0:33T's and C's apply. Welcome in Monday edition Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
0:39We hope that all of you had fantastic Easter's with your family and friends and
0:46that you are ready to roll with us for what could be, could be a
0:52very consequential Monday edition of the program.
0:56President Trump scheduled to speak at around 1 o 'clock Eastern from the White House.
1:03I saw this morning, Buck, as I was getting ready, that the media started staking
1:09out their positions inside of the White House press briefing room starting basically at dawn.
1:16So, there is an expectation that a lot of news is going to come out
1:22in a little over an hour, and that comes on the heels of a lot
1:27of news that happened over the weekend.
1:29First, let's start with this.
1:31We rescued both of the pilots, both of the individuals that were forced to eject
1:36from the F -15, between President Trump and others breaking the news right as Easter
1:43Sunday was beginning on the East Coast around midnight Eastern.
1:48The fact that we had rescued that individual coming out would still not have been
1:53named. Let's start with that, Buck, and then we'll kind of dive in.
1:57The president has already spoken some today at the Easter egg roll, which was taking
2:01place on the White House lawn.
2:03Lots of little kids there.
2:04You'll remember Joe Biden memorably had to be saved by someone dressed up as the
2:10Easter Bunny because they did not want him to be talking to any reporters.
2:16But, Buck, the degree to which the United States put it all on the line
2:24to get this second ejected pilot out, pretty incredible.
2:30Multiple different aircraft. Secretary of War Hegseth and President Trump spent Friday and Saturday basically
2:38constantly in the Oval Office trying to make sure that this individual was rescued.
2:45They had to, you could probably speak to some of this, they had to basically
2:49light on fire and blow up multiple different planes that were landed that they couldn't
2:56get to take off, that they didn't want to fall into military hands, but ultimately
3:00leave no man behind. We have managed to get these two individuals out of Iran.
3:07I think it speaks to Iran's inability to have any real security inside of its
3:12country that two pilots could eject into that country way behind enemy lines, and they
3:19weren't even able to get them.
3:21And thankfully they were not.
3:23They would have been used for propaganda.
3:24But what just a phenomenal success story.
3:28And let me hit you with this stat as we come in.
3:30More people, this is a downside, more people have been murdered in Chicago alone since
3:36this war started with Iran than Iran has killed American soldiers.
3:42We wish the casualty list was zero.
3:44Thirteen American soldiers have been killed in over a month's action relating to Iran.
3:50You are in more danger on the streets of Chicago than you are actually fighting
3:56a war against Iran. Clay, it was a remarkable operation to save, particularly the second
4:05pilot, in this case a weapons officer.
4:08The pilot was saved early on, and Trump sharing out, we got him in a
4:13Truth Social post. He wrote, this brave warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous
4:18mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies who were getting closer and closer
4:22by the hour. I mean, this is a situation where we were aware of where
4:28he was. The pilot, I'm sorry, I keep saying pilot, the weapons officer, airman, I
4:32guess you could say, he had to make his way up, I think, to 6
4:36,000 or 7 ,000 foot elevation up into the mountains.
4:40He had to break radio silence.
4:43Now, he could reach the good guys.
4:45He could reach American forces, but the Iranians could pick up that signal too.
4:50So it is very much like, I'm being just honest about this, very much like
4:55the Behind Any Lines movie from the 90s, which is actually a pretty good movie,
5:00but it was a similar situation.
5:01The second that he breaks radio silence, he's giving away his position to both sides
5:06of it. And the fact that we're able to do this without a single, yeah,
5:107 ,000 foot ridgeline, Clay, and the U .S.
5:14was having to deploy Reaper drones in real time to take out the convoys that
5:22were, because clearly the Iranians were going to be able to get to them first.
5:24on the ground so we had reapers in the air blowing up their um their
5:31you know hunter hunter teams if you will their their team trying to you know
5:35the opposite of search and rescue and they're trying to take this guy so they
5:37can you know capture torture and make him a uh propaganda piece so we were
5:43deploying all kinds of resources i think there was a temporary airstrip we formed inside
5:47of iran uh we had special operations deployed on the ground there was a there
5:53was um you know gunfire i mean it's just the whole thing i mean it
5:57is the stuff of a tom clancy novel or a jack car novel to update
6:03things our friend jack car uh this is very much out of the pages of
6:06a jack car novel and it's real life and it was an incredible operation we're
6:11just glad that the second service member was brought home safely um but there was
6:16there was a disinformation operation as a part of this play to make it seem
6:19like he was already uh on the way out somewhere else i mean this was
6:24an all hands on deck operation and it was pulled off flawlessly so that's that's
6:31something that everyone should just take a moment to understand i mean this could have
6:34gone wrong a hundred different ways and our guys home safe and sound with it
6:38with the uh the good guys tonight today and thank god for that no doubt
6:43uh then president trump puts out on easter a uh basic 48 hour notice letting
6:51the iranian government know uh and i'm you know paraphrasing here that he would rain
6:57down holy hell on them uh if they did not agree to open up the
7:03strait of hormuz so uh that is the deadline that is underway right now as
7:10we prepare for this press conference at one o 'clock let me give you a
7:15couple of the latest statements from the president again he's scheduled to speak in about
7:2045 minutes from now uh and we will be joining it also the head of
7:25the cftc uh i should mention michael selig is going to be with us he's
7:30going to be here in my uh studio in nashville um and for those of
7:35you out there that are interested in polymarket calci um all of that uh that
7:41is going to be i think uh super interesting as this has turned into a
7:45huge legal battle there uh but here is trump this morning at the easter egg
7:50roll i'm just going to run through several of these uh first uh trump says
7:54the iranian people will fight back when they know they're not going to be shot
7:57and as soon as they can get weapons he's still saying that there might be
8:01an uprising in iran although i'll give buck credit here buck has been skeptical that
8:06was going to occur for some time and it has so far not been that
8:10many signs that it is going to occur but here's cut one the iranian people
8:15will fight back as soon as they know they're not going to be shot and
8:19as soon as they can get weapons if they had weapons not many of them
8:23if they had weapons that would go the other way and you know what would
8:27happen iran would give up in two seconds because they wouldn't be able to take
8:31it but in iran they have absolutely no weaponry and they've been told point blank
8:35if you come out if you come out to the streets you will be killed
8:39as of this morning and we have this is pretty good information 45 000 protesters
8:45have been killed pretty bad 45 000 protesters killed in that initial uprising when was
8:53that january buck if i'm remembering correctly this was before we did anything and went
8:57in at all um here is uh cut to trump talking about who they're negotiating
9:03with uh he says he would just take the oil if he had his own
9:07uh choice cut to we are obliterating that country and i hate to do it
9:12but we're oblitering and they just don't want to say uncle they don't want to
9:15cry as the expression goes uncle but they will and if they don't they'll have
9:21no bridges they'll have no power plants they'll have no anything i want to i
9:26won't go further because there are other things that are worse than those two and
9:30we might have well the thing if i had my choice what would i like
9:35to do take the oil because it's there for the taking there's not a thing
9:40they can do about it unfortunately the american people would like to see us come
9:44home if it were up to me i'd take the oil i'd keep the oil
9:47i would make plenty of money and i'd also take care of the people of
9:51iran much better than they've been taken care of it's been horrible and then one
9:55yeah buck can i just there there was a tweet that we are a truth
9:59that we need to note that goes along with this also a little bit a
10:03little bit of dissonance there with what trump's talking about and the groovy tunes in
10:07the background it was it's a little threw me off a little bit you know
10:10jazzy jazzy sounds in the background put trump put this out i had to check
10:16to see this is one of those even at this stage is this real from
10:20trump and it is it's from his truth account tuesday will be power plant day
10:25and bridge day all wrapped up in one in iran there will be nothing like
10:30it open the f -bomb straight you crazy bastards or you'll be living in hell
10:38just watch praise be to allah president donald j trump that was out on his
10:45truth social account oh i saw it yes that is that is maybe the most
10:51you wow trump truth of all time i think that's the first time he's ever
10:56written an f -bomb out on social media as the president i think so easter
11:01morning easter morning and it's look i read it and i uh my immediate thought
11:10was uh this is all like letting iran know as publicly as possible we're gonna
11:19wipe you out and i saw it straight as a negotiation strategy also with a
11:25little bit of humor thrown in um so i saw it in many ways as
11:29very vintage trump um and so it didn't it didn't shock me uh but i
11:35know that it did shock some people i i think it's just evidence that trump
11:41feels like he's been restrained so far and he is letting it be known that
11:47there that he is ready to unleash holy hell you know that great scene uh
11:52at uh it reminds me of the opening of gladiator when uh maximus is sitting
11:58and and he says it's one of the all -time great lines at my signal
12:04unleash hell just such an absolute badass opening scene and line right like that moment
12:11we do in life echoes in eternity clay clear so many every gladiator line i
12:17love it so many great lines but at my signal unleash hell for those of
12:21you have not seen that clip or don't remember it that is what i immediately
12:26i'm not kidding that is what i immediately thought of and we talked about this
12:29whether you like it or not trump thinks cinematically he thinks in story big epic
12:38narrative arc story and to me that was trump as maximus letting it be known
12:44hey at my signal we will unleash hell and i will say bad guys they
12:52don't respect nuance bad guys are not like sitting around contemplating the philosophy of uh
13:01of of force and what is and what is not the rules of engagement and
13:06how they're going to be implied applied they respect raw unadulterated force can you kick
13:15their ass before they kick your ass that is the ultimate schoolyard bully test and
13:22trump is basically letting it be known i am going to unleash hell on you
13:28unless uh you make a decision uh to um to agree to these terms very
13:34quickly and then one more cut buck this is again just a little bit earlier
13:38and we're expecting tons of news here in about 40 minutes iran can't have a
13:42nuclear weapon uh they're lunatics this is one more statement from the white house as
13:47buck pointed out the melodic tunes in the background from a kid's easter egg roll
13:51as trump is sounding off cut three hopefully it could be over with quickly again
13:57there are lots of different alternatives we have many alternatives we could leave right now
14:01and it would take them 15 years to rebuild what they have we could leave
14:04right now but i want to finish it up iran ready cannot have a nuclear
14:09weapon they are lunatics and you can't put nuclear weapons in the hands of a
14:14lunatic that's the fundamental mission set as trump has laid it out so we'll continue
14:20to update you on the iran situation and uh the efforts that jd vance apparently
14:26is making to get some kind of a deal underway in advance of the tuesday
14:30deadline my sense is there won't be a deal they'll just be a pushing back
14:33the tuesday deadline but i could be wrong we we shall see it's very tough
14:38to know how that's going to play out but it's a lot easier to know
14:43what gold's going to do gold has been going up for a long time you
14:47can just find this this is public information it's easy what has gold done over
14:51the last 20 years gone up a whole heck of a lot what has gold
14:54done last couple of years also gone up a lot birch gold group is who
14:59i trust for gold because i believe in the gold thesis that gold will continue
15:03to grow in value as it has because of instability you know things like the
15:08iran war money printing unsustainable sovereign debt whole bunch of reasons why gold makes sense

16:26T's and C's apply. Welcome back into Clay and Buck talking a lot about Iran
16:29today. Hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend.
16:33And we'll get into some of that conversation later.
16:36But back to the war in Iran.
16:39Well, there's a lot of talk about Iran on the Easter Sunday, including from the
16:43president himself. But you had a rescue mission underway for a downed airman, two of
16:49them. One was picked up very quickly, but the other one, after they had been
16:54shot down, they were shot down.
16:56There was some discussion initially as to whether or not it was some kind of
16:59mechanical failure with the F -15 Eagle plane that they were in.
17:04But here is a Fox News correspondent, Mike Tobin, on the rescue situation, which, of
17:10course, as we know, was successful.
17:11But this was a this was a tight, you know, this was a really difficult,
17:19intense situation. Play 15. The picture that is being created out here is this remarkable,
17:24tense situation where you had elements of the besieged forces and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,
17:29as well as a mob that was forming up for the population, trying to get
17:33to the remote area where this weapons systems operator officer was hiding on this ridgeline
17:41with his beacon out, waiting to get some rescue.
17:45And how tense the situation was as you had the mob descending on him.
17:49So there was contact with people on the ground.
17:51There was contact with fighting forces.
17:53And they were able to gather this individual up through a long, tense period and
17:58get him out of that area.
18:01So we knew that they were trying to get to him, Clay.
18:04We had to take it.
18:05We had to take kinetic action and apparently many cases to take out Iranian forces
18:10on the ground. Gives everyone a sense of how tight the timeline was here.
18:15Also, the fact that this guy could be on the ground for roughly 48 hours
18:20and Iran couldn't get to him is a sign that they don't have very much
18:25operational control inside of their country either.
18:29And they were offering $50 ,000, I think, to anybody who could help to apprehend
18:35this guy, which is crazy money in Iran.
18:38And I'm so glad we got him out.
18:41And again, President Trump scheduled to speak in about 30 minutes.
18:45And we will see what the latest is.
18:48I bet the stock markets and the oil and gas markets are going to be
18:52moving substantially on almost everything he says.

19:56Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
19:59A couple more cuts coming from President Trump at the Easter egg roll.
20:03This is one of the maybe most significant here.
20:08Cut 34. Trump says there's been regime change and that the people that they are
20:14talking with now are reasonable.
20:17Again, 34. We've had total regime change.
20:20You know, the people there now are much more reasonable than the lunatics that you
20:24had in phase one and phase two.
20:26They were lunatics. The people that we're negotiating with now on behalf of Iran are
20:31much more reasonable. You can call it what you want, but I call it regime
20:36change. And I think most people are giving us credit for that.
20:39The first regime was taken out.
20:41The second regime was taken out.
20:43Now the third group of people that we're dealing with is not as radicalized.
20:47And we think they're actually much smarter.
20:49Okay. And then, Buck, you and I were talking about off air.
20:54So he feels comfortable with the people they're dealing with.
20:57We'll see if that means that there is going to be a agreement reach because
21:02President Trump says that Iran has had plenty of time and he's not going to
21:06push back the deadline. We'll see if that changes when he talks here in about
21:1020 minutes. But you and I were talking about this off air.
21:14Trump talking to kids is honestly a really great part of Trump.
21:20And there's a bunch of different cuts going viral of Trump talking to young kids
21:24at the Easter egg. He's like, Iran doesn't listen, but you probably know that better
21:28than anybody. You're in kindergarten.
21:29The smartest in all the kindergarten classes I've heard.
21:32The best. The most smart student.
21:34I mean, they used to have the show Kids Say the Darnedest Things, right?
21:39That was actually just adults interviewing kids to find out what they were going to
21:43say. Is that Bill Cosby back in the day?
21:44Our political life has turned into Trump Says the Darnedest Things.
21:47yes yes i think it was bill cosby back in the day who did a
21:51version of that show but here is trump asking kids do you know what the
21:55this is this is real do you know what the auto pin was joe biden
22:01couldn't sign his own name he's sitting with the kids and the easter eggs and
22:05this is trump talking about the auto pin listen you know biden would use the
22:10auto pin you have an auto fan follower he didn't sign he was incapable of
22:16signing his name so they'd follow him around with his pink machine an auto store
22:20an auto pen and he'd have the auto pen signed for him he'd take the
22:25paper hand it to his guys they'd sign it with an auto pen not too
22:29good right better to sign there it is uh president trump explaining the auto pin
22:37to the little kids at the easter uh egg roll on the white house lawn
22:41right now um this again 20 minutes he's going to be talking about what the
22:48situation is with iran but if you remember it wasn't very long ago that joe
22:52biden was trying to do the easter egg roll buck and remember one of his
22:57staffers was dressed up as an easter bunny and biden started answering questions and the
23:02staffer dressed up as the easter bunny came that viral video and got biden and
23:07basically took him away from being able to respond to questions from the media meanwhile
23:13trump is standing there just answering questions left and right and over the weekend i'm
23:17sure you saw this start to circulate a bunch of people on the left started
23:21saying oh we haven't seen trump for a few hours it was because he was
23:26in the oval office monitoring the rescue of the american troops but biden would vanish
23:32for days and we would have no idea what was really going on when trump
23:36doesn't answer questions for a few hours people on the left just start making up
23:41stories that's how available he is that if he doesn't have a public event almost
23:46every 10 hours or so they start to clamor where is he he's not healthy
23:51meanwhile they told us forever that you know biden was sharp as a tack sure
23:56enough they have changed nothing since all of their joe biden's just fine you don't
24:03notice there's no contrition about it at all there's really no soul searching or anything
24:08else there was that hilarious book by fake tapper over at cnn about how i
24:15read how they they covered it up which was amazing to me that you actually
24:19well then again i read kamala's book so yes uh by the way i'm going
24:23to tell you this right now kamala's numbers clay maybe you're going to be right
24:27you're probably going to be right i got a little ahead of my skis you
24:30know i i got a little a little too much uh but her numbers in
24:34california are awful awful most recent numbers for her to be uh to be the
24:40nominee democrats reckon that that that that is a that is a bet the farm
24:45situation if kamala runs again you could bet the farm that she will lose oh
24:51she will lose the overall election or lose the nomination lose the overall election for
24:56sure i i was thinking about this this morning uh as i was doing my
25:03prep i'm not i'm i'm afraid that kamala could win what yeah what fuck this
25:14is this is the craziest thing you said she was 240 000 votes away from
25:20winning in 2024 and if the economy were bad and if jd vance were trying
25:29to run on the trump turn without having i think it's fair to say the
25:34same ability to grab control of the narrative like trump uh has if people are
25:41still just angry my concern if you wanted me to project for 28 for how
25:45things go bad is that the average voter could still be angry over affordability in
25:522028 and just be i think you're going to have a double hate situation i
25:58think a lot of average americans are just super frustrated with democrats and republicans because
26:05they don't feel like their genuine issues on affordability are being addressed there's still this
26:11anger over biden allowing inflation to skyrocket to such a degree it takes years this
26:18is why i've asked people out there in the audience how long did it take
26:21for the anger over jimmy carter and inflation to dissipate i think the answer was
26:28for a lot of people it didn't really go away until like 85 86 and
26:34then uh i mean 84 reagan won the the obvious the the big win but
26:41it was uncertain who was going to win in 84 it takes several years to
26:45work through my hope is by 28 it's going to be um you know everybody's
26:50going to be happy but i think it was like 85 or 86 you you
26:53were barely born i was a little kid um and so people really kind of
26:57got over the massive inflation that jimmy carter had created and i still think there's
27:04a lot of anger over the 9 inflation that we saw and the fact that
27:09things cost more than people believe they should cost speaking about when when i was

29:04some friends and family here locally so uh that is where that's the big uh
29:09that's the big festivities that are going on uh tonight had a good weekend though
29:12um do you have a do you have a preferred style of birthday cake is
29:17there you know flavor wise or anything what what is the what is the icon
29:20iconic the pinnacle of birthday cake to me you just go i mean i don't
29:24think you need to overthink this i think you go white cake uh and i
29:28think you go like a nice butter cream topping so white on white not trying
29:32to be racist but white on white is the best of the cakes in my
29:36opinion i understand there's a chocolate cake community out there not a fan i i
29:42would just go straight white icing on white cake what about you you have a
29:46preferred no i have nothing interesting it's like i actually i actually co -sign what
29:50you're saying there i just there are some people out there who are ice cream
29:53cake people and i'm just like what what what what are we marxists like ice
29:58cream cake i'm not anti ice cream it's ice cream or it's cake you get
30:03you get ice cream with your cake you don't do ice cream cake i don't
30:07know what this is this is crazy talk the my boys are very much ice
30:11cream cake people so i might have raised marxist in that respect but i'm an
30:14old school i don't think we had ice cream cakes really when i was a
30:17kid so i never really got to uh got to experience them so i'm going
30:21white cake white icing um i will say and i don't want to alienate anybody
30:26you know the worst thing i could ever do is offend anyone the one thing
30:30that i will say um anyone who gets coconut on their birthday cake is just
30:36an absolute savage i mean they may be a terrorist i i'm very anti like
30:40coconut in general but have you ever been to a birthday party where somebody's like
30:44oh yeah we have a coconut shredded shredded coconut on their birthday cake you go
30:47straight deportation on that one really i think you should join the iranian solomani's family
30:53you should be in a detainer facility they picked her up in la it's good
30:56looking by the way they picked her up in la gonna say all of a
30:59sudden everyone it was pretty funny it was a very male moment online meeting the
31:05guys out there when everyone's like there's an iranian generals you know niece lives you're
31:10that's outrageous and then there's photos of her in a bikini and guys like i
31:14mean due process like yeah i do think she deserves her day in court i
31:19mean yeah a lot of a lot of huffing and puffing about the grand niece
31:23of like the ayatollah because she uh looks nice in a miniskirt here in america
31:28not over in iran i might add but yeah um and i i do have
31:32to say that you should join her uh if you are having birthday cake and
31:37i ever show up and you say hey here's my coconut shaved birthday cake i
31:42mean it's just terroristic moves um in my opinion but the coconut to me lemon
31:47cake is always the worst honestly i put lemon cake maybe beyond uh because the
31:53flavor of the coconut cake i think is superior but the little shredded coconut is
31:56gross but people go lemon birthday cake and i'm just like why why do you
32:01hate fun and things that taste good i don't know lemon cake to me is
32:05a very i'm okay carrot cake i'm a fan of i wouldn't do it for
32:08birthday cake though i feel like that's against the rules but carrot cake is delicious
32:11i i like german every every cake but the coconut stuff german sheet cake s
32:17-h -e -e -t german sheet cake is uh very good as well i've never
32:22even heard of this this is like no i i've never heard of german sheet
32:27cake i gotta be careful saying that dust dust dust i don't want to i
32:32don't want to get us an fcc violation on uh on my uh my birthday
32:36here um this is uh uh by the way we'll uh open up phone lines
32:42but very Very quickly here, because the president's scheduled to talk in a few minutes.
32:46And I do have Buck.
32:48We can play this on the backside.
32:50One of the astronauts was really pretty fantastic in his Easter message.
32:55And I want to make sure we play it before the president speaks.
32:59And certainly everything is going to be reacting to the president for the rest of
33:03the show. Although I would bet that he's going to be a little bit late.
33:08And the team, for those of you watching on video, trying to be healthy.
33:13And the team has sent me a fruit dish.
33:17Wow. We just talked about cake for 10 minutes.
33:19And our gift to you is fruit.
33:22I don't know about that team.
33:24New York team. I don't know.
33:26I think fruit's special here.
33:29So everybody's telling me I need to be in better shape.
33:32I will tell you, though, Buck, as we go to break, we've got a brand
33:35new advertiser. We've got a lot of new advertisers that are coming on.
33:37And this is pretty fantastic.
33:40Lots of people out there.
33:43Are going to be impressed, I think, as some of these different new advertisers start
33:50to come on the program.
33:52As we are adding three hours of video sooner rather than later.
33:55And one of them is Americans for Prosperity.
33:58They have a one small step initiative.
34:00No better time than now.
34:02America's 250th anniversary. They are helping to push back on the idea that America's founding
34:08principles don't matter anymore. Because the truth is, they absolutely do.
34:11In fact, they matter more now than ever.
34:14And we're talking about the six principles that built this country.
34:17Dignity, freedom, opportunity, the rule of law, limited government, and civic duty.
34:21That's what made America the greatest nation on earth.
34:24It's what will keep it that way.
34:25One small step is about turning belief into action.
34:28You, not politicians, not bureaucrats in Washington.
34:31You're the ones who keep this country going strong.

35:52T's and C's apply. Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
35:55Let's get into some talkbacks, team, because we have some great ones here.
35:59For example, this is Talkback B, Rob from West Palm Beach, Florida, listens on WJNO.
36:06Hit that one. Hey, Clay and Buck.
36:08This is Rob from West Palm.
36:09I listen to you guys 15 hours a week.
36:11I can do that because I'm a contractor, and I keep my earbuds in all
36:16day long. Although, I'm going to have to cut down on some of my listening.
36:21I caught myself saying fabulous this weekend.
36:25Sorry. I can't do it anymore.
36:29Is that your fault or my fault or both?
36:31I think it would be mine.
36:32I've been criticized for using the word fabulous, but this is a nice word.
36:35Like, try to be positive.
36:37Everything's fabulous. Speaking of being positive, Bob from Houston, Texas, on KTR, the great KTRH,
36:43where our friend Michael Berry is a dominant lead -in for us on KTRH.
36:49Thank you, sir. C, Bob from Houston.
36:52Play it. Clay, Buck, I love you guys, but if you really are terrified that
36:55Kamala's going to win, y 'all need to get out and smell the roses a
36:58little bit more. Come on.
37:00As much as of a lunatic she is and as insane as some people are
37:04in our country, no, she is not going to win squat.
37:07Please, get out and smell the roses more, please.
37:10Love from Texas on me.
37:11Yeah, I think she's a loser.
37:13That's all Clay. That's all Clay there.
37:14He's Team Kamala. I just think, again, if you had said, if you were listening
37:20to big left -wing media, if somebody had predicted that Trump was going to win
37:27by basically a landslide, win all seven toss -up states, win the popular vote like
37:33he did in 2024, if you had said that in 2022, a lot of people
37:39would have said you were crazy.
37:40And so I'm just, it's sometimes hard to completely eliminate some of these contenders because
37:48larger economic cycles often dictate the outcome of elections, not individual political talent, which Kamala
37:54is sorely lacking in. Good political talent, Buck.
37:58President Trump scheduled to speak at the top of the next hour.
38:02We are going to go and carry him live whenever he starts speaking.
38:06Again, it is scheduled to be at 1 o 'clock Eastern.
38:10He may be. started, although I would bet 20 minutes late.
38:13That's my prediction. We'll see, but it could be the president talking when we come
38:17back. This is Clay and Buck.
38:18Thanks for hanging with us.
