Verdict with Ted Cruz - Bonus： Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 17 2026

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.520 Guaranteed human.

00:00:04.360 Welcome back in.

00:00:05.500 Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.

00:00:07.860 We're going to get into Cuba

00:00:09.100 because I think Cuba is an interesting discussion.

00:00:11.540 Top of the next hour.

00:00:13.160 I know we've got a lot of Cuban listeners.

00:00:16.200 But Cuba, Iran, Venezuela,

00:00:18.480 they're all connected, by the way.

00:00:21.100 Big baseball game happening in Miami tonight

00:00:24.280 between Venezuela and the United States.

00:00:28.440 Buck, I might talk about this in the third hour a bit, but the scene if Trump went to this game and threw out the first pitch from all of the Venezuelan expats and all of the pro-America fans that are going to be at this game, if you're a sports fan at all, I'm telling you, put it on tonight.

00:00:47.280 This World Baseball Classic has been awesome in Buck's backyard in Miami.

00:00:51.800 It's going to be an electric scene.

00:00:53.520 I'm watching it tonight going to a sports bar with a couple of buddies down here and my kids.

00:00:57.780 Okay, let me hit you with this. President Trump just now with the prime minister, is it the prime minister, I think, of Ireland, answering questions from the media. And here are a lot of what he has said. Let's see. Trump, I wanted to play this. This is cut 34.

00:01:18.120 trump said years ago that you have to attack attack karge island that is the primary uh

00:01:26.440 deposit or departure point of iranian oil and he just addressed that uh again he's been saying

00:01:33.740 this for decades so anyone out there saying oh the only reason trump's doing this is israel

00:01:38.180 cut 34 listen i said you have to attack karg karg island you have to attack them years ago

00:01:45.080 where they were acting up. They've been acting up for 37, 47, I guess now 48 years. For 48 years

00:01:52.560 they've been bad players, vicious players, and you can't let them have a nuclear weapon. If they got 0.77

00:01:57.560 a nuclear weapon, I would say they would have used it within 24 hours after having it. And they would

00:02:02.700 have had it if we didn't bomb them out from a great raid with the B-2 bombers eight months ago 0.66

00:02:08.580 or so. You would have had a nuclear war in the Middle East and maybe beyond. I think it would 1.00

00:02:15.060 have hit europe maybe not ireland but it would have hit europe i think you would have been a

00:02:19.740 nice piece of it it all gets you it's big enough that you would have been effective they would

00:02:24.020 have hit europe all right uh and then trump says we're not ready to leave yet but we'll be leaving

00:02:30.620 in the near future uh not putting an exact timetable on iran but letting everybody know

00:02:36.480 this is not a forever war cut 35 we're not ready to leave yet but we uh we'll be leaving in the

00:02:43.720 near future. We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future. But right now, they've been

00:02:49.500 decimated from every standpoint. And again, we've had great support from countries in the Middle

00:02:57.060 East, great support. But we've had no support from essentially no support from NATO. And then

00:03:03.440 he's there with the prime minister of Ireland. He teed off on the current leader of the UK,

00:03:08.640 england's uh starmer and he said look he's no church he'll cut 33

00:03:14.100 well he hasn't been supportive and i think it's a big mistake you know

00:03:20.200 they make a lot of money on trade with the united states i i did i went out of my as you know they

00:03:26.640 couldn't make a deal with with biden because they had no real administration to make a deal

00:03:31.920 biden but we made a deal we made a good deal for them and frankly uh probably wasn't appreciated i

00:03:38.340 I do look forward to seeing the king.

00:03:40.620 He's going to be coming, as you know, very shortly.

00:03:43.800 But, no, I was disappointed because Keir was willing to send two aircraft carriers after we won.

00:03:50.480 Because essentially there's no threat for the aircraft carriers right now.

00:03:54.660 And I said, no, no, we want things sent before the war, not after the war is won.

00:03:59.860 So, yeah, I'm disappointed with Keir.

00:04:01.960 I like him.

00:04:02.460 I think he's a nice man, but I'm disappointed.

00:04:05.340 You see that?

00:04:06.860 OK, so President Trump just moments ago in the Oval Office, Buck, I think it's going to be hard to attack Trump very long on this, because to your point, if you were setting an over under of when major operations cease in Iran, I think you said yesterday, April 1st, thereabouts, I would be stunned.

00:04:25.960 what are we sitting at right now the 17th i would be stunned if a month from now we're still engaged

00:04:31.780 in acts so look we're talking about relatively short-lived uh process at this point in time

00:04:37.200 hopefully trump won't end it on march 31st and then announce a full-scale ground invasion

00:04:43.500 on april 1st psych april fools that would be quite an april fools joke i'm just saying

00:04:52.300 i don't think trump will do that but he has been known to make some jokes oh yeah yeah i'm just i'm 0.95

00:04:58.980 just laughing at the stock market reaction uh if we actually had trump my fool's reactions can you

00:05:04.520 imagine like oh my goodness it would be the fastest crash and the fastest rebound in the

00:05:10.060 stock market we've ever seen if he's like we're going in heavy we're sending in a hundred thousand 0.89

00:05:14.320 soldiers into iran just kidding april fools you could see it in real time like just completely 0.79

00:05:19.860 go nuts um but i i look trump is very clear on what the mission is here he's going to finish 0.88

00:05:25.500 this up and it will be done and i i suppose clay that um the idea is there'll be a different tone

00:05:33.960 of negotiation from the iranians going forward like do you guys do you guys want this kind of

00:05:38.640 stuff or do you want to you know you basically trump says you got the easy way and the hard way

00:05:42.760 and the iranians were like hard way because they didn't think he would do it and he's trump so he

00:05:48.200 did it and now i think he'll go back to them again and it will be do you want the easy way or hard

00:05:52.700 way part two and maybe since he's taken out so much of the existing leadership whoever is in

00:05:57.960 charge going forward will say we're willing to be a little bit more constructive in these negotiations

00:06:03.160 on a whole range of things i think that's the best that's the best possible outcome as i see

00:06:08.440 it right now i don't see anything else um i know we talked something about yesterday about the

00:06:12.580 Gayatola little Mo as I called him did you see the report that came out I think I saw it this

00:06:18.620 morning I'm not sure initially when it came out that they said he happened to go for a walk

00:06:23.600 moments before the attack happened which is the only reason he's still alive right now that's

00:06:30.180 the first explanation I've seen because it has felt strange that his dad his wife his son and I

00:06:39.440 think his brother all died in that attack and somehow he survived we don't know very much about

00:06:44.560 him we don't know very much about his condition but that is a bit strange that he managed to go

00:06:51.400 for a walk at the exact moment that the attack happened just tossing it out there um that is

00:06:58.260 the report about how he survived now he may be dead uh because we still have not heard him talk

00:07:03.760 we still have not seen any video of him at a minimum as we played for you yesterday there

00:07:08.020 have been reports that he was severely injured but i do think anytime like you were in the cia

00:07:14.040 so anytime somebody happens to go for a walk right before a major bomb goes off a part of my i'm just

00:07:21.340 gonna say my alarm bells go on that that's either an incredibly unbelievable coincidence if that

00:07:28.360 report is true or maybe maybe he had a little bit of a heads up about what might have been happening

00:07:36.520 I'm just tossing it out there.

00:07:38.060 It just seems strange right before the whole place gets wiped out

00:07:41.560 that you decide to go for a walk on the street.

00:07:43.800 That's weird.

00:07:44.360 To borrow from our friend, the actor from The Fugitive,

00:07:47.840 it's a bit hinky.

00:07:49.240 It's a little hinky that you can't just know that your leader

00:07:53.440 or you can't prove that your leader is, in fact, fine.

00:07:56.100 There is something hinky about that, something a bit strange,

00:07:58.960 a bit unusual.

00:08:00.240 It's a clue.

00:08:01.420 I sent you that video after Friday we had the guy from The Fugitive on.

00:08:06.420 among many other movies that he had done and it is kind of crazy that they actually filmed

00:08:13.120 the fugitive scene on saint patrick's day in chicago live during the saint patrick's day

00:08:20.580 parade and there's an interview of tommy lee jones as he is going through the parade if you

00:08:27.380 watch that a lot of times i just think hey they just staged this there's no way they actually

00:08:31.120 filmed part of the movie during the saint patrick's day parade no they did it's a cool video footage

00:08:35.820 of The Fugitive from that day

00:08:38.160 they were filming in Chicago

00:08:39.920 and Tommy Lee Jones gets interviewed on WGN.

00:08:43.040 Tommy Lee Jones

00:08:44.060 in his heyday in the 90s,

00:08:46.140 fantastic. Great in that movie,

00:08:48.420 great in the early 2000s,

00:08:50.360 No Country for Old Men. Just forget 1.00

00:08:52.040 about his appearance in one of those really bad

00:08:53.940 Batman movies. Don't even...

00:08:55.680 Oh, I forgot about that one.

00:08:57.420 No, he was Two-Face. He was Two-Face, right, guys?

00:08:59.680 I don't even know. He was in one of those

00:09:01.460 Batman movies that I'm pretty sure the studio

00:09:03.460 that owns the rights to it lit all the

00:09:05.460 copies on fire so but Tommy Lee Jones back in the day was was fantastic Clay you're very optimistic

00:09:11.420 about all things in Iran right now super I and then look I tend to be optimistic in general

00:09:17.640 but I trust Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth I just think they've been phenomenal on most of their

00:09:25.240 foreign policy and I think if you look at how well things are going in Venezuela and if you

00:09:29.960 question how well things are going in venezuela you know they're going well because there's no

00:09:35.900 media coverage we have a predisposition in the united states for negative media coverage across

00:09:42.300 the board things go poorly they get more coverage things go well they get less coverage we just

00:09:47.200 opened back up the embassy in venezuela for the first time i think since 2013 ish was what i saw

00:09:53.280 and we've now raised the american flag there um i think we're going to be out of iran quickly

00:09:58.740 I suspect that we're going to eventually figure out who we can negotiate with and deal with.

00:10:04.220 I think one of the challenges in Iran right now the president's dealing with is who actually has power and who can make promises and who can engage in any court, any sort of rapprochement as it as it currently exists.

00:10:17.700 And Cuba, which we're going to talk about at the top of the next hour.

00:10:21.260 Buck, you said it ordinarily.

00:10:23.860 What's going on in Cuba would be a top story.

00:10:27.160 I remember, what was it, four or five years ago when we first started on the program together, if I'm remembering the math correctly, there were protests in Cuba, and we talked about that as the lead story.

00:10:37.640 Remember when they had the huge protests, people were waving American flags, then the Cuban government rose up and pushed back against them?

00:10:43.300 That was during Biden's administration, but the fact of where we are right now with Cuba is kind of extraordinary by itself, and I think it's directly connected to Venezuela and to Iran.

00:10:55.540 Here's one other thing as we go to break here to think about, Buck.

00:10:59.140 Russia and China have done nothing for Iran.

00:11:02.520 Remember when everybody out there was like, World War III will start.

00:11:05.940 China's not going to let Iran get wiped out.

00:11:08.380 Russia's not going to let Iran get wiped out.

00:11:11.560 This is the weakest alliance.

00:11:13.840 It's like a WWE alliance for those of you who are wrestling fans

00:11:17.780 where you look over your shoulder when you're in a tag team match

00:11:21.780 and your boy is now in cahoots with the other side,

00:11:28.440 there was no alliance here.

00:11:30.360 There is no support anywhere for Iran from any country.

00:11:34.040 It's kind of extraordinary to see just based on the way we were all told.

00:11:38.300 Oh, you've got to be careful.

00:11:39.620 Iran's got powerful allies.

00:11:41.260 Yeah, they ran, and they were not there at all.

00:11:44.120 I want to tell you, Tunnel to Towers, born on America's darkest day of 9-11.

00:11:49.080 We're coming up on the 25th anniversary of 9-11.

00:11:52.060 We are in the 25th anniversary year.

00:11:56.240 And we've got a story here about one of America's heroes, Robert Welsh, New York City firefighter.

00:12:02.340 Robert served as a police officer before his appointment to the fire department in 2001.

00:12:07.480 Just weeks after the 9-11 attacks, he was on the front lines of recovery efforts.

00:12:12.100 Robert dedicated nearly two decades of his life to protecting his community.

00:12:16.000 He coached youth sports, shared a great life with his wife, Jennifer, and their three kids.

00:12:20.640 But Robert lost his courageous battle with 9-11-related cancer, leaving behind his family.

00:12:26.580 In this 25th anniversary year of 9-11, we continue to see the toll that day is still taking on heroes and their families.

00:12:35.340 Tunnel to Towers honored Robert by paying the Welsh family's mortgage.

00:12:40.660 Show your support, as both Buck and I have done.

00:12:43.320 We love this organization.

00:12:45.140 Frank Siller does an amazing job.

00:13:41.160 second hour of play in but kicks off right now st patrick's day edition i'd say hello to all of

00:13:51.940 our boston area listeners but you're probably four guinnesses deep already and dressed like 0.92

00:14:00.380 a little leprechaun and running around the streets of southey having a great time uh so you're not

00:14:06.500 listening necessarily to the show um but i'm sure the saint patrick's day uh parade in new york

00:14:11.560 is going to be quite a quite an uh affair um i used to the only that's really the only parade

00:14:18.660 clay that i can think of in new york that on a sam i'm not a parade this is this will surprise

00:14:24.840 none of you i'm not really a parade guy you know i'm gonna i'm gonna join you buck this is maybe

00:14:30.960 you're going to surprise people i'm i'm very anti-parade i i don't i think parades existed

00:14:37.280 for a time before like screens and uh you know i don't i don't get it why parades in the 1940s

00:14:44.580 were a big deal right um you never went to the macy's thanksgiving day parade definitely not

00:14:50.960 nope not a thing well i get why parades are good for kids like there's the electrical light parade

00:14:57.080 at disney world which i would rank as number one on my parade list for little kids i think

00:15:02.800 parades make sense for adults i i don't understand the desire to watch i also watch

00:15:08.080 tell you that uh i lived on the route for many years on the actual route of the gay pride parade

00:15:16.740 in new york city and i saw things i saw things in that parade that i gotta tell you shouldn't

00:15:26.920 be going on in parades just gonna tell you that's a whole other the whole other thing a lot of

00:15:32.320 nudity a lot of a lot of crazy stuff going on so um i'm i'm not a parade guy the one exception i

00:15:39.240 have for parades was uh i love the scottish bag i mean the god scottish bagpipes whoops i love the

00:15:48.400 bagpipes and you'll hear on st patrick's day a lot of bagpipes going on now apparently i'm

00:15:56.800 You and the Queen Elizabeth was a huge bagpipe fan back in the day.

00:16:01.980 That's how she planned.

00:16:02.540 Bagpipes are awesome.

00:16:03.560 When she planned her funeral, she was like,

00:16:05.880 I want as many bagpipes as possible, basically.

00:16:08.400 I believe the bagpipes that you all think of when you think of the movie Braveheart

00:16:12.480 are actually Irish bagpipes, and they're Scottish bagpipes.

00:16:17.680 Scottish bagpipes are less, how do I put this nicely, melodic.

00:16:22.540 Irish bagpipes have a little more of a melody, kind of a sweetness to them.

00:16:26.800 I don't know much about this stuff, but I've just done a little digging on Braveheart,

00:16:31.020 so I figured these things out.

00:16:32.500 So, point being, if you're going to a St. Patrick's Day parade, have a great time,

00:16:36.620 and I hope you remember some of it.

00:16:38.620 And there's that.

00:16:40.140 We also have over in Ireland, which is the top of my list for the next place I want to go overseas with Carrie.

00:16:46.900 Our last little family trip was to Spain.

00:16:49.880 Loved Spain.

00:16:51.220 But I went to see the cathedrals, went to Toledo, and did all that.

00:16:54.400 I love Spain is an incredible civilization, a wonderful country.

00:16:58.580 Big fan.

00:16:59.740 Scotland is amazing, too.

00:17:01.100 I went to Scotland.

00:17:01.680 That was a lot of fun.

00:17:02.440 Ireland, that's where my people are from.

00:17:04.180 How Irish are you, by the way?

00:17:07.420 Like, by background.

00:17:09.040 Do you think 23andMe, like every human being in this country?

00:17:12.220 I did 23andMe, and I was hoping that I would be part black so I could start saying as an African-American,

00:17:20.500 I was entirely entirely English and Irish like my entire there was maybe a little bit of a little bit of North French, you know, because there used to be a lot of cross pollination between for those of you who are history nerds between England and France across the English channel there.

00:17:40.040 And so all that a lot of names that we think of as as Anglo or British like Fitzgerald, it's like Fitzgerald that actually comes from northern France.

00:17:50.200 There's a lot of that.

00:17:51.240 A lot of names that we think of as Anglo-Irish are actually French names that got brought over.

00:17:57.280 Supposedly, the Travis name is partly connected to Travers, which is a French derivation.

00:18:04.480 First of his name, I think, was around 900 in the Travis name, around 900, I think, in England.

00:18:12.820 So all British, all Irish. 1.00

00:18:15.080 And my mom sent me this, and I don't want to throw my mom under the bus here.

00:18:20.200 But I will say, my mom is not always 100% accurate in the information that she shares with me from the Internet.

00:18:27.000 I don't know if this is a general mom thing.

00:18:30.320 My dad used to send me those chain letters that were like, if you don't forward this on, you're going to have seven years of bad luck.

00:18:37.500 And I would be like, stop it.

00:18:38.720 And he's like, I can't.

00:18:39.640 I don't want the bad luck.

00:18:41.200 So my mom sent me something.

00:18:42.860 I don't know. You may have some knowledge on this, that green eyes are uniquely connected to the DNA from people who lived in Ireland.

00:18:55.100 I don't know if this is true at all. Some of you may be super smart when it comes to eye color.

00:19:01.860 She said that, again, this is my mom, so I don't want to throw her under the bus, but my mom is not 100% accurate on things on the Internet that she sends to me.

00:19:10.500 as i'm sure maybe some of your moms and grandmas are not are not as well but she sent me something

00:19:16.740 yesterday in honor of saint patrick's day saying green eyes are incredibly rare which is true

00:19:21.820 and that they have primarily derived from people who are of irish descent and so if you see someone

00:19:29.740 with green eyes hazel eyes that that is primarily connected to ireland um and it was a cool kind of

00:19:36.040 little take uh that she sent me that it's to be fair gone mega viral i think on instagram uh but

00:19:43.060 it had me thinking about it in advance of today being st patrick's day i like you have not spent

00:19:48.060 time in ireland i have been to england i have been to scotland uh i would like to go to ireland

00:19:54.160 and actually be able to do a good visit at some point in time i love guinness i have heard that

00:19:59.780 one of the coolest uh the tours you can take if you are a fan of guinness is they have the great

00:20:05.860 Guinness factory where they produce all of this I believe in Dublin I've been a bunch of you

00:20:10.640 who are listening to us have been there I am a big fan of Guinness um I'll probably have a few

00:20:15.380 pints today uh as I watch the U.S. hopefully beat Venezuela in the WBC but we'll see on the eye

00:20:23.360 color uh argument whether my mom is correct or not on that according to the internet which take

00:20:28.880 that as you will Ireland has the greatest concentration of green-eyed people and red-haired

00:20:35.040 people in the country i mean the world in the world per capita in the world yes so and your

00:20:41.320 son has got red hair he's got fiery red hair he's a little redhead he's he's like uh he looks like

00:20:47.060 jamie from uh outlander for those of you who are outlander fans he's got that fiery red hair

00:20:52.120 um but clay unfortunately the leadership of ireland when it comes to love of their country

00:20:58.660 and heritage not as fiery as some of us would want or rather sounds a bit more like you're at

00:21:03.860 davos lecture here is the irish president using the story of saint patrick to tell everybody

00:21:11.620 we know what we need in ireland more globalism and more uh migration from countries all over

00:21:20.080 the world that have nothing to do with ireland or have no similarity or commonality with ireland

00:21:23.920 play 15 the story of patrick's life serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage

00:21:31.760 of migrants, the invaluable contributions that they have made and continue to make to the

00:21:38.500 countries they now call home, sometimes even in the face of great adversity. As we recall the life

00:21:46.380 of Patrick, we invoke his spirit and acknowledge our shared responsibilities as global citizens.

00:21:54.260 Patrick's story invites us to respond with hospitality and kindness to those suffering

00:22:00.860 the consequences of war and displacement those fleeing their countries because of persecution

00:22:07.960 or violence i mean he's initially captured and as as a slave from britain brought to ireland to

00:22:16.780 work there and then he escaped and then he came back later as a missionary but he didn't he didn't

00:22:23.480 show up from um like bangladesh and say hey i want a lot of free stuff pay for all my things

00:22:29.920 and I don't plan to learn their language.

00:22:32.220 Things have changed quite a bit since migration in the 5th century.

00:22:36.220 That, yes, that also sounds like a guy who's playing the role of an Irish guy.

00:22:44.000 Listening to that audio, it doesn't sound like a real person.

00:22:48.180 It sounds like he's playing the role of an Irish guy in a movie.

00:22:52.300 That's a woman? I think that's a guy. 1.00

00:22:54.800 Did we just play the audio of?

00:22:57.420 It's a woman.

00:22:58.640 Oh, I thought that was a guy.

00:22:59.920 I am I the only person who thought that was a dude is that is that sexist of me I was like

00:23:08.660 this is kind of a soft like not very very fair voice we don't know how the president of Ireland

00:23:14.080 identifies but if you're going with is this a chick when you look at her it's a chick dude 0.95

00:23:19.260 I totally thought that was a dude no like no I kind of a weak voice dude am I the only person

00:23:25.320 that thought that was a dude, please, other people out there listening.

00:23:29.660 You're not going to hire her for the Outkick bikini calendar, 1.00

00:23:32.100 but it is a female, yes. 0.87

00:23:33.800 I totally thought that was an effeminate dude.

00:23:39.060 I was like, this sounds like somebody who's trying to be blandly inoffensive

00:23:43.020 and playing a role of blandly inoffensive, apologetic dude.

00:23:47.740 So, well, I guess that's a masculine-sounding chick in some way then.

00:23:54.240 you yeah you had you knew 100 that was a dude or you knew because i knew it was a chick it's a lot

00:24:01.020 of dude it's the it's the opposite of yeah well right but you knew you knew based on the voice

00:24:05.120 it's not even a dude who looks like a lady it looks like a lady yeah we don't have video

00:24:09.280 this is what do you mean there's video yes i'm saying but we're not watching the video so i'm

00:24:15.800 only it's a theater of the mind i'm only hearing a voice and i was picturing that being a man

00:24:20.520 speaking i don't know i think that gets you a headbutt and some guinness thrown in your face

00:24:25.240 uh in dublin buddy so that's all i can tell you um my my point here on ireland is

00:24:31.280 20 of ireland is now foreign born the number in the last 10 years is going up dramatically

00:24:39.280 and the and the irish leadership they see what's gone on in places like germany and sweden and

00:24:46.460 belgium and they're like you know we need some of that and france you know we need some of that

00:24:52.820 well let's get some of that going on let's bring in as many people from other places as we can as

00:24:59.180 fast as we can and see what happens to our culture to our political unity and everything else but

00:25:05.100 the irish look just historically they got a big i'm not talking about irish americans which is

00:25:10.380 probably about a third of this audience right now including clay and me i'm talking about the actual

00:25:13.880 irish irish big chip they love they love you know they love the plo they love cuba they love they

00:25:20.420 love all the like downtrodden leftists of the world because they're right next door to great

00:25:25.900 britain and yeah they've had all their beef with britain and the ira and everything else but at the

00:25:29.800 end of the day they're next door to britain it's a pretty safe cozy little place to be do you know

00:25:34.540 where all of this comes from though unfortunately people in ireland and people in most western

00:25:41.820 civilization countries are just not having enough babies like this is why ultimately i understand

00:25:48.220 the idea of oh we just want to be welcoming for everybody the population collapsed japan italy

00:25:54.680 uh ireland i'm sure when it comes to actual numbers of babies that irish women are having 1.00

00:26:01.240 which by the way if you went back to america in the 1880s if we had said hey you know what's

00:26:07.400 going to be an issue one day for ireland they're not going to have enough kids a lot of people

00:26:11.780 would have rolled their eyes and said yeah you know the the whole phrase irish twins which i

00:26:16.940 don't know if it's offensive or not but you know it's like you're having babies so close together

00:26:21.020 is is called irish twins for a reason but the population is collapsing i bet here's off the

00:26:26.440 top of my head i bet the average irish woman right now buck is having we'll look this up i bet 0.97

00:26:32.120 they're having 1.35 children on average and so over generations we'll look up what the number

00:26:38.840 actually is 1.5 you're close 1.5 so and and they're going to be a negative negative um

00:26:46.940 territory their population will start contracting within the next 20 years based on current trend

00:26:53.020 so this is why they're trying this is the root cause like they may say oh we want to be welcoming

00:26:57.700 and all these other things they're importing people who are having far more children which

00:27:01.880 then becomes even more dangerous buck because in the future ireland will be largely not irish which

00:27:08.540 doesn't seem ideal to me see this is this is what the frustration is though and by the way we're all

00:27:12.900 we all understand right there's a lot of this with america too uh that you have people who are

00:27:17.060 overtaxed and overburdened and overregulated and have to deal with all the nonsense of the

00:27:22.860 government make in this country the cost of housing has gotten completely outrageous you have to make

00:27:27.740 100% more to qualify for the same

00:27:29.780 house you would have five years ago. That's insane.

00:27:32.280 Purely government policy driven

00:27:33.620 and we're bringing people from all over the world

00:27:35.860 who go on welfare. So a lot

00:27:37.820 of Americans of all colors

00:27:39.660 of all ethnicities, of all backgrounds, a lot of

00:27:41.600 actual Americans though are saying

00:27:43.860 I can't afford to have kids

00:27:45.820 and then people show up here who don't

00:27:47.820 actually contribute, have five

00:27:49.680 kids and go the state's going to pay for all my kids. 1.00

00:27:51.740 Yes. And that is happening

00:27:53.820 in Europe and it is happening here

00:27:55.360 and people are sick of it.

00:27:57.740 The number of people out there who, if you sit around and think, I can't afford to have kids, you are in the minority.

00:28:05.380 People who are just, to Buck's point, who actually can't afford to have kids are the ones having kids.

00:28:11.800 And a lot of people out there who are highly educated and have resources, they don't think they can afford kids.

00:28:17.800 It's a major issue.

00:28:19.580 And again, this is the underlying impetus under which all of this immigration is happening.

00:29:17.340 eastern in the clay and buck podcast feed find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your

00:29:23.060 podcasts. Welcome in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show, hour number three. We have talked a great

00:29:30.380 deal on the program over the past several weeks about Iran and what the future may hold there

00:29:37.040 as the American military operation continues. And we have taken a lot of calls from people

00:29:43.240 of Iranian descent who live in the United States now to give us an idea of what their friends and

00:29:48.820 family back in Iran are saying and what they think the appropriate outcome is here. Many

00:29:54.920 different perspectives on that. We are excited to bring in now a man who has a lot of thoughts

00:29:59.900 on exactly what should happen. His name is Shervin Fishfahar, an advisor to Iran Prosperity Project

00:30:07.580 and venture capitalist. And let's start with this. Thank you for coming on the program.

00:30:13.180 What is the latest you are hearing from friends, family connections in Iran about the on the ground situation and what the average person's life is like inside of that country right now?

00:30:27.160 absolutely this is a historic moment for all iranians what we're hearing uh on a daily basis

00:30:36.460 is iranians are cheering from the balconies as this uh precision liberation campaign uh is is

00:30:45.040 is proceeding uh in this kind of second half week uh we are seeing the the drones coming in

00:30:52.160 And going after the Beshiji militia that were responsible for killing over 43,000 Iranians on January 8th and 9th after President Trump bravely told the Iranian people to come out in the streets and protest, we'll have your back. 0.57

00:31:10.480 And the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called everyone to come out on January 8th and 9th at 8 p.m.

00:31:16.840 And they were massacred.

00:31:18.380 And that created a moral contract and the Iranian people, there's many videos of them that posted videos saying this is going to be my last post. 0.81

00:31:29.240 So these Iranians who sacrificed their lives for liberty have more in common with the American revolutionary fighters who fought for the creation of America and liberty here that we're so blessed to have than they do with this evil regime. 0.80

00:31:46.620 So they're now cheering the Basijis being killed by these drones. 0.91

00:31:55.640 And they're calling it, by the way, popcorn.

00:31:58.660 The whole country is calling it that.

00:32:01.000 They're watching it and cheering it.

00:32:03.720 They're also playing sounds of drones from their speakers to scare the Basijis. 0.99

00:32:09.680 So there's videos of Basijis running from their stations because they're hearing over the loud speakers the drone sounds from Iranian citizens who are against them.

00:32:21.720 They're also reporting the Basiji locations. So in many ways, the Iranian people are unarmed soldiers in this fight for liberty. 0.61

00:32:32.060 and we have a whole plan that i'll talk about the crown prince's leadership has been absolutely key

00:32:41.400 the iranian prosperity project is 175 page plan that goes into detail about the reconstruction

00:32:48.780 of iran we'll talk about that as well but on the ground there is a whole movement of

00:32:57.500 of people who are wanting their freedom, wanting a new Iran, wanting a democracy.

00:33:05.440 And this plan is in the emergency phase of the plan is to have a 100-day plan to a referendum

00:33:12.260 for the people to vote on a new form of government.

00:33:16.200 I also want to say something.

00:33:18.580 The Iranian-Americans like myself who came to America have been so blessed by America.

00:33:24.720 We would be over there right now suffering.

00:33:29.160 These poor people, the 93 million of them, have been in an open-air prison, an extermination camp, for 47 years.

00:33:39.460 And they're just as talented as we are.

00:33:41.480 There's just a couple million Iranians in America who are blessed to come here.

00:33:46.160 We've added up the economic impact of those Iranian-Americans.

00:33:51.340 It's in the trillions of dollars.

00:33:52.760 People like Dara Khosrowshahi, who joined – I helped – I was on the board of Uber and helped build Uber as well with Travis Kalanick and Emile Micah.

00:34:04.400 I helped recruit Emile Micah, who's now the Undersecretary of War for R&D, and he's leading this whole AI war.

00:34:13.540 But Iranian-Americans have built companies like Uber, Google, Omid Kordesani, eBay, created millions of jobs in America. Just imagine 93 million of these brilliant Iranians were trapped there unleashing on the world. It's going to be the biggest piece and economic dividend that we've seen. 1.00

00:34:34.860 The team at the Iranian Prosperity Project has estimated the economic impact just to America is over $1.2 trillion of trade in a free Iran without sanctions and a democracy would happen between America and Iran.

00:34:53.180 So the impact is going to be massive. It's very similar to what happened in Europe after World War II, when you had Germany, Poland, etc., beginning to develop. So you have basically the kind of Poland-level underinvestment, Germany-level industrial sophistication and Vietnam-style labor arbitrage available in a near run.

00:35:16.520 and shirvan if i could ask you uh thank you for being here and shirvan is with the he's an advisor

00:35:22.420 rather to the iran prosperity project um where are we on getting rid of the uh tyrants who are

00:35:30.060 already in charge um it's great to hear that people are happy about the trump airstrikes

00:35:34.840 and i think the plan for a future iran would be exciting not just for people in that country but

00:35:41.160 for people all over the world because of how much could be done there that's fantastic but

00:35:45.940 In the meantime, how do we get rid of the MOLAs, the IRGC, the besiege, all of the above? 0.99

00:35:53.980 Absolutely.

00:35:55.100 Look, this is, I call it the Trump doctrine of preemption, and it's powered by AI.

00:36:00.500 This is the first American AI war.

00:36:04.320 The precision lethality that we're watching happen over the last couple of weeks is really stunning.

00:36:10.300 I was talking to a friend of mine who's in the intelligence world and specifically about this.

00:36:18.060 And the reason why this is important, if you can go 30,000 feet above just the Iran situation, which people can have different views on,

00:36:28.180 but above that is this reality of nuclear deterrence is actually not as important as what's happening now.

00:36:36.700 We need to deter these evil regimes, these mafia states, from being able to use the very same technologies that we're all seeing, this precision lethality, these drones, this AI-powered warfare.

00:36:50.120 If that gets into the hands of an Iran, if it gets into the hands of Russia, China, and North Korea, our future in America is at peril. 0.99

00:37:02.920 People don't need nuclear bombs to cause absolute mayhem.

00:37:06.700 They could use AI to build new viruses that basically assassinate political leaders,

00:37:15.440 take out the whole Congress and the Senate by building a virus that specifically targets the genes of individuals.

00:37:21.620 So we're at the dawn of a very scary time.

00:37:26.480 And this lethality, we have the advantage right now.

00:37:30.220 But in five years, those types of drones and drone swarms could be coming on American cities.

00:37:36.180 And so we have to wake up and realize we can't live in a world where you have a terror state that is continuing to try to build not just nuclear bombs, but drones, and then shipping those drones to Ukraine and Russia to help the Russians. 0.52

00:37:54.440 It's a new reality.

00:37:56.640 And the reason why Trump has been so visionary, as you just played, Trump was talking about this in 1988.

00:38:04.820 It was prophetic.

00:38:06.180 He talked about Haag Island.

00:38:07.620 He talked about taking out this regime back then.

00:38:11.460 He's had this principle.

00:38:13.300 This isn't Israel affecting America's policy.

00:38:16.920 This is an American president who's had this vision for a long time of getting rid of these types of evil regimes

00:38:23.880 that are an absolute existential threat to our American way of life and freedom.

00:38:29.240 This is an immune response to a world that is full of peril if we don't start to wake up and get ahead of it.

00:38:38.780 And the Iran war and liberation is the first, I think, signal.

00:38:43.480 And Venezuela was important, and it was very fast.

00:38:48.120 But the precision of the Iranian war is a signal of what's to come.

00:38:52.820 And we have our advantage right now. We have to press it in Iran and against other regimes that are going to use these same technologies on us in the future.

00:39:04.140 A couple of questions that I'd be curious to get your read on.

00:39:07.980 And we're talking to Shervin Fishfahar, incredibly successful venture capital, among many other things that he has done, venture capitalist here in the United States.

00:39:16.220 What is the impact of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, all these other different places in the Middle East that used to be far smaller and less successful economically, suddenly becoming far more successful than Iran, if you look at relative economic size and per capita income?

00:39:39.000 And that's part one.

00:39:40.540 How much does, in other words, the neighborhood of the Middle East rising up as Iran has been falling down?

00:39:46.220 How understood is that inside of the country of Iran?

00:39:49.940 And what do you think the percentage is of Iranians that support just the physical overthrow of the government?

00:39:58.360 In other words, what percentage support the existing power structure?

00:40:03.300 Kind of take us into the world of the Iranian mind as you see it.

00:40:08.240 That's a great question. Basically, Jimmy Carter, a peanut farmer from Georgia, I think was the worst president in modern history.

00:40:21.280 He affected the Middle East and the world and America in a way that we're all suffering from that huge mistake.

00:40:28.340 The Crown Prince's father, Muhammad Reza Pallavi, the Shah, was working on modernizing Iran, was way ahead of everyone else, had the fourth largest army, an economy that was booming, was modernizing Iran, and he allowed these mullahs to come in and cause absolute mayhem in the Middle East and the world. 0.98

00:40:52.380 They've been our enemy using proxies. They've been the enemy of Israel, trying to destroy Israel. 0.95

00:40:58.160 And we've been living in a new reality since 1979 for 47 years.

00:41:04.960 And the poor Iranians have been the ones that have to have to suffer the brunt of it.

00:41:10.140 But many others have also suffered.

00:41:12.680 Those countries in the Middle East, to their credit, have advanced in the last 25 years.

00:41:18.940 I was in Dubai in 2001, 2002, and there was a smattering of buildings.

00:41:25.240 These are basically nation states that have accelerated in the same way in America in the 1950s after World War II.

00:41:33.680 You know, we spent unbelievable amounts of our GDP modernizing America and advancing our economy after World War II,

00:41:41.460 built the interstate highway and and all of the defense capabilities and then also if you look at

00:41:50.260 putting a man on the moon in the 1950s those moon shots that was like 250 billion dollars

00:41:55.860 of investment in those dollars back then it was a significant the courage it took to invest

00:42:01.700 that kind of capital paid dividends for all of our lives we're all beneficiaries of that

00:42:06.900 The Middle East learned from that and they've invested billions of dollars in Qatar and Saudi Arabia and UAE and have advanced, you know, far ahead.

00:42:16.860 Now, the reality is everyone thought that they didn't, no one expected, as President Trump said yesterday, they didn't expect to be attacked.

00:42:26.760 You know, they weren't attacking Iran, but 14 nations got attacked by the Iranians. 0.90

00:42:31.340 That shows the insanity of this cult mafia state, this Shia Islamic mafia state that is like a cult, that is a terror organization that's taken over a nation state. 1.00

00:42:45.300 Their insanity is to then attack 14 countries. 0.95

00:42:50.900 And so we're in a completely new Middle East.

00:42:53.180 Everything has changed.

00:42:54.960 The countries that didn't sign the Abraham Accords are going to rush to sign it because you know why? 0.95

00:42:59.700 They want the Iron Dome technology. They want to be able to shoot down missiles with lasers.

00:43:06.160 So this kind of new reality is going to reshape the Middle East and our world in a way that is advantageous to America's national security. 0.99

00:43:16.680 One thing I wrote when I went to Berkeley years ago is in colleges, our moral security presages our physical security.

00:43:27.060 If we don't actually take care of these principles and make sure we protect them, then our physical security will be at risk, like what happened in 9-11, like what's happened on 10-7, like what would have happened if we had allowed this regime to continue.

00:43:44.300 Larry Johnny was killed.

00:43:45.880 The news broke out this morning.

00:43:47.540 Larry Johnny was one of the most evil but highly competent operators in the Islamic regime. 0.99

00:44:01.200 who was head of radio and television, because he was helping people escape from the country

00:44:05.740 during the revolution. This is all full circle. These are very evil, evil people. No one should

00:45:10.160 time when that mom sees her baby on a pre-born ultrasound she chooses life this march pre-born

00:46:28.820 Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.

00:46:32.380 We appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

00:46:35.180 We are joined now by Lieutenant Colonel Clay Fuller, former district attorney, the Republican nominee for Georgia 14.

00:46:42.520 uh as that is marjorie taylor green's former district um clay great name we appreciate you

00:46:49.000 joining the uh the show uh what should people out there know as georgia is going to emerge

00:46:54.960 as a major battleground senate governors but also your seat what do people need to know about this

00:47:01.420 going forward yeah first off there's a a democrat in the race um this has gone to a runoff and the

00:47:10.540 the person that we're up against for April 7th is a Democrat. He's done a really good job of

00:47:14.780 running a race of not defining himself with any policy positions or with any party. So our job

00:47:20.280 now is to let the voters of Georgia 14 know that there is a Democrat in the race that does not

00:47:25.640 represent Northwest Georgia values. And so we're getting out there and telling the voters about my

00:47:30.580 background. And obviously we've been supported by President Trump. So making sure people understand

00:47:35.260 they understand they've got a choice between a MAGA conservative that's supported by President

00:47:41.220 Trump or a radical or the radical left. Lieutenant Colonel, thanks for being here.

00:47:47.500 Let's let's just get to it on what do you think about the situation in the Middle East right now

00:47:51.860 with Iran? What's your view of it? Yeah, so I fully support President Trump decimating the

00:47:58.700 Iranian military and all of their capabilities. Obviously, they're the number one state sponsor

00:48:03.040 of terror in the region. And one of the mentors that I've had in my career is General Dan Raisin

00:48:10.880 Cain. And he said it's very important that there can be no power projection at any point from

00:48:16.140 the Iranian regime. So I fully support President Trump and what he's done in the Middle East

00:48:20.440 and making sure that the Iranian regime cannot threaten the United States or our neighbors.

00:48:28.260 You mentioned the race is on April 7th.

00:48:31.820 I imagine the biggest challenge right now is just making people aware that the race is going on, right?

00:48:38.620 We just had the same issue with a seat to fill in my home district in the state of Tennessee,

00:48:43.580 and Democrats try to steal in, and they take advantage of the fact that Democrat voters tend to be very motivated on these special elections,

00:48:51.700 and a lot of times Republicans are just busy and don't necessarily know.

00:48:55.220 So is your biggest battle, given the district right now, just making people aware because it's a non-traditional time to be voting that they need to get out and get their ballots counted?

00:49:06.140 That's exactly it. Job number one for us is getting out the vote.

00:49:09.920 Obviously, it's a difficult time period because April 7th is right after Easter.

00:49:15.200 Normally, we'd have five days of early voting, but that goes up to Good Friday.

00:49:19.980 And so we're trying to make sure that voters understand that they need to get back out after the March 10th primary vote in the in the runoff year.

00:49:28.760 And they need to make a plan. The other challenge that we have in a number of counties in the southern part of the district, they have spring break over that week of April 7th.

00:49:37.220 So we really are trying to get that message out to every voter across the district.

00:49:41.620 Please make your plan, because we cannot take this for granted.

00:49:46.240 It would be a tragedy for Georgia 14 if a Democrat won the seat.

00:49:50.140 It would be a tragedy for the MAGA movement and for President Trump.

00:49:52.660 So we have to stay motivated because the Democrats are going to do it.

00:49:55.220 The radical left is going to come out.

00:49:56.860 And we just have to make sure that we're driving out our voters on April 7th.

00:50:01.020 If I could ask you, Lieutenant Colonel, I know you're focused on your race, as you should be.

00:50:04.780 And everyone listening, and especially everyone who lives in your district, is paying close attention to that.

00:50:10.180 But you've also got some important things happening on the Senate side in your state.

00:50:15.080 Just what can you tell us about the political trajectory right now in Georgia?

00:50:19.300 Where do they stand vis-a-vis the administration?

00:50:22.160 Are things looking better for Republicans since 2024, about the same?

00:50:26.920 How would you, because you're obviously very plugged into the numbers and the sentiment,

00:50:31.560 what's the feel, what's the vibe right now politically in Georgia?

00:50:34.840 yeah unfortunately georgia is going to be the bell of the ball for every election it seems 1.00

00:50:40.320 like coming up but i think the momentum's on our side and i think you saw what we did from an

00:50:45.300 organizing organizing standpoint in 2024 to make sure that we're driving out the vote

00:50:49.580 and also the really important thing which is has been a change not only in georgia 14

00:50:54.240 but across the the state on on the right is trying to tell voters early voting is okay

00:51:00.840 Obviously, normally we do so well on Election Day. But if we can get out there and bank those votes early, because I don't I don't know if you know much about Georgia weather.

00:51:10.680 Last week we were at 70 degrees and then just yesterday we had snow. And so you never know what the weather is going to be like here in Georgia in the spring.

00:51:19.660 So if you've got time to go and early vote, go and make that decision and knock it out.

00:51:25.400 And if we do that, continue to drive out the vote because President Trump's policies are resonating in Georgia.

00:51:31.440 The victory is there. The win is there to send a conservative to to the U.S. Senate.

00:51:36.880 We just have to make sure that we're getting out our voters when when we make that choice.

00:51:41.500 So April 7th, we want to make sure everybody listening in North Georgia gets out and votes.

00:51:45.460 But then you'll be back on the ballot in in November.

00:51:49.020 How does this work? I presume this is to fill out the remaining term of Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:51:54.040 So basically, you're going to be running for the rest of this year. Am I right?

00:51:58.840 That's right, Clay. I'm in endless campaign season for the rest of my life, it seems like.

00:52:04.000 So with the way that Marjorie stepped down, it created a special election. 1.00

00:52:08.300 And in Georgia, that's a jungle primary. So that's why the top two vote getters in the March 10th primary won as a Democrat.

00:52:16.800 So then that runoff for the special election, which will be to fill Marjorie Greene's, the rest of Marjorie Greene's seat until the end of December of 2026. 0.99

00:52:26.240 That's April 7th. And then there will be another primary on May 19th.

00:52:30.360 Obviously, we're hoping to be in that primary as as the incumbent.

00:52:33.800 And then there will be the general election in November of this year.

00:52:38.960 So we've got elections coming up. So, yes, sir.

00:52:41.540 Yeah, May 19th, you mentioned, okay, so I want everybody to go vote for Clay Fuller,

00:52:45.640 easy name to remember here if you listen to this show, on April 7th.

00:52:50.480 I want you guys to go get to vote for him.

00:52:52.440 But then May 19th, almost immediately we're flipping.

00:52:56.040 We've got a hugely competitive Republican ticket and Democrat ticket,

00:53:00.800 as Buck mentioned, in a state that is very much the center battleground state.

00:53:06.440 What is the expectation for turnout in that primary?

00:53:09.740 I know you got a contested decision on who the governor should be and the nominee for Republicans and Democrats as well, but also the Senate race.

00:53:19.440 I mean, the amount of money that's going to be spent in Georgia is going to be off the charts.

00:53:24.640 It really is. And the big concern for me in my race is making sure we don't hit voter fatigue.

00:53:31.380 But we know voters in Georgia 14 and across the state of Georgia care about who's going to lead them.

00:53:37.460 They care about the policies of getting regulations off their back, taxes off their back.

00:53:42.780 They just want to they want it to be the free state of Georgia.

00:53:45.420 So they're going to be very concerned about getting the right people in there.

00:53:48.600 And I think they're going to be voting red both in May and then in November as well.

00:53:52.940 So I think we're not going to have a problem as long as we continue to turn out the voters.

00:53:58.280 All right. Clay Fuller is his name. Everybody in Georgia, 14, I believe is correct.

00:54:03.140 right april 7th we need you to get out and vote for clay fuller and then you can show backup after

00:54:08.700 he wins on april 7th with all of your support and vote for him again the next month in the primary

00:54:14.560 and all of you should be engaged in voting uh in this georgia primary that is coming up because

00:54:19.200 there's a lot of big decisions to make there too clay we appreciate the time uh and we want
