The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Making the American Farm Strong Again.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now three
year anniversary of the raid on mar A Lago. And
it is not coincidental that as I sit down to
talk to all of you Fox News First on Fox,
I'm reading from their Twitter account. This is fifteen minutes ago,
Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized a special prosecutor, Ed
(00:32):
Martin and pause here. This is the Ed Martin that
many of you will remember we had on this program
because Democrats refuse to elevate him to be the US
Attorney for Washington, DC, and so as a result, President
Trump put in place Judge Janine Piro, who is teeming
off left and right over the crime rate in DC.
(00:54):
And we'll talk about that more during the course of
the program. But Ed Martin is now in as a
special prosecutor to investigate allegations of mortgage fraud involving Adam Schiff,
Senator from California and Leticia James, the Attorney General of
New York who prosecuted Trump. That is, according to Peter
(01:16):
dou See. Ed Martin was on with US May eighth.
That is an incredible decision and I think will work
out phenomenally well. We also have news that a grand
jury investigation has also been opened in New York into
Leticia James and her behavior surrounding the decision to come
(01:40):
after Trump for civil forfeiture relating to bank loans and
all of that. I believe she got a verdict of
four hundred and fifty million dollars something in that universe,
So that in and of itself is also turning into
a big story. But I wanted to take us back
in time a little bit because I believe this is
(02:00):
when Trump won the Republican nomination for president, and I
think historically this is going to be seen as one
of the biggest own goals, one of the most self
inflicted wounds. I think as soon as Biden and his
Department of Justice decided to try to put Trump in prison,
(02:20):
they actually put Trump back into the White House. I
think it would have been if they had not prosecuted.
I think they would have been in a better position
in the twenty twenty four election. But three days after
the mar A Lago raid, so this is a flashback.
A couple of days after the raid, Merrick Garland finally
had a press conference and said, this is rating the
(02:44):
former president of the United States is a faithful adherence
to the rule of law, and there is no politics
involved in this at all. Remember, Merrick Garland himself signed
off on an unprecedented raid of the former president's home
at Mara a Lago. Here's cut one.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock
principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding
the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without
fear or favor under my watch. That is precisely what
the Justice Department is doing. There are, however, certain points
(03:23):
I want you to know. First, I personally approve the
decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second,
the Department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible,
it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as
an alternative to a search, and to narrowly scope any
(03:43):
search that is undertaken.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
All right, this very interesting in and of itself, because
I believe without a doubt this is what put Trump
into the White House. And I also want to play
a couple of additional cuts that surround this. This was
everyone out there trying to tell you, hey, there's actually
(04:08):
nothing at all unacceptable about this raid. This is completely
and totally normal. This was again three years ago to
the date when I believe Trump officially became the nominee.
Here we go with let's see cut three, former federal
(04:29):
prosecutor Daniel Goodman saying we need to recognize and praise
Merrick Garland for following the rule of law. Here's cut three.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Barrett Garland, who has said very consistently, much to the
frustration of some on the left, that he is following
the facts, and he's following the law wherever it goes.
And so he took this action because he had probable
cause to do so. And I'm sure he took this
action because it was a significant and necessary move as
(04:58):
part of this investigation. And if he doesn't take this
action because of the backlash, then it is a political decision.
So we need to recognize and praise Merrick Garland for
following the rule of law.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh my goodness, I mean now that we know also
just how much of a sham it was we thought
at the time. Remember they took the photos of the
classified documents on the ground they even went through Milanya's
underwear drawer. I mean, this was absolutely bonkers. And now
that we have had that case tossed by thankfully the
(05:35):
federal District Court judge in South Florida, a lot of
people forget that case was even tossed in July of
twenty twenty four before Trump even won the election, because
it was found to be illegitimate. I do think it's
worthwhile going back and listening to what all of the
talking heads the left wing loon said, including the now
(05:55):
canceled Stephen Colbert, This feels even a little bit more
delicious cut for we learned.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
The news of the FBI raid straight from the horse's
ass because the former president posted the news on social media.
These are dark times for our nation, as my beautiful
home mar al Lago and Palm Beach, Florida, is currently
under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of
FBI Asians. Nothing like this has ever happened to a
president of the United States before.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, of course it hasn't.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
No president has ever been as criminal as you are.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Isn't it even more delicious that Stephen Colbert is gone?
When you listen to a clip like that, he was
trying to tap dance on what he thought was the
political grave of Donald Trump, he told his unfortunate audience,
and maybe we can grab I don't think this is
in the cuts, guys, but can we grab the audio?
I saw buckerytweet this. Can we grab the audio of
(06:52):
John Oliver being upset at Jay Leno for saying the
job of comedy is to try to talk to everyone
and make fun of a variety of different groups, and
John Oliver just being like, no, it isn't. My job
is to be a left wing propagandist. It really is
amazing how Trump has broken the brains of so many
(07:13):
people in the comedic universe that I think, without Trump
may well have had much longer careers and certainly would
have had much more successful ones. And by the way,
one of those guys is Howard Stern. I saw the
guy was one of the most revolutionary, whatever you think
about him, one of the most revolutionary, aggressive, relentless in
(07:33):
his risk taking. And now he's turned into a complete
and total pussy willow. He's just a shill for Big
That interview he did with Joe Biden actually made me
uncomfortably ill trying to watch it because it was such
ridiculous propaganda. You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay
(07:56):
and Buck.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Our friend Miranda Devine joined. She is the New York
Post columnist, extraordinary author Laptop from Hell, among others, and
pod Force one hosts. And Miranda has always great to
have you on the program.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Great to be with you. I hope this sounds okay.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Oh, it's great. It's fantastic. So tell us this comber.
Let's start with this one comer's subpoenas for every attorney
general that I think anybody can name going back twenty years,
and also Hillary and Bill Clinton, all this stuff. Do
you think this goes somewhere? Clay and I, I don't
know if you heard any part of this, but we're
(08:39):
both skeptical. But what do you think? What does this mean?
What happens?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Look, I mean, there's a lot of people trying to
do a lot of things. So just setting Congress aside,
because I think we've seen, you know, through the Biden administration,
even when other Republicans did take the House for all
their best efforts, pretty much a toothless tiger unless it's
in the hands of someone very machiavellian like Nancy Pelosi,
(09:07):
who manages to put people like Steve Bannon and Petere
Navarro in jail for contempt of Congress. I don't know
that the Republicans in Congress are quite that ruthless yet,
but certainly Donald Trump and his Justice Department people, whether
it be Pam Bondi or Cash Pattel and then CIA
(09:28):
director John Ratcliffe, backed up by Chuck Grasley, the Senator
who's been sort of the champion of transparency and whistleblowers forever,
they are determined, they mean business. And I think that's
backed by the fact that Donald Trump has a different
attitude this term to his first term. He told me
(09:49):
in an interview that he yes, he did feel angry
a bit about these new revelations that Chelsey Gabbett has
been tabling about the origins of the Russia hoax, about
how Obama directed his National security intelligence people to concoct
this intelligence that said that Putin favored Trump and that's
(10:12):
why he won the twenty sixteen election. That wasn't true,
and it was just a sort of a decoy from
Hillary Clinton's problems and trying to solve Obama's ego because
Donald Trump's victory was a repudiation of his eight years.
So all of that has made Donald Trump more determined.
(10:34):
And he said in his first term he wanted to
show mercy. He thought the country should heal. Even though
his rallies his supporters were saying lock her up about
Hillary Clinton, he figured, well, look, she's the wife of
a former president, she's a former Secretary of State. I
(10:55):
just don't want to go after her and cause the
country to be in turmoil and chaos. I just want
to concentrate on fixing the economy, etc. Well, then in
the ensuing eight years, look what happened to him. They
targeted him with you know, impeachments, the Russia hoax law,
(11:16):
fair assassination attempts, you name it. And he's still standing.
The American people saw through it all. He won a
comprehensive victory that they can't try and delegitimize like they
did in twenty sixteen. And now he wants accountability. And
he said so, and he's told all his people, and
I think I think his people want accountability. I mean
(11:38):
Telsey gabbartt and Cash Betel both have been targeted by
the deep state by well in Telsey Gabbart's place, allies
of Hillary Clinton who wanted to get their revenge on
her and put her on the Quiet Sky's program. You
have so many people within the Trump orbit who were
(11:59):
targeted like he was and are victims of that deep
state and are tougher and stronger as a result. So
they are all on the same page. They want accountability
and not about you know, retribution and vendettas. It is
about a deterrence. You can't trust these people not to
(12:19):
do it again to the next Republican or Maga president
because the last time that Trump showed mercy, they just
doubled down. So never again, I think is the motto
of the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
We're talking to Miranda Devine, who was right on basically
everything over the years. Let me ask you a big
question here, Miranda. Let's pretend that Jeff Bezos called you.
Let's pretend that whoever is the Sulzburgers or whoever heck
runs the New York Times. Now, those two entities gave themselves,
(12:53):
through their friends in the media, Politzer Prizes, and I
think as a result of awarding what has been proven
to be legitimately untrue scoops, that were given the highest
order of award that can happen. They just refused to
acknowledge that everything they wrote about Russia collusion was wrong.
(13:14):
I think if you look Buck and I talked about
this a little bit, is that Jason Blair back in
the day, The New York Times did a huge front
page story when they realized that he was a fabulous
that he had made everything up, and they said, you know,
we expect when we get things wrong, that we acknowledged
that we got things wrong. What should the New York
Times in the Washington Post do today? We all know
they screwed up for a decade. If you were asked
(13:36):
your best advice for those institutions based on the false
reporting that they did surrounding Russia.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
And more, that's a really good example to use. The
Jason Blair example. Back in the day when these newspaper
institutions were regarded as being the sort of pinnacle of
journalism and everybody wanted to work there. Well, I mean,
I think that too far gone. But you know, if
they wanted to try and clean house and make amends,
(14:07):
they ought to start by giving back those dirty Pulitzer prizes.
I mean the Pulitzer Foundation ought to be rescinding them,
but unfortunately, I think, like the Nobel Prize, it's lost
any cachet since they produced it by giving it to
undeserving people. The Nobel Peace Price, you remember, went to
(14:29):
Barack Obama and he barely had his feet under the desk.
And you know Donald Trump, who did the Abraham Accords,
it just was ignored. And the Pulitzers are the same.
So you start by giving back the Pulitzers, and then
you do a comprehensive investigation of what went wrong, and
you do front page mere culpers. Chelsey Gavitt pointed out
(14:53):
that these organizations, you know, whether it be The Times,
The Post, the Washington Post, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC,
they devoted something like two thousand minutes to the Russia hoax,
and so far they've devoted two minutes to collectively to
(15:13):
the revelations of the last two weeks that show that
this was, you know, a total hoax, a plan, a
coup to bring down Donald Trump, to sabotage his presidency,
to delegitimize his election victory, and to so discord with Russia.
And this was all Obama and Hillary Clinton, and they
(15:37):
sticked their you know, CIA director Brennan, FBI director Coney
and James clapperty NSA guys. So all of that should
be gone into with you know, seven pie line extravaganzas
that they devoted to the original hoax and it ought
(15:57):
to be they should be in sackcloth and ash, and
they should fire people. They should humiliate former editors who've
left for their lead so called leadership of that newsroom.
I think, I mean, it's the only way that they
could restore their reputations. But unfortunately, the way they've curated
their audiences, I think they would lose subscriptions. I think
(16:21):
their readers would go ballistic because they don't want to
know the truth. They just stick their fingers in their
ears and continue on blively. You know, the Rachel matter
is their patron saint of journalism.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
We're speaking of Moreenda Devine Podforce one is her podcast,
and Marenda I had the distinct honor and pleasure of
getting to a segment with you on Will Kaine Show
a couple of days ago, and you were fabulous, by
the way, Just throw that out. There's always appreciated geting
to hang out with you and with Will it's like
a great it was always a great time. But we
were talking about this, this grand jury composed of the
(17:02):
Russia collusion. I guess now transparency effort that the administration
is going through. I know that it's early and we
don't really know, but what is your sense. Do you
think that the administration is preparing for the possibility, at
least politically of indictments to come down against people like
(17:23):
Brennan and Clapper or is that just way too far
afield in your mind?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
No, I absolutely think that's the case. I mean, they're
very smart prosecutors in the Department of Justice who are
looking at this being creative. Look how creative the Biden
Department of Justice was when they were coming after Donald
Trump and various other of his allies. So there are
multiple cause on the books, probably too many, and they
(17:53):
can be employed and deployed in various ways to certainly
bring charges against these coupler And you know, at first,
John Ratcliffe, CIA director kicks the ball rolling, I think
at the beginning of July with that review of the
you know, the bogus intelligence assessment, and he was talking
(18:15):
then about perjury charges and then you know, there's talked
that the statute of limitations will have run out twenty
five years. But then that that you know, certainly Brennan
and some of the others may have also allegedly purjured
themselves when they gave testimony to some of the Biden
impeachment inquiries, and so which is more recent. So that
(18:40):
was then, and now I think there the whole conversation
has moved on to looking at conspiracy charges. And as
John Ratcliffe said just on Sunday to Maria Bardaroma, that
that conspiracy continued through to this day, through the Biden
administration and to this day. So I think, you know,
(19:05):
they have a lot of leeway there to look at
tying up a lot of people. And I'm hearing that
there's more than one grand jury that they're contemplating, and
paneling in Florida would be one, maybe in DC. Just
ease of access for documents, and I think it's going
(19:26):
to be a big issue, and why wouldn't it be.
You know, you have the immense power of the federal
government Department of Justice. You now have Tulsey Gabbart who's
really relentless in pushing through any deep state obstruction she's
getting from these agencies to get documents and she's just
(19:50):
referring them straight to the DOJ. So I think it's
going to be fruitful for them. And as we've heard,
I mean James Clapperson himself, he's lawing up. Jonathan Turley
says that all of DC is lawyering up, and the
lawyers are more than busy, and some of them are
having to lawyer up themselves. I think it's good.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And you know you're in a tough spot, Miranda, when
your lawyer wants to get his own lawyer. That's a
I always say, well, that's a tough spot. Let me
ask you this quickly on the way out. I would
say the number one concern of our audience is we've
heard all this. It's a lot of you know, flapping
of the gums, so to speak, a lot of talk.
It has never actually led to anybody being charged with crimes,
(20:32):
not even talking about convictions. What do you think the
chances are that there are people indicted for crimes and
that there is in some way at least that or
an arrest for crimes. If you were setting odds more
or less likely than fifty percent, I'd say more.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
And in part that's because exactly as you say, we're
all cynical, we're all fed up. The boy has cried
wolf familiar in times and nothing's ever happened. And so
I think that that actually is an issue for Donald
Trump with the loyalty of his base, because they're sick
(21:11):
of promises, they're sick of being led down the garden path,
and nobody ever is brought to account. And therefore the
deep state, the bad guys, the wrongdoers, whatever you call them,
the coup lotters, they just get more and more emboldened.
And it's very dangerous for the Republic. It goes beyond
Donald Trump. It goes to the very survival of this
(21:36):
country that you cannot have this two tier system of
justice where one side gets just killed for the most
minor issue and the other side gets away with murder literally.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Rand, appreciate you being with us. Thank you as always,
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Great to talk to you both.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You're listening to Team forty seven with and Buck. We're
joined now by the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott. He
has been in the midst of a big battle, and Governor,
I appreciate you joining us. Let's start with this the
redistricting that would potentially add five Republican seats, has led
(22:19):
to Democrats fleeing your state. Most of them, it appears,
have gone to Illinois, which is among the most jerrymander
of all states. They have fourteen Democrat seats three Republican seats,
despite the fact that President Trump got around forty five
percent of the vote there in twenty twenty four. Of
all the places they could have run, that seems like
(22:40):
a really interesting choice to have made. What's the latest
you can tell us about them potentially having to come
back and do their jobs as elected legislator members.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Well, for one, you know, you just pointed out the
hypocrisy of these Democrats. It's not just a hypocrisy of
the Democrats in Texas, at the apocrisy of the Democrats
in Illinois as well as across the entire country who
are saying that Texas should not be doing this redistricting.
When you look at Illinois, when you look at California,
when you look at New York, when you look at Massachusetts,
when you look at all the blue states, that is
(23:15):
the epitome of jerry mandering. What the Democrats have done
and what Texas is doing, We're just trying to draw
lines to allow voters to vote for the candidate of
the choice. Easy example, and this in each of these
five seats that we're going to add, Trump won those
five seats. The candidate of choices, Donald Trump and a
(23:37):
Republican Democrats have are a problem in Texas because they
think they had a quote ownership right to Hispanic and
Black voters. And now it turned out that Hispanic voters
and black voters are voting Republicans, not Democrats. So they
have all kinds of problems. But where we stand procedurally
in all of this, and that is that I took
(23:59):
actually yesterday in a proceeding to vacate or remove from
office the leader of this runaway renegade group of Democrats,
and followed proceeding in the Texas Supreme Court. Texas Supreme
Court immediately ordered the leader of the runaway Democrats, his
name is jing Wu, to file papers in the Supreme
(24:22):
Court by Friday to respond to my allegations because we
are seeking to remove him from office and to hold
these people accountable, because we cannot conduct a business in
the stead of Texas because they've broken a quorum. And
so for one we're going to hold them accountable for
another arrest. Warrants are out for all of them, and
we're searching across the Stead of Texas to find out
(24:42):
if there are any Democrats in the Stead of Texas,
and if there are, we're going to be arresting them
and we will have Department of Public Safety officers working
across the country to try to identify them and know
this because I think the Democrats who are in Illinois,
New York at Center don't know this, and that is
the is out looking for them also, So we're going
(25:03):
to track them down and get them back. But the
last one is this. This is total futility by the Democrats.
They've tried this before multiple times since I've been governor.
And what happens is a special session in Texas last
thirty days and they eventually have to come back, and
when they come back, they'll be arrested since it's the capital,
(25:25):
and we're going to get past what was on the agenda,
just like we have every other time.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Why do you think they're doing this, Like, let's pretend
that you were not the governor of Texas trying to
enact the law as you were elected to do, and
instead you were trying to just sit out there and
you're looking at this and you're saying, what is their
game plan here? You just laid out why it's not
going to work. What do you think they are thinking
(25:51):
they are gaining from this?
Speaker 7 (25:55):
I don't think that they are thinking to be.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Hop that's a good answer, by the way.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
The reality is they're losing bad from this. And we've
seen it half of before. I'll tell you what's happening
in the past and why it's going to be repeated again,
and that is everyone listening to the show, every average
Texan instead of Texas. They have to show up for work.
And if they don't show up for us down, I'm
going to boycott today. I'm going to break quarm I'm
(26:23):
not going to go do my job. I'm going to
leave and go to Illinois. They be fired. And so
what these Democrats are doing, they're angering the average Texas voter,
of the swing voter, if you would, who thinks, well,
they got to go to work, but these rogue Democrats
don't have to go to work. And then to make
this even more impactful against these Democrats, I called a
(26:48):
special session which lasts thirty days, and I put eighteen
items on that session, the first of which were four
items to deal with the tragic floods took place in
central Texas where we lost more than one hundred Texans.
They lost their life because of that flood, and we
(27:09):
need remedies such as warning systems, other strategies for our
rivers and flooding. We need laws passed that will protect
the lives of Texans in the future. And the reason
why those laws are not being passed, the reason why
the resources are not being provided to the fellow Texans
who need those resources, is because Democrats are hold up
(27:32):
in Chicago and New York and leftist states across the country.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
We're talking to the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott. One
of the things that I think is a huge part
of this story that isn't being talked about enough, and
i'd like to get your reaction to this is one
reason you can redraw congressional maps and redraw lines is
because of the surge and Hispanic support for Republicans across
(27:57):
the state of Texas. Some people out there on the left,
they're saying, oh, this is racist. What it actually represents
is the majority of Hispanics in Texas voted for Donald Trump.
They're now voting for you. They are voting Republican. And
it has fundamentally altered the map, including in particular down
along the border in South Texas. For people who may
(28:18):
not know what has happened, what has the data shown
about Hispanic voters men in particular, but also a lot
of women flooding in to support Republicans.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Well, all you had to do was take a look
at the map of Texas on the night of the
presidential election and saw all of the counties on the
border that Donald Trump won that have been blue for
more than one hundred years, and they were read under
Donald Trump. But Clay, get this very important fact, because
this just obliterates any claim of racism. Let me tell
(28:54):
you what these maps do. Four of the new districts
we are creating are dominant Hispanic districts, and it just
turns out they're Hispanic Republicans. But this is these are
going to be Hispanic districts, and we preserve the Barbara
Jordan District and Houston. Barbara Jordan was a well known
(29:17):
black member of Congress for a long time, and her
district have been broken apart. Uh and we're putting it
back together. We're restoring that district, and so any allegations
about race playing a role adverse to Democrats here is
nothing but just an outright line.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Are you concerned at all you can make the right
decision for Texas. I'm sure you've heard Gavin Newsom say, well,
if this happens, we're going to do that in California,
and Kathy Hochel in New York, the governor's there. I'm
sure you know those guys and gals well and JB.
Pritzker even said maybe we'll take away some Are you
concerned about other states responding to Texas? And how would
(29:57):
you respond to governors there making the threats?
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Well, let's walk through that. For one, those states are
so jerrymandered it's hard to pick up any more seats.
I think I saw in the map of Illinois of
all the members of Congress, there are only three Republican
seats left, and so jerrymannered. I don't think they could
rig it any more than they have right now in California.
Understand the facts correctly. Gabt Neussim is trying to place
(30:25):
I think a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would
allow them to take action, the point being that unlike
in Texas he as governor, he doesn't have the unilateral
authority to call for redistricting. In Texas, we do. We
don't have a commission here like they do in California.
And so bottom line is this, the Democrats have hurdles
(30:47):
that may not be able to be cleared in order
for them to be able to do any of their
own redistricting.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
What should we know? You mentioned that one of the
reasons you're having this special legislative session was what happened
with the flooding. What should this audience, both in Texas
and certainly outside of Texas know about the latest there
and how things are going to be handled when it
comes to that response.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
So with regards to what happened in the Curve Will
area as well as many other areas to stay they
got ravaged by flooding and where we lost so many lives.
First in the Curbill area, we're still missing two people.
I want everyone to know that we continue and will
continue the search for the two people who remain missing,
(31:34):
and we will be deploying new strategies to make sure
that we're using every tool possible to find everybody who
is missing. Second, after a disaster like this, there are
several steps that have to be taken, and they're all
being taken. One is to clean up the debris, the
others to begin the rebuilding process. Because of the generosity
(31:58):
of so many of our fellow Texans and the Americans,
there was a lot of money available. Well, we're going
to start working to immediately rebuild homes and get people
back with a roof over their head. It could be
rebuilding it from scratch, it could be making repairs to it,
it could be. In that area, there were a lot
(32:20):
of RV homes and those are being provided by Samaritans
perse and so we have so many organizations like that
in addition to the resources the state has. But then
in addition to that, we want to make sure that
the state is passing laws and providing resources to make
sure events like this don't happen again.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Governor Bill Free come on anytime. We're different times of
the year. Number one in Austin, number one in Houston,
highly rated all over your state. So we appreciate everybody
out there listening. In the lone Star state. Good luck
to the Longhorns. And only about four weeks till football
season gets rolling.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Care always waits and visit with you. Thanks so much, Clay,
The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Making the American Farm Strong Again.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now three
year anniversary of the raid on mar A Lago. And
it is not coincidental that as I sit down to
talk to all of you Fox News First on Fox,
I'm reading from their Twitter account. This is fifteen minutes ago,
Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized a special prosecutor, Ed
(00:32):
Martin and pause here. This is the Ed Martin that
many of you will remember we had on this program
because Democrats refuse to elevate him to be the US
Attorney for Washington, DC, and so as a result, President
Trump put in place Judge Janine Piro, who is teeming
off left and right over the crime rate in DC.
(00:54):
And we'll talk about that more during the course of
the program. But Ed Martin is now in as a
special prosecutor to investigate allegations of mortgage fraud involving Adam Schiff,
Senator from California and Leticia James, the Attorney General of
New York who prosecuted Trump. That is, according to Peter
(01:16):
dou See. Ed Martin was on with US May eighth.
That is an incredible decision and I think will work
out phenomenally well. We also have news that a grand
jury investigation has also been opened in New York into
Leticia James and her behavior surrounding the decision to come
(01:40):
after Trump for civil forfeiture relating to bank loans and
all of that. I believe she got a verdict of
four hundred and fifty million dollars something in that universe,
So that in and of itself is also turning into
a big story. But I wanted to take us back
in time a little bit because I believe this is
(02:00):
when Trump won the Republican nomination for president, and I
think historically this is going to be seen as one
of the biggest own goals, one of the most self
inflicted wounds. I think as soon as Biden and his
Department of Justice decided to try to put Trump in prison,
(02:20):
they actually put Trump back into the White House. I
think it would have been if they had not prosecuted.
I think they would have been in a better position
in the twenty twenty four election. But three days after
the mar A Lago raid, so this is a flashback.
A couple of days after the raid, Merrick Garland finally
had a press conference and said, this is rating the
(02:44):
former president of the United States is a faithful adherence
to the rule of law, and there is no politics
involved in this at all. Remember, Merrick Garland himself signed
off on an unprecedented raid of the former president's home
at Mara a Lago. Here's cut one.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock
principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding
the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without
fear or favor under my watch. That is precisely what
the Justice Department is doing. There are, however, certain points
(03:23):
I want you to know. First, I personally approve the
decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second,
the Department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible,
it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as
an alternative to a search, and to narrowly scope any
(03:43):
search that is undertaken.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
All right, this very interesting in and of itself, because
I believe without a doubt this is what put Trump
into the White House. And I also want to play
a couple of additional cuts that surround this. This was
everyone out there trying to tell you, hey, there's actually
(04:08):
nothing at all unacceptable about this raid. This is completely
and totally normal. This was again three years ago to
the date when I believe Trump officially became the nominee.
Here we go with let's see cut three, former federal
(04:29):
prosecutor Daniel Goodman saying we need to recognize and praise
Merrick Garland for following the rule of law. Here's cut three.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Barrett Garland, who has said very consistently, much to the
frustration of some on the left, that he is following
the facts, and he's following the law wherever it goes.
And so he took this action because he had probable
cause to do so. And I'm sure he took this
action because it was a significant and necessary move as
(04:58):
part of this investigation. And if he doesn't take this
action because of the backlash, then it is a political decision.
So we need to recognize and praise Merrick Garland for
following the rule of law.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Oh my goodness, I mean now that we know also
just how much of a sham it was we thought
at the time. Remember they took the photos of the
classified documents on the ground they even went through Milanya's
underwear drawer. I mean, this was absolutely bonkers. And now
that we have had that case tossed by thankfully the
(05:35):
federal District Court judge in South Florida, a lot of
people forget that case was even tossed in July of
twenty twenty four before Trump even won the election, because
it was found to be illegitimate. I do think it's
worthwhile going back and listening to what all of the
talking heads the left wing loon said, including the now
(05:55):
canceled Stephen Colbert, This feels even a little bit more
delicious cut for we learned.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
The news of the FBI raid straight from the horse's
ass because the former president posted the news on social media.
These are dark times for our nation, as my beautiful
home mar al Lago and Palm Beach, Florida, is currently
under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of
FBI Asians. Nothing like this has ever happened to a
president of the United States before.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, of course it hasn't.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
No president has ever been as criminal as you are.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Isn't it even more delicious that Stephen Colbert is gone?
When you listen to a clip like that, he was
trying to tap dance on what he thought was the
political grave of Donald Trump, he told his unfortunate audience,
and maybe we can grab I don't think this is
in the cuts, guys, but can we grab the audio?
I saw buckerytweet this. Can we grab the audio of
(06:52):
John Oliver being upset at Jay Leno for saying the
job of comedy is to try to talk to everyone
and make fun of a variety of different groups, and
John Oliver just being like, no, it isn't. My job
is to be a left wing propagandist. It really is
amazing how Trump has broken the brains of so many
(07:13):
people in the comedic universe that I think, without Trump
may well have had much longer careers and certainly would
have had much more successful ones. And by the way,
one of those guys is Howard Stern. I saw the
guy was one of the most revolutionary, whatever you think
about him, one of the most revolutionary, aggressive, relentless in
(07:33):
his risk taking. And now he's turned into a complete
and total pussy willow. He's just a shill for Big
That interview he did with Joe Biden actually made me
uncomfortably ill trying to watch it because it was such
ridiculous propaganda. You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay
(07:56):
and Buck.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Our friend Miranda Devine joined. She is the New York
Post columnist, extraordinary author Laptop from Hell, among others, and
pod Force one hosts. And Miranda has always great to
have you on the program.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Great to be with you. I hope this sounds okay.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Oh, it's great. It's fantastic. So tell us this comber.
Let's start with this one comer's subpoenas for every attorney
general that I think anybody can name going back twenty years,
and also Hillary and Bill Clinton, all this stuff. Do
you think this goes somewhere? Clay and I, I don't
know if you heard any part of this, but we're
(08:39):
both skeptical. But what do you think? What does this mean?
What happens?
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Look, I mean, there's a lot of people trying to
do a lot of things. So just setting Congress aside,
because I think we've seen, you know, through the Biden administration,
even when other Republicans did take the House for all
their best efforts, pretty much a toothless tiger unless it's
in the hands of someone very machiavellian like Nancy Pelosi,
(09:07):
who manages to put people like Steve Bannon and Petere
Navarro in jail for contempt of Congress. I don't know
that the Republicans in Congress are quite that ruthless yet,
but certainly Donald Trump and his Justice Department people, whether
it be Pam Bondi or Cash Pattel and then CIA
(09:28):
director John Ratcliffe, backed up by Chuck Grasley, the Senator
who's been sort of the champion of transparency and whistleblowers forever,
they are determined, they mean business. And I think that's
backed by the fact that Donald Trump has a different
attitude this term to his first term. He told me
(09:49):
in an interview that he yes, he did feel angry
a bit about these new revelations that Chelsey Gabbett has
been tabling about the origins of the Russia hoax, about
how Obama directed his National security intelligence people to concoct
this intelligence that said that Putin favored Trump and that's
(10:12):
why he won the twenty sixteen election. That wasn't true,
and it was just a sort of a decoy from
Hillary Clinton's problems and trying to solve Obama's ego because
Donald Trump's victory was a repudiation of his eight years.
So all of that has made Donald Trump more determined.
(10:34):
And he said in his first term he wanted to
show mercy. He thought the country should heal. Even though
his rallies his supporters were saying lock her up about
Hillary Clinton, he figured, well, look, she's the wife of
a former president, she's a former Secretary of State. I
(10:55):
just don't want to go after her and cause the
country to be in turmoil and chaos. I just want
to concentrate on fixing the economy, etc. Well, then in
the ensuing eight years, look what happened to him. They
targeted him with you know, impeachments, the Russia hoax law,
(11:16):
fair assassination attempts, you name it. And he's still standing.
The American people saw through it all. He won a
comprehensive victory that they can't try and delegitimize like they
did in twenty sixteen. And now he wants accountability. And
he said so, and he's told all his people, and
I think I think his people want accountability. I mean
(11:38):
Telsey gabbartt and Cash Betel both have been targeted by
the deep state by well in Telsey Gabbart's place, allies
of Hillary Clinton who wanted to get their revenge on
her and put her on the Quiet Sky's program. You
have so many people within the Trump orbit who were
(11:59):
targeted like he was and are victims of that deep
state and are tougher and stronger as a result. So
they are all on the same page. They want accountability
and not about you know, retribution and vendettas. It is
about a deterrence. You can't trust these people not to
(12:19):
do it again to the next Republican or Maga president
because the last time that Trump showed mercy, they just
doubled down. So never again, I think is the motto
of the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
We're talking to Miranda Devine, who was right on basically
everything over the years. Let me ask you a big
question here, Miranda. Let's pretend that Jeff Bezos called you.
Let's pretend that whoever is the Sulzburgers or whoever heck
runs the New York Times. Now, those two entities gave themselves,
(12:53):
through their friends in the media, Politzer Prizes, and I
think as a result of awarding what has been proven
to be legitimately untrue scoops, that were given the highest
order of award that can happen. They just refused to
acknowledge that everything they wrote about Russia collusion was wrong.
(13:14):
I think if you look Buck and I talked about
this a little bit, is that Jason Blair back in
the day, The New York Times did a huge front
page story when they realized that he was a fabulous
that he had made everything up, and they said, you know,
we expect when we get things wrong, that we acknowledged
that we got things wrong. What should the New York
Times in the Washington Post do today? We all know
they screwed up for a decade. If you were asked
(13:36):
your best advice for those institutions based on the false
reporting that they did surrounding Russia.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
And more, that's a really good example to use. The
Jason Blair example. Back in the day when these newspaper
institutions were regarded as being the sort of pinnacle of
journalism and everybody wanted to work there. Well, I mean,
I think that too far gone. But you know, if
they wanted to try and clean house and make amends,
(14:07):
they ought to start by giving back those dirty Pulitzer prizes.
I mean the Pulitzer Foundation ought to be rescinding them,
but unfortunately, I think, like the Nobel Prize, it's lost
any cachet since they produced it by giving it to
undeserving people. The Nobel Peace Price, you remember, went to
(14:29):
Barack Obama and he barely had his feet under the desk.
And you know Donald Trump, who did the Abraham Accords,
it just was ignored. And the Pulitzers are the same.
So you start by giving back the Pulitzers, and then
you do a comprehensive investigation of what went wrong, and
you do front page mere culpers. Chelsey Gavitt pointed out
(14:53):
that these organizations, you know, whether it be The Times,
The Post, the Washington Post, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC,
they devoted something like two thousand minutes to the Russia hoax,
and so far they've devoted two minutes to collectively to
(15:13):
the revelations of the last two weeks that show that
this was, you know, a total hoax, a plan, a
coup to bring down Donald Trump, to sabotage his presidency,
to delegitimize his election victory, and to so discord with Russia.
And this was all Obama and Hillary Clinton, and they
(15:37):
sticked their you know, CIA director Brennan, FBI director Coney
and James clapperty NSA guys. So all of that should
be gone into with you know, seven pie line extravaganzas
that they devoted to the original hoax and it ought
(15:57):
to be they should be in sackcloth and ash, and
they should fire people. They should humiliate former editors who've
left for their lead so called leadership of that newsroom.
I think, I mean, it's the only way that they
could restore their reputations. But unfortunately, the way they've curated
their audiences, I think they would lose subscriptions. I think
(16:21):
their readers would go ballistic because they don't want to
know the truth. They just stick their fingers in their
ears and continue on blively. You know, the Rachel matter
is their patron saint of journalism.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
We're speaking of Moreenda Devine Podforce one is her podcast,
and Marenda I had the distinct honor and pleasure of
getting to a segment with you on Will Kaine Show
a couple of days ago, and you were fabulous, by
the way, Just throw that out. There's always appreciated geting
to hang out with you and with Will it's like
a great it was always a great time. But we
were talking about this, this grand jury composed of the
(17:02):
Russia collusion. I guess now transparency effort that the administration
is going through. I know that it's early and we
don't really know, but what is your sense. Do you
think that the administration is preparing for the possibility, at
least politically of indictments to come down against people like
(17:23):
Brennan and Clapper or is that just way too far
afield in your mind?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
No, I absolutely think that's the case. I mean, they're
very smart prosecutors in the Department of Justice who are
looking at this being creative. Look how creative the Biden
Department of Justice was when they were coming after Donald
Trump and various other of his allies. So there are
multiple cause on the books, probably too many, and they
(17:53):
can be employed and deployed in various ways to certainly
bring charges against these coupler And you know, at first,
John Ratcliffe, CIA director kicks the ball rolling, I think
at the beginning of July with that review of the
you know, the bogus intelligence assessment, and he was talking
(18:15):
then about perjury charges and then you know, there's talked
that the statute of limitations will have run out twenty
five years. But then that that you know, certainly Brennan
and some of the others may have also allegedly purjured
themselves when they gave testimony to some of the Biden
impeachment inquiries, and so which is more recent. So that
(18:40):
was then, and now I think there the whole conversation
has moved on to looking at conspiracy charges. And as
John Ratcliffe said just on Sunday to Maria Bardaroma, that
that conspiracy continued through to this day, through the Biden
administration and to this day. So I think, you know,
(19:05):
they have a lot of leeway there to look at
tying up a lot of people. And I'm hearing that
there's more than one grand jury that they're contemplating, and
paneling in Florida would be one, maybe in DC. Just
ease of access for documents, and I think it's going
(19:26):
to be a big issue, and why wouldn't it be.
You know, you have the immense power of the federal
government Department of Justice. You now have Tulsey Gabbart who's
really relentless in pushing through any deep state obstruction she's
getting from these agencies to get documents and she's just
(19:50):
referring them straight to the DOJ. So I think it's
going to be fruitful for them. And as we've heard,
I mean James Clapperson himself, he's lawing up. Jonathan Turley
says that all of DC is lawyering up, and the
lawyers are more than busy, and some of them are
having to lawyer up themselves. I think it's good.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And you know you're in a tough spot, Miranda, when
your lawyer wants to get his own lawyer. That's a
I always say, well, that's a tough spot. Let me
ask you this quickly on the way out. I would
say the number one concern of our audience is we've
heard all this. It's a lot of you know, flapping
of the gums, so to speak, a lot of talk.
It has never actually led to anybody being charged with crimes,
(20:32):
not even talking about convictions. What do you think the
chances are that there are people indicted for crimes and
that there is in some way at least that or
an arrest for crimes. If you were setting odds more
or less likely than fifty percent, I'd say more.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
And in part that's because exactly as you say, we're
all cynical, we're all fed up. The boy has cried
wolf familiar in times and nothing's ever happened. And so
I think that that actually is an issue for Donald
Trump with the loyalty of his base, because they're sick
(21:11):
of promises, they're sick of being led down the garden path,
and nobody ever is brought to account. And therefore the
deep state, the bad guys, the wrongdoers, whatever you call them,
the coup lotters, they just get more and more emboldened.
And it's very dangerous for the Republic. It goes beyond
Donald Trump. It goes to the very survival of this
(21:36):
country that you cannot have this two tier system of
justice where one side gets just killed for the most
minor issue and the other side gets away with murder literally.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Rand, appreciate you being with us. Thank you as always,
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Great to talk to you both.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You're listening to Team forty seven with and Buck. We're
joined now by the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott. He
has been in the midst of a big battle, and Governor,
I appreciate you joining us. Let's start with this the
redistricting that would potentially add five Republican seats, has led
(22:19):
to Democrats fleeing your state. Most of them, it appears,
have gone to Illinois, which is among the most jerrymander
of all states. They have fourteen Democrat seats three Republican seats,
despite the fact that President Trump got around forty five
percent of the vote there in twenty twenty four. Of
all the places they could have run, that seems like
(22:40):
a really interesting choice to have made. What's the latest
you can tell us about them potentially having to come
back and do their jobs as elected legislator members.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Well, for one, you know, you just pointed out the
hypocrisy of these Democrats. It's not just a hypocrisy of
the Democrats in Texas, at the apocrisy of the Democrats
in Illinois as well as across the entire country who
are saying that Texas should not be doing this redistricting.
When you look at Illinois, when you look at California,
when you look at New York, when you look at Massachusetts,
when you look at all the blue states, that is
(23:15):
the epitome of jerry mandering. What the Democrats have done
and what Texas is doing, We're just trying to draw
lines to allow voters to vote for the candidate of
the choice. Easy example, and this in each of these
five seats that we're going to add, Trump won those
five seats. The candidate of choices, Donald Trump and a
(23:37):
Republican Democrats have are a problem in Texas because they
think they had a quote ownership right to Hispanic and
Black voters. And now it turned out that Hispanic voters
and black voters are voting Republicans, not Democrats. So they
have all kinds of problems. But where we stand procedurally
in all of this, and that is that I took
(23:59):
actually yesterday in a proceeding to vacate or remove from
office the leader of this runaway renegade group of Democrats,
and followed proceeding in the Texas Supreme Court. Texas Supreme
Court immediately ordered the leader of the runaway Democrats, his
name is jing Wu, to file papers in the Supreme
(24:22):
Court by Friday to respond to my allegations because we
are seeking to remove him from office and to hold
these people accountable, because we cannot conduct a business in
the stead of Texas because they've broken a quorum. And
so for one we're going to hold them accountable for
another arrest. Warrants are out for all of them, and
we're searching across the Stead of Texas to find out
(24:42):
if there are any Democrats in the Stead of Texas,
and if there are, we're going to be arresting them
and we will have Department of Public Safety officers working
across the country to try to identify them and know
this because I think the Democrats who are in Illinois,
New York at Center don't know this, and that is
the is out looking for them also, So we're going
(25:03):
to track them down and get them back. But the
last one is this. This is total futility by the Democrats.
They've tried this before multiple times since I've been governor.
And what happens is a special session in Texas last
thirty days and they eventually have to come back, and
when they come back, they'll be arrested since it's the capital,
(25:25):
and we're going to get past what was on the agenda,
just like we have every other time.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Why do you think they're doing this, Like, let's pretend
that you were not the governor of Texas trying to
enact the law as you were elected to do, and
instead you were trying to just sit out there and
you're looking at this and you're saying, what is their
game plan here? You just laid out why it's not
going to work. What do you think they are thinking
(25:51):
they are gaining from this?
Speaker 7 (25:55):
I don't think that they are thinking to be.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Hop that's a good answer, by the way.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
The reality is they're losing bad from this. And we've
seen it half of before. I'll tell you what's happening
in the past and why it's going to be repeated again,
and that is everyone listening to the show, every average
Texan instead of Texas. They have to show up for work.
And if they don't show up for us down, I'm
going to boycott today. I'm going to break quarm I'm
(26:23):
not going to go do my job. I'm going to
leave and go to Illinois. They be fired. And so
what these Democrats are doing, they're angering the average Texas voter,
of the swing voter, if you would, who thinks, well,
they got to go to work, but these rogue Democrats
don't have to go to work. And then to make
this even more impactful against these Democrats, I called a
(26:48):
special session which lasts thirty days, and I put eighteen
items on that session, the first of which were four
items to deal with the tragic floods took place in
central Texas where we lost more than one hundred Texans.
They lost their life because of that flood, and we
(27:09):
need remedies such as warning systems, other strategies for our
rivers and flooding. We need laws passed that will protect
the lives of Texans in the future. And the reason
why those laws are not being passed, the reason why
the resources are not being provided to the fellow Texans
who need those resources, is because Democrats are hold up
(27:32):
in Chicago and New York and leftist states across the country.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
We're talking to the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott. One
of the things that I think is a huge part
of this story that isn't being talked about enough, and
i'd like to get your reaction to this is one
reason you can redraw congressional maps and redraw lines is
because of the surge and Hispanic support for Republicans across
(27:57):
the state of Texas. Some people out there on the left,
they're saying, oh, this is racist. What it actually represents
is the majority of Hispanics in Texas voted for Donald Trump.
They're now voting for you. They are voting Republican. And
it has fundamentally altered the map, including in particular down
along the border in South Texas. For people who may
(28:18):
not know what has happened, what has the data shown
about Hispanic voters men in particular, but also a lot
of women flooding in to support Republicans.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Well, all you had to do was take a look
at the map of Texas on the night of the
presidential election and saw all of the counties on the
border that Donald Trump won that have been blue for
more than one hundred years, and they were read under
Donald Trump. But Clay, get this very important fact, because
this just obliterates any claim of racism. Let me tell
(28:54):
you what these maps do. Four of the new districts
we are creating are dominant Hispanic districts, and it just
turns out they're Hispanic Republicans. But this is these are
going to be Hispanic districts, and we preserve the Barbara
Jordan District and Houston. Barbara Jordan was a well known
(29:17):
black member of Congress for a long time, and her
district have been broken apart. Uh and we're putting it
back together. We're restoring that district, and so any allegations
about race playing a role adverse to Democrats here is
nothing but just an outright line.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Are you concerned at all you can make the right
decision for Texas. I'm sure you've heard Gavin Newsom say, well,
if this happens, we're going to do that in California,
and Kathy Hochel in New York, the governor's there. I'm
sure you know those guys and gals well and JB.
Pritzker even said maybe we'll take away some Are you
concerned about other states responding to Texas? And how would
(29:57):
you respond to governors there making the threats?
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Well, let's walk through that. For one, those states are
so jerrymandered it's hard to pick up any more seats.
I think I saw in the map of Illinois of
all the members of Congress, there are only three Republican
seats left, and so jerrymannered. I don't think they could
rig it any more than they have right now in California.
Understand the facts correctly. Gabt Neussim is trying to place
(30:25):
I think a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would
allow them to take action, the point being that unlike
in Texas he as governor, he doesn't have the unilateral
authority to call for redistricting. In Texas, we do. We
don't have a commission here like they do in California.
And so bottom line is this, the Democrats have hurdles
(30:47):
that may not be able to be cleared in order
for them to be able to do any of their
own redistricting.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
What should we know? You mentioned that one of the
reasons you're having this special legislative session was what happened
with the flooding. What should this audience, both in Texas
and certainly outside of Texas know about the latest there
and how things are going to be handled when it
comes to that response.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
So with regards to what happened in the Curve Will
area as well as many other areas to stay they
got ravaged by flooding and where we lost so many lives.
First in the Curbill area, we're still missing two people.
I want everyone to know that we continue and will
continue the search for the two people who remain missing,
(31:34):
and we will be deploying new strategies to make sure
that we're using every tool possible to find everybody who
is missing. Second, after a disaster like this, there are
several steps that have to be taken, and they're all
being taken. One is to clean up the debris, the
others to begin the rebuilding process. Because of the generosity
(31:58):
of so many of our fellow Texans and the Americans,
there was a lot of money available. Well, we're going
to start working to immediately rebuild homes and get people
back with a roof over their head. It could be
rebuilding it from scratch, it could be making repairs to it,
it could be. In that area, there were a lot
(32:20):
of RV homes and those are being provided by Samaritans
perse and so we have so many organizations like that
in addition to the resources the state has. But then
in addition to that, we want to make sure that
the state is passing laws and providing resources to make
sure events like this don't happen again.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Governor Bill Free come on anytime. We're different times of
the year. Number one in Austin, number one in Houston,
highly rated all over your state. So we appreciate everybody
out there listening. In the lone Star state. Good luck
to the Longhorns. And only about four weeks till football
season gets rolling.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Care always waits and visit with you. Thanks so much, Clay,
