Unknown A
Guys, they did an interview. The president and vice president, if you can believe it. Exclusive interview with President Trump and Elon Musk, hosted by Sean Hannity, our favorite guy. Take a look.
-
Unknown B
I gotta start with this. So he's working for free with Doge. He's. He's kind of put a lot of his life on hold. And you sued Twitter a number of years ago.
-
Unknown A
You just made right off the bat, you know, wealthiest man in the world, just totally altruistic. Definitely not, you know, no benefit being taken from completely seizing control of the government. So a puff piece of propaganda. Yeah, of course. What do you think? Elon and Trump are going to be doing adversarial interviews?
-
Unknown B
It didn't pay you $10 million.
-
Unknown C
That's right.
-
Unknown B
That's right.
-
Unknown C
Well, I see I sued from long before he had it.
-
Unknown D
Yeah, yeah.
-
Unknown C
And I mean, they really did a number on me, you know, and I sued and they had to Pay. They paid $10 million settlement.
-
Unknown B
You're okay with that?
-
Unknown D
I mean, I left it up to the lawyers and, you know, the team running Twitter. So I said, you guys do what you think is the right. It makes sense.
-
Unknown B
I think it's funny.
-
Unknown C
I think, God, he looks like. I was looking to get much more money than that.
-
Unknown B
So you gave him a discount when the lawsuit.
-
Unknown C
He got a dis. Oh, he got a big discount. I don't think he even knows about it.
-
Unknown B
He's become one of your. If you read and believe the media, he's become one of your best friends. He's working for free for you. Well, I love the president.
-
Unknown D
I just want to be clear about that.
-
Unknown B
Twitter, I don't care about that.
-
Unknown D
I know.
-
Unknown B
I love the. I love the president.
-
Unknown D
I think. I think President Trump is a good man.
-
Unknown A
Kiss.
-
Unknown D
And he's.
-
Unknown C
You know what he said that, you know, there's something nice about.
-
Unknown D
Really is, you know, because, I mean.
-
Unknown A
You'Re not going to get much productive out of me for this 40 minutes. By the way. This is another one of the. It's literally like a fascist puff piece. I might as well read Mein Kampf and then, like, shake my head at the camera every time I read something that's wrong. You know why we're here.
-
Unknown D
The president has been so unfairly attacked in the media. It's truly outrageous. And I've, at this point, spent a lot of time with the president, and not once have I seen him do something that was mean or cruel or wrong. Not once.
-
Unknown B
You know, I've known him for 30 years.
-
Unknown D
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
And I've Never seen anybody take as much as he's taken.
-
Unknown D
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
And we've discussed this and I'm like, how do you deal with it?
-
Unknown C
Did I have a choice?
-
Unknown B
Well, you would say that to me. I'm like, what am I, what am I going to do? Worry about it and you know. And then culminating in two assassination attempts which resulted in your endorsement.
-
Unknown D
Well, I was going to do it anyway, but that was a ceptating event. Yes.
-
Unknown C
That speeded it up a little bit.
-
Unknown D
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
The day of the assassination.
-
Unknown C
I didn't know that.
-
Unknown D
Yeah, I just sped it up. But I was going to do it anyway.
-
Unknown A
Idiot. There's just like trying to manufacture a pretext and Elon is like, well, no, obviously I was going to do this anyway.
-
Unknown B
Mr. President, with your indulgence, I'm convinced that people only know a little bit about Elon. I don't think they know everything about Elon because as I studied for and prepared for this interview.
-
Unknown A
Incredible. By the way, here's our first real sit down interview with the President of the United States. Let's hear a little bit more about this guy, this unelected official right next to you. You know, we. Because we, because we know, we know who's really in charge. Elon. Oh, Elon for a while was really insistent that people call him Elon because it sounds more sci fi. But then he gave up on it. You can find a few videos of him trying to like push that and getting really dejected when people wouldn't do it. And then he gave up on it.
-
Unknown B
I learned a lot about you that I didn't know. I think people will think about Tesla. Democrats are demonizing you and trying to make the country that's real. I just want people to understand you a little bit better and the person that you've gotten to know and have now put a lot of trust in and, you know, just let's go over a little bit of your bio, starting with PayPal and how you became involved in Tesla and Neuralink and all these.
-
Unknown D
I mean, you know, I think the way to think of me is like, I'm a technologist and I try to make technologies that improve the world and make life better. Yeah. And that's why I like my T shirt says tech support, because I'm here to provide the President with technology support. And now that may seem like, well, is that a silly thing? But actually it's a very important thing because the President will make these executive orders which are very sensible and good for the country, but then they don't get implemented, you know, so if you take for example, all the funding for the migrant hotels, the president issued an executive order, hey, we need to stop taking taxpayer money and paying for luxury hotels for illegal immigrants. Which makes no sense. Like, obviously people do not.
-
Unknown A
Well, actually it was literally being done in the pursuit of processing undocumented immigrants. They didn't have enough detention space for people, so they started paying out rates for private accommodations, which was pretty much the only thing they could do. They weren't all luxury hotels. They were just taking up the hotel space. They could literally like a thing being done to advance the processing of immigrants.
-
Unknown D
But not want their tax dollars going to fund high end hotels for, for illegals. And yet they were still doing that even as late as last week. And so, you know, we went in there and we're like, this is violation of the presidential executive order. It needs to stop. So what we're doing here is one of the biggest functions of the Doge team is just making sure that the presidential executive orders are actually carried out. And this is, I just want to point out this is a very important thing because the president is the elected representative of the people, so he's representing the will of the people.
-
Unknown A
And if the bureau, they have been pushing this so hard as, again, like, we functionally don't have a democracy anymore. So it, you know, it's the, it's the like the democrats or the democratically aligned person, you know, their insistence on like procedural authority versus the imaginary fascist. Well, we have the will of the people. You know, even though 93% of the public approves of the, you know, the Park Service, we are going to cut thousands of employees from it. It doesn't matter what the people want. What matters is like the imaginary will of the people.
-
Unknown D
Democracy is fighting the will of the people and preventing the president, the president from implementing what the people want, then what we live in is a bureaucracy and not a democracy.
-
Unknown A
That's so smart, man. It's like when those midwits on the right are like, we don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic. As though those are mutually exclusive things. Democracy could exist without a bureaucracy. It's impossible. How could you possibly manage the process, the votes, without a bureaucracy?
-
Unknown B
So you have to be keenly aware that the media and, and the punditry class, not that, you know, I think you've proven they have no power anymore because they threw everything they had at you and they didn't win. And that was, you know, but they.
-
Unknown A
Still have infinite power, selectively Whenever they, you know, it's the. It's the fascist, like, they're in power, they're not in power thing. They're very strong. They're very weak. Yeah, you are the media. So it's like you're going to bounce between, like, oh, they're powerless. We want, overwhelmingly and in actuality, the deep state still exists. Elon still tweets like that, by the way, like the, the. The people they've already beaten are the real victors in society who secretly control everything while they enact unitary executive theory.
-
Unknown B
The New York Times, Washington Post, three networks, every late night comedy show, two cable channels. They. They just, they threw everything. Lawfare, weaponization. And now I see they want you two to start. They want a divorce. They want you two to start hating each other. And they try. Oh, President Elon Musk, for example. You do know that they're doing that to you?
-
Unknown C
Oh, I see it all the time. They tried it, then they stopped. That wasn't. They have many different things of hatred, actually. Elon called me, he said, you know, they're trying to drive us apart. I said, absolutely.
-
Unknown A
No, they said, Elon said that he, like, called preemptively. He was like, hey, I saw some tweets where they're calling me President Musk, just to let you know, like, I don't think of you that way.
-
Unknown C
We have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at 8:00. And I say it's just so obvious. They're so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They're actually bad at it, because if they were good at it, I'd never be president. Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things. I get 98% bad publicity. I could do outside of you and a few of your very good friends. It's like the craziest thing. But you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it.
-
Unknown D
Yeah, they do.
-
Unknown C
They get it. They really see what's happening.
-
Unknown D
Yes.
-
Unknown B
And at the end of this interview, what I would like is I want people to know the relationship and know more about you. What is the relationship, Mr. President?
-
Unknown C
Well, I respect him. I've always respected him. I never knew that he was right on certain things.
-
Unknown A
You know, between this and Donald Trump being asked if he considers JD Vance his successor and Trump saying no, it makes me wonder how much awareness or complicity There is in like the transfer of power to Elon socially, because Trump's an old man. You know, I wonder if, like, if Trump died, I wonder if they would. They would be like, you know, because Elon inherits the will of the President. Like he should actually be the president or something. Like, they wouldn't go with J.D. vance because he's not popular enough. They would like lose the sauce or something like that. I don't know. I mean, it would be just as illegal as any of the other things they've done.
-
Unknown C
And I'm usually pretty good at this stuff. He did Starlink. He did things that were so advanced and nobody knew what the hell they were. I can tell you in North Carolina, they had no communication. They were wiped out. Those people were, you know, they had rivers in between, land that never saw water. All of a sudden it was a river and a vicious, like rapids. People were dying all over. They had no communication. They said, do you know Elon Musk? They didn't really know I knew him. I said, yeah. He said, could you get Starlink? It's like the first time I ever heard of it. I said, what? Starlink, a communication system. That's unbelievable.
-
Unknown A
I don't think they're going to let non American become president. I think with how quickly they have been trying to push the unitary executive thing, and I say trying to, they've succeeded in doing so. I think they might actually do a Chancellor bid. They might actually do it. Elon does think he's God after all. He. They might actually do a, like, you know, the JD Vance graciously declines opportunity become president, says that he would rather focus on what he focuses on best in the VP slot. Elon Musk, the heroic leader of Doge, who has like saved the Republic by cost cutting and it has inherited the will of Trump, will be appointed as a temporary acting president. Why not? Like, they're already breaking the law. Why not? Like, what would happen? Who would stop that? Yeah, it does feel like they're setting him up for it.
-
Unknown A
You know, wouldn't. If Elon really was supposed to be the shadow president forever, don't you think he'd be more, I don't know, shadowy? Like, why the. Is he so loud with it?
-
Unknown C
Yeah, and he said, I called him and I said, listen, they really need it. And he got like thousands of units of this communication and it saved a lot of lives. He got it immediately and you can't get it. I mean, you have to wait a long time to get it. But he got it to him immediately. And I said, that's pretty amazing. And I didn't even know he had it. We watched the rocket ships and we watch Tesla. I think, you know, something that had an effect on me was when I saw the rocket ship come back and get grabbed like you grab a beautiful little baby. You grab your baby, it just hug the rocket. I've never seen everyone. No, but. And he said, you know, you can only have a rocket program if you're going to dump $1 billion into the ocean every time you fly, you have to save it.
-
Unknown C
And he saved it. First time that I've seen that done. Now, nobody else can do it. If you look at the U.S. russia or China, they can't do it and they won't be able to do it for a long time. He has the technology, so you learn. I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in terms of the country. A very important aspect, because, I mean, he doesn't talk about it. He's actually a very good businessman. And when he talks about the executive.
-
Unknown A
Orders, and this is probably genuine question, have you ever heard Donald Trump talk about anybody like this? Normally when he talks about other good businessmen, he does so in an adversarial sense, you know what I mean? Or fake adversarial, where he's like, oh, that guy is a hell of a dealer, but, you know, I could whittle him down. Have you ever heard Donald Trump just like, nonstop glaze anyone like this, apart from himself? He's in love. He doesn't talk about his kids this way, not his wife. He doesn't talk about Xi or Kim or Putin this way. Like it's. This is. This is just completely unprecedented. He never talked about Vance or Pence this way.
-
Unknown C
True for all presidents. You write an executive order and you think it's done, you send it out. It doesn't get done. It doesn't get implemented. They don't implement it. They maybe they're from the last administration and they are, in some cases, you try and get them out as fast as you can. But I could, as soon as he said that, I said, you know, that's interesting. You write a beautiful executive and you sign it and you assume it's going to be done, but it's not. What he does is he takes it. And with his hundred geniuses, he's got some very brilliant young people working for him that dresses much worse than him. Actually, they dress in just T shirts.
-
Unknown A
This. It sounds like how an enigmatic, you know, drunkard Chinese emperor would describe his closest Consuls, you know what I mean? The 100 geniuses, they go from, like, town to town just admitting he doesn't understand how the government works. Well, you don't need to understand something to break it.
-
Unknown C
You wouldn't know. They have 180.
-
Unknown B
Wait a minute, so he's. He's your tech support?
-
Unknown C
No, no, he is, actually, but he's much more than that. Actually.
-
Unknown D
I'm tech support, though.
-
Unknown C
But he gets it done. He's a leader. Yeah, he really is. He gets it done. You get a lot of.
-
Unknown A
He doesn't talk like this about anyone.
-
Unknown C
But he gets it done. You know, I said in real estate, you had guys that would draw beautiful renderings of a building, and they'd draw the rendering. It would be great. And you say, great, what are you starting? But they were never able to get it built. They couldn't get the financings, they couldn't get the approvals. It would never get done. And then you have. Other guys are able to get it done. You know, they could just get it done. I was in real estate. Same thing in this. He gets it done. So when he said that, he said, you know, when you sign these executive orders, a lot of them don't get done. And maybe the most important ones. And he would take that executive order that I'd signed, and he would have those people go to whatever agency it was. When are you doing it?
-
Unknown C
Get it done. Get it done. And some guy that maybe didn't want to do it, all of a sudden he's signing, he just doesn't want to be bothered.
-
Unknown B
Do a lot of those executive orders have to be codified into law? You need the Republican Congress.
-
Unknown C
And they will. A lot of them will be. Look, in the meantime, we have four years. The beauty is we have four years. That's why I like doing it right at the beginning, because an executive order is great. I mean, the one problem is both good and bad, because when they did all these executive orders, I've canceled most of them. They were terrible. I mean, we're going to go radical left, communists, okay. It was crazy there, really. Executive orders were so bad, if they ever got them codified, you'd never be able to break them. So the damage that Biden has done to this country. And it's not even Biden, it's the people that circled him in the Oval Office on. Okay, but the damage they did to this country in terms of, let's say, open borders, you know, there's so many things, but open borders where millions of people poured into our country.
-
Unknown C
And hundreds of thousands of those people are criminals, they're murderers, they're drug dealers, they're gang members, they're people from prisons from all over the world. And we have a great guy, Tom Holman, and he is doing so.
-
Unknown A
Oh, reel it back. You're talking about someone positively who is a 95%.
-
Unknown B
95%.
-
Unknown C
He is a phenomenal guy. And Kristi Noem is doing an unbelievable job. And he wanted her. He said, she's so tough. And I said, I don't think of her as that way. You know, she's very nice. He said, no, she's so tough. And she is. I see. With the horses. She's riding the horse. Let's go. She's great. But the team we have is, is really unbelievable. But those executive orders, I sign them and now they get passed on to him and his group and other people. And they're all getting done. We're getting them done.
-
Unknown B
Let me, let me go back a little bit to your background because it's. Sure, it's beyond impressive. You were the chief engineer, for example.
-
Unknown A
Why does Elon do this hand thing or that. Do that hand thing? He's extremely self conscious. You can, you can tell all the time that he's thinking about how to hold his body. He's always doing some weird, like standing stiffly or like the heat. He never seems to like, naturally. He's very autistic. I mean, that's not. Was never an engineer. No, he's never been an engineer.
-
Unknown B
Oh, you were an early believer in Tesla. He became the CEO and, and then the chief engineer, which was phenomenal. SpaceX, same thing. Which is unbelievable. I mean, you were the first company, private company to send astronauts successfully into. Into space. First private company to send astronauts into orbit. Yeah, that's. That's pretty deep.
-
Unknown C
He's going to go into orbit. No, he's going to go to Mars.
-
Unknown B
He's Starlink.
-
Unknown D
At some point, he's in. They always ask me, like, do you want to die on Mars? And I say, well, yes, but not on impact.
-
Unknown B
StarLink is in 100 countries. This is going to be hard. I feel like I'm interviewing two brothers here. You go ahead. Star shield, which could be used for national defense.
-
Unknown D
Yeah, it is already being used for national defense.
-
Unknown B
Then you have a. What is it called? Optimus. A part of Tesla Robot.
-
Unknown D
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
Robotic arm. Then you have an AI arm. And then you have something that really fascinated me and it's.
-
Unknown A
I know some of you want me to comment on everything, but like Again, the whole point of this is Elon glazing, apparently. I mean, we have. There was literally like a chapter summary up through here. It seems like none of this is about Trump. Look, the final section. Trump, Elon is a very good person. It's this whole thing. I'm telling you, man, they're setting him up to be the president. Like, they. My initial estimation, my, my, my, My opening guess was that Elon was going to be like the de facto president by controlling things behind the scenes, hence the shadow president stuff. But it kind of seems like he wants the limelight too much. He's too obsessed with people's approval and attention. He's a lot like Trump in that respect. Except obviously, Trump is much, much more charismatic. So it seems like, I don't know, like, in.
-
Unknown A
In the absence of that, I feel like he might. They might just set him up to try to, like, hold that perceived institutional power as well.
-
Unknown B
Called neuralink.
-
Unknown D
Yes.
-
Unknown B
You might help the blind to see people with spinal cord injuries that they, that.
-
Unknown A
Oh, yeah, no, I mean, none of that's happened yet. But, like, you might, you know. Oh, they got rid of some of the. Some of the federal employees they got rid of, by the way, were the people who were investigating the efficacy and ethics of the neuralink product, if I remember correctly. So clearing, Clearing the path there, they.
-
Unknown B
Can recover where in the past. How close is that becoming a success?
-
Unknown D
Neuralink. We've implanted Neuralink in three patients so far who are quite.
-
Unknown A
Oh, sorry.
-
Unknown D
Allows them to directly control their phone and computer just using their mind, just by thinking. So we call this product Telepathy. So you control your computer and phone just by thinking. And it's possible to actually control the computer and phone faster than someone who has working hands. Then the next step would be to add a second neuralink implant past the point where the neurons damaged so that somebody can walk again so they can have full body functionality restored. And, and you like Bobby, right? I like Bobby, actually, yeah. I think I supported Bobby Kennedy. I think he, you know, he's unfairly maligned as someone who is anti science, but I think he isn't. He just wants to question the science, which is the essence of the science. The scientific method, fundamentally, is about always questioning the science.
-
Unknown B
Well, they didn't tell us the truth about COVID that's for sure.
-
Unknown A
This is kind of like the cuz a lot of what the Trump administration has been doing feels like it makes a lot of sense in a utilitarian way where you're like, okay, so they're trying to rape the country, rob the poor of their wealth. And then you wonder, okay, but what RFK Jr represents is bad for everyone. Like, literally all people. There will be very wealthy people who don't get, like, their kids vaccinated or whatever. They're like, the. The prevalence of this disease would be devastating to the economy of the world. Like, you know, it goes beyond that, so what's the point there? And I just. It just goes back into the death cult thing, right? Like, you have to remember Silicon Valley fascists, Peter Teal types. You know, they're not just, like, cold, utilitarian rationalists or whatever. These people are actual psychopaths. Like, they engage in, like.
-
Unknown A
Like, pagan rituals to the AI God, you know, they're crazy people. So, yeah, it's just. It's just important to keep in mind, like, you know, Hitler, Himmler, they both thought, you know, there were, like, artifacts of ancient deities strewn about the world, you know?
-
Unknown B
Sure.
-
Unknown D
Yes.
-
Unknown B
And we learned a lot with the Twitter files. And that just then raises a question. You're the richest man in the world. You may not like that part. You're pretty competitive. Known you a long time. But that's why. But he's on your team. Well, that's true. He can't top that.
-
Unknown C
You know, I wanted to find somebody smarter than him. I searched all over. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't.
-
Unknown B
You really tried hard.
-
Unknown C
I couldn't find anyone smarter. Right. So we had it for the country.
-
Unknown B
But this is the thing we settled on.
-
Unknown C
We settled on this.
-
Unknown D
Well, thanks for having me. I mean, I'm just trying to be your.
-
Unknown A
He's never talked about it.
-
Unknown B
This is where we are as anybody.
-
Unknown A
Like this. Nobody.
-
Unknown B
I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to do it anyway. You're doing all of these things. You, Doge. Nobody at DOGE gets paid a penny, correct?
-
Unknown D
Well, actually, some people are federal employees.
-
Unknown B
Yeah. They're helping.
-
Unknown D
But it's fair to say that the software engineers at DOGE could be earning millions of dollars a year instead of earning a small fraction of that as federal employees.
-
Unknown B
Okay, so.
-
Unknown C
And they're very committed people.
-
Unknown B
So you're. You're committed to helping the blind see people with spinal cord injuries or see.
-
Unknown A
Does it not feel like that's what they're doing? This is. Christ, like, deification. This is like. This is beyond. This isn't even. Like, how do we appeal to the interests of our. Of our constituency, of our viewers? This is just complete kowtowing. This is like you're making a God emperor. It's such obvious propaganda. Yeah, but it goes beyond that, man. Like, it's messianic attribution to a person who isn't even the guy they voted for. It's not just, hey, let's help our leader here. You know, it's crazy.
-
Unknown B
Yes, you're committed to getting to Mars. You're committed to rescue. You're going to help rescue next month. Two astronauts that I think were men, and they. They dispute that in an interview.
-
Unknown A
How nice of Sean Hannity to casually mention that what he's saying is a lie. Do you think Trump recognizes how profoundly stupid Elon is? I don't. I don't know. I don't know. Who knows? Who knows? His brain's pretty soupish. What if they're trying to elevate Elon as a Trump successor? Vash, what a great idea. You know, what if. Why hadn't I thought of that request or instruction?
-
Unknown D
We are accelerating the return of the astronauts, which was postponed kind of to a ridiculous degree.
-
Unknown C
They got left in space.
-
Unknown B
They've been there. They were supposed to be there eight days. They're there almost 300.
-
Unknown D
Biden, they were put. Yes, they were left up there for political reasons, which is not good.
-
Unknown B
Okay. It's not good. Now, if I had the weight of the pressure of doing that successfully on my shoulders, I think I'd be, you know. But you, when we spoke before we did this interview, you are very confident. You think this will be a successful mission.
-
Unknown D
Well, we don't want to be complacent, but we have brought astronauts back from the space station many times before and always with success.
-
Unknown A
We. I haven't really talked about this due to mostly, like, if I recall correctly, like, underfunding of NASA. That's kind of like the ultimate reason for this happening. Two astronauts who are supposed to be up for only a little bit. They haven't come back down yet. They've been up there for a long time. They haven't been abandoned. It's literally just like the gutting of our institutions. They've, by the way, cut more from NASA lately. So this problem is only going to get worse. Not that we're going to have NASA soon. NASA is going to, like, exclusively contract with SpaceX. Every dollar that goes to NASA is just going to be rerouted to SpaceX. No, it's all Boeing's fault. Yeah, but isn't the reason they were relying on Boeing because of NASA defunding, like, the reason that NASA's been doing so much like subcontracting is. Because whatever.
-
Unknown A
Anyway, it's. It's not. It's not a political thing at all. It's literally just like a technical thing. But of course, every. Never waste a crisis. Right? Never waste a crisis.
-
Unknown D
So as long as we're not complacent.
-
Unknown C
When are they. When are you going to launch?
-
Unknown D
I think it's about four weeks to bring him back.
-
Unknown B
About four weeks?
-
Unknown D
Yeah. And we're being extremely cautious.
-
Unknown C
You now have the go ahead.
-
Unknown D
Yes, well, thanks to you, they didn't.
-
Unknown C
Have the go ahead with Biden. He was going to leave him in space. I think he was going to leave him in space.
-
Unknown B
We were growing up lost in space. Yeah.
-
Unknown C
He didn't want the publicity. Can you believe it?
-
Unknown B
Unbelievable. And so I want to echo something that the President said and then ask an overarching question. So people get hit with Hurricane Helene. They have no communication with the outside world. You come to the rescue. You donated that, I believe you donated to the people.
-
Unknown C
He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina. He saved a lot of lives.
-
Unknown B
And California, after the wildfire.
-
Unknown C
California. But I mean, in North Carolina, where they were really in trouble. They had no communication. People were dying. They were dying of starvation. He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina.
-
Unknown B
Okay, now you're gonna rescue astronauts. And now again, you do. You do.
-
Unknown A
It's just all Elon glazing. Yeah. What am I supposed to say with Mo, we're mostly just, like, witnessing this, you know? I know, I know it's difficult to listen to. It's the reason why I'm partially, like, to be honest, partially checked out. Because, I mean, what do you want from me? What do you want from me, man? I'm gonna lose my mind. Yeah. When are you gonna be able to walk on water? It's literally all just glazing.
-
Unknown B
I would think liberals would love the fact that you have the biggest electric vehicle company in the world. Yeah.
-
Unknown D
I mean, I used to be adored by the left, you know.
-
Unknown B
Not anymore.
-
Unknown D
Less so these days.
-
Unknown A
Then he announced that he was a Republican to head off a story about giving a woman a quarter million dollars so she would keep quiet about him telling her to touch his penis.
-
Unknown D
Yeah, I mean, let's.
-
Unknown C
I really did it.
-
Unknown A
Sorry. A quarter million and a horse.
-
Unknown D
You know, they call it, like, Trump derangement syndrome. And you don't realize how real this is until, like, it's. You can't reason with people. So, like, I was at a friend's birthday party in la just a Birthday dinner. And it was like a nice, quiet dinner, and everything was. Everyone was behaving normally. And I happened to mention this is before the election, like a month or two before I have to mention the President's name. And it was like they got shot with a dart in the jugular that contained, like, methamphetamine and rabies. Okay.
-
Unknown A
And why the does he move like that?
-
Unknown D
The dart in the. In the jugular that contained, like, methamphetamine and rabies. Okay.
-
Unknown C
And like, I'm like, what is wrong, guys?
-
Unknown A
Like, what's that tweet? Elon's always moving, like he's trying to be the next meme format or something.
-
Unknown D
Can't have, like a normal conversation. And it's like, it's, It's. It's like that. They become completely irrational.
-
Unknown A
You're the jump, Elon.
-
Unknown B
He has no idea if you're friends with him. Yeah, you pay a price. You know, it's like walking a restaurant in New York and it's like half the room gets daggers and they want to.
-
Unknown D
No, the idaggers level is insane. I mean, there was like, I had, like, some invitation because. So I got invited to, like, basically a big sort of Dem event like that was. But I received the invitation, like, the beginning of last year and then. And I. I still attended even after I had endorsed President Trump. And I didn't realize how profoundly that would affect, you know, how it was received. I mean, I walk into the room and I'm getting just the dirty looks from everyone. Like, if looks could kill, I would have been dead several times.
-
Unknown A
I really want to know what they did to Trump to make him capable of being disagreeable. You know what I mean? For him, just sitting there quietly. He did this at the Oval Office, too. Quietly, respectfully. Every time he opens its mouth, it's to compliment Elon. I. No, I don't think it's money. No, no, I don't think it's. I don't think it's like that. Like Trump, Trump's ego goes beyond his desire for wealth. They buck broke his ass, man. Elon Melania in front of him or something. I don't know. There's. There's like, there's something to it. Trump has neuralink. It's gotta be it. It's gotta be it.
-
Unknown B
But that was not ashes on the floor before Trump. That never happened, right?
-
Unknown D
No.
-
Unknown B
This is the million dollar or billion dollar?
-
Unknown C
Billion.
-
Unknown B
There's a cut between billionaires question. So you have all this going on and you stop in A way he's still doing it. And you partner with him. And this is what you get for it from the Democrats. You get. Nobody voted for Elon. Well, nobody voted for any of your.
-
Unknown A
Why the. Is the audio so bad for this section? Can I live? Am I allowed to live? Like, legally? Is it that bad on the Fox News?
-
Unknown B
What president? From the. And you partner with him. And this is what you get from the Democrats. You get nobody voted for Elon. Well, nobody voted for any of your cabinet nominees. Okay? People are dying because of Doge cuts. I'll give you a chance to respond. All that what Doge is doing is illegal. Elon Musk is more street vernacular for a male body part. It's a constitutional crisis.
-
Unknown D
Why are they reacting like this?
-
Unknown B
Well, first of all, do you give a fly and rip, number one?
-
Unknown D
Well, I guess we must be over the target of doing something right. You know, if, like, they wouldn't be complaining so much if they weren't doing something useful. I think what all we're really trying to do here is restore the will of the people through the President. And what we're finding is that there's an unelected bureaucracy. Speaking of unelected, there's a vast federal bureaucracy that is implacably opposed to the president and the cabinet. And you look at, say, D.C. voting, it's 92% Kamala. Okay, so we're in 92% Kamala. That's a lot.
-
Unknown B
They don't like me here either.
-
Unknown D
I think about that number a lot. Like 92%. That's basically almost everyone.
-
Unknown A
And so it really makes you wonder why federal workers would not like people who are openly antagonistic to federal workers. You know, you just have to wonder, like, if there's anything prejudicial about our giant, openly stated campaign to replace federal workers with a team of loyalists who will act as yes men to our agenda. It's just really. It's just really strange. You know, there's got to be some kind of collusion to it.
-
Unknown D
But if. But how can you. If. If the will of the president is not implemented and the president is representative of the people, that means the will of the people is not being implemented.
-
Unknown A
So this is again, like, just straightforwardly fascist rhetoric. And, like, this is just authoritarianism explained. Like, no, there should be no holds on presidential power because the president is actually the will of the people. So through the will of the. Like, this is just verbatim what Hitler said. Like, verbatim. No difference at all. Everything that he did to consolidate his Own power was justified off the argument that, well, my power is representative of the people, so anything that stops me is anti people, you know. Yeah, not much else to say really.
-
Unknown D
And that means we, we don't live in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy. And so I think you already said.
-
Unknown A
That the sort of alliance lever, he had to say it twice.
-
Unknown D
We try to restore democracy and the will of the people.
-
Unknown B
You.
-
Unknown D
Is this making sense?
-
Unknown B
I mean, no, of course it does. I mean, to me, if you look at our framers and our founders and.
-
Unknown A
The audio is kind of fucked for the.
-
Unknown B
You really become a student of history, Mr. President. And we've had conversations both on air and off air. And if we talk about constitutional order or transformational change, nobody can argue that what's happening here is it's going at the speed of light. But however, what were the principles of our framers and our founders? They wanted limited government, greater freedom for the people. And we'll get to the specific cutting of waste for other and abuse. That is your goal, is it not?
-
Unknown C
Yeah, and my goal was to get great people. And when you look at what this man has done, I mean, it was something. I knew him a little bit through the White House originally. I'd see him around a little bit. I didn't know him before that and I respected what he did and he fought hard. You know, he was, he was maybe questioned for a while. He was having some difficulties. It was not easy doing what he did. I mean, how many people have started a company car company and made it really successful?
-
Unknown A
Literally not a word to offer unless it's glazing Elon like nothing else. Nothing else. Not even self glazing a better car.
-
Unknown C
Where it's, you know, beating these big companies that that's all they do.
-
Unknown A
And yes, of course, everybody knows that Trump for a long time didn't like Elon. Probably because Elon's a puerile, sniveling little rat and a bitch. So like everyone knows the tweets, but like it doesn't matter because we've rewritten history cars.
-
Unknown C
I mean, it's really amazing the things he's done, but I didn't know it as much then as now. I mean the fruits have sort of taken hold. But I wanted great people. And he's a great person. He's an amazing person. He's also a caring person. You know, he uses the word care. So they sign a contract and a government agency and it has three months and the guy leaves that signed the contract and nobody else is There. And they pay the contract for 10 years.
-
Unknown A
Yeah.
-
Unknown C
So the guy is getting checks for years and years and years. And he's telling his family, obviously, maybe it was crooked, maybe paid to get the contract, and maybe paid that they didn't terminate it. But, you know, we have contracts that go forever, and they've been going for years, and they're supposed to end in three months or five months or two years or something, and they go forever. So the guy is either crooked, you know, where he knew this was going to happen, or he's crooked because he's getting payments that he knows he shouldn't be getting. But they're finding things like that. They're finding things far worse than that. And they're finding billions. And it will be hundreds of billions of dollars worth of fraud. I say waste and abuse, but fraud, waste and abuse. And he's doing an amazing job. And he attracts a young, very smart type of person.
-
Unknown C
I call him high IQ individual. And they are. They're very high Q and high iq. And when they go in to see the people and talk to these people, you know, the people think they're going to pull it over. They don't. These guys are smart and they love the country. You know, there's a certain something. But he uses the word care. So people have to care. Like when I bought Air Force One, I negotiated the price. It was 5.7 billion. And I got it. I got him down 1.7 billion, billion. Now they're not building the plane fast enough. I mean, they're actually in default. Boeing, they're supposed to. When they've been building this thing.
-
Unknown A
Sorry, he pulled me into the weave for a little bit. What are we on?
-
Unknown C
We don't build the way we used to build. You know, we used to build like a ship a day. And now to build a ship is like a big deal. And we're going to get this country back on track. We can do it. But so many things. It takes so long to get things built and get things done. And a lot of it could be something we been discussing. The regulators go in and they make it impossible to build. They make it very difficult to build anything, whether it's a ship, a plane or a building or anything. And some of them do it because they want to show how important they are. Some of them do it maybe because they think they're right. They use the environment to stop progress and to stop things. It's always the environment. It's an environmental problem. It's not an environmental problem at all.
-
Unknown C
But they do a lot of things. And by the way, speaking of that, Lee Zeldin is going to be fantastic in the position so important. He could take 10 years to approve or disapprove something, or he could do it in a month, you know, just as good.
-
Unknown B
Sure.
-
Unknown C
And I think you're going to see some fantastic, a fantastic job done by him. He's a tremendous guy.
-
Unknown B
Newt, you echoed something when I just met you, and it was very similar to what Newt has been saying, that he brought this country to the dance. This is the opportunity to be transformational and to have, I would argue, the most consequential presidency. If we really dig down and do something that had never been done before and that is get rid of this bureaucracy. And I'm going to get to the specifics. You say the same thing. It's not done yet. And what did you mean by that?
-
Unknown D
I mean, winning the election is really the opportunity to fix the system. It is not fixing the system itself. So it's an opportunity to fix the system and to restore the power of democracy. And you know, people like, it's funny how often when these attacks occur, the thing that they're accusing the administration of is what they are guilty of. They're saying that things are done unconstitutional.
-
Unknown A
You think Elon has Epstein dirt on Trump? There is no Epstein dirt on Trump. Trump was like openly, he's openly on the Epstein list. Like, there's no, it's not dirt in like, oh yeah, secrets or whatever. It's just known publicly. It just doesn't matter.
-
Unknown D
You know, what they are doing is unconstitutional. They are guilty of the crime of which they accuse us.
-
Unknown C
That's always the first thing they do. He's in violation of the Constitution. Every even know what they're talking. Well, absurd. It's just a con job. It's a big con job. And they're so bad for the country, so dangerous and so bad. And the media is so bad. When I watch msnbc, which I don't watch much, but you have to watch the enemy on occasion. The level of arrogance and, and cheating. And they're just horrible people. These are like horrible people. They tell conspiracy theories and they start up with the Constitution. They couldn't care less about the Constitution. CNN likewise. I mean, I watched them asking questions with, you know, the hatred with the. I said, why are you asking the question with such anger? You're asking me a normal question. But you see the bias. The bias is so incredible. Those two are bad. PBS is bad.
-
Unknown C
AP is bad. CBS is terrible. I mean, CBS now, they changed an answer in Kamala. They asked us some questions. She answered him like, you know, a low IQ person, the opposite of him.
-
Unknown A
I love the, the constant deference to IQ as an insult for her and her specifically. Also, what he's saying right now is a lie. But you know that.
-
Unknown C
The absolute opposite. But she gave a horrible answer. They took the entire answer out and they put another answer that she gave 20 minutes later into the words. I never even heard of that. I thought I heard of it all.
-
Unknown B
I'm going to.
-
Unknown A
And this is, this is of course not true. There wasn't really anything interesting in the.
-
Unknown B
Edit for the sake of saving time, because I could spend, and I've done this on radio and tv, I can spend an hour finding the outrageous amounts of money being spent abroad like USAID. And I just want to mention the.
-
Unknown A
8 billion in savings.
-
Unknown D
I guess at a high level, I think it's what the President mentioned earlier, which is that in order to save taxpayer money, it comes down to two competence and caring. And when the President was shown the outrageous bill for the new Air Force One and then negotiated it down, if the President had not applied competency and caring, the price would have been 50% higher. Literally 50% higher. The President cared. The President was competent. The price was not 50% higher as a result. And so when you add more competence and caring, you get a better deal for the American people.
-
Unknown C
But we could take, we were talking about this yesterday. I could take, give me thousands of bills. Any. I could pick any one of them.
-
Unknown D
Yes, exactly.
-
Unknown C
I could take all thousand. And let's say it's a bill for $5,000. Just 5,000. And it's.
-
Unknown A
I really do have the hardest job in the world. Sometimes when I feel a little bit self conscious about not saying anything for a minute while watching a video like this, I think, man, I'm really letting down my audience. And then I remember what would they do in my position right now? And honest to God, I don't know. I don't know what you could say to this without bloating the runtime to three and a half hours by responding to every single thing with a, like, nuh. You could do like a Mystery Science Theater 3000 esque, like cat calling over the video kind of bit. I like. It's a lot. There is a lot of yapping. There is a lot of yapping. There is a lot of napping. They're very old. He is. This is why they win. If only we vocally annotated their Videos more, we might have won that election. That's true.
-
Unknown C
By some bureaucrat. And if he would say, I'll give you three, I don't want to pay you five, it's too high. I'll give you three. But they don't do that. If a guy sends in a bill for 5,000, they pay 5,000. They expect to be cut. Everybody expects to be cut. When you send in a bill, you expect to be cut. They send in the bill higher for the most part. This is true with lawyers, legal fees. When they send in legal fees, I can cut. I wish I had the time. I would save so. But I could cut these bills in half. Much better than half. But you offer people a much lower number because, you know, they actually put fat. I'm not even saying it's like a way of business. They put more on because they expect to be negotiated. When you send in a bill to the government, there's nobody to negotiate.
-
Unknown C
Yes, you send in a bill for $10,000 and they send you a check back for $10,000. If you would call them and said, we'll give you five. No, no, no, I need more than five. We'll give you five. I'm not going to pay any more than five. Make it six. No, I'm not going to make it six. And you'll settle for $5,500. You've just cut the bill almost in half. And it took, like, two minutes. But none of that stuff.
-
Unknown B
Don't pull out the article.
-
Unknown C
But that's caring. No, it's not even the art of the deal. It's caring. He uses the word. It's caring. It's a certain competence, but I think it's more caring, actually.
-
Unknown D
If you add either ingredient, either competence or caring, you'll get a better outcome. But it stands to reason that if you don't have competence, you don't have caring, you're going to get a terrible deal. And the problem is that the American taxpayers can.
-
Unknown A
Just as somebody who's been following Trump for what feels like a very long time now, the idea of Trump promoting a strategy for negotiation in prices, that is not the art of the deal is absolutely insane. To me, that shit has been like a core component of Trump's identity for decades. It has been like the. It's. It's so. It's like a catchphrase. Like, even if you haven't read it and I haven't read it, it's like a component of his public identity, you know, and for him to go like, no, no, no, this isn't the art of the deal. This is, this is the new Elon thing. This is the new Elon thing. You know what happened to my goat?
-
Unknown D
Been getting a terrible deal because look at the last administration. Can you, can anyone, can any reasonable person say the last administration was either competent or caring?
-
Unknown B
But they lied to us and said that Joe didn't have a cognitive.
-
Unknown D
They fully lied.
-
Unknown B
They said the borders were close closed. They said that the borders were secure. They said that.
-
Unknown D
Right.
-
Unknown B
They said.
-
Unknown A
Well, they definitely did lie about the Joe Biden cognitive problem thing. That is, that is certainly the case.
-
Unknown B
I'm a care which they're flat out lied. It's insane.
-
Unknown A
This is why Doge is so important. Senator Tim Scott. I'll keep that in mind. I'll keep that in mind.
-
Unknown B
Welcome back to Hannity. And we are in the Washington swamp.
-
Unknown A
We're in the home stretch years.
-
Unknown B
Far left bureaucrats burned through your hard earned tax dollars on woke political causes, green New deal ism, transgenderism and you know, even anti American propaganda. Those days are now over. More of my interview with President Trump and Elon Musk as I scroll this information and it's, it's, I'll scroll a lot more than I'll mention to both of you. And this is the cost savings. I want you, I want people at home to understand this part. Average American makes $66,000 a year.
-
Unknown D
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
Okay. We have $37 trillion in national debt.
-
Unknown D
Yes.
-
Unknown B
Now all the money I'm about to mention and what we're going to scroll on our screen and all of this is going to foreign countries. It is not being spent here in America for better schools, law and order, I think.
-
Unknown A
Yeah, it's, it's aid. Yeah, it's, it's literally foreign aid. That's like none of this foreign aid is being spent in America. Really? You're telling me average taxpaying American should.
-
Unknown D
Be mad as hell because their tax money is being poorly spent?
-
Unknown B
All right, let me go to the second question first.
-
Unknown A
I hate soft power. I hate, I hate it when people live and are happy. I hate spending pithy amounts of our GDP on preventing HIV from spreading to tens of millions of women and children who are affected by it in West Africa. I hate incentivizing nations to kowtow to us and be amenable to our business interests for a tiny fraction of the money we get from investing there. I hate it. I hate it.
-
Unknown B
I want to know because people like Joni Ernst and Joni Ernst has been tried to get has tried for a.
-
Unknown D
Long time and she's actually got a lot of good data. Senator Ernst has been really helpful, actually.
-
Unknown B
Okay. But they actually hide what the real purpose of the spending is. In other words, and this is a question, how did you decipher it will say humanitarian, blah, blah, blah. In Serbia or Afghanistan. We even give money to China, for crying out loud, which I think is nuts.
-
Unknown D
Or give money to the Taliban.
-
Unknown B
But money to the Taliban, like a lot. All right, so like, for what? But they.
-
Unknown D
I want to see the pictures of what they did.
-
Unknown B
But they.
-
Unknown A
What shouldn't you know? You're the one dismantling all of this. Again, keep in mind that all of this, all of this aid that we provide, all of it's like publicly available. The American government is actually, for the most part, pretty transparent. It depends on the department, but they're pretty transparent with the money they spend. You know, you can literally like us spending. You can see where all this money goes. Now, obviously, if you're trying to look up how the Pentagon spends its money, that's a little bit more difficult. But you know, try to obscure it and then.
-
Unknown B
But then you got to the bottom line, which is what I'm now scrolling on the screen.
-
Unknown A
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
And that is 20 million on a Sesame street show in Iraq. 56 million to boost tourism.
-
Unknown A
I, I hate American soft power. I hate using a tiny amount of money to develop American based media and outreach in foreign countries so that their children grow up recognizing American cultural symbols and therefore becoming like, you know, allegiant to the United States. What, you're telling me Iran controls Iraq? You're telling me Iran has disproportionate power over their neighboring country? Well, surely there was nothing we could have done to have stopped this. I don't think they understand what soft power is. No, I don't. I think like, there's a lot of stuff they're doing that's for personal gain, but I genuinely think in this case they are too stupid to understand what soft power is. $3.5 to help the next generations of Georgia be civically engaged in Tunisia and Egypt. Hmm. I wonder, in what way does it benefit America to spend money in Georgia, encouraging their population to be more civically engaged?
-
Unknown A
Is it possible that there might be a way in the. That this could benefit us? Like, I don't know, the population becoming increasingly resistant to Russian foreign occupation and breaking free and developing like, business contracts with the United States? Again, like, look, I'm as anti American empire as the next guy. I don't know, if ceding it to other, worse empires is necessarily preferable. But all of this is what American power looks like. You know, USAID is a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of our spending.
-
Unknown B
40 million to build schools in Jordan. 11 million to tell the Vietnamese to stop burning trash. 45 million for DEI scholarships in Burma. 520 million for consultant driven ESG investments in Africa. DEI programs in Serbia. The president said, I'm sure you love that taxpayer money was spent on a DEI musical in Ireland or transgender opera in Colombia or transgender sounds like this.
-
Unknown D
It sounds like, how can these things be real? But this is actually what was done. It sounds like a comedy sketch. I have 20 pages, right? It's not.
-
Unknown A
Remember what I said before about the U.S. postal Service, how it's not enough to just rely on a functional institution, you have to be an active advocate for it, like 24 7. Like if you like something in society, you have to be a cheerleader for it nonstop, forever. Because if you don't, malicious actors who want desperately to undermine that thing will lie about it. That's how I feel. You know, this is why the democratic impulse to become more moderate will always fail. Right when faced with opposition. You need to become a cheerleader for everything that you love. You need to hold a 247 rally proselytizing, all of it. You know, you need to. You need to talk about it the way, you know, reply. Guys talk about their faves. You need to talk about it the way Stans talk about their idols, the way priests talk about God.
-
Unknown A
You have to go crazy for that shit.
-
Unknown B
Listen, my alone, if you had to put a number on it, how much do you think you've identified? Waste, fraud, abuse, corruption at this point? And again, we've been, we're going to be scrolling this throughout the program.
-
Unknown D
Well, the overall goal is to try to get a trillion dollars out of the deficit. And if the deficit is not brought under control.
-
Unknown A
I thought the goal was 2 trillion. I'm almost positive the goal was 2 trillion. They bringing it down.
-
Unknown D
America will go bankrupt. This is a very important thing for people to understand. A country is no different from an individual in that if an individual overspends, an individual can go bankrupt and so can a country. And the massive wastewater and abuse that has been going on, which is leading to a $2 trillion a year deficit. That that's what the president was handed on January 20th. A $2 trillion deficit.
-
Unknown B
It's insane for this fiscal year.
-
Unknown C
True. Trillion. Yeah, we inherited. And inflation is back. I'm only here for two and A half weeks.
-
Unknown B
That was inflation.
-
Unknown C
They're back now. Think of it. Inflation's back. And they said, oh, Trump and I had nothing to do with it. These people.
-
Unknown A
Inflation was down for the entire last 18 months of the Biden presidency. And it ticks back up literally right as I. Right as I. Ass. Couldn't have been me.
-
Unknown C
Couldn't have been me have run the country. They spent money like nobody has ever spent. They were. They were given $9 trillion to throw out the window. Nine trillion. And they spent it on the green news scam. I call it the greatest scam in the history of the country. One of them. We have a lot of them, I guess, but one of them, dollar wise, probably I.
-
Unknown B
And wokeism and trans.
-
Unknown C
Well, that's all part of it. Yeah.
-
Unknown B
And lgbtq.
-
Unknown A
I feel like you should learn from your enemy here and maybe take a little lesson from the fact that Republicans have spent the past decade screaming about the Green New Deal. A thing that didn't happen. Talking about it as though it did happen. And it really makes you reflect on like, if there's no relationship between what I do and what they're going to attack anyway, wouldn't it make more sense to actively defend the things they're attacking me over? Like, has there been literally any positive outcome to Democrats being like, well, I. We didn't do Green New Deal. We abandoned it a decade ago. No. So why not just do the good thing anyway? Just do the good thing anyway and then defend it. Because by not defending it, it makes it look like you're, you're, you're shifty, you're uncommitted. The average Republican thinks the Green New Deal did and was happening.
-
Unknown A
And, and Democrats just refuse to acknowledge or own up to it or defend it.
-
Unknown B
Us.
-
Unknown D
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
By the way, not in America. Other countries, not here.
-
Unknown C
You know, the.

They said Kamala Harris was crazy woke. They said Kamala Harris was like super left leaning, pro trans. She never mentioned trans people during the whole, the whole runabout after the dnc. She shut the up about them. It didn't matter.

Unknown C
Big thing is when you see like the. The teaching of DEI. $9 million. How do you spend 9 million to teach? No matter what it is you could teach? You go to MIT for expensive. The teaching of teaching.
-
Unknown D
Yes.
-
Unknown B
How much do you believe Elon, you've identified in waste, fraud, abuse, corruption now. And how much do you anticipate you will?
-
Unknown D
Sure. Well, I think 1%.
-
Unknown C
No, because it's so massive. This is huge money.
-
Unknown B
So what we found out 1% we're.
-
Unknown C
Just as good as they are. They're not going to find some contract that was crooked, you know, crooked as hell. I mean, there's going to be so much. It is, in fact. But what is that? I think he's going to find a trillion dollars.
-
Unknown B
Yeah, I think so, but I think.
-
Unknown C
It'S a very small percentage compared to what it is.
-
Unknown B
Let me go to an area that I think is key, and you talked about this in recent interviews, and that is we don't need a Department of Education. Okay. And what some people are trying to do is stoke fears that, oh, my gosh, my kid's not going to get the money for education or grandma's Social Security and Medicare. This was a big promise of yours on the campaign trail. So I.

Unknown A
How much is the total spending? Nobody knows how much Doge has actually cut because all of it has been illegal, only documented by Doge, and they're lying about what they've cut. And they're also falsifying government records to hide the trail of what they've cut. So it's possible that the next US Budget might be representative or unrepresentative or it might, like, not describe the actual shift in the allocated. Like, all the numbers are fudged, so we actually have no idea. Apparently, Elon is contemplating kicking every American citizen a $5,000 check, which, if it was every American citizen, what would that be? Like, 5,000 for, like, 200 million eligible people or so I don't know if they're, like, giving it to kids or whatever. 200 million? I'm stupid. 100 billion. No, more than that. How much was that? Why can't they do math right now? 1,000 times 200 million is 200 billion.
-
Unknown A
So 5 times 1 trillion. Yeah, that sounds good. I'm going to be the money president. I'm going to be the everyone. I'm going to give everyone lots of money. Only to Trump voters, though. Well, they would want to give it to everyone in order to, like, cement support, which the crazy thing is that would probably actually work pretty well to shore up support for the Trump administration up until the economic collapse.
-
Unknown B
Really want to give you both an opportunity to assure the American people you will keep. Money will be allocated for students, but with higher standards, for example, I would assume associated with monies given or just so much.
-
Unknown C
And then Elon goes, but look, Social Security won't be touched. Other than fraud or something. We're going to find it's going to.
-
Unknown A
Be other than if there's fraud. You know, Social Security won't be touched unless hypothetically, shadow president next to me went on a tweeting spree alleging fraud in ways that revealed his inability to understand basic. Basic government programs and spreadsheets and stuff like that.
-
Unknown C
And in that case, be strengthened but won't be touched. Medicare, Medicaid, none of that stuff is going to be touched.
-
Unknown B
Nothing.
-
Unknown A
Medicare is not going to be touched. Medicaid is not going to be touched. You know, even though they're literally already drafting plans to cut Medicaid and increase work requirements and stuff. Just not just nothing. You know, whatever you think he's even in the know, you think he knows.
-
Unknown C
I want to have to. Now, if there are illegal migrants in the system, we're going to get them out of the system and all of that fraud, but it's not going to be touched. School, I want to bring school back to the states so that Iowa, Indiana, all these places, Idaho, New Hampshire, there's so many places, the states, I figured 35 really run well. And right now it's Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, China, China. Can you imagine? Has top, top schools. We're last. So they have a list of 40 countries. We're number 40, usually with 38, 39 the last time we were number 40. And what I say is, you got to give it back so it doesn't work. I'll tell you what, we're number one in cost per pupil. We spend more money than any other country by far. It's not even close per pupil.
-
Unknown C
Okay? So we know it doesn't work. So we spend the most. And we have the worst. Right. The worst result. When we give that. When we give that back to Indiana, when we give that back to Iowa and back to a lot of the states that run well. They run well. Oh, yeah.
-
Unknown A
Indiana, Iowa.
-
Unknown C
Now you're going to have 10 laggards, but you're going to have five real laggards. But that's going to be okay. Take New York. You give it to Westchester county, you give it to Suffolk county, you give it to upstate New York and you give it to Manhattan, but you give it to four or five subsections. Same thing in California. Los Angeles is going to be a problem, but you're going to give it to places that run well. We can change.
-
Unknown A
This is, this is why I say you shouldn't be too optimistic about him doing like across the board cuts the Department of Education, because there is no way he's actually going to cut that much help to red states. You know, like he, like, he'll Literally be like, oh, glorious Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Where every student gets the greatest education unrivaled in the entire United States. We'll give them lots of money so they can help their beautiful children. New York, folks. New York, it's a dump. We all know like it's, it's, you know, I wouldn't expect much consistency education.
-
Unknown C
Now school choice is important, but that will get taken care of automatically. We want to bring education back to the states. You will spend half the numbers grants. I'm not even doing this.
-
Unknown B
Like, I'm not even.
-
Unknown C
I'm not even doing this to save. But you will. It costs you much less money. You get a much better education. If you go to some of these states, you'll be the equivalent of normal. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, places that really have a good school system.
-
Unknown A
Famously Denmark, Sweden and Norway, etc. Got their high quality educational systems by cutting federal investment and standardization and promoting things like, you know, school choice vouchers and charter schools. Famously, the only way to reach their level of educational attainment is to do the exact opposite of what they did. No one will expect that.
-
Unknown C
You'll have those places will be the equipment and your overall numbers will get so much better.
-
Unknown B
Do you want standards associated?
-
Unknown C
The only thing I want to do from Washington D.C. is make sure they're teaching English, reading, writing, math, science.
-
Unknown B
Okay. A little science might help computers, you're.
-
Unknown C
Not gonna have much of a problem with that, but that's it.
-
Unknown B
So your task now, and I pray to God this is successful, I really do. I wish you Godspeed, you know. Godspeed, John Glenn.
-
Unknown C
It's going to be by the way, I really believe.
-
Unknown B
But there are legitimate areas.
-
Unknown C
Well, beside this. This is cutting. We're only talking about cutting. We're also going to make a lot of money. We're going to. We're taking in so much.
-
Unknown B
What about his business? What if there is?
-
Unknown C
Then we won't let contract.
-
Unknown B
He would otherwise let him do it.
-
Unknown C
He's got a conflict. I mean, look, he's in certain, certain areas. I mean, I see this morning, I didn't know, but I said do the right thing. Where they're cutting way back on the electric vehicle subsidies. Yes, they're cutting back. Not only cutting back hurt you.
-
Unknown D
Correct.
-
Unknown C
Yeah.
-
Unknown B
Now you don't.
-
Unknown C
I won't tell you. Well, he's probably not that happy with it, but that would have been one thing. He would have come to me and said, listen, you got to do me a favor. This is crazy. But this, this was in the tax bill. They're cutting back on the subsidies. I didn't. I wasn't involved in it. I said, do what's right and you get. And they're coming up with a tax. But it's just preliminary. But, I mean, if he were involved, wouldn't you think he'd probably do that now? Maybe he does better if you cut back on the subsidies. Who knows? Because he figures he does think differently. He thinks he has a better product. And as long as he has a level playing field, he doesn't care what you do. Which very. He's told me that.
-
Unknown D
Yeah, I mean, I haven't asked the president for anything ever.
-
Unknown B
And if it comes up. How.
-
Unknown A
Get a fit. Check on Elon. What is he wearing? He's wearing a felted wool top coat over a T shirt, and it looks like shit.
-
Unknown D
Yeah, I'll. I'll recuse myself if it is.
-
Unknown C
If there's a contract, we'll be involved. I mean, I wouldn't want that, and he won't want it. Right.
-
Unknown D
And obviously, I'm getting a sort of a daily proctology exam here. You know, it's not like I'll be getting getting away from something in the dead of night.
-
Unknown B
Welcome to D.C. if you want a friend, get a dog.
-
Unknown D
Well, I do have a dog, but I also have friends.
-
Unknown A
It's too autistic to actually run with a joke. Oh, man. He got defensive over it, probably because he doesn't actually have friends.
-
Unknown D
My dog loves me. Poor little creature.
-
Unknown C
You know the truth.
-
Unknown A
Jesus Christ.
-
Unknown D
Bring him to D.C. he's.
-
Unknown C
I know every businessman. I know the. The good ones, the bad ones, the smart ones, the lucky ones.
-
Unknown A
1. This is the best there is.
-
Unknown C
Very. He's a brilliant guy. He's a great guy. He's got tremendous imagination and scientific imagination far beyond. You know, you keep talking about a technologist and all, but you're much more than a technologist. You're a friend of that. But he's also a good person. He's a very good person, and he wants to see the country do well. And I know a lot of great business people, really great business people, but, you know, they're not really, in some cases, very good people. And I know people, people that would try and take advantage of the situation. This guy's somebody that really cares for the country. And I saw that very early on. I saw it really a long time ago when I got to know him. He's a very different kind of a character. That's why, you know who loves him? Young people that are very smart.
-
Unknown A
How do we feel about that? My takeaways from this Trump is actually more cucked than I may have initially thought. Like he. He's completely broken in, which is wild. And they are preparing Elon to be the actual leader, not just like the de facto leader. Like they Are they anticipating Elon's desire for power and prominence and the fact that Trump is an old man? They are setting the stage for Elon to be the populist front runner because J.D. vance is just not viable as a public figure. Or maybe if he was, it wouldn't matter because Elon's just that greedy for power. I like, I. I know that sounds a little bit sensationalist, but again, the president did just invalidate all independent regulatory agencies today via executive order. So like, I don't know, it seems like we're just living in crazy times. Musk can't constitutionally become a president, though.
-
Unknown A
They couldn't constitutionally usurp Congress's power of the purse by preventing the dispersal of funds allocated in the Congressional budget drafted in 2024. And yet. And yet a dog. Yeah, the Democrats strategy for dealing with Elon and Trump is screaming a dog can't play basketball. While they keep getting dunked on over and over. Many such cases.
