Just go to PureTalk.com buck and save 50% off your first month. That's PureTalk.com buck to switch to Pure Talk. Welcome in everybody to the Friday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Just gonna be Buck today. That's me, Clay, having a little too much fun out in super bowl land in California. Did he challenge Bo Jackson to a 50 yard dash? He saw Bo yesterday and as we know, Bo knows. But did he challenge him to a 50 yard dash and an arm wrestling match? You will have to wait until Monday to know whether that is true or not. The rumors are flying. The rumors are I do think Clay actually should challenge him to a 50 yard dash. We video this, we raise money for a great charity, everybody wins. Everybody wins. Maybe we give Bo for 50 yards. We give him a. Well, we couldn't get rather give Clay a five second head start. So he'll be back with us on Monday. He is always, always, always sending you all his, his love and high fives. But he's gonna have a great time at the Super Bowl. We will dive into some breaking news here shortly. We've also got Trump talking about prescription drugs. Big issue going into a midterm election. Of course, the cost of prescription drugs, something that particularly a lot of seniors really care about when it comes to voting. But honestly everybody does. And I think that this is an area where you can see some real gains for, for the gop but for the country, most importantly. Caroline Levitt spoke about the SAVE act from the west wing of the White House. The SAVE act, voter ID requirements, you would think, because everybody thinks that's a completely reasonable thing and yet Democrats don't want it. On the issue of election security, it is quite clear that Democrats are decidedly unreasonable. And I think we all have a duty to look into why that is. We shall discuss more on ICE and immigration and that fight. I gotta see if the team can pull this. There's a yoga studio. Producer Ali, did you see this? Producer Ali used to teach yoga. So she. Oh, you sent it to me. Well, yeah, well, of course. Do we have the clip of it though? We'll get to it, we'll get to it later. It's a lot of, lot of F bombs, lot of curses in it. But producer Ali, as you know, as she is aligned with us ideologically but they don't know that. And so she can infiltrate the places where there is yoga, slam poetry, all kinds of things where you, you know, purple haired protests, they would never see they would never know. And so she can perhaps weigh in on, on the madness of this yoga studio in Minneapolis where a group of women absolutely berate a couple of employees because they want there to be ice anti ice signs on the window of the yoga studio. Wow. This is, you know, they just talk about first world problems. This is quintessential white liberal female meltdown territory. But it goes to, unfortunately, a demographic that the Democrat party is completely reliant on and has a stranglehold over so many white single females in cities. This is unfortunately a, a big problem for us. But that video, I'll, I'll show it to you. They're very abusive, they're very nasty. Very nasty, these women are to the employees. But the big news today, which I do want to get into quite a bit, it reminds me of, well, the old days when I was doing counterterrorism work. The big news today is the capture of a Benghazi terrorist. Right. We all Remember back in 2012, the Benghazi attack on the, on the consulate and the annex in Benghazi, Libya. Here is Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing that Zubayr Al Bakush is now in custody. We did not forgive, we did not forget, we did not relent. This is Cut one. Play it.
- [06:55]
Pam Bondi
We have never forgotten those heroes and we have never stopped seeking justice for that crime against our nation. In fact, from day one, Cash and Dan would sit in meetings and say, we're going to get them. And they did. Today I'm proud to announce that the FBI has arrested one of the key participants behind the Benghazi attack. Zubair Albakosh landed at Andrews Air force base at 3am this morning. He is in our custody. He was greeted by Director Patel and U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro.
- [07:33]
Buck Sexton
So here we have, over a decade later, one of the senior terrorists involved in that attack. And remember the controversy, the political dust up that all of this created. There were a number of things. One, of course, was that there were, was a complete lack of honesty from the Obama administration about what had happened. Remember, they arrested a guy who made a video somewhere that insulted the prophet Muhammad and that this and that, that was somehow supposed to be responsible for this attack. I think 13 hours, by the way, is a tremendously underrated movie. And I can tell you as somebody who knows a thing or two about the annex and the agency and all of that, 13 hours is a very well done, very accurate movie. So I feel like, I'm sure a lot of you have seen this, but it didn't do that. Well, in theaters, which was disappointing. It should have done better. Maybe it's done better on, you know, DVD play and all that afterwards. But 13 hours, I thought was an excellent view into what it's like to be particularly GRS officers who were the paramilitary kind of defenders of facilities and personnel for the agency abroad during the war on terror. GRS was a big part of the gwad. In fact, I write about GRS a bit and my time with them in my book Manufacturing Delusion, which I've never talked about this before. I've never talked about the GRS teams that took me out in Iraq and Afghanistan. And some of you would be. Would say, well, but you were an analyst. And don't analysts just sit at Langley? Oh, there's a lot of sitting at Langley eating donuts and drinking lattes, don't get me wrong. But I wanted to try to do more. So wherever I showed up abroad in the war zones, I said, how can I be useful? I'll go with whomever, wherever. Let's roll. And so, yes, I did do GRS movements off base. Yes, I did have to get all kitted out and have these guys with me side to side. Yes, I did have the conversation with them that I move behind them and if they both get taken out of the fight, then it's my job to radio in and get into the fight. All of that was real. And I look back now and I look like a. Like a college kid because I basically was. I was in my early 20s doing this stuff, running around the war zones. But yeah, I was with the GRS guys. I did get outside the wire. I did do movements with them, and I am very grateful to them. They were. They were badasses. Truly, they were. They were a great bunch overall, I really liked. And now some of them, I know in later life, in, in media, so, you know, we've crossed paths later on. Anyway, that whole Benghazi situation came to. Well, there was the incident itself and that there was a complete lack of any assistance given Hillary Clinton. The whole thing was. Their whole thing was a disaster. They were not prepared. There were all kinds of political considerations. It should have cost. Well, certainly Hillary Clinton her job, and it should have cost Barack Obama reelection. But remember Candy Crowley in the debate? Remember Barack Obama did say it was an act of terror. No, not really, actually. And Mitt Romney, I know right now, Mitt Romney we think of in a very different context. He's like, well, I think Black Lives Matter. And, you know, he's marching with them. Okay, we Lost Mitt. Mitt went over to, you know, Mitt went over to Mordor. We lost him. But in 2012, he was the best we had, okay? He was our candidate. And he actually did a great job against Obama in the, completely destroyed Obama in the first debate, which all the Obama fans out there, Obama's so brilliant. Go back and watch it. Don't take my word for it. You only have to watch 10 minutes of it. I mean, Obama was a, was a no show. And Mitt does his homework, good on his feet, square jaw, handsome, you know, all that stuff. So he did a good job. And then in that second debate when it was focused on national security is when CNN's Candy Crowley threw her considerable weight in front of Barack Obama to defend him from the accusation that they had downplayed that this was an act of terror on the anniversary of 9 11, of course, that the Hillary Clinton State Department was completely ill prepared for and lied to the American people about. And it just was a. On national security, Barack Obama, there's, it's, it's amazing. He got one thing right, which was the bin Laden raid and everything else was a disaster. But because of the bin Laden raid, because of the CIA and SEAL Team Six, Barack got the credit. And everybody generally forgets about the rest of the record, which was abysmal. And it really matters because Joe Biden was the guy. He was their foreign. Think about that. Joe Biden was Barack Obama's foreign policy brain. Eight years of nothing but America in retreat. Eight years of disaster. Trump comes in, turns that around, puts America back on its front foot. And then of course, as we know, Biden 2020. And now we're back after four years of Biden retreat, most notably the disaster in Afghanistan. But you know, this, this is all, this is all tied in together what happened in Benghazi over a decade ago and that now we still have the Trump administration trying to get justice for what happened. Remember, we lost people that day. We lost four killed. And they burned down, you know, a U.S. facility tried to burn down another one, the annex. Thankfully GRS was there and they were unable to do so. And I just have to say the difference in both the approach to foreign policy, but really most importantly, in some ways the sense that people in the world of Trump and the maga, Republican America First Party, take the notion of America's reputation and American pride seriously and we will hunt down anyone who kills Americans. And that, that is something that is really meaningful, you know, and you could say, oh well, Barack, with the bin Laden Raid. Yeah, but like I said, there was that. Everything else was appeasement. Everything else was Iran deal. Everything else was disaster. Disaster in Libya, disaster in Syria, disaster in Iraq, the rise of isis. It couldn't have been, couldn't have been more of a mess. And so as we are in or entering this, the latter part soon, I guess we're still in the first half, but we're, we're, you know, moving along in Trump 2.0. It's worth noting that Trump and his team take this stuff seriously. AG Bondi, Attorney General Bondi, this is cut to. She pointed out, Hillary Clinton, remember that it was Ron Johnson who asked her the question, thank you, team, for reminding me. To which she responded, what difference does it make? Makes a big difference. Here's Pam Bondi play two.
- [15:12]
Pam Bondi
Hillary Clinton famously once said about Benghazi, what difference at this point does it make? Well, it makes a difference to Donald Trump. It makes a difference to those families, and 14 years later, it makes a difference to law enforcement who made the difference in this case. Thank you, President Trump, for supporting all of our agencies around the country and around the world. ABA Koosh will now face American justice on American soil. We will prosecute this alleged terrorist to the fullest extent of the law. He'll face charges related to murder, terrorism, arson, among others.
- [15:55]
Buck Sexton
It matters to the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens, to Sean Smith, to Tyrone woods, to Glenn Dougherty, matters to all of them. And it matters to the American people. Because if a bunch of savages murder our people in a foreign land, it is absolutely our obligation, our duty, using the full might and force of America to hunt them down and bring them to justice. And this sends a message. A message has certainly been received here by the other side. We'll get back into this and talk more about it and then also move into some of those policy issues I was talking about. Whether it's ICE or the SAVE act or your phone calls, by the way, and your talkbacks, light us up, please. All right. Staying in contact with family and trusted friends is critical. And this is why I want you to have rapid radios. You guys, as you know, I didn't have to deal with this, really. Although it got cold in Miami, up in Nashville, Clay, he was sending me photos. It was just like a giant ice rink up there everywhere, all kinds of problems with communications. But he had rapid radios. He was good to go, and he knew that he had that backup communication system. Cell towers all are having problems. Things go down. You can use your rapid radios. I think it's just important to have as part of your preparation package. Rapid Radios work clear communication, long battery life and durability that stands up to real world emergencies. Staying connected shouldn't depend on luck, should depend on the tools you trust. I live in South Florida. I'm always prepared. You know, we're I'm right in the hurricane zone here. So during the next blackout, during the next time, when some cell towers are down, some are up, you got to use Rapid radios. Go to rapid radios.com check out the new Rad Rad 1, see the full emergency features and grab the launch offer while it's still live. That's right, the RAD one. Go check it out. When the world goes quiet, make sure you don't rapidradios.com that's rapidradios.com communication redefined making America great again isn't just one man, it's many the Team 47 podcast Sundays at noon Eastern in the Clay.

Welcome in, everybody. Second hour of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show kicks off right now and we are joined by Katie Zachariah, our California consigliere. He joins us to tell us about all things political, legal and otherwise from the Golden State. Katie, thanks for joining us again. Great to have you.
- [21:23]
Katie Zachariah
Thank you. Bright and sunny out here.
- [21:26]
Buck Sexton
I bet. California and Florida around this time of year, early February. We have to watch out, Katie. We can be a little smug. We have a lot of listeners in the Dakotas and Minnesota and Maine and Alaska, and we don't want to be too smug about the fact that we're walking around in T shirts and enjoying the beautiful weather. We wouldn't want to talk about that on the radio show. So tell me, speaking of smug Democrats, they think that they're just going to waltz back into the governor's mansion. Tell me the latest state of play and also some of the milestones here, like what comes up, the gubernatorial primary for your state, of course, America's most populous state is coming up here pretty soon. What's happening?
- [22:14]
Katie Zachariah
Well, it's actually quite the shocker for Anyone that pays attention to our deep blue state is basically, we have Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco really at the top of Almost every poll, -2 Public Policy Institute of California, which is essentially a deep blue poll company. And then we have the Bold Decision, which has Democrats at a plus 20. But to have. And then you have about seven to 10 other polls looking at Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco really neck and neck, depending on the poll, one is polling ahead of the other. However, California is an open primary, so what that means is you get the top two candidates at the, at the very top. So if it's Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, then it's going to be two Republicans going at the very end in the general election, which is a, it's an interesting place to be. If we had voter ID Buck, I could say we'd likely get a Republican in, in 26. I have my doubts without any kind of regulation on who's going to those polls.
- [23:17]
Buck Sexton
So who are the Democrats right now that are in the mix? It's. Is it really Swalwell leading the pack? Is that, is that even whatever happened to Katie Porter?
- [23:27]
Katie Zachariah
Well, Katie Porter kind of went up in flames. But it wouldn't surprise you that the Public Policy Institute of California, as I mentioned before, the Deep Blue polling company has po her at a plus seven. I think if we just ran over and over reran those episodes of her screaming at her staff and yelling at reporters, we might see that poll go down. I think it's a fake poll. Much, much to the same as we've seen nationwide with fake polling. And then Bold decision has the plus 20 Democrats. But the thing is, is we don't, they don't really have a good Democrat Swalwell. They have, they have investigated is not a resident of California and so he's not going to be able to run at least right now as a governor.
- [24:08]
Buck Sexton
Is that, is that real? Has that pretty much been determined that his residency is an issue? He's not just going to be able to push that aside if we look.
- [24:16]
Katie Zachariah
At all the facts. He didn't show up at the debate. He hasn't been talking about it any longer. So piecing to get piecing it together during this investigation, what I would say is he got busted and he's maybe trying to redraw what, what, what he's going to do, but we're not sure. Swallow would be an awful candidate. As you know, he, he has, he doesn't care about the law. He doesn't care about leaks. He doesn't care about really anything that has to do with the constitution or law and order. He wants to demask ICE agents, he wants to take away their driver's license. Both in violation of the supremacy clause of our Constitution. This guy is such a loser. So if he gets in the race, it would be an embarrassment for California even more than Gavin Newsom, if he even got near the top.
- [25:00]
Buck Sexton
How do you see this playing out? I mean, I'm asking for a bit of a prediction prognostication from you on this, but take us into how, how you think this, how you think this primary plays out, and, and then what we're looking at going into the actual general election this fall.
- [25:19]
Katie Zachariah
So you have this sneaky candidate, man, that kind of came up through. He's a mayor and he's kind of come up through, got an endorsement and kind of a hat tip by our former mayoral candidate, Rick Caruso. He's, he's a kind of a moderate Democrat. But as everyone knows, there's no such thing as a moderate Democrat anymore. And it's just a mask that they put on. Much like Abigail Spanberger in Virginia. It's a mask they put on to appeal to Republicans that will, oh, let me, let me try to vote for someone that can win instead of a Republican. Look, people need to put their stake their all their stock. They need to put their vote behind a good Republican, and they need to push that as hard as they can. Right now, if you get Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, what would be nice is one concedes to the other and becomes a lieutenant governor, and that's the way you're going to get a Republican in California. You can't have these two guys that are pretty popular going after each other. They need to be focusing on going after the Democrats because that is the stronghold in California. And, and if they can eventually team up Buck, it's my opinion that maybe we could see maybe at some point a Republican. I don't know if we do it in this cycle again. As I said, we have voter ID on the ballot as a ballot measure. Carl Di Maio, an assemblyman, has done an amazing job with reform California. Elon Musk has voiced his support for this ballot initiative. It's an 8020 issue in California, but until we have that on the ballot, until we have that in our election system, statewide elections, we're probably not going to see a Republican.
- [26:53]
Buck Sexton
Now, I thought that they were going to sweep aside all of the regulations after that terrible Palisades fire. They told us they were Going to move super fast. Gavin Newsom was like, it's going to be lightning speed. It's going to be amazing. And yet that hasn't happened. We've talked to you about that before. Additionally, the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, she. It has come out well. Tell everybody. The mayor's office is supposed to release a report about how the mayor's office handled the fire. Basically. How has that been going?
- [27:31]
Katie Zachariah
Well, actually, I'm just going to lead out of the hatch. The LA Times wrote an article on this and she said the mayor, the Mayor Bass released a watered down report. If this were Republican, you know, the Times would be just absolutely shredding that mayor. The mayor is criminally negligent and liable for the Palisades fire and then a massive cover up. The LA Times deserves a big smack on this because she salute. Like she actually maliciously covered up a report that was supposed to be a transparent report on how the fire was handled. And don't you love watered down? Well, that's about the only thing that's been watered down in the Palisades. There was an entire week that a brush fire had been started that should have actually been watered down. And because she was in Ghana and had no oversight and had actually defunded or at least cut the budget by a large part for LA county and statewide California fire insurance or fire budget, firefighters budget. They were not doing their job or they were not even given the ability to do their job and go put out that fire. So huge negligence, criminal negligence. In my mind, Mayor Bass, if this were any other state than California and Los Angeles county, she should be resigning in shame. Not just for that report, but for how she's handled this the entire time. But somehow they just keep getting away with it. And there's not enough buck. The problem with conservatives, there's not enough outrage from the conservatives, from Republicans or even moderates. They, they just, they. They get outraged at ridiculous stuff and they don't get outraged at what actually is disturbing behavior on behalf of Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom.
- [29:19]
Buck Sexton
You know, Billie Eilish had that little rant about stolen land in your. Did she? Is she in Malibu? You know, these fancy places. She got like a mansion, a mansion somewhere like that. And now the tribe that claims that this was originally their land is asking Billy to hand it over. I don't see why. I'm sure Gavin Newsom and others would applaud this, but I doubt Billie Eilish is actually going to hand over her stolen land.
- [29:47]
Katie Zachariah
Everyone likes to go up during The Grammys or Golden Globes or whatever, you know, award show that's happening in Hollywood that's just a snooze fest. And talk about these major terms like defund ice or ice out and, you know, stolen land. But then when they actually are on stolen land and the tribe to say, hey, maybe you should give us the land back that your house sits on. I doubt she's going to do it, though. A law firm has decided to represent the tribe and is pursuing her and pursuing the land. And I think that this is, you know, comedic justice for her. You want to get up and say it, you got to, you know, put your money where your mouth is.
- [30:28]
Buck Sexton
Also, I just wonder when they're going to figure out that it's not even America that stole the land initially. It would be the Spanish conquistador, the Spanish expansion and conquistadors that took the land, and then we took it from them. So I feel like at this point, it should be a wash. One more thing. Did. Did you get a chance outside of your state? But we just talked about this. I know you're very. You're very into fitness. You're. You're a mom of four, right? So you're a mom of four who finds time to be very into health and wellness and fitness. Did you see this video of the Banshee yogis in Minneapolis shouting at the employees over ICE enforcement issues? Tell me this doesn't happen in, like, most California yoga studios, does it? Isn't everyone supposed to just smell incense, listen to wind chimes, and bend into different positions? Like, this was kind of an outrage.
- [31:19]
Katie Zachariah
I. I have not seen this video, but it doesn't.
- [31:21]
Buck Sexton
Oh, you haven't seen the video? Oh, we got to send it to you. I mean, the short version is that it's at a core power yoga class, and like, 13 women surround two of the employees and are. And they're just shouting at them. And because they won't put ice, like, not allowed here signs in the yoga studio windows, I mean, you're in California. I feel like even for Californians, that's a little aggressive.
- [31:44]
Katie Zachariah
That is aggressive. And the truth is, is it actually, it goes to, like, the Renee Goode and it goes to the indoctrination happening especially in Minnesota, where you have, you know, Governor Waltz calling ICE the Gestapo, et cetera, et cetera. Really, this is the. To use the word woke mind virus actually doesn't encapsulate the entirety of what's happening. Happening with an entire population of people that have been completely, you know, have turned against even their core values. If you talk about yoga, it's like what inner peace and, and health and wellness and forgiveness and love of your neighbor. I mean all of these types of concepts have gone out the window for or even a mom of three who's now, you know, who drove into an ice agent. It's, it's, it's pretty disturbing. Where are they getting it? Tick Tock or some kind of online indoctrination forum that's making these people beyond tds. It's just completely outraged all the time.
- [32:38]
Buck Sexton
One more thing we're going to have to have you back to talk about. It's kind of a preview but, but now you have to come back and hang out with us. And Clay will be back for that one. He is, he's busy having fun at the big game for the weekend. But there's an anti, a Trump anti fraud task force that is now targeting California and it's going to be led by J.D. vance. You see, J.D. vance is going to turn into the rooting out fraud guy here in California. I bet he's going to find crazy stuff.

Katie Zachariah
So you look at what they've said is perhaps 19 billion in Minnesota and you have, you know, maybe a 5.23 million population in California. We're almost at 40 million people. It's an enormous state. The estimate estimated fraud is probably and I'm just going to go part by part, you know, you look at the, the damage done to the Palisades, 250 billion, probably around 250 billion in fraud or more. And it's perfect that it's going to be J.D. vance because if Gavin Newsom does get the endorsement otherwise other than from Vogue and New York Times. But it is the Democrat darling for the presidential run and he goes against J.D. vance, he's going to have to answer directly for the fraud that JD Vance is looking at in California. I think it's perfect, especially ahead of FIFA and the Olympics. It's, I think California is about to go up in flames and not literally.

Stories that unite us all each day. Spend time with Clay and Buck. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome in everybody. Third hour of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show kicks off right now. Just quick, quick recap in case you're joining us. The big news of the day today. The big breaking news is the attorney General Pam Bondi announcing that they have arrested Zubair Al Bakush, who is in fact a Benghazi terrorist, I guess allegedly, because he still has to go through the court process. I doubt he's going to sue me, though, because I think we all know that he's probably, probably the guy if they're, if they're picking him up 13 years later, he's probably the guy. Innocent until proven guilty. But we'll see. So that is something that went on. In fact, you know what? We let's just hear from Pam Bondi on this real quick. This is cut three. Play it.
- [38:08]
Pam Bondi
Let this case serve as a reminder. If you commit a crime against the American people anywhere in this world, President Trump's Justice Department will find you. It might not happen overnight, but it will happen. You can run, but you cannot hide.
- [38:28]
Buck Sexton
Indeed, indeed. A very powerful statement of the continued focus of this administration on the security of the American people and a willingness to bring justice to those, even if it is years later, bring justice to those who attack Americans and harm our interests as a nation around the world. So that is the big breaking news of the day. Something else that is going on right now, and that is the continuation of this fight over. Oh, may I also just say, sorry, we haven't, I haven't talked about. Clay's out today just because he's doing big game stuff, because he's out in California where the big game thing is going to be happening. He will be back with us on Monday, of course, and he'll be saying, wow, Buck, that's amazing that your beloved Patriots were victorious. But that's all that's coming up on Monday. In the meantime, we haven't talked about this Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mom who was kidnapped. We don't know a whole lot more. But now there's the New York Post here saying the following camera snatched off Nancy Guthrie's house could have been kidnappers test to see if cops responded, according to crime experts. So authorities are still trying to get this timeline together. There was a 25 minute window between 1:47am Sunday when the 84 year old's doorbell camera disconnected and then when software data recorded movement on her phone. So something happened. There's some kind of a gap here now if someone's taking the doorbell camera apart. And that to me is an indicator of certainly a degree of premeditation, but also the kind of person who has really thought this thing through. And this was a plot, this wasn't a spur of the moment thing by some, you know, deranged random person in the neighborhood. We don't have much to go on though here. We have very little to work with still. So we're following this. If we obviously get any kind of a big break in the case, we will jump right in with that and tell you what's going on. We hope that Nancy Guthrie's returned safe and unharmed to her family as soon as possible. Now taking things to New York City and ice, which is where I was going a moment ago, they are, they are trying to dig in now. They think that they've gotten, if not a victory in Minneapolis. I think they believe the left believes they have something of a stalemate that they have achieved with the Trump administration. And that is encouraging to them. Although Tom Holman has said that there is now unprecedented cooperation underway between immigration enforcement officers and state and local authorities in Minnesota, really Minneapolis, when it comes to illegal immigrants and what they and they need to deport them, those who are high risk, public safety risks, all of that. Now, Zoran Mamdani, as you know, is the mayor of New York, which is a shame because New York is my hometown and always will be and I still have family there. So I am rooting for New York, even though some of you, I think, watch with a little schadenfreude. Little schadenfreude, that's the word of the day, Team Schadenfreude. That's one of those good long German words that has a very specific meaning that's quite, can be quite useful at the misfortune of New York City because of the politics of a majority of New York residents, or at least those who show up and decided to vote for this guy, which was appalling. New York now has a guy who is saying, Mamdani is saying he has signed an executive order on New York City sanctuary laws to strengthen the sanctuary. So he's going in the other direction. Right. We've heard from Tom Homan in Minneapolis. After all that's gone on, look, we're willing to adjust their tactics there, pull out some of the ICE officers from the surge that we've had there, but we're getting more cooperation. If Tom Holman says it, I believe it. So I'm just going to say this, and I don't think Tom Holman. There are some people on our team who will BS a little bit. There are. Tom Holman is not one of them. And like I said, I've known him for quite some time, you know, been aware of him and interviewed him at all the rest of it. So if he says that's happening, I take him at his word. Meanwhile, in New York City, at an interfaith breakfast, Mamdani has said, well, here he has an executive order does the following. A prohibition on ICE entering New York City property without a judicial warrant. This includes schools, shelters and hospitals. Enhancement of privacy protections to avoid New Yorkers private data from being accessed by the federal government. A public safety audits report submitted to the mayor to ensure that all New York agencies are complying with this and create an interagency committee to coordinate this. Wow. He is. He is doubling down on sanctuary city status right now. President Trump cannot ignore this. ICE cannot ignore. He is. He wants New York to be the next battlefield, if you will, and we say that metaphorically, but he wants New York to be the next battlefield in the immigration enforcement realm. And this administration is going to have to take him at his word. They're going to have to go. They're going to have to go all in. Now, they can't allow this because then you'll have other places that think they can do the same thing. First of all, I don't even know how they think that they can prohibit federal law enforcement from entering city property. Is that even. Is that lawful? Can you do that? So, like you, you can say that a federal law enforcement is not able to go inside of a hospital. I don't even know how that look. To me, it seems like all of this stuff is, is going to have to get slapped down by, by a judge. New York City is still part of America, and the federal government is still able to send federal officers into places that are generally open to the public. I mean, take, take it this way. Could Mamdani. I mean, let's go, let's go to the, the logical ends of this. Could Mamdani just say that federal law enforcement's not allowed in New York City? Banned from New York City because he's basically saying they're banned from all city property and they're not allowed into private property. That's, you know, that's constitutional. That's well established. We know that they can't just go into your house unless they have a warrant. But now they're banned from public property, in essence, in the city of New York. How is that supposed to work? This is. He's calling down, he's calling down the, the wrath. And it, it must be delivered. There must be a response to this from Trump, from Tom Homan and from others. And he also did this, which was getting a lot of attention. He cited Islam as. And his faith, you know, his Islamic faith, as an example of how we should view migrants and migration. Play. Play the mayor of New York.
- [46:41]
Zoran Mamdani
The story of the Hijra reminds us that Prophet Muhammad was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina. Surah An Nahl 1642 tells us, as for those who immigrated in the cause of Allah after being persecuted, we will surely bless them with a good home in this world. Or as the Prophet Muhammad said, Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange. So glad tidings to the strangers.
- [47:12]
Buck Sexton
You know, citing Islam as the example of welcoming migrants is interesting because we were talking the other day about stolen land and conquest. A lot of conquests from Islam. A lot of convert. Conversion by the sword going on. Whole part of the world that used to be the Eastern Orthodox Christian empire is now thought of as part of the Islamic world because of war and conquest. Now we don't, you know, you don't see us crying about it. You don't see us crying that the most beautiful building in Istanbul was originally a Christian cathedral. You know, they took it. You can say fair and square or not, but they took it. But I think it's fascinating that he thinks that Islam is the greatest or even more specifically the life of the, of the Prophet Muhammad is the example of this. Yes. Muhammad, who was also such a humanitarian that he was known to execute captives from his various raiding and warring practices. So people that were completely defenseless or whatever got to execute them. But he's, you know what ICE is doing, though? Enforcing our laws and bringing people through detention back to their home country where they belong. That's really nasty. Muhammad lopping off some heads because people weren't on his team and he captured them. You know, he had to do what he had to do. I don't know. I don't know how much of his Own history or the history of Islam. Mr. Mamdani actually knows, man, he really leans into the pronunciation. Does he speak Arabic or is he one of these guys who doesn't speak the language, but when he says the words, he really wants to sound like he speaks the language because he was, you know. Can we. Can you guys play it again for a sec? I want you guys to hear. This is the mayor of New York city, place where 911 happened. And here's how he's talking about things. Play it.
- [49:15]
Zoran Mamdani
The story of the hijra reminds us that prophet Muhammad was a stranger too, who fled Mecca and was welcomed in medina. Surah Nahl 1642 tells us, as for those who immigrated in the cause of Allah after being persecuted, we will surely bless them with a good home in this world. Or as the prophet Muhammad said, Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange. So glad tidings to the strangers.
- [49:44]
Buck Sexton
Wow. I mean, credit where it's due. Apparently Madani does speak Arabic. So there you go. Or at least some. I wonder how good he is. But some. He speaks Hindu, Urdu that I knew, and obviously English and Spanish that I knew. Speaks a little bit of Arabic. But yeah, I think it's interesting that he's citing Islam as like the welcoming because is the Islamic world really excited to get non Muslims migrating to their countries today? Is that a thing? You know, do you have the Saudis? Like, you know what we could use here? A whole lot more Christians. Not even going to get into the whole Jewish thing. We know how that would go. But I don't really think of the Islamic world as the place you want to think of or you want to cite as Give me your tired, you're poor, you're hungry, from very disparate cultures that don't speak our language and don't share our religion. But there we have it. Mamdani. Yeah, he's. The good thing about him is you just know whatever he can do to undermine capitalism, the rule of law and civilization, he will do. So there you go. It's never a surprise once you understand the nature of mamadaniism. It's just a question of what he's going to say today. But you know where it's coming from. All right, look, I can't think of a more committed nonprofit organization than preborn than when it comes to saving the lives of unborn children. For 20 years now, they've been at it and they've been incredibly successful. Last year alone, they saved the lives of 80,000 unborn children. With their efforts and the help of your contributions. Individuals like Evie, a young woman who found her way to a preborn clinic only after ending the life of her first child through abortion. But when she found out she was expecting again, she didn't know what to do. She wasn't prepared to become a mother, but her first decision to abort left her with incredible grief. So when she became pregnant that second time, everything was different. She returned to a preborn clinic and when she saw her baby on ultrasound, she became excited. When she heard that tiny heartbeat, she felt the hand of God pushing her toward life. Those ultrasound experiences make all the difference. An ultrasound machine doesn't just show a picture, it introduces a mother to her child. If you have the means, Please support Preborn $28 is the cost of a single ultrasound experience, which can help save a life today. But any multiple of that number will save perhaps many times more in terms of tiny babies in the womb. $28 $2800 whatever you have the means to donate to Preborn will be used for this incredible mission of saving lives. So with your cell phone, dial £250 and say the keyword baby. That's £250. Say baby or go to preborn.com buck Sponsored by Preborn Sometimes all you can do is laugh and they do a lot of it with the Sunday hang. Join Clay and Buck as they laugh.

All right, so generally at this time on a Friday, I would kick back, relax, talk to you about what I'm gonna watch over the weekend, hang out and everything else. Well, first off, the relaxing thing to tell you about manufacturing Delusion, how the left uses brainwashing, indoctrination and propaganda against you. As the book suggests, how the left uses brainwashing, indoctrination and propaganda is what I get into here. And I go through the history of totalitarian mind control over the last hundred years or so and the actual things that they have done to their own populations. And then I go, hey, what are they doing that they did in the Maoist Cultural Revolution or in Stalin Soviet Union or what kind of experiments to train the brain, whether it's Pavlov with the dogs. And I get into that and there's a lot of misconceptions about Pavlov, but I start off with that all the way into jihadists. How do you create. How do you create a pipeline of people that are willing to blow themselves up? How do you get people to become so enamored with a cult leader that they will pay thousands and thousands of dollars for drops of his bathwater, which was a real thing, by the way, in a cult that I talk about in the book His Bathwater. Yeah, you need to get this book and you need to get the pre orders of it because we, my friends, we're going to reestablish that conservative books are something that conservatives buy and read. There's been kind of a big dip, honestly, in the last few years in this. And even some of the great authors out there have had it. Have had a really hard time getting people to try. Try out their books and to get a copy and to read them. So you're going to help me turn that around because this book took basically 18 months for me to write. And then the CIA sat on it for, I don't know, five months or something to clear it. And yeah, there's some cool CIA stories in there. It's not about my time to CIA. I was only in for five years, so. But there's some stories, some anecdotes about what I saw there. So please get the book. If you go to clay and buck.com you can click there and you can get the special bonus. I did a old case officer buddy of mine, we sat down, we talked about MK Ultra. Those of you who are like MK Ultra, the Bilderbergs, you know, all that stuff. MK Ultra, go check it out. And that's up to clambuck.com so pre order though, arrive when it should ship to you right when the book comes out. So you'll have it on that day and we'll be talking about it there. And yeah, Manufacturing Delusion. And some of you will probably also know that Manufacturing Consent was a Noam Chomsky book and Noam Chomsky is a vile leftist loon. And this book needs to crush. Needs to crush. This is the real, you know, Manufacturing Consent. This is a little bit of a extended finger toward that book, if you know what I mean. And this is Manufacturing Delusion, which is what leftists and communists do. So get your copy. All right, infomercial over. We have something to Talk about here. I was in the great state of Indiana not long ago and we were visiting with our friends at WO woe, a fantastic heritage radio station with a devoted audience of great patriots, many of whom we got to meet that day. But I remember one of the topics from Indiana politics at that time was the. The map. The map and whether Indiana would be willing to pass. Indiana Senate Republicans would pass a mid cycle congressional redistricting map back in 2025, and they refused to do it. They could have eliminated the state's two Democrat held seats. And remember, we're in a very narrowly divided Congress right now. We have a very slight congressional majority here, and so every seat really counts. And we could end up in a situation where after this midterm election, it's a, it comes down to a couple seats again. So it really does matter. And I just think it's interesting that Indiana state senators. Let me see, like Mike Bohachek, he comes up here this mid cycle gerrymandering, felt like, quote, rigging the system and did not align with Indiana's traditional political culture. Did not align with Indiana's traditional political culture. Okay, okay, guys, do we got it? There's a whole thing here on the right. We talk about know what time it is. Know what time it is when you're dealing with this Democrat Party Indiana Republicans. You failed us. You failed us. And if you're wondering why, why I'm saying that now, I would have been saying it then too. Virginia Democrats who have come in just, just communist, guns blazing now that they, they ran this milquetoast cipher of a candidate with Allison. What's, what's her. What's her. I don't even remember her name. So boring. She actually was formerly in the agency. What's her name? I don't know. Good Burger? What? Something like Span Burger? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Span Burger. They got Spam Burger in there. And, and she runs. She's like, I'm just a mom and I'm boring and I'm a moderate because. Because I'm boring. Right? That's the idea. If you're so boring, you can't. How bad can you be if you're that boring? I really think that was a big part of the push. It turns out really bad, you know, it turns out really bad. I mean, I don't know. Was Stalin fun at parties? Probably not, but he was really bad. So now is she as bad as Stalin? Of course not. She doesn't have that much power, so she can't be. But she's in charge now in Virginia and they've just come through with all this legislation that they're going to try to ram through in the Democrat controlled house or Democrat controlled state house. All the stuff that you would expect from Democrats, all the, you know, oh, rapists, murderers, less time in prison because obviously that's what Democrats think is going to make things better. So like really bad, violent criminals, less time in prison, taxes got to go up, trannying the kids got to have that estate policy, like all the things. And you go, hold on, I thought, you know, unfortunately there's some people in Virginia maybe weren't paying that close attention. You know, they got used to having a very competent and very solid governor in Youngkin. And governor, Governor Youngkin did a good job and he was a very reasonable guy, super smart guy, you know.

Of, you know, Romney esque, tall, square jaw, the whole thing. But didn't go all left wing like Romney did because of Trump derangement syndrome. And he did a good job. And now they've got somebody in there, they've basically got a Trojan horse, communist. What a shock. Just like we all said they would have. And so they got all these laws now in Virginia. I'm not even kidding. I had a friend yesterday, the day before, he's asking me for help with real estate in Florida. Hey, where should I live? Where should I look? Because he says, I just. Virginia. I can't do it anymore. Can't do it anymore. Not with this lunatic Democrat running the show and they're going to jack up my taxes. I'm like, buddy, come on down to Florida. The water is literally pretty warm. So he's going to come join. I think there's others as well. He's a Trump orbit guy, but I won't get any more specific than that. So now we get to Virginia's and why was I talking about Indiana? I'm weaving, guys, I'm weaving. But I always bring it back all the way here. Talking about Indiana because in Indiana they're like, we don't want to look too rough on the Republican, on the Democrats. We have a traditional way of doing, you know, they want to take the Ned Flanders approach. Hi diddly doodley. They want to be on Ned Flanders in Indiana state, state Senate. Why? Because they think that the other side is going to reward, reward them for their decency. That is always. You're talking about Democrats. That is always a mistake. Do not, do not ever think that when you're in power as a Republican, Democrats will respect the cordial, the Cordial outreach from your side. Once they're in power, they're going to put their, they're going to have the purple haired street maniacs, you know, picketing outside your house and throwing bottles of urine at your cops and doing what they always do. The Democrats, this is who they are. This is, this is who Democrats are. Unfortunately, you see this all over the country. And then we have Virginia. So in Indiana, we can't be, we can't be too harsh. Let's not redistrict and make it benefit Republicans because we want to be nice. That's what this, that's what they said there in Virginia. They are going for the jugular. What a shock. They are trying to put through the most absurd, absurd congressional map you have ever seen. I mean, it'll look like the one in Illinois that has the little thing down the center and you're like, oh, okay, so this absurd map and that's, that's going to make it essentially 10 Democrat districts, congressional districts and one Republican district. OK, think about this. Virginia is a purple state. It just had a Republican governor. And now the Democrats as the second they get into power in that state, they try and they come into power saying, you know, we're going to be moderates who lower prices, we care about schools and affordability. All nonsense, all nonsense. They're just gonna make all that stuff worse. Meanwhile, they're gonna be training your kids and letting the felons out to, you know, rape, loot and pillage more. That's what they're gonna do. That's what they always do. And now we find out, now we find out that the plan is to go 10 to 1, Democrat to Republican with their redistricting map. It's in the court. I know it's there gonna be some court stuff fighting about the procedural extension of whether they, you know, there's, there's, there's procedural fighting. And you know, I'm not an expert in the parliamentary procedures of every state house and state legislature. So I don't know if it's likely that that will be, you know, that will be a thing that works or not as an objection to this. But I just want to, I just want to point out in India, a nice solid red Republican state like Indiana, full of patriots, full of good people, full of law abiding Americans who you know, you'd want as your neighbors and you want coaching your son's little league team, all that good stuff, they go Ned Flanders on redistricting. They're like, well, neighbor, we don't want to be too tough on you. So we're going to let the Democrats have their two seats. And Virginia, a purple state. A purple state. Democrats are just trying to just, just go all in and smash the Republican congressional representation in that state. 10 to 1. 10 to 1 in a pretty populous state, by the way. A state that's got a, you know, obviously got a lot of congressional seats in it. So is the lesson learned? When will the lesson be learned here? You know, I don't know. You know, I know we could probably get some Indiana state senator calling like, well, just because, just because they do things the communists are mean in Virginia doesn't mean we should be mean in Indiana. I don't know. I think it does. I think you got to figure out what political world you are living in in America today and understand that this isn't just about the state of Indiana. It's about a congressional majority which affects all of us. And if, if the, if the rules are, and it seems that these are basically the rules, whoever's in charge gets to make the rules about congressional district. Republicans gotta play by that same set of rules. Cannot do this. Like, we don't want to be too harsh with the other side. Why? They hate you. They want.

If they could make the Republican Party illegal, they would do it. Remember this, the, the, the extent of Democrat, Democrat destruction and devastation in this country is just limited by the power they have to do it. If they had more power, they'd do even worse stuff to us. Thankfully they're, you know, roughly half the country, a little more, a little less. And so they can't just get away with whatever, but if they could, they absolutely, absolutely would. And so I think that that should be in the minds of anybody who wants to take the gentlemanly approach to dealing with that Democrat Party. Do you have the Prizepix app on your phone by any chance?
