Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition off the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off right now thanks to the guy who high five to me on the way out of the gym today. Clay says he listens every day, loves the show. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I was like, I gotta go do the show. So it was a close one had to run home, but I got here and we have a lot to get into today. President Trump announcing eighty thousand documents on the assassination of JFT will be released, and he has asked that the files not be redacted. I can't imagine how there would be any justification to continue a redaction at this point, but we shall see what is released. Eighty remember eighty thousand pages. So anybody who within minutes of this thing of the document drop says I know who killed JFK. Just grain of salt, like, let's see what's actually in this thing. I know. I'm not going to take out my wampwomp button quite yet on it. We'll see, but I am in wait and see mode for sure. President Trump has announced that Hunter and Ashley Biden will no longer have Secret Service protection. They had Clay eighteen and thirteen agents. Assignments are crazy, respectively. Hunter Biden had eighteen Secret Service agents. Eighteen Secret Service agents. Like this is outrageous, outrageous. I mean this, you know, if you're the president. The way they usually do this is they start to fade it out. I mean presidents, I guess former presidents. I think once you get past two terms, you really don't need a Secret Service detail anymore. I'm a little bit of a maybe a radical on this whole thing. I think people just need to like get a grip. It's okay. You know, no one cares that you were president three presidents ago that much. You know, like don't don't go to Moscow on vacation and you'll be fine. So anyway I find this, I think we've gotten way too much of a praetorian rialse. It was eighteen That is crazy. I mean that that is this guy was traveling with a platoon of Secret Service agents in case what I mean, think about and think about what they probably saw too. Don't even get me started.

Also, to your point, it's not I mean he lived in Malibu. I mean, do we think that he was in perpetual danger from all of the super libs in Malibu, like that they were going to.

Also, to your point, it's not I mean he lived in Malibu. I mean, do we think that he was in perpetual danger from all of the super libs in Malibu, like that they were going to.

Do something to him. No, this is this is just so that you can have a you can have a taxpayer funded chauffeur and and security. And you know, I want to know what all these guys are doing all the time. It's the whole thing is completely outrageous. And and this this thing, you know, we allow presidents to determine really what the presidents get, and these guys have way too much. It's it's it's crazy. The former presidents, some of them have just I think, like Nixon said, I don't even really I want to get my own you know.

I wouldn't want I mean, I doesn't feel to me like it would be very much fun to have have security with you. I mean, we've had to have security for some events. Obviously, when somebody wanted to kill me, we had security. So we have security off and on. I'm not knocking the idea, but it isn't A eighteen agents is for someone who has ever had security is a absolutely insane number. And I remember, if I recall, maybe we'll talk to Miranda Devine about this tomorrow, because she really kind of broke this story on the New York Post. But Buck, it also was the case that I believe that Secret Service was renting a high end mansion next door to him to use as the base to be able to protect Hunter when he was living in the Sugar Daddy's house in Malibu.

Yeah, the whole thing is outrageous. Man, This is completely unjustifiable, and I think that it's the right move. Look, presidents, you know, they need to be protected, especially this president, need to be protected with whatever is required. But you know, if you were just the most recent president, Okay, but your family, Ashley Biden, give me, give me a break, all right. You know you got to live with a certain degree of just life is uncertain. I'm sorry, Like, you can't go around twenty Secret Service agents the rest of my life, please, all right. So anyway, that's something we can talk a little more about. Cease fire between Israel and hamas is over Israeli jets have been striking Gaza, and the Israelis are just saying they're not waiting for they're not waiting for hostages anymore. Enough is enough that judge who ordered the planes to turn around with the trend. De Aragua members on it is really digging in and getting crazier and crazier, which which we will make some sense of today. And yes, oh and then we have what's going on right now? Why don't we jump into this one because I think it ties into everything. Trump has been on the phone this morning with Vladimir Putin, and remember Klay last week, the conversation was, Oh, it's too early, and there's so so many conditions, and really downplaying that Trump was even likely or is even possible he could get any kind of a breakthrough if this results, If this call results in a ceasefire, and we should know pretty imminently. I think if at least a ceasefire has been preliminarily agreed to, does the media cover it as a breakthrough or do they cover it as well? We won't really know.

Yeah, Look, the ceasefire in general is now ended in the Middle East, right, so ceasefires are not perpetual, never ending ceasefire realities. But I do feel like if they start the ceasefire in Ukraine with Russia, tell me if you agree with this, at least during Trump's remaining term in office, Vladimir Putin will not invade Ukraine anymore. Do you feel good about that, like if you had to predict based on what we saw in the first turn when he didn't invade, and whatever you feel about this, I do believe that Trump and Putin have a somewhat decent relationship that actually is brought together by the total why that Russia won Trump the twenty sixteen election. Trump knows that's not true, Putin knows that's not true. We and by the way, the United States, I'm curious if you would agree with this, Buck probably spends more money trying to influence foreign elections than any country in the world. So the idea that we're gonna be like grabbing our pearls and falling on to a fainting couch that other countries would in some way seek favor in our own elections when we are, I believe, probably the biggest manipulator of international elections of any country in the world. But they didn't have any massive impact. The whole Russia collusion story was a lie. The money that Russia spent on Facebook ads was a pinprick of what was spent, like one hundred and k of billions of dollars that were spent.

Hardly anyone saw them. They were poorly designed.

Hardly anyone saw them. They were poorly designed.

My point on this is, I think the Trump Putin relationship is actually closer because of the lies that they both went through there. I don't feel like if we get a ceasefire, Putin will violate it.

Am I crazy in your mind?

As a former CIA analyst put your CIA analyst hat on here, how would you assess the likelihood?

I think you have to add to that that these are two men who recognizing each other historic figures and alpha dogs, so to speak. I think that that's that shouldn't be underestimated. That there is some degree of respect between these two. I don't know if it would be affection, but it's respect, you know. I'm not sure they like each other, but they definitely look at each other as two guys who, like I said, they're historic, they are men of the moment. And yes, I think that if there is a ceasefire that is agreed to. I think that Putin knows that making Trump look silly is a dangerous thing to do, meaning that there would be real consequences for Russia that he does not want. And I think that he that Putin recognizes that is true. Now that was not true in the same way obviously under Biden when he invaded on Biden's watch and did all this stuff. So we are in a better situation. I think that you know, they'll be there'll be some negotiating that happens here. This is not going to be everyone comes out of this phone call today high fiving and the war is over, and you know Russian, Russian and Ukrainian soldiers are going to be kissing ladies out in the street in jubilation. That's not going to happen, unfortunately. But I think that you might get to, you know, a couple of points have to be agreed to, and then there'll be a ceasefire for thirty days and then we'll see and the ceasefire is going to be a rolling process. Look, the same thing has been true with the Israeli ceasefire which just ended. The Israeli said, okay, we'll do a ceasefire and we have these conditions and this is what we expect, and Hamas, because it's a psychopathic terrorist organization, violates the conditions, won't give back the hostages, so then fighting resumes. You may see something similar with Russia and Ukraine. But to your point, overall I think is true, which is you're not going to have Trump say I think we've got a ceasefire for thirty days, and then ten days into it, Vladimir Putin is pulling some nonsense, you know, firing missiles into Kiev and acting like he can get away with whatever he wants, because there will be consequences when Trump is the commander in chief, financial, maybe diplomatic, maybe maybe other stuff. But Trump's not going to allow that to go unpunished. Yeah, you're I think you're right.

And look, I am just genuinely curious how the media will cover it. I saw I was reading over the weekend.

Buck.

Buck.

I don't know if you saw it. They do this grid Iron dinner where everybody in the media comes and they and they make their usual jokes. And your boy, Governor Wes Moore of Maryland got up and made all these jokes about Russia and Trump and how Trump is putin stooge, and everybody was just rolling over laughing. And it feels to me such an antiquated joke to be making. But I would almost guarantee for you that whatever the peace agreement or ceasefire is reached between Ukraine and Russia, that it will somehow be used as evidence that Trump is the Manchurian candidate for Vladimir Putin. And I say that because they don't seem to be able to come up with any other new lines of attack. Is that kind of interesting? Like Trump is in awe right now? And leave aside the fact that the Democrat Party has lit itself on fire. Lowest approval ratings going all the way back for NBC and CNN as long as they've been doing those polls right literally have never been lower. But the thing that maybe surprises me the most is they buck They can't even come up.

With any new lines of attack.

With any new lines of attack.

They tried the oh it's president elon and everybody was like, yeah, that's not really working right because you told us he's a dictator. So is he a dictator or is he actually just the stooge of someone else? Like they're actually mixing messages. They can't even figure out what their.

Attack angle is on Trump right now. It is deep in the recesses of the Democrat mind right now. But I really do believe that there is a widespread quiet panic that they will never address and they will never accept, But it's in the back of their minds. And it's saying, maybe you were just wrong about this top to bottom. Maybe you were just wrong about this guy in every respect, and he's actually going to be great for the country, and you did everything possible to ruin and destroy him, and he just kept on coming and it's going to benefit not just his voters but America. These you know people we saw this with COVID. People would rather look like morons than accept that they were really wrong on something they were very dug in on. And you're even seeing some of these people, I think you're right, Buck, Privately, they're having light bulbs go off and they're thinking, what if I was actually on the wrong side of history, right, because remember how long they hit us with that all through you're enabling, you're platforming, you're on the wrong side of history. I don't hear wrong side of history arguments really anymore. Let's we can just take stock of this for a minute, they said, And it was a widespread narrative across the entire Democrat Party from the top down from Kamala to who is the guy who was their vice president, Tim Walls, all these people they said he was a fascist and that he was Hitler like that he was America's Hitler. Here we are it's not even two months in. He's bringing an asterisk. He's let an astronauts come back from outer space while Biden left them up there stranded for political reasons. He secured the border, which every country should be allowed to do. When every Democrat said they wanted to do, they were lying. He's trying to get rid of government waste, fraud and abuse. He's trying to end a horrific meat grinder of a war that has got hundreds of thousands of casualties and no end in sight. Does any of this sound like Hitler stuff? Like where's the scary fascist stuff? Yeah, he's got the richest man in the world working for free to try to stop waste and fraud. So the price of eggs will come down. And wow, guess what the price of eggs is already coming down? Clay, Remember when two weeks ago it was hasn't he brought the price of eggs down?

I'm literally looking right now from our friend Libs of TikTok Buck. Price of eggs since he entered office has collapsed by fifty percent. I mean their attack angles. According to her January twenty first, twenty twenty five. And I will let me be clear, because I always get egg emails. People are like, it costs this at my store of like, okay, I'm not an expert at what.

You paid for eggs this morning?

You paid for eggs this morning?

All right, But according to Hya at Libs of TikTok, six dollars fifty five cents was the average cost of a dozen eggs when Trump entered office on January twenty first, they now cost three dollars in twenty two cents. That's half right, just and I apologize if you paid four to sixty this morning. I don't need you to email me about what the Safeway cost in your hometown. I'm just telling you nationwide, that's the average.

Now you know what they're gonna have to explain to us on Morning Joe, though, You know who is really opposed to eggs costing too much? Hitler? Just like Hitler bringing the price of eggs down. Hitler. I always love you. Know when we were at mar Lago with Trump and he insisted that we get milkshakes because Marlon will make the best milk. Classic, classic, classic Hitler move, just total Hitler move. You know we're getting everyone milkshakes high fives for everybody, just like Hitler would have done.

All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. Occasionally you see a butt kicking on cable news that involves so much knowledge, It is so erudite, so exceptional, that you feel like everybody was done a favor by this. The anchor who gets completely crushed by the guests, who knows a lot more, the audience, including audience that does not like the conservative guests because at least they're learning something, and all of us get to just cheer and clap and laugh about how the whole thing went down. Stephen Miller, we should put this up on clayanbuck dot com. In a nine minute long segment that was essentially about whether this judge who decided that he would tell planes in the air that they had to turn around, think about the authority, Think about the power that this judge thinks that he has. The plans have already left. I am ordering those planes to turn around and come back to the United States. One. There are one hundred of federal district district judges across the country, hundreds of them. One of them can just be like, I disagree with this move by the president. He has to bring the planes home. Oh okay. Stephen Miller had an exchange with one of the is a Casey Hunt Is that right? I think I don't even know who's on Casey point. Yeah, Tomato, Tomato right, So I'm not sure. But he had an exchange with a CNN anchor. We wanted to hear some parts of this. We broke it up for you. It's nine minutes long. The whole thing's up at Clay and Buck. But Stephen Miller was taking no prisoners on this one. One of his best. He's had many good moments on TV, but one of his very best. The school bus was parked out front and school is in session. Play play clip one. This judge violated the law.

He has to bring the planes home. Oh okay. Stephen Miller had an exchange with one of the is a Casey Hunt Is that right? I think I don't even know who's on Casey point. Yeah, Tomato, Tomato right, So I'm not sure. But he had an exchange with a CNN anchor. We wanted to hear some parts of this. We broke it up for you. It's nine minutes long. The whole thing's up at Clay and Buck. But Stephen Miller was taking no prisoners on this one. One of his best. He's had many good moments on TV, but one of his very best. The school bus was parked out front and school is in session. Play play clip one. This judge violated the law.

He violated the we have in this country. Because that does seem to same these same district court judges didn't do a damn fit stop Joe Biden from flooding this.

You're here to speak. I will answer that one simple question.

You're here to speak. I will answer that one simple question.

Ready, here we go. Under a proper reading of the constitution, district court judges provide relief to individual plaintiffs seeking relief. District court judges do not have the authority as a general matter to enjoin the functioning of the executive branch, but their authority is at its lowest point when the president is exercising his powers as commander in chief. And I asked you a question you never answered it. Can a judge enjoined troop movements overseas? Can a district court judge and join treat movements overseas? Yes, sir, I am not going to get into the Just say no, and then you'll know that I'm.

I get into an argument with my wife I don't know if Steven uses that one with his lovely wife Katie. Just say no so that you'll know that I'm right is probably not a marital argument tactic that works well. But it's phenomenal television, Buck. I mean, that was just a whipping.

Here's here's what is at the core of the and again it's it's nine minutes, which were not We can't play the whole thing on air, but you can go to Clayanbuck dot com. We'll have it up there for if you want to see it in one place. It's worth watching if you can. It's nine minutes and and what's at there's a lot of things that are an issue, but really at the core if the whole thing, Clay is these judges. First of all, we talk about the number because you can tell this is how partisan leftists, some of whom are judges, have decided that they're going to oppose Trump. They're just going to stop him from doing things that as president he has the right in the authority to do. They're just going to say no, you can't do that, and they'll eventually get overturned by the Supreme Court and they know that, but they're just going to keep trying to stop him. If if, if a judge is allowed to tell the president when he has used executive authority to expel non citizens from the United States, you have to turn the plane around. Can a judge say you can't bomb the Hohufi's in Yemen? You have to turn those missiles around, or you have to turn those planes around? Like where does it stop and start?

I think that's why Stephen Miller's argument is so persuade persuasive. Also, I'm gonna circle back to that in a sec Buck, But this is I think emblematic of why Trump two point zero is so much more successful than Trump one point zero was Trump got his fighters, and he put his team together and they are a dream team of advisors of an incredibly high intellect. How many IQ points do you think the difference between Stephen Miller and that CNN anchor was Buck twenty?

I mean, this is there's a miss there's a mismatch here. There is a mismatch to be.

I mean, this is there's a miss there's a mismatch here. There is a mismatch to be.

Sure, and there is a high level of intellect sctual heft that did not exist on the same level for Trump one point zero. And I think when you hear the Trump team make their arguments, and you see how well they can slap down the counter arguments. It is incredible how much difference there is, and not only intelligence, but also comprehension of the issues. Now, let me circle back, because I think this is an important part of the larger story here. What Stephen Miller is pointing out is that federal district court judges do not have the authority to micro manage the power of the executive branch. Trump clearly, and even the CNN anchor didn't argue, Trump clearly has the ability to, as you pointed out, order strikes against the huties, or to decide that he wants to in some way move around brigades inside of Europe or in the United States. There isn't an ability of a federal district court to challenge it. And Democrats are so desperate to restrain Trump that what you really have and this is why the Supreme Court needs to look at this is a distinction between the Supreme Court reviewing and the judiciary reviewing the acts of the executive to determine whether or not they are constitutional in a big picture sense and micro managing on a day to day basis the individual actions that the executive orders and what they're trying to do. And this is what I sat was pointing out yesterday, arguing about birthright citizenship is the province of the judiciary. That's a big picture thing. Trump said, executive authority. Hey, I'm interpreting the fourteenth Amendment this way. Courts are going to have their take. I actually think that's going to be a challenge for Trump, even at the Supreme Court. But Trump has the clear ability to make decisions as it pertains to border security, which is the same thing that Biden was allowed to do, unfortunately to the detriment of the country. And so Stephen Miller is just destroying this argument that this left wing CNN host is trying to make it. You know, this buck from television. There's probably some frantic producer in her ear trying to give her this.

Yeah, they're trying to bail her out. And this also, though, I think, goes to what the administration learned from the first term to this term, and that is the process is the punishment. Delay is the game, and they can't allow that to happen. A big part of people will say this and they don't like when I point this out, but then they always admit that I'm right. Like I'll hear people on the right of vote for Trump say, well, you know, Russia collusion. It didn't work. I mean, it didn't get all the way, but it certainly slowed down and jammed up and messed up the administration in twenty seventeen to have to deal with all the nonsense and the media and the lawyers and the depositions and everything else. Here's Stephen Miller saying, we see what we see the game here. If every person that Trump is going to deport who is an illegal gets a federal judge saying no, you can't do that. You know this, then the whole thing just collapses. Is cut to play it?

How are you going to expel illegal alien invaders from our country who are raping little girls, who are murdering little girls. If each and every deportation has to be adjudicated and a district court judge, and that means you have no country. It means you have no sovereignty, It means you have no future. It is fundamentally incompatible to have a country and have individual expulsions adjudicated by a single distract court judge.

I'm just trying to figure out the system, do you, Because what does the Trump administration believe, because we do have separation of powers in this country.

I'm just trying to figure out the system, do you, Because what does the Trump administration believe, because we do have separation of powers in this country.

I hear what you're saying, Yes, poweriary, you're fearing Stevens. Let the executive function is the separation of power. That is the see to ignore the judge's order here because you thought you could. So the judges and the actions taken by the Departments of the Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security are not in conflict. And the department just has been clear that they are not in conflict.

See. The whole thing here with the CNN anger to be clear is they want the administration to say, well, they're just ignoring judges, and then that becomes oh my gosh, you know, constitutional crisis and all the rest of it. But in reality, the judge's order was insane. Okay, yes, plane, plane in flight, turn the plane around. As Steven he even went in up to point this out. He's like, do they know what route the plane is on? This is a national security issue. It's got a bunch of trend to Aragua terrorists on it. You're just going to change the route? Do you know? You know who's meeting the plane on the other side? What you know. The whole thing it is, it is insane that this judge did this. But if you go and you look at him, he's got a super anti Trump, lunatic wife. He was involved with the Russia collusion fives and nonsense. He's an anti Trump hashtag resistant psycho. It's like a member of what's that group, the the Lincoln Project or whatever it is that the Lincoln Project has a judge and it's this guy.

Yeah, and look, this is the angle. I told you that this is the angle they're gonna try to take yesterday. They're very clearly going to try to avoid arguing against what Trump did in terms of the deportation, and instead, buck they're going to argue he's a dictator. He's defying court orders.

Right.

Right.

They're not going to talk about whether the court order was legitimate. They're not going to talk about what the court order actually did or would have required, which is bringing felons back into the country. They're going to talk about the fact that he defied an order. And I'll tell you what they're also going to do. And we told you this was coming, but prepare yourself. Trump is not going to be flawless on the deportations. I'm just telling all of you this, He's not going to be flawless. They're gonna get the wrong guy. They're gonna it's it's impossible to be one hundred percent accurate. And what they're going to do is they're going to find that anecdote, that guy who was misidentified, and they're going to turn him into a national symbol of Trump's authoritarianism. And this is why anecdotal stories buck are often unfair because the anecdote should be representative of the larger story.

When an anecdote is the outlier, which is what happened with BLM, most people will have great relationships and interactions with police. One thing goes bad, and this is indicative of how every black person in America is taught, is treated, and so it's fundamentally unfair.

It's propaganda. This is what they're trying to do right now. This Mackmood Khalil guy. What you're saying is what they're trying to do right now now. Machmood Khalil is for a lot of us not sympathetic at all. So that's the only difference. But they've tried to rally around this guy and say that he is the first example of Trump's overreach and authoritarianism and all the rest of it. Yeah, I mean, try try not to have some pro homast you hating miniac as your as your standard bearer, and things will probably be better off for the Democrats. But we'll see, once again with Trenda Raguwall, you have Democrats going to the mat to defend really the worst of the worst, the worst of the worst. And that's the other part of this too, Clay, Like, we're arguing about this on the on the legal grounds and the constitutional grounds. For a lot of people, it's just you know, I just don't want these these scumbag gang members who aren't even allowed to be in the country in the first place, to be here anymore. And whoever gets rid of them, I like that, get them out of the country. You know, Trump understands that aspect of this too. There's no there's no normal person who's like, you know what, we really need more trying to Iragua hitman in America. That would be good. Let's have more of that. So yeah, he's he's forcing them to uh to to take some very unpopular stands but Democrats again run up the scoreboard. Everybody. We've got to keep running up the scoreboard.

Okay.

A report on what Trump and Putin spoke about is now out. I'm reading this from Caroline Levitt, who posted this on social media. Today, President Trump and President Putin spoke about the need for peace and a ceasefire in the Ukraine War. Both leaders agreed this conflict needs to end with a lasting peace. They also stress the need for improved bilateral relations between the United States and Russia. The blood and treasure that both Ukraine and Russia have been spending in this war, would we better spent on the needs of their people. Conflicts should have never started and should have ended long ago with sincere and good faith piece efforts. Again, I'm reading from the statement, the leaders agreed the movement to peace will begin with an energy and an infrastructure cease fire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full cease fire and permanent peace. These negotiations will begin immediately. In the Middle East, the leader spoke broadly about the Middle East as a region of potential cooperation to prevent future conflict. They further discussed the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons and will engage with others to ensure the broadest possible application. The two leaders shared the view Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel, and the two leaders agreed a future with an improved bilateral relationship between the US and Russia has huge upside, including enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved. That is the statement that was just released. On the call between Putin and Trump. Up a little bit earlier, we were talking about when was the last time Biden talked. Biden had not spoken to Putin since the invasion of Ukraine. He did speak to him in twenty twenty one. Just to FYI. We were asking. I was whether they had spoken while Biden was in office. It happened in twenty twenty one.

Buck.

Buck.

I think all of that is moving in a very favorable direction. I guess the question out here and again that is the statement we just released that was just released by the White House. If Trump is able to actually get peace in Ukraine, wouldn't he deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? Like in an honest, legitimate world. Wouldn't this be the very definition of what a mediator and or leader who was not directly involved in the conflict should receive for ending a conflict of this significance.

Wouldn't this be the very definition of what a mediator and or leader who was not directly involved in the conflict should receive for ending a conflict of this significance.

Yes, of course, But the Nobel Peace Prize has gone to Barack ob for doing nothing. I think Yaser Erafat got it at one point. You look at the people who've gotten the Nobel Peace Prize and it has unfortunately become a a bit of a political joke in a lot of ways. So I know your point is well taken, which is that this would be a momentous, momentous diplomatic win and not just a win for humanity. I mean truly, when I don't know how many of you have watched, there's a lot of video out there about what's going on on the Ukraine Russia front and what these soldiers are going through. It is trench warfare. They have drones that are flying in at them and blowing people up. Every day, They've got artillery rounds blowing up all around. I mean, it's you've got guys that are storming trenches and you know, machine gunning each other at close range. Like it's horrible stuff that's happening day in and day out over there. And bringing this to an end, it would be such a win. And it's very frustrating, is even the right word. It's grotesque when you see these people that are saying, but Trump is just throwing in the towel. What are these people think is going to happen? You know, at some point it feels like the Slava Ukrainian people really just feel like if they string this thing out long enough, maybe we'll have American sent over there to do the fighting for them, which is an absolute red line for you, for me, and I know for everybody listening. I mean, that's just completely beyond the pale. We should not lose a single American life, a single American finger fighting over who's in control of the eastern portion of Ukraine. And in the meantime, there's nothing to be gained in the long run for Ukraine continuing to fight and lose its entire able bodied male population, when there's the possibility that you could still have a country that is functioning, a country that has a homeland for the Ukrainian people, and wouldn't be in the midst of it a horrible and bloody war. Like I said, Clay, it used to be that the Democrats were supposedly the peace party. They were really the undermine America during time of war party. That's actually more accurate, but they would at least go through the motions of pretending that they didn't want, you know, don't go after Saddam in the first war, don't go after Saddam in the second ward. Don't you know? They were the ones that were saying we and maybe they're right about the second one, but we shouldn't be fighting these wars, except when it comes to wars like this where there's some humanitarian interest and no real American interest at stake. So I think that if Trump was able to pull this off, it's a huge win all around. And again it brings us back to yes, Trump out there negotiating to end wars and stop bloodshed, just like Hitler would have done. I would also point out, if we could get a ceasefire, the price of gas would drop immediately in a significant fashion. Trump sees that he knows all this stuff with Russia has hurt us economically, probably in the West, more than it's hurt Russia. Russia doesn't really care.

Yes, of course, But the Nobel Peace Prize has gone to Barack ob for doing nothing. I think Yaser Erafat got it at one point. You look at the people who've gotten the Nobel Peace Prize and it has unfortunately become a a bit of a political joke in a lot of ways.

It is trench warfare. They have drones that are flying in at them and blowing people up. Every day, They've got artillery rounds blowing up all around. I mean, it's you've got guys that are storming trenches and you know, machine gunning each other at close range. Like it's horrible stuff that's happening day in and day out over there. And bringing this to an end, it would be such a win. And it's very frustrating, is even the right word. It's grotesque when you see these people that are saying, but Trump is just throwing in the towel. What are these people think is going to happen? You know, at some point it feels like the Slava Ukrainian people really just feel like if they string this thing out long enough, maybe we'll have American sent over there to do the fighting for them, which is an absolute red line for you, for me, and I know for everybody listening. I mean, that's just completely beyond the pale. We should not lose a single American life, a single American finger fighting over who's in control of the eastern portion of Ukraine. And in the meantime, there's nothing to be gained in the long run for Ukraine continuing to fight and lose its entire able bodied male population, when there's the possibility that you could still have a country that is functioning, a country that has a homeland for the Ukrainian people, and wouldn't be in the midst of it a horrible and bloody war. Like I said, Clay, it used to be that the Democrats were supposedly the peace party. They were really the undermine America during time of war party. That's actually more accurate, but they would at least go through the motions of pretending that they didn't want, you know, don't go after Saddam in the first war, don't go after Saddam in the second ward. Don't you know? They were the ones that were saying we and maybe they're right about the second one, but we shouldn't be fighting these wars, except when it comes to wars like this where there's some humanitarian interest and no real American interest at stake. So I think that if Trump was able to pull this off, it's a huge win all around. And again it brings us back to yes, Trump out there negotiating to end wars and stop bloodshed, just like Hitler would have done. I would also point out, if we could get a ceasefire, the price of gas would drop immediately in a significant fashion. Trump sees that he knows all this stuff with Russia has hurt us economically, probably in the West, more than it's hurt Russia. Russia doesn't really care.

And even the opening backup of the Black Sea would dramatically decrease prices for a variety of goods, including is am. I correct that Ukraine is one of the largest wheat producing countries in the world, and that you know, you know, the amount of goods that the grain is used to produce has also driven up the cost. And I've been told that because of the shipping costs associated with the dangers of the Black Sea. The other thing is Trump has attacked the huties in the Red Sea area, right that is also driven up the cost of goods being shipped around the world. So while there is a great focus on tariffs and what the impact of the cost of goods could be for tariffs, I think in Trump's internal calculation, he is seeing the ending of the wars to the extent that we can keep them ended. And I know they've reignited right now in the Middle East, But if you could end the war in Ukraine.

This summer. I think you would see a massive deflationary movement on a variety of the price of goods, in particular oil and gas. You know, there is there is a historical mirror image here perhaps, or there's echoes of when Reagan came into office. Vulkar had to tighten things, tighten things at a level that way beyond what we've seen so far in terms of how high rates had to go. And yeah, I mean there was essentially a recession. Reagan more or less inherited that recession, but you had to you had to get the you know, you had to clear the system out, you had to get things under control, and there was a little bit of economic pain that the country had to go through early on, and then one years of boom and prosperity afterwards. Right, So, if this is a Reagan moment for Trump on the economy, and I think there are a lot of reasons to believe that it could be and that it will be. The historical analogy here is very favorable. But it might take a year, eighteen months something like that for things to really get cooking the way they would like them to. You cannot fix a problem that others refuse to fix and expect that there's not going to be some discomfort along the way, because why wouldn't they fix it if that wasn't the case.

This is, though, a very good sign. I think it's hard to spin it as a bad sign. It'll be interesting to see what the larger media ecosystem says about this. Remember, Ukraine has effectively already agreed to a thirty day ceasefire, and it sounds like Russia is willing to potentially get involved as well.

Let's say, let's just go through a best case scenario for those of us who are adults, and then I'll tell you what the Libs will say and how they'll play this. Right, Let's assume that this ceasefire goes forward, and maybe it doesn't, and maybe, you know, maybe Trump ends up having to drop the hammer on Putin with a whole lot more economic warfare stuff, and that's all possible. Okay, we don't know. We don't get ahead of ourselves here, but if you're gonna wargain this out a little bit, uh, Let's assume, Clay, that the ceasefire goes forward and it is durable, and we go into at every phase of the ceasefire. You know, you'll be hearing from Democrats Putin got too much of what he wanted, and he could break the ceasefire any moment. Putin got too much of what he wanted, and he could break the ceasefire any You're gonna hear that over and over for months and months and months, so that by the time it's clear that this conflict, if this happens, this conflict actually has ceased to be the war, the meat grinder of humanity that it has been. They're just hoping to play this out so that nobody even realizes that Trump is well, you know, if you extend this out and complain about it the whole time, it denies him, at some level the victory, the political victory at least to some that he would be winning by ending this thing. You see what I mean. They complain, They say, we don't know yet, we don't know yet, and they keep doing that until eventually when it's clear, oh no, Trump actually pulled off something of a diplomatic miracle here, people will have moved on to other things that I think that's how they play it because they're never going to say, wow, he's a brilliant statesman, and he saved thousands and thousands of lives and had the economy boom because of it.

It is a really good sign that they are talking. I think again, we read you the read out on the report. I am cautiously optimistic. I like to be able to look at polymarket. It has now buck the chances of a ceasefire by May one at sixty percent. You know, you can go take either side on this on this prediction market, right, It's kind of interesting to look at, but that is a small favorite that we may have a ceasefire in Ukraine by May one. The other reason, the timing matters on this a lot buck, and I do think it's worth, you know, reinforcing this on a regular basis. Typically as it gets warm in Ukraine, the armies are better able to move and the overall fatality rates increase. It's still the midst of winter over there right now, but moving the fighting scenes essentially the same thing was true in Afghanistan when when the mountain passes melt down and it's easier to you know, to move around, you get more fighting and more shooting. So hopefully if there is a ceasefire, they could get a ceasefire in place by the time it starts to warm up there, so that we can limit the overall amount of death that might be occurring. And again to your point, yes, very hilarian of Trump to try to end the largest war in Europe since World War Two. It's exactly what Hitler would have done if he had been in a position of prominence in America. And obviously we're ridiculing the absurdity of that.
