1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Musk is learning the hard way. I mean, in a

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: really expensive way.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: You shouldn't support any of these people, any of the groups,

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: any of the candidates. Yeah, these people, you can trust

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: them as far as you can throw them.

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 3: But isn't this interesting because Building America's Future, which is

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: a political nonprofit partially funded by Elon Musk, is now

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: spending over a million dollars on an ad campaign and

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: it supports the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: Donald Trump.

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: So Elon Musk gave to this, this group Building America's Future.

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: Now does it say when the last I don't think

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: Gordon's article. I don't think he's given recently. But I

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: think he gave them a bunch of money because they

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: were aligned with Trump, right, and now they are using

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: that money that he gave them to promote TV AD,

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: internet ad, et cetera, the passage of the Big Bullcrap Bill,

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: which Elon Musk hates. So you want to talk about

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: a double stinger. I not only did you give all

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: these guys all this money and then they didn't follow

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: it through? Now some group you gave money to his

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: running ads.

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: Right right?

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? So Elon Musky opposed it. He called it a

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: discussing abomination and also a disaster. Him and Donald Trump

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: had a very public clash on social media. And now

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: we're going to use his money, though, to promote the

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: one Big Beautiful Bill. It's a thirty second ad. It's

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: titled Independence Yeah, and it's going to air nationally on

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: Fox News starting Monday. So the ad is going to

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: praise the bill for eliminating taxes on tips in overtime, which,

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: you know, you hear all these stories about Vegas dying.

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: Isn't that where the tax on tips originated was a.

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Legalized vote buying scheme for the state of Nevada. That's

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: exactly what that was about.

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: Sure, the ad is also going to praise doubling the

37
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: child tax credit, cutting taxes for seniors, and helping working

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: families keep more of what they earn.

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: How about the deficit? Anything about out of the national debt?

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Anything in there about what it's going to do to

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: the national debt, anything in there about inflation?

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Any No, no mentions there. Huh, Well, that's weird.

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: See, I'm glad you brought this story to my attention

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: because sometimes I get a little Sometimes the case I get,

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: I get, well, no I get a little downhearted about

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: about how the Gov and Lieutenant go. Well, they basically

47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: lied to the public and stabbed everybody in the back

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: and didn't do anything they promised. And now they're just out,

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: you know, doing photo ops, going to candy stores and

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: pizza kings and you know, state fairs and blah blah blah.

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: And we got to sit here and deal with their

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: non their non compliance and the things that they espoused

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: they wanted to do. And you know, hope people got

54
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: mad at me for a while about that. And hey,

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: you know, I took a flyer because here's the thing.

56
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: People are always like. I had this conversation with somebody yesterday,

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: two days ago. Now in fact, I think and they said,

58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: you know, people are always like Rob never wants to

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: say who he supports. Rob never stands up for anyone.

60
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 2: Rob just says everyone's mad. Well, the one time I

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 2: did it, look it how bad that went.

62
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: For today turned out?

63
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: And you know, for a few days, some people were

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: kind of upset about all the things that happened in

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: the legislative session. And then you know, I said, I'm sorry,

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: I tried, I'll never try again, and somebody else can

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: be in charge of deciding who to vote for going forward,

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: and I'll spend the next three and a half years

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: on these airwaves getting my revenge.

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: At least I didn't lose any money in the process.

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. I'm like Elon Musk, right, So Musk,

72
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: you remember he vowed to fund any challengers against Republicans

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: who back the bill. He also launched that new political group,

74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: the America Party.

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: How's that going?

76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Have I known anything about that? I have no idea.

77
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't I don't know. This is

78
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: my point. And so it goes back to the drive

79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: in that I had the other day. And it's interesting.

80
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: My wife and I were having this conversation the other

81
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: day and we were talking about learning lessons in life,

82
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: and for me, the past year has just been another lesson.

83
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: But my whole life, I feel, has been like a

84
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: variety of lessons. Like I've owned businesses that did very well.

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: I've made investments in businesses. If you're thinking about buying

86
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: a radio station, don't don't do it that have not

87
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: done so well. And we're talking about you know, said

88
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: for me, I'm been able to process things now at

89
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: forty years old, where it's sometimes while the thing itself

90
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: is harmful to you in some capacity, what you learned

91
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: from it and what you take from it, Like owning

92
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: that radio station. I learned so many things in that

93
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: radio station that helped me get move and benefited me

94
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: throughout the rest of my life that I've ended up

95
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: being priceless. So you can't look at it, well, I

96
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: lost X amount of money on whatever, because then you

97
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: got to look at.

98
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: All the businesses you made money on.

99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: And so in terms of politics and Micah and Braun

100
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: not following through or doing the things they promised or

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: making the state better, being just complete whims and clearly

102
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: just wanting to be politicians and not care about the people.

103
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that stings.

104
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: But if the lesson out of that is don't believe

105
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: anybody's bull crap anymore. No matter how much you think

106
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: you can trust somebody, or how much you think that

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: they're going to follow through on something, or how much

108
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: you want to believe.

109
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: You just can't do it. And look at Elon Musk.

110
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: This makes me feel so much better about myself, Casey,

111
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: because I lost zero dollars, just my dignity and my gas.

112
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: That's all I lost.

113
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: This lesson costs a lot more money. Well, what's the

114
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: saying Thomas Edison learned one hundred ways not to make

115
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: a lifeol.

116
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then that's in this business in our field.

117
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: You got to just it's water off of it's water

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: off a ducts back in. My wife is like, how

119
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: do you do that? And I said, because I've been

120
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: through it so much, and I've had so many good

121
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: experiences and so many bad experiences.

122
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: You process it, you go with it.

123
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: If you don't learn anything from it, if you don't

124
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: do anything different going forward, then yeah, it's a sunk cost,

125
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: or it's a lost cause. It's bad, but it's a

126
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: sunk cost at this point. And for Elon Musk, I

127
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: hope he's learned.

128
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope.

129
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: For Elon Musk it is just a multi billion dollar

130
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: revenge tour that he goes on.

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, speaking of making money, don't don't cry for him.

132
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 3: He's wiping his tears with one hundred dollars else he's

133
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: Tesla is now giving Elon Musk ninety six million shares,

134
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 3: which is worth about twenty nine billion dollars. Oh wow, Yeah,

135
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: this is an interim payment payment.

136
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: It's a good faith move.

137
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: Oh it was supposed to be originally fifty six billion

138
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 3: pay package from twenty eighteen.

139
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: Uh huh. But Delaware judge, Yeah, remember remember that got

140
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: as that.

141
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: Was unfairly negotiated, so and struck it down. So now

142
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: they've got this new deal and Tesla is going to

143
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: be giving him twenty nine billion dollars. They're like, please, elon,

144
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 3: don't leave. Okay, So there's a whole lot of money.

145
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: Just remember in life, this is to the audience, not

146
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: to you, because I know you know this, but every experience,

147
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: if you can take something with it, something that will

148
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: help you later in life, there is value in that thing.

149
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: And sometimes you really do struggle on things that are hard,

150
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: or people who let you down, or things that you're

151
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: like I invested in, whether it's a person or a thing,

152
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: and it doesn't work out. But I think you can

153
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: almost always find something that you've learned from it, and

154
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: that little nugget or that little thing, or sometimes a

155
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: big nugget or a big thing may end up saving

156
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: you so much down the road that you look back

157
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: and go, Okay, that's why, that's why you know the
