17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,920

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: plans now since you're going to be speaking for the

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: most important military force in the history of the planet.

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, let me tell you just a

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: little quick personal story. You know, after nine to eleven,

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: I was really angry. I don't come from a long

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: line of military generals in my family or non commission

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: officers in my family. The towers went down on nine

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: to eleven, and I just remember getting I was so

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: afraid and I was so angry all at the same time,

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, I got to do something

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: about this. And so two days after nine to eleven,

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: went down to the recruiter, said I wanted to join

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: the Infantry, not just that. Wanted to go to airborne

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: schools so the Army could teach me how to jump

54
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: out of perfectly get airplanes.

55
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: Wanted to go to ranger school.

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: Because it was the best leadership school that the Army

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: had to offer, and I wanted to be the best

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: leader that I could for my troops. And then a

59
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: few years later I found myself boots on the ground

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 2: in Afghanistan in two thousand.

61
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: And six with the greatest group.

62
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: Of men, and back then it was just men in

63
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: the infantry, greatest group of men that you could possibly imagine,

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: who taught, coached and mentored me every step of the

65
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: way on what it means to be a servant. Leader

66
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: of the Outlaw Platoon was our name and you know,

67
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: I always understood academically that yes, we are an amazing

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: military force, the most the best military fighting force on

69
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: the face of the planet, but also a benevolent force

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: as well. It does an extraordinary amount of good all

71
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: across the world. But I didn't really fully grasp it

72
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: until I was fighting and bleeding with those men on

73
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: the battlefield and learning about the legacies and history of

74
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: these units. And so one of the things that I've

75
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: always regretted is that I didn't understand going in on

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: the front end of my service that we are truly

77
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: standing on the shoulders of giants from every warrior generation.

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we have what we have here in this

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: country because of them, men and women who are willing

80
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: to put on the uniform and go to dark places

81
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: and our freedom. And now I have the amazing and

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: awesome and enormous responsibility of going in on the front

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: end recognizing all of that. So, to directly answer your question,

84
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: part of that is to be represent warriors past, but

85
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: everyone that wears the uniform today and everyone that will

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: wear the uniform in the future, they need to know

87
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: that the sole purpose and our sole focus and our

88
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: sole mission at the Pentagon and Department at Defense is

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: going to be readiness and lethality. And that's what kids

90
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: that are wondering whether or not they're going to join

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: the military, that's what they want.

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: Are they going to get the best toughest training in

93
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: the world.

94
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: Are they going to be able to prove themselves to

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: both themselves and their peers that they can handle the

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: best training in the world, take it and serve something

97
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: greater than themselves. And we're going to deliver on that mission.

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: But I mean, we've already exceeded recruiting goals in the

99
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: month of December just based on President Trump's election. But

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: by the end of this year, I guarantee you we

101
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: are not going to be in the grips of this

102
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: great recruiting crisis that we're in night, because you're gonna

103
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: see a drastic shift evolving the Force from you know,

104
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: a focus on social experimentation and insane stuff like that, diversity,

105
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: equity inclusion, which is which has been a disaster for

106
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: a force, to readiness, a mission focus, and lethality, which

107
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: is where it belongs.

108
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Sean Buck and I every day just feel like this

109
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. I know you're a sports guy, it's like Trump.

110
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: It's like Trump has twenty home runs in April. I

111
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: mean every day. If you're a golfer, it's like, you know,

112
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: sometimes you stand in the tea box and you hit

113
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: a great tea shot and you get to think, like, hey,

114
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe I'm going to burn you this whole. It doesn't

115
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: happen to me a lot. But when I do golf

116
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: and I hit a good tea shot, like I feel

117
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: like every time every day we wake up, Trump is

118
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: just striping one right down the center of the free

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: freeway a fair way, And I don't remember ever feeling

120
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: like this before. How excited are you to be a

121
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: part of the administration? But do you feel that same way?

122
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Like man like? Unlike so many pop politicians, he told

123
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: us exactly what he was going to do and then

124
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: and this is what it shouldn't feel crazy, But then

125
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: he got into office and he just did it. It's

126
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: so transactional delivery on a level Forrankley that I don't

127
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: ever remember a foreign politics. What's it feel like to

128
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: be joining up? And do you feel the same way?

129
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: Sixteen seventeen days in.

130
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 4: Yes, Actually I.

131
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: Turned to my wife, Commander Melanie, as she's known on

132
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: the podcast, and I said, you know, President Trump, this

133
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: guy is the best president certainly of my lifetime, bar none.

134
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: He said exactly what he was gonna do on the campaign, trill.

135
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: And by the way, he never once bent to group

136
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: think on the side of the Republicans or Democrats or

137
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: the conventional wisdom of anything. Even during the darkest, most

138
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: difficult times, I never saw that man waiver one single

139
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: time in what he believed, whether it was regarding election integrity,

140
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: his vision on American foreign policy, his vision on the

141
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: southern border. From the moment he came down the escalator,

142
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: it's always been exactly the same. And despite withering resistance

143
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: on all sides, Democrat, Republicans, the media, I've never experienced

144
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: anything in my life. Having run for in two election

145
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: cycles in twenty twenty and then in twenty twenty two, which,

146
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: by the way, we're pretty crazy election cycles, both of

147
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: those pale in comparison to what twenty twenty four was like.

148
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: Two assassination attempts. The mugshot that feels like it was

149
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: ten years ago. Everyone discounted this guy. Everyone thought it

150
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: was not possible. At some point or another, people were like,

151
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: how is this guy going to handle this, but none

152
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: of that. He defied all of the odds, and now

153
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: he's in office and he's accomplished more in eighteen days

154
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: than Biden did in four years. And I think the

155
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: vast majority of Americans, including Democrats, by the way, which

156
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: they are totally weak and leaderless, right now, I think

157
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: they're finally seeing holy smokes, we America did not have

158
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: a president for four years. We basically had a bunch

159
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: of twenty something thirty something staffers behind the curtain, you know,

160
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: putting executive orders in front of a president who wasn't

161
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: there cognitively. And by the way, the cats out of

162
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: the bag with that. Everybody knows it. This is what

163
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: it's like to have an American president, you know, overcome

164
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: all odds seriously and do the things that he promised

165
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: on behalf of the American people. And by the way,

166
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: I bet you the Democrats and the media are wishing

167
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: that he won, that they didn't stand in the way

168
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: of him winning in twenty twenty because this president.

169
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: Now, I tweeted that earlier today, Sean, you know this,

170
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: everybody listening. I think he's going to do more in

171
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: six months than he would have in four years if

172
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: he had been president twenty points.

173
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: It's like the Democrats decided that Trump had to have

174
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: his Rocky in Siberia training montage for four years under Biden,

175
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: and you know he was ready for the big fight

176
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: when it came up. And we're seeing that right now.

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: Speaking of Sean Parnell soon to be installed as the

178
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: Pentagon spokesman, and so those of you who have been

179
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: listening to Sean on the podcast gonna put a little

180
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 3: little hold on that while he goes and serves his

181
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: country at a senior level at the Pentagon, and we're

182
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: very very happy for him, very proud of him for

183
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: doing so. John, just give me a sense most important

184
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: things that could be fixed with the military. You know,

185
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: you've got Secretary of heg sat who we all have

186
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: very high opinion of, have known you and I have

187
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: known Pete for fifteen years now, are going on fifteen years,

188
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 3: and you're gonna be able to actually do things right.

189
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: It's not just going to be the kind of business

190
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: as usual approach to what our war fighters need. What

191
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: are some of the top of the agenda items. Now

192
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: that you're going to a level of the Pentagon where

193
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: you know you're gonna be responsible for communicating it. Pete's

194
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: going to be responsible for fixing it.

195
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you.

196
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: I think Agenda Item one, you know, because ultimately I

197
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: work for Secretary heg Sat, the President of the United

198
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: States and the American people is bring a level of

199
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: radical transparency to the Department of Defense and talking about

200
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: disclosing classified material and public setting. No, I don't mean that,

201
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: but the American people have lost an enormous amount of

202
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: faith in our institutions, especially once fnerated institutions like the

203
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: Department of Defense. Part of my job is going to

204
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: be to communicate honestly, in transparency and transparently with the

205
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: American people, the American media, and Congress to earn back

206
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: that trust. The second part of it is DEI has

207
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: got to go. Anyone that you hear says, oh, diversities

208
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: are strength, Well, yeah, diversity is a strength. It's nice

209
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: having different perspectives around the table. But what makes the

210
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: American military the most lethal fighting force in the face

211
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: of the planet is at one point during basic training,

212
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: we all put aside our differences and say, you know,

213
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: no hyphenated Americans here, We're all just Americans fighting behind

214
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: the same mission that is ultimately the differentiating factor on

215
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: the battlefield.

216
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: That makes us so lethal.

217
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 2: We've got to evolve our army from you know, insulated

218
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: brigade combat teams that were largely focused on you know,

219
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: asymmetric threat of you know, Islamic extreme Islamic dreamism and

220
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: global terror, which by the way, still exists. Still have

221
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: to be able to combat that, but we've got to

222
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: evolve our force to be able to face more conventional

223
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: threats like Russia and China. We've got to rapidly adapt

224
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: to accommodate for the threat of AI integrated drones things

225
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: like that. We got to start shipbuilding in our navy.

226
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: You know, there's so many things that have to be

227
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: done and have to be done quickly to get our

228
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: military back on course to We don't want to fight

229
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: wars okay at all. But the best way to not

230
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: fight wars is to deter them, right And so Teddy

231
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: Roosevelt said, you know, speaks softly and carry a big stick.

232
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: Under President Trump and speak loudly and carry a big stick.

233
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: Turns out that works pretty good as well. So we're

234
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: going to We're going to deter conflicts and deter global wars,

235
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: keep America's sons and daughters out of the fight by

236
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: building the biggest, strongest military on the face of the

237
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: planet to keep the peace.

238
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: Sean, we are super excited for you. It's the Super Bowl,

239
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: as you well know, I want to get your Super

240
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: Bowl pick. But you are a monster Pittsburgh Steeler fan.

241
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: The biggest question for Steeler Nation is what do you

242
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: do at quarterback going forward. I don't know.

243
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 4: People think that Justin Fields is gonna be the guy. Uh.

244
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna be the case. The Pittsburgh

245
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers have a real problem. I think they really

246
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: have an ownership problem. You know, I I really believe that.

247
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure Mike Tomlin is a great guy, but I

248
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: think the organization just needs overhaul.

249
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

250
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: We don't win in the playoffs anymore. That's a real problem.

251
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: Just looking at the team as a whole and saying like, well, hey,

252
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: we're above average on all of these stats. I'm sorry.

253
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: In the city of Pittsburgh, that's not good enough. We're

254
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: about winning championships in that in this city, and so

255
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: I think the organization as a whole just needs a

256
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: complete mine mindset shift to be a championship caliber team. Again,

257
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: it's not just about winning or having winning season, which

258
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: by the way, is the most meaningless stat in the

259
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: history of NFL football. Who cares if you had a

260
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: winning season if you're not actually winning playoff games and championships.

261
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: But as far as the Super Bowl, I'm sad to say,

262
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: as a monster NFL football fan, I'm gonna watch it,

263
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: but the Chiefs and the Eagles. I'm from Pennsylvania, but

264
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: I will never be one of those political types that

265
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: wears half Steelers and half Eagles. I can't die that.

266
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 4: I load the Eagles. I load the Chiefs.

267
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to see another second of Travis Kelcey

268
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: and Taylor Swift on the screen. I just kind of

269
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: load the idea of watching the Super Bowl this year.

270
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: My friend, well, Buck Bold, well do you yeah? It

271
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: is very bold.

272
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: I do love It does drive me crazy when people

273
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: try a lot of politicians try to pretend that they

274
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: are sports fans, and then they're like, I love the

275
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: Steelers and I love the Eagle. That's impossible. If you're

276
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania, you're like one or the other, and everybody

277
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: who's a sports fan is like, yeah, you're full of it. Now,

278
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: you might root for another team like sometimes there's probably

279
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: some guys that are Cowboy fans, god forbid who live

280
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. But at least you can't claim to root

281
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: for both of them. You can't be from Alabama. Katie Britt,

282
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, is not gonna say she's a Bama girl.

283
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: He's not gonna say, oh, I also love Auburn. Meanwhile, Tubberville,

284
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: he's an Auburn guy. He's not like I love Alabama.

285
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: People respect. If you just own what you actually believe

286
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: in all facets, including sports.

287
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: It has to be that way. And by the way,

288
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 4: my wife is the same way.

289
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: She's a huge New England Patriots fan, actually a real

290
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: Tom Brady fan, but also a Baltimore Ravens fan. So

291
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: let me just tell you we have real interesting NFL

292
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: football Sundays in Fort Parnell. When you're cheering for the

293
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: Ravens and everyone in my family are big Steelers fans.

294
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes there could be a little conflict there, you know.

295
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: We By the way, Buck and I are super interested.

296
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't Buck may have been I've never been to

297
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: the Pentagon before. We're gonna come.

298
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: Have you ever had it either, which is crazy given

299
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: I worked at the CIA, but I went to all

300
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: the other big buildings, never got inside the Pentagon. I

301
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: only did the Intel agencies. We're gonna come visit you

302
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: when you were up working at some point in DC.

303
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: We look forward to it, and again congratulate and we

304
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: are super proud of you. Had to know the audiences

305
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: as well.

306
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: Well.

307
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: You all are welcome anytime in the Pentagon press room

308
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: or if you want to broadcast from the Pentagon, we

309
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: will figure out a way to make that. Oh that

310
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: would actually be super cool. But thank you for the

311
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: opportunity both of you. Again, it was just an honor

312
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,560

Speaker 4: Thanks guys.

320
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: Look Hillsdale College. I challenged my son last night on

321
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: the act. Did not end up doing it, Buck because

322
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: it turned out he had another test that he had

323
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: to study. Lucky for him, he didn't have time to

324
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: go head to head with me on the act. He

325
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: is taking it Saturday. He is printing off an act

326
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: as part of my Super Bowl prep. I'm taking the

327
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: sat on the Sorry the act on Sunday. Many of

328
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: you probably took tests back in the day. Guess what,

329
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: they're not a lot of fun and a lot of

330
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: times it's stressful to not know what grade you're gonna

Speaker 1: get to have to prepare for it. Wouldn't it be

344
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: could on this with Clay and Buck podcast.

345
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 3: Welcome back into Clay En Buck all Right, ESPN has

346
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: stepped in it in a big way and Clay is

347
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: going to lay it out first year. In a second ESPN,

348
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: the Sports network apparently confused about what a man is,

349
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: which is quite strange. But as I was mentioning before,

350
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: Elon doing his super genius thing with his team of

351
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: super geniuses around him, going into the payment system of

352
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: the federal government now looking into Medicare and Medicare caid fraud.

353
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: There's this tweet from someone named Indian Bronson, I don't

354
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: know that's the name of the Twitter handle who says

355
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: what's happening in America is roughly equivalent to the yearbook

356
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: committee and theater kids getting rocked by a football team

357
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: and chess club. Alliance's great and Elon shared this, I

358
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: think that actually really nails it. It's like, it's like

359
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: the geniuses in the jocks are like, we don't want

360
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 3: the you know, student council presidents ruining our lives anymore.

361
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: No doubt, it's faby lessly well said. We come back,

362
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: I'll dive into the craziness that ESPN has embraced. You're

363
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: not gonna believe what they just said on Twitter. In

364
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: the meantime, ceasefire between Israeli Defense forces MS has brought

365
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: an easy peace to Israelis. People are cautiously taking it

366
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: a day at a time. You just heard everything that

367
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: Trump said yesterday and his news conference, first state visit

368
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: from Prime Minister b Yett, and Yahoo and the attempt

369
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: to figure out how to bring greater peace to the

370
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Middle East. We're happy on this show to have partnered

371
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They provide food, shelter,

372
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: safety to Jews in Israel and around the world, including

373
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: remaining Holocaust survivors. Your donation will help provide food, water, medicine,

374
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: other basic necessities to Jewish communities, and you can help

375
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: to ensure that they are taken care of around the world.

376
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,880

378
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: in Klay Travis buck Sexton show. All right, Caroline Levitt

379
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: at the podium right now doing her White House press briefing.

380
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: She is going to join us next hour, as you

381
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: just heard, by the way, from Sean Parnell, who will

382
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: be doing a lot of the press briefings for the Pentagon,

383
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: and Buck, that sounds really cool. Neither you nor I

384
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: have ever been inside the Pentagon, and now I guess

385
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to take the radio show and do

386
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: it live from the Pentagon, which is pretty awesome. I think.

387
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people out there will enjoy that. Absolutely.

388
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: I think there's a whole bunch of fun, exciting things

389
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: that the Clay and Buck road Show in DC is

390
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 3: going to be doing. Because our friends run the government,

391
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: which is nice. I think there's a good chance we'll

392
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: be at the Pentagon. I think there's a good chance

393
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: we'll be at the White House, kind of a cool

394
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: place to do the show. So from the White House,

395
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: Caroline Levitt will be joining us in the next hour. Buck,

396
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: I want to hit you with this because at three

397
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: o'clock the Eastern, so about an hour and a half

398
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: from now, it is National Women in Sports Day, celebration

399
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: of women and women's athletes. All of these events taking place,

400
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 3: and in the event that you have not heard, Trump

401
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: is going to be signing an executive order that officially

402
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 3: mandates men cannot compete in women's sports. Now, I think

403
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: this is a no brainer. It's not particularly political to me.

404
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: New York Times study sixty four percent of Democrats think

405
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: men shouldn't be able to compete in women's sports. I

406
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: give a lot of credit to Riley Gaines, who swim

407
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 3: against a man wearing a women's bathing suit in the

408
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: NCAA Championships in Atlanta, Georgia, and it was so absurd

409
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 3: and so ridiculous that many people of good conscience, of

410
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: all different persuasions said, yet, this is too much, and

411
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 3: Democrats overwhelmingly have decided. And again, I can't believe this

412
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: is national Democrats not rep presentative of their party at all,

413
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: because sixty four percent of Democrats don't agree with this,

414
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 3: like ninety four percent of Republicans. Seventy nine percent overall

415
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: of Americans say men shouldn't be able to compete in

416
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: women's sports. I can't believe this has ever become a

417
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: political issue, Buck, but I want to share with you

418
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 3: how this is already.

419
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: Being covered in the media. ESPN is the biggest sports

420
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: company probably in the world, and Buck, they put out

421
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: this tweet. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order

422
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: Wednesday designed to this is a direct quote. This is

423
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: ESPN prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth

424
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: from participating in women or girls' sporting events. Let me repeat.

425
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: They didn't say men, which is what he's doing. They

426
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: describe these people as biologically assigned mail at birth. Also,

427
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: there's a company called Front Office Sports. I want you

428
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: guys to understand how crazy this is. This is what

429
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: your kids or grandkids, the kind of propaganda they're being

430
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: exposed to if they're just going to an ESPN sports account.

431
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: A company called Front Office Sports, which ostensibly covers sports business,

432
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: put out a tweet. Trump is set to sign an

433
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: executive order aimed at banning transgender athletes from competing in

434
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: women's sports and schools. This is the next sentence. The

435
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: executive order is part of a campaign Trump and Republicans

436
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: have mounted to strip the rights of transgender people in

437
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: multiple areas. Buck this is how sports is covering men

438
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: not being allowed to play women's sports. I mean, this

439
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: is pretty staggering. Still, I think it's important for people

440
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: to understand what's going on.

441
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: I'm wondering about this, Clay, Okay, so you can you

442
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: can bring particular insight into this. Elon was not just

443
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: important for the skill set and everything that he particularly

444
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: brings to the MAGA movement. But also when he came

445
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: out and said I'm red pilled, it was, you know, now,

446
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, a lot of other people and

447
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 3: not just the ones that are known, but other people

448
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: in Silicon Valley were able to breathe a lot more freely, like, well,

449
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if the richest guy in the world and

450
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: the most impressive entrepreneur on the planet is going for Trump,

451
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 3: you know, maybe it's okay.

452
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: You know, it just changed.

453
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 3: Who has that in sports right now? Who is the

454
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: domino either a person, you know, an entity, a channel

455
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: where it would be. Is there such a thing? I mean,

456
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: is it ESPN? Because to me, I look at the

457
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: what you just said, assigned mail at birth for e

458
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 3: N is crazy town. This is crazy town. This whole

459
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 3: verbiage of a signed mail at birth is something that

460
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: delusional people say.

461
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think what you hit on is important

462
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: here because yes, Elon gave cover to some people in

463
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: corporate America that otherwise might not have supported Trump, but

464
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: the election still roughly fifty to fifty. What is so

465
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: I think particularly pernicious about what ESPN is doing is

466
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: Buck this is an eighty twenty nationwide issue, but it's

467
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: ninety ten probably for sports fans. And so the vast

468
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: majority of sports fans are opposed to ESPN, which makes

469
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: what they're doing, I think, particularly toxic in nature.

470
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: So now let's drill into this. So it sounds like

471
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: there's not a domino that could be pushed on other

472
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: than that.

473
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I mean, look, I think if

474
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes came out tomorrow and Tom Brady came out

475
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow and they all said it was ridiculous, I think

476
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: they would actually want at You.

477
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: Think a really big name, one of the biggest names

478
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: in sports, comes out and says, guys, we do need

479
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: to respect you know, women's athletics being for women that

480
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 3: that could have a I don't.

481
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: Think they would cover it. Because Buck, this is what's

482
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: so crazy, and you learned this, I think, but I

483
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: saw it, and it's what red pilled me. I didn't

484
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: get red pilled coming from you know, like economic policy.

485
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: I just got it from sports being tried to they

486
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: tried to take over sports. Let me hit you with this,

487
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean ESPN. Last year, Buck named Leah Thomas one

488
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: of their top women's Athletes of the Year on television.

489
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Who is this coming from? It's great? Is this?

490
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: Is this a cram down sort of industry speak for

491
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: when like the bosses make something happen against the will

492
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: of you know, people that are supposed to be deciding.

493
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Is this a cram down from Disney ownership?

494
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: Is it is this like Blackrock and the financier side

495
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: that owns a lot of stock in some of these

496
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: like because it's so insane, because to your point, it's

497
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 3: not for the audience. And I don't care what Lebron

498
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: James would say publicly about this or what you know.

499
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking of fame. He's got a daughter.

500
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: There's no way Lebron James wants a dude competing against

501
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: his dog. But that's what I was gonna say.

502
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: I do not believe, even if you read like one

503
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 3: of those hostage statements of like, I believe that, you know,

504
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: people should be able to choose their gender. I don't

505
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: believe he believes that. I don't believe any major athlete

506
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 3: actually on the you know, basketball, football side of things,

507
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 3: believes this.

508
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: So where is it coming from? How does this delusion persist?

509
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: This is one of the things that I'm thinking about

510
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: for a new book this idea. I think what's happened

511
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: and I think it's so important because I think it's

512
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: instructive to what Trump is fighting in a larger universe.

513
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: I think you have guys in charge at ESPN. Disney

514
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: owns ESPN first of all, so Disney has just totally

515
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: crapped a bed for the last decade in terms of

516
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: doing what it used to do in the eighties and

517
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: nineties and early two thousands, which is just trying to

518
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: make movies that kids and parents can enjoy together, which

519
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: is a great goal, and like have an amusement park

520
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: where everybody can go and safely ride rides and like

521
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: celebrate anate American goodness. Like that's the Disney that I

522
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: grew up with that I liked. I think what's happened

523
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: is Bob Iger is a CEO, Buck Jimmy Petaro is

524
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: the president of ESPN. I think these are both white guys.

525
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: I think they are terrified of a left wing, powerful

526
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: cabal of talent, that's people who go on air that

527
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: are actually a minority of ESPN that have taken control

528
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: of the culture of the network, and they're afraid of

529
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: being called racist and sexist and misogynist if they put

530
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: pushback against it. So you think the gender identity Bolsheviks, yes,

531
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: are holding the rest of the sports.

532
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: Media hostage in essence to this crazy idea.

533
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: I think I just have to wonder what breaks the grip.

534
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 3: I think the whole anti racism woke you mentioned yesterday

535
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: end racism in the end zone, right, that doesn't, but

536
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: they're still clinging to this gender thing, which is the

537
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: craziest of idea.

538
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: And he goes to the very essence of competition.

539
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: Right.

540
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: And then a good analogy here is you remember when

541
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: the guy in it turned out in the Little League

542
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: World Series was like fourteen years old. I think he

543
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: was from Brooklyn, and he was dominating. Because there's a

544
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: big difference. My kids just played. One of my sons

545
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: just played up at Cooperstown for a Little league tournament. There.

546
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: You have to share the actual birth certificate because, as

547
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: anybody who coaches little league knows, the first kid to

548
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: get a mustache has a big competitive advantage in boy sports.

549
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: And so the difference between a twelve and a fourteen

550
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: year old boy is often not you know, two years

551
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: of age chronological difference. It's fourteen year old boy starts

552
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: to have a ton of testosterone and start to be

553
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: a young man. A twelve year old is still a

554
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: boy oftentimes, So this fourteen year old boy who's turning

555
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: into a man who's got puberty pitches dominates. Everybody finds

556
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: out that he actually was fourteen. Everybody in sports is outraged.

557
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: It's a huge story. It's everywhere. It's why you have

558
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: to take a physical copy of your birth certificate when

559
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: your kid competes in these tournaments now, because age makes

560
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: such a huge impact. Everybody was out there, and if

561
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: there were a similar outrage there, there should be similar

562
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: outrage here. My wife just texted me Buck, she has

563
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: an answer to your question, and I think it's a

564
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: good one. She said, if Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift

565
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: both just came out in conjunction and said men shouldn't

566
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: be a they won't do it. But if they both

567
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: just came out in conjunction and said this is ridiculous,

568
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: Trump's right men shouldn't compete in women's sports. We agree

569
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: with him, not on everything, but he's one hundred percent

570
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: right here. I think it would to a large extent

571
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: her argument. I think that's probably a good duo because

572
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: they hit different aspects. They won't say it. In fact,

573
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, I would want that.

574
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 3: That's almost like Kamala endorsing Trump before the election level though, right,

575
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: I mean that's the great I mean they're deep on

576
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 3: the left. Like I just meant, who so, yeah, so

577
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: that would do it? That switch would that would happen

578
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: or the dominoes would fall. Then I was wondering the

579
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: more along lines of who could realistically be pressured to

580
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: finally you know what I'm saying, like you actually could

581
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 3: switch over.

582
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this story too. It hasn't come

583
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: out yet, but I did Sage Steele's podcast and by

584
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: the way, tying it in with Caroline Levitt. Sage Steele

585
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: today is in the White House Press briefing asking questions

586
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: former ESPN anchor. When you remember when Jamel Hill they

587
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: had a huge controversy in the first Trump term. She

588
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: called Trump a white supremacist, and it was like, oh

589
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: my goodness, like, what in the world's going on here?

590
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: ESPN didn't suspend her. Sage Steele went and met with

591
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: John Skipper, who ran ESPN at the time, and they

592
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: were talking about it. And he asked Sage what what

593
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: she thought, and she said, you know, she gave her answer,

594
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: but she said the thing that really stood out to

595
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: her was John ski. Pipper said, well, here's the challenge.

596
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: She's right. Trump is a white supremacist. So the guy

597
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: running ESPN in the first Trump term agreed with Jamel

598
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: Hill that the president of the United States was a

599
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: white supremacist. So when that is happening, there is no discipline.

600
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: So, I mean, I can see I agree that Travis Kelcey, yes, obviously,

601
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: but I don't think anyone's going to be able to

602
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: pressure them to Actually the head of ESPN being a

603
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: communist has had an enormous influence on the entire sports

604
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 3: I mean, because I again, I don't know, I intend.

605
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that was crazy when she said, he told

606
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: me she's right. Here's why I'm not going to suspend her.

607
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: Because Donald Trump is a white supremacist in my opinion.

608
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: So what I see here is in a a CNN

609
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 3: doesn't have as much control over the news landscape and

610
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 3: hasn't for a long time, as ESPN clearly does over

611
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: the general sports landscape. But it sounds like ESPN has

612
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: been zuckered if you will, like Jeff Zucker, who came

613
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: in and because of his own personal hatreds and his

614
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: own personal beliefs, destroyed that network and I don't think

615
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 3: it's ever going to recover. ESPN has gone through a

616
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: Zucker like scenario with some of the leadership there totally.

617
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: And I think the challenge is they really just like,

618
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: if you told me, how do you fix it? I

619
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: could fire ten people overnight, be like, hey, we're a

620
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: sports network, We're done with this fake bs. Fire ten people.

621
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: I think it would end overnight. Yeah, interesting, and it'd

622
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: be good for the brain. I cannot believe they're doing

623
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: the mail assigned at birthday, you know. I mean, that's

624
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: crazy account from their official ESPN account. If you're just

625
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: scrolling through, like hey, what's the latest news on the

626
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl coming up? You're hearing that Trump is the

627
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: men assigned that Burt. I mean, it's crazy.

628
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: I think, you know, it must be at some level

629
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: they think a lot of the sport. First of all,

630
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: they should people should all be going to OutKick and

631
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: you know, just high five minute there.

632
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: They should be on an OutKick.

633
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: Because ESPN obviously thinks all the sports bros out there

634
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: you're gonna take whatever slop, whatever slop commentary ESPN puts forward,

635
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: the sports brows is gonna go okay as long as

636
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 3: I can hear about my sports. You know got you got.

637
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: A screaming era that's gonna be harder and harder to justify, Buck,

638
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: because it's the diehards, among the diehards who pay your

639
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: bills instead of everybody buying cable. You've got a solo now.

640
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: But I think, yeah, check out OutKick. We're the only

641
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: site Riley Gain's gonna be in the White House to

642
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: celebrate this. Thank you forty seven, Donald Trump for getting

643
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: this done. But OutKick was the only site that would say,

644
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: for the last eight nine years we were getting ripped

645
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: to shreds. Hey, men shouldn't be competing in women's sports.

646
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: I think this EEO is gonna have a significant impact,

647
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think Trump for getting it done, Riley Gains

648
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: for fighting the battle Buck. I'm headed to the super Bowl.

Speaker 3: news media that is there.

682
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,839

Speaker 1: look a bit disheveled.

684
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:36,560

685

Speaker 3: win and the team he has around him and the

686

687
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: the White House Press Secretary about that in just a

688
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 3: little bit in the middle of the next hour, so

689
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 3: you definitely want to stick around with us for that.

690
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 3: And Herery, this was a really interesting VIP email. I

691
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 3: just want to throw this out there. Hey guys, thanks

692
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: for all you do. I have been in nicke and

693
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 3: I have been in a Nicaragua in prison back in

694
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: ninety five. I wasn't incarcerated. I was a missionary, local pastor,

695
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: was an American citizen and former Sandinista. In all my

696
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 3: jail Ministry in USA, we brought literature. In Nicaragua, we

697
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: brought food because that was the biggest need. And according

698
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: to local pastor, if you were sentenced to five years

699
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: in prison, you could be out in weeks or never.

700
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Totally arbitrary.

701
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, don't want to go to prison in Nicaragua. Well,

702
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 3: I guess you could get lucky, but you could also

703
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 3: get really unlucky. We'll talk more about Elon Doge cutting

704
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 3: the government down, the FBI raids on J six people,

705
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,399
