1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. I hope all 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: of you are having fantastic Fridays. 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: I bet there are some bleary eyes. 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: Across the nation because basketball did not end until one 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: am last night on the East coast. I am on 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: the East coast in Washington. 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 3: D C. 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: Gearing up for a trip with President Trump on Air 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: Force one. 10 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: That does not stink. 11 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm excited to be here in our DC studio Freedom 12 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: one oh four point seven reminder, and thank you. We 13 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: hit five hundred and fifty five affiliate stations this week, 14 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: up nearly two hundred since we started four years ago. 15 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: That is a testament to this audience, to the show, 16 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: and to people being able to overlook buck Sexton hating 17 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: cobbler and having pistachio ice cream fantasies. So the fact 18 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,319 Speaker 1: that we've overcome all that is truly remarkable. We got 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot to dive into here. President Trump this morning 20 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: has officially signed papers to end the Department of Education, 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: and we're going to be reacting to that. Elon Musk, 22 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: I think it's really kind of extraordinary. Has become even 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: more of a target. I bet you would agree with this, 24 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: Buck than even Trump himself. Now, I think they've recognized 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: that there are no new attacks they can levy on Trump. 26 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean, once they call you Hitler and the American 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: public goes ahead and votes for you, it's like, oh, 28 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that anything is really registering when it 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: comes to the attacks on Trump. But they are coming 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: after Elon with a vengeance. And I was listening this 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: morning our friend Sean Parnell, formerly of the Clay and 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: Buck podcast at Network, now high up at the Department 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: of Defense. Elon was meeting at the Pentagon this morning 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: and the meeting was designed to try to figure out 35 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: ways to save more money through DOGE. It was reported 36 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: in the New York Times that the meeting, and on 37 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: its face, I just thought this was crazy, Buck, and 38 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't know about you. The New York Times reported 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: that Elon was getting access to how we would respond 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: to China militarily in the event they attacked, which is 41 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: so outlandish and crazy. Like I thought I was being 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: pranked when I saw the headline. They say that it 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: is completely untrue. Here is Sean Parnell talking about what 44 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: Elon was doing on the Pentagon visit, and I know 45 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: Trump and Pete hegset. Defense Secretary have just addressed it 46 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: in the last several minutes from inside of the Oval office. 47 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: But here's our friend Sean Parnell cut six on the record. 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: That is completely fake. And let me show you this. 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: This started with this New York Times headline and they 50 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 4: since changed it. But Musk set to get access to 51 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 4: top secret US plan for potential war with China. This 52 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: is egregious, This is fake. The New York Times should 53 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 4: retract this story. Five anonymous sources. I've been on Bilat 54 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 4: calls with the Secretary. 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 2: I see how. 56 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: Hard he's working to implement the President's agenda and pursue 57 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 4: peace through strength. This type of garbage from the New 58 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 4: York Times undermines that process, undermines our mission. It shouldn't 59 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 4: happen at all. Elon Musk is just coming over here 60 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 4: for a visit. 61 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: I mean, buck, this is kind of crazy. First of all, 62 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: do you buy that they would be giving a brief 63 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: Why would they give Elon Musk a briefing on the 64 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: military response in the event we went to war with China. 65 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: It's a very strange thing, like what's going on? 66 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 5: No, I think that whatever it is that they were 67 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 5: reporting whatever their sources said was either just flat out 68 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 5: wrong or misreported because they had the story wrong right, 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 5: So it was either they just ran with it and 70 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 5: didn't care, or they exaggerated dramatically. Whatever it was that 71 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 5: I've been said, Keep in mind, Elon Musk already has 72 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 5: a top secret and compartmented security clearance. He can see 73 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 5: a lot. There seems to be this very weird game, 74 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 5: you know, Tim Wallas. I think recently Clay said that 75 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 5: Elon should go back to South Africa or something like that. 76 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: Yah. 77 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 5: Elon's been an American citizen for twenty years. 78 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't it. 79 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 5: How the Democrats all this sudden are the xenophobic ones 80 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 5: when they don't like what someone's doing to their favorite 81 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 5: group of toys, which is all these different federal agencies. Elon, also, 82 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 5: because of the role that he has with SpaceX, is 83 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 5: going to know more about you know, aerodynamics, jet propulsion capabilities, 84 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 5: space technology then basically anybody in the United States government anyway. 85 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 5: I hate to have to break that to anyone, but 86 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 5: if you want to know what's truly cutting edge, you 87 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 5: wouldn't sit down with NASA, you would sit down with Elon. 88 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 5: And I think that Democrats have a really hard even 89 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 5: if they tried to think it through, which they don't 90 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 5: have a very hard time with that, because they like 91 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 5: to believe that, just like in the movie Armagedin, there's 92 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 5: a team of geniuses at NASA that will save us 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 5: from the asteroid hitting, which by the way, is not true. 94 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 5: There's a team that could get a great DEI seminar 95 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 5: going for you, but NASA is not what we were 96 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 5: raised to believe it was from the moon landing days. 97 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 5: So they're going after Elon though, collect and I think 98 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 5: it's because of a couple of things. One, they see 99 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 5: him as really the implementur of the Trump agenda right now, 100 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 5: and I think he also worries them in a longer 101 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 5: term sense because he's the richest man in the world, 102 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 5: running some of the most influential companies in the world, 103 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: and he's going to be around for a long time, 104 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 5: and his influence isn't one election. His influence could be 105 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 5: much more meaningful than that over the long term, you know, 106 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 5: not just the four years that he may be helping Trump. 107 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 5: And that's why they've really focused their fire pardon expression. 108 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 5: They focus their anger more at Elon than at Trump. 109 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 5: For the last couple of months. I think you're one 110 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 5: hundred percent right. 111 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: I would also suggest that partly it's because they have 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: now recognized that their attacks on Trump just don't work. 113 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: And what the data reflected, there's some interesting data from 114 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: the election, Buck that shows that one reason Kamala had 115 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: so much difficulty defining Trump was every time she tried 116 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: to attack him, it actually worked to Trump's favor. Because 117 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: once you try to imprison someone for the rest of 118 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: their life, and once you try to bankrupt them, and 119 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: once you have called them hitler for nearly a decade, 120 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: eventually you get to the point where all of those 121 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: attacks have no more impact. And I suspect that what 122 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: has happened is they looked at Elon and they said, Okay, 123 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't been attacked in the same way. And it's interesting, 124 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: Buck to me, because what they tried to do initially 125 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: was say, oh, Elon's really the president of the United States. 126 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: There was a calculated attempt to try to divide Trump 127 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: and Elon by saying, Trump, who you've tried to tell us, 128 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: is this authoritarian Hitlarian dictator is actually not in command 129 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: of this regime of this new term. It's actually Elon Musk. 130 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: That seems to have fallen flat because that was their 131 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: initial way to come after Elon, and now the new 132 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: attack is, let's try to hit Elon in the pocket book, 133 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: let's try to destroy him. I mean, this tesla stuff 134 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: is crazy, buck. Some of it is just silly, like 135 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: there's a video that went viral of a woman pulling 136 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: down her pants and like rubbing her butt on a tesla. 137 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: But then there's actually scary stuff like the fire bombing. 138 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw this video that 139 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: has started to go viral. I saw our friend Bill 140 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: Malujin shared it this morning of a guy with a 141 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: mask on who forces a woman off the side of 142 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: the road, gets out and tells her that she supports 143 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: Hitler because she's driving a Tesla, and demands that she 144 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: immediately sell it. This is strange stuff. 145 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 5: You know this if you think about what they had 146 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 5: done with Trump, which was the creation of the ultimate 147 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 5: political boogeyman. There are a lot of people who now 148 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 5: that they do this, let's say, you know, they'll talk 149 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 5: about like stochastic terrorism, right, which is if you just 150 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 5: put the message out enough randomly, someone somewhere will act 151 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 5: on it. This is a very this is a Democrat 152 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 5: concept for whenever they want to blame terrorism on Republicans, 153 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 5: it's stochastic terrorism, right, And that's that's a concept that 154 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 5: they've come up with. It's actually from mathematics. It's essentially, 155 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 5: if you try something enough the variability of a vast 156 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 5: with a vast number set, someone's going to do something crazy. 157 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 5: But what you see with Elon, I think is they 158 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 5: have had to transfer that rage mechanism that they have 159 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 5: built up against Trump. Well, what really is the you know, 160 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 5: Trump's only he's doing it. He's president. He's not running 161 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 5: again like they you know, they tried to kill him twice. 162 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: Like it's just he's not going anywhere. He won, and 163 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 5: they have to deal with it now, like they've had 164 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 5: to accept at some level that he is president and 165 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 5: this is the next four years. 166 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: But I think that the. 167 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 5: Emotional need they have the same way those little maniacs 168 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 5: who say they're antifa meaning anti fascist, and they run 169 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 5: around all dressed in black. You remember this, I mean 170 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 5: they up at different protests, but it's really all just 171 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 5: one big act of self congratulation and narcissism for total losers. 172 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 5: The total losers of the left, and there's lots of them. 173 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 5: There's millions of them. Maybe it's only five or ten 174 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 5: percent of the Democrat Party, but Clay, they need somebody 175 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 5: to hate and blame for all their problems because for 176 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 5: a decade they've been trained to do that with Donald Trump, 177 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 5: and it just doesn't hit the same way anymore. Not 178 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 5: only that, I think there's an element of they feel 179 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 5: like they were betrayed because Elon Musk was their hero 180 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 5: in creating an electric vehicle. 181 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and now. 182 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: It's like the bitter ex girlfriend where you start behaving 183 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: in a fundamentally irrational way. Could be the bitter ex 184 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: boyfriend for people out there where it's not only that 185 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: Elon is now allied in some way with Trump, it's 186 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: that they thought he was their great savior of climate change. 187 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: To me, the funniest and most ridiculous aspect of all 188 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: this buck is when you're lighting Tesla's on fire, you're 189 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: actually just destroying the person who has done the most, 190 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: probably to fight climate change, maybe in the entirety of 191 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: the world. 192 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 5: And these people in particular, who are the ones lighting 193 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 5: the teslas on fire. I can assure you the overlap 194 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: with people that are full of rage at Elon, but 195 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 5: also believe the propaganda about climate as an existential threat. 196 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: It's probably close to one hundred percent. Okay, if you're 197 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: that upset about Elon, you also believe climate change is 198 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 5: an existential threat, which means that your willingness or your 199 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 5: need to act out your childish rage against Elon and 200 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 5: the Trump industrial complex is more important to you as 201 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 5: a leftist maniac than saving the planet from the climate 202 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 5: change threat that you believe is going to make us 203 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 5: all go extinct. Gives you a sense of how deranged 204 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 5: these people are. But the Democrats created a cult, and 205 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 5: the problem is you can't always control the cult members. 206 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 5: Like when you tell the cult members that the world 207 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 5: is going to end and you get to the one 208 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 5: hundredth time you've told them that, yeah, a lot of 209 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 5: people are going to realize, Okay, that was insane. But 210 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 5: some of them are like, no, it's on the one 211 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 5: hundred and first day, and that's who we're lighting Tesla's 212 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 5: on fire. They are not giving this battle up at all. 213 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 5: They are still insane and they are deeply enmeshed in 214 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 5: the really the MSNBC New York Times DEI Woke Cult 215 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 5: I mean, it's we should come up with a more 216 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 5: specific name for it, but that's what it is. The 217 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 5: Fauci worshiping Zelensky loving maniacs have all come together. I think, 218 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 5: deep down, Buck, they're actually starting to realize they're the 219 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 5: bad guys. 220 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: And I think I've been I've been thinking of saying 221 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: this for a while. 222 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 5: I told I told, I think that they're worried, Oh 223 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 5: my god, what if we're wrong about everything. 224 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: I think that that does occur to some of. 225 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 5: Them, and I think that's why you're seeing them act 226 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 5: out so vociferously and violently. It's because in the back 227 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 5: of their mind, they're like, wait a minute, we've been 228 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 5: arguing we're the good guys, and we're on the right 229 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 5: side of history and Trump's win of the popular vote. 230 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 5: And even if you look at this is the thing 231 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 5: that's crazy to me, Even if you look at what 232 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 5: they're doing. Fuck, Elon is trying to save taxpayers money 233 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 5: and they're lighting tesselas on fire for it. 234 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 2: I mean, this is what it's. 235 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 5: It would be different if Elon, if Elon were like 236 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 5: the wars are for bombing Gaza, Yes, I would understand. 237 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 5: You know, if Elon was giving press conversations, He's like, well, 238 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 5: a technology is so much better at bombing gaza. 239 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: You know, if he was doing like the good Elon impersonation, 240 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: thank you, thank you.

Correct so 333 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 5: far A plus Trump, A plus Trump all the way 334 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 5: through since election day, A student intelligent analysis from the view. 335 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 5: I haven't said it in a long time, Buck, but 336 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 5: she nailed it. I voted exactly for all of this, 337 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 5: and that's one of the things they've tried to do. 338 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: If you noticed this. 339 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: In addition to trying to destroy Elon, they have come 340 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: out and said, oh, there's a lot of Trump voters 341 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: who regret their votes. 342 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 5: I'm not her. I don't think that there are any 343 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 5: Trump voters who regret their votes. This is this is 344 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 5: the same as some of the attacks on onn Elon Musk, 345 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 5: which just make no when they say things like he's 346 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 5: stupid or he's not competent to do this, Like, guys, 347 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 5: get a better attack line, Like it's getting sad. Actually, yeah, 348 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 5: it's getting sad out there for Democrats. They're not even 349 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 5: saying things that are untrue, but kind of hit. It's 350 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 5: like watching the weakling in the class take swings at 351 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 5: the cool kid and just miss and miss and fall 352 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 5: on his face and you just feel sad for him. 353 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: It when you try to say that Elon Musk is 354 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: not very smart, which is what AOC tried to say. Yes, 355 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: it's just that's a tough that's a tough putt to 356 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: sink buck. That's like you know, your four hundred yards 357 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: from the hole and you're living up a putt and 358 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: you're feeling. No, Elon's a genius. Now, you might not 359 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: agree with him on things, and that's the argument that 360 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: you could make, but again, he's trying to cut government waste, 361 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: something that every Democrat argued for a generation they wanted 362 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: to do. 363 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 5: I also think and this comes in part Look, Trump 364 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 5: started this by being outside of politics, and so all 365 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 5: due credit to him first and foremost for breaking through 366 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 5: this logjam, but Elon has certainly added a layer to 367 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 5: it of we need our most impressive people in this 368 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: country sometimes to actually help the country.

We talked about the 397 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: attacks on Elon and we're going to continue to play 398 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: some of those for you because they are outrageous, outlandish, 399 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: and indefensible. But Buck, you hit on something that I 400 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: think is really important, which is not only are those 401 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: attacks actually without any merit whatsoever, they also are generally 402 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: coming from people who are morons and lack all historic 403 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: knowledge and do not have the ability to make very 404 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: cogent or tangible arguments among those Joy Reid who went 405 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: on I think this was with Don Lemon. Remember when 406 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: the comment about how brilliant Thomas Jefferson was when he 407 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: dined alone one of the great all time quotes. I 408 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: would submit to you that Joy Reid and Don Lemon 409 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: is maybe the dumbest combination of interviewer and interviewe that 410 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: you could have in the political realm. And Joy Reid said, 411 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: I think America is going to go to war with 412 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: Canada and Canada is going to win. 413 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: This is real. Listen, you can't. 414 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 3: Make Canada the fifty first state without going to war 415 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 3: with them. And let me play how that happened, how 416 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: that worked out the last time we tried to go 417 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 3: to war with Canada. They burned the White House to 418 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: the ground in eighteen fourteen and. 419 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 2: Won the war. 420 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 3: Canada beat us in the War of eighteen twelve. They 421 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 3: probably like their chances against us. We're not gonna beat 422 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 3: them in a war because we have never been able 423 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 3: to do that. You'd have to occupy a country that 424 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 3: is equivalent of the size of the United States, in 425 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 3: which the top two thirds of it is uninhabited, frozen 426 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 3: forest land that touches the Arctic. You know how that 427 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 3: worked out when the Nazis tried that with Russia, which 428 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 3: is the equivalent of Canada on that part of the world. 429 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 3: We gonna lose. We don't have enough troops to occupy. 430 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: They are a country of thirty nine million people who 431 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 3: are who have about as many guns per capita as 432 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 3: we do. 433 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 5: It's not possible to be this stupid. She must be kidding, right, 434 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 5: It's not possible that she's this dumb. Actually, I think 435 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 5: I actually be this dumb. I think it is actually 436 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 5: that dumb. I think it's actually that dumb. The fact 437 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 5: that she was paid millions of dollars to explain the 438 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 5: world the people on television at MSNBC tells you all 439 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 5: you need to know about the state of left wing media. 440 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 5: That was the dumbest rant I maybe have ever heard. Actually, 441 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 5: it's actually like the Mona Lisa of dumb. It should 442 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: go hang up in a museum and people should study 443 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 5: it for centuries to come. It is that dumb. 444 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: So several things that stand out here. 445 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: First of all, she manages to have some historical knowledge 446 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: and misapply it all the time. The War of eighteen 447 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: twelve wasn't with Canada, it was with England. Let's start there, 448 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: which owned Canada at the time and so was at 449 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: the time probably the most powerful country in the world, 450 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: because America was still in its infancy, and even though 451 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: we had won the Revolutionary War, we had not really 452 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: established ourselves as the pre eminent power in the world. 453 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: Point one point two. She tries to make a historical 454 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: analogy about the difficulty of conquering a country in a 455 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: time of when the weather when it's super cold, and 456 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: she uses World War two as an example. I think, 457 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: although you could also point to Napoleon, but the problem 458 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: is those were occupied lands. Her argument doesn't make any 459 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: sense because she rightly says Canada almost everyone in Canada 460 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: lives close to the United States border. You wouldn't actually 461 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: have to commit much men or materiel to conquer the 462 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: two thirds of Canada where no one lives, right, Like, 463 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: that's actually a really easy job. Third, she manages to 464 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: treat the fact that they have more guns at thirty 465 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: nine million people without recognizing that they have one tenth 466 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: of the population of the United States and hints a 467 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: fraction of the overall firepower, all while trying to treat 468 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: the idea of an American invasion of Canada as a 469 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: likely proposition. She manages to string together buck so much 470 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: historical inaccuracy while having a sentilla of knowledge such that 471 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: she's actually dumber than if she knew nothing at all, 472 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: Which is really kind of an interesting take, isn't it right? 473 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: Like she would actually be better if she had no 474 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: historic knowledge whatsoever, because she has so misapplied the historical 475 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: analogies that she's trying to apply that they actually render 476 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: her argument worse than if she didn't have the knowledge 477 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: in the first place. 478 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 5: I do worry that we are all and all of 479 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 5: you listening are a little dumber just for having listened 480 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 5: to How dumb that was? I just this is where 481 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 5: they are, though, Buck, they paid her time host MSNBC 482 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 5: until a few minutes ago, primetime host everybody millions of 483 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 5: dollars gotta listen to her. Rachel Maddow said, her favorite colleague. 484 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Buck, this is also important. I think everybody 485 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 5: out there listening you and I. If people heard our 486 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 5: off air conversation, would we would sound almost identical. 487 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 2: Maybe there's a new curse word, pepper day. It is 488 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: the same. 489 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 5: It just has occasional curses unless there are children within earshot. Yes, correct, 490 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 5: And I don't. 491 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: Think anybody would say, like, you've got to hear the 492 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: outrageous opinion that Clay has or Buck has that he's 493 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: actually afraid to say, they don't exist. 494 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: Right. 495 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: The calls that we would have with producers, the meetings 496 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: that we would have with advertisers, are off air conversations, 497 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: by and large. If they all went public, people would say, yeah, 498 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I expect because I listened to 499 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: him for three hours every day. 500 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: Imagine the idiocy. 501 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 5: That they protected Joy Read from actually putting on the air. 502 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 5: This is to be fair, To be fair, I mean, 503 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 5: your your point is well taken, but one of the 504 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 5: differences between TV and radio. 505 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 2: You can hide with TV, you really can. 506 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 5: You You can hide super dumb people and protect them 507 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 5: from themselves. 508 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 2: Because it's all stage managed. 509 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 5: It's it's it's very much a you know, it's a 510 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 5: proper base sp it's a play. You put on makeup 511 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 5: and you look into it. I mean, it is very 512 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 5: different than radio. You cannot hide for three hours a 513 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 5: day on radio, year in and year out. 514 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: People know who you are. 515 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 5: This is one of the reasons why the familiarity that 516 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 5: people who listen to our wonderful audience when they come 517 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 5: up and talk to us. Yeah, they know the name 518 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 5: of They know my wife's name, they know my dog's name, 519 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 5: they know where I grew up, they know what I 520 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 5: what movies are like. I mean, they know more than 521 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 5: like anybody I ever went on a first date with. 522 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 2: By times, you know, one hundred, you know what I mean, 523 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: it's yeah, pretty full. 524 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: They spend it fifteen hours a week with everybody out there, 525 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: and so you can't fake or hide. I think when 526 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: you hear some of these people like Don Lemon is 527 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: a great example, I think you would hear it with 528 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper. 529 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: I think you would hear it with Anderson Cooper. 530 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people that are 531 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: not necessarily that good at what they do. 532 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 2: Now. 533 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: I think Rachel Maddow is actually smart, She's just a 534 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: really kind of committed liar, which you can argue is 535 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: even scarier. But when they lack the protection of a staff, 536 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: and when they lack the protection of a surrounding community 537 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: to kind of protect them from themselves, many of these 538 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: TV people expose themselves. And frankly, Buck, a lot of 539 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: journalists have on social media right when they lack editors, 540 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: when they're outside the framework of their job. Social media 541 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: just shines a light on who you really are, and 542 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: that could be good or bad. But for many people, 543 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: I think in the realm of current events, politics, media, news, television, sports, 544 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 1: who are in the opinion business, you're actually recognizing they 545 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: don't do a lot of homework and they're not actually 546 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: that smart outside of the parameters of the show that 547 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: they have, And I think this is what happens with 548 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: Joy Reid. I also think it's why audiences don't connect 549 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: with them outside of television because to your point, Buck, 550 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: they're not honest and they're not that authentic, and that 551 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: also gets exposed Yeah, I hadn't heard that sound bite 552 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: until we played it live on the radio. So you 553 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: pulled that one off the sheet, and I'm still I'm 554 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: actually in shock. 555 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 2: That was amazing. I sent it in. 556 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 4: It was the. 557 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 5: Craziest most like overconfident but ignorant historical rent I've ever heard. 558 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 2: It was amazing what I'm saying. 559 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: The little bit of historical knowledge that she had actually 560 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: managed to completely invalidate her argument, such that she would 561 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: have been far better off to have known nothing about 562 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: the history that she was trying to cite. 563 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: She misapplied all of it. And they but the initial 564 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: premise too. 565 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 5: We're obviously not going to war with correct correct, so 566 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: dumb to even to even entertain this. No one in 567 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 5: the US military would would would follow an order to 568 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 5: start bombing Ottawa. 569 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 2: Okay, we love made you think we're gonna take windsor 570 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: from Detroit. 571 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 5: It's not gonna happen. You know, I know that people 572 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 5: think all but they'll do, you know everything Trump says, 573 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 5: it will just happen. No, and Trump's not gonna say it. 574 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 5: And you know the whole thing is. 575 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: We know Pete except pretty well, well, you know Sean 576 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: Parnell pretty well, they're not invading Canada. 577 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry. 578 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 5: Pete is not pouring over plans to drop nukes on 579 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 5: Saskatchewan right now. I promise you we know Pete very 580 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 5: well for a long time. 581 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: That is not happening. 582 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: I also think you've talked about this before, not taking 583 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: Trump literally. He finds something that he thinks is fun funny, 584 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: justin Trudeau as the governor of Canada, and he exploits 585 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: it and manipulates the media to cover it such that 586 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: it turns into an actual conversation point. And what it 587 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: does is disrupt the overall direction and he ends up 588 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: somewhere nowhere near where he's arguing, and it's a win. 589 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: But it's such a clear negotiation tactic. I don't understand how, 590 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: a decade after Trump has been in politics, every single 591 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: thing to a large extent, is still taken so literally 592 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: by so many people who cover politics. Well, I think 593 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: that's why he in party keeps doing it, because he 594 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 1: enjoys getting a rise out of them, and it also 595 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: off balances them. 596 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: Like I know this from you know, I play a. 597 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 5: Fair amount of of like recreational you know, country club tennis. 598 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 5: I don't belong to a country club, but you know 599 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 5: that's what people will call it. And you know there's 600 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 5: like there's like head games you can do with people, 601 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 5: and some people get really into this stuff. 602 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: You know, you you leave your bag. 603 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 5: On one side of the court so that it's like 604 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 5: you've already picked your side, even though you know there's 605 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 5: like little things. Trump loves that stuff. When it comes 606 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 5: to the media, man, he loves when the second they 607 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 5: say you can't say it kind of reminds me of 608 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 5: somebody else, I know, the second they say, mister Clay Travis, 609 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 5: you can't say that, He's like, oh yeah, and he 610 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 5: just is gonna pound that point day in and day 611 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 5: out until they beg for mercy. Yes, I definitely enjoy 612 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 5: doing things that people say I can't do. 613 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. 614 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: And the number one way, the number one way to 615 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: end if you dislike something that I'm doing is not 616 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: to complain about it. Which, yeah, there's probably all sorts 617 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: of things going on there.

Thank you so much, Matthew, super nice. 660 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 5: Well, officially, because somebody will be out there with a 661 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 5: calendar like well, actually it's been three years and nine months, 662 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 5: we will officially they announced this in May of twenty one, 663 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 5: so in June of twenty one we started, so officially 664 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 5: it will be June, so we have a little bit 665 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 5: of way to go till we'll officially be four years. 666 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 5: But yeah, look, it's been a lot of fun. And 667 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 5: I will say the older I get buck, a year 668 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 5: goes by so fast. Four years like college, four years 669 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 5: in college seemed like it lasted forever. Four years in 670 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 5: high school seemed like it lasted forever. I can't believe 671 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 5: we've been going four years basically here. It feels like 672 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 5: it's passed in the snap of the fingers. Now Rush 673 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 5: did thirty three years, so compared to that period of time, 674 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 5: like four years is still very very fast and very inconsequential. 675 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 5: But we do really value every single day the fact 676 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 5: that we get to talk to you guys. It's a privilege. 677 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 5: And like we said, going to five hundred and fifty five, 678 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 5: I think it is new affiliate stations. We've hadded almost 679 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 5: two hundred in those four years since we started. And 680 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 5: I like to think and do hope that Rush would 681 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 5: be very proud of the work we've done, and I 682 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 5: know he would have been ecstatic for what happened on 683 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 5: November fifth, to be able to come on the day 684 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 5: after the election and be able to talk about Trump's 685 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 5: big win. Absolutely, we got a VIP email in from Barbara. 686 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 5: My Facebook friends. It's friends in quotes keep posting that 687 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 5: Pete Hegseth has removed the names of all notable African 688 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 5: Americans buried at Arlington. Only white men remain on the list. 689 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 5: The cult eats this up and runs with it. Yes, Barbara, 690 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 5: just know that Pete. It's an obvious lie. Pete has 691 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 5: come out and said it as a lie. It is 692 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 5: just pure propaganda, and it's just pure you know, I 693 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 5: don't know what else to say. I mean, it's totally made up. 694 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 5: It's not true at all. It would never happen. Pete 695 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 5: would never do that. It's that's not Pete Hegseth. And 696 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 5: the whole thing is just bizarre. But Clay, I do 697 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 5: think and one of the reason why it's worth noting this, 698 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 5: You're gonna see more of this. You're gonna see more 699 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 5: of just flood the zone with the craziest lies, whether 700 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 5: it's the Elon is about to get the China war plans, 701 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 5: or heg set is removing the names of all like 702 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 5: notable black military figures, Like they're just going to say things. 703 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 5: They've always been doing this, but they're going to do 704 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 5: it even more because they don't even have the broad 705 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 5: narrative of you know, Trump is going to go to 706 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 5: prison and all that stuff that's all gone away, so 707 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 5: they have to fill the void in their lives somehow. 708 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: I might mention maybe later in the show this Jackie 709 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: Robinson's story, because I do think it fills in a 710 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: little bit. 711 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 2: They pulled some DEI. 712 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 5: Website pages for like a day, and some of them 713 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 5: should not have been pulled, and they went back and 714 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 5: they said, hey, we got to put this stuff back up, 715 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 5: including one about Jackie Robinson, the first black baseball player. 716 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 5: Trump has said he wants a statue of Jackie Robinson 717 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 5: in his statue Garden of American Heroes. So he is 718 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 5: a fan, a big sports fan in general. But some 719 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 5: of these stories can have a scintilla of truth, but 720 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 5: there's errors, right, I mean, no one is going to 721 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 5: be flawless in terms of the way that they apply policy, 722 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 5: and when errors are made, they. 723 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 2: Go back and they try to fix it. So it 724 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 2: was like a twenty four. 725 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 5: Hour story that the sports media tried to turn into 726 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,479 Speaker 5: a huge story, and you've got to be honest about 727 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 5: what actually happened. Also, the way you present stories matters 728 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 5: a whole heck of a lot, right. You know, if 729 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 5: I threw a bucket of sand on someone's front seat 730 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 5: of their car, that could be true, and you could say, 731 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 5: why would you do such a thing? 732 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 2: Right, look what they're doing with Tesla's But. 733 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 5: If the front seat of the car is on fire, yeah, 734 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 5: and I'm trying to help put out the fire, it 735 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 5: makes a lot of sense. Right, So you can take 736 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 5: a true fact and run with it in a way 737 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 5: that is meant to give a very different sense of 738 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 5: what's really going on. 739 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: And also you're picking that story when it's not even 740 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: one of the hundred most important stories in any given day, 741 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: which is what we talk about a lot. The real 742 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: power in media is what you choose to cover, because 743 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: you can find almost anything on any given day to 744 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: focus on. We'll come back, we'll talk about the important 745 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: Department of Education gone and some real attacks that are 746 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: nasty on elone.
