Normally Podcast: Understanding the US-Iran Conflict

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Jun 23 2025

The hosts dive into breaking news about escalating tensions between Iran and the United States following President Trump's ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Buck returns from France to discuss how Trump authorized "Bunker Buster" strikes targeting three main nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend, causing substantial damage. The hosts examine the partisan response, noting that Democrats like AOC quickly called for Trump's impeachment over the military action, which Clay and Buck find hypocritical given similar actions during previous administrations.

The conversation shifts to developing news about Iran's retaliatory missile strikes, with reports of explosions over Doha, Qatar, where U.S. military bases are located. The hosts discuss Iran's announcement of "Operation Baat AFA" targeting American bases, comparing it to Iran's response after the Soleimani assassination when Iran fired approximately 100 missiles at U.S. bases with minimal casualties

The hosts praise former President Trump's Saturday night address alongside Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance, highlighting Rubio's compelling interview on CBS where he discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions and their deteriorating infrastructure. The conversation also explores how authoritarian regimes like Iran respond primarily to shows of strength rather than diplomatic arguments. Clay and Buck suggest that the Biden administration's perceived weakness, particularly after the Afghanistan withdrawal, emboldened adversaries, contrasting this with Trump's approach to foreign policy.

The hosts address some criticism from Republican figures, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that the US was entering "World War III," which they characterized as an overreaction to current events in the Middle East.

Hour 1 - Mission Creep?

In the opening hour of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts dive into breaking news about escalating tensions between Iran and the United States following President Trump's ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Buck returns from France to discuss how Trump authorized "Bunker Buster" strikes targeting three main nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend, causing substantial damage. The hosts examine the partisan response, noting that Democrats like AOC quickly called for Trump's impeachment over the military action, which Clay and Buck find hypocritical given similar actions during previous administrations.

The conversation shifts to developing news about Iran's retaliatory missile strikes, with reports of explosions over Doha, Qatar, where U.S. military bases are located. The hosts discuss Iran's announcement of "Operation Baat AFA" targeting American bases, comparing it to Iran's response after the Soleimani assassination when Iran fired approximately 100 missiles at U.S. bases with minimal casualties. Hour 1 also touches on domestic politics, including discussion of Zoran Momani, described as a "shocking socialist" who is surging in New York City's Democratic primary polls, which the hosts view with concern. The show highlights Israeli billboards thanking President Trump for U.S. support amid the ongoing conflict that began with the October 7th Hamas terror attacks.

Hour 2 - Rubio Rising


In Hour 2 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provide in-depth analysis of Iran's missile response to recent US military actions. They discuss how Iran's attack appears to have been deliberately telegraphed and minimal, with missiles being shot down without causing significant damage or casualties. Clay and Buck emphasize that this measured response likely stems from Iran's limited military capabilities and fear of further US retaliation. The hosts praise former President Trump's Saturday night address alongside Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and JD Vance, highlighting Rubio's compelling interview on CBS where he discussed Iran's nuclear ambitions and their deteriorating infrastructure.

The conversation in Hour 2 also explores how authoritarian regimes like Iran respond primarily to shows of strength rather than diplomatic arguments. Clay and Buck suggest that the Biden administration's perceived weakness, particularly after the Afghanistan withdrawal, emboldened adversaries, contrasting this with Trump's approach to foreign policy. They examine how Iran's quality of life has declined dramatically despite its historical significance, questioning whether these conditions might eventually lead to internal challenges from the Iranian people. The hosts additionally touch on concerning developments in New York City politics, expressing alarm about potential leadership changes and their implications for America's largest city.

Hour 3 - Keep Calm, This is Not World War III

In hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts provided breaking news coverage of Iran's missile attack on a US base in Qatar. They reported that all Iranian missiles were intercepted with no American casualties, suggesting Iran had "effectively thrown in the towel" with what appeared to be a face-saving gesture following the weekend's impressive US B-2 bomber strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The hosts discussed how Iran seems increasingly isolated, with Saudi Arabia and Qatar both condemning the Iranian strikes, contradicting predictions that other nations would oppose US involvement.

 

The conversation shifted to New York City politics, with Buck (a former New York resident who relocated to Florida) and Clay discussing the concerning mayoral situation where Andrew Cuomo might be the "best case scenario" despite his controversial COVID-19 record and resignation over sexual harassment allegations. They examined how high taxes in states like New York, California, and Illinois are driving wealthy taxpayers to more affordable states like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. The hosts also addressed some criticism from Republican figures, particularly Marjorie Taylor Greene's claim that the US was entering "World War III," which they characterized as an overreaction to current events in the Middle East. The hour concluded with Clay thanking WTCM Newstalk 580, a new affiliate in Traverse City, Michigan.

Team 47 - The Importance of the First Amendment

Arynne Wexler and Clay discuss the situation in Iran, the potential for Israel to take military action against Iran, and the broader implications for US national security and foreign policy. The discussion covers topics such as the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, the role of the Iranian people, and the debate within the US over how to approach the Iran issue.

Clay also interviews FCC Chairman Brendan Carr about how do we empower the local broadcasters to serve the public interest and allow them to get some distance from the national programmers that are really just generating content in Hollywood and New York.
