Play going heavy on the predictions, heavy on the analysis of the politics in the last hour. And we shall see. We're going to keep tracking with it. Some of you still reference Buck Island. Some of you remember the 2024 election. I will tell you, let's see how it shakes out this time around. Play, despite the fact, that he refused, really just left on my doorstep, Kamala Harris's book to be read by yours truly, because he would not deign to read the ghostwritten slop that Kamala Harris put out under her name. He is the one who thinks that she has a better shot of becoming the nominee than me. We shall see how that shakes out, and we will not further litigate that right now. I just wanted to note. It hurt when I had to read that. It was really bad. It was really boring. It was really bad. And Clay avoided that one. Have you given up? I do not in any way. I did not take great pleasure in you being forced to read Kamala Harris's slop, which isn't even Kamala Harris, right? Like they don't even write the ball. Someone else. Are you basically giving up on she's not going to run? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. Pretty, pretty much. I mean, I'm going to hold out like, I'm going to hold it like a lottery ticket, you know. So I'm not going to officially give up that position because I lose either way because maybe. But it's remarkable how weak the Democrat bench really is such that even running the most.

Would ignominious be a good way of describing the campaign? Oh, that's a good word. It's a fun one. Good one to say. A disaster of a campaign, Kamala Harris ran. But just the fact that you know her name might be enough. Also, it is worth remembering. You point this out, but she was 250,000 votes away from winning. I always have to remind people of that. As terrible as she was, it actually wasn't that. And people get mad at that, like I'm somehow downgrading Trump's win. Trump had a huge win with a bullet through his year months before, with four criminal indictments, with, you know, go down the list of all these things. Biggest political comeback, most amazing political comeback in the history of this country. I will say now you've diverted me, though. I was weaving, and now I'm taking a little detour. Because I was going to get us to Trump and Marietta, Georgia, which I want to do. You know what happened last night? And without, I can't tell you that this is anything other than coincidence. Maybe it's divine fate. You mentioned the Abraham Lincoln assassination manhunt book, right? Oh, yeah. Carrie and I, we put speed to bed, and we had a little bit of time, which is kind of rare for us as parents of a young boy. These are a little bit of time to hang. And we, you know, you know what popped up on my recommendations? a show on Apple TV based on that book, Manhunt. Oh, wow. I didn't even know they had made a movie about that book. It's very well done. It's excellent. It's like very high quality series. And it's trying to think of, you know, you would know the actors by sight, but it's not any like famous actors, but they're. Oh, it's an actual movie. Oh, yeah. No, it's not a documentary. No, series, like a scripted series. It's excellent. We watched the first episode last night, and they show, and you would just mention this, they show the guy showing up to Seward's house trying to kill him. And people forget, there was a real plot to take out the president, the vice president, the secretary of state, five days after Appomattox. Think about what that would have done to the country. It is one of the great untold stories of history. The guy showed up at Seward's house, tried to stab him to death. He survived a massive attack. The guy who was supposed to kill Andrew Johnson, I think got drunk and decided not to do it. It just bailed and was like, yeah, I'm not going to do that. But could have, theoretically, the goal was to decapitate the entire government. John Wilkes Booth was successful. They almost stabbed to death the Secretary of State. And the guy who was supposed to kill the vice president just got drunk and didn't end up going through on it. But it's an incredible conspiracy. I watch all any history shows now. I watch with my grok out. My grok out to just. I just want, there are older people, there are older people listening, and I wanted to be clear what I am talking about. Sir, G. R. O. K. Oh, my God. So I'm rocking out with my grok. I just, I, they'd be the worst history viewing experience of all time. Oh, man. You really like history.

Abraham Lincoln Assassination Show. It's not something that I would watch in any kind of happy state. Okay, so, but what I was saying is I watched, Greg. What if you did? That's the, that would be like the number one turnoff of all time. You're like, hey, baby. You want to come over and watch the Lincoln assassination movie, get in the mood? It would be the worst date ever. So what I was saying is, what I was saying is, I like to check the history on this stuff as I go through. And Seward almost, they say he probably would have done. He'd been thrown from a carriage, so he had a metal brace to kind of stabilize his neck. and the brace took some of the brunt of the stabbing so that it was pure fortune that Seward wasn't stabbed to death right there. So you would have had a loss of a Secretary of State and the President in one night. And so now we've just entered the part, by the way, where they're doing the man hunt. But I can tell you, if any of you guys hadn't seen, I didn't even know this existed. It's a great, we only see one episode, but I mean, so far, great series. So a couple of things. One, can you then imagine because Andrew Johnson was from Tennessee. You want to talk about how conspiracies would have spread. If the Secretary of State and the President were both killed and Andrew Johnson survives, oh, you got a Southern sympathizer who is taking over for Lincoln. I mean, that's a crazy political world there. Two, a part of me on Big Tech is thinking, are there microphones on in your house that you would get recommended? This show. immediately after you and I are talking about this? Doesn't that seem too coincidental, honestly? Because we have our iPhones out, which are active listening. Correct. And then it has me linked into my Apple TV. And I think you're, I think you're, yeah, that probably, I didn't even think about that till now, but that is probably what happened. It's amazing. It doesn't get talked about enough. But I know many of you out there have had this experience. You're talking about buying. uh some particular product or going on to vacation some particular place and you're not doing a google search for it but suddenly on your phone or on your world you start getting fed ads of hey look you should take this trip to this particular place and Man, they are turning on and spying. I just think there's so much going on with tech that nobody knows about. It just feels very... Have you ever seen that ad before?

Have you ever seen a Manhunt ad? I didn't know. I would have asked you what I said, have you, because, you know, I've gotten a lot of book wrecks, you know, based off what we've talked about here on the show and I've read through them. I would have immediately been like, oh, have you seen the series? I didn't even know there was a series based on the book. And it's excellent. You know what has? Any of you have seen Outlander. The guy's name is Tobias Menzies. He's a British actor. He's also in the HBO series Rome. He plays. The guy who stabs, you know, Caesar. Brutus. Hey, the guy who stabs Caesar. Yeah, Brutus. Good show, Rome, by the way, that I think if HBO went back to and they did well would be even more popular today. They kind of bailed on it a little bit too soon. It was too expensive. I think it's one of the greatest scripted series of all time, personally. I absolutely love the HBO series Rome. a little more graphic and a little too much sex stuff, just being honest, than I think is necessary. But, yeah, it was a great series. But, yeah, so Tobias Menzies is in it, and he's probably the best known actor I've seen so far, but it's a really, like, everyone should know that. And I'll be honest with you, I had forgotten. I mean, yeah, I learned it back in, you know, AP American history in high school. But the fact that there was not just a plot, there was a, an attempt. I mean, it was an assassination attempt of more than, obviously, Lincoln was successful, tragically, but that they tried to take out the Secretary of State and the Vice President and Clay that it was so close to the end of the Civil War when there were real questions about what if some Confederate generals are just like, you know what, we're actually not done? Yeah. No, I mean, if you study history at all, All of that era, I think the most foundationally important era of all of American history is the seven or eight years surrounding the Civil War. And it's why so much of what happens, if you don't have a historical basis of knowledge in your life. you tend to think everything is the worst thing that's ever happened, or it's the most incomprehensible thing that has ever happened. And so I like to come back. Everybody says, oh, this election is the most important of our lives. You know, we had an election in the middle of the Civil War, 1864, over whether the Civil War should continue. And then we had an election in 1944 during the middle of World War II. Whatever tumult might be going on, and I do think 2020 was a tumultuous year to be certain, it is not as big as one that took place in World War II and one that took place during the Civil War over the very foundation of both the country and the security of the world. Voters went to the polls to let everyone know what they decided. And Laura may actually want to watch the series now, too, because the guy I'm referencing was in the crown as Prince Philip, right? The...

Oh, the older, the prince Elizabeth's husband. Elizabeth's husband. Yes, as Elizabeth's husband in like season three. He's an excellent actor, by the way. Great. But yeah, so that's a series. So now I'm going to have to read the book, but I guess I will have seen the series first. And I wasn't even going to talk to you guys about that, but it just came up. And I was thinking that's so good. And also it reminds me of the young Washington movie movie movie movie movie movie movie movie movie movie movie. watch that together, but I just think that well-made stories about American, some of the craziest, most incredible things in American history, you make them into good movies, you can't miss. This isn't hard. I think you could have a movie studio that that's basically just what you do, and I think you do, or, you know, series, TV series, and I think you do very well. I will bring us back, or we will talk in a little bit here about Trump and Marietta, Georgia. I know we've got some midterm things coming up, but. Also, we like to talk to pop culture here a little bit, like to get into some of that stuff too. And I like to give you reminders about your grok usage. So there's that. Clay, what have you got for us? I mean, I'm still laughing about... It's the worst day ever. You should have seen our chat. Our chat had like a collective aneurysm when that happened on the YouTube chat. You guys should get on the YouTube. I will have Sophia, who is monitoring the chat, pull the funniest comments relating to you watching the Lincoln assassination movie with your grok out. And big 1865 Democrat, Buck Saxton. Israel and its population could stand to have a few more allies like the United States and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. The IFCJ's nonprofit organization established on the East Coast some 40 years ago to help the most vulnerable Jewish residents in Israel, particularly the elderly. They rely on the supportive members of the Christian faith across our country. The IFCJ is all about building upon that fellowship. This month, they're responding to immediate needs in northern Israel. where residents have been subjected to sporadic missile and drone attacks, to recognize the strong relationship between those in the U.S. supporting the IFC's work in Israel. The IFCJ has created a flag pen, something you might wear as a symbol of solidarity. The flagpin has the flags of both the U.S. and Israel, and it's yours for free. Here's how you get it.

And Sophia is monitoring them. Sophia just finished her sophomore year at Vanderbilt. She has been interning, helping out some. Saying Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is smarter than Kamala Harris is like saying dog poop smells better than horse poop. And then many reactions to buck. Clay is grock blocking. I can't wait to say I rock out with my grok out in conversation. Saying having your grok out slower the second time doesn't make it less funny. Grockgate. One of the most awesome moments in radio history. You can go find us live on YouTube, and you will likely have no idea what is going to happen from one moment to the next, just like we don't really know what is going to happen from one moment to the next. You wanted to hit Trump in Marietta yesterday. Do you want to hit a cut? We got our buddy, David Rutherford, part of the Clay and Buck Podcast Network. He is going to be on with us at the bottom of the hour to talk a variety of subjects. But did you have your audio clips? We can hit them here if you would so like. Well, one thing is Trump, because we were in kind of a funny mood a second ago. Here's Trump. First thing, first out of the gate, cut three in Marietta, Georgia. Listen to this.

Well, thank you very much, everybody. It's a special place, and I am here to announce my candidacy. I'm only kidding. I'm only kidding. He's kidding. He's kidding. He also was kidding about Jon Ossoff. This is cut five. I'm not sure. I think he meant someone at play play five. You're terrible Senator Jon Ossoff. He's terrible. And the Democrats in Congress are voting with the communists every single time. They're afraid of the communists. You look at it. Now, I fought ourselves before, as you know, and we won. We had a great success against this guy. He reminds me of Pinky Herman. Do you ever see Pinky Herman? Did you know, is that a, is that a communist? Is that a commie joke where it's Peewey Herman, but he's a Pinky Herman because he's a communist? There is no Pinky Herman, right? No, not that I know of. I mean, I think he's, I don't know if he intentionally made a Pee Wee Herman communist joke or if he forgot whether Pee We Herman was called Pinky Herman or not. Good question. By the way, he also brought up, I thought this was pretty funny for those of you from Atlanta. And yesterday we talked to Mike Collins, who's the nominee in the Republican Senate race, and he was on the stage with President Trump. But he brought up a guy that I knew was a big Trump backer because he, we have discussed it before. But Brian Snitker, who used to be, was the World Series champion Braves manager, just stepped down. He brought him up on the stage, Marietta, Georgia, right by where the Braves play at the battery just north of Atlanta, 106.3, I believe, is our affiliate. Allie, you can correct me if I'm wrong, in Atlanta, listening right now. They've hosted me a bunch of times in that studio. But here is Brian Snickr coming up, and everybody starts doing Buck the Tomahawk Chop, and Trump has some fun with that. Listen. One of the best managers in baseball at Braves legend, Brian Snitker. Brian Snitker, who was recently inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Brian, both of you come up. Would you both come up? Come on up here. They deserve a little credit. They deserve credit. I mean, I've suffered. I've suffered with teams for the years I've suffered. No, listen.

They say you're not allowed to do that. Do it. So that is great for those of you. Yeah, it's become controversial. They say you're not supposed to do it, do it. Vintage Trump. Do you own a business?

We're joined by our friend David Rutherford of the David Rutherford Show, former Navy SEAL. and a guy who just got back from safari. I mean that. He was on safari in Africa. David, great to have you. Rock out with your grok out, man. That was one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time, dude. I'm glad you caught that part. Oh, man, not much. Before we get into the serious stuff, Iran, testosterone checking in the military, all that good stuff. And people may be promised that you're not going to make any Air Force jokes. We talk about that, by the way. But the, if you were left overnight. In South Africa, okay? If you were left overnight, you were in South Africa on Safari, right? Yep, yep, unbelievable. Is it the, if you had to pick between making it overnight when they're on the savannah, just you by yourself, or you have to swim through hippo and crocodile infested waters for six hours, which one do you do? Savannah. Absolutely. Savannah. You're not going to live with the hippos and the crocs. It's just there's no way. They dominate the water. They own the water. But I will tell you, chances me at my age now, I'm not making it on the Savannah either. Unless you get me some kind of like infrared like drone swarm of me. I'm dead. I'm deader than dead. Man, there's no chance. You just went, I'm assuming and got to see, Buck was telling me in South Africa. Was there any point when you were close to animals that you thought maybe this isn't that safe? Because I've seen some of this stuff where people go down to Africa to go on the safaris and they get in canoes and they're coming really close to crocodiles and really close to...

to hippos. And then I see sometimes lions basically standing right alongside, even coming onto some of the safari jeeps. Was there ever a point where you were like, ah, this doesn't feel that safe? I mean, this was my second time doing it, but for my family their first time. And on our fourth night, we were tracking three full grown male lions that were stalking this massive herd of Buffalo. And they were literally like you could reach over and pet them. That's how close they were. And that, I'll tell you what, my. was spinning at that time. But thank God the guide we were with, his, he's fourth generation. He lived on this reserve. You know, he's a 35 year hunter. He's incredible. So, you know, having him in the vehicle, his knowledge base, we were good. And really the reality is if you keep inside that vehicle, you know, the silhouette, they're used to that all day long. So you're, you're, I say, you know, 90% safe. The only time is if there's a stampede in the night and the Buffalo's run in or a bull elephant comes over and knocks in it. But other than that, like, you're good to go. Very cool, Rudd. Has you ever done a Safari, anything like that buck? Top of my list. I want to do it, never done it. So I definitely want to check it out. Not surprised that Rudd is now a second timer with that. Now, let's talk about you were out where we had the announcement, Rut, of the Department of War, the DOW. testosterone checking and TRT infusing policy. Talk to us about this. It was the most significant thing that's come out of this administration in terms of supportive veterans by far and active duty guys. Because as we're ramping up in Iran, the probability of guys going over and continuing deployment cycles is getting higher and higher by the day for sure. And what we've seen, and the reason why it was so critical for me in this memorandum that Pete put out last week was it was the first time. that we saw a person at this level use the term operator syndrome so within that it is this unique constellation of 17 different medical and behavioral health challenges that soldier sailor airmen marines and coasties that for who have long term exposure to high risk training and deployments that the effects of that take over and create this operator syndrome one of the main ones is that is endocrine dysfunction and what happens is as your you get in this hypervigilant state for years and years and years, it has a profound and negative impact on your endocrine system, thereby metabolic dysfunction, which then depletes testosterone production. And so when you have low testosterone as an operator, it can affect mood, sleep, all these things. So to see this memorandum for me in particular, because I've been fighting this battle with a couple of the gentlemen, Dr. Chris Free, Dr. Alo.

Madonna, who wrote the original paper that was published in February 2020, I've been in this fight with them to try and get this idea at the highest echelons of government. And thank God, you know, the Secretary of War has made it an important thing now. So it's going to be revolutionary to our war fighters. We're talking, and David Rutherford, encourage you to go subscribe to his podcast doing fantastically well as a part of the Clay and Buck podcast network. Okay, 12 straight days of strikes on Iran. There now is talk that there may be threats from the Houthis when it comes to Saudi Arabian shipping. Oil and gas prices are up in those 12 days. If the president came to you, obviously you are not seeing national security briefings every day. So we understand that you're not plugged in on that level. But if he said to you, rut, how do we solve it? You would say what? Well, obviously the biggest concern now is, you know, they're starting to hit our bases. You know, we had us unfortunate, you know, we lost four service members, Lieutenant Feehan, Sergeant Ramperset, Private Gonzalez and Sergeant Swinton in my thoughts and prayers to them and their families. You know, this is... the cost of conflict as people dying. And so, you know, I think we're at the precipice of something that you either need to upgrade significantly. Obviously, the biggest concern are the Straits of Hermos. You know, we have 17 ships. We've got enough support. But you need to up the game, right? And so... Unfortunately, that's just the nature of warfare. And so you're going to have to increase your footprint in all of our bases in Iraq and the other bases. You're going to have to launch more strategic strikes. You're going to have to put them on call to be able to take whatever barrage of drone strikes or missile systems from Iran. But I think the next, you know. reality that we have to face is, is, you know, somehow putting troops on the ground and Iran. That seems like what's going to be the next probable reality to be able to shift the strategic dynamics of what's taking place. Do you think that means Carg Island? You think it could be more than just Carg Island, Rut? What's your sense if it does turn into some kind of ground deployment for our troops? Where do you think that happens?

I don't know. I think Carg Island is the thing everybody just keeps repeating because it sounds cool. Everybody knows the name. But there's 117,000 miles of coastline in Iran. There's other strategic locations that you could place soldiers and fighters to conduct different types of missions. And, you know, I just don't know. You have to understand a greater kind of that secret squirrel understanding of the different bases that exist in Iran. You know, maybe deploy. boy, you know, a 75th Ranger battalion take over some strategic base that's remote in Iran that has a complex system and try and assault that and hold that and see what happens there. But it's like it's provoking. It's kind of seen what their reactionary responses are. We've seen what they can do on our friends in our Gulf State region and our basis. So we've got it. We've been probing enough to know what their reaction capabilities are. But maybe it's going deeper in Iran. Maybe it's probing them up near Tehran. I don't know. But I think the Karg Island is not the best tactical approach, but it seems like if you really want to gain control of the strait, because in the long term, that's what's going to lead to the greater problems globally, economically, that type of thing. You know, maybe you have to do that too with how many troops. Some people are saying 15,000 Marines. Some people are saying, I don't know. You know, a thousand special forces. I don't know. I think it really depends on exploring a greater, more vast array of what Iranian vulnerabilities are initially. How much would you think the fact that the midterms are coming up in November should play into this decision? And how much do you think it does? Clay, that is the million dollar question right there, man. Way to be on point. I mean, I think we just saw it. I mean, just we just saw that the Senate passed. a resolution to shut down Trump's war powers or curtail it in some case and had a bunch of Republicans vote on the Democratic side. So I think you're already starting to see it. Now the House did pass, what, a $95 billion supplemental something to keep the war going or whatever. But I think you're already seeing it. You're starting to see people get gun shy as it relates to the war in their campaigns and what's going to take place in the midterms for sure. Dave Rutherford, everybody, also known as Rutt, go check out his podcast. And I'll tell you, Dave, in the chat, in our YouTube chat, people just said, oh, it is our favorite seal. So it's very cool, I got to say, our favorite seal. You guys rock. A good description. You guys rock. Thank you, brother. And I'm glad you're home safe and sound that the leopards didn't get you. A leopard's never going to get the rut. God bless you guys. There you go, man. Thank you. That's right. It doesn't worry about the... Have you noticed how close some of those people get to those animals on those safaris, man? Yeah. It's a little bit intimidating. I don't think I was getting the water. What did you think about the guy? We didn't talk about it, but the guy who was in, was it Yellowstone? I'm assuming Yellowstone. I think it was Yellowstone. Who got the bison just threw him 10 feet in the air?

I felt so bad for that guy because sometimes when people get attacked by animals. You can tell they've provoked the animals and they've put themselves in that situation. That was just, I think he's okay. He is. He was hospitalized, but he's all right, but that was just a mean bison. Yeah, well, he's just, it's a granddad there with his dad from a substantial, I mean, with his grandson, from a substantial distance, they're kind of looking at the bison. And then the bison just went after him. And it felt personal. It felt like. He had insulted the bison's family. I don't know if he did something to the bison's mom back in the day, but it felt like the bison was after him for reasons other than just being a random tourist in Yellowstone. But yeah, the water, man, they're getting really close to crocodiles and hippos. I'm not getting in the water. I'll look over the water, but that was tough. Yeah. And producer Allie is saying it's mating season. And the bison was showing off for the female bison by tossing the human in the air like that. You know what's got a lot of testosterone? The bison. No doubt. Super high level. If you want to go to Yellowstone and hopefully you don't get attacked by a bison while you're there, but maybe you take a lot of great photos. Maybe you got some old VHS tapes back in the day of dad and mom walking around taking footage of you on your family vacations. They're likely somewhere stored right now.

Very funny. Let's see. Derek in Brown Summit, North Carolina, cut E. Guys, if today's content doesn't win you a Marconi award. The system is rigged. I agree. I think we definitely deserve a Marconi. It actually should become the, that would be the perfect slogan for GROC, honestly. I think Elon Musk would love that. You may have just brilliantly managed to brand. You think the unofficial slogan of GROC should be rock out with your GROC out? Yes, 100%. It is pretty good. It is very good. By the way, not everybody's happy. Michelle says I'm racist. Stanford, Connecticut, cut F. Uh-oh. I'd like to call out Clay Travis for the very racist remark and insult and remark he made by seeing all black women would get behind Kamala Harris. No, there's plenty of black women that have, I would say, most of them have a brain of their own. The ones that would get behind Kamala Harris are the over-educated women of all colors. Well, the over-educated women who completely embraced DEI is it's like a sacred religion. Okay. What percentage of black women voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election? 93%. Over 90. Over 90. Yeah. So I apologize for being super racist and saying that the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast majority of black women will vote for Kamala Harris.

That was super racist of me. I apologize. Well, but that was in the general election, right? So I think she's saying in the primary. But even more so, I think in the, again, what Michelle can call back in and say, I apologize to you for calling you racist, Clay, when the data comes out. And black women show up and overwhelmingly vote in the Democrat primary for Kamala Harris. And she is a significant candidate for the nomination overall. I hope Michelle will talk back in and say, I apologize, Clay. As you have pointed out before, it will be interesting to see. the data on black men support, men's support for Pete Buttigieg, if he runs, which he is expected to do. Black guys. Data will be hard to find or maybe easy to find in so much as there won't be very much data because there won't be a lot of support. Black dudes are not voting for the gay white guy. He has a 0% chance of being the nominee. And I don't know why no one else will tell him that, but that is just the fact. It's really funny when you see black voter. breakdowns and Mayor Pete gets 0%. And then for New Hampshire, for instance, white women love him, right? Like, he will do really well in Iowa. He will do really well in New Hampshire. White Democrats love Mayor Pete. Black men in particular are not voting for a gay white guy. Let's see. Richard and North Carolina, Richard, fire away. Last night. to start watching Rome with me. And I just have a question for you guys, is it okay if I watch Rome with the wife with my grok out? Buck said there was too much nudity for him in Rome. Yeah. And if you missed it, Richard, yeah, that's why. I mean. Yeah, right. No, no, no, that's fantastic. Richard is asking, is it okay if he watches Rome with his wife with his grok out? Buck, I don't know that you're ever going to. If you're ever going to recover. I just, I actually think it would be amazing. I don't know that anybody's ever done it. If you went on a date and you said, hey, babe, you want to come over, we're going to watch the Abraham Lincoln. We're going to watch the Abraham Lincoln assassination show. And then you tried to make out with it. First date, like, what do you want to do? Go get coffee, go to dinner. No, babe, I got the manhunt, this Abraham Lincoln assassination show. It's like back in the day when Seinfeld tried to make out with a girl during Schindler's List. I feel like that's probably a tough move. It would be a tough one. Fortunately, Carrie and I already married, so we were able to both make out and watch the show last night, which was quite good, I will tell you. And the grok was quite useful during the checking of the historical facts.
