Bonus Episode: Daily Review with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton

things are heating up. I think you could say that the initial honeymoon period with the media, not that they wanted to give us one, but they were so shocked that they couldn't even figure out a way to oppose Trump effectively in public, that is starting to fade as they scream recession, recession, and authoritarianism. So we shall discuss where all this is coming from. We got Congress right now wrangling over the Continuing Resolution. There's government shutdown talk,

oh boy, up on Capitol Hill. We will discuss this. Trump announcing new tariffs on Canada. So he's going to impose fifty percent tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. We'll discuss this. This is a retaliatory tariff. There's a lot of back and forth over the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, an anti American pro Hamas pro Palestinian activist on a student visa. I think that's a discussion we should get into in a little bit. You've also got the aftermath

of Dylan mulvany on The View. It turns out the ladies of the View are as disconnected from reality and cognitively limited as we had always assumed here on the show, or we had always discussed, And we shall get into all of that and more. Also, take a bunch of your calls eight hundred two two two eight eight, thank you.

And I'll just say this, my friends, it is important to note that this was all what we should have expected when you try to change the system, when you take it upon yourself to challenge the way things are done in the biggest, most expensive government in the history of the world, which I think is fair to say, no one else is spending the trillions that we have spent, or we have gotten used to spending. No one else has ever gotten thirty six trillion US dollars or the equivalent.

I don't know, maybe we could go back to ancient Rome or something, but nobody else has run this up the way that we have in the modern era. We've got some real problems to fix. Right. The initial flurry of executive orders from Trump was fantastic. It was it was time for us all to high five, do backflips. And like I said, if you remember you were listening to us at the time, I said, enjoy this. Go out this weekend, crack a beer or a chardonnay, or whatever it is you like to you know, in my case,

some stevious sweetened water. Go go enjoy yourself and enjoy the victory that Trump had over all the forces trying to stop him. Enjoy the victory the Republicans had. Because things are gonna get messy, and we're entering the messy phase. Now. It's not going to be what they're telling you it is, which is that somehow this is all going to fall apart and the economy is so bad and it's all

Trump's fault. That is to be expected from an anti Trump media that has lied to you about absolutely everything. I've seen that, even with the the Heritage Foundation, I think it's the accountability project they have. They've looked at the signatures, the auto pen signatures of Biden on a bunch of his well, a bunch of things that he officially signed, and some of them don't match up. And this under a normal president, Under a cognitively functioning president,

you might say, well, you know, people use autopens. Did Biden even know all the things he was signing? And if he didn't know all the things he was signing, it's not really law, is it if some advisor just effectively forged his signature. Right? It's one thing for a president to have an autopen signature. Go, yes, my hand is tired. Auto that has happened before. We know this. Oh,

I'm not discounting that reality. But if a president isn't even aware of what is being signed in his name, is is that a thing that we don't pay attention to? Does that not have consequences? I think it clearly should. But I bring it up because we have entered a new era now where we have a president who is very much engaged and advisors who are on a mission. This is not the business as usual presidency. This is not even the Trump as we got to know him presidency,

as in Trump one point oh. This is clearly Trump two point oh. This is something elevated and beyond the first go round. There was a lot of on the job learning. There were personnel decisions and mistakes. Let's just be honest about this. Trump is honest about it. He fired a bunch of people. He has had people turn against him who owe their careers to him, now in

the media, but then in government. So there was a learning curve, and there was there was, i think from the Trump team also the surprise of having to deal with not just the media going all out against him, but we remember the Russia collusion hoax and the media, Democrat, intelligence community complex, the apparatus all going at Trump with

everything that they had, and it slowed things down. This time around, they have thrown everything at him, and they have been shown incapable of stopping him from getting to his second term. A magnificent thing, an incredible comeback. That's what I told you. Enjoy it. Don't just look at the fight ahead. You know, when you win the big game before you go to the state championship, you still go out and celebrate. The election victory was huge. Now

we get to fixing the country. And fixing the country isn't going to be something that just happens overnight or even in the first quarter or two of Trump's urn. Remember he hasn't even been an office two months, and they're saying, oh, look at the price of eggs, look at the stock marker, look at noise. This is noise.

And there's also an important perception management that has to go on here where if you're going to contract government and if we have become for GDP purposes reliant on government's expansion, as in too much spending the government just creates, creates the perception of additional value. It's just numbers on a screen, or it's paying bureaucrats who do nothing. I mentioned you yesterday twenty five percent of new jobs under

Biden government jobs. The government is putting out twenty five percent of the new jobs that are being created over the course of an entire twenty twenty three I think, and twenty twenty four is close to it, if not the same, that's not making any of us better off. That is just expanding the scope and price tag of

the government itself. To deal with that though, it's a little bit like going on a diet something I know about, because you're going to be hungry, and if we have to be hungry here when it comes to government spending a little bit. This is the thing it's all about.

It's all about proportion, it's all about balance. Trump is trying to restore balance, Elon Doze, They're trying to restore sanity in the way that the government spends, in the way that the government takes your money in your name and puts it to use, in many cases, very bad use, in some cases, just effectively lighting money on fire. To stop that process from happening, there's going to be fierce opposition, which we have already seen, right, especially when you start

to touch these NGOs. I think it was Elon who said, and it's so right. How is it a non government organization if the government is entirely responsible for funding it, that's just a cutout. That's what we would call it intelligence circles, right, that's a carve out, it's a proxy. So something was very wrong with that whole situation, and now many of us are far more aware of it than we ever we ever had been in the past.

So that's an important win. And now we're looking at the beginning of stopping the spending juggernaut from just rampaging forward toward forty trillion dollars of debt. It's not going to be easy, and it is not going to be without a little bit of rumbling along the way. There's there's going to be some moments where things are going to look a little bit tougher than they might have been if we just continued spending. But we can't continue

the spending. And this is why Trump has come out and said that he wants to put the country on a firmer economic footing. He wants to do what he can so that This isn't just about what the stock market looks like now, it's how far is your paycheck going in a year, in two years, in five years. This is about turning around a massive part of the economic engine here so that it is and really redoing parts of it so that it can function more efficiently

for everyone. Because we've seen what the inflation has done to your ability to pay your rent. We've seen if you are asset light in this economy, meaning if you don't own a lot of stuff that is productive, stocks, real estate, things like that, if you don't know, then that all gets infla along with the inflation. And so what it does is it squeezes those who are working for paychecks for a living, which is the vast majority

of the American people. Those who are doing work and trying to get ahead and just trying to pay their bills and do it the right way, they have a tougher time, and it is effectively attacks on them to continue to spend at the levels we have currently seen. This has to be addressed, This has to be changed. And this is also why you will see Democrats are You'll notice there's no spending that they really want to cut.

They like the control that this gives them. There's a tremendous amount of social engineering that is possible when you're spending so much money that nobody even knows what you're spending it on or who's getting it. It is such a shield. It is such a shroud for corruption because if you don't if no one really knows where the money's going. The numbers are so big and there's so many things, how can you ever get a handle on this. This is where Trump and Elon and Doge come in

and the fight over the government shutdown. I have a tough time getting all that energized about this. One way or the other. We've been through this before. It's a lot of brinksmanship and blame game stuff, and eventually the government will be funded if they allow it to be defunded temporarily or the funding to run short. I believe Trump then is in a position to just decide what is considered essential and what keeps running. So there's that.

But here is Speaker Johnson who is trying to wrangle all of this, and he's saying that it's Democrats who are taking this to the point where there could be a shutdown. Play one.

about the prospect of government shutdowns. Democrats have been insisting they're fighting for federal workers. You're about to see again on vivid display very clear the contrast. You will see one team that is working to fund the government and make sure we do the responsible thing. And you're going to see another posing as r because they've now exposed the truth. They're not for federal workers, they're not for anyone.

All the people they've said in the past that are going to be harmed would be by their votes.

spending us all into oblivion. Tackling this is a critical issue. I've said it from the very beginning. Are borders and the government cutting it down to side, cutting the spending down, cutting the bureaucray down the two most important missions of the Trump administration. We've seen excellent work at the border so far. Thank you Tom Homan and team, and credit to DHS Secretary Nome. Credit to the people that are doing what is necessary to secure our border. So that

it's ninety five percent down for illegal crossings. Interior enforcement is the harder problem. I will always be honest with you. That is even more challenging, and that will require more political will and more infrastructure. It's millions, it's tens of millions of people that you're talking about who are at least possible deportees. And then you have tackling the government beast.

You see, the Democrats had created a system where they win no matter what, even when they lose elections, they win because the spending is automatic, because the bureaucracy is huge, because there's no accountability in DC, and it's just one free for all with your money, you go to work, you spend your life and your time trying to be

productive and provide for your family. And the shenanigans in DC means that you're a hamster on a treadmill that keeps going faster and faster and faster, and how are you supposed to keep up? That's not good. And Trump recognizes that his team sees what's going on and they are taking steps to make this better. It's not going to be perfect, it's not going to be quick, and it's not going to be that easy. There's going to be a little bit of disruption. The markets may be

in some tumult here for a few months. Of course, of course, when you're correcting a problem, there tends to be right in. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When you stop overspending, it's going to feel like things are a little lean sometimes, but for a vast majority of people. I truly believe it's vast degory of Americans. This is clearly the way it has to be done, and it has to be done now. By the midterms,

we're back to business as usual. By the midterms 're just arguing over how to move the deck chairs on our fiscal titanic. It's not good. It's a horrible feeling when you discover your personal information is in the hands of a cyber hacker. These criminals work silently and in the background to break into databases, including your confidential information. You usually don't find out about it until after the damage is done, leaving you with a mess to deal with.

Closing accounts and canceling credit cards that have been compromised. Lots of places can accidentally expose your personal information, giving these cyber hackers a headstart That's why having lifelocks online identity theft pction protection is a huge help.

little bit of a deep dive into the analysis. Donald Trump from Truth Social I'm quoting now based on Ontario, Canada placing a twenty five percent tariff on electricity coming into the United States. I've instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an additional twenty five percent tariff to fifty percent tariff on all steel and aluminum coming into the United States from Canada, one of the highest tariffing nations anywhere in the world. Okay, So he says, this will

go into effect tomorrow morning, March twelve. He says Canada must drop their anti American farmer tariff of two hundred and fifty percent on various US dairy products. I'll declare a national emergency in electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the US to do what needs to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada. Okay, couple

thanks here. First of all, as we've already established, because this is so important I understand the economic consensus, such as it exists among among economists is that tariffs are almost like it's like a sales tax or it's just it's a tax that consumers pay and it lessens aggregate demand, and so they just say that's bad. They just view tariffs bad. They want total free trade. That's the least theoretically. The problem with this, and this is why I gave

economists a little rough stuff yesterday. The problem with this is that there are a lot of tariffs and a lot of protectionist policies in place all over the world already, including with our neighbors Mexico and Canada. So we're not starting from a place of everything is level. Why are you making it not level with your tariff. This is where we get to reciprocal tariff, right in the word reciprocal. They're doing this to us, and so we do something

in response. If if my neighbor Clay hates leaf blowers, and by the way, he has spot on leaf blowers drive me insane too. If my neighbor is using a leaf blower super loudly and they won't stop at you know, seven o'clock at night, eight o'clock at night, because as we know, this is leaf blower should be a nine to five thing. You shouldn't wake anybody up, You shouldn't keep anybody from going to sleep anyway. Some of you are going to take issue with that, but you're wrong.

If I then start playing loud music, if I start blasting Beethoven over the fence so that they get the hint, I'm not the noise polluter. I'm engaged in a reciprocal act of noisemaking so that they will stop. Although maybe they'll just love the Beethoven. This is a total digrette, you know what. I'll come to this later. I actually experience something in Nashville when it comes to classical music I thought was fascinating. But I'll tell you about that in a moment. I don't want to I don't I

don't want to weave too much. I don't want to weave too much Trump weaves. I weave without clay. Here my weave can sometimes spin off into So I'm going to get back on the tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, meaning they are doing this to us. Why would a country, why would Canada have a two hundred and fifty percent tariff on our dairy going across the border unless there were some benefit to them. Of course, there is some benefit

to your domestic producers and domestic industry. And so that's why other countries do this to us, right, I mean, we're just we're just looking at this logically. Put aside, you know, whether somebody is Paul Krugman is an economist who got a Nobel prize, the guys a moron. So you know, it's not like we have to just sit there and say, oh, whatever you say. Economists. Now you look at individual tariffs on individual on an individual basis,

and you realize they are a tool. It is a tool, just like for example, sanctions saying now that's a more that's more aggressive. But you know, sanctions are a tool, sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes good sometimes bat it depends. It is case dependent. And this is what gets lost in so much of the discussion about this because people just say they have this this automatic wave of the hand, will all the economists say, And I'm like, you know,

what do all the economists really know? You know, you got to ask that question what they what have they gotten right about the economy recently? Not a whole lot. Now, there are obviously exceptions to this. We have some great economists, and we've had Art Laugher on the show and Steve Borr on the show, and they're brilliant guys out there. But I mean, the it's like the same thing with

the foreign policy consensus. If you listen to the DC based foreign policy consensus, there's not a war we shouldn't fight, there's not an invasion we shouldn't do. You know, America is the global police and they've been very wrong and we've paid a heavy price for this. With the so called economic consensus, we have been on the receiving end of tariffs and what you could say our trade war acts for a long time, and we don't do anything

in response. This is where Trump was right on the issue of China in his first term, and the DC consensus was so remember I say DC consensus because a lot of Republicans. It's not just Democrats opposed Trump period. Democrats. You know, Trump says, hey, it's a nice day, and they're like, it's a terrible day. Seventy five degrees and breezy is terrible. They don't care. But there are Republicans

that go along with this as well. There are Republicans that decide, Oh, I disagree with Trump on this issue, and they were proven wrong in the first term on China in my opinion, and I think in everyone's opinion, because even Biden kept a lot of the Trump China policies in place on trade. We want to get them to stop doing what they're doing. So we are then creating the threat of tariffs, creates and even a more

even playing ground for our producers and our consumers. Why should we have less access to their market than they have to ours. Ah And this is again where it's a tool. Now we have the premiere of Ontario, Doug Ford here talking tough about terrif fights with Trump play this one.

more electricity, more critical minerals. I want to make Canada in the United States the richest, most successful, safest.

are a tool. Okay, will something be Will something be more expensive as a result of tariff, particularly over a relatively short period of time, Yes, But are there more important things than the cost of goods in that one sector for that period of time. This is a decision to be made, right, What is more important that we keep I don't know the cost of textiles brought in

from Mexico. I think those are even brought in mostly from Southeast Asia now, But whatever were the cost of avocados, That's what we always Oh my gosh, if we do anything with Mexico and trade, you're your avocado toast is going to be And that's always a cheap shot. They take at US Millennial and gen Z with the avocado toast is delicious, but they say, your avocado is going

to be so expensive? All right, If a fifty percent increase in the cost of avocados is something that we're willing to bear in order to get a fifty percent reduction in I don't know sentinel seizures at the border. Is that worth it? Again, it is a tool. It's something that Trump is using. Did Trump blow up the economy? And this is the other part of this I get

too as well. Did Trump blow up the economy in the first administration when he was doing these different maneuvers on trade, when he negotiated the US Canada Mexico agreement. What is the record of Trump on the economy? Phenomenally strong? Right? Who knows more than Trump, who has been in a position of leadership, who's been a president in recent memory? No one, No one is better on the economy than Trump. I would say, as president in my lifetime, better than Bush,

better than Obama, better, obviously better than Biden. I mean, you can go back to Reagan, but there are some things that would I would quibble with when it comes to some of well, really on immigration with Reagan, that's where we have a departure, more so than on the economy. Nonetheless, I think that Trump has earned the leeway to pursue these paths without people freaking out, at least on our side.

The Democrats are going to freak out no matter what, but on our side of things, it's going to be it's going to be a little bit of time, and there's going to be a little bit of disruption, because to be a disruptor to the system requires some disruption.

This is very straightforward. You're not going to fix this stuff without there being a little bit of whoa okay, And there's going to be kicking and screaming from bureaucrats and the deep state and the Democrats and the anti Trump media that's looking for anything to say that is noive for Trump. So when we talk about tariffs, I just think it's important to put it in the context of one, it's a negotiating tool. Some of these tariffs

won't even go into effect. Two, the reciprocal tariffs they are in response to, in a lot of cases, tariffs that already exist with other countries. So we're saying, hey, knock that off, and we'll knock this off. What's wrong with that? I don't understand. Why why should we say that other countries could punish our access to their markets and punish our producers, but we can't do the same. And then three, sometimes there are things that are more important than an increase in the cost in a certain

industry at a certain time. This is really where I get into the agreement on Mexico with Mexico on border issues, that's a critical US national security and sovereignty interest. It's not just about the price of avocados. So with that in mind, I understand we don't want things to get crazy. We don't want prices to skyrocket. The trumpet is sensitive

to it. But just remember the same people who are criticizing this with the most fervor in the media and in a commentariat, we're the ones who were telling you that Joe Biden with sharp as attack. Why would you believe them now? Why do they have credibility now on this issue? So we give it some time, We let this play out, We let Trump do what he does. Okay, he's got Elon Musk. You got people running around Democrats, Elon Musk is dumb. Anybody who tells you Elon Musk

is dumb shouldn't be listened to on anything. And I don't know how they can even tie their own shoes. They shouldn't be listened to on a single issue period, full stop. All right, We've got very smart people. I do not have concerns, especially on the economic and budget cutting side of this administration. You have an all star team that has been assembled. Look at the people who are criticizing it. They when I said, look it's okay to say I disagree with this tariff for that tariff,

that's fine. I mean the ones we're saying, we're session it's gonna be terrible. They're trying to induce fear in people to turn them against what Trump is trying to do. This is the moment where we have to sort of steal our spines and say, all right, let's go. We wanted this ride, we said, we said Trump, I'm tall enough for the roller coaster. Let's get on the roller coaster. It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be great. But there are gonna be sometimes where it's a little whoa. We're

going pretty fast. I'm just saying now, look, a lot of people have go bags in the event of an emergency. What about having a stay bag to protect your home if the threat is at your doorstep. Our sponsor, Saber, manufactures a whole array of self and home defense tools that you want to have in your home arsenal. Now, Saber is spelled Sabre.

tell you. Also training with this so you get comfort with it. It's a lot of fun. Clay and I have done this. The pepper projectile launcher from Saber is the best. It is the only sixty gage launcher on the market. There are others that try to copy this,

they're not as good. I've tried all of them. Sabers are the best in class when it comes to having a pepper launcher projectile because that pepper cloud can stop that threat very quickly and you don't have to be super accurate because it creates a six foot pepper cloud spray.

of I mean openly opposed the whole thing. As soon as two weeks to slow over was it ten days or two weeks? It is two weeks to slow the spread. I'm even forgetting now ten days to slow the spread, whatever it was. As soon as that was over, I was like, Okay, let's go back to life. We gave we gave the we gave the hospital capacity, we gave them time to get ready and catch up, and then they said no. And then we realized it was a

bait and switch. And then we realized that we were getting a little trial run of authoritarianism, and it was the health bureaucracy. It's like it had taken over the government, and certainly at the state level, we saw just madness. And I'm very very thankful to Donald Trump for allowing the State of Florida. Remember he did not come down

hard and everyone wanted to oh the federal government. He allowed the State of Florida to be a laboratory of freedom during COVID and Governor DeSantis for being the best noun. Nobody was perfect. Everybody had a little period of a few weeks or so or a couple of months where they were allowing restrictions in their states. But some people figured out what was going on pretty quickly. In others, like the Democrats, just kept getting crazier and crazier for years,

crazier and crazier so that I just wanted to know it. Yes, it's five years, not three years, and it is amazing. Now I really think of my life in my mind, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. There are two events, historical events that are my my sort of before and after for periods. Right, It's like when did the when did the medieval period turn into the Renaissance turn into you know those time markers and it's nine

to eleven and COVID lockdowns. Those are just two things in my mind that there's there was, there was the before and after world that I lived in and the before and after world that I lived in with COVID. So those are two two things. The other bombs budsman note that I would point out is, yes, I know that I need a haircut. For those of you who are watching on the video stream, no, I do not use a weed whacker, and I think that's very mean.

So yes, I'm getting a haircut, probably probably even tomorrow. I'll go see a couple of my I got a couple of Cuban American friends here who do a great job, nice and quick. They don't they don't want to like get chatty with me. They just do a great job cutting their hair. And they bring me the Cuban coffee in a little just a little tiny bit of it. That stuff is good, almost crocket level good. I'm telling you all right. So yes, it is not in fact a you know, I do not have a wooly mammoth

on my head. All these things that people say I'm true, I'm true, fake news. No wooly mammoth on Buck's head. So elon, musk, elon musk. Here is, first of all, I wanted to note, because I brought it up yesterday, that eck was down for a bit, and that's troubling because X is now the first line social media platform for free speech. I know about truth and Rumbull, I'm on those platforms too, but X has broader reach. That's why I was acquired forty forty four billion dollars or

whatever it is. And Elon said something that I just have to know that this is very interesting and I'm not a technical Well, yeah, clearly, I'm not a technological expert, so I can't speak to how verified or verifiable this is. But this has cut five. He said that the massive attacks attack on X which shut it down various times throughout the day, came from and he want to guess play five.

He said it's not He even said it's not definitive or all that clear, but it is interesting that that might have happened. I'm just going to know that that is a situation that we should pay some attention to. Somebody in Ukraine would be taking it upon themselves. It was sophisticated too. This is not something that I think would be easy for some individual to just pull off. What's what's wrong with people being able to share information freely about the Ukraine and what's going on over there?

Why would anyone want to stop that? I think that is very interesting. You had Senator Mark Kelly who wanted to be I think Vice President Mark Kelly, but probably made a smart decision not tying himself to the Kamala ticket. To be fair, this is cut nine. He elon Musk called him said that it's Mark Kelly went to Ukraine on his own to do one of these Ukraine tours. Elon didn't like it. I think he said that that's a betrayal, or he's he's betrayed his country. He's a

trader for doing this. And here's what Mark Kelly said about Elon in response, play nine thou.

of value to humanity in the process. He's he's not He's not a serious person. If el Musk is not a serious person, who is who is? You know, you have to have to wonder about this assessment of him. The work that Doze is doing is certainly serious and important. And here he is Elon speaking about that. This is cut seven. He just wants everybody to know how essential Doze is. So essential to him. Here's a guy. Let me just take a step back before we play that cut.

Elon is as part of his mission, specifically with SpaceX, he wants us to get to Mars because he wants humanity to be interplanetary in case something terrible happens here, asteroid hit, nuclear war, whatever. Right. I think he actually

is a little worried about climate change. I hope he's moderated that because I'm not saying Elon's right about everything, but he wants us to be interplanetary, so he thinks the survival of the human species over the long run requires us to be a multiplanetary I'm sorry I said inter multiplanetary planetary species. Now he is willing for free to take time away from that mission to help Donald Trump to try to fix the government in this country. I think that goes to how important he thinks it is.

I also think anybody who tells you that Elon's only in this for his billionaire friends is a moron. That's just that's absurd. He's the richest guy in the money. He's got more money than any other human being alive in the world. There's seven billion people in the world. He's the richest one, and you think that this is all a game because he wants more money. I mean, once you're worth a billion dollars, like, how much money does how much value? Does money even have additional money?

It's a very steep decline. You know, your first one hundred thousand dollars in the bank, I've been there building it up. Makes a big difference that first one hundred grand, first ten grand. If you don't have it, man, you get that I got. I got a you know, a couple of months or six months or whatever it is of security in the bank. If I were to lose my job, that really helps. Right when you're worth three hundred billion dollars. Being worth three hundred and fifty billion

dollars doesn't get you out of bed in the morning. Okay, nobody cares. So these attacks about that are absurd. And anyway, here's what he says about Doge And how important is this this cut seven plays? What motivates you to do this?

A lot of ideologically toxic left wing stuff relies on government funding, a lot of uniparty activity, and we're in charge even when we lose elections, relies on the massive federal bureaucracy, relies on the bureaucracy's ability to give a lot of money to people that nobody even knows about. We need this transparency and everyone should want it, and that Democrat don't, and that they hate Elon. You got lunatic Democrats who are lighting Tesla's on fire now as

some kind of anti Elon protest. You're not going to bank bankrupt Elon by throwing a maltof cocktail in a cyber truck in Oregon or whatever. You're just being an idiot, right, which is not a surprise. But why do they hate him so much? Because he's a threat to the ideological system of the left. Because the ideological system of the left, the apparatus as I have called it for a long time, needs the fraud and needs to avoid and evade accountability

of the American people. That's why they get so upset about this. That's why there's such rage about Elon specifically. There is no good faith reason to be angry about what Elon is trying to accomplish, and all Democrats do is complain about it. All they do is try to stand in his way. It tells you everything you need to know. Tomorrow, join me online for a special videotaped interview. It starts at eleven am Eastern, just an hour before the show. It's a conversation with my dad. You won't

want to miss. I grew up in New York, Citi, as you know, in a stockbroker family. My dad was a stockbroker and made his name by making incredible calls in advance about where the market's going. Most notably, he became famous back in eighty seven when he called the crash in advance on TV. He nailed it. He also called the crash in two thousand and nine for his private clients. It's an incredible track record. The predictions are too numerous to get into all here, but the big one,

the latest one, comes tomorrow, March twelfth. Register online to check this out. It's an hour before this radio show starts. To sign up for the event. It's free. Go to this website. Disruption twenty twenty five dot com. That's Disruption twenty twenty five dot com paid for Paradigm Press.

of property. There were crimes that were committed. Now I'm not saying these are all serious felonies or you know, there's something, but there were there were crimes that were committed on campus. And Trump has said that they can either clean up their act or they're going to lose I think they're set to lose hundreds of millions of dollars at Columbia in federal grants. Why are private institutions like Columbia getting hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money?

Very good question, something to be looked at. We're going to look at that. But this case is interesting to me. There's a lot of back and forth. The Speaker of the House just you know, it's already gone up to that level. Speaker of Ause Johnson took time from the ongoing wrangling of Members of Congress or the continuing resolution to address this, and he said that this is cut eighteen. Here's Speaker Mike Johnson play it.

back in the day. It's been a while I could still write it, I guess if I had to. So yeah, anyway, So this guy Khalil, he was arrested at his home by ICE agents and is facing deportation. He's a big pro Palestinian guy. Now, this is where it all gets kind of. This is where a lot of the fighting happens, right because they say, well, you're allowed to be pro Palestinian. Okay, yeah,

you're allowed to be pro Palestinian. Sure, I'm talking about First Amendment stuff, But are you proposed, Tony, you're pro Hamas. AMA's a terrorist entity. If you are selling T shirts to raise money for Hamas, it's a designated terrorist. And I'm not saying he did this. I'm just working through some of the the you know, the intricacies here of this of this case. If you're selling T shirts or mugs.

You know, if you're selling a mug, iHeart Hamas. First of all, you're a lunatic second of all, and you're trying to send that money to Hamas. That's material support to a terrorist organization. I think you can get ten years ten years federal for that. So that's clearly a violation of the law. And that's for anybody. You're here at as an American Green carn hold that does matter any you can't do that. You're you're in US jurisdiction of any kind and you're doing some material support for

terrorist organization. Now, can you speak in favor of a terrorist organization under the First Amendment? Clearly you can. So you can say you know, you can't say that I agreed with, you know, the plans of Abu Bakkerel Baghdadi to create a caliphate or something. You know, you can say that, but you can't take any steps to advance or assist or help because then again we get back to material support. You can't be a US spokesman for that group. Then you're definitely going to Gitmo or something.

So there are places where this cross is over very quickly. Here is what we know about this guy, Khalil. He was at Columbia. He was a prominent face of these again they called them protests. It was really and there were Jewish students who were you know, hounded and harassed on campus. I hate all of that, like I you know how I feel about Israel's fight against Amas. Could not be more in favor of Israel doing what it needs to defend itself. You know how I feel about

anti Semitism, and it has no place anywhere here. Here's the only place where I have a little bit of a question about this. On the one hand, I feel very strongly that if you're if you're a guest here, you've got to be on meaning if you're not, you know, if you're somebody who's visited, and this even includes people who have a green card, you're not yet a citizen.

If you break the law, you gotta go. You got to go, right that I am, And that has not been the cases we've seen with a lot of there's so so much of a lack of enforcement on this. But if you break the law, you got to go. And it doesn't have to be like a rape or a murder. It's just if you break the law and you are charged with a crime, you gotta go. The issue that I see here is this guy I don't believe has been charged with any crime. I don't believe

he's been charged with any crime. His behavior, from what I can gather from everything, is abhorrent. I disagree with him on everything. I think he's a scumbag. He's a

guest in this country. Yes, So he has that elevated, that elevated expectation of you know, you don't get to just do whatever, like you don't get And now in the actual laws that pertain to this with when it comes to immigration, there are you know, there are things that specifically cite a desire to overthrow the United States by force so if you're even so, there are ideological

places where you you know first of it. If you come to this country and you're let's say you're from communist China and you are visiting on a student visa and you start saying out in public, I think that there should be a violent revolution overthrow the United States government. I'm out, we can kick your butt out of here. That is in the law. There's no doubt about that right.

That is that is statute. I actually was reading the statue before I came on this morning to make sure a lot of immigration statutes are ignored as we know, and that should not be the case because they are existing law, just like all the other laws. With this guy, where I think it gets interesting is has he if he's gonna be sent home as a as somebody who's here on a student visa as a Green card holder? I've heard both. By the way, guys, can we check on that is he a green card holder? Or is

he here on a student visa? Or is it is it one then the other? Is it both? Got to check his status. You should be on your best behavior here. You do not have the full rights of a citizen here. Obviously you can't vote. There's a whole bunch of things. If you're a guest here, you you should just be

thankful and total obedience to the law. If he broke the law, and that's why we're sending him home, well there should there should at least be a charge filed, right that somebody should charge him with.

assault and battery, destruction of property, any of that. But to say that he's done it and therefore we're kicking him out without him being charged with any of that that I know he's a scumback. I don't like this guy or what he stands for either, but we have there there is due like there is due process. We still do need due process. So has he gotten that due process yet? That that is a question that I

have about this. A judge has already blocked now I'm sure a left wing judge his removal from the US pending an action on habeas as in, why is this guy in custody? This is going to get interesting because if he's in custody for not you know, for saying bad things, Okay, well that's not really a crime. If he's in custody for breaking laws, let's bring that charge and then let's go and let's find him guilty, and

then let's send his ass home. Very straightforward again, I'm all for you have to behave and you have to obey the law in this country, especially if you're a visitor or else you go home. No, no offens or butts. But if we're saying that he was trying to call for the violent, I think he wanted to call for And by the way, I'm raising questions here, I haven't been able to look at everything this guy's ever said.

And there's I think he said he wants to the downfall of Western civilization, right, And that's where we get to. Can you look at the downfall of Western civilization as the equivalent in statute of a violent overthrow of the United States government. You know, it's it's getting pretty close. This is this is where the judgment starts to come in again. Anybody who wants the violent overthrow of or the overthrow rather Western civilization, I'm opposed to with every

fiber of my being. It would be a disaster, not just for those of us who live in Western civilization, but for the rest of the world because we kind of prop up civilization for everybody else too. Just saying so, I want to see what exactly it was that uh, and this is gonna come out in the Habeas Habeas corpus petition, right, this is what they're fighting over. Okay, well,

why is this guy in custody? And I keep hearing all of these different things, and now I'm just gonna I'm just gonna say this, is this applicable in this case specifically applying to issues of anti Semitism and anti Jewish speech on campus? Is it going to be applied to other speech on campus that is particularly problematic? And who is going to determine what that problematic speech may be? I bring it up because let's just fast forward. Forget

about where we are now. Our team, the good guys are in charge and I know it's like we trust them, right for the most part. You go to a if I say AOC administration, you'll all just start laughing, so you won't even follow the analogy. But you go to a Gavin Newsom, you're probably still laughing. A Gavin Newsom administration. And somebody on campus wants to say or is saying

things that are highly highly offensive to Democrats. Are they going to be able to and they're visiting, right, they're not an American citizen, they do not citizenship, right, our Democrats can be able to say, you're calling for the extermination of trans people, you're calling for violence against trans people. I know you're gonna tell me, oh, no, come on, these people think that a man can become a woman.

You don't think they're going to make this argument. At some point if we start to open this up again, there has to be I just want to know what the clear process is here. Mamood Khalil stands for everything, stands against everything that I stand for on the issues that concerns him or on the reasons, and his anti Semitism is vile and the guy shouldn't be in this country. But I just want and this is where the Habeast peedition comes in. We need clarity on what is the

reason that he's being removed. Because if the executive branch can point to someone and say, well, you're a visitor here and I just don't like what you're saying, even if in this case it's fully warranted, we totally agree with it, there's a precedent that they can just tell people, oh, no, you're not allowed to come here and say that you're not allowed to I'm here as a as a refugee from say, as a white refugee from South Africa, which is another thing that Trump has been talking about and

talk about the state racism in South Africa against white South Africa. No, no, no, not allowed. That that's creating, you know, racial disharmony in this country and it's so you have to go home again in the Gavin Newsom administration. You see what I'm saying. I want clarity in this. I don't I'm not opposed to it, but I want some of these answers because we need to be clear about what the standard is. And the standard can't just

be a one off standard on this issue. As as awful as the anti semitism stuff on campus was because if it is just speech we really don't like on campus. Remember I wrote my college thesis on speech codes on campus, right, So this is going back for me a long time. I was thinking about this issue over twenty years ago and researching it and looking at all the different speech

codes of a whole range of different schools. If it's just going to be you say things that are really heinous and bad, and then they claim that somehow that's inciting violence, and then that's a violation of your student visa, the other side is going to be empower at some point, and I can assure you they will abuse this, which

is why the process matters. So I have a little bit of a different take on this, I think than some other people on the right right now, inso much as I want more I want I want more issues, more answers rather and more clarity on this one. But yes, if you break the law and your visitor gone, If

you violate statute, you're a visitor gone. That is absolutely But you got to do one of those to show me the violation the statute, show me where the law is broken, and show me where the charge has been leveled. It can't just be someone determines it because they say so, right, I would think, unless I guess maybe an immigration judge can just unilaterally decide based on This is where you have to get very specific in the immigration statute. That

may be the case. Executive branch may have full authority tell this guy that, you know, you go packing. And I'm not opposed to that at all. I'm for that. I just want to know what is he being sent packing for, because saying stupid, heinous things I need. I need more specificity than that. If it's overthrowing Western civilization is tantamount to overthrow the United States government, well let's have this will come out in the Habeas petition, by

the way, so we will return to this issue. But I wanted to be, you know, intellectually honest with you as I work through this one and just see what's really what's really at issue, what's really going on here, because I know right now it's like, oh, our team is in charge and it's the pendulum will swing, my friends. Keep that in mind. The Preborn Network of Clinics is an incredible nonprofit that is dedicated to saving the lives of unborn children. Their success over the last couple of
