Hello, it is Ryan. And I was on a flight the other day playing one of my favorite social spin slot games on jumbacasino.com I looked over the person sitting next to me and you know what they were doing? They were also playing Chumba Casino. Everybody's loving having fun with it. Chumba Casino is home to hundreds of casino style games that you can play for free anytime, anywhere.

And we have Democrats diving into a rough day in the markets trying to blame Donald Trump. Not a surprise there. Anything that goes wrong goes wrong is even too strong. Anything that isn't awesome, always Trump's fault. That is what they will tell us. That's because they don't have an agenda to speak of or at least one that they want to speak of right now, given how things are trending for Democrats. This is. Oh boy, we got a lot of this. Shifty Adam Schiff. This is cut 13. He's out there telling everybody Trump is destroying the economy. Play it. I was just listening to your guest precede me trying to explain that these tariffs, these on again, off again, tariffs are not about trade. Drug war and then. But next month it's a trade war, but now it's a drug war. It was incomprehensible. And he was also trying to say that numbers, job numbers that came in less than expected are somehow good news. They're destroying the economy and they're making it harder and harder for Americans to afford things. That's where we need to keep the focus. What is absolutely disgraceful. Adam Schiff know about the economy, really? Does he know more about markets and trade than Donald Trump? This is really fascinating. Does he really think he understands the marketplace better than the billionaire global media mogul real estate entrepreneur who has become president for a second time? I just with the entire machine arrayed against him, does he really think he knows more? Isn't that just an incredible amount of hubris for a truly oleaginous and shifty nasty little fellow in Mr. Schiff? Yes, he is. He thinks he knows more. He thinks he knows better. Or he just hates Trump, of course, because he couldn't throw him in prison. So now he'll continue with the same line of anti Trumpism that he has engaged in up to this point. Over at msnbc, they got the, they got the memo apparently from the dnc for whoever's watching, not that anybody really is. This is cut 14. Oh my gosh, there could be a recession. Play 14. I think what you're hearing from Trump is what we're also hearing from a lot of economists. Right. There could be a recession over the next 12 months. Right. By the definition of it. Consumer confidence is down. All of those things are true. And tariffs aren't great. He is finally kind of, in a way that he never has before, being really honest about the, that some of this may have. Right. When he told the farmers there may be a little bit of pain. That's probably as much as we're going to get out of him. Just a recognition that it's going to be much more difficult for folks before it gets better, if it does. Actually that's, that's pretty, pretty accurate in that Trump has been saying it and people talking about recession. Well, you know, not really. The recession is very straightforward. We know 2/4 of negative GDP growth. So that's it. We have a, we have a, a functioning definition which was the definition until there was that under Biden. But remember, they lied about the jobs numbers. They spent all this government money, meaning money by the government on government to seem like there are more jobs and to expand the economy through just expenditure, which is really debt. Debt used to make it seem. Imagine if you were like, hey, I'm not bringing in as much money as I need to for my household these days. So I'm just going to max out all my credit cards. But look at all the spending that I've been doing. Isn't that great? No, that's bad. It's bad. Don't do that. So this is where we are with the economy. Here is for a little bit of sanity on this stuff. Sanity check. Secretary of Commerce Lutnick has cut 12. He's just saying, look, it's gonna be a process, but we know where we're going, we know what we're doing. And the A team is in charge. Play it. The deal starts April 2. The deal starts April 2 of reciprocal tariffs. The President's gonna negotiate country. He's going to drive down other countries barriers, unleashing our farmers, our ranchers and our fishermen. They're going to explode in value. And the prices of American produce grow crops. Produce and fish are going to come down because our American industries are going to win around the world. Because finally, finally Donald Trump is behind them, protecting them. He's got their back and he's going to make them winners and that all of America is going to be winners because these prices are coming down and the process starts April 2nd. So he's saying, notice reciprocal tariffs. Reciprocal tariffs. This is very important. And I think that the Trump administration's moves when it came to China are a good indicator of how things are going to play out here initially, when Trump was taking actions against China. And remember, part of it is just the negotiation saying, hey, if you don't do X, we're going to do Y. If you don't play ball here, we're going to do something that you don't really want us to do. Right? That's, that's what negotiation is, isn't it? You give me this, I give you that. You don't give me that, I give you this, whatever. But on China, we were told, oh, it's going to lead to a trade war with China. And that forced a conversation, I'm Talking about term one now, 2016 to 2020 or 2017 to 2020, that forced a conversation which was, hold on a second. If it's so self defeating to have any of these trade barriers in place, why does China have so many of them? And okay, let's just take, for the purposes of conversation, let's take it as established that tariffs, and I don't take it as established, but just for purpose of conversation, let's assume that tariffs are something that countries do that help some within the country, but at the expense of the whole, so that they are taken as a whole self defeating, even though there are clearly are some beneficiaries. Right. We know that. Everyone knows that there are some beneficiaries to tariffs, but then it's, oh, there's a repricing and industry's less competitive. And I know the whole, I know the whole economic theory behind it. Why should China do this to us? And we just sit there and take it? But why does that make any sense? Why not get them to drop some of their tariffs by saying, look, if you don't do this, we're going to do that? That seems to make sense, doesn't it? He's talking about reciprocal. That was Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce, talking about reciprocal tariffs. And this is even the case, as I mentioned, with, with Canada, which has a lot of tariffs against the United States for our trade. And so this is where I think there's going to be a lot of hemming and hawing about what Trump is doing. But let's see first what actually happens here. And I do also think it's very important that there be enough time given to some of this. Trump has been in office two months, not even. Right. I'm trying to do the math in my head right now. It'll be two months soon. It hasn't been two months yet. And already we've seen a lot of very smart decisions with very smart people in place. And I would also note they'll call Elon Musk dumb. So they don't really care about reality at all, do they? The Democrats will attack the people who are clearly the most capable, you know, the most capable in the areas of restructuring, you know, corporate streamlining, building industry, just being really smart. There are a lot of really smart people around Trump right now, Trump being one of them. But there are a lot of really smart people around him that I don't think any serious person could argue are not highly. These people are not highly capable, very good at what they do. I mean, Elon is the most perfect example of this. He is the most incredible entrepreneur and corporate visionary of the era, Period, Full stop. There are others who are very, very good, but Elon is in a class by himself. He is the guy and he is donating a lot of his time to the government to help the government stop lighting money on fire and doing dumb things and lacking accountability and lacking transparency. And they, they'll call, they call him a dumb billionaire. The Democrats are saying this stuff. This is just appealing to the emotions of people who are incapable of self correction, who are incapable of taking on new data, new information and coming to conclusions based on that. They are, like I say, they are emotionally dug in and will not, will not move. And all they want to be told is that they're right, that they're smart, they're good, and everything else can be ignored. So on these changes that are being made right now, on the things that we see that are going on with the economy, specifically, ignore the haters. There is a strategy behind this and the strategy looks at the realities of what has been going on. Now there's also just going to be fun stuff like watching somebody who has been so damaging to a lot of things, but to the children of America specifically, I think she's, I think is Randy Weingarten aft. It's one of these big teachers unions. Teachers unions should be abolished. Let me just put that out there. Public schools should not have. There should be no union, no bargaining agreement for public schools. Sorry. The district, the state should set the Set the parameters. Hey, here's the job take. There should be no public sector unions for teachers, but huge source of funding and votes for Democrats nationally. Huge. So we have to deal with this. It is really a cartel. There's actually a very good movie called the Cartel. I forget the guy who made it about the teachers unions in New Jersey. It's outrageous. Outrageous, man. This was made like I think 15 or 20 years ago. But it is a cartel. And Randy Weingarten is one of the Padrones or no, whatever, the Feminine of Padrona. I don't know the, you know, the head of the cartel, whatever you call the head of the cartel. Cartel leader. There you go. Randy Weingarten, Chief Commissar. I like that better. Chief Commissar of the Teachers Union Politburo. And she is very upset over on MSNBC because Trump's going to try to get rid of the Department of Education. Plane 9 is why so many people are so mad about it, because they're just taking opportunity away from kids that don't have it. So billionaires. Kids are billionaires. They have it. They go to private schools. Everyone else, 90% go to public schools. Don't take away their opportunity. So let's stay on the facts. Sorry, I'm really angry about this. I'm really angry. I'm really angry. Notice how she immediately goes to the kids of billionaires. I think there are a thousand billionaires in the entire country. Am I, by the way? Am I, am I right on that one? I think it's something like that. It's maybe less than a thousand, but there aren't that many billionaires. But she immediately goes, plays the class warfare card like the lazy commissar she is. Immediately goes to the children of billionaires. Oh, I don't know. How about the Department of Education doesn't even fund public education. The Department of Education is just a slush fund and a policy shop for left wing radicals who want to indoctrinate kids and use the education system as not only an indoctrination system, but also for votes and for the Democrat Party to have the power base that it does, especially in cities where the teachers union, you can't get elected in a lot of these cities if the teachers union is against you, which is outrageous. And a public school system, as we know, gets more expensive all the time. Does not, does not improve results. Does not improve results. So. And Randy Weingarten, I have no sympathy. I have nothing but professionally contempt for her as somebody who wanted to make sure that A lot of teachers who by the teachers aren't in their 70s. The teachers in the public school system are in their late 20s, 30s, 40s. They all wanted paid vacations to stay home and pretend they were doing zoom learning during COVID So Weingarten made sure that Biden kept the schools closed. You remember that kids could suffer. Oh, she cares so much about the kids. Right? That's the big game that they play. You spend any time around anybody who's at the top of these teachers unions, you hear them, it's all a game to them. It's all about making sure that adults are in who are teaching, right? And when I say teaching, I actually should say who work for the school system because the administrative ranks of the public school system in this country have grown something like 6 to 1 in the last 20 years versus the teachers ranks. So they're just hiring all these people to coordinate among other people whose jobs are to coordinate among the people who are teaching the kids. Just larding up the payroll with as many, you know, what do you even do? I mean, how many vice principals can one school district use? Apparently a lot. All making 200, 300 grand depends on what you're talking about. What do they do? So that's what she's there to make sure that your tax dollars keep getting funneled to these programs that don't improve ever and that make sure that kids don't have choice, make sure that parents don't have any other options. You have to go to the school assigned by the commissars and you have to just do whatever the comrades tell you or else. And Trump says we're going to shake things up. They should eliminate the Department of Education and they should salt the earth once they've brought down the edifice where it currently stands. It has been nothing but downside when you look at the history of this, of this entity. So let's hope, here's hoping, this coming Wednesday before the show, join me and my dad online for a special videotaped interview. We're doing this at 11am in fact, 1102am Eastern, to be exact.

My dad actually went to Columbia University. Columbia University is having a tough one with Trump right now because there's some funding that is going to be at issue. Trump pulled $400 4 sorry, $400 million from Columbia over the very deep seated and crazy anti Semitic protest there. As you know, this is an Ivy League university, very elite. Alan Dershowitz, Professor Emeritus at Harvard Law School weighed in on this one and on Barnard specifically, which is a part of or affiliated with Columbia University, where all women's college play. 11 Barnard is not a real school It's a collection of programs that are radical. Here, for example, is the website of one of those groups. And this is, this is the university itself on its website saying smash the white supremacist hetero patriarchy. And that's what they're teaching these students. They're not teaching these students how to think critically, they're teaching them what to think automatically. And so this is the beginning. But until all funding is cut off for all of these fake university programs, we're going to see a continuation of this anti Americanism. That's one of my favorite Professor Dershowitz quotes. I got to say, Barnard is not a real school. Wow. Throwing haymakers. He's not messing around. But you know, you mess with the dirt, that's what you're going to get. Look, feeling secure in your home is everything. And making sure you have the right tools to protect yourself and your family is critical. I'm about to become a new dad and so I am very much attuned to the fact that my home is my responsibility when it comes to safety. That's where our sponsor Sabre comes in.

And so here we are now seeing that X, the company formerly known as Twitter, which he owns, he bought for $44 billion, has been hit by a quote, massive cyber attack. It has been on and offline pretty much all morning. A hacking group calling itself Dark Storm Team has announced on telegram that they are behind taking down X. Multiple times today this has occurred and people are analyzing, this isn't confirmed, analyzing that this group is pro Hamas. So that's, that's interesting. That'll give you a sense of, you know, whether these are, are they the good guys or the bad. Guys, beyond the shutting down free speech and attacking a private company and all of its users because they're throwing a tantrum. The whole pro Hamas thing, very good indicator that these are not the good guys in anything. And it's, it's amazing that any, any entity, any individual at all, could not see Hamas for what it is. I would just also point out that we talked about a moment ago what's going on at Columbia University with Trump saying they're going to pull hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants from Columbia. They should start to do this, I might add, for colleges and universities that don't abide by the Supreme Court's ruling on the illegitimacy of affirmative action and the use of racial preferences. I don't know if they've already got this planned or lined up, but that should be, that should be the play. If, if, you know, Harvard or Duke or Stanford or wherever wants to keep doing what they do, which is a quota system that they pretend is not a quota system, so that they can have certain, quote, disadvantaged minorities represented in greater numbers than they would based on actual grades and test scores and what would be considered generally academic merit, they should pull federal funding for them. Federal grants. They say, oh, we're private institutions, okay, Columbia University is a private institution, gets a lot of money from the government. Isn't that remarkable? A big thing that we see from what Elon has been doing is just the awareness now of how much the federal government is in the business of, of business and funding all these different things. Now, some of these aren't really business. They're political businesses, if you will. But that, that you could have, for example, Stacey Abrams involved in or running an organization that gets $2 billion from the government. I mean, I think about this. You know, I've worked at media startups. I've worked, you know, I was at the Blaze when it just began with Glenn and, and I was at. I launched Hill tv. And I've been at places and I'm familiar with what it's like in the early days. And your budget has to be very lean. You have to grow, wait for the subscribers or the viewers to come, so then you have the ad dollars to support a bigger infrastructure. If you gave me a $2 billion, I could create an unsinkable aircraft carrier of freedom and free speech and pro America in the media. I mean, it would be insane what I could do with $2 billion just given to me as a grant. Okay? I get to just pay people salaries and put money into all Kinds of different ventures and things that I want to do. This is happening in this country. It just hasn't been happening on our side. It hasn't been happening. For those of us who thought that this was supposed to be a free market economy, something else is going on. But they, they have attacked X. And I think there's a lot of anger toward Elon Musk. Well, that's for sure. He says he gets death threats now all the time. But there are a lot of people who have attached themselves to very left wing narratives who blame Elon and X because that has made it a lot harder for them to get away with the nonsense. Because there's a place where information can get tested in real time by the people using the platform without the kind of left wing bias and censorship that had dominated these platforms in previous years. It's really, really important. You know, Donald Trump made an incredible comeback in politics from the 2020 situation and then made it through all these obstacles. And you can't take anything away from the guy because he's just, he's amazing. He is a political phenomenon, a force of nature. And I think many people view it as divine inspiration for the country, or rather is divinely inspired for the future of this country. And that's all true. Elon Musk buying X was very important for the 2024 election. Because now when they would try the lie, a perfect example, they say, they try the cheap fakes thing. They, they say, oh, but you're, you're lying. Joe Biden, sharp as attack. He's sharp as attack, the sharpest he's ever been. And they try this and we go, hold on a second. I saw him and he was, folks, it's kind of muttering. You don't know what's going on. That's not sharp as attack. What's happening here? Okay, Then they say the videos like the one that I just did, an interpretation of a dramatic buck interpretation of a Biden video, not a joke, not a joke. And you know that that's going on. They say they're cheap fakes. Now, in the media environment of let's say 2019, 2020, they would have gotten away with that much more. So at least because they could have just adjusted on the back end. The, they'd say, oh, we're adjusting the disinformation. We think there are fake videos. AI, you know, generated videos of Biden looking like he has dementia, which he does. And so they're just going to throttle it so that you don't see it. And they would have been able to do that. Now, you could say eventually, you know, shows like this one would get the truth out. Yeah, sure. But the whole cheap fakes thing lasted about 48 hours because the. The Internet, starting with X, but then come, you know, then there's the second order effects of being able to find it on X. And then the websites have it and the shows have it and Fox News has it, and everybody full of clips of Biden looking like it. Like he didn't know where he was and what universe we're in. So it was really important that we had that information ecosystem open in this last election and what Elon was doing with that. I mean, we've been. I've been talking to you and Clay and I have been talking to you a lot about the Doge mission, but the open information ecosystem that he created with ACT is essential. Think about this. Facebook ticked. All of them should be like this, but they're not. They're not. They've gotten a little bit better. They're less aggressively Stalinist at Meta Facebook and Instagram now than they were during COVID and in the first couple years of Biden. They're less Stalinist than they were, but they're still not to be trusted. They're still not to be trusted. And, you know, Truth Social was able. Remember Truth Social? You punch through the information ecosystem for our side, but there are no libs. There are no leftists really on Truth Social. Okay, The Truth Social is our team. And Rumble. You know, maybe there's some leftists, but it's mostly our team as well. Because if you are. If you believe in free speech, you are at least leaning right on one of the core issues of our time. And so the Democrat Party's anti free speech. Avowedly so. I mean, they say that you shouldn't be able to deadname trans people. They say that you shouldn't be able to engage in hate speech, which means you can't call somebody an illegal alien anymore. I mean, there's just. They are the censorship team, the censorship party. And then that brings you back to the cyber attack here on. On X, which has been down throughout the day. And I can't remember the last time something like this happened, but this group that is reportedly pro Hamas, the problem with being pro Hamas is the more people know about Hamas, the more they realize they're the bad guys. There is no. There's no other direction. The greater one's ignorance of Hamas, particularly in this country, the more likely, I think one is to fall to the propaganda that it's a resistance organization that does a lot of nice charity work too, or something. Right. These are the euphemisms that people try to come up with. Same thing used to be the case among American leftists in Hezbollah in Lebanon, they would say, oh, but look at all that. They operate soup kitchens. Yeah, they operate soup kitchens and suicide bomb factories. You know, one doesn't cancel out the other. And on Hamas specifically, you see that there are these, that the Democrat Party, because there is both a religious and racial solidarity among Democrats with Hamas because it is Muslim and non white, and that's how they view it. The Democrats have a really tough problem here because for American Jews who are paying attention and care about this, the Democrat Party is an open home for antisemitism now, for anti Jewish thought, and for elevating the mortal enemies not just of Israel, but of the Jewish people, as in people that want to eliminate the Jewish people. Which is certainly true of Hamas, certainly true of Hezbollah, certainly true of the mullahs in Tehran. And to give a sense of the kind of hatred that you're talking about here, I remember years ago, a friend of mine at this, she ended up going to the State Department. This is like, we're going back now 20 years. Ish. And she, as part of a research project, did interviews with the families of Hamas suicide bombers. And this had to do with the second Intifada. In, in, in Israel, Intifada means uprising. A lot of people mispronounce it online. They'll say int or something. It's intifada. The second intifada. The first intifada was, you know, a decade plus before. But the second intifada had a lot of horrific suicide bombings. And this led to Israel building the wall and, and the. Because walls work or the barrier. And she went, she interviewed these families. And it was really terrifying to her how many people she could sit down with and interview them. And they would say, and I think it was in cities like Nablus and Jenin, I'm trying to remember now, and she would go and she'd sit down with them and they would say, these mothers would tell her that their son or this woman's son who had gone into a pizzeria in Jerusalem and blown up a dozen people, women and children, the elderly, had done the bravest and greatest thing imaginable. And the mother was so proud of the martyr. And this was a, this was a celebrated part of the culture. And no one had a problem with this. West Bank, Gaza Strip, didn't matter. This Was the mentality. It's a death cult. It's a death cult. The death of their own child in the process of killing other children or other people's children was celebrated. And nothing has changed. That is still the mentality. You know, there's something that the Islamists say, you know, we love death more than you love life. This has been something that jihadists and radical Islam, which is a very interesting term itself, but that's a conversation for another day. They have said this. It is true. And that tells you everything you need to know about the movement. They love death more than we love life, and they think that's their great advantage over us. Of course, they've ceded. They've ceded everything before that even starts, because we have to do everything we can to defeat them, just as the Israelis have to do everything they can to defeat Hamas. Because you can't have. There's no figuring it out with people who are obsessed with death, your death and theirs, as a means of achieving power for their movement, for their religion. So that. That this Elon Musk, rather, this is Group X, Sorry, this. I'm trying to remember the name of the group here. What is it called? Dark Storm. There we go. This Dark Storm group that has attacked Elon Musk's ex is pro Hamas, reportedly is not surprising at all. Not because they have to hate free speech, because free speech means it's more likely the truth will get out.

Let's get some callers here and, and some other folks to get into the mix. Bill in Naples, Florida. What's going on, Bill? Well, good afternoon, Buck. Thank you for taking my call. I've listened to rush for 25 years now, and now I listen to you guys. Thank you. Tried. I've tried different economists to find out who we're borrowing all this money from and who are we paying the interest to. Nobody seems to be able to answer my question. I've asked Larry Kudlow. Nobody responds to me. Nobody gets back to me. Well, so this is, this is, it's interesting because it's a simple question with, with a lot of different and I think in complex, complex answers that you could throw at it. In a sense, we're borrowing the money from ourselves, right? We're borrowing the money from future generations. Really. If you're talking about the printing of money, you're really debasing the currency and you're using a lesser currency to pay off previous debts. So that's one thing that goes on. The problem for us is with, with we have to sell, I mean, the US to fund a lot, to fund some of the operations here. You sell Treasuries on the open market, right? You sell treasury bills, and those treasury bills have a yield. And ultimately we need Americans and the rest of the world to think of Treasuries as the ultimate safe haven asset for us to continue the system that we currently have. And if our debt load gets too big and the service on the debt becomes too big, then you got to start to raise those treasury, treasury interest rates even more because that's what it will take for people to be willing to buy them. Which also means then that there is a tightness that occurs in the money supply because all of our interest rates go up because this is the system we have. I don't know. I don't know if that's. I covered as much as I could in 60 seconds on the most complicated financial system in the history of the planet. But that's the basics of it. Thanks for calling it from Naples.

Episode: Hour 3 - Dept. of Ed Cartel
Release Date: March 10, 2025
Hosts: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
Description: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton delve into the most pressing news, politics, and current events, blending intelligence with humor. In this episode, they tackle topics ranging from economic policies and political strategies to educational reforms and free speech issues.
Clay and Buck kick off the discussion by addressing the Democratic Party's tendency to attribute economic downturns to former President Donald Trump. Buck remarks on the Democrats' consistent narrative:
“Anything that isn't awesome, always Trump's fault.”
[00:20]
The hosts criticize the lack of a coherent Democratic agenda, suggesting that blaming Trump has become a default stance whenever economic challenges arise.
The conversation shifts to Representative Adam Schiff, highlighting his criticisms of Trump's economic policies. Clay questions Schiff's expertise:
“Does Adam Schiff know about the economy, really? Does he know more about markets and trade than Donald Trump?”
[05:45]
Buck echoes this sentiment, portraying Schiff as a figure more interested in political vendettas than genuine economic discourse.
Clay and Buck delve into Trump's multifaceted tariff strategy, which they've characterized as both a trade and a "drug war." They criticize Schiff's incoherent explanations regarding tariffs:
“These tariffs are not about trade. Drug war and then next month it's a trade war… It was incomprehensible.”
[12:30]
The hosts argue that Trump's approach is strategic, aiming to negotiate reciprocal tariffs that benefit American industries.
Addressing recent economic indicators, Buck discusses forecasts that suggest a potential recession within the next year. He references both Trump’s warnings and mainstream economic opinions:
“There could be a recession over the next 12 months. Right by the definition of it.”
[20:15]
Clay counters by pointing out the administration's efforts to stabilize the economy, attributing current challenges to factors beyond Trump's control, such as previous government spending.
The discussion highlights Secretary of Commerce Lutnick's stance on implementing reciprocal tariffs. Buck emphasizes the administration's commitment to negotiating favorable terms:
“The deal starts April 2 of reciprocal tariffs. The President's gonna negotiate country by country.”
[25:40]
Clay supports this strategy, drawing parallels to Trump's previous negotiations with China, suggesting that such tactics can level the playing field for American farmers and industries.
Clay and Buck praise Trump's economic team, asserting that they are composed of highly capable individuals often undermined by Democratic opposition. Buck states:
“There are a lot of really smart people around Trump right now, Trump being one of them.”
[30:50]
They argue that Democratic leaders lack the expertise to effectively manage the economy, relying instead on partisan attacks.
A significant portion of the episode critiques public school teachers' unions, particularly targeting Randy Weingarten. Buck asserts:
“Teachers unions should be abolished. Public schools should not have... there should be no public sector unions for teachers.”
[35:10]
The hosts argue that teachers' unions are detrimental to educational reform and serve as powerful Democratic voting blocs. They advocate for eliminating the Department of Education, labeling it a "slush fund" for left-wing agendas.
Transitioning to technology and media, Clay discusses recent cyber attacks on X (formerly Twitter), attributing them to pro-Hamas groups:
“X... has been hit by a massive cyber attack. A hacking group calling itself Dark Storm Team has announced they are behind taking down X.”
[45:35]
Buck connects these attacks to broader anti-free speech initiatives, suggesting that suppressing platforms like X undermines open discourse.
The hosts emphasize the importance of platforms that support free speech, contrasting them with what they describe as Stalinist social media giants like Facebook and Instagram. Buck states:
“Truth Social is our team. And Rumble... if you believe in free speech, you are at least leaning right on one of the core issues of our time.”
[50:20]
Clay argues that Democratic policies aim to censor dissenting voices, thereby consolidating their control over public opinion.
In a contentious segment, Clay and Buck allege that the Democratic Party has become a breeding ground for anti-Semitism, fueling support for organizations like Hamas. Buck asserts:
“The Democrat Party is an open home for antisemitism now, for anti-Jewish thought... of Hamas, certainly true of Hezbollah.”
[55:50]
They recount personal anecdotes and research illustrating how extremist groups are glorified within certain Democratic circles, exacerbating tensions and promoting hatred.
In this episode, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton deliver a robust critique of Democratic strategies, economic policies under Trump, and ongoing battles over free speech and education reform. Through pointed commentary and incisive analysis, they present a narrative that underscores their commitment to conservative values and opposition to what they perceive as liberal overreach.
