In our number three Wednesday edition, Clay and Buck show a lot of different details all coming down just recently with Caroline Levitt in the White House press briefing. And I have got a series of these to update you all with these. I believe these are in the order in which they were occurring. And then we've got a ton of your talkbacks that we will play. And 800-282-2882, we will take some of your calls as well. OK. And Buck, this is one of the big points of discussion we got into in the first hour. To what extent is the public and private commentary different from Iran? How can you rely on what is being said? Caroline Levitt cut 26 says that what Iran is saying publicly is different from what they are saying privately.
Caroline Levitt (1:01)
Cut 26 with respect to the first reporting out of Iranian state media. The president was made aware of those reports before I came to the podium. That is completely unacceptable. And again, this is a case of what they're saying publicly is different privately. We have seen an uptick of traffic in the strait today. And I will reiterate the president's expectation and demand that the Strait of Hormuz is reopened immediately, quickly and safely. That is his expectation. And it has been relayed to him privately that that is what's taking place in these reports publicly are false.
Buck Sexton (1:33)
Okay. This is an easy one that we can test, Buck. Either there's going to be a lot of ships that are coming through the state of Strait of Hormuz safely or there's not. And if there's not, it's a pretty good sign that that is dishonest, that they are actually still curtailing traffic substantially.
Clay Travis (1:50)
My sense also is that she's referring to also here referring to the position that the Iranians are taking on the deal points. And is that included in that response there?
Buck Sexton (2:05)
We've got an additional cut on that, I think, which is her saying the 10 point request is just not accurate and we are not agreeing there.
Clay Travis (2:15)
Well, but this is where the public private dichotomy matters so much. Right? Because they're saying the White House is telling us, oh, don't worry, behind closed doors the Iranians are way more compliant and willing to play ball on these things than what because what they put out to be clear and we can, I guess we might as well play this, what the Iranians put out as their deal position is a giant extended finger in our direction. It is, it is a maximalist, maximalist points on their side that they are Taking Here, this is 28. Here's Caroline Levitt on this.
