00:00:07.540
Hope all of you are having fantastic starts to your day.
00:00:11.780
Let's try to make it a little bit better than it otherwise would have been.
00:00:17.080
We have continued plummeting oil and gas prices.
00:00:26.020
Putting it into perspective, around $68 was the price of oil and gas when the war with Iran started at near the end of February.
00:00:39.400
$3 a gallon gas is coming sooner rather than later.
00:00:54.560
stocks on the Dow setting another record high today going over 52,000 on the Dow S&P 500 mixed
00:01:04.580
but again biggest story in terms of how your pocketbook is going to be impacted oil and gas
00:01:11.800
back down to $75 a barrel $3 on average gallon of gas is on the way and it will be there I believe
00:01:21.800
by the fall it will take some time but you will see those numbers on your local gas stations
00:01:28.440
plummeting rapidly i was driving around near my house saw a three dollar and fifty cent uh gallon
00:01:37.220
of gas starting to appear uh all over the uh suburban nashville area uh and i believe that
00:01:44.800
much of that is going to continue all over the country even in california things will go back
0.99
00:01:50.540
to being comparatively affordable unfortunately for you those of you in california the morons
0.98
00:01:56.380
running your state insist that you pay several dollars oftentimes more per gallon than the
0.98
00:02:02.260
average in the rest of the country um so we're going to continue to follow all of that uh there's
00:02:08.220
also been there's a drone plot and charges that have been brought surrounding uh ufc 250 we kind
00:02:16.080
have touched on that a little bit that is the white house fight that happened uh on sunday night
00:02:20.860
we may get into that during the course of the program a bit but i wanted to start with this
00:02:26.800
um as we are sitting and uh beginning the show here spacex is right now the they had the biggest
00:02:36.200
stock offering in the history of the united states on uh friday company went public spacex stock is
00:02:45.420
right now uh right around two hundred and four two hundred and thirteen dollars a share company
00:02:51.300
went public i believe at 135 it has now got a market cap of 2.79 trillion one of the biggest
00:03:00.200
companies in the world there's a lot of optimism surrounding it and elon musk on friday when this
00:03:07.720
company went public he has around roughly half of overall spacex equity and so he became a
00:03:14.720
trillionaire when this company went public and there were a lot of reactions on Friday I wasn't
00:03:20.480
on with you I was traveling I was taking my 11 year old to the U.S. versus Paraguay soccer match
00:03:27.780
but I was following the stories I was actually flying from Florida to LA and I had Fox Business
00:03:33.880
up on the screen in front of me because I wanted to kind of follow the story of SpaceX and I was
00:03:39.480
also on my phone and i was watching what was being said and i thought as spacex went public
00:03:46.260
on friday we actually got a perfect window into what the two respective parties stand for
00:03:55.160
and there were a lot of different senators upset on the democrat side who were attacking elon musk
00:04:02.560
but i grabbed one of them because he's been in the news so much graham plattner who is now the
00:04:08.580
nominee for the Democrat Party. He's got a sorted background. I'm sure we'll be talking about it a
00:04:13.580
lot. Buck and I will between now and when we actually get to the midterms. Buck, by the way,
00:04:20.340
out with his family again today. He is scheduled to be back on Thursday. So you got me today and
00:04:26.380
tomorrow as well. And I think Buck will be back with us on Thursday. I, by the way, will be up
00:04:31.020
in D.C. on Wednesday and Thursday. So I'll be in our D.C. studios there. But Graham Plattner tweeted,
00:04:37.520
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire let's make sure he's also the last
00:04:47.180
now there's obviously an implicit threat here because unfortunately in this era in which we
00:04:54.520
live there are a great deal of threats that are constantly being levied against many people
00:05:00.300
that are on the right even though elon voted for uh hillary clinton i believe he may have voted
00:05:08.840
i'm pretty sure that he voted for joe biden elon didn't vote republican until 2024 he is just on
00:05:16.400
the path that actually a lot of you out there are on the one that i was on buck was uh super
00:05:23.000
conservative when he was 12 I was not it took me actually going through what life is like and then
00:05:31.580
frankly COVID radicalized me in a way that I still am not comfortable with what happened in COVID
00:05:40.280
I'm still angry about it but I would say I was several years ahead of the path that Elon Musk
00:05:46.560
himself has ended up on and that frankly many of you listening to us right now have been have gone
00:05:52.980
through and been on but Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire let's make sure
00:05:59.040
he's also the last so let's just pretend that there isn't an implicit threat against Elon there
00:06:05.020
and let's just focus on what Graham Plattner said because I think it's illustrative of the
00:06:10.400
modern democrat party and it's very important to think about it uh the context here we should want
00:06:17.420
tons of trillionaires when i see that elon musk became the world's first trillionaire
00:06:24.740
i talked to my oldest son who is very entrepreneurial and elon musk is in many ways
00:06:32.560
his idol his hero his aspirational figure in the public eye that he would look up to
00:06:38.720
and he said boy i would like to be a trillionaire one day should it we want elon musk to be the
00:06:47.300
first of many trillionaires i think it's an extraordinary success story that elon musk
00:06:54.760
decided hey i want to spend send rockets to space better than anyone ever has before in the history
00:07:04.800
of mankind i think i can build a company that is better at sending rockets to space than nasa is
00:07:12.300
and he did it despite the fact that nasa had around a 70 some odd year head start on him
00:07:19.340
he also redesigned the way that we propel cars with electric awesome i told you i bought a tesla
00:07:28.460
i love it i let it self-drive me i let it self-drive my family i drove to knoxville
00:07:33.780
tennessee recently i was talking about how awesome bucky's uh is i stopped and plugged in
00:07:40.040
and charged my Tesla at the crazy buckies that all the European visitors are just blown away
00:07:48.060
by how incredible it is. The Democrat Party in general, they want to look at the world
00:07:56.220
as one big pie that is not growing. And they just want to take from others.
00:08:05.540
meanwhile the elon musks of the world and i think many of you out there and certainly
00:08:12.880
i would put myself in this category we want to build a bigger pie we believe that the way for
00:08:20.560
everyone to have a better life is not to be envious of the existing pie and reallocate the
00:08:27.760
slices as if there's never going to be any more i'm going to take what i get you are not able
00:08:34.900
to ever get it's a constant battle for uh resources that are never growing what the
00:08:42.380
republican party looks at is says we should we should make bigger pies everyone in the entire
00:08:49.060
country should get a bigger slice of prosperity the way we do that is by growing and the democrat
00:08:57.660
party is very fixed they have this idea that all of the wealth that's ever going to exist
00:09:05.620
is here now and it's just a big fight over that limited pile how do we reallocate the resources
00:09:12.660
and i i also think there's just a poor job of communication in general that republicans do
00:09:20.900
some people will say elon musk got a trillion dollars he's greedy why is it greedy to want to
00:09:29.900
keep your money but it's not greedy to try and take someone else's money
00:09:35.540
it's really interesting when you think about it from a communication perspective
00:09:41.560
isn't it we out there who see Elon Musk as the first trillionaire and think boy I hope there's
00:09:51.520
tons of kids out there that look at the economic success that Elon Musk has done and they think to
00:09:58.400
themselves I want to do that too if Elon can do it maybe one day I can do it too seeing someone
00:10:08.300
do something spectacular is often what propels other humans to engage in incredible success.
00:10:16.660
There's a lot of examples of this, but one of my favorite is Roger Bannister. Nobody could break
00:10:23.020
a four-minute mile. Roger Bannister finally did it. As soon as Bannister did it, a bunch of other
00:10:31.240
people did too. Why? Because the belief that you could do it, once you saw someone do it,
00:10:41.500
many people out there thought, oh, I can do that too. Aspiration, seeing success is a huge part
00:10:51.380
of being successful. I've written five books. When I was a kid, I used to go into bookstores
00:10:59.040
and I would go to the section of the bookstore where my last name was
00:11:05.380
and I would think, oh, that's where my book would be on the bookshelves.
00:11:13.780
I would go down right through and I would think one day my book is going to be right here.
00:11:21.320
Visualizing and believing in success is a huge part of being successful.
00:11:27.460
taking your kids to go to a book signing like my mom and dad did back in the day
00:11:34.800
seeing an author oh he did this oh she did this i can do this too one day
00:11:41.980
democrats look at the success of elon musk and they think we must take from him and give to
00:11:50.360
others republicans see the success of elon musk and they think and i hope you're raising your
00:11:56.140
kids and your grandkids like this you could do this too one day Graham Plattner says let's make
00:12:02.920
sure he's the last trillionaire I think let's make sure that Elon Musk is the first of many
00:12:09.360
trillionaires I would love if a generation from now there were 30 American trillionaires or 40
00:12:17.720
or 50 or a thousand because if there are a ton of trillionaires in the United States
00:12:24.420
then our economy is expanding like crazy, and that pie is growing,
00:12:29.660
and everybody is going to have the ability to have more.
00:12:42.380
Frankly, we need more politicians who have an entrepreneurial mindset
00:12:46.460
and think about building instead of merely reallocating that which is already built.
00:12:53.820
And so I don't know how many people have seen these quotes and really thought about them in depth, but I think it's a perfect distillation of where the parties are.
00:13:08.580
We want to create an opportunity for others to build as Elon Musk has built.
00:13:19.180
And I thought on Friday, as we saw Elon Musk become the first trillionaire, how people responded to that is actually a perfect window into the souls of the party.
00:13:32.480
All right, we'll open up phone lines, by the way, 800-282-2882.
00:13:36.980
We will also continue to roll through, keep you updated on everything having to do with Iran.
00:13:42.720
And we'll continue to follow, hopefully, Elon Musk's path onto multi-trillionaire status.
00:13:49.040
But I want to tell you, if you are like me and you have run small businesses in your life, if you have been involved in the past in having to deal with so many different challenges, I mean, my goodness, I know exactly what you are going through and how challenging that can be.
00:14:06.460
Super sure handles all of your insurance needs.
00:14:09.580
It is going to be a very, very easy to follow concept.
00:14:15.820
And if you're out there right now and you're like, man, I got so many insurance policies.
00:14:21.020
I don't even know if I'm paying the right amount.
00:14:23.020
I don't even know if I've got the right coverage because there's so many different moving parts.
00:14:31.560
If you've got 25 or more employees, this is right in your wheelhouse.
00:14:38.540
One powerful platform, one super agency, supersure.com slash clay.
00:14:44.680
They will let you know, do you have the right insurance coverage?
00:14:55.580
One super agency, one powerful platform, supersure.com slash Clay.
00:15:07.880
Every day in Ontario, a shelter worker will help someone fleeing violence.
00:15:14.220
A support worker will help a person with disabilities live a full life in their community.
00:15:19.060
They and countless other workers show up for Ontarians every single day.
00:15:23.780
But the Ford government's cuts have left workers with no choice but to go on strike.
00:15:28.040
Today, workers are on the picket lines fighting for their communities and the services we all depend on.
00:15:35.300

00:15:43.340
he's out with his family for the next several days means you and me and all of us are hanging
00:15:49.460
out together and we are having a good old time so far we're going to be joined by nicole parker here
00:15:57.760
in a moment a couple of different things that are going on president trump remains in france
00:16:04.240
meeting with the g7 we have collapsing oil and gas prices down to about 75 a barrel what does
00:16:12.960
that mean for you that means that the average price of oil and gas uh will be soon back down
1.00
00:16:21.240
to around three dollars and fifty cents a gallon on average across the nation uh again that's on
00:16:28.160
average you might pay more or less depending on what state you are in but that is going to be
00:16:33.820
moving rapidly back towards the three dollar a gallon average that the price of oil and gas was
00:16:40.560
trending uh towards right about time the war in iran started so uh that is economic relief that
00:16:48.140
is coming in your direction as those have continued to come down we wait for further details
00:16:53.180
on the iran deal overall i would point out to you that it is remarkable how when oil and gas prices
00:17:00.640
come down cnn and msnbc which have had regular tickers of oil and gas prices going up suddenly
00:17:09.260
remove that storyline from their overall uh television network uh we bring in now nicole
00:17:16.500
parker former fbi agent she's been on several times there's a big news story out that up to
00:17:23.400
i believe the number is 15 different individuals uh were involved in a plot to try to attack
00:17:31.600
the ufc 250 event that took place on sunday night at the south lawn of the white house
00:17:37.620
uh nicole you were there uh let's start with what these uh accusations are and uh and then we'll get
00:17:45.760
into what the event itself was like what can you tell us about the information that is out there so
00:17:50.960
far sure so first of all uh the sbi and law enforcement learned of this alleged spot on june
00:17:58.180
10th for the event uh the usc 250 event which took place on june 14th so there wasn't a lot
00:18:04.420
of time in that short window between the 10th and the 14th. And this is a huge, I commend law
00:18:09.900
enforcement for acting very swiftly. So far, five individuals have been arrested. It involved 12
00:18:16.060
FBI divisions across the country. So this is not just limited to one area. Two of the individuals
00:18:20.960
that were known of in the arrest affidavit are from the state of California. One is from Ohio,
00:18:24.980
and they have not yet released information on the other two individuals. But they did,
00:18:29.880
they acted very swiftly on this. And through the course of the investigation and executing a search
00:18:34.340
warrant. It was discovered on one of the suspect's iPhones, a chat signal involving signal and 23
00:18:41.380
individuals were involved in this. And we're talking about this alleged plot. So the prime
00:18:48.820
target was obviously the White House, the 250th birthday of the United States. This is a high
00:18:55.220
profile celebration. And so again, it's a target rich environment for those that want to wreak
00:19:00.980
havoc and caused harm on Americans. And frankly, they were charged with conspiring to murder
00:19:06.580
people. These individuals wanted to kill individuals that were there to celebrate
00:19:10.200
America's 250th birthday at the UFC fight. So again, you've got to think about it. It's an
00:19:15.000
iconic location being the White House. Very large group of people, 4,000 on the White House lawn and
00:19:21.740
another 80,000 at the Ellipse. There were a huge number of military in attendance, okay? These are
00:19:28.100
the post-patriotic warriors you're going to find in our nation and so it's highly symbolic this is
00:19:33.540
the heart of freedom it's the white house it's the military it's america's 250th birthday so make no
00:19:38.820
mistake about it this was very well planned a lot of thought went into this a lot of preparation
00:19:44.980
and again it was happened to be trump's birthday as well so this these individuals who plotted
00:19:50.260
this thought you know this is going to be a place where it symbolizes capitalism billionaires i
00:19:54.740
I saw Mark Zuckerberg there myself, you know, people that they did not want to see celebrating.
00:20:00.580
And there's also word out there that they believe that Epstein was involved in that.
00:20:04.540
You know, these elites in America are protecting Epstein and they wanted to get back at those individuals.
00:20:09.260
And so they literally planned to kill these individuals.
00:20:13.720
Again, the extensive planning, they took explosives.
00:20:16.860
They planned to take explosive laden drones and attack the nearby buildings in the vicinity.
00:20:21.440
and then that would trigger a mass evacuation with people running to get out,
00:20:27.160
bottlenecking individuals, and so they knew where those sniper zones would be.
00:20:30.780
So first they would attack the nearby buildings with the drones.
00:20:34.760
So the snipers would come in and target those individuals, shoot them,
00:20:38.800
and then these individuals plan to storm the White House gates
00:20:47.380
that they had planned to go to Fredericksburg, Virginia on June 12th and June 13th, leading up
00:20:53.220
to the event. And I think what's very important to know in this instance, there were relatives,
00:21:00.460
family members of those that were planning this, who got word that their loved one may have been
00:21:05.500
involved in planning a various act in Washington, D.C., and they've reported it to law enforcement.
00:21:10.920
How much, Nicole, do you think we should be concerned? I mean that.
00:21:15.200
How much, Nicole, do you think we should be concerned about the idea of drone attacks in general?
00:21:21.080
Much of the, I think it's fair to say, security apparatus surrounding the White House and surrounding all of our people in prominent positions has been predicated largely on gun attacks.
00:21:36.520
now that the drone technology has become so advanced we have to kind of begin to prepare
00:21:43.120
for the fact that new attacks may come in a variety of ways including via drone correct i
00:21:50.280
believe that again in my time at the fbi it was ramping up in my opinion to be one of the top
00:21:54.920
number one threats because you can attach anything to a drone you can uh explosive devices you can
00:21:59.420
even attack a firearm you can use so much from a drone and again this was an outdoor space area
00:22:04.740
obviously drones are a serious threat and a concern to law enforcement the fbi is all over
00:22:10.580
they've come out with new technology to be able to detect the drones stop the drones um and you
00:22:15.640
know we're looking at ufc 250 we're looking at all of the 250 celebrations so we're also looking at
00:22:20.680
all the world cup those are all outdoor stadiums these huge soccer arenas that are taking in
00:22:25.420
millions of people so you ask a very important and poignant question drones are at the top of
00:22:30.420
a list of things that could wreak absolute havoc be destructive and frankly harm and kill individuals
00:22:36.420
and so it's important for law enforcement to be 100 steps ahead of that and to be able to detect
00:22:41.740
this and to stop it before it happens thankfully in this instance again like i said a family member
00:22:46.460
a relative heard about a potential accident their loved one was going to carry out they reported it
00:22:51.140
to law enforcement and they acted swiftly and quickly and they were able to foil this plot
00:22:55.960
You were fortunate that they were able to stop it.
00:23:03.920
As someone who has been to a lot of big sporting events,
00:23:06.760
I've been to a lot of them, you've been to a lot.
00:23:13.320
I have been to the World Series, NBA Finals, the Masters, the U.S. Open,
00:23:23.120
I would. I would say the energy, the enthusiasm, the vibe, the location, it was the most epic thing
00:23:31.400
I've ever experienced. I'd never been to a UFC fight before. It exceeded my expectations in
00:23:37.560
every possible way. But when I went to that event, I knew going into it, again, I'm an agent. So
00:23:44.100
once an agent, always an agent. It's not that I'm a paranoid individual, but I'm smart. I keep my
00:23:48.320
head on the swivel and I'm aware of all the threats that could be going on. I knew that this could be
00:23:52.000
a very, you know, high target environment for potential attacks. I always know how I'm going
00:23:59.500
to get out of there if something happens. And again, that's not living in fear. That's actually
00:24:03.980
being smart. You've got to have your head on the swivel. You've got to know your environment,
00:24:07.240
how you're going to get out of there and what you're going to do. But it was incredible. There
00:24:11.560
were amazing warriors there. Like I said, there were first responders, law enforcement, military,
00:24:16.620
just the energy it's unmatched the live band the the music the fights themselves um i thought it was
00:24:25.140
absolutely epic iconic and like i said probably the most powerful sporting event i've ever
00:24:31.160
experienced in my life that is awesome um nicole we appreciate the time and uh look forward to
00:24:39.000
to having you back on when uh other of these charges potentially come down absolutely my
00:24:44.600
pleasure and everyone be safe god bless america thank you thank you that's nicole parker former
00:24:50.680
fbi agent let me hit a couple of your calls here as we get ready to go to break some of you been
0.83
00:24:55.840
waiting uh karen in salt lake city what you got for us karen i just think these liberals forget
00:25:03.420
about the entrepreneurs and how they invest in the communities i mean here in salt lake city we
00:25:10.140
have the john huntsman center at the university of utah campus we have echo centers all over the
00:25:15.560
place for theaters and the arts larry miller i was working at the salt lake community center
00:25:22.200
and i was working with the liberal he didn't even get the fact that he was employed at a place that
00:25:28.600
an entrepreneur had built and donated the salt lake uh community centers the delta center the
00:25:36.320
Maverick Center. I mean, you think of everything that would be missing if we didn't have these
00:25:41.040
entrepreneurs that were donating to the community. Thank you for the call. I think that is a fantastic
00:25:47.740
point. And I have not seen a lot written about that yet. But as many of these individuals with
00:25:55.300
huge amounts of wealth that they are going to make associated with SpaceX, as many of them go
00:26:01.400
through the process of selling their stock in addition to paying substantial amounts of tax
00:26:08.220
roughly 20 some odd percent capital gains tax for most of this many of them are going to make
00:26:14.080
huge charitable donations the likes of which many people are not even comprehending i mean go back
00:26:21.420
to the day stanford was a uh was a huge uh entrepreneur vanderbilt the cornelius vanderbilt
00:26:30.360
You go back and look at when these universities were founded and what the impact of some of the dollars have been for generations.
00:26:45.820
It's not the government that spends money effectively.
00:26:49.920
Unfortunately, the government wastes a lot of the money.
00:26:52.060
But many of these entrepreneurs then embody an entrepreneurial mindset when they think of how to make donations.
00:27:06.180
and I think Jeff Bezos said this recently in a CNBC interview.
00:27:12.300
He said, we have to consider that building these companies
00:27:15.540
is in many ways a generational gift that is being made to the American public.
00:27:26.620
Right now, while I'm talking to you, when I go to this commercial break, I can go on and basically order anything on the planet Earth and it will be delivered to my house in the space of a day.
00:27:40.700
I don't have to get into a car. I don't have to drive anywhere that we thankfully have people to deliver these packages.
00:27:48.880
The amount of jobs that have been created there is huge.
00:27:52.220
But think about the efficiency of Jeff Bezos' creation
00:27:55.880
and how much time and energy and effort it has saved so many people across America.
00:28:03.440
I mean, for those of you out there that have babies,
00:28:07.040
think about suddenly you know you're going to need diapers,
00:28:10.140
you're tired, you're laying in bed, and you're thinking to yourself,
00:28:18.880
Boom, you can get formulas sent right to your house.
00:28:23.940
There's a decent chance when you wake up the next morning,
00:28:32.100
I'm incredibly optimistic about what unleashing the entrepreneurial spirit of America
00:28:39.360
is really going to create in the next generation.
00:28:44.580
and the result is going to be everybody is going to have more
00:28:54.740
If, unfortunately, we let the Graham Plattners and the Elizabeth Warrens
00:29:00.500
and the AOCs and the Bernie Sanders of the world come and try to take from them,
00:29:05.540
I want to come back to the example I gave you about Elon with PayPal.
00:29:09.080
Imagine if we had draconian capital gains taxes
00:29:25.460
and build a company that's worth trillions of dollars.
00:29:28.940
Get out of the way and let individual excellence,
0.98
00:29:33.460
people who build jobs and build wealth, let them cook.
00:29:38.580
When we come back, I'll take some more of your calls.
00:29:41.840
and i'll dive into a bit maybe before the show is over about the testimony that that i gave last
00:29:48.200
week uh on in dc that's why i was out on wednesday i was in the middle of two and a half hours of
00:29:53.740
testimony during the course of the program i was just talking about amazon hard to imagine being

00:30:44.900
preset your pals clay and buck on the iheart app welcome back in our number three tuesday edition
00:30:51.960
clay and buck appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the program
00:30:56.880
buck will be back on thursday he's out with his family for a few days so i'm hanging out with you
00:31:02.520
guys for the rest of this show as well as tomorrow i will be up in washington dc tomorrow uh for
00:31:10.080
wednesday and thursday uh news right off the top here in the third hour price of oil and gas has
00:31:16.880
plummeted as we await further details on the iran peace agreement down to 75 dollars a barrel on the
00:31:25.800
july 26th crude futures going forward to contextualize that for all of you uh 68 dollars
00:31:34.260
was the price of oil and gas in the world when we went into iran on the first place
00:31:42.040
at that point in time the price of oil and gas was around three dollars a gallon it will soon be
00:31:49.080
back down to below four dollars a gallon and you will soon i believe based on these prices be paying
00:31:56.440
around three dollars and fifty cents a gallon on average so the storyline of oil and gas prices are
00:32:04.720
going to destroy president trump it's given up the ghost how do i know that because on cnn am and
00:32:11.560
msnbc there now is virtually zero discussion whatsoever about anything having to do with
00:32:19.460
the price of oil and gas but for those of you out there that have been supremely concerned about
00:32:26.060
that and i know there are very many of you that storyline is collapsing spacex we talked about
00:32:33.280
this off the top awesome story spacex up again today it is approaching three trillion dollars
00:32:40.120
in market value one of the great all-time american capitalistic success stories and i started off the
00:32:47.580
program discussing the fact that graham platner said elon musk this is from friday uh but friday
00:32:54.300
afternoon elon musk just became the world's first trillionaire let's make sure he's also the last
00:32:59.600
and to me the success story of elon musk is emblematic of what is the most amazing about
00:33:06.460
america in general which is the pioneer spirit the frontier dynamic the idea that we can build
00:33:12.800
things that have never been built before and i want to build a little bit with that in mind
00:33:17.120
on what i was saying off the open uh that there are takers and there are builders in the world
00:33:23.640
and the democrat party essentially is a taker based community they believe that everything
00:33:30.380
is fixed out there and they have a right to take from others and give and redistribute that wealth
00:33:36.640
as they see fit the other dynamic that is i think characteristic of the republican party is the
00:33:43.500
builder dynamic and i spend a lot of time thinking about this now because i think it's so consequential
00:33:49.040
and so significant um what are you building i think this is something that all of us can think
00:33:56.900
about every single day what are you building are you building a better version of yourself
00:34:04.100
are you taking individual responsibility to build a better version of your family
00:34:07.760
are you building things physically are you building things mentally what are you creating
00:34:13.460
that is better than it was the day before elon musk is the greatest builder of companies
00:34:21.600
in the history of the world i don't think that's hyperbole um if you look at what he has done with
00:34:29.540
tesla if you look at what he has done with spacex he is 53 years old i believe and i would imagine
00:34:36.860
that he feels like he has another good 10 15 20 years of building that he is going to be able to
00:34:43.980
accomplish he has fundamentally changed the world for the better in my opinion now uh think about
00:34:51.700
what he took on i i just think his story is crazy but i don't think it's being talked about enough
00:35:01.680
this is a kid who came here from south africa who started with virtually nothing
00:35:08.820
who made $100 million, and this to me is the most interesting part
00:35:21.340
And I think if we had Elon on the program right now,
00:35:28.000
So you would kind of expect a guy in his 20s who gets rich,
00:35:34.320
He wrecked that expensive car, nearly killed himself,
00:35:41.380
But then at some point in time, he did something interesting.
00:35:44.260
He said, I'm not just going to tap out with my $100 million.
00:35:48.500
And think about how easy it would be if you had $100 million to just say,
00:35:56.940
I'm just going to live a hedonistic lifestyle now.
00:36:00.820
$100 million, you invest it, just conservatively,
00:36:04.960
it can throw off five six million seven million dollars a year pretty easy and you don't even
00:36:11.620
hardly have to touch your principal i think most of you out there could say hey for six million
00:36:16.800
dollars clay i could live a pretty good lifestyle i could live a pretty easy lifestyle
00:36:21.360
elon musk wasn't willing to do that because he had pioneer spirit frontier dna fearlessness built
00:36:29.540
inside of him he said i'm gonna put the whole hundred million and i'm gonna do a rocket company
00:36:37.300
and there's an article i was reading the other day one of his best friends said all of their
00:36:42.420
friends got together and sat around and told elon you're crazy this is a really bad idea
00:36:49.040
you're not going to be able to build rockets better than nasa has built rockets
00:36:56.500
and elon was frustrated there's a story he went to russia to try to buy a rocket because he wanted
00:37:03.620
to try to get to mars and seed mars with plants to try to create a uh a thriving environment a
00:37:12.520
new biodome this is more complicated certainly than i can get into the logistics scientifically
00:37:18.020
but there was no rocket ship to buy and so they had to decide okay what are we going to do
00:37:27.140
what is the solution here and so they decided we're going to build a new rocket
00:37:38.000
now think about how amazing that is nasa has built all these rockets
00:37:45.160
everyone out there has had no success basically the entire space program has been frozen
00:37:54.880
since we went to the moon elon has a hundred million dollars he says i'm gonna put all this
00:38:02.120
into the center of the table and i'm gonna risk it all and oh by the way while we're doing this
00:38:10.220
i'm also going to get involved with tesla and i'm going to try to create the first successful
00:38:18.980
american car company in something like 80 years other than gm chrysler and ford all of them had
00:38:27.440
gone bankrupt there hadn't been a successful american new car company in forever
00:38:32.580
and he took such a risk that it wasn't very long ago both of those companies were on the very edge
00:38:44.980
of going bankrupt he had to pull every possible stop out there in order to avoid not just one
00:38:53.840
company but both going completely bankrupt and he even said that he thought when he started
00:39:01.940
spacex i think maybe we got a 10 chance of succeeding the first i believe it was three
00:39:08.420
rockets that spacex tried to launch all of them exploded and failed and he said if the fourth i
00:39:17.800
believe this is true team if you can look this up i believe the story is he said if the fourth
00:39:22.220
doesn't work we're going to have to shut down the entire company and there's a photo of elon
00:39:30.140
sitting next to the exploded shrapnel of his rocket,
00:39:53.580
to such an extent that he powered through all of those failures
00:39:59.800
And right now, he is the most successful entrepreneur in the history of capitalism, in the history of the world.
00:40:12.460
When SpaceX went public on Friday, he created 4,400 new millionaires and 400 hundred millionaires.
00:40:26.640
that either themselves had become millionaires or they knew millionaires.
00:40:30.760
And I'm not talking about kids that all went to MIT and Harvard and Princeton.
00:40:37.120
A lot of the people that became millionaires don't even have college degrees.
00:40:48.380
the Democrat response, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren,
00:40:52.340
Graham Plattner, the main Senate nominee, tweeted,
00:40:59.820
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.
00:41:06.220
Let's make sure he's the last supremely successful person ever in the world.
00:41:22.340
We're not all going to build trillion-dollar companies.
00:41:26.500
But we can all build successful foundations, family, your own business, your own life.
00:41:37.620
Are you building a healthier culture for yourself?
00:41:41.500
To me, the Republican Party is the party of builders.
00:41:46.920
it's the party that embraces success risk-taking fearlessness pushing all your chips into the
00:41:55.800
table and saying i'm going to do something that has never done been done before i think the elon
00:42:03.580
musk story is one of the greatest stories in the history of the united states the fact that he is
00:42:10.920
being attacked I think is a failure of American entrepreneurial spirit but also of the American
00:42:20.860
media itself when someone like Graham Plattner says Elon Musk just became the world's first
00:42:29.980
trillionaire let's make sure he's also the last what they're actually saying is America is finished
00:42:36.340
because if we are not creating more trillionaires in the future, capitalism has failed.
00:42:44.040
Democrats see the United States as a finished product
00:42:48.060
and all of the wealth that we have created as a fixed pie that must be distributed.
00:42:55.600
Republicans see this country as a work in progress
00:42:59.520
and an opportunity for more growth that can then be the rising tide that lifts all boats.
00:43:08.120
One of the things that frustrates me is I think the Republican Party does an oftentimes awful job
00:43:14.880
actually telling the story of American spirit, entrepreneurialism,
00:43:19.780
and the fact that we all have risk-taking DNA inside of us because no matter how we ended up here,
00:43:26.220
we were descended from people who survived long trips on ships and many of those people
00:43:35.260
made the decision to step onto a ship and leave behind everything they had ever known before
00:43:40.260
to go to a wild new land and that my friends is what we are celebrating this year the fact that
00:43:47.300
we are all the product of incredible strivers of which Elon Musk's striving is maybe the
00:43:55.940
greatest success story that's ever been told on the shores of america and so every time i look
00:44:01.780
and see when i go into my stock charts and i see that tesla is a multi-trillion dollar company
00:44:10.940
i just think my goodness what an amazing country we live in i hope that there are dozens hundreds
00:44:19.740
thousands of young kids out there all endeavoring to build their own trillion dollar company
00:44:25.740
right here in the greatest country in the world and i hope you and me and most of us are probably
00:44:32.880
not going to be building the trillion dollar companies but i hope that we are instilling
00:44:38.120
in our kids using elon musk as an example that one day you could be contrary to what
00:44:44.760
graham platner is saying the next elon musk your brother your sister could your kids might be able
00:44:52.020
to do it your grandkids might be able to do it god willing wouldn't that be amazing if instead
00:44:58.100
of graham plattner saying let's make sure elon musk's the last what if we all endeavored to make
00:45:04.300
sure that there are hundreds if not thousands more of elon musk in the decades to come we'll
00:45:10.440
take some of your calls and continue to talk back uh i got some funny stories for you the splc
00:45:15.400
southern poverty law center has been paying a million dollars to nazis uh also we have a guy
00:45:21.220
who was supposedly a huge white supremacist who burned a cross in chicago turns out he actually
00:45:27.640
hates trump and he was burning the cross to try to send a message about how much he hates trump
00:45:31.620
major league baseball player controversy in san francisco and georgia voting all going on i'm
00:45:37.260
going to get into all that before we finish this final hour of the program but i want to tell you

00:47:26.080
going on um i'm gonna send this clip i'm not sure how much of it we can get in but it will
00:47:33.760
definitely put a smile on your face of a in texas a uh japanese guy getting interviewed
00:47:41.840
as he gets ready to go in and root for japan to win but i did want to share this story with you
00:47:48.780
because jd vance just tweeted about it uh a short while ago and i tweeted about it yesterday
00:47:54.220
we're in june and when we're in june we know what june means uh it is pride month and so there is
00:48:02.620
so much discussion surrounding gay pride everything else a lot of sports teams decide
00:48:12.740
that they're going to wear gay pride uniforms and the San Francisco Giants probably not a huge
00:48:19.740
surprise given the huge gay population in San Francisco I believe it was just a couple days
00:48:26.200
ago wore uh uniforms that had rainbows for the sf logo and several players three of them
00:48:36.540
wrote bible verses on those jerseys on those baseball caps and they um and they have since
00:48:46.640
been criticized and i want to make sure that i get this right because uh because i shared it
00:48:51.900
from my account so i'm pulling it up right now the uh major league baseball has said i'm reading
00:48:58.480
from the athletic the crazy left-wing new york times sports in quotation marks section after
00:49:05.200
three san francisco giants pitchers appeared in friday's game with bible verses written on their
00:49:11.360
pride night caps mlb issued a warning that similar behavior will not be tolerated the mlb said the
00:49:21.460
writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned
00:49:28.420
the players about future violations now jd vance just tweeted um trump won we don't have to do this
00:49:39.660
anymore my question for you and i'll get to some of the calls or talk backs because i know we have
00:49:47.140
a substantial number of gay people that listen to this program.
00:49:51.860
Have we reached the point where pride celebrations are actually
00:49:57.200
counterproductive to people that are actually gay?
00:50:00.440
And I may not be able to get you all of your talkbacks,
0.99
00:50:03.400
but if you are gay and you are listening to us right now,
0.97
00:50:06.620
I feel like when you are mandating that all players wear a rainbow hat
0.99
00:50:15.980
or rainbow uniforms or whatever the heck when you have gay pride based sports team uniforms
00:50:23.080
and if a player disagrees for religious reasons or any other reason with wearing a gay pride
00:50:30.600
uniform what's he supposed to do and how at this point are you benefiting gay people at all
00:50:39.260
when you are mandating let me just kind of walk through this let's pretend that you're one of
00:50:44.720
these san francisco giants players you have a religious belief that you do not believe that
00:50:51.880
being gay should in any way be celebrated i think you're well entitled to have that opinion
00:51:00.300
i think even gay people would say i think hey i understand that my lifestyle some people may
00:51:08.060
not agree with it the way to me to convince people that they should have no trouble with
00:51:15.700
your lifestyle is not by punishing them if they say that they disagree with your lifestyle
00:51:22.200
because to me that actually leads to even more resentment and disagreement with the lifestyle
00:51:39.400
The government is giving me the opportunity to live as I see fit.
00:51:44.280
Why do you have to compel others to speak in some way to endorse your lifestyle?
00:51:50.940
And to me, this is a really important distinction.
00:51:56.860
if you're an adult and you want to put on a dress and you want to say i'm a girl now
00:52:04.340
i think most people can still tell you're a dude personally but back in the day when we had
00:52:12.960
cross dressers there were all sorts of cross dressing celebrations and bars and clubs and
00:52:19.540
everything else. But nobody took the next step of saying, I'm dressing up like a girl and you
00:52:28.040
have to acknowledge that I am a girl or you're a bigot. You have to acknowledge that I'm every
00:52:36.040
bit the same as a girl and I should be able to win a girls championship or you aren't affirming
00:52:43.300
my recognition i think there's a big difference between you have the freedom to live as you see
00:52:50.720
fit and me having to affirm that i agree with appreciate and acknowledge your lifestyle choice
00:52:58.860
to me that's a really big difference um and i do think that we have crossed the rubicon so to speak
00:53:09.180
beyond, hey, if you want to do this, that's your choice.
00:53:23.920
We've actually had Supreme Court cases on this.
00:53:26.720
I think most people out there are okay with that.
00:53:29.940
But when you require me to celebrate your lifestyle choice,
00:53:36.260
and to me either you end pride night which i would be fine with personally i think the the pride night
00:53:45.060
sports leagues hey we're going to celebrate the sexuality of anybody i think is is long since
00:53:51.940
passed in terms of its significance and i actually think again it's working against gay people now
00:53:58.360
because when you mandate speech you have moved from hey we're seeking tolerant
00:54:04.200
uh respect for our choices just allow us to live as we see fit to i have to celebrate the way that
00:54:13.040
you are choosing to live so if you're these giants players you come into your locker room
00:54:18.060
they give you a rainbow hat you're like what are we doing here most of the players i would say don't
00:54:26.020
want to wear the rainbow hats it's like the seinfeld can we get the clip back in the day
00:54:31.360
remember when kramer wouldn't wear the ribbon and the gay dudes i think it was a gay pride march or
00:54:37.260
something and the gay dudes threatened him and threatened to beat him up if he wouldn't wear
0.70
00:54:42.920
the ribbon and he's like i just don't want to wear the ribbon if you're a major league baseball
0.96
00:54:48.240
player and you're going out on the field i could see why you might not want to wear a rainbow hat
0.63
00:54:53.180
and so what what opportunities do you have you either just suck it up don't say anything show
00:55:00.640
up which is what most of them do and probably just root for june to be over so you can be done
00:55:06.660
with the rainbow outfits or you feel compelled to make it clear that you are not celebrating and
00:55:15.840
endorsing gay lifestyle and so you write a bible verse on your hat i don't understand how major
00:55:24.780
league baseball's position can be we're going to mandate that you wear these uniforms and that is
00:55:31.820
a form of speech clearly but if you disagree with the speech that we are mandating we're going to
00:55:38.400
punish you if you speak out against the mandated speech i don't see to me if you're going to
00:55:46.220
mandate that people have to wear rainbow uniforms then you should also allow them to put a bible
00:55:52.620
verse on that says hey i disagree with this lifestyle choice so i think major league baseball
00:55:59.820
has created a mess here my solution would be pride nights just need to go and again we may
00:56:05.060
have a bunch of gay people who disagree with me you can give us talkbacks we'll hit some of those
0.95
00:56:08.980
tomorrow to me it is not tolerant to mandate a form of speech and if you disagree with it say
0.99
00:56:18.400
we're going to punish you for doing so and by the way i think you can use this as an example
00:56:24.400
writ large everywhere a lot of you out there listening right now in 2020 suddenly had to
00:56:31.000
put your pronouns in your email address and a lot of you were saying i i'm a dude i'm a chick like
00:56:38.140
why do i have to put what my pronouns are in an email in my sign-in some of you got emails from
00:56:45.600
hr directors who were monitoring because people complained oh joe in accounting he hasn't put
00:56:52.660
that he's a he him he's avoiding putting his pronouns in his email signature
00:56:58.140
alice alice over in the uh accounting department she won't put she her this is offensive to me
00:57:10.720
she's not acknowledging the importance of pronouns i'm a they them and i need to be
00:57:16.480
acknowledged why why does your lifestyle choice have to be acknowledged and celebrated by someone
00:57:23.600
else when they are at work again i think jd vance saying trump one we're done with this is a good
00:57:30.560
take but my take would actually be that mandating speech never helps increase support for the
00:57:40.460
speech that you are trying to encourage more people to support in fact it actually starts to go
00:57:46.220
in the opposite direction and so i think all of that is a significant aspect and this story is
00:57:56.180
going to be one worthy of following uh okay we're going to take some of your calls i'm sure we're
00:58:02.220
going to be deluged with responses on this this is going on right now in san francisco i would also
00:58:07.300
argue what's more courageous in san francisco wearing a rainbow hat or putting a bible verse
00:58:15.860
on your hat i would suggest the bible verse is actually the more courageous thing to do
00:58:21.920
in terms of you're going to be criticized far more for the bible verse on a hat than you are
00:58:27.880
for the rainbow uh hat in san francisco in particular the location here matters not every
00:58:33.640
team does these pride nights i would submit to you all 32 30 sorry i think it's 30 major league
00:58:38.840
baseball teams should do away with it all 32 nfl teams nba teams i think the whole pride world
00:58:44.240
frankly has been uh so forced onto us that it now is hugely counterproductive in terms of actually
00:58:54.180
adding allies to your side but we're going to get a ton of talkbacks i'll play some of these tomorrow
00:59:00.680
