Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 20 2026
3/20/202650 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome in Friday edition, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
0:10I am solo with all of you today.
0:12Buck is out Friday and Monday, and we will take you into the weekend with
0:16the absolute latest going on everywhere in the world, most particularly in Iran, where the
0:22news continues to be very positive, despite the way that much of the media is
0:26covering it. We will give you the absolute latest on everything there.
0:31TSA issues, unfortunately, are spreading like wildfire.
0:35I saw this morning as I was getting ready for the show, and there are
0:39probably many other places as well.
0:41New York City, Houston, Atlanta, multi -hour long lines to be able to get through
0:47airport security. John Fetterman is less popular with Pennsylvania Democrats, so much so that I
0:55would argue and may make this case, he should actually flip parties and start to
1:00caucus with the Republicans, or he should potentially run as a independent and caucus with
1:07the Republicans and maybe not be an official member of the overall Republican Party.
1:13I think both of those would probably be better suited because most of his popularity
1:16now in Pennsylvania is with Republicans, not Democrats.
1:20We will talk about that.
1:21We'll have some fun with the NCAA tournament underway.
1:24We've got some fun audio clips for you.
1:27I hope that your brackets are at least somewhat unbusted, relatively speaking.
1:32But we begin with the situation in Iran and with President Trump ruminating, determining, analyzing,
1:41contemplating, potentially going into Karg Island, and that being the ultimate, shall we say it,
1:49Trump card of what might be necessary in order to finally get the Iranian government,
1:56such as it is, to actually stand down.
1:59And there continue to be lots of talks about whether Trump has been influenced by
2:05Israel. And the overall price of oil and gas probably is the number one thing
2:11that is working in any way in Iran's favor.
2:14It might be the only thing.
2:16But I do think the media overall has done a poor job of explaining just
2:21exactly what is going on and how well we are all doing.
2:26Notwithstanding that, a poll came out this morning from Politico that I thought was interesting
2:32and should be shared with all of you.
2:35And that is showing that President Trump in Iran is actually pretty popular overall as
2:42these things go. Nothing is very popular in politics, no matter what side you're on,
2:47except, honestly, the Save America Act, which, of course, can't actually get passed so far.
2:52But Politico asked, do you or do you not support the strikes in Iran?
3:00Overwhelming majorities of Trump voters do, in fact, support them.
3:04Some of you who are hyper online get convinced that a small minority of active
3:09voices online represent larger audiences than they do.
3:13Politico found 81 % support.
3:16More people don't know whether they support this or not than actually oppose it among
3:22the president's voters. Even overall, and this is a poll I shared.
3:26You can go check it out on my Twitter feed, at Clay Travis.
3:31Overall, 43 % of Americans support, this is according to Politico, a poll came out
3:37this morning, support our actions in Iran.
3:4013 % don't, sorry, 18 % don't have an opinion, just don't know what they
3:47think, which actually probably should be higher because everybody doesn't happen to have an opinion
3:52on everything. And then 33 % opposed.
3:55This would actually make the war in Iran one of the more popular elements of
4:00the Trump activity so far.
4:02Again, you can go check this out.
4:04That is a Politico poll that came out this morning.
4:08And President Trump earlier this morning said, hey, here's the latest.
4:12We're doing really well. He's updating us on the status of the Iranian army.
4:18And spoiler alert, there isn't much left of the Iranian army.
4:22This is what Trump said this morning, cut one.
4:25I want to begin by just saying we're doing extremely well in Iran.
4:29The difference between them and us is they had a Navy two weeks ago.
4:34They have no Navy anymore.
4:35It's all at the bottom of the sea.
4:3758 ships knocked down in two days.
4:39And we have the greatest Navy anywhere in the world.
4:42It's not even close. So, but we are doing really well.
4:44We're not going to let them have nuclear weapons because if they had them, they'd
4:48use them. And we're not going to let that happen.
4:49Should have been done a long time ago by other presidents.
4:53OK, so the big debate now is what should happen going forward.
4:59Israel is continuing to take out all of the leaders of Iran.
5:03Yesterday, we played you audio from Scott Besant, Treasury Secretary, echoed by President Trump, saying
5:09there were starting to be signs of an uprising inside of Iran from the people
5:15there. Remember, when Trump started this attack, he said, now is the time for all
5:21of you in Iran to rise up and throw, overthrow.
5:24He said, now is the time for all of you in Iran.
5:24He said, now is the time for all of you in Iran.
5:24Your government, you may not have another chance like this for decades or generations.
5:29And so we are working through the process of figuring out what exactly is going
5:33to happen there. I do think you have to be careful in what you pay
5:38attention to because the new argument, and look, I think this argument is entirely illegitimate.
5:44I don't buy it. But the new argument is Trump isn't making his own decisions.
5:50He's just doing whatever Israel wants him to do.
5:53I think that is, for anyone who has known Donald Trump, completely unbelievable and without
6:01any logic lining up behind it at all.
6:04In fact, Producer Greg, can you grab, because I do think when these arguments are
6:08out there, it's worth going back in time and playing Trump in the 1980s, explaining
6:14exactly what he is doing today and being in favor of these actions in Iran
6:20long before he was ever engaged in the political process.
6:25But yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, had a press availability and just completely
6:34shot down. Netanyahu did the idea that President Trump was not making his own decisions
6:41and was just doing whatever Israel thought was necessary.
6:45Here's cut 12. I'm going to close these opening remarks with one other fake news,
6:49and that is that Israel somehow dragged the U .S.
6:53into a conflict with Iran.
6:55Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do?
7:01Come on. President Trump always makes his decisions on what he thinks is good for
7:07America and, may I add, I think what is also good for future generations.
7:12In this case, those interests are absolutely clear, and so is the clarity of our
7:17achievements. Together, in close coordination with President Trump, in close coordination between America and Israel,
7:25our militaries, our intelligence services, we're achieving goals in lightning speed.
7:32Now, it is fair to say, how does this end?
7:36That is, Buck was talking about this yesterday.
7:39I think that is the number one question that reasonable people out there can have.
7:43What is the exit here?
7:46What is the process by which this winds itself down?
7:49Does, at some point, the United States' involvement give way to more aggressive Israeli involvement?
7:56Does the United States declare victory, and does Israel continue on its own to bring
8:03strikes against Iran? Those are very valid questions, and I feel like Trump, in many
8:10ways, this is my prediction, is leaning towards the idea of taking Karj Island, which
8:16is about 15 miles off the coast of Iran.
8:19It's where most of the oil and gas produced by Iran transits and begins its
8:25voyage on the Strait of Hormuz.
8:27President Trump believes, I think, that if he controls Karj Island, he controls the entire
8:33oil and gas output of Iran.
8:36Remember, this is kind of wild, but these strikes have been so precise in general
8:42and so tactical in nature that we have allowed Iran to continue to produce and
8:49sell oil even as we have been wiping out all of their leadership.
8:53Think about how wild that is.
8:55I don't believe it's been talked about enough that we are so incredibly precise in
9:01our attacks that we have allowed the Iranian oil and gas industry, by and large,
9:08to continue to work and continue to produce oil and gas.
9:13And if you look at the Strait of Hormuz, the ships that are being allowed
9:17to transit with zero issues at all are all carrying Iranian oil.
9:22Now, we've seen, in many ways, a divergence, a bifurcation in the overall oil and
9:28gas market when it comes to price.
9:30In the United States, the oil and gas that we have is actually much more
9:36affordable, the crude oil that we produce, than it is around the world right now.
9:41I'm looking at crude oil futures right now.
9:44They are roughly $95 or $96.
9:47And that has led to an increase overall at American gas pumps.
9:53But keep in mind, oil and gas prices, I believe, were around $60 a barrel,
9:59$65 a barrel when all of this started.
10:01So they've gone up about $30 a barrel.
10:05Initially, they told us, oh my goodness, oil and gas is going to go $120.
10:09It's going to go to $150.
10:11It's going to go to $200.
10:12Well, not in the United States.
10:14And so, again, the crude oil futures right now, as I am looking and speaking
10:19with all of you, and it changes every single moment, like the stock market does,
10:23right around $96. Iran's only ability right now is to try and get Americans and
10:30try to get Israelis and try to get people around the world to demand a
10:35halt to these strikes because of the price of oil and gas.
10:39And President Trump this morning, rightly, called out NATO and said, wait a minute, we've
10:44already won this war in terms of taking out Iran's military capabilities.
10:49Why in the world will these other countries over the world.
10:52I mean, you've really seen the police bugging on the story.
10:52I want to beTA not show up and help provide transit through the Strait of
10:56Hormuz for all of this oil and gas, which they need more than we do,
11:00right? Our oil and gas, by and large, is never coming from Iran.
11:04It's not coming through the Strait of Hormuz.
11:07There are other places that need it so much more significantly than we do.
11:13And so I think this is a story worth paying attention to, and I think
11:17President Trump may well come to see the coup de grace here as being we
11:23take over Cargill Island and we control all of the oil and gas that is
11:27emanating in any way from Iran once and for all.
11:31And remember, I think he's going to probably use as a template how well things
11:35are going in Venezuela. We are absolutely dominating everything in Venezuela, boots on the ground
11:43for only a few hours to take out Maduro, and since that point in time,
11:48Venezuela is starting to produce a lot more oil and gas.
11:50And remember, Venezuela has one of the largest deposits, if not the largest deposit, they
11:55think of oil and gas in the Western Hemisphere.
11:58So bringing it back online is, in many ways, a huge catalyst to affordable oil
12:04and gas. So I will open up your phone lines, by the way, 800 -282
12:07-2882. It's a Friday edition of the program.
12:10We've got Katie Miller scheduled to join us, wife of Stephen Miller.
12:13She's got a popular podcast.
12:14She's on Fox News a lot.
12:16We've been texting some about the future of AI and how important it is.
12:21All of that we will break down for you, maybe a couple of other guests
12:24as well. It is the Friday edition of Clay and Buck, and I want to
12:27tell you, maybe you stayed up a little bit late last night.
12:30Maybe you were, like me, staying up late watching the NCAA tournament games.
12:34They did not end until well after midnight on the East Coast.
12:38And are you dragging a little bit on Friday?
12:40Are you looking at your obligations, responsibilities, the things that you want to accomplish on
12:45Saturday and Sunday and thinking, boy, I don't know that I have the energy to
12:48keep up with all that.
12:49Do you have a dinner date tonight?
12:50And are you thinking, oh, I wish I didn't have to go to that.
12:53I just want to kick off the shoes and watch games on the couch.
12:57Maybe your testosterone is starting to decline a little bit.
13:00It's natural. Men over the age of 40, it starts to decline pretty precipitously.
13:04If you've got teenage kids like I do and you look at them and you
13:06just say, how do you have so much energy?
13:08They're running around all over the place, bouncing off the walls.
13:10Their testosterone level, way higher.

14:09Welcome back in. Clay, Travis, Buck, Sexton show.
14:12Several different news stories that are out there continuing to update on Iran.
14:18There is a report that Vladimir Putin has offered to stop providing intelligence to Iran
14:23if United States will do the same with Ukraine.
14:27There have been reports out there that Russia has been providing Iran with information about
14:32United States troop locations, which is a, I think, direct response to the fact that
14:38we've been doing that for multiple years for the for the Ukrainians as it pertains
14:44to the Russians. Now, I don't think Iran really has the ability to take advantage
14:48of the intelligence that is provided from Russia, and by and large, Russia and China
14:53have both stayed very quiet as it pertains to everything going on in Iran, but
14:59just FYI, there are a couple of cuts out there that I do think are
15:03significant about good and evil, and one of the big challenges I think that exists
15:08in America today is when you have created in the mind of many people out
15:13there the idea that the United States is evil too, and that's really the entire
15:18basis of the 1619 project and many different aspects of the way the media covers
15:23the United States today. I think that moral clarity matters, and Benjamin Netanyahu provided that
15:30moral clarity. He said good and evil still exists, and I want to share an
15:35example of something that is relatively small in the larger context of the war going
15:40on right now in a moment.
15:42But first, good versus evil, and here is Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday talking about it and
15:48how if good people do nothing, evil will, in fact, triumph.
15:52History proves that, unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genius Khan, because
16:02if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good, aggression will
16:09overcome moderation. So you have no choice.
16:13If you look at the world as it is today, you have to be blind
16:17not to see that the democracy is not a good choice.
16:20Led by the United States have to reassert their will to defend themselves and to
16:26oppose their enemies in time while there's still time before the jarring gong of danger
16:32wakes them up and wakes them up too late.
16:36I think that's incredibly well said.
16:38And here are a couple of other examples of that that I think are significant.
16:44We've talked about the Iranian women's soccer team in Australia refusing to sing along with
16:52the Iranian national anthem and the fact that the families now of those women have
16:58been arrested, have been attacked, and many of the women are abandoning their claims for
17:04asylum in Australia. I believe we're down to two, and they're going back home to
17:09face incredible danger, potentially sexual assault, potentially imprisonment, potentially even death.
17:16And some people out there say, oh, I don't know what you're talking about with
17:18death. They're not going to do that, Clay.
17:20Like, there's this cadre of people out there that wants to defend Iran and say,
17:25oh, you're just falling victim to propaganda.
17:28This is from Martha McCollum saying that she is going to be speaking with a
17:33former Iranian national wrestling champion, this individual who just shared that Iran hung, hanged, some
17:41of you out there have been saying, I've been using the wrong past participle here,
17:44hanged, a man named Salah Mohamedy.
17:48He's 19 years old, this is the front of the New York Post today, for
17:52those of you who maybe buy that newspaper listening to us, WOR, or are active
17:57on social media. They share the front pages of their newspaper.
18:0119 -year -old wrestling champion.
18:04He was hanged today for the crime of protesting in January and demanding basic human
18:13rights for the people of Iran.
18:16They hold hostage. I think we almost played a cut there, but I want you
18:22to think about that for a moment here.
18:2519 -year -old young guy is so in support of human rights that he decides
18:32to go protest in his country for basic human rights.
18:37And he has been arrested, and to make a symbol of him, to try to
18:43send a message, to try to terrify the people of Iran from standing up against
18:46their government, they hanged him yesterday.
18:49In public, 19 years old, Iranian wrestling champion.
18:55The women on the Iranian soccer team being forced to return to the country because
19:01of what's being done to their families, some of them may face a similar fate.
19:06And I believe we have an audio cut of a former women's Iranian soccer player
19:12being interviewed by Martha McCollum.
19:14I believe this was yesterday, guys.
19:15Can we play that cut now?
19:17I think it started to play just a second ago.
19:19They hold hostage their families, the regime.
19:22This is the DNA of the regime.
19:26So this is their tactic to threaten your family.
19:30And in that moment, because I was in that situation, and it's really hard.
19:37This is about your future or about your family.
19:41This is a big guilt on your shoulder.
19:44At the same time, you are thinking about your future.
19:47You are so happy because you don't have to wear that hijab.
19:51You feel freedom. But at the same time, you have to think about your family
19:56because they're going to lose everything.
19:58They're going to torture. They're going to face even imprisonment or rape.
20:04So this is good and this is evil.
20:06And again, I said one of the big challenges that we face is how do
20:11you try to create an Iran that is better for the vast majority of the
20:1590 million people that live there?
20:17And is there going to be any sort of uprising that could return a form
20:23of moderate leadership to Iran?
20:25That's the challenge because so far in order to try to implement something like that,
20:32it requires a lot of troops on the ground.
20:34And frankly, a lot of you who served in Iraq and a lot of you
20:38who served in Afghanistan know that even with troops on the ground trying to create
20:43a government like that largely failed.
20:45It cost us trillions of dollars and a massive amount of lives and injuries and
20:51all of the different insane consequences that came from that.
20:55One question that I have, and I don't know the answer to this, but as
21:01someone who has studied military history, I do wonder whether the modern era of drones
21:07has changed the calculus in terms of an ability to foment a revolution without requiring
21:14troops on the ground. What do I mean by that?
21:18Right now, right now we have tactical air superiority all over Iran.
21:22I shared the story from the Wall Street Journal earlier this week of a top
21:25Iranian official who thought he was safe sleeping in a tent in a park in
21:29Tehran. They tracked him down and they killed him there.
21:32I think there is such a wealth of intelligence data out there right now that
21:38if you are in a position of prominence right now in Iran, you can be
21:42killed remotely with a drone or a missile strike.
21:46I don't know that we've ever had the tech.
21:47technology to consistently be killing the next man up, so to speak, who is rising
21:53to the level of leadership in Iran.
21:57And I do wonder, as we now probably certainly have killed hundreds of top leadership
22:03in Iran, how far down the flow chart do you go until you start to
22:09find some people looking around saying, hey, I don't want to be the next target.
22:13I don't want to ascend to this next leadership rung because I'm going to die
22:18the minute that I do.
22:19And at what point does cold political calculus and rationality start to govern the decisions
22:26that the leaders of Iran are making?
22:28Are we getting closer to that?
22:30Are there people that we know that have been working with Mossad Israeli intelligence, might
22:36have been working with United States intelligence as well, who are far enough down in
22:40the flow charts that we know that at some point if they get elevated to
22:44power, we have reached someone that we can work with because they understand and have
22:51been in some way concerted allies with the US or Israel in the past.
22:55There was a joke going around in Israel that the biggest issue that's going on
23:00right now in Iran is that the only leaders left are all working for Mossad,
23:06the Israeli intelligence agency, but they don't know about each other, which is kind of
23:12a dark humor idea, right?
23:14That you've got three or four top leaders in Iran, but they're all cloistered off
23:18from each other and they don't know that they've all been sharing intel with Israel.
23:23And so we're trying to figure out how to reconcile that.
23:27That's dark humor, but I do think it gets at the larger question, which is
23:31a significant one of at what point do we feel like we've got a leader
23:36that we can deal with?
23:37Here's the other thing. Whoever emerges as a leader in Iran knows that at any
23:43moment they could be killed because Israel is going to know everything about them and
23:47everything about their movements. So at some point, and this is me being a little
23:52bit more optimistic maybe than than Buck is, I think we're going to find someone
23:56like Adelcy Rodriguez, who is working well as the leader of Venezuela right now, that
24:02will be a form of partner.
24:04Here's the other thing. And this is why I'm somewhat optimistic and a lot of
24:07people are not talking about this.
24:09Look at the comments that are coming out of Qatar.
24:11Look at the comments coming out of Saudi Arabia.
24:14Look at the comments coming out from other Middle Eastern countries.
24:18None of them are rising up yet in favor of Iran in any respect.
24:23In fact, everything they're doing is condemning the overall Iranian government.
24:28I said before, yes, Russia may be providing some intel, but to who and how
24:33valuable is it? We don't know about locations of American troops.
24:37China has done nothing. And President Trump is raising as a pretty significant issue.
24:43Hey, everybody should be trying to help us right now.
24:47This is a post that Donald Trump made just in the last few hours without
24:50the USA. NATO is a paper tiger.
24:53They didn't want to join the fight to stop a nuclear power to Iran.
24:56Now that the fight is militarily won with very little danger for them, they complain
25:01about the high oil prices they're forced to pay, but don't want to help open
25:05the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the
25:09high oil prices. So easy for them to do with so little risk.
25:14Cowards. And we will remember President Donald J.
25:18Trump. We will remember indeed.
25:20And a lot of you will remember that I went over to Israel back in
25:23December of 2024. And I toured the country during a relatively momentary ceasefire.
25:30And I was able to see the work that the International Fellowship of Christians and
25:34Jews does. This is a group that is not that is not political in nature.
25:39They are building bomb shelters.
25:41They are providing security to vehicles for people who are first responders.
25:46They are creating hospitals that are underground so that people can be taken care of
25:51in a time of danger.
25:53And they are helping to feed and clothe people who are poor and struggling in
25:59Israel in a time of war.
26:01We talked about good versus evil and the significance of recognizing good versus evil.
26:07The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is fundamentally on the side of good, and
26:12they are fighting against those who would foment evil.
26:14If you want to join me and you want to join Buck in donating, you

26:51Welcome in. Hour number two, Friday edition.
26:54Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.
26:56Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
26:58We are joined now by Katie Miller, a Florida Gator, if I remember correctly.
27:04Florida Gators are the defending national champions and will begin, I believe, their defense of
27:10that national championship a little bit later today.
27:12She's also the wife of Stephen Miller, mother of I think three kids might be
27:17four kids now I can't keep track uh and she has a very successful podcast
27:21the Katie Miller Show podcast Katie thanks for joining us on this Friday how uh
27:26how are things going for you heading into the weekend quite the introduction go Gators
27:31go Gator basketball um always a Gator it's been it's exciting week I'm excited to
27:38be in the weekend because then I get to parent three kids five four and
27:43two yes seven months pregnant with same time that is a that is quite the
27:49handful uh I want to start with I'm going to dive into a bunch of
27:51stories with you but uh earlier this morning as I was getting ready and I
27:56know this to be the case all over the place uh we have got huge
27:59uh lines everywhere with TSA agents calling out sick not being paid for multiple weeks
28:06um New York City Atlanta and Houston three big cities I'm sure there are many
28:11more I know a lot of listeners out there are traveling how ridiculous is this
28:16that we have reached a situation where Democrats are refusing to fund the DHS not
28:22ICE which I believe is already funded and fully working but the TSA agents are
28:27bearing the brunt of this along with a few other hard -working Americans it's really
28:34a shame to see the Trump derangement syndrome syndrome strike Democrats so stridently that they
28:41will fuse to do their basic responsibility which is fund the government as you said
28:45TSA agents are not being paid neither are customs officers those men and women who
28:50screen you when you come back from a foreign country or who check vehicles at
28:54ports of entry the land borders whether that's coming from Mexico or Canada who's screening
28:57for fentanyl who's screening for cocaine that also is our secret service agents who's protecting
29:03the president who's protecting my family those guns and badges that they're you know using
29:07every single day guess what they're not being funded either and that's thanks to Democrats
29:11reneging on their foremost responsibility which is what the American people elected them to do
29:15which is fund the government so quite frankly it's absurd that they're getting a paycheck
29:19and those on the front line aren't and I don't really fault the TSA agents
29:23at this point who have been through so much rigmarole and so much uncertainty in
29:27their own lives at the hands of Democrats President Trump ran on a platform number
29:31one which was stopping and shutting down our border to stop the illegal immigration of
29:3620 million illegals that Joe Biden let into our country and number two was mass
29:39deportations Trump's shocked frankly shocked to see the American people in the Democrat Party so
29:45upset when President Trump was very clear to 77 million Americans who voted for him
29:50that this was his intended policy um let's dive into some something that I've been
29:56just preaching on that I know you have experienced um there's a lot of AI
30:01discussion out there and I like to play around and just ask different AI uh
30:07uh different questions of different AI competitors out there um and really what you find
30:14out is it's very similar to search back in the day where the input and
30:19the algorithm can dictate what the response is and it's intentional uh you've been talking
30:25and sharing a lot of different stories about this what should people out there particularly
30:29parents who may have young kids who are using AI maybe to help with homework
30:33or look up and check fact -based uh questions what should they know and what
30:38should all of us know about what you are finding when you compare these different
30:43AI source uh codes I would say there's four main AI on the market today
30:50that you as a user in our use cases Clay where you're just searching a
30:54generic question you're not using it for coding you're not using it for engineering you're
30:59not using it to launch a rocket into space you know we're asking it very
31:04mundane questions like where should I get my nails done today there are four different
31:08AIs out there there's Gemini which is run by Google BOD which is run by
31:12Anthropic you have ChatGPT which is run by OpenAI and you have Grok which is
31:17run by XAI and you have to remember that these four companies are all based
31:21in San Francisco California arguably the most liberal place in the entire country it is
31:27the highest concentration in fact of gay Americans in our entire country and so who
31:32do you think they're getting to work and program these models it's not someone who
31:36thinks like you and I it's someone who is a very different school of thought
31:40and that would be some of the most woke and leftist ideology those are the
31:44people who want to trans your kids those are the people who want to push
31:47CRT in our schools those are the people who want to hide that they're changing
31:52your child's pronouns in a classroom and so what you're saying is when you input
31:57something and you're getting out an answer it's not it's not just fully truth -seeking
32:02what it is is it's tinged with the ideology of those who are programming it
32:07and so as a parent I take that very seriously so regularly as you just
32:12said you check all the AI platforms I pay for the subscription to all four
32:16of those AIs it's not cheap by the way Anthropic's like 150 bucks a month
32:20for their premium model 150 bucks a month I think Grok is 50 bucks a
32:25month and so if you're looking at something like that you're saying what is the
32:30output in which I'm getting and when you test it with basic answers like is
32:33the United States on stolen land you know is it okay to have white pride
32:38truly only Grok is going to give you those truth -seeking answers that are you
32:43biased in nature. Because when you're programming an AI based off of the internet, which
32:48is where they're scraping this information from, they're taking it from Reddit, they're taking it
32:52from Facebook, they're taking it from Wikipedia, all of the sources that conservatives have complained
32:58about for so long, that's what's being used to train the model.
33:02So unless you're course correcting in the training for that pre -programmed woke ideology, that's
33:07just what you're going to get out, which is very dangerous.
33:09Because if we're saying we're going to fire these liberal teachers and we're going to
33:12get rid of wokeism from the government, but you're just taking the people out and
33:17replacing with the idea with the AI that they trained, you're not doing much better.
33:22Which is why I use Grok, which seems to be maximally, I think is the
33:27phrase from Elon Musk, truth seeking, and to have the less bias relative to far
33:33left wing bias that you just referenced.
33:35Is that fair to say based on what you see?
33:38And if it were not for Grok, we basically would just have a bunch of
33:42left wing chatbot competitors, right?
33:46Absolutely. And I find that when I'm searching all day long in all four of
33:51these AIs, what I'm often finding is that Grok truly gives you the unbiased answer
33:58that a user is looking for.
34:01And what I would say to that is it's very scary because you don't know
34:05all the use cases of AI yet.
34:07So when you're talking about robots, you're talking about drone strikes, you're talking about using
34:13it for airline searches and for your doctors, your mental health professionals.
34:18What kind of answers do you want output as people in your lives are relying
34:23upon this type of information?
34:25If you look at it, why are some Americans so scared of nuclear energy?
34:29Well, we saw the worst tool and the worst use case of nuclear when you
34:34saw the bomb go off in Hiroshima.
34:35So we knew the worst case that could happen with a nuclear weapon.
34:38But no one knows the worst use case you can have with AI because you're
34:42being introduced to it through these friendly chatbots.
34:45And what I would say is it's incredibly important in what you're using.
34:49You vote with your dollars the same way conservatives voted with their dollars as it
34:53relates to Target, Netflix, and these other companies that you understand that OpenAI and Anthropic
34:59are just as woke as all these San Francisco, California companies.
35:04And you need to vote with your dollars and choose Grok.
35:08I use Grok. I also know that you are a fan of Tesla self -drive.
35:15I'm obsessed with this. I bought it for my kids.
35:18I went and I test drove and I couldn't believe it.
35:21I feel like I'm in the future every time I use it.
35:25I know that you are similarly an evangelist for this.
35:29You just mentioned you've got three young kids and you're seven months pregnant.
35:34For people out there, some people love to drive.
35:36And if you want to pretend you're a race car driver, that's all about it.
35:39You can continue to drive yourself.
35:41A lot of people have many other things going on.
35:44And I'm sure you're constantly, if your driving experience was anything like mine, we had
35:49young kids having to give kids juice boxes, having to make sure that they've got
35:53snacks, having to make sure that they're able to be somewhat entertained during the course
35:58of the drive. How different has your life been with Tesla self -drive?
36:03And what would you say the moms out there, the grandmas out there that may
36:06have kids in the car with them when they're going around doing errands?
36:11Well, first I'll preface and say, as a woman, categorically women are the world's worst
36:17drivers. I'm not sure what it is, but as a uniform, we definitely are.
36:23And so the greatest change I've made to my life is getting in full self
36:27-drive. I find myself getting in almost accidents less, I would say, and I'm sure
36:33you can relate to this, the most annoying part about driving in full self -drive
36:36is that it actually yells at you pretty aggressively if you're texting and driving.
36:40Yes, which I was texting you from Tesla self -drive about how amazing Tesla self
36:47-drive was. And if you look down to text for too long, it's like, hey,
36:51eyes up, kid. But yes, so continue because everybody comes after me now and they're
36:56like, oh, look at Clay.
36:57He's got the electric car.
36:59Oh, he's turned into a huge wuss.
37:01I love this thing. And I've got teenage boys and you mentioned female drivers.
37:05Teenage boys, I would argue, are the biggest morons when it comes to driving because
37:09they all think they're Mario Andretti.
37:11And in reality, they're awful at it.
37:13And unfortunately, the data reflects that young teenage drivers, boys in particular, make awful decisions
37:20because they haven't experienced driving enough.
37:22So for people out there with teenagers, this was one of my motivations.
37:26The data shows that a Tesla in full self -drive is seven to nine times
37:30safer than a car in which you're driving yourself, over 93 % of accidents are
37:35caused by user error, not by the car.
37:38And so when you're driving in full self -drive, you're more likely to get from
37:42point A to point B in a much safer manner, which is why it's so
37:45important, especially as you mentioned, when I have young kids in the car, being pregnant
37:49matters because everyone knows when you get into an accident and you're pregnant, it's very
37:53scary. But secondly, is I'm such an evangelist now of this that my mom, who
37:58has always driven a luxury vehicle, I was like, you have to get a Tesla,
38:02you have to try this full self -drive, just trust me on this.
38:05We fought back and forth.
38:06She has her car and I go, how's it going?
38:08She goes, I never drive it.
38:09And I go, what do you mean you never drive?
38:10drive it. She goes, no, no, it drives itself everywhere.
38:13She goes, it's the best car I've ever driven.
38:16And what I would say is that the pickup on this thing, and I think
38:19you can relate to this, when you put your foot on the pedal, it picks
38:23up and drives faster than any other car I've ever driven.
38:26I'm sure it's an electric vehicle thing and maybe it's a Tesla thing, but I
38:29genuinely feel safer when I'm in this car.
38:32And I think it's literally driving a computer and being in a computer in ways
38:37that no other car can compete on the marketplace.
38:39You don't know how great it is, until you do it, which is why I
38:42think both you and I are so excited to tell everyone else that they have
38:45to try this thing. Yeah, I don't get paid anything for this.
38:48It's just when I have a product and it's awesome, I just want to tell
38:51everybody about how awesome it is.
38:54Okay, let me close out with this.
38:55Florida Gators are playing a little bit later, and I know you're going to be
38:59probably excited about that because Florida is really great at basketball.
39:02I wish you guys were still good at football.
39:04I think you went four and eight, and I'm not even sure you're a football
39:07school anymore. But I wanted to ask you this to close out.
39:11Last time you were on with us, you were talking about some of the danger
39:13that your family has had to face.
39:15You just mentioned you've got three young kids.
39:17You're seven months pregnant. Are things better, worse?
39:20How are things for your family when it comes to safety and everything else?
39:25I know you had to move over that issue.
39:27I do think it's important for people to keep in mind what families are sacrificing
39:31in order to try to be doing what your family is doing.
39:35Thank you. Thank you for that, and I really appreciate it.
39:38I appreciate everyone who reaches out, who prays for my family's safety.
39:41We have moved. We live on a military installation.
39:44We are so incredibly grateful to our men and women in the armed services.
39:48They've welcomed us with open arms.
39:50There is nothing like the ability to watch your children run outside and play freely
39:54in a field. There's nothing like the ability to be able to load and unload
39:57your kids just in your driveway without having to look over your shoulder.
40:01I would say that our house is amazing and that it's a historic military home,
40:06as all homes are in the Washington, D .C.
40:08area. And I'm so grateful to President Trump and to our administration for stepping up
40:13to take care of our family.
40:14I don't think the threats have dissipated, nor has the energy of the left dissipated
40:19in order to try to rile up those who want to cause harm to my
40:25family. You see it from Gavin Newsom's office regularly on X, which is just so
40:30shameful. But we are safe.
40:32We're in a good place, and we are happiest that we've ever been because I
40:35know we wake up each and every day serving our country, and my husband gets
40:38to go to the West Wing every day to fulfill the promises that President Trump
40:42made to the American people.
40:43And there's no one happier to walk through those doors again on January 20th of
40:47last year than Stephen Miller, because when we left on January 21 of 2021, he
40:53looked at everybody and said, I'll be back.
40:56He told the fine men and women at Walter Reed, he said, I'll be back.
40:59And so how joyful it is to get to live your dream once again and
41:03be able to fulfill unfinished promises from the first administration.
41:08Not many people get that second chance, and President Trump fought against those witch hunts
41:12for this exact moment in time.
41:14How can people find your podcast if they haven't checked it out already?

41:38so, and we'll have great episodes each and every week.
41:41Awesome. Katie Miller, keep those kids safe.

43:10Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
43:13We're going to get to some of your calls here in a moment, but I
43:15did want to mention Chuck Norris, legendary figure across many different disciplines.
43:22A lot of you, I would imagine, will know him well.
43:2686 years old, passed away earlier today, and we've got a couple of cuts for
43:31you in honor of Chuck Norris.
43:33One of them is Chuck Norris explaining why he became a reporter.
43:38after beginning his life as a democrat listen are you conservative well i used to
43:45be a democrat but unfortunately the democrats went too far to the left and the
43:52republicans moved into their position that the democrats were 40 years ago and so what
43:59the democrats believe 40 years ago the republicans believe today and so i realized that
44:06i had to go to a republican because the democrats just got too far off
44:11the off the trail they just got completely off the trail and lost all reality
44:15of what america stood for and so i realized that republicans at this point in
44:21time are more focused on what is best for america than uh what the democrats
44:27are uh there you have it probably a lot of you nodding along there who
44:32may have had similar political evolutions in your life here is humor all right so
44:37i think the chuck norris memes uh that you're about to hear was one of
44:43the first things that i remember really going mega viral on the internet uh and
44:48and essentially it was chuck norris is such a badass like uh chuck norris doesn't
44:53do push -ups uh he pushes the earth down beneath him and that's not 100
44:58uh reflective of what it was but for those of you who are like me
45:02uh and have been active on the internet for a long time it was impossible
45:06to miss the chuck norris meme era of the internet and here are some of
45:12those jokes that were told about chuck norris and just how much of a badass
45:17he was listen don't look now chuck norris is right behind you i heard so
45:21the heroes read chuck norris comics i heard at night the boogeyman checks into the
45:25bed for chuck i heard chuck norris's reflection won't even look him in the eye
45:28i heard when cops need cops they call chuck norris i heard when chuck gets
45:32in the water sharks get out of the ocean i heard when chuck norris is
45:35hiking grizzlies look out for him i heard chuck norris rise in water without the
45:38cycle i heard chuck norris would have to protect the sun i heard medicine takes
45:42chuck norris to feel better i heard what actually killed the dinosaurs was chuck norris
45:45i heard cats say they have chuck like reflexes i think he still got it
45:49i'll bet you a buck he catches the soul shaker you're on hey chuck you
45:57owe me a buck uh so uh that was kind of the humorous chuck norris
46:03i know those were very fast spoken but if you're if you want to laugh
46:07a little bit great chuck norris jokes uh 86 years old uh rest in peace
46:12to chuck norris prayers to the family uh and friends of chuck norris an american
46:17original uh okay uh a lot of you want to weigh in we got a
46:21bunch of callers here i'll start with robin in alabama robin what you got for
46:25us hey i just want to ask a question about the tesla you guys are
46:32hyping it up and that's great i actually kind of want one um my question
46:37is i do a lot of driving like 40 000 miles per year and i
46:43have a problem with deer because i'm in rural alabama and i have been hit
46:49by a deer and i've actually hit two deer how is it at like defensive
46:54driving in situations like that for stuff just suddenly pops in the road i think
47:00it's better i honestly i think it's better than the average driver and i'll give
47:05you an example not deer but deer one of the most dangerous things that happens
47:09to anybody out there is actually hitting deer if you look at the insurance rates
47:13i mean if we could eliminate human collisions with deer it would be far better
47:17it's one of the challenges is as robin's just saying they kind of come out
47:20of nowhere and there's very limited uh opportunity to react to it so the way
47:27that the tesla self -drive works is every time there is an impact and i'm
47:33making it simple because i'm not a tech genius every time there is an accident
47:38or an impact they study their cameras that surround your car that are being that
47:44are used to help give the self -driving car instructions every time there is some
47:51sort of collision they go back and readdress the issue and make the car better
47:58at trying to deal with that difficulty so tens of millions hundreds of millions probably
48:04of miles driven every time a new incident occurs they put it into the ai
48:10and make it better at dealing with it now it's not going to be perfect
48:14because in some situations like that a deer can come out of nowhere but i'll
48:19tell you one that stunned me so i was driving uh and by driving i
48:24mean the tesla was driving with my 15 year old taking him to go meet
48:28a bunch of friends for a dinner and we had just had a bad storm
48:33come through in nashville this is a couple of weeks ago and it knocked out
48:38a lot of the uh a lot of the cameras and uh sorry it knocked
48:44out a lot of the traffic lights and so we came up on one of
48:47those spots where there is a four -way traffic light and the traffic light was
48:52completely out and it had only been out for a short period of time it
48:58certainly had happened in the last 30 or 45 minutes the car handled it perfectly
49:03actually better than your average driver you you you you you you I don't know.
49:06did because if you remember and again I think I've got this right in a
49:10four -way stop style situation where the traffic light is not working you're supposed to
49:18alternate and take turns going through but if you've ever been in those situations you
49:23know that some people don't wait they follow the car in front of them they
49:28try to jump the line so to speak everybody's backed up the thing that I
49:32would say about the Tesla was it followed the law better in terms of taking
49:37its turn than most of the drivers did and it was able to adjust in
49:43real time when drivers broke the law because somebody else is cutting in front of
49:48me when it's my turn the Tesla saw them coming and adjusted even though it
49:53was in the right to avoid a conflict to avoid a collision so look I'm
49:59blown away with how spectacular this is I really do think it's the future we
50:03come back super positive news get ready
