Brian Mudd (continued commentary and quotes)
Watch the trailer on trainer games.com welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Well, there you go. The sounds from Sydney as they ended up bringing in 2026. Happy New Year to you as we are getting ready to count it down stateside. Always one of those oddities on New Year's Eve as we watch most of the rest of the world go before us. You know, there's a lot to celebrate and a heck of a lot more to celebrate than I think even most of Trump's biggest fans fully appreciate. Hey there, Brian Mudd in for Klein. Buck, it is an honor and a pleasure to be here with you. Always is. I am in West Palm beach broadcasting from my home station, wjno. And it's chilly here, chilly here. So I know that in most of the country, especially along the east coast, it is a lot cooler. To the north, Syracuse end up getting like two feet of snow. So, yeah, interesting for a lot of folks. But anyway, just a few miles away from El Presidente where a lot's happened, Right? One of the things that's remarkable, and it's part of the reason why 2025 has been such a successful year in ways in which many Trump supporters haven't even necessarily fully appreciated. The man never stops. The man never stops working. So while a lot of us have kind of been in holiday mode, Trump's been working. So, yeah, he's been at Mar a Lago on Sunday. He had Ukrainian President Zelensky. Then very early in the morning, he was talking to the impaler, he was talking to Putin about the progress with those peace talks. Then Monday rolls around and he's got Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in at Mar a Lago, constant. The man never stops. The rest of us do. And so on that note, it's really easy for us to take for granted so much of the success. And you have the old political question, are you better off than you were four years ago? Well, we don't have to take a look that far back to realize how much better off we are than a year ago. I mean, bottom line, are you better off than you were a year ago? Heck, yeah. If you're the average American living the typical life, you are. And even if you're sitting there going, yeah, but things are still expensive even then, if you're the average person living the typical life, you are better off financially than you were a year ago. And so part of what I'm going to break down on today's show, as I walk you through what Trump promised, you, talk about promises made, promises kept, walk you through what Trump promised and then also the receipts on that, along with a lot of the news that we've got going on right now and which includes the Minnesota fraud situation. On that particular note, coming up at the top of the second hour of the show, Congressman Byron Donalds, he is on the House Oversight Committee. The House Oversight Committee is going to be overseeing Minnesota fraud hearings, including with Governor Walz. I'd be interested to get his perspective on that and also a lot of the legislative successes and what comes next. We do also have a deadline day today for the Obamacare subsidies. We'll be talking about that as well. And the implications, again, the crisis isn't that we have Obamacare subsidies that are expiring today. The crisis is Obamacare itself. And the fix isn't to keep the broken thing going, it's to truly resolve it with a better way forward, which is what's being worked on. Again, we'll discuss we'll also check in with an attorney general to get the perspective on the way things should be handled in Minnesota as well. Florida AG James Uthmeyer will join us coming up at the bottom of the second hour of the show as well. So as we dive in, one of the things I did in reflecting on all of the success and then documenting on all the changes and things that have happened this year, I went back to my opening monologue for this year and the opening monologue that I had that I shared with my audience, the Brian Mud show, by the way, and get the Brian Mud show podcast, where wherever you get your podcasts. Also check me out socially at Brian Mudradio. I ended up sharing this message and I went back and it's like, holy cow. It's pretty incredible because a progress being made in so many of these areas. So I talked about this being our year, that this would be our time as conservatives, as Americans, and started talking about if you'd waited for much of your life hoping for fundamental changes within the way that our federal government operates, like having a heck of a lot Less of it intruding into your life that this year would be your year. So from IRS targeting to debanking and any number of other activities, government less intrusive in your life. Yeah, unless you're an illegal immigrant, no doubt. It has been. Have you been waiting for the death of political correctness and wokeness that this would be your year? Seeing any progress there? Political correctness being put out to pasture in a lot of different places? Wokeness not so cool anymore? If you've been waiting for a time in which the godless, soulless and slanderous legacy news media would become irrelevant, well, this would would be your year. We saw in the election results last year how irrelevant they had actually become. And we were going to have those huge changes this year. And you start to think about all of the massive changes that have taken place in the media landscape. Changes at CBS changes with NBC, where MSNBC is now Ms. Now. And you have the complete divorce from the NBC broadcast network and Ms. Now, even the BBC after their January 6th scandal. You've had a change in leadership there. So the impact has been felt around the world. You're able to this year realize that as hard as it is to get at the truth, you know, it is possible to get what it is that you're looking for in an AI age. It's more complicated. But the sources of information that matter to you have become more relevant during the course of this year. While the GSS legacy media far less talked about if you've wanted the rule of law to be upheld, how frustrated was that? Under the four years of Biden and Team Auto Pen, if you wanted the rule of law to be upheld, this would be your year. If you wanted equal justice under the law, then ultimately this would end up being your year. That if you wanted to seal the border and stop the migrant invasion, that this would be your year. And holy cow. I mean, even those of us who know that Trump would get the job done, did you have any idea he would be so incredibly successful so fast? And that is followed up with if he had wanted the largest deportation operation in American history to remove the record number of illegal immigrants from this country, well, that, that ultimately this would end up being your year. And on the one hand with that you go, okay, well we know that Trump had an enormous amount of success in closing the border, stopping the migrant invasion. Next to no illegal immigrants got aways that are coming over here. The CPP1 home app that was used to fly illegal immigrants into this country has been used only to send them outside of this country once again. But you might take a look at the deportation piece go. Hold on. Well, Trump administration, maybe they, they been thwarted by the courts. They haven't had as much success there as they wanted to. Not at all. Actually, we have had the largest deportation operation in American history. It's played out over 2.6 million that are gone. The difference is for every illegal immigrant that's been deported, you've had about four that have said, you know what, not really thinking that where I want to hang out is Alligator Alcatraz. Not really sure that I want to wait around and see if they're going to go ahead and nab me. So I think I'll, I'll just go ahead and pick up and go back once I came. And that is huge for any number of reasons because every time you have somebody who deports themselves, they save us a heck of a lot of money. There's so many things we can be thankful for to the Biden administration when it comes to illegal immigration. Right. And everything from housing inflation as they took up all the affordable housing jobs. But the hard cost, and aside from the hard cost of, you know, the, the people who would arrive at the southern border and go a essay this where I say asylum and you'd have a beaten down border patrol agent that would go, oh yeah, you're a magic, a word person. Where do you want to go? We can get you set up with an ngo. We'll go ahead and set you up in a five star somewhere nice and comfortable for you maybe Manhattan if you want. Whereas we had all that going on, we have been able to, to curb so much of the abuse and the asylum system by the remain in Mexico policy, by the self deportations. But every one of those self deportations saves us $17,000 as taxpayers. See, one of the many things you'd be thankful for to the Biden administration is how much they cost us every single day. Because for every illegal immigrant, to detain them, to put them in a place like Alligator Alcatraz and then ultimately to fly them elsewhere, ultimately to do all of that cost us about $17,000. So yeah, the self deportations, the most efficient and effective way for any number of reasons for people to go. If you've wanted an end to high end inflation for life to become more affordable, this year, it would be your year. That was one of the messages I had at the onset. Well, you take a look at inflation, are we better off than we were? Heck yeah, we're better off than we were. And Again, I'll break down the specifics on this, but the average person, one of the big issues with inflation, aside from the obvious, is that you just couldn't get ahead because the average wage was not keeping up with inflation, not by a long shot. The average person was consistently doing worse under the Biden years. Not the case this year. If you take a look at the inflation rate, which is lower than it was coming into this year, if you take a look at the average wage growth, well, you see that you got more money at the end of that. So things have gotten better. And of course, we've also had interest rates that have been coming down recently. That'll help for affordability and certainly the tailwind heading into next year. Talked about if you wanted to take advantage of US Energy resources as opposed to being reliant on foreign sources of energy, you know what, this was going to be your year. And what's happened. Record amount of U.S. energy production, less reliance on foreign sources of energy. A big piece of the affordability end has come on energy gas prices lower than they were this time a year ago. Straight across the board, we are seeing progress and it just continues. Talked about if you wanted American companies to return manufacturing to the US Instead of relying on countries like China, you know what, ultimately this, this would be your year. And what have we seen? Did you know that the influence of China is far less than it had been a year ago? Again, I'm going to fill in a lot of these blanks with specifics coming up later in the show. But we actually have made more progress than nothing you probably have even realized while having a whole lot more jobs here as we have had a record amount of investment into the United States. Mentioned that if you wanted lower taxes, including an end to tax on tips, overtime and Social Security, this is your year. And man, is that ever the case. Promises made, promises kept. The taxes on tips on overtime gone. Social Security, 90% plus of people on Social Security not paying any taxes on Social Security anymore that has been delivered. The big thing is a lot of people haven't even realized that benefit because they didn't adjust their withholding. Which is why I keep hearing about record refunds that'll hit by the time you file your taxes. So there is so much more benefit there that can be realized. And by the way, just starting to scratch the surface of all of the progress that has been made during the course of this year. I'll be right back with more. I'm Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck News and politics but also a little comic relief. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Brian Mudd (continued commentary and quotes)
Watch the trailer on trainergames.com and there's a little bit of credibility on that. Right after Trump dropped the mops and you ended up having the end of the nuclear facilities, there's so many different things that have been accomplished this year that it's kind of like, oh, yeah, kind of forgot because the president never stopped working. And he has had success against all 20 points of his plan to save America, the plan that he ran on last year, the plan that he's acted on daily and that he continues to straight through the holidays. Because the man, unlike the rest of us, never takes a day off. Never takes a day off. Hey, it's Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck. Starting to just kind of walk you through what the expectations were coming into this year. I'm going to end up filling in the blanks with the receipts, the specifics of the success that Trump has had on every single one of these points throughout the course of this year. I mentioned that the tax policy is where we left off. He delivered on that. You know, if you wanted a president who will defend our constitution and our constitutional rights, this ultimately was to be our year. If you wanted an end to foreign wars and conflicts that entangle and un offered and are what paid for by the US Paid for by us that this would be your year. Holy cow. Have we had incredible success there? The eight different wars that Trump has put an end to. How many presidents, how many administrations said. And into Iran and Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump actually did it. And now as Iran is threatening once again, he's letting them know that they're on notice. Right. So this is all part of what has been accomplished that makes the world around us a little bit better every single day, but also that is delivering on the promises that he's made, the promises that he continues to keep. And so when we take a look at what Trump is accomplished this year, it's probably a lot more than even you knew we're going to continue next. Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. On the front lines of truth.

It was pretty late by the time we finished by 2:30 in Russia. 2:30 in the morning, and we had a very good talk. We spoke at 8 o' clock in the morning hour time. And it was a very productive time.
- [23:21]
Brian Mudd (continued commentary and quotes)
Yeah, that was President Trump after the meeting with Zelensky and then the subsequent conversation with the impaler with Vladimir Putin in Russia. And that's what he was doing coming out of the weekend. While a lot of us are kind of like in holiday mode and relaxed and looking forward to the new year, maybe having a good time today, tonight, Trump's trying to bring peace to Ukraine. And the man just never stops. He works on Christmas Day, he works on New Year's Eve, he'll work on a New Year's Day. Every single day that Donald Trump is President of the United States, the world is actually a safer place. Hey there, Brian Mudd in for clean buck. Happy New Year. Unless you're in New York City, in which case you're getting ready to have Mom Donnie sworn in. So good luck to you. Probably be more appropriate. I left off as I'm talking about just the expectations I had coming into this year based upon President Trump's promises for this second term. And it's remarkable how much progress has been made. And I'm going to deliver these specific receipts for all this later in the show. I've got all the analytics on these items I'm covering, but just rhetorically, kind of thinking our way through what Trump promised and the progress we've made. I ended the first half hour of the show by saying, if you've wanted an end to foreign wars and conflicts that entangle in an often are paid for by the US this is your year. Even the one that's proven to be harder than what Trump envisioned, it would be one that he thought he could end quicker, which is the Russian Ukrainian war. Even there, we're not getting hosed, we're not getting ripped off anymore. What did we used to do? We would just give Ukraine anything like, hey, we want hundreds of billions of dollars. Hey, we want all these weapons. Hey, we just. And we would just give it. So what has Trump done? Well, he said, well, you have some valuable resources in Ukraine. How about we take some of those in return for our generosity? And NATO, as Biden would have said, NATO, how about you actually buy weapons from us that are supplied to Ukraine? That way the American taxpayer isn't hosed on the hook for everything. So even in the strategic support of Ukraine, we've done it in a way in which you're better off, even if you don't necessarily notice it day to Day, which has really been the theme with President Trump, how much success he's had that is easy to take for granted within the first 11 plus months of his administration. So kind of continuing with this thing, I mentioned coming into this year that if you wanted an end to the weaponization of the federal government against select groups of people, that this would be your year. Certainly don't have the kind of weaponized government that we used to have in this country. Again, unless you are illegal immigrant, you don't have to worry if you're a conservative about the targeting. You don't have to worry about being debanked. You've seen a 180 done by most financial institutions that travel down the DEI path. Mention that if you wanted an end to the migrant crime and drug epidemic, that this would be your year. There are so many different things that even as we're talking about combating the border crisis, the largest deportation operation inside of 11 months that this country, this world, has ever seen, the crime rate that has declined. And again, I'm going to break it down, but we've seen double digit declines in crime. No surprise, because the average non citizen had become over nine times more likely to commit a crime than you or me under the Biden administration because as Trump might say, the bad hombres were often among those that were let into this country. The drug epidemic, combating narco terrorists, the boats that go boom, and all of that, we've actually disrupted in recent months 30% of all drug running activity into the United States. Pretty big deal. Not something that's really talked about, mentioned that if you wanted to see safety restored to our large cities, that this would be your year. Well, look, we know that everything is not a roaring success and a lot of it has to do with, you know, not being able to help people that don't want to help themselves. But even in cases where there has been strong resistance like D.C. look at the progress that's been made and look at the progress that could be made in places like Chicago if they ever allowed the opportunity of Trump's assistance to come through. It's fascinating to me where you have these leaders in these large cities and they're like, you know what? We like our high rate of crime. And if you would actually have people that would support politicians like, yeah, you know what? I'm good with high rates of crime realm. It's just great, fantastic, especially this time of year. Mentioned coming into this year that if you wanted to see our military rebuilt without wokeness, that this would be your Year. Well, we certainly have seen that not only is there no DEI within the military anymore, you don't have all of the, the, the tranny soldiers that are being welcomed in anymore. You know, the people that will end up getting into the military because they're like, hey, if I get in there and if I wake up one morning and I'm a dude and who feels like a lady, then I just go into the military and the American taxpayer will go ahead and pay for my, my conversion. Good times. Yeah, stuff's not happening anymore. Mention that if you wanted to see the integrity of the US dollar preserved around the world, that this would be your year. And a lot of people take a look, even right now as we're closing out 2025 at the price of gold and silver, record highs and thinking, you know what, there is a bigger issue looming here with the US dollar. Look, we've got over 38 and a half trillion dollars in debt. Things are not sunshine and lollipops that way. Not going to pretend that it is, but did you know that the US dollar is actually a stronger reserve currency today than it was a year ago? Today you have 5% more US dollars that are backing up foreign governments than a year ago. So it's actually in a stronger position that way in terms of world influence. A lot of the money, by the way, just speaking purely of the financial markets that's rolled into gold and silver, a lot of that has actually come from cryptocurrencies. If you take a look the performance cryptos, they're actually negative for the year. And that has been a lot of what's been overlooked mentioned that if you wanted to see Medicare and Social Security strengthen so that they're not soon insolvent, this would ultimately be your year. There's a lot of work that obviously has to happen there, including, you know, if we're ever going to solve the Medicare and Social Security crisis, there's going to need to be a lot of reform passed by Congress on that. But fraud, waste, fraud and abuse, there's been an awful lot of it that has been shut down in the Medicare and Social Security programs. And again, I'll bring you these specific receipts on that in just a bit. You might remember Doge and Elon in particular diving into that very early on in the administration and had a huge amount of success with it. I mentioned that if you want wanted an end to federal regulations that limit consumer choice and drive up prices, but this would be your year. You have had hundreds of federal regulations cut. If you want reform in education, including the end of funding, critical race theory, gender fluidity and like woke agendas through the U.S. department of Education that this would be your year. And in fact, if you wanted an end to the U.S. department of Education altogether, this very well might end up being your year. Well, a couple things about that. No department has been cut more than the US Department of Education. Over half of those that used to work in it no longer there. You've had a lot of what they do that's been outsourced to other federal agencies. You certainly don't have critical race theory, gender fluidity and all that kind of nonsense that is being pushed through the US Department of Education and funded by it. Anymore mention that if you want an end to boys pretending to be girls and playing their sports, that this would be your year. We certainly have seen a lot of influence there, including the decision by the NCAA to say, yeah, I don't think we're going to let dudes who pretend to be women play competitively with women pretending to be women. Mentioned that if you wanted an end to antisemitism and related hate being tolerated on college campuses, this would be your year. The administration made enormous progress that way. We've seen turnover at notable institutions. You've seen funding that's been. There has been a great deal of progress. And if you want greater federal election integrity measures, ultimately this would be your year. Probably don't even realize in this awful election year that there were several measures that were passed to ensure that's the case. I'll bring you the specifics a little bit later in the show. And ultimately, if you want the United States to be more prosperous and more successful than ever before, that this would be your year. The expectations laid out coming into this year and we. Where did that all come from? Well, it did come, as I mentioned, from Trump's 20 point plan to save America. And it's easy to forget what it actually was. So let's hit the 20 point plan just real quick as he outlined it, Trump's plan to save America was this coming into this year, to seal the border and stop the migrant invasion. Has it happened?

Public Investing Ad
Yeah.
- [33:20]
Brian Mudd (continued commentary and quotes)
Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history. Has it happened? Yes, it has. End inflation and make America affordable again. Okay. Ending inflation. You're never going to do that. Is it better than it was before? Yes. Is it? Is America affordable again? We got work to do. But it is more affordable. And again, you're making progress. Importantly, the next one, make America the dominant energy producer in the world by Far has it happened. Yes. U.S. energy production at record low levels. The fifth of Trump's 20 point plan to save America, Stop outsourcing and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower. There's been significant progress that way. Of course, his favorite word is tariff, as he has been fast to remind us all throughout the year, including in his primetime address not too long ago. And that has had an enormous amount of success in investment and expanded manufacturing in the United States. The large tax cuts for workers and no tax on tips. President certainly delivered on that. Defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms. Yep. Yeah, he's followed through on these things. To Prevent World War 3, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle east, build a great Iron Dome missile defense shield over our entire country. All made in America. Again, the eighth point on Trump's 20 point plan to save America, has he prevented World War three? Heck, yeah, he has. I mean, that was pretty much the case when he ended up winning the election. Lord knows where we would be otherwise, because Trump has always had credibility on this. Remember, you know, I always think back to his first administration where he had the left that would freak out and go, oh, my gosh, Trump is going to have the nuclear codes. And you know what, Mike? You know what? Even if you thought that Trump was the crazy man with the nuclear codes, is that going to make you more or less likely to provocate and be a bad actor around the world? And then secondly, what we saw is that he brought peace to the world and stability that was only undone by Biden and his weakness. And a lot of that credibility came down to what he ran on, which was back then, ISIS with its caliphate. He said that if he became president that he would end it. And what did he do? He bombed the blank out of isis. The caliphate ended, they went away, and we didn't have to worry about ISIS again until, well, Biden was president. And his weakness, that has alone just made Trump a peaceful figure on the world stage. Restore peace in so many places, the eight different countries that he's restored peace to, as he continues to work and seemingly is getting somewhat close with Russia and Ukraine, by the way. Also, you do have something in motion for the Iron Dome missile defense shield that he's talking about. Kind of his version of sdi, the updated version. Of course, everybody made fun of Reagan for that back in the 80s until it actually was an enormous success. The ninth point in Trump's 20 point plan end the weaponization of government against the American people. It's happened. Attempt stopped the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, lock up violent offenders. Has that happened? Heck yeah, it has. The 11th rebuild our cities, including Washington D.C. making them safe, clean and beautiful again. Well, there's been a lot of that specific to Washington D.C. and again, if it weren't for the leadership of many of these cities, challenging and activist judges that have not allowed the Trump administration do everything they want to, there'd be even more progress and more success to strengthen and modernize our military, making it without question the world's strongest and most powerful in the world. Well, he's taken a lot of action to strengthen and modernize the military. By the way, you've had Pete Higsett war secretaries done that as well, saying, look, we can't have fatty, fatty fatos and the military anymore. Generals all the way up to the general level. They have to be in shape. They have to be ready for war. 13. Keep the US dollar as the world's reserve currency it is. And it's stronger, as I mentioned, than it was a year ago. Today the 14th to fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age. That has been the case. And again, this is all within just 11 plus months. I've got the final five for you and then we're going to take a look at the receipts and it's an incredible story of success that we've had.

Brian Mudd (continued commentary and quotes)
Front war that was foisted on us as the most powerful country in the Middle East. But part of that is the is the this tremendous alliance that we have with the United States under President Trump. Makes a little bit of a difference, doesn't it? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after having met with President Trump on Monday on Fox News, sharing his thoughts and where would Israel be? Where would any of the remaining hostages be? Where would Hamas be if Joe Biden were still President, United States or Kamala Harris? As the case happens to be, where would any of us? One of the things that is very easy to do is just take for granted all the success we've had and I've been walking through the the 20 point Trump plan. The remaining points on it. Cancel the electric vehicle mandate. Cut costly and burdensome regulations. That happen. Yeah. Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology. That happened. Yeah. Keep men out of women's sports. That happened. Deport pro Hamas radicals. That happened. Secure our elections. He took action there. I'll share with you. Unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success. There's a lot that we are working on, a lot that still needs to be done the first 11 plus months. One of the most remarkable moments in American history and you've lived it. Just so easy to take for grant for granted all these successes success that President Trump has had. Coming up we're going to be joined by Congressman Byron Donalds the Minnesota fraud scandal that is next. Spry mud in for Clay and Buck. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of Truth.
