Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's heard on You's Talk eleven and ninety nine point
three WBT and Charlotte, North Carolina. Please welcome Brett Winterble
filling in for Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And it is a pleasure to be here with you.
I am so excited to be spending this time with you,
especially on this momentous occasion this day. By the way,
I was informed as we were coming on the air,
mark informing me that we are Festivus bound today. This
is Festivus. How about that. I didn't have that on
my chart, but I have it on there now. And
(00:32):
perhaps we'll have the airing of grievances coming out at
the end of the program. But we've got a lot
of stuff happening here and one of the most important
stories that we've seen in our lifetime, let's be honest
about this, is the ascendancy of Donald Trump. And he
was last night. He was brilliant out in Arizona. He's
(00:53):
got so much fight in him. He is ready to
really really get this country back on track. And we'll
let you hear some of the great sound from that.
In addition, the Matt Gets Report was dropped out earlier today.
I gotta be honest with you. I looked at it,
I consumed a lot of it. And the fact is,
(01:16):
when are we going to get all the other reports?
And I'm just saying that if you want to be
a part of the conversation eight hundred and two A
two two eight eight to two, it is a pleasure
to be here for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on
the Clay and Buck Show. So let's go to last
night and this rally that was had, it was it
was turning point, and it was a marafest, and it
(01:38):
was all these great things that were happening all at
the exact same time. And when you think about this
journey that President Trump has has taken, and this is
a man who has been vilified, attempted to be murdered
twice really and and all of the crazy stuff that
(01:58):
has gone on when this guy could have been could
have been just another happy billionaire doing deals, having fun,
all that sort of stuff, and he has absolutely been
an incredible machine, and I mean an incredible machine in
so many ways. Let's take a listen to some of
(02:21):
this from last night. One of the ones that I
thought was really important, and we're going to sort of
maybe go in reverse order a little bit here, so
I'm gonna go to cut number eight. He understands what
the mission is, and he understands that the mission is
to protect America's border, specially in Arizona where he was
(02:42):
Cut number eight, And.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
We're going to change it because your border is a disaster.
Your border is a disaster.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
What's going on and you just.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Have a few days to wait. We're going to be
fully operational. I would say by about two o'clock on
the twentieth.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's amassed. See that's how you do it. You don't
just say, hey, we're gonna secure the border. Hey, we're
gonna get it done. He's laying out a number. He's
saying two o'clock, two o'clock on that first day, we're
gonna start working on this. It's gonna be visible, etc.
Why does that crowd chant or why does that crowd
cheer so loudly for that? Because everybody understands, even these
(03:24):
couple of months removed from the election night itself, everybody
understands what the major drivers are in this country. And
one of the things that I was blessed to do
was to live in New York City for a period
of time a couple of times, and I enjoyed my
(03:48):
time there. But I gotta tell you, with everything that
has happened in the last twenty four hours, I don't
understand how there's not a march on City Hall or
on Albany when you have an absolute demon, and he's
a demon going onto a an F train platform and
(04:09):
lighting a sleeping woman on fire, and she was murdered.
She was murdered in real time, And who is responsible
for that? Kathy Hockel. Kathy Hochel, I would throw a
little blame on the system of injustice there in the
state of New York and in the City of New
York as well. Where's Alvin Bragg? Is he making statements?
(04:32):
Is he saying anything? Is he doing anything? No, No,
he's not. He's all but silent on this particular story. Now,
you cannot expect society to fix itself when it slides
as far as it has gone. When you think about
the direction that this country has gone, and what has
(04:54):
been done to this country, and by extension, what has
been done to the American taxpayers, to the American citizens,
to the legal migrants who have come in. When you
think about all of the damage that has occurred in
this city only as a as a as an example.
(05:18):
But you have it in Chicago, you have it in Denver,
you have it in Aurora, you have it in California,
you have it in parts of Texas. You have this
happening and a president who's non copas mentis, who does
not apparently care about safety and security but for the
people he pardoned in the overnight, which we'll talk about
(05:40):
as well. But you see Donald Trump come out and
he is loaded for bear. He is loaded for bear.
And here's what is so interesting about the way he
came out last night. When he's talking about these different
things that are happening, he uses a very smart term.
Cut number fourteen, Mike. He talks about what this movement
(06:05):
is as it relates to the people who put him
back in office. Cut fourteen.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Scribe today or just a small preview. The actions I
have described today are just a small preview of the
common sense revolution, because that's what I call it, a
common sense revolution that's coming soon to America.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
To a theater.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Dat you right, But.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's coming to you through your President, Donald J.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The people have given us their trust, and in.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Return, we're going to give them the best.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Day one, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary
first one hundred days of any president in American history.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The genius of what Donald Trump is saying and what
he's selling there. He's already got these people supporting him,
but what he is saying to them in the way
he does this is to say, I made promises to you.
I'm going to fulfill those promises, even the ones that
are going to be maybe a little bit messy or
(07:14):
a little bit difficult. But this is a common sense revolution.
Hearkening back right to the language of Ronald Reagan when
he came in in nineteen eighty one, after the disaster
that was Jimmy Carter, after the disaster of all of
these places that he's gone and seen and been a
(07:35):
part of. This is a man who understands because of
where he comes from. And Donald Trump President elect, Donald Trump,
former President Donald Trump. He remembers the bad old days
in New York City. He remembers the Dinkin days or
the Stinkins days. He remembers what happened in the nineteen
(07:56):
seventies Mayor Lindsay and all of these failing that took place,
And he saw what happened when you elected Rudy Giuliani
to become the mayor of the City of New York
and became America's mayor in large measure. But when you
see what he did, when you see what he did,
the transformation that happened, well, that lifted all the boats
(08:19):
America saw in New York City in that period of time,
after the degradation in the late nineteen eighties and into
the very early nineties, America saw this phoenix rise from
the ashes. And President Trump understands marketing. There's no doubt
(08:44):
about that. President Trump understands what Americans want and what
they need. And it's very basic. I said this in
twenty sixteen. The candidate Donald Trump was emulating was not
necessarily a huge expansive sort of campaign that he put together.
(09:10):
He was running like America's mayor. Safe streets, secure border,
the ability to have a business and not have to
worry that some crackhead is going to kill you or
one of your customers, all of that stuff. It's super
basic and super easy. When you compare what Trump has
(09:31):
done and you compare what Biden did, you have mirror opposites.
One of them is pro growth, pro life pro opportunity.
The other was an America in decline and only only
catering to those who were the biggest perpetrators in declining
(09:56):
what America was and what America is. So when President
Trump comes out and gives that speech last night and says,
this is a common sense revolution, everybody understands what common
sense is because everybody knows that there are people in
their lives who make horrible decisions time and time and
time again, and people just watch these people slide. This
(10:19):
has got to stop. I would argue, this wasn't just
a change election that we went through. This is an
opportunity in one term, with no limits, to change back
time in this country where you can be safe on
the streets, where you can be free to start that business,
(10:44):
where life is important and the quality of life is important.
Final thought on this very quickly, you saw how many
gen Z people have come out and supported Donald Trump.
You saw a lot of people coming out who felt
(11:04):
like they had been left behind. But what is so
important about what we saw take place in this election.
It's not difficult at all. We understand what's at stake.
And those gen Zers were fifth graders and sixth graders,
and seventh graders when they were growing up and they
(11:25):
saw a good economy, they saw what a vacation felt like.
They saw all of that, and they paid it back
because they had the experience of the first term, they
had the disaster of the Biden term, and they now
have the hope for the second Trump term. We'll take
(11:46):
your phone calls. Eight hundred two eight two two eight
eight to two. I'm Brett whitterble In for Clay and Buck.
You're listening to the Clay and Buck Show. Spend Christmas
Eve with I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Find them on the iHeart app or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
So I am Brett Wittable in for clam Buck today.
It's a pleasure to be with you here. And I
love this. This is one of my favorite songs of
all time. Mike, Just FYI keep that one in the
rotation because that is that is great music. And I
like unconventional music by and large. But you know what
else I like. I like watching people be held to
(12:28):
account to their hypocrisy. Here's here's what I want to
play for you. This is going to be cut number five.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Mike.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Apparently, apparently AOC is worried about the oligarchs here in
America taking root.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Go Oh, I don't think we're witnessing the start of
an oligarchy. I think we are fully here. You literally
have a completely unelected billionaire who has just taken over
and paused government funding to specifically take out provisions regarding
(13:11):
China and other areas that pertain to him. You have
billionaires who run news outlets like Jeff Bezos and the
Washington Post, billionaires that run the La Times, completely interjecting
into their editorial boards and manipulating what's being written in them.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh boy, I have to unpack this, and I'm going
to do it very very quickly. AOC is dead wrong.
She's one hundred percent incorrect. If you look at the
oligarchs in this country right now today, the oligarchs are
all assembled on the left. Well, because you've got a
couple of billionaires, and you've got somebody who's an inventor,
(13:58):
and you've got somebody else over here who's trying to
make the country functional and that sort of stuff. No, no, no,
no, no no no. The overweight is over on the left.
They are overweighted. If you want to use the oligarchs thing, Okay,
you can. You know, it's it's just one of those
(14:18):
phrases that seems to not resonate with the American people.
But what the American people do understand when they look
at these sort of accusations that come from AOC is
that the powerful are the universities, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the
drug cartels, international people who are trying to undermine the
(14:40):
United States of America, all that sort of stuff. See,
what she doesn't understand is using the word oligarch does
not make you sound smarter. It makes you sound like
you just live by the talking point. With all due
respect to the congresswoman from New York And by the way,
I was rooting for you to get the job in
(15:03):
the House Oversight Committee instead of Jerry Connolly because he's
like one hundred and seventy nine years old. Now, I
wanted to see new blood in that so I'm actually
I'm actually pushing. I was pushing for her to go
get that job because I wanted to see all the
great speeches she could give and none of the legislation
that she would ever submit. But the oligarchs are not
(15:24):
threats in the United States of America. In the way
she's trying to sell it to you. The oligarchs are
the people that control the levers of power. You want
to know an oligarch, how about somebody who is strong
enough and powerful enough and famous enough to get rid
of Joe Biden from the ticket, George Clooney, Barack Obama,
(15:44):
the Clintons, who else? Who else can we throw into
that pile? Those are the oli garks, if you want
to use that silly word. These are people who are
just just too smart for us. Well, coming up, I'm
going to let you hear some more from President Trump
last night. It is a real pleasure to be here
(16:08):
with you. My name is Brett Whittererble. I am the
host of the Brett Wittererble Show in Charlotte, North Carolina,
and I am happier than anything in the whole world
to be spending this time with the smartest audience in
all of radio. We're gonna get a break in be
back right after this and now back to Brent Winterble
(16:31):
filling in for Clay and Buck. It's pleasure to be
here with you, and an incredible time of the year.

And I just want to mention about festivis.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Yeah, I've got mine up.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Mi. Mine's in the mine's in the backyard. Mine's in
the backyard. Is laying on the ground because you know,
I only I only raise the I only raise that
pole one day a year. And that's it's not quite yet.
I'm going to do it at the end of the program.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
I'm glad you're reminded me. I must take mine down.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
That's right, you know what you know? Want to get
hit by the h o hey man. Okay, no, no, no, no, no,
what else you got?
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Happy festivals anyway?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
All right? You as well, you as well make sure
you air those grievances. Okay, that's that's the most important
part of it. You start fresh with a Christmas Day.
So there you go, David. I appreciate the call, Thank
you very much, and have a very merry Christmas and
a very happy and successful Festivus in which you raised
the poll. Casey is in Tennessee next formerly of California.
(18:39):
What's going on? Casey Nada?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
God, sir?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
And to your family, Oh, thank you very much, and
to you as well, my friend.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I now in Tennessee, sir.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You live in Tennessee, God's country, absolutely on the other
side of them from us. That's right.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
That's it. And I when I listen to the show,
I love it. Your listeners need to know that you
are head and shoulders above ninety nine percent of them.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Okay, well listen, I'm going to have to pop my
bubble over my head here because it's going to my
head's my head is going to explode in that regard.
Let me ask you a question though. Okay, you're in Tennessee.
This is a place that is now really, let's be
honest here one of the important states in the Union,
(19:30):
especially with people who have been moving in, but also
when it comes to defending freedom and liberty and all
that sort of stuff. How do you assess how things
are going to be going in twenty twenty five and
beyond from the perspective of being in Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Well, nothing will change. This isn't a fad here in Tennessee.
It's a way of life that's good. They're very respectful.
Their religion plays a big role in their lives. It's
open carry. It's and I don't mean liquor bottles. For
those in California, show up and carry and concealed.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
If you want.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
You know, a little things like you got to register
your vehicle. It was like forty nine dollars. It was
like seven hundred and forty nine in California. Stuff like that. Sure,
I save you about forty a year by moving here
from California.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Phenomenal years ago. Phenomenal. And let me just say something.
You don't have to worry about your catalytic converter getting
cut off your vehicle, which is a super benefit in
every possible regard. Thanks so much, Casey. Great to talk
to you. I appreciate it. Let's okay, he mentioned the
name San Diego. Let's go out there and check in
(20:42):
with Jim. Who's checking in with us? Jim, Welcome to
the show.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Hi, this is Jim from start of South Dakota, Brent.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh, South Dakota. My bad, my bad, Okay, I love,
I love starts to South Dakota.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Hey, there's a good choice. Listen. The reason I'm calling
in is, uh, the Matt Gates nomination, the failed nomination.
I've been pretty upset about the waste of of uh,
the President Trump's efforts, because Matt Gates is bringing a
(21:17):
fair amount of questionable behavior to the office. And I
think it was it was a bad choice. But the
other aspect of it is and whether he's guilty or not.
They threw the mud at him, yes, and he didn't
adequately just uh, what do you call it? Defend himself.
But the other aspect of it is that he President
(21:38):
Trump jeopardized that seed in Florida as I see it
with that nomination. I just I don't know why he
wasn't better informed on that move.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, you know, sometimes when you're negotiating, you will you
want people to believe that you know, you're going to
go down a particular road and then see how it
reacts and if it doesn't, if it doesn't play out
that and so be it. I I don't understand, you
know who made that ultimate decision. I'm going to assume
it's the president elect that that made that ultimate decision.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
But when when you look at what is to come,
you may end up with with somebody getting getting a
much stronger hand because of him getting blown out of
that spot, if you know what I'm saying, Like Pam
Bondy right, so she's she's going to be effective. I
think Cash Patel is going to end up clearing I'm
(22:31):
not I'm not super concerned about those those picks. But
you also have a Senate seat that is now going
to go to somebody. And the one thing I don't
think Gates would would would run for that for that job.
But I do think that whoever runs to be the
Senator coming out of the state of Florida, they're gonna
(22:53):
have to be squeaky clean because, uh, the people on
the left do not stop. They they will go right
up the chain.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
As far as they possibly can until they're dissuaded. Now,
one of the things that I thought was interesting, and
thank you very much for the call today, was a
real pleasure to speak with you. When you look at
the Gates Report, most of this stuff, and this is
not to defend or anything like that, but most of
the stuff seems to have stopped in twenty twenty. So
(23:26):
it is twenty twenty four. I don't know what was
going on in that intervening time, but as I was
reading that before the program began today, I said to myself, Okay,
what is this going to do? How is this going
to manifest? Is this going to be a big deal? Well,
Birchett the congressman. Congressman Virchette from Tennessee said, look, this
(23:49):
is a report, so anybody can make a report, anybody
can make an allegation, anybody can do those sorts of things.
And when we come back here in just a couple
of moments, I want to expand this conversation about this
this Gates Report, with an eye towards something else that
(24:10):
also needs to be investigated. So we're gonna grab a
break here real quick, We're gonna come back. I'm gonna
finish this up little story out coming up in the
next hour. Right out of the box. We're gonna be
visited by a great friend of mine. He is Michael Wattley,
RNC chair co chair with Laura Trump, and we're gonna
(24:33):
have a nice conversation about everything that went on in
the last couple of weeks and the look forward. So
don't go away. I'm Brent Wodable. It's a pleasure to
be here on the Clay and Buck Show.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Clay Travison, Buck Sexton, Mike drops that never sounded so good.
Find them on the Free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And I am Brett Wable in for Clay and Buck
on the Clayan Buck Show. It's great to be with
you today as we get right into the reason for
this season and the Christmas holiday that's coming up here.
It's you know, it's just such a great time to
be alive, especially to see all the stuff that's happening
(25:17):
and the greatness that this country is going to once
again get at. So when we were talking about the
Gates Report, and I said that, Congressman Burchett said, you know,
it's a report, it's twenty twenty is the cutoff of
these allegations. That's worth noting stuff, right, I mean, it's
important to see how that all plays out. But but
(25:40):
since nineteen ninety seven, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights
has paid out eighteen point two million dollars to settle
two one hundred and ninety one cases of workplace disputes
for Congress, the Capitol Police, the Ark of the Capitol,
(26:00):
and the Library of Congress. So eighteen point two million
because people were being harassed sexually probably, and who knows
how else they were being maltreated by people that you
would expect more from, right, the guardians of the democracy,
as they always say, the guardians of the democracy. Andrew
(26:25):
Andrew Juiceki, who unfortunately passed away back back in August,
young guy fifty five years old. He had an operation
that he was running called I don't mean an operation
like a medical I mean an organization called Open the
Books and you you could look them up and you
could look into these different things. He was adamant about saying, Okay,
(26:51):
let's not just pick and choose who were going to
target for a violation of ethics. Let's see where the
money is going. Remember the eighteen point two million dollars
Congressional slush fund originally kind of caught fire during the
me too movement. Since nineteen ninety seven, the Office of
(27:11):
Congressional Workplace Rights paid out eighteen point two million dollars
to settle twenty one cases of workplace disputes for Congress,
the Capitol Police, the Architect of the Capital, the Library
of Congress. As I mentioned, when the news first broke
of the settlement account, Congress was accused of having a
veritable me too slush fund to secretly pay off victims
(27:36):
of sexual harassment. Reports surfaced that then Representative John Conyers,
Democrat from Michigan, negotiated a secret settlement with a female
staffer who accused him of sexual misconduct, and the eighty
eight year old quickly resigned from the Congress. Turned out
(28:01):
turned out, Kanyer's congressional office budget paid out his sexual
misconduct settlement, meaning that that total wasn't even included in
the multimillion dollar slush fund reported total. Slowly, it emerged
(28:23):
that the fund appropriated by Congress annually included payouts for
workplace safety and pay disputes in addition to sexual harassment. Claims,
though many specifics were not reported go Figure until June
eighteenth of fiscal year twenty eighteen. Two senator's offices and
(28:46):
five House members' offices had claims filed against them. An
additional House member's office had a case filed against it
from June nineteenth through December twenty nineteen. Out of the
total twenty filed, so there were twenty filings, though thirty
(29:08):
two allegations of sex gender pregnancy discrimination were filed in
fiscal year twenty eighteen and twenty eight were still filed
in twenty nineteen. It's not known if those types of
discrimination or harassment cases were against congressional offices or other
(29:28):
offices under the fund, but they did. Note a twenty
nineteen report, sixteen employees were paid a total of six
hundred thousan three hundred and sixty three dollars in settlements.
While twenty claims were filed, just sixteen appear to have
been filed by a protected class sex gender pregnancy, three
(29:54):
under the National origin and four under disability, and six
under race or color. Twenty three years and eighteen million
dollars in payouts from the Workplace Rights Office seems taxpayers
might have a right to open those books and to
look at those books. That's what Andrew Juski was doing
(30:18):
back when he passed away. He wanted the books opened
so we knew where the money was being spent and
who was responsible for these violations. Because let's be honest here, folks,
it's twenty twenty four, twenty eighteen, six years ago, twenty nineteen,
five years ago, and these cases that are being alleged
(30:42):
with Matt Gates were in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty,
so obviously we're still in an eligible window of these
cases coming forward. But remember two hundred and ninety one cases.
Did you see a list? Did you see a list
of any kind? No, we got the Gates report. Where
(31:06):
are the other reports? What did Nancy Pelosi cover up?
What did what did anybody else cover up? I mean,
this is the reason why people have doubts about the
people who serve our country. And the fact of the
(31:28):
matter is, this is an abuse of power in a
significant way that should never have been but but is now.
And you know, maybe these people are still serving, Maybe
these people are still in the picture, Maybe these people
(31:49):
are still paying out, and maybe there are people who
are still being abused. Absolutely atrocious. When you see this
and when you understand what we're looking at, well, wouldn't
you want it known if you were to send up
(32:10):
a young person to work as a page in the
capital or to go in and be an intern in
the capitol. Washington, DC is dangerous enough. The city itself
is very violent. You wouldn't want your loved ones to
walk the streets late at night. But are they any
safer walking the halls of the Congress. We know one
thing for a fact. We know one thing for a fact,
(32:34):
the Congress. The Congress may not be safe for anybody
until we find out who all these people were, they
got paid, and what were the payoffs for. That's our
one down, our two straight ahead. Michael Wattley joins us
(32:55):
at the beginning of the hour. I'm looking forward to
this conversation. Thanks so much for spending time with us.
I'm Brett wooderble in for Clay and Buck on the
Clan Buck Radio Show. Eight hundred two eight two two
eight a two eight hundred two eight two two eight
a two. Was that good? That's good? It is the
Klaan Buck Show.
He's heard on You's Talk eleven and ninety nine point
three WBT and Charlotte, North Carolina. Please welcome Brett Winterble
filling in for Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And it is a pleasure to be here with you.
I am so excited to be spending this time with you,
especially on this momentous occasion this day. By the way,
I was informed as we were coming on the air,
mark informing me that we are Festivus bound today. This
is Festivus. How about that. I didn't have that on
my chart, but I have it on there now. And
(00:32):
perhaps we'll have the airing of grievances coming out at
the end of the program. But we've got a lot
of stuff happening here and one of the most important
stories that we've seen in our lifetime, let's be honest
about this, is the ascendancy of Donald Trump. And he
was last night. He was brilliant out in Arizona. He's
(00:53):
got so much fight in him. He is ready to
really really get this country back on track. And we'll
let you hear some of the great sound from that.
In addition, the Matt Gets Report was dropped out earlier today.
I gotta be honest with you. I looked at it,
I consumed a lot of it. And the fact is,
(01:16):
when are we going to get all the other reports?
And I'm just saying that if you want to be
a part of the conversation eight hundred and two A
two two eight eight to two, it is a pleasure
to be here for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on
the Clay and Buck Show. So let's go to last
night and this rally that was had, it was it
was turning point, and it was a marafest, and it
(01:38):
was all these great things that were happening all at
the exact same time. And when you think about this
journey that President Trump has has taken, and this is
a man who has been vilified, attempted to be murdered
twice really and and all of the crazy stuff that
(01:58):
has gone on when this guy could have been could
have been just another happy billionaire doing deals, having fun,
all that sort of stuff, and he has absolutely been
an incredible machine, and I mean an incredible machine in
so many ways. Let's take a listen to some of
(02:21):
this from last night. One of the ones that I
thought was really important, and we're going to sort of
maybe go in reverse order a little bit here, so
I'm gonna go to cut number eight. He understands what
the mission is, and he understands that the mission is
to protect America's border, specially in Arizona where he was
(02:42):
Cut number eight, And.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
We're going to change it because your border is a disaster.
Your border is a disaster.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
What's going on and you just.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Have a few days to wait. We're going to be
fully operational. I would say by about two o'clock on
the twentieth.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's amassed. See that's how you do it. You don't
just say, hey, we're gonna secure the border. Hey, we're
gonna get it done. He's laying out a number. He's
saying two o'clock, two o'clock on that first day, we're
gonna start working on this. It's gonna be visible, etc.
Why does that crowd chant or why does that crowd
cheer so loudly for that? Because everybody understands, even these
(03:24):
couple of months removed from the election night itself, everybody
understands what the major drivers are in this country. And
one of the things that I was blessed to do
was to live in New York City for a period
of time a couple of times, and I enjoyed my
(03:48):
time there. But I gotta tell you, with everything that
has happened in the last twenty four hours, I don't
understand how there's not a march on City Hall or
on Albany when you have an absolute demon, and he's
a demon going onto a an F train platform and
(04:09):
lighting a sleeping woman on fire, and she was murdered.
She was murdered in real time, And who is responsible
for that? Kathy Hockel. Kathy Hochel, I would throw a
little blame on the system of injustice there in the
state of New York and in the City of New
York as well. Where's Alvin Bragg? Is he making statements?
(04:32):
Is he saying anything? Is he doing anything? No, No,
he's not. He's all but silent on this particular story. Now,
you cannot expect society to fix itself when it slides
as far as it has gone. When you think about
the direction that this country has gone, and what has
(04:54):
been done to this country, and by extension, what has
been done to the American taxpayers, to the American citizens,
to the legal migrants who have come in. When you
think about all of the damage that has occurred in
this city only as a as a as an example.
(05:18):
But you have it in Chicago, you have it in Denver,
you have it in Aurora, you have it in California,
you have it in parts of Texas. You have this
happening and a president who's non copas mentis, who does
not apparently care about safety and security but for the
people he pardoned in the overnight, which we'll talk about
(05:40):
as well. But you see Donald Trump come out and
he is loaded for bear. He is loaded for bear.
And here's what is so interesting about the way he
came out last night. When he's talking about these different
things that are happening, he uses a very smart term.
Cut number fourteen, Mike. He talks about what this movement
(06:05):
is as it relates to the people who put him
back in office. Cut fourteen.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Scribe today or just a small preview. The actions I
have described today are just a small preview of the
common sense revolution, because that's what I call it, a
common sense revolution that's coming soon to America.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
To a theater.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Dat you right, But.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's coming to you through your President, Donald J.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Trump.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
The people have given us their trust, and in.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Return, we're going to give them the best.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Day one, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary
first one hundred days of any president in American history.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The genius of what Donald Trump is saying and what
he's selling there. He's already got these people supporting him,
but what he is saying to them in the way
he does this is to say, I made promises to you.
I'm going to fulfill those promises, even the ones that
are going to be maybe a little bit messy or
(07:14):
a little bit difficult. But this is a common sense revolution.
Hearkening back right to the language of Ronald Reagan when
he came in in nineteen eighty one, after the disaster
that was Jimmy Carter, after the disaster of all of
these places that he's gone and seen and been a
(07:35):
part of. This is a man who understands because of
where he comes from. And Donald Trump President elect, Donald Trump,
former President Donald Trump. He remembers the bad old days
in New York City. He remembers the Dinkin days or
the Stinkins days. He remembers what happened in the nineteen
(07:56):
seventies Mayor Lindsay and all of these failing that took place,
And he saw what happened when you elected Rudy Giuliani
to become the mayor of the City of New York
and became America's mayor in large measure. But when you
see what he did, when you see what he did,
the transformation that happened, well, that lifted all the boats
(08:19):
America saw in New York City in that period of time,
after the degradation in the late nineteen eighties and into
the very early nineties, America saw this phoenix rise from
the ashes. And President Trump understands marketing. There's no doubt
(08:44):
about that. President Trump understands what Americans want and what
they need. And it's very basic. I said this in
twenty sixteen. The candidate Donald Trump was emulating was not
necessarily a huge expansive sort of campaign that he put together.
(09:10):
He was running like America's mayor. Safe streets, secure border,
the ability to have a business and not have to
worry that some crackhead is going to kill you or
one of your customers, all of that stuff. It's super
basic and super easy. When you compare what Trump has
(09:31):
done and you compare what Biden did, you have mirror opposites.
One of them is pro growth, pro life pro opportunity.
The other was an America in decline and only only
catering to those who were the biggest perpetrators in declining
(09:56):
what America was and what America is. So when President
Trump comes out and gives that speech last night and says,
this is a common sense revolution, everybody understands what common
sense is because everybody knows that there are people in
their lives who make horrible decisions time and time and
time again, and people just watch these people slide. This
(10:19):
has got to stop. I would argue, this wasn't just
a change election that we went through. This is an
opportunity in one term, with no limits, to change back
time in this country where you can be safe on
the streets, where you can be free to start that business,
(10:44):
where life is important and the quality of life is important.
Final thought on this very quickly, you saw how many
gen Z people have come out and supported Donald Trump.
You saw a lot of people coming out who felt
(11:04):
like they had been left behind. But what is so
important about what we saw take place in this election.
It's not difficult at all. We understand what's at stake.
And those gen Zers were fifth graders and sixth graders,
and seventh graders when they were growing up and they
(11:25):
saw a good economy, they saw what a vacation felt like.
They saw all of that, and they paid it back
because they had the experience of the first term, they
had the disaster of the Biden term, and they now
have the hope for the second Trump term. We'll take
(11:46):
your phone calls. Eight hundred two eight two two eight
eight to two. I'm Brett whitterble In for Clay and Buck.
You're listening to the Clay and Buck Show. Spend Christmas
Eve with I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Find them on the iHeart app or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
So I am Brett Wittable in for clam Buck today.
It's a pleasure to be with you here. And I
love this. This is one of my favorite songs of
all time. Mike, Just FYI keep that one in the
rotation because that is that is great music. And I
like unconventional music by and large. But you know what
else I like. I like watching people be held to
(12:28):
account to their hypocrisy. Here's here's what I want to
play for you. This is going to be cut number five.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Mike.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Apparently, apparently AOC is worried about the oligarchs here in
America taking root.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Go Oh, I don't think we're witnessing the start of
an oligarchy. I think we are fully here. You literally
have a completely unelected billionaire who has just taken over
and paused government funding to specifically take out provisions regarding
(13:11):
China and other areas that pertain to him. You have
billionaires who run news outlets like Jeff Bezos and the
Washington Post, billionaires that run the La Times, completely interjecting
into their editorial boards and manipulating what's being written in them.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh boy, I have to unpack this, and I'm going
to do it very very quickly. AOC is dead wrong.
She's one hundred percent incorrect. If you look at the
oligarchs in this country right now today, the oligarchs are
all assembled on the left. Well, because you've got a
couple of billionaires, and you've got somebody who's an inventor,
(13:58):
and you've got somebody else over here who's trying to
make the country functional and that sort of stuff. No, no, no,
no, no no no. The overweight is over on the left.
They are overweighted. If you want to use the oligarchs thing, Okay,
you can. You know, it's it's just one of those
(14:18):
phrases that seems to not resonate with the American people.
But what the American people do understand when they look
at these sort of accusations that come from AOC is
that the powerful are the universities, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the
drug cartels, international people who are trying to undermine the
(14:40):
United States of America, all that sort of stuff. See,
what she doesn't understand is using the word oligarch does
not make you sound smarter. It makes you sound like
you just live by the talking point. With all due
respect to the congresswoman from New York And by the way,
I was rooting for you to get the job in
(15:03):
the House Oversight Committee instead of Jerry Connolly because he's
like one hundred and seventy nine years old. Now, I
wanted to see new blood in that so I'm actually
I'm actually pushing. I was pushing for her to go
get that job because I wanted to see all the
great speeches she could give and none of the legislation
that she would ever submit. But the oligarchs are not
(15:24):
threats in the United States of America. In the way
she's trying to sell it to you. The oligarchs are
the people that control the levers of power. You want
to know an oligarch, how about somebody who is strong
enough and powerful enough and famous enough to get rid
of Joe Biden from the ticket, George Clooney, Barack Obama,
(15:44):
the Clintons, who else? Who else can we throw into
that pile? Those are the oli garks, if you want
to use that silly word. These are people who are
just just too smart for us. Well, coming up, I'm
going to let you hear some more from President Trump
last night. It is a real pleasure to be here
(16:08):
with you. My name is Brett Whittererble. I am the
host of the Brett Wittererble Show in Charlotte, North Carolina,
and I am happier than anything in the whole world
to be spending this time with the smartest audience in
all of radio. We're gonna get a break in be
back right after this and now back to Brent Winterble
(16:31):
filling in for Clay and Buck. It's pleasure to be
here with you, and an incredible time of the year.
Christmas Eve Special with Clay and Buck is going to
be airing tomorrow that contains original content from Clay's trip
to the Holy Land, a history deep dive with Buck
on holiday traditions, including the origin story of Saint Nick,
(16:52):
and some meaningful words from the Rush archives. So don't
miss it. That's tomorrow on the Clay and Buckshow let's
go out and talk to David First up here, David,
Welcome to the program in Jackson, Michigan.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Yes, listening on w k HM.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Sir, how about that way to go? Good to have you.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Love it, Brent. Every time I get a chance to
listen to you, either subbing or wherever, interesting man you are.
And I just want to mention about festivis.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yes, sir, you get your aluminum pole? I do, I
do have I do have my aluminum pole.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Yeah, I've got mine up.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Mi. Mine's in the mine's in the backyard. Mine's in
the backyard. Is laying on the ground because you know,
I only I only raise the I only raise that
pole one day a year. And that's it's not quite yet.
I'm going to do it at the end of the program.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
I'm glad you're reminded me. I must take mine down.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
That's right, you know what you know? Want to get
hit by the h o hey man. Okay, no, no, no, no, no,
what else you got?
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Happy festivals anyway?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
All right? You as well, you as well make sure
you air those grievances. Okay, that's that's the most important
part of it. You start fresh with a Christmas Day.
So there you go, David. I appreciate the call, Thank
you very much, and have a very merry Christmas and
a very happy and successful Festivus in which you raised
the poll. Casey is in Tennessee next formerly of California.
(18:39):
What's going on? Casey Nada?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
God, sir?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
And to your family, Oh, thank you very much, and
to you as well, my friend.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I now in Tennessee, sir.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You live in Tennessee, God's country, absolutely on the other
side of them from us. That's right.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
That's it. And I when I listen to the show,
I love it. Your listeners need to know that you
are head and shoulders above ninety nine percent of them.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Okay, well listen, I'm going to have to pop my
bubble over my head here because it's going to my
head's my head is going to explode in that regard.
Let me ask you a question though. Okay, you're in Tennessee.
This is a place that is now really, let's be
honest here one of the important states in the Union,
(19:30):
especially with people who have been moving in, but also
when it comes to defending freedom and liberty and all
that sort of stuff. How do you assess how things
are going to be going in twenty twenty five and
beyond from the perspective of being in Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Well, nothing will change. This isn't a fad here in Tennessee.
It's a way of life that's good. They're very respectful.
Their religion plays a big role in their lives. It's
open carry. It's and I don't mean liquor bottles. For
those in California, show up and carry and concealed.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
If you want.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
You know, a little things like you got to register
your vehicle. It was like forty nine dollars. It was
like seven hundred and forty nine in California. Stuff like that. Sure,
I save you about forty a year by moving here
from California.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Phenomenal years ago. Phenomenal. And let me just say something.
You don't have to worry about your catalytic converter getting
cut off your vehicle, which is a super benefit in
every possible regard. Thanks so much, Casey. Great to talk
to you. I appreciate it. Let's okay, he mentioned the
name San Diego. Let's go out there and check in
(20:42):
with Jim. Who's checking in with us? Jim, Welcome to
the show.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Hi, this is Jim from start of South Dakota, Brent.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh, South Dakota. My bad, my bad, Okay, I love,
I love starts to South Dakota.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Hey, there's a good choice. Listen. The reason I'm calling
in is, uh, the Matt Gates nomination, the failed nomination.
I've been pretty upset about the waste of of uh,
the President Trump's efforts, because Matt Gates is bringing a
(21:17):
fair amount of questionable behavior to the office. And I
think it was it was a bad choice. But the
other aspect of it is and whether he's guilty or not.
They threw the mud at him, yes, and he didn't
adequately just uh, what do you call it? Defend himself.
But the other aspect of it is that he President
(21:38):
Trump jeopardized that seed in Florida as I see it
with that nomination. I just I don't know why he
wasn't better informed on that move.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, you know, sometimes when you're negotiating, you will you
want people to believe that you know, you're going to
go down a particular road and then see how it
reacts and if it doesn't, if it doesn't play out
that and so be it. I I don't understand, you
know who made that ultimate decision. I'm going to assume
it's the president elect that that made that ultimate decision.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
But when when you look at what is to come,
you may end up with with somebody getting getting a
much stronger hand because of him getting blown out of
that spot, if you know what I'm saying, Like Pam
Bondy right, so she's she's going to be effective. I
think Cash Patel is going to end up clearing I'm
(22:31):
not I'm not super concerned about those those picks. But
you also have a Senate seat that is now going
to go to somebody. And the one thing I don't
think Gates would would would run for that for that job.
But I do think that whoever runs to be the
Senator coming out of the state of Florida, they're gonna
(22:53):
have to be squeaky clean because, uh, the people on
the left do not stop. They they will go right
up the chain.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
As far as they possibly can until they're dissuaded. Now,
one of the things that I thought was interesting, and
thank you very much for the call today, was a
real pleasure to speak with you. When you look at
the Gates Report, most of this stuff, and this is
not to defend or anything like that, but most of
the stuff seems to have stopped in twenty twenty. So
(23:26):
it is twenty twenty four. I don't know what was
going on in that intervening time, but as I was
reading that before the program began today, I said to myself, Okay,
what is this going to do? How is this going
to manifest? Is this going to be a big deal? Well,
Birchett the congressman. Congressman Virchette from Tennessee said, look, this
(23:49):
is a report, so anybody can make a report, anybody
can make an allegation, anybody can do those sorts of things.
And when we come back here in just a couple
of moments, I want to expand this conversation about this
this Gates Report, with an eye towards something else that
(24:10):
also needs to be investigated. So we're gonna grab a
break here real quick, We're gonna come back. I'm gonna
finish this up little story out coming up in the
next hour. Right out of the box. We're gonna be
visited by a great friend of mine. He is Michael Wattley,
RNC chair co chair with Laura Trump, and we're gonna
(24:33):
have a nice conversation about everything that went on in
the last couple of weeks and the look forward. So
don't go away. I'm Brent Wodable. It's a pleasure to
be here on the Clay and Buck Show.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Clay Travison, Buck Sexton, Mike drops that never sounded so good.
Find them on the Free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And I am Brett Wable in for Clay and Buck
on the Clayan Buck Show. It's great to be with
you today as we get right into the reason for
this season and the Christmas holiday that's coming up here.
It's you know, it's just such a great time to
be alive, especially to see all the stuff that's happening
(25:17):
and the greatness that this country is going to once
again get at. So when we were talking about the
Gates Report, and I said that, Congressman Burchett said, you know,
it's a report, it's twenty twenty is the cutoff of
these allegations. That's worth noting stuff, right, I mean, it's
important to see how that all plays out. But but
(25:40):
since nineteen ninety seven, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights
has paid out eighteen point two million dollars to settle
two one hundred and ninety one cases of workplace disputes
for Congress, the Capitol Police, the Ark of the Capitol,
(26:00):
and the Library of Congress. So eighteen point two million
because people were being harassed sexually probably, and who knows
how else they were being maltreated by people that you
would expect more from, right, the guardians of the democracy,
as they always say, the guardians of the democracy. Andrew
(26:25):
Andrew Juiceki, who unfortunately passed away back back in August,
young guy fifty five years old. He had an operation
that he was running called I don't mean an operation
like a medical I mean an organization called Open the
Books and you you could look them up and you
could look into these different things. He was adamant about saying, Okay,
(26:51):
let's not just pick and choose who were going to
target for a violation of ethics. Let's see where the
money is going. Remember the eighteen point two million dollars
Congressional slush fund originally kind of caught fire during the
me too movement. Since nineteen ninety seven, the Office of
(27:11):
Congressional Workplace Rights paid out eighteen point two million dollars
to settle twenty one cases of workplace disputes for Congress,
the Capitol Police, the Architect of the Capital, the Library
of Congress. As I mentioned, when the news first broke
of the settlement account, Congress was accused of having a
veritable me too slush fund to secretly pay off victims
(27:36):
of sexual harassment. Reports surfaced that then Representative John Conyers,
Democrat from Michigan, negotiated a secret settlement with a female
staffer who accused him of sexual misconduct, and the eighty
eight year old quickly resigned from the Congress. Turned out
(28:01):
turned out, Kanyer's congressional office budget paid out his sexual
misconduct settlement, meaning that that total wasn't even included in
the multimillion dollar slush fund reported total. Slowly, it emerged
(28:23):
that the fund appropriated by Congress annually included payouts for
workplace safety and pay disputes in addition to sexual harassment. Claims,
though many specifics were not reported go Figure until June
eighteenth of fiscal year twenty eighteen. Two senator's offices and
(28:46):
five House members' offices had claims filed against them. An
additional House member's office had a case filed against it
from June nineteenth through December twenty nineteen. Out of the
total twenty filed, so there were twenty filings, though thirty
(29:08):
two allegations of sex gender pregnancy discrimination were filed in
fiscal year twenty eighteen and twenty eight were still filed
in twenty nineteen. It's not known if those types of
discrimination or harassment cases were against congressional offices or other
(29:28):
offices under the fund, but they did. Note a twenty
nineteen report, sixteen employees were paid a total of six
hundred thousan three hundred and sixty three dollars in settlements.
While twenty claims were filed, just sixteen appear to have
been filed by a protected class sex gender pregnancy, three
(29:54):
under the National origin and four under disability, and six
under race or color. Twenty three years and eighteen million
dollars in payouts from the Workplace Rights Office seems taxpayers
might have a right to open those books and to
look at those books. That's what Andrew Juski was doing
(30:18):
back when he passed away. He wanted the books opened
so we knew where the money was being spent and
who was responsible for these violations. Because let's be honest here, folks,
it's twenty twenty four, twenty eighteen, six years ago, twenty nineteen,
five years ago, and these cases that are being alleged
(30:42):
with Matt Gates were in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty,
so obviously we're still in an eligible window of these
cases coming forward. But remember two hundred and ninety one cases.
Did you see a list? Did you see a list
of any kind? No, we got the Gates report. Where
(31:06):
are the other reports? What did Nancy Pelosi cover up?
What did what did anybody else cover up? I mean,
this is the reason why people have doubts about the
people who serve our country. And the fact of the
(31:28):
matter is, this is an abuse of power in a
significant way that should never have been but but is now.
And you know, maybe these people are still serving, Maybe
these people are still in the picture, Maybe these people
(31:49):
are still paying out, and maybe there are people who
are still being abused. Absolutely atrocious. When you see this
and when you understand what we're looking at, well, wouldn't
you want it known if you were to send up
(32:10):
a young person to work as a page in the
capital or to go in and be an intern in
the capitol. Washington, DC is dangerous enough. The city itself
is very violent. You wouldn't want your loved ones to
walk the streets late at night. But are they any
safer walking the halls of the Congress. We know one
thing for a fact. We know one thing for a fact,
