Buck Sexton (2:37)

Welcome everybody, to the Friday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show. You'll only be hearing my voice Today though, because Mr. Clay is at the FIFA thing with Trump and all of the, the fancy people in D.C. so I am going to be handling the show here. If Clay wants to like text or call in at some, he will let us know how it's going. I actually like soccer. I know many of you are laughing at that, but I like soccer. But I do not know about a bracket. I'm not going to the bracket thing because people don't think of me as a sports guy in that sense. So, yeah, that's where that is. So Clay will be back with us, of course, on Monday. And in the meantime, we got a lot of news, my friends. Oh, I've also got some fantastic guests lined up. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma, second hour, we'll talk to him about the narco boats, the blowing up of the narco boats, about Venezuela and some other things that will come to mind. Isabel Brown, conservative commentator, she was on, she's, she's one of the young guns, you know, she's, she's an up and coming. You'll be seeing more and more of her. Very talented young lady. She was on CNN and dueling with the CNN.

Buck Sexton (3:53)

Communists quite well, Quite well. So we'll talk to her about what that was like. She was on set with them. So that's always, I don't think I ever told you guys this. I might have, but after I've been a CNN commentator for a couple of years and they, this was back in 20, they, I couldn't do it. Once Trump won the election, I was like, I can't work at CNN anymore because, or work for CNN in any capacity because I realized they had gone completely insane. It is hard for anyone to understand now without having experienced it how much CNN internally hated Trump after that first election and how just they, they were all crying like constantly. And I actually mean crying. I don't mean that metaphorically. They were, there was just sadness all over the building. And I was like, I can't, these people are out of their minds. I can't be the conservative that they bring because they weren't even gonna use me anymore. You know, they wouldn't let me talk because I would smoke all the fools that they have on tv. But I remember I walked into the CNN building and Jeff Zucker and I walked in because a friend of mine had asked me to come and, and check out her show on hln. Believe it or not? I said, yeah, sure. So I went there and I bumped into Jeff Zucker, who was the head of CNN in the lobby. He just kind of looked at me and he's like, what are you doing here? I was like, oh man. I was like, am I banned? Clay is officially banned. I was this close to being banned because they, they, they wanted to keep me around. I said, absolutely not. No interest. I'd rather not have a job in television than continue to work at cnn. So we'll talk to Isabel Brown about that. Oh, and then Steve Hilton, who is running for governor of California. We'll discuss with him in the third hour of the program. Here's his premise. You think the fraud in Minneapolis from the Somali community is bad? Just wait till you look under the hood in California. So we shall have that discussion with him. He thinks it's worse. Well, it's certainly bigger, I would think, because it's California. Right. But he'll tell us. He'll make his case as he does. And then we have CNN back again here in our sights. CNN's Jake Tapper. As we know, there was an identification made of the pipe bombing suspect and there's going to be a lot of conversation out, who is this guy? What was he doing? Why did it take four years to four plus years to find him?

Buck Sexton (6:24)

What really was the situation here? This is how they reported on it over at cnn. This is Jake Tapper. Play Cliff. After nearly five years of investigation, the FBI finally announced that they had a suspect. A suspect accused of planting pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters the night before the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. Brian Cole Jr. A 30 year old white man from the D.C. suburbs, is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction.

Buck Sexton (6:59)

Hear that? You catch that in there. He described him as a 30 year old white man. Now I know this is radio, but you could go to clayandbuck.com I'm sure we could put the photo up there so everyone could see. Or you just, you know, if you go to any, any news headline about this, it's definitely not a white guy. And I think when he said it, actually there was a photo on the screen too. It's definitely not a white guy. Um, but this is what was interesting to me about this. We're gonna get more into this. This guy's obviously a loon and there's, there's now different stories about, you know, who he supported and what he likes and all this other stuff. And as we know, how much Reporting there is on this is going to be a pure function of how, at some networks of how useful it is or not useful to Democrats. But the fact that it took as much time as it did, I think alone indicates that there was a lack of focus on it because there was at least a concern that it would not be from the Biden powers that be. There was a concern that it would not be additive to the narrative. Here is the former deputy FBI director and deep state extraordinaire individual Andrew McKay. Remember he Trump fired him and he lost his pension. I think then he got it back and now he's a contributor on tv. This is the guy who is a real scumbag. Very odd. It's, it's unfortunate when you think back to some of the people who have had these jobs because it tarnishes the institution. It's one thing when you have somebody who's not great at the job, it's another thing when you have somebody who's just not a good person, not an like James Comey, not an ethical, honest.

Buck Sexton (8:49)

Straight up individual. And that's certainly the case with Andrew McCabe. And here he is, of course, over at what was this, MSNBC or cnn? I keep saying msnbc. They had to change the name. It's Ms. Now because I'm sure NBC no longer wanted to be affiliated with the lunacy. The NBC News Department wanted to continue their propaganda unburdened by what has been over at MSNBC. Here is Andrew McCabe, formerly of the FBI. Oh, CNN here, play two. It's really hard for me to believe, Casey, that, that it was ignored over the last many years. I think Evans characterized it well, you, you bring in a new team to look at the evidence you have in a different way, to maybe see things that your investigators who've been beating their heads on this stuff for years, haven't seen. But ultimately what, what you have here is an incredibly detailed data collection. And I'm sure data was collected before this new, you know, refresh took place. Let's remember it took the FBI 18 years to find the Unabomber right after his first bomb in 1978. So these are tough cases and sometimes take a long time.

Buck Sexton (10:03)

Any of you buying that was this, this guy was on video in our nation's capital outside the RNC with a pipe bomb. We had him on video. Right. I mean, this is also in an era of ping cell phones, which they used to get him. It's always, people don't realize your cell phone is tracking you everywhere, whether, you know it or not, but they use ping cell phones and receipts of what he bought. But I don't buy at all that this was something that they were trying really hard to figure out. And only in addition to the work already done to this FBI. No, I think that there was a renewed focus on it, but I think that the primary focus along regardless, by the way, of whatever this guy's ideology, as we look deeper into it turns out to be.

Buck Sexton (10:53)

But it seems to me very clear that there was a renewed focus on this case. And so that's why they were able to bring it to this conclusion of the arrest. And the alleged perpetrator of these attacks is now in custody. Oh, we got Senator, Senator Mark Warner here. This is also interesting, Senator Mark Warner saying that the DOJ is picking and choosing facts. Listen to this play for looking at this crowd doing a victory lap when all the senior FBI officials across all key divisions have been fired for political purposes. When in some field offices up to 45% of the FBI officers who were doing, doing things like counter espionage and cyber have been assigned to do immigration cases. It's a little rich that they're saying that America is safer. How much earlier could we have caught this guy if resources hadn't been diverted? And I hope it would also remind folks that on January 6th, I was here at the Capitol on January 6th. It was an ugly, awful day. And this administration and this president basically pardoned all the perpetrators. You know, it's the, that kind of picking and choosing a facts from this crowd that makes me a little bit crazy.

Buck Sexton (12:04)

There meant there might have been a time when you'd hear something like that from a Democrat United States Senator and you'd say, hmm, you know, he's approaching this in good faith. I should really hear him out. No, we all, we all know how they've played the game. We've saw, we saw what was done with the FBI. We lived through the Russia collusion hoax. We lived through the absurd prosecutions of Donald Trump, including for a bookkeeping.

Buck Sexton (12:27)

Issue. I'm not even, it's not even, didn't even do anything wrong. That's the craziest part about the New York case against Trump was that it's not even that they magnified wrongdoing. They manufactured wrongdoing. They manufactured it. And by the way, manufacturing delusion. Pre sale available now. Fantastic book. Let's take it to number one, everybody. Fantastic book written by yours truly, Mr. Buck Sexton, on mass delusion and how you make it happen and how you make people crazy. So you can then mobilize them like a whole bunch of puppets to go do whatever you want. Totalitarian regimes do it. Democrats do it. There's the book. Go get it. Manufacturing Delusion, available wherever fine books are sold.

Buck Sexton (13:12)

But, you know, they manufactured the case against Trump entirely in New York. And that, my friends.

Buck Sexton (13:20)

Has done tremendous damage to our faith in the justice system. That has changed the way that we can even view not only the FBI and.

Buck Sexton (13:30)

The U.S. attorneys, things like that, but somebody at the level of the state attorney general in New York. So it's, it's a mess. And it's a mess that we have to continue to be very clear in our efforts to clean it up. We have to do what is necessary here. And I think that the more clarity we have on this, the better. The more clarity we have on the situation of not just the pipe bomber, but also what else was done within this FBI. What were the priorities of this FBI? We shall absolutely discuss this. By the way, a couple of things on the legal front, just some breaking news items I wanted to put on your radar. Appeals court rules. Trump can continue the national guard deployment in D.C. that's, that's important. 1. And.

Buck Sexton (14:22)

The Supreme Court has said that Texas can use the redistrict redistricting map for congressional seats there. That, of course, Democrats said was racially discriminatory. By that, they just mean did not advantage Democrats. So those are two, those are two wins for the Trump administration and for the good guys. So put that out there. Good stuff. All right. The ifcj, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, is very busy this month. They've deployed people and resources in Ukraine paying attention to members of the Jewish faith who desperately need assistance with heating bills, food provision and medical attention. For Ukrainian residents like 85 year old Maria, a Jewish woman living in Ukraine, that's heartwarming news. She's one of the many Ukrainian citizens in need of food, medicine and assistance with heating bills. Today. Many of the nonprofit organizations that race into Ukraine have moved on, but not the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews or the ifcj. They're still here. The IFCJ has continued to do what they can to help the Jewish faith in Ukraine, particularly elderly. Please to rush your gift of $25. That would really help with these efforts.

Buck Sexton (18:26)

Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. Okay, so I've got some, some updates here on this, this individual.

Buck Sexton (18:40)

The pipe bomber guy. They are reporting now. Let me see who this is.

Buck Sexton (18:48)

There are reports out there trying to make sure that I source this properly that the pipe bomber may have been upset about the 2020 election and viewed it as stolen. So that I'm trying to find. I'm seeing this being shared by people who generally know what they're talking about. But I do not yet have clear sourcing on this. So I'm going to. Guys, help me track this down. That is certainly flying around the. This is the thing with X. Now all the newsrooms are trying to catch up to X in real time and I think on Ms. Now I was just talking about Ms. Now they are already reporting on this where they're saying that this guy was upset about a stolen election and that that went to his motivation could be the case. If it is, if that is confirmed, I'll report it as confirmed here. But that is making, making the rounds right now. A lot of you are going to say, no way. This is, you know, it's false flag. I'm just telling you right now there's stories coming out here or there are people coming out with those allegations. We are, we are here. Or I should say with those bits of analysis that this could have been a, a guy who at least ostensibly was of the right. He's a black guy, 30 years old. We know he lived with his family. I think he worked for the family business. I mean, lived with his parents. Those are the things that are confirmed. We'll continue to chase down where this goes on motivation. As I was saying before, before I even saw this.

Buck Sexton (20:37)

There, I think was a desire to let this case grow stale just because there was always in the minds of the FBI at the time, there's always the possibility that this wasn't going to come out. This guy could have been a leftist, could have been a false flag, whatever it is. And they were busy chasing down grandmas who were there on January 6th the next day. Here is the Attorney General, current Attorney General, making exactly that case. Play Cut three.

Trainer Games Narrator (21:04)

This case languished. It sat there for four years collecting dust. No one did anything to solve this. And right when Kash Patel and Dan Bongino came in, Dan said to me, Dan said to all of us, I'm going to solve this case. He put a new Team on it, working with Jeanine Pirro, our U.S. attorney, with Todd Blanche, with all of our attorneys at Main Justice. A new team gathered on this case. Old evidence, new people, great police work. That's all it is. Good old fashioned police work. And it solved a case right from where I'm sitting. This bomb was planted at the rnc, a pipe bomb at the dnc. They were real. Thank goodness they didn't deton. Both bombs were real.

Buck Sexton (21:50)

So we had. It was live ordinance, by the way. I think that's also where these were not dud or dummy bombs. These bombs could have gone off and could have killed people or maimed people. So it's a very serious crime what was done here. And if some maniac thought that in some way he was helping the right by doing this, he's a moron who should pay the full price under statute, under the law, if that is in fact the case, then he's an, then he's an idiot and he hurt everything that he thought that he was, you know, standing for or whatever. And I'm still, to be clear, I'm just glad they found the guy who did it. Allegedly, allegedly. But I'm glad that they found the pipe bomber. They should have found this guy much faster. And this administration, this FBI wanted to close this case and they did. So there you have it. There was a lot of high fiving yesterday at the press conference of each other, probably more than was necessary. But that's, I don't want to quibble. I do think though that bringing this to the conclusion was absolutely the right thing and the FBI deserves credit for it. And directors Patel and Bongino deserve credit, as does AG Pam Bondi. So there we have. As I get more details on this, I'll bring them to you. But at least right now there's words being spread that this guy was angry about the 2020 election. Whether you, you know, whether you take that or not, we'll get into it. Holiday season activity is a very good test of how much energy you have these days.

And Trump is getting the fifth FIFA prize for peace, which I will tell you, I did not know the FIFA peace Prize. I did not know this was a thing. This is at the Kennedy center in Washington, D.C. you know what? Let's join this live for a second, everybody. Everyone's going live on this one. We'll go live on it for a second.

Donald Trump (24:45)

Let's hear honors of my life and beyond awards. Johnny and I were discussing this. We saved millions and millions of lives. The Congo as an example, over 10 million people killed. And it was heading for another 10 million very quickly. And it just, you know, the fact that we could do that, India, Pakistan, so many different wars that we're able to end in some cases a little bit before they started, just right before they started. It was going to be late, but we got them done. And it's such an honor to be with Johnny. I've known Johnny for so long. He's done such an incredible job. And I have to tell you, you've set new records on ticket sales. And not to bring that up because we don't want to bring a thing like that up right now, but it's an awfully nice tribute to you and to the game of football, or as we call it, soccer, but football. And that is an amazing thing. The numbers are beyond any numbers that anybody, even beyond what Johnny thought was possible. I want to thank, by the way, my family, my great first lady, Melania, you're right here and thank you very much.

Donald Trump (26:00)

And I think you're going to have an event the likes of which maybe the world has never seen based on the enthusiasm that I've seen. I have never seen anything like it. We've had a tremendous relationship, working relationship with Canada. We have our prime minister of Canada there, and we have our president of Mexico, and we've worked closely with those two countries, and the coordination and friendship and relationship has been outstanding. And I want to thank you both very much and your countries very much. But most importantly, I just want to thank everybody. The world is a safer place now. The United States one year ago was not doing too well, and now I have to say, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world, that we're going to keep it that way. Thank you all. Thank you. Have a great time. And Johnny, a tremendous honor.

Buck Sexton (26:48)

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, President. There we go. President Trump. That was perfect timing, coming right back there and able to just. It's like I was able to hand the mic off to the president himself. So he just got his. The first ever FIFA Peace Prize. I didn't. Well, that's why I didn't know it was a thing. It wasn't a thing until now. So that makes more sense.

Buck Sexton (27:11)

Now, of course, you're going to have some in the commentariat who will raise the. Why. Why not a Nobel? Why not a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump, given the negotiated end of different conflicts that he's been involved in? And then compare that to Nobel recipients in the past of the Peace Prize specifically, and you'd say to yourself, didn't Obama. Obama got the. I know he got a Nobel, but it was. Yeah, it was the Peace Prize. I guess that's the one they give to people that's the most like, yeah, we like him. We like Obama. So he gets a Nobel Peace Prize. Did he do anything? No, but he's Obama, so he gets one. That I think more than anything else, really undermined it. I don't know how much people particularly care about this. We're moving away from an era where those sorts of garnishes on your resume, even as a global statesman, eh? I think it's a little bit of who cares? I think what matters is what you do and the good that you do and the lives that are saved. If you're in a position like President Trump and the.

Buck Sexton (28:20)

American strength that you put on display and all the benefits of that for we the American people. I'm not really an awards guy as a general rule, you know, I think we have entered in everybody gets a trophy era, to the point where trophies. What is it? What does it even really mean? I don't know. Look, if some of you have a big trophy from, you know, your local golf club in the, in the cabinet or in your. In your man Cave or whatever, that's cool, that's fine. But I just tend to not be somebody who is big on awards. You know, I think the award is the result of the reality. Right. If it's in business, it's obviously the financial success that you have from it. If it's in life, it's, you get to live a great life. I mean, that is the reward, right? So anyway, that's going on there. So I don't even know if Trump should.

Buck Sexton (29:13)

He. He wants a Nobel Peace Prize because he's Trump and there'd be something, I think he's completely deserving of it. But I think there's something that would also be, it would just be funny, wouldn't it, if, if that point Trump got the noble or if at some point Trump got the Nobel Peace Prize after all of the things that the establishment, in a sense, it would be the ultimate defeat of the. Or an ultimate defeat of the globalist establishment that has hated Trump all along. That really their most prized thing that they confer, like that's why Obama got it. Oh, the global elites. Obama is amazing. Well, turns out, not amazing, not amazing for world peace at all. If you go back to the Obama administration on foreign policy, it was a disaster. Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, good on the list. Horrible everywhere. The beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. By the way, Obama didn't want to do too much, didn't want to upset the Russians at a time when maybe he could have really thrown a brush back pitch to get the Russians to back off. Nope. Obama was horrible. Oh, also way too friendly with all the worst socialist left wing maniacs all across Latin America. By the way, I've got a deep dive coming out for you this weekend on the, on the Buck Brief, which the podcast part of the Clay and Buck Podcast network on Venezuela. I just spent 15 minutes just riffing on everything that I think you need to know about Venezuela for the last 15 years. And 15 minutes, basically that'll be in the playing Buck podcast network right after the show today. So go check that out because you need to know how crazy there's a reason there's a $50 million bounty on this guy's head. He's essentially Pablo Escobar, but he's the president of a country that has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. But he's, he's a, he's a drug kingpin. This is why we're hitting these boats. And Venezuela is so upset about it and all the things that you see going on. So. And also how do we get to this point? Hyperinflation, the criminality, everything. If you gave me 15 minutes to listen over this weekend, great thing to check out while you're driving around or you're making dinner or cleaning up the yard with your, you know, headphones in, whatever it is. I think you really enjoy that Buck Brief podcast. Old school. For those of you who are original Saturday Squad, you'll remember some of the national security de dives we used to do. But on Venezuela, I think people need to really know because we'll talk to Senator Mark Wayne Woolen about this in a little bit. Things are, things are heating up, obviously heating up a lot on those boats that are getting blown up. Another one happened just last night. Pete Hegseth calling out that this is going to continue on.

Buck Sexton (31:59)

That they're not going to back off of hitting these narco boats. Not one bit, not one inch. So that to me is, is interesting. All right, so something else, and I'm speaking about the drug boat strikes here. Tom Cotton, who was a veteran and obviously a senator, he has spoken out now that there have been these closed door classified briefings. He's spoken out about what has happened here. I want to give you both of the key, this is cut 7 and 8 team, both of the key takeaways from Senator Cotton about these strikes and specifically the allegation. Be very clear about this, the allegation that there was a war crime committed here by the Trump administration, more specifically by Secretary of War Hegset. That's what the media has been insinuating, if not just outright. No, they've been alleging it. They've definitely been alleging war crime. Who's responsible for it in the chain of command that, you know, they can kind of pick and choose a little more of where they're putting their, where they're putting their ire. But this is the senator's response on it. This is cut 7 play it. Was there a kill all order from Secretary. No, no.

Donald Trump (33:10)

Both.

Buck Sexton (33:11)

Admiral Bradley was very clear that he was given no such order not to give no quarter or to kill them all. He was given an order that of course was written down in great detail, as our military always does.

Buck Sexton (33:24)

There you go. He says there was no order to kill them all. This is again, why I think that there was a little bit of static on this we were talking about a few days ago. I think the strikes are lawful and I think the way they conducted this strike based on my understanding of the facts, was lawful. But there is such a thing as an unlawful strike. And I think some people lost sight of that. If someone. If you find someone after the strike, floating on a piece of refuse, you know, a quarter mile away, unconscious, unconscious. You know, you can't walk up to them with a silence pistol and give them a double tap in the head and say, sorry, enemy combatant. Like, you can't do that under laws of war, under US Federal law, take your pick, but you can't actually do that. That's not what happened here. That's not what happened. All jokes about our wonderful Clara Linda aside, take them out. Finish him off. No, that's something else. Here is a Senator Cotton actually continuing here. He's saying that it was entirely lawful and in fact, under the circumstances he says needed play, play. 8. The first strike, the second strike, and the third and the fourth strike on September 2nd were entirely lawful and needful. I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat loaded with a drug down for the United States back over so they could stay in the fight. And potentially, given all the context, we heard of other narco terrorist boats in the area coming to their aid to recover their cargo and recover those narco terrorists.

Buck Sexton (35:02)

Still in the fight. Lawful strike. That's what he sees. That's what was. Was briefed behind closed doors, and that's what Admiral Bradley apparently testified to. So there you have it. That's. That's what we've got. All this other stuff, all the war crimes, everything else, man, they really, you know so much about the media based on who they hate the most. You know, it tells you a lot, man. They want to take out Hegseth from his role as Secretary of War. And they also want to remove Cash Patel, Another. Another hit piece on Cash today. They're really going after Cash as director of the FBI.

So I think when you start to have. And I understand there's some. There's always room for criticism.

Donald Trump (35:50)

You.

Buck Sexton (35:50)

If you knew enough, if anyone knows enough about any of these bureaucracies, the people in charge of them are going to make mistakes and they're going to be areas where they should be criticized.

Buck Sexton (36:00)

That's just. This would be like if you're coaching a professional sports team, even if you're a great coach, anyone can watch a game and be like, look, that was the wrong play there. And that's true. But that's a different thing from, fire him. He's not a good coach. That's different.

Buck Sexton (36:15)

I think they've been given very difficult jobs. I think the FBI reforming the FBI job, to me sounds like it's even more Just thankless and impossible in some ways than I know. The DoD is like the largest bureaucracy in the world. Department of Defense, now Department of War. But everything I hear from all the active duty and veterans that I speak to is that they're such a.

Buck Sexton (36:42)

They're so happy about the restoration of the esprit de corps of the military to be a lethal fighting force, war making machine when necessary. Right. Preparing for war when necessary. Not some social justice experiment where everyone gets a trophy and they're supposed to sit around and, you know, play hopscotch together or something. I mean, like, this is, this is meant to be what it is, the Department of War. The FBI side of things, I feel like is just more man, they got a lot of entrenched bureaucrats in there, a lot of comeyism. A lot of comeyism. Deeply enmeshed in that FBI bureaucracy and very, very tough to separate that out. We'll take some calls and some of your talkbacks here. Remember, we got Senator Mark Wade. Mullen will be with us shortly. Talk to him about the strikes and all that that's coming up. When tragedy strikes, the Tunnel to Towers foundation honors America's heroes and their families. Heroes like United States Army Specialist Andy Kingsley. Andy served our nation with honor as part of the 82nd Airborne Division. Throughout his distinguished career, he received various awards and decorations including a Purple Heart. But while Andy was deployed, he was severely injured. The incident resulted in the loss of his right leg, partial vision loss, and a traumatic brain injury. He spent over a year at Walter Reed National Military Medical center learning how to navigate life with his injuries. Living with severe combat injuries can make even life's daily tasks challenging. That's why receiving a specially adapted mortgage free smart home from Tunnel to Towers has been life changing for Andy. It allows him to live with greater independence and dignity. This is the power of giving to Tunnel to Towers. Many more heroes like Andy need your support and they use your donations wisely. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers@t2t.org that's t the number two t.org Geek out with the guys on the Sunday hang with Clay and Buck podcast a new episode every Sunday.
