Welcome, everybody. Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show kicks off right now. Thanks for being with us from all across this great land. Right as we're speaking to you, of course, we are live. President Trump is holding a cabinet meeting. We were watching it right until the moment we had to come on the air. We are monitoring for the most important moments and we'll bring you those. He's continuing to talk about a range of subjects of the obvious President addressing the terrible floods in the hill country of Texas, also discussing matters having to do with the economy and the border, specifically on the economy that we've already seen 100 billion come in of revenue to the treasury as a result of the Trump tariffs, the tariffs that we were told would raise the price on everything, which does not seem to have happened at all. And Scott Besant, his Treasury secretary, went on to say it is expected soon that there will be more like $300 billion that will come in to the treasury as a result of the Trump tariffs. $300 billion, a lot of money even for this federal government. That's, you know, 100 billion here, 100 billion there. This is real money. So I think it's interesting to see how the evolution of the conversation around tariffs is moving so rapidly to not only are tariffs failing to do the price gouging, price increases that we were told, but actually bringing money into the Treasury Department. So I think that's particularly interesting. We've also got some fantastic guests today. Just to give you a heads up about that. The energy secretary, Chris Wright will be with us. Let's talk about what mega make energy great again. How about that? We're going to talk about energy and how this administration is all systems go on tapping into the incredible resources that this nation has more so than ever and getting rid of the red tape and getting rid of the nonsense and getting rid of the green, green new scam nonsense. So we'll discuss that with him. We've also got Selena Zito, author and journalist. She'll be with us. She's got a new book out talking about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. We'll discuss with her what her research found. But, Clay, I want to start with this. Some very interesting things going on in the immigration realm. First of all, you've got Mayor Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, very upset and telling members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they need to stop what they're doing. And by that, she means stop enforcing the law. They had an operation where they were going through a park in Los Angeles and they were picking up illegals. The details of this I'm still reading up on specifically how many people, how many people they took into custody. But they had this operation where they were going to get illegals. And the mayor of Los Angeles shows up and says that this needs to stop. This is her. This is at MacArthur park as federal agents are raiding the area. This is cut for. Listen to this. Any comment, Mayor Bass?
