0:33T's and C's apply. Third hour of Play and Buck kicks off now.
0:37Show is flying by, and we are covering so much ground.
0:40A good time to remind you all, there's a podcast of this program.
0:43You can go back and listen on demand anytime you like.
0:46The iHeartRadio app, best place to start.
0:48Wherever you get your podcasts, hour by hour, the show goes up.
0:51Go listen to it. You missed hour one.
0:53We had a great hour one.
0:54Some people say the greatest hour one of any show this week.
0:59So far, it was a great, great hour one of the show.
1:02We're talking Iran stuff. We're talking economy.
1:05We had Jim Jordan on.
1:06We had Shannon Bream on.
1:08Great Americans. We had Michael Watley on.
1:11I think he's going to win that race, Clay, in North Carolina.
1:13I really do. I like Michael Watley.
1:15He's a good man. The money that's going to be spent, it's just crazy how
1:19much money is being spent.
1:20But most Democrats are always around spending Republicans.
1:24$600 million, he said, Buck.
1:26If you were watching on video, it's rare that my jaw drops when I hear
1:30a number. I was even projecting, okay, it'll cost a couple of hundred million dollars.
1:36$600 million for one Senate seat is outrageous.
1:40But it's indicative of how much money is going to be spent.
1:43And we just talked with Shannon Bream about this.
1:46You can't be confident if you are the White House right now that you are
1:51going to have control of Congress.
1:53This might be your last opportunity this year.
1:56Might be the last opportunity of you, meaning the Republicans, to be able to get
2:03anything through the House and the Senate.
2:05And so if that's going to be true, it makes all of these stakes that
2:11much higher, including, as we were just talking about, the possibility of could there be
2:15a Supreme Court vacancy? Because, Buck, if you don't make the decision to go now
2:20in 26, 27 and 28, if Republicans lose control of the Senate, nothing's getting done.
2:26And then in 28, you have another election and you don't know who's going to
2:30win. You might have a split.
2:32And so you might not have certainty on who your replacement's going to be for
2:37four or five years, maybe longer, if you're a 70 -some -odd -year -old Supreme
2:42Court justice. Also, some breaking news here that Gracie Mansion, which is the mayor's residence
2:50in New York City, right like a block or two before my little sister actually
2:55went to school. I know the area very well.
2:57Gracie Mansion has, well, there's a report of the NYPD responding to a device, a
3:06suspicious device. Not immediately clear if it was a hoax or real or not.
3:12But then, look, this is getting more attention on.
3:14There was that protest and the counter -protesters.
3:18Remember, a protest about too many Islamic radicals in New York, so Islamic radicals were
3:25like, how dare you, and then threw a bomb at them.
3:28Kind of tells you a lot, as we were discussing.
3:31And now there's another suspicious package that has been found.
3:35You remember, Clay, I think it was the New York Post held a contest for
3:39the name of a strip club that at one point was going to be opened,
3:42an all -male strip club that was going to be opened near the site of
3:46a mosque. Do you know about this?
3:49No, I don't remember this story at all.
3:50I think it was the New York Post, and the winner was suspicious packages.
3:58Which I always thought was kind of a funny one.
4:00That's very, very funny. If you're going to have a strip club across from a
4:03mosque, you know, because some guy wanted to make a point that they won't allow
4:07a strip club near a mosque.
4:08An all -male, it was like a Chippendales thing.
4:10This was a long time ago.
4:11I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Onion.
4:13I'm pretty sure it was a real thing.
4:14But maybe it was the Onion.
4:15It's a funny story anyway.
4:17Sometimes, you know, when the facts and the legend conflict, you've got to go with
4:19the legend. But whenever I see suspicious packages now, I always think of that story
4:23or that urban legend, whatever it is.
4:27Now, we have the CNN reporting on this is incredible.
4:33And this is where X.
4:35I know we sound a little bit like Elon superfans here, maybe.
4:40I'll just speak for myself.
4:41Actually, Clay, with the Tesla, I think it's a pretty big fan of the Tesla.
4:44I think Elon is my 15 -year -old son the other day was just, would
4:53you stop? You may or may not know this phrase.
4:56Would you stop with the Elon glaze?
5:00Glaze is like when you're giving somebody praise.
5:02I'm like, he's the greatest capitalist in the history of the world.
5:05I mean, I think it's fair to say that of anybody that's alive today, I
5:10think he's probably done more in a positive direction from a capitalist perspective than almost
5:16anybody ever has. And did we say this on the air or was it off
5:20air? AOC was criticizing Elon Musk recently for being a billionaire.
5:24who had never accomplished anything and Elon Musk just did a star you know an
5:29asterisk and said trillionaire uh which is Elon is if he's not already soon to
5:36be the first trillionaire in the history of the world um and uh I think
5:41it's because he's built pretty incredible products so to cut you off I might like
5:45Elon and be more of an Elon Glazer according to my own 15 year old
5:50than even you are but so I'll sign on certainly in Gen Z speak Gen
5:55Z has some very interesting first of all I've noticed that that we grew up
5:59saying dude the way they say bro bro is now what dude was in the
6:0390s you'd be like dude now it's bro everything is bro yeah that's one thing
6:08I've noticed about the Gen Z I have a Gen Z babysitter and I listen
6:13very closely to her uh lexicon to her uh verbiage and I'm learning things all
6:19the time uh the oldest man way to describe how a young I listen to
6:24her lexicon to her verbiage uh how old is uh is your Gen Z lass
6:30uh that is uh that is a babysitter 22 year old she just got out
6:36of the just got out of the IDF actually 22 years old uh and she
6:40was serving over in Israel now she's here and uh and she's great she's great
6:45with great with speech fantastic but uh I'm learning from the way that she speaks
6:49and there's a thing mogging oh mogging oh I I've learned this thing so so
6:56when Clay and I took a photo years ago with Tommy Lahren and Tommy looked
7:03like Tommy Lahren and Clay and I both looked particularly schlubby even for us we
7:09were mogged by Tommy this is with it right that's the correct it's like when
7:15someone completely overshadows you in a photo because they're like they're so good looking I
7:20think that's what basically you can mog people in all respects but typically it is
7:25applied for physical physical like if you went to the beach and I went to
7:28the beach and like Arnold Schwarzenegger uh you know Mr.
7:33Olympian style was there at the beach he would be totally mogging us like we
7:38would be the fat slubby guys at the beach and then I mean now he's
7:41pretty wrinkly and old but yeah so who is the most who's a super ripped
7:45guy now there aren't as many famous ripped guys I mean I know there's tons
7:49of wrestlers and things like that I think super bodybuilders have become did you see
7:53the guy who was like I think won the Arnold classic the photos and we're
7:56going around does not even look like a human musculature I mean it looks like
8:00another species or it's crazy how jack yeah well some of those guys can't put
8:04a shirt on um so it's hard to be like oh you're the strongest man
8:08on the like when I'm not kidding like they can't take a shirt off and
8:11take a shirt on because they're so muscular like their their shoulders don't work they
8:16can't just like do normal things right and while you're taking massive doses of of
8:20anabolic steroids to get to that and that's just known I mean there's this isn't
8:24like some see everyone that you're not hiding it you can't be a bodybuilder a
8:28male bodybuilder competitor it's interesting the most competitive of the female body and I'm in
8:34Miami which is I think now probably the bodybuilding capital of the country or certainly
8:37South Florida has got to be up there South Florida is the attractiveness capital of
8:43the United States by far everybody's good looking everybody's in shape like I LA is
8:48probably number two in terms of people who are just in great Miami's now number
8:53one your fitness level in South Florida is a minus three compared to the American
8:57average so if you think you're like a seven out of ten in terms of
9:01fitness for your age category you come to South Florida you're like a four or
9:06five it's just the way it look I it applies to me too trust me
9:09I was like I came down here I was like I'm the fattest guy in
9:12the whole gym like it's tough down here well and also it's warm so people
9:15wear less clothes so it's hard to hide like you can't wear a bulky jacket
9:19you don't get like if you're the fat guy in Miami everybody knows you're the
9:23fat guy in Miami yeah you don't I mean around here it's there's it's a
9:27whole different thing with the year -round beach where okay so looks mogging we've explained
9:31to you now for Gen Z speak most of you it's going to be your
9:33grandkids or your kids that will know what mogging is um and uh you explain
9:39you explain glazed there's some other Gen Z terms that I'll think of that are
9:43very very common usage these days um but anyway going back to CNN here for
9:49a moment oh why who are we glazing Elon because Elon's incredible he is and
9:53you were saying the reason we knew this story from CNN to a large extent
9:57is because of Twitter and the way that it's changed culturally yeah I mean Twitter
10:01used to be a left -wing propaganda platform and allowed conservatives on but it actually
10:07was nefarious because it was always suppressing you know right it's it's if you're in
10:12a race what's worse hey I'm the fact this is a race to determine who
10:17the fastest person in the world is but I'm going to exclude like most of
10:22the fastest people and then give a gold medal to somebody who's actually not the
10:25fastest or if you put everybody in the race and then you have the actual
10:29fastest people you know running with like shackles on their legs or running barefoot or
10:34so they might even run faster barefoot but anyway you get what I'm saying right
10:37like it's actually more nefarious to pretend it's a honest platform x now does not
10:43operate as a left -wing uh propaganda platform and it's not perfect but it's a
10:50lot better than it was and so CNN you you you has had to put
10:53this out a post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of
10:59New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani's home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident
11:04thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting it has therefore been
11:10deleted now just to share with everybody what the tweet was this is from CNN's
11:16official account which has millions and millions of followers still two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into
11:23New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day enjoying the
11:26city during abnormally warm weather but in less than an hour their lives would be
11:32drastically changed as they would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti -Muslim
11:37protest outside of Zoran Mamdani's home Clay that construct of how to tell this story
11:44is like clinically insane I mean you could do this with anybody it would say
11:48you know it's like Osama bin Laden was having just another day eating some chunks
11:53of goat in a cave in Afghanistan thinking about a Quranic verse and then I
11:58mean all of a sudden on his TV the planes ran into the buildings like
12:02what are you doing yeah and this is where it becomes significant to me a
12:08lot of times people can screw up I've written a lot you've written a lot
12:12we talk a lot four hours plus every day variety of different topics to me
12:18what is an utter indictment of what you just read that went viral this morning
12:23is it's a product of the culture of CNN in other words that you know
12:29this articles don't go up on CNN .com without having been vetted by multiple editors
12:34and I would submit that a CNN account does not tweet something out without it
12:42having the ability to have been overseed by multiple editors which is a good thing
12:46right you don't want CNN suddenly tweeting out 100 % inaccurate news because it could
12:52be very traumatic to the nation as a whole right if suddenly CNN said hey
12:59something awful has happened to President Trump and it's not true at all it could
13:03alter the marketplace people see on stock markets everything else by the way Caroline Levitt
13:08has started a briefing and we will be updating you on what she is saying
13:13there but all of that is to say this is the culture of CNN that
13:19must be ripped out root and branch and this is why for those of you
13:23out there who didn't care about who was going to buy Warner Brothers I did
13:27care CBS News was a mess I under new ownership I think that similarly CNN
13:35needs to be reimagined and redefined and rehabilitated based on the way that the culture
13:42of their news has broken and that tweet and that story is a perfect example
13:47of a culture that's broken when we see volatility in the world which we certainly
13:52have because the oil markets with Iran it's a time when precious metal tends to
13:57grow gold is limited in quality on quantity rather unlike cash which can be printed
14:02by any government treasury and it happens all over the world including here at home
14:05this past year gold grew in value by more than 65 percent experts and analysts
14:11think the growth in value could continue this year too but look at the long
14:14term gold is up 700 percent since 2006 forward -thinking Americans have been diversifying a
14:21portion of their savings into precious metals like gold for years now and it's something
14:25you can start doing early this year or you can add to precious metal that
14:29you've already been buying over the years and birch gold group is who I recommend
14:33you go to for this birch gold can help you convert an existing IRA or

15:53buck sexton show we have got right now caroline levitt updating the white house press
15:59corps on the absolute latest in iran as well as arguing uh for the uh
16:06save act to be passed every one of the news networks is taking caroline levitt
16:12live right now uh which is a sign that uh is somewhat rare because usually
16:18msnbc doesn't carry the These White House press briefings, they instead decide to carry something
16:24that they believe makes Trump look bad.
16:27But right now, they're actually carrying the press briefing across the board.
16:31Buck, we talked about earlier something that I love that has been, I think, very
16:36smartly done is Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, is doing these morning press conferences, which
16:45dominate the news agenda. We played several of those as we began the show today.
16:53And I do think it's an important and smart move to set the agenda before
16:58the media can really decide what the agenda is.
17:02And it's amazing how quickly these things can change because yesterday the story was, oh
17:07my goodness, the stock market is collapsing, the price of oil and gas is skyrocketing,
17:13we're never going to be able to afford anything.
17:15And since that time, the price of oil and gas has dropped nearly $40.
17:21MSNBC has taken the ticker off the screen as stock market prices are back near
17:27record highs and up again today.
17:31And again, the S &P 500 is near an all -time record high and up
17:36a little bit today as well.
17:37So I think the Trump White House has done a good job of taking back
17:41control of the agenda, the discussion point over the last couple of days.
17:47Absolutely. I think that you're going to see things continue to move in the direction
17:51of the Trump administration on the economy.
17:55I think that they know what the red lines are for Iran.
18:00You have to remember, there's an unreasonable degree of negativity that is brought to any
18:11media assessment of something going on in the Trump administration.
18:14There are a lot of people who really, really, really want Trump to fail.
18:19And that affects the way that they will leap on things because it's not even
18:24that they're not aware that could be wrong, Clay.
18:27Their audience is desperate for anti -Trump content.
18:31Their audience is desperate to believe that they're smart when they voted for Biden and
18:37then voted for Kamala and that Trump can't do anything right, even though that is
18:42a delusion, a manufactured delusion at that.
18:46No doubt. We'll take some of your calls.
18:49We'll continue to play some talkbacks and we'll monitor what Caroline Levitt has to say
18:52to see whether or not we're getting any additional news of substance out of this
18:57event. In the meantime, when the FBI puts out a report, home burglaries happening a
19:02rate of two per minute nationwide, something to pay attention to.

19:55All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck.
19:56Caroline Leavitt addressing the nation from the West Wing of the White House.
20:01So plenty to dive into there.
20:04Let's get to some of the top issues.
20:06This is just breaking news now.
20:08She is telling the press where the White House stands on a whole range of
20:12critical issues. Let's do cut 30 first here, guys.
20:15This is on Iran and the U .S.
20:17air campaign against the regime.
20:20Play 30. As for the oil, President Trump fully expected the rogue Iranian regime to
20:25try and disrupt the global markets.
20:28That's why President Trump and his energy team have been planning for this long before
20:32the strike and have moved quickly to address these temporary disruptions.
20:36Thus far, the Trump administration has offered political risk insurance to tankers operating in the
20:42Gulf. The Treasury temporarily waived certain oil -related sanctions.
20:46And the Commander -in -Chief has offered the U .S.
20:49Navy to escort tankers when necessary.
20:52The President and his energy team are closely watching the markets, speaking with industry leaders.
20:57And the U .S. military is jarring up additional options following the President's directive to
21:02continue keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
21:06Play, I think they're very aware that everyone is watching this and that the American
21:15people are okay with this.
21:17And this is what all the polling shows.
21:19As long as it does not drag on and we don't have mission creep.
21:27Yes. That, to me, is one of the most interesting parts of the polling so
21:32far has been as long as this is done in a month or six weeks,
21:37it has about 75 -76 % approval across the nation.
21:41If it drags on, if there's boots on the ground, if you start putting other
21:45permutations of this in place, Now let's go a little bit more and find clothes.
21:47And this is something that I'm looking for.
21:47then people start to feel differently.
21:49And this is one thing that I would say doesn't get talked about enough, but
21:54we have discussed with all of you.
21:56President Trump is acutely aware of what economic reaction is to his decisions.
22:03And for people out there who constantly buy into the fact, oh my goodness, this
22:08happened, and so President Trump is going to ride, the stock market's going to drop
22:1340%, and gas prices are going to go up 300 % and all these things.
22:18That never happens because the President looks at the way markets respond and he adjusts
22:24his reaction to the markets as well.
22:27So this is why I've said from the get -go, President Trump wants the stock
22:31market to be up. He wants to be able to walk in front of the
22:35cameras and say, all of your 401ks are doing better.
22:38And so if there is the threat of something severely impacting in a negative way
22:45the economic situation, President Trump will adjust in real time.
22:49And so far, we have seen kind of a Goldilocks -like economy.
22:55What do I mean by that?
22:56Unemployment has stayed very low.
22:58Interest rates have been coming down.
23:00Inflation has not gone up.
23:02You know when we had the perfect economy, Buck?
23:03Buck, I bet you do, February 2020.
23:06We had right at 1 .8 % inflation, if I remember correctly.
23:11We had 3 % mortgages.
23:14We had a growth rate of the market that was on fire.
23:18Boom, COVID happens. I think what you're going to see is, as this spring -summer
23:23takes in place, the impact of the President's big, beautiful bill is going to become
23:28apparent, and we are going to see this economy taken off like it has jet
23:33fuel. I really do. I am insanely optimistic about where we're going to be in
23:38the summer. And I think that's President Trump's ultimate goal as we move into the
23:43midterms, is that the economy is becoming strong enough that even middle -of -the -road
23:48people who have not been committed to his agenda look around and say, hey, you
23:51know what? This is pretty good.
23:53And that's why I think, to your point, he has to get the resolution in
23:56Iran completed by, I don't know, May, June, at the latest.
24:03You could say this economy is going to take off like a Tesla on Mad
24:06Max mode, perhaps. Look at what you've learned.
24:10Look at what you've learned.
24:11A lot of education on this program.
24:13You know, they had an autonomous vehicles thing with Sean Duffy, Secretary Duffy, today.
24:20I think these autonomous vehicles are going to take off.
24:23We've got another Caroline Levitt clip.
24:24Yeah, let's get to Caroline, and then we can do the Duffy, actually.
24:27I didn't even mean for that to be a smooth transition there, but that could
24:29have worked. Let's do Caroline on oil, though.
24:32The price of oil, it is important.
24:35Play 31. ...destructive to continue keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
24:40As for the oil, President Trump fully expected the rogue Iranian regime to try and
24:45disrupt the global markets. That's why President Trump and his energy team have been planning
24:50for this long before the strike and have moved quickly to address these temporary disruptions.
24:56Thus far, the Trump administration has offered political risk insurance to tankers operating in the
25:01Gulf. The Treasury temporarily waived certain oil -related sanctions.
25:06And the Commander -in -Chief has offered the U .S.
25:08Navy to escort tankers when necessary.
25:11The President and his energy team are closely watching the markets, speaking with industry leaders.
25:16And the U .S. military is jarring up additional options following the President's directive to
25:22continue keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
25:25What do you think? I think it's going to work.
25:29Look, I mean, I think in many ways the run -up to $120 on Sunday
25:38I think looks suspicious. And when I saw it happening a part of me thought
25:43in the back of my mind is this an attempt to try to gobble the
25:50global oil market to gobble up the pricing to drive up in an effort to
25:57try to create economic issues for the United States which is probably Iran's best method
26:04by which to end this.
26:06And so it feels strange it feels I guess I should say it directly it
26:10feels a bit manipulated in the way that the gas oil and gas market went
26:15from $80 almost overnight to $120 back down to $80.
26:21That doesn't feel organic and natural to me.
26:23Now you can say well there's different stories out there that precipitated this but for
26:28a 50 % run -up and a 50 % collapse to occur it reminds me
26:32Buck of meme stocks. Remember when GameStop and all these other different stocks the fundamentals
26:37of them did not change but the price skyrocketed and plummeted and skyrocketed and plummeted
26:42because they were being artificially manipulated in many different ways oil and gas it feels
26:48to me like that's what happened in the last 24 hours.
26:51It's not normal to see a 50 % increase and a 50 % collapse in
26:55the space of 24 hours.
26:57It just doesn't happen and that's basically what we have seen a crazy roller coaster
27:01of oil and gas pricing.
27:03Like I said it's people speculating around this and placing financial bets and that moving
27:10the markets much more than anything else.
27:12So it's not reflective necessarily.
27:14and I'll see you in the next video.
27:15all of a true and sustained supply shock or anything like that.
27:21So I think that's important.
27:22Do you want to do some autonomous vehicles?
27:23Look, I love autonomous vehicles.
27:25Every time I talk about autonomous vehicles, people send mean messages to me, but I'm
27:29sorry I'm living in the future and you guys are living in the past.
27:32And if radio shows had existed back in the days of cars starting to surpass
27:37carriages, some of you out there would have been reaching out and saying, the horseless
27:43carriage is never going to be a thing, Clay.
27:46I'd rather rely on my horse and buggy.
27:48I know what my whip in my hand is going to do to a horse.
27:53I have no idea what a steering wheel might do.
27:56Do you think that women are ever going to be able to drive cars?
28:00They go way too fast for women.
28:01All of these arguments would have been cast at me in like 1906 when I
28:06would have said, hey, I think this car is going to be a big deal.
28:08And now you guys are living in this current age are basically the equivalent of
28:14horseless carriage detractors, and I'm living in the future.
28:18He's basically saying that you non -autonomous vehicle people are like the Colt 1911 fans
28:25of the gun community, stuck in 100 years ago, and don't want to change with
28:32the times and the technology.
28:33I don't know what to say.
28:34Hey, I just, it's fine if you want to, you know, some people like to
28:38dress up and do like revolutionary era cosplay.
28:42You know, the muskets, you can have your Colt 1911 and your musket.
28:46That's fine. I'm an American.
28:48I believe that you have this choice.
28:50I just personally think that we've improved on the musket like we've improved on the
28:531911, like we've improved on cars with autonomous driving now.
28:58You see, there's a pattern here, my friends.
29:00There's a trend. Some of you like hoop skirts, and I'm talking about like antebellum
29:05hoop skirts. It was a good look back in 1864.
29:09And the truth of the matter is autonomous vehicles are the future, and I'm living
29:13in the future. Another way to put it, Buck, in current parlance might be that
29:17my car is mogging your car.
29:21Wow. Clay's car is looks maxing while it mogs your vehicle.
29:27He's car maxing. I think that's actually, isn't that a site?
29:30Oh, yeah. Probably should be.
29:32Well, yeah, it is. Yeah, it is.
29:34That's a good name, actually.
29:35Yeah, there you go. News max, car max, a lot of max out there.
29:40Okay, Duffy, was that an autonomous vehicle?
29:43This is the Sean Duffy of Transportation Administration Secretary fame.
29:50That's one way to put it.
29:52Here he is, Sean Duffy, autonomous vehicle safety form.
29:55Play, cut, one. We're in a race, right?
29:58Everyone is trying to have the best technology that will be deployed around the world.
30:05And I want the technology to be developed in America.
30:09I want the jobs in America.
30:10And I want the rest of the world to use American technology.
30:14I don't want to see a foreign competitor slash foreign adversary slash communist party beat
30:23America and have their technology deployed around the world.
30:27This is a national security issue.
30:29This is an economic issue.
30:31This is a safety issue.
30:35There you go. Look, Secretary Duffy gets it.
30:38And I'm just going to say it.
30:41Every single one of you that gets in the car and lets the car drive
30:45for you, who has never done it before, who listens to this program, is going
30:49to say, I'll be damned.
30:51Clay Travis was 100 % right.
30:53Because you're going to feel like you are in the future, too.
30:56And you're going to recognize how much better it is.
31:00I just need the autonomous driving to also get one of those little robots that
31:05you see that just gives me a back rub while I'm in the seat.
31:08You know what I mean?
31:09So I'm being driven around while a little robot is rubbing my shoulders.
31:13I mean, they do have the seat massagers, I think, in a lot of different.
31:18I think my car, I think my autonomous vehicle also massages.
31:21I think basically you can kind of take care of everything.
31:24Pretty soon it's going to be paying my taxes while I'm just sitting there watching
31:27videos, letting it drive me around.
31:29And I do think this is one big prediction.
31:32The way that cars are designed, completely going to change.
31:36With autonomous vehicles, the idea that you need to have four forward -facing seats, we're
31:41just going to be rolling around in basically living rooms.
31:45On the car, you're going to be able to sleep.
31:46You're going to be able to watch movies.
31:48You're going to be able to have a big screen in the middle that everybody
31:50watches together like a jumbotron.
31:52It's going to be super cool.
31:54I'm optimistic. Here's Sean Duffy continuing on at the Autonomous Vehicle Safety Forum.
32:01Cut to play it. We want to make sure we have the right regulatory structure
32:06to meet the innovation that's happening, not just in America, but around the world.
32:09And so we want to drive safety, but also allow those innovators to innovate.
32:13We want the next generation of vehicles, which are going to be autonomous, to be
32:18American -made. We don't want to see these as Chinese -made, Chinese technology.
32:23We want an American technology.
32:24And so we're having a forum today.
32:26A lot of, you can see maybe behind me, a lot of our top innovators
32:30from Waymo, Zooks, Tesla are here.
32:34And we're going to have a day -long conversation about, again, how we can have
32:38the right rule set to keep our safety mandate, but also allow them to continue
32:42to innovate. it's very important this ev competition with china because it has to go
32:50with market penetration all over the world and it also is about the innovations that
32:55will come along with autonomous driving hey guess what the best autonomous driving technology is
33:01also going to be the best autonomous tank brigade technology the best drone coordination technology
33:09i mean you start to add these things up and you go oh it's actually
33:12quite important that we're at the forefront of this so something to think about my
33:17friends okay every day in israel is a challenging one yes the missiles and drones
33:22launched from iran are reducing in number these days but the threat is still there
33:26and the attacks from proxies like hezbollah continue if you're a resident of israel you
33:31carry a cell phone with an app that tells you where the closest bomb shelter
33:34is it's activated when an enemy missile or drone is incoming notifying you that you
33:38have less than a minute to take cover that's life in israel right now which
33:42is why the international fellowship of christians and jews is there on the ground bringing
33:46food emergency equipment care for children and help for the elderly and supplying bomb shelters
33:51and medical centers with critically needed essentials if you've ever wondered what it looks like
33:55to stand for israel and stand for good against evil this is it give 45
33:59right now to rush life -saving essentials to the vulnerable under fire call 888 -488

35:00back in caroline levitt still speaking uh at the white house press briefing she just
35:06said to the 100 000 employees out there struggling without a paycheck uh to any
35:12american out there showing up to an airport facing incredibly long wait times call your
35:17democrat member of congress tell them to fund dhs again the tsa agents many of
35:23whom listen to this program a lot of the tsa guys and gals at nashville
35:28buck because i fly in and out a lot are listeners and they're not getting
35:32paid and this is the third time i think that they've had to deal with
35:36disruptions to their pay that's i think a failure of the entire political process but
35:43in particular during this time when we know there's an elevated risk of terror attack
35:49the idea that we would have fewer tsa employees working buck there are some of
35:54them that are saying hey i've got to make money right now so they're doing
35:59other jobs rather than showing up for their tsa jobs because they have to get
36:04money in their pocket um and this is just a failure uh and it's indefensible
36:08anytime but i think particularly now let's go to podcast listener john this is a
36:16on our talk back list he wanted to weigh in on a controversial topic that
36:201911 guy doesn't know what he's talking about top surgeons in the country cannot tell
36:25the difference between a nine millimeter and a 45 on the operating table it's all
36:29about shot placement especially with modern hollow point ammunition the wound channels difference are negligible
36:35you get more chances with a nine more recoil control more fun to shoot yeah
36:401911s are cool guns but they're not practical to carry because they're much heavier i'd
36:44rather have some type of polymer nine millimeter listener john just coming down heavy with
36:49an elbow from the top rope on the 1911 community there also the level of
36:55detail that this audience can bring to the tissue damage from various calibers fired from
37:00a gun conversation is pretty remarkable i am completely out of uh my depths on
37:08this discussion so i i the fight that you have brought to bear here um
37:13is one that i don't even have a strong take to be able to uh
37:16to weigh in and throw punches on oh he keeps going podcast listener b john
37:23play it bruce lee said i don't fear the man that knows 10 000 kicks
37:27but the man that has practiced 10 one kick 10 000 times it's all about
37:31those neural pathways called muscle memory nine millimeters easier on the wallet easier on the
37:35hands more fun to shoot therefore you're going to get much more repetitions on the
37:39worst day of your life you can do it automatically without thinking about it all
37:44these 45 caliber guys like oh and those are the guys that never are out
37:47there shooting they just have them in their gun safes oh oh oh throwing shade
37:54at the 45 caliber community oh my gosh this is gonna get feisty clay feisty
