Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show. I am Texas
Governor Greg Abbott and I am your guest host today
and very excited that we have a first time caller
to the Sean Hennity Show. But to set it up,
I want to call for a cut ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Boster coming in hot or Sister.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Cushy, nine thirteen of rapper engines, just.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Few anything for readable right now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We're now down to three raptor engines.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We can see those chops. We've just witnessed history. Well
that was the world watching in amazement at the stunning
accomplishment to catch a rocket the SpaceX had previously launched
(00:51):
as it returned to Earth. You know, Mania, Americans have
seen the marvels of SpaceX, but really don't know much
about what space X is actually doing in their lives
right now. And there is nobody better in the world,
I should say, maybe in the universe to describe that
than none other than Elon Musk. Elon, Welcome to Sean
(01:13):
Hennity Show.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Thank you for having me listen.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
You know you and I have talked before about your
vision and about what you're doing, and I know that
you've visited with those who have invested in SpaceX about
what you're doing. But the truth is probably most of
our Americans across the country really don't know much about
what space X is actually doing to affect their lives.
(01:39):
Can you give us a short explanation about what space
X actually is doing right now for the average American?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yeah, So SpaceX launches satellites that provide communication, especially the
stalling Internet system. So starlink provides global high band with
the Internet connectivity. So throughout the world, if you're anywhere
from Texas to the North Pole or the South Pole,
(02:10):
or in the middle of the Ocean, you can get
high band with low latency Internet connectivity. And it's it's
the only such system that exists in the world. So
that's that's the main thing that we launch with with SpaceX.
Then SpaceX also is the main provider to NASA for
transporting astronauts to and from the space station, as well
(02:31):
as reupplinment space station with cargo and bringing scientific experiments
to and from the space station. So in fact, we're
currently the only the only spacecraft. Our Dragon spacecraft is
the only spacecraft that is qualified by NASA to transport
ationaluts to and from the space station besides the Russian
(02:53):
SOYUS system, So we transport both the US and international
astronauts to and from the space station.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So for those starlink deployments, about how many launches do
you have a year? And about how many satellites do
you have across the universe?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah, So SpaceX right now delivers about eighty five percent
of all the payloads orbit of Earth. So of the
remaining fifteen percent, most of that is China, and then
I think they're probably about eight percent, and then about
roughly seven percent is the rest of the world, including
(03:35):
the rest of the US. So SpaceX transports almost ten
times as many satellites to orbit as the rest of
the world combined.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, So after you move on from deploying satellites, as
you cast your vision toward the next ten years, which,
by the way, every time I talk to you, it
seems like you're constantly thinking ten or even twenty or
more years than that ahead. But what do you see
SpaceX doing ten years from now?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Well, hopefully we've established a base on the Moon, so
and not just a base with a small number of people,
but in ten years, hopefully we've enabled thousands, if not
tens of thousands of people to go to the Moon,
which makes it's going to see, it's gonna seem like
(04:29):
a pretty outrageous number, given that you know, there's only
about a dozen or so people that have been to
the Moon so far. But our starship system is designed
to carry ultimately tens of thousands of tons to the
Moon to create effectively a city on the Moon and
(04:51):
ultimately a city on Mars as well. And the overapching
goal of SpaceX is to extend life and consciousness as
we know beyond Earth, to the rest of the Solar
System and eventually to other star systems.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So about how many years from now would it take
to actually build a city on the Moon? What are
we talking about?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Five?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Ten years more or less.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, I think we'll have landed up first people on
the Moon in less than five years. If things go well,
we might be able to put the first astronauts on
the Moon in two to three years, and then and
then expand rapidly from there, so that in say ten
(05:39):
years from now, there are thousands.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Of people on the Moon, and that's just go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
We want to ultimately make its up that anyone who
wants to go to the Moon. I any remember the
public but that wants to go to the moon can
go to the Moon and go to Mars.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So a person who wants to go to the moon,
you see astronauts go up there and they stay there
for a couple of days and come back. But you're
talking about a city on the moon. So when you
are talking ten years from now and people are going
to the moon, will they be staying there for weeks, months, years?
What would it be like?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yes, I think it's up to the person. They may
wish to go for a vacation on the moon, or
they may wish to move permanently to the Moon, depending
on the individual. But I think we want to It
would be very cool to have a full blown, self
sustaining city on the moon, like an actual metropolis on
(06:38):
the moon. So the goal is the way to think
about it is we want to make the things that
people see in science fiction not fiction. We want to
make them real and become a true space bearing civilization
where we're out there among the stars. And I think
that's that's a very inspiring future. That's one where you know,
(06:59):
I think people can really look forward to it, and
there need to be things in life that are not
just about solving one miserable problem after another. We need
to solve the problems of Earth, of course, but we
also need things that inspire us about the future and
make us glad to be alive.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And you know, I think it'd be a heck of
a honeymoon trip to take a trip to the moon,
your honeymoon. Let's not go to Singapore, Let's go to
the Moon this year. That's that's something in the future.
So another thing that I've heard you talk about is
building data centers in space. Is that something that's going
to be a reality, and if so, when.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, I think the way to expand compute is really
in space. There's a lot of room in space. And
if you look at the size of Earth relative to
the Sun or relative to the Solar System, you realize
just how tiny it is. We're very, very tiny. We
(08:01):
only receive about half a billion of the Sun's energy.
So you can really think of Earth as being like
a tiny deskmote in a vast aarkness. So the way
to expand compute without you know, using up all the
land on Earth is to do so in space. And
(08:23):
then you can do it without using space for power
and water on Earth, you can just you just do
it in space. So I think we'll probably be launching
our first AI satellites next year, and then we'll be
(08:43):
able to do that, I think at large scale in
about two years.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's just just incredible. Well, listen, you know, you're such
an aspiring individual and you have accomplished so much, and
you still have so much ahead of you. But you know,
you inspired different people in different ways, and one of
which is what happened in the aftermath of SpaceX becoming
a public company where people could go to the psych
(09:12):
Exchange and buy SpaceX stock. And when that happened, it
suddenly made fortunes for long standing SpaceX employees. And there
was a story that I'm sure you've heard about and
know about very well, and that it was about a
welder who i think began working for SpaceX in twenty fifteen,
making about twenty eight dollars an hour, who when SpaceX
(09:34):
became a public company, it became a millionaire. What do
you think it means to the American dream that welders
at SpaceX can work hard and then become independently wealthy
because they work for such a remarkable business. Like SpaceX.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, I've always haid the philosophy that everyone at the
companies should receive us in the company so that they
can participate in the outside of the company. And it's
great for aligning incentives as well, so as the company
prospers than the people at the company, the employees also prosper.
So that's just been you know, my philosophy from day
(10:16):
one is to make sure everyone gets stock in the company.
So there are I think several thousand people who've been made.
It's not just one welder, it's it's several thousand people
who were working on the production line. And if they
started the company relatively early, then then probably their stock
(10:39):
is worth over a million dollars at this point.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Just astonishing. Listen, you've been fabuous. I got two more
quick questions for you. What you mentioned Mars earlier. What
does the Mars timeline look like with regard to what
you want to accomplish there we're talking more than ten years,
twenty years give a center approximation.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, so with Mars is much harder to get to
than the Moon, and you can only travel to Mars
roughly every two years. So the birth of Mars, the
planets align such that you can do you can travel
to Mars only once every twenty six months. So so
that's that. That makes it a lot harder than the Moon,
(11:24):
where you can go to the Moon pretty much pretty
much anytime, and and and and it only takes a
few days to get to the Moon, whereas it takes
about six months to get to Mars. So so that's that,
that's why we can do the Moon faster than we
can do Mars. But I think probably if things go well,
we can we can probably send the first people to
(11:47):
Mars in about five years, and and and then rapidly
increase the the kittens of sending people to Mars thereafter,
So every every two years would dramatically increase the number
of ships going to Mars, and hopefully in the ten
(12:07):
or twelve year timeframe we're sent thousands of people tomorrows.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Just astonishing. Well, listen, you've been a great guest and
a great Texan, I must add, and we're proud that
you are in Texas. We're proud that space x is
headquartered in Texas. We're proud. I'm going to quote you
here about something you said at the announcement of terror
fab that all of your exes live in Texas, and
(12:34):
of course Star Base Texas is in the lone Star
state and will be known not just around the world,
but pursuing to your aspirations, it's going to be known
around the universe. And so I got a really tough
question for you, and that is, now that you have
all these Texas connections, can we finally get a Texas
(12:57):
emoji flag on your platform from X.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Sure? I will. I will ask the team to make
Texas like very flag. And you know, we've got a
giant Texas flag. I'm here at the Giga Texas factory
right now. We've got a big Texas flag, you know,
American flag in a Texas flag just right right outside
the building. And yeah, it's something i'd like to thank.
(13:23):
Thank you and everyone for over sports recruiting in Texas.
It's a great state to do business in. It's super
supportive and I think really emblematic of American values. So
you know, I love being here and I love being
in Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Thank you, very proud of you. Keep up your great
work and maybe we'll see on the moon one day.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
All right, sounds good to.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Take carry it on. What a guest. What a man
who's the leading visionary of our time, Thomas Edison. Just
like that, maybe even bigger, dreaming for the stars and
actually reaching the stars, unlike anybody in the history of mankind.
(14:09):
The one and only Elon Musk. Listen, We're going to
take a quick break. We'll be right back again to
The Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Elections, Paul's campaign. It's the latest news on your candidate.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
We've got you covered this election year, knocking in right here.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
On the Sean Hannity Show. Welcome back to the Sean
(14:59):
Hennedy Show. I am Texas Governor Greg Abbott and I'm
your guest host today and we had a fantastic show already.
We just got through interviewing the one and only Elon Musk,
and coming up next is Josh Holmes with The Ruthless Podcast.
They cover conservative commentary, sports, everything you could want to
(15:19):
talk about. And I had the opportunity to visit with
them live in person at the Republican Party convention in
Milwaukee and had a blast with these guys. You're going
to find them entertaining, interesting as well as very insightful
about political commentary. We're going to get in and mix
(15:40):
it up on some things that we talked about earlier,
such as the growing rise of socialism. So stay tuned
for Josh Holmes with a Ruthless podcast coming up next, Ruthless.
I got to tell you they are go get them,
and they are nationwide and with a lot of pride.
(16:01):
I want you to know this again, is a Sean
Hennedy Show, and this is Governa Greg Abbatt your guest.
Stay tuned for Josh Holmes with a Ruthless podcast. He
(16:53):
never stops working for the good of a country. Sean
Hannity with behind the scenes information on today's breaking news.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Hannity is on right now.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hi, welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show. I am
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, your guest host today, and I'm
please to welcome our next guest, and that is Josh
Holmes with the Ruthless Podcast. Ruthless is a just a
remarkable podcast, if I can say this, because I've never
been on Shawn's podcast, but I have been on Ruthless,
(17:28):
and the Ruthless Podcast is my favorite podcast. I had
a great time with these guys in person at the
Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, you know one thing, Josh,
that I enjoyed visiting with you guys about him. I'm
talking about Josh Holmes with Ruthless. I enjoyed a visit
with you guys about politics, obviously at the Republican Party convention,
(17:49):
but also sports. And I'm going to put you on
the spot, however, no commitment needed right now. But you know,
in Texas, we've got college football coming up sometime here
pretty and we got what's going to be the biggest
game of the second week of the college football season,
when Ohio State comes and plays in Texas. And if
(18:10):
you guys are free, you should come on down to Austin,
Texas and do your podcast from the Texas Governor has mentioned,
and then we can go out and watch some outstanding
college football. But that will be for another day. Josh,
tell me what you guys have been up to.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I don't think I've ever received a more welcomed invitation
to radio show than that I've heard that unequivocal Yes.
Details to follow. By the way, hated off to Sean
forgetting a substitute of the governor of Texas. My goodness, gracious,
it's an honor to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Great to visit with you again. And you know, one
thing that Sean talks about a lot, You guys talk
about a lot, and so do I, especially with James
Tallerrico running for office in Texas. You know, one thing
we're seeing across the country is this growing rise in socialism,
especially in the Democratic Party this election cycle. And what
(19:08):
I have a hard time trying to figure out is
where is this coming from? Because to me is when
you look at the policies they're trying to advance. You know,
you could have worked in New York City, you could
have worked in some place like California. But how in
the world are these socialists, including Jimmy Tallerico, on the
state of Texas. How do they expect to win elections
(19:30):
on these radical socialistic policies.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well, I mean it's a really good point. And the
way I have broken this down is that there's been
a huge vacuum of Democratic leadership for quite some time,
basically since Barack Obama was president. And if you think
about Democratic primary voters in particular, they haven't cast a
meaningful ballot for president of the United States in primary
since two thousand and eight, and that Barack Obama I mean,
(19:54):
you look at twenty sixteen that basically, with super delegates
and everything else, had to make Hillary Clinton or not dominade.
In twenty twenty, they rigged the system where everybody had
to endorse Joe Biden despite the fact that he lost
the two first primaries in order for him to get
the nomination. And then, of course in twenty twenty four,
when Joe shows the world that he can't do the job,
they don't have a single meaningful vote there either. They
(20:16):
put in the vice president, Kamala Harris, and me I'll
see how that worked out. So there's a whole bunch
of pent up aggression and the progressive left about not
being able to determine the direction of their party. And
what has happened is you break into two categories. One
category is what I call the Abigail Spamberger routine.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Who's now got a disaster, an absolute disaster.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But her routine is that she convinces everybody she's just
a regular old mom who's just out there working with
Republicans and Democrats and the best interests of everybody right
up into the point where you get elected. And then
you turn around and do the mom Donnie agenda, right,
they have to trick you, they have to lie to you,
because you can't win this day like Virginia unless.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You just don't. You think people say through that though, Well.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
They didn't in Virginia, Governor, and I'm afraid that's that
has the capacity. To Look at Roy Cooper in North Carolina.
I think that's another one that is basically on the
chopping block for that same routine. But then you've got
the other side, the second category, which is the Mamdanie routine.
And it's what you've seen in Graham Platner, it's what
you see in James tall Rico, it's what you see
(21:27):
in a whole bunch of places around the country where
they're like, you know what, let's dispense with all the
pretenses here and tell you exactly what it is that
we think. And most people in the center of this
country find it completely objectionable. They are hoping that there's
enough wind at their back just by the environmental political
wins of the midterm when a party's in power, that
(21:48):
they can get these people across. But there isn't a
dimes worth the difference between the two.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So let's try to apply what you're talking about, And
let me set it up this way, and that is,
you know, one thing I know Ruthless likes to talk
about as sports, and some outlets have already predicted which
teams are going to win the college football playoffs. So
let me put you into the prediction game in politics.
(22:15):
Which party do you think is going to win the
United States Senate?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Well, I think in the Senate it's going to be
tighter than Republicans wanted to be. I think there is
a cycle where you looked at the map and you
had a lot of opportunities out there to at least
hold what you got, which is fifty three in the Senate.
I think they're going to be looking to just try
to hold the line at fifty one. But I do
think that they can do it, and I think if
you look at the polls that have come out from Fox,
New York Times and others over the last couple of weeks,
(22:43):
it shows Republicans aren't position to do that, but it
is going to be a dogfight. And as we've found out,
if you look at the behavior of the Democratic Party,
they're willing to do absolutely anything, whether that is replaced candidates,
as they're doing in May, whether it's running independence like
they're doing in Nebraska, who are basically Democratic socialists, but
(23:03):
they're trying to take an independent brand because the brand
of the Democratic Party is like sub fifteen percent approval.
They're going to do absolutely everything that they can do
to try to get home on that deal. But I
ultimately think we hold the United States Senate, but it
is going to be a lot thinner than people want
it to be.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And how about the US House? And when you answer that,
take into consideration the states that may be picked up
by Republicans because of redistricting.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Well, I think you hit the nail on the head
right there. And obviously texas As is always the case, Governor,
you guys lead the way on this kind of thing.
And I do think that when all of the cards
were put on the table, redistricting ended up to be
an incredibly advantageous thing for Republicans. And you start with
anywhere from nine to twelve seats that are in a
better spot. I think without that it would have been very,
(23:55):
very difficult for Republicans to hold the majority. With that,
I do think that republic deserving position to hold the majority.
But here's the end prediction no matter what. Because of districts,
the way that they're drawn, and the polarized nation that
we are unfortunately sitting on top. At this point, you're
going to deal with a very ten majority one way
(24:15):
or another in the House of Representatives. This is not
going to be separated by more than five seats the way.
I like Republicans' chances right now, I think they're doing
what they need to be doing. But you've got to
be real focused on the economy going down this stretch,
and I'm hoping there's a renewed effort to discuss about
all that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I think if you told Speaker Johnson he would have
a fight five seat majority, he would have a party
he hasn't had that letter to that's just crazy. Well, listen,
we only have about two minutes left, and I want
you to share with the audience a little bit more
about Ruthless. Now, how'd you guys get started, what brought
that show to fruition, and what makes it such a
great success right now?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Well, you know, it's good people like you and people
across the country who not only enjoy getting news and
information from a bunch of people who have done it
for a living, and been on the inside and give
you sort of a unique insight into what's happening and
you're not going to get in the news. But it's
also a younger generation who really appreciates the long form
(25:18):
discussion with key people like yourself and then can.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Have some laughs.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And you know, I think that was our niche in
the marketplace right from the very beginning, is that we
found dark humor and all kinds of different situations. And
I've always said about politics, like, if you're not laughing,
you're crying, because there is so much to laugh about
on a day to day basis. I mean, challenge anybody
to flip on C Span and look at the House
of Representatives every morning in the one minute speeches that
(25:45):
they get. If you're not laughing, like an evening at
the improv, I have gotten nothing for you. I mean it,
it's comedy old and they create the material all day,
every day. And so you know, all we attempt to
do is provide some unique insight the younger generation that
wants a little bit of entertainment and laughs while they're
consuming important information. And you know, we were the most
(26:07):
surprised of anybody that it actually worked out.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, watching some of the c SPAN shows is kind
of like going back in time and watching some of
those Moning Python episodes. You may recall those, but you
guys do provide those laughs as well as as the insight,
and it's just fabulous in five seconds or ten seconds.
What do you think it means to have podcasts in
our world today as opposed to the short form.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I think it's an important niche in the marketplace that
you just don't get on a lot of different conservative
outlets that can do a longer form discussion and can
sort of contextualize a lot of what it is that
you're seeing. And it's an often thing, right, it's not
on in the background. If you're choosing to listen to it,
you're focused on it, and so you know, the listeners
that listen to it, they really they want news and
(26:54):
information and some laughs and we try to provide it
for them.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, thank you, Thank you guys, thanks for doing it.
Listen and look forward to seeing you guys in Austin,
Texas the second Saturday in September for the big game
between Ohio State and the University of Texas. Thanks again
to Josh Holmes with Ruthless Podcast. This is again Governor
Greg Abbott for sitting in for the Sean Hennity Show.
(27:19):
And you can find me at Texas Governor Greg Abbott
at Greg Abbott Underscore t X Nity Watch, keep it
in an eye on breaking news and bringing it to
you first, Sean Hannity. This is Texas Governor Greg Abbott
(28:06):
and I am your guest host today for the Sean
Hannity Show. And one thing I've been following is the
World Cup as much on social media as watching the
games on TV. And you know, the World Cup has
garnered extraordinary acclaim for the United States. Our fellow Americans
are pumped up about our own country, but visitors from
other countries are beside themselves about how great America is.
(28:31):
Have you guys seen or heard those stories on social
media about a gas station and a convenience store called BUCkies,
People that have no knowledge about it whatsoever, They are
desperately wanting to go to a BUCkies. Well, they got
some good news for you. Our next guest is the
CEO and the founder of BUCkies. He is Arch Beaver
(28:53):
Appland I BUCkies is a legend, and today we're going
to talk with the man behind the legend Beaver. Thank
you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yes, sir, how are you governor? Having doing well?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Great to visit with you again, So help us understand,
especially for those who have heard about BUCkies but have
never actually been there, what exactly is a Buckey store
and how has the world phenomenon and during the World
Cup affected your business?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Well, you know, we call them travel centers. They started out,
I guess some people call them convenience stores because we
sell the typical convenience store items, but much more than that,
much bigger array of choices, inventory, food. Not uncommon to
have one hundred and twenty fueling positions be on a
(29:44):
twenty twenty five acre site. The stores were building now
seventy four seventy five thousand square feet, so some people
referred to it as as a convenience store on steroids.
So they're pretty pretty big if you haven't been to one.
They're typically on interstates scattered around the United States. And
(30:05):
and something I quite honestly didn't see coming when travelers
started coming to the US for the World Cup, they
had never seen anything like it, And it actually went
viral and started up quite a quite a bit of
fun and quite a bit of excitement people coming to
(30:26):
their many things in America the first they'd ever seen,
but BUCkies being one of them. It was a big
hit with the with the soccer fans.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So if you if you had to name one or
two things, what what are the biggest magnets that attract
people there are? What are one or two things that
people are most excited about after visiting a Bucky's.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You know, Governor, I don't they. I just think they've
never seen anything like it where where they come from.
It's the retail is basic, kind of a different world,
and so they just were in all of the sheer
size and scale. But when they got inside some of
the product offering to we have most have not had
good old fashioned Texas barbecue that we kind of take
(31:09):
for granted. Sometimes they loved the barbecue. They loved you know,
we have quite a sweet section. We make our own
homemade fudge, and probably the most popular thing is a
product that we call beaver nuggets. And so they kind
of went crazy for the brisket and beaver nuggets.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, I call it buckis the Disneyland of gas stations
and as a wild ride where people have a lot
of fun and I don't know if you're in the
business of sharing your secrets anything like that, But if
you could share any secrets, why is it that you've
taken some gas stations and been so successful? What is
your secret?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
There?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
You know? Governor Sometimes the secrets are just simple and
right there in front of you. I just I believe
we've just kind of spent four decades just putting one
foot in front of the other, blocking and tackling, trying
to exceed our customers expectations on every level and continue
to do that. We haven't We're not gliding by on
(32:13):
our laurels. We're pushing it, pushing an envelope every day
on trying to provide the best experience, and over enough
time of putting that together is just kind of taking
traction and they can hold. I mean, I think people
really appreciate when they come shop the environment well lit, friendly, safe,
(32:36):
great product selection, and I think they just appreciate the
product that we offer well.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
They and they do. And I got to tell you
that the cleanest restrooms and the entire world will give
it up for Beaver Applin, the founder and CEO of
the Great Location BUCkies. We'll be right back
Welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show. I am Texas
Governor Greg Abbott and I am your guest host today
and very excited that we have a first time caller
to the Sean Hennity Show. But to set it up,
I want to call for a cut ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Boster coming in hot or Sister.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Cushy, nine thirteen of rapper engines, just.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Few anything for readable right now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We're now down to three raptor engines.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We can see those chops. We've just witnessed history. Well
that was the world watching in amazement at the stunning
accomplishment to catch a rocket the SpaceX had previously launched
(00:51):
as it returned to Earth. You know, Mania, Americans have
seen the marvels of SpaceX, but really don't know much
about what space X is actually doing in their lives
right now. And there is nobody better in the world,
I should say, maybe in the universe to describe that
than none other than Elon Musk. Elon, Welcome to Sean
(01:13):
Hennity Show.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Thank you for having me listen.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
You know you and I have talked before about your
vision and about what you're doing, and I know that
you've visited with those who have invested in SpaceX about
what you're doing. But the truth is probably most of
our Americans across the country really don't know much about
what space X is actually doing to affect their lives.
(01:39):
Can you give us a short explanation about what space
X actually is doing right now for the average American?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yeah, So SpaceX launches satellites that provide communication, especially the
stalling Internet system. So starlink provides global high band with
the Internet connectivity. So throughout the world, if you're anywhere
from Texas to the North Pole or the South Pole,
(02:10):
or in the middle of the Ocean, you can get
high band with low latency Internet connectivity. And it's it's
the only such system that exists in the world. So
that's that's the main thing that we launch with with SpaceX.
Then SpaceX also is the main provider to NASA for
transporting astronauts to and from the space station, as well
(02:31):
as reupplinment space station with cargo and bringing scientific experiments
to and from the space station. So in fact, we're
currently the only the only spacecraft. Our Dragon spacecraft is
the only spacecraft that is qualified by NASA to transport
ationaluts to and from the space station besides the Russian
(02:53):
SOYUS system, So we transport both the US and international
astronauts to and from the space station.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So for those starlink deployments, about how many launches do
you have a year? And about how many satellites do
you have across the universe?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah, So SpaceX right now delivers about eighty five percent
of all the payloads orbit of Earth. So of the
remaining fifteen percent, most of that is China, and then
I think they're probably about eight percent, and then about
roughly seven percent is the rest of the world, including
(03:35):
the rest of the US. So SpaceX transports almost ten
times as many satellites to orbit as the rest of
the world combined.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, So after you move on from deploying satellites, as
you cast your vision toward the next ten years, which,
by the way, every time I talk to you, it
seems like you're constantly thinking ten or even twenty or
more years than that ahead. But what do you see
SpaceX doing ten years from now?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Well, hopefully we've established a base on the Moon, so
and not just a base with a small number of people,
but in ten years, hopefully we've enabled thousands, if not
tens of thousands of people to go to the Moon,
which makes it's going to see, it's gonna seem like
(04:29):
a pretty outrageous number, given that you know, there's only
about a dozen or so people that have been to
the Moon so far. But our starship system is designed
to carry ultimately tens of thousands of tons to the
Moon to create effectively a city on the Moon and
(04:51):
ultimately a city on Mars as well. And the overapching
goal of SpaceX is to extend life and consciousness as
we know beyond Earth, to the rest of the Solar
System and eventually to other star systems.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So about how many years from now would it take
to actually build a city on the Moon? What are
we talking about?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Five?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Ten years more or less.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, I think we'll have landed up first people on
the Moon in less than five years. If things go well,
we might be able to put the first astronauts on
the Moon in two to three years, and then and
then expand rapidly from there, so that in say ten
(05:39):
years from now, there are thousands.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Of people on the Moon, and that's just go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
We want to ultimately make its up that anyone who
wants to go to the Moon. I any remember the
public but that wants to go to the moon can
go to the Moon and go to Mars.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So a person who wants to go to the moon,
you see astronauts go up there and they stay there
for a couple of days and come back. But you're
talking about a city on the moon. So when you
are talking ten years from now and people are going
to the moon, will they be staying there for weeks, months, years?
What would it be like?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yes, I think it's up to the person. They may
wish to go for a vacation on the moon, or
they may wish to move permanently to the Moon, depending
on the individual. But I think we want to It
would be very cool to have a full blown, self
sustaining city on the moon, like an actual metropolis on
(06:38):
the moon. So the goal is the way to think
about it is we want to make the things that
people see in science fiction not fiction. We want to
make them real and become a true space bearing civilization
where we're out there among the stars. And I think
that's that's a very inspiring future. That's one where you know,
(06:59):
I think people can really look forward to it, and
there need to be things in life that are not
just about solving one miserable problem after another. We need
to solve the problems of Earth, of course, but we
also need things that inspire us about the future and
make us glad to be alive.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And you know, I think it'd be a heck of
a honeymoon trip to take a trip to the moon,
your honeymoon. Let's not go to Singapore, Let's go to
the Moon this year. That's that's something in the future.
So another thing that I've heard you talk about is
building data centers in space. Is that something that's going
to be a reality, and if so, when.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, I think the way to expand compute is really
in space. There's a lot of room in space. And
if you look at the size of Earth relative to
the Sun or relative to the Solar System, you realize
just how tiny it is. We're very, very tiny. We
(08:01):
only receive about half a billion of the Sun's energy.
So you can really think of Earth as being like
a tiny deskmote in a vast aarkness. So the way
to expand compute without you know, using up all the
land on Earth is to do so in space. And
(08:23):
then you can do it without using space for power
and water on Earth, you can just you just do
it in space. So I think we'll probably be launching
our first AI satellites next year, and then we'll be
(08:43):
able to do that, I think at large scale in
about two years.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's just just incredible. Well, listen, you know, you're such
an aspiring individual and you have accomplished so much, and
you still have so much ahead of you. But you know,
you inspired different people in different ways, and one of
which is what happened in the aftermath of SpaceX becoming
a public company where people could go to the psych
(09:12):
Exchange and buy SpaceX stock. And when that happened, it
suddenly made fortunes for long standing SpaceX employees. And there
was a story that I'm sure you've heard about and
know about very well, and that it was about a
welder who i think began working for SpaceX in twenty fifteen,
making about twenty eight dollars an hour, who when SpaceX
(09:34):
became a public company, it became a millionaire. What do
you think it means to the American dream that welders
at SpaceX can work hard and then become independently wealthy
because they work for such a remarkable business. Like SpaceX.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, I've always haid the philosophy that everyone at the
companies should receive us in the company so that they
can participate in the outside of the company. And it's
great for aligning incentives as well, so as the company
prospers than the people at the company, the employees also prosper.
So that's just been you know, my philosophy from day
(10:16):
one is to make sure everyone gets stock in the company.
So there are I think several thousand people who've been made.
It's not just one welder, it's it's several thousand people
who were working on the production line. And if they
started the company relatively early, then then probably their stock
(10:39):
is worth over a million dollars at this point.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Just astonishing. Listen, you've been fabuous. I got two more
quick questions for you. What you mentioned Mars earlier. What
does the Mars timeline look like with regard to what
you want to accomplish there we're talking more than ten years,
twenty years give a center approximation.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, so with Mars is much harder to get to
than the Moon, and you can only travel to Mars
roughly every two years. So the birth of Mars, the
planets align such that you can do you can travel
to Mars only once every twenty six months. So so
that's that. That makes it a lot harder than the Moon,
(11:24):
where you can go to the Moon pretty much pretty
much anytime, and and and and it only takes a
few days to get to the Moon, whereas it takes
about six months to get to Mars. So so that's that,
that's why we can do the Moon faster than we
can do Mars. But I think probably if things go well,
we can we can probably send the first people to
(11:47):
Mars in about five years, and and and then rapidly
increase the the kittens of sending people to Mars thereafter,
So every every two years would dramatically increase the number
of ships going to Mars, and hopefully in the ten
(12:07):
or twelve year timeframe we're sent thousands of people tomorrows.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Just astonishing. Well, listen, you've been a great guest and
a great Texan, I must add, and we're proud that
you are in Texas. We're proud that space x is
headquartered in Texas. We're proud. I'm going to quote you
here about something you said at the announcement of terror
fab that all of your exes live in Texas, and
(12:34):
of course Star Base Texas is in the lone Star
state and will be known not just around the world,
but pursuing to your aspirations, it's going to be known
around the universe. And so I got a really tough
question for you, and that is, now that you have
all these Texas connections, can we finally get a Texas
(12:57):
emoji flag on your platform from X.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Sure? I will. I will ask the team to make
Texas like very flag. And you know, we've got a
giant Texas flag. I'm here at the Giga Texas factory
right now. We've got a big Texas flag, you know,
American flag in a Texas flag just right right outside
the building. And yeah, it's something i'd like to thank.
(13:23):
Thank you and everyone for over sports recruiting in Texas.
It's a great state to do business in. It's super
supportive and I think really emblematic of American values. So
you know, I love being here and I love being
in Texas.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Thank you, very proud of you. Keep up your great
work and maybe we'll see on the moon one day.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
All right, sounds good to.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Take carry it on. What a guest. What a man
who's the leading visionary of our time, Thomas Edison. Just
like that, maybe even bigger, dreaming for the stars and
actually reaching the stars, unlike anybody in the history of mankind.
(14:09):
The one and only Elon Musk. Listen, We're going to
take a quick break. We'll be right back again to
The Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Elections, Paul's campaign. It's the latest news on your candidate.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
We've got you covered this election year, knocking in right here.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
On the Sean Hannity Show. Welcome back to the Sean
(14:59):
Hennedy Show. I am Texas Governor Greg Abbott and I'm
your guest host today and we had a fantastic show already.
We just got through interviewing the one and only Elon Musk,
and coming up next is Josh Holmes with The Ruthless Podcast.
They cover conservative commentary, sports, everything you could want to
(15:19):
talk about. And I had the opportunity to visit with
them live in person at the Republican Party convention in
Milwaukee and had a blast with these guys. You're going
to find them entertaining, interesting as well as very insightful
about political commentary. We're going to get in and mix
(15:40):
it up on some things that we talked about earlier,
such as the growing rise of socialism. So stay tuned
for Josh Holmes with a Ruthless podcast coming up next, Ruthless.
I got to tell you they are go get them,
and they are nationwide and with a lot of pride.
(16:01):
I want you to know this again, is a Sean
Hennedy Show, and this is Governa Greg Abbatt your guest.
Stay tuned for Josh Holmes with a Ruthless podcast. He
(16:53):
never stops working for the good of a country. Sean
Hannity with behind the scenes information on today's breaking news.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Hannity is on right now.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hi, welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show. I am
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, your guest host today, and I'm
please to welcome our next guest, and that is Josh
Holmes with the Ruthless Podcast. Ruthless is a just a
remarkable podcast, if I can say this, because I've never
been on Shawn's podcast, but I have been on Ruthless,
(17:28):
and the Ruthless Podcast is my favorite podcast. I had
a great time with these guys in person at the
Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, you know one thing, Josh,
that I enjoyed visiting with you guys about him. I'm
talking about Josh Holmes with Ruthless. I enjoyed a visit
with you guys about politics, obviously at the Republican Party convention,
(17:49):
but also sports. And I'm going to put you on
the spot, however, no commitment needed right now. But you know,
in Texas, we've got college football coming up sometime here
pretty and we got what's going to be the biggest
game of the second week of the college football season,
when Ohio State comes and plays in Texas. And if
(18:10):
you guys are free, you should come on down to Austin,
Texas and do your podcast from the Texas Governor has mentioned,
and then we can go out and watch some outstanding
college football. But that will be for another day. Josh,
tell me what you guys have been up to.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I don't think I've ever received a more welcomed invitation
to radio show than that I've heard that unequivocal Yes.
Details to follow. By the way, hated off to Sean
forgetting a substitute of the governor of Texas. My goodness, gracious,
it's an honor to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Great to visit with you again. And you know, one
thing that Sean talks about a lot, You guys talk
about a lot, and so do I, especially with James
Tallerrico running for office in Texas. You know, one thing
we're seeing across the country is this growing rise in socialism,
especially in the Democratic Party this election cycle. And what
(19:08):
I have a hard time trying to figure out is
where is this coming from? Because to me is when
you look at the policies they're trying to advance. You know,
you could have worked in New York City, you could
have worked in some place like California. But how in
the world are these socialists, including Jimmy Tallerico, on the
state of Texas. How do they expect to win elections
(19:30):
on these radical socialistic policies.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well, I mean it's a really good point. And the
way I have broken this down is that there's been
a huge vacuum of Democratic leadership for quite some time,
basically since Barack Obama was president. And if you think
about Democratic primary voters in particular, they haven't cast a
meaningful ballot for president of the United States in primary
since two thousand and eight, and that Barack Obama I mean,
(19:54):
you look at twenty sixteen that basically, with super delegates
and everything else, had to make Hillary Clinton or not dominade.
In twenty twenty, they rigged the system where everybody had
to endorse Joe Biden despite the fact that he lost
the two first primaries in order for him to get
the nomination. And then, of course in twenty twenty four,
when Joe shows the world that he can't do the job,
they don't have a single meaningful vote there either. They
(20:16):
put in the vice president, Kamala Harris, and me I'll
see how that worked out. So there's a whole bunch
of pent up aggression and the progressive left about not
being able to determine the direction of their party. And
what has happened is you break into two categories. One
category is what I call the Abigail Spamberger routine.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Who's now got a disaster, an absolute disaster.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But her routine is that she convinces everybody she's just
a regular old mom who's just out there working with
Republicans and Democrats and the best interests of everybody right
up into the point where you get elected. And then
you turn around and do the mom Donnie agenda, right,
they have to trick you, they have to lie to you,
because you can't win this day like Virginia unless.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You just don't. You think people say through that though, Well.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
They didn't in Virginia, Governor, and I'm afraid that's that
has the capacity. To Look at Roy Cooper in North Carolina.
I think that's another one that is basically on the
chopping block for that same routine. But then you've got
the other side, the second category, which is the Mamdanie routine.
And it's what you've seen in Graham Platner, it's what
you see in James tall Rico, it's what you see
(21:27):
in a whole bunch of places around the country where
they're like, you know what, let's dispense with all the
pretenses here and tell you exactly what it is that
we think. And most people in the center of this
country find it completely objectionable. They are hoping that there's
enough wind at their back just by the environmental political
wins of the midterm when a party's in power, that
(21:48):
they can get these people across. But there isn't a
dimes worth the difference between the two.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So let's try to apply what you're talking about, And
let me set it up this way, and that is,
you know, one thing I know Ruthless likes to talk
about as sports, and some outlets have already predicted which
teams are going to win the college football playoffs. So
let me put you into the prediction game in politics.
(22:15):
Which party do you think is going to win the
United States Senate?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Well, I think in the Senate it's going to be
tighter than Republicans wanted to be. I think there is
a cycle where you looked at the map and you
had a lot of opportunities out there to at least
hold what you got, which is fifty three in the Senate.
I think they're going to be looking to just try
to hold the line at fifty one. But I do
think that they can do it, and I think if
you look at the polls that have come out from Fox,
New York Times and others over the last couple of weeks,
(22:43):
it shows Republicans aren't position to do that, but it
is going to be a dogfight. And as we've found out,
if you look at the behavior of the Democratic Party,
they're willing to do absolutely anything, whether that is replaced candidates,
as they're doing in May, whether it's running independence like
they're doing in Nebraska, who are basically Democratic socialists, but
(23:03):
they're trying to take an independent brand because the brand
of the Democratic Party is like sub fifteen percent approval.
They're going to do absolutely everything that they can do
to try to get home on that deal. But I
ultimately think we hold the United States Senate, but it
is going to be a lot thinner than people want
it to be.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And how about the US House? And when you answer that,
take into consideration the states that may be picked up
by Republicans because of redistricting.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Well, I think you hit the nail on the head
right there. And obviously texas As is always the case, Governor,
you guys lead the way on this kind of thing.
And I do think that when all of the cards
were put on the table, redistricting ended up to be
an incredibly advantageous thing for Republicans. And you start with
anywhere from nine to twelve seats that are in a
better spot. I think without that it would have been very,
(23:55):
very difficult for Republicans to hold the majority. With that,
I do think that republic deserving position to hold the majority.
But here's the end prediction no matter what. Because of districts,
the way that they're drawn, and the polarized nation that
we are unfortunately sitting on top. At this point, you're
going to deal with a very ten majority one way
(24:15):
or another in the House of Representatives. This is not
going to be separated by more than five seats the way.
I like Republicans' chances right now, I think they're doing
what they need to be doing. But you've got to
be real focused on the economy going down this stretch,
and I'm hoping there's a renewed effort to discuss about
all that.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I think if you told Speaker Johnson he would have
a fight five seat majority, he would have a party
he hasn't had that letter to that's just crazy. Well, listen,
we only have about two minutes left, and I want
you to share with the audience a little bit more
about Ruthless. Now, how'd you guys get started, what brought
that show to fruition, and what makes it such a
great success right now?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Well, you know, it's good people like you and people
across the country who not only enjoy getting news and
information from a bunch of people who have done it
for a living, and been on the inside and give
you sort of a unique insight into what's happening and
you're not going to get in the news. But it's
also a younger generation who really appreciates the long form
(25:18):
discussion with key people like yourself and then can.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Have some laughs.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And you know, I think that was our niche in
the marketplace right from the very beginning, is that we
found dark humor and all kinds of different situations. And
I've always said about politics, like, if you're not laughing,
you're crying, because there is so much to laugh about
on a day to day basis. I mean, challenge anybody
to flip on C Span and look at the House
of Representatives every morning in the one minute speeches that
(25:45):
they get. If you're not laughing, like an evening at
the improv, I have gotten nothing for you. I mean it,
it's comedy old and they create the material all day,
every day. And so you know, all we attempt to
do is provide some unique insight the younger generation that
wants a little bit of entertainment and laughs while they're
consuming important information. And you know, we were the most
(26:07):
surprised of anybody that it actually worked out.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, watching some of the c SPAN shows is kind
of like going back in time and watching some of
those Moning Python episodes. You may recall those, but you
guys do provide those laughs as well as as the insight,
and it's just fabulous in five seconds or ten seconds.
What do you think it means to have podcasts in
our world today as opposed to the short form.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I think it's an important niche in the marketplace that
you just don't get on a lot of different conservative
outlets that can do a longer form discussion and can
sort of contextualize a lot of what it is that
you're seeing. And it's an often thing, right, it's not
on in the background. If you're choosing to listen to it,
you're focused on it, and so you know, the listeners
that listen to it, they really they want news and
(26:54):
information and some laughs and we try to provide it
for them.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, thank you, Thank you guys, thanks for doing it.
Listen and look forward to seeing you guys in Austin,
Texas the second Saturday in September for the big game
between Ohio State and the University of Texas. Thanks again
to Josh Holmes with Ruthless Podcast. This is again Governor
Greg Abbott for sitting in for the Sean Hennity Show.
(27:19):
And you can find me at Texas Governor Greg Abbott
at Greg Abbott Underscore t X Nity Watch, keep it
in an eye on breaking news and bringing it to
you first, Sean Hannity. This is Texas Governor Greg Abbott
(28:06):
and I am your guest host today for the Sean
Hannity Show. And one thing I've been following is the
World Cup as much on social media as watching the
games on TV. And you know, the World Cup has
garnered extraordinary acclaim for the United States. Our fellow Americans
are pumped up about our own country, but visitors from
other countries are beside themselves about how great America is.
(28:31):
Have you guys seen or heard those stories on social
media about a gas station and a convenience store called BUCkies,
People that have no knowledge about it whatsoever, They are
desperately wanting to go to a BUCkies. Well, they got
some good news for you. Our next guest is the
CEO and the founder of BUCkies. He is Arch Beaver
(28:53):
Appland I BUCkies is a legend, and today we're going
to talk with the man behind the legend Beaver. Thank
you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yes, sir, how are you governor? Having doing well?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Great to visit with you again, So help us understand,
especially for those who have heard about BUCkies but have
never actually been there, what exactly is a Buckey store
and how has the world phenomenon and during the World
Cup affected your business?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Well, you know, we call them travel centers. They started out,
I guess some people call them convenience stores because we
sell the typical convenience store items, but much more than that,
much bigger array of choices, inventory, food. Not uncommon to
have one hundred and twenty fueling positions be on a
(29:44):
twenty twenty five acre site. The stores were building now
seventy four seventy five thousand square feet, so some people
referred to it as as a convenience store on steroids.
So they're pretty pretty big if you haven't been to one.
They're typically on interstates scattered around the United States. And
(30:05):
and something I quite honestly didn't see coming when travelers
started coming to the US for the World Cup, they
had never seen anything like it, And it actually went
viral and started up quite a quite a bit of
fun and quite a bit of excitement people coming to
(30:26):
their many things in America the first they'd ever seen,
but BUCkies being one of them. It was a big
hit with the with the soccer fans.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
So if you if you had to name one or
two things, what what are the biggest magnets that attract
people there are? What are one or two things that
people are most excited about after visiting a Bucky's.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You know, Governor, I don't they. I just think they've
never seen anything like it where where they come from.
It's the retail is basic, kind of a different world,
and so they just were in all of the sheer
size and scale. But when they got inside some of
the product offering to we have most have not had
good old fashioned Texas barbecue that we kind of take
(31:09):
for granted. Sometimes they loved the barbecue. They loved you know,
we have quite a sweet section. We make our own
homemade fudge, and probably the most popular thing is a
product that we call beaver nuggets. And so they kind
of went crazy for the brisket and beaver nuggets.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, I call it buckis the Disneyland of gas stations
and as a wild ride where people have a lot
of fun and I don't know if you're in the
business of sharing your secrets anything like that, But if
you could share any secrets, why is it that you've
taken some gas stations and been so successful? What is
your secret?
Speaker 4 (31:49):
There?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
You know? Governor Sometimes the secrets are just simple and
right there in front of you. I just I believe
we've just kind of spent four decades just putting one
foot in front of the other, blocking and tackling, trying
to exceed our customers expectations on every level and continue
to do that. We haven't We're not gliding by on
(32:13):
our laurels. We're pushing it, pushing an envelope every day
on trying to provide the best experience, and over enough
time of putting that together is just kind of taking
traction and they can hold. I mean, I think people
really appreciate when they come shop the environment well lit, friendly, safe,
(32:36):
great product selection, and I think they just appreciate the
product that we offer well.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
They and they do. And I got to tell you
that the cleanest restrooms and the entire world will give
it up for Beaver Applin, the founder and CEO of
the Great Location BUCkies. We'll be right back
