Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We're going to dive into some more of the manufacturing of the narrative by Democrats around the ice involved shooting a lawful use of force. According to the federal government and according to anybody who understands use of force and has seen the videos, that is being honest. You're, you're allowed to say that something is lawful while it is also sad. In fact, that often is the case. And in this instance, you know, you don't want someone to lose their life, but this is something that was brought upon law enforcement by someone who unfortunately was acting in a deluded and really selfish fashion. You do not have the right to, to stop law enforcement from engaging in lawful activity because you don't like it because you've watched too much Ms. Now that is not acceptable and there can be very serious, serious consequences. This is also why, Clay, I hate the lying down in traffic thing that leftists do, or blocking bridges, all these things that are blocking highways. These are reckless, babyish and destructive things. And you would think that law enforcement really more than anyone else because they have to deal with the recklessness and the babyishness of race communism, which is the central belief now of the Democrat. I guess it's really race gender communism, to be fair, but that's long. And I don't want the acronym, I don't want the race gender communism, we could call it that. And you would think law enforcement in particular would have a very negative view of this, of this situation and of approaches that privilege people who are breaking the law because they happen to be in a protected demographic or a favored group among the left. And with that, Clay, I bring you this Portland Chief of Police now, just by way of background, right after the shooting of. Her name was Good, right? This woman, Renee Good. Renee Good, Yes. I realized this. I said it was a, it was a good shoot last week. I did not mean that as a, I truly did not mean that as a play on words. That is just what lawful or a good shoot is how people will refer to these things. So that gets a little bit confusing. But yes, her name was Renee Goode. And like I said, I don't, I don't find any, any humor in what happened to her. I think it's tragic, I think it's sad. It shouldn't have happened. I think that a lot of people, Clay, who take the anti ICE rhetoric to these extremes we're hearing day in and day out, I think they bear some responsibility because they're convincing, unfortunately, easily misled and not particularly bright and pretty sad people to do things like what Renee Goode did. So I do think that there's blame, you know, there's that blame that should be on those who are lying about what's going on, all the rest of it. But you would think a chief of police, although these days we know that even chiefs of police are often big purveyors of gender, race, communism. You think a chief of police would be upset at people who are members of, say, Trenda Aragua. And last week there was another ICE involved, or actually it was Customs Border Patrol, but immigration officer involved shooting in Portland. And I think it was southeastern Portland. And it was initially reported as that. I read this on the show. Believed to have ties to Trenda Aragua, which is a horrible, violent transnational drug cartel based in Venezuela. It's actually a prison gang that's now a drug cartel and designated terrorist group, I might add, because they do horrible things. If you learn about these groups, Clay, it's really hard to have sympathy for them. You know, they. They find informants and they, like, lop off their arms with machetes and they send the video to their families. These are horrible people, okay?
- [04:00]
C
Horrible people.
- [04:02]
A
And it turns out that the people that were shot trying to run over an ICE officer in Portland were part of Trenda Aragua. Here is how the Portland police chief, Bob Day, talks about this issue. Play.
- [04:16]
D
Ted, There is an association with the two folks yesterday and tda. I hesitated to even share this information initially because I'm very aware of the historic injustice of victim blaming, oftentimes portrayed by law enforcement, including this very agency that I've represented so proudly for so many years. I want to speak for just a moment specifically to my Latino community. It saddens me that we even have to qualify these remarks, because I understand, or at least have attempted to understand through your voices, your concern, your fear, your anger. This information in no way is meant to disparage or to condone or support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday.
- [05:18]
A
Clay, I think if you live within Portland city limits and this guy's the chief of police, this is enough. I would move. You're unsafe. You're unsafe. This guy's chief of police. You are not safe in that city, never mind everything else going on.
- [05:30]
E
So when I hear and see things like this. You mentioned the Jacob Fry crying at the George Floyd funeral. Like, on one knee, bent down, like tears pouring down.
- [05:42]
A
He wasn't wearing kente cloth like Nancy Pelosi was when he did it though. So was it really in earnest?
- [05:47]
E
Yeah, well, I mean, the FBI agents who now have been fired that took a knee to your point, all of the congress people that, that, that took knees, it's performative. And are they in some way? I, I just, I, it's where I look at it and I say Democrats are basically the school play kids, right? The school theater kids grown up and they're just emoting because they think that the party is basically founded on emotion and so it connects with people. I don't understand how you could be a police officer and cry like this over this incident. And I don't mean that somehow I'm saying you shouldn't cry ever if you're a police agent. Look, if you go to a school and kids have gotten shot, I can see how the emotion of that awfulness could strike you. If you're a dad, if you're a mom, mom and you're trying to get through discussing one of the crimes that just took place. There are lots of innocent people that are victims of violent crime. But here, these are gangsters that should not be in our country that are totally taking advantage of law abiding citizens.
- [07:01]
A
And tried to run a cop over with their car.
- [07:04]
E
Yeah, he should, he should be forced out. And again, we talked a little bit about Portland last week and I used as an example the fact that Portland was going to get a major league baseball franchise and instead because the downtown Portland area has become such a dumpster fire, it looks like Salt Lake City is going to get it. And so that's a small thing, but it is a tangible consequence of a city that has lost its way and what is happening to the residents of that city in a negative way, in theory as a result. But issues like this are taking place everywhere. Buck, I was reading this morning as I was getting ready for, for the show, the number of billionaires that are basically just saying, I'm out on California over this crazy 5% wealth tax that they're trying to put in place on billionaires, which I don't think is constitutional to be clear to everybody out there. And I know a lot of you are listening in California and you may, may know about it, but I think a lot of people nationwide don't know. Buck, if you're basically worth over a billion dollars, California has just decided they're going to tax you on 5% of your net worth, even if that net worth has never been realized. So whatever stock you own, whatever assets you own, you're going to pay 5%. Now they say it's a one time thing. Do we think it's going to be a one time thing? I would get the hell out of California if I were super wealthy. And the Google guys are buying in Miami. The Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who are the two founders of Google, they are leaving. David Sacks has announced that he is pulling a lot of his assets and a lot of his, you know, assets and employees out of California. This is going to have a real tangible impact in a negative way on the state.
- [08:52]
A
I got to tell you, Elon is a, I truly believe Elon is a, is a convert and has done incredibly important things to that end on top of running his businesses. I think David Sachs is a straight shooter and sees things the way they are and has been moving in this direction for a long time. This is my way of saying there are some, you know, Peter Thiel has been a conservative donor, you know, spoke at the RNC like he's been on the team a long time. There have been some that are on the team a long time or have really proven their bona fides. Then you've got these super tech bros worth billions who funded the lunatic street monsters of the left who funded the suppression of us during COVID and directed it from their purchase, who were fine. And I'm going to say this like the rest of the guys on that all in podcast. I'm just going to point this out. You all voted for Obama pretty much. You just figured out that this was a bad idea. Guys, you just figured this out in this last election. Maybe. Maybe they seem like good guys. Well, most of them do. They seem like good guys, but they couldn't figure this out. Again, David Sacks aside, he's part of the administration. The rest of those guys, I don't know their names, but I see little clips of them sometimes. So you got super rich in Silicon Valley and you didn't think that, you know, women can have penises was a problem until now. You just figured this out now, really? You didn't think this was a problem when that guy who donated to Proposition 8 or whatever, you know, the Mozilla guy, Brendan Ike, he got run out of town because he supported traditional marriage when Barack Obama supported traditional marriage. I'm sorry, I just. These people basically ruined the state of California and now they're fleeing and they had, they had the means and the ability to stand up to it and they actually went the other direction. And now the monster, now the crocodile is eating them last and they're fleeing to my state. I got Problems with it.
- [10:52]
E
I, Look, I, I totally get it. My general proposition is I don't like to cast stones with people when they make rational decisions, I'll welcome them whenever they come in. My concern is that a lot of those guys are not true, true believers. And they're. And look, if you went, this is.
- [11:12]
A
What, this is what I'm saying I'm carving out. The converts are fight. Elon's a convert. Elon used to be a Democrat. I get it. And then they trained his kid and now he's like, war. I'm fighting for American Western civilization. I love you. Yeah, I think you gotta. But I think some of these billionaires who are like, you're going to wealth if you've waited until now.
- [11:31]
E
Yeah, yeah.
- [11:32]
A
And now you're like, it's too much. Oh, because they're coming for your pocketbook in a way that you actually can't evade effectively. That's all this is.
- [11:39]
E
No, look, I think a lot of these guys have avoided getting credit crushed by California tax because their actual income is not that substantial. And people say, what do you mean by that, Clay? A lot of these super rich guys, they don't actually show that much income on their yearly tax returns because they've got so much stock. Right. Let's say you've. You're fortunate enough to have several hundred million dollars or some of these guys. Billions. Several billions, sometimes hundreds of billions. And in stock, you never sell it. You just borrow off the stock value. And so you're never paying substantial tax on your lifestyle because you've got this basic bank roster of borrowing. And that gets a little bit nuanced. So they're not paying the 60% tax that theoretically you would expect for them to pay, which is where this 5% is coming in. And they're now saying, hey, we're going to take 5% of all of your wealth. And a lot of these guys, to your point, are suddenly saying, wait a minute. I thought that I had, you know, sort of socially engineered my way out of being impacted by the awfulness. And now, now they're afraid of getting popped.
- [12:53]
A
This is, this is just as. This is people who were like, pro BLM until all of a sudden, you know, there were like protesters and fires going on the streets near their country club. And they're like, maybe BLM isn't a good idea.
- [13:06]
C
That was.
- [13:07]
E
Yeah.
- [13:07]
A
Do you remember?
- [13:08]
E
I don't remember who the person was, but BLM actually protested in their building, like, got past their security guards. Do you remember that? When that person was like, I'm all for protest, but they, they're, now they're in my, they're in my building. Like they've, they've made it past my security. And you're like, oh, it's interesting how as soon as you actually have to bear the consequences of the choices that you have made, you don't want those consequences to exist anymore.
- [13:35]
A
This is why the, the mortal sin of the Democrat, and there's many of them, but the mortal sin that is hypocrisy. They're all such hypocrites, Clay. The like. I'm, I'm getting more and more interested and involved in Miami beach politics, for example, because I think this place is very well run. I think it has an incredibly bright future separate from Miami City, by the way. It's its own city. I think this place is fantastic. And unfortunately, it's crazy expensive now, but it is a great place. I think that more and more people need to understand that Democrats, what they say they want in public for different places is not actually what they want for the community that they live in. And this is, this is completely inexplicable, completely lacking in principle. You know, the Nancy Pelosi. Now look, Nancy Pelosi, something terrible happened to her husband, for example, because San Francisco became such a zombie apocalypse, you know, loony bin because of policies that Democrats push. But until it gets. And by the way, now they've got a more rational mayor in San Francisco. Until the rich people who sit on the Morning Joe panel, you know, the multimillionaires, you know, the Donny Deutsch and Joe and Mika and the whole crew, until the crazies are swinging hammers at them in their homes, in their gated communities. They can just take whatever positions they want for everybody else that make them feel good. You can pretend that crime isn't, isn't more common in certain communities or some places and taking a permissive approach. And this is just why the whole California thing, Clay, these people that you're a multi billionaire, what risk do you really run? Oh, they're going to be mean to you at the next, you know, the next south by Southwest or whatever, Tech Summit or TechCrunch is going to write a mean article about you cowards.
- [15:22]
E
You're. This has been my thing for a long time. If you have FU money, what the hell do you care what somebody says about you? I, I, I just, I mean, I get it when you have to pay a mortgage, when you got to keep a job, why you have to be you have to bite your tongue. These guys being cowards and not standing up for what they should have stood up for because they're worried about being on a board. Or to your point, what somebody's going to write about them in the on the Internet. Like sack up.

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. We will get some of your calls. We'll take some of your talk facts as we continue to roll throughout the course of the program. Just see Caroline Levitt has been up on Fox News talking about the situation in Iran. We will dive into some of that with you as well. Plus, Buck, I was saying earlier, tomorrow there is a transports case. I bet we'll be talking about this some tomorrow. But it makes me wonder what in the world have we created when the Supreme Court is going to have to weigh in on whether men can play girls sports, boys can play girls sports. It's all bonkers.

I'm excited to hear Sotomayor's questions on this. I'm just going to tell you, I can't wait to hear Sotomayor be like, but are women really usually smaller and weaker and less strong than men? Can we really say that?

E
Oh yeah. He's going to say there are no biological differences between, between the sexes. I feel very confident about that because she's a crazy left wing advocate, not even a decent jurist. But if you want to save a bundle right now to start off the 2026 year, you might be looking at that budget and saying, hey, you know what, we spent more than we expected on Christmas New Year's costs more than we anticipated. Maybe 2025, you didn't stick within your budget as much as you would like to. Maybe you got credit card balances that are higher than you want. You know, you can save 600 to $1,000 with Pure Talk on your cell phone bill over the course of a calendar year.

Three gigs of high speed data, get hooked up. £2 5 0, say Clay and Buck. You'll save an additional 50% off your first month and that's £250, say Clay and Buck.
- [19:56]
A
Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. So they've decided to make this a big issue. I think it's the ice shooting in Minnesota. Notice the Portland shooting they're making.
- [20:06]
E
Well, no one died. That's a big part of it.
- [20:08]
A
To be fair, I think they were just wounded. But there were also Trenda Aragua members. So you have, you have people that aren't even supposed to be in America at all who are also while illegally here breaking a Whole range of our laws, in addition to their illegality. And the Democrats don't want them to leave either. The Democrats are on the trinity, gets to stay team over the ICE gets to enforce the law. And this is. This is showing the American people something very important. We've said this for a long time. Democrats have pretended to be largely in line with Republicans when it comes to things like, broadly speaking, wanting border security, broadly speaking, wanting to deport illegal alien criminals. Right. So we have to add that. That's. So that's. You're here illegally and you, you know, killed somebody with vehicular homicide because you were blowing, you know, 0.25 or something. Right. I mean, these are the things that we thought we were supposed to have agreement with. We don't at all, actually. Democrats don't want any of that. They want to import the third world. They want to change the country as rapidly as they can. They want the lawlessness, they want the fraud, they want the government dependence, they want gender, race, communism, and this is how they think they can bring it about. And that's what's going on. But I bring you, Clay, some of the. Some of the leading spokespersons of the left, including members of Congress and how they speak about this. Representative Ilhan Omar, you know, she's going to take a radical view on this one. She's a Somali refugee to this country. Doesn't really. Do you ever sense that she is grateful for America?
- [21:56]
E
Have you ever seen it in any way?
- [21:57]
A
Have you ever seen her give a speech where she's like, you know, this country's amazing. Somalia is a hellhole, which it is, by the way. But I. This country's amazing. Thank you, America, for. No, no, not how she approaches it. And yet here she is speaking about our law enforcement agents. This is cut 14. Play it.
- [22:13]
B
This agent, as you see, gets out of his car, automatically starts running towards her, trying to open her door. She feels scared. She tries to turn the wheel away. And then you see the other officer, who can clearly see the car is moving, move towards the front of the car, which if they are saying that he has 10 years on service and is trained, he should know that you shouldn't be trying to get informed front of a moving car. And so it is not acceptable for Kristi Noem and the president and the vice president to make these kind of judgments without there being a full investigation.
- [22:55]
A
Clay, she just said the problem here is the ICE agent should know to dive out of the way of the car that's trying to run them over and get away. This is. This is now where we are. This is. This is a step away from. The cop should know to dodge the bullet when the gang member fires it at him like it's on him.
- [23:15]
E
Here's. Here's my big take here. As we have surged a thousand more ICE agents. I've got two potentially controversial. So get your popcorn takes here. One, everyone who shows up and tries to obstruct an ICE investigation should be arrested on the spot immediately. Because what they are trying to do is create the situation like occurred that cost this woman her life. So there should be, number one, no lenient treatment at all for people who decide that they're going to show up and try to combat the. The. The ICE agents from being able to do their job. Just like, again, I've made this argument. I haven't heard anybody point back and even argue otherwise. What would the reaction be if this instead of ice, had been the Minneapolis police and they were conducting a raid to arrest someone in Minneapolis who had violated the law and this woman had shown up and parked her car perpendicular on the. On the street and started honking her horn? I think she would have been arrested for obstructing the investigation by the Minneapolis police, as well she should have. Why would she not be arrested? Why should every one of these individuals not be arrested? That's point one. Point two, I think the wife should be arrested. I haven't heard a lot of people talk about this, but drive, baby, drive. While also obstructing the ICE investigation. This woman, who it appears her partner was listening to and then took off, she was the incentive. She was the part of the culprit of the way this incident went down. And so to me, she committed a crime, too. Now, I'm not sure they're going to arrest her because I'm not sure they want to sort of accelerate this story. But to me, she is guilty of a crime as well. And I don't hear very many people talking about this. But to me, this compulsion that it seems to be mostly white liberal women feel to show up and try to combat ice, it's a crime, and we should start treating it as such. You should be arrested when you show up and you in any way try to inhibit the ICE agents from being able to do their job. And by the way, here's a cut from Chicago. Now. This is from October. Our team pulled it. Superintendent of Police Larry Snelling. He's telling city residents, basically what I'm telling you, which is do not create these situations. This is a threat and it can be lead to a response of deadly force. Again, this is from October, and I don't know what he'll say now if he were asked about it, but I thought this was well said back in October.
- [26:11]
C
Federal agents, ICE HSI are officers. They are agents of law enforcement. If you box them in with vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe that they are being ambushed and that this could end in a deadly situation. And it's reasonable for them to use force based on those conditions. Do not box in any law enforcement officer. You are breaking the law when you do that and you are putting yourself in danger. If you ram any vehicle, especially that one that contains law enforcement agents, and that's any law enforcement, local, state, federal, county, and you do this intentionally, this is considered deadly force. And they can use deadly force in response to stop you.
- [27:12]
A
I mean, Clay, when I was in the CIA a long time ago, a young agent getting my. Not agent officer, as we know, but people say agent so much, even creeps into my verbiage. A young CIA officer. And you go to the farm, which is our training facility. There have been books and movies written about it. There's a whole series of driving stuff. I know Clay's gonna be like, you learn that stuff, Clay, Just because I don't deploy it, because I'm worried about your safety and trying to go the speed limit like a law abiding fellow doesn't mean I don't know how to do these things. Although it's a perishable skill. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna pretend like if you don't do that stuff and you aren't out there and you're not involved in driving in the third world and doing these kinds of things, you will forget. I mean, it's like, it's like a sport. It's like anything else. The kind of is like high speed, precision driving stuff. But Clay, part of what we learn and part of what anybody will learn in a government kind of secret agent man driving class is your car is a very effective weapon. I don't know why these Democrats pretend like we don't know this. Cars have been used exclusively, meaning just cars, in mass casualty terrorist attacks. A car used as a weapon is incredibly lethal and can cause a mass casualty.
- [28:22]
E
Happened in the Milwaukee suburbs not very long ago. I know nobody wants to talk about it, but you remember the black guy who decided that he wanted to pour through and kill all those innocent people at the parade?
- [28:33]
A
Yeah, yeah. 80 people died. It was a truck, but 80 people died in Nice, France, during the Bastille Day celebrations because of a terrorist. There was a terrorist in New York City. I think it was just a pickup. It was a rented U Haul pickup truck. And he drove on the. Near the west side highway and ran over a bunch of people. My point is, it is clearly a lethal incident. If somebody decides they're going to run you over and you, as a law enforcement officer don't have to make the determination. Are they trying to run me over or are they just going to run me over because they have forced this situation, you are allowed to defend yourself.
- [29:09]
E
Yeah. Look, and it was only a year ago we had the awful terror attack in New Orleans on New Year's Eve, right as New Year's Day began, remember, in the French Quarter, I think it was.
- [29:20]
A
We can't even remember all the vehicle terror attacks. There's so many of them. And vehicles are very effective weapon.
- [29:25]
E
Yeah, yeah. And. And so in conjunction with that, and I think this is an important part of the story as well, the guy got dragged by someone in a car trying to obstruct an ICE procedure just in the last year. So do you think that he might be. Have been uniquely aware of the dangers of vehicles? More so than most. And again, I think when you watch this entire thing in context, and I don't know if anybody has put all these different clips together so that you could go watch it showing up and honking her horn for three minutes while being perpendicular on the road as they are conducting the ICE raid, the ICE investigation, honking her horn, dancing along to it. The fact that she got trained to try to. I mean, why are we not prosecuting these people who are training these activists to show up and try to obstruct ICE procedures, ICE raids, like, all of this seems very clear, like, who's paying for this? How is that a grand criminal conspiracy?
- [30:33]
A
It was lied about on purpose. They lied about her being a legal observer. They lied about her being a mom on her way to the grocery store. None of that, if you saw the video, made any sense at all. It was clear very early on this was an intentional confrontation staged by. By the woman and her partner. And the whole point, though, Clay, is that they have 24 hours to get people who are low information, who are emotionally easy to manipulate, to get them all riled up about this stuff. And then they've. Then they're committed. And it's very hard to get people to admit that they were fooled and that they were wrong. You're seeing. You're seeing a lot of this with this incident where people that made this their big cause before knowing anything. They don't really want to look themselves in the mirror and be like, I'm kind of a moron and didn't wait for the facts and couldn't figure out what was going on here early on because it was pretty clear, remember?
- [31:33]
E
And I give credit to Aisha Hasny. I was on her show Saturday. She got a new show on Fox News. But Axios had a story up in the summer saying that the goal of Democrats was to get people shot at these protests. Their goal was to get active a shot so that they could try to shut this down. They wanted this to happen. That is the goal under which they are doing all of this training and why they are engaging in the behavior that they did because they want something just like this to happen.

Look, 25 to 30 years ago, one of the hottest products out there in the electronics store was the video camera.

Myoffer welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show let's try to get to a bunch of your calls. We got loaded lines right now. Let's go with. Well, we got first north of the border Marv in Windsor, Ontario, right across from my wife's hometown of Detroit. What do you got for us, Marv? Evidently, calls are not working. So we will take calls.

I've got a 15 second rant for you. That's all. Steve Kerr has got no influence on my thinking. He's a basketball coach. He teaches tall guys how to throw a ball. George Clooney is an actor and by profession he's a fake. These guys are no different than some guy standing in front of my grocery store telling me what I'm gonna put in my basket. If I don't want oranges and I want bananas, they should not have any influence on what I'm going to buy. And people are being influenced by this.
- [36:07]
E
Thank you for the call. They are being influenced by celebrities. Now, if your point is really dumb, people are influenced by celebrity opinions more than intelligent people are. I agree with you. But they do have an impact. And when they are able to make arguments that are untrue, as George Clooney often does, as Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers did, as Wanda Sykes did, I think it's important for you to be aware of what your kids and your grandkids might be seeing or Just what your friends and family might be seeing. Because when there's no pushback, we give way too much credit to celebrity opinion as a general rule in this country. And there are a lot of people they influence Colt in Missouri. Fire away, Colt.

Just a real quick question for you guys. I'll defer to your expertise. You've got states like California, Illinois, New York who are just constantly, constantly raising taxes. And this is not by mistake. This is by design, in my opinion. They're trying to raise the taxes so high that the average citizen has to move out those of those states. But when they move to Missouri, when they move to Florida or anything else, they don't just dump their Democrat ideologies, they bring it with them. So in my opinion, they're trying to force people into other states to turn them purple and, goodness forbid, blue. Thank you.

E
Thank you for the call. I. I understand that fear, Buck. You live in Florida. You move from New York to Florida. I'm a lifelong Tennessee. And one of the things that people come up to me the most in Tennessee to see and say is there's so many people coming from California, New York, Chicago. I'm afraid they're going to change the politics of this place that basically, like, they're going to destroy the places they move to, like locusts. I think the data right now positively shows that it's the people who are red voters that are finally fed up, like people like Buck who left New York. It actually makes those states bluer, unfortunately, because people like you are fed up.

Over a million more Republicans registered in Florida now, thanks to DeSantis tenure here and what has gone on nationwide with the move toward freedom and sanity and governance. So Florida is. It's very clear what's happened here. We just want to make sure that that trend continues. So I think it will. Clay, what magical journey are you going to take us on? In the third hour of the program.
