Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H1 - Trust in Trump
4/4/202637 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome in on this Tuesday edition, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
0:10The number one story remains what is going to happen in Iran.
0:16And President Trump has sent very strong suggestions that this is going to be winding
0:23down very, very soon. And as a result, the stock market is surging today.
0:30As Trump has said, look, the reality is the United States is not particularly reliant
0:37on oil and gas arriving through the Strait of Hormuz.
0:41And as a result, it is not the responsibility of the United States to be
0:47the world's policeman as it pertains to oil and gas being able to come through.
0:52Early morning press conference from Pete Hegseth, basically letting it be known that there are
0:58still a lot of different options.
1:01And I thought most interestingly, Buck, saying actually regime change did occur.
1:09Now, we still don't officially, at least publicly, know who is going to be running
1:14things from Iran. But Pete Hegseth, this morning in a press conference from the Pentagon,
1:20said regime change has happened.
1:23And then if Iran is not willing to make a deal, we'll continue to rain
1:29down holy hell upon them.
1:31This is what that sounded like.
1:32Cut five. If Iran is wise, they will cut a deal.
1:35President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down.
1:38You can ask Khomeini about that.
1:39The new Iranian regime should know that by now.
1:42This new regime, because regime change has occurred, should be wiser than the last.
1:47President Trump will make a deal.
1:49He is willing. And the terms of the deal are known to them.
1:51If Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department will continue with even
1:57more intensity. So that was Pete Hegseth point one.
2:02The other one is President Trump made it quite explicit, as Pete Hegseth said, in
2:08a choreographed truth posting this morning.
2:12Listen to Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, analyze what President Trump said.
2:17Cut six. I think the president was clear this morning in his truth that there
2:20are countries around the world who ought be prepared to step up on this critical
2:23waterway as well. It's not just the United States Navy.
2:26Last time I checked, there was supposed to be a big, bad Royal Navy that
2:28could be prepared to do things like that as well.
2:31So he's pointing out this is an international waterway that we use less than most,
2:34in fact, dramatically less than most.
2:35So the world ought to pay attention and be prepared to stand up.
2:38President Trump's been willing to do the heavy lifting on behalf of the free world
2:41to address this threat of Iran.
2:42It's not just our problem set going forward, even though we have done the lion's
2:47share of preparation to ensure that that straight will be will be open, which is
2:50an outcome that the president's been very clear on.
2:52Okay, Buck, my biggest takeaway here as I analyze everything about what the president and
2:58what Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, said is it feels to me like Trump is
3:03looking for a way to kind of deliver a coup de grace of sorts and
3:09just say we're out. A drop the mic moment that he proclaims as victory and
3:15is able to step out and then, in theory, gas prices return to normalcy.
3:21The stock market, as you are seeing today, is buying into that idea as it
3:25is surging very much. Is that your analysis of where we are?
3:29How would you analyze the latest statements on Iran from the president and Pete Hegseth?
3:36Well, first up, here is his truth that he put out.
3:41It is called the truth, not a tweet, technically.
3:43All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz,
3:48like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I
3:52have a suggestion for you.
3:53Number one, buy from the U .S.
3:55We have plenty. And number two, build up some delayed courage, go to the strait,
4:00and just take it, all caps.
4:03You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself.
4:05The U .S .A. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't
4:09there for us. Iran has been essentially decimated.
4:13The hard part is done.
4:15Go get your own oil, President Donald J.
4:20Trump. No thank you for your attention in this matter.
4:22So I guess he's just had enough of people expecting him to always thank them
4:27for the attention. Clay, Trump wants the straight open, and I think, to move on
4:34from this as soon as possible.
4:35So if the straight opens up, if there's some agreement with Iran that allows the
4:41administration to say, you know what, we're able to now stop the continuous airstrikes, they'll
4:47take that off -ramp, I think, very quickly.
4:49And yeah, go ahead. No, I think that builds in.
4:54To me, what is being sought here is an opportunity that feels significant that President
5:00Trump can take as the climactic action that demonstrates this entire operation is over.
5:07And I think the way the stock market is reacting today is that that is
5:12sooner rather than later. You said you thought April 1.
5:16We're sitting here at March 31st.
5:18I think I said by middle of April at the latest.
5:23So we're very much in agreement in general.
5:25with the timing here and it feels to me like that this is trump signifying
5:30to everybody hey most of this work is done i also think buck it factors
5:34in a bit uh for uh this possibility israel may not be done and it
5:41may be the case that we begin to step back uh from the perspective of
5:46the united states military action and that as a result israel is in many ways
5:51operating on their own timeline which might be a bit different than ours that that
5:56would be i think that would be a big problem because if we if iran
6:00doesn't create a choke point at the strait by threat if iran basically says we
6:06agree we will not hit any oil tankers in the strait or any ships at
6:11all for that matter and then israel continues airstrikes i think iran's going to say
6:15hold on a second this is our leverage so i think i think the israelis
6:20have to cut it if we cut it as well they can't continue on with
6:23the campaign unless they want to be in a position where essentially the united states
6:27will have a ceasefire of sorts and the israelis will continue the conflict i think
6:33that's a very tough look for the israelis uh if that were to if that
6:38were to go down that that pathway so in the meantime we're hoping that they
6:42end this thing uh as quickly as possible uh and that gas prices normalize and
6:47all these things allow us to move on i mean secretary of war uh hegseth
6:53has been very clear that he thinks we are close to this being done um
7:00and in terms of the boots on the ground situation we didn't play eight yet
7:03did we clay because i think this is important this is the big we are
7:05not here he is talking about uh boots on the ground and how this is
7:11about options and getting to the desired outcome it's not telegraphing or making promises in
7:18advance of a negotiation with the enemy play eight as far as president trump and
7:23boots on the ground i don't understand why the base which they have already they
7:26understand wouldn't have faith in his ability to execute on this look at his track
7:30record pursuing peace through strength america first outcomes and what he's simply saying and it's
7:35exactly true and i've said from this podium too we're not going to foreclose any
7:39option you can't fight and win a war if you tell your adversary what you
7:42are willing to do or what you are not willing to do to include boots
7:46on the ground our adversary right now thinks there are 15 different ways we could
7:49come at them with boots on the ground and guess what there are so if
7:52we needed to we could execute those options on behalf of the president united states
7:56and this department or maybe we don't have to use them at all maybe negotiations
8:00work or maybe there's a different approach the point is to be unpredictable in that
8:04clay he's basically saying trust in trump yeah that's the strategy trust in trump he
8:09knows what he's doing we're going to get to the other side of this and
8:13i'm getting the sense still that most republicans democrats i can't wait because they hate
8:18trump and you know that they're but most republicans i think are still in the
8:22trust in trump phase because other than a spike in gas prices what is the
8:28loss that would turn them against trump so much i don't think it's there and
8:33even the boots on the ground possibility right now is being used as leverage it's
8:36not actually happening yeah i think that's where democrats get lost still with trump he
8:42throws out a variety of different perspectives and again i think one of the most
8:46successful things trump has done is keep iran on its toes and not aware of
8:51what's going to happen he caught them by surprise on the june attack uh when
8:56we bombed initially he clearly caught them by surprise when they took out the ayatollah
9:01and so iran right now is sort of on their back foot trying to assess
9:05what's likely to end up happening and i don't think there's an easy answer as
9:11to uh what exactly they are able to do i will say there's a ton
9:16of vehicles ton of boats moving through the strait of hormuz today which is the
9:22highest level of boat traffic that we have seen in basically a month and i
9:28do think that that is a uh that is a tacit sign that some elements
9:34of iran have been telling the oil and gas community hey we are okay with
9:39having you being able to uh to transit and we're not necessarily going to attack
9:46you remember the strait of hormuz is iran cutting its own throat because the only
9:51way this regime has any money at all is from sending their oil and gas
9:56through the strait of hormuz and so if iran is bombing you could say yes
10:00well they could let their own fleet go through and they could bomb other boats
10:05which i guess is a possibility there but i think that's going to be a
10:08hard distinction to make and uh that ultimately um the fact that we're seeing way
10:14more ships go through in transit i think buck is actually a sign that iran
10:19is trying to prove to trump that he is negotiating with people who do in
10:23fact control decision making in iran and whether or not ships are allowed to go
10:27through is a sign of this regime having some control um the new regime because
10:34remember theoretically uh little mo uh the son of the ayatollah is in charge but
10:40we still have no idea where he is or who is making decisions and most
10:45of them may be gay we're told yes which is an interesting twist of fate
10:49that we were told this by the president himself and then i think trump said
10:53that, you know, not that there's anything wrong with that.
10:55That's right. But there would be something wrong with that in Iran, to be clear.
11:00Little Moe, you would think, would have a problem if everybody knew that.
11:04So that might have been an information operation of some sort to just get that
11:07out there, because I think it's hard to run a mulacracy if they think that
11:13you're actually a gay guy.
11:15Yes. That is a tough position to be in in Iran.
11:19And President Trump, I thought, kind of talked about that in a humorous way as
11:22we played for everybody on The Five when he called in and he was asked
11:25directly, did the CIA tell you that the leader may be gay?
11:29And he basically went full Seinfeld, not that there's anything wrong with that.
11:34Okay, we will take some of your calls.
11:36We got a loaded guest list.
11:38Isabel Brown is going to join us.
11:40She got ripped on The View for having the incredibly controversial opinion that it's good
11:44to get married and have kids and you should do it.
11:47Babies are good. How could she?
11:49Babies are good. Have them.
11:50Congressman Chip Roy is going to join us.
11:52He'll give us the latest from Capitol Hill on the chaos there as the Senate
11:56has abandoned town and the House is still trying to get things done.
12:00And then, Buck, I'm super excited for this.
12:01The head of NASA, Jared Isaacman, is going to join us as NASA is poised
12:07to launch a sort of a circle, I think, of the moon tomorrow as part
12:13of the new goal to put a colony on the moon, which is, for those
12:18of us out there that are kind of a little bit interested in space or
12:22sci -fi, a new, unique, and I think achievable goal.
12:27But he is the head of NASA and he'll be on with us in the
12:30third hour of the program, bottom of that hour.
12:32I think we'll have a fun conversation with him.
12:34So all that coming your way.
12:35If you are listening to us right now and maybe you are like, oh my
12:39goodness, it's only Tuesday, and I don't have a lot of energy and I don't

13:42Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
13:45We've got a lot to get into today.
13:48Even had a very interesting Supreme Court decision come down.
13:52And, Clay, we haven't talked yet about the birthright citizenship Supreme Court oral arguments that
13:59have happened. That is a big one.
14:01That is one of the – it probably will be – I don't know.
14:05Is there a bigger Supreme Court case of this term for at least the Trump
14:09administration and policy to consider than that one?
14:12So we've got a lot of things happening and going on.
14:16I will tell you today, Clay, that I am – this is in the not
14:20as big of a thing – but I am in Palm Beach area today.
14:26And I saw our friends from Tunnel to Towers last night, saw Frank Siller, saw
14:31Mr. Sean Hannity. Dennis Quaid was there.
14:36Good golfer, often at the Tunnel to Towers events.
14:40He's a good golfer. See, I have to – you're the – by the way,
14:42they all ask me, they're like, when are you going to learn golf?
14:45Because you're our golf representative of the show.
14:47I don't play. I don't understand.
14:49Why can't there be tennis charity events like this?
14:53Like, it's always golf everywhere.
14:54You need old guys that don't have to have a lot of athleticism to be
14:58able to do things for a long time.
14:59And golf is the one that you can hang on to for longer than most
15:03sports, I think, is the easy answer.
15:06This is probably a time to admit – because we're going to talk a lot
15:09about serious stuff in Iran and world peace and the economy and everything in a
15:13moment here. You know, I've been nursing a little bit of an injury on my
15:17arm. And people – it's actually technically tennis elbow.
15:21And people have been saying, well, you must have gotten this from tennis.
15:24No, Clay, it's worse than that.
15:27I got it from Paddel.
15:30What is Paddel, you might ask?
15:32I wonder how many of you have even heard of this.
15:35Paddel is a sports ball game that is incredibly popular, particularly in Latin America and
15:43– parts of Latin America and Europe.
15:46It was invented in Mexico.
15:49It is most probably common or, like, most beloved in Spain, actually.
15:54It's rapidly growing all over the world.
15:56It's a little bit like tennis mixed with squash, mixed with pickleball, I think, all
16:03together into one. And that is how I got injured.
16:06But I will tell you, we're going to – it's enormously popular in Miami.
16:10I'd never even heard of it until I moved to Miami.
16:12There's Paddel places opening all over the place.
16:15We're going to have to get you on a Paddel court.
16:17I've realized this is – we're going to have to get some video.
16:19Clay does Paddel. I don't even know what this is.
16:23This feels like your pistachio ice cream take, although I will say the fact that
16:28it's popular in Latin America.
16:29This feels like a very bougie way to play sports.
16:38Would this be the anti -football?
16:40Is that a fair way, anti -American football sport, if you had to select one?
16:45It's a lot of Latin American folks or Americans of Latin descent that I know
16:52who play this also play polo, so I think that tells you something.
16:56Yeah, that's super. I wouldn't even think of polo because it's so high -end.
17:00Nobody's ever invited me, thankfully, to get on a horse and try to ride around
17:04and hit something. But I have to stop making fun of producer Allie and pickleball
17:10now because I've crossed over and started playing Padel.
17:14So this is my thing now.
17:15I want to do a Padel fundraiser for Tunnel to Towers because there will be
17:20a lot of super rich guys from Latin America and Spain and stuff who can
17:24be there and can write checks.
17:25Because I can't golf. You are a golf representative.
17:28How would you describe your golf swing?
17:31I would describe it as awful.
17:37To sum it up in one word, it's a little bit better than Charles Barkley's
17:41golf swing, but I would describe it as awful on a basic level.
17:47What is your handicap if we're going with them?
17:50All of them. I think I would be like a 20.
17:53I don't get to play that much.
17:54I am not a good golfer.
17:57Well, better than me. And they were like, where's Clay?
17:59We need someone to actually play golf.
18:00I'm like, what about Padel?
18:02All right. There are but a handful of cell phone service companies these days.
18:06Pure Talk is one. AT &T, T -Mobile, and Verizon are three others.
18:10My cell phone service provider is Pure Talk.
18:13Pure Talk's pricing is all about value.
18:15$25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data.
18:19Pure Talk also creates American jobs by building a customer service team that's 100 %
18:23U .S.-based, making it easier to work with on the rare occasions that I need
18:27their help. And Pure Talk's charitable focus on helping our veterans adjust to life after
18:32their service is a critical part of what Pure Talk is all about.
18:35A percentage of every dollar you spend with Pure Talk goes to that effort.
18:38Switch your service to Pure Talk.
18:40They make it easy for you to do from your cell phone with a single
18:42phone call. Dial pound 250.
18:45Say our name's Clay N.
18:47Buck and switch to Pure Talk today.
18:49That's pound 250. Say Clay N.
18:52Buck, switch to America's wireless company, Pure Talk.
18:55Welcome back in the Clay Travis Buck Sexton show.
18:58We've got some great guests coming your way in the next couple of hours, but
19:01we have got tomorrow, Buck, you mentioned, that the Supreme Court is going to be
19:05hearing oral arguments on whether birthright citizenship should or should not be the law of
19:11the land. And look, I'm not optimistic that the Supreme Court is going to be
19:15willing to do what I think they should do, which is say that this whole
19:19concept of that citizenship by soil as opposed to citizenship by blood, which we'll get
19:26into some tomorrow, is going to be really interesting to hear how those questions come
19:31down. But in the meantime, we did have a Supreme Court ruling that came down
19:388 -1 a little bit earlier today, right before, in fact, we came on the
19:42air. Eight -to -1 Supreme Court ruling saying that a law in Colorado which tried
19:48to ban conversion therapy, which we'll get into a bit, was unconstitutional.
19:54The only justice that lined up and said, hey, I think this ban was constitutional,
20:02was Ketanji Brown -Jackson. And even Elena Kagan went after Ketanji Brown -Jackson, who filed
20:11a 35 -page dissent. And it is, look, I think the last curse of the
20:18Joe Biden era is unfortunately going to be with us for a generation plus, which
20:25is he put a wholly unqualified far -left -wing politician, not a judge, far -left
20:32-wing politician on the court, and even left -wingers on the court are, I think,
20:38frankly, embarrassed that Ketanji Brown -Jackson is there.
20:43And Buck, even Elena Kagan, who, whatever you want to say about Elena Kagan, she
20:47is a smart, principled, leftist jurist, but understands how the law works.
20:53I think former dean of Harvard Law School, you may not agree with her, but
20:58you're going to read her opinion and say there is a foundation of constitutional jurisprudence
21:05undergirding her opinions. That is not occurring here.
21:09And unfortunately, Ketanji Brown -Jackson basically is going to be worthless for generations now.
21:16But just to give everybody a little bit of a background on this, right?
21:20So the Supreme Court, Clay mentioned, 8 -1 decision, Chiles v.
21:25Salazar. And so Kaylee Chiles was a licensed Christian mental health counselor in Colorado who
21:34was giving talk therapy to people, and she was working with clients who wanted to
21:40reduce same -sex attraction. The state of Colorado has had a law.
21:48in place and there are other states with this that prohibits people who are this
21:53was a licensed therapist prohibits licensed therapists from working with people at their request to
22:01talk through and reduce same -sex attraction or gay attraction right and meanwhile they also
22:09had a law this is the part of it that was really telling you what's
22:12going on by the way what happened to colorado i used to think of colorado
22:16as like cowboys in the mountains and now it's like communists running wild uh it's
22:23it's just gotten completely the politics there yeah and remember buck they the colorado supreme
22:29court is such a mess that they said it was constitutional everybody forgets democrats tried
22:35to take trump off the ballot in colorado supreme court said you can do this
22:40the united state supreme court said 9 -0 you can't it's hard to get 9
22:45-0 i know i know even jackson think about that even jack crazy ketanji brown
22:50jackson was like guys you went too far think about how stupid that is a
22:53state thought that they could remove a person from the ballot who had no criminal
22:58conviction and no constitutional bar to running think about how insane that is yes i
23:03mean that anyone actually ever and there were people going on msnbc i'm a legal
23:07scholar you know i defend this you know anyway back to this uh this gender
23:13therapy uh or a same -sex attraction therapy stuff clay if somebody went in though
23:17seeking therapy to make them more trans that was under the law yes you could
23:24make somebody more you could push somebody down the trans path but you could not
23:29push them back from the edge of the gay path essentially and so the law
23:34uh was was clearly i mean this is obviously first amendment discrimination there's no eight
23:40eight justices found this to be first amendment discrimination ketanji brown jackson decided that words
23:47were medical care in this context so essentially she was treating this like a surgery
23:53and so if you tell somebody hey maybe you're not gay maybe you're just in
23:57a moment of confusion in your sexuality you know you're but this was for minors
24:01mind you so these are including teenagers um maybe you're not gay maybe you're having
24:06a moment let's talk this through that's like doing a a unchangeable surgery on somebody
24:12which by the way they do on the other side for the trans people um
24:17they actually do surgery but words here were being treated by ketanji brown jackson uh
24:23jackson i mean she really is she's the msnbc comment section made into a supreme
24:27court justice she is untethered to the law and unhinged when it comes to the
24:34constitution it kind of gave you a sense that there was a discomfort with her
24:40being on the supreme court where a lot of times they're very collegial relationships even
24:44across different perspectives on how to apply constitutional jurisprudence scalia and rbg were tight that's
24:52a great example they were very good friends even though intellectually they disagreed very often
24:58um there was a uh acceptance of a principle disagreement on how to apply the
25:05law across to buck's point scalia and ruth bader ginsburg both very smart um and
25:11had different readings elena kagan i think that there are a lot of people out
25:15there who say hey i may not agree with her you know renderings of judgment
25:20but i trust the intellectual heft that she is bringing to bear on those opinions
25:24when amy coney barrett buck i thought it was very significant amy coney barrett does
25:30not seem like the kind of person who wants to take a two by four
25:32to people very often she seems like what she is a mom who tries to
25:37be kind and some of her responses to katanji brown jackson were the equivalent judicially
25:44of just throwing your hands up in the air and saying i can't even stomach
25:49these arguments they're embarrassing they don't recognize any past precedent um and elena kagan kind
25:56of did that in this 8 -1 opinion again on the left elena kagan kind
26:01of saying like come on this is an utterly ridiculous to your point buck i
26:06think it's a you know blue sky uh reddit board um uh far left wing
26:13take and that's fine if you have to far left wing takes but being a
26:18judge who does this is just again i think the final uh final awful echo
26:24and reverberation of the biden administration that unfortunately is going to be with us for
26:30generations and he told us that he was going to limit the limit the pool
26:36to black female jurists which given the actual interpretation of the constitution in most recent
26:44years is really not okay not allowed to do that i don't know how you
26:48i don't know what you can do about the legality of such a thing but
26:51clay if you if we put out a job let's just say we put out
26:54a job opening for this show and we said hey guys great opening you know
26:59we got we got great producers here we're gonna have a fabulous team for you
27:03to work with we're only hiring black women for this job yeah we would be
27:07sued and we would lose yes no question and by the way rightly so like
27:11that would be a clear violation of of the standards that you can use under
27:18the constitution and under non -discrimination and employment that's how he set up a supreme
27:22court appointment he said it out loud too it's not it's not like we're we're
27:27surmising this he said it out loud and and you have somebody who is just
27:32i i agree with you by the way i don't i see things differently than
27:36kagan but i respect that she's at least trying to stay within the law yeah
27:40katanji brown jackson you know what she's going to do more or less based upon
27:45what your standard msnbc watching leftist wants to happen yeah which is not the way
27:53it's supposed to be yeah and again it's not even a judge opinion it's just
28:00crazy left -wing opinion and i said this at the time katanji brown jackson's appointment
28:06under federal law was unconstitutional what do i mean by that you are not allowed
28:11under federal law to say i am only going to consider a black woman for
28:17a job first of all it's demeaning to the black woman because if you pick
28:21a black woman for a job and you've eliminated what is it 97 i think
28:26of lawyers 98 maybe even were eliminated on their face when biden said i'm only
28:33going to pick a black woman so you're saying i'm only picking a judge from
28:38two percent of the legal community and then he picked one that was not particularly
28:44uh astute or talented in the black female legal community can we can we unpack
28:50this first and let's unpack this for a second he picked her she had been
28:54a judge before okay did she have a leg up in that appointment because she
28:58was a black woman yes the only reason she got the job in the first
29:02place was because she was a black woman right but i'm saying yeah you know
29:05just keep keep working it back yeah yeah oh oh she went she went to
29:08harvard law okay what were her else's yeah did she have a like we we
29:13know that that tradition that generally speaking overwhelmingly black students of her age uh that
29:20went to harvard would have had a tremendous benefit from their race that as we
29:25know the supreme court has actually said you were not supposed to have you're not
29:28supposed to have that that's wrong so you can work it all the way back
29:33and people because when you'll say oh she's not qualified they'll say well she was
29:36a judge before and she went to harvard law yeah well did she have those
29:39things because she was a black female these are these are entirely valid questions which
29:45i know until recently we're told we're not allowed to ask these questions but actually
29:48no you can ask these questions um because like we said elena kagan is a
29:53uh is is a you know a gay woman she's a lesbian um she's a
29:58very talented lawyer and she's very very smart yeah so it's not about identity but
30:03the left makes it about identity there are black women who would be great on
30:07the supreme court there are black women who would absolutely deserve that job i don't
30:13think that uh katanji brown jackson is one of them i agree and that's just
30:18you know observing what we can all see here because they they never say look
30:22at the look at the depth and clarity of the opinions i know they have
30:26staffs but the opinions put out on her look at the depth and clarity clay
30:28she speaks like five times as much as all the other jurors together or something
30:32i mean it's not that much but it's a lot well and again that goes
30:36to i think that she has broken a lot of the collegial norms i think
30:40a lot of people are fed up with her on the court and i think
30:44even leftists are of the opinion like elena kagan is where they just kind of
30:49roll their eyes and say this is a poor choice and she's going to be
30:52there buck for 30 more years a very very long time well but also it's
30:56a reminder biden we got sold on biden to the degree that we were actually
31:02sold on him just let's let's let's just take let's move past that for a
31:05second you know the country was sold on biden so to speak as the uniter
31:09clay and as he's not a radical well what better what better example can you
31:13have of the actual radicalism and practice of the biden administration which we could sit
31:20here and we did for years talk about it but we know whether it's the
31:23covet stuff or the spending or the trans policies or the wide open border joe
31:29biden was the trojan horse for far left obamaist policy if you will and there's
31:36no better example of him being a far left figurehead than katanji brown jackson that's
31:42the supreme that's the moderate supreme court justice that we get from a biden administration
31:46also remember that he picked kamala harris after saying he would pick a woman as
31:54his running mate and eliminating all men from consideration and then he took it a
31:58step further by saying i will only pick a black woman um and uh and
32:04the result is i think we have ended up with the least qualified most political
32:09supreme court justice in any of our lives and i was just looking up to
32:12see how old she is um and unfortunately buck we're gonna probably have her if
32:18uh if age is any uh expectation for another 30 years i would also point
32:24this out as we go to break here supreme court requires a majority senate approval
32:30there is a possibility out there that republicans could lose the supreme could lose the
32:36senate in november and that trump basically would not be able to get anybody appointed
32:41just like with ruth uh bader Ginsburg, who thought, hey, I'm going to live forever
32:46and left behind the opportunity to have Obama be able to appoint her replacement.
32:52Look at this situation right now.
32:54We've got Clarence Thomas around 75.
32:57We've got Alito around 74, if I'm not mistaken.
33:01It may be five or six years until Republicans have what they have now, which
33:07is control of the Senate and the presidency to be able to control who gets
33:11on the Supreme Court. Everybody who gets into their 70s seems to think that they're
33:15going to live forever and be healthy forever.
33:17The data often reflects that's not true at all.
33:21All right. Last night, I was at an event in West Palm Beach for our
33:24incredible sponsor that we're honestly honored to be affiliated with and to help in every
33:30way that we can, Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
33:32I heard the stories of families that have been helped, Gold Star families, heard from
33:38people involved with Tunnel to Towers day in and day out and how meaningful the
33:41work is to them. And Clay has gone and been a part of their events.
33:45My wife has taken part in their events.
33:47We just love everything Tunnel to Towers stands for.
33:50This nonprofit, you know them well, they help our military families and families of first
33:54responders in their time of need.
33:56They live by the motto, never forget.
33:58That means to never forget the sacrifice our first responders made on 9 -11.
34:02And this May through September, the Foundation's Steel Across America Tour is transporting a powerful
34:07symbol of reverence and resilience to communities across the country, an authentic steel beam from
34:12the World Trade Center. In honor of 343 members of the New York City Fire
34:16Department who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9 -11, the Foundation is delivering 343 mortgage
34:21-free homes to heroes and their families while continuing their efforts to eradicate veteran homelessness.
34:26The 9 -11 Institute's educational curriculum is reaching classrooms nationwide while firsthand accounts are being
34:32shared through the 9 -11 Speakers Bureau and the Foundation's mobile exhibit is traveling to
34:36communities across America, informing generations.

34:49Patriots, radio hosts, a couple of regular guys, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.
34:56Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
35:00All right, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
35:04We have a lot that we're going to be getting into with you today.
35:08We're going to update you also on the TSA and DHS funding situation because it
35:15feels like that's getting better, but it hasn't come to a full resolution yet.
35:18We'll talk to Texas Representative Chip Roy about that.
35:22It's, you know, Clay, we get to this point where I think it just becomes
35:25very, oh, wait, actually, I had something I want to throw in the mix.
35:29I'll hold that for a second.
35:31Democrats just made a lot of people ruin their vacations and ruin their day, hundreds
35:36of thousands of people for no reason, except that they're bitter that they're not in
35:40power. Just, I hope everyone remembers that because they're getting nothing out of this other
35:43than the bitterness that they spread everywhere because that's what Democrats do.
35:47But some, a bit of good news.
35:49I'm here in West Palm.
35:50I meant to mention this the first hour.
35:51Do you know what Ron DeSantis just signed?
35:54I did. I saw this, but tell the people it's a positive aviation story.
35:59Palm Beach International Airport is being officially renamed Donald J.
36:06Trump International Airport, which is just fantastic.
36:11I got to say, I love it.
36:12It should be named. I mean, what other airport would be named?
36:15This should be the airport name for him.
36:16And I'm also going to say this.
36:19Miami, your airport compared to Palm Beach Airport.
36:22Palm Beach International, Clay, is like private aviation compared to Miami.
36:26Miami Airport is like a bad day in a third world airport every day.
36:31It stinks. Palm Beach International, very civilized.
36:34That's why I also fly into Fort Lauderdale.
36:36It's a little bit of a difficult travel schedule sometime, but it's way easier to
36:39get in and out of.
36:40Great guests, Isabel Brown, Chip Roy, Jared Isaacman of NASA still to come.
36:44Keep hanging with us. Next couple of hours, rolling through.
36:47This is an iHeart Podcast.
36:50Guaranteed human.
