Welcome in Friday edition, Clay Travis Buck Sexton's show. I am solo with all of you today. Buck is out Friday and Monday, and we will take you into the weekend with the absolute latest going on everywhere in the world. Most particularly in Iran, where the news continues to be very positive, despite the way that much of the media is covering it. We will give you the absolute latest on everything there. TSA issues, unfortunately, are spreading like wildfire. I saw this morning as I was getting ready for the show, and there are probably many other places as well. New York City, Houston, Atlanta.

multi-hour long lines to be able to get through airport security. John Fetterman is less popular with Pennsylvania Democrats so much so that I would argue and may make this case. He should actually flip parties and start to caucus with the Republicans or he should potentially run as a independent and caucus with the Republicans and maybe not be an official member of the overall. Republican Party. I think both of those would probably be better suited because most of his popularity now in Pennsylvania is with Republicans, not Democrats. We will talk about that. We'll have some fun with the NCAA tournament underway. We've got some fun audio clips for you. I hope that your brackets are at least somewhat unbusted, relatively speaking. But we begin with the situation in Iran and with President Trump ruminating, determining, analyzing, contemplating, potentially going into Karg Island, and that being the ultimate, shall we say it, Trump card of what might. be necessary in order to finally get the Iranian government, such as it is, to actually stand down. And there continue to be lots of talks about whether Trump has been influenced by Israel. And the overall price of oil and gas probably is the number one thing that is working in any way in Iran's favor. It might be the only thing. But I do think the media overall has done a poor job of explaining just exactly what is going on and how well we are all doing. Notwithstanding that, a poll came out this morning from Politico that I thought was interesting and should be shared with all of you. And that is showing that President Trump in Iran is actually... Pretty popular overall as these things go. Nothing is very popular in politics, no matter what side you're on, except, honestly, the Save America Act, which of course can't actually get passed so far. But Politico asked, do you or do you not support the strikes in Iran? overwhelming majorities of Trump voters do, in fact, support them. Some of you who are hyper online get convinced that a small minority of active voices online represent larger audiences than they do. Politico found 81% support. More people don't know whether they support this or not than actually oppose it among the president's voters. Even overall, and this is a poll I shared, you can go check it out. on my Twitter feed at Clay Travis. Overall, 43% of Americans support, this is according to Politico, poll came out this morning, support our actions in Iran.

5:59

13% don't, sorry, 18% don't have an opinion, just don't know what they think, which actually probably should be higher because everybody doesn't happen to have an opinion on everything. And then 33% opposed. This would actually make the war in Iran one of the more popular elements of the Trump activity so far. Again, you can go check this out. That is a... Politico poll that came out this morning. And President Trump earlier this morning said, hey, here's the latest. We're doing really well. He's updating us on the status of the Iranian army. And spoiler alert, there isn't much left of the Iranian army. This is what Trump said this morning, cut one. I want to begin by just saying we're doing extremely well in Iran. The difference between them and us is they had a Navy. Two weeks ago, they have no Navy anymore. It's all at the bottom of the sea. 58 ships knocked down in two days. And we have the greatest Navy anywhere in the world. It's not even close. But we are doing really well. We're not going to let them have nuclear weapons. Because if they had them, they'd use them, and we're not going to let that happen. It should have been done a long time ago by other presidents. Okay, so the big debate now is what should happen going forward. Israel is continuing to take out all of the leaders of Iran. Yesterday, we played you audio from Scott Bessent Treasury Secretary, echoed by President Trump saying. there were starting to be signs of an uprising inside of Iran from the people there. Remember when Trump started this attack, he said, now is the time for all of you in Iran to rise up and overthrow your government. You may not have another chance like this for decades or generations. And so we are working through the process of figuring out what exactly is going to happen there. I do think you have to be careful. in what you pay attention to because the new argument, and look, I think this argument is entirely illegitimate. I don't buy it. But the new argument is Trump isn't making his own decisions. He's just doing whatever Israel wants him to do. I think that is for anyone who has known Donald Trump completely. unbelievable and without any logic lining up behind it at all. In fact, producer Greg, can you grab? Because I do think when these arguments are out there, it's worth going back in time and playing Trump in the 1980s, explaining exactly what he is doing today and being in favor of these actions in Iran long before he was ever engaged in the political process. But yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader, of Israel had a press availability and just completely shot down Benjamin Netanyahu did the idea that President Trump was not making his own decisions and was just doing whatever Israel thought was necessary. Here's cut 12. I want to close these opening remarks with one other fake news. And that is that Israel somehow dragged the U.S. into a conflict with Iran. Does anyone really think?

9:17

that someone can tell President Trump what to do? Come on. President Trump always makes his decisions on what he thinks is good for America. And may I add, I think what is also good for future generations. In this case, those interests are absolutely clear, and so is the clarity of our achievements. Together in close coordination with President Trump, the close coordination between America and Israel, Our militaries, our intelligence services, we're achieving goals in lightning speed. Now, it is fair to say, how does this end? That is, Buck was talking about this yesterday. I think that is the number one question that reasonable people out there can have. What is the exit here? What is the process by which this winds itself down? Does, at some point, the United States involvement, give way to more aggressive Israeli involvement? Does the United States declare victory and does Israel continue on its own to bring strikes against Iran? Those are very valid questions. And I feel like Trump in many ways, this is my prediction, is leaning towards the idea. of taking Karj Island, which is about 15 miles off the coast of Iran. It's where most of the oil and gas produced by Iran transits and begins its voyage on the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump believes, I think, that if he controls Karg Island, he controls the entire oil and gas output of Iran. Remember, this is kind of wild, but these strikes have been so precise in general. and so tactical in nature that we have allowed Iran to continue to produce and sell oil even as we have been wiping out all of their leadership. Think about how wild that is. I don't believe it's been talked about enough that we are so incredibly precise in our attacks that we have allowed the Iranian oil and gas industry by and large. to continue to work and continue to produce oil and gas. And if you look at the Strait of Hormuz, the ships that are being allowed to transit with zero issues at all are all carrying Iranian oil. Now, we've seen in many ways a divergence, a bifurcation in the overall oil and gas market when it comes to price. In the United States, the oil and gas that we have is actually much more affordable. the crude oil that we produce than it is around the world right now. I'm looking at crude oil futures right now. They are roughly $95 or $96. And that has led to an increase overall at American gas pumps. But keep in mind, oil and gas prices, I believe we're around $60 a barrel, $65 a barrel when all of this started. So they've gone up about $30 a barrel.

12:24

Initially, they told us, oh, my goodness, oil and gas is going to go $120. It's going to go to $150. It's going to go to $200. Well, not in the United States. And so, again, the crude oil futures right now, as I am looking and speaking with all of you, and it changes every single moment like the stock market does, right around $96. Iran's only ability. right now is to try and get Americans and try to get Israelis and try to get people around the world to demand a halt to these strikes because of the price of oil and gas. And President Trump this morning, rightly, called out NATO and said, wait a minute, we've already won this war in terms of taking out Iran's military capabilities. Why in the world will these other countries not show up and help provide transit through the Strait of Hormuz for all of this oil and gas, which they need more than we do? Right. Our oil and gas by and large is never coming from Iran. It's not coming through the Strait of Hormuz. There are other places that need it so much more significantly than we do. And so I think this is a story worth paying attention to. And I think President Trump may well come to see they coup de grace here as being, we take over Carge Island and we control all of the oil and gas that is emanating in any way from Iran once and for all. And remember, I think he's going to probably use as a template. How well things are going in Venezuela. We are absolutely dominating everything in Venezuela, boots on the ground for only a few hours to take out Maduro, and since that point in time, Venezuela is starting to produce a lot more oil and gas. And remember, Venezuela has one of the largest deposits, if not the largest deposit, they think of oil and gas in the Western Hemisphere. So bringing it back online is in many ways. a huge catalyst to affordable oil and gas. So I will open up your phone lines, by the way, 800282-282. 282. It's a Friday edition of the program.

Maybe you were like me staying up late watching the NCAA tournament games. They did not end until well after midnight on the East Coast. And are you dragging a little bit on Friday? Are you looking at your obligations, responsibilities, the things that you want to accomplish on Saturday and Sunday and thinking, boy, I don't know that I have the energy to keep up with all that. Do you have a dinner date tonight? And are you thinking, oh, I wish I didn't have to go to that. I just want to kick off the shoes and watch games on the couch. Maybe your testosterone is starting to decline a little bit. It's natural. Men over the age of 40. It starts to decline pretty precipitously. If you've got teenage kids like I do and you look at them, you just say, how do you have so much energy? They're running around all over the place, bouncing off the walls. Their testosterone level way higher. You can get hooked up right now with a natural increase to your testosterone.

Several different news stories that are out there continuing to update on Iran. There is a report that Vladimir Putin has offered to stop providing intelligence to Iran if United States will do the same with Ukraine. There have been reports out there that Russia has been providing Iran with information about United States troop locations, which is a, I think, direct response to the fact that we've been doing that for multiple years for the Ukrainians as it pertains to the Russians. Now, I don't think Iran really has the ability to take advantage of the intelligence that is provided. from Russia and by and large Russia and China have both stayed very quiet as it pertains to everything going on in Iran. But just FYI. There are a couple of cuts out there that I do think are significant about good and evil. And one of the big challenges I think that exists in America today is when you have created. in the mind of many people out there, the idea that the United States is evil too. And that's really the entire basis of the 1619 project and many different aspects of the way the media covers the United States today. I think that moral clarity matters. And Benjamin Netanyahu. provided that moral clarity. He said good and evil still exists. And I want to share an example of something that is relatively small in the larger context of the war going on right now in a moment. But first, good versus evil. And here is Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday talking about it and how if good people do nothing, evil will in fact triumph. History proves that unfortunately and unhappily. Jesus Christ has no advantage over Jinnis Khan because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation. So you have no choice. If you look at the world as it is today, you have to be blind not to see that the democracies, led by the United States, have to reassert their will to defend themselves. and to oppose their enemies in time while there's still time, before the jarring gong of danger wakes them up and wakes them up too late. I think that's incredibly well said. And here are a couple of other...

21:45

examples of that that I think are significant. We've talked about the Iranian women's soccer team in Australia refusing to sing along with the Iranian national anthem and the fact that the families now of those women have been. have been arrested, have been attacked, and many of the women are abandoning their claims for asylum in Australia. I believe we're down to two, and they're going back home to face incredible danger, potentially sexual assault, potentially imprisonment, potentially even death. And some people out there say, oh, I don't know what you're talking about with death. They're not going to do that, Clay. Like, there's this cadre of people out there that wants to defend Iran and say, oh, you're just falling victim to... propaganda. This is from Martha McCollum, saying that she is going to be speaking with a former Iranian national wrestling champion, this individual who just shared that Iran hung, hanged, some of you out there have been saying, I've been using the wrong past participle here, hanged, a man named Salah Muhammadi. He's 19 years old. This is the front of the New York Post today, for those of you who maybe buy that newspaper listening to SWOR or are active on social media. They share the front pages of their newspaper. 19-year-old wrestling champion. He was hanged today for the crime of protesting in January and demanding basic human rights for the people of Iran. They hold hostage. I think we almost played a cut there, but I want you to think about that for a moment here. 19-year-old young guy is so in support of human rights that he decides to go protest in his country for basic human rights. And he has been arrested and to make a symbol of him to try to send a message, to try to terrify the people of Iran from standing up against their government, they hanged him yesterday. In public, 19 years old, Iranian wrestling champion. The women on the Iranian soccer team being forced to return to the country because of what's being done to their families, some of them may face a similar fate. And I believe we have an audio cut of a former women's Iranian soccer player being interviewed by Martha McCollum. I believe this was yesterday, guys. Can we play that cut now? I think it started to play just a second ago. They hold hostage their families, the regime. This is the DNA of the regime. So this is their tactic to threaten your family. And in that moment, because I was in that situation, and it's really hard. This is about your future or about your family. This is a big guilt on your shoulder. At the same time, you are thinking about your future. You are so happy because you don't have to wear that hijab. You feel freedom. But at the same time, you have to think about your family because they're going to lose everything. They're going to...

25:02

torture. They're going to face even prisonment or rape. So this is good and this is evil. And again, I said one of the big challenges that we face is how do you try to create an Iran that is better for the vast majority of the 90 million people that live there? And is there going to be any sort of uprising that could return a form of moderate leadership to Iran? That's the challenge. Because so far... In order to try to implement something like that, it requires a lot of troops on the ground. And frankly, a lot of you who served in Iraq and a lot of you who served in Afghanistan know that even with troops on the ground trying to create a government like that largely failed, it cost us trillions of dollars and a massive amount of lives and injuries and all of the different. insane consequences that came from that. One question that I have, and I don't know the answer to this, but as someone who has studied military history, I do wonder whether the modern era of drones has changed the calculus in terms of an ability to foment a revolution without requiring troops on the ground. What do I mean by that? Right now we have tactical air superiority all over Iran. I shared the story from the Wall Street Journal earlier this week of a top Iranian official who thought he was safe sleeping in a tent in a park in Tehran. They tracked him down and they killed him there. I think there is such a wealth of intelligence data out there right now that if you are in a position of prominence right now in Iran, you can be killed remotely with a drone or a missile strike. I don't know that we've ever had the technology to consistently be killing the next man up, so to speak, who is rising to the level of leadership in Iran. And I do wonder, as we now probably certainly. have killed hundreds of top leadership in Iran. How far down the flow chart do you go until you start to find some people looking around saying, hey, I don't want to be the next target? I don't want to ascend to this next leadership rung because I'm going to die the minute that I do. And at what point does cold political calculus and rationality start to govern the decisions that the leaders of Iran are making? Are we getting closer to that? Are there people that we know?

27:36

that have been working with Mossad, Israeli intelligence, might have been working with United States intelligence as well, who are far enough down in the flowcharts that we know that at some point, if they get elevated to power, we have reached someone that we can work with because they understand and have been in some way concerted allies with the U.S. or Israel in the past. There was a joke going around in Israel that the biggest issue that's going on right now in Iran is that the only leaders left are all working for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, but they don't know about each other. which is kind of a dark humor idea, right, that you've got three or four top leaders in Iran, but they're all cloistered off from each other, and they don't know that they've all been sharing intel with Israel. And so we're trying to figure out how to reconcile that. That's dark humor, but I do think it gets at the larger question, which is a significant one, of at what point do we feel like we've got a leader that we can deal with? Here's the other thing. Whoever emerges as a leader in Iran knows that at any moment they could be killed because Israel is going to know everything about them and everything about their movements. So at some point, and this is me being a little bit more optimistic, maybe than Buck is, I think we're going to find someone like Adelsey Rodriguez, who is working well as the leader of Venezuela right now, that will be a form of partner. Here's the other thing. And this is why I'm somewhat optimistic and a lot of people are not talking about this. Look at the comments that are coming out of Qatar. Look at the comments coming out of Saudi Arabia. Look at the comments coming out from other Middle Eastern countries. None of them are rising up yet in favor of Iran in any respect. In fact, everything they're doing is condemning the overall Iranian government. I said before, yes, Russia may be providing some intel, but to who and how valuable is it we don't know about locations of American troops. China has done nothing. And President Trump is raising as a pretty significant issue. Hey, everybody should be trying to help us right now. This is a post that Donald Trump made just in the last few hours. Without the USA, NATO's a paper tiger. They didn't want to join the fight to stop a nuclear power to Iran. Now that the fight is militarily won with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they're forced to pay. but don't want to help open the strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do with so little risk cowards. And we will remember President Donald J. Trump. We will remember indeed. And a lot of you will remember that I went over to Israel back in December of 2024. And I toured the country during a relatively momentary ceasefire.

30:33

And I was able to see the work that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does. This is a group that is not political in nature. They are building bomb shelters. They are providing security to vehicles for people who are first responders. They are creating hospitals that are underground so that people can be taken care of in a time of danger. And they are helping to feed and clothe. people who are poor and struggling in Israel in a time of war. We talked about good versus evil and the significance of recognizing good versus evil. The international fellowship of Christians and Jews is fundamentally on the side of good and they are fighting against those who would foment evil. If you want to join me and you want to join Buck in donating, you can donate by calling 888. 488, IFC. Again, bomb shelters, hospitals that are underground, things that help Israelis in the holy land. You can also go online at IFCJ.org. We know the organization. We trust the work. The website again, IFCJ.org. Geek out with the guys on the Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck Podcast. A new episode every Sunday. Find it on the iHeart app or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome in. Hour number two, Friday edition, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We are joined now by Katie Miller, a Florida Gator, if I remember correctly. Florida Gators are the defending national champions. We'll begin, I believe, their defense of that national championship a little bit later. Today, she's also the wife of Stephen Miller, mother of, I think, three kids, might be four kids now. I can't keep track. And she has a very successful podcast, the Katie Miller Show podcast. Katie, thanks for joining us on this Friday. How are things going for you heading to the weekend? Quite the introduction. Go gators, go gator basketball. Always a gator. It's been, it's exciting week. I'm excited to be in the weekend because then I get to parent three kids, five, four, and two. Yes. And be seven months pregnant at the same time. That is quite the handful. I want to start with, I'm going to dive into a bunch of stories with you, but earlier this morning as I was getting ready, and I know this to be the case all over the place, we have got huge lines everywhere with TSA agents calling out sick, not being paid for multiple weeks. New York City, Atlanta, and Houston, three big cities. I'm sure there are many more. I know a lot of the listeners out there are traveling. How ridiculous is this that we have reached a situation where Democrats are refusing to fund the DHS? Not ICE, which I believe is already funded and fully working, but the TSA agents are bearing the brunt of this along with a few other hardworking Americans. It's really a shame to see the Trump derangement syndrome strike Democrats.

33:43

so stridently that they will refuse to do their basic responsibility, which is fund the government. As you said, TSA agents are not being paid. Neither are customs officers, those men and women who screen you when you come back from a foreign country or who check vehicles at ports of entry, the land borders, whether that's coming from Mexico or Canada, who's screening for fentanyl, who's screening for cocaine. That also is our Secret Service agents, who's protecting the president, who's protecting my family. Those guns and badges that they're, you know, using every single day. Guess what? They're not being funded either. And that's thanks to Democrats reneging on their foremost responsibility, which is what the American people elected them to do, which is fund the government. So quite frankly, it's absurd that they're getting a paycheck and those on the frontline aren't. And I don't really fault the TSA agents at this point who have been through so much rigmarole and so much uncertainty in their own lives at the hands of Democrats. President Trump ran. on a platform, number one, which was stopping and shutting down our border to stop the illegal immigration and the 20 million illegals that Joe Biden led into our country. And number two was mass deportations. I'm shocked, frankly shocked to see the American people in a Democrat Party so upset when President Trump was very clear to 77 million Americans who voted for him that this was his intended policy. Let's dive into something that I've been just preaching on that I know you have experienced. There's a lot of AI discussion out there. And I like to play around and just ask different AI. different questions of different AI competitors out there. And really what you find out is it's very similar to search back in the day where the input and the algorithm can dictate what the response is and it's intentional. You've been talking and sharing a lot of different stories about this. What should people out there, particularly parents who may have young kids who are using AI maybe to help with homework or look up and check fact-based questions, what should they know and what? should all of us know about what you are finding when you compare these different AI source codes? I would say there's four main AI on the market today that you as a user in our use cases, Clay, where you're just searching a generic question. You're not using it for coding. You're not using it for engineering. You're not using it to launch a rocket into space. You know, we're asking it very mundane questions, like, where should I get my nails done today? There are four different AIs out there. There's Gemini, which is run by Google, FOD, which is run by Anthropic. You have ChatGTP, which is run by OpenAI. And you have to remember that these four companies are all based in San Francisco, California, arguably the most liberal place in the entire country. It is the highest concentration, in fact. of gay Americans in our entire country. And so who do you think they're getting to work and program these models? It's not someone who thinks like you and I. It's someone who is a very different school of thought. And that would be some of the most woke and leftist ideology. Those are the people who want to trans your kids. Those are the people who want to push CRT in our schools. Those are the people who want to hide that they're changing your child's pronouns in a classroom.

And so what you're saying is when you input something and you're getting out an answer, it's not just fully truth-seeking. What it is is it's tinged with the ideology of those who are programming it. And so as a parent, I take that very seriously. So regularly, as you just said, you check all the AI platforms. I pay for the subscription to all four of those AIs. It's not cheap, by the way. Anthropics, like $150 a month for their premium model. $150 a month. I think Grok is 50 bucks a month. And so if you're looking at something like that, you're saying, what is the output in which I'm getting? And when you test it with basic answers, like, is the United States on stolen land? You know, Is it okay to have white pride? Truly, only Grok is going to give you those truth-seeking answers that are unbiased in nature. Because when you're programming an AI based off of the internet, which is where they're scraping this information from, they're taking it from Reddit, they're taking it from Facebook, they're taking it. from Wikipedia, all of the sources that conservatives have complained about for so long. That's what's being used to train the model. So unless you're course correcting in the training for that pre-programmed woke ideology, that's just what you're going to get out, which is very dangerous, because if we're saying we're going to fire these liberal teachers and we're going to get rid of wokeism from the government, but you're just taking the people out and replacing with the AI that they trained, you're not doing much better. Which is why I use GROC, which seems to be maximally, I think is the phrase from Elon Musk, truth seeking, and to have the less bias relative to far left-wing bias that you just referenced. Is that fair to say based on what you see? And if it were not for GROC, we basically would just have a bunch of left-wing chatbot competitors, right? Absolutely. And I find that when I'm searching all day long and all four of these AIs, what I'm often finding is that GROC truly gives you the unbiased... answer that a user is looking for. And what I would say to that is it's very scary because you don't know all the use cases of AI yet. So when you're talking about robots, you're talking about drone strikes, you're talking about using it for airline searches and for your doctors, your mental health professionals. What kind of answers do you want output as people in your lives are relying upon this type of information? If you look at it, why are so Americans so scared of nuclear energy? Well, we saw the worst tool and the worst use case of nuclear when you saw the bomb go off in Hiroshima. So we knew the worst case that could happen with a nuclear weapon. But no one knows the worst use case you can have with AI because you're being introduced to it through these friendly chatbots.

39:48

And what I would say is it's incredibly important in what you're using. You vote with your dollars, the same white concert is voted with their dollars as it relates to Target, Netflix, and these other companies that you understand that Open AI and Anthropic are just as woke as all these San Francisco, California companies. And you need to vote with your dollars and choose GROC. I use Grock. I also know that you are a fan of Tesla self-drive. I'm obsessed with this. I bought it for my kids. I went and I test drove and I couldn't believe it. I feel like I'm in the future every time I use it. I know that you are similarly an evangelist for this. You just mentioned you've got three young kids and you're seven months pregnant. For people out there, some people love to drive. And if you want to pretend you're a race car driver, that's all about it. You can continue to drive yourself. A lot of people have many other things going on. I'm sure you're constantly, if you're driving experience with anything like mine, we had young kids, having to give kids juice boxes, having to make sure that they've got snacks, having to make sure that they're able to be somewhat entertained during the course of the drive. How? different has your life been with Tesla self-drive? And what would you say the mom's out there, the grandma's out there that may have kids in the car with them when they're going around doing errands? Well, first I'll preface and say, as a woman, categorically women are the world's worst drivers. I'm not sure what it is, but that's the uniform. We definitely are. And so the greatest change I've made to my life is getting in full self-drive. I find myself getting in almost accidents less. I would say, and I'm sure you can relate to this, the most annoying part about driving in full self-drive. is that it actually yelled at you pretty aggressively if you're texting and driving. Yes. Which I was texting you from Tesla self-drive about how amazing Tesla self-drive was. And if you look down to text for too long, it's like, hey, eyes up, kid. But yes, so continue. Because everybody comes after me now and they're like, oh, look at Clay. He's got the electric car. Oh, he's turned into a huge wuss. I love this thing. And I've got teenage boys. And you mentioned female drivers. Teenage boys, I would argue, are the biggest morons when it comes to driving because they all think they're Mario Andretti. And in reality, they're awful at it. And unfortunately, the data reflects that young teenage drivers, boys in particular, make awful decisions because they haven't experienced driving enough. So for people out there with teenagers, this was one of my motivations. The data shows that a Tesla in full self-drive is seven to nine times safer than a car in which you're driving yourself. Over 93% of accidents are caused by user error, not by the car. And so when you're driving in full self-drive, you're more likely to get from point A to point B in a much safer manner, which is why it's so important, especially as you mentioned when I have young kids in the car, being pregnant, it matters because everyone knows when you get into an accident and you're pregnant. It's very scary.

42:57

But secondly, is I'm such an evangelist now of this that my mom, who has always driven a luxury vehicle, I was like, you have to get a Tesla, you have to try this full self drive, just trust me on this. We fought back and forth. She has her car, and I go, how's it going? She goes, I never drive it. And I go, what do you mean you never drive it? She goes, no, no, it drives itself everywhere. She goes, it's the best car I've ever driven. And what I would say is that the pickup on this thing, and I think you can relate to this when you put your foot on the pedal, it picks up and drives faster than any other car I've ever driven. I'm sure it's an electric vehicle thing and maybe it's a Tesla thing. But I genuinely feel safer when I'm in this car. And I think it's literally driving a computer and being in a computer in ways that no other car can compete on the marketplace. You don't know how great it is until you do it, which is why I think both you and I are so excited to tell everyone else. that they have to try this thing. Yeah, I don't get paid anything for this. It's just when I have a product and it's awesome. I just want to tell everybody about how awesome it is. Okay, let me close out with this. Florida Gators are playing a little bit later, and I know you're going to be probably excited about that because Florida is really great at basketball. I wish you guys were still good at football. I think you went four and eight, and I'm not even sure you're a football school anymore. But I wanted to ask you this to close out. Last time you were on with us, you were talking about some of the danger that your family has had to face. You just mentioned you got three young kids. You're seven months pregnant. Are things better, worse? How are things for your family when it comes to safety and everything else? I know you had to move over that issue. I do think it's important for people to keep in mind what families are sacrificing in order to try to be doing what your family is doing. Thank you. Thank you for that. And I really appreciate it. I appreciate everyone who reaches out, who prays for my family safety. We have moved. We live on a military installation. We are so incredibly grateful to our men and women in the armed services. They've welcomed us with open arms. There is nothing like the ability to watch your children run outside and play freely in a field. There's nothing like the ability to be able to load and unload your kids just in your driveway without having to look over your shoulder. I would say that our house is amazing and that it's a historic military home, as all homes are in the Washington, D.C. area. And I'm so grateful to President Trump and to our administration for stepping up to take care of our family. I don't think the threats have dissipated, nor has the energy of the left dissipated in order to try to while up those who want to cause harm to my family. You see it from Gavin Newsom's office regularly on X, which is just so shameful. But we are safe. We're in a good place. And we are happiest that we've ever been because I know we wake up each and every day serving our country. And my husband gets to go to the West Wing every day to fulfill the promises that President Trump made to the American people. And there's no one happier to walk through those doors again on January 20th of last year than Stephen Miller. Because when we left on January 21 of 2021. He looked at everybody and said, I'll be back. He told the five men and women at Walter Reed. He said, I'll be back. And so how joyful it is to get to live your dream once again and be able to fulfill unfinished promises from the first administration. Not many people get that second chance. And President Trump fought against those witch hunts for this exact moment in time. How can people find your podcast if they haven't checked it out already?

We're going to get to some of your calls here in a moment, but I did want to mention Chuck Norris. Legendary figure across many different disciplines. A lot of you, I would imagine, will know him well. 86 years old, passed away earlier today. And we've got a couple of cuts for you in honor of Chuck Norris. One of them is Chuck Norris explaining why he became a Republican after beginning his life as a Democrat. Listen. Why are you a conservative, sir? Well, I used to be a Democrat, but unfortunately the Democrats went too far to the left and the Republicans moved into their position that the Democrats were 40 years ago. And so the Democrats believed 40 years ago, the Republicans believed today. And so I realized that I had to go to a Republican because the Democrats just got too far off the trail. It just got completely off the trail and lost all reality of what America stood for. And so I realized that Republicans at this point in time are more focused on what is best for America than what the Democrats are. There you have it. Probably a lot of you nodding along there who may have had similar political evolutions in your life. Here is humor. All right? So I think the Chuck Norris memes that you're about to hear was one of the first things that I remember really going mega viral on the internet. And essentially it was Chuck Norris is such a badass. Like Chuck Norris doesn't do pushups. He pushes the earth down beneath him. And that's not 100% reflective of what it was. But for those of you who are like me and have been active on the internet for a long time, it was impossible. to miss the Chuck Norris meme era of the internet. And here are some of those jokes that were told about Chuck Norris and just how much of a badass he was. Listen.

53:06

Don't look now. Chuck Norris is right behind you. I heard it would be heroes read Chuck Norris comics. I heard at night the boogeyman checks into the bed for Chuck. I heard Chuck Norris is reflection on even looking into the eye. I heard when cops need cops they call Chuck Norris. I heard when Chuck Norris gets in the water, get out of the ocean. I heard when Chuck Norris is hiking grizzlies look out for him. I heard Chuck Norris was a hat to protect the sun. I heard medicine takes Chuck Norris to feel better. I heard what actually kill the dinosaurs with Chuck Norris. I heard cats say they have Chuck like reflexes. I think you still get it? I bet you a buck he catches the salt shaker. You're on. Hey, Chuck! You owe me a buck. So that was kind of the humorous Chuck Norris. I know those were very fast spoken. But if you want to laugh a little bit, great Chuck Norris jokes, 86 years old, rest and peace to Chuck Norris, prayers to the family and friends of Chuck Norris and American original. Okay, a lot of you want to weigh in. We've got a bunch of callers here. I'll start with Robin in Alabama. Robin, what you got for us? Hey, I just want to ask a question about the Tesla. You guys are hyping it up and that's great. I actually kind of want one. My question is, I do a lot of driving like 40,000 miles per year. And I have a problem with deer because I'm in rural Alabama and I have been hit by a deer and I've actually hit two deer. How is it at... like defensive driving in situations like that for stuff just suddenly pops in the road. I think it's better. Honestly, I think it's better than the average driver. And I'll give you an example, not deer, but deer, one of the most dangerous things that happens to anybody out there is actually hitting deer. If you look at the insurance rates, I mean, if we could eliminate human collisions with deer, it would be far better. It's one of the challenges is, as Robin's just saying, they kind of come out of nowhere, and there's very limited opportunity to react to it. So the way that... the Tesla self-drive works is every time there is an impact, and I'm making it simple because I'm not a tech genius, every time there is an accident or an impact, they study. There are cameras that surround your car that are used to help give the self-driving car instructions. Every time there is some sort of collision. They go back and readdress the issue and make the car better at trying to deal with that difficulty. So tens of millions, hundreds of millions probably of miles driven, every time a new incident occurs, they put it into the AI and make it better at dealing with it. Now, it's not going to be perfect because in some situations like that, a deer can come out of nowhere. But I'll tell you one that stunned me.

56:08

So I was driving, and by driving, I mean, the Tesla was driving. with my 15 year old taking him to go meet a bunch of friends for a dinner. And we had just had a bad storm come through in Nashville. This is a couple of weeks ago. And it knocked out a lot of the cameras. And sorry, it knocked out a lot of the traffic lights. And so we came up on one of those spots where there is a four-way traffic light. And the traffic light was completely out. And it had only been out for a short period of time. It certainly had happened in the last 30 or 45 minutes. The car handled it perfectly, actually better than your average driver did. Because if you remember, and again, I think I've got this right, in a four-way stop style situation. where the traffic light is not working, you're supposed to alternate and take turns going through. But if you've ever been in those situations, you know that some people don't wait. They follow the car in front of them. They try to jump the line, so to speak. Everybody's backed up. The thing that I would say about the Tesla was it followed the law better. in terms of taking its turn than most of the drivers did. And it was able to adjust in real time when drivers broke the law. Because somebody else is cutting in front of me when it's my turn, the Tesla saw them coming and adjusted even though it was in the right to avoid a conflict, to avoid a collision. So look, I'm blown away with how spectacular this is. I really do think it's the future. We come back. Super positive news. Get ready. Life moves fast.
