0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome back in.
0:06Hour number two, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
0:09Reminder, as we have been talking about, today is primary day in the great state
0:15of Texas, also in Arkansas and in North Carolina, the very first primaries for the
0:222026 election cycle. Why does that matter?
0:25Well, all of you should go vote and make sure that you get the best
0:29possible nominees across every state, but certainly in those three states in particular where the
0:35voting is going on right now.
0:37We will have results to talk about tomorrow.
0:40You just heard from Congressman Wesley Hunt, one of the three primary contenders running alongside
0:46of Ken Paxton and John Cornyn for the Republican nomination in the state of Texas.
0:52On the Democrat side, Jasmine Crockett, James Tallarico, one of those likely to win.
0:57We may have runoffs in May.
0:59If nobody gets to 50%, we are going to continue to track that story during
1:04the course of the day.
1:06Obviously, Iran and the fallout of what is going on there remains paramount in terms
1:12of the overall interest and attention.
1:15We should mention, by the way, that Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma also going
1:19to join us in the third hour, and maybe our friend Congressman Chip Roy, who
1:24is running for the Attorney General of Texas, he may give us a buzz before
1:29he's in the air right now.
1:31But before the show ends, he wanted to reach out and make his case for
1:36AG, just FYI. But, Buck, I wanted to play this.
1:40This was Trey Yankst, who is doing, let me just say, I don't know how
1:45much you're watching Fox News, but the amount of incredible coverage that Trey Yankst is
1:52giving us from inside of Israel, where you can see during his broadcast, legitimately, the
1:58bombs that are coming in.
2:00Tel Aviv is on a watch right now, but you'll see him reacting to as
2:07the bombs are hitting, going in and out of the bomb shelter, as many people
2:10all throughout Israel are doing.
2:12He reported a little bit earlier today, right before we came on air, that the
2:18Iranian Supreme Council was counting votes to elect a new leader when Israel struck the
2:25meeting location. Here is that report, Cut 29.
2:28I'm told by a senior Israeli official that the Israelis just struck the Supreme Council
2:35gathering, where the Iranians were meeting to choose a new Supreme Leader.
2:39This is a significant development and, again, speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war.
2:45They just targeted the meeting in Tehran, where what's left of the leadership was gathering
2:52to choose a new Supreme Leader.
2:54I don't know about you, Buck, but if I were in Iran right now and
2:58I was told to go to a meeting that involved high -level Iranian officials, I
3:05think I might have a stomachache or I might say, hey, maybe we could do
3:08this by phone. I can't believe that they are still showing up in person and
3:13allowing these kind of attacks to happen.
3:16I mean, it feels suicidal in nature.
3:18I mean, you're a CIA guy, but I don't think you have to be a
3:20CIA guy at this point in time in Iran to say, hey, maybe big gatherings
3:24not necessarily something we should be doing.
3:27Well, they're in a tough spot because if you can't gather and you can't decide
3:33who's in charge, how can you be in charge?
3:36And this is increasingly going to be the problem that the Mullah -ocracy faces over
3:42there. Who is really calling the shots?
3:45If you can't secure your own airspace enough to prevent the enemy, in this case
3:50us and Israel, from blowing up essentially anyone, anywhere they want at any time, are
3:57you, you know, it reminds me of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises or whatever
4:03when he goes, do you feel in charge?
4:08And, you know, that's a chilling moment if you remember what happens there.
4:12And this gives you power over me.
4:16That is pretty much where the Iranian leadership is right now.
4:20Do they feel in charge?
4:21Because they're not. I am hopeful that there is some burgeoning resistance movement within Iran
4:32that is going to come together.
4:35But this stuff is very hard, Clay.
4:37I mean, you look at what happened with Assad in Syria.
4:39There were various uprisings against the Assad regime before the huge Syrian civil war in
4:46which hundreds of thousands of people died starting around 2012.
4:51And the thing about despotic, tyrannical police state regimes is they're really good at being
4:59police state despotisms that stay in power.
5:02That's their primary focus. And they have a lot of contingency plans in place.
5:06And the whole system that they have is first and foremost concerned with that, not
5:12with a constitution or legitimacy or the welfare of the people or any such thing.
5:17It's how do we stay in charge?
5:19So when that is your maniacal focus, it takes a lot.
5:24to knock a regime off that pedestal and to finally allow for there to be
5:30a different paradigm of leadership.
5:34But I'm hopeful. That much I can say.
5:37But we own their skies.
5:39I mean, all that stuff, all the, oh, they're going to have Russian surface -to
5:42-air missile technology, and, oh, they're going to have, no, no, actually, we own their
5:46sky. We can blow up, Trump can blow up anyone, anywhere he wants to in
5:50Iran right now, which you would think also gives you a lot of leverage.
5:54I think it seems quite clear to me that we are just going to keep
5:59killing Iranian leaders until we reach a point that somebody is workable.
6:09And I'm going to be honest with you, Buck.
6:11I kind of feel like whoever ends up in charge of Iran may be a
6:16Mossad guy, meaning he has been working with Mossad for some time.
6:21That's a little extreme, Clay.
6:23All of a sudden, the next Ayatollah's name is Shlomo.
6:27No, no, no. I don't mean that he is Jewish or from Israel.
6:31I mean that he has been working with Israel behind the scenes providing information.
6:36Have you seen all the stuff, by the way?
6:38Israel reportedly hacked the cameras, the traffic lights.
6:44Traffic cameras, yeah. So that they were aware constantly of where everybody was traveling in
6:50Iran. I mean, the degree of knowledge that they had inside of Iran is incredible.
6:55My point on this is I actually think we probably have a list of guys
7:02that we think we could work with in Iran.
7:04And I don't know how far down the list they are, but I feel like
7:10at some point Israel is going to have, and by extension the United States is
7:15going to have a good relationship with one of these guys.
7:18And we're basically looking for our version of Delcy Rodriguez, who is the Venezuelan leader
7:25that is in charge after Maduro left, that is going to be amenable to working
7:31for American interest, if that makes sense.
7:35And so we'll see exactly how this shakes out, but I don't see any way,
7:42when we have air superiority like this, to your point, I don't see any way
7:47that Iran is going to be capable of picking a leader who has any sort
7:52of staying power, given our ability with the United States and Israel to know everything
7:57that's going on in their country and be wiping people out.
8:00Every time they announce somebody new, it's like, what was the job Al -Qaeda number
8:04two? Like that basically, as soon as you got named the number two position of
8:10Al -Qaeda, you got almost wiped out.
8:12Almost to the point where the press releases announcing the new guys in charge have
8:18barely gone out before they're already dead.
8:21That is the reality of what's going on.
8:25I also think, Clay, that there's something that Trump didn't, he hasn't necessarily given us
8:30the full details on this, and maybe he won't because of concerns over sources and
8:35methods and classified information, but it seems like something sparked this with him, something recent.
8:44And maybe it was the reports about the negotiating position of the Iranians recently dealing
8:50with Witkoff, where they essentially said, we got enough to get a whole bunch of
8:55nukes, and that's now the new reality, deal with it.
8:59You know, we're not changing this.
9:01But maybe there was something else.
9:02This is cut 30. Here Trump is saying that if we didn't do something, we
9:07were heading toward a nuclear war, a nuclear exchange.
9:10Play 30. A big, big factor in this world, and future factors, what we're doing
9:15right now with Iran. And if we don't stop them, or if we didn't stop
9:21them, or if we didn't start, they've been decimated.
9:24But if we didn't do what we're doing right now, you would have had a
9:27nuclear war, and they would have taken out many countries.
9:30Because you know what? They're sick people.
9:32They're mentally ill sick people.
9:34They're angry. They're crazy. They're sick.
9:39We have Whitcoff's cut, actually, where he talks about this.
9:41I think we should play this for everybody.
9:42This is cut seven, where Steve Whitcoff, as part of his negotiations with the Iranians,
9:47listen to what he learned from the Iranian side of the table.
9:50Play seven. In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us directly, with
9:57no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60%, and they're aware that that could
10:06make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance.
10:12So that's, that's, they were, they were proud of it.
10:15They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to
10:19a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.
10:23Seems like they told them, we're cheating and you can't stop us.
10:27And Trump was like, but I can.
10:32I think, Buck, that one way to describe this might be by saying, they think
10:37darkness is their ally, but in reality, they've merely adopted the darkness.
10:43And we, in fact, were born in it, molded by it.
10:47One of the all -time great lines that I've just altered a bit for people
10:50out there. But it. It does come back to what I think is the ultimate
10:56question now. I think we are accelerating rapidly towards a resolution under which there is
11:05a new leader of Iran that the United States and Israel approve of.
11:10The question that will then exist is how stable is that new leader, right?
11:17How much power does he have internally?
11:19And the second part of that, I think, will be how reliable is that relationship
11:24that the United States has with whoever that leader is?
11:28And I think this is significant.
11:29The reason they elevated Delce Rodriguez was they didn't think the military was willing to
11:34turn entirely on the Maduro regime.
11:38And so they weren't going to be able to just pluck the Maria Menudo.
11:43It's the wrong word, but whatever the woman who was theoretically the democratically elected leader,
11:50the military was going to oppose her.
11:52And so they made a choice.
11:54This is not the most ideal option, but it is the best option given the
11:58circumstances. Who is the best option given the circumstances right now inside of Iran?
12:06And how many people do we have to kill?
12:08Frankly, there's a report that there were 88 people that were involved in that assembly
12:15of experts. That was basically the conclave of former experts that we just wiped out.
12:22Who even makes the decision now?
12:24If we've killed 49 high -ranking people before this, if we just hit an assembly
12:29of experts of 88, you've got to figure that dozens of those people are dead.
12:33If you look at that footage of that building, it doesn't seem very likely that
12:37very many people survived. Certainly very few people, if any, would have survived and not
12:42been severely injured. So who actually has authority in Iran and who has the authority
12:49such that the military, particularly the high -ranking aspects of the military, would listen to
12:56them? I'm sure that's a major calculation going on, which is why I come back
13:00to again. It feels to me like Israel knows and the United States knows who
13:05they can work with. When will we get to the positions where those people we
13:11could work with are elevated?
13:14And I don't think it's going to take that long, honestly.
13:18But, I mean, if we have complete air superiority and if we are continuing to
13:22wipe out all their leadership and every single hour they have less ability to be
13:28able to send their drones or their missiles to hit other places, what does Iran
13:34have left? I just don't see how this could go on that long given what's
13:40already happened just since Saturday.
13:41That's my take. And, look, sometimes when you start off with groups or individuals that
13:50you're going to work with, it doesn't end up going your way anyway.
13:54So maybe having it come together.
13:56I'm just saying, you look at Afghanistan.
13:58We had the Northern Alliance.
13:59We had, although they recognized, the key leader in the Northern Alliance was Ahmad Shah
14:07Massoud, and they killed Massoud, pretending to be journalists.
14:10Al -Qaeda killed Massoud right before 9 -11.
14:12I think maybe even a day or two before 9 -11 because they were concerned
14:16that he would be a threat to them afterwards.
14:20What would be our first call?
14:21Go to Massoud, right? We would want to work with him in the Northern Alliance,
14:24so they killed him. But then we did work with the Northern Alliance pretty effectively,
14:28and our special forces and CIA worked very well in the weeks after the 9
14:35-11 attack. But we didn't win in Afghanistan, so there's no guarantees with any of
14:39this. No doubt. And we'll continue to break all this down for you.
14:46But in the meantime, I want to tell you all about our friends at Legacy
14:49Box. If you're trying to preserve your family's memories, and you know that maybe your
14:56family's memories right now, they're stored in an attic, or they're stored in a garage,
15:00or they're with an elderly family member, and you're not sure what might happen if
15:06something happened to that elderly family member.

15:32I've seen the work these guys do.
15:34They built a fantastic company based right here in my home state of Tennessee.
15:38I walked through their factory in Chattanooga.
15:41I saw underway the process of preserving all the family memories out there, the photos,
15:46the film reels, the VHS tapes.
15:48In fact, they probably have in Legacy Box's factory right now the largest collection of
15:55VCRs. If you remember back in the day in the 80s and the 90s, I
15:59walked through this place. I couldn't believe it was like going into a time warp
16:02and seeing all those old VCRs.
16:04They are using all that because your VHS tapes disintegrate.
16:08They're not made to last for a long time.

16:42Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
16:44We have some talkbacks. Talkback E, let's hit that one.
16:48Good afternoon, gentlemen. This is Tim from Central Florida.
16:52I'm 50 and my co -worker is 23.
16:55And today I was talking to him about the fact that so many of these
16:59military actions have been left open -ended.
17:03As Americans, I don't even know the last time we had a military action that
17:08was finished appropriately. Do you think Trump's going to do it?
17:11Do you think he's going to be the first to finish what he starts?
17:16This is a good question.
17:17And my wife asked this question, too, the other day.
17:20What's the last country that the United States got involved with that is in better
17:25shape than if we had never gotten involved with them at all?
17:29Germany and Japan and Korea.
17:31That's my answer. But that goes all the way back to World War II.
17:34The Marshall Plan and everything that came out of that in Eastern and Western Europe.
17:41Saving South Korea from the atrocity of the Kim regime and Chinese communism and North
17:48Korea and all that. That was a solid move, too.
17:51People never think about the Korean War.
17:52So, Vietnam to basically Iraq, we failed.
17:57But we have a decent history pre...
17:59No. Dude, Grenada's way better.
18:01They got a lovely medical school there now.
18:04Grenada. We saved them. Maybe Grenada's the answer.
18:07Grenada. All right. I've done pretty much nothing but media since the book launch.
18:12Manufacturing Delusion, my friends. I'm doing the full court press because, well, Manufacturing Delusion couldn't
18:18be more relevant than it is right now.
18:20And I've needed a lot of energy for this for all the hours I'm putting
18:23in. I need to get fired up.
18:24And I get that from my Chalk supplements.

18:59Welcome back in, Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
19:02I want to help some of you to the extent, was it Monday we got
19:07calls from some of our Talkback listeners who were stuck in Israel?
19:11I know some of you listen from all around the world and you have friends
19:15and family that might have been in the Middle East.
19:17Let me hit you with this.
19:19The State Department is actively getting military aircraft and charter flights for American citizens who
19:28need to get out of the Middle East.
19:30I know, for instance, I had some friends that had a daughter who was studying
19:35in the Middle East, and she and her classmates were stuck there.
19:40Let me give you this, and if you have friends and family, let me give
19:42you this contact, because Dylan Johnson at the State Department just shared this.
19:49There are nearly 3 ,000 Americans right now that they know of in the Middle
19:53East who are trying to get out of there as the war is going on.
19:56So if you've got pens, paper, let me help you with this.
19:59American citizens should call 202 -501 -4444 for assistance with departure options.
20:10They are getting, again, charter flights, jets.
20:13They are getting people out.
20:15So if you have friends or family and you've been worried about them, maybe they
20:19don't have great cell phone reception, the phone number is 202 -501 -4444.
20:26That is what they should call.
20:27Obviously, the country code is 1.
20:30So 1 -202 -501 -4444 if you are trying to get your friends or family
20:38out of the Middle East.
20:39So we had several of you that have reached out to us that were stuck
20:43over there, and hopefully you will be able to get some help there.
20:49Buck, you can well imagine when I'm just scrolling through to check news, I did
20:54not expect for one of the most devastating haymakers to be thrown by your wife
20:58in response to your assault on her Costco habit.
21:04If you need a little bit of a laugh, do you want to share what
21:11your request for assistance was and then what your lovely wife's response was?
21:16I may have been carting, and I do mean carting like I was a longshoreman
21:23or something, like I was a stevedore.
21:28I was moving large boxes even late last night from the back of my vehicle,
21:34all courtesy of the great deals at Costco.
21:38My favorite place to shop.
21:41I was just wondering aloud.
21:42I said, is there some kind of 12 -step program for wives who have a
21:47Costco? addiction i was just curious in case someone might need that help someone might
21:52need that information and then i see making all kinds of assumptions my own beautiful
21:58wife suggesting that it is my addiction to pellegrino in fact large glass bottles cases
22:08of pellegrino that is the cause of these costco runs and i just want to
22:13say scurrilous scurrilous accusation yes i drink a lot of pellegrino but i have nothing
22:22more to say on the matter i i gotta say this when did it become
22:27standard that you don't just get normal water because of people like you with all
22:32the sparkling waters and everything else i don't remember many years like two years ago
22:39or something all of a sudden you get asked now when you're at restaurants and
22:44it's not just me going to fancier restaurants because this happens at not very fancy
22:48places where they now come and instead of just giving you standard water they now
22:54give you all sorts of pellegrino and everything else has there been a surge in
22:59pellegrino drinking in general do you think yes this is my imagination no i think
23:04that's real actually yeah i know i think you were assuming you were being you
23:09were being a a little supercilious but i think that what's really gone on is
23:13that that the the uh drinking habits of especially younger people have changed pretty dramatically
23:21people are drinking a lot less alcohol and for a lot of restaurants that's really
23:26where the margin is that's really where they make their money think they're trying to
23:29make their money now on upgrading off of regular water because that's the uh that's
23:35an interesting angle i will tell you i actually feel a little guilty if i
23:40don't at least get uh like i was at a dinner for um six or
23:45seven people on sunday we must have gone through i'm just going to admit this
23:50on the radio i guess eight bottles maybe 10 bottles of pellegrino and i think
23:55they charge us you know eight or ten dollars a bottle so you know you're
24:00adding let's say you're adding 80 100 bucks onto the bill for water yeah now
24:04i understand that for a lot of people you'd be saying well that's egregious that's
24:07our yeah but none of us are drinking i was with a table full of
24:11adults none of whom were drinking booze and so the restaurant really wants you there's
24:17a reason why there are wine glasses on the table when you sit down there
24:20are reasons why they always hand you a wine list when you sit down oh
24:23yeah you know i mean if you're clay you just order your natty light and
24:28they have to kind of scurry around back to be like what is this he
24:32drinks natural light beer like what is that um but for a lot of people
24:37clay they go to the wine list and that is how these places make their
24:41money so i i think that now water i just i don't want them pushing
24:45booze on me if i don't want it so i'm happy to be up charge
24:48for water and i think i'm not the only one this is happening more and
24:52more i just i it is something i think you're right i think it is
24:56that they're not consuming as much alcohol profit margins in restaurants are slim and so
25:01they're now up charging basically water and a lot of people are doing it i
25:06thought about you by the way i was uh at um at church on sunday
25:11and they did the you know the they brought around the uh the wine and
25:16the and the bread and on the on the screen it said it's gluten free
25:23i i've never seen this before if you were doing the lord's supper if you
25:28were taking it it said on the big screen there hey this is gluten free
25:32now i was thinking you must have a really bad gluten allergy if you know
25:36a shot of grape juice and a uh tiny pinprick of bread is going to
25:41break your world uh but i uh i did notice that here's another bit of
25:45news people want something positive i bought a tesla buck partly because i think elon
25:51musk had been unfairly attacked and so i've got teenage boys and i want a
25:57super safe car and we went and i did the the they let you just
26:03kind of drive around and you can see the uh the autonomous driving of a
26:09tesla vehicle you can just legitimately go in they don't even have somebody sit with
26:13you they let you go out and you can just ride around you pick a
26:16place you type it in i'm in the future now buck this morning i took
26:21my 15 year old to school i typed in his school address it's super early
26:26in the morning because he's lifting with the lacrosse team football team they have to
26:30be there early in the morning and uh and so i just typed it in
26:34i let the car drive us to and from his school to drop him off
26:39i'm i'm gonna make a prediction here team you can flag it i think the
26:44days of people driving cars are rapidly vanishing i think that if you have a
26:52baby right now like my assistant katie has a baby girl that she brings to
26:57the house most days i think her baby girl will not drive cars like i
27:03i think if you have a one two -year -old you may still teach them
27:06how to drive a car but it's going to become like riding a horse i
27:10think autonomous vehicles are going to be everywhere certainly within a generation it's the it's
27:14the biggest biggest change in terms of day -to -day that i have seen that
27:18i'm convinced is going to happen i gotta tell you what's going to happen in
27:22my mind the shift that is coming here is that it will go from oh
27:27i don't know i'm nervous about the autonomous driving to as more and more people
27:31do it and the data sets get larger and larger it will be considered dangerous
27:37dangerous to self -drive at some point in the future or i should say more
27:42dangerous i'm not saying it's so dangerous people don't do it but but the but
27:46the conventional wisdom will be well auto drive is way safer than you know and
27:52really you should only be self -driving if you're off -roading or you're doing it
27:56for some form of sport or fun or you're tracking your car uh but just
28:00getting around on the highway because it's it's going to become a function of of
28:05zeros and ones there's going to be programs there's going to be data and the
28:10data is going to show you are way safer um because you know what a
28:15self -driving car doesn't do it doesn't look down at its cell phone to check
28:19out the latest sports scores guilty yeah i mean i i agree with you 100
28:25i think it's going to be transformative it's going to drive down insurance costs i
28:29think one way it's going to move towards autonomous is if you the data is
28:33going to reflect that if you are driving yourself your likelihood of being in an
28:39accident is much higher um i also think this is something that's very positive i
28:44think if you're elderly and you are listening to us right now and maybe you're
28:49nervous about driving after dark maybe you just get nervous because you're going to the
28:54grocery store and things like that and you you are 80 plus let's say i
28:59think it's going to allow people to continue to live in their homes for longer
29:03because you're going to get in your car you're going to program it in i
29:07also think buck drunk driving i i think drunk driving is basically going to vanish
29:12because you can either obviously ubers are going to exist and everything else in cabs
29:17and those are good choices but i think we're going to get to a point
29:20where you can get in your car and it will just take you home and
29:24you are not operating it at all you know what elon's vision is right that
29:28your car that you have now is going to be a car that effectively replaces
29:36ubers as in you're not using it that car can make you money and go
29:42around and take other people wherever they need to go and then when you need
29:47the car it comes back to you i think think about this i mean the
29:50increases in productivity they're going to happen as a result of this uh it's going
29:55to be remarkable um and i say this you got two guys here who i
30:00know a lot of you try to take our man cards away on this we
30:02see we're honest with you we don't pretend we're not like oh i love i
30:06like to take a sprocket out of the carburetor and get all the grease on
30:11my hands i don't know anything all right i don't know anything i get into
30:13a car if i push that if i push that pedal and it doesn't go
30:17vroom vroom and start going i have no idea what is happening i have zero
30:20i know nothing about cars i want to be you know i want to be
30:24in like a big comfy seat that's giving me like an like a uh you
30:28know a back rub basically while i can fall asleep and be taken anywhere i
30:32have no interest in sitting there fighting through traffic doing all this stuff i hate
30:37all that clay's also clay's with me on this one so i would rather work
30:40here's the other thing buck the charging i thought it was gonna be complicated my
30:46charger plugs into the wall in our garage like a cell phone charger and by
30:52the way i'm not getting paid anything one of the most ridiculous things about five
30:56years of this show that buck and i have done together am i correct buck
30:59i don't think we've ever made a dollar in in car advertisements not that i'm
31:03legitimately in five years we haven't been paid a single dollar to tell you hey
31:08go buy this car so i'm not getting paid anything at all just because i
31:12inevitably people are gonna be like how much is elon paying you nothing it's amazing
31:15i feel like i'm in the future uh i'm just not an e -vehicle guy
31:20but my car is charging in my garage right now it's basically plugged in like
31:24it's a cell phone and the self -driving vehicle aspect of this the car by
31:30the way let me say this too cars are super expensive you can get i'll
31:35tell you exactly what i paid i got uh a model three and i got
31:39a couple of different upgrades on it it was fifty thousand dollars okay um and
31:45they have one percent interest for seven years so i i think i put down
31:52five grand six grand for a brand new car that is as nice of a
31:57car as is out there very affordable um and i can pay it off over
32:02seven years for basically no interest so this is not like some people are going
32:06to say oh you've got tons of money this is a rich person thing this
32:10is actually one of the most affordable cars on the market so this is also
32:14though where we have to have clay speak honestly with all of you because you
32:18can pick your autonomous driving style if you will and for example i would like
32:24gentle driving miss daisy style mode yes they call it swath i i i i
32:29want nice i want no herky jerky i want to get there safely clay likes
32:37mad max mode which is surprising to no person who has ever been in a
32:41vehicle with clay travis It is the fastest mode that they offer, Mad Max.
32:46They actually have a sloth, and I was sitting there doing the self -drive, and
32:50I was like, what are we doing?
32:51Go, go, go. So I've already gone up to the Mad Max speed on the
32:56self -drive. Not going to let the kids get there, but for me, it's pretty
33:00incredible. So I don't know how many of you have Teslas.
33:02I never really had spent that much time on it, but I'm all in on
33:06autonomous vehicles. I've taken the Waymos.
33:08I've done all this. Because I'm telling you, your grandkids' lives, they're going to look
33:13at you when you talk about driving a car like you might have back in
33:17the day when suddenly grandma and grandpa gave up the horse and they got the
33:21new car. New Model T was out on the road, and somebody was saying, I
33:26don't know, what's this horseless carriage?
33:28This is ridiculous. Well, I'm telling you, the fact that we drove cars is going
33:32to seem crazy to your grandkids.

34:59Let's get some calls in here.
35:01Lisa in New Jersey wants to talk Costco.
35:04What's going on, Lisa? Hi, Clay and Buck.
35:07How are you? We're great, Lisa.
35:09How are you? I heard you talking about Costco.
35:13Buck was in the club getting his bubbly, right?
35:17It reminds me of that old song, You Can Find Me in the Club, Bottle
35:22Full of Bub, from the 90s.
35:25It's a great song. Oh, 50 Cent.
35:28But I have to confess something, Lisa.
35:31Carrie doesn't invite me to the club.
35:34She goes to Costco solo.
35:36It is her sanctuary. I've never been.
35:39I have never been invited to the club.
35:42I mean this weekend on social media.
35:46It's a couple, and they're getting out of their vehicle.
35:50They're in their 40s, and they're dressed like they were going to go to the
35:55nightclub. And then the caption is, This is what the club is today.
36:01Thank you for the call, Lisa.
36:03I love Costco. And I don't really shop anywhere.
36:06I don't know how to buy.
36:06I shop at Amazon, and I shop at Costco.
36:10Legitimately the only two places that I go on a regular basis.
36:13Have you ever gotten like a gallon -sized drum of Cheetos or something?
36:18Have you ever just? Of course I have.
36:20Did you see the bunny that I bought?
36:21I bought a 10 -pound chocolate bunny.
36:25Because my son was like, Oh, Dad, look at this huge 10 -pound chocolate bunny.
36:30We have to get this.
36:31And I said, Of course we do.
36:32So, yeah, I always end up with a lot of stuff.
36:34Yeah, you have to get the chocolate bunny.
36:38We've got more coming up here.
36:39Updates on the Iran war situation.
36:42Also, a big Supreme Court decision.
36:44Also, we've got Senator Mark Wayne Mullen with us right now.
36:49We'll talk to him. Coming up.
36:51This is an iHeart Podcast.
36:54Guaranteed Human.
