some good news, Buck. Our number two underway. Let me hit you with a bunch of positivity, by the way. President Trump speaking right now in the White House live to military moms. We will see if he takes questions and certainly will update you if that occurs. Okay, so right off the top, the stock market is hitting record highs anew as the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, the Dow is close to a record high, all reacting positively to potential peace in Iran. We will see what different directions this may go before all is said and done. But the price of oil and gas down about 7 bucks today to about $95 a barrel. When the war started, gas was $68 a barrel. So this is significant to bring it back down. We talked yesterday about the idea that I threw out that some people liked and other people thought was crazy of the United States providing insurance to several of the tankers that are currently sitting, not moving in the Strait of Hormuz. And we will continue to update you on how that is going. But rest assured, if you have 401ks, April was one of the best months we have seen for, for stocks in years. Stock market skyrocketed and last year in April, you'll remember, they said, oh my goodness, President Trump's gonna destroy the economy. And the reality is that The S&P 500 is up 2400 points roughly since April of last year, which is a crazy increase over 40% just since then. So all of that is is underway on the economic front. Oil prices down and stock market to record high. So that is positive, Buck. Also positive. There is right now, I think, a significant chance that certainly many Southern states are going to be redrawing their congressional district maps and that that is going to have a potentially transformative impact on the House races coming up this fall. And let me tell you about this in particular the state of Tennessee while we are on the air and I was following it, I was trying to zoom in to look at all the different districts. The state of Tennessee, while we are on the air, has released a brand new map which would eliminate the so called Democrat racially gerrymandered seat in Memphis and would deliver the entire state of Tennessee 9 to 0 from 8 to 1 for the Republican Party. Louisiana is redrafting and redrawing the lines in its state. Alabama is doing the same. South Carolina is as well. And so the impact here can end up being pretty substantial when you combine it with what went on down in Florida where DeSantis redrew the maps. And we talked about with the House speaker yesterday that new map. Buck, let me also tell you this. There is.
- [06:36]
A
I'm just. I'm being hit with tidal waves of positivity. I'm like, oh my gosh, everything's so good, Clay. I can't handle all the good things. Keep it coming.
- [06:44]
C
There is, I think, a lot of nervousness in Virginia about whether the map that they voted on to make a 10 to 1 advantage in Virginia is going to be legal. And as we are speaking, the FBI has raided the Senate pro tem of Virginia, the Democrat who is near the top of the Virginia state senior Senate. And there are substantial allegations of wrongdoing there having to do with a lot of different fraud. Now, all of that, I would also put this in the positive category. Last night in Indiana, we called these guys out. We had Senator Banks on. We might need to have him on again because he led the charge on this. He may be listening right now as he's driving around in Indiana. Senator Banks said it's unacceptable what the Indiana Senate did. State Senate. And there are other many different of you listening to us right now who are Republicans in Indiana that were very frustrated by this too. Indiana, as you see, raw, naked partisan politics from so many different blue states and even purple states like Virginia, where Democrats currently have control. Indiana said, we don't want to violate norms. We're not going to redistrict the Senate. I think the House passed it, the Senate there. Several of the Republican senators said no. They basically got wiped out last night in the primary. And many of these races, Buck, were not remotely close. Five of them have lost their seats. One of them is, I am told, going to lose his seat. Before all is said and done, we'll see six of them swept out. And I think that a lot of people in Indiana are waking up this morning and saying we're tired of having sort of. What I would say, Buck, is the country club Republican element that has been unwilling to actually realize the fight that we're in. And so I just gave you a long litany. I know there's a lot of negativity news and everything else, but sometimes all the positive gets snowed under. There's a lot of really positive things happening right now.
- [08:59]
A
That was quite a list, I would say. Very, very impressive. Do you want me to bring us all down now?
- [09:04]
C
Now? What do you have? What's the wamp, wamp that you've got to.
- [09:09]
A
Well, for one thing, this Iran negotiation, the framework of a deal that's going to leave the nukes till later. I told you guys, this is what was going to happen the whole time there as they're basically going to settle for. The strait is opened and hostilities have ceased and we'll figure out the nuclear part later, which means the nuclear part's never really going to be figured out. That's. That's what I think ends up happening with that. But I could be wrong. And other than that, I would like to see some mass deportations which have not really happened. Not hearing a lot about that right now. That was a major promise of 2024 and it feels like that has been pushed a little the wayside. I do think the gas prices are going to, are going to start to come down substantially. I agree with that. So I don't have any. I'm trying to think of what else I could be really negative about. I'm looking for negativity right now. We're all going to die. That is true. Sorry. We're all going to die. That is a reality.
- [10:05]
C
Hopefully not for. Hopefully not very soon.
- [10:08]
A
Hopefully not from high gas prices. You know, that was. I want to tie all these things together. But no, look, I think that last night was actually encouraging. The result in Indiana is encouraging for a lot of people who felt like Republicans.
- [10:21]
C
Here's the problem.
- [10:22]
A
We've seen some of the worst Republican politicians we get.
- [10:26]
C
And by worst, I will, I'll be specific here.
- [10:29]
A
I mean the ones that are the, the quickest to betray important promises made to the base that they made, perhaps even to get elected. Some of the worst Republicans come from red states, very red states. And there's a frustration, I think, for a lot and that I'm talking about a lot of you right now who go through this with, you know, so we vote and we get these Republicans in and they don't do anything people vote for. They don't pay attention to the primary. We get these rhinos. Ok, well, there was something of a, of a capturing of the rhinos that occurred last night. And in Indiana, I know it's only a state Senate issue, but it affects Congress. So that's why it's a national issue, because the redistricting, it shows you that there can be consequences for this. Clay, I don't think another red state legislature is going to say we don't want to do redistricting because that would be mean. Which is really the, really the argument that, remember we were in Indiana actually right around when this was going down. We were asking people, they're like, hold on a second, why aren't they doing it? Like, oh, it's not collegial and feels like it's a little bit of spiking the football in the Democrats face. It's like, can we do that times a thousand. Why aren't we doing that?
- [11:44]
C
Yeah, look, I think what happened was Virginia ended those guys political career. Trump was a big part of it. But I think a lot of Indiana Republicans saw what the nakedly partisan move of Virginia and they said, you can't just keep getting punched in the face and say, well, that wasn't very nice. Why? You just broke my nose. There's blood running down my face. I wish you hadn't done that. But oh, well, you violated protocols. I'm going to remain nonviolent. That's tough to take. Right. And so metaphorically speaking, we're getting punched in the face time after time. And I think a lot of people are fed up with it. I think Tennessee's fed up with it. Tennessee just said, hey, we're going to have a 90 state. We're going to make ourselves redder than we've ever been before. And you know what the great thing about this is, Buck? The entire original basis of federalism in this country was every state should be a laboratory. And states that make good decisions are going to get more people moving into them and are going to have more economic success. And states that make poor decisions are going to have fewer people moving there and are going to have less economic success. And I think we're getting a great experiment in federalism right now because the states that are red are, are giving the people more economic freedom, lower taxes. You know what that's leading to? Better schools. We haven't talked about it. Have you seen the data coming out of Mississippi? Everybody has been kicking Mississippi in the teeth for years. They make fun of Mississippi, say Mississippi is not doing well. Mississippi is kicking everybody's ass in school now. And even, even a New York Times columnist came out and said, wait a minute, black kids in Mississippi now are outperforming black kids in California. This is kind of a big story because California is spending way more money to educate kids, and yet black kids in Mississippi are trouncing black kid performance in California. Again, the federalism argument here. It's a great story. The Mississippi miracle. We talked about it with Linda McMahon on this program. You know what Mississippi said. Let's just get back to basic phonics.
- [13:58]
A
We have cut 22. Nicholas Kristoff, who's a whiny lib, but he says something that's correct here. Play it
- [14:06]
E
in our blue places where we have governance, we have every bit as much of an affordability crisis, in part because of a stranglehold of regulations. And, you know, we talk a good game about the importance of education, and yet a black kid in Mississippi is two and a half times as likely to be proficient in math and reading by fourth grade as a black kid in California. And so, I mean, do we need to look a little bit less at what the Trump administration is doing to harm working class families and look a little more in the mirror?
- [14:45]
C
Man.
- [14:46]
A
Can I just say, their real answer, Clay, is they don't want to do that. They just want to say Trump is awful.
- [14:52]
C
That's right.
- [14:53]
A
Because the Democrat Party has truly become a party of Trump derangement syndrome. Because it's so easy. Because what are you going to say? What are you going to say to Democrats in California who vote for you when it's, hey, the black kids in Mississippi, in their school system in Mississippi are doing great. And our black kids here in California in the, you know, the pinnacle of blue state governance and wealth, I might add. Mississippi is not a wealthy state. No, that's are way behind the Mississippi kids. How do you explain that to the base of the Democrat Party?
- [15:24]
C
It's a, it's a great story. It's a great story. I mean, and, and Mississippi should be taking victory laps and everybody should be looking at Mississippi and saying how something you didn't expect a year. How can we educate our kids as well as Mississippi is? But I mean, again, I think this is just a function. Governor Tate Reeves, the choices that they have made in Mississippi have benefited everybody. And by the way, most of those kids in Mississippi, the black kids, a lot of their parents are voting Democrat, but they're getting the benefit of Republican politics. And if I'm sitting around in California right now and I'm a black mom and dad and I'm paying high taxes and I'm sending my kids to California schools and I hear that Mississippi schools are dominating the performance that my kids are getting. I got a lot of questions to ask. And it goes to your point, Buck, if you actually have to provide results, the results of Democrat policies make everything worse for everybody. That's the reality.
- [16:29]
A
Yeah, absolutely. That is, that is the summation, sir. Counselor, the case rests. I mean that's.
- [16:36]
C
But if you put it to your point, it is interesting to think about when Trump's gone and the Great Satan and they can't point to him and everything else, what did Democrats actually stand for? That's going to be something they really have to grapple with, I think in 28. Because just like any party that hates Trump is not actually, first of all very good in terms of policy, but also it doesn't exist anymore.
- [16:57]
A
Well, this is like if you start to push some of these left wing socialist types today on any of these issues, if they'll even engage, which they usually won't, you say what exactly have you guys accomplished? And they'll be like, you know, the eight hour workday. And it's like, wasn't it like 100 years ago? What have you guys done lately other than just mess everything up? All you do is mess everything up.
- [17:15]
C
Exactly. That you do here as, as one famous Bob's. Yeah. Might have said back in the day.

- [22:03]
A
What's going on? Don?
- [22:05]
E
Hi guys. Thank you for taking my call. Clan Buck been listening to you both in the show and individually for years.
- [22:12]
A
Many thank you sir. Excellent taste.
- [22:16]
E
Yeah, thank you. I'm a truck driver and ah, we
- [22:22]
A
love our truckers, man. We love you guys. Three hours a day. So many of you. Sorry. Keep going.
- [22:27]
E
Well, I appreciate it. I'm on my. I'm actually in Missouri now. I crossed state lines heading down for delivery and you guys were talking about mom, Donnie and socialists or Democrats not understanding capitalism. And I want to respectfully disagree. When they asked Willie Sutton why he robs banks, he said because that's where the money is. And Democrats absolutely understand capitalism. But as Margaret Thatcher once said, the problem with socialism is you always run out of other people's money. And thank you for.
- [23:08]
A
Thank you for calling in Don. It is a great quote, I think to be just to clarify a little bit there. Appreciate your call. Thank you for listening. We're saying that they don't understand how business functions. We understand that they understand that capitalism creates a lot of money. They just, they're thieves. I believe. Our friend Jesse Kelly just recently I saw a clip of him. He's like, you gotta understand they just want to take your stuff. Like they have the thieve, they have the thief mindset. And that is true. They just want to Take your stuff. They want to come up with some rationale to take your stuff and say that it should go to them or someone else.
- [23:42]
C
And then the math here does ultimately matter because that's why I'm focused on people who. It's not a surprise the more money you make, the more taxes you pay. Unfortunately, because of federal income taxes, all of us are required to pay a lot of, uh, if you're in the top 50% of earners, you pay a lot of federal income tax. Bottom 50% pays nothing. In fact, many of them actually get our money given to them. That's a whole nother story. All right, but on the actual tax for local jurisdictions, when you leave, there aren't that many people, when you actually look at the raw numbers, who make massive amounts of money that are funding New York City, Louisiana, Chicago. Driving them out is destroying your fabric of your community, which is what Mamdani is doing.

of his run for president. He's got a lot of money, which he's did some self funding of his campaign already based on the campaign disclosures. How are you feeling about that governor's race? Is that also really just. He has to stay the course. Trump will show up and we'll get it done.
- [25:37]
E
I think so. And Vivek's good on this stomp. I mean, he's out there talking about how Ohio wants to move to get rid of the income tax, which I think is great. He's talking about school choice, he's talking about things that I think are good, important issues for families in this state. And he's running against Amy Acton, who is, as you guys know, has been given the Name the Fauci of Ohio because she was the health director for former governor or soon to be former Governor DeWine during the whole Covid stuff. And she was almost as bad as Fauci. I mean, I remember she wanted to close golf courses for goodness sake. So you know what? Golfing is the definition of social distancing for goodness. And she was one that.
- [26:16]
C
Especially when you see my shots, Congressman, I'm off on my own a lot.
- [26:21]
E
Yeah, exactly. So it's like, I feel good about that race, too. And then we have the 9th district up in the Toledo area. Varsity Kaptor has been in Congress, you know, forever, and we got a chance, I think, to win that race as well. So, you know, I feel pretty good in this redistricting effort that's going to now happen in the south in light of the Supreme Court decision. I think that's going to help us. And so I think we can sort of defy the historical trend and maintain the House and the Senate.
- [26:47]
C
The Senate, obviously, for people out there who aren't paying attention, if Ohio holds on, on the Republican side, there's basically no math that allows the Democrats to take control of the Senate. I think you certainly see the map on both the House and the Senate side.
- [27:03]
E
But.
- [27:03]
C
But that for people who may not be paying attention, the road to a majority for Democrats has to run through Ohio.
- [27:11]
E
Yeah, you're exactly right. I mean, you know, if we. If we can't, you know, keep North Carolina, if we. If we don't take Georgia, if we would even lose Maine, and, you know, if we. If we don't pick up Michigan, which I think we. I don't know. I don't think that's necessarily what the outcome is going to be. You're exactly right, Clay. That. That for the Democrats to get there, they got to get our say. And I think that's why, you'll see, you know, I think the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee already reserved like, $79 million for TV ads for. For Sherrod Brown here in Ohio. So it's going to be much like the last go around where Senator Moreno and Senator McCormick are good senators from Ohio. Pennsylvania, there was. Those were like, the most expensive races ever. I expect Ohio to be just like that.
- [27:55]
A
Speaking of Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio, I think you've got a hearing coming up. Right. On legal dealing with some illegal immigration stuff, sanctuary city policies. We talk about that issue that in the economy, I think, are the two most common things for us to talk about overall here on the show, there was Huge focus on it. In year one of the Trump presidency. I think we got the Iran conflict, got some other things that have been getting a lot of attention recently. Are these deportations happening? Is the administration still focused on this? It feels like there's been a little bit of a let off, let off the gas pedal. Maybe after Minneapolis and those lunatics confronting ICE people, ISA agents.
- [28:36]
E
No, I think there's still the focus and certainly we have the focus. We've passed the Sanctuary Jurisdiction Shutdown act out of our committee a few weeks back. We want that to be on the House floor here in the coming weeks and hopefully even get to the Senate and pass and become law. But I think it's important to understand what the Democrats have been doing. I mean, think about their plan. First it was four years of just wide open border, 10 million migrants coming into the country. Then they create sanctuary jurisdictions, which makes it difficult to remove those migrants when they commit another crime. And then they say, oh, we're not going to fund the guys who do the removing, we're not going to fund ice. I mean, that's their plan. And now we have this guy and we just wrote this guy a letter to get information from this Krasner DA in Philadelphia, one of these left wing DA's. He's now threatening to arrest ICE agents. So first let in 10 million, then make it tough to apprehend them and deport them if they commit another crime. Then don't fund ICE and now, oh, we're going to go arrest you. As if it was, you know, it wasn't enough that they, they were the left wing agitators were spitting on him and yelling at him and swearing at him and threatening them and doxing them and tracking them and all that stuff they did to him while they're out doing their job. That's how ridiculous it's gotten. So we're looking into both the DA in Arlington, Virginia there, or some of the crazy things going on there. Letting these illegal migrants who've done crimes, letting them back out on the street instead of honoring the detainer. And the same with this Krasner guy in Philadelphia.
- [29:57]
C
What did you think about the fraud story the Daily Wire came out with rooted in Ohio? Obviously, we've seen a lot of fraud stories. Minnesota was first up a lot in California. But I think the fact that a state like Ohio, which as you mentioned is a red state that has gone for President Trump by substantial amounts, the fact that Ohio could have a lot of fraud is a sign of just how systemic and epidemic like this entire fraud world is when it comes to healthcare.
- [30:27]
E
Yeah, exactly. And, and you know, the second, I think the second largest Somali population in the country is in the Columbus, Ohio area. And so you had sort of the same kind of thing that was going on in Minneapolis happening there. And now in Ohio is different because, you know, you got, you got Republicans, but also at the local level where you need to prosecute. Of course, Franklin county and the city of Columbus are Democrats, so I want to look into this more. But, yeah, this is as serious as it gets. And it looks like it could be every bit as bad as what was going on up in, up in Minneapolis. So I expect our Oversight Committee to do some, under Chairman Comer, do some work on this area as well and find out what we can about all this Medicaid fraud. But we knew this was Medicaid. You knew it was the case. Elon with Doge understood this, but the left always, oh, healthcare, healthcare. But when it's fraud, what you're doing is if you can stop that, you're actually going to help the people who truly qualify and who are in need of, of the Medicaid dollars.

You know, interestingly, there's many different things going on, but I'm sure you saw Arkansas cut their men's and women's tennis program. I think you and I were texting about it. College sports are just under siege. The, the budgets are falling apart. I talked about it on my FS1 show. That's going to be up a little bit later today. You've been fighting on this, among many other things. What's the latest there?
- [31:51]
E
Well, we think we're going to get the SCORE act on the floor sometime later this month. That's talking with leaders, police. That's the goal. I feel like we got to get to use the sports and we got to get a ball in play. You got to get some bill passed, one of that, one of the branch, you know, the House of the Senate. Get something where, okay, now we're going to negotiate, work with the Senate and see if we can get something to President Trump's desk that will help the situation. But yet when you see that, it's just so expensive. I don't know this for sure, but my guess is McIntosh, the ad Wisconsin where I went to school, you know, he left and he went to the Big Ten conference and maybe he's saying, like, it's just such a mess. I want to go to the, one of the conferences where they seem to be doing okay. I don't Know that was his reasoning, but you start to see all these things. Arkansas dropping men's and women's tennis and you know, just. I hate to see it because, you know, that's, that's where our Olympic movement comes from, these college athletes. And it just, it's just frustrating. So hopefully we'll get that, get that pass and get moving.

in here to play and fuck. Give us a ring. 800-282-2882 Also, we will get to a bunch of talkbacks. Do we have any live callers in line right this moment? You have the we do.

C
We've got a bunch that want to weigh in on the California situation. And then we've got a ton of talkbacks. You guys have been sending us some amazing ones. We'll get to those in the third hour. But Dennis, in Campo, California, you say you can see the border from your home is the sewage problem. We were talking about this awful sewage problem in the San Diego area. Has it gotten worse how you assess it?
- [39:29]
E
Well, Clay, yeah, it's gotten much worse and our local TV stations are focusing on it, but we're not getting any help from governor Newsom. We've sent delegations up. He says it's a federal problem. The federal administrators have come and looked at it. They've thrown A couple of dollars added to just duct tape. What's going on over there? And now they would have put a new tax on the November ballot to make San Diego citizens pay for repairs to the Tijuana water treatment plant. Just a patch now it's a million gallons a day going into the ocean. On the TV show, they show toilet paper. Yes, I know. Family show turds floating down high chairs, toilet seats, all kinds of trash. And you cannot get within 100 yards of it without wanting to vomit. It's really terrible playing buck.
- [40:39]
A
Yeah, I tell. You know, in my book Manufacturing Delusion, I actually have a chapter where I start off talking about the border, immigration, but specifically standing with border patrol at that border fence. Before Trump came in and reinforced it, the fence was like a five foot tall kind of rusted out, rickety thing you could just walk through or jump over. But you look on the American side of the border and it's clean and quiet and orderly for the most part. And you just look across onto the Tijuana side of the border and it is an absolute third world mess.
- [41:14]
C
Yeah.
- [41:14]
A
You have to ask the same geography, same piece of land, why is this like the difference between north and South Korea? Like, why is one side of this nice and the other side of it is very not nice?
- [41:25]
C
I guess it's also unfortunate, I presume, that the ocean streams in that particular area move, tend to move north. Right. So you. I, that's my presumption. If we have a Tijuana situation where Mexican trash is shutting down American beaches, I just feel like it should be a bigger story. But I think it's also emblematic of California's inability to solve things. You can't keep the beaches open, you can't let people rebuild in a spectacularly, naturally beautiful area of Los Angeles like the Palisades that was utterly destroyed. And Christy in Utah grew up on the West Coast. Christie, I don't know what your age is, but. But I imagine that you've seen things get progressively worse as it's become more and more of a one party state.
- [42:15]
E
Yeah, I did both. My parents are from California. My mom was raised in L. A, My dad was raised in the Bay Area. I grew up in Washington Central Washington, a town called Yakima. And we spent a ton of time in la, San Francisco and Seattle. I actually lived in LA myself for eight years. And during COVID because it got so scary. I moved back to Utah because I came here to go to school. So I would say the Seattle that I saw when I was growing up is not the same that it is now. It was one of the most beautiful cities on earth and it wasn't called the Emerald City for nothing. Louisiana is a city that's near and dear, close to my heart. And I spent a ton of time in San Francisco and they're all just, they're all just exploding. It's just super depressing to watch what these beautiful cities have become.
- [43:11]
C
I thank you for the call, Christy. And I think this is one of the things that's starting to unite a lot of people. Leave aside politics. When you are trying to go to a playground and there's homeless people, there's needles, there's filth, for lack of a better way to describe it. I just wonder what's it going to take for people to say enough. You grew up in a city that finally said enough. And Rudy Giuliani, followed by Bloomberg, came in and really cleaned up New York City in a way that has allowed it to thrive and flourish. And it's like people just don't realize that their choices have consequences and so they're a member of a tribe and they won't acknowledge the things the tribe's making. Awful choices.
- [44:00]
A
Yeah, people don't want to admit that they've been wrong this whole time either. That's another part of it. And also give up the unearned virtue of supporting these policies. Like, yeah, I'm a nice person. So of course I think that homeless people should be able to live in tent encampments on the street as long as it's not where I live.
- [44:20]
C
Yeah.
- [44:21]
A
Which is really that nodded. My back yard philosophy is unfortunately central to so many Democrats all over the country. I don't want people to have to any. There's nothing that I want for other people that is a bad thing. Or rather, there's nothing I want for other people that you know. Myself, I would say, eh, you know, I'm not gonna go with that. It's like you're either on principle or you're playing a game.
