Buck Sexton
This is an iHeart podcast. Welcome back in, everybody. Third hour of play and Buck gets going right now and much to talk about. More on the big beautiful bill, some back and forth on that one. I have a Supreme Court decision that I think is very interesting that I will break down for you. We just spoke to an advisor to cbp. You know, ICE made the most immigrant arrests, illegal immigrant arrests in a single day Tuesday of this week. 2,200 people in one day. They're ramping up. They are ramping up. And that is certainly good to see. On the bad side of things, a Colorado federal judge, a Biden appointee, of course, has issued an order blocking the Trump administration from deporting the wife and five children of the terrorist in Boulder, Mohammed Suleiman. So there's a judge who thinks that he's president. It seems this is really bad stuff for the country. When you have these judges who really believe that they or act like they believe that, they call the shots for the executive branch. They have power over foreign policy. They have power over everything. They can just tell the president, you can't do that. No constitutional anything for. Nope, you just can't do that. I say you can't do that. So you can't do that. Hundreds of lower court judges and any one of them can just bind the commander in chief's hands on a whim. And also, as we see, they keep, a lot of them are overturned by the Supreme Court when they eventually make their way up there. So they're overturned and also very partisan from the get go. But we're supposed to think that this is okay? Why should we think that this. Well, it's not, as you know. And we'll continue to follow this very closely. Now, something else that I think is worth a bit of our time and it is how this moment is when all of the people who were part of the Biden lie are running for cover, are scrambling away from what they did to the country and trying to cash in on it. As you know, I saw through the whole Tapper thing all along. This is somebody who was a nasty defender of all things Biden cognition during the Biden administration. He is a Democrat activist. He is a very noxious combination of psychotically thin skinned tapper as well as wildly narcissistic and thinks that he can fool all of us into believing that he did the crime but should not do the time when it comes to the Biden cover up, that he is the guy who should be speaking truth to power. It didn't work. I Think people have seen through this? Yeah, he's selling a lot of books, but I think he sold whatever was left of his credibility along with it. And that's. So that's one case of this, right? One case of a Democrat propagandist running for the exits, or rather trying to not switch teams, but just reposition himself for the next. For the next go round with the next administration. And then you have this. Corrine Jean Pierre and I remember when she was the Biden press secretary, you know, we would talk about some of the things that she said, but we really started to, I think, lay off on this show because it felt like, you know, she just wasn't up for it. And it's different when you're the president versus when you're the press secretary. If the president's brain doesn't work, it's not mean. I have to say it. If the White House press secretary is just not very bright and not very capable. I mean, I'm gonna say it, but I really. I don't. I'll. I'll tell you this. Two things to. To our credit, but maybe in this business, sometimes a bit of a hindrance. I'm not a mean guy, and Clay's not a mean guy. We don't like being mean to anybody. We choose to be as kind as we can be. I think both of us, in our own ways, kindness is different than niceness. I agree with that. Niceness is. I don't want to be offensive and I, you know, nice. Kindness is. No, I want to treat people. I want to treat people well and whenever possible, be respectful and. And good faith and positive in my interactions with my fellow human beings. And so basically, I'm saying, like, we felt. Almost felt bad for Queen Jean Pierre because she was so in and over her head and it was so obvious. And I didn't feel like beating up on. On her on the show was really. Yeah, we had some fun with this sometimes, but it's very different. Like Weekend at Bernie's, Biden, we. He's the commander in chief. Unacceptable. He's a fraudster. He's a liar. The whole thing was disgusting. Green. Jean Pierre is somebody who. Look, she was a DEI hire in the sense that she clearly was not up for this job, but she was. She is a lesbian and she is black. And that was very exciting. Those characteristics were very exciting for Democrats to have in a White House press secretary. Now, the conservative view on these things, and you see this with, you know, you've got different people who could be or rather are, I guess, diversity technically within the Trump administration, whether it's women or, you know, Richard Grenell is, is gay. I mean, there's these people that are, that have worked for Trump at senior level, and it's just about, are they good at the job? And there's not this obsession with the, either immutable characteristics or the sexual orientation or anything like this about these individuals. We just pick people. Or, you know, Trump picks people that he thinks will be really good. And he puts a, he's put a lot of women, as you've noticed, for example, in senior positions. And these are some tough ladies and they're, they're showing their competency day in and day out. I mean, everyone, somebody like Caroline, Caroline Levitt is doing a phenomenal job as White House press secretary. But Karine Jean Pierre just, she didn't have it. She wasn't very good at this. She was not up to the task. And I actually think that it was clear to a lot of people that that was the case. And so she did not get very much heat from the media. Yes. Because she was home team. I understand. And yes, she's, she's a black lesbian and therefore is, in the world of identity politics, double protected as the left uses. Right. If you're a conservative, if you're on the right, you just view people as people and you treat them as people and you expect, you know, you hold everyone to the same framework of are you good at this, are you bad at this, are you doing your job or you're not doing your job? That's, that is the right conservative point of view. The liberal point of view is, well, we're going to pick people for different things. And this goes to a Supreme Court case. I'm going to talk about a second here. But the left wing point of view, the Democrat point of view, we're going to pick people and we're going to tell you they're just as good as anybody else. And they're not picked for these reasons. But we're also going to praise them for being these different things. So there's a cognitive dissonance here. Right? Like, this has always been the problem with affirmative action, always been the problem with dei. You can't say we need to give an advantage to people because of skin color, sexual orientation, whatever, but you can't think that we're giving anybody an advantage because of those things. This is the fundamental. And the fundamental disconnect. This is the cognitive dissonance. And then they do this thing of, oh, but it's just a little bit. It's just a little bit of a help because when you start to corner them on these issues, you find out that this doesn't. It can't hold up. This doesn't make sense. You can't ask somebody. You can't say, I'm picking this person because of a. And then you're not allowed to say, I'm picking this person because of a. You can't. You can't do that. That does not compute. You're asking us to, you know, believe that up is down. And we're rather demanding that we believe that up is down. So that's what we saw with Green Jean Pierre here. And now she is putting out a book called Independent. Here she is announcing. So she's leaving the Democrat Party. She's not just talking about the Biden administration, She's leaving the Democrat Party. This is. Cut to. This is how she described the broken White House on Instagram. I think we need to stop thinking in boxes and think outside of our boxes and not be so partisan. And the way that I see moving forward in this space that we're in right now is if you are willing to stand side by side with me, regardless of your political. How you identify politically, and as long as you respect the community that I belong to and vulnerable communities that I respect, I will be there with you. I will be. I will move forward with you. And that is, I think, so important. Hmm. What happened to the Democrat Party? Why is she leaving the Democrat Party? She was the chief spokeswoman for the Biden regime, and now she's an independent. Now she's talking about how she's. It makes no sense. It makes no sense. But what's interesting to me now is this is completely predictable. Now there are Democrat sources that are trashing her all over the place. Oh, she wasn't up for it. She wouldn't let Kirby. Remember Kirby? You know, the white guy from the Pentagon? You know, he was going to do briefings on national security, but she wouldn't let him because he's so much smarter than she is, and it made her insecure. So he wasn't allowed to. And now everyone's talking about this. I'm sorry. When you propagate the lie, because it's is worth it for you to do so. You don't get to turn around and pretend you're a hero when it doesn't matter anymore. And this is really the whole situation of what's going on now with some of these. Whether it's Tapper or Green Jean Pierre. There's going to be others, too. Now, all of a sudden, you know, they're trying to tell you that they've had this big change of heart. They see what's going on. Why won't they say. Why won't they, you know, reach out to people like me, for example, and say, you were right. I don't just mean me, but, you know, people on the right in general. Why would they say they were right? And I should really think about why they were right and I should think about why I lied publicly, speaking from the Democrat perspective, why they lied about things when they, they just had to know everything they were saying was nonsense. And what does that say about their character? What does that say about their, their integrity? I mean, they have. It means they have no integrity. They have no integrity at all. Here you go. Who cares? Congressional Dems say good riddance to Karine Jean Pierre. This is from Axios. Democrat lawmakers say who cares? Here we go. Her explanation for this move is as confusing and disjointed as her answers in the White House press briefing. Democrats are trashing her now and basically saying she's. She's an idiot. That's what they're saying. She never was up for it, never could do it. So they put, they, they put a black lesbian in this role. Tell us. It's amazing. Tell us. They didn't do it, though, because she's a black lesbian. They say they just did it because she's so good at the job. And we say, but she's not good at the job. And they say, how dare you. She's good at the job. And now that the, the whole thing has fallen apart, the administration's done, they lost. It's, oh, no, she was an idiot all along. And the only reason she had the job was because she's a black lesbian. And Democrats are obsessed with dei, and that is what Democrats are saying now. So everything that we tell you on this show about what's going on, you'll notice, true. The things that we say, we just keep getting more affirmation of. And we said it all along. The other side has to keep trying to find ways to explain to their audience, to their voters, why they lie and why they're wrong about everything. You could say this is a trend. You could say this is an indicator of something. And now I'm going to come back and speak about the Supreme Court decision that just came down. It turns out you can't discriminate. You can't say, I'M firing you and hiring a lesbian because she's a lesbian. This is a real case. This just happened that this is wrong. Of course it's wrong. It's always been wrong. But it was also always wrong to hire somebody because they were a black lesbian or a lesbian or an Eskimo or whatever. It's always been wrong to do that. It was never okay to do this thing. That was done for a long time and now the courts agree with me. Now, you know, if any of you out there are fired so they can hire a minority or a trans individual or whatever, you can sue because it's wrong. Let's talk about this. Let's come back to this sanity shortly here. Restoration of sanity. Product innovation means so much in business and Rapid Radios are a perfect example of this.

There is another place on the big island called KA U K A apostrophe U but pronounced KA Ooh. They grow coffee there. My husband and I taught in Kau. And the old sugar plantation fields are turned into coffee fields. I definitely recommend checking it out. It's good coffee. Not as deep deep roast as Kona, but still a very good coffee might be a cheaper option. Please check it out. Love you guys. Thank you so much, Katie from Denver. And yeah, we love you too. And I have in my team already a Crockett team, which is all American based customer service. Everything, everything's here in America. I'm having them look into this. Just gonna say, you know, look, some people, they don't want to pay a lot of money for their coffee. Getting it from Hawaii might just be prohibitively expensive. If we have really expensive coffee and people don't want to buy it because it's expensive, then we're not, you know, then we can't give money to tunnel the towers and we can't hire more great Americans and we can't do live events, you know, running a business. And it really just depends on you being our subscribers. And, you know, we saw a lot of our wonderful sponsors. I would say, I would add yesterday at this event we did down here in Florida. And, you know, people sometimes ask me, you know, what can we do? We. I love what you and Clay do. I appreciate the show, and I mean this. And I'm a capitalist, but I mean, I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Try our sponsors. And this is what the people. They're the only reason that we have. We have what we have here. And they were the only reason that Rush had what he built, by the way. Right? I mean, the sponsors. And Rush would say that too. The sponsors of the show are the reason there's a show. You know, you listen and you check out these different products, these great products that we talk about here on the program. And that is the economics of this. Right? You're not all subscribed to radio, right? I mean, you can listen to radio. It's a free product we put out. But the. And those are people that stay with us. Those are people that believe in your values. And so, you know, really, if any of these are products that. That you know, you can or would use, you should use the ones you hear about here on this show. And I truly mean that. And I practice what I preach on that, and I go with as many conservative brands. And I obviously, everything that all of our sponsors, I use all these different products, but I just Bring it up because we're going to try to get an all American coffee bean as well. We'll try, but I know it's going to some of you going to write in the coffee. So expensive. Look, you know, I mean, we're running a business. I'll see if we can get it from there. It's a cool idea, you know. Where are you looking for the next opportunity to build lasting wealth for yourself, for your family? Where is the next great investment opportunity could be contained with a business exploration being done right now by the Trump administration who's trying to do what's best for America. There are some really smart people out there who believe our nation, nation has an asset could be worth $150 trillion. An asset that has been buried on American soil and may well be the basis for creating a sovereign wealth fund for America. Jim Rickards, former adviser of the White House and Federal Reserve, he's the guy behind this and he says if you're over 50, this could be your best chance to build lasting wealth from a once in a century event. Good news for everyone in this audience and there could be some really interesting investment opportunities that Jim Rickards presents you with. But you gotta just go hear what he has to say for free for yourself and make your decision. Go hear Jim's thinking at birthright2025.com A lot of this conversation as a result of President Trump's instigation on this issue could be a huge, huge moment for a lot of people who want to retire wealthy. Go to birthright2025.com to get the details free of charge, paid for by Paradigm Press. A little bit of trouble in paradise here in MAGA world. I don't want to ignore this. Like I said, it's like watching my family members bicker or something. I'm like, guys, guys, come on, come on. You know, I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it. Trump and Elon, there's a bit of, a little bit of, you know, static. Call it static, I think they'll smooth this thing over. But look, Elon's not working, working in the administration anymore, so it doesn't really matter. Him going back to, well, it matters, but it's not a big deal. Him going back to running Tesla, which is a company that I very much believe in, thinks is incredible. And SpaceX and X, the platform. And Elon has done a lot, a lot for the country, a lot for maga and Doge has been, I think, eye opening In a way that we really needed to see. All of that said, it is a little bit frustrating here to see Trump and Elon having a bit of a spat over what's going on here with this spending bill. Trump is now saying that Elon. Wait, hold on a second. Make sure I get this right. Elon has Trump derangement syndrome. Here we go. President Trump appeared to. Oh, wait, we actually have some sound. Guys, can you play the. This is from the Oval Office. Trump talked about the situation with Elon. I don't know what the number is on this one, but you can pull up the clip. We had it before. Let's hear what Trump is saying about the Elon relationship. Play it. Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know well anymore. I was surprised because you were here. Everybody in this room practically was here as we had a wonderful send off. He said wonderful things about me. You couldn't have nicer. Said the best thing. He's worn the hat. Trump was right about everything. And I am right about the great big beautiful bill. We call it a great big beautiful bill because that's what it is. And again, biggest tax cuts in history, biggest economic development moves anywhere. We've never done anything like it. Saying they may not have a great relationship going forward. We'll see. Look, one thing about Trump, you have to remember, and you know this, and I know this, is that, you know, he's not an opponent you want to have. It's not going to go well for you. But he also always keeps the, keeps the tent flap open for you to come back and, you know, be back on the team. He has a, he has really a, a remarkable willingness to bring people back into the fold who want to be part of the agenda and want to move the country in the same direction. A lot of, look, I want a great example of this. Marco Rubio. I mean, Marco Rubio and Trump went at each other in that primary in 2016. You remember, you know, talking about, like, little hands and stuff. And, you know, Marco decided he was going to play a little rough with Trump and Trump could play a lot rougher. We all remember what happened. We all remember what happened. And now Marco Rubio is Trump's A plus Secretary of State. Total confidence in going both ways there. And he's doing great stuff for the administration. And, you know, Marco Rubio is just getting it done and Trump knows it and he's, and he is dialed in. He is locked in. And a lot of people are saying Rubio kind of gets the Most improved, most improved award on the Republican side of things. And he's doing great stuff. And the Secretary of State deserves a lot of credit for that. We'll have him on the show hopefully sometime soon. We'll talk to him about it. But yeah, I think it's exactly the case that Trump will always allow people to come back in after there's been a public split, unless they, like, play really dirty and try to imprison his family or something, which some lunatics have tried to do. But I bring this up because this is what Elon put out on X. Elon's the richest guy on the planet. I don't know. Are there two guys with bigger and both very deserved, but bigger egos on earth? I don't know. It would be. I mean, there's delusionally, you know, Keith Olbermann. I mean, there's people who have huge egos who are total losers for people who are actually winners with big egos. Trump and Elon are high up on the list. Right. And Elon put this out there on X just in the last about an hour, hour and change ago. Without me. This is Elon. Without me, Trump would have lost the election. Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 5,149 in the Senate. And then he added. Such ingratitude. Okay, just, look, I'm just telling you what's happening here. Just saying that there's a little bit of a thing, little bit, Little bit of speed bump. I think it's all gonna be fine. Elon's upset about this bill. He's a true believer in cutting the government spending. And I understand what his case is with this. The problem, as I've laid out the problems, for one, it's if you tried to do what Elon wants them to do, you would not have passage of it in Congress. So what's the way forward then? I don't understand what the way forward is because you have to get Democrats to go on. If you have to get Democrats to go on board now, you got nothing. Now you're just letting the Democrats call the shots. That's crazy. So unless you want to nuke the filibuster on this issue in this moment, and remember, the Democrats will be very happy to go completely insane the moment they have 51 seats in the Senate if the filibuster is gone, and they may still do that in the future, and maybe that's the argument that should be made right now. But that's not the argument. That's being Made, but it's, yeah, the bromance of Trump and Elon right now. They want a little space. They want a little space. Trump is out on the golf course. Elon's going for a walk on the beach. There's some sad music playing in the background. I think they're both probably having some moments where they think back to, you know, hand in hand, walking down the White House lawn and talking about how great Tesla is and the happy music going. We're in a different part of the story right now. It's a little sad, but it's going to be okay. I'm sure that they will make amends. I'm not, I don't think this is some big thing. Elon is red pilled. Elon knows that MAGA is. It's just, it's just a question of whether we want to have a sane country and a sane government or not. Democrats are complete lunatics. Total lunatics. Honestly. Their party, yeah, there are smart, nice Democrats. I'm friends with plenty of Democrats. That's not what I'm saying. The Democrat Party, though, is now run by an ideology that is just deranged. We see this, whether we're talking about the trans athlete stuff that they're still sticking to or you don't even really know what the Democrats stand for right now because they're still trying to regain some footing after supporting a dementia patient for four years that obviously had dementia and they pretend like he didn't. And now we all have to sit around saying, well, you knew the whole time. How can you, how can you lecture us on anything? How can Democrats lecture us on anything when it comes to government or decision making or whatever? When they had Joe Biden as president for four years and we all knew, and they knew, what grounds do they have to stand on here? So I just wanted to, I wanted to note that there's a little bit of, a little bit of friction right now in, in MAGA world with Trump and Elon. And I just, I'll say this to two alpha dogs like that. This was, if I didn't say it on this show, it's because I didn't want to rain on the election parade of how great everything was going. But we've all known that eventually this is, this was going to, there was going to be a little bit of a, and I, and when I say a little bit of a break, I don't mean that they're going to hate each other and Elon's going to go left wing and Trump's going to have to throw big haymakers at him publicly for a long time. But there was a, there was a time limit to how long I think these two guys could really closely collaborate before it was going to be best for all that. Trump goes back to being president and Elon goes back to running his companies. And that is where we are. So it's not a big deal. But, you know, the bromance movie here is, like I said, this is a little bit of different space. I'm sure. Give it a few months, Elon will be at Mar a Lago, they'll be laughing it up and having dinner and everything else. But Elon's a very intense, I don't know him, but just based. I haven't met him actually, which is kind of a shame. I'd like to meet him at some point. Elon's a very intense guy, obviously, and believes very much in the mission that he was taking on at Doge. And when you have that level of intensity, you can become a little, I don't know, monomaniacal is the right word. You can, you know, a little, a little too laser focused on that one thing. Trump has got to focus on a lot of things and he does have to deal with what is possible out there. And this is a difference, right? Elon. Elon is used to being. You can be much closer to a truly, you can be much closer to a dictator in your day to day affair, day to day affairs as the CEO and primary shareholder of a company. You can be much closer to a dictator than you can as president with a Congress and a Supreme Court and 350 million people who all have opinions. Right. It's, it's different. It's different. Now, I know Trump has been CEO of companies too, so he understands that. But Elon's never been president. And there's some, some nuances here that are in the skill set. But I'm wondering what you think about this one. If you. I am not surprised by this at all. I will just say I'm not surprised by this at all. I was also not surprised at all at the Elon Ramaswamy split that occurred right away. I won't get into that now. Maybe we'll talk about that another time. But I knew that Elon was like, that was not going to work. And I know, I'm just saying that was. And everyone who knows me and knows my feelings on that, they know that that wasn't going to be. I was on vacation when and overseas, so I really wasn't online. Or getting involved in it. But that whole H1B visa situation with. With Elon and Ramaswamy and. And Trump and MAGA and. Yeah. So, anyway, I want to get back to our agenda here. What's going on with. With the country and. And all the good things that are happening. But I. I had to take note of. There's a little bit of a disturbance in the force, if you will, with Trump and Elon. It's gonna be. It's gonna be fine, though. I'm telling you, those guys. It's one of Trump's nicest qualities, really, just as a person, is that he's willing to. He's willing to let people see the error of their ways and come back and. And bring them back into the fold, and it's fine. It's a really nice. It's a really lovely quality to have, I will say. Many people don't have that at all. Many people hold grudges, and grudges are kind of. Grudges are not generally good. Grudges, I think, usually are toxic or, you know, usually have a toxicity to them. I didn't get to get into the details of this Supreme Court decision, but essentially the notion of reverse discrimination has been flipped on its head here. The Supreme Court had to. The basics of this are. A woman was working for a. Hold on. It was like a juvenile detention facility or something. She was an administrator. She applied for a more senior job. They didn't give her that job, and then they demoted her, and she lost out to somebody who was a lesbian, and then she was replaced by somebody who was gay. And she felt like there was some DEI stuff going on here, and she sued. And the lower courts, the district court and the circuit court. This is Ames vo. Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services. And what. What the lower courts found was, well, you're a heterosexual female, so it's not really possible for you to be. This was. Yeah, like I said, this was in Ohio, it's not really possible for you to be discriminated against. And they said that she failed to clear the bar. Applied to members of a majority group in order to be considered discriminated against under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. So there's a higher burden if you're straight than if you're LGBTQIA plus, because you're still supposed to be protected. These are protected characteristics. Right. You can't discriminate on the basis of sex, can't discriminate on the basis of skin color, ethnicity. Right. That. That's the law. But they're saying, well, but it's harder to prove discrimination if you're white or it's harder to prove discrimination if you're straight. And by a unanimous decision written by, written by Justice Jackson Katanji Brown Jackson, that the standard is the standard and discrimination is discrimination. And so you fire somebody or you demote somebody or whatever, and it's, it's provable that you did it. So you could hire someone who's gay or you could hire somebody who's, you know, an Eskimo or you, whatever. That's wrong. No more reverse discrimination. It's just discrimination. We're, we're either protected and you can't hurt anyone based upon things they can't change, which is obviously what is ethical and what the law should be. Or we got a problem. The left hates this, of course, because this is a huge challenge to the DEI regime. This is a huge challenge to the racial spoils system and the gender identity spoil system that they set up. Supreme Court nine zero on this one. There are many months of the year when PureTalk, my wireless company, is focused on charitable actions for our military veterans.
