What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Welcome back in our number two Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. Reminder, as we have been talking about, today is primary day in the great state of Texas, also in Arkansas and in North Carolina, the very first primaries for the 2026 election cycle. Why does that matter? Well, all of you should go vote and make sure that you get the best possible nominees across Texas. every state, but certainly in those three states in particular where the voting is going on right now. We will have results to talk about tomorrow. You just heard from Congressman Wesley Hunt, one of the three primary contenders running alongside of Ken Paxton and John Cornyn for the Republican nomination in the state of Texas.
What are the implications of the recent Israel-Iran conflict?
Texas on the Democrat side, Jasmine Crockett, James Tallarico, one of those likely to win. We may have runoffs in May. If nobody gets to 50%, we are going to continue to track that story during the course of the day. Obviously, Iran and the fallout of what is going on there remains paramount in terms of the overall interest and attention. We should mention, by the way, that Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma also going to join us in the third hour, and maybe our friend Congressman Chip Roy, who is running for the Attorney General of Texas. He may give us a buzz before he's in the air right now, but before the show ends, he wanted to reach out and make his case for AG, just FYI. But, Buck, I wanted to play this.
This was Trey Yankst, who is doing, let me just say, I don't know how much you're watching Fox News, but the amount of incredible coverage that Trey Yankst is giving us from inside of Israel, where you can see during his broadcast legitimately the bombs that are coming in. Tel Aviv is on a watch right now, but you'll see him. at reacting to as the bombs are hitting, going in and out of the bomb shelters, many people all throughout Israel are doing. He reported a little bit earlier today, right before we came on air, that the Iranian Supreme Council was counting votes to elect a new leader when Israel struck the meeting location. Here is that report, cut 29. I'm told by a senior Israeli official that the Israelis just struck the Supreme Council gathering where the Iranians were meeting to choose a new supreme leader.
This is a significant development and again speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war. They just targeted the meeting in Tehran where what's left of the leadership was gathering to choose a new supreme leader. I don't know about you, Buck, but if I were in Iran right now and I was told to go to a meeting that involved high level Iranian officials, I think I might have a stomachache or I might say, hey, maybe we could do this by phone. I can't believe that they are still showing up in person. and allowing these kind of attacks to happen. I mean, it feels suicidal in nature. I mean, you're a CIA guy, but I don't think you have to be a CIA guy at this point in time in Iran to say, hey, maybe big gatherings, not necessarily something we should be doing.
Well, they're in a tough spot because if you can't gather and you can't decide who's in charge, how can you be in charge? And this is increasingly going to be the problem that the mullahocracy faces over there. who is really calling the shots. If you can't secure your own airspace enough to prevent the enemy, in this case us and Israel, from blowing up essentially anyone, anywhere they want at any time, it reminds me of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises or whatever, when he goes, do you feel in charge? And that's a chilling moment if you remember what happens there. And this gives you power over me? That is pretty much where the Iranian leadership is right now. Do they feel in charge? Because they're not.
I am hopeful that there is some burgeoning resistance movement within Iran that is going to come together.
How is Congressman Wesley Hunt positioning himself for the Texas Senate primary?
But this stuff is very hard, Clay. I mean, you look at what happened with Assad in Syria yesterday. There were various uprisings against the Assad regime before the huge Syrian civil war in which hundreds of thousands of people died starting around 2012.
