Hour 2 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show shifts from the Iran conflict coverage of Hour 1 into a rapid-fire mix of geopolitics, U.S. national security, Texas politics, gender ideology debates, Tesla culture wars, and guest analysis from Jesse Kelly. The hour opens with Buck recounting his past intelligence travel protocols, describing the real dangers of visiting adversarial nations like China, Russia, or North Korea, emphasizing surveillance, detainment risks, and the difference between traveling under President Trump versus under a Democrat administration. Clay and Buck then segue into the explosive Texas Senate primary developments, spotlighting Democrat nominee James Talarico and resurfaced video clips of him asserting that “modern science recognizes six biological sexes.” This launches a lengthy discussion about chromosomal abnormalities (such as Turner Syndrome and Klinefelter Syndrome), biological sex vs. gender identity, and how these claims will likely play in Texas political advertising.

The hosts then examine additional Talarico statements, including his comments that “trans people need abortions too” and that the term “woman” is not exhaustive. Buck and Clay frame these as examples of extreme left-wing ideology that will alienate Texas voters, arguing Democrats misposition Talarico as a moderate despite a long track record of progressive activism. They also react to breaking news that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is holding a briefing, keeping an eye on Iran-related updates.

Hour 2 pivots into listener engagement as callers weigh in on Clay’s new Tesla, debating autonomous driving, DUI liability, fears of government control, lessons from COVID-era restrictions, and whether electric vehicle adoption could erode personal freedom. Clay and Buck spar humorously with callers about autonomy, electric cars, gasoline culture, and even crypto skepticism, adding levity between heavier political segments.

The hour’s featured guest, Jesse Kelly, joins to break down the Texas Senate race, arguing Talarico is a well‑known “far-left loon” in Texas politics and predicting he will be “curbstomped” in November regardless of which Republican—Ken Paxton or John Cornyn—emerges as the nominee. Kelly warns that President Trump could undermine conservative momentum if he endorses the wrong candidate, criticizing Trump’s endorsement history as inconsistent. The conversation expands to Dan Crenshaw’s political fall, the importance of personal likability in politics, and how elected officials alienate voters by talking down to constituents.

Kelly and the hosts return to the Iran war, with Jesse declaring Iran’s military “finished” due to overwhelming U.S. air superiority and CENTCOM’s precision strikes. He cautions, however, that while destroying a regime is easy, installing a stable replacement government is far more difficult. They explore how modern conflict resembles a “video game” because of drones, remote warfare, and real‑time social media footage, predicting that American public attention will rapidly fade despite initial enthusiasm.

The hour closes with a discussion of the U.S. men’s hockey team, media outrage culture, and why many “normal guys” are fleeing the Democratic Party. Callers chime in with jokes about Clay visiting North Korea, swimming from Alcatraz, and revisiting earlier comedic bits. The hosts wrap by teasing continued analysis of the Texas Senate race and a scheduled guest from Israel in Hour 3.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second hour of playing Buck kicks off right now. First Home.
We're talking a lot about Iran.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
And the unbelievable aerial campaign that we are getting a
lot of details from a Secretary of War, Pete Hegseeth,
commander of Sencom, I believe did a pretty detailed briefing.
I was watching that last night on what we are
hitting in that country, and they are just any military.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
We own the sky.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
We have a technology and a military capacity that is
just far beyond anything the Iranians could could even imagine,
and that is on full display. And the idea here
is to completely newter the Iranian military and make it

(00:47):
so that they can't hit us. And now it's just
a question or it will become a question of what
the political resolution will be when they no longer have
the capacity to fire off missiles and and create that
kind of mayhem. We wanted to shift gears here for
a second. Oh and by the way, we will we
will let you know if Clay decides to take a

(01:08):
week on the beach in North Korea, if he wants
to go to one of these North Korean resorts, We're
gonna make sure Laura has like extra special insurance you know,
kidnapping insurance in place for him and and we we
will let you know in advance before that's the only
country buck that with your CIA expertise, you think might

(01:29):
be crazy enough to actually take an American hostage.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I mean somebody they've done it before.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, but I mean like an actual media person because
a lot of times you'll see I wouldn't go to Russia.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
I wouldn't go to Russia either.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I know there are some Americans, including on the right,
who have been there, and I wouldn't go to Russia
because you just if they decide that there's.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Something about China, like I've been to China, but would
you go now? I would.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, I would go back to China, but I would
be very nervous about it.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I would be.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I would not I would not be having a great
time checking out all the temples and the history and
everything else.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I would be.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
When I went in Clay, I didn't bring a single
piece of electronics with me, and that was because I
knew from my old life what the Chinese do. And
I didn't even bring a kindle, I mean nothing if
it had electricity, did not bring it.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I brought a wind up watch that was it? Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
And then I rented a phone there walk with that. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I rented a phone in country to use and just
knew that everything, everything was being monitored and everything was
being tracked. And that is the way that that country functions.
And that by the way, that is it is not paranoia,
that is reality. There, there's no it's not oh maybe,
oh no, I was being monitored for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
So that that's that's a country that I would go
back to under this or on behalf of the US government.
Absolutely as a civilian. Probably i U Russia, no way
I would go as a civilian. I'd go on behalf
of the US government, but only in an official capacity,

(03:09):
and North Korea certainly only in an official capacity, not
as a not as a civilian, because you know, everyone
thinks that our government's gonna have their back and take
care of things. The State Department's pretty busy. You do
not want to be relying on some embassy bureaucrats somewhere
to be getting your case in front of the president asap.

(03:29):
Although hopefully Clay could call Trump and be like your
good friend Buck, he's uh, he's in Pyongyang in a dungeon.
We got to get them out. We got to get
them out. Some people are saying, you know, I don't
think Trump would let you or me rot in a
pyeong Yang dungeon, but it might take him a few
days to get us out.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So I would rather not do that. All right, let's
get into uh, let's get into Oka.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
And I also had, by the way, a Biden administry,
I would feel differently going as a civilian under Trump
that I went under under a Democrat. We actually truly
good because we like the Trump White House. And I
do think Trump would get us out, but I don't
know that Biden would. I don't know that I think
Biden would let us rot for a while. I really do.
I think either of us. I think that's just the
nature of America today. Unfortunately, that the Democrats are so

(04:12):
part is in on this stuff that they would want
to make an example anyway. So yes, Clay, don't don't
go to North Korea. And in the meantime, we got
James tall Rico. What does that have to do with anything. Well,
he's now the Democrat nominee for that Senate contest in Texas,
and he has said some interesting things he has said

(04:34):
some interesting things. We talked about this in the last or.
We mentioned we would get to this in the last hour.
By the way, we're hoping that Yile Exstein to the
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews will join us in
the third hour. She's in Israel calm situation. There can
be a little difficult getting all of our internet stuff
lined up, but we'll see if we can get her.
We'll certainly be talking to her soon about what the

(04:54):
sense is from the ground in Israel given the war
with Iran going on. Of course, Israel's a participant in
Israel's engage in these air strikes too. So here we
have tall Rico. This was back in twenty twenty one
when he was a state rep.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
This is cut twenty nine. Listen to this.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I want us all to be aware of is that
that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more
than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six, which
honestly represented. Hefner surprised me to surprised me too, because
I am you know, I am not well versed in
this this issue area. I'm not a scientist. I'm a politician,

(05:31):
a lot worse than a scientist.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
There are six sexes?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Would you even know what they would be? I'm going
to say I have a good guests somebody. It would
have been great to just push him on this thing
and be like, Okay, since you think there are six,
what are the six? Do you think you and I
could come up with a male female now now playing
their crazy game trans non binary.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
That's four.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Okay, we got we got two more, buddy. I'm I'm
blanking out right here. But is trans even one that
you would acknowledge? I thought the whole thing with trans
was I'm sorry, Clay, are you a racing trans people
right now?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Of course, I think I'm actually making the pro trans
I thought the whole trans argument is that they're actually
just the sex that they claim they are.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
You.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
This is fascinating because you are correct, and yet I
think it is recognized as one of the six in
the Tallarico construct world.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yes, so it could be trans.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
So trans female trans male would be two, even though
they're arguing that they're actually the same, right that that
that this is not a trane like so, and then
inn would intersex be one? Like where you're actually a
mix of male female, which is a biological reality.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Probably that that is a very rare it used to
call maite.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Is that a bad word now? I don't know what no, no,
that you still use now in that context. I'm not
sure what's appropriate.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
And then.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
With hermaphrodites, often there is we're talking science here, folks,
so just just trying to be Often it's there's more
of one set of gonads than the other. And usually
a hermaphrodite will have, for example, a micro penis, which
is a real thing.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
It is, it is.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I know a lot of you want to make jokes
about democrats right now, but uh, there's a lot there's
there's a thing called a micro penis, and that hermaphrodite.
This is science, I could hear. I can just feel
some of them laughing. As this is science. You call
me out. You are a hermaphrodite. They treat you as
a woman in pump you.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Full of estrogen?

Speaker 6 (07:55):
Right?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Isn't that typically the way? I think you're.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Generally more female than man as a hermaphrodite. Hence the
micro penis reality, which I think they because it is
it's truly like a vestigial and so it can be
removed and you get into whether your gonads are internal
or external. Obviously, external gonads would be male genitalia. I
believe hermaphrodites tend to have the internal genitalia, which is

(08:20):
why they are for a whole bunch of reasons. They're
more female than male, and that is how they go.
But okay, but back to the six sexes.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
So we're here.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
This is not gonna play well in Texas. Buck sexes
Texas is what the heck is Buck talking about internal gonads,
external gonads.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I'm just saying the six sexes.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
When they put this ad up and he's wearing a
mask and he's testifying under oath that there are actually
six genders or six sexes, most Texans are gonna say.
What is going to become rapidly clear as these ads
start to run. This guy is now some moderate, middle
of the road religious democrat, which is the way that

(09:05):
they are going to try to contextualize him. He's actually
as crazy as most Democrats. Wow, maybe even crazier. This
This is this is producer producer Greg I think just
pulled this for us. So in this case, his six sexes,
he's talking about chromosomal abnormalities. So it's actually not, they're

(09:30):
talking He's talking about sex in the context of chromosomes,
not gender identity. So we went to gender ide you know,
this is the we went to gender identity. He's talking
about things like x Y is male, xx is female,
just X is Turner syndrome, x x Y is Kleinfelter syndrome,

(09:56):
x y y is Jacob syndrome, and x.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
X x Y.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Okay, by the way, these are all scientific or medical realities.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
They're they're very very rare.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
None of this has anything to do with the gender
identity discussion or debate that the left is obsessed with.
Correct So so the only one that would would uh,
you'd have to look at it. I don't even know
what all these different team look up. How common are
these things? And by the way, that's only five, so
I don't think again, he didn't further answer to your point.
This is one where the follow up question should have been, Okay, sorry,

(10:30):
what are the six genders? This is just them looking
this up and giving us five. Here is uh here wait,
hold way, but hold on a second, Hold on a second.
Kleinfelter syndrome is a genetic condition in males. Yeah, I'm
saying this is not just this is not a this
is not this doesn't mean you're a different He's talking

(10:51):
about the gender identity stuff and the yeah but no,
but he's trying to conflate it.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is my point. He's playing games here, because this is
what I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I was saying, if you have an extra chromosome, you
have some, you generally have low fertility. And maybe this
is why he knows so much about this low testosterone.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
But you're a guy. No one thinks you're not a guy.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
You just have a chromosomal issue, right, so you're not
a different sex. Here are a couple of other examples
of this guy being crazy, by the way, and this
is why I think again, his trans takes here are
going to be everywhere, and most Texans are going to
say this guy's crazy. He says trans people need abortions too.

(11:33):
Woman is not an exhaustive term. Cut twenty seven. Does
this sound like a Texan moderate to you?

Speaker 4 (11:40):
I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion
care too. Defending trans Texans is something we have to
do every day at the state capital, and you better
believe I'll be getting sermons on that too. So When
I use the word woman, it should not be understood
as an exhausted term, but rather as a as a
lens through which to understand, in examine and interrogate patriarchy.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh my god, this dude's crazy.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Buck.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, this guy's he's a he's a preacher of Moloch.
I mean, he is somebody who cloaks himself in Biblical
verse in order to promote the teachings of the anti christ.
I don't know else to say. This guy is out
of his mind. This stuff that he's saying is completely
what what Christian? What Christian faith does he say that

(12:26):
he represents? Or how does he get here? You need
you need to have trans kids. You need to have
abortion all nine months of her pregnancy. You know what
else does he want to add into the mix? How
does he feel about polyamory? How does he feel about
having nine wives? I just I can't wait to see
him start to explain that one to us. You know
what about a thruple when he could find I guarantee

(12:48):
you this guy could find you a biblical justification for
it being in a thrupple. It's not a surprise that
all of this is coming out now. I would just
say I think there's been a little bit of play
in possum when it comes to Tallarico, and Democrats have
been saying, oh, he's a very moderate, middle of the
road guy. There's actually a lot of crazy out there

(13:11):
from him, and I don't think it's coincidental that he
wins the nomination and suddenly you're starting to see all
of the opposition research that's been done on him. Again,
I think Democrats, I would encourage him spend tens of
millions of dollars, flood the Texas economy with a lot
of your dollars from outside the state, and let's see

(13:33):
what Texans think of this, because I don't think this
race is going to be close whether Ken Paxton or
John Cornyn ends up being the nominee. By the way,
Caroline Levitt has just taken the podium for a White
House press briefing. We will continue to monitor that and
make sure that we bring you any news that comes
from that event. In the meantime, Buying a new roof

Speaker 7 (15:10):
You don't know what's you don't know right, but you
could on the Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcaster.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I don't
know what Jesse Kelly, our next guest, is going to
say about me now having a Tesla.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
But a lot of you.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Teed off on me. I thought this was going to
be popular. I need my pro tesla talkbacks instead of
all these people taking shots at me. Here's John in
my own hometown of Nashville ninety eight point three fifteen
ten wlac uh. Here is what he had to say.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Hey to Clay, how can you tell somebody who drives
a Tesla because they'll tell you about it and tell
you about it and tell you about it.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Have I talked about how awesome my new Tesla is.
It's really pretty outstanding. Tom and Arizona. You can still
get a dui. You want everybody to know in self
drive b just so you.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
Know, because I know you guys like your alcohol. You
put that car in self drive mode, you still get
pulled over. You still get a DUI. Doesn't matter that
the car is driving.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, totally. That is one hundred percent true because you
still might have to take it over. What I'm saying
is going forward we had this discussion. It could diminish
DUIs because I think the future is going to be
you won't even have a steering will in some of
these cars. Mike and Omaha k fab what's the ot
for us?

Speaker 4 (16:32):
If you really want to give up your driving ability,
you're driving liberty, your freedom to an autonomous car.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Good luck with that. You realize where that's headed to.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Right at some point, COVID should have taught you a
lot of things.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Guys, Apparently you forgot the lessons of COVID. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
I get on a plane and I entrust myself to
where the plane is going.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I think that's a good argument.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Also, I'm not like this seven thirty seven will be
better off if I was at the controls. Well, a
lot of people came after me on this. You can
still control the car, right, you can turn off self drive.
In fact, you pay for it. So if you think
that at some point in time the government is going

(17:18):
to take control of all cars and they're not going
to allow people to take them wherever they want to go,
we're screwed on every level. So I don't know. I mean,
I still have a gas powered car too. But if
you think that the government taking controls of all electric
cars and suddenly the gas powered cars are going to

(17:38):
be great and the country is going to be going fantastic.
I don't want to get out of the side. All
the people out there who are big believers in crypto
after me. But my concern is if crypto becomes undisputably
indisputably necessary, buck, we're in real trouble. And I just
I think it's probably gonna come back to guns and big,

(18:02):
badass guys more than guys with computers who are going
to run the world. That's Mike speaking about who's going
to run the world when things get really rough. People
who have gold, they're gonna feel really good about themselves.
In fact, they'll feel good about themselves if we just
have more of what we've already seen, which is global instability,
money printing from America and all the big banks out there,
and just the dilution of our currency. Gold is something

(18:26):
you can do to hedge against this, and Birch Gold
Group can help you convert an Ira four one k
into an IRN gold. They can also help you get
gold at your home. That's what I've got. I'm a
gold buyer I'm a believer in gold. The long term
thesis is sound. Text Buck to ninety eight, ninety eight
ninety eight. Birch Gold Group can help you diversify with gold.

(18:48):
Text my name Buck to ninety eight, ninety eight, ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We were talking Texas.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
We spoke to our friend Michael Barry, and we couldn't
leave out our other favorite Texan, our friend Jesse Kelly,
who joins us now, syndicated radio host on Premiere Networks,
host of The Jesse Kelly Show, a man of both
tremendous insight and tremendous humility, joins us now. Mister Jesse Kelly,

(19:18):
You're welcome as always, sir.

Speaker 8 (19:21):
It is a somber, somber day here in Texas. As
a radio host and TV host, I don't endorse political candidates.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
It's not something I've ever done.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
But I broke that rule in Texas yesterday and I
endorsed Jasmine Crockett as the Democrat nominee in Texas. And
I wake up today and find out the Jazzy did
not win her primary. This is an outrage. There had
to be cheating some kind. I don't even know how
I'm gonna go on, but I was pulling for big time.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's just racism, Jesse. I think that's very obvious. Democrats
are very racist, very sexist, and they don't don't want
the future to be female. And they see a powerful
black woman and they stand. They threw everything in her way,
these Democrats. It was dirty, it was underhanded, and I'm
sad too. I could see how we're both in clay

(20:14):
Is in a state of mourning. I was harding you
a get out of bed. I just it's racism, racism, racism.
Texas Democrats should be ashamed. The white guy wins again
and another talented black woman, black girl magic.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
It just I believed in it. I'm like you, Jesse,
and it just didn't come through. All right.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Let me ask you this, by the way, more seriously,
this just came down. President Trump has posted because we
have a runoff now right now between John Cornyn, current
senator in Texas, and Ken Paxton, and President Trump has
just posted that he is going to be endorsing soon

(20:54):
and he expects the other candidate to drop out. And
we don't know exactly how that endorsement would go or
what that might be but James Tallerco We've been playing
cuts from him. We'll play a few more for you
during the course of the show. He is like a
crazy left winger. It feels like Democrats Republicans have been

(21:16):
playing possum a little bit here because he got the nomination,
and suddenly there's twenty videos of him saying crazy things
that are immediately out. What's your read on this? Regardless
of who the Republican nominee is, is tall Rico a threat?

Speaker 8 (21:30):
No, tall Rico is not a threat at all. He's
one of these guys. He's a state rep here. People
aren't going to know him, but they'll start to know
him now that he's going to get national recognition. But
he's well known here as being a far left lune.
His little district is far left. He's been a far
left luna's entire time here in the Texas State Legislature.
And because he's been in the legislature, he's on camera

(21:53):
saying all of these things. He is going to get
curb stomped in November. He has no chance soever. The
things he says, we'll go over like a turn and
a punch bowl in Texas.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
He has no chance whatsoever.

Speaker 8 (22:07):
We all just have to sit back right now and
hope and cross our fingers that Donald Trump doesn't do
when I'm very worried he might do. For all the
things he does well, he might be the worst endorser
of candidates in the history of the Republican Party. He
will find the biggest rhino swamp rat loser and repeatedly
endorse these people. We have a real opportunity to take

(22:30):
a rhino scalp and remove John Cornyn from the GOP,
which he should have been.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Removed a long time ago.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
And if Donald Trump kneecaps those efforts, I am going
to be so irate I might just spike my microphone
off the desk if he does it.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
I hope he's not going to do it. I very
much worry that he is going to do it.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
What happened with Dan Crenshaw Jesse. He's right, he's pretty
close to him. You're you're a Hustonian, which Houston is
like is like the size of Switzerland. The place is
freaking huge. So I don't know, you know if he's
close to you in terms of the geography of his district,
but he is in your general neck of the woods.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Guys out. You know what happened there?

Speaker 8 (23:11):
Well, this is this old saying in politics, really honestly,
in life business, no matter what you're in, there's no
ability like likability.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
It's just a fact.

Speaker 8 (23:19):
You want to walk in the room and have everybody
like you, and if you're whether you're at your job
or in politics, things are generally going to go well
for you.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
It's served.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
Look Bill Clinton, right, Bill Clinton, we love to hate
the Clintons, and I hate the Clintons as much as
anybody else.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Bill Clinton walked in the room and everybody liked him.
Everyone wanted to be around him. He was patting everybody
on the back. He got.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
He rode that to two presidential terms. Dan Frenshaw rubs
people the wrong way. He's a bristly person who can't
help himself. He talks down to people in person, who'll
talk down to constituents in person and tell you what
a freaking more on you are. And you just can't
do that and stay in politics long term. If it
didn't end this time, it was gonna end two years

(24:00):
from now or two years from then. You cannot be
that bristly guy. Everyone's a moron but me and stay around.
When do you depend on people getting on people's felps.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
It just won't work, Jesse, I bought a Tesla. I
have no idea how you're going to react, but I
feel like I should disclose to you and give you
an opportunity to respond.

Speaker 8 (24:23):
Yeah, no, I'm Clay. I know you're thinking that I'm
gonna make fun of you for that. I absolutely not.
Every man needs something to hop in when he has
to go pick up some tampons at CBS. I'm glad
that you got yourself an electric car now.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
I hope you have a Saved the Planet bumper sticker
on the back of it.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
I think it's just it's the most Clay Travis thing
I've ever heard in my life. It's pretty just picturing
you nancying around town in your Tesla.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
I hope it's hot pink, because look, it should be.
It should be.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
I here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
When you come to Nashville, I'm gonna put you in
the Tesla, and I'm gonna let the Tesla dry. And
notwithstanding the fact that you are eight feet tall and
probably don't fit very well in my sports vehicle that
I purchased, you were going to say this is the
coolest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
And also I'm going to send you in to buy
the tampons.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Why would I want my car to drive for me.
I prefer to be in control.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
I want to accelerate when I want to accelerate, and
break the way I want.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
I want to turn the way I want to turn.
I don't want anyone to drive for me.

Speaker 8 (25:28):
I don't want a professional driver, and I definitely don't
want my fruity electric car to be driving me around either.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Well, I want to ask you serious questions, but Clay
Clay is waving me off, just so you know, so
I'm not going to fix all the piece.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Go ahead, Clay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I just want to follow up and point out that
since you only drink water and carry around the jug
of water to drink all day like the effeminate person
that you are, this actually has a place to store
your jug of water, so you know you could sip
out of a long straw make sure that you're fluidating. Well,

(26:01):
I would think you would love that.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
No, look, in all seriousness, I am.

Speaker 8 (26:06):
I'm a big fan of Elon must I shouldn't say
a fan, but I like that he bought Twitter I
think it's one of these highly intelligent people that makes
the world a better place. And I have friends who
have Tesla's. It's it's the charging time that gets me
and the Kelly household. Everyone knows we don't really stop,
even for bathroom breaks. Every three hours you are allowed

(26:26):
to stop. It will be ten minutes at the gas station.
Get in, go peek, get a mountain dew while Dad
fills up the car, and then we're gone. I am
not waiting in line to spend a half hour at
a charging station.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
It's never going to happen.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I remember fact that I'm not driving this on a
far distance. It charges at the house. All right, buck
back to the serious world order here.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
You see how he leaves it to me. He'd be like, womp, womp,
Like you guys get to have fun.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's like it's like one of these broadcasts where everyone's
having a great time. Go following, and I'm like, Jesse,
the current situation in Iran. But right, it falls upon
me to bring this back to being a news and
commentary show. Former marine Jesse Kelly pete heggs at this
coming out. He's like, we're blowing up all their stuff
and the more stuff we blow up, the more of

(27:12):
it we're gonna blow up. They're on the ground, We're
kicking them in the ribs. We're finishing this fight before
they can even get started. What do you think about
these moves.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah, they're being completely annihilated and overwhelmed.

Speaker 8 (27:25):
It's it's already over once you've lost air superiority, especially
to a country like the United States of America that
can force project clear across the globe.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
We can fly planes from Iowa and bomb Iran.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
It's staggering what we are capable of, what our navy's
capable of. Iran is finished, the regime is finished. We
clearly know where everyone is, where everything of signific significance
is right now. It's going to be a very enjoyable
television show for Americans. We should keep in mind we
already have Americans who lost their lives to this. Keep

(27:59):
their families and our prayers. I will just emphasize the
point I made. I'm still cautious and hesitant right now,
but not because I'm concerned about our military success over there.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
And it's easy to break things. It's hard to make things.

Speaker 8 (28:12):
It's not hard for the United States of America to
wipe out the Ayatola and every single scumbag in Iran.
We want to It is another thing entirely to install
a government friendly to us and acceptable to the people
that will be when it gets a little diceed.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
How much do you think I know you're a military
history guy too. Buck and I both love to read
about military history. The degree to which war now takes
place basically like a video game where for many people
we experience it. We see, Hey, we drop this bomb.
The number of boots on the ground, entanglements seems to
have diminished, You got even And I know they have

(28:52):
the lines of battle in Ukraine and Russia, but much
of that is now being fought by drones. How much
do you think there is a huge, huge difference in
the mind of many people out there between Hey, we're
putting a lot of people on the ground, we're building
bases to bucks point. The other day suddenly you have,
you know, a McDonald's in Iran on an American military base,

(29:13):
versus we're just bombing from above, We're sending in drones
from above. How much different does that strike the American
public in your mind?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
I think that we as a people as a whole.

Speaker 8 (29:26):
I think we enjoy the video of it, and especially
when we're winning and slapping people around here.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
That's the kind of thing that makes you want to
wave your American flag. Hey we got Maduro. Hey we're
bombing the crap out of me Ron.

Speaker 8 (29:36):
And what is it? As you mentioned, it's on your phone, right,
it's on Twitter, it's on Facebook or wherever you get
social media.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
You're watching it happen in real.

Speaker 8 (29:43):
Time, and when you're the one doing the winning, it
feels really really good. I also think we are probably
for worse, very flighty people now, probably for a variety
of reasons, where people get bored of.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Things, people will move on. I think Iran is going
to be hot.

Speaker 8 (30:01):
For a week and then no matter what else is
still going on, the American people are going to move on.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
The television show is gonna get old.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
How many times do you have to watch something get
blown up before you're like, okay, I've seen this movie before,
I'm gonna go complain about something else. I think people
have a very short attention span now. And the Trump administration,
I'm sure understands that he's been excellent at foreign policy.
I'm sure he understands this thing needs to get bepped
up as quickly as possible.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Jesse, one last, one last question for you. Oh sorry,
I just I was and he had his mic off
for a moment. No, I was just saying that was
actually quite good. I was like, I felt like the
raging cajun in old school, and he's like, that was perfect.
Let me ask you this as we as we go out,
normal guys, when you see the way that the Democrats

(30:53):
and sports media and legacy media responded to the US
men's hockey team, does that resonate? Do you think there's
lots of normal guys just kind of looking around, like,
so the president calling because we want a gold medal
now is a huge story? Or is it, like you
just said, stories vanished so quickly that most people don't

(31:14):
even know about the blowback.

Speaker 8 (31:16):
I think normal guys do care. For a short time,
as we just said, for twenty four to forty eight hours,
the American medium, most definitely the sports media, reminded everybody
how much to stain they have for just normal dudes,
not even hardcore political people like us, like everybody listening
right now, just normal dudes who want to have a
beer and watch football game. They the hockey team laughed

(31:38):
at a pretty innocent joke the President made, and the
media had to make it a big im woman, hear
me roll a story. And for normal people, well, look
at the Democrat numbers with men. This is why men
have fled the Democrat Party. They continue to flee the
Democrat Party. They're tired of being talked down to for
just being a normal dude. It's fine to take a
call from the President and laugh little joke. Everybody's happy.

(32:01):
But for these humorless schoold Karen feminists driving their super
rus in the American media that always have to talk
down to somebody and scold somebody like Starbucks screwed up
their half calf latte.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
And it's absolutely brutal for its chafing on normal people.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Jesse Kelly nationwide on many of these same stations. You
can listen to him in the evening and Jesse, I
appreciate you joining us, and I hope your hair grows
product is working.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Ah, you're a bad person. Good villa, that is, Jesse Kelly.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
I just.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
I'm never gonna get old asking about his hair product.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
You need to protect your home and family with Saber
non lethal devices, have it the ready. They make a
tremendous difference. Look, we have every Saber non lethal product
in the Travis household. And maybe you're like me and
you've got a elementary school age kid running around the
house and some of his friends running around the house,
and sometimes you want to make sure that if they
get into your stuff, as young elementary school age kids do,

(33:06):
that they can't do themselves that much trouble with what
you have stored beside your bed and unlocked. And that
is what Saber can do. They've got peppergel stun guns,
so many different products out there that are non lethal
in nature. You can certainly supplement them alongside of your
lethal weaponry. But if you want to have something that

(33:27):
you can easily access that isn't going to get into
the kids or grandkids' hands, Saber has amazing products.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
If you've got a grand.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Kid, you've got a kid who's got a job, maybe
they're going off to college, maybe they've got sports in
there getting in their car late at night. They have
non lethal options for your kids as well. Get hooked

Safe news and politics, but also a little comic relief.

iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, What's run Through?
Caroline Levitt having a White House Press briefing right now,
cut thirty one. She's saying, we made them a good offer,
maybe even an offer you could say that they could
not refuse, and they refused.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Cut thirty one.

Speaker 9 (34:36):
Just negotiators offered a lit to lift crippling sanctions on
Iran and even provide nuclear fuel to Iran at no
cost to support a civil nuclear power program. They additionally
had the opportunity to accept US support as an investor
in potential projects to develop peaceful nuclear energy together under
a mutually agreed upon framework. Yet in response, Iran would

(34:59):
have to forfeit there in Richmond capacity once and for all.
But Iron rejected. They accepted none of these generous and
unprecedented offers by the United States. Simply put, they refuse
to say yes to peace.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Well said, that is Caroline Levitt just a few moments
ago in the White House, Ron and Spokane, really quick,
what you got for us?

Speaker 5 (35:21):
What I have for you is as epic fury works out,
you think President Trump is going to be open to
profrating some of Iraq's Iran's oil revenues and I'm thinking
maybe limited to half of the sales to China to
rebuild our military.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
I think that there will likely be some form of
resolution that involves Iranian oil, and much like we've seen
with Venezuela, I don't think that's a bad take at all.
Funny talkbacks Allison from la KFYI listeners out there, cut
Oh hey guys, this.

Speaker 10 (35:58):
Is Alison from LA I was not a supporter of
Clay trying to swim with the sharks from Alcatraz, but
I highly suggest he goes back to that plan and
forget about the going to North Korea plans.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Very funny, very well played.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
I think you're safe for swimming from Alcatraz and you
are going to North Korea.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
I think that's probably true.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Melanie in Huntington, West Virginia, appreciate all the mountaineers out
there cut peat place.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
For the love of all that's holy. Can we change
the subject and go back to putting play in.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
A Korean jail?

Speaker 2 (36:35):
He was talking about the six sexes from that crazy
man Tallerico Bucket. We come back, we'll dive into the
Texas Senate results. We're scheduled to also have a guest
from Israel. All that more third Hour, Clay and buck
You won't want.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
To miss it. See all on the flip side.
