This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
Welcome in, everybody. Thursday edition of the Clay and Buck show. Let's dive into this, shall we? We've got more on the Iran dealmaking negotiations underway. A ceasefire in fits and starts, fits and pieces, but more or less a ceasefire underway. And we'll tell you where all of that is going. I want to also get into some stories on the crime frontier that are getting national attention. Fraud, which is also a crime. I meant violent crime, but fraud, a different kind of violation of law and what's going on out in California.
What insights do Clay and Buck provide on the Iran negotiations?
People need to know about this. I think. We talk sometimes about overspending, and we talk about our massive welfare state. We have almost a socialist redistribution through fraud scheme underway in a whole bunch of states. Minneapolis got a lot of attention because of the predominantly Somali-American fraud that was occurring there. But California, they're starting to turn over the rocks there to see what's underneath them. Oh, my, is there a lot of fraud? Also, some Republicans trying to, while we're all very focused on Iran, get a little sneaky with their dignity act, it is called. I believe it even has a Spanish name that it is being promoted under. So we will discuss where that is. We'll be joined by Representative Brandon Gill of Texas on that one.
Spoiler alert. Representative Gill does not want amnesty and does not want anyone getting sneaky with an amnesty bill by another name. We'll discuss that with him. And we'll talk to Steve Yates, our national security guru, on the latest situation here with the Iran negotiations. Clay, let's hear. J.D. Vance has been given this. Now, this is interesting to me. On a few levels. We'll get into some of the specifics and some of these J.D. soundbites.
How are recent crime statistics impacting public perception?
As we know, in this New York Times article, which I do think that it's... I would put my money on it's accurate. I obviously don't know. But based on what the different characters are saying in the article and what I've heard from people that know the individuals involved and who have been in some of these conversations... It reads as true. And it's very clear that J.D. Vance was the least enthusiastic about the Iran air campaign, Iran aerial war of anybody. And now he's been assigned the task of trying to spearhead this ceasefire negotiation and turn it into a truce, an armistice, a longstanding agreement of sorts that we're not going to have to do this anymore anymore. So, Vance, first thing he's got to do here, Clay, is clean up some of what has been said already about this, because it was looking pretty bleak yesterday with the 10 points.
This is cut three. Here he is on the status of these negotiations. Play it.
You have some crazy people at the fringes of the Iranian system who are leaking anonymously either for propaganda purposes or because they're embarrassed or because they don't like what happened. And the final point when I say they don't like what happened, what we know is that the United States accomplished its military objectives. What we know is the United States could have imposed significant additional military and economic costs on Iran and still has the capacity to do so. But we thankfully at this point, I think, have a ceasefire thanks to the leadership of the President of the United States. We have the Iranians promising to open the Straits of Hormuz, and we have a negotiation that's supposed to start this weekend.
That's the truth. I think it's a good first step. We're going to see if we can make more progress here in the days to come.
How are you feeling about all this, Clay, today, the day after the big agreement came down?
Look, I think it ultimately comes down to we will know based on ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz how these negotiations are going. And it's what I said yesterday. So far, ship traffic does not seem to be anywhere near normal rates of ingress and egress. And until it is somewhat normal, I think it's hard to argue that things are normalized. Right before we came on, there was news that Israel is going to have direct talks with Lebanon and that, in theory, they may normalize relations.
