00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Making the American Farm Strong Again. Team forty seven with

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 2: Clay and Buck starts. Now.

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: President Trump this morning has officially signed papers to end

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: the Department of Education. We're going to be reacting to that.

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, I think it's really kind of extraordinary, has

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: become even more of a target. I bet you would

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: agree with this, Buck than even Trump himself. Now, I

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: think they've recognized that there are no new attacks they

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: can levy on Trump. I mean, once they call you

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: Hitler and the American public goes ahead and votes for you,

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I don't know that anything is really

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: registering when it comes to the attacks on Trump. But

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: they are coming after Elon with a vengeance. And I

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: was listening this morning our friend Sean Parnell, formerly of

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck podcast at Network, now high up

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: at the Department of Defense. Elon will meeting at the

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Pentagon this morning, and the meeting was designed to try

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to save.

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: More money through DOGE.

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: It was reported in the New York Times that the

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: meeting and on its face, I just thought this was crazy. Buck,

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: and I don't know about you. The New York Times

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: reported that Elon was getting access to how we would

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: respond to China militarily in the event they attacked, which

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: is so outlandish and crazy. Like I thought I was

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: being pranked when I saw the headline. They say that

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: it is completely untrue. Here is Sean Parnell talking about

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: what Elon was doing on the Pentagon visit. And I

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: know Trump and Pete Hegset Defense Secretary have just addressed

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: it in the last several minutes from inside of the

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Oval office.

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: But here's our friend, Sean Parnell cut six.

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: On the record. That is completely fake. And let me

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: show you this. This started with this New York Times

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: headline and they since changed it. But musk Set to

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 3: get access to top secret US plan for potential war

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: with China. This is egregious, This is fake. The New

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: York Times should retract this story. Five anonymous sources. I've

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: been on Bilat calls with the Secretary.

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: I see how hard.

42
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: He's working to implement the President's agenda and pursue peace

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: through strength. This type of garbage from the New York

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: Times undermines that process and undermines our mission. It shouldn't

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: happen at all. Elon Musk is just coming over here

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: for a visit.

47
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Buck, this is kind of crazy. I first

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: of all, do you buy that they would be giving

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: a brief Why would they give Elon Musk a briefing

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: on the military response in the event we went to

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: war with China. It's a very strange thing, like what's

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: going on here?

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: No, I think that whatever it is that they were reporting,

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: whatever their sources said, was either just flat out wrong

55
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 4: or misreported because they had the story wrong right. So

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: it was either they just ran with it and didn't care,

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: or they exaggerated dramatically whatever it was that I've been said,

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: Keep in mind, Elon Musk already has a top secret

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 4: and compartmented security clearance. He can see a lot. There

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 4: seems to be this very weird game, you know, Tim Wallas,

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: I think recently Clay said that Elon should go back

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: to South Africa or something like that. Elon's been an

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: American citizen for twenty years. Interesting, isn't it How the

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: Democrats all of a sudden are the xenophobic ones when

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: they don't like what someone's doing to their favorite group

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: of toys, which is all these different federal agencies. Elon also,

67
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: because of the role that he has with SpaceX, is

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: going to know more about you know, aerodynamics, jet propulsion capabilities,

69
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: space technology then basically anybody in the United States government. Anyway,

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: I hate to have to break that to anyone, but

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: if you want to know what's truly cutting edge, you

72
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: wouldn't sit down with NASA. You would sit down with Elon.

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: And I think that Democrats have a really hard even

74
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: if they tried to think it through, which they don't,

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: have a very hard time with that, because they like

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 4: to believe that, just like in the movie Armagedin, there's

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: a team of geniuses at NASA that will save us

78
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: from the asteroid hitting, which by the way, is not true.

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: There's a team that could get a great DEI seminar

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: going for you, but NASA is not what we were

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 4: raised to believe it was from the moon landing days.

82
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: So they're going after Elon though. Clay and I think

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 4: it's because of a couple of things. One, they see

84
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: him as really the implementur of the Trump agenda right now,

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: and I think he also worries them in a longer

86
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: term sense because he's the richest man in the world

87
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 4: running some of the most influential companies in the world,

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: and he's going to be around for a long time,

89
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 4: and his influence isn't one election. His influence could be

90
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: much more meaningful than that over the long term, you know,

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 4: not just the four years that he may be helping Trump.

92
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: And that's why they've really focused their fire pardon expression.

93
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: They focus their anger more at Elon than at Trump

94
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: for the last couple of months.

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: I think you're one hundred percent right. I would also

96
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: suggest that partly it's because they have now recognized that

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: their attacks on Trump just don't work.

98
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: And what the.

99
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Data reflected, there's some interesting data from the election buck

100
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: that shows that one reason Kamala had so much difficulty

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: defining Trump was every time she tried to attack him,

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: it actually worked to Trump's favor. Because once you try

103
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: to imprison someone for the rest of their life, and

104
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: once you try to bankrupt them, and once you have

105
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: called them hitler for nearly a decade, eventually you get

106
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: to the point where all of those.

107
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Attacks have no more impact.

108
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: And I suspect that what has happened is they looked

109
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: at Elon and they said, Okay, he hasn't been attacked

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: in the same way. And it's interesting, Buck, to me,

111
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: because what they tried to do initially was say, oh,

112
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: Elon's really the president of the United States. There was

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: a calculated attempt to try to divide Trump and Elon

114
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: by saying, Trump, who you've tried to tell us, is

115
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: this authoritarian Hitlarian dictator is actually not in command of

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: this regime of this new term. It's actually Elon Musk.

117
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: That seems to have fallen flat because that was their

118
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: initial way to come after Elon. Now the new attack is,

119
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: let's try to hit Elon in the pocket book, Let's

120
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: try to destroy him.

121
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, this.

122
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Tesla stuff is crazy, Buck. Some of it is just silly,

123
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: like there's a video that went viral of a woman

124
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: pulling down her pants and like rubbing her butt on

125
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: a tesla. But then there's actually scary stuff like the

126
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: fire bombing. And I don't know if you saw this

127
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: video that has started to go viral. I saw our

128
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: friend Bill Malujin shared it this morning of a guy

129
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: with a mask on who forces a woman off the

130
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: side of the road, gets out and tells her that

131
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: she supports Hitler because she's driving a tesla and demands

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: that she immediately sell it. This is strange stuff.

133
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: You know this if you think about what they had

134
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: done with Trump, which was the creation of the ultimate

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: political boogeyman. There are a lot of people who now

136
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: that they do this, let's say, you know, they'll talk

137
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: about like stochastic terrorism, right, which is if you just

138
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: put the message out enough randomly, someone somewhere will act

139
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: on it. This is a very This is a Democrat

140
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: concept for whenever they want to blame terrorism on Republicans,

141
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 4: it's it's stochastic terrorism, right, And that's that's a concept

142
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 4: that they've come up with. It's actually from mathematics. It's essentially,

143
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: if you try something enough the variability of a vast

144
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: with a vast number set, someone's gonna do something crazy.

145
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: But what you see with Elon, I think is they

146
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: have had to transfer that rage mechanism that they have

147
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: built up against Trump. Well, what really is the you know,

148
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: Trump's only he's doing it.

149
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 2: He's president.

150
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: He's not running again like they you know, they tried

151
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: to kill him twice. Like, it's just he's not going anywhere.

152
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: He won, and they have to deal with it. Now

153
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: they've had to accept at some level that he is

154
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: president and this is the next four years. But I

155
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: think that the emotional need they have the same way

156
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: those little maniacs who say they're antifa, meaning anti fascist,

157
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: and they run around all dressed in black.

158
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: You remember this.

159
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: I mean, they pop up at different protests, But it's

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: really all just one big act of self congratulation and

161
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: narcissism for total losers, the total losers of the left.

162
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: And there's lots of them, there's millions of them. Maybe

163
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: it's only five or ten percent of the Democrat Party,

164
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: but Clay, they need somebody to hate and blame for

165
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: all their problems because for a decade they've been trained

166
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: to do that with Donald Trump, and it just doesn't

167
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: hit the same way anymore. Not only that, I think

168
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: there's an element of they feel like they were betrayed

169
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: because Elon Musk was their hero in creating an electric vehicle.

170
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and now it's.

171
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Like the bitter ex girlfriend, where you start behaving in

172
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: a fundamentally irrational way. Could be the bitter ex boyfriend

173
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: for people out there where. It's not only that Elon

174
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: is now allied in some way with Trump, it's that

175
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: they thought he was their great savior of climate change.

176
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: To me, the funniest and most ridiculous aspect of all

177
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: this buck is when you're lighting Tesla's on fire, you're

178
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: actually destroying the person who has done the most, probably

179
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: to fight climate change, maybe in the entirety of the world.

180
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: And these people in particular, who are the ones lighting

181
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 4: the Tesla's on fire. I can assure you the overlap

182
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: with people that are full of rage at Elon but

183
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: also believe the propaganda about climate as an existential threat.

184
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: It's probably close to one hundred percent. Okay, if you're

185
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 4: that upset about Elon, you also believe climate change is

186
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 4: an existential threat, which means that your willingness or your

187
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: need to act out your childish rage against Elon and

188
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 4: the Trump industrial complex is more important to you as

189
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: a leftist maniac than saving the planet from the climate

190
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: change threat that you believe is going to make us

191
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: all go extinct. Gives you a sense of how deranged

192
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: these people are. But the Democrats created a cult, and

193
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: the problem is you can't always control the cult members.

194
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: Like when you tell the cult members that the world

195
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: is going to end, and you get to the one

196
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 4: hundredth time you've told them that, Yeah, a lot of

197
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: people are going to realize, Okay, that was insane. But

198
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: some of them are like, no, it's on the one

199
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: hundred and first day, and that's who we're lighting Tesla's

200
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 4: on fire. They are not giving this battle up at all.

201
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 4: They are still insane, and they are deeply enmeshed in

202
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: the really the MSNBC New York Times DEI woke cult.

203
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's we should come up with a more

204
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 4: specific name for it, but that's what it is. The

205
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: Fauci worshiping, Zelensky loving maniacs have all come together.

206
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: I think, deep down, Buck, they're actually starting to realize

207
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: they're the bad guys.

208
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 4: And I think I've been I've been thinking of this,

209
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: saying this for a while to I told I think

210
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: that they're worried, Oh my god, what if we're wrong

211
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: about everything. I think that that does occur to some

212
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 4: of them.

213
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's why you were seeing them act

214
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: out so vociferously and violently. It's because in the back

215
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: of their mind they're like, wait a minute, we've been

216
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: arguing we're the good guys and we're on the right

217
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: side of history, and Trump's win of the popular vote.

218
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: And even if you look at this is the thing

219
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: that's crazy to me, even if you look at what

220
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: they're doing.

221
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,119
Speaker 2: Fuck, Elon has trying to save.

222
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Taxpayers money and they're lighting Teszlas on fire for it.

223
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what it's It would be different

224
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: if Elon.

225
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 4: If Elon were like, the wars are for bombing Gaza, Yes,

226
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: I would understand. You know, if Elon was giving press conversations,

227
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 4: he's like, well, all technology is so much better at

228
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: bombing gaza.

229
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: You know, if he was doing like good to Elon impersonation,

230
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, I'm working on it.

231
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: But you know, if he was actually doing that, I

232
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 4: would understand a little more. He's like, hey, guys, your

233
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: taxpayer dollars are being lit on fire, and the money

234
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: that's being spent by the government is debasing all of

235
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 4: the money that you are earning and all the money

236
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: that you are saving. I'm trying to stop this from

237
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: straight up destroying the economy so that we have to

238
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 4: have a reset, the likes of which nobody wants to see.

239
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 4: And people are like, light his cars on fire.

240
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: They're trying to treat him like he's a bond villain

241
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: and all he's doing is trying to make the government

242
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: spend money more efficiently. It's one of the craziest bad

243
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: guy descriptions that I've ever heard of.

244
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 4: And there's also a there's a I don't know if

245
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: you'd say it's full circle, if it's poetic justice, it's

246
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: they They called for this fight. They made Elon, They

247
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: made Elon who he is. They created him. Yes, they

248
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 4: created him because of a lot of things, a lot

249
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 4: of the madness, a lot of what they've been pushing for,

250
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: certainly the Trump era, which is really its own period

251
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 4: of American politics now right. I mean, it's just different

252
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: than everything else we've seen. But Clay, they transd one

253
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: of his kids, and he has said, I am not

254
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: surmising this. They trans one of his young children, not

255
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: even like, you know, seventeen, eighteen year old or whatever.

256
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: And he said it means war and he was serious.

257
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: And that's where we are.

258
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: That's one. And they tried to shut down his factories

259
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: during COVID. And I do think that the combination of

260
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: those two has created a true fixation on destroying the

261
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: woke virus in all of its essence. And we need

262
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: to talk more about this, because I'm just I'm kind

263
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: of blown away. It's rare that I'm surprised. I didn't

264
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: think we would get to the point where the fire

265
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: bombings of car dealerships will be taking place.

266
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: You are listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck.

267
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 4: We're talking about the attacks on Elon and also some

268
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: of what Trump said from the Oval this morning, well

269
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: afternoon morning, was pretty close to being one or the other.

270
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: And it's really interesting to see how Trump is not

271
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 4: backing down at all. And one thing Clay that really

272
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: did come across substantially is that Trump recognizes when these

273
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: judges and these Democrats opposed things like getting elite members.

274
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 4: These are It's not that he's taking Americans who have

275
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: joined a gang and just sent them to some foreign

276
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: prison somewhere. These are non Americans. They are not supposed

277
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: to be in the country in the first place. They're

278
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: illegal aliens who are also part of a violent gang

279
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: that is a designated terrorist organization. They are being sent

280
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: out of the country, and Democrats are going to the

281
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: mat to make sure they have maximum due process rights.

282
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: The same Democrats and I mean the same individuals in

283
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: some cases in the media and the Democrat Party, who

284
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: had no problem with nonviolent j six Americans rotting away

285
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 4: in a DC gulag for a year without trial, are

286
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 4: now really concerned about trend to IRAGUA members. But let's

287
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 4: actually get an update here on the Elon story that

288
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: was running on the New York Times from Undersecretary of

289
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 4: Defense Sean Parnell, who joins us for the first time

290
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 4: on the program, since he has taken that senior Pentagon role.

291
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: Like I feel like I should salute Sean, thank you

292
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: for being with us, and tell us, tell us what

293
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: you can about what happened with the New York Times

294
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: saying Elam was going to get all the China war plans.

295
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 5: It was completely fake. And you want to know what else.

296
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: We had a heads up from the New York Times reporter.

297
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: I should say there's five reporters on it, but by

298
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 5: one of the reporters the night before that they were

299
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 5: planning to write something like that, and this was the

300
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 5: angle that they were going to take. And we told

301
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 5: them last night that it's not true, Like what are

302
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 5: you doing? That's not true? This is completely fake. Yet

303
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 5: they ran with the story anyway. And what's crazy to me, Buck,

304
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 5: is that like this Secretary, Secretary hegset has been working

305
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 5: so hard to put peace through strength, to build up

306
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 5: our force, to work to implement the President's agenda. I've

307
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: been on the bilateral calls with foreign leaders. I've heard him.

308
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 5: I've heard him make the case for peace through strength.

309
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 5: But articles like this that Elon Musk is going to

310
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 5: come to the Pentagon and get a super secret squirrel

311
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: briefing on war plans with potential China, not only does

312
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 5: it undermine the Secretary's you know what his goals and

313
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: ambitions are here, which I think is part of the point.

314
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 5: It also is is it's dangerous. It's dangerous because many

315
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 5: of us took this job, Buck, and I know I

316
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: speak for the Secretary too, because we've got a lot

317
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 5: of kids our job. I think we've got four years

318
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: to get this done, you know as well as I do. Buck.

319
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 5: The operating environment, the threat environment globally is changing rapidly.

320
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 5: We've got to change and evolve our force to meet it.

321
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 5: But we we've got kids that we've got to make

322
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 5: sure that they inherit a world that is better than

323
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: the one that we had, that is more prosperous the

324
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 5: one that we had and is safer, and our articles

325
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 5: like that, like this from the New York Times work

326
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: against that goal, and it just it just makes you

327
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 5: wonder what their motivation is. It's to me, it's just sickening.

328
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: They should retract, not only should they retrack, Sean, congratulations

329
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: on the new job and thank you for the work

330
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: that you're doing there and for hopping on with us.

331
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: Don't you think, Sean, that this had to be coming

332
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: via a leak in some way to the New York Times,

333
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: And if that occurred, wouldn't that be criminal based on

334
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: the method that it was distributed? And given the story

335
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: that's out there about China war plans, what kind of

336
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: investigation can we expect or should take place here?

337
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 5: Well, we're still in the early phases of this, so

338
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 5: we're still trying to wrap our mind around how something

339
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: like this could happen. But yeah, certainly it's it's a leak,

340
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 5: in this case a fake one. So whoever, who the

341
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 5: two anonymous defense officials. I mean, you sit there and

342
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: you read the article from the Times, and you wonder

343
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 5: if these anonymous defense officials are even real people. I

344
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 5: don't know, but thankfully in this regard that the leak

345
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 5: was fake and we were able to control the narrative.

346
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 5: But the fact of the matter is that this, this

347
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 5: is a big building where we do nothing but but plan, plan, plan,

348
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 5: for every contingency. And we can't have you know, anonymous

349
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 5: defense officials passing off, you know, what they think might

350
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 5: be classified information to to reporters who then turn around

351
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 5: in public and publish it. Yeah, that's criminal and and

352
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 5: and I'll tell you there there there have got to

353
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: be consequences for that. So we're still trying to figure

354
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: out how how we approach this. But yeah, I'll tell

355
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 5: you this is, this is on all of our minds

356
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 5: because this isn't this is I mean, there are politics

357
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 5: is behind everything. But what we're dealing with here are

358
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 5: are global national security issues that could affect the safety

359
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 5: of Americans or potentially the safety of Americans. You can't

360
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 5: play with that stuff. So yeah, what I can tell you,

361
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 5: we're definitely looking into avenues that we can you know,

362
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 5: investigates the loaded word, but we've got to do something.

363
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 4: Speaking of Sean Parnell, it's just an under Secretary of

364
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: Defense at the Pentagon formerly as you know, Sean was

365
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 4: a friend of ours here on the Clay and Buck

366
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 4: podcast network, and Sean, just give us a sense of

367
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 4: what some of the top agenda items are right now

368
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: that Secretary of Defense heg Seth, and then you working

369
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: at the Pentagon with the rest of the team there,

370
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: what are some of the top items that you're trying

371
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: to do in terms of reform, in terms of transparency

372
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: and just war fighting efficiency.

373
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 5: Yeah. So I think the top priority for US, Buck

374
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 5: and Clay is defense of the homeland. It's been something

375
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: that both Democrat and Republican regimes over the last twenty

376
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 5: thirty years have probably not been as strong as they

377
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 5: needed to be on this. But you know, we are

378
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 5: very very focused on full operational control of the southern border,

379
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 5: and that means the cartel is not controlling a single

380
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 5: square mile of anything. That means stopping the flow of

381
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 5: Fentanel into our country. It's the number one cause of

382
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 5: death for people in America between eighteen and forty five.

383
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 5: It's absolutely unacceptable. It needed to stop yesterday. I think

384
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 5: we're really focused as well on you know, it is

385
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 5: this This process will be slower, but a real focus

386
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 5: on the end of Pacific and deterring China. What looms

387
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 5: large over many of these these BILAC calls. Don't want

388
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 5: to go into deep on what's the substance of the conversations,

389
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 5: of course, but the rising tide of the CCP is

390
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 5: something that looms large over everything. We recognize. It's something

391
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 5: that we're going to have that we've got to focus on.

392
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 5: It's a challenge for sure. The third I think is

393
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 5: figuring figuring out a way to increase burden sharing with

394
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: our allies. You know, the truth is our allies need

395
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 5: to do more to both protect their nation and protect

396
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 5: protect the so that we don't have to. You know,

397
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: we're always going to be there, We're always going to

398
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 5: step up when we're going to do our part. But

399
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: as I mentioned earlier, the world is changing and evolving rapidly,

400
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 5: and if this country, the world's loan superpower, does not

401
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: change rapidly and evolve with it, bad things will happen.

402
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 5: And so those I think buck are the top three

403
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 5: priorities for us. I think, you know, operationally, but internally

404
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 5: to the force, like we're aggressively assessing standards, trying to

405
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 5: get a sense of maybe how things changed over the years.

406
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: We've removed all the caustic and divisive diversity, equity and

407
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: inclusion nonsense from almost all of our digital platforms, the

408
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 5: climate change insanity, all the electric tanks crap that's done

409
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 5: and gone. At the Pentagon, we're cutting those programs and

410
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 5: reinvesting them into programs that will make us more capable

411
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 5: and lethal. So lots of things that are happening here

412
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 5: at de Penagon in the first two months, and look,

413
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 5: it's going to be pedal to the metal for us

414
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 5: for the next four years because we really, we really

415
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 5: want to change things and we're not going to waste

416
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 5: any time doing it.

417
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Sean. We appreciate you making the time. Buck.

418
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: We still need to get I'm in DC right now,

419
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: but we still need to come hang out with you

420
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: guys at.

421
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: Some point Sean down the line.

422
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: Uh, and make sure we get to tell your story

423
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: from over near the Pentagon.

424
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 5: Oh for sure, now that I'm kind of like more settled,

425
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 5: we can definitely make that happen.

426
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: One hundred percent fantastic. Thank you so much, Sean. Maybe

427
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 4: I don't know, I Play says he's never been on

428
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: an aircraft carry you know what I mean. Maybe we've

429
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 4: got to do some journalism. That would be pretty cool.

430
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: Get him on a helo, get him out to one.

431
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that's a good idea.

432
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 5: We might be able to make that happen too.

433
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: Sounds awesome.

434
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 4: Thank you,
