Of all the games that are going to be going on, Buck is going to have no idea but he has got his bracket done. I will finish my bracket today and it will be posted at Clay and Buck. And there is a fabulous steak dinner on the line between which of us will be better at picking games.

Buck Sexton
Putting my money where my mouth is on this one. My bracketology may surprise some of you very much so.
- [01:12]
Clay Travis
Ok, we got a lot that's going on happening in real time here. Trump has just completed a phone call with Zelensky. He talked to Putin yesterday and he just put out a message saying there will be more details on his hour long phone call that will soon be up. As we certainly are hoping that we're going to get a ceasefire and working towards peace in Europe. We will update you on exactly what happened there. Positive news, SpaceX Elon Musk brought back our two astronauts that had been stranded for eight months. I don't know that we've talked about this, Buck. I don't know how you think you would do with this. I would lose my mind. There are a few things that I could not do. I could not get and I bet we have a bunch of guys and gals who have done this. I could not get on a submarine and go under the water for like six months. I would go completely bonkers and insane. They have to do some of you.
- [02:15]
Buck Sexton
Psychological testing because of that. And obviously people think they're not claustrophobic until they're put in a situation where claustrophobia is a real problem.
- [02:24]
Clay Travis
I would lose it. I, I mean if you told me, hey, you're going to go underwater for a couple of hours, I think I could do it. If you told me for months, I would lose My mind, I give credit to these astronauts. They thought they were going to space for eight days and instead they ended up in space for eight months. Whatever you do, can you imagine if you thought you were going somewhere for eight days and you had to stay for eight months? I think even on Earth, many people would lose it over a situation such as that. The fact that we have to rely on Elon Musk to save our astronauts because he's better at sending people to space now and sending rocket ships to space than NASA is both an incredible endorsement of Elon and an absolute indictment of our federal tax dollars and what they have done. He caught up with NASA after they had roughly a 70 year head start on him, and he's now better at that.
- [03:22]
Buck Sexton
If you hate Elon all of a sudden, you're a loser. Yeah, I don't know how to put it better than that. This guy is incredible. And what he is trying to do in the government, it's not like he showed up and stuck, you know, stuck himself in the middle of the abortion debate or even the climate change debate because he's actually pretty pro climate change movement. Right, right. He's just trying to help fix the government, which is a mess. And he's the best CEO on the planet. And he's better, as you've said, sending rockets than NASA or any sovereign government on the planet. Keep in mind, he's better than China, he's better than Russia, and people are burning Teslas in protest. This has really been catching up. This is. There's more and more of this.
- [04:03]
Clay Travis
These people are naming it. Let's talk about this. Because I thought we were going to talk about something else, but I'm really fired up about this too. And I know you talked about it with yesterday with Will Kane. I was just on Fox News talking about it. You sent me. Cause I, I don't know. I. I'm not. We talked about yesterday. You and I are not car guys. Right? There are people out there that are.
- [04:20]
Buck Sexton
We are catching some flack for this, by the way. Apparently you and I like to get our hair done in the backseat, maybe get our nails filed, you know?
- [04:27]
Clay Travis
Yeah, I don't. I'm not a car guy, but I went downstairs yesterday after you sent me the Tesla SUV prices or whatever you texted it to me, and I went down talk to my wife because she's got a big Escalade suv, as many moms do, because we've got three boys that take up a lot of space and all their gear and all their friends and Everything else. So, but that car has been, it's got over a hundred thousand miles on it. So we've been talking about getting a new car, one of our boys going to go off to college next year. So, so we've got, you know, some, some life changes going on and I said have you thought about this Tesla suv? And so we're going to go look at the Tesla suv and I'm inclined to buy a Tesla. Buck fortunate to have the means to be able to buy a car, not have to worry about, about the cost side. I understand that is not true for everybody.
- [05:22]
Buck Sexton
Can we just throw out there you can get incredible deals on Teslas right now.
- [05:26]
Clay Travis
That's what you told me. Like I was kind of blown away by how affordable they are. But I want to send a message that is the opposite of the I'm going to key this vehicle, I'm going to light it on fire. The domestic terrorism that we are seeing everywhere. Whatever you think about Elon, to your point, Buck, he's trying to save every taxpayer money by locating and eliminating waste and fraud in our federal government. Everyone, this just hit you, and I knew this, but the Twitter X stock is now back to the same price that Elon bought it at for both debt free purposes and also individual shareholder investments. That SpaceX is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. He's Tesla stock is being attacked and we'll play some audio with you for you of that which I think frankly is despicable. It's one of the most successful American corporations in the history of the world. I don't know why you would be trying to destroy it when it is like if you're a climate change zealot, which all these people claim to be, there's truly no one who's done more to try to fight the impact of gas powered vehicles than Elon in the history of the world. And so all of this is crazy and I'm inclined, Buck, to go buy a Tesla to show support for Elon across the board and stand up against the firebombings and the terror attacks basically that I believe are occurring against Tesla.
- [06:54]
Buck Sexton
Well, this is, this is very important and we are going to talk about the judicial coup here momentarily. Just, you know, we're very on this. Clay and I have been going back and forth this morning on it. We know what a problem this is, the biggest challenge Trump faces. But let's finish this discussion here about Tesla because I think this really does matter a lot. We used to talk, Clay, under the Biden administration about the parallel Economy, really now we should just be talking about the patriotic economy.
- [07:19]
Clay Travis
Yeah.
- [07:19]
Buck Sexton
We have now major companies, major corporations. I can't list them all right now, but you know what they are that have either been built aligned with freedom and pro American values, or in some cases have realigned themselves with pro American values and freedom. And we all make choices every day. And this is not a Crockett coffee ad. But it should be. Or it could be because you should.
- [07:44]
Clay Travis
I mean, we're putting our money where our mouth is on. We're not just, you know, speaking into the ether and not having any.
- [07:49]
Buck Sexton
And people say, well, why are you starting coffee? That's just to get the business going. Crockett is going to be a bigger business with a whole range of products and things, but it's aligned with your values. It supports causes you care about. Obviously, Tesla's a, you know, a trillion dollar company, so it's on a much, much bigger scale. The point here, though, is I think that we all should remember that we used to on the right. And you know, Clay, I've been doing this now for 15 years and talking about how we're getting kicked in the face by Google, we're getting kicked in the face by corporate America. We're constantly being mistreated by all these companies. Now the shift has happened and now you can all decide every day when you can. I know it's not always a choice. I know some of you are going to come at me for still subscribing to Netflix, and I should probably rethink that. But when you have the option to support a company that supports your values, like car companies, I mean, I'm talking about the big ticket items now, not just the everyday consumables. Do you step up and do you make the decision or not? Now, I know some of you don't like electric cars. That's fine. I'm just saying there are opportunities. Now, Carrie and I are thinking about, you know, we've had a couple of issues here with the Internet in South Florida. And as you remember, some of you saw, I went into. Into the. Actually was power, not even electricity or not even Internet. But I was in the dark during the show. Just everything went off here. But we thought about getting a Starlink. And Gary said to me, you know what I think is a good idea? Getting a Starlink. And I said to her, yeah, and I want to support Elon's companies because Elon is supporting saving the America that we all want to live in. He's not the only one. All the sponsors on this show. And again, I know this sounds like I'm doing a commercial, but it's not. They all stand with your values. So every time you buy with them, yeah, you're getting a good product. Of course, we have a lot of people that want to partner with us. We just have no interest in like, we won't take money from certain people. We've turned down more business than we've taken overall. The point here is we see that there are opportunities to align your economic activity to. With your beliefs in the country that you want to live in. And the other side has known this for a long time and the other side acts out. And that's why they're burning Teslas like Luna. And it's not just the burning Teslas. You have mainstream Clay, like MSNBC to whatever degree that's mainstream, anchors who are elated that Tesla stock is down substantially. If you care about climate change, if you care about the environment, if you care about a great American. Is there a car that is more American made than Tesla? I don't think so.
- [10:19]
Clay Travis
I don't think so.
- [10:20]
Buck Sexton
And so if you care about any of those things, why are you praising the. By the way, it's a downturn in the stock. I would never bet against Elon. I'm just going to say that. But did you see what I mean? This is. Yeah, this is a moment of choosing for everybody. So I don't think. And I think to your point, by the way, Clay, for your. You got a 17 year old, right? Yeah, I've got a 17. We're close friends with neighbors. They've got a 17 year old boy. They just got him a Tesla. He loves that car. And they love that car. It's super safe, it's aligned with their values and it can even drive him to school.
- [10:49]
Clay Travis
That's what we're thinking about. Because any of you who have ever been a teenage boy, teenage boys are the biggest morons on the planet. Everyone out there, if you raised one, if you have been one at any point in time. Teenage boys make irrational, stupid decisions more than any, I really believe this, that are dangerous. Teenage girls also do all sorts of stupid things, I'm sure. But teenage boys actually do things that are more physically dangerous typically than teenage girls. Cars like I'm, I'm worried about, he's got his driver's license, but I'm worried about him as you worry if you have a teenage driver, anybody does. A Tesla feels like to me one of the safest vehicles that a young teenage driver could be behind the wheel of. And look, I understand, I mean a car is a big purchase decision, but look at what they're doing. And your point I think is a good one, Buck, because there are some things that are super third rail controversial. If Elon was like, hey, I'm going to tell you I believe that we should have partial birth abortions and I'm just going to dive directly into something like that. I can understand why you invite that.
- [12:00]
Buck Sexton
Heat, you get that heat. I understand.
- [12:03]
Clay Travis
But hey, I'm. All he's done is try to eliminate waste and fraud in the government. And remember, he voted for Joe Biden in 2020 against Trump. He voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. The idea that this is somehow a far right ideologue, he is just doing. He, he has woken up. I really believe this and recognize that America's on a perilous path. If we have a $36 trillion deficit, we have to figure out a way to balance the federal budget. And if we don't, there are going to be incredibly profound consequences for the most important country in the world. That is this one.
- [12:42]
Buck Sexton
He is legitimately and truly working day in and day out. I don't agree with Elon and everything to be clear, like there's a lot that I could sit here with and say, you know, I don't necessarily see it that way. But also he is the greatest and most most impressive current CEO living at a time when companies that he is, he has built from effectively nothing have changed the world we live in. They are changing. There is a space economy, a space based economy now that did not exist before. Okay. Outer space is now part of economic activity in a way that was not. He's doing all these things, Clay. What he is trying to accomplish, if he is successful, benefits every single American. And I would argue because of the reverberations of the American economy globally really benefits the whole planet. Ok, so these. And it's not just the maniacs lighting cars on fire. That's the, you know, that's the left wing vanguard. That's the, you know, they're lunatics. They've always been lunatics. But the fact that the mainstream Democrat party has now turned anti Elon just goes to show you they'd rather watch us all burn down than allow somebody who likes President Trump to do great things for all of us. And that's like a psychosis. It truly there's something wrong with these people. If, I swear to you, if Elon was trying to do this for Joe Biden, we'd Be sitting here being like, look, Biden's an imbecile. I don't like it. You know, but what Elon's doing is pretty good. You know what I mean? Like, I'm telling you, if he was truly trying to cut fat and weight. But the Democrats would never allow that. That's the truth.
- [14:16]
Clay Travis
I agree. And this is going to be, by the way, a story that is going to continue to propel as we move forward. And look, I think all of you out there, we've been saying it for a long time. We build businesses based on it. You should align your purchasing decisions with things that you believe are good for the country. Right. And maybe at some point, the whole concept of a parallel economy. Buck. Will be unnecessary because every company will just say, hey, I want to serve everybody across the entire political spectrum evenly. We're getting a little bit more of that, but we're not there yet. And Elon's under attack. And I think if you have the ability and the. And the. And the opportunity. I would just look at a Tesla. I really would.
- [15:01]
Buck Sexton
Yeah. And they're. They're phenomenal in a lot of ways. And by the way, we are not. We are not sponsored by Tesla.
- [15:07]
Clay Travis
Don't get anybody.
- [15:08]
Buck Sexton
I wish.
- [15:09]
Clay Travis
Zero. Yes.
- [15:10]
Buck Sexton
I would take. I would take Tesla money from Uncle Elon and sell you.
- [15:13]
Clay Travis
We would be very happy to be. Clay and Buck. Brought to you by Tesla. We never had a car ad on the company in four years. So it's not like we've been. You know, like, nobody's come and tried to buy. Buy car ads that I'm aware of.
- [15:25]
Buck Sexton
Somebody who's making an amazing product and ideologically aligned. That's like a lot of our. That is our sponsorship base here. So, speaking of sponsors, let's talk about tax season. Clay, this is gonna stay. Gotta pull together all your stuff.

Buck Sexton
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. I just want to set the table here because Clay is about to take us onto a deep dive into what I think has been rightly called by the president of El Salvador a judicial coup here in America. That is what it feels like. It is madness. These judges are trying to on their own. The judiciary is trying to just throw rocks and sand in the gears of the Trump administration in unprecedented speed in ways that are absolutely beyond the pale. So we will dive into this. What's going on? A whole slew of them just came down yesterday and we'll bring you up to speed on that. Also, want to take a whole lot of your talkbacks, emails and calls today and I'm just going to tell you right now, you're not going to get me to back down on this cobbler thing. You cobbler gobblers out there need to join Team Pie and stop thinking that somehow making it all crumbly makes up for the fact that you messed up your pie crust and called it a cobbler. That's what I'm here for. To speak the truth that not all.
- [18:01]
Clay Travis
Of you want to hear cobbler reactions. Very justified. If my grandmothers from the South Southern grandmas were still alive, Buck, they would be saying, bless your heart, potentially, as they bludgeoned you with their cooking instruments that they use to make the cobbler, the rolling pins.
- [18:19]
Buck Sexton
They'd be slapping me with rolling pins for my cobbler.
- [18:21]
Clay Travis
Quite clearly, yes. Grandma Ruth and Grandma MG would not be happy. We have some new steak bets in the making and the steak that are being bet well, it'd be great. Be good ranchers.

Good ranchers.com my name Clay for $25 off welcome back in Clay. Travis. BUCK SEXTON SHOW okay, let's div to this, Buck and I'm going to try to talk as both a lawyer and someone who is unhappy with what's going on, which is, by the way, for lawyers, not necessarily an uncommon perspective to find yourself in. So we have talked about what The Trump Resistance 2.0 was going to look like compared to the Trump Resistance 1.0. Tru and I want to see if you agree with this overall thesis. Buck Trump Resistance 1.0 was actually primarily driven by the Democrat Party. They all lined up their media allies in the legacy media. They put Democracy Dies in Darkness at the top of the Washington Post. They laid out a direct attack. They tried to argue Russia collusion. They had everybody moving in the same direction, the legacy media and the Democrat Party. There now is a void, I would say, at both of those places. The Democrats do not really have a leader. They have a lot of squawking from people like Jasmine Crockett and people like even now, Tim Walls will play some audio from of you of him for you. Gavin Newsom is kind of floundering around. Kamala Harris has vanished for the meantime. Joe Biden, nobody's seen him. There is a, there's a leadership void of a substantial level right now at the Democrat Party. Hakeem Jeffries is a shadow compared to the power that Nancy Pelosi wielded as the head in the in the House, Chuck Schumer is under siege. In the Senate, what has emerged as Trump 2.0 challenge is nothing like what we saw with Trump 1.0. Trump 2.0, the challenge is being led by all of these federal district court judges who are deciding to try to enjoin that is stopped Trump from doing his presidential actions at a level, frankly, that we have never seen before in terms of what they are trying to stop. And I've got some numbers for you here, Buck. Total injunctions that were put in place during George W. Bush's time in office. Six. Three of them were by the opposing party, Barack Obama. Total injunctions. 12. Seven of them came from the opposing party.
- [21:59]
Buck Sexton
12 and eight years.
- [22:01]
Clay Travis
Correct. These are, these are the 12 and years. This is their entire tenure. OK. Joe Biden during his 14. Sorry, during his four year term. 14 injunctions. Okay. These are tiny numbers we are seeing right now, Buck. Numbers that are off the charts even compared to what we saw in the first Trump term. The numbers right now, I believe I have this accurate. This is from our friend Hyatt lives of TikTok. 96 different injunctions that have taken place now against Trump. The vast majority of those injunctions, 83 having been issued by Democrat appointed federal district court judges.
- [22:50]
Buck Sexton
Well, here's. It's been 15. In a month, Clay. Yes, in one month. Let me think about that. Right? In a. Trump has already been president for four years. If you add them all up, this. And to give a sense to everybody of what these injunctions cover. And I mentioned this, the president of El Salvador, who you would think. And you know, I got to say, all of Latin America should be looking at this guy and the miracle that he has pulled off in El Salvador and saying, hey, what did he do? How did he accomplish that? But there's not really. And certainly the American left should be thinking the same thing. Maybe there's something to learn here about turning a country from a unsafe hellhole into a very safe place where people feel prosperous and happy about the future. Anyway, he said that the US Is facing a judicial coup and that got a lot of attention. I think that's correct, Clay. Four federal judges just this month have ordered the following. The reinstatement of all the USAID workers who were fired. Trump having to tell a flight in midair to return to US Airspace and to land here. The blocking of transgender prohibitions in the military. Did you see that? That's, that's the latest one. Reinstatement of Department of Education grants. I mean, this is. Who's in charge. Who runs the federal government. If Trump can't fire anybody and change any discretionary spending done in the executive branch and make any determinations about policy, who's the president?
- [24:23]
Clay Travis
Well, and this is super important, too. The Supreme Court, we understand, has ultimate authority on the law of the land. It takes five Supreme Court justices to issue a ruling, and that is the rule. The law of the land right now. What we have is hundreds of federal district court judges that are throwing themselves in front of Trump's actions. One single judge is trying to overrule the President of the United States. And what they are taking advantage of is an opportunity to try and run out the clock when it comes to the Trump term and power. Because what they know is, and we told you this, and this is why the Trump team is trying to move so fast. You don't know what's going to happen in 2026. Believe it or not, 2026, the elections are going to be here very, very soon. And by the time we get to next year, they're going to be trying to really slow down anything that can be passed in Congress at all. And Trump is likely buck to be able to keep the Senate, maybe even expand his majority in the Senate. But we're talking about the House coming down to just a couple of races. And the likelihood right now is it's going to be very hard to maintain a majority in the House. And so they're trying to keep him from getting anything done.
- [25:50]
Buck Sexton
Well, this is, this is the single biggest challenge that Trump has to the agenda right now. And it comes from, it comes from unelected appointed judges who also really suffer no consequences because of their lifetime tenure for completely unprofessional and overreaching judicial diktats. And I think that this is the, this is the biggest challenge the Trump team faces. They knew this was coming. He already went up against this in the first term. But I'm not sure that we can count on the Supreme Court to give the necessary relief to this process. Because unfortunately, Amy Coni Barrett and Justice Roberts, Chief Justice Roberts, are institutionalists at their core. And they believe that there's some system that is run by elites that has to be protected even when it is not, in fact, conducive to the will of the people. And that's, that's a big challenge. This is a major problem that the Trump team faces right now. I hope the Supreme Court steps in, but the strategy right now is just slow everything down to a crawl via judges, and by the time the midterms come around, we'll have thwarted Trump. That's their whole plan. They have nothing else.
- [27:07]
Clay Travis
Yeah, and I understand a lot of people out there because we had to talk so much about the legal system with the Trump attacks, whether it was civil, whether it was criminal. Let me give you just a 30 second rough overview of how this process works. There are team in New York. You can look up the number. I think there's something like 800 federal district court judges in the United States. That's a huge number. These judges all have lifetime tenure. They work these federal district court judges as sort of the single a, if you're a sports fan, the single A level of, of the court system. Their opinions are then appealed to the federal district court. And there are 13 federal district courts in the United States. And I used to be an expert on this back when I was taking the bar exam and studying for it and everything else. But the federal district courts will pull together multiple different state courts. So you'll have, for instance, in the sixth Circuit where I live, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio is the sixth Circuit, ninth Circuit, for instance. And again, I'm doing this off the top of my head is the West Coast, California, Oregon, Washington. You guys can correct me if I'm wrong. In, in our New York studios, this is why we need a real time fact checker to make sure I don't screw all this up. You appeal to multiple judges at the circuit court level so an individual judge can make a decision at the federal court level. It then can take buck months for the federal circuit court to rule. And then above the federal circuit court is the Supreme Court. And there are cases where from the federal district court to the Supreme Court, we're talking about a year, years that the pro. This is why I hated being a litigator because it was so slow moving and I just wanted to go, go, go. But they are using the courts to try to stop the Trump administration from doing what I believe he's been duly elected to, to, to undertake. And so what you really have is a argument about where does executive authority and where does judicial authority actually where is the line of power? And what these federal district court judges are doing is they're gambling that even if they get overturned that they are going to be able to slow down the gears of government and keep Trump from being able to enact the executive plans that he was elected to enact. And so you've got all these Democrat judges that are basically throwing themselves in front of the train tracks to try to keep the Trump train from rolling. That's, I hope, somewhat of an understandable explanation for what's going on.
- [30:04]
Buck Sexton
Big picture, am I too cynical about how the Supreme Court is going to play into this? Do you have more hope than me? Come on, Lawyer Clay.
- [30:17]
Clay Travis
So I was actually, I would say, optimistic. And I think I ended up being optimistic for a good reason as it pertained to Hunter Biden and what whether they were going to let him get off scot free. And thanks to Judge Meisel, if I remember her name correctly, in Delaware, that didn't happen. I am very skeptical that Roberts in particular is going to be very helpful of Trump. Now. They were very helpful of Trump on presidential powers as it pertained to the charges that were brought against him. But the problem you run into here is Trump's only got three and a half years.
- [30:52]
Buck Sexton
And here's the other thing that was, even though it was Trump and so that blinded all the libs, that was certainly institutionalist in nature. Meaning, yes, they understood if you can prosecute a president for things he does as president you don't like, the whole system collapses.
- [31:09]
Clay Travis
Recognize for every president years into the future. Right.
- [31:12]
Buck Sexton
So, you know, in two terms, when it's president, so and so and the Democrats freak out and they start prosecuting him again, I mean, the whole system starts to collapse on itself. In this case, it's not that you should, you know, wipe away the federal judges or anything, the judiciary. It's that there needs to be a willingness to strike down the overreach that has become systematic and intentional to undermine the executive branch at its core. I don't know, you know, I don't know how they see that. I, you know, Amy Coney Barrett, good on abortion, bad on pretty much a lot of other things.

So here's the, here's the challenge illegally, Buck. And this is why I think they're having some success. A lot of this is fact based determination, meaning where exactly the line is drawn between presidential authority and judicial action is somewhat complicated. I liked Stephen Miller yesterday. We played the audio where he said, clearly a federal Circuit district court judge can't stop the President from moving as commander in chief brigades around overseas.

Buck Sexton
The only thing that a federal judge can't do, apparently is stop a president from starting a war. Okay, well, I'm glad to know that.

Clay Travis
That'S there, but it is significant. They said that the plane was already in international waters. The federal district court judge jurisdiction does not extend by and large to international decisions made by the President of the United States. But does it extend to all of these minute, different details? Easy answer. We don't know. I don't believe so. But asking the courts to have to shepherd all of this and determine all of it is very complicated and the ultimate goal is just to stop. They just want, they don't, they don't really care. They just remember when Biden said buck, it was very telling. I can't do this, but I'm going to do it anyway. Because it's going to take the Supreme Court a while to rule on it.

That's basically this just like the Obama ism. I've got a pen and a phone go around Congress. That's what that meant. He was going around Congress even though he didn't have the authority to do it. But it was great when Obama did it. They told us our look, there's a nonprofit organization out there, Preborn, that is doing amazing work every day saving the lives of unborn children. They've been at this for decades. And what they do at Preborn is they locate their clinics in places where there are far too many abortions happening day in and day out. It's tragic. What they do is they welcome pregnant moms who are deciding between life or abortion for their unborn child. And they give them love and support. No judgment. They just want to introduce them to their baby via ultrasound. That ultrasound experience so often is a game changer. It makes that emotional connection between mother and child. Preborn has saved 300,000 babies to date in this way over their 20 years. When you make a donation to Preborn, your gift provides for that ultrasound. Preborn gets no government funding. It is you, the pro life community, stepping up to save the lives of tiny babies and to help this country build beautiful families going forward. $28 is just the cost of an ultrasound and that may figure into a monthly donation that you can make. A $28 donation would cover an ultrasound and if you can set it up to $28 a month, you will be helping this incredibly important mission. It is tax deductible 100%. Donate securely by dialing pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250 say baby or visit preborn.com buck preborn.com b u c K sponsored by Preborn Geek out with the.

They're crazy, but these numbers are like we were looking at them.

Buck Sexton
Wild, wild stuff. So we'll talk about that a couple I Want to get to some of your VIP emails and also some of the things you're writing in. Let me just say VIP email from Jenny. Hey, just heard that you're thinking of switching to Starlink. I did that two weeks ago because my Internet service was terrible in rural Utah. There's even a sale on the hardware right now, but I wanted to support Elon as well. And the Starlink speeds are insane, easy to set up. It's fantastic. I say do it. I think we are going to do it here. So, yeah, Starlink is another opportunity to. Like I said, we're not sponsored by Elon or anything. I just think it's great. I will point out, but my wife loves Costco. I don't know if she can hear me right now. And I did not know this. Some of you have let me know. I don't know everything. I mean, I know a lot, but I don't know everything. And apparently Costco is very woke.

Clay Travis
It's true.
- [36:17]
Buck Sexton
And very woke.
- [36:19]
Clay Travis
Very committed to DEI ag.
- [36:21]
Buck Sexton
They're very committed to dei. Okay, well, now I know. And we're gonna limit the Costco shopping as long as I can stay married.
- [36:28]
Clay Travis
Good luck, by the way. Good luck with that. Good luck. I'm going to try.
- [36:31]
Buck Sexton
I'm going to try. Look, I've never. Just to be clear, I've never even been to Costco. You got a pregnant wife.
- [36:36]
Clay Travis
I wouldn't be trying to limit anything right now. You got a pregnant wife. I don't know. This is a battleground you need to go on to. I think.
- [36:43]
Buck Sexton
I think you're right. And I'm going to have to strike that from the record. But, but Glenn, we will.
- [36:48]
Clay Travis
The transcript. So there's no evidence.
- [36:51]
Buck Sexton
So we. I. But I will. We'll start to pressure. We'll find ways to bring it to light. And you know, because it's a legal issue if they're pursuing DEI policies that are violation of where the constitution is on hiring, for example, and what the Supreme Court has said. So. All right, learn something about Costco here. Clay. I didn't know because I've never go. But yeah, I want to stay married, so I can't shut it all down. But we're working on it. You've brought it to my attention. We'll talk more about the judicial coup here in a second.
