  • Discusses the lingering impact of inflation and voter frustration, comparing it to the Jimmy Carter era.

    • Emphasis: “Senate is the whole ball of wax in many ways because we need to continue to get judges.” — Clay Travis [40:45]
  • Texas is noticeably absent from spending targets, indicating GOP confidence there.

• Concerns over Ohio:

  • Buck signals Ohio races may be tighter than expected, partially due to candidate choices and lack of a real primary.

But we’re the same distance from you, and I’m trying to tell you, just trust me, you are special in all of this emptiness.

[Clay Travis]

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. A couple of more cuts coming from President Trump at the Easter Egg Roll. This is one of the maybe Most significant here. Cut 34. Trump says there's been regime change and that the people that they are talking with now are reasonable. Again, 34, we've had total regime change.

[Donald Trump]

You know, the people there now are much more reasonable than the lunatics that you had in phase one and phase two. They were lunatics. The people that we're negotiating with now in on behalf of Iran are much more reasonable. You can call it what you want, but I call it regime change. And I think most people are giving us credit for that. The first regime was taken out. The second regime was taken out. Now the third group of people that we're dealing with is not as radicalized and we think they're actually much smarter.

[Clay Travis]

Okay. And then, Buck, you and I were talking about off air. So he feels comfortable with the people they're dealing with. We'll see if that means that there is going to be a agreement reach because President Trump says that Iran has had plenty of time and he's not going to push back the deadline. We'll see if that changes when he talks here in about 20 minutes. But you and I were talking about this off air. Trump talking to kids is honestly a really great part of Trump. And there's a bunch of different cuts going viral of Trump talking to young kids at the Easter egg.

[Buck Sexton]

He's like, iran doesn't listen. But you probably know that better than anybody. You're in kindergarten, the smartest in all the kindergarten classes I've heard the best. The most smart student.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, they used to have the show Kids say the Darndest Things. Right? That was actually just adults interviewing kids to find out what they were going to. Is that Bill Cosby back in the

[Buck Sexton]

day, our political life has turned into Trump says the Darndest Things.

[Clay Travis]

But yes, I think it was Bill Cosby back in the day who did a version of that show. But here is Trump asking kids, do you know what the.

[Buck Sexton]

This is.

[Clay Travis]

This is real. Do you know what the auto pin was? Joe Biden couldn't sign his own name. He's sitting with the kids and the Easter eggs. And this is Trump talking about the Auto pin.

[Donald Trump]

Listen, Biden would use the auto pen. He'd have an auto pen following Joe Biden. He didn't sign. He was incapable of signing his name. So they'd follow him around with this big machine, you know what it was called? An auto pen. And he'd have the auto pen signed for him. He'd take the paper, hand it to his guys, they'd sign it with an auto pen, give it back. Not too big, right? Get it assigned.

[Clay Travis]

There it is. President Trump explaining the auto pin to the little kids at the Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn right now. This again, 20 minutes he's going to be talking about what the situation is with Iran. But if you remember, it wasn't very long ago that Joe Biden was trying to do the Easter Egg Roll buck. And remember, one of his staffers was dressed up as an Easter bunny. And Biden started answering questions and the staffer dressed up as the EAs came that viral video and got Biden and basically took him away from being able to respond to questions from the media. Meanwhile, Trump is standing there just answering questions left and right. And over the weekend, I'm sure you saw this start to circulate. A bunch of people on the left started saying, oh, we haven't seen Trump for a few hours. It was because he was in the Oval Office monitoring the rescue of the American troops. But Biden would vanish for days and we would have no idea what was really going on. When Trump doesn't answer questions for a few hours, people on the left just start making up stories. That's how available he is. That if he doesn't have a public event, almost every 10 hours or so, they start to clamor. Where is he? He's not healthy. Meanwhile, they told us forever that, you know, Biden was sharp as attack.

[Buck Sexton]

Sure enough, they have changed nothing since all of their. Joe Biden's just fine. You don't notice, there's no contrition about it at all. There's really no soul searching or anything else. There was that hilarious book by Fake Tapper over at CNN about how I read how they, they covered it up, which was amazing to me that you actually. Well, then again, I read Kamala's book. So, yes, by the way, I'm going to tell you this right now. Kamala's numbers, Clay, maybe you're going to be right. You're probably going to be right. I got a little ahead of my skis. You know, I got a little. A little too much. But her numbers in California Are awful, awful most recent numbers for her to be. To be the nominee. Democrats reckon that, that, that is a. That is a bet the farm situation. If Kamala runs again, you could bet the farm that she will lose.

[Clay Travis]

She will lose the overall election or lose the nomination.

[Buck Sexton]

Lose the overall election for sure.

[Clay Travis]

I was thinking about this this morning as I was doing my prep. I'm not. I'm afraid that Kamala could win. What? Yeah.

[Harry Entin]

What?

[Buck Sexton]

Buck, this is the craziest thing you've said.

[Clay Travis]

She was 240,000 votes away winning in 2024. And if the economy were bad and if JD Vance were trying to run on the Trump turn without having, I think it's fair to say, the same ability to grab control of the narrative like Trump has. If people are still just angry. My concern, if you wanted me to project for 28 for how things go bad, is that the average voter could still be angry over affordability in 2028 and just be. I think you're going to have a double hate situation. I think a lot of average Americans are just super frustrated with Democrats and Republicans because they don't feel like their genuine issues on affordability are being addressed. There's still this anger over Biden allowing inflation to skyrocket to such a degree that it takes years. This is why I've asked people out there in the audience, how long did it take for the anger over Jimmy Carter and inflation to dissipate? I think the answer was, for a lot of people, it didn't really go away until, like, 85, 86, and then, I mean, 84. Reagan won. The, the, the obvious, the, the big win. But it was uncertain who was going to win in 84. It takes several years to work through. My hope is by 28, it's going to be, you know, everybody's going to be happy. But I think it was like 85 or 86. You. You were barely born. I was a little kid. And so people really kind of got over the massive inflation that Jimmy Carter had created. And I still think there's a lot of anger over the 9% inflation that we saw and the fact that things cost more than people believe they should cost.

[Buck Sexton]

Speaking about when I was born, that's irrelevant right now, but when Clay was born. Very relevant. Happy birthday, Mr. Clay Travis. Now you can all write in, call in, give Clay your. I'm not wrong, am I?

[Clay Travis]

No, no, you're right. Today. Yeah.

[Buck Sexton]

Oh, God. I thought. I thought I was. I thought I jumped the gun or something. He's like, actually buckets Tomorrow I'm like, no, I have it on my calendar. It's today. Happy birthday to Clay. He is, he is 32 years old.

[Clay Travis]

Looking great years old today. Look like I'm 87, but I feel like I'm 47.

[Buck Sexton]

He's doing great, everybody. He's doing great. Mr. Clay Travis, 47 years young, fit as a fiddle. Could he throw up £315 like our secretary of war? Obviously, obviously, no problem. I've heard stories of a 60 yard spiral. I've heard stories of a clay Travis 400 yard drive off the, off the back tee. So is that what they call it? So yeah, this is the, this is the reality of our man Clay. He had a birthday today. Send him your birthday wishes, ladies. Ladies. Especially if you're over 60. He's still married. No grabbing, no touching, OK? Only nice birthday wishes. Don't get, don't get too salty, grandmas. The grandmas get a little salty when it comes to Clay.

[Clay Travis]

I mean look, they understand that, that I'm an incredibly lovable person. And so yes, I have, I have reached 47 and I'm gonna celebrate today. We're, first of all we're gonna play the president about 20 minutes. So we'll see, we'll see what kind of birthday stories we get there. And then tonight, Buck, I'm gonna have steak, I'm gonna have cake, and I'm gonna watch the NCAA championship game between Yukon and Michigan with Seattle, some, some friends and family here locally. So that is where. That's the big, that's the big festivities that are going on tonight. Had a good weekend though.

[Buck Sexton]

Do you have a, do you have a preferred style of birthday cake? Is there, you know, flavor wise or any. What, what is the, what is the icon iconic, the pinnacle of birthday cake?

[Clay Travis]

To me you just go, I mean, I don't think you need to overthink this. I think you go white cake and I think you go like a nice buttercream topping. So white on white. Not trying to be racist, but white on white is the best of the cakes in my opinion. I understand there's a chocolate cake community out there. Not a fan. I would just go straight white icing on white cake. What about you? You have a preferred.

[Buck Sexton]

No, I have nothing interesting to say. I actually, I actually co sign what you're saying there. I just, there are some people out there who are ice cream cake people and I'm just like what, what, what, what are we Marxists?

[Clay Travis]

Like ice cream. I'm not anti ice cream ice cream or it's cake.

[Buck Sexton]

You get, you get ice cream with your cake. You don't do ice cream cake. I don't know what this is. This is crazy talk.

[Clay Travis]

The, my boys are very much ice cream cake people. So I might have raised Marxist in that respect. But I'm an old school. I don't think we had ice cream cakes really when I was a kid. So I never really got to, got to experience them. So I'm going white cake, white icing, I will say. And I don't want to alienate anybody. You know, the worst thing I could ever do is offend anyone. The one thing that I will say, anyone who gets coconut on their birthday cake is just an absolute savage. I mean they may be terrorist. I, I'm very anti like coconut in general. But have you ever been to a birthday party where somebody's like, oh yeah, we have a coconut shredded, shredded coconut

[Buck Sexton]

on their birthday cake. You go straight deportation on that one.

[Clay Travis]

I mean really, I think you should join the Iranian Soleimani's family. You should be in a detainer facility. They picked her up in la. Good looking by the way. They picked her up in la.

[Buck Sexton]

Say all of a sudden everyone, it was pretty funny. It was a very male moment online. Meaning the guys out there, what everyone's like, there's the Iranian general's you know, niece lives here, that's outrageous. And then there's photos of her in a bikini and guys like, I mean due process.

[Clay Travis]

Like I do think she deserves her day at court.

[Buck Sexton]

I mean, yeah, a lot, a lot of huffing, a lot of huffing and puffing about the grand niece of like the Ayatollah because she looks nice in a mini skirt here in America, not over in Iran I might add. But yeah.

[Clay Travis]

And I, I do have to say that you should join her. If you are having birthday cake and I ever show up and you say, hey, here's my coconut shaved birthday cake. I mean it's just terroristic moves in my opinion, but should be fed the coconut.

[Buck Sexton]

To me, lemon cake is always the worst. Honestly. I put lemon cake maybe beyond because the flavor of the coconut cake I think is superior. But the little shredded coconut is gross. But people go, lemon birthday cake and I'm just like, why, why do you hate fun and things that taste good? I don't know. Lemon cake to me is a very. I'm okay carrot cake. I'm a fan of. I wouldn't do it for birthday cake though. I feel like that's against the rules. But carrot cake is delicious.

[Clay Travis]

I like German every, every cake but the coconut stuff.

[Buck Sexton]

German sheet cake. S H E E T German sheet cake is very good as well.

[Clay Travis]

I've never even heard of this. This is really. No, I've never heard of German sheet cake. I got to be careful saying that.

[Buck Sexton]

Dust. Dust.

[Clay Travis]

I don't want to get us an FCC violation on, on my, my birthday here. This is, by the way, we'll open up phone lines, but very quickly here because the president scheduled to talk in a few minutes and I do have. Buck, we can play this on the backside. One of the astronauts was really pretty fantastic in his Easter message. And I want to make sure we play it before the President speaks. And certainly everything is going to be reacting to the President for the rest of the show. Although I would bet that he's going to be a little bit, a little bit late. And the team, for those of you watching on video, trying to be healthy. And the team has sent me a fruit dish.

[Buck Sexton]

We just talked about cake for 10 minutes. And our gift to you is fruit. I don't know about that. Team on a team. New York team. I don't know.

[Clay Travis]

I think fruit special here. So everybody's telling me I need to be in better shape. I will tell you though, Buck, as we go to break, we got a brand new advertiser. We got a lot of new advertisers that are coming on. And this is, this is pretty fantastic. Lots of people out there are going to be impressed, I think as some of these different new advertisers start to come on the program as we are adding three hours of video sooner rather than later. And one of them is Americans for Prosperity. They have a one small step initiative. No better time than now. America's 250th anniversary. They are helping to push back on the idea that America's founding principles don't matter anymore. Because the truth is, they absolutely do. In fact, they matter more now than ever. Uh, and we're talking about the six principles that built this country. Dignity, freedom, opportunity, the rule of law, limited government and civic duty. That's what made America the greatest nation on earth. It's what we'll keep it that way. One small step is about turning belief into action. You not politicians, not bureaucrats in Washington. You're the ones who keep this country going strong. And you can go online to a new website, a250toolkit.com clay to sign up for this monthly toolkit.

I, I am benching more. I do and I'm positive even though I'm old, I am, I am benching more than I think ever before in my life because I'm trying to keep up with my 15 year old who is, who's got a lot of physical advantages on me frankly. But I'm gonna try to hold him off as long as I can.

[Buck Sexton]

Do you remember when you were a teenager doing things like walking past, like I, I used to play a fair amount of pickup basketball. I'd be, well, I'd walk past in like khaki pants and a, you know, true khaki pants.

[Clay Travis]

Back in the day I was tweeting about this when with jeans like nobody.

[Buck Sexton]

I didn't own jeans until I was basically in college. I just wore khaki pants all the time. But I'd walk back and I just jump into a game. I mean now the amount of stretching and, and stuff I would have to do in advance of jumping into a basketball game while wearing pants and not even athletic like, like just normal pants is a different world that we used to live in clay now it'd be like, oh my gosh, my Achilles. I could, I couldn't dream of such a thing. So, yes, they, the point is 15

[Clay Travis]

year old raining after church and we were on and we were running to try to get to the car and, and I was like, I, I think I might just pull the groin there. Like try trying to make it from church to the car in the rain. You know, my boys are just sprinting, you know, it doesn't matter. They can go straight from, you know, sitting in church for an hour to full sprint, no time at all. And I was like, oh, man, now you get a little loose here. But before I start to try to run to avoid the rain.

[Buck Sexton]

All true. Now we're waiting for Trump. Any moment he'll be joining us. We'll pick him up live because he's going to talk about the first of all the successful, the successful saving operation, search and rescue operation for a second airman. We got the first one very quickly from the F15E fighter jet that went down in Iran, shot down in Iran and it was quite an ordeal to get him out of there, but he was safely recovered. Now, I think, Clay, there are a lot of Democrats, it's quite obvious to me there are a lot of Democrats who are hoping things with the Iran war, let's just say it go badly and that that is reflected in the numbers for Trump. This is a major hope of the Democrat opposition here at at home. And CNN's Harry Entin has this to say about the situation with the Democrats and the Senate. I thought everybody should hear what Democrats are facing at this phase. I know we're months and months out, but we're going to be dialing in on this with each passing month play 16.

[Harry Entin]

This lead is historically low for Democrats at this point with a Republican president because take a look here. And I'm taking a look at the average of all the polls. Jim. Dem generic congressional ballot lead at this point point in the cycle with the Republican president on average their leads actually slightly less, it's five points.

[Buck Sexton]

All right, so Democrats not in a great position, but Donald Trump about to address the country. Let's take him live.

[Donald Trump]

Easters. I think in a lot of different ways I can say militarily it's been one of the best. So good afternoon. We have quite a bit to discuss. We'll go into pretty good detail and we have the people that are most involved will give you exactitude. And we're here today to celebrate the success of one of the largest, most Complex, most harrowing combat searches, I guess you would call it a search and rescue mission ever attempted by the military. Generally, when planes are knocked down in war, especially when you're fighting a strong group, a naval group, you can't really do this because you send in 200 men to pick up one, and it's something that's usually not attempted as much as you want to attempt, and bad things happen to that one or two. And in this case, we did two and might not have been attempted before, but we did and we got. We had great talent. We got a little luck, too, I would say. And we were helped by a lot of people, a lot of great people, and it was an honor to be involved with it. It's very historic. This is a rescue that's very historic. It'll go down in the books. Late Thursday night, an American F15 fighter jet went down deep inside enemy territory in Iran while participating in Operation Epic Fury, where we're doing unbelievably well. Well, at a level that nobody's ever seen before. The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night. Both members of the crew ejected from the aircraft and landed alive on Iranian soil. I immediately was asked to make a decision. I ordered the US Armed Forces forces to do whatever was necessary to bring our brave warriors back home. A risky decision because we could have ended up with 100 dead as opposed to one or two. It's a hard decision to make, but in the United States military, we leave no American behind. We don't do it. Within hours, our armed forces deployed 21 military aircraft into hostile airspace, many flying at very low altitude, being shot by bullets. You bring rifles into play when you go in that low. But there are also certain advantages. And in broad daylight over Iran for seven hours, at times facing very, very heavy enemy fire. We have a helicopter that's got a lot of bullets in it. It's amazing. We just realized how good those. Those weapons are, those our machines are. Nobody has. Nobody has the equipment that we have, and nobody has the military that we have. Not even close. The most powerful military anywhere in the world, by far. The flight crews and war fighters aboard those aircraft took extraordinary risks to rescue their fellow service members. This first wave of search and rescue forces successfully located the pilot of the the F15, and he was extracted from enemy territory by an HH60 Jolly Green 2 helicopter. Fabulous machine. As our warriors faced gunfire at very close range. It's amazing that when you look at the machinery, what happened, that nobody was Even injured. Meanwhile, the second crew member, a weapons system officer, highly respected colonel, had landed a significant distance away from the pilot. When you're going at those speeds, even if you go out two or three seconds later, it's miles, it's miles and miles away because you're going fast. He was injured quite badly and stranded in an area teeming with terrorists from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, RUF group, as well as besieged military, militia and local authorities. Many on top of everything else they told the communities actually with inside of Iran, the people of Iran, they were given a tremendous incentive to find this pilot. Despite the peril, the officer followed his training and climbed into the treacherous mountain terrain and started climbing toward a higher altitude, something they were trained to do in order to evade capture. They want to always go as far away from the site of the shoot down. You want to go as far away, because they all head right to that site. You want to be as far away as you can. And he was injured, and he was an amazing, amazing thing. He scaled cliff faces, bleeding rather profusely, treated his own wounds, and contacted American forces to transmit his location. They have a very sophisticated beeper type apparatus that is on them at all times. And when they, when they go out on these missions, they make sure they have lots of, of battery space and they're in good shape. And this one worked really well, amazingly saved his life. We immediately mobilized a massive operation to retrieve him from the mountain holdout. And he kept going higher and higher. The mountain kept getting rougher and rougher and really very, very hard to find. The second rescue mission involved 155 aircraft, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft and more. We were bringing them all over, and a lot of it was subterfuge. We wanted to have them think he was in a different location because they had a vast military force out there. Thousands, thousands of people were looking. So we wanted them to look in different areas. So we were scattered it all over like we were right on top of them. We had seven different locations where they thought and they were very confused. They said, well, wait a minute, they've got groups here, they've got groups there. It's an amazing thing. I was listening to these great people, these great generals. General Raisin Cain, who's amazing, and Pete Hegseth was amazing. But I listened to the whole thing. It was pretty amazing. So they had all these different sites where everybody thought he was located. We think we have him over there because they have nine planes circling a little area that's 25 miles down the coast. So in a breathtaking show of skill and precision, lethality and force, America's military descended on the area, the real area. Engage the enemy, rescue rescued the stranded officer, destroyed all threats and exited Iranian territory. While taking no casualties of any kind. The heroic F15 weapons system officer had evaded capture on the ground in Iran for almost 48 hours. That's a long time when you're in tough shape and when you're bleeding. It's a long time when, when we left, as you probably know, we had two large planes, old, pretty old planes that carried a lot. We needed a lot more equipment going in than coming out, obviously, because going in, we needed to be able to scale mountains and we had a lot of equipment. But the sand was, it was sandy, wet sand, so we thought there may be a problem taking off because of the weight of the plane. And then you also had all the men jumping back onto the planes and they got pretty well bogged down. And we had a contingency plan which was unbelievable where lighter, faster aircraft came in and they took them out. We blew up the old planes and we blew them up to smithereens because we had equipment on the planes that frankly we'd like to take, but I don't think it was worthwhile spending another four hours there taking it off. So we didn't want anybody to have, we have the best, best equipment anywhere in the world. We didn't want anybody examining our anti aircraft and other equipment. So these were large planes that were old and pretty old, and we blew them up. And we had faster, lighter planes come in and they were able to land on the sand. We needed the bigger planes because. Because we had so much equipment that we knew. We took three helicopters over there which were very strongly used and couldn't have lived without them. They did. They performed unbelievably well. And if you'd see it, you wouldn't believe it. They came off the plane and these guys had them. The, the rotors were off. They rebuilt these helicopters in less than 10 minutes. And that was one of the more amazing things in. These are helicopters.

[Buck Sexton]

Stories of America.

[Clay Travis]

Inspirational stories that unite us all. Each day spend time with Clay and box. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Clay. Travis Buck Sexton show we have got President Trump still taking questions. He has been talking for at least an hour ish now. He started at the top of last hour. He is still going now. We will continue to monitor those questions. The stock market has not moved very much in any direction at all during the course of the past hour, suggesting that there has not been much in the way of news that was unexpected. Buck so far, one bit of news that is kind of cool. Did you know? And again, it's kind of getting snowed under with all the attention. With the Artemis 2 astronauts, we now have sent humans farther from Earth than ever in the history of the world. The humans are now over nearly 250,000 miles from Earth as they are preparing to go around the dark side of the moon. And that is pretty cool. And again, basically snowed under with all of the news that is taking place in the United States and around the world right now. But as we are speaking to you now, humans are farther from Earth than they have ever been in recorded history. I feel comfortable saying history, and that is pretty awesome. So on the dark side of the moon, as President Trump was beginning to speak an hour ago, we played you a cut. And actually, let me give you a positive here, Buck, you have not heard this. Let's have a super positive. It is, we just came through Easter weekend, and I know many of you with your friends and family, and hopefully you all had fabulous Easter weekends. We did here. I know Buck did as well. This is Artemis 2 astronaut Victor Glover, who, unscripted, was asked what his message might be on Easter weekend for everyone back on Earth. And I thought this was so fantastically well said. The team pulled it. I shared it as well. Here is Victor Glover, astronaut in space. Listen to this. On Easter weekend.

[Victor Glover]

For me, one of the really important personal perspectives that I have up here is I can really see Earth as one thing. And, you know, when I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us who were created, it's. You have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos. Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we're doing is special. But we're the same distance from you. And I'm trying to tell you, just trust me, you are special in all of this emptiness. This is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe. You have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together. I think as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about, you know, all the cultures all around the world, whether you celebrate it or not, whether you believe in God or not, this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are, who we are, and that we are the same thing, and that we got to get through this together.

[Clay Travis]

I thought that was really well said. Again, that video is out there. He's floating in space. Asked about what his experiences have been so far and unscripted, he uncorked what I think is pretty incredible. And again, the Artemis 2 crew has now set a record for the furthest humans have ever gone from the planet Earth. As we are speaking to you now, President Trump continuing to answer questions. But you know, you know what's interesting, Buck? You started to play this cut from cnn. As we are Starting to move into midterm election cycle and I forgot what number it was. You may have it in front of you again. But we started to play it and then President Trump started to speak.

[Buck Sexton]

I mean, the leader of the free world decided it was time to address the whole nation. So I had to cut Harry Anton off. Sorry, Harry. Poor man's Ryan Gardusky. But he's, he's going to come back now. We're going to play it. Let's do it.

[Harry Entin]

This lead is historically low for Democrats at this point with a Republican president. Because take a look here. I'm taking a look at the average of all the polls, Jim. Dem, generic Congress, congressional ballot lead at this point in the cycle with the Republican president on average, their leads actually slightly less. It's five points. That's less than it was back in 2018 when it was eight points and way less than it was during the 2006 cycle when it was 11 points. So yeah, Democrats are ahead, but they're only ahead by five. With a president whose net approval rating is bordering on minus 20 to minus 30, depending on what polls you look at, you'd make the argument Democrats should be way ahead and they're just only sort of slightly ahead.

[Clay Travis]

So that is out there as we look at midterms. And I wanted to share this. Buck, this is from the New York Times and the Republicans. The Senate Leadership Fund has unveiled a plan to spend $342 million to hold the Senate. And Buck, this is, you know, I know the House is going to get a lot of attention, but to me, the Senate is the whole ball of wax in many ways because we know the House is going to impeach Trump and all those things, but really we need to be able to continue to get judges number one expenditure. I don't know if any of these will surprise you, but I thought this was interesting. Ohio, $79 million. So J.D. vance has now been elevated to Vice president and as a result his seat is up for grabs. And they are running the guy who just lost to Bernie Marino, 79 million to keep that overall seat. Then North Carolina, 71 million. That is where Thom Tillis is stepping down. Those are two Republican seats. Maine, 42 million. That is Susan Collins. Now, in theory, all three of those seats could be lost and you would still have J.D. vance to break the tie. So you would still have control of the Senate. Then this is what I would call, Buck, the sort of red wall states. Iowa, 29 million and Alaska 15 million. So that is the five GOP held seats where Republicans are saying, okay, we're gonna spend a lot of money. Democrat held seats, Michigan. We talked with Mike Rogers Friday. I think he was on the show Friday. The top, the Senate candidate in Michigan. GOP is going to spend $45 million on that open seat and then $44 million in Georgia and $17 million in New Hampshire to try to flip one of those three top target states out there, Michigan, Georgia and New Hampshire. It's not too early to start thinking about this landscape. And I thought given that Harry Inton clip, these numbers jumped out at me. So effectively eight states that will decide who controls the United States Senate.

[Buck Sexton]

Look, I think that Ohio is going to be much more interesting in some ways than it should be. You know, the governor's race is close. Yes, and it shouldn't be close. But because of Trump's endorsement there for Vivek, the Ohio GOP just decided we're going to make him. They didn't run a primary really. They said we're going to make Vivek Ramaswamy the candidate. He's got some huge weaknesses, especially in a state like Ohio because of his public statements. He's going to make things a lot tighter than they should have been, which is going to affect everything. You know, you say, oh, that's the governor's race. Well, it's going to affect the Senate race too. As you know, ballot splitting. I mean these things are, you want, you want it to be as solid red as it can be across the board. So I see that playing out in a way that is it's going to, I'm not saying that the Democrats will win either of those, but it's going to be a challenge. When we thought of Ohio as pretty safe red territory for a few elections here and it has been. So that's I think another interesting component to all of this. There's also we can play 17 as well. There's more on this from Harry Anton. I'd like to hear more of his data analysis from over. He is a good data analyst. I will give give credit. Where do Harry Anton this is seventeen play it.

[Harry Entin]

Why is that generic congressional ballot lead solo? Because just take a look at this net favorability party ahead at this point. Midterm years with the GOP president. In 2018, Dems were up by 12 and 2006 on that favorability. Which party like more Dems are hit by 18. Republicans are actually ahead on that favorability at this point by five points. So Democrats are just simply put running behind their previous benchmarks and they need to be running well ahead of them if they want to take back the United States Senate, given that math.

[Buck Sexton]

So look, Democrats are naughty. And for given the math of midterms, Democrats are not in a very good spot right now, which is unsurprising. So like I said at the very beginning of this or early on, I think that there's a lot of wishing for catastrophe in Iran. And as that pertains also to the economy and gas prices and everything else, because first of all, Clay, who is the leader of the Democrat Party right now, we still ask this question. Yes, that matters. There is no leader of the resistance. You know, when you talk about previous, you know, previous administrations, just go back 20 years, there have always been a couple of Democrats or a Democrat who is the voice of the opposition or the voice of the regime. Right now, I don't know. I don't think anybody knows. Gavin Newsom is hoping to consolidate that around him. Will see there's no other Democrat, though. You know, Barack Obama. It's been a long time. And I don't know. Obama has never one thing about Obama ism that is just clear from the numbers. He has never translated into helping other Democrats very much. He was good at getting elected. He was not good at electing other Democrats. I think he was a singularly effective for his own, for his own political purposes. Anyway, I think that it's going to be, I think we're going to be fine in the Senate. It's going to be a real dogfight in the House, much more so than it should be for a party that is in power at this stage of the game. But I feel, I feel do you feel confident in the Senate? I have full confidence we're going to maintain the Senate.

[Clay Travis]

I feel pretty good about the Senate. And I think this election is going to come down to again, I said it earlier in the program, a lot of people are just angry, but the favorability for Democrats is actually lower than the favorability for Republicans. So I think we live in a world now where the idea that you're going to have someone who is really, really popular on the Democrat or the Republican side is unfortunately not our reality. And so it's almost the side of which one is disliked more. You know, there isn't, there isn't like, hey, I really like both these guys. And it's going to be tough for me to pick. It's I dislike both parties, but I dislike the Democrat Party more than I dislike the Republican Party. So it is a, it is a, that's the cycle that we seem to have been in for some time. And look, I, I'm, I would say a little bit nervous when I see the dollars that are going to have to be spent in Ohio. I would not have expected that Republicans would be spending the most of their money in Ohio. One thing I will say, media tried to talk up Texas. Texas is not even on the list of states that Republicans are planning to spend.

[Buck Sexton]

They, they always do this. They put Beto on the COVID of Vanity Fair, for heaven's sakes. Well, I mean, not that that was

[Clay Travis]

going to be fair.

[Buck Sexton]

You want, you want to appeal to ranchers in West Texas, get a Vanity Fair covered. They're like, oh, I love that Vanity Fair.

[Clay Travis]

I will say they did have to spend. Republicans did a ton of money against Beto. Beto is way better of a candidate than Talarico. And I think this is a tacit acknowledgment that Texas is not going to be in play. But Ohio, Ohio should be an easy win. It should be. And the fact that it's going to cost $75 million to potentially win that seat that is already in Republicans hands, I think is not ideal. All right, we come back, we'll give you more. Trump is still talking, still answering questions. There have not been very many fireworks so far, but we will continue to monitor this. Stock market hasn't moved very much one way or the other. So there has not been a ton of news to come out of this. In fact, Buck, I think President Trump basically said everything he was going to say when he was talking at the White House Easter Egg Roll. By the way, we are going to be joined by the head of the CFTC in the bottom of this hour. He's going to be in studio here with us. But I want to tell you all about Pure Talk.

Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Before we send you off, we have so many great, so many great talkbacks and things to discuss with all of you, which I am certainly very excited about. Also want to tell you to go check out the Clan Buck podcast network and go get an audio book of Manufacturing Delusion while you can. Those audiobooks flying off the shelves. Well, I guess that's easy because it's all digital, but it's my voice. You can listen to it there. You can go listen to Manufacturing Delusion, the audiobook. Go to the Clay and Buck podcast network for all the pods. And I'm trying to. Clay, I'm, I'm a little bit stallings. I'm trying to find the latest. Where is, where are the talkbacks on the cakes, guys? We gotta. Oh, here we go. They all do.

[Clay Travis]

We gotta.

[Buck Sexton]

All right, all right. Light them up.

[Donald Trump]

Light them up.

[Buck Sexton]

Linda, let's do it.

[Clay Travis]

First of all, let's go to D. Jerry from Texas teeing off on me. Jerry, cut D. I really thought Clay

[Harry Entin]

was about to say I'm gonna have

[Buck Sexton]

steak, I'm gonna have cake, and I'm

[Harry Entin]

gonna have a cup of rose to go along with it.

[Buck Sexton]

Hey, not that there's anything wrong with that, Clay. Not that.

[Clay Travis]

Not that there's anything wrong with.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm gonna.

[Clay Travis]

Again, it's my birthday. My plan is watch the college basketball national championship game, have some steak, have some cake. No rose plan. And Joe from New York City not happy with you. W o r listener talk back either.

[Buck Sexton]

Buck, you dirty dog. Don't you ever talk about my ice

[Clay Travis]

cream cake like that again.

[Buck Sexton]

I will never wish you a happy birthday ever again. Ice cream cake is the greatest thing you could have on your birthday besides a beautiful woman. Okay, knock it off. I mean, I. I agree with the beautiful woman comment from Joe, who's a great New Yorker. Listening on wor. I just think that ice cream and cake separated are much better combo. I don't think you need to combine these things. I just. I'm a true believer in the cake being the cake and the ice cream being a scoop on the side.

[Clay Travis]

Jeff in Charleston teeing off on us. Cut. G. Okay, Clay and Beck, this is Jeff from Charleston. I just have to say you both are cake losers and should never make

[Donald Trump]

any decisions on cake.

[Buck Sexton]

All right, can I throw a flag here? Jeff on Charleston. Let's say you're right. Jeff from Charleston. Let's say Clay and I are cake losers. You gotta tell us why. Like, are. Are you going all in on coconut shredded on your cake or, you know, you gotta give us more to work with here than just you guys are. You can't just send us a talkback that says we're losers. And I mean, you can, and we just played it on the air. We're losers and we're wrong. There's a comma there.

[Public Investing Ad]

Why?

[Buck Sexton]

You gotta give us the why, buddy. You gotta tell us. What about this? Cause. Cause we got nothing we can fight back with right now. You're just saying our cake takes are, in general, terrible. I mean, maybe he's a big German sheet cake guy. Who knows?

[Clay Travis]

Very careful there. Boston tees off. Unidentified Boston listener. Cut.

[Buck Sexton]

H. How can Buck be from New

[Clay Travis]

York and not be familiar with ice cream cake?

[Buck Sexton]

That's where Carvel ice cream originated. Ice cream cake is the best. Not sure how Buck is missing that. My familiarity with ice cream cake is what breeds my contempt for it. That's the point. And some of you are like, well,

[Clay Travis]

you, producer Greg Buck is not even in studio, I don't think today. But he had a talk back. I Mean, the guy who took time off for vacation to go watch the eclipse. Probably not going to surprise anybody out there that he's a huge coconut on cake fan. Cut f. Hi, guys.

[Buck Sexton]

It's producer Greg.

[Donald Trump]

I have coconut on my cake for

[Buck Sexton]

my birthday every year.

[Donald Trump]

You guys can't figure out that the little bit of coconut on your cake

[Buck Sexton]

brings the islands closer to you.

[Donald Trump]

I can't help you.

[Clay Travis]

Was that a cat in the background too? I mean, just definitely.

[Buck Sexton]

It definitely was a cat in the background. Which.

[Clay Travis]

Are we sure producer Greg is actually on our team. It's got cats in the background. Coconut. He takes time off for eclipses. I don't know.

[Buck Sexton]

You know, we got two. We got two hockey super fans, producer Greg and producer Mark. And they.

[Clay Travis]

They.

[Buck Sexton]

They go to the mat for all you hockey fans who listen to us and don't let us get away with any shenanigans making, you know, talking smack about h. But I just feel like people that like shredded coconut on their cake also probably like hockey. That's where I'm coming down on this.

[Clay Travis]

I think that that's actually. Those are. Producer Greg might be the only guy who likes cocky hockey and also is gonna go with. With shredded coconuts. Awful. I don't think so. It's basically telling everybody at your birthday party, I hate you, but I like this. And so everybody else has to do it. Alienates.

Talk back Listener J. A podcast listener, rather. Luke from Colorado on Jay.

[Donald Trump]

[Buck Sexton]

Hey, Clay.

[Donald Trump]

My name is Luke from Colorado and as old as you are.

[Buck Sexton]

I'm wondering if the high school mascot

[Donald Trump]

was your T. Rex.

[Buck Sexton]

All right.

[Harry Entin]

Whoa.

[Clay Travis]

47. Hey, T Rex. No high school mascots.

[Buck Sexton]

And what was your high school mascot actually?

[Clay Travis]

Curious. That's not. Not really great. The Royals.

[Buck Sexton]

That's kind of. Yeah, mine was not great. A little better.

[Clay Travis]

The Raiders. The Raiders, which I was a very common. Very common high school. We had the Royals, which basically had become like a lion. Right? Like the Royals. But, you know, it's not. I'm not gonna.

[Buck Sexton]

Why not just go Lions then? Why go Royals?

[Clay Travis]

You know, I don't know. It's a fantastic question. It's a great question.

[Buck Sexton]

All right.

[Clay Travis]

Hey, we love all of you. Thank you for spending Monday with us. Big news to follow tomorrow. Thanks to President Trump. Went all throughout the whole show.

This is Martha Stewart from the Martha Stewart Podcast. Ever wonder how to make hosting look effortless? Here's a secret Getting ahead of the mess with new Reynolds Kitchens Countertop prep Paper Just lightly wet the counter beforehand so the paper grips and stays in place. Then lay down the Reynolds Kitchen's countertop prep paper so drips and spills stay on the paper, not all over your kitchen counter.

You can use it for cooking and baking, prep and even crafting, especially when you need extra working space. Because when the mess is already handled, you can focus on what matters the food, the people and the moment. It may look effortless, but now you know it's Reynolds Kitchen's countertop prep paper. Take a tip from me. Wet it, set it, prep it. Done. Make it easy. Make it with Reynolds Kitchens countertop prep paper, available now in the Reynolds wrap aisle in Walmart.
