of all, a
great job by Caroline Levity just to not give any
ground to these opposition opposition media figures who pretend to
be journalists, but really there there to find any way
they can to tear Trump down. I'm sorry, but I
cannot take seriously any journalist who was cheering for the
(21:01):
detention in pre trial, detention in solitary confinement of nonviolent
J six offenders in Washington, d C. For as long
as eighteen months without trial. I think that was the
longest I had heard of. Julie Kelly was here. She
would tell me, I don't remember all the full duration
of it, but in solitary in punishment conditions before trial.
(21:27):
And now we're going to just say, oh, well, but
they were given their due process because a judge just
thought of that. These are all should have been cases
that were moved out of the district. These all should
have been cases that got a change of venue. None
of them did. And you know, you could say that, well,
a judge is acting within his or her authority to
do this. Yeah, But the point is they're acting in
bad faith based on political reasons. You know, at some point,
(21:52):
you're what you're talking about is really just either a
nullification or weaponization of the law. If a sheriff decide
I'm just not going to enforce you know, laws on
and fill in the blank whatever it may be. Technically
they could say that's prosecutoral discretion, but it's also nullification, right,
It's what ends up happening. And weaponization is when you
(22:14):
decide to extremely harshly enforce certain laws and ignore others,
but to enforce them against your political opponents. And we're
seeing this. I'm gonna talk to Ryan or Dusky about this.
They just what they just did in France is and
I know you're like, oh, France, who cares Menwebian sir No,
But it's it's a harbinger of things to come. I
(22:36):
think if we don't hold the line here in America,
they've just effectively outlawed the primary opposition figure who was
probably gonna win the next election. So, you know, we
what we see here in America is the unsuccessful effort
to weaponize the law against Trump. But that doesn't mean
(22:58):
they won't try again, And it doesn't doesn't mean they
won't try this stuff and haven't tried it successfully elsewhere,
and that is the end of a free society with
free and fair elections. You do not have a republic,
or you do not have a democracy. If anytime somebody
comes along to challenge the status quo and the ruling class,
(23:20):
the ruling class's buddies, under the guise of being prosecutors
or special investigators or special counsel or whatever, find some
problem this person. Oh mysteriously, the problem shows up now
when they're just like Trump. Right, Remember how many times
I made the argument to you about how they say
Trump is this horrible criminal, and he's such a criminal,
(23:42):
he's done all these terrible things. Oh it, he's and
they called him. They said he's sexually assaulted a woman,
they said all these things. The guy is in his
late seventies and never convicted of anything and never tried
ever in his life for any crime, and suddenly he
faces four four criminal trials, and suddenly he faces civil
suits for stuff that no one can prove or disprove
(24:05):
from decades ago. Come on, right, these are just you know,
the left. They've completely abandoned common sense with their policies.
But they've also just generally abandoned common sense, And this
is why so many people are finding themselves who still
have the basic connection to common sense. I gotta vote
(24:25):
for Trump. I gotta be a Republican. These people are crazy.
Common sense alone would tell you that there's a huge
problem with bringing four criminal trials in an election year,
held until the election year against a guy in his
late seventies who had never been convicted of a crime
or even charged even charged with a crime in his
(24:48):
entire life. The guy goes almost eighty years clean record,
but he's running for president and now they're throwing all
this stuff at him. Oh now it's this, and then
it's all these please please, this is really people are
asking us all to live in idiotville here. I mean,
they're asking us to just be completely incapable of looking
(25:09):
at the evidence and the information and coming up with
the clear conclusion about what is actually about, what is
really happening. And thankfully, and it is to the American
people's enduring credit, this was all rejected. This was all
rejected this last election. I don't know. I don't think
we could have said if they had been successful in
(25:32):
defeating Trump and then imprisoning some of the people around Trump,
maybe even Trump himself after the election. I think that
was always their plan. Do we live in a free society?
Did we live in a free society during COVID? I
would say no, clearly we did not. So it's not
as though this is some crazy idea that is so
(25:52):
far fetched that we don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I think we had a trial run of authoritarianism, and
then they tried to extend the tentacle of authoritarianism even
further by pulling Trump down and putting forward Kamala Harris
sort of you know, picked and put in this role
without anyone really knowing who she is or how she
(26:16):
got here. The whole thing was all just astro turf.
It was all manufactured. So now they're so concerned about
illegals who have been kicked out of the country, who
are members of this gang. You know what, they can
file from wherever they are, you know'll file their petition
from wherever they're being held. If it's this supermax prison
in El Salvador, and if they can prove they're not
(26:37):
a member of this gang, well that's nice for them.
Maybe they can get out of the prison. But they're
not coming back to America because they were legals. I'm
pretty sure if they could prove they were Americans, they
would have, you know what I mean. So they don't
have a right to be here. They can go somewhere
else if they weren't really in the gang. Which kind
of a shock, don't you think, if all of a
sudden there's all this evidence against them that their members of
(27:00):
this gang. But there's different levels of due process, and
there's different levels of what the expectation should be for
people who are in this country, especially people who are
in this country illegally. And making clear what those distinctions
are is one of the most important outcomes of the
Trump administration, and making it clear that you don't just
(27:21):
get to be here and say that you're as American
as everybody else and have all the same rights as
everybody else. In fact, you can argue that illegals have
special rights. Illegals in a sense have even elevated rights
over the rest of us, insofar as they get to
break laws, and not just their status. Often there's document
(27:43):
fraud attached to it, and tax fraud and all kinds
of things. They get to break laws with impunity because
the Democrats politically benefit from their presence, so they actually
get to live by an elevated status legally than than
actual Americans. Is there any law that you can break
(28:06):
and that you would go out and protest and be like,
I am breaking this law and no one can do
anything to me, and I continue to break this law. Haha, No,
you would be fined or imprisoned, right, you know that.
I know that illegals do that all the time. They
show up, They make demands. You know, I have a
right to be here, No you don't. So reorienting the
(28:29):
national thinking around this is critical. And also in other
countries this stuff would be considered laughable. The only countries
where this is a problem, I might note, are the
countries that are really dealing with this are under the
broad umbrella of Western civilization. So somehow Western civilization going
back to our conversation in the first hour and what
(28:50):
Elon Musk was saying, Western civilization is the only civilization
out there that is and by Western civilization, what are
you really talking about Judeo Christian you know, Anglo American
heritage civilization. I mean, you know, you defining it is
an interesting, interesting exercise in and of itself. You know,
(29:11):
it's the it's really the free English speaking world, I think,
is what we would say is Western civilization, and then
you'd add Europe in there, so then it's the free
English speaking world and Western Europe. You know, you'd start
to piece some things in. But you know, Japan is
a free society and an advanced civilization, but it's a
different civilization, right. This goes back to Samuel Huntington class
of civilizations and he actually breaks down what the various
(29:33):
civilizations are. But we are the only one that's not
allowed to and that's why Japan is an interesting example.
We're not allowed to try to maintain what we have
and perpetuate who and what we are America, Canada, UK,
New Zealand. Any any effort to stop the mass importation
(29:55):
of people from different cultures and different backgrounds in violation
of our laws in the case of the United States,
is considered bad faith and wrong. Meanwhile, every other country
does this. No, there's no other country right where you
would say, oh, you're a bad person, with the exception
of these Western nations like Canada. You know, Europe I
(30:18):
think is waking up to this. And we'll talk to
Ryan Gerdowsky more about that. But here by the way,
I wanted to play this, Ron DeSantis, back to the
law fair and what's going on with these judges. This
scheme here is very clear. They're just trying to stop
the Trump agenda by any means possible, which means the
most over arching, overreaching judicial decisions from whatever judge, from anywhere.
(30:43):
This is cut twenty five play it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
But if you went back and during the debates about
ratifying the Constitution, and you would have said that under
this constitution, a district judge would be able to newter
the president's ability on a nationwide basis to discharge the
duties of his office. If the founding generation believed that
the Constitution actually authorized that, it would not have been ratified.
(31:07):
It would have been viewed as so outside the bounds
of what is acceptable that there's no way it would
have even passed muster. So, yes, these judges are serving
a political role, a partisan role, and it's to throw
whatever sand in the gears they can to prevent President
Trump from being successful.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
It's absolutely spot on. Ron's best governor of America, and
he's a very smart guy and he gets it. He
knows exactly what they're doing. And it is a constitutional crisis.
We have an ongoing constitutional crisis in this country right
now because of what these left wing activist judges are doing.
We don't have to wait for the crisis. It's already here.
(31:46):
It's upon us. The question is when and what will
the Supreme Court do something about this? That's really where
that's really where it all comes down. And if they don't,
if they don't brush this stuff back, then you started
to say, well, what's the what's the point of having
a national election and all this stuff that goes into
the presidency and billions of dollars in media spend when
(32:09):
all you need is just a bunch of federal judges
to just say no, you can't do that. No, I
say no, you have enough of them. What can the
president do? What can the president do? At some point
it's forced. The president's forced to say I think this
is outside you're a remit and so I'm just gonna ignore.
And now you know that creates its own issues, But
(32:30):
they're pushing to the point where that may be the
only option for the Trump the Trump term too. I
don't know how else to see this. We'll take calls
and talkbacks and all that coming up here second, and
then we'll talk to Ryan Gardusky about what's going on
with these the special election in here in Florida, but
also the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election, and then the
(32:52):
stuff going on in Europe. I'm telling you, I know,
anytime I feel like I talk about Europe, I get
people like talk about America. I'm like, look, this is
a window into the leftists of France and the leftists
in America have a lot in common, and they view
the world in the same way, and they like each other,
(33:15):
and trust me, they would be happy to share a
baguette and watch our civilizations crumble, all right, trust me
on this. So it's not so separate that it doesn't
tell us something about what our own left wing in
this country is trying to accomplish. And so we'll get
into this here momentarily. If your family was part of
(33:36):
the video video camp craze back in the day, chances
are you've still got the video cassettes to prove it.
They were valuable when you record it on them, and
they've become that much more valuable all these years later.

Box can do that for you, and at a great price.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Two guys walk up.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
To a mic Hey, anything goes Clay, Travis and Buck
Sex to find them on the free iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcast guests.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So we
got some talkbacks. Wanted to get to those, and also
some vip emails. Let's start with Jeff on the vip emails. Buck,
just want to say your opening monologue was outstanding. God
bless Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their efforts to
save our country and the whole of Western civilization. Great job.
Maybe you should distribute your monologue as an op ed
(35:21):
and submit it to the non corrupt media. Keep up
the excellent job you and Clay do every day. Jeff,
thank you so much. Appreciate that. Yeah, if you missed it,
go back and listen to the podcast. You can listen
to the opening monologue of the show today on Elon
and trying to save Western civilization. We've got to c
see a podcast listener here Steve in Colorado. Let's play
the talkback.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
Hey, Clay and Buck is Steve and Colorado. First off,
I want to say thank you for recommending Bear Creek
Arsenal on their firearms. Those rifles are absolutely amazing. Secondly,
I wanted to see if I can help get your
guys help bring it some national attention to all these
anti gun coming down the Colorado pipeline right now and
(36:03):
also in other states, and you know, if we can
get anything done on a national level. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I got to take a look at what they're doing
to you in Colorado with the gun laws. I can
focus mostly on the federal stuff, but I'm sure it's
bad because you've got Polis as your governor and that
state has gone far too blue. So we'll take a look.
But yeah, there may have to be some lawsuits by
the Solicitor General on behalf of the Trump administration against
(36:30):
some of these states that infringe too much on the
Second Amendment. That's one thing that could be done. So
we'll take a look. Ron Gerdusky's going to be with
us here next and we'll talk to him about the
Wisconsin State Supreme Court race. It is critical stick around
