1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Ooh, welcome back in our number two Clay Travis buck 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: Sexton show. Reminder, as we have been talking about, today 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: is primary day in the great state of Texas, also 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: in Arkansas and in North Carolina, the very first primaries 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: for the twenty twenty six election. 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: Cifle, Why does that matter? 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: Well, all of you should go vote and make sure 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: that you get the best possible nominees across every state, 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: but certainly in those three states in particular where the 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: voting is going on right now. We will have results 11 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: to talk about tomorrow. You just heard from Congressman Wesley Hunt, 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: one of the three primary contenders running alongside of Ken 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: Paxton and John Cornyn for the Republican nomination in the 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: state of Texas. On the Democrat side, Jasmine Crockett James 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: Tallerico one of those likely to win. We may have 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: runoffs in May if nobody gets to fifty percent. We 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: are going to continue to track that story the course 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: of the day. Obviously, Iran and the fallout of what 19 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: is going on there remains paramount in terms of the 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: overall interest and attention. We should mention by the way 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: that Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma also going to 22 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: join us in the third hour, and maybe our friend 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: Congressman Chip Roy, who is running for the Attorney General 24 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: of Texas, he may give us a buzz before he's 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 1: in the air right now, but before the show ends, 26 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: he wanted to reach out and make his case for 27 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: AG just FYI, but Buck, I wanted to play this. 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: This was Trey Yankst who is doing. 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: Let me just say, I don't know how much you're 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: watching Fox News, but the amount of incredible coverage that 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: Trey Yankst is giving us from inside of Israel where 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: you conceived during his broadcast. Legitimately the bombs that are 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: coming in Tel Aviv is on a. 34 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: Watch right now. 35 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: But you'll see him at reacting to as the bombs 36 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: are hitting, going in and out of the bomb shelter, 37 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: as many people all throughout Israel are doing. He reported 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier today, right before we came on air, 39 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: that the Iranian Supreme Council was counting votes to elect 40 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: a new leader when Israel struck the meeting location. Here 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: is that report, cut twenty nine. 42 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: I'm told by a senior Israeli official that the Israelis 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: just struck the Supreme Council gathering where the Iranians were 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: meeting to choose a new supreme leader. This is a 45 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: significant development and again speaks to the Israeli intelligence about 46 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 3: this war. They just targeted the meeting in Tihran where 47 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: what's left of the leadership was gathering to choose a 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: new supreme leader. 49 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Buck, but if I were 50 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: in Iran right now and I was told to go 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: to a meeting that involved high level Iranian official, I 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: think I might have a stomach ache, or I might say, hey, 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: maybe we could do this by phone. I can't believe 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: that they are still showing up in person and allowing 55 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: these kind of attacks to happen. I mean, it feels 56 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: suicidal in nature. I mean, you're a CIA guy, but 57 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't think you have to be a CIA guy 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: at this point in time in Iran to say, hey, 59 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: maybe big gatherings not necessarily something we. 60 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: Should be doing. 61 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: Well. 62 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 4: They're in a tough spot because if you can't gather 63 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: and you can't decide who's in charge, how can you 64 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 4: be in charge? And this is increasingly going to be 65 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 4: the problem that the mullaocracy faces over there. Who is 66 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 4: really calling the shots if you can't secure your own 67 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: airspace enough to prevent the enemy in this case US 68 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 4: and Israel from blowing up essentially anyone anywhere they want 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 4: at any time. 70 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: Are you you know? It reminds me of. 71 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 4: Of of Bane in the Dark Knight Rises or whatever 72 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: when he goes good. Do you feel do you feel 73 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 4: in charge? And you know that's a that's a chilling 74 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 4: moment if you remember what happens there and this gives 75 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: you power over me. That is pretty much where the 76 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 4: Iranian leadership is right now. Do they feel in charge? 77 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: Because they're not. I I am hopeful that there is 78 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 4: some burgeoning resistance movement with an Iran that is going 79 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: to come together. But this stuff is very hard, Clay. 80 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 4: I mean, you look at what happened with Assad in Syria. 81 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 4: There were various uprisings against the Assad regime before the 82 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 4: huge Syrian Civil war in which hundreds of thousands of 83 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 4: people died, starting around twenty twelve. 84 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: Uh. 85 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: And the thing about despotic, tyrannical police state regimes is 86 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: they're really good at being police state despotisms that stay 87 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 4: in power. That's their primary focus, and they have a 88 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 4: lot of contingency plans in place, and the whole system 89 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 4: that they have is first and foremost concerned with that, 90 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 4: not with a constitution or legitimacy or the welfare of 91 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: the people or any such thing. 92 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: It's how do we stay in charge. 93 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 4: So when that is your moniacal focus, it it takes 94 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 4: a lot to knock a regime off that pedestal and 95 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: to finally allow for there to be a different, a 96 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 4: different paradigm of leadership. But I'm hopeful that much I 97 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: can say. But we own their skies. I mean, all 98 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 4: that stuff. All they oh they're gonna have Russian surface 99 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 4: to air missile technology and oh they're gonna have no No, Actually, 100 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: we own their sky. We can blow up a Trump 101 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 4: can blow up anyone anywhere he wants to in Iran 102 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 4: right now, which you would think also gives you a 103 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 4: lot of leverage. 104 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: I think it seems quite clear to me that we 105 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: are just going to keep killing Iranian leaders until we 106 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: reach a point that somebody is workable. And I'm gonna 107 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: be honest with you, Buck, I kind of feel like 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: whoever ends up in charge of Iran maybe a Masad guy, 109 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: meaning he has been working. 110 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 4: With Masad for some time. That's a little extreme claim. 111 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: The next I told his name is Shlomo. 112 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: No, no, no, I don't mean that he is Jewish 113 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: or from Israel. I mean that he has been working 114 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: with Israel behind the scenes, providing information. 115 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: Have you seen all the stuff? 116 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: By the way, Israel reportedly hacked the cameras, the traffic 117 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: lights camera. Yeah, so that they were aware constantly of 118 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: where everybody was traveling in Iran. I mean, the degree 119 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: of knowledge that they had inside of Iran is incredible. 120 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: My point on this is, I actually think we probably 121 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: have a list of guys that we think we could 122 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: work with in a and I don't know how far 123 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: down the list they are, but I feel like at 124 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: some point Israel is going to have and by the extension, 125 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: the United States is going to have a good relationship 126 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,119 Speaker 1: with one of these guys. And we're basically looking for 127 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: our version of Delse Rodriguez, who is the Venezuelan leader 128 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: that is in charge after Maduro left, that is going 129 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: to be amenable to working for American American interest, if 130 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: that makes sense. And so we'll see exactly how this 131 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: shakes out. But I don't see any way when we 132 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: have air superiority like this to your point. I don't 133 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: see any way that Iran is going to be capable 134 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: of picking a leader who has any sort of staying power, 135 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: given our ability with the United States and Israel to 136 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: know everything that's going on in their country, and be 137 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: wiping people out every time they announced somebody new. It's like, 138 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: what was the job out at number two? Like that, Basically, 139 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: as soon as you got named the number two position 140 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: of al Qaida, you got almost wiped out, almost to 141 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: the point where the press releases announcing the new guys 142 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: in charge have barely gone out before. 143 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 4: They're already dead. That is the reality of what's going on. 144 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 4: I think Clay that there's something that Trump didn't. He 145 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 4: hasn't necessarily given us the full details on this, and 146 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: maybe he won't because of concerns over sources and methods 147 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 4: and classified information. But it seems like something sparked this 148 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 4: with him, something recent, and maybe it was the reports 149 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 4: about the negotiating position of the Iranians recently dealing with Witkoff, 150 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 4: where they essentially said we got enough to get a 151 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 4: whole bunch of nukes, and that's now the new reality. 152 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: Deal with it. You know, we're not changing this, but 153 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: maybe there was something else. This is cut thirty. 154 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 4: Trump is saying that if we didn't do something, we 155 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 4: were heading toward a nuclear war, a nuclear exchange. 156 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: Play thirty. 157 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 5: A big, big factor in this world and future factor 158 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 5: is what we're doing right now with the're in. If 159 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 5: we don't stop them, or if we didn't stop them, 160 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 5: or if we didn't start, they've been decimated. But if 161 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 5: we didn't do what we're doing right now, you would 162 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 5: have had a nuclear war and they would have taken 163 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 5: out many countries because you know what, there's sick people, 164 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 5: they're mentally ill, sick people. They're angry, they're crazy, they're sick. 165 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 2: We have wit coughs cut actually where he talks about this. 166 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: I think we should play this for everybody. 167 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 4: This is cut seven where Steve Whitkoff, as part of 168 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 4: his negotiations with the Iranians, listen to what he learned 169 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 4: from the Iranian side of the table. 170 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 2: Play seven. 171 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 6: In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to 172 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 6: us directly with you know, no shame that they controlled 173 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 6: four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty percent and they're 174 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 6: aware that that could make eleven nuclear bombs. And that 175 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 6: was the beginning of the negotiating stance, so's they were 176 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 6: proud of it. They were proud that they had evaded 177 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 6: all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place 178 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 6: where they could deliver eleven nuclear bombs. 179 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 4: Seems like they told them we're cheating and you can't 180 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: stop us, and Trump was like, but I can. 181 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: I think buck that one way to describe this might 182 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: be by saying they think darkness is their ally, but 183 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: in reality, they've merely adopted the darkness, and we, in 184 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 1: fact were born in it, molded by it. One of 185 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: the all time great lines that I've just altered a 186 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: bit for people out there. But it does come back 187 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: to what I think is the ultimate question. 188 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: Now. 189 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: I think we are accelerating rapidly towards a resolution under 190 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: which there is a new leader of Iran that the 191 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: United States and Israel approve of. The question that will 192 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: then exist is how stable is that new leader right? 193 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: How much power does he have internally? 194 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: And the second part of that, I think will be 195 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: how reliable is that relationship that the United States has 196 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: with whoever that leader is? And I think this is significant. 197 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: The reason they elevated Delsea Rodriguez was. They didn't think 198 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: the military was willing to turn entirely on the Maduro regime, 199 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: and so they weren't going to be able to just 200 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: pluck the Maria Menudo the wrong word, but Maria Tate whatever, 201 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: the woman who was theoretically the democratically elected leader, the 202 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: military was going to oppose her, and so they made 203 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: a choice. This is not the most ideal option, but 204 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: it is the best option given the circumstances. Who is 205 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: the best option given the circumstances right now in of Iran? 206 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: And how many people do we have to kill? Frankly, 207 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: there's a report that there were eighty eight people that 208 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: were involved in that assembly of experts that was basically 209 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: the conclave of former experts that we just wiped out. 210 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: Who even makes the decision? 211 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 4: Now, if we've killed forty nine high ranking people before this, 212 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: if we just hit an assembly of experts of eighty eight, 213 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 4: you got to figure that dozens of those people are dead. 214 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 4: If you look at that footage of that building, it 215 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 4: doesn't seem very likely that very many people survived. Certainly 216 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: very few people, if any, would have survived and not 217 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: been severely injured. So who actually has authority in Iran 218 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 4: and who has the authority such that the military, particularly 219 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: the high ranking aspects of the military would listen to them. 220 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 4: I'm sure that's a major calculation going on, which is 221 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 4: why I come back to again. It feels to me 222 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 4: like Israel knows and the United States knows who they 223 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 4: can work with. When will we get to the positions 224 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 4: where those people we could work with are elevated? And 225 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna take that long, honestly, But 226 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 4: I mean, if we have complete air superiority, and if 227 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: we are continuing to wipe out all their leadership and 228 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 4: every single hour they have less ability to be able 229 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: to send their drones or their missiles to hit other places, 230 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 4: what does the rod have left. I just don't see 231 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 4: how this could go on that long, given what's already 232 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 4: happened just since Saturday. That's my take. And look, sometimes 233 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 4: when you start off with groups or individuals that you're 234 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 4: gonna work with, it doesn't end up going your way anyway. 235 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 4: So maybe having it come together, I'm just saying, you, 236 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 4: look at Afghanistan. We have the Northern Alliance. We had 237 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 4: although they recognized the key leader in the Northern Allion 238 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: was a mad Shah Masoud and they killed Masud pretending 239 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 4: to be journalists. Al Kaeda killed Masud right before nine 240 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 4: to eleven, I think maybe even a day or two 241 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 4: before nine to eleven because they were concerned that he 242 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 4: would be a threat to them. Afterwards, we would what 243 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 4: would be our first call go to Masoud. 244 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: Right we would want to work with him in the 245 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: Northern Alliance. So they killed him. 246 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: But then we did work with the Northern Alliance pretty effectively, 247 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: and our special forces and CIA worked very well in 248 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: the weeks after the nine to eleven attack, but we 249 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 4: didn't win in Afghanistan. 250 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 2: So there's no guarantees with any. 251 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: Of this, no doubt, and we'll continue to break all 252 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: this down for you, But in the meantime, I want 253 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: to tell you all about our friends at Legacy Box. 254 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: If you're trying to preserve your family's memories, and you 255 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: know that maybe your family's memories right now they're stored 256 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: in an attic, or they're stored in a garage, or 257 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: their wilth and elderly family member, and you're not sure 258 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: what might happen if something happened to that elderly family member, 259 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: you can go right now to legacy box dot com 260 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: and you can get hooked up use my name Clay 261 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: with the best possible deal out there.

I walked through their factory in Chattanooga. 268 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: I saw underway the process of preserving all the family 269 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: memories out there, the photos, the film reels, the VHS tapes. 270 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: In fact, they probably have in Legacy Boxes factory right 271 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: now the largest collection of VCRs if you remember back 272 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: in the day, in the eighties and the nineties. I 273 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: walked through this place. I couldn't believe.

What's the last country that 300 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: the United States got involved with that is in better 301 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: shape than if we had never gotten involved with them 302 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: at all? 303 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: Germany and Japan and Koreer It's my answer. 304 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 4: But that goes all the way back to World War Two, 305 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 4: the Marshall Plan and everything that came out of that 306 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 4: in Eastern and Western Europe, and they shaving South Korea 307 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 4: from the the atrocity of the Kim regime and Chinese 308 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 4: communism and North Korea and all that was. But that 309 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 4: was that was a solid move too. People never think 310 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 4: about the Korean War. 311 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: So Vietnam to basically Iraq, we failed, but we have 312 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: a decent history. 313 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 4: Pre No, dude, Grenada is way better.

This is 374 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: if you need a little bit of a if you 375 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: need a little bit of a laugh, had do you 376 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: want to share what your request for assistance was and 377 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: then what your lovely wife's response was. 378 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 4: I may have been karting, and I do mean karting 379 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 4: like I was a long shoreman or something like I 380 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 4: was a Steve Adore. I was moving large boxes even 381 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 4: late last night from the back of my vehicle, all 382 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 4: courtesy of the great deals at Costco, at. 383 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: My favorite place to shop. I was just wondering. 384 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 4: Aloud, I said, is there some kind of twelve step 385 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 4: program for wives who have a Costco addiction? I was 386 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 4: just curious in case someone might need that help, someone 387 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 4: might need that information. And then I see making all 388 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 4: kinds of assumptions, my own beautiful wife suggesting that it 389 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 4: is my addiction to pellegrino, in fact, large glass bottles, 390 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 4: cases of pellegrino, that is the cause of these Costco runs. 391 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 4: And I just want to say, scurriless, scurless accusation. Yes, 392 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 4: I drink a lot of pellegrino, but I have nothing 393 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: more to say on the matter. 394 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: I gotta say this, when did it become standard, that 395 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: you don't just get normal water because of people like 396 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: you with all the sparkling waters and everything else. I 397 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: don't remember many years, like two years ago or something. 398 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you get asked now when you're 399 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: at restaurants, and it's not just me going to fancy 400 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: or restaurants, because this happens at not very fancy places 401 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: where they now come and instead of just giving you 402 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: standard water, they now give you all sorts of pellegrino 403 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: and everything else. Has there been a surge in pellegrino 404 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 1: drinking in general? 405 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 2: Do you think? 406 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 5: Yes? 407 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: Is this in my imagination? No? I think that's real. 408 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 4: Actually yeah, I know I think you were assuming you 409 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 4: were being a little supercilious. 410 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: But I think that what's really gone on. 411 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 4: Is that the the drinking habits of especially younger people, 412 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 4: have changed pretty dramatically. People are drinking a lot less alcohol, 413 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 4: and for a lot of restaurants, that's really where the 414 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 4: margin is. That's really where they're at. 415 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: So I think they're trying to make their money now 416 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: on upgrading off of regular water, because that's the that's 417 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: an interesting angle. 418 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: I will tell you. 419 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 4: I actually feel a little guilty if I don't at 420 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 4: least get like I was aut of dinner for six 421 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 4: or seven people on Sunday. We must have gone through. 422 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 4: I'm just gonna admit this on the radio. I guess 423 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 4: eight bottles maybe ten bottles of pellegrino, and I think 424 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: they charge us, you know, eight or ten dollars a bottle, 425 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 4: so you know you're adding let's say you're adding eighty 426 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 4: one hundred bucks onto the bill for water. 427 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now I understand that for a lot. 428 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 4: Of people, you'd be saying, well, that's egregious, that's our Yeah, 429 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 4: but none of us are drinking. I was of a 430 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 4: table full of adults. None of them were drinking booze. 431 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 2: And so the. 432 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 4: Restaurant really wants you. There's a reason why there are 433 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 4: wine glasses on the table when you sit down. There 434 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 4: are reasons why they always hand you a wine list 435 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 4: when you sit down. Oh yeah, you know. 436 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're. 437 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 4: Clay, you just order your Natty light and they have 438 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 4: to kind of scurry around back to be like what 439 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 4: is this? He drinks natural light beer, Like what is that? 440 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 4: But for a lot of people Clay, they go to 441 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 4: the wine list, and that is how these places make 442 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 4: their money. So I think that now water, I just 443 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 4: I don't want them pushing booze on me if I 444 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 4: don't want it. 445 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: So I'm happy to be upcharge for water. And I 446 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 2: think I'm not the only one. This is happening more 447 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: and more. 448 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: I just it is something. I think you're right. I 449 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: think it is that they're not consuming as much alcohol. 450 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: Profit margins and restaurants are slim, and so they're now 451 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: up charging basically water, and a lot of people are 452 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: doing it. I thought about you, by the way. I 453 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: was at at church on Sunday and they did the 454 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: you know, the they brought around the the wine and 455 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: the and the bread, and on the on the screen 456 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: it said it's gluten free. 457 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 2: I have never seen this before. If you were doing 458 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: the Lord's Supper, if. 459 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: You were taking it, it said on the big screen there, hey, 460 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: this is gluten free. 461 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 2: Now. 462 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 4: I was thinking, you must have a really bad gluten allergy, 463 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 4: if you know, a shot of grape juice and a 464 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 4: tiny pinprick of bread is going to break your world. 465 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: But I I did notice that here's another bit of news. 466 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: People want something positive. I bought a Tesla buck partly 467 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: because I think elon Musk had been unfairly attacked. And 468 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: so I've got teenage boys and I want a super 469 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: safe car. And we went and I did the the 470 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: They let you just kind of drive around and you 471 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: can see the autonomous driving of a Tesla vehicle. You 472 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: can just legitimately go in. They don't even have somebody 473 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: sit with you. They let you go out and you 474 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: can just ride around. You pick a place, you type 475 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: it in. I'm in the future now, Buck. This morning, 476 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: I took my fifteen year old to school. I typed 477 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: in his school address. It's super early in the morning 478 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: because he's lifting with the lacrosse team football team, they 479 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: have to be there early in the morning, and so 480 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: I just typed it in. I let the car drive 481 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: us to and from his school to drop him off. 482 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a prediction here, team, you can flag it. 483 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: I think the days of people driving cars are rapidly vanishing. 484 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: I think that if you have a baby right now, 485 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: like my assistant Katie has a baby girl that she 486 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: brings to the house most days, I think her baby 487 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: girl will not drive cars. Like I think if you 488 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: have a one two year old, you may still teach 489 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: them how to drive a car. But it's going to 490 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: become like riding a horse. I think autonomous vehicles are 491 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: going to be everywhere, certainly within a generation. It's the 492 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: biggest change in terms of day to day that I 493 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: have seen that. 494 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 2: I'm convinced is gonna happen. 495 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 4: I gotta tell you what's going to happen. In my mind, 496 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 4: the shift that is coming here is that it will 497 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 4: go from oh, I don't know. I'm nervous about the 498 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 4: autonomous driving too. As more and more people do it 499 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 4: and the data sets get larger and larger, it will 500 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 4: be considered dangerous dangerous to self drive at some point 501 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 4: in the future, or I should say more dangerous. I'm 502 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: not saying that so dangerous people don't do it, but 503 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: the conventional wisdom will be, well, auto drive is way 504 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 4: safer than you know, and really you should only be 505 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 4: self driving if you're off roading, or you're doing it 506 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: for some form of sport or fun, or you're tracking 507 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 4: your car, but just getting around on the highway. Because 508 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 4: it's going to be I'm a function of zeros and ones. 509 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 4: There's going to be programs, there's going to be data, 510 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 4: and the data is going to show you are way 511 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 4: safer because you know what a self driving car doesn't do. 512 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 4: It doesn't look down at its cell phone to check 513 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 4: out the latest sports scores. 514 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 2: Guilty. 515 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I agree with you one hundred percent. 516 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be transformative. It's going to 517 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: drive down insurance cost. I think one way it's going 518 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: to move towards autonomous is if the data is going 519 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: to reflect that if you are driving yourself, your likelihood 520 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: of being in an accident is much higher. I also 521 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: think this is something that's very positive. I think if 522 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: you're elderly and you are listening to us right now, 523 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 1: and maybe you're nervous about driving after dark, maybe you 524 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: just get nervous because you're going to the grocery store 525 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: and things like that, and you you are eighty plus. 526 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: Let's say. 527 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: I think it's going to allow people to continue to 528 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: live in their homes for longer because you're going to 529 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: get in your car, you're going to program it in. 530 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: I also think buck drunk driving. I think drunk driving 531 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: is basically going to vanish because you can either Obviously, 532 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: ubers are going to exist in everything else, in cabs, 533 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: and those are good choices. But I think we're going 534 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: to get to a point where you can get in 535 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: your car and it will just take you home and 536 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: you are not operating at it at all. 537 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 4: You know what Elon's vision is right, that your car 538 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 4: that you have now is going to be a car 539 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 4: that effectively replaces ubers, as in you're not using it. 540 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 4: That car can make you money and go around and 541 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 4: take other people wherever they need to go, and then 542 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 4: when you need the car, it comes back to you. 543 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 4: I think about this. I mean, the increase is in productivity. 544 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 4: They're going to happen as a result of this. It's 545 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 4: going to be remarkable. 546 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: And I say this. 547 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 4: You got two guys here who I know A lot 548 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 4: of you try to take our man cards away on this. 549 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 4: We see we're honest with you. We don't pretend I'm 550 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 4: not like, oh I love I like to take a 551 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 4: sprocket out of the carburator and get all of the 552 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 4: freese on my hands. I don't know anything, all right, 553 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 4: I don't know anything. I get into a car, if 554 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 4: I push that, if I push that pedal and it 555 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 4: doesn't go room room and start going, I have no 556 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 4: idea what is happening. 557 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: I have zero I know nothing about cars. 558 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 4: I want to be, you know, I want to be 559 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 4: in like a big comfy seat that's giving me like 560 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 4: an like a you know, a back rub. Basically, while 561 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 4: I can fall asleep and be taken anywhere. I have 562 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 4: no interest in sitting there, fighting through traffic doing all 563 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,239 Speaker 4: this stuff. I hate all that. Clays also clays with 564 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 4: me on this one, so I would rather work. 565 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, Buck, the charging. I thought it 566 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: was gonna be complicated. My charger plugs into the wall 567 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: in our garage like a cell phone charger. And by 568 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: the way, I'm not getting paid anything. One of the 569 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: most ridiculous things about five years of this show that 570 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: Buck and I have done together at my correct Buck, 571 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever made a dollar in car advertisements, 572 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: not that I'm a bit In five years, we haven't 573 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: been paid a single dollar to tell you, hey, go 574 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: buy this car. So I'm not getting paid anything at all, 575 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: just because inevitably people are gonna be like, oh, how 576 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: much is Elon paying you? 577 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: Nothing. It's amazing. I feel like I'm in the future. 578 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: I was not an e vehicle guy, but my car 579 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: is charging in my garage right now. It's basically plugged 580 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: in like it's a cell phone. And the self driving 581 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: vehicle aspect of this the car. By the way, let 582 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: me say this too. Cars are super expensive you can 583 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: get I'll tell you exactly what I paid. I got 584 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: a Model three and I got a couple of different 585 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: upgrades on it. It was fifty thousand dollars, okay, and 586 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: they have one percent interest for seven years. So I 587 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: think I put down five grand, six grand for a 588 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: brand new car that is as nice of a car 589 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: as is out there, very affordable, and I can pay 590 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: it off over seven years for basically no interest. 591 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: So this is not like some. 592 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: People are gonna say, oh, you've got tons of money, 593 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: this is a rich person thing. This is actually one 594 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: of the most affordable cars on the market. 595 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 4: So this is also, though, where we have to have 596 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 4: Clay speak honestly with all of you, because you can 597 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: pick your autonomous driving style if you will.
