Buck Sexton discusses President Trump’s claim that Iran has agreed to never develop a nuclear weapon, though Tehran has not confirmed it, raising questions about whether this is a true breakthrough or part of a broader pressure strategy. At the same time, ICE agents are being deployed to airports to help ease TSA staffing shortages and long lines, a move supporters call practical but critics say blurs the role of federal enforcement in everyday travel, highlighting major shifts in both foreign policy and domestic operations.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. Does Trump have a massive
breakthrough in the Iran war? Has he gotten the concession
necessary to wrap this whole thing up and take a
(00:31):
victory lap along with it. Let's dive into that. Also,
Ice deployed to airports, Linda the caller on Clay and Buck,
changing the course of American history. Even on the late
night talk shows, they are paying homage of sorts to
Linda's brilliance. We will talk about that as well. But
(00:52):
let's first start with this President Trump saying earlier today
that Iran has agreed to his biggest demand. He says, quote,
they will never have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that.
Now Tehran is not saying this publicly, so it's not
yet confirmed. Here's something you got to know about Trump.
(01:14):
The way he negotiates is to just have a constant
fusillade of carrots and sticks. It's threats and sweet sweet
nothings and sweet inducements, and you know, it's promises of
good things, it's retribution bad things on the other side.
(01:36):
He just off balances anybody who tries to put him
into a corner. Nobody puts Trump in a corner. And
that's what he's doing with the Iranian interlock eators here
or the people that are on his behalf negotiating. But
understand this. He knows that every public statement is part
of that negotiation too, Right. Trump's public pronouncements when he
(01:58):
goes and says, hey, if Iran doesn't do the following,
I'm going to bomb them even more to smithereens. He
might say that on the White House to a bunch
of reporters. The Iranian regime is seeing that too. They're
very aware of this, and they know that a promise
that he is making to his supporters, to his voters,
(02:18):
to the American people is something that they have to
take into account among all the other things going on
as well. So this is how Trump does trump Ism
when it comes to the international stage. And if he
has gotten an agreement that there's no nukes, what I
would want to know is how do you enforce that?
(02:43):
Or I guess you'd have to have some very specific
step by step program of intrusive inspections. I'm not really sure, honestly,
No one seems to be really sure, says Trump is
clear he wants Iran to give up all of its
nuclear material down to the nuclear dust. We want the
(03:04):
nuclear dust, he says, We're going to want that. That
was what he told reporters earlier to or earlier yesterday,
I should say, Department of War gearing up to send
thousands of troops from the eighty second, eighty second Infantry Division,
eighty second Airborn to the Middle East. Pentagon expected to
announce this three thousand person brigade combat team to be deployed.
(03:27):
That's the Wall Street Journal reporting. So, look, this is
a group that can this is a military instrument, a
military unit that can get things going very quickly and
can deploy a full brigade within seventy two hours. So
now we're seeing where I think Trump is trying to
(03:49):
take all of this, which is to get some kind
of an agreement from Iran that will lead to a
de escalation of our kinetic strikes, effectively our air campaign,
the one way war of sorts that's going on right now,
and then to continue to just move forward into a
better place for the region and mollocrasy that is defanged
(04:14):
is the term you keep hearing over and over again.
It seems to me that regime change has essentially been
it's not taken off the table. But that's not a condition.
That's not an ultimate goal anymore of what's going on here.
It's just to make sure that Iran cannot realistically, in
any timeframe, get a nuclear weapon. Now, part of this
(04:39):
is going to be how much of the nuclear know
how do the Iranians still have Once the oil starts
flowing and the bank accounts start getting filled again in Tehran,
then they're going to start building this stuff up. I'm
wondering how a promise to never get a nuclear weapon
(04:59):
if you're the mullus, I mean, the problem isn't so
much that we don't want anyone to have a nuclear
weapon in Iran. It's we don't want the people that
are currently in charge in Iran. We don't the Islamic
Revolution and the IRGC and these Mullahs and these these
wackos to have their finger on the nuclear button. So
(05:20):
the issue to me seems to be more the user
even than the tool in a sense, because eventually I
don't see how we can continue to prevent Iran from
having nuclear capability. Down the line if they want to
keep pursuing it, at some point they will get to
a breakthrough status unless we think they're so miked up
and where our surveillance and intelligence on them is so good,
(05:42):
which maybe it is now considered we blew up a
whole meaningful of all their top leadership, and the Israelis
clearly have mapped out the Iranian human and physical and
geographical terrain. But Trump is saying there's a breakthrough. Is
there a breakthrough? It could be part of his gamut
here as well. This could be Trump doing what Trump does,
(06:05):
which is just constantly shift the grounds of the discussion.
And he may say there's a breakthrough today and there
could be a whole lot of bombing tomorrow. Got to
get the straight of horror moves open. Have to get
to a place where things are moving to a conclusion
here with this Iran conflict. Now our sponsor is Birch Gold. Look,
(06:27):
look what's going on with the straight of hormor moves.
A lot of uncertainty out there. And when that happens,
you know what happens with gold price goes up. Gold
is a store of value, particularly in times of economic uncertainty.
Global upheaval. So buying some gold right now would seem
to make a whole lot of sense. And you could
even have gold in attack shelter retirement account if that's
(06:48):
what you want to do. If that's right for you,
Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or
four oh one k into an IRA in gold. Just
text my name Buck to ninety eight ninety eight ninety
eight to receive your free info kit on gold, no obligation,
just use some information. Text Buck to ninety eight ninety
eight ninety eight. Text Buck to ninety eight ninety eight
(07:09):
ninety eight. Ten day. Now, I gotta say I love
this deployment of ice officers. Now this comes Trump says
his idea, okay, And he's the guy, he's the decider.
So in a sense it is his idea because he
had to implement this and go forward with it. And
maybe he had the idea before. But Linda on our show,
as we have been talking about, while Clay was taking
(07:31):
calls on Friday and I was driving up to a
book event, Linda called in with this brilliant idea of
why don't you deploy ice to the airports to help out?
It has happened seventy two hours from phone calling to
Clay and Buck to the White House. Has the Executive
branch authority given to DHS to put ICE officers in
airports to help out with all of the backlog of
(07:54):
travelers trying to get through these TSA checkpoints. This is
a brilliant maneuver and it's exactly the kind of problem
solving that you want to see from the Trump administration.
So I am loving this, and also the fact that
they're using this as an opportunity so that the American
people can see ICE just being helpful, just doing jobs
(08:14):
on behalf of the taxpayer of Americans right doing things.
They're handing out water, they're taking they're holding spots in
line for people that have kids and that they have
to take them to the restroom. So because the lines
are still very long in some places, but ICE are
just there to help out. Now. I wonder if there's
going to be more ICE enforcement operations going on too
at these airports, but for right now, the primary mission
(08:36):
is clearly to make these lines shorter. And I just
have to say for the American people, for anyone is
paying attention to this, it should be so clear that
the Democrats are really Their position on so much, their
position on all of this stuff is, if we can't
(08:57):
be in power, we will do anything to make the
American people miserable. We will do anything we can to
inflict pain and then blame the people who are in
charge because they couldn't stop the pain that Democrats are inflicting,
and just hope that this is enough to give them
control the House the midterms. They have nothing else. You'll
(09:19):
notice that they have no ideas. They want to pretend
like they're the health care party. You know, they're better
at healthcare. Obamacare is an abject failure in the most
It's like the Inflation Reduction Act that didn't stop inflation
at all. Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, made healthcare unaffordable.
It did the exact opposite of what the name of
(09:40):
the law promised to the American people, and of course
what Obama promised and all the rest of it. The
whole thing is a farce. It's preposterous. It's made healthcare
worse for everyone. And because there's just a refusal to
understand that the government isn't going to make this better,
and the government isn't going to make it more efficient,
and really what you're supposed to have here is a
(10:03):
bureaucracy of so called experts and technocrats taking health care
from you and giving it to other people, including a
legal alia, including people that just arrived here. So you
might have to wait in your local er for six
hours if you fall off a ladder and you really
need help. But you can sleep well at night knowing
that your very high taxes are going to give illegals,
(10:23):
you know, heart transplant surgery as soon as they arrive
in this country. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
it would cost about a million dollars by the way,
for a heart transplant, maybe more than that. Now, that's
the cost of that kind of a surgery. So yeah,
you would think that more Americans would just be waking
up to this. But so much of this stuff with
politics is just a function of tribal allegiance for people.
(10:44):
You know, I'm on team good Guy because I vote Democrat.
I'm a nice person. I vote Democrat. It doesn't even matter.
You look at the results of the Trump anti crime
surge in places like DC and Memphis. Huge success. Huge success.
Something as objective as fewer people are dead, fewer people
got shot because of Trump's utilization of federal law enforcement resources.
(11:10):
He was right, the critics were wrong. They don't care.
They don't care, and on immigration and customs enforcement, they
just don't want there to be. First of all, that
the American people rejected Bidenism, which is just pure open
border disaster. Ten million people coming into the country, I mean,
the biggest worst open border, a complete catastrophe for America.
(11:34):
That's what happened under Buiding. The American people clearly rejected that,
rejected Kamala Harrison twenty four. But now the whole game is, oh, no,
we want immigration enforcement. Democrats say, we just want it
to be nicer. We want we want to see the
faces of the ice officers. We want to have everybody
who's going to get deported, even if they're a heinous
criminal and an illegal alien. We want to have five hearings,
(11:57):
ten hearings. It's going to take. It's got to take
for Democrats will say they agree on enforcing immigration law,
it's just going to take ten years to deport one person,
every single person. It's got to take years in years
and years, which effectively makes it impossible. That's the whole point.
This is what they're doing. This is a Lensky stuff.
This is abuse the system, this is make everybody else miserable,
(12:23):
and that's what they're doing. So you know, this has
overwhelmed the system and it's just the most obvious stuff
with them. Anyway, they're appalling, and that's how I feel
about that, that's for sure. Puretalk is my cell phoned company,
and I choose them because their service is so good,
(12:44):
their customer service is great, and they're pricing redefine the
industry for the benefit of all. They're also a long
time sponsor of this podcast series. They've stood with me
on this show for five years. Pure Talk is veteran
led and helping veterans is the north Star. They donate
over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, and
Puretalk creates American jobs by building a customer service team
(13:04):
that's one hundred percent based in the US. Puretalk utilizes
