Third hour clan buck kicks off now. And as we discussed, we'll get to Dean Cain. He's got an exciting new movie, Little Angels. We'll talk about it. But Trump and Elon just went live from the White House. Let's join them in progress.
Donald Trump
He's really not leaving. He's going to be back and forth, I think. I have a feeling it's. It's his baby and I think he's going to be doing a lot of things. But Elon's service to America has been without comparison in modern history. He's already running one of the most innovative car companies in the world. You look at his factories and compare them with some of the old factories we have, and it's a big difference. And the most successful space company and I guess in history, you would have to say the largest free speech platform on the Internet, et cetera. Yet Elon willingly, with all of the success, he willingly accepted the outrageous abuse and slander and lies and attacks because he does love our country, I know that very much. He loves our country, comes from another country, a country that's going through trials and tribulations, I would say. But he's all about the usa and Americans owe him a great debt of gratitude. So I just want to thank Elon for his time as special government employee. Can you imagine? They call him an employee, but it's a special government employee and for coming and helping us. And he really has changed the mindset.
Dean Cain
Of a lot of people.
Donald Trump
A lot of people thought, you know, maybe we'll cut 1% or 2% or 3%. Then they said, well, we can cut a lot more than that and we're going to do it very surgically. We're going to continue on the march. We're making America great again. When I was in Saudi Arabia and we were in, as you know, three really great countries, predominantly the three, Qatar was great, UAE was great. Saudi Arabia, incredible. What like such an incredible experience to be in those three countries. But the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, and I must tell you, the leaders, the great leaders of the other two that we just mentioned, they all said the same thing, that the United States is the hottest country right now anywhere in the world. And six months ago, we thought it was dead. It was like a dead country. And it would have been a dead country if we didn't have the right result on November 5th. It would have been a horrible.
Buck Sexton
All right, so there we have it. This is really just a send off for Elon after which is what we thought, special government service. And I think Elon did a great job. We're joined now by actor Dean Cain. You remember him from back in the day as Superman, but still doing great projects out there. His new movie out next week is Little Angels. We'll get to that in a moment. But Dean, I just wanted to because I know you also are a guy who follows politics. You're a conservative commentator in your own right. What do you think about Elon's tenure in the government? You hopeful for how this goes in the future?
Dean Cain
Oh, yeah, extremely hopeful and super happy about what he did to expose a lot of waste, fraud and abuse and to modernize our systems. I mean, I've been around those government computers. I know you've seen a government computer or two in your day, sir. And just to step.
Buck Sexton
They're still operating on DOS systems. In some places you have to blow on the floppy disk to get it to work.
Dean Cain
It's insane. It shouldn't be. It shouldn't be that way. And so I think we're going to modernize a lot of that. And I think his, his impact will be studied for a long time. I think it's a sort of an inflection point, a tipping point. And I am super grateful and thankful to Elon Musk for the service to this nation. It's been unbelievable.
Buck Sexton
Yeah. Isn't it amazing as well though, that there was such, such opposition to him that people were even suggesting that his companies. I mean, we go back now at all, right, Dean, it all seems. Well, of course people are saying they're lighting Tesla's on fire. He's destroyed his brand. The markets have spoken. It's like. Well, now Tesla has gone through the roof and Elon's going back to his amazing companies and he exposed waste, fraud and abuse. And it looks like Lex Luthor has been defeated.
Dean Cain
Absolutely true. I mean, they, they opposed him. They're for, for trying to point out waste, fraud and abuse in our government. The most insane thing I've ever seen. He's. And he is phenomenal. And, and during all this time where they were firebombing Tesla's new. That stuff, I did my little part and my son did his part. We, we both got new Teslas to support Him. Because at first I didn't realize how good those cars were. And I was against the EV mandate. Don't tell me what I have to do. But then all of a sudden, you know, they started firebombing his, his companies and his Tesla. I was like, this is insane. Let me take a look at the Tesla. I sort of did it as a lark and then I got in that thing and it's insane. So it's the fastest car I've ever been in. Love it. Love his, his look forward. I mean, his, he's a groundbreaking man. And like I said, I think we're gonna look back forever in history and go, thank you, Mr. Musk.
Buck Sexton
I agree with that, by the way. And I think that everyone should be thankful that we had somebody with his skill set. If he couldn't do it, nobody could do it. I really mean that. You know, I agree. This was a job for somebody of his ability, his specific abilities, you know.
Dean Cain
Which is different than the linear thinking of everybody in Washington.
Buck Sexton
Yeah, of course. Well, for them it's just, well, this is how the machine operates. And the machine is so big we can never change it. Right. He's almost.
Dean Cain
This machine doesn't work.
Buck Sexton
Yeah. Which you would think would be a big deal, right? You say, hold on a second. I think the machine's supposed to work. No, no, no, no. If you're in D.C. long enough, Dean, the machine is, is defined by dysfunction. That's the way it's supposed to be.
Dean Cain
And it's too big and it's awful.
Buck Sexton
So let's, let's transition here and do into more of the entertainment side of things and your work. First up, I do want to give you a chance to tell everybody at the movie coming out next week, Little Angels.
Dean Cain
Yes.
Buck Sexton
What do they need to know?
Dean Cain
Okay, so Little Angels, go tolittle angels movie.com and then press theaters and demand it be in your area if it's not in your area. It's a very family friendly film, but it deals with sports because I'm a sports guy through and through and through. I played every sport under the sun growing up. In college, I was a three sport guy. And then I went to the NFL for the Buffalo Bills for a short time before I got injured. Then I had to just go find something else to do. So I, I decided to take a lesser role, be an actor and play Superman. So it was a great thing. So this movie, I wrote it, I produced it, I directed it, I did everything. If you don't like it, it's my fault 100%, but it deals. I mean you have a six month old or something like that, right? So your kid won't watch.
Buck Sexton
Six week old, six weeks. He's just a little chunk man. He's just starting to smile now. Yeah, that's.
Dean Cain
Congratulations. Best thing in the entire world. I'm a single father. My son's 20, almost 25 years old. He's my best friend. He's my favorite human being. So you got your little, your little mini me there. Congratulations. If he has anywhere near the thickness of your hair, he's going to be just fine.
Buck Sexton
You know what, can I just say this, Dean, we think he does, except he's a redhead, so he's going to, he's. We got to. My dog's name is Ginger. I don't know how this is going to work out, but my son's got red hair for sure.
Dean Cain
He's going to be Ginger the second.
Buck Sexton
Yeah.
Dean Cain
Wow. Well done. My son had blonde hair and I'm. And it's gotten darker, but yeah, you never know what you're going to get in that genetic lottery. You never know what's going to happen. But as far as family entertainment goes, Little Angels is all about that, but it's also about, you know, I learned so, so much playing football and sports and. And you learned that you can't do it by yourself. You learned that you got to be part of a team. You have to learn how to deal with losing, how to deal with people picking on you, judging you. It's all life lessons. And I learned more playing football than I could ever explain. And I try to get a lot of those life lessons through in this film. And the kids are great and you really fall in love with the girls. It's a story of a, of a college football coach who like a Nick Saban, wins the national championship. Again, very cocky and cocksure and full of himself. And then he gets in trouble for saying something stupid about a woman kicker on his own team and he ends up having to go coach under 13 year old girls soccer. And he doesn't like kids and he doesn't like soccer. So he has to adjust his world to do this. It's a bit like Mighty Ducks. And if it has one iota of the success of Mighty Ducks, then I'll be a happy man.
Buck Sexton
Yeah, well, I mean my producer Mark, who's, who's on, on, on vacation right now, on leave right now. Who's one of our guys on the show. I've worked with them for many years. I believe Mighty Ducks is his favorite movie of all time.
Dean Cain
So it's, it's an underdog story. It's a story of coming together as a team. So he's got good taste. Hopefully he'll switch over and like Little Angels more.
Buck Sexton
Well, I was gonna say I gotta get him to watch Little Angels and give the full review. Speaking of reviews, you know, it's. This is getting a little too chummy on this interview, okay? I want to get rough. I want to create a little. A little heat. Mr. Dean Cain. All right, You' hot seat now. Superman might be pulling out a little kryptonite, my friend.
Dean Cain
My kryptonite is women. My kryptonite is women. Unless you're pulling out a beautiful lady.
Buck Sexton
Whoa.
Dean Cain
I'm in good shape.
Buck Sexton
This just got Freudian.
Dean Cain
This is what my dad said.
Buck Sexton
Let's, let's, let's, let's look at the movie review for a second.
Dean Cain
Okay.
Buck Sexton
Mission Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning. Okay. And let me just say this. I am a overall Tom Cruise, maybe the most successful actor financially of all time. I love. I mean, Top Gun is an absolute epic. I love it. I love Top Gun, Maverick. I'm not anti Tom Cruise at all. And I think the first Mission Impossible movie is a lot of fun. I haven't really seen some other ones, so I jumped in on the 2023 movie, which is now on. I think Amazon prime is where I was watching it because my wife is gone. I got a little time, so now I can watch the movies. I think she, like, probably wouldn't like, you know, so. Yeah, so that's the thing. Like, I, I binge the movies. Anything sci fi, you know, she's not in any of that. But I was like, I'll try this. Dead Reckoning, Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning. I think it is just trash.
Dean Cain
It's the new one in the theaters.
Buck Sexton
No, no, no. The second. It's the one that's. You can watch at home now. I don't go to theaters. You know, it's too. A lot of people don't. People talk. I get too frustrated. But, you know, I like to be in my home. I'm a. I'm a. I'm the grump, the curmudgeon. Clay is like the more out. Out in the world people person. I'm very. I can be a little introverted, but here we go. Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning. I think it's trash. Everyone jumps on me. I didn't even know this. Clay apparently loved this movie. And in fact, he loves it so Much that he weighed in from his vacation with a talk back. You guys have it ready to go. And here's what he says about this Mission Impossible movie. Play it.
Unknown
Hey everybody, I'm here at Universal Studios, AKA a place where people who like to have fun go to have even more fun. It's Buck's miserable place. Much like his review of the first Mission Impossible Part 1, which he said was unwatchable. Excuse me. The greatest movie star of all time is confronted by the greatest obstacle of his career. An entity of AI intent on destruction of the world. And only Tom Cruise can save us from being destroyed. That's why everybody loved it. The greatest actor of all time against the greatest obstacle of his career. Tons of pratfall suspense and incredible action. And you could only hate it if you hate fun. I'm going to get on a roller coaster like all good red blooded Americans. And when I get off, I'll probably say thank you America for Tom Cruise.
Buck Sexton
I'm just gonna say this, Dean, before I have you weigh in before Superman picks aside here. Okay. Which is what's going on. I just wish they had hired like a script writer who knew how to write a movie. I don't know, I just wish that there was something that made sense. You don't have to agree 100% with either side. Who's more right on this one. And I promise, even if you agree with Clay, we'll have you back on the show.
Dean Cain
I appreciate that. Well, Clay sounds overly enthusiastic about it, let's put it that way. And so I would probably fall somewhere in the middle. I like Tom Cruise a lot. I like him as a person. I know him. He is the hardest worker that I've seen ever in this business. He works crazy hard. He's a perfectionist. But sometimes when you're making a movie, you can't be perfect.
Buck Sexton
No, I'm gonna let it go that Superman just split the baby. Fine, whatever. Superman, you're supposed to save the day. You're not supposed to fly down the middle, but okay, I'll let it go. Because you know Tom Cruise, I find that really interesting. What's he like?
Dean Cain
He's intense. He's as intense as he is when he's acting. But he's got a great smiley friendly side to him too. He's. I mean, I don't know him super.
Buck Sexton
Well, but you met him, you've interacted with him. I mean I played basketball with him, you could argue. Yeah, he's. Isn't he like five, seven?
Dean Cain
Yeah. What I would do Is I would drive the lane, draw everybody in, and literally shield them off with my body and this sort of hand. Can you pop.
Buck Sexton
Can he pop the J? Is he pretty good from the perimeter?
Dean Cain
I like his movies.
Buck Sexton
Ah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I don't know.
Dean Cain
I'd have. I'd rather have Michael B. Jordan take that shot or especially Michael Jordan.
Buck Sexton
Well, Michael. Either one of them particularly good. Interesting. No, because I respect Tom Cruise's body of work tremendously and I do think he's made a lot of great. It's not like George Clooney, who I just think is wildly overrated. I'm not even going to try to get you in trouble with that. Although he's a communist, so maybe. But I don't. I think Clooney, like, you think about his actual roles and his. In the movies. Yeah. Ocean's Eleven. They could have replaced him with 15 people and nobody. They could have replaced him with 11 other people. Nobody would even replace it with me.
Dean Cain
I would have been okay with it.
Buck Sexton
I think Dean came. Would have been way better. Yes. Personally. And you don't hate America, which is also America.
Dean Cain
Good point.
Buck Sexton
Yeah. So. So that's a. That's a really strong vote in your favor. But yeah, I just thought with Tom Cruise. Here's the thing, Dean, I need your help because we're in it. We're in a vibe shift now.
Dean Cain
Yes.
Buck Sexton
As the kids say, we're in a vibe shift now. Where conservative. Everything is on the march. More in the culture than it has been. Are you seeing that for independent filmmaking and. Or can you and I sit down and I will write a badass pro American script. I'm not saying I'm an actor script. And you could star and we'll do some. Some cool. You know, we'll do like Mission Impossible for right wingers.
Dean Cain
Yes, let's do it. Listen, with your knowledge. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. It would be too close to reality, probably. But. But I. But I give you the green light. I would love that. I would love to do a film like that that is pro America because I am supremely pro America. I travel the world. I get to go everywhere.
Buck Sexton
This is. This is my thing is that. Is that, you know, there's not enough content that we're America. So many of these movies, it's like, oh, we have a superhero. Oh, we have like a super spy. But actually the real enemy is internal. And I'm like, no, that's actually not always the case. Ok. Sometimes it's like Crimson Jihad and they want to Detonate a nuke in the Florida Keys like back in the day. Sometimes it is the. Is the shift though, Is it easier now? I mean, really. First of all, thank you, vote of confidence. Maybe you and I'll be talking about this. But, but, but is there a shift now where you can get conservative? I don't even forget traditional Americana style movies made now. Or is it closer to being that? At least I know it's not there yet. But is it moving there or is that just still unfortunately too far to make it happen?
Dean Cain
I think it's too far for Hollywood, but I think there are so many independent people, independent filmmakers who are pushing it that way. And I think the audiences are way more receptive because of the inauthenticity of this last administration. They're seeing the ridiculous lies and the things that were put out during the past four years and it's all being exposed now slowly but surely. And then you see this pro Americana push going through. And I think the, I think the culture is going to change tremendously within the next couple of years. And so we got to get our movie out soon. Buck, you got to get right and starting tomorrow because I do think there's time.
Buck Sexton
I'm not writing a book anymore, so I'm. I gotta start writing a screenplay. Like let's go. You, me, Kevin, Sorbo, Mel, we gotta have a dinner. It'd be like a meeting of the, of the four families and we'll get this thing in motion.
Dean Cain
Great meeting. I'll do it anytime. You tell me when. I know those guys both very well. So let's go.
Buck Sexton
I like, I like where your head's at. Tell me this, sir, where can people go for Little Angels again?
Dean Cain
Little Angels movie dot com. And then you hit theaters and it'll show where it's playing in your area and if it's not in your area, demand it and we'll put it over there if I have anything to say about it.
Buck Sexton
Dean Cain, the Superman for people who love America. Thank you so much, sir. Good to have you.
Dean Cain
Appreciate. Thank you, sir.
Buck Sexton
I have another Father's Day gift idea for you and it's from Rapid Radios. Their walkie talkies are next level technology, not to mention a great throwback to childhood when you used to play with those more simple walkie talkies. Think of Rapid Radios as those but kind of on steroids. They got new technology and they work in a way that you could have only dreamed of when you had a handheld radio as a kid. Fun to use, super handy voice quality Is excellent because rapid radios work on a nationwide LTE network, 100% private, no monthly fees or subscriptions.

Rapid radios combines the simplicity of walkie talkies with today's technology for peace of mind. I also think they're really important to have as part of your preparation plan. You know, yeah, you got to have like potable water, you maybe got some storable food, you got, you know, lights, you got things you gotta, you know, a hand torch, what do you call it, A flashlight. You got things you got to torch one of my British. But you got all those things together. I think also having rapid radios on hand is really good because it can give you communication option anywhere you can speak. If you have family in Omaha and you're in Utah and you got rapid Radios, those radios are working, you're talking.

I was actually just telling somebody, a friend this morning over coffee. He's like during the show, how do you choose your content? And I said well there's, it's, it's a bunch of things actually. There's, there's Clay and me and our producers who are New York based, all texting and sending clips and talking and that is like a 24 7. I mean I try not to text them past 9 o' clock but I'll email. You know, they, they get emails of show ideas that I have or, or segments I want to do at like 2 o' clock in the morning. Sometimes I can't sleep. So same thing with Clay. So we're always sending in stuff and producer alley, you know, you never have to answer any emails right until the next day. I just want to make sure. Sorry. Sometimes those emails come in late anyway, that's why I Email. I'm not calling anybody. I just send the emails. But we do this. It's a constantly evolving. You almost say that, you know, the living constitution, which I know we don't like, we don't agree with. It's almost like a living entity. The radio show. It's constantly evolving, and part of it is hearing from all of you as we do the show. I was telling somebody this morning, he said, so wait, you'll be talking on air to a few million people, and. Which is what we're doing here. And you'll be talking under a few million people. But if somebody writes a funny tweet and you see it, you'll talk about it on air in real time. Yes. And he goes, wait. And people will send in. They'll call. He knows about the calling because that's obviously been a hallmark of talk radio for a long time. But I said, yeah, we also have this talk Back thing. So he says, somebody can send you basically a real time voicemail. You'll hear it, and then they'll hear themselves, and it'll be played for 3 million people. And that's. And they just do this with their phone. Yeah. And that'll change the whole, you know, that we'll talk about that on the show. So I thought that was interesting. I never really explained to somebody before how that worked. And he thought it was fascinating, as you really do, that it is. Yeah. I can just tweet at you. And if it's funny, I'm like, if it's funny or insightful, yes. I will say it on the air. Or we'll reference it on the air. Or if you do AI showing Clay and Buck trying to swim from Alcatraz, for example, which seemed to, like, dominate the Clay and Buck Internet world for about 24 hours. I think Clay would make it. I think Clay would make it. You know, I do. I. I have faith in my buddy that from Alcatraz to the shore, he could do it. I think I could do it, too. I may need to doggy paddle a bit. You know, I'm not saying I'm not going to Riley Gaines this thing and look elegant and quick through the water, but I think I could do it. You know, I'm not as buoyant as.
Dean Cain
I used to be.
Buck Sexton
One of the downs. One of the only downsides. Not as buoyant. I was a little more flotation ready six months ago. But, you know, other than that, I think I could make it. All right, let's get into Trump and Elon and this conversation there, because there's what they said, which we'll play at some of the highlights. There's also, of course, the press getting some opportunities to push on some questions and. And put that out there. So I wanted to bring you this because this was just happening now and certainly worth our time to dial this in. Here is this is Trump giving examples. I think it's an important, important review. Trump giving examples of the kind of wasteful nonsense that the government was doing. Play 30, just as an example.
Donald Trump
Doge canceled $101 million for DEI contracts at the door. Department of Education. $101 million. And that was just a small section of the Department of Education. $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in New York City. And the landlord never made the kind of money that he made in the last short period of time. $59 million to a hotel in New York City. $45 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma. In Burma. Does anyone know about Burma? $20 million for Arab Sesame street in the Middle East. Nobody knows what that's all about. Nobody's been able to find it. $8 million for making mice transgender.
Buck Sexton
I didn't know about. I forgot about that one. I feel like we might have talked. $8 million for making mice transgender. That's $8 million. A lot of money. If I told you you had $8 million to start a foundation or a charity, or do you say, wow, okay, I can hire staff and get a facility and do some stuff. $8 million for transgender mice. I know that's in the federal government budgeting. A. It's. That's less than a rounding error. Right? And that says more about federal government budgeting than it does about anything else. We're spending way too much money. We're wasting way too much money. That's clear. But the stories here are important because stories are what? Stay with people. Numbers can all get mixed together. Is it 8 million? Is it 8 billion? Is it. You know, who knows? But wait, they were spending money to trans mice. The government was doing that. We were setting up scholarships for people in Burma. So think about that. There are Americans who are struggling to put their child into college, lots of them. And even those who can afford to do it. It's painful. It's a lot of money. Right? And yet your tax dollars are setting up scholarships for people in Burma. What is the compelling national security interest of scholarships in Burma? What is the compelling. Because, remember, this is all supposed to. It's not a global charity. That is not the purpose of USAID it is supposed to be to advance American interest. What is the purpose of the transgender puppet show in Guatemala or wherever it was? I forget. I think it was Guatemala. Well, the purpose was that the people who had government funds don't care and just want to push their own ideology, and that's it. They think it's their own private slush fund to do with as they please in these institutions of government. Well, hopefully that comes to an end, and that goes to the ethos of doge. It's not just Elon being there. It is setting this up in a way that there is now going forward, this space that is filled by people whose job it is to figure this out, show waste, fraud, and abuse. You know, maybe it's more like A. Like a 4 deployed action cell situation, meaning that there are times when we need it and you bring it together. There are times where you don't, and it's closed down. And wouldn't that be within the spirit of doge? It's not supposed to be some forever bureaucracy. They set it up. It's like a crisis cell in government. Right? You set it up. We got to do this. Done a bunch of things. It continues on. Here's Elon saying exactly that. This cut 31 doge is just getting started, everybody. This is not the end of doge, but really the beginning. My time as a special government employee necessarily had to end.
Clay Travis
It was a limited time things.
Buck Sexton
134 days, I believe, which ends in a few days. So that, you know, comes with a time limit. But the Doge team will only grow stronger over time. The Doge influence will only grow stronger. It's. I liken it to a sort of bosom of Buddhism. It's like a way of life. So it is permeating throughout the government. And I'm confident that over time, we'll see a trillion dollars of savings and a reduction in a trillion dollars of waste and fraud reduction. Trillion dollars of waste and fraud reduction. If this is seen through now, the rescissions package has to go to Congress. And the team checked. The Biden administration did spend millions of dollars on transgender animal experiments. Real thing. Real thing. Those of you who are in towns and cities, you're like, you know, we could use some money to, you know, I don't know, fix the water pipes that deliver our drinking water or whatever it is, right? We could use money for any number of things. Things. I don't think transgender mice was high on your agenda. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't Think transgender mice was something that you were like, you know, I'm so glad this tax day that a portion of the American people's tax dollars will go toward the trans mice agenda. I don't think that happened. You can call me crazy. So Elon is saying that this is going to continue on and that the essence of doge, or as I say, the ethos of Doge, is the thing that needs to keep going, because this cannot continue as it is. We have seen what it means when the government just expands like the Blob. And it's not good. It's not good for our rights, not good for our pocketbooks, not good for liberty. And that has to start to turn around. The receding of this will take, or I guess the recession, whatever. The way that this will begin to recede. There we go. Is that we continue to push and stay focused. It will take time. This is why I give the Trump administration in general on some of these issues, whether it's. We're talking about the FBI before we're talking about this issue. I give them some leeway here when it comes to the schedule, when it comes to the timing, because they're doing the things they said they would do. Trump is doing those things. And that alone is. Feels revolutionary. And I think we're a little spoiled. I'm just going to say this. I think we're a little bit like the. Some of us are a little bit like the spoiled kids, where we said, you know, I want an ice cream cone. I want an ice cream cone. And we gave him one right away. And now we go, I want another ice cream cone with the border. Because Trump solved the border so quickly and it was so successful. And it's just, you know, that's a big issue. And to totally transform that and to really, for now, at least take that off the table. I know interior enforcement, deportations, that's another piece of that pie. But to take the southern border offline as an issue because you solved it, not because you're ignoring it or you're. You're saying it's better than it is. I think that that's raised expectations to an impossible level for some people. Well, we do. You know, Trump fixed that. Why hasn't he fixed the debt? Well, hold on a second. It's $36 trillion, a lot of money. It's going to take a little time. And it's about, also, let's be honest, it's about the education of the American populace on these issues. The more we know about this, as A group. Now, I get it. There's the communists, there's the lunatic Democrats. They're never going to, you can't teach them, they can't learn. Fine. But if we have enough people who know and enough people who want to fix the problem, then it becomes possible. And so that's where I think there's a lot of power in what Doge has done, because this stuff is so absurd that it gathers, it gathers eyeballs, gains attention. And that's really important. As I said, stories are what stay with people, numbers get jumbled, stories stay. And the stories that Doge has told are very, very important. And then there's something else that came up which I think could be a bigger thing in time, a little bit separate from the Doge issue, but came up at the Doge press conference conference. So Peter Doocy of Fox News I5 Peter doing great work. Peter Doocy of Fox News asked Trump about whether Dr. Jill Biden, maybe she can take a break from her time doing heart surgery in the orbit. Dr. Jill Biden testifying about the usage of Biden's auto pen while he's president. Play 32. Do you think that Dr. Jill Biden.
Unknown
Should also have to come in and.
Buck Sexton
Testify about what she did or didn't do?
Donald Trump
Well, I hate the concept of it. It's the wife of a man who was going through a lot of problems, and everybody that dealt with them understood that. And I guess it came out during the debate loud and clear. That was a big, that was the biggest signal of all. They have to do what's right. The country was, there was a lot of dishonesty in the election as, you know, 2020 that's been now caught. People understand it was a rigged election. And when you go further out, when you see the auto pen, I mean, I think the auto pen is going to become one of the, the great scandals of all time.
Buck Sexton
Now, couple of things there some big takeaways there. Now, Trump is very calm, cool, collected. You know, his tone is very even here. Think about this, though. First of all, you're reminded Trump is not a vindictive guy. And he has that basic sense of like, male honor where he goes, look, it's, it's the guy's wife. You know, I don't, you know, you can tell he does not relish this prospect suspect because he knows and that this is a guy they tried to throw in prison. This is a guy that got shot through the ear. This is a guy who has been through it a million ways. And then some but he still has that sense of a real man doesn't want to get in between a man and his, you know, wife with this kind of thing of testimony to dementia and everything. Like, that's not. There's something that bothers Trump about that still. I think that's. It just shows you the guy that he is. He's not anyone. He's not a mean guy. He's not a mean guy. I'll tell you something, I think Biden, and not even talking about the dementia, I think Biden was a mean guy. I think he's a nasty, vindictive person. I really, I think all the, oh, I'm grinning and shaking hands, that was all malarkey. Not a nice guy. Not a nice guy. And you see this with his family. Look at Trump's kids. I think the kids tell you a lot, folks. I know I've only been a dad six weeks and I, you know, it's like my favorite thing in the world. But the kids tell you, look at Trump's kids. Kids are all amazing. I know all of them. They're all great kids. I mean, they're kids, they're, you know, they're like my age. They're in their 40s now, but they're all good, solid people. They're not perfect. No one's perfect, but they're good. They're, in fact, pretty impressive across the board, legitimately. You look at Biden, you go, look at this guy, this guy, this guy is a mess. His son grew up in decent crack addict. You can't even. This, this was completely overlooked. Okay, okay, I know I'm going down that pathway more than I want. We're running out of time. I wish I had. Well, I do have three more hours to do on Monday so we can return to this. But the other thing, he says this could be the biggest scandal, the dementia hiding by the media and the Democrat Party. That may not be the biggest part of the scandal. It might actually be the auto pen usage that happened as a result of that. That's what Trump just said. We're going to keep an eye on this. This is a big deal. Big deal. All right. Owning gold is, for me, the right move. I've owned gold, as you know, for a long time. I'm a gold guy. I believe in it. I'm a big history guy, too. So I've also known, hmm, gold been valuable for a long time. Has there been any kind of advanced economy in the history of the human race, any civilization, really, where they're like, hey, get that gold out of my face. That has. No, no, no. Gold. The ultimate store of value. I think Trump's doing great things. I think this economy's going to good places. But I also want you to be prepared for the uncertainties of our financial future and to diversify. So I'm talking about a portion of your savings, something you're very comfortable with, or transitioning an existing IRA or 401k into gold and using our friends at Birch Gold Group as the people that can help you accomplish this. I bought some gold from Birch Gold Group recently. It is in my safe. Gold coins, gold bars. I've got them there. And I build up my reserves over time. Now, obviously still have cash, still have savings, still believe in, you know, the stock market. I was talking before. Don't, don't sell your 401k entirely because of the dip or whatever. No, no, no. This is about diversifying intelligently with a portion of, of the money you've worked hard for into gold. Give you a bit of peace of mind and give you the upside potential of owning gold, which just look at it. Price of gold has seen great Appreciation last year, up 40%. 40 40%. And it just keeps. People say, oh well, gold's high right now. Yeah. Look at what it's done last 10 years. It keeps going higher because it makes sense, doesn't it? They're printing and printing and printing money. What can you do to offset this gold? Birch Gold Group is who I trust. Text my name Buck to 9898 98. Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold. No obligation, only useful information.

The episode delves into Elon Musk's recent involvement as a special government employee, following a joint press conference with former President Donald Trump.

[29:57] Donald Trump:
"They spent $101 million on DEI contracts, $59 million on illegal alien hotel rooms in NYC, and $8 million on making mice transgender. This is wasteful and doesn't serve American interests."
Buck critiques the misallocation of funds, emphasizing the importance of directing resources toward national priorities rather than ideological projects.
Notable Quote:
[31:09] Buck Sexton:
"The government was spending money on transgender mice and scholarships in Burma instead of addressing pressing American issues like education and infrastructure."
