Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We're gonna have some fun, as we always do on the show, but a little bit of a unique fun for the next two weeks. I'm gonna be in our iHeart studios by and large here in Washington, d C. We're gonna be bringing in a lot of congressman, a lot of Senators. We are going to be with President Trump, Buck and I in the Oval Office. We're gonna head out to the Pentagon. We're gonna be at Secretary of State. We're gonna be all over the place in DC for the next couple of weeks. So you may have no idea who's gonna be on from one moment to the next, but it should be really cool. We're obviously on here in d C in Freedom one oh four point seven, but we have awesome studios here. If you've been to d C, just down from Ford's Theater, just down from the Arena, right in the center of Northwest Washington, d C. Just a couple of blocks away from the Capitol, just a couple of blocks away from the White House. In fact, this morning I went up to Capitol Hill because I have got my oldest son doing an internship, which is the primary reason why I said, hey, let's go to DC for a couple of weeks. So he is up on Capitol Hill learning how the government works, and Dad is in charge of him. Buck is stuck somewhere on a tarmac, as many of you are aware, at thunderstorm season, the worst time to be trying to travel anywhere. He will be back with me tomorrow here in our DC studios, and let me give you a little bit of roadmap of where we're headed before I dive into this chaos in Los Angeles and why I think it's so significant. Marcia Blackburn and Tommy Tuberville, two senators, are going to be with us in studio here in the third hour, so you can put that on the horizon. We will also be joined by Riley Gaines here at the bottom of the hour. She works at out Kick alongside of me. She is fabulous and out of nowhere. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles ripped her for being two outspoken on keeping men out of women's sports, and so Riley is going to respond here on the show to that, So that will be at the bottom of the hour. You guys can be prepared for that. But I wanted to say, first of all, hope you guys had fabulous weekends and we are going to have like you can tell as I just laid out a super pac show here on the Monday edition of the program. But many of you, alongside of certainly me, we're watching last night as unfortunately, we had what felt like an echo of the summer of twenty twenty emerging in Los Angeles. We had police cruisers on fire. We had rocks and other projectiles being hurled at police officers. We had five different Waymo vehicles. You may remember I came on talking about how much I loved riding in these autonomous vehicles waymos that have taken over much of the travel in San Francisco, in La Phoenix. I think a lot of you out there would be riding in them as well. They're spreading across the country very quickly. I had my oldest son with me in San Francisco. He was super excited to ride in one. I loved it. They were on fire in Los Angeles and the cars were being graffited. People were waving the flags of Mexico and other countries as they rioted against Ice. And here's what I think is going on. I think if you went back and maybe we'll talk about this with President Trump Thursday in the Oval Office, I think one of the things that Trump would say that he learned in his first term in office was when violent protests begin, you have to nip them in the bud immediately. You cannot allow them to grow and spread and then fester across the entire nation. And if you remember, in the summer of twenty twenty, Tim Walls was the governor of Minnesota responding to George Floyd. There is one hundred percent should be one hundred percent openness for protest in the United States. We should not ever allow violent protest. And if you violently protest, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, independent, whether you're a citizen or a non citizen, you should be arrested and prosecuted I think to the full extent of law. And we've been pretty consistent about that. Now. That doesn't mean that you, as we saw in January sixth, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and everybody else who was involved in the BLM protest when they were trying to basically knock the fences down at the White House, if you remember that well, when they were attacking police like crazy. You should have no charges brought based on the politics there, and every charge brought based on the politics of January sixth. But if you are going to charge everyone, regardless of political backgrounds to the utmost stability for violence, I'm in favor of it. I've been in favor of it my entire life, while also being one hundred percent a First Amendment guy. I'm banned from CNN as many if you remember, for saying the only two things that have never let me down are the First Amendment and boobs in a eight year old viral clip that continues to be one of the most popular clips. Every few months, it's circulating again, and every new generation is becoming aware of it in a positive way. By the way, they like it even more the younger kids do, and I think that's because younger men in particular are over the BS. So I think what Trump learned from the first administration is you have to stop these protests and not allow them to spiral and grow, particularly because this is not a real protest, it's astro turfed. They bring in professional protesters who want to riot, who want to frankly, take away from whatever honest, peaceful protest is trying to be made, and they turn many parts of American cities into violent cesspools. They burn down buildings, they attack cars, they attack police. And so this is what we started to see happen in Los Angeles last night. And before I start playing some of the clips from what happened last night, one bit of positivity. I have not heard it talked about very much, but murder rates in this country are collapsing all over the country because Trump has committed to giving police the ability to execute from a law and order perspective, and I'm not hearing a lot of people talk about it. And yes, murder rates do go up in the summer, Frankly, I think it's because kids are out of school, people have more time. But all over the country we are seeing twenty twenty five crime collapse. In fact, we could have potentially the lowest murder rate in the US ever recorded based on how much murder rates are collapsing in this country again. Trump took office, law order has been on the upswing, and we are seeing massive declines in murder rates all over the country. And it's not getting a lot of attention. But let me just hit you with this. Through May of twenty twenty five from last year, just from last year, murder rates in New York City down twenty seven percent. In murder rates in Chicago down twenty four percent. Murder rates in Saint Louis down thirty five percent, Denver sixty three percent decline, Baltimore thirty two percent decline, Cleveland thirty seven percent decline, New Orleans thirty one percent decline. It doesn't matter what the blue city is. A little bit of red state law and order being applied makes everybody safer. It's not getting a lot of attention, but this is an incredible success story. And so what Trump and his team saw is they said, we're not going to elas the chaos that happened in twenty twenty to take over the country again. And sadly, the people who ended up losing the most were the people who had to deal with the rates of violence overwhelmingly black and brown in this country. As the BLM protest led to a decline in law and order. So Trump says, hey, I'm going to bring in the National Guard. We're going to provide even more protection than we did in twenty twenty. We're not going to allow history to repeat itself. Now, this is LA's police chief, Jim McDonell. This is cut six last night, saying it's out of control what we are seeing, the violence. This is cut six.

The National Guard was federalized, so they're working for the US Army, not for the California State National Guard.

Do we need them?

Well, looking at it tonight, you know this thing has gotten out of control. What they're I think before I could answer that, I'd have to know more about what their capabilities are, what their role is intended to be to be able to make that determination.

Well, looking at it tonight, you know this thing has gotten out of control. What they're I think before I could answer that, I'd have to know more about what their capabilities are, what their role is intended to be to be able to make that determination.

Okay, when the police chief says it's out of control, that's a sign that probably he wants the National Guard in that he doesn't feel like he has enough resources. But I bet that this guy doesn't want to step on Gavin Newsom, governor of California, and Karen Bass, the mayor of LA, who are doing awful jobs. And here is Tom Homan saying, protest all you want, but if you touch law enforcement, it's a crime. Cut eight.

For those protests that cross the line. I've said many times you can protest, you get your first point of rights, but when you cross that line, you put hands on my soft shirt, or you destroy property, or I say that you're peed law enforcement, or you're normally heart reck consuming in halan, that's a crime, and that the trumpministration is not what tolerant you cross that line. We want to see prosecute through partner justice.

Okay. Police chief says violence out of control. He also says that you just heard Tom Holman saying We're not going to allow this to happen. Here is Tom Holman saying the violence is escalating, getting worse, more violent.

Cut seven to the people who are not happy with the fact that ICE is in the community doing what ICE does?

Cut seven to the people who are not happy with the fact that ICE is in the community doing what ICE does?

You know?

You know?

It's I respect ICE for being a fellow law enforcement agency. They have their mission, they have their what they have to do. We don't engage in that activity, but again we can't preclude them from doing that.

They have every right to do that.

This violence that I've seen is disgusting. It's escalated now since the beginning of this incident. What we saw the first night was bad. What we've seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent. Tonight, we had individuals out there shooting commercial grade fireworks at our officers.

That can kill you. Okay, Trump says, look, they spit, we hit this cut one. Listen, I have a little statement.

They say, they spin, we hit. I told them nobody's gonna spit on our police officers.

Nobody's gonna spit on our military.

Nobody's gonna spit on our military.

Okay. So that is the background. Now you watch the images yourself. There are cars burning, police cars burning. They are being attacked police officers. Listen to what you heard if you were on ABC News in La. This is Mark Brown. He wants you to know. Look, this is just a lot of people who want to have fun watching cars burn. It's not a riot. This is what this dude really said on ABC News.

Listen to cut four large group of people. It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there and the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.

Listen to cut four large group of people. It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there and the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.

Excuse me, a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. They're not pulling out skewers and making s'mores in the backyard with the family. That's having fun watching a fire burn. This is attacking people all over the city. Do you think those cops were like, man, they're just having fun watching the cars burn while molotov cocktails are raining down on them from the overpass, which is what I saw happening last night. Imagine you're watching ABC News. How does that dude have a job. They're just having a There's a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. Yeah, that's kind of yeah, that's kind of what a riot is. And also on CNN, Brian Stelter humpting himself, he wanted you to know, most of La is fine. Uh, this is cut three of it. Let me just say this too. By the way, when La was burning, it wasn't the entire city. Do you think people would have been happy if you come on and you say, hey, yeah, there's lots of people losing their homes, they're burning down. Most of the city's not getting hit. I live in Tornado Alley and a large extent in Nashville. Tornadoes come through, they wipe out people's homes. Do you think if I came on the day after a tornado and I was like, Hey, just so, y'all know, most of the city didn't get hit by the tornado, so we don't really need to consider it a major issue. Of course not. But this was Stelter on CNN saying, hey, it's really pretty isolated. The riots cut three.

Of course not. But this was Stelter on CNN saying, hey, it's really pretty isolated. The riots cut three.

On one level, protests are always about images, about spectacle. You might even say it's about theater, and we are seeing that play out in La and I think it's valuable to have that perspective as we see some of these pictures, especially as we zoom out, and we recognize that the unrest is isolated, is not overtaking the entire city of La La is home to millions of people. Most of them are having a normal day here on Sunday.

Most of them are having a normal day here on Sunday.

Oh yeah, the tornado. It just killed some people. Most people are still that hurricane. Boy, you know, it didn't hit most of Florida. It just hit part of Florida. I mean, this is crazy, but that is what they are trying to do to minimize Again, I think the big story here is Trump one point zero and everybody surrounding him saw what happened in the summer of riots that led to I believe thousands of additional murders because suddenly police couldn't do their job, and they are saying, we're not gonna let the nation's second largest city, Los Angeles, spiral out of control. By the way, a lot of you in La listening to us. Now we have a huge audience. You can weigh in and let us know what you're seeing and what you think of the response so far. And isn't it always interesting? Isn't always interesting how the rioters, the looters and the protesters they never do this when it's cold, Like they're never willing to be out in the streets when it's twenty five degrees. Now, I know LA's warm all the time, but it isn't it amazing that they wait till the weather's perfect. It has to be the summer. It has to be. When it's not, you're not gonna be out in the streets shivering. And and it's amazing they never really seem to hit the bookstores, and they never really seem to do it early in the morning. It's kind of interesting how it all happens late at night, isn't it? And how it's only like the best buy and the foot locker that gets hit Barnes and Noble. I was at Barnes Noble last night. Barnes and Noble never looted or rioted in the history of mankind. Nobody's like, hey, we can get a really great deal. In the Harry Potter books right now, they don't seem to be big readers the looters and the rioters, despite the fact that they say that they are trying to make a larger statement.

President Trump first has weighed in on LA and the riots as we opened the show talking about, we made a great decision sending in the National Guard to deal with the violent instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. The very incompetent governor quotation Mars Gavin Newsom and mayor quotation marks Karen Bass should be saying thank you, President Trump, you are so wonderful. We would be nothing without you, sir. Instead, they choose to lie to the people of California and America by saying we weren't needed and that these were just quote peaceful protests. Just one luck at the pictures and videos of the violence and destruction tells you all you have to know. We will always do what is needed to keep our citizen safe so we can together make America great again. A woman who was trying to simply make women's sports great again by doing something crazy and saying only women should be able to play in women's sports. My friend Riley Gaines joins us now and Riley we were texting quite a bit over the weekend, but full disclosure, I was out to dinner with my family. I had my mother in law, my brother in law, and you sent me the link and I thought, this can't be real. There's no way that Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles, out of nowhere just decided to rip you for simply saying, hey, there shouldn't be a male pitcher winning a Minnesota Softball Women's Championships title. And I still have a disbelief that this happened. What was your reaction when you first saw this when it popped up on your social media.

President Trump first has weighed in on LA and the riots as we opened the show talking about, we made a great decision sending in the National Guard to deal with the violent instigated riots in California. If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated. The very incompetent governor quotation Mars Gavin Newsom and mayor quotation marks Karen Bass should be saying thank you, President Trump, you are so wonderful. We would be nothing without you, sir. Instead, they choose to lie to the people of California and America by saying we weren't needed and that these were just quote peaceful protests. Just one luck at the pictures and videos of the violence and destruction tells you all you have to know. We will always do what is needed to keep our citizen safe so we can together make America great again. A woman who was trying to simply make women's sports great again by doing something crazy and saying only women should be able to play in women's sports. My friend Riley Gaines joins us now and Riley we were texting quite a bit over the weekend, but full disclosure, I was out to dinner with my family. I had my mother in law, my brother in law, and you sent me the link and I thought, this can't be real. There's no way that Olympic gymnasts Simone Biles, out of nowhere just decided to rip you for simply saying, hey, there shouldn't be a male pitcher winning a Minnesota Softball Women's Championships title. And I still have a disbelief that this happened. What was your reaction when you first saw this when it popped up on your social media.

Feeds, Well, Clay, you were the very first person I sent it to. I saw it pretty immediately, which is pretty rare. I have my notifications off on X right, like things don't typically pop up, but I think it bypasses if someone mentions you or retweets or quotes you and they have a certain number of followers. And so I got this notification that said Simone Biles has tagged you in a tweet, and I was honestly like starstruck in that moment. I was I couldn't believe it. This is a woman I publicly called on prior to this, maybe a year or two ago, to stand with women, not me personally, but just stand with the movement of protecting women and girls in sports. So I click on it, and Clay, I was It took me a minute. I had to go back and forth to the profile several times and make sure this was not a fake account. But no, lo and behold, this was the real Simone Biles following me, a bully for defending women and girls in sports. Even still, just like you said, I'm in total disbelief that in the year twenty twenty five, this is the stance that Simone Biles has chosen to take. I think the response would have been a lot different if this was in twenty twenty twenty one, maybe even twenty twenty two. But to say this now, I just can't, for the life of me, understand why she would do this.

So the attack was crazy on that, But then she also came after you over your body, which is like, first of all, all athletes have, particularly as you become Olympic champions. Sometimes bodies that are different, right like Michael Phelps does not look like a normal human. It's one reason why he's such an incredible swimmer Simone Biles is not a quote normal sized human. It's one reason why she can throw her body all over the place in a women's at gymnastics, And so she's actually done body positivity ads to try to make women and I think boys too, more comfortable with their bodies. And so the first thought when she attacked you that I had was Riley's like the most average and I don't mean this in a negative way, but you're actually the most average sized girl out there, right, So my first thought was, I mean, there's anything wrong with like a six foot four woman or whatever you're And then I love you made a video because my first thought was, like, Riley's not even abnormally sized, but she was trying to ridicule you, and she did it claiming that you are male size. So that is even maybe crazier than the first tweet she said.

So that is even maybe crazier than the first tweet she said.

It is by far crazier for a couple of reasons. Number one because when she said this right, like fully someone your own size, which would ironically be a man, The first thing I thought of was this is this is so hilarious because she's understanding and recognizing that men and women are physically bio logically categorically different, right, Like, like she just admitted that in this sea that I think was meant to be an insult. But then of course number two, yeah, to come from my body. First of all, I'm five foot five, I mean relatively standard. I think anyone would be a giant next to someone who's like four foot eight, right, I think Simone Biles is Yeah, I'm so standard sized. I'm like one hundred and thirty one hundred and thirty five pounds. So it took me a while to even make sense on this. I'm like, is she calling me tall? Is she saying I'm muscular? Is she saying I'm like, I didn't even equate in my brain for a little bit. But I will tell you the response that she has received from this. I mean it's it's been the number one trending thing on Twitter prior to the La riots, of course, which is just terrific and an utter shame that this is happening in our country. It was a number one trending thing on Twitter for for I mean two days straight, even on TikTok. Every TikTok video that pops up on my for you page? Is someone coming for Simone Biles for coming for me and for my body. Again, a woman who has has historically made a platform a larger platform for herself outside of her athletic success, for I mean, praising women and their muscular bodies and the purpose that they can serve. But nonetheless she has shown her true colors here. I believe.

Well, I love that you posted a video with your husband Louis, who is also awesome and was a swimmer at the University of Kentucky where he actually measured you and your slock feet. I'm presuming that was in the front room of your home, which is really really funny, but it also, just to me epitomizes the crazy hypocrisy of her. To your point, yes, acknowledging bully someone on your own size. Hey, there is a difference between men and women, because that's oftentimes said, and so she's acknowledging that even while she's trying to do it. So what is the motivation here? I'm sure in some measure you set back and you're like, yes, she has been thankful obliterated by people from across the the athletic spectrum for what she did. Why did she do it? Where did this come from?

Where did this come from?

This is what I've been trying to figure out. I've seen a couple of different series, and I've actually had several Team USA gymnasts, both men and women, actually tons of Olympians across the board, all kinds of different sports. So every shout I will disclose any names, but several have told me privately that this was an attempt to put her name back in the spotlight prior to a Netflix docu series that is to come out called Simon. I think it's called Simone Rising or something of that nature, which what a what a hilarious thing. Simone Bile's allegedly feeling like she means to get back into the spotlight, and she does it by criticizing me insane, So that number one could potentially be a possibility. Some people are saying they don't think this was really her, as a management company or someone who runs her her social media who posted this. Some people are saying she's been paid to post this. That now posted receipts of her linked with a certain like activist based organization that's in the forty fifty million dollars and she's been tied to them. So I have no idea. I cannot again I just can't and with a sound mind, think she did this because she actually believes it being an elite gymnast. I mean, you look at men's and women's gymnastics. They're not even the same sport essentially, Like you have palm of horse and rings on the men's you don't have that with the women. You don't have beam. Men don't compete on beam, right, Like they're totally different sports essentially. I cannot believe that she actually thinks this, So I guess the motive. The motive is still in the up in the air.

Yeah. And by the way, let me say this because my wife was a very good gymnast, and I think she came in fifth in the state Michigan as a senior. That's pretty good. And she has argued for years if men did the women's contests, men would be way better at them than the women are. And to your point, Riley, most women can't even do a lot of the things that the men do right, like the rings, for instance, Most women wouldn't have the upper body strength to be able to do the things that men do. There. That's not an attack on women's gymnastics. It's just that for people who don't do those things men would be able to do, for instance, the floor routine or the vault or all these things, the ring the uneven bars better than women do them because they're bigger, stronger, and faster. That would translate even to gymnastics. I didn't know that. Again, this is my wife analyzing it. Who does this stuff at a high level or used to anyway, So she's gotten attacked. I also think this is important. She waited until her career was over, and you have talked about this. Meghan Rappino did the same thing, the US women's soccer player. You have seen women retire and then say, oh, I'm fine with men going into women's sports. It's like they're yanking the ladder up. I give credit. It's amazing. Jk Rowling. Have you ever met jk Rowling? By the way, the Harry Potter author, I have.

Never met jk Rowling. Of course she lives overseas, but we've been able to communicate back and forth on X maybe some other platforms. She's incredible the way that she had everything to lose. Yes, most people think she has nothing to lose because she's already made her career. She had everything to lose, yet it didn't matter to her. It still doesn't matter to her, even she came out with a pretty fiery tweet, Yes I directed towards some own Biles. So she's to me a modern day civil rights heroin.

I love her, And to your point, I read the Harry Potter books back in the day. She's a billionaire. She had no reason to need to an athlete to speak out against the transagenda. She just saw it as fundamentally a lie and wasn't willing to continue to tell a lie. And so when you see Simone Biles, Megan Rapino, your athletic career is now over and you are fighting for your sister or other girls who might come after you, for instance, to be able to compete only against women. Isn't it uniquely awful and indefensible for highly successful female athletes, who made tens of millions of dollars off of their athletic talents, to suddenly come out in favor of men and women's sports when they never are going to have to compete against them themselves.

It's the definition of pulling up the ladder behind you. That's exactly what Meghan Repino has done. That's exactly what Simone Biles has now done. It's why. Look, like I said, I publicly called on It was like this little campaign thing I did maybe a year a year and a half two years ago at this point, where I publicly called on current elite male athletes in various different sports, Caitlin Clark being one of them too, to stand with women and just simply say that men should not be in women's sports. I called them Serena Williams and if you can remember she said on David Letterman in twenty thirteen, I mean basically she already said it, but that was before I guess it was bigoted or transphobic to say it.

But not a.

But not a.

Single woman, not at least the ones that I've called on, have chosen to respond in any manner. I mean, it's been total silence. Crickets tried the same thing with men on the other hand, but a totally different response. I have male athletes, people like Bronk right, who come out and say, yeah, men shouldn't be one in sports. Easy to say that, right, Not really in my fight we had several who said, you know, this is kind of up to the women's handle, but yeah, this is crazy I think it speaks to, of course, the physical differences that are very obvious that people can see and observe between men and women. But even just this little campaign proved that men and women are inherently different in our characteristics and how we approach things, and how women are more emotionally driven and apologetic and empathetic and men are typically more assertive, and that was made very clear in this campaign we did. But yeah, Megan Raupino also important to mention she's not interested in men. Therefore it is unlikely. I know, she can still adopt or whatever options are out there for her and her wife, Sue Bird, But Megan Repino's not gonna have kids, so for her, she has nothing on the line right Like she's done with her career. She's not gonna have a daughter of her own. She doesn't care. It's totally an attempt to virtue signal be seen as this inclusive figure for all, but in reality, what you're doing is being exclusive to women.

You have been so outspoken like Riley Gains. How much do you let me mention this because I think people might have missed it, But you had a man when two different women's track titles in California had a man win in Washington. The impetus for Simone Bile's reaction here was a man was the star pitcher on a Minnesota softball state champion team. And I think the initial comment that she was responding to was you sharing the fact that in Minnesota they had turned the comments off on the team photo which showed the boy way taller than everybody else on the team. How much do you think the conversation has changed as oh, this never happens when you got California, Washington, and Minnesota all in the space of basically a week with state championships being won by men pretending to be women.

Yeah, well, important to mention just last week, as you said, this happened in five states Minnesota, California, Washington, Oregon, and Maine where boys soul state qualifying spots, state championships or podium spots from I mean deserving, hard working girls. So five blue states that that you, I mean, the whole it doesn't really happen argument. It can't stand at all when it continues to happen. But that's the classic progression of these issues is, well it doesn't happen, so we don't have to worry about it. You know, you're you're looking for a solution in search of a problem. That that's step one, right, I think that was. That was when I was competing, That was twenty twenty two. It never really happens. Then it slowly shifts to you, Okay, well it is happening, but it's not happening a lot, therefore we shouldn't be concerned about this. Then it progresses too, Okay, well it's happening, and here's why. It's a good thing that it's happening. And then I think the final stage of it is it's happening, it's a good thing, and you're going to accept it or else. Again. That's that's the classic progression, not just with this issue, but a lot of these fringe cultural issues. That's why now you're seeing what's happening in La happened.

It's it's the.

It's it's the.

Same progression, but now the whole it's not really happening thing. It just doesn't stand. And to acknowledge how the blick has has shifted to this again, look at someone biles comments section, go on Instagram, go on Twitter, go on on any article that's being posted, go on TikTok, and she is getting absolutely demolished, to the point where I almost feel bad for her, Like I really do have reading these comments and like, oh my gosh, Like I was prepared when I got that notification Clay on my phone for that onslought of hatred to come towards me, Like I was like, oh gosh, like she's going to send all of her little little you know, minion people who follow her over to my page. That is not at all what has happened. I haven't read a single negative comment about myself following this interaction, But you compare that to twenty twenty two totally different response from the public.

You're up in Washington, d C. For the next couple of weeks. Buck is going to join me tomorrow. He's in the process of trying to get up here. He's not gone smoothly. I'm sitting in studio right now with Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee, and I'm up here because my son is going to be doing an internship, and this is an intern season for so many different offices out there. Do you remember the first time you came to d C. I know you end up here for a while. What do you remember about that? What?

What do you think young Marsha Blackburn on that four h trip would have thought if you had told her, hey, one day you're going to be a congresswoman and a senator yourself. Do you think you would have believed it? Were you interested in politics at that age?

I was very involved. Yes, I thought that good citizenship was important and we even as I was cleaning out some things one day I found a flyer I had done and distributed to all my neighbors as part of a citizenship project, reminding them to go vote and the importance of going to vote. But never would I have thought I would have been an elective office. But you know, that's just one of those things I tell young people all the time. Be ready to walk through open doors and realize you don't chart your path, God charts your path. And to be mindful and to accept those open doors.

These men and women that are there trying to get these criminal illegal aliens. Why in the world would you have a mayor and a governor that are siding and trying to protect criminal illegal aliens and to obstruct ice and keep them from doing their job. And you know, I Clay, you talk to so many people when you're on the air every day. I'm not hearing from people that want to keep criminal illegal aliens. Look at what is happening in Nashville. And this is not a partisan issue. This is a ninety percent issue. And people will say, if they are criminals, they need to be removed. Let's remove these individuals. And people realize that coming across that border illegally is a crime. And of course we isis out there doing their job. We are a nation that is built on the rule of law, and it is imperative that these officials implement and bide by the law. If they don't like the law, they can try to change the law, but it is there are set procedures for entering the country legally. There are statutes that determine what is and is not a crime, and whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor. And to have people that want to pick and choose and say we're going to enforce this, but we're not going to enforce that, and a sanctuary for this but not for that.

It's not just La either, because I hear from some people and I know we've got a lot of people listening in California, but they say, oh, that's just a blue city there. What do I care. We live in a red state. You and me one of my senators, and I'm glad that you are, and maybe more here in a little bit. But when you see what's happening in Nashville, because I think a lot of people out there say, okay, state Tennessee very red. There's a mayor, Freddie O'Connell in a city of Nashville who has basically said, hey, we're going to try to stop ice from doing their work. This has become a big talking point many cities all over the place. First, you have got a bill called the Remove Act that would take from ninety days down to fifteen days to help expedite the removal of people who shouldn't be in this country. So that is something you're doing directly to try to help the president. But when you see a city like Nashville, when you see someone making the choices that the mayor there is making, that Karen bass is making in Los Angeles, to directly defy the president's authority, can you believe it?

And this is why removing these criminal, illegal aliens is a ninety percent issue and people want them to be taken out of the country. And the other thing is the doxing. This is something that happened in Nashville and you had the mayor and his office that actually exposed the names of HSI investigators and also of our ice agents and their operations. Now you cannot do that and exposing that. We found out that it is not illegal to reveal the name of a law enforcement officer. It is illegal when they're undercover and you reveal their information. So my preventing law enforcement doxing that legislation we've also filed to include law enforcements who are implementing the law in that so that we can protect our law enforcement officers at the local, state.

Why are they absolutely making this their issue number one when this is something that people overwhelmingly support. Get them removed from the country. Protect law enforcement, don't dox them, don't go put their pictures up, don't go put their home address, don't endanger their families. People want to show respect for law enforcement.

Department of Justice investigating what Nashville has happened. You've asked for that, Yes, Pam Bondi's the attorney general. What do you expect that investigation to be, like, how should it be?

I have requested that they formalize an investigation, and I would expect that at some point we will hear from that. You do have the Homeland Security Committee in the House, which is chaired by Representative Green out of Tennessee. Yes, and also the Judiciary Committee in the house. They have started an investigation and looking at what happened with obstructing these raids.
