Episode Overview

This episode centers around the fallout and cultural significance of the recent “No Kings” rallies, protests critical of President Trump and broader conservative policies. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton examine the motivations, composition, and impact of these protests, with a special segment featuring Daily Wire reporter Brecker Stoll, who attended several rallies. The conversation expands to wider themes of victimization culture, identity politics, ideological divides between left and right, and protest funding. The hosts also field listener questions and touch on national security concerns regarding Iran.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. No Kings Rally Recap: Ideology, Signs, and Identity Politics

• Buck and Clay open by critiquing the ideological confusion at a recent “No Kings” protest.
  • Buck Sexton (02:45): “No one can be here illegally because we are not here legally, has got to be one of the all-time takes…It makes sense in that it makes no sense.”
• The hosts point to how modern progressive arguments combine elements (“stolen land,” “no one is illegal”) into what they define as logically incoherent but emotionally potent slogans.
  • Clay Travis (03:14): “If you control the story of American history, then you can make arguments for the illegitimate nature of everything in the United States…There should be no borders, right?”

2. Victimization, Virtue Signaling & the Nature of Modern Protesters

• Buck frames the protester mindset as performative “moral preening” seeking unearned virtue rather than policy change (04:13–05:30).
  • Buck Sexton (04:13): “It is virtue signaling. It is moral preening. It is, look at me. I care about things that I will not change today based on things that someone else did a long time ago.”
• The pair lambast what they see as a culture obsessed with being oppressed for social status, emphasizing psychological reward over practical outcomes.

3. Race, Discrimination, and Modern American Experience

• Responding to a protest interview about Black women's rights and medical discrimination, the hosts challenge the narrative that discrimination is pervasive among younger generations.
  • Clay Travis (07:19): “If you are a black woman…the data actually reflects that you have been rewarded merely for being black. Instead of being a victim, you have been given rewards based on your race and gender that you did nothing other than be born to receive.”
  • Buck Sexton (09:05): “You’ve actually experienced racism in your favor. Which is now something that needs to be said a whole lot more.”
• The hosts argue contemporary policies (affirmative action, education, employment) favor minorities and that victimhood culture has overtaken genuine grievance among younger generations.

4. Composition & Motivation of Protesters

• The conversation turns to the age and demographic makeup of protesters (“a lot of shrill, unhappy looking people” – Buck Sexton 06:05).
• Brecker Stoll’s Observations (21:05):
  • "They're honestly all pretty much united by a hatred for President Trump. Like you said, a lot of older people…No Kings does seem to draw out that older crowd."
  • The rallies are heavily organized and infrastructurally supported, not the grassroots gatherings they appear to be.
  • Discussion of a planned national strike on May 1 as announced at the rally (22:29).

5. Funding and Organizing the Protests

• Buck Sexton (23:38): Raises questions about the funding from wealthy leftist foundations that provide an infrastructure and identical protest signage nationwide.
• Brecker Stoll (24:19): Points to organizational leadership (States at the Core) emerging prior to 2024 (“shows you that this is really against President Trump and not necessarily any issues…”).

6. Impact on Younger Generations & 2026 Midterms

• Despite the age of attendees, the anti-Trump message is believed to resonate among younger people via social media exposure.
  • Brecker Stoll (26:28): "…this message, this anti-Trump message, is resonating with younger people…Republicans should be nervous coming into midterms if this message is resonating with younger Americans."

7. Safety, Press Relations, and Protest Culture

• Brecker describes generally safe conditions at protests, but notes hostility can arise towards press from right-leaning outlets when questions become pointed or challenge mainstream protest narratives.
  • “What rights of yours are being taken away? And then immediately, what outlet are you with?...A simple question…then puts me in question, then her ultimately saying that maybe I don't have the right to be there as the press.” (Brecker Stoll, 31:46)
• Humorous advice from Buck: arm yourself with a "pocket constitution" and "red meat" to ward off hostile protesters (32:10).

8. Broader Strategic Value of the Protests

• Comparisons drawn to prior Democrat mobilization efforts (e.g., January 6th hearings) as a template for rallying the base and driving voter turnout.
  • Buck Sexton (28:10): “It's Saul Alinsky. Get people out there in the streets shouting and screaming about something that makes them feel good…”
  • Brecker Stoll (28:59): Emphasizes the uncertain political payoff—will the street demonstrations translate to votes in the midterms?

9. Listener Call-in: Intelligence on Iran’s Uranium

• Host and caller discuss the logistical and intelligence challenges associated with seizing Iranian uranium (35:07–37:42).
  • Clay Travis (36:20): “If we did seize this uranium successfully…this would at least point to once and for all Iran was trying to enrich uranium and create a nuclear weapon.”

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Buck Sexton on Protest Logic:

  • “It has all the intellectual seriousness of a bad John Lennon song.” (04:13)

• Clay Travis on Victimization:

  • “The people who were actually victims are far less likely to claim that they are victims than the people who have actually benefited from discrimination in their favor.” (12:10)

• Brecker Stoll on Protester Attitudes:

  • “I did hear protesters alluding to the death of President Trump…I asked her when she thinks that might happen, she responded…‘sooner rather than later.’ Then she started laughing, which is pretty alarming to hear…” (22:29)

• Buck Sexton’s Satire:

  • “You just need a pocket constitution and you hold that up and…it’s just like in the vampire movies…Also, if you have…red meat, they hate red meat. [They] will shriek and catch on fire and run away like vampires.” (32:10)

Summary

This episode dives deep into the symbolism and strategy behind anti-Trump “No Kings” rallies, using field reports, protester interviews, and data to question modern protest logic, funding, and impact. Clay and Buck reject the premise of contemporary victimhood, allege systemic bias in favor of minorities since the 1970s, and argue the rallies are more about performance than policy. The discussion concludes with concerns over Iran’s nuclear buildup, all delivered in the hosts’ characteristic mix of sardonic wit and political conviction.

[Buck Sexton]

Welcome in second hour of play and buck gets going right now we got the White House briefing is going to be starting shortly. We'll bring you any highlights, any important breaking news from that as we are here live with all of you. Also looking at those TSA lines give you some real time updates as we can. Looking like still very much under control. TSA lines are not the nightmarish 4 hour stand hurry up and wait marathons that they had previously been. Because Democrats do not want illegal alien criminals to be lawfully processed under our federal statutes and removed from this country. They completely oppose that idea, which is interesting because it's the law, but they don't care. Does the law matter to them? No, it does not. So now we have some other things to get to as well, Clay. We have the no Kings rally from over the weekend which I think should be called the March of the Malcontents. This is just people who are unhappy and upset and Democrats are a party driven by first and foremost emotion. Republicans say what you want about them, but we try to focus on reason, prior experience. We try to focus on what has worked, what will work, what is likely to be true. Now, in the general sense of things, Democrats are. This is how I feel. And they get very upset about whatever the issue may be. And here's a perfect example of this, Clay. A no Kings rally attendee. I mean you could do this all day, but this was. I'm trying to see who give them credit. It was a Fox affiliate put this out. A no Kings rally attendee is combining the stolen land thing with the no one's illegal thing with all kinds of stuff. This is, this is cut four. Play it. So you young ladies, you have signs first. Tell us about your signs.

[Howie Mandel]

Yes, my sign says no one is illegal on stolen land.

[Buck Sexton]

Wow.

[Brecker Stoll]

It's so true.

[Clay Travis]

Tell me about that.

[Howie Mandel]

Well, no one. We are on stolen land and you can't be illegal on it. It Just doesn't make sense, Clay.

[Buck Sexton]

No one can be here illegally because we are not here legally. Has got to be one of the all time takes from the no Kings rally attendee here. But it makes sense in that it makes no sense and none of the things they say make any sense.

[Clay Travis]

It also goes to a lot of what we've talked about on this program, which is if you control the story of American history, then you can make arguments for the illegitimate nature of everything in the United States. Because if we are on stolen ground and if we are, if we ever had slavery here, then we are in a position where there is no moral authority to justify anything. And obviously the implication of her entire statement is, which I wish the person interviewing her had followed up on. There should be no borders, right? If we're on stolen ground and no one can be illegal, then the logical extension of that argument in her mind is there should be no borders at all, I guess, on any countries, anywhere in the world. Because basically all land is stolen, if you, however you want to define it. Unless it's land that no one has ever resided on before. I guess.

[Buck Sexton]

Also what are we supposed to do about said stolen land? This is another part of this and I don't want to spend too much time on it because it is so absurd. Really. The Democrat ethos can be boiled down. It has all the intellectual seriousness of a bad John Lennon song. Imagine with no borders. Imagine stolen land. It's all crap, ok? It's nonsense. It's a total waste of everyone's time. But I also would want to know if this is the position that they're going to take. What are we supposed to do about it? The point is nothing. No one will do anything about it. But it is meant as a show. It is virtue signaling. It is moral preening. It is, look at me. I care about things that I will not change today based on things that someone else did a long time ago. And now I take a bow for nothing. And this is unfortunately a very powerful, very potent force among these Democrats because these are unserious people who are unhappy. And unserious, unhappy people will look for any opportunity to feel better about themselves with unearned virtue, with an unearned esteem. And that's what the Democrat party, so many of the causes come down to agree with us on this. And you're a good person. Why shut up. Because the people on the television tell us that? Or because the people on the Internet are saying so? Here is. But we're going to have Daily Wire reporter Brecker Stoll with us in just a little bit. Here she is, Clay, at the DC Note. Remember, there's a whole bunch of these, but there was a huge one in New York City. My family walked through it in New York or walked past it and told me that, you know, it's exactly what you would expect. It's a lot of shrill, unhappy looking people. That's really the primary demographic. Here's the DC No Kings protest. This is Cut five. This is Brecke Stole, who will be with us in a little bit. Talk about it, play it.

[Howie Mandel]

Waking up every day as a black woman is such a political act. So that in itself is exhausting. But, like, the fight never stops. I can't wait until this is behind us and we don't have to worry about people dying in ICE custody. We don't have to worry about losing our rights as women, as black people, as any marginalized group. So gotta represent.

[Brecker Stoll]

Yeah. And how are those rights being taken away right now?

[Howie Mandel]

How are they being taken away right now? So literally, just like I have teachers as friends, and they are struggling to try to educate our kids in classrooms. So because of what this administration is doing, black women are pretty much being murdered in medical professions where we go to seek medical care. And that research is being defunded.

[Buck Sexton]

Clay, if emotional stability and linear thinking were requirements for voting, I truly believe the Republican party would get 80 to 90% of the vote. 80 to 90%.

[Clay Travis]

I mean, I give credit to Brecker, who's going to join us here in a little bit for asking the questions. Follow up, you make your argument, and then you say, okay, what evidence do you have for that? I. The real essence of this is if you have been born. I think this is so true. If you have been born, I bet you would sign on to this. Since 1970, in the United States, there is virtually no discrimination whatsoever that you have faced. And frankly, if you are a black woman, the data actually reflects that you have been rewarded merely for being black. In other words, instead of being a victim, you have been given rewards based on your race and gender that you did nothing other than be born to receive. And obviously, this is. The entire idea is we have to address past racial wrongs by creating racism in favor of people who've been discriminated against in the past. That's. That's really the essence of it. But, Buck, would you sign off on that? I don't know how old that woman is, but based on her voice, I would guess that she's 35, 40 years old. So that would mean that she was born in 1980, 1985, whatever the math is on that. To be able to figure out where she was, she might have been born in 1990. This is one of the craziest ideas out there. If you're 95 years old and you're black in this country, I think you have a reason to have grievance based on your early life. Life and how you were treated. I think that is fair. If you're under 50, you have only benefited off of the fact that of whatever your race is, if you've actually. You've actually experienced. Benefited, you.

[Buck Sexton]

You've actually experienced racism in your favor.

[Clay Travis]

Correct.

[Buck Sexton]

Which is now something that needs to be said a whole lot more. And because this is a fact, this is true, and the Supreme Court has affirmed this, but it's also true because it's true. We all know that there were changes in policy made explicitly to put black and Latino individuals, particularly female individuals, into elite universities and into elite positions in medical school and law school and into the workforce in jobs that they would not have gotten or positions that they would not have gotten were they of a different race, white or Asian, particularly. Those are the ones that have been discriminated against. This is a fact. This is reality. It's happened in broad scale. We all knew this. And Clay, one of the reasons that I've always said this, one of the ways that I knew that I was a conservative was I went to a scholarship high school. So it was entirely free, and it was very, very competitive admission for the high school in New York. Regis, Many of you know the school if you're from the New York area. And the average income in my class was below the average American household income. So you had a lot of people who were working class. I mean, that was the stand. It was working class kids. But if you had a working class kid with great grades and really high test scores, this was the place you could go. If you were Catholic, it was only for Catholic kids. And I just remember very early on it was like, well, if you're here and you're black or you're Latino, it's basically pick your Ivy League school. But if you're one of the Asian or white kids here, you know, let's see if Holy Cross can give you some money. You know, let's see what suny's got for you in terms of the scholarship. Not to throw shade at those institutions, but they're not hyper elite. And it was just a very different. Now that. That wasn't true, there were like 10 kids a year went to Harvard for my class. But the point is very different standards of it. And I just said, this is not right. It's very straight. It was a very straightforward thing. I was a kid, I'm like, no, this isn't right. My friend who's the son of Korean immigrants whose parents literally own a dry cleaner out in Queens, he has like perfect SATs, but he'll be lucky to get into like a second tier school, comparatively to a kid who's black in my class. That's not right. There's no way to. There's no way to explain that to me. Where I go, you know what? You're right. The history of discrimination, this is going to. It's all crap. It was all lie. It was all nonsense. But you see this with the no Kings protest, Clay. You have all these people for whom the one thing, the one great fear in their lives is actually personal accountability. And I don't mean that in the Vegas sense. I mean that in what are you doing every day? Are you working hard? Are you taking care of your people? Are you. Are you an active member of your church, your synagogue, your mosque, whatever? Are you being a person of. Being a person who is dependable and who deserves respect and who's making good choices, or are you a person, and this is what I think the no Kings rally is full of, who just always wants an excuse. It's always somebody else, always some other fault, always the. Whether it's the. The white guy or it's the Republican Party or it's Trump or it's a systemic racism or it's stolen land or whatever. It's always some wine in place of action. And that's why it never gets better.

[Clay Travis]

Correct. And again, I would just, I think when you hear that interview, think about that in the context. I know some of you are older, but think about that in the context of the life that anyone who is basically 50 or under has lived in. In America, there is no discrimination except discrimination in your favor if you are a minority. And so this constant victimization culture, the people who were actually victims are far less likely to claim that they are victims than the people who have actually benefited from discrimination in their favor. And I think that's because they've bought into this idea which is the root of the Democrat Party these days, where everything is based on identity politics and you are oppressed, basically, if you're anyone other than a white male. Now, white women sometimes also are included there, but by and large, white Men are evil. And we all have to assess where victimization culture should, how you rank it on the oppression pyramid. And this woman is completely bought into it. And then when you ask her, okay, what's actually happened, what, you know, what she says? Black people are getting killed by medical care. Really? That would be quite a surprise. I think there are a lot of med malpractice attorneys out there that would say, hey, can I get those cases? Because if it were actually happening, it would be a tremendous boon to their practice and there would be a lot of consequences. We'll come back. By the way, we're going to talk about with, with Breckestrol, who was actually there at the protest. See what she thought about it. And I would just reiterate, it's a tremendous success. Yesterday they protested against kings, and today we woke up and there are no kings. What a tremendous, incredible, impactful moment it all was. Buck, I think you got us.

[Buck Sexton]

I do indeed. But turns out there are no kings. And also, there are a lot of wimps out there in these rallies. So just remember that, all right? Born on America's darkest day of September 11, the tunnel of the Towers foundation has been helping America's heroes ever since. Heroes like fire cap Andrew Donner. Inspired by the bravery of New York city firefighters on 9 11, Andrew devoted his life to serving his community. He rose through the ranks of his fire department, sharing his knowledge, training rigorously, and leading with courage. But after a brave battle, Andrew lost his life to lung cancer caused by occupational toxins. This 25th anniversary of 9 11, Andrew's story is a reminder of the profound impact that day had on our nation's heroes and their families. Andrew leaves behind his wife, Jessica, their son, his parents and sister. Tunnel to Towers honored Andrew by paying off the Donner family's mortgage. Help more families like the Donners. Your donation to Tunnel to Towers can bring hope and security to families who have sacrificed so much for us. Join us in donating $11 a month and amplify your impact with a car or land donation.

Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. TSA agents are getting paid updates. The latest, longest wait right now anywhere down to an hour and a half. And that is terminal B in LaGuardia. Other parts of LaGuardia are 10 minutes. Miami, but that airport's a mess. Buck, the Miami airport, one of the terminals, 50 minutes. Otherwise, everything, basically 30 minutes or less. Basically everywhere in the country. So I do think that is a very positive story. We just had Caroline Levitt walk to the podium at the White House. We will play that for you, monitor that, and ensure that we are on top of everything that is going on there. But I wanted to play this. I mentioned the idea of seizing Iran's uranium could be a wedding of what I call the nerds. That is the people who are capable of pulling out the uranium, the experts in uranium.

[Buck Sexton]

Nicholas Cage from the Rock, who's like, that's right. Biochemical super nerd.

[Clay Travis]

That's right. Compared to the special ops guys who are door kicking badasses. And Joshua in Michigan, well, he defended the nerds by sounding like a nerd. Here he is. Cut B. Good morning, Buck. Morning.

[Buck Sexton]

Clay is Joshua from West Michigan again. You know, your former active duty army cavalry guy. I just wanted to let you all know that not all intel are nerds. Some of us are combat human intelligence collection experts, like Cav Scouts, 19 Deltas, you know, security and reconnaissance, the commander's eyes and ears who are shield tie. Yeah, brother, shield tie. But you gotta understand something. You're not a nerd. This is the. You're like. You're like, some of us got good grades and we're on the football team. I'm like, right, you're on the football team. I'm talking about the not on the football team guys, so to speak, which I was not on the football team. I was just getting the good grades.

[Clay Travis]

So, yeah, I. I do think it's fair to say I think you'll probably sign off on this, Buck. It is possible that the uranium extraction experts also bench 315 and run like four fives in full combat gear. I think it's less likely that they are absolute physical freak, you know, warriors physically as they are mentally superior. Does that make sense? Like, I don't even think that's a controversial take to have. Your average nuclear scientist is not a super ripped badass who could kick down doors and, you know, carry out bad guys in each arm.

[Buck Sexton]

Look, there, there are human limitations of time in all of these things, right? So to have a certain level of expertise in one thing and time on that thing requires you to not have as much time in other things. But that all said, if you're angry about Clay's take, just get mad at him.

[Clay Travis]

And in the meantime, maybe if you're going to go extract some uranium and you're angry listening to me right now, maybe you can put some more testosterone in your life with chalk. Maybe it's time you want to be able to keep up with the Navy Seals who sleep two hours a night and bench press £400, and you want to have a little bit more testosterone. And in your life, that's what chalk can help you get hooked up. As much as 20% increase in your testosterone. All natural. In the space of just a few months, what do you have to lose? Again, it's all natural. Our buddy Seton down in Texas, he's got a great offer for all of you. You can get hooked up right now and be well on your way to getting an incredible offer. Best deal on subscription for life. Plus with the Spink Spring Special, you get a free 99 bag of chocolate powder too. That's choq.com my name Clay. C H O Q Clay.

[Buck Sexton]

All right, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. Thanks for being with us, everybody. We have from the Daily Wire Breaker stole with us now and thank you so much for joining. You were at a no Kings protest. Did you in fact find out that there is no king? What happened?

[Brecker Stoll]

Well, it's actually my third time trying to figure this out. My third no Kings rally. And unfortunately I go in there with the same question every time. You know, explain to me how President Trump is acting like a king. And beneath the initial rage, I'm never given a concrete answer.

[Clay Travis]

So what is the general vibe of the, of the no King crowd when you are there? It, what does it feel like? What is the average age? What is the makeup of these people? I mean, I think there's a lot of kind of fascination about how many people to Buck's case, you should go read his book Manufacturing Delusion are in fact deluded in what they believe. But what's the vibe and what's the crowd like?

[Brecker Stoll]

They're honestly all pretty much united by a hatred for President Trump. Like you said, a lot of older people. You know, this is different from other protests that I've been to. But, no, Keynes does seem to draw out that older crowd. You know, they have talked about. They have these kind of getting ready sessions for the protests. And in those, they always express how important it is to not be violent, to wear, you know, inflatables to help bring down the intensity of the movement with this particular protest, and obviously very well organized. This is our third one. You know, we had the first one in June, the next one in October, and this latest in March. And it seems to seem to me that these protests keep being put on because they want to continue and keep this momentum of rage and just anguish against the president and allow people to keep going out there.

[Clay Travis]

Where does this go to you? You've been to a bunch of them now. Does this continue? Are, Is there going to be summer protests? I mean, is this resonating, do you think, with leftists? Do they see the no Kings protest as a huge success in rallying voters? Are they going to run it all the way up through the midterms? I mean, where does this end? Because, by the way, we know that President Trump's not going to be in power again anymore in January of 2029. So, like, how long can the no Kings protest have validity?

[Brecker Stoll]

Well, to be honest, I'm surprised every time they roll out their new installment. And as Republicans typically say, after one of these protests, it seems like they're successful because, you know, still doesn't have a cane. But I did learn attending the protest, there will be a national strike. So if any worker should not go to work on May 1, and that was already being promoted, sounded like they were using that as a platform to kind of go ahead and get that message out. But what really alarms me kind of about this protest, and I know I told you they haven't been violent, but this is actually the first time I did hear protesters alluding to the death of President Trump. I talked to one protester whose sign said, I'm waiting for the big beautiful obituary. And then when I asked her when she thinks that might happen, she responded to me and she said, or sooner rather than later. And then she started laughing, which is pretty alarming to hear, you know, against a president, really against anyone, but especially a president who has had assassination attempts, you know, on his life.

[Buck Sexton]

So they're planning to continue with these, though. Is that the. I mean, what. What do the Democrats really get out of this? Is it just performative? It lets the base show up, dye their hair purple shriek about mansplaining and stolen land and everything else. I, I've seen some stuff online, I'm sure you've dug into this about where the funding from this comes from. It looks like very, very wealthy foundations, of course, which is just a pass through for very wealthy left wing individuals are writing the checks for this stuff. So this isn't like some grassroots. Oh, we're just going to get together because someone posted something on Facebook. There's a real infrastructure behind this. So clearly they're trying to do something.

[Brecker Stoll]

No. And you can see the infrastructure just because so many of the signs are the same. And I'm not necessarily talking about like what looks like the homemade written ones, but there are manufactured printed signs that you see over and over through the Protest in Washington D.C. in protests in Los Angeles and in New York. So it does beg the question of how they're getting there. And then I think the goal of this because, and like you said, definitely after going, it makes you want to research these. And there's this one organization, it's called States at the Core. And the woman leading the organization, I listened to one of her interviews and she discussed in the interviews, the guy said, when did you start organizing people and start educating them on how to protest and how to, you know, kind of get out in front of the public and express their anguish with President Trump? And she said that they started organizing right before the 2024 election when it looked like President Trump was going to win. And that made me question, if he hadn't win, would they even or hadn't won, would they even have had a reason to organize at all? Or. So it just shows you that this is really against President Trump and not necessarily any issues that they may have, you know, with a president on maybe the Democrat side who's doing something that they might have a problem with or think is too authoritarian, where does this kind.

[Clay Travis]

I want to get a go. Go back again to who these people are. You're talking about what their motivation is, who might be funding them. You're relatively young. Buck and I are in our 40s, would you say the average protest? And typically we tend to think of protesters as being younger, but Buck and I were up for the inauguration of Trump and we drove by one of the anti Trump protests at that inauguration and it was filled with a lot of people older than us. What do you think the average age is? Is it people in their 50s, people in their 40s? It's certainly not people in their 20s or 30s and certainly not many teenagers. And how does that potentially implicate to you what's going on? Who's being motivated?

[Brecker Stoll]

No, I would definitely say Average age is 50s, 60s. I watched a clip of leftist influencer Harry Sasson on cnn and he was talking about kind of the youth behind this movement. And his interview was behind the protest, which showed a bunch of older individuals behind him. And I definitely see this at no Kings rallies. But I think the problem that people are missing with this is, yes, at these rallies, it is older people, but this message, this anti Trump message is resonating with younger people, you know, who are maybe have plans on Saturday, are, you know, working on Saturday, aren't in retirement and have time or don't have time to go to these protests. And you've got this. Republicans should be nervous coming into midterms if this message is resonating with younger Americans. Because, you know, I saw at no Keynes and some of these signs go viral that President Trump isn't following through on his promise of affordability. And when you have that being publicized and people thinking, wow, like, look at this, you know, these thousands of people who've come around the country who say that this isn't happening, and then they maybe feel it, they feel that in inflation, which rose under Joe Biden around 20% cumulatively, maybe that message starts to resonate. And so I think that this, groups of people, they are older, they do have, are upset with President Trump. But because this is such a big event on social media time after time and people keep it so current, I do think it allows young people on social media to see this messaging and then potentially leaves them questioning things heading into that midterm boost.

[Buck Sexton]

So there may be maybe some success, it sounds like, from this for the Democrats, even though when we sit here, it's hard for I think, a serious person to take this seriously. Breca. But as I, as I look at this, they're clearly continuing with it the same way that Democrats continued in the, in the midterm with Biden to push the issue of threats to our democracy by having all those hearings about January 6th. I think for people that see the world normally, a no Kings protest is on its face absurd, but it's a Democrat mobilization technique. Right? It's Saul Alinsky. Get people out there in the streets shouting and screaming about something that makes them feel good and powerful and like they're doing something worthwhile. And then you can get them to do other things you want, like show up in the midterms and vote yes.

[Brecker Stoll]

And I think that will prove Ultimately, like you said, whether this movement has been successful because, yes, they've been able to coordinate, again, a ton of retirees out on the street on a Saturday, but are they actually getting them to vote on these issues? And so definitely will be interesting to see if this does become ultimately successful. And then to your point on everything going on under President Biden, very interesting, because no one was protesting when Vice President Kamala Harris won that Democrat nominee without a single vote in the primary. And people still protesting. President Trump, a duly elected president, steps away from the nation's capital, exercising that free right and saying that he's a king, which we know if that really was the case, no one would be allowed to do that. And we're able to see that around the country. And I even had one man, he was just touring the Lincoln Memorial. And, you know, I took a break from protesters and asked him, what do you think about all of this? And he couldn't believe it because he said, president Trump isn't a king. You know, he's not perfect. But you got to compare it to other countries. And when you look at other countries, he literally said, the United States is probably the most democratic society out there.

[Clay Travis]

Do you feel safe if, if these things are going to continue? You said people are going to call out, not work on May 1. Do you feel safe at this event? Do obviously you're representing the Daily Wire. We know that there have been people from Fox News, for instance, during Minneapolis, where the reporters were being taunted. Do you feel safe interviewing people? What is the vibe like for you?

[Brecker Stoll]

When I go out there to different protests, I actually at no, Keynes, like you said, when you're surrounded by older people in inflatable costumes, you know, you feel like you're safe, like you can, if something were to happen, you can handle yourself. I the protest at nighttime that I've attended or just in an area where there isn't as much police presence, you know, we have the National Guard here. So whenever I'm interviewing a protester in D.C. the National Guard is a few steps away. And so if something were to go wrong, I know that they would jump in and be able to help the situation. And I do. There are times where after people get upset when they find out I'm at the Daily Wire. And that's when they ask me and they typically ask me, you know, what outlet I'm with after I have given a follow up, which I view as a very fair follow up to what some of the things they've told me are, you know, when one woman was explaining to me how her rights were taken away as an African. African American, we played that cut a

[Clay Travis]

little bit earlier on the show. So that's a good one to give us an idea about.

[Brecker Stoll]

Yes. And so, you know, a fair follow up, in my opinion. What rights of yours are being taken away? And then immediately, what outlet are you with? And I just always blows my. A simple question of just, you know, explain, elaborate on your thoughts immediately, then puts me in question, and then her ultimately, then, you know, saying that maybe I don't have the right to be there as the press.

[Buck Sexton]

Breca, this is very important for your physical safety when you're at these things going forward. I just want you to know if you've ever seen a vampire movie, you know how when you hold up a crucifix, they. You just need a pocket constitution and you hold that up and it's just like in the vampire movies where you hold up. So you hold up the pocket constitution. Also, if you have not garlic, but red meat, they hate red meat. So if you just carry a little. A little ground beef in your pocket and a pocket constitution, they will shriek and catch on fire and run away like vampires. So you will be safe at these no Kings protests. We've got your back.

[Brecker Stoll]

Oh, thank you so much. And you know, it was funny. Our. I was out there with another Daily Wire employee, and then he had his MAGA hat, which he put on towards the end of the protest as we were leaving, and immediately that made them flee as well.

[Buck Sexton]

So, yeah, that's also. It also works. Also works. Break a stroll stole at the Daily Wire. Great work. Come back next time you do one of these protests. And if Clay loses a bet to me, he might be out there with you, by the way. So we're looking forward to that. Yeah, that may be happening. Thank you. Thank you so much.

[Brecker Stoll]

Thank you so much.

[Buck Sexton]

Absolutely. All right, look, after reaching over $5,000 an ounce, gold prices have softened a little bit. But what does that mean for you and me? Well, if you believe in the long term thesis, it's a buying opportunity. And I believe in the long term thesis that gold will, as it has for decades now, continue to increase in value. And Birch Gold Group, that's who I trust for gold, because having a portion of your savings in gold just makes sense. And for a lot of you, transitioning a 401k or an IRA, an old one, into gold, that also makes a lot of sense when you look at what gold has done in the last 20 years or so. Educate yourself. That's what Birch Gold wants to do. They want to help you get gold, but they also want you to know more about gold so that you are a long term partner with gold investing. Birch Gold Group will send you a free info kit on gold when you text my name Buck to 9898 98. There's no obligation, only useful information including how you can own gold in a tax sheltered retirement account. A plus rating with a better Business Bureau. Tens of thousands of happy customers. See if buying the dip makes sense for you right now. Text Buck to 989898 Text B U C K to 989898 Two guys walk up to a mic.

Anything goes Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Let me take a couple of your calls here by the way that Buck may be able to be able to expert on because he is about to leave to go meet with some of our great show sponsors. He's going to duck out an hour early. Let's see Sean in Queens. Sean, fire away.

[Buck Sexton]

Hey, what's going on guys?

[Brecker Stoll]

I don't think we know what a

[Buck Sexton]

urine uranium is, man. To be honest.

[Clay Travis]

It's a fair question, Buck. So that we may not know where

[Buck Sexton]

all of it is, you know. Yeah.

[Clay Travis]

The Wall Street Journal in their piece for those of you who were listening early when we were referencing this said that there are two different places, Buck, that we believe the uranium currently is and it goes to the challenge associated with that and that those two are in an underground tunnel at the nuclear complex and Isfahan and an additional storing at Natanz. So in addition to what we talked about earlier, Buck, you may have to secure two different locations and go in to retrieve all of this two different places. And as the caller points out, the intelligence on this is hugely important because we may or may not actually be correct as to where these are being stored.

[Buck Sexton]

Yes, there's a whole movie made by Matt Damon, Green Zone about the look for looking for WMDs in Iraq. Not a good movie by the way, but this is a thing sometimes we think we know.

[Clay Travis]

I did think your analogy was a good one when if we did seize this uranium successfully, unlike with the WMBs in Iraq which were never able to be found, this would at least point to once and for all Iran was trying to enrich uranium and create a nuclear weapon.

[Buck Sexton]

Yeah. Despite. Despite all the problems it caused for them too. Which goes to, you know, if if all you want is for the maniac on the rooftop to hand over his firearm, you know, he says he's gonna. He says he's gonna jump, but he's got a firearm. It's like all you want is it, and he won't hand it over. You really want to get that gun out of his hands. You know what I mean? Like, if somebody's willing to put it all on the line for something like this, there's a reason, and there's a reason Iran was willing to take these risks, and Trump has made them pay a tremendous price for this nuclear material because they wanted the capability to nuke people. I mean, I don't know what else to say other than that seems pretty clear. So you got to look at this the way it is. Another part of this, Clay, is people don't realize there are really bad, really crazy folks out there. When I say crazy, I don't mean, like, they're not of sound mind so much as they have a belief system. And they will kill a lot of people. They'll kill millions of people. People because they think that their belief system tells them to. And the Iranian mullahs fall into that category, no doubt.

[Clay Travis]

Might be good to keep those guys from having really serious weapons. When we come back, Buck out for till Tuesday. We'll have a member of the Cabinet.
