1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us as we are rolling 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: through the Monday edition of the program. A lot still 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: to continue to get to Buck, I've got some answers 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: to questions if you've ever wondered about what flying on 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: Air Force one is like. I got a chance to 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: do it three different flights. As soon as we finished 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: the show on Friday, I hopped well. I ducked out 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: a little bit early so I could make sure and 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: make the flight. Thanks for holding down shop there to 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: close out Friday's edition, and I will say a bunch 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: of different things. One, no requirement that you buckle your 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: seat belt or be seated on Air Force one. When 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: the President is ready to go, they just go. Food 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: is good. I was impressed. No weights on the tarmac, 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: in case you've ever gotten stuck. Sometimes in the flow 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: of traffic, President gets precedent. So whether wherever you are, 18 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: it's nice you're in the air. Probably five minutes after 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: you have him sit down in his chair, there's pictures up. 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: I was able to talk to him, and I thought 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: the most newsworthy thing that he said, Buck, And there's 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: been a lot of different things that have kind of 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: circled around. But I thought you would find this interesting 24 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: as well, because I certainly did. I asked him about 25 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos in the Washington Post, because Jeff Bezos was 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: at the inauguration the Washington Post when he got elected 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: the first time rights democracy dies in darkness at the 28 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: top of the newspaper, but then they announced that they're 29 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: not going to be endorsing. It seems to me clear 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: that Bezos has finally gotten fed up with the coverage 31 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: from the Washington Post. And I asked Trump about it, 32 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: and here is what he said. Cut nine. Jeff Bezos 33 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: was aureguration. 34 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: It seems like he's trying to make the Washington Post 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: more fair. 36 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: I think it's great. 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: Has he talked to you about the fact that he 38 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 2: thinks because they let Fighten get away with everything when 39 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: he was in office, they started to push him. 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: They came after you like crazy, had length that dog 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: to him about it. He's a good guy. I don't 42 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 3: really know him in the first time. 43 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's such a difference between now in 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 4: the first Yeah, Zuckerber and Bezos and Jensen. 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: I know you helped al kick had a story a 46 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: couple of interviews that we did that were being edited 47 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: that they worked out and they figured out on Facebook 48 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: through Zuckerberg. What has Bezos told you about trying to 49 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: be more fair in his coverage. 50 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 4: Just that, yes, is really trying to be more fair. 51 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 4: They actually did a couple of bad articles that him. 52 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: He said, this is crazy. Yeah, I'm lose a fortune. 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 4: Just thing and they and they, you know, they're out 54 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 4: of control. These people are crazy. They're they're crazy people. 55 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 4: They're out of control. 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: And uh and he's actually a very good guy. I 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: got to know him this second time. He was up. 58 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 3: If you look at the inauguration, I look at the 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 3: people that were on az age. 60 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: There was a loose who of the world that was 61 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 4: totally against me the first time. So much different presidency. 62 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 4: I much more support. 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: Okay, I think that is really kind of important here 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: buck crazy people. Jeff Bezos has told Trump that the 65 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: Washington Post is being run by crazy people. This is 66 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: according to Trump, and I think it has to be 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: true if you just look at the actions that Jeff 68 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: Bezos has undertaken to suddenly try and corral the crazy 69 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: town of the Washington Post. And I think it's reflective. 70 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: At the end, he talked about the cultural change. It's 71 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: seismically different. Right, We're not even seeing the Democrats or 72 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: the legacy media able to really line up and do 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: anything to stop Trump. And in fact, some of the 74 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: people that were the biggest roadblocks, like the Washington Post 75 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: in Jeff Bezos, are now kind of getting on board 76 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: the Trump train. 77 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 5: Well where were they going to go after what they 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 5: had been promising their their side, their audience for years. 79 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 5: I mean, what what do you say at this point? 80 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 5: You have to remember we would we would pop in 81 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 5: and out, we would read the occasional I know you're 82 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 5: you're a New York Times subscriber. I wasn't your time subscriber. 83 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 5: I'm trying to get away from it. But we're not 84 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 5: as steeped in all of the editorials and all of 85 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 5: the coverage that those papers were doing of Trump the 86 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 5: whole time, because we have other things we have to read. 87 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 5: And also, at some point, there's only so much propaganda 88 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 5: that you can stomach. But imagine that you had been steady. 89 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 5: You have been fed this steady diet of Trump is 90 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 5: going to get crushed in these trials. Trump is going 91 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 5: to end up, you know, sentenced for these these criminal wrongdoings. 92 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 5: Trump maybe is going to be financially ruined. That was 93 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 5: another thing they thought they would accomplish in New York 94 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 5: with that absurd Letitia James Uh, you know, corporate fraud trial, 95 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 5: and all of that came to nothing. In fact, it 96 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 5: elevated I think Trump to make sure that he was 97 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 5: going to win the presidency dramatically because people saw what 98 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 5: was going on. So they're they're in total rebuild mode. 99 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 5: I mean, this is this is the the time when 100 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 5: the Democrat Party is trying different things to come up 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 5: with some way to justify its existence to the people 102 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: who have been supporting it for this long, which is 103 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 5: why you have the the Bernie and aoc traveling show 104 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 5: going on right now. You know, they're going around together 105 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 5: and trying to raise money and all of this stuff. 106 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 5: But I think that Trump part, you know, Clay, you 107 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 5: said this, and I believe this is important. There's something 108 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 5: from your interaction with them this time. There's a poise 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 5: and a calm and almost a sense of relaxation that 110 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 5: Trump has. He has defeated the enemy. I mean, you know, 111 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 5: if you think of the media as the primary enemy, 112 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 5: he won. There's no way that that ever changes. 113 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: Now. He goes out a winner no matter what. And 114 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: part of his. 115 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 5: Legacy will be the destruction of the media manipulation machine 116 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 5: that the Democrats had relied on for our entire adult 117 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 5: lives until Trump came along, for our entire lives, not 118 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: just adult lives. 119 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: I also, I've seen Trump say this recently, Buck, I 120 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: hadn't heard it before cut fourteen here. Uh. He talked 121 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: about prevailing to what you're saying against the lawfair against him. 122 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: But he said that his initial read when the when 123 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: the raid at mar A Lago happened was that it 124 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 1: was going to be really bad for his presidential campaign. Uh. 125 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: And then he decided, well, I've got to just roll 126 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: with it. Listen to cut fourteen here. 127 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: Were they attacked or they attacked Mark Yes, and they 128 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 4: invaded it. 129 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: I said, oh boy, this is brutal for my election. 130 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 3: You thought initially he was going to be bad you have. 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: So the one thing I did is I talked to 132 00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: the press. 133 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 4: I had this whatever anything like that happened, these were 134 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 4: crooked people on crooked when they did something like that, 135 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 4: or the indictment, but the indict and not one indictment. 136 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: It's four or five of right, okay, And that led 137 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: to eighty or ninety or because everyone had you know, 138 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: it was a totally rig deal. I would go out 139 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 4: that night and I'd have a news conference. I talk 140 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 4: to the people, and the people realized it was a scam. 141 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 3: It turned out to be a scam. Look with what happened, 142 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: and they're all out. 143 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hear, I said in Air Force one with 144 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: you talking like one of those things. 145 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: It is kind of remarkable where we are. One more thing. 146 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: I asked him Buck whether he thought Kamala should run 147 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: for governor and if he had any advice he would 148 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: give her. Uh. Here was Trump on Kamala's future. Cut too. 149 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: Kamala is talking about running for governor? Would you give 150 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: her any advice as a politician? Do you think she 151 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: should run? Do you think she's gonna do it? What 152 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: do you think her future is? 153 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 3: Just let her run? 154 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: She's she's as far as I don't want to be 155 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: giving people advice politically, but uh, one thing she's gonna do, 156 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: she's got to start doing interviews. 157 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 158 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: I mean you can't get away with both of them. 159 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 4: He Uh, but doing the COVID things he did no interviews, 160 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 4: and he got away with it because of COVID, because 161 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 4: you know, you're able to do things that you could do. 162 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 4: It was a great election, this last one, and I 163 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: do think this. I think it's much more historic the 164 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: way it happened than if I had gone And typically. 165 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: Don't you think in some way it's better because you 166 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: have the Senate in the House now in twenty four, 167 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: you're able to be more effective than you would have 168 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: been in twenty Probably. 169 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: It's better because it shows how bad they were. Yeah, 170 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 3: there was so bad, and it shows that. 171 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 4: And when you see here, you're comparing, you comparing it 172 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 4: to the worst president of the history of our country. 173 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 3: And I think in that way it's better there. 174 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 4: What they were doing didn't work, and if I would 175 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 4: have done it more traditionally, you know, we wouldn't have 176 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 4: known that then. 177 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: Okay, So those cuts you can listen up on up 178 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: on Clay and Buck. But I do think the biggest 179 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: takeaway is he is just reveling in it. Buck in 180 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: a way, to your point, he beat his enemies. I 181 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: gotta tell you when we walked out at the NCAA 182 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Wrestling Championships, which I don't remember anybody ever really talking 183 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: about that much. I mean, he brought the attention with 184 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: him the entire place, standing ovation, chanting USA. It's now 185 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: happened at the super Bowl, It's now happened at the 186 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: Daytona five hundred, and it's now happened at the wrestling Championships. 187 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: Men who are overwhelmingly sports fans. I know a lot 188 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: of you are women sports fans as well, but men 189 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: are behind Trump at a level that I haven't seen 190 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: in a very very long time. Buck, I haven't seen 191 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: anything like this the reception. Yes, well, I can remember 192 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: in previous Republican administrations, including Trump's first, but going back 193 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: to the Bush years, it was a state of siege 194 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 1: day one right away, and they had a lot more 195 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: artillery than we did. They had a lot more voices 196 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: who would come in and tell you all these different 197 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: reasons why this new Republican or this this new new 198 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: administration is terrible for X, Y and Z. And you 199 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: know they're in the case of Bush, you know, he's dumb, 200 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: and Cheney's corrupt, and all these things that they would 201 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: say and put aside whatever you think of the specific criticisms. 202 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: They were able to turn the mood of the country 203 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: sour intentionally as a manipulation as a Republican was in charge. 204 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: This is the first time I've ever seen it where 205 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: they just can't do it. They know they can't do it. 206 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: They no longer have the power, They no longer have 207 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the ability to create some story out of thin air. 208 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: That makes everyone think that there's some doom hanging over 209 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: the country because of the Republican that is in office 210 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: right now, as people have been saying, you know, the 211 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: vibes are the vibes are strong right now in Trump world. 212 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: Things are looking good. There's a lot of challenges ahead, 213 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: and we're very aware of that. There's a lot of 214 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: things that still need to be We're just in the 215 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: opening endia. I mean, there's a lot that needs to 216 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: be done. But this is I've never seen anything like 217 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 1: this before. It's like the Democrat media apparatus has been defanged. 218 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: Still there, but it just doesn't have the same ability 219 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: that it used to. And I think trum Trump not 220 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: only recognizes that Clay Trump is the reason for that. 221 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: They threw They exhausted themselves, like a boxer who's thrown 222 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: so many punches and mysts that eventually just falls to 223 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: the canvas. They exhausted themselves trying to destroy Trump, and 224 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: now it's over for them. I thought it was interesting 225 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: when he said that he thought the initial raid, and 226 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: I think he called it, you know, the attack on 227 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: mar A Lago was going to be really successful for them, 228 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: because I think you and I are initial because I 229 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: remember when this happened. You and I's initial take was, 230 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: we know this is going to be good for Trump 231 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: with the Republicans because people are going to rally around him. 232 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: I think as soon as they rated mar A Lago 233 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: effectively the Republican nomination was over. I think what he 234 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: did a masterful job of was spinning it such that 235 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: the middle of the road voter came to come down 236 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: on his side as opposed to the Biden team side. 237 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: And I think that's where using the media and talking 238 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: every day was ultimately to his benefit in a way 239 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: that I don't think it was clear it would be right. 240 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: Democrats basically thought this will make him unelectable. They ended 241 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: up being wrong, and actually I think got him elected 242 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: and blew up in their faces. Yeah, well, they believe 243 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: that all these things that they would do would make 244 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: him unelectable. Think about It's the biggest political own goal 245 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: in history. I've never seen anything like this. No one's 246 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: ever seen anything like this. 247 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 5: To have used all the powers of the abused powers, 248 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 5: of the prosecutorial arm of the government, of the media apparatus, 249 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 5: of the democrat power in Hollywood, and the culture to 250 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 5: try to destroy someone and actually make them even more 251 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 5: unstoppable is something that nobody could have anticipated. So it 252 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 5: is the most remarkable political comeback in the history of 253 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 5: I think the history of the country. I mean, you 254 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 5: have to go back to like George Washington holding together 255 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 5: the army at Valley Forge for something that really is 256 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 5: so defying the odds. 257 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: It's pretty remarkable. 258 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 5: And I think that Trump now is realizing that he's 259 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 5: able to pursue the agenda in a way where no 260 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 5: matter what the Left says or does. At this point, 261 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 5: he won, and now it's just what can he do 262 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 5: for the country. It really is about what's best for 263 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 5: the country now and not how do I keep the 264 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 5: wolves at bay so I can do the best for 265 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 5: the country. There's still some of that, I get it, 266 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 5: but totally different the White House in the first term. 267 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 5: I remember I were friends with a lot of people 268 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 5: that were a Trump's circle in that White House, and 269 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 5: they were under siege the whole time, and it was 270 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 5: a very different world. People were worried they were going 271 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 5: to get sent to prison. People were worried that, you know, 272 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 5: maybe Trump was going to get impeached or he wasn't peached, 273 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 5: but you know, before it happened, they were concerned what 274 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 5: does that mean? And it has just been an astonishingly 275 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 5: positive thing for the country. I think lay that the 276 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: law Fair failed. If law Fair had worked, I don't 277 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 5: really know if we have I don't really know if 278 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 5: we're operating in a free country anymore with real elections. 279 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 5: I really think that that's a big, a big win 280 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 5: for all of us. 281 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: It would have set the precedent. You always try to 282 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: put your chief political adversary in prison for the rest 283 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: of his life or her life if you're in a 284 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: position of power, which is what happens in Banana republics 285 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: and how they end up collapsing, because if it works, 286 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: that's what happens. 287 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 5: You know, purchasing gold continues to be a priority for 288 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 5: more Americans than ever.

So do you think Oswald 324 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: killed JFK personally? 325 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 3: I do, and I always held that. 326 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, where he was was he helped? And based on 327 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 4: the papers, you know, we released eighty eight as I know, 328 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 4: it was okay, and in fact there was some that 329 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 4: they needed a little more time. Just now we should 330 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 4: go over to the office. We'll show you, yeah to 331 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: so nobody could say they've been released. I think the 332 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 4: papers have turned out to be somewhat unspectacular. 333 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's true, and maybe it's a good thing. 334 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: I tell you, Oh, Buck, the CIA killed Kennedy. Stop 335 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: leaving Oliver Stone. 336 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 5: Conspiracy theories everybody, It's nonsense. I did ask him, maybe 337 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 5: we'll play this when we come back. I asked him 338 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 5: whether he thought the shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania acted alone, 339 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 5: and whether as he released all the JFK files, he's 340 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 5: kind of contemplated how close he came to getting killed. 341 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: Buck. I was at Bedminster on Saturday, and I met 342 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: with a bunch of Trump's buddies up there, and they 343 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: said they still couldn't get over the fact the day 344 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: after he came within a quarter inch of getting his 345 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: head blown out, blown off, they found him just hitting 346 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: golf balls at the UH at Bedminster the next day, 347 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: just chilling. The guy is built different.

Appreciate all of you 368 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: hanging out with us. We're rolling through the Monday edition 369 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: of the program. We're playing some thanks to Caroline Levitt. 370 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: I was on Air Force one over the weekend, talked 371 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: to President Trump surrounding a lot of sports related questions. 372 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: They wanted to hit sports, which is why I was 373 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: at the NCAA wrestling tournament with the President. But you 374 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: just played. I thought it was a good answer the 375 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: RF Sorry the JFK files being released. I also asked 376 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: the President about whether he felt like the shooters acted 377 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: alone when they tried to kill him, both in Butler 378 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: and then he wanted to talk about the other guy 379 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: also at West Palm Beach. It's amazing those stories to 380 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: a large extent, have vanished since Trump won the election. 381 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: But it was only six eight months ago that we 382 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: all had within a quarter inch the president nearly killed 383 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: multiple times. Here he was explaining cut eleven about whether 384 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: he felt the investigations were trustworthy and whether the shooters 385 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: acted alone. 386 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: Do you think back now it's only been eight months 387 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 2: since Butler Pennsylvan, do you think that guy acted alone 388 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: based on what you've seen that crazy man? And do 389 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: you think back to your connection now to JFK, because 390 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 2: think the Lord he missed. But people for the next 391 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: hundred years would have been talking about that like we 392 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: talk about JFK. 393 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 4: It might be anyways, I can't really be sure. 394 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 3: I really can't. 395 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 4: I sure because it bothers me that he had three 396 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: apps and two of them afar and maybe it was 397 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 4: more absent. Yeah, And it bothered me that the other 398 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 4: guy had like eighteen phones. 399 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 3: I thought it was six, but it was at And 400 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 3: the FBI has been very straight with me. 401 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 4: I believe, and I think they weren't at the beginning, 402 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 4: but now I think there was, and they told me 403 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 4: a lot about the case. 404 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 3: I think maybe it won't be. 405 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 4: Able to be determined, but I don't believe it's you know, 406 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 4: it's something cenis to by the FBI. 407 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 3: Hey, Cash, he's going to do a great job. 408 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: So Buck. It is kind of crazy. And again, a 409 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: lot of people didn't focus on this. We did. The 410 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: FBI was simultaneously trying to put Trump in prison for 411 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: the rest of his life and also supposed to be 412 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: investigating who tried to kill him. It was an untenable conflict. 413 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: Now he's got Cash Patel in and he feels confident 414 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 1: that he's going to get the truth with Cash Pattel 415 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: and Dan Bongino, who are the one and two at 416 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: the FBI. But isn't it sort of extraordinary that the 417 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: two men, one of them is dead, but the other 418 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: individual who tried to kill Trump, we still know very 419 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: very little about their overall motivations, and especially the Butler 420 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania guy came within a quarter inch of forever altering 421 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: the trajectory of world history. 422 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 5: Well, you've noticed that there's this trend within the National 423 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 5: security apparatus, or the law enforcement and national security apparatus. 424 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 5: Still don't really know about the Well, we don't know 425 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 5: the trans manifesto from the Nashville domestic terrorist school shooter, right. 426 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: We don't. 427 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 5: We're not allowed to know about that. We still don't 428 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 5: know very much about the Las Vegas mass shooter, mass murderer. 429 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 5: We don't know very much about this. Or the other 430 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 5: would be Trump assassin, I might add, And when it 431 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 5: is someone who does something terrible who puts the media 432 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 5: in a position to blame Trump, which again would be 433 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 5: hard for people trying to assassinate Trump, right, But when 434 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 5: it's somebody who is you're able to blame Trump for 435 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 5: the violence in some way. We know you know, we 436 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 5: know what they were having for lunch, when they were 437 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 5: in kindergarten, you know everything about them. And that just 438 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 5: goes to how much more interested the media is in 439 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 5: getting information out if not because it's in the public 440 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 5: interest broadly speaking, or because they want the truth to 441 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 5: be out there as a general matter, but because it's 442 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 5: about artisan hits, it's about pushing an agenda and attacking. 443 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 5: And so the same is true when they don't think 444 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 5: there's a partisan agenda when they can't shame their political opponents, 445 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 5: or if they want to protect people for political reasons, 446 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 5: as in the case of the trans manifesto. That is 447 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 5: a big That is just a recurring theme that we 448 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 5: see time and time again. 449 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: It is. 450 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: And I would tie it in even with what we're 451 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: seeing happen with Elon Musk right now, where he has 452 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: become the primary target of the antipathy that has been 453 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: built up for Trump. They failed to define Trump, they 454 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: went after him for a decade. Elon buck who is 455 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 1: going to come on the show. We're going to get 456 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: him lined up. He was on the plane as well. 457 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: I talked to him some. He is now the number 458 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: one target of the Democrat Party and their legacy media allies, 459 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: and they're attacking him through the ESLA universe more than 460 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: they're attacking him through his actual protocols, right. I mean, 461 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: he is obviously the CEO of multiple companies, but they're 462 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: going after his companies because he's going after waste and 463 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: fraud in the government, which is really pretty unbelievable. I 464 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: don't know that we've seen a precedent like this. 465 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 5: Well, well used to think that there were things that 466 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 5: could be done in government or things that could be 467 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 5: done for the government that everyone can just agree are 468 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 5: objectively good, right. 469 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you would. 470 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 5: Think that something like getting rid of fraud wasted abuse. 471 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 5: And this is why we played the old clips of 472 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 5: Barack Obama and other Democrats sounding like they're trying to 473 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 5: put together doje Now. The thing is they say it 474 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 5: and don't mean it, meaning they talk about it but 475 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 5: don't Actually they either have not the political will or 476 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 5: the skill set or the interest in doing it, but 477 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 5: they'll talk about it because they know that it's broadly 478 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 5: popular with the American people, and now they're finally doing 479 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 5: something about this. 480 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: Also, this is the thing. 481 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 5: That people don't like Elon to me, meaning because of 482 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 5: what he's doing. 483 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: Right. 484 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 5: I don't mean people that for a long time, maybe 485 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 5: you don't like Tesla or have some problem with Elon. 486 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 5: But for Democrats to suddenly turn on Elon Musk because 487 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 5: of what he's doing means that they care more about 488 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 5: hating Trump than they do about saving the country and 489 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 5: perhaps even the world, by their own admission, which means 490 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 5: that something's wrong with you, right, there's something really off 491 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 5: with your psychology, with your worldview. If hating Trump is 492 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 5: more important than tackling climate change again their view of it, 493 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 5: not my view of it. Or bring the government in 494 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 5: line with the basic accounting standards that you would necessitate 495 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 5: or you would expect at any major corporation. That seems 496 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 5: pretty fair, pretty standard. 497 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 1: I think what it is, and you hit on this 498 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: years ago that climate change is a religion for people 499 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: who don't believe in religion. I think there's a lot 500 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: of truth to that. I also think the twenty five percent, 501 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: because let's talk about the twenty five percent suffering from 502 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome. They have basically made Trump their graven idol. 503 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: Everything spins around what Trump does, and I care about politics. 504 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: It matters to me obviously. I love this job. I 505 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: feel very fortunate to get to talk to you guys. 506 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: But most of what I focus on outside of work 507 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: is my family. Right My three boys keep me very 508 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: very busy. I'm chasing them around, doing a lot of 509 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: different things with them. It seems to me buck like 510 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: many of the most deranged Trump lunatics, they don't have 511 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: anything else in their lives. They aren't really committed to 512 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: anything else. They have allowed their opposition of Trump to 513 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: be number one on their list of obligations and responsibilities. 514 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: It's not faith, it's not family, it's not even their work. 515 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: The way they define themselves is their opposition to Trump, 516 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: and what it ends up creating is oftentimes untenable perspectives 517 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: because if you really bought into climate change, and I 518 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: think these people are crazy, but if you did, then 519 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: Elon should be the biggest hero that has ever existed 520 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: in your life, because no individual has done more in 521 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: theory than Elon Musk. Now we can talk about electric 522 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: vehicles and the challenges and embedded and inherent in them, 523 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: but if you believe that fossil fuels and global warming 524 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: is going to destroy the planet, there's no one who 525 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: has done more to combat that than Elon Musk. And 526 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: now you're throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla's and you're trying 527 00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: to bankrupt this company. They their brains are so broken 528 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: and that I think really what it comes back to 529 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: is Trump is Satan and they really do believe that 530 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: he's Hitler, And I wonder what could Trump come out 531 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: in favor of that they would sud I mean, being 532 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: a buddies with Elon Musk is close to them being 533 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: forced to turn on their most important issues, right, Like 534 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: what could Trump endorse that they would flip on? 535 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 5: Well, I think that a lot of this is rooted 536 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 5: in psychology and not policy. I think that the Democrats 537 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 5: are and this has been a mass conditioning, a sort 538 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 5: of mass mental manipulation that they have gone through or 539 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 5: they have been put through, and they've done it to 540 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 5: themselves in many cases. But we're fighting against emotions. 541 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: Now, Clay. 542 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 5: People that are people that are hateful towards Tesla first 543 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 5: of all, just because you don't like the politics of 544 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 5: the CEO of the company. 545 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: It's not like Tesla is. 546 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 5: All Tesla is doing is things that everybody should think 547 00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 5: is good, especially democrats. Making electric cars cool, advancing the 548 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 5: technology making electric you know, car economy and everything that 549 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 5: it go, the AI and all these things that goes 550 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 5: into it, bringing it deep into the twenty first century, 551 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 5: and building a different future, a more clean energy future for. 552 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: Those who care about that. 553 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 5: Objectively, it's a company that's doing good things that they 554 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 5: should all like. 555 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 4: Right. 556 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 5: This is not a company that is selling you know, 557 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 5: I don't know, cluster bombs to the Third world dictators 558 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 5: and like the company itself is bad. So Elon is 559 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 5: trying to do something in the government that they don't like. 560 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 5: They'll turn on that company. This is based in emotion. 561 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 5: This is childish thinking from them. But I think you 562 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 5: have that with Democrats across the board right now, because 563 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 5: I don't even hear them making arguments. I just hear 564 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 5: them upset about things all the time. They're just upset 565 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 5: about everything. 566 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 3: You know. 567 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: They want. 568 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 5: It's it's always, oh, we want the trend to Aragua 569 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 5: gang members gone too. We just don't like the way 570 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 5: you're doing it. Oh, oh, we want waste, fraud and 571 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 5: abuse out of the government. We just don't like the 572 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 5: way you're doing it, and we think you're hitler for trying. 573 00:29:59,080 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: Right. 574 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 5: We start to see this over and over again. They 575 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 5: actually don't have a better way of doing it. And 576 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 5: what you find yourself realizing is they don't really want 577 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 5: it to be done. They just want what they want 578 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 5: because they're overcome with the emotion of my team versus 579 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 5: your team. Trump wasn't supposed to win everything. I was 580 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 5: told by Fauci and Biden and Kamala and CBS Evening News, 581 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 5: and it was all bull crap. I feel like I'm 582 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 5: moron now, And instead of having the accountability as a party. 583 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 5: The Democrats could have accountability, They could look at themselves 584 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 5: and say what went. 585 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: Wrong with us? It's I don't like you. 586 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 5: I'm mad at you, and I'm going to keep complaining 587 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 5: and throwing tantrums even when you're doing things that I 588 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 5: should say thank you for. 589 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: I just feel like this is the day and day. 590 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 5: Out reality of dealing with Democrats right now. I've seen 591 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 5: by Tim Walls, I'm cheering for Tesla stock to go down. 592 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 5: Oh that's really stupid. Sorry, No, I wasn't cheering. It 593 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 5: was a joke, you see what I mean. We knew 594 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 5: that I was stupid right away, right away. 595 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: This is the lead on Axios that I was talking about, Buck, 596 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: I encourage you. Actually their am newsletter out there. I 597 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: enjoy this. I mean, I understand they're slanted towards the left, 598 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: but I like just seeing what their attempts are. This 599 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: was their head story lead story today. Top Democrats say 600 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: their party is in its deepest hole in fifty years. 601 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: Lowest favorability ever, no popular leader, no ability to do 602 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: anything in Congress, durable minority on the Supreme Court, no 603 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: influence with podcasters and social media accounts, skyrocketing that have 604 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: right leaning perspective, young voters going way more conservative bad 605 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six map Senate retirements making the even harder. Uh, 606 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: there's panic. There's panic out there that like I might. 607 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 5: Have the team or pull that SoundBite from you and 608 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 5: I just might like listen to it once, you know, 609 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 5: once a day. 610 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: You know, that's great. I love I love that. That 611 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: was fantastic. Yeah, it is. Uh, it is pretty Uh, 612 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: it's pretty incredible. Uh. And some of the stats I 613 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: mean are just amazing. I mean, we talked about young 614 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: men voting for Trump on a level greater than seventy 615 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: five year old men. I think that for a lot 616 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: of you out there, we got seventy five year old 617 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: men listening, we got eighteen year old men. I think 618 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: a lot of you out there are like, wow, really, yeah, 619 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: this is what the data is all reflecting. Gender gap exploding. 620 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: But it is, it's really pretty amazing. And Democrats are 621 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: panicked and it's a good time.

Well, they'll probably 657 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 5: have AI write their paper for them, but they'll be 658 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 5: able to take the snow White real snow White ticket 659 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 5: receipts and say, see what a disaster this thing is. 660 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 5: And I think it's indicative of where everything is going. 661 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 5: So we'll get into some of that. Here we go. 662 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 5: We got a Howard in Boca Ratone, a lovely place 663 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 5: where I go meet friends for dinner regularly. 664 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 1: What's going on, Howard? 665 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 3: All right? 666 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 7: So I need a little help countering some statements made 667 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 7: by my liberal friends. May make it. Throw it out 668 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 7: and you give me some more insight. So one statement, 669 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 7: Doge is ruining America, And that's because they're cutting funds 670 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 7: from the NIH and it's taking away from the ability 671 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 7: for us to research for diseases. I'm specifically mentioned MS. 672 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 7: Not sure why that's why connect throw the other one 673 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,720 Speaker 7: or do I want to address that one's first? 674 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 5: Well, I mean sure, the short version is they're looking 675 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 5: at money that is wasted and useless in the endeavors 676 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 5: that they're spending it on. So I would I just 677 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 5: think that overall, it's quite clear the government spends way 678 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 5: too much money and waste way too much money, and 679 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 5: they're trying to stop this. Is it going to be 680 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,959 Speaker 5: one hundred percent perfect. No, But Elon says that whenever 681 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 5: they figure out something is affecting an important program, they 682 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 5: cut back on it. 683 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: Clay, Yeah, I mean what I would say in general is, 684 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people are starting to 685 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: ask these questions, why should the federal government be funding 686 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: research when the research goes to public companies and they 687 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: make the money off and not the government. You're seeing 688 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: a lot of this, and I know, like Columbia, by 689 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: the way, has been the knee on federal funds, but 690 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people had the reaction I did. 691 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: Why does Columbia university need four hundred million dollars in 692 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: taxpayer funds, Like why were we giving them these kind 693 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: of dollars in the first place. And that's not just 694 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: to pick on Columbia. There are lots of universities all 695 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: over the place. So look, I think medical research is important, 696 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: but I think if medical research is occurring, it should 697 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: be for for profit basis. By and large, the government 698 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 1: shouldn't be funding research where private companies get the benefit 699 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: from it. So again, we'll dive into some of this 700 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: and more more on snow White when we come back, 701 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 1: which is going to be the woke disaster
