1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: All right, second hour of Clay and Buck kicksoff. Now,

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,559
Speaker 1: thanks for being here with us, and we got a

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: lot going on. The war against Elon from the a

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: lunatic left continues on. You've got AOC out there now,

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked to Ryan Gerdusky about this yesterday. Clay.

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: That was my first sense, and I said it on

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: the show after the election, that they're going to try

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: to build AOC up into a national level democrat figure,

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: a leadership figure, just because of her profile. She's got

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: the right demographic appeal for them. I mean, there's a

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that comes together for them that would

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: make me think that they would do it. The problem

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: is she's a socialist and it's not very bright. But

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, then again, they made Joe Biden president somehow,

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: so they can figure out a lot of things, right.

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: But thing you've started to hear more of is they

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: are using Elon as a pivot to get into the

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: class warfare thing. So it's like, yeah, okay, inflation is bad,

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: the price of eggs coming down under Trump, we all know,

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: but was too high gas, all these things, But what

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: they really care about is the millionaires and billionaires, right,

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: the old Bernie Sanders routine and oligaucky. Here's Bernie Sanders

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: with the usual stuff, saying that they will not accept oligarchy,

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: played twenty one today.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: We are here to say, very loudly and billy, no,

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: we will not accept an oligarchic form of society were

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: a handful of billionaires run the government. No, we will

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: not accept an authoritarian form of society with a president

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: who undermines the Constitution every day and is working aggressively

30
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: to take away our freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, whatever, Okay. At the point here though, oligauky.

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: He's talking about oligacky again. And the thing that I

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: find so interesting is they're clearly trying to create a handoff.

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Bernie's too old. They tried this with Biden. They know

35
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: that they're not gonna get their hand caught in that

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: bear trap again, right, the burr or mouse trap or whatever.

37
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Bear trap with a hand would be really tough. But

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: they aren't gonna do that again. I think they realize

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: he is too He's in his eighties already, so he's

40
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: not eating in four years eighty three, he's not running

41
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: it almost ninety Okay, fine, AOC, though, is supposed to

42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: be the beneficiary. It's like Bernie is the elder statesman

43
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: and the quote intellectual socialist AOC is the next gen.

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: They're on this tour. But Batia Hunger Sargan, who had

45
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: that great clip on the Bill Marshaw recently about how

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: happy we all are that Trump is doing what he's

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: doing and how great things are the Trump voters have

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: no regrets, nothing but high fives all around. She pointed

49
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: out that this whole oligarch thing and the whole Wall

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Street for Republican it's all crap, it's all lies. This

51
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: is eighteen listen, listener dismantled this well done.

52
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: There is such an irony to Democrats talking about oligarchy because,

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: of course, for every one billionaire that backed President Trump

54
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris head two nine of the ten richest counties

55
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: in America are represented by Democrats. Sixty five percent of

56
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: Americans making over five hundred thousand dollars a year today

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 3: are Democrats. Seventy five percent of hedge fund managers who

58
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: make political donations donate two Democrats, and ninety five percent

59
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: of political donations from the top three management consulting firms

60
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: go to Democrats. Meanwhile, President Trump absolutely crushed with Americans

61
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: who make under one hundred thousand dollars a year. The

62
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: Democrats are the party of the wealthy and Donald Trump

63
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: is representing the working class because he simply lifted the

64
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: pro worker elements of the Democrats' agenda. When they abandon

65
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: the working class, who care to their rich base.

66
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: This is all performance, aren't Isn't that so? Well? Doningham

67
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: clay those stats, I mean, I am familiar with some

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: of that before. But if you look at where the money,

69
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: big you know, big hedge funds money goes to Democrats.

70
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Government bureaucracy, federal bureaucracy money all go all goes to Democrats.

71
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: McKenzie and Bain and these you know, supposedly elite management

72
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: consultant firms. Don't even get me started on what they

73
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: really do. Democrats, the establishment elites are overwhelmingly Democrats. Now

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: they're trying to pivot into the oligaukey and we care

75
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: about the working class. They don't care. They don't give

76
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: a you know what about the working class. I think

77
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: social media has exposed how little depth there is behind

78
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: these talking points. To your point, Kamala spent a billion

79
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: and a half dollars and had far more wealthy people

80
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: supporting her in the election of twenty twenty four, then

81
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: supported Trump. I was just out in San Francisco, Buck,

82
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: Marin County, right across the Golden Gate colonists. Unfortunately, but gorgeous.

83
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: That's where I'm going to unbelievably beautiful. I have a

84
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: friend from law school who lives in Marin County, and

85
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: we went out, had the kids. We went out and

86
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: got something to eat, and after I ate dinner there,

87
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: I went back. I'm a data nerd. I just wanted

88
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 1: to know because she said, yeah, everybody around here is

89
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: a diehard supporter of Kamala Harris. And she said, every

90
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: now and then I'll see like a Trump bumper sticker,

91
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: and people are You're gonna love this story, Buck, People

92
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: are like a ghast. So we were out for dinner

93
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: getting pizza. I had my son, she had a couple

94
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: of her daughters, and one of her daughter's friends was there,

95
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: and we were kind of talking and everything else, and

96
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: she said, oh, yeah, you know, mister Clay, he's a

97
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: big Trump supporter. And her daughter is in sixth grade

98
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: and her daughter's friend was also in sixth grade. Buck,

99
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: the daughter's friend looked at me like she thought I

100
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: was from another planet. I don't think she had ever

101
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: in her life, this little girl who was living in

102
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Marin County, ever seen someone who was a Trump supporter.

103
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: And my seventeen year old when we got in the

104
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: car to head back to the hotel, he said, Dad,

105
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: that girl was terrified when she found out that you

106
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump and wore a big Trump supporter

107
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: and when you said to her, he's actually a really

108
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: nice guy. I told her about the milkshake story, and

109
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: I was like, he's a good grandpa. It was as

110
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: if I were telling her that I was from Mars.

111
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: And I went and looked at the data. Marin County

112
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: voted ninety to ten for Kamala Harris, ninety to ten. Buck.

113
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just that these people are in cults.

114
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: It's that they really have bought into the idea that

115
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: we're evil people. Look we put on Joy Reid. I

116
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: don't think Joy Read's evil. I think she's a moron.

117
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: They really think that we are likes in a generous

118
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: mood today. Yeah, I mean they think that we're Nazi

119
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: stormtroopers and and I look, I mean it really like

120
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: I thought about this a lot when I got back

121
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: to the hotel, because these are highly educated people. How

122
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: can they be so insular that they are not familiar

123
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: even with the arguments that are being made. And I thought,

124
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: bucked this tied end because do you know where some

125
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: of these Teesla dealerships that are now getting firebombed are

126
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: Bay Area, right, And a lot of people there feel

127
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: somehow as if Twitter, which was certainly based in the

128
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: Bay Area, and we've talked about this. San Francisco is

129
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful cities in the world, that

130
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: may be the most beautiful, truly natural geographic city in

131
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: all of America, right, just yeah, and they have such

132
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: incredible wealth there. I think it's the wealthiest city in

133
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: America on a per capita basis. Yet their minds are

134
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: so closed that they can't even comprehend some of the arguments.

135
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: And they really have bought the idea that we're all

136
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of Nazi stormtroopers if we vote for Trump.

137
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: And it really is just kind of staggering because again,

138
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: I disagree with a lot of Democrat voters, but I'm

139
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: not trying to argue that they are truly evil. Well,

140
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: you made a point in the last hour that I

141
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: think is worth hitting again and expanding on a little bit,

142
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: and that is that Elon is a trader to his class.

143
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: And what's really interesting is that who is the original

144
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: great class trader in our lifetime in politics? Donald Trump? Yes,

145
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: of course he's not supposed to. He's not supposed to

146
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: care about the border. He's not supposed to. You know,

147
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was the billionaire that gets along with and

148
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: likes the construction workers and wants them to be able

149
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: to live in a nice house and have a nice

150
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: wife and a nice family and everything. They that is

151
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: a huge problem for the elites and the Donald and

152
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: also that Donald Trump didn't have the respect for them,

153
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: meaning the New York Times. You know, you show up

154
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump, you say, I went to Harvard. He's like,

155
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: who cares? Am I supposed to care? Why am I

156
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: supposed to? How'd you get into Harvard? Who cares? You know?

157
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: He he sees through a lot of the BS. Elon

158
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: is a different kind of trader to his class in

159
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: their mind, which is the Silicon Valley. You want to

160
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: talk about oligarchs, the Silicon Valley ultra wealthy, ultra high IQ,

161
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: global industry dominating figure. They have all. I mean, look

162
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: at Google and look at Facebook, and look at you. No,

163
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I know, Facebook started to play the game a little bit,

164
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: but you look at all. Silicon Valley has been essentially

165
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the greatest wealth creation and concentration of wealth creation maybe

166
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: in human history if you did it on like a

167
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: square mile basis, And it has unfortunately filled the country

168
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: with horrible ideas. It has filled the United States with

169
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the most left wing because of their dominance and social media,

170
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: because of the billions of dollars they've spent on politics

171
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: in different election cycles going back for decades now. And

172
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: Elon is the first one who has really broken from that,

173
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: who's at the absolute top. I mean, he is like

174
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: the apex of the pyramid clay and goes, yeah, that

175
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: stuff that you guys have been promoted, that's insane. Yeah,

176
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: you're wrong. It's destroying this country. That allowed you to

177
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: build Facebook, that allowed you to build Google, that allowed

178
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: for that massive wealth creation. So he's kind of the

179
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: Trump of the Bay Area in a sense, right. Trump

180
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: did it for the New York Times and Wall Street

181
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: and those elites. Elon has thumbed his nose at the

182
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: West Coast Silicon Valley Royalty. That's I think really well

183
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: said for East versus West Coast and the symbiosis between

184
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: the two. I would also point out really a lot

185
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: of what we're talking about is builders versus bureaucrats, people

186
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,239
Speaker 1: who create something that didn't exist otherwise. Trump built buildings,

187
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: Elon has built companies versus the people who really just

188
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: kind of get involved in what has already been built

189
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: and use it as their method to continue to make

190
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: a living. What do most people in DC build other

191
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: than a continued tax on the people who actually build,

192
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: and there's a frustration. I think that is what unites

193
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Musk and Trump on some level with a lot of

194
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the people in middle management that they feel like don't

195
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: actually create. Trump gets along well with construction workers. Why

196
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: would that be because he understands that they actually create

197
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: things with their hands. They actually build the buildings that

198
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: he's trying to put together. I think with that, without them,

199
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: you don't have Trump Tower. That's why he likes Trump Tower.

200
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: So thank you for the guys building. That's right. And

201
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: Elon has built his car almost exclusively that he sells

202
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: in the United states in the United States and uniquely

203
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: I think respects the craftsmanship for rockets or ships or

204
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: whatever else. They're builders, and a lot of what Democrats

205
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: represent now is actually the bureaucrats that effectively are taxes

206
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: leeches on the builders. And that disconnect is what's motivating

207
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: a lot of the conflict that's going on right now

208
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: in the country and why I think Elon is the

209
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: new target in combination with the fact that they thought

210
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: he was their guy and now they're having to look

211
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: around and say, wait a minute, the guy who's done

212
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: the most to fight climate change is actually a buddy

213
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: with Trump. Well, yeah, and they actually connect and it's

214
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: a logical choice in many ways for what Elon has done.

215
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: And isn't it also interesting, Clay that you see a

216
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: pattern a trend here. Jd Vance. I mean I read

217
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: Hillbilly Elogy like so many others did over a decade

218
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: ago when it came out. Jade Vance is an incredible

219
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: American success story. Yeah, that should be inspiring to everybody

220
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: of any background, race, creed, or color to grow. I

221
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: mean few things are harder on a young person than

222
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: having a broken family and addict mother. He's now the

223
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: Vice president of the United States and became a multimillionaire on

224
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: his own and served in the Marine Corps before that. Okay, yep,

225
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: the left completely negates all that in their mind because

226
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: he is the vice president Donald Trump, Elon Musk, some

227
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: guys show, they try to say that he's I've read

228
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: Eline's biography. I know you have two He is not

229
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: a rich kid, meaning like he didn't grow up a

230
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: rich kid. Yeah, his Parry's dad had a little bit

231
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: of money, but it wasn't he showed up here and

232
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: was sleeping on the floor. Uh, and kind of almost

233
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: like a weirdo. So devoted to his career. I mean,

234
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: he was absolutely all in and has created multiple companies,

235
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: employing hundreds of thousands of people and trillions of dollars

236
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: of wealth creation over the life of those companies. It's

237
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: incredible what he done. And they hate him. They hate him.

238
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: And then you look at who the Democrats hold up,

239
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Joe Biden is a leech. He's a leech.

240
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: Most politicians who are professional politicians are leeches. That's the job. Now,

241
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: you said earlier, and I think it's true. We need

242
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: more people who have success in life. And then decide

243
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: to give back to the country and a huge game change.

244
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Trump Elon Yeah, the Trump Elon axis. If you're a

245
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: multi billionaire businessman, now, who's better at the game than

246
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: anybody else? Like you got to help? You know whatever

247
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: that means, You've got it. And it doesn't mean writing

248
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: big checks and having people at your house in Malibu

249
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: for cocktail parties. No, it means actually giving of your

250
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: genius and your time to your country. Right. You know,

251
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: you want to talk about what the future looks like, AI,

252
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: drones tech, This is going to be everything in terms

253
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: of productivity, in terms of warfare. We need the best.

254
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: We can't have, you know, the the lazy department of

255
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: ED people running everything. All right, Look, we all have

256
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: memories that we wish we could relive. If you could

257
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: revisit your favorite memories he recorded on videotapeer film. I mean,

258
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: how much fun would that be? How great would that

259
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: be for your family? And what if you could replay

260
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,440

261

Speaker 1: about the way they're hitting Elon like crazy people. This

289
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: is caught eight. I just want you to hear these

290
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: are the kind of conversations we're having about the richest

291
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: man of the world, the most impressive CEO in the world.

292
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: Over at CNN play it.

293
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 5: This shows again the American people do not trust Elon Musk.

294
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 5: And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how

295
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 5: do we know because they fired tens of thousands of people.

296
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 5: Is challenging court. The court said the people have to

297
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 5: go back, and now the people are coming back. He

298
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 5: is incompetent, he's a thief, he's a Nazi, and people

299
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 5: don't trust him period.

300
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: That's a member of Congress, Jamal Bowman, who is saying

301
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: that the former a member former sorry, yeah, former, thank you. Yeah.

302
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: That's the alarm puller, alarm powl guy, right, yeah. But

303
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: Clay Elon Musk is incompetent or are we really doing this?

304
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: We're really doing this. Elon Musk is incompetent thing with Democrats. Now,

305
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: he's not the first one or the last one to

306
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: say a lot of them are trying this. This is

307
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: getting close to defamatory comments on CNN because when you say, uh, look,

308
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: you're allowed to speak hyperbolically. And I don't think Jamal

309
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Bowman is smart enough to be intentionally doing this. But

310
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: when you call someone a thief, you are opening yourself

Speaker 1: back into Clay and Buck. So we're talking about the

327
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: attacks on Elon and also some of what Trump said

328
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: from the oval this more well afternoon morning. It was

329
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: pretty close to being one or the other, and it's

330
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: really interesting to see how Trump is not backing down

331
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: at all. And one thing Clay that really did come

332
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: across substantially is that Trump recognizes when these judges and

333
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: these Democrats opposed things like getting elite members, these are

334
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: not It's not that he's taking Americans who have joined

335
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: a gang and just sent them to some foreign prison somewhere.

336
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: These are non Americans. They are not supposed to be

337
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: in the country in the first place. They're illegal aliens

338
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: who are also part of a violent gang that is

339
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: a designated terrorist organization. They are being sent out of

340
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: the country, and Democrats are going to the mat to

341
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: make sure they have maximum due process rights. The same Democrats,

342
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: and I mean the same individuals in some cases in

343
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: the media and the Democrat Party, who had no problem

344
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: with nonviolent j six Americans rotting away in a DC

345
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: gulag for a year without trial, are now really concerned

346
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: about trend to IRAGUA members. But let's actually get an

347
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: update here on the Elon story that was running on

348
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: the New York Times, from Under Secretary of Defense Sean Parnell,

349
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: who joins us for the first time on the program

350
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: since he has taken that senior Pentagon role. I feel

351
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: like I should salute Sean, thank you for being with us,

352
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: and tell us, tell us what you can about what

353
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: happened with the New York Times saying ELM was going

354
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: to get all the China war plans.

355
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 6: It was completely fake. And you want to know what else.

356
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 6: We had a heads up from the New York Times reporter.

357
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 6: I should say there's five reporters on it, but by

358
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: one of the reporters the night before that they were

359
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 6: planning to write something like that, and this was the

360
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 6: angle that they were going to take. And we told

361
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: them last night that it's not true, Like what are

362
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 6: you doing? That's not true, This is completely fake. Yet

363
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 6: they ran with the story anyway. What's crazy to me, Buck,

364
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 6: is that like this Secretary, Secretary Hegseth has been working

365
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 6: so hard to push peace through strength, to build up

366
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 6: our force, to work to implement the President's agenda. I've

367
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 6: been on the bilateral calls with foreign leaders. I've heard him.

368
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 6: I've heard him make the case for peace through strength.

369
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 6: But articles like this that Elon Musk is going to

370
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 6: come to the Pentagon and get a super secret squirrel

371
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 6: briefing on war plans with potential China, not only does

372
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 6: it undermine the Secretary's you know what his goals and

373
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 6: ambitions are here, which I think is part of the point.

374
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 6: It also is is it's dangerous. It's dangerous because many

375
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 6: of us took this job, Buck, and I know I

376
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 6: speak for the Secretary too, because we've got a lot

377
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 6: of kids our job. I think we've got four years

378
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 6: to get this done. You know as well as I do. Buck.

379
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 6: The operating environment, the threat environment glow is changing rapidly.

380
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 6: We've got to change and evolve our force to meet it.

381
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 6: But we we've got kids that we've got to make

382
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 6: sure that they inherit a world that is better than

383
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 6: the one that we had, that is more prosperous the

384
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 6: one that we had and it's safer, and articles like

385
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 6: that like this from the New York Times work against

386
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 6: that goal, and it just it just makes you wonder

387
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 6: what their motivation is. It's to me, it's just sickening.

388
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: They should retract, not only should they retack, Sean, congratulations

389
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: on the new job, and thank you for the work

390
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: that you're doing there and for hopping on with us.

391
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: Don't you think, Sean, that this had to be coming

392
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: via a leak in some way to the New York Times?

393
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: And if that occurred, wouldn't that be criminal based on

394
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: the method that it was distributed? And given the story

395
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: that's out there about China war plans, what kind of

396
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: investigation can we expect or should take place here?

397
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 6: Well, we're still in the early phases of this, so

398
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 6: we're still trying to wrap our mind around how something

399
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 6: like this could happen. But yeah, certainly it's it's it's

400
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 6: a leak, in this case, a fake one. So whoever,

401
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 6: who the two anonymous defense officials? I mean, you sit

402
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 6: there and you read the article from from the Times,

403
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 6: and you wonder if these anonymous defense officials are even

404
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 6: real people. I don't know. But thankfully in this regard

405
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 6: that the leak was fake and we were able to

406
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 6: control the narrative. But the fact of the matter is

407
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 6: that this, this is a big building where we do

408
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: nothing but but plan, plan, plan, for every contingency. And

409
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 6: we can't have you know, anonymous defense officials passing off,

410
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 6: you know, what they think might be classified information to

411
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 6: to reporters who then turn around in public and publish it. Yeah,

412
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 6: that's criminal and and and I'll tell you there there

413
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 6: there have got to be consequences for that. So we're

414
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 6: still trying to figure out how how we approach this.

415
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 6: But yeah, I'll tell you this is, this is on

416
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 6: all of our minds because this isn't this is I mean,

417
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 6: there are politics behind everything, but what we're dealing with

418
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 6: here are are global national security issues that could affect

419
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 6: the safety of Americans or potentially the safety of Americans.

420
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 6: You can't play with that stuff. So yeah, what I

421
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 6: can tell you, we're definitely looking into avenues that we

422
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 6: can you know, investigates the loaded word, but we've got

423
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 6: to do something.

424
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Speaking of Sean Parnell, it's just an under Secretary of

425
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: Defense at the Pentagon, formerly as you know, Sean was

426
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: a friend of ours here on the Clay and Buck

427
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: podcast network, and Sean, just give us a sense of

428
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: what some of the top agenda items are right now

429
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: that Secretary of Defense hag Seth, and then you working

430
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon with the rest of the team there,

431
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: what are some of the top items that you're trying

432
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: to do in terms of reform, in terms of transparency

433
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: and just war fighting efficiency.

434
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 6: Yeah. So I think the top priority for US Buck

435
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 6: and Clay is defense of the homeland. It's been something

436
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 6: that both Democrat and Republican regimes over the last twenty

437
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 6: thirty years have probably not been as strong as they

438
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 6: needed to be on this. But you know, we're we

439
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 6: are very, very focused on full operational control of the

440
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 6: southern border, and that means the cartels not controlling a

441
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 6: single square mile of anything. That means stopping the flow

442
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 6: of fentannel into our country. It's the number one cause

443
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 6: of death for people in America between eighteen and forty five.

444
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 6: It's absolutely unacceptable. It needed to stop yesterday. I think

445
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 6: we're really focused as well on you know this, this

446
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 6: process will be slower, but a real focus on the

447
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 6: Endo Pacific and deterring China. What looms large over many

448
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 6: of these these BILAC calls. Don't want to go into

449
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 6: deep on what's the substance of the conversations, of course,

450
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 6: but the rising tide of the CCP is something that

451
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 6: looms large over everything. We recognize. It's something that we're

452
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 6: going to have that we've got to focus on. It's

453
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 6: a challenge for sure. The third I think is figuring

454
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 6: out a way to increase burden sharing with our allies.

455
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 6: You know, the truth is our allies need to do

456
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 6: more to both protect their nation and protect protect the

457
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 6: world so that we don't have to. You know, we're

458
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 6: always going to be there, We're always going to step

459
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 6: up when we're going to do our part. But as

460
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 6: I mentioned earlier, the world is changing and evolving rapidly,

461
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 6: and if this country, the world's loans superpower, does not

462
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 6: change rapidly and evolve with it, bad things will happen.

463
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 6: And so those I think buck are the top three

464
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 6: priorities for us. I think, you know, operationally, but internally

465
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 6: to the force, like we're aggressively assessing standards, trying to

466
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 6: get a sense of maybe how things changed over the years.

467
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 6: We've removed all the caustic and divisive diversity, equity and

468
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 6: inclusion nonsense from almost all of our digital platforms, you know,

469
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 6: the climate change insanity, all of the electric tanks crap

470
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 6: that's done and gone at the Pentagon, we're cutting those

471
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 6: pros and reinvesting them into programs that will make us

472
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 6: more capable and lethal. So lots of things that are

473
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 6: happening here depending on in the first two months, and look,

474
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 6: it's going to be pedaled to the metal for us

475
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 6: for the next four years because we really want to

476
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 6: we really want to change things, and we're not going

477
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 6: to waste any time doing it.

478
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: Talking to Sean Parnell, all of that's incredibly important. I

479
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: know there's been a lot of breaking news. I don't

480
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: know if you've seen the latest breaking news. Your Pittsburgh

481
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: Steelers are currently hosting Aaron Rodgers on a quarterback visit,

482
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: so you get an opportunity to step outside of the

483
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: world of geopolitics. Right call, wrong call. You've added some

484
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver weapons. You are a big time Pittsburgh Steeler fan.

485
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: For people who don't know, should Aaron Rodgers be the

486
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: next quarterback of the terrible Towel Waivers?

487
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 6: Well, let me just tell you this. First of all,

488
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 6: I'm excited as a Steelers fan for DK Metcalf.

489
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: I just am.

490
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 6: He's a freaking beast. We need a receiver like him,

491
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 6: a number one ride receiver that can be really a

492
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 6: deep threat. That guy, that guy is extraordinary. He's extraordinary athlete.

493
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 6: He's gonna fit in well in Pittsburgh. Hey, I'm whatever.

494
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 6: It's Aaron Rodgers. We'll give it a go. I think

495
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 6: he's but I'm game, right, I'm game to try anything.

496
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 6: This is the Steelers I think have struggled at quarterback

497
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 6: since Ben Roethlisberger left the team. I've got an all

498
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 6: of the above strategy on this one here, Clay, Like,

499
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 6: it's Aaron Rodgers. He's a Hall of Famer. Let's give

500
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 6: it a go. See what we can accomplish.

501
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Sewan. We appreciate you making the time. Buck.

502
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: We still need to get I'm in DC right now,

503
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: but we still need to come hang out with you

504
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: guys at some point. Sewan down the line and make

505
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: sure we get to get tell your story from over

506
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: near the Pentagon.

507
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 6: Oh for sure, now that I'm kind of like more settled,

508
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 6: we can definitely make that happen one hundred percent fantastic.

509
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Sean. Maybe I don't know. I

510
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: play says he's never been on an aircraft carry you

511
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Maybe we've got to do some journalism.

512
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: That would be pretty cool. Get him on a helo,

513
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: get him out to one. I'm just saying that's a

514
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: good idea.

515
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 6: We might be able to make that happen too.

516
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: Sounds awesome. Thank you. Thank you to Sean Parnell, diehard

517
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: Steeler fan. And speaking of the Steelers, you can't really

518
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: get your picks in on the Steelers right now, but

519
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,680

00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: And I told the team, do we have a tally

522
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: yet to see how I did, how Buck did in

523
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: the early goings of the Great Bracket Challenge for a

524
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: steake Dinner. Bet they're up on clayanbuck dot com. I

525
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 1: have not been able to tally them to see who

526
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: had the best first day of the NC DOUBLEA Tournament,

527
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: but I do know you can have a good day

528
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: every single day of the NC DOUBLEA Tournament and then

531
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: billion dollars this year. That's an exaggeration, barely, uh, but

532
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: they are going to be spending more than anybody else.

533
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: I think it's actually four hundred million. And you were

Speaker 1: how spectacular northern Michigan is in the summer, in particular,

565
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: I like warm weather until I went up there, got

566

Speaker 1: sign up join the team at Crocketcoffee dot com. Code

581
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: Book Buck. I wanted to go back that clip you played,

582
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: and we can talk about it a little bit maybe

583
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: in the next hour two. But Jamal Bowman, formerly the

584
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: congressman from New York who lost his Democrat opponent in

585
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: the primary, lost to his Democratic opponent in the primary,

586
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: is no longer in Congress. When you call somebody a

587
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: thief and a Night, even with the public figure standard

588
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: of speech allowed, you are moving really close to engaging

589
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: in defamatory action. And I do wonder whether CNN is

590
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: going to have to issue an apology in some way

591
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: over this, because when you accuse you're a thief, when

592
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: you say someone is a thief, you are accusing them

593
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: of committing a crime. When you say that they are

594
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: a Nazi, I mean that is a pretty specific negative connotation.

595
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: And Elon Musk has all the money in the world

596
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 1: to bring lawsuits over issues such as these, and I

597
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: wonder what exactly the game plan is with the way

598
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: that they are trying to lay this out. Do you

599
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: think there's any Do you think Jamal Bowman is even

600
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: smart enough to even analyze any of this. No, he's

601
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: just saying I hate him. He's bad because my team,

602
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: the Democrats, don't like him. I don't think you could

603
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: easily sue someone for saying you're a Nazi, because that's

604
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: a term the Democrats have been throwing around very liberally

605
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: for a long time. Thief, though, starts to get a

606
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: little bit more specific. I mean, if you said that

607
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: somebody is guilty of embezzlement, for example, or corporate fraud. Yeah,

608
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: that's defamatory, right unless unless you have a basis for

609
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: that of if you get specific enough. You know, you

610
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: can't say someone is like a convicted murder or convicted

611
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: molester just because you feel like it. That's defamatory. Elon's

612
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: not gonna waste his time with this stuff. There's too much.

613
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: There's too much of it going on. It's just a

614
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: shame that anybody has to be subjected to such stupid commentary.

615
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: But that's what you get when you watch CNN. I

616
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: gotta say the stuff going on over there is really

617
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: it's it's really pathetic. It's the very dumb people appearing

618
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: on that network on a very regular basis. You know

619
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: what's intriguing to me. Also about Bowman calling Elon a

620
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: thief and a Nazi is Bowman lost his seat in

621
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: New York to a large extent because he was too

622
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: pro Palestinian in the wake of October seventh. So if

623
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: anybody's actually a Nazi sympathizer, I think it would be

624
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: someone who was defending the Hamas attacks in any way

625
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: coming out of Gaza. And so that's Jamal Bowman. So

626
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: the irony of him deciding to call Elona nazi Is.

627
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: He actually got defeated by Democrat primary voters, not Republicans.

628
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: Democrat primary voters because he was too condemnatory of Israel

629
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: and their defense in the wake of October seventh. Let's

630
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: take John. Do we still have John and mechanicsburg Pa?

631
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: John in Pennsylvania, Let's take it.

632
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm here.

633
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: How are you on the air? Now? Hey?

634
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 4: Okay, No, I was sitting here thinking the past couple

635
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 4: of days about Elon Musk, mister Musk, and I haven't

636
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 4: heard anyone say thank you to that man for what

637
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 4: he done. He didn't have to do what he done.

638
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 4: He went up there and he rescued our astronauts out

639
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 4: of space. And still a year a year ago, every

640
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 4: Democrat wanted a tesla. Now they're blowing them up. You know,

641
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 4: that doesn't make any sense to me. And what really

642
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: pissed me off is that I didn't hear one person

643
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 4: say to that man, thank you for what you did.

644
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Thus, mister Musk, thank great call. Totally agree. I said

645
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: thank to be. We say that with you, yes, but

646
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: you say that to a large extent. I think Elon

647
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: deserves a great deal of credit and thanks for many Americans,

648
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: we come back. Department of Education ended. We're going to

649
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: play you some of the audio of that
