Third hour Thursday edition, Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. We are rolling through with a ton of different breaking news stories. We've been talking about the firing that just happened while we were live on the air at the top of the second hour of Pam Bondi as Attorney General. President Trump says she is going to move into the private sector. We have been talking. about the situation in Iran, the launch of Artemis II, and the address that President Trump had last night. We are now joined by Katie Zachariah. She is a lawyer. She has got...

A lot of different opinions on a variety of topics. But Katie, thanks for joining us right off the top. Pam Bondi is out. You're a lawyer. I floated several names. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, both senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz. There are reports that Lee Zeldin might be the choice. If you sort of had a magic wand and you were able to put names into the mix for Attorney General. Based on your legal background, anybody that stands out to you that you think would do a good job as Attorney General. Well, you had a great list there, and Ron DeSantis has done an excellent job in Florida, and I'd love to juxtapose that with our disaster out here in California. But when I look at Attorney General, I look at really, I like Todd Blanche a lot. That man stood behind President Trump during the off years. He risked his career to defend him in court. He is savage and he is cutthroat, and I absolutely like him. So if he does a great job as acting AG, I think that they should put him permanently in that position. and he should be there to support the president. I think he is a great pick. Okay. Hey, Katie, it's Buck. There's some stories out there, not confirmed yet, but that have to do with the departure of Pambandi and something along the lines of an investigation that was going on into Eric Swalwell, who, as we all know, is, unless I'm missing something, supposed to be the next governor of California, according to the Democrats, right? Is there any way in your mind as a California and a lawyer? Is there any way in your mind that Eric Swalwell might get pushed aside by the Democrats based on, I'm not saying a Republican is going to win in California, but if something really tough comes out, let's just say, in this investigation to Eric Swalwell, his ties to the Chinese spy, this is the stuff that's out there. Is it easy for them, you think, to move somebody else into the slot, or is Eric Swalwell, the Democrats guy in California, come what may? Great question, but who are they going to put in Katie Porter? Right? Like, I think they're banking on Eric Swalwell because they don't have anyone else. And if he turns out to have this, you know, he has this situation with where does he live? Is he in California or is he in, was it D.C. or Maryland or Virginia, he had another residence. And so he has a lot of factors against him. What he doesn't have against him is he has good hair, which, you know, the, the, the, current governor has great hair, and that's what he's going to run for president on, and that's about it. And I think he has right now the support of the Democrat Party, but they're going to have to do a hard line with him. And as soon as this stuff starts trickling out, he has a long history of this. This is not new about Eric Swalwell. He's just kind of flown under the radar for a long time. And reports are indicating that he may or may not have been friends with Pam Bondi. I don't know the veracity of that. But if he now doesn't have a friend as AG,

Maybe we're going to see a little bit more about Eric Swalwell coming out, in my opinion. Isn't it crazy, Katie, that he could be having allegedly a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, I believe Fang Fang, and that he could now, sometimes people get elected and I might not agree with him, but I can sit back and say, okay, you know what, I can see how that. The idea that Eric Swalwell could be in charge of California, as bad as Gavin Newsom has been, I think Eric Swalwell would be orders of magnitude worse. And again, he allegedly slept with a Chinese spy. I just can't believe that he's electable anywhere. Correct. We need to start going after him on all of those things. He hasn't done anything for California. It's all been, it's all really been him promoting himself. And that's what we've seen with most of these government officials out of California. And really, I know a lot of places. But he shouldn't be, he should not be a serious contender. But this is a problem that the Democrat Party faces on a presidential. They don't have good candidates right now. And so they're polling from Gavin Newsom and our state is now we're bankrupt. Everyone's fleeing Los Angeles in droves. Hollywood can't make a film here. Industries crashing. President Trump has to have an emergency order to drill oil from our, you know, my, you're an entire state over a gold bed of oil, and they're not doing anything about it. So look, the Democrat Party is in free fall. I... And I think that this is going to come back to Hans Wallwell and we're going to be left with a Katie Porter, which means we're probably going to have a Republican governor. It's amazing. We're speaking to Katie Zachariah. It's amazing that you mentioned Hollywood in there. Now it's for a while, I think, the talking points from the Democrats have been where the global media power or, you know, global entertainment powerhouse. And it's all Hollywood's doing great. And look at this and look at that. And now finally the numbers have come out for people that work. In this arena, I'm not talking about Netflix executives who can just write checks to have the show made in Budapest or Vancouver, which is, that's actually happening a lot because it's so much cheaper. For anyone who lives in Los Angeles County, which has been for 100 years with Hollywood, the epicenter of the global film and entertainment industry. It's turning into a ghost town for that industry, right? The jobs are down, what, like 60, 70 percent? I mean, it's in free fall. Do people realize that this is because of policy? Because of what has been done by the governance, by the governing bodies of California?

Well, I hope so, because if you look at this trajectory, this has really been in, I mean, Gavin Newsom inherited a little bit of this, but the free fall has really been happening since then. And it goes into the wider story of Hollywood. They're not making movies that Americans want to see anymore. And so they're, you know, they're selling woke, woke, woke, and people are now finding alternative forms of entertainment and looking towards alternative studios like Angel Studios to find family-friendly. non-woke material that they can watch with their entire family. So listen, what's happening in Hollywood with the taxes, people can't afford it. So you have an actor or an aspiring actor who comes out here and wants to work in Hollywood. They can't even afford a one-bedroom apartment in the middle of West Hollywood or really in any of the surrounding regions. So it's a whole problem of affordability, taxes, material that they can't use, and the decline of Hollywood in general. And so they're going to play. is like Georgia, I myself went to go to have a film filmed in Ireland because it was a quarter of the cost to do it in Ireland. This was a young George Washington film that's going to be coming out. But they had to film this whole thing in Ireland because the tax incentives are so terrible in the United States. So Los Angeles is just they never get it right right now. And there's a mass exodus because you cannot afford to live here and be an aspiring actor or really an aspiring entrepreneur. Katie, did I just hear that you have a role in young George Washington? My husband is an executive producer on the film. So yes, we got to go to Ireland and travel for that film, which was an exciting time. That's super cool. And I do think this is important. And I've said it quite a lot. I've spent a lot of time in L.A. I have a lot of great friends in L.A. Probably the second city that I've spent the second most time in almost in my life. And I've done a lot of television. And Katie, I'm sure you've seen this too. And I've talked about it on the program before, but sometimes people hear, oh, well, there's a lot less jobs for Hollywood. Good. I hope they wear it. Actually, a lot of the people losing those jobs are Republicans. A lot of the people who build the sets. A lot of the people who walk around and carry the cameras. A lot of the people who do the physical labor that is required to make movie and television shows and commercials actually vote red. So they don't even share the politics of the people that are costing them their jobs. And I do think that's worth keeping in mind. Remember, in 2020, there were more Republican votes for Donald Trump in California than in Texas in 2020. Now, that's a function of population. But Katie, there are a lot of people who agree with you, me, and Buck, that live all over California. Well, that's the case. And we feel like the underrepresented majority here because you have a lot of frustration. But again, California shows exactly why sanctuary states should not happen, exactly why we should have the Save Act.

And exactly why we should be able to regulate who's voting in our elections. Because if everything gets cleaned up and you have proof of citizenship and you have people that are supposed to be voting, only voting in California, this state would not be blue. It would not be even deep blue. I think we would be purple to red based on what you just said. Most Californians do not agree with the current governance. Most Californians... do like President Trump and his policies and want more of President Trump's policies, but have been completely stomped on by the Democrat Party in California. And if you look at the fraud, on top of that, we're paying a high, high price to continue with these sanctuary policies and sanctuary politicians.

Got a bunch of talkbacks and calls we wanted to get to here. And maybe we'll even have an update for you on the next AG, if that is announced formally. We know Pam Bondi has, she is moving on to greener pastures. There you go. uh this is let's do jay podcast listener josh from georgia on that uh georgia candidate interview we just did uh hit hit jay please love the show and i love having these democrat republican and for guests this guy from georgia in my opinion i'm from georgia in my opinion He's full of crap. He's saying what he needs to say to try to get the Republican vote to get to win. That's just my honest opinion. Take it as you leave it. I'm in there, and I'm not voting for him. But he does talk a good game. Yeah, I'm just going to say it. I asked him this. So it's nothing I didn't say to the gentleman when he called in. If you're going to take nothing but Republican positions, you've got to be with the Republican Party, right? It's kind of a weird deal.

Well, that's why, look, first of all, he reached out to us. He wanted to come on. He wanted to talk to all of you. I respect that. I would want to talk to all of you if I were running for office, frankly, at any position, because this is one of the biggest audiences you can talk to anywhere in the country. But I asked, I mean, I think if someone voted for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, I would be hard pressed to vote for them for any office in the country. I think that's a disqualifying judgment call. Yes, I would agree with that entirely. Yeah. Again, just to be clear, everybody, we're not endorsing that guy. We have, there are rules. There are FCC rules. We had on somebody who's running for that seat. This guy is running for the seat as well from the Democrat side. He has to come on. We're respecting the rules and fair play. So that's where this is. It's not an editorial judgment either way. I actually think it speaks well to the growth of the show that... This show has gotten so big. And look, Rush built an incredible foundation. But the show didn't exist on podcasts. The show didn't exist on video. We have to compete in a way in the marketplace that did not exist in the 80s and 90s. Yeah. We have to be every platform. Okay. This is not just a radio show. It's a radio show. It's a podcast. It's a stream. It's video. It's clips that go on everything from Instagram, the TikTok to Facebook to... This is just the nature of communication these days in the media marketplace. This is the reality. But as it pertains to having Democrats on, I'm going to tell you guys, I'm going to tell you this right now. If Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would come on this show, we would have her on the show. We would ask her the kind of questions that should be asked, and maybe it would get very contentious. Maybe not if she was respectful. We would ask her questions. We'd press her on some things. But respect will always be met with respect here. And so I just want to be clear about that. It's not that we're not afraid to have Democrats on. It's just, one, are they worth hearing from? And two, You know, are they willing to come on in the first place? That's actually the bigger one. The bigger problem is most of them are to be fair. Most are afraid to come on. By the way, podcast listener, what do we just play? We played Josh from Georgia, right? Terry says this is L. That was an interesting interview with Sean Harris. Thank you for having him on. I wish you would ask him, though, after he was wishy-washy on supporting Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker, what Democrat congressperson would he consider supporting for Speaker if someone else was running?

Yeah, I'm going to tell you, I mean, that's a fair point. I just want to say, Clay, that again, with respect to the gentleman who called in and respect to him, he served his country for 40 years, whenever you're saying in an interview, I'm not trying to dodge the question. You're usually dodging the question. So he was like, he was like, I'm not dodging this. I'm at every like, I think you're kind of dodging this. The reason I do think that question matters so much is you can be a moderate. Democrat, moderate Republican, but ultimately when you have basically a 50-50 divided government, who you vote for as Speaker or who you vote for as Senate Majority Leader is this positive, right? And so he didn't commit 100% to voting for Hakeem Jeffries, but he also said he'd have to consider who else was running. I thought that was kind of interesting. And this is an intriguing race only because there's a special election. I believe it's in May. And then they turn around and have the full election in November, which is a little bit odd because Marjorie Taylor Greene dropped out. Now, David from Alabama, I don't know if he's a War Eagle or Crimson Tide guy. He's mad. Cut K. Did you hear the mass exit of your audience as he was speaking? It came right as he said he is a Democrat. Doesn't happen. I just disagree with this. I mean, I just totally disagree with this. I think that this, we have way too much respect for this audience to think that people's ears are too sensitive to hear the words of a... We play clips from Democrats all the time. And if someone's going to come on the show, who is a worthwhile, whether it's because they're running in an important race or because they're important on our national issue, again, we're not going to have random Democrat members of Congress on that no one's ever heard of. It's a waste of your time. This guy's running. He's running for a competitive. Well, maybe it's not competitive, but he's got equal time requirements for that seat because we had on his competitor. So there we go. I will say this. I've been doing radio for 20 years. No one who has ever said, I'm never going to listen again, has ever done it. They always email again two weeks later and they're like, I'm mad again and I'm never listening again. This is just a lesson for radio. Turns out, that is in fact usually the case.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show rolling through the Thursday edition of the program. We are joined now by Ann Coulter. Ann Buck and I wanted to have you on because as we were watching the Supreme Court debate on birthright citizenship, you probably more than, first of all, thanks for coming on, but you probably more than anyone out there in the entire media space. made this a real conversation worth having. And I really believe that one of the reasons why that debate occurred in the Supreme Court earlier this week was you. What was your reaction while you watched it? And what do you think as a lawyer analyzing lawyer questions is likely to come from this case? Well, thank you, and I'm thrilled that it made it to the Supreme Court. It's sort of a confusing case because in simplest terms, the 14th Amendment, as I've said over and over again, and anyone vaguely familiar with American history knows the 14th Amendment talk about who is a citizen applied only to... freed slaves. It was about, the Supreme Court held that over and over and over again. And it's kind of obvious from the history of our country. We just fought a bloody civil war. All these 13, 14, 15th amendment added, it was all about black Americans. That's all it was about. So what happened in, the tricky thing is, in Wang Kim Ark, you've probably heard a lot about that came up a lot in the discussion. The court found that illegal immigrants born in the US was a citizen. It shouldn't have held that. I think the decision was wrong, but it was trying to correct a ridiculous injustice of the Chinese Exclusion Act, which not only forbade any Chinese citizens from entering the United States. But apparently reentering, and this was applied to this kid, who wasn't a kid, he was 21 years old. His parents had been living in the United States. They weren't allowed to become citizens because they were Chinese, but they were living legally here. They ran a business. They were here for, I don't know, 20 years. He was born here. They went back to China. He continued to live here in the U.S., all in San Francisco with a home, jobs, businesses, and he had gone back to business. his parents. He comes back again, and they won't let him enter. Now, what the Supreme Court should have done, I'm sorry, I hope this isn't getting too boring, but it's very important and it's vital to what John Sauer, the solicitor is a legal nerd. He's super excited about it, actually. I'm actually loving this, and so please keep going. Okay, good. I'll wrap up the boring part quickly. What they should have ruled is under the 14th Amendment, the court had already held, and I think it's correct, and yick, woe, that you can't, the government can't deprive citizen or resident of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. It should have been decided under that part of the 14th Amendment.

I think it wasn't because illegal immigration didn't exist back then. I mean, for the first 400 years of our nation's history, we weren't a welfare state. So, you know, you came to the U.S. and sink or swim. As I described in Adios America, about 40% of immigrants used to go home. Because if they couldn't make it, it'd have to go back to Italy or back to wherever. So we didn't need rules on illegal immigrants. We weren't sinking them in the warm bath of social welfare. Now we have a big illegal immigration problem. I was wondering why John Sauer was talking so much about domicile. clearly what he was doing, and I think the case is clear, and I think he's right, you read through Wong, Ark Kim, and although the court was saying, well, he's a citizen, instead of saying he's a resident, and this is, you've taken his property. I mean, he has some property. He's paying rent. He has a bicycle. He has a coffee machine. He has clothes that he left here. He's lived here his whole life. What they were really distinguishing between is what I think we all want to distinguish between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. They didn't think of it back then because nobody talked about illegal immigrants. There were no illegal immigrants. But domicile is basically the same thing as legal immigrants. And luckily... Blue states, with all the residents fleeing to cheaper tax jurisdictions, they have very strict laws about what constitutes a domicile. But you have to be living legally, obeying laws. You can have done nothing to disturb your allegiance to our country. Well, off the top of my head, illegal aliens have broken our laws by coming in. illegally, residing illegally, often using illegal social security cards to say nothing of, you know, rape, DUIs, running drug cartels. Are they using fake IDs? They're allegedly living in the shadows. Okay, that is not allegiance to our country. So the domicile argument is just a synonym for legal versus illegal. How did illegal the children of illegal aliens ever get? alleged citizenship in the first place. Well, the court has never held that. The Congress has never passed such a law. It was, as I describe in a chapter in Adios America, Justice Brennan gave us anchor babies. It was a footnote in a justice. William Brennan, lunatic, liberal on the Supreme Court, and I think it was a 1983 case. It was a very recent case. I keep watching MSNBC and reading The New York Times, and they act like, it goes back to the Mayflower. If you're born on U.S. soil. Oh, no, no, no, just as Brennan made it up out of whole cloth in 19, I think, 82, in Plyler Vito.

It was dicta, meaning, as you know, Clay, no legal bearing, no other justice signed onto it. He dropped a footnote saying, I see no difference in legal and illegal immigrants. Well, There's the difference that one's legal and one's illegal. There's kind of a big difference. So that's really what we're driving at, and that's part of the reason I've been very insistent that we call the children of illegal aliens anchor babies. This isn't about birthright citizenship, which every headline calls it. Birthright citizenship is... the child born to legal immigrants living here with our consent we have invited them i mean i think we've invited way too many nonetheless they are here legally children born on u.s soil to legal immigrants are a completely different category from you know an eight-month pregnant mexican who rungs across the border citizenship shouldn't be a game of of you know red rover i beat i beat you i hid from from border patrol and dropped away baby ha ha ha you can't Can I jump in just to ask you about, so you're talking about the crossing over the board. By the way, you guys can read Anne's latest on this on her substack. But the thing that I believe, and this came up actually with John Sauer and it was John Roberts. And it was, I feel like it was really just John Roberts saying, yeah, if this collapses America and at the end of us, you know, sorry, that's the deal. But he's talking about how if you have people who can come here from China specifically to game the system. where they come here, and yeah, they're probably lying on those forms, and there's some laws they're breaking, of course. They come here, they have a baby here. They go back to China, and then at age 18, they say, hey, I'm applying to UCLA as an in-state U.S. citizen resident in California. Oh, and I want to have my whole family brought in along with me. So it's like basically a version of the anchor baby scam just run over a different timeline. How is this supposed to be a country if the Supreme Court tells us, which I'm worried they might, yeah, that's totally legit. As American as apple pie, the guy who's lived in Beijing for 20 years and spent, you know, his first five days in America. Yes, and one of the stunning things that came out in oral argument was when General John Sauer said there are, he was asked how many birth tourism, quote citizens there are in the U.S., and he gave some figures, it's estimated, you know, 100,000, maybe more than 100,000. But he said there are. 50, I think. It wasn't 500, was it? No, it's 500. 500. 500 of these. I was going to just say it. And I thought, that can't be 500 birth tourism businesses in China. It's utter madness. No country would do this. The reason I, the domicile issue was so big. I thought it was kind of weird because you've never heard anyone argue that. Read Wong.

The idea that they're extending it to women and gays and the disabled, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And Ketanji Brown Jackson generally, two more points on that, I will take eight Ketanji Brown Jackson's over a single William Brennan. And finally, one point in her favor, interestingly enough, when the NRA sued New York State for, I don't know if you remember, they were, of course, New York State, they're coming up. They just, the attorney general, they are the one who went after Trump was also just trying to, yes, she's just trying to put conservative businesses or. operations like the NRA, like V-DARE, the immigration website, out of business through, whoa, those were the first law fair cases. Ketanji Brown Jackson, I believe she was agreeing that what New York State had done was outrageous. It was a discriminatory. It was a violation of their free speech rights. She dropped a footnote saying, I think the case V-DARE has brought is way stronger than the NRA cases. So I give her credit for that. And real quick, I'm not going to ask you to weigh in too much on the Pam Bondi things. We've talked about it. And I don't know if there's solidarity between blonde ladies with law degrees or not. But who do you think should be the next AG? We haven't gotten official word of this yet. Who would you want to see of the possible contenders that are out there? Is Dan Bongino a lawyer? But it's my main complaint with bonding. I mean, what I don't like about it is, if it had been over handling of the Epstein files, I'd say way to go, Mr. President. But I gather she was following his orders on that. And I don't know, maybe the media is lying to me. But if it's just over not pursuing the revenge prosecutions, which I think are legit, but it's important, it's not as important as, building the wall, deporting illegals, protecting Americans from rank discrimination against white people. You know, the stuff Trump ran on. All right, but who do you want then? Who do you want? Everyone's listening. Who do you want? Dan Bongino. I want Dan Bongino. I was a lawyer? I mean, that's a funny answer. Who, like, let's pretend. Let's pretend that you could get, you got this pick, right? It's like fantasy draft. Who would be the best. possible attorney general in terms of implementing all the things that you care about the most. Is there a name or you're like, this person's brilliant, this person's got all the tactical skill? Paul Casell, he's brilliant. He's as brilliant as he's one of the top lawyers in the country. He wrote the Victims Civil Rights Act that all of the Epstein, I'm victims generally, but Epstein victims sued under. He was the first one to bring that case on behalf of the Jane Does because prosecutors around the country, it only applies to federal prosecutors, obviously federal law.

They were just striking plea deals with monstrous criminals without even alerting the family. I mean, forget the Epstein victims. All criminal victims were being abused by federal prosecutors. So Cassell wrote this law and then happened to notice that all these, both in the state prosecution, but you can't do anything under a federal law with that. And the federal prosecution, these Epstein victims weren't even, and these are the original ones, the real ones, the absolutely uncontestable ones. The deal that Alex Acosta struck, they weren't even notified of. So he spearheaded that case. He's brilliant. He was put on the 10th Circuit by Bush. He didn't like being a judge. He's a professor. He's absolutely brilliant. And he also pushed for a long time to get Miranda overturned. All right. And we got a hard break. We're in a hard break. We've got to go. We've got to go.
