Edition of the Clay. Travis and Buck Sexton show podcast that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of the Mayor of the City of New York. Of the office of the Mayor of the City of New York. According to the best of my ability. According to the best of my ability. So help me God. So help me God. There was much rejoicing. Hey there. We're set for unprecedented success in 2026. I was thinking about it. I'm like, we are so set up for success. I shared so much of what has been accomplished in Trump's first go round, and it only is actually continuing to get better as we enter this year. There's so many similarities to where we were back in 20, 2018. But then I was also thinking about, and you have the socialist commie mom Donnie dream team there. And I was thinking, not everybody, not everybody set for unprecedented success. You know, there's a reasonable chance in New York City could be screwed. Could be screwed, mom. Donnie, as he was sworn in by the Burn and also had AOC on hand for that whole commie dream team right there, made clear, hey, you know what? Private sector pretty much dead here. We don't need no stinking private sector. We are big government and we're here to help you because that always works so well. And, yeah, you know, socialism responsible for the death of approximately 100 million people, primarily through collapsed economies and starvation. But other than that, it's been great. So this will be two. So, yeah, sorry, New York. I was talking to producer Ali, by the way. This is Brian Mudd in for Clayne Buck, broadcasting from my home station WJNO in West Palm beach, not too far from where the President has been hanging out at Mar A Lago. And always an honor and a pleasure to be here with you. We have, like, the conveyor belt of people that for some time have gone. You know, what probably shouldn't be in New York probably is a lot better to be in South Florida. We've had that conveyor belt working and it continues to. So talking to producer Ali before the show, she's like, yeah, time to get out of New York City. And if this is you, if you're like, okay, this is real now, Mamdani is really here and he's saying, yes, I am a socialist and yes, the private sector is dead. There is still room. I mean, yeah, things are a lot more crowded here than they used to be, but there is still room for you. But maybe not for a whole lot longer, because, man, that conveyor belt from places like California, going to Peter Till, you know, founder of PayPal, among other things, going back in the day. He just opened an office in Miami as he's looking to vacate Silicon Valley once and for all because of the wealth tax that California is considering. So between the influx from California, the influx from New York City and then also New York State, generally blue states, things are getting busy here. But there is still some room in South Florida, should you find yourself thinking, you know, what I need to be doing to be set up for unprecedented success in 2026. I need to get the heck out of here. So you can come on down, come join us. It's always, I should say, maybe not always beautiful, but pretty darn close. Pretty darn close. Like today is, is absolutely spectacular. One of those days where it's kind of hard to leave the house because it was just absolutely beautiful weather, perfect. We are in the, the free state of Florida and all that going on. So. But I, I don't think I, I need to offer up any more incentive for you to, to make the move, if that is you. We will be taking a look at some of what's going on in New York, also the foreign policy stuff. El presidente has been working, of course, with the Maduro regime, putting the heat and the pressure there, Iran as well. And so every single day, President Trump continues to work for you, even the holidays. And this might be why, for example, with the Wall Street Journal, they still haven't figured it out. You know, Trump, he's, he's going to turn 80 this year. And he occasionally shuts his eyes. He's been seen, like in meeting settings, shutting his eyes. It might be the only time that his eyes actually shut is on occasion for probably like 10 seconds in a meeting. And he's probably thinking, because the man is working harder than you and I don't care who you are. He works harder than all of us and he has more energy than the rest of us, too. So that is certainly an effort to try harder, fail better. As President, Trump has announced that he has come out with shining colors with his, his health test, his, his cognitive assessment and all that as well. As we dive into this new year, thinking about the unprecedented success that we are set up for most of us. Couple of questions. And I was thinking about this for me, and now I'm thinking about it for you. What year has been the best year of your life? You think back and what year was the very best today? And then why was that year the best year of your life? And I'm going to run out on a limb and say, you know what? Probably not because of Uncle Sam, probably not because of government at any level.

And by the way, if that is, like, as good as it has been for you, you. You have my sympathies. And you're also probably a resident of New York City, and we're attending the swearing in ceremony for Mom Donna. But there's also something else that came to mind. You always think about, okay, well, the New Year resolutions, that kind of thing. Odds are it also wasn't the result of a New Year's resolution. I was taking a Look at this YouGov. They just pulled on it. Only 31% of people still do the New Year's resolution thing. Do you do it or do you just kind of like, you know what? Here's some stuff I want to get accomplished this year, because that's kind of the way that I operate, Mike. Okay, here's this year's agenda, and then go ahead and make it happen. So, yeah, 31% of people still do the New Year's resolution thing. Took a look at how many people actually achieved the resolutions that they set out on last year. It was 9%. Only 9% of resolutions from 2025 maintained through the end of the year. So in other words, if you kind of take a look at the entire population of people, those who set resolutions, those that then actually attempt to keep the. Only about 3% of people ever make New Year's resolutions tick. Although the typical resolution does stick for a little bit longer than I thought, just over three months. Pretty good. Pretty good. Because there are probably some folks out there today, and we're like, man, New Year's Day was rough. I couldn't make it work this year. Yeah, typical resolution sticks for. For over three months. But anyway, as small as that number is that only 3% of people actually successfully completed a New Year's resolution over the the past year. It sounds about right. And part of it is what makes us determined what creates success to significance. And personally, I've never been a resolution person because there's nothing about the change of a date on a calendar that is inherently going to equal some kind of great commitment towards just this meaningful life change, make whatever that is that much better. It's like anything, you've got to want it, you got to commit. Whatever it is, you got to want it and you've got to commit. You can't just sit back and go, oh, Mom, Donnie is going to take care of it all for me. It's going to be great. Not going to Work out. It's not going to be the best year of your life. It's likely to be the worst. At that point, you're sitting around waiting for the government to take care of you. Now, if you're ready to do so, when it comes to resolutions, and these are the people actually are successful with them, if you're ready to commit and the new year provides a convenient date, a convenient opportunity to do so, that is where things kind of line up and you get to the 3% of people. So I want to circle back to my question about what the best year of your life was. Maybe it was the year you were married, maybe it was the year you had your first child, or, who know, maybe your last, started your dream job or a business. Whatever that year was, it almost certainly was because you did what you needed to do to set yourself up for success and committed to whatever it was that brought about that positive change, along with, you know, at times, being incredibly lucky along the way. Like, for example, me when I married my wonderful and talented wife Ashley, all kinds of good fortune and luck that came along with that one. The reason that I've started with this train of thought is the result of a lot of thinking I was doing about what needs to happen for you, what needs to happen for our country to be set up for maximum success this year, whether you're, you're opting to try the resolution thing or not. Because the government is a lot like referees or umpires. You know, great officiating crew will never be able to create the greatest game you've ever watched. Right? If you're talking about the officiating, for that matter, almost always not going to be a good thing. So great officiating won't ever make any game great, but awful officiating ruins a game. And so what we did back in, in 2017, into 2018, was a lot of us were like, okay, well, you know, Trump's in charge, he's making things happen. This, this is good. And we didn't follow through on our end this year, this second year that we're heading into, still only 11 plus months of Trump's first term is a critical moment in American history. As critical as the 24 election was, as important of an election as we've had in our lifetimes, one of the most important ever. We gotta follow through. We can't just be like, oh, Trump's there and things are gonna be okay. I'm not in New York City, so I'm not screwed by Mom, Donnie, or what you can't do that again. And so we cannot have a repeat this year of what we ended up having in 2018. And I've done the analytics on this stuff. We don't have to have that. A lot of people about now taking a look at the midterms thinking, you know what, Republicans are going to get waxed, doesn't look good. History suggests that the party opposite to the president is going to farewell all these things. We don't have to let that happen. We can't let that happen. And if we will just take a look at what happened through Trump's policies in his first term, what we are set up for in this year and for the remainder of his term, it's going to be even better. It's going to be even better. And things got pretty darn good before the pandemic. You know, when you take a look at some of the great windows in our lifetime, why were the 80s ultimately great years for, for this country and really the world? Not the big hair, not the it could have been the parachute pants. You make a case for that. I don't think it was the Euro pop, although, you know, the music, pretty strong. Pretty strong. It wasn't due to more federal government intervention into your life. It wasn't due to more local government intervention in your life. It was, it was what it was. Reagan's leadership leading to less government influence in our lives where we were able to hang on to a heck of a lot more for money, lower taxes, great economy, low inflation, setting us up for all kinds of success. There is so much of history that is set to repeat itself. I'll pick up there next. Brian Mud in or Clay and Buck Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Mic drops that never sounded so good.

Gold is up around 40% this year. That's not speculation, that's reality. If a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Here are the facts. Inflation is still too high, our dollar still recovering, and the federal government debt is not going down. This is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. But it's not too late. I recently bought more gold from Birch Gold Group and you can get in the door now.

Brian Mudd
Will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed, but never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try. The one thing you might have missed is we will never actually succeed, but we're gonna do it anyway, because this just in. Socialism has never worked anywhere, responsible for killing over 100 million people. But, you know, it's always just. It's not been tried the right way. If we just tweak it a little bit, it's going to be great. We're not going to run out of other people's money. You're not going to have the tax base of anybody who is a contributor to New York City's society leaving. No, it's. It's all going to be just fantastic. Hey there. Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck. And I do think we're set for unprecedented success this year and we all have a role in it. And that might include you needing to flee New York City if you are there. It may include you needing to get out of California if you happen to be there. When I was kind of working through where we stand at this point in American history and Trump's second term, and also how analogous it is to a lot of what we went through the 80s, but also a lot of what we lived through just back in 2018. This year can go one of two ways. This can be the year that we. We sit back and we're like, all right, you know, Trump's president, so we've got that going for us. Things aren't going to be nuts and we just don't pay attention to what's going on around us. Or we stay committed, we stay committed to the cause and we do our part to make it, which doesn't necessarily have to require a lot of effort, but we make sure we don't repeat the mistakes of the past. Because just like socialism always fails, we can't all be our own version of Mandanis and do what we did in 2018 and allow Democrats to come back into power in Congress and to go ahead and pretty much ruin everything from their impeachments and. And all the like. So I'm going to pick up with some additional food for thought on this line of thinking. You know, I was mentioning the first segment. You know, the 80s were a great decade in part because of, you know, things like the, the awesome music, but also Reagan's policy. You can think about why, you know, like the 90s, for example, turned out to be a particularly good decade. It was, of course, because Al Gore had invented the Internet. So we had that going. By the way, is anybody asked Al Gore if he's responsible for AI too? Haven't. Haven't heard him comment on that. Get his word there. But why did the first three years of President Trump's first term lead to unprecedented success for this country? Only for it to get away from us. So that is what we need to combat Brian Mudd in for Clay and Buck. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. On the front lines of truth, If your landlord does not responsibly steward your home, city government will step in. It's gonna be terrific. We're gonna step in. Everything private sector said, big government in New York City, it is here. You just, you, you show us your landlord and they're done. Who isn't going to want to do business in New York City is. Is all I'm saying. It's going to be absolutely fantastic. Mandani and the, the commie dream team in place. And you got to give the guy credit. He is. He's all in. You know, he doesn't play the games. He doesn't pretend to be something he's not. He's not an Obama. He's just, he's out there. He's like the burn. He's out there and just loving every minute of it. And yeah, it's gonna, gonna work out and be great. This time never worked in human history, but this time in New York City. Awesome. Hey there. Brian Mudd in for clean buck. Fear not. By the way, the guys back with you on Monday. I do broadcast from my home station WJNO in West Palm beach, the Brian Mudd Show. You can check out my podcast anywhere. You get your podcasts and also socially at Brian Mudd Radio, talking about how we are set up for unprecedented success this year, provided that we do, like, just some very intentional things this year that we didn't do back in 2018 and so pose some questions to you. Some of the thoughts about even times gone by that were pretty good and what had to happen. One of the things that was so incredibly frustrating and I'm sure you remember this well how well things were going in this country just prior to the nonsense of the pandemic. And you got to take a step back and go, okay, well, why did the first three years of President Trump's first term lead to, at that point, unprecedented success for this country. Unprecedented success that included record low unemployment for every single minority group, low crime, record high wages, strong wage growth, nearly non existent inflation prior to the impact of the pandemic. Why did all that happen? Well, it was pretty much due to almost exactly the same reasons that we had the kind of success that we ended up having in the 80s. But at the same time, wasn't almost all the success that we ended up enjoying during that first three year period wasn't all that pretty much underappreciated by the average American. After Trump's first 11 plus months in office in 2017, I was taking a look back where we stood as we seek not to repeat the midterms of 2018, as we look to take advantage of the unprecedented success that we are set up for on this date in 2018. If you take a look at the real clear politics average of polls, Trump's approval rating just sitting at 40%. Now, I say he did not enter that second year of his presidency and in good shape from a point of public approval, just 40% approval. And by the way, that's pretty darn close to where it was when we hit the midterm elections in 2018. Okay, and what ended up happening? Well, obviously Republicans waxed and Democrats spent the remainder of his term and impeaching him and just trying to screw over Trump and this country. Right. So, but still, despite that nonsense, the policy impact of what Trump had achieved through those first two years in office, that ended up being felt in a huge way. Right. By that third year, everything just kind of kicked in. The impact of the tax cuts, trade deals, everything was just moving in a great direction. And by the way, in the third year, his approval rating reflected that too, eventually ended up rising by about seven points before all the pandemic nonsense. So people began to realize that, and you'll probably recall that he was the overwhelming favorite to be reelected prior to all the pandemic nonsense, because things were going so well in this country. Okay, so that was then. Now you consider this as we are into this critical midterm election year. You got Trump, you got his incredible accomplishments from his first 11 plus months. It's better than what he did in his first go round by a lot. His accomplishments are massive and they're still really underappreciated by the average person at this point. They're also, when you put it all together, going to have us on a trajectory that is just unlike anything we had seen before if we just do our part and give it a chance to work. So on Wednesday's show, I really broke down so many of the successes that Trump had last year. That first year, the man worked every single day, including the years that he was out of office, working on the agenda that he enacted right away. That's why we saw a record amount of activity last year. As you have the Wall Street Journal today, Trump seems tired. You know, he closes his eyes on occasion. He might even blink. Go fly a guide, people. You guys suck at life. You, anybody at the Wall street try to keep up with Trump for a day. You won't make it. You won't make it. And you certainly won't accomplish anything that the man has accomplished while he's been in office. It is just such a, such a joke. But anyway, I shared Trump's receipts from, from last year with you, and I'm not going to go through the whole ball of wax again. But in case you, you missed that full breakdown or you could use a bit of refresher, I just want to hit on some of these things because it really is exceptional in context. So the first thing is you talk about less government while you have Mandani, he's like, oh, more government than we've ever seen in New York City this year. The promise of a more limited government in this country. We have approximately 271,000 fewer federal government employees compared to when Trump took office. The federal bureaucracy has shrunk by nearly 10%, by more than 9%. A decline of nearly 1% in the size of the federal government per month. Huge. A lot of people are like, oh, you know, once Doge was gone, at least with Musk, it's all over. We're not really trying to shrink up or. No, it's still been going. President Trump was using the partial government shutdown, for that matter, to try to continue to exact that outcome. 20% of companies have eliminated DEI programs completely this year. That's big. Yet another 10% of companies with DEI programs that reduce the spending influence of those programs. That's also big, right? You've seen culturally the huge shift that's happened this year. Over the past year, he had 432 colleges and universities across 47 states that eliminated DEI programs. That's a big first year move. You know, you got the College Football Playoff that is playing out. It'll be interesting to hear Clay's thoughts about all that as you continue to see that only Indiana, a, a team with a buy that has ended up winning to advance to the the Final Four in the NCAA playoff. But anyway, yeah, the NCAA said, you know what? We're, we're not going to continue to allow guys who wake up one day and, and go, you know what? I'm feeling like a chick. I think I'm gonna compete with women. You no more of that. We're not going to allow that. It's crazy that the NCAA ever did. But, you know, they, they stopped that. And that was Trump talked about the massive leadership changes at major news organizations From CBS to NPR, NBC and even the BBC after their, you know, their, their January 6th editing scandal. All these massive changes that have been impacts of Trump over the first year mentioned that Trump has had an enormous amount of success in the courts for the record number of lawsuits that have been filed against Trump, which have averaged in the neighborhood of a couple per day, new lawsuits that have been filed against him. By the time things reach the Supreme Court, he has an incredible amount of success. You know, he's won on 21 or received favorable rulings on 21 of the 24 cases that have made it be before the Supreme Court over the past year. Total illegal border crossings. Of course, the biggest story of last year, including got aways lowest level in recorded history. One of the one of my favorite stats from, from last year and I'm, you know, a data wonk so, you know, I like that kind of thing. My one of my favorites is that you would you had more illegal immigrants, more illegal border crossers in a typical day under Biden than we had the last year. At least from January 20th on, you had the record number of deportations taking place. Two and a half million of them that took place. Again, these are all things that have a profound impact in our lives and will continue to wash through. You know, and one of the big things about deportations as well, it plays into inflation. So one of the big impacts over the past year is, yeah, things are still pretty expensive. Yeah. You know, unfortunately, the Biden inflation is, is baked in, but the rate of inflation is lower than it was. But the most important thing is that you're actually getting ahead again. The average American by the time you take a look at wage growth is getting ahead by greater than 1% compared to falling behind progressively when Biden was president. And one of the other really big points on that, the deportations help too. When you had all those illegal immigrants, those two and a half million plus that were here, where were they living? Not on the streets. They're again, government assistance programs and all kinds of stuff. And you take a look at that and okay, well, if they're not in the affordable housing, who can use the affordable housing? People that are here illegally that actually should. And then that ends up having an impact in the housing market, the single biggest cost. You don't have the same level of demand on goods. And so the impact has already started to be felt, but it's going to be felt a lot more this year. It's one of the big things is so much of this happened last year, we're just going to start to see and feel the impact of so many of these things going forward. And so there's so much here that can be, that can be a real positive. There's so much more to, to continue to break down from this. Do want to see about working. Adam in here, Adam in my neck of the woods in South Florida joining us. Welcome to the show. Okay, so don't have them. All right, so when you take a look at, you take a look at the economics, the growth that we've seen, it's been surging, surging, the inflation rate falling. You take a look at the economic growth that over the past two quarters has, has been over 4%. I mean, people said that kind of stuff couldn't be done. Right. Said it in his first term, saying it again. We've had total domestic energy production that's reached record levels this year. That's going to continue to bring lower prices. You take a look at how much you're paying for gas, a lot lower than what you were paying previously. And so then you know that's, that's going to be another benefit going forward. Lower rate of inflation. You take a look at manufacturing companies and how many manufacturing companies that do business in the United States have increased manufacturing activity. Nearly 6 in 10 of them. We have over 244,000 more manufacturing jobs now than we did on January 20th. So the tariff policies have been effective in helping bring jobs into this country, and they're continuing to grow. All of these things act as a tailwind and it's just the tip of the iceberg. And so we've got to make sure that we're doing our part to continue the success of Trump. And that means every election, every opportunity, we get out there and vote. Pick up there next. I'm Brian Mudd in for Klein Buck. Two guys walk up to a mic, anything goes.

Buck Sexton (Birch Gold Group Advertiser)
Gold is up around 40% this year. That's not speculation, that's reality. If a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold. You're missing the boat. Here are the facts. Inflation is still too high, our dollar still recovering and the federal government debt is not going down. This is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. But it's not too late. I recently bought more gold from Birch Gold Group and you can get in the door now.

A mayor for all of us. Yay. It's the I'm for people. She sounds like she's running for student body president. Anytime you hear her talk, she still sounds like she's in school and she still doesn't have much of anything to offer. And then the lemmings go and yay. I like people. Good luck New York City. Good luck to you. It's, you know, we're set up for unprecedented success all across this country this year. You got a tough road to hoe in New York City. Maybe, just maybe, the Trump influences enough to, to pull even that city through, but would not necessarily hold your breath. Now, we did have Adam that was ready to go from my neck of the woods in South Florida and had something that I wanted to address. Adam ready for you now. Welcome to the show.

Caller/Listener
Hey, Brian, good to hear your voice again on wid. I miss your show. Anyway, I really appreciate you listing off all of Trump's accomplishments. You're 100% right. Everything he's doing is fantastic. The problem is, and the reason the end of next year is going to be an absolute slaughter is because what is the GOP doing? What has the House done? What has the Senate done? We've got the save act pending because Thune has, you know, has morals and he doesn't want to, you know, destroy the filibuster, even though the Dems would do it in two seconds. What does Johnson put on the floor? Have we codified any of the dozens cuts. Have there been arrests? Have there been prosecutions of people who have actively committed fraud against our government, who have committed treasonous acts like Adam Schiff and the Russian collusion hoax? I mean, this is why the GOP is going to get slaughtered. They're not doing anything.
- [42:06]
Brian Mudd
Yeah, a couple things. So the GOP will get slaughtered if that mindset is assumed. When you take a look at what's been codified, the One Big beautiful Bill act codified almost the entire Trump agenda. That's why it was the One big beautiful bill. What have they done? I could spend a lot of time going through individual policies, pretty much Trump's entire agenda and well, one fell swoop. It's underappreciated. And that's all part of the point. Republicans have to get their heads out of their butts. Trump supporters have to get their heads out of their butts and realize what's on the line here. It doesn't have to be a repeat of 2018 and somewhat I've got going and I'll bring this to you coming up next hour is why this is going to be different, why this can be different. There's a path, but it's only going to be better. If we choose not to make the same mistakes we did back in 2018 and if we just sit there and go, but this issue, but that issue, and so Republicans suck, you're going to get a similar result. We can do better. Be right back. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of Truth.

Day delivery with Shipt, but it's so much better since I signed up for target's circle 360. Why? Because I no longer pay price markups from the majority of stores through Shipt. Only a handful of alcohol retailers and items don't count. That means no markups on groceries, pet food, even home goods and makeup. So to recap, I have more time to catch up on life while someone shops for me and I spend less. It's a win win. Order now@shipt.com 360 terms apply. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed.
