1. Introduction and Personal Updates

Buck Sexton kicks off the episode by updating listeners on personal endeavors, including his upcoming firearms training with a former SEAL Team 6 operator alongside his brothers. He humorously contrasts his intense training with impending fatherhood duties, highlighting the balance between personal growth and family responsibilities.

2. Trump's Strategic Interests in Greenland

Buck delves into former President Donald Trump's recent remarks regarding Greenland, emphasizing its strategic importance for U.S. national security. He discusses Trump's proposal to incorporate Greenland as a U.S. territory, citing its geopolitical significance and resource potential.

• Buck Sexton [05:30]: "Greenland is very important for national security. We have a couple of bases there and quite a few soldiers. Maybe you'll see more soldiers go there."

He compares this initiative to historical land acquisitions like the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska, arguing that Trump's interest in Greenland aligns with long-standing U.S. expansionist strategies.

• Buck Sexton [08:45]: "If Guam can be accepted as a U.S. territory for strategic reasons, why can't Greenland be in the mix if they agree to it?"

3. Senate Leadership and the Government Shutdown

The discussion shifts to the political landscape, focusing on Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer's stance on avoiding a government shutdown. Buck criticizes Schumer for supporting measures that he believes undermine Democratic priorities and accuses him of capitulating to Republican pressures.

• Chuck Schumer [07:15] (Clip): "We got to keep the government open. The shutdown would be the greatest disaster we face."

• Buck Sexton [09:11]: "Elections have consequences, AOC. That's really the problem. You're in the minority."

Buck contends that Schumer's decisions reflect broader Democratic disarray and a lack of coherent strategy against Republican agendas.

4. Violence Against Jewish and Christian Communities in the Middle East

Clay brings attention to the ongoing violence targeting Jewish and Christian populations in the Middle East, specifically highlighting recent atrocities against Syrian Christians. He underscores the role of Israel as the only democracy in the region with a growing Christian population.

• Clay Travis [15:30]: "Israel is the Middle East's only democracy, but it's also the only nation in the region with a growing Christian population."

He calls for support of organizations like the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) to aid affected communities.

5. Interview with White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly

The highlight of the episode is an in-depth interview with White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly. The conversation covers several key policy areas:

a. Economic Tariffs and Reciprocity

Anna Kelly explains the administration's tariff policies aimed at protecting domestic industries and ensuring reciprocity in international trade. She emphasizes the creation of a level playing field for American workers and farmers.

• Anna Kelly [37:26]: "These tariffs are finally making sure that we are leveling the playing field, enacting the same tariffs that these countries around the world have imposed on us for years."

b. Judicial Universal Injunctions

Kelly addresses the Biden administration's use of universal injunctions perceived as overreaches into the executive branch's authority. She asserts that these legal actions impede the President's ability to manage the executive branch effectively.

• Anna Kelly [39:19]: "We believe that is unjust. We believe it is unconstitutional and we will continue to fight back against our efforts to seize the power of the President of the United States."

c. Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798

A significant portion of the interview discusses Trump's intention to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport suspected members of designated foreign terrorist organizations to Guantanamo Bay. Kelly defends this move as a necessary measure to enhance border security and combat terrorism.

• Anna Kelly [40:33]: "We know that the president is delivering on his promise to enact the largest mass deportation of migrant criminals in American history to stop the invasion."

d. Border Security and Fentanyl Seizures

Kelly highlights the administration's success in reducing illegal border crossings and fentanyl seizures, attributing these improvements to strengthened border policies and international cooperation.

• Buck Sexton [42:48]: "Do we have some data on the drug numbers coming down as well?"

• Anna Kelly [42:48]: "We are also holding countries like Mexico and Canada accountable for the influx of fentanyl that has come into our country killing Americans."

e. Media Relations and Policy Implementation

Kelly criticizes mainstream media for their perceived bias and inability to acknowledge the administration's achievements, asserting that public support validates their policies despite media narratives.

• Anna Kelly [45:51]: "The approval is on our side. The American people overwhelmingly support his agenda."

f. Clarification on USAID Building Clearance

Addressing misinformation, Kelly clarifies that the clearing of classified documents from the USAID building was a routine process in preparation for its transfer to Customs and Border Patrol, dismissing claims of impropriety.

• Anna Kelly [44:20]: "This was a totally normal process meant to dispose of classified copies of documents."

6. Media Critique and Democratic Party Analysis

Buck and Clay express skepticism towards Democratic leadership and media portrayals, arguing that Democrats are disorganized and ineffective in countering Republican policies. They criticize media figures like MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell for expressing fatigue and disillusionment with Democratic strategies.

• Buck Sexton [10:41]: "Media apparatus of the Democrats, all completely, I would say, largely irrelevant at this point."

• Clay Travis [11:13]: "It is remarkable how hard it is to install these car seats in the back of cars... [contextual humorous interruption]."

7. Conclusion and Final Remarks

As the episode wraps up, Buck previews his upcoming training session and invites listeners to engage via the Talkback app. Both hosts reiterate their commitment to discussing pivotal national issues and encourage listeners to stay informed and involved.

Last day of vacation for him this, this week. He'll be back Monday. He's had a great time out in Steamboat, Steamboat Springs, also known as Steamboat, I think in Colorado. And he'll be back Monday. So next week we'll be all fired up. The, the Dynamic Duo back in action. Speaking of action, this weekend I'll be out training in an undisclosed location, do some firearms training with a former Silk Team 6 operator. So looking forward to that. I'll tell you all about it when I get back. I'm going with my brothers kind of a guy's training trip before I am being trained to burp a tiny baby and put diapers on. So this weekend, running around in the shoot house clearing rooms. In a few weekends, I'm on diaper change duty for a long time. So there we go. Exciting things happening in, in my world. Exciting things happening across the country and around the world too. I want to dive into it. Speak. You know what? Let's have some fun. Cause it's Friday. Speaking of the world, there's a little place, it's actually giant, not little, a place called Greenland. Now you may have not heard very much about it until Donald Trump came along. Perhaps you've been told the old story that they called it Iceland even though it had far less ice and Greenland even though it had far less green. Kind of mixing things up for people. I don't even, I think that's urban legend. But whatever the people say that about it and Trump is not backing away from this one on Greenland. He's having quite a week. This is cut one talking about this large island that he thinks should be our island. Play it. We really need Greenland for national security. It's very important. You know, we have a couple of bases on Greenland already and we have quite a few soldiers. And maybe you'll see more and more soldiers go there. I don't know. What do you think about that, Pete? So don't answer that piece. Don't answer that question. But we have, we have bases that, we have quite a few soldiers on Greenland. Look, it's not a crazy idea. We're not going, we're not going to invade. And people say stuff like that. Give me a break. It's, you know, get a sense of humor. But why shouldn't we think more about this? You know, if, if Guam can be accepted by Everybody as a U.S. territory in the middle of nowhere in the South Pacific. And it's a, it's an important US Territory, by the way, for strategic reasons. We all know why, why can't Greenland possibly be in the mix if they agree to it. Trump pointed this one out. He said, look, Denmark, which is currently administering Greenland, what does that even really mean? Denmark is not exactly next door. So maybe this makes more sense than people are willing to think the first time around. Plate two, you have ships all over the place, and we have to have protection. So we're going to have to make a deal on that. And Denmark is not able to do that. You know, Denmark's very far away and really has nothing to do what happens. A boat landed there 200 years ago or something, and they say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I'm not. I don't think it is, actually. But we've been dealing with Denmark, we've been dealing with Greenland, and we have to do it. We really need it for national security. I think that's why NATO might be have to get involved. He said, look, it's an important strategic location. There are very few people who live there on this giant landmass, which is a lot of glaciers and ice, but there's land, too, and there's a lot of minerals and resources when you get under that ice. But also, given the increasing focus on the race to the Arctic that is has been underway for a long time, but is heating up more these days, it makes some sense. So this is not a crazy idea. Canada, the 51st state. That's not going to happen. He's trolling. We, you and I know, we speak Trump. We know when he's serious. The Greenland thing I don't think is likely, but it is not impossible. And we'll see how much time and focus he wants to put on this. If you look at, I just take a little step back for some historical perspective. If you look at some of the best moves made by any American statesman in the history of our country, really, they were land purchases and, you know, bringing land into these United States. Louisiana purchased greatest land deal, I think, of all time. Even Trump would be like, better than any of my land deals. It's the greatest land deal of all time. And then, of course, other things. Alaska. Seward's Icebox, they called it. Turned out he was pretty smart. And other places, other territories that we've picked up along the way, you know, this is. It's something to think about. It's just we're having a little fun on a Friday. All right, you want to get into the really important stuff? And you join me for the really important stuff. Let's get into the really important Stuff. First of all, Senate majority. I'm sorry, Senate Democrat leader, not majority leader. Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer is saying that he is going to vote to keep the government open. And he's. He's getting a lot of heat from his own side on this one, but he understands the direction the wind is blowing in right now politically. Let's hear cut 10. Here's Chuck Schumer telling everybody that, look, we got to avoid the shutdown place. I supported what the House did to vote against this bill universally, but that didn't cause a shutdown. It's a different. It's different in the Senate. And I knew people were going to disagree with me, but I felt so strongly that the shutdown would be the greatest disaster we face with these arrogant, arrogant autocrats that we had to avoid the shutdown and fight on many of the other things. Every other issue that we have. He's saying, look, this is the thing we got to do here. I don't like it, but this is where we are. We got to keep the government open. Because he knows that the American people have seen enough of Democrats saying, how dare you even consider shutting down the government. You can't do that. You can't do that. And now they're gonna try to turn around and play it on the other side. Aoc, who has the advantage of not having to do real to do politics, but really to do social media, right? She doesn't have to pass legislation. She doesn't have to think about bills and laws. She just has to do, like, Instagram videos and like, tweet and go on MSNBC even though no one's watching. And she is very upset about Schumer backing down and being willing to back the GOP bill. This is 11. Hit it.

[Leah Palmieri]

This Republican extreme spending bill removes all of the guardrails and all of the accountability measures to ensure that money is being spent in the way that Congress has directed for it to be spent. This turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It sacrifices congressional authority, and it is deeply partizan. And so, to me, it is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to. To hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect Social Security, protect Medicaid, and protect Medicare.

[Buck Sexton]

Elections have consequences, aoc. That's really the problem. You're in the minority. In the last election, the American people spoke loudly and clearly about which party they want to be in control. And the GOP is going forward with the agenda. So I think this is a, a, a very good thing. I think this is something. Well, if there had been a shutdown, Schumer would have gotten the blame for it and the Democrats would have been even more messed up than they are. Is that even really possible? My old, this cut 17, my old table mate at Real News, SE cup, old friend of mine, she's even saying on CNN she's like the Democrats total mess right now. Play it.

[Leah Palmieri]

It is shocking how Democrats have not figured out what is coming down the pike. It is March. You know, the spending fight is coming and you know Republicans have a majority. I don't understand. For all the chaos on the right, Democrats are a mess. They haven't figured out it's not how they're going to fight Donald Trump yet. They haven't even figured out if they're going to fight Donald Trump's agenda. They've got to get it together and get on the same page and figure out a roadmap going forward because the chaos is going to be daily, there's going to be incoming for months and they are not, they are not on.

[Buck Sexton]

The same page at all. That's clear. Yeah, they got nothing. Right. I mean I did. I don't think the Republicans are in chaos at all really. I think that this administration is operating as close to a Swiss watch as anyone could imagine given the scope of what they're trying to accomplish. And part of the strategy is everything everywhere all at once. And it's working because Democrats are in complete disarray, a total mess. They don't know what to do. So much so that some of them are calling in sick. And I'm not exaggerating. Or maybe they're calling in for a vacation. Here is MSNBC's this is 24 MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. He just can't handle it anymore. Democrats are getting the butts kicked so badly he's taking a vacation cuz he just, they've, we've broken him playing. Well, here's the thing. This is day 52. I thought it was day 92. It turns out it's day 52, Rachel. And I'm exhausted at day 52. And so I, I'm going to take next week off. And I'm telling you that now because I know you don't like it when I just drift away and I don't. But just taking next week off, then I, then I come back. Honestly, the smart Democrat pundits right now should probably all take a vacation. For a week or five or more, because they just have absolutely no way of opposing, slowing down or doing anything to stop the Trump agenda, with the exception of. We're going to get into this. These judges, the judges are a big problem right now. These universal injunctions, it is unconstitutional, it is overreach, it is madness. So that's msnbc, the pundits, the media apparatus of the Democrats, all completely, I would say, largely irrelevant at this point. They don't really. They'll come back. I know, but right now they are, it's like they're all on vacation or they'd be better off if they were all on vacation because they can't make sound arguments. They look like deer in the headlights. But they're relying a lot. The Democrats are relying almost entirely on the activist judges, all Obama and Biden appointees, these activist federal judges who are just overriding and overruling presidential prerogative on a regular basis. Now, this is a central fight for the Trump administration and really for the country, because you're seeing this tested in a variety of ways. If the president of the United States isn't really the CEO of the executive branch, meaning that he can fire people, he can make changes to personnel, then where is, what's the point of the election if they're on autopilot? If Congress gets to say, here's this thing, no one's in charge of it, but we funded it and no one can make any changes to it in the executive branch, it's on some weird autopilot swamp tour. Why do we have elections? What is the purpose of going through the, you know, the billions of dollars spent for this last election cycle? If D.C. runs itself, essentially it's just endless funding from Congress hurdling us over the cliff of fiscal insanity. And anyone who tries to stop it is told, no, you're not allowed to stop it. The system is self aware. The system is Skynet from Terminator and it will destroy us all before you're allowed to do anything to it. This is a big deal. And I'll get into some of the specifics of this here, coming up in just a moment. While violence against the Jewish people continues in Israel and the rest of the Middle east, our Christian brothers and sisters in the region are also under attack. Hundreds of Syrian Christians have been brutally killed in the past week. Entire families, including women and children, are being slaughtered. Israel is the Middle East's only democracy, but it's also the only nation in the region with a growing Christian population. Israeli Christians are free to worship in the Holy Land, but persecution against Christians throughout the Middle east continues to grow. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews stands with Christians in Syria as well as our Christian brothers and sisters throughout the Middle East. IFCJ provides life saving security, essentials and daily necessities such as food, clothing and shelter. You can show your support by going to ifcj.org and donate.

I had mentioned this in the discussion we had with the White House deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly. There's all this reporting out there from various news outlets about Trump invoking the Alien enemies Act of 1798 to carry out deportations to Guantanamo. Let me read you a little bit of this because I read it and I say, sounds like a great idea. This is from CBS News. President Trump is planning to invoke a wartime law known as the Alien enemies Act of 1798 as soon as Friday, meaning today to authorize the summary deportation of some migrants, including to Guantanamo Bay, escalating his government wide immigration crackdown. Multiple U.S. officials familiar with the plan told CBS News the 227-year-old law gives presidents the extraordinary power to order the arrest, detention and deportation of non citizens who are 14 years or older and come from countries staging an invasion or predatory incursion of the US Mr. Trump is expected to cite the 18th century statute to order the swift detention and deportation of suspected members of the Trenda Aragua, a Venezuelan gang with prison origins that his administration has designated a foreign terrorist organization. Officials have made preparations to send suspected gang members to the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, soon after Mr. Trump invokes the Alien Enemies Act. At Mr. Trump's direction, officials have been detaining some migrants awaiting deportation at the naval base, though the holding facilities were left empty earlier this week. Okay. Those subject to the Alien Enemies act would not be allowed to have a court hearing or an asylum interview, as they would be processed under an emergency wartime authority. They would be eligible to be detained and deported with little to no due process under title 50. Sounds great to me. What's the problem? It's a presidential authority. Notice how they have to report this in such a way that this is on the books still. This is on the book still. The president still has this power. Now I want to compare the way that cbs, that's why I wanted to give you the background of that. But also the way CBS, this 18th century statute. Do you think CBS was doing that kind of massaging of the issue when they were using the Logan act as a pretext to go after General Flynn as the incoming Trump national Security adviser? No. Right. The Logan act was suddenly very important to all these anti Trump voices in the media. Oh, the Logan act, Meanwhile, in its 200 plus years of existence, it has never once been used to prosecute anybody successfully and put them in prison. I think there have been a couple of times it was even used to bring charges no one ever convicted. The law is just kind of an old dusty law that no one takes seriously until you have to jam up somebody in Trump world. And then you pretend and then you're James Comey sank to Comey and you use it to spring a trap on the incoming National Security advisor. One of the dirtiest down low things, one of the worst things they did to Trump in that first administration had the FBI director pretend that a phone call between the Russian ambassador and the incoming National Security Advisor for a new administration is some kind of huge national security concern and he's running his own foreign policy. When you look back at that, McComy's a bad guy. He's just a bad guy. And I mean, I know that's not a surprise to you, you know that too. But who does that to be the FBI director and abuse your power in that way? Well, thankfully we've got Cash Patel as director and now Dan Bongino as Deputy Director. And things are going to get cleaned up and be a whole lot better than they were. But the invoking of the Alien enemies Act of 1798, this will be interesting because it is on the books. The president has designated groups that are transnational narco terrorist organizations like Trenda Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization. So if you are part of a foreign terrorist organization, if you were part of Al Qaeda, wouldn't you be able to be deported back to your country of origin under this law? I mean it was used in the past. The government used it to surveil and detain Italian, German and Japanese immigrants in World War II. So the invocation to target migrants from countries with which US Is not actively at war is almost certain to face legal challenges. They're saying, okay, well so that means that a terrorist entity operating in the US because we're not at war with the country that the terrorists are originating from, we can't send them back. We'll see how that one goes I think you're certain to have some of these activist, anti Trump judges shut this down. If in fact they do this. I think they're going to do this. I think they're preparing to do this. I think that they're going to use the Guantanamo facility. And this is one of those things where they should just do it and do as much of it as they can. And you know, we start to get to this place where how long does the executive branch listen to one random federal judge somewhere in overriding policy? You'll note that Trump in the first administration, every time, even when it was the most obvious bad faith judicial overreach, every time there was any kind of a challenge to the administration from a federal judge, you know what they did, you know what Trump did, the tyrant, the authoritarian Hitler said, okay, we'll see you in court. And that's what he completely abided by the system at every turn. Even when the other side was using the system in bad faith to just slow him down. They knew they were going to get overturned on a bunch of the things that they, but. And they did the so called Muslim ban, right? And then they, Trump ended up winning on that. Oh, he can't do that. It wasn't a Muslim ban. But you know, whatever. They, they just don't want him to be able to do anything. And that's the operating authority or that's the operating ideology. And they just abused their authority to that end. That is absolutely what we see happening here. So yeah, the Alien enemies Act of 1798, I think this would be a, a strong move because you have to use the authorities that the government that the executive branch already has to the absolute maximum. If you're going to wait around for Congress to work together on some of this stuff, it's never going to happen. And that's what Democrats want. They want the continued destruction, the erosion and eventual destruction of our national sovereignty through endless violations of our borders, endless violations of our immigration laws. And they don't want to protect the American people and American citizens specifically from the predations of groups like MS.13 and Trends. They won't do it. It's in their power to do it. Just like it was in Joe Biden's power to shut down crossings at the border. Obviously, cuz Donald Trump has done it, but Biden wouldn't use the authority that he had. Right. It's, it's a bit like if you have a sheriff in your town and the sheriff, you know, has the right to arrest people for whatever it may be If a sheriff just chooses not to arrest anybody, you don't need a new law, you just need a new sheriff. Well, there's a new sheriff in town now. His name is Donald Trump. Also want to get to the situation in NATO here for a moment, because the, the. If the Russia, Ukraine war is able to be brought to a ceasefire by Donald Trump, honestly, anytime in his first year, and I mean, maybe even in his first six months in office, it'll feel almost like a miracle because there was nothing, there was not even any movement toward this when Biden was in office. So you will watch, you will see this. I want you to pay close attention to the coverage of this at every step, because ending a war and saving a lot of lives in the process, as I have said to you, should be something that everyone is on board for. Every American should be on board for that. Right. But no, maybe not, because, you know, we have to see about the territory that is going to end up in which side's hands and Slava, Ukraine and all this stuff. Mm. It's really just about. They don't want Trump to have the win, as you know. They don't want Donald Trump to be in a position where he can say, hey, not only am I setting up a booming economy and securing the border, I'm ending wars that Democrats blundered our ally into with Ukraine or at least were unable to stop our ally from getting pulled into. And beyond that, they really just want to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't get the W. That's it. Everything is just about stopping him. On NATO, you'll notice that there are a lot of people who think themselves really erudite on the issue of national security, you know, foreign policy. And they always say that Trump is so, so destructive to NATO. This has been a thing that has been said about him the whole time. Well, no, maybe he just sees a system that isn't operating the way that it should, and he sees member countries that aren't taking the actions that they have agreed to take to uphold their end of the bargain. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had this to say. This is cut four. About what Donald Trump has been able to do in just the last few weeks. Listen, in, I must say, swim 45, you basically, you originated the fact that in Europe, you know, spending, when you take it to aggregate 700 billion more in defense than when you came in office in 2016, 2017. But that was Swim 45. But then when you look at Swim 47, what happened the last couple of weeks is really Staggering. The Europeans committing to a package of 800 billion defense spending. The Germans now potentially up to half a trillion extra in defense spending. And then of course, you had Keir Starmer here, the British Prime Minister and others all committing to much higher defense spending. If you're not there, you need to do more. But I really want to work together with you in a run up to the summit to make sure that we will have a NATO which is really reinvigorated under your leadership. Notice you're not hearing a lot of this in the commentary circles, the New York Times, Washington Post, all the rest of it. Donald Trump, in a matter of weeks has helped bring together an $800 billion defense spending commitment from the, from NATO partners in the European Union, from our European partners in NATO. $800 billion that wasn't going to get spent. Now it's getting spent. He's saying, look, you got to up your spending. It doesn't make Trump a bad guy or Putin's puppet or any of this stuff for him to say that. The Europeans are allies who have promised to have sufficient spending for their own defense. Stop freeloading. Also off of America. Stop saying America, protect us from Russia and do it themselves. Get ready to do it themselves more and more. That is absolutely what should be happening here. You know, if they want to just fund their bloated welfare states, they can do that on somebody else's dime, providing their defense umbrella for them. Ok? They have to step up. He's right. And Trump even said this. He's, look, he wants us for NATO to matter. It has to be strong. NATO can't be, oh, we can't do anything without America because then it's not an alliance. Then it's a dependency. This is cut three play. You have to keep NATO strong. You have to keep it relevant. But the biggest thing we have to worry about right now is what's going on right now. I think the rest is going to take care of itself. I don't see this. This was a fluke. This was something that if we had a competent president, it would not have happened. The man was grossly incompetent. Yeah, NATO has to be strong and Biden was grossly incompetent. And he just would glad hand and have that stupid grin and act like he has some foreign policy knowledge that we all needed, that needed to be imparted upon all of us or something. Joe Biden is an absolute clown. And that's before the dementia kicked in. And his entire record on foreign policy and his record vis a vis our allies. They always say that our allies are so worried about Trump. And then you actually get to sit and talk to some of the allies. They go, no, he's right. We do need European nations to be more capable of defending themselves. The notion that, oh, if we don't keep backing Ukraine forever, Russia is going to roll over all of the, all of the European countries militarily, is going to roll tanks through Germany and Poland, and that's one, insane. It's not going to happen. But two, if that were true, you know what should happen? Europe should get its act together and be able to stop Russia from doing that. They've got hundreds of millions more people and a heck of a lot more money. So, you know, it shouldn't all fall on us. This is just Trump applying common sense to big problems in the world, and it's not common. If you hear the DC commentary, it's crazy stuff. Okay, look, for a lot of people, the end of the week is a time to celebrate with a great meal. You know what I had last night? True story. Carrie and I actually had burger night here. And the burgers are from our friends at Good Ranchers. Absolutely delicious. I'm gonna tell you what I did. I took one Good Rancher's burger, and I put a bunch of sauteed onions, and then I put another Good Ranchers burger on top of it. And then you put a little bit of cheese on top and maybe a little bit more of those sauteed onions. It was delicious. It was like a burger tower of deliciousness. All from Good Ranchers. The meat quality is so high. I'm a big red meat guy. I eat red meat two or three times a week. Yes, I'm on a fitness journey, but red meat's actually good for you. You just got to make sure you check the calories on it. Red meat is delicious. Good Ranchers. Red meat is top, top quality. The steaks, the burgers. Get a box from Good Ranchers. They have all these different variations of it. You can get the box that you want, and you're gonna be like, this is the best protein source for me now. This is who I want. And it's healthy, too. The beef and chicken are made without antibiotics or seed oils. And I'm all about Good Ranchers. I'm getting another box myself soon. Go online to goodranchers.com to choose a box or create your own.

[Buck Sexton]

We're joined by White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly. Anna, welcome to the program. Thanks for being here with us.

[Leah Palmieri]

Thanks so much, Buck. I'm so excited to be here. And that's a great song you had on in the break, by the way. I really enjoyed that.

[Buck Sexton]

Well, thank you very much. We try to have the good tunes, the good tunes flowing. So a lot going on this week and a lot of back and forth already. Let's start with the economy tariff situation. What should everybody know? Because if, you know, when I go to the gym, for example, they have these different channels on. They do have Fox on at the gym down here because I'm in South Florida. But a lot of like the financial channels and it almost feels like they want everybody to panic every time the president speaks the word tariff. What should everyone know about the plan here and where we're trying to go?

[Leah Palmieri]

Yeah. So I will share. There are three goals for these tariffs, Right. Number one is restrictions. So we are helping our domestic industries by pushing these exports, making sure that American companies can send made in America goods all around the world, making sure we're getting revenue from the things we import. And then most importantly is reciprocity. So President Trump, finally, after decades, not just the past four years, especially the past four years, but really decades of unfair trading practices that have long took advantage of American farmers and workers. President Trump is finally saying, look, American farmers, workers, manufacturers deserve a level playing field. So these tariffs are finally making sure that we are leveling the playing field, enacting the same tariffs that these countries around the world have imposed on us for years. This makes common sense and it makes sure that American farmers and workers are able to spend their goods around the world. And by the way, those revenues are paying dividends. We had 10,000 new manufacturing jobs last month. We have positive job growth in the private sector. That's what the American people want. That's what we want in this building is a strong economy in the private sector that is benefiting from a level playing field.

[Buck Sexton]

Finally, what also is, is your, what is the feeling of the president and this White House on how to handle the slew of these judicial universal injunctions that have come down. I told everybody before you came on, Anna, that the Biden administration had fewer of these against and it did some very unconstitutional and just aggressive. And I would offer unlawful things the executive branch, but more in one month for Trump than three years of Biden. Is the strategy here just to take it to the Supreme Court? Does the White House say that there may be other options down the road? What should we know about this?

[Leah Palmieri]

Well, yeah, here's what we know. You're exactly right. There were 15 efforts in February alone by these activist judges to seize the president's power of specifically hiring and firing from the executive branch. We in this building believe, and I think the American people understand, that the president has the authority to exercise the power of the executive branch. That means hiring people, that means firing people. And ultimately that means delivering on the American people's mandate to eliminate wasteful spending, to shrink our federal workers and ultimately make our federal workforce more efficient. That is to the benefit of Americans across the country who benefit from federal services. So, yes, we have these activist judges enacting these 15 efforts to crample down on the president's authority. We believe that is unjust. We believe it is unconstitutional and we will continue to fight back against our efforts to seize the power of the President of the United States to run his own executive branch.

[Buck Sexton]

Or speaking to Deputy White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly and CBS News reported this a day ago. Trump to invoke wartime Alien enemies Act of 1798 to carry out deportations to Guantanamo. What can you tell us about this?

[Leah Palmieri]

Well, I won't get ahead of the president, Buck, but here is what I will say. I know there is a lot of talk in the mainstream media about suddenly they are concerned about mass deportation and the pace of that. Guess what? We actually just found out recently that Biden was fudging his numbers on these deportations. They were arresting aliens and then letting them back into our country. That is a universally unpopular policy. That is part of what helped propel President Trump to victory in November because American people do not want these migrant criminals invading our country. Here's what we do know, Buck. We made it 32,000. Over 32,000 enforcement arrests in the first 50 days of the Trump administration. To put that in perspective, we made 33,000 I did at large arrests in the fiscal year 2024 alone. So I won't get ahead of the president any specific policies that he plans to impose. But we know that the president is delivering on his promise to enact the largest mass deportation of migrant criminals. In American history to stop the invasion. Because, by the way, 14,000 of those we've arrested so far convicted criminals. Almost 10,000 have pending criminal charges. So President Trump is doing what he promised. He is getting justice for innocent Americans like Lake and Riley, like Jocelyn Nungare, whose lives were brutally taken and unjustly taken by migrant criminals who should have never been in this country in the first place.

[Buck Sexton]

Anna, I've seen some early data on this, and it actually comes from the Mexican government side of the border. But we know that official numbers already for illegal migrant crossings are way down. I think 95% plus is where they are. But, you know, in a way that shows that the president is keeping his promise to secure the border and also that the previous administration intentionally allowed the border to be wide open for anybody to cross over. And that thankfully has come to an end. Do we have data yet or can you tell us when we will, though, on the plummeting fentanyl seizures at the border as well? Because I know that there's the government of Mexico has been claiming that fentanyl seizures are also way down on their end of things. Right. So do we have some data on the drug numbers coming down as well?

[Leah Palmieri]

Well, so CBP Customs and Border Patrol regularly puts out these numbers. Unfortunately, I don't have them in front of me, but I will be sure to follow up and make sure that you can share those with our listeners. But I will say, you know, the president has vastly different messaging to your point, about encounters at the southern border. I remember, I'm sure you remember your listeners remember when migrants were coming into the border in early 2021, saying, thank you, Joe Biden, for this open border, for with a stroke of his pen on doing all the border security measures that President Trump took in his first term. President Trump is finally sending the mess to migrant criminals around the world saying, do not come here. He is telling migrant criminals who already are in the country to self support, otherwise we will find you and we will deport you. The messaging is vastly different and I think that is why you see those vastly different numbers. And we're also holding countries like Mexico and Canada accountable for the influx of fentanyl that has come into our country killing Americans. That's part of the tariff goals as well. So all in all, President Trump is finally sending the message after four years of failure under Joe Biden that enough is enough. We will not accept these migrant criminals entering our country killing Americans. We also won't accept this influx of fentanyl that is also destroying families across the country.

[Buck Sexton]

Can you tell us about this news story? I think it was Politico that put it out initially about the clearing out of classified by USAID and also the status of the USAID building. I think you had to do a little cleanup on aisle fake news on that one for Politico and others. What actually happened there?

[Leah Palmieri]

Yeah, so there was a. So as you know, I'm sure your listeners know usaid, that building is soon to be occupied by Customs and Border Patrol, thankfully. So the USAID employees were naturally clearing out the building, vacating the building and undergoing a very normal process to dispose of classified documents. And by the way, as I said in my expost, which I'm sure is what you're pointing out, many of these were courtesy copies. So that means these are documents that originated from other agencies and were sent to USAID by a courtesy. And by the way, I'll add, I want to shout out fake news NBC, they actually reached out to me at 3:15 for their story on this published at 3:16. And then we had to clean up all this fake news that was spreading around and sowing chaos really across the country. But this was a totally normal process meant to dispose of classic copies of classified documents that already existed, by the way, electronically as well in secure computer systems. Total fake news outrage.

[Buck Sexton]

Do you feel like the media is trying to be a little bit less rabid in their anti Trumpism in terms of the media that's covering this White House day in and day out? Have you started to see perhaps just an attempt to be more, if not even handed, at least more professional in how they approach this? Or are things still pretty rough for those who are clearly opposing the president with their coverage?

[Leah Palmieri]

You know, Buck, I don't think they know what to do with themselves because we are having fun. Truly, we are winning every single day. And I think they do acknowledge the fact that President Trump not only won the election by a landslide, but he won the popular vote. He is implementing policies that the American people soundly support. And so they can try, they can push their fake news narratives, try and poke holes in what he's doing. But guess what? The approval is on our side. The American people overwhelmingly support his agenda. They see that he is delivering on the promises he made on the campaign trail to restore our economy, to secure the southern border, to restore our standing on the world stage. This is what the American people want. He is delivering on his promises. And I think the fake news don't know what to do with it.

[Buck Sexton]

It's remarkable how Is it to be right in the center of center of all the action here for a presidency that is already transformational? One month in, I know you're super busy and you say you're having fun. Must be exciting stuff.

[Leah Palmieri]

It is so exciting. And again, we're winning every single day and we're having so much fun. The fake news don't know what they, you know, they don't know how to cover it because they're not used to actually covering a president who actually does things every single day. He is signing more executive orders than any other president at this point in his first or his second term. He is delivering on the promises he made, and it's really fun. I'm not sure if you knew this, but I was involved in the campaign as well, and so I was able to be part of all these promises being made. Watching the enthusiasm among all these Americans across the country who are so excited to finally see change after four years of failure. And it's extremely exciting to be part of the process in really helping correct all the mistakes over the past four years.

[Buck Sexton]

White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly come back again soon. Thank you so much for being here and keep up the great work.

[Leah Palmieri]

Thanks so much. Boss talk soon.

[Buck Sexton]

There's a very telling video that's online, one you want to watch. I was there for the event to witness a prediction of what may come in the way of our financial markets. I want you to watch it this weekend, in fact, if you get the chance. While I might have helped to organize this online video event, it was actually my dad, Mason Sexton Sr. Who made the prediction regarding the financial markets. This is my father's area of expertise. I think you'll find it really interesting and possibly very beneficial. Growing up I grew up in a household where the stock market was a big deal because my dad worked in the markets for decades. He created a name for himself on Wall street by his forecast. The most notable one was calling the crash of 87. His predictions are too numerous to get into here, but he called the crash in 2009 as well. This is a guy who sees what's coming and you can still see his prediction, his forecast for the future. When you just go to this website, it's free to watch. Disruption2025.com Again, free to go watch the prediction and see if you want to take action based on it.

All right, we're closing up shop on Clay and Buck. Was an honor to get to hang with you this week and and cover things solo while Clay was on vacation. Really enjoy getting every day every day. Doing this show is is such a privilege and it's really I love my job. Clay loves his job. We love doing this show. And so thank you for, for being here this week. We've got some exciting news about some new affiliates that have been joining up as well. Wanted to say welcome to all of them. We are very excited to be able to speak to your audiences. There are dozens of them that have joined, so we, I won't name them all right now because off the top of my head that's going to be kind of a long list which is a high class, high class problem. But, you know, this weekend I'm doing something pretty interesting. I'm going to be heading out to, heading out to North Carolina to do some training with my brothers and DJ Shipley, who is a decorated former SEAL Team Six operative who we will be spending some time just going through tactics and all. We're basically showing up saying, dj, teach us as much as you can this weekend. About, about guns, about tactics, about shooting, about marksmanship, you know, about self defense, about room clearing. I mean, you know, whatever we've got time for. We're just showing up ready to go. And so I'll let you, I'll let you know how that is next week when I get a chance to, after I've gotten a chance to see for myself. But it's really, it's fun also to spend some time with the brothers. You know, I have a baby coming in less than a month now and so the weekends where I can just take off with, with the guys with my two brothers and just go and shoot a lot and work on marksmanship and work on those, those basics of firearm skills, it might be a little tougher. I might have a lot more diaper changing and things like that in my future, but that will be a huge blessing and I am looking forward to that too. I will say it is remarkable how hard it is to install these car seats in the back of cars. I don't know how many of you have felt the same way about this. I know a lot of you are parents, a lot of you are grandparents, a lot of you have plenty of kids. But there's got to be a better way. You know, there's got to be an easier way than what we've got going on. You gotta like slide through the. And you got anchors and you got a slide. This, this stuff should be so much easier in my mind than it really is, so. Oh, oh, that's a great idea. Producer Ali is saying, leave me. Talk back baby advice this weekend and we'll get to some of it next week. So on the Talkback app, or rather on the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app, you can send us. Remember, those are like voicemail, so you don't have to if you want to call live on hold. We love our live callers on the phone, but if you don't want to hold, you just want to send in your message, you do that and it goes into us and we all hear it and, and I, I certainly see, see or hear every talk back. We can't get to all of them on the air, but we'll get to as many as we can. So baby advice, by all means, send it my way and I'll let you know how training goes this weekend. Trying to work on my skills. Just, just trying to learn, trying to understand more about, you know, trying to learn from the best, honestly. And that's, that's why we made this weekend happen with DJ Shipley. So we'll tell you about that. And Clay's back with me on Monday. Talk to you then.
