I am in Washington, D.C., and we have had a big day of news. Let me try to put you back into perspective for where everything is. First of all, I encourage you to go sign up for the podcast, go sign up and subscribe on YouTube. First hour of the program, I went through line by line the proposed agreement with Iran based on the Wall Street Journal having published the memorandum of agreement. So if you are interested in a detailed deep dive of what is actually in the agreement.

and analysis of it, not just people talking who didn't read the agreement. I worked through the entire thing for all of you in our number one. Podcast is up. You will be able to check that out. Here is what I would say, in summation, big picture what the agreement represents. The straight of Hormuz is wide open. There is an immediate obligation to open the Strait of Hormuz. There is no recognition whatsoever that there can be any sort of toll, any sort of price demands, any sort of tariffs, any sort of demand from Iran at all. Strait of Hormuz is required to be free and open without restriction. That is the biggest immediate outcome. There is an agreement to unfreeze existing Iranian assets that were frozen. It is my understanding when the bombing began in Iran back at the end of February. There is no money going from the United States to Iran. Iran is able to sell oil and gas. There is a proposal on the framework there to potentially finance. some investment in rebuilding Iran that could end up being occurring if Iran follows through on the obligations, responsibilities, and promises that it made in this agreement. As it pertains to nuclear weapons, it's an agreement to continue to negotiate. Much of this agreement in general is an agreement. to continue to negotiate. It's an agreement to agree, which is why I look at the concrete outcome, straight of Hormuzes open, unfreezing of Iranian assets. Those are the two things that I think are the most significant that occur in this agreement. Again, hour number one, super deep dive line by line. I tell you what is in it, what is not in it. Okay. President Trump, while we were doing the show in the first two hours, had a ton to say, okay? And I want to play some of those cuts for you that came out of the press conference. By the way, last hour, Senator Josh Hawley making big news with us on... We talked yesterday about the idea of wearing pride uniforms, rainbow hats, all those things in Major League Baseball. Three different players wrote Bible verses on those hats. And Senator Josh Hawley said that if there is a fine, if the commissioner punishes the players in any way that he is going to demand. that Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and that he will begin an examination of why Major League Baseball deserves an antitrust exemption under federal law, an exemption that is worth.

billions of dollars to them. 800, 282, 282, 282, if you guys want to weigh in, wide variety of takes that have been rolling through a lot of you weighing in, and we will continue to play those. But I want to let you all hear from President Trump in his G7 press conference. Here he is, cut 37. A wise man once said in January of 2020, Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation. Who said that? Donald Trump. That's what I thought you were going to say. So how do you go back to the United States and convince a skeptical American public that this deal is a win? Well, look, here they lost militarily, okay? It's very tough because... I know that no matter what, if I would go, by the way, if I'd go another three or four weeks, the same people that are critical would say, he went too long, he should have done, you know, no matter what. If they raise the white flag of surrender, and if they said praise be to Allah, Donald Trump is the greatest president ever, we totally concede, we totally give up, this war is over, we have failed. The New York Times and CNN and a couple of others are not all that dishonest. Iran had a great victory. They practically do that. It was amazing when we knocked out their last ship. They had 159 ships. When we knocked out the last ship, the Times refused to do a story on it. They said, they don't have a Navy, and you don't want to do a story on it. They don't have an Air Force. You don't want to do a story. We need a fair press. And that's why they're all doing so badly because they lost credibility. Look, that's why President Trump is 100% correct. There is no resolution to this war that could lead to left-wing media praising him. It would not occur. As he has pointed out, Iran no longer has a Navy. Iran no longer has an Air Force. Iran no longer has, to a large extent, leaders. By every metric under which we determine who won a war, Iran didn't just lose. They got obliterated. Now the question is, how do you lay down arms? What is the method by which the... Conflict comes to a close. And I understand some of you out there are going to say, well, we still have the IRGC, the Iranian National Guard, the crazy religious fundamentalists are still in control. And I say, that's true. And if your goal was complete regime change, and I say complete regime change, because that means the existing government basically doesn't have control anymore, because there was a regime change. We have new leadership. Complete regime change, I think you're going to have to put tens of thousands of American troops in Iran. I don't know how many of you would be willing to do that. I think one of the great... Among many unfortunate aspects of our failure with Iraq and Afghanistan is there now is a belief that boots on the ground in the Middle East is a waste of time. It's a waste of men. It's a waste of overall American force to even attempt to put boots on the ground. Buck, I'll give Buck credit. Those of you've been listening for a long time.

said from the start, you can't overthrow the Iranian government from the skies. You have to put boots on the ground. Overwhelmingly, it seems that Americans do not want boots on the ground. If that is the conclusion and the president's not going to put boots on the ground, this is basically the way this conflict is going to have to end, negotiated settlement of some form. And that's where we are. Cut 40. President Trump weighing in on the situation in Maine, pointing out an irony that we have certainly delivered many times on this program. He's been called a Nazi now for basically 10 years. And now they're running the guy with the actual Nazi tattoo, Democrats, cut 40. The generics are very interesting because the Republicans are coming up strong even before this. You know why they're seeing all these lunatics like the guy in Maine? with the swastika you know for 10 years they've been calling me a nazi and now they have a nazi run he's got a tattoo on him i've been denying it for 10 years they know it's not so but they've been calling i don't think they can call it to me anymore you know Okay, and then on top of that, President Trump, still with a sense of humor, he said, you know, if it doesn't work out, JD Vance is to blame. Cut 41. There's some element to this where you send the vice president. If it works out, great, you look like a genius for sending him. And if it doesn't work out... It's the vice president. I like that idea. Sure. This way if it works out, I'm going to take the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD. You better be careful, JD. He's going to turn his plane around and get the hell out of here. Yeah, I like that idea. I think it's a good idea. So very funny, President Trump. If it works out, I get all the credit. If it doesn't work out, it's JD Vance's fault. By the way, I was going to mention right off the top, the Fed has held interest rates steady as there is an expectation that the overall rate of inflation is going to be coming back substantially because most of the rate of inflation was predicated on an increase in oil and gas prices. And as we have told you this week, oil and gas prices have collapsed. And you are soon going to be seeing, if you have not already, rapidly declining oil and gas prices. I was on the way to the airport yesterday. And as I was driving past gas stations in the vicinity of the Nashville airport, some of them have now moved below $3.50 a gallon. So rapid order collapse under $4 nationwide. And that is going to be... that is going to be significant. Lindsey Graham, by the way, speaking of the memorandum of understanding, he is now saying the memorandum of understanding is going to benefit the United States and that he is on board. Why do I mention Lindsey Graham as I'm talking to you? This has just happened in the last little bit. There has been an element of what I would say are the most aggressively militant anti-Iran.

contingent of the United States media on the right that has said, we are going too kind, this is too generous to Iran, and that opposition seems to be crippling in general. So, um, Worth keeping into a mind all of that. I'm going to get to your talkbacks. I'm going to get to your discussion points. Also, like I said, Senator Marsha Blackburn is going to join us as well. Let's play a couple of funny cuts here as we get ready to finish the opening segment here. Ryan in Wisconsin, WISN, cut E. Clay Ryan from Wisconsin here. They send all them Scottish fans to Wisconsin here. We never run out of beer. That is maybe true. People in Wisconsin drink more than anywhere else, but maybe the Scottish fans unexpectedly, like I said, triple what is usually consumed in Boston on St. Paddy's Day. The Scottish fans are living their best lives. Earlier, Patty, not happy with the agreement. Patty in Pennsylvania, cut D. This is completely pointless, in my opinion, because if the regime stands, it is just going to end up being the same way as it always has been. And then what about the Iranian people? What about them and their safety? What is going to happen if this regime is not changed? This is completely pointless, and everybody should be angry about this. Okay, you are certainly entitled to have that opinion. My response to Patty from Pennsylvania would be similar to the one that I had a bit earlier. If you are unhappy with this result, the only way to change the result from an aggressive perspective is to put boots on the ground and say, we're going to overthrow this regime and we're going to risk American lives to do it. Are you willing to do that? I would argue the vast majority of you would say no to that. So to me, you kind of follow a, you know, what are those things called where you get yes or no and you just either check yes or no and it takes you to the next? Is there an official name for that? You know what I'm talking about the flow chart? You say, hey, do you, like we would start with this broad question. Would you like there to be a new government in Iran? I think most of you listening right now would say yes. Unless you are the Gayatola and you're listening to us right now from your cave somewhere, he might say no, he might be happy. But I think most of you, other than the Gayatollah, assuming he's alive, you would say yes, okay? Would you like the regime to be removed? Second question, are you willing to put boots on the ground, troops in Iran, in order to do so? I think most of you would say no. some of you would say yes and if that's the answer then you're willing to commit a lot those of you who say no then if you're not putting boots on the ground you're not going to change the existing Iranian government and so then it becomes okay what is a negotiated settlement look like and I think once you get into hey we've got to get a negotiated settlement I think what most of you would say is heck I just want three dollars a gallon oil and gas again clay

But then you have to open the straight of four moves, which is what the government is getting, and you're going to get $3 oil and gas again. And then some of you are going to say, well, this whole thing was pointless. What did we gain at all? And my answer to you is Iran can't have nuclear weapons. And they're not going to have nuclear weapons for years and years into the future, hopefully decades into the future. And if we could go back in time, as I have said, and if President Clinton could avoid his intern embryos, if he could instead have kept North Korea from getting nuclear weapons, the world would be a far better place. I think basically President Trump has ensured that Iran is not going to be North Korea. That to me is a very good result. Some of you disagree. We will open up phone lines. We will open up talkbacks. And all of you can tee off. In the meantime, unless you're a medical professional, chances are you're guessing about your health or asking Google. That's not always a good idea. When it comes to what we eat, trial and error. Sometimes we feel great. Other times we don't. And when we don't, that can be a world of hurt, lost time. Truth is, we don't know exactly.

Last night, big decisions made. Alabama basically elected a new senator. We need to get him on. I'll tell producer Ali will invite him as Alabama is going to elect a Republican. But big runoffs. Governor and Senator in the Georgia Republican primary, Rick Jackson, billionaire, pulled off an upset over the lieutenant governor, and he now will be the nominee for the Republicans running against Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Mike Collins beat Derek Dooley, and he will be running against Jon Ossoff. Everyone listening to us right now in the state of Georgia. I would argue to you that the two most important states right now that are battleground states that are having multiple big elections this upcoming midterm, Georgia and Michigan. Both of them have non-incumbent senators and non-incumbent governors. And so they're going to have an open Senate. and an open governor's race, and you guys really largely can control the fate of the country. If Jon Ossoff were to lose in Georgia, then there's no possibility, basically, of Democrats taking back control of the Senate. And if Mike Rogers were able to win in Michigan, there's also...

No chance of Democrats taking back control of the Senate. Two big governor's races there as well. But that was, to me, the biggest results that we saw come out of last night's primary season. What I tell all of you, when you switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk, you're aligning with a cell phone company that shares your values. In the two months surrounding our nation's 250th anniversary, Pure Talk is taking a percentage of their revenue this month and next and donating it to America's Warrior Partnership. a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping our returning veterans. America's Warrior Partnership stands on the front line of preventing veterans suicide. They do it by covering the basics. They help with housing, transportation, counseling, and access to VA benefits. Here's how you can play a part. When you switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk this month, you'll have an opportunity to round up to support America's Warrior Partnership. Pure Talk will match your donation. Just I'll pound 250. say Clay and Buck to be connected to Pure Talk's friendly U.S. customer service team. Again, from your cell phones, that's pound 250, say Clay and Buck to start saving.

Yes, and of course, passing the Save America Act is something that we continue to try to do, those of us that have been on that bill since day one, since the authorship of it. And what we're looking at doing is breaking it apart and passing one piece at a time. And my bill, the Election Security Partnership Act, would incentivize... states to check their voter rolls against the safe system that is housed at the Department of Homeland Security. The safe system has a database that includes the name of every single individual that is in the country, illegally or legally, illegally that they know of, I will land. But if someone shows up in the safe system, then they would be removed from the voter rolls. The reason this is important is with motor voter and those laws, people get registered to vote when they get a driver's license. You have people that are here on work visas. They get a driver's license, or maybe they're a permanent resident. But they're not allowed to vote. You should be a citizen. You've got to be a citizen to vote. And by... Checking against this list, it's amazing. 26 states use it. Texas found 2,700 people that were registered to vote who were not citizens. Ohio found over 1,000. They actually found 160 that had been voting since the year 2000. And so they were able to remove these individuals from the voter rolls. And when you look at the small margins in some of these elections, you want to make certain that people who are qualified to vote are voting. And then these states can check that voter roll. There is no cost. They're not having to turn over names. They go into the system and they check it themselves. is just designating someone to check your voter roll, run that query against this system, doing it about once every three months, knocking off any names that were put there. that are not citizens. And then, you know, there are other databases that they can use. The IRS has a database. Social Security has a database. But you can make certain that only people that are citizens that are voting. And it makes certain that states that mail out ballots, that they're not mailing to people that are deceased. They would get that information off the IRS system. So this is something that is such a positive. We incent them. They would get a plus up on any of their grants that are coming for election integrity out of the Department of Justice and Homeland Security. So we think incentivizing good behavior, incentivizing, complying with the law is a good thing because...

Some of these states that have their blue states or they have a governor that is a Democrat, they still have conservatives in their legislature. And we know state legislatures are always looking for a way to get a little bit more money from the federal government. Okay, you probably have talked to the president quite a ton about the situation in Iran since it started in late February. Reports are a memorandum of understanding, a memorandum of agreement. We ran through some of the particulars of that as reported by the Wall Street Journal. What would you tell the president? You may well even be able to say what you have told the president about what you would suggest if he asked you. Objectives should be with Iran, particularly because you're going to be on the ballot coming up in the fall. And I'm sure you have noticed gas prices increasing. I've heard from a lot about constituents. Although, as I just said, I flew out of Nashville yesterday. And prices on my route to the airport were under 350 a gallon in the Nashville area, which is coming back a ton. compared to where they were in May? Yes, prices are beginning to fall. And surviving through these economic times are important. Getting those prices down, absolutely. That needs to be a priority. We want to make certain that Iran never has a nuclear weapon. And that is number one on the president's list. We have to make certain that Iran stops funding these terrorist organizations, whether it's Hamas or Hezbole or the Hussis. They get about 90% of their funding every year directly from Iran. And when you look at the number, the thousands of Americans that have lost lives are been injured because of the activities of the IRGC or some of these terrorist organizations, then Iran needs to stop funding terrorism. They have to open up the strait. so that they're and never never be able to charge tolls and stop putting mines in the straight and this is something that everyone agrees with all their all the neighboring countries everybody over in their neighborhood says we don't want to run to ever develop or purchase a nuclear weapon. They cannot have a nuclear warhead. They have got to stop funding this terrorist activity and bringing this chaos into the Middle East. So getting those things into an agreement and making certain that Iran does not get any, not one penny, not one penny of US taxpayer money. And we know Iran's goal has been to

death to America and death to Israel. That's been their goal. And by the way, what we have learned is that the guy, that the group that was targeting me for assassination, it was because I support Israel. And let me tell you something, I stand with Israel and continue to stand with Israel. Marsha Blackburn, how troubled are you by the number of people who don't stand with Israel? Well, when you look at all of this anti-Semitism that is taking place and you look at the vitriol and we look at how Israel is stood with us and... in the Middle East and with what has transpired there. And then biblically, you look at the command that God has given us to stand with Israel and with their people. And it is just one of those things that you say, what are components where you are just firm? This is one of them. And I find it very sad that you have people that feel like we should betray Israel or we should denounce Israel or we should move away from Israel. They've been an amazing partner with us as we have worked with them to develop. the dome and David Sling and the arrow and some other national security components that President Trump is looking at how we utilize some of that technology with the gold dome that he is wanting to do and with missile defense systems that will help to protect our nation and to help to protect future generations of Americans. That's what we want, a safe country where our kids can dream those big dreams, and they can work and have those dreams come true and not have to put their head on the pillow every night and worry about a nuclear-powered Iran with a nuclear warhead. So President Trump said he was going to end endless wars, and certainly Iran has been at war with the U.S. and Israel for 47 years. Thank you, Marsha Blackburn. Campaign season underway soon. I'm sure we're going to be talking to you again, but appreciate the time today. You got it. Take care. Bye-bye now.

Welcome back in Clay and Buck closing up shop on the Wednesday edition of the program here from Washington, D.C. Buck's scheduled to be back with us tomorrow. We have had an awesome show. Senator Josh Hawley. and Senator Marsha Blackburn both, as well as Andrew Giuliani, who's in charge of the World Cup, lots of news, breaking down the entirety of the Iran deal, as it is written presently, according to the Wall Street Journal. I encourage you to go download the podcast. That's in the first hour. If you want real specifics, not generalities, what's in the deal, why does it matter? hour one in the podcast, you can make sure that you do not miss a moment. I thought you guys would have some fun with this. I was getting ready for bed last night, watching Messi with his, with his hat trick, incredible performance by him, and I sit there. And I happen to glance down on my phone. And it turns out that I'm a homophobe. And I thought that all of you would appreciate this. There is evidently a site called Out Sports. And all they do is talk about gay things relating to sports. There are so many jokes that I could make about the teams that they tend to focus on. But because I'm very mature, I'm not going to do that. Alabama is one of their primary topics. And that said as a Tennessee fan. Out Sports headline. homophobes like Clay Travis are rushing to defend the Giants and three players who gave a middle finger to the gay community on Pride Night. And then there's a big headline. I shared this if you want to go read out sports big piece about me being a homophobe. And I would just like to point out that it's impossible for me to be a homophobe because I love lesbians. And speaking of loving lesbians, back in the day, Rush used to enjoy talking about all of the different ribbons that one needed to wear. And so the team pulled a flashback. This is in April 15, 1993. Rush wanted you to know he loved everything more than you thanks to all of his virtue ribbons. Listen. I, because I'm wearing these ribbons, I care more than any of you about anything.

And these ribbons say so. I want you people sitting at home and you people in the audience. Look down at your lapel right now. When you look down, what do you see? You don't see anything. No ribbons. Rush cared more than everybody long before anybody else could have a multitude of ribbons. But I did think that was interesting given what we've been talking about. I know we got a lot of talkbacks. We'll get to more of those. But really, honestly, major news. It's going to ricochet through quite a lot, I think.
