welcome in Monday Edition. Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show Lots of different news stories emerging from the weekends. As many of you would imagine, we are still determining what is going to happen in Iran. That story continuing to play out. We will give you the latest. Yet another no Kings protest, wildly successful as there is still no king in America and very positive. TSA seems to now be fixed as President Trump using emergency authority, has begun to pay TSA agents their back pay. The salaries. The paychecks began to arrive on Monday morning for many different TSA agents. Update for those of you that are traveling for spring break Easter holiday week, we are right now New York City's LaGuardia Airport in according to our research here, is the only airport that has a substantial weight right now. It's around an hour and a half according to online trackers at LaGuardia and in New York City, every other airport in america Right now, 30 minutes or less. And let's start off the week with some positivity. Buck. I really do believe that deploying TSA agents has made a very big difference overall in people's ability to get in and out of airports, as was suggested by our fantastic caller and Linda from Arizona. And as if that were not enough, Buck, now that the payments are taking place, I haven't seen yet, although I wouldn't put it past them, Democrats suing to say that President Trump is exceeding his authority in order to get these emergency payments to TSA employees. But it seems like much of the chaos surrounding airports has now been to has now been rectified and President Trump has solved what otherwise would have been an issue and the TSA is no longer an issue that feels like they're going to put it into a reconciliation. Bill is the latest and be able to fund for three years all of this to try to stop everybody from on the Democrat side from consistently shutting down the government. Is that your read? What's your take?
- [02:42]
A
Yeah, assuming that the wait times stay where they are right now, it looks like they've been able to backfill and figure this out. I also think that at some point the Democrats probably recognized that the more people paid attention to this, the less easy it was for them to just transfer the blame onto Republicans. But they've accomplished, I'll be honest about this, of course the Democrats have accomplished their goal at some level of showing their lunatic base of no kings protesters. When you say no kings protesters, I just want you to know you have to as a guy, your estrogen level has to go up considerably. As does your voice. All of a sudden you have to go from talking about America and the
- [03:24]
C
Republic to being really up here. Like, I was at a no Kings protest with Brian Stelter and we were showing them that there are no kings allowed in America.
- [03:34]
A
And.
- [03:35]
C
And my mom picked me up Even though I'm 65 years old and it was great.
- [03:40]
A
Clay, I'm telling you, it is impossible for me to hear that somebody went to a no kings protest and think anything other than. You just have nothing to do with your time, do you? You're really just bored. You must be insanely bored.
- [03:52]
B
Which is why I think your suggestion we were on with our friend Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday, that since you continue to lose steak bets to me, the next bet. This is actually a great idea. Next bet we place, whatever it may be, the loser has to go to an anti Trump protest and spend the day walking among.
- [04:14]
A
Let's. There have been, there have been a total of two completed steak bets. One of them, I actually took a fancy meal at the RNC in lieu of steak bet. Okay. Which was acceptable because it was very delicious.
- [04:26]
B
Right. I forgot that was. That was last year. That was the first payoff. Yes.
- [04:30]
A
So you. What was the one that you, you what did. Oh, Biden, Biden and Buck island, which I still think is kind of. It's outrageous that that came as close to the wire as it did. But. All right, Biden, Buck island, that's where you got your fancy steak with the song and dance. I won for J.D.
- [04:45]
B
vance.
- [04:46]
A
I do think I'm about to get smoke.
- [04:47]
B
That was a great call to be fair.
- [04:49]
A
Thank you. Thank you. That was.
- [04:51]
B
I.
- [04:51]
A
When there were 10 vice presidential candidates everybody was thinking about, I was like, JD Vance now. Nailed it. Now I think I'm about to get smoked in the Kamala bet, which is sad. And that will be another steak. I already have a place in mind here in Miami. It's very delicious and very expensive. However, our next bet, which is going to be a big one for the probably the midterms if we, if we can find, we have to legitimately disagree. Like I'm not going to take the suckers side of a bet just because, you know, we're here to entertain. But if we legitimately disagree on something, it will be one of us has to show up at a no Kings protest because there will be more we can mask up. Obviously not to hide our identity, but because of the virus. You have to mask up to take
- [05:29]
B
the virus very seriously.
- [05:31]
A
And, and, and Then we will do maybe even some video, some on the spot video. I'll probably go in Brian Stelter mode
- [05:37]
C
and just be like, what does it feel like to be here, to be standing against tyranny, to be doing everything necessary to stop Trump and his war on women?
- [05:45]
A
It'll be great. It'll be great. So that's, that will be our next bet. Kayleigh McEnany presided over the formation of that as an idea for on Fox over the weekend. So, Clay, I got something for you. As you. As I have said before, I'm not the only one. I have a couple friends that have admitted to me this is true too. I joined the CIA because of Tom Clancy books. Basically after 9 11, the CIA is what came to mind because I thought I'm more like Jack Ryan than I am Arnold Schwarzenegger from Commando for obvious reasons. So I was like, I think I'll do CIA. Like that will be how I'll try to serve. This was just my own formulation in my head, but it was because of the Jack Ryan novels by Tom Clancy. I'm bringing that up because this, this story, Wall Street Journal is their big story and exclusive, that Trump is weighing a military move to extract Iran's uranium. Understand this is straight out of a Tom Clancy book. If he does this, it would require the deployment of elite special operations forces. Not even clear, you know, which units, I don't think anyone's clear yet on which units exactly. Who would have to be trained and prepared for the removal of. They look a bit like scuba gas canisters as described in the article, of enriched uranium. A couple of truckloads of them from a few different facilities. But Clay, this would be US troops on the ground going after the single most important national security asset of the mullahs in their minds, which is their enriched uranium. Taking incoming fire, of course, on the insertion phase on the ground, holding off Iranian forces and then an extract all under fire. This is, you know, it's, this is as super Secret Squirrel, though I guess we all know it's coming. But I mean this is as, as elite spec ops, a mission with the highest stakes imaginable that you could come up with. And it is under consideration right now.
- [07:40]
B
It feels like a TV show, you know, like a Jack Ryan. I know they made the, the latest television show associated with it, but it feels like a movie script even. And I know that we couldn't even know who the villains were in Top Gun 1 and in Top Gun Maverick 2, I believe they're working on another Top Gun. This feels like a Top Gun style mission that would be occurring. What do you think about it here? Let me tell you my thought and you tell me whether it's crazy. If we go in and attempt this on some level, then it almost feels to me like elements of Iran leadership might be trying to prove their bona fides by allowing this to happen. Because if. Let me just walk me through like the real politic here and you tell me if I'm crazy.
- [08:36]
A
You think there's Iranian elements that are going to let us land and take this stuff? No way.
- [08:39]
B
I wonder, I wonder whether there are elements out there that believe that if they don't have this, this uranium, they don't have this refined material, that it makes it easier for them to say we're not going to go try to get nuclear weapons. After that they can say it publicly. But if it's not there, it makes the refinement and the pursuit of nuclear weapons and easier to claim that you're doing while not actually having any reality of being able to do it. In other words, could there be parts of Iran that are willing to give up on nuclear ambition but can't say it publicly and effectively? If we go in and take it, it gives them an off ramp to allow them to get to a place that otherwise they can't. In other words, that a lot of the public.
- [09:30]
A
I get your theory. I mean, for decades they've been willing to essentially stare down the world's lone superpower over this one issue. The only way there's any chance that what you're talking about is the deal is if we have killed so many
- [09:43]
B
of their leaders that we finally got
- [09:45]
A
to get whatever is left is this terrified rump, if you will, of leadership. But I mean, Clay, you know, why, why not just open the Strait of Hormuz, then? Why not just concede on some of these things if that's, if that's where they are? I don't. I mean, it's an, it's an interesting theory and we'll see. I wouldn't put a stake bet on that one, my man. I think we're going to take a lot of incoming fire. If this mission happens, I think the Iranians are going to have. I mean, when I say the Iranians, right, we're talking about the government security apparatus there. We're not talking about the Iranian people, 90 million people. We're talking about whatever's left of what they've got. But this is the whole game for them was that they have to protect this Stuff if we go, that's why Trump wants to take it. So if we take it, it means, you know, it means that essentially all that they have been fighting for was for naught. And that's why it also, Buck, would
- [10:38]
B
mean that we have incredible intel as to exactly what it, where it is that it is accessible. Right. Because you can imagine a world where you get guys on the ground and it's buried in rubble and it's otherwise not able to be extricated. So if we go in, to me, Buck, it feels like there is some sort of tacit agreement that we're going to be able to get this material.
- [11:06]
A
I, I could not see that happening,
- [11:09]
B
but it's a very, otherwise the risk is huge. Right.
- [11:13]
A
This is what I'm about to say, which is Trump is gambling the future of his presidency on this Iran situation all across the board. This is why I haven't been coming down hard on it or I haven't been. I'm not the commander in chief. I don't have real time briefs on what the satellites are picking up and what our sources are telling us on the ground. And, you know, I don't know. He has, he has, he's the president. And look what he's done in Venezuela. Look what he's done on a whole range of issues where he's been right and everybody else has been wrong. I am saying I believe that President Trump will see this through and see this through to a positive conclusion. I don't know. If he doesn't, we're going to get, we're going to get our asses kicked in the midterms. We're going to lose the House by a lot. Meaning if this goes really bad, if oil prices stay high, if we lose a bunch of soldiers in some operation on the ground, anything like that, that's it, man. And then it's going to be impeachment 3.0. It's game over for getting big things done for the administration. So this is, this is kind of an all in gamble as far as I see it, for his presidency, how this goes. And he seems still very confident about this turning out the right way. You know, Clay, we can't assess the game until the scoreboard is final. We don't really know that's a sports thing. We don't really know how this is going to shape up. So I just don't want, I don't want to get ahead of events, but I mean, the, the extracting uranium move is this, is, this is, there's a reason why? It's the front page of the Wall Street Journal. It's the number one story, I think, probably across all news sources right now, because this is some big stuff.
- [12:51]
B
Do you think it would even take.
- [12:54]
A
Oh, man. The military planning on this would. I mean, I, you know, I can't.
- [12:58]
B
On the ground. Actual guys that we would have on the ground, in order to extract this would be.
- [13:03]
A
You need blocking security element. You need to have a special team that could go in and knows how to handle radioactive. I mean, this starts to feel a little bit like the movie the Rock with the vx.
- [13:12]
B
It feels like a movie more than it feels like reality.
- [13:15]
A
Yes. But you're. You're going in to take the uranium. And, you know, the other side of this is if you do take it, by the way, you got proof of why you're. Why this whole thing happened in the first place. That's another aspect.
- [13:29]
B
It's not wmd.
- [13:30]
A
It's not wmd. Right. Some people will be like, but they, they faked the arena. But some people also think the world is flat and all that stuff.
- [13:37]
B
So they also.
- [13:38]
A
Flat Earthers are coming for me.
- [13:39]
B
Fake the assassination attempt, which has started to cycle up even more lately. I've seen that.
- [13:45]
A
But I, I really do think that Trump has decided to make finishing Iran as a malevolent force in the world the single biggest gamble of his administration. That's where we are. It has not. I don't think it has gone in a way that is catastrophic at all. I think so far, the military progress has been pretty, pretty incredible. But they're weighing more, and the, the clock is running and the price of gas is high and the Strait of Hormuz is closed. And Trump has essentially said, open the strait or I'm just going to punish you even more. So we're still very much in this thing. And when they're talking about boots on the ground, Clay, a lot of people, including in MAGA, they're like, all right, Mr. President, you know, you're going to see this through. But this wasn't. This wasn't what the plan was when we voted for you. There are, there are some that feel like we don't want to get too deep into this. Trump's very aware of that, and I think that he's going to finish this up. I still believe I said April 1st, but now they're looking to do additional things like take the uranium. This is a matter of weeks, not months, before this thing comes to a conclusion. Has to be.
- [14:50]
B
What do you think about the Wall Street Journal reporting on this in this kind of a detailed fashion. Hey, you know the article came out last night. Hey, President Trump is talking about sending boots on the ground in to get the thousand pounds of uranium. It's very specific in the way that it is written about and again, it just feels like almost an intentional, I don't know. Let's come back because I think there's a lot going on here on and you have to look behind what's being said publicly because I think there's so much dishonesty in terms of the, the statements that are being made. And I'll talk about what I mean by that when we come back. Rapid Radios Michigan based company making modern day walkie talkies.

Welcome back in here to Play and Buck. We definitely want to hear from you on what you think about how things are going in Iran and also if you've had any experience with the we're going a different direction here. Any experience with the TSA in the last 48 hours or so at an airport that had been snarled. You can send in a VIP email or let us know if things seem like they are going better because that's certainly the reporting that that we've seen. You know, Clay has flown since this whole mess. I have not. I'll be driving up to Palm beach area. Well actually be taking the train which is fun. Very civilized, very civilized. But we want to hear from all of you on how you think this Iran situation is playing out right now. It seems to me Clay, like most of the Trump supporters out there, they trust Trump to see it through. There are some very loud voices on the right that say that this is a calamity in the making. I don't see that yet. So I don't think that that's correct analysis. All right. Defend yourself at home. Critical. Right. You need to have the tools in order to do so. There's a high rate of home burglaries in this country, even in safe neighborhoods. In fact, sometimes the bad guys will find a house in a safe neighborhood because you don't expect it. Right. This is why you need to have Sabre to defend yourself and your home. The best non lethal products for home and self defense come from Sabre Sabre. The Sabre pepper launcher is simply better than any of the competitors or copycats out there. The Sabre home defense launcher delivers powerful impact projectiles and two more than the main competitors out there. So you got more in the chamber, so to speak. Protection doesn't stop at your front door. Saber pepper sprays, pepper gel, stun guns can all be taken with you on the go.

B
safe welcome back in Clay Travis. Buck Sexton show. Buck, I just want to read some some of this Wall Street Journal piece about the idea of going in to seize this uranium. It does. When you read a couple of these paragraphs sound so much like a movie that it's hard. It's hard to believe this is is real. There would be several challenges here is among this. Tell me Buck, that this doesn't sound like a pitch for Top Gun 3 or a television show about special forces. Teams of US forces would need to fly to the sites likely under fire from Iranian surface to air missiles and drones. Once on site, combat troops would need to secure perimeters so engineers with excavating equipment could search through debris and check for mines and booby traps. The extraction of the material would likely need to be conducted by an elite special ops team specially trained to remove radioactive material from a conflict zone. And the highly enriched uranium is likely contained in 40 to 50 special cylinders that resemble scuba tanks. They would need to be put into transportation Cast to protect against accidents. Unless an airfield was available, a makeshift one would need to be set up to bring equipment in and out and take the nuclear material out. The entire operation would take days or even a week to complete. This totally sounds like a pitch that you would hear for a Hollywood movie.
- [20:27]
A
When they're describing this in the article, I can just imagine as the SEAL team, you know, descends on the 4 Dow site and is Sean Connery appearing, going, welcome to the rock.
- [20:40]
B
Yeah. And not only that, you can even think about the television show, television or movie components to this, where the radioactive nerds interacting, meaning the guys who are in charge of getting all the radioactive materials out, interacting with the badass special ops guys. You would imagine there's a little bit of a cultural discord, potentially between the engineers who are super nerds, as it
- [21:05]
A
pertains, are cool too. Clay, Just to be clear, the intel nerds, you know, we have our. We had our uses. Look, no, this is, this is a. It's an incredible plan. And, and in all seriousness, I know we're. We're having a little bit of a. A Hollywood moment about it, but in all. In all seriousness, it would be the whole thing. Even if what you're saying or your theory, Clay, let's just say that was true. To pull this off.
- [21:30]
B
Yeah.
- [21:31]
A
Would be an era defining peace in the Middle East. Biggest Trump badass move of all time. I mean, this would be number one. This would be a moment up there with Trump getting shot in the air, raising his fist and telling everybody to fight with, which is still the most iconic political presidential moment of our lifetime. So, yes, this would be pretty next level.
- [21:53]
B
Let me ask you this. You've briefed the president in the Oval Office before. President Trump has a cinematic sense for the presidency and also his role in the presidency. How receptive might he be? Some people out there can say, oh, this is crazy that you would talk about how this sounds like a movie or it sounds like a, you know, very television show, but a president who has a cinematic understanding of the role, responsibility, and symbolism of the presidency. Wouldn't the pitch, if it's accepted, likely be that President Trump thinks of this as a badass action hero movie like action that he is ordering? In other words, is that a crazy take psychologically that that pitch might resonate with him? Now, my concern is, after what we saw with Maduro and after what we have seen so far of the successful strikes on Iran, sometimes you start to be overconfident.
- [22:54]
A
You think he's got hot hand fallacies
- [22:56]
B
Sports analogy, yes, Another sports analogy from you. But yes, you pull up from mid court, Duke fans know a little bit about this and drain a jumper. You feel like the next one you're going to hit. And so I wonder psychologically how all of this plays in because. Because it also buck is a master stroke that allows you to declare victory and have a signature event to point to. Because if we just pull out now, most people are going to say, I don't know the difference between this Iranian leader and the other one. It takes time to figure out whether there's going to be a substantial difference. Masterstroke, hey, we've got the uranium on the plane and we took away their ability to actually create nuclear weapons. And it seems like it would appeal to Trump's cinematic sense of the American presidency.
- [23:42]
A
It also, if we're going back to the Hollywood side of it for a second again, I understand that this is all very real and that there'd be U.S. forces who would be at risk and everything else. But just if we're talking about this as we do on a radio show for a moment, it reminds me a little bit also of the storyline or some elements of the Peacemaker, which I think is an underrated, you know, the Peacemaker. George Clooney. George Clooney and Nicole Kidman, 90s military action flick about essentially rogue Russian nuclear material that they have to track down. It's, it's a pretty good movie. It holds up, actually, for what it is. So for any of you looking for a little bit of a throwback flick, but there's a whole thing about this is what it's just tracking down. I might, I don't, can't remember if plutonium is back to the future. We all remember that, right? The plutonium, I think it's uranium that they're tracking in the Peacemaker, but it's nuclear fissile material is what they're trying to get. And this has been a concern for, well, that had been a concern obviously for a long time, that it would get out into the open market and there'd be some rogue element, whole dirty bomb, dirty bomb scare during the Bush Cheney years. But now this would be taking nuclear material from, I would assume, the most defended sites. Now, they've been hit hard with missiles and everything else. But this is not, this is not landing on the beaches along the Strait of Hormuz to create a, well, a beachhead of security essentially for the tankers going through. This would be right in the middle of Iran taking it, getting there, getting it out.
- [25:19]
B
It's a crazy potential outcome.
- [25:21]
A
By the way, I don't think the Wall Street Journal writes this unless somebody from the administration is talking to them about it.
- [25:25]
B
Well, that, that's why I wonder again, my alarm bell's going off. Could there be some agreement tacitly behind scenes that the US Is going to show up and get this?
- [25:36]
A
And we also have a precedent here with Trump had talked about, hey, Maduro, you better, you better, you better stop messing around. And Maduro's like, come and get it. It's like, oh, well, he won't ever do that because they know he's coming. He doesn't care.
- [25:52]
B
Yes.
- [25:52]
A
So this is not, oh, the plan is ruined. I think Trump at some level wants the Iranians to know that this is in play as well, which is what he just tweeted.
- [26:02]
B
The United States is in serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime. Great progress has been made. But if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately open for business, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells and Carg island, which we have so far, and he says possibly all desalinization plants as well so far. He says we haven't touched those areas. This will be retribution for our many soldiers and others that Iran has butchered and killed over the old regime's 47 year reign of terror. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, Buck, the other thing I wanted to play, and I do think this is interesting and I should say, by the way, Breca Stroll from the Daily Wire will join us at 1:30 Eastern to talk about the no Kings protest. And Kelly Leffler from President Trump's administration will be here in studio in the Nashville studio with me at 2:30 as there are a lot of Trump administration officials in the Nashville area right now, including Vice President J.D. vance. But Buck, listen to this. We're talking about, hey, what should happen in Iran. It's important to recognize the political ramifications of this. Michigan is having a Senate race, open Senate seat. They are picking both a Democrat and a Republican to run for this open seat. If Republicans were to win it, it would basically end any chance of Democrats taking back control of the Senate. This is one of the top Democrat contenders, a Michigan Senate candidate named Abdul El Sayed. And here he is on audio saying, I've got to avoid taking a public position on the assassination of Ayatollah Kamine, because there's lots of people in Michigan who are sad about it. Dearborn in particular. Listen to. Cut to.
- [28:09]
D
Oh, this is going to destabilize region. I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don't want to comment on Kimani Khamenei at all. Like, I, I don't think it's worth even touching that.
- [28:27]
B
This is where we are, Buck Democrats running for Senate seat in a battleground state like Michigan. This is him talking. This is one of the top three Senate candidates. There is audio of him saying, hey, too many people are sad. I can't even discuss the fact that we took out the ayatollah.
- [28:45]
A
If I were emperor of America and I found out that somebody was a Khomaniist, I would summarily expel them from the country.
- [28:55]
B
Yep.
- [28:56]
A
Now, I wish we could do that. We can't lawfully. If they're a US Citizen, we can't do that. But I'm talking about, even if you're, if you're a comanist and you're a US Citizen, I'd say, no, you know what? You're done. You're out. If only. Guys, we should elect me emperor of the universe. Because what that means, and this is what matters for our conversation here, what that means is that you hate America and you hate Jews and you hate Israel because it's not possible to support the Iranian regime without all of those. The regime, not the people. Without all of those things being true. I mean, it would be a little bit like, oh, my gosh, there are so many people who are sad about bin Laden getting taken out by SEAL Team Six. Okay, well, then you're an al Qaeda supporter or, you know, you're an Al Qaeda sympathizer. I mean, Khomeini is a vile terrorist piece of. You know what? That is just the. That is just reality. These are horrible people that ran a country into the ground. That should be a place that, Clay, you and I would say, hey, would be so fun to take our families back on vacation to Tehran. I know you hear that and it sounds absurd. It's only absurd because of the mullahs.
- [29:57]
B
Yes.
- [29:58]
A
People. You could go back and look at what it was like in the 50s and in the 70s, early 60s.
- [30:03]
B
I mean, the video of people. I mean, it was the chicks walking
- [30:06]

around in miniskirts and going to discotheques. Ok? That's what Iran was like. And then the Islamic lunatics took over the Islamic extremists and ruined the whole place. Just bad ideas can ruin any place. This is what you realize, whether it's communism, Islamism can ruin anything. Bernie Sanders ism.

Sorry, can we play that one more time? Because the other thing I love about this, Buck, is the staff saying, like, oh, yeah, great point. Like, listen to this. 17 seconds. Here it is. This is one of the leading candidates to be the Democrat representative in the state of Michigan saying we can't put out a statement because too many people are sad about Iran's leader getting taken out all over Dearborn just outside of Detroit.
- [30:51]
D
Oh, this is going to destabilize region. I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don't want to comment on
- [31:02]
C
at all.
- [31:03]
D
Like, I. I don't think it's worth even touching that.
- [31:08]
B
So, again, this is leaked from inside of his campaign, and he's one of the leading candidates right now. He could be the nominee for the Democrat Party for the open Senate seat in Michigan.
- [31:20]
A
I just want to know who these people are. I want. Why can't they just, you know, raise their hands? We should know who they are. You're upset that Khomeini's gone. I think that their fellow Iranian. Well, I'm assuming they're Iranian, but I think there are a lot of Iranian Iranian Americans who would like to know. Yeah, you're a Khomeniast. You should tell everybody about this. We should hear more about this. I actually think this guy at some level is. Well, he's just a leftist who is anti American, which is so common among Democrats, particularly among Democrats for whom anti whiteness is their primary fixation and focus. So being pro Khomeini is really just a way of being anti Jewish and anti American at the same time. So this is how they view these things. It's not about, is Iran a good regime, a bad regime. It's just, you know, you hate white supremacist America, quote, unquote. You hate Israel and the Jews because you actually view that as an extension of white supremacist America, which, as we've discussed, is not reality, but in any context. But that's how the left in this country thinks about it. So, yeah, it's pretty nuts. A lot of wackos running around here.
- [32:20]
B
Here's the craziest part, Buck. What if that actually benefits his campaign? That audio cut that we just played. What in that. Because there's a lot of people on the right who were saying this is negative for him. His odds have spiked in a positive direction. He's the second favorite right now to be the nominee on Kalshi and Paul.
- [32:40]
A
I don't think that's going to hurt him at all. I was assuming that's not going to hurt him at all. If you hate America because you're so anti Trump that you can't see anything beyond it, anything that is against Trump you are for. Right? So this is the way they view everything. So Trump is. Trump killed Khomeini and is trying to change the regime in Iran. Therefore, there are leftist maniacs in this country who are rooting for the regime and the continued suppression of the Iranian people and the continued terrorist tentacles all over the world and funding Hezbollah and funding Hamas and all the, you know, that's how they view the world. So it is a good versus evil thing. the end of the day, everybody, we all get to pick a side. You know what side we're on. All right, look, if you've got old VHS tapes or maybe those old Betacam video cassettes and you don't have a way to watch them because do you have a vcr? Here's an idea. Get them digitized with the help of Legacy Box. No one does this better than Legacy Box, and certainly not at the price that they can do it for $9 a tape. Right now, digitizing with Legacy Box means moving the contents from those old media that you can't watch anymore to the cloud or on a thumb drive. And it means you're able to see them on your phone, smart TV, laptop or iPad. And it's so easy to enjoy and share those memories once again when they're digitized. It's an easy process to Legacy Box makes it foolproof. I've done it. Clay's done it. Go to legacybox.com buck to get started. Now's a really good time to take advantage of their $9 a tape sale.

Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. We got a lot of calls coming in, got a lot of VIP emails. Want to get to them? We're going to talk more. No Kings protest Coming up next, no kings protest. It's really important that we all get together and stand against Trump because Trump is so mean. He's so mean to all these people who are just, just really upset. They're just really upset. Clay. Why can't people understand? We have Bill in Ohio, wants to talk about the Iran mission. Perhaps that may happen. What's going on, Bill?
- [35:09]
E
Yeah. Hi, guys. I have a different take on this story about Trump sending the troops in to get uranium. I think that this could possibly, possibly be a head fake by Trump. Now, the Iranians know that Trump is a little bit crazy and he would do anything. So they have to, they have to send their troops to these nuclear sites to defend against any attacks by Trump. And when the intelligence says, okay, the sites are defended, the IRGC is concentrated at these sites. Trump sends in the bombers and the fighters and just wipes everybody out at these sites. Because why would Trump announce that he was going to do something like this?
- [36:04]
A
Well, interesting. Because he's Trump. I mean, he does this kind of stuff, but. That's an interesting theory, Bill, but I think there's not. I don't know what kind of forces they think they would array to try to stop this. That's a good, that's a good point. Interesting idea. VIP email from Brad Clay. The RNC should set up voter registration at airports. Interesting.
- [36:26]
B
I don't. That's a. It's an interesting question. I was actually talking last night, I had a dinner with one of the top registration guys and we were talking about where you can get people registered. And I said, I don't understand why the RNC is not going hard at big college football games. Get as many of these kids registered in battleground states as you can. In a way that's super smart.
