Musk Making Moves And Epstein Survivor Bus Crash Update
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad, worse than bad.
They're crazy.
Silence! The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.
You've got to say, I'm a human being!
God damn it!
My life has value!
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
Don't give yourselves to brutes.
Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel.
Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men.
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
Yeah, thank you.
You're beautiful.
I love you.
Yes. You're beautiful.
Thank you.
Ha ha.
It's... Showtime!
It's time to buckle up for making sense of the madness.
And who loves you?
And who do you love?
Hey.
Hey everybody, Jason Burmess here and today we are going to talk about Elon Musk and his next moves at least in the public arena that I see happening now that Doge is kind of going into the sunset in the idea that he's going to be leading it.
I think you're going to be hearing a lot more about what they're doing.
If you saw the thumbnail, I mean Elon's just a regular guy.
He's got the cheese head on.
The Wisconsin cheese head.
Look, I don't want the thumbnail to be misleading by any means.
Although maybe, you're gonna hear more and more talk.
Not maybe, I mean we're already hearing more and more talk about quote-unquote MaaS.
And we're going to MaaS.
Okay? I assure you, That's ridiculous.
Okay, and unfortunately what's really going down is that Tesla is going to be pushed into the arena more and more, in my opinion, of automation and humanoid robots.
Musk will make the same kind of meteor rounds he continues to, but As far as an official part of the administration, I think he's taking a step back for a multitude of reasons.
And look, let me make this clear, I've always talked about Musk being a cutout and a front man and really a rebranding operation in so many ways for the type of DARPA technologies, programs, not only just Automation, transhumanism, but the kind of track trace database stuff that's out there as well.
And digital meme currency is a part of that.
I also expect Elon somewhere in the next year or so.
Okay, maybe I'm gonna be wrong.
This is speculation.
This is speculation, Jason.
Maybe in the next year or so, start really pushing the Dogecoin.
kind of in association to what Doge has done over the last I mean it's been think 70 days a little over two months and I expect Elon probably to step down by the end of the month yeah and there's talks of that we're gonna get into that story we're gonna talk about transhumanism we're gonna talk about Musk like I said We're gonna push into the arenas that really do go beyond left and right when it comes to that.
Then I've got a multitude of other stories that I do want to hit including an update on the Virginia Gaffrey Roberts case and this bus crash that I covered.
I was gonna go live last night and then wrist flex actually got at me.
You can go watch that but there was an update yesterday And then another update.
So we're gonna be covering today, basically from the quote-unquote school bus driver side of this accident.
We're gonna read that article.
We're gonna dive deeper into that.
We got some other stories that I do want to cover that are kind of independent, a little bizarre.
There's this story in this hospital where these women, especially on the, I think it's the fifth floor, There are 10 of them now working in this maternity ward that have now developed brain tumors.
Before we watch the clip I'm not even going to speculate there.
But we got a ton of stuff to go over and then at the end if we get to it we've got Trump's tariff speech which was like 50 minutes long.
Obviously this broadcast is not going to be a watch along with that which we've done in the past but at least the tail end we may do that.
Also, continue to get your questions and comments in.
I don't know if we're actually going to get to any of the questions and comments, but we love interacting with the audience, so if there is a question, a comment about one of these stories, and you are watching this live over on YouTube, the YouTubans, or any of the other platforms, and you want to get on the action, please do.
Now, before we get to Musk, these stories, Trump talking about Musk, etc.
I do want to remind people the paid gigs are over.
They're over.
I need your support.
$5, $10, $15.
It does mean the world to me.
The buy me a coffee is a great way to do it.
There's also other great links down below.
Also, please give me a follow.
See we're live here on X. A lot of the stuff that I cover you can get the raw information over on my X account.
But on top of that There's a lot of stuff we don't end up covering that's also here.
All right, inside Elon Musk's departure from Doge and the real reason behind why he's leaving.
So let's just hear what Donnie T right here has to say about the whole thing.
Elon Musk's special government tenure is coming to an end.
130 days, I think another month.
Do you want him to stay longer, or is it time for him to go back to running his companies in Europe?
Well, I think he's amazing, but I also think he's got a big company to run, and so at some point he's going to be going back.
He wants to.
Do you want to keep him around?
Oh, I'd keep him as long as I could keep him.
He's a very talented guy.
You know, I love very smart people.
He's very smart, and he's done a good job.
You know, Doge...
Doge has, uh, we found numbers that nobody can even believe, like 400 billion, 500 billion.
It could be close to a trillion dollars by the time they end on different things.
And he's led the charge.
And you've seen a lot of his people.
And these are people that joined up.
I always say they're high IQ people.
I like high IQ people.
They've done a great job.
No, at some point Elon's gonna want to go back to his company.
I will say he's got, despite the way he's been treated, so he's an American patriot, but the way he's been treated with Tesla is just terrible.
So, I want to talk about a few things Lisa there.
First of all, multiple companies.
But notice the focus is really on Tesla.
The SpaceX stuff is great and the Mars stuff is great.
It's all PR because that's just an extension of NASA.
All right.
Now, let me start with saying this.
One, I like what this Department of Government Efficiency has done.
Showing the fraud in Social Security alone is a big deal.
Exposing USAID is also a big deal.
You also have to do the Pentagon.
You have to do the DOD.
You can't just also do the, you know, the Department of Education, which, essentially, through an executive order, I mean, we can talk about the dissolve.
That's up in the air.
These are good things for transparency, and they build this folklore, in my opinion, around this guy.
I think he is an intelligent guy.
I think, again, in many respects, all this stuff is a cutout.
You know, I was listening to the Ian Carroll, Joe Rogan episode, Where they were talking about Elon Musk in regards to alien life.
Now you guys know how skeptical I am on anything alien life, ancient aliens, folklore, etc, etc, etc.
Extremely skeptical.
But I did find it interesting that they kind of just dismiss what Elon says publicly because of his security clearances.
Now You know, the top secret security clearance with NASA and SpaceX, etc.
We're gonna show actually this polar mission.
There's about five minutes of footage of this latest SpaceX polar mission.
That's the type of stuff that is real.
All right, but at the same time, when we start getting into other types of propulsion systems, weapon systems, information systems in space, that's the real secret.
The alien stuff is all obfuscation in my opinion.
Right? And, you know, to kind of give Musk a pass on that, it's a little bit disingenuous in my opinion.
Now, one of the other reasons I think that Musk is taking just a quick step back from not only Doge, but I also think, again, he's going to do the media tours here and there, but the reality is there are lunatics out there.
And, you know, whether you think this guy's running anything or not, whether you think he's a hero or not, there is a certain sect of the population that thinks he is an absolute demon, and they are extremely unhinged, okay?
And, you know, I do think that his life is actually in danger, not from the quote-unquote deep state, okay?
By any means.
I don't think this would be like an operation Where there's a whole lot of questions.
Say like what happened in Pennsylvania with Trump.
I don't think it's that.
Or even this Ukrainian guy on a golf course.
I don't think it's that either.
I think it's total lunatics.
Now this is a little bit of an unrelated story but I did want to get to it and I think this is an illustration of this lunatic behavior.
You know I've been a you know somebody who's from the get-go We're not going to show this footage or anything like that.
We're just going to show you the headline.
It's pretty grotesque.
When this Luigi Mangione thing happened, I said it was ridiculous that anybody would think that this is a good thing that the UnitedHealthcare guy just gets executed in the streets.
And it's going to cause more lunatic behavior.
And look, I know a lot of people have been coming down on Bill Burr for this and that and calling him woke and the view and blah blah blah blah.
Listen, Bill Burr has always been a little bit masochistic.
Always played kind of both sides of the field.
I mean, open jokes about population control and cruise liners killing people and blah blah blah blah.
My biggest beef with him is when he's like talking about free Luigi.
Okay? And I'm not saying that billionaires shouldn't be held to account.
Right? But, let's start holding them to account in our criminal justice system where they serve time for prison for all these crimes that they just pay out on.
That's the real solution.
Not encouraging lunacy because then you get things like this.
Where, and again, I don't necessarily trust the media narrative here.
But they are associating this with, you know, this guy, you know, not liking Walgreens, just execute some guy he didn't even know, some employee at Walgreens.
Now, this guy's probably on SSRIs or other types of drugs.
I'm not saying that this is because of the media, etc.
I'm saying there are lunatics out there, right?
That's it.
Now, let's get back into Musk.
When I talked earlier, I talked about how I feel like the next big push is going to be for Tesla, but not so much in the arena of cars.
Again, the news with the Tesla dealerships, you know, I've talked about this, I talked about it on the Postage or Duelist show, if you didn't catch that earlier this week, but you have lunatics that are just misinformed on both sides.
Obviously, the quote-unquote MAGA folks sound a lot more sane because they're wearing a hat that says, Make America Great Again, and the other people are wearing, you know, 70-year-old women are wearing those pink pussy hats.
Like, what?
Like, I can't take you seriously right from the start.
Right from the start that you're wearing that.
Do you think that's the way to protest something?
And then the next thing is they're holding up the Nazi stuff.
It's just like so tired.
But then you got this guy saving America.
No, he's bringing in a system of automation, artificial intelligence, and he wants humanoid robots.
And that's when we're starting to get into the realm of whoa, whoa, Nelly.
So I got these two videos of the Musker Dew over here talking about the robots.
We're going to play this one first because it also talks about the economy a little bit and automation.
By the way, thumbs it up.
We don't even have 50 thumbs up yet.
Thumbs it up, subscribe, share.
After we get done with the Musk story, we're probably going to be talking about this for another 5-10 minutes, we will get into the Virginia Guffray Roberts update as well, the Epstein victim.
But here, Musk is talking about Humanoid robots and where he sees them by 2045.
Every country will have AIs or multiple AIs.
And there will be a lot of robots.
There'll be a lot of robots.
Way more robots than people.
Yeah, let's have that conversation a second because people are concerned about, as you said, dwindling populations.
AI and robots have potential to help support the GDP.
Yes. Congratulations on Optimus 2 and soon Optimus 3. Your prediction on the number of robots by 2040, humanoid robots to be specific, what order of magnitude?
By 2040?
Yeah. I think by 2040, probably there are more humanoid robots than there are people.
So, first of all, I want to make it very clear that this guy over promises and under delivers a lot.
A lot.
Okay? But, let's say there are no catastrophic events within the next 15 years in the human populace where billions of people are decimated.
There will be nine, ten billion of us.
Easy. Ten, probably about ten, maybe even eleven.
There will be more humanoid robots than that?
That is an insane thing to want, number one, To espouse to number two, but to have a company that's actively working to do that.
And I've warned that Tesla is not a car company.
They are a transhumanist, bio...
I mean cybernetic tech company.
And look, Neuralink's a different thing, but when you have Tesla, Partnering with CureVac to build the bio-nano factories that print up the material that goes boobity boobity bobbity Okay, and you're working on humanoid robots.
Where do you think that leads?
Do you think that the like like biological agents that are being printed up and Then traditional robotics never the twain shall meet.
Oh, no.
No, no Oh, no, no, no.
They will be integrated.
I promise you.
I mean, fully integrated.
I mean, we can't even imagine, imagine what it's going to be like in 15 years.
Let's get through this presidency and see what the future actually holds for not only the Western world, but the entire world.
Because look, we're still in some pretty big conflicts.
Around the globe?
I mean, the New York Times just casually admitting, oh, that we're secretly running the war against Russia the entire time?
No shiz, Sherlock!
But it's casual admittance.
And now think about the situation that we're in.
We've got a President of the United States that says he wants us to get out of that, but somehow can't get us out of that.
And that doesn't even get into the Middle East.
So we got a long way to go before we get into the humanoid robots.
There are plenty of other robots out there right now that are killing humans.
Just pointing that out.
That's a much bigger and more concerning industry at the moment.
But when you start getting into humanoid robots replacing us, I keep saying it.
Humans are limited.
Why are we building robots that look and act like humans?
It's like this weird dark sci-fi fantasy.
So, one more video on Musk on this, then we're gonna get into like the space front on Musk, and then into the other stories of the day.
Come on, let's get those thumbs up everybody.
Here we are.
The only company with all the ingredients for making intelligent humanoid robots at scale is Tesla.
This is a super big deal.
Like my prediction is that, on this front, is that Optimus will be the biggest product of all time by far.
Nothing will even be close.
It'll be, I think it'll be ten times bigger than the next biggest product ever made.
So think about that, what he's saying here.
It will be ten times bigger than the biggest product ever made.
Now, in the magic box arena, what, the magic box has been around since what?
I think the first iPhones like 2007, 2008, maybe 2006, something like that.
So we've got about 20 years of that.
Think about the television.
Think about the radio.
He's saying everything, everything out there is gonna be lower than this.
That's, I mean, is that not dangerous on its face?
Are people not concerned?
I'm not even necessarily saying it's gonna be possible.
But, you know, this also meshes with the idea of multiple AIs, the walled garden of artificial intelligence, us just moving into this new arena of artificial intelligence, etc. So, I just kind of want to finish up on the space stuff.
What they are and they are not doing.
Okay? Mars is big talk.
I want to point out that NASA has pushed back the return of the moon to 2027.
These Artemis missions, this is supposed to be SpaceX!
But they're the same damn thing.
They're the same damn...
It's a re-branding.
It's getting into this privatized arena of space to get the public more comfortable with it.
That's all it is.
Same thing with Blue Origin and Bezos and all that.
Okay? Front men.
Front men.
Now, I am also not of the extreme belief that space is fake and none of this is actually going on.
I want to show some of this Fram 2 Human Polar Mission, right here, and some of the footage from that.
I don't know if we're going to play the entire five minute clip.
I'm sure that the people that think that the Earth is flat or whatever, they're going to hate this footage.
They're going to say it's all fake.
I think this is real.
And by the way, when I talk about space, and I talk about what I think is really going on there, I've really followed this path of documentation.
And what can I actually follow that's documented, has been discussed?
Not only obviously paperwork, but video, audio, yes, eyewitness accounts, etc.
I'm not saying all of it's true because another thing that got brought up on that Rogan Ian Carroll podcast, all right?
is Ian Carroll brought up the fact that there is footage that's obviously faked on the ISS and it's from harnesses to green screens he also talked about the bubbles coming up air bubbles stuff that they it seems like they actually did you know shoot underwater probably at the center that they passed off as ISS footage right Carroll kind of flippantly threw out the idea that there could be alien life on that Spacecraft
that's up there.
I do not think that's what that is and now Rogan challenged him I said maybe I mean, it's not like he's definitely said or yet inside knowledge, etc, etc.
I Do think things are going on up there and in these arenas That we do not know about and I don't think it has anything to do with aliens, by the way But I also think they fake a lot of stuff.
I Want to say this.
I don't think that this is fake.
Okay? So let's watch some SpaceX Fram 2 footage.
Thank you for your effort.
This is actually a known problem that we attributed to something else.
So it's very useful data that you are not able to use this trick to.
Can you confirm when you opened the box bag with the jar for the strips completely?
Right under you, right next to you.
Do you want your hygiene bag as well, Eric?
My hygiene bag?
Yeah. Do you want it?
I can get it for you.
Yeah, might as well.
Oh, no, no, no.
Mine is, I think mine, I'll leave it in two.
You mean just our daily hygiene with toothbrush and everything?
Yeah, no, I've got mine here.
Oh, okay.
I leave it directly above my head.
I was here in 2013.
Where? Where are we?
Kanchaka. Oh, nice.
Lots of volcanoes, huh?
Yeah. Lots of salmon below.
I've got a photograph.
Sean, that is fantastic.
Video. Yeah.
You can see the end.
This is the entire peninsula, it's full of volcanoes.
Much like Yellowstone in the U.S. This was discovered in 1940s.
Very good looking breakfast for us.
And this is our Zero-g indicator and his name is Tyler.
Tyler, yes!
Let's wink Tyler.
He's facing toward us.
Oh yes.
Make sure Tyler does his slip survey.
Oh, so sad.
I think we just flew over the North Pole, and now we enter the shadow of the Earth.
We didn't open the cupola yesterday for smoother adoption of the microgravity.
But today, after breakfast, we plan to go to the Copeland for the first time.
So I think I'm gonna cut it there, but I find all this stuff fascinating, you know, and then there's another, you know, overhead shot of the Arctic region, of the polar, you know, the North and South poles, all these things.
Look, there's still a lot of mystery around the world.
I don't think that every single thing is a hoax and fake.
Now, I want to move in a totally different direction, start talking about So, I went on a very, very long tirade about Virginia Guffray Roberts, her significance in the case, the lawsuits, her winning money, and this post that she made.
Now, yesterday, there was a headline from the Daily Mail where it said that Virginia Guffray Roberts had changed her story somewhat.
or said that she was you know basically like retracted the four days to live and all these other things.
Now I read that entire article you can go watch me on the wrist flex program yesterday if you want to go check that out and in that article it didn't seem like that there was any statement to that effect.
Now Virginia Gufres Roberts had worked with the Daily Mail in other words giving them exclusive stories was obviously paid for those stories that's how it works.
In this case, with this story, they also reached out to Brad Edwards, who was her lawyer for a time, okay?
And Edwards made commentary and hoped that she would have the correct medical attention and a quick and speedy recovery.
You know, those type of things were said, okay?
All that, all that is well and good.
Now today, There's a whole nother story coming out from the bus driver now I'm not here to doubt her story But if you remember I said there were these scenarios where maybe she just wanted to disappear or like the ultra scenario That maybe she's now working with the feds on some new Epstein cases in light of them actually going through the documentation just saying that and
Just because it's fresh on my mind that I've discussed it several times now Ian Carroll is extremely skeptical that we will get all the Epstein files and once again to Carroll's credit He brought up a couple times the arms dealing aspect and Adnan Khashoggi But didn't really talk about Epstein and his arms dealing aspect.
Okay, and that's a big reason I think that they're not gonna get into this.
So look I want to read this Bus driver and crash that left Virginia Guffray claiming she had four days to live gives his side of the story and paints a very different picture than hers Okay, so we're gonna scroll down.
We're gonna read it word for word.
This is Ross Munns so his name is out there and he's now talked to the mail online and Mr. Munns said that the crash happened and After he had followed a slow-moving white car from three kilometers before deciding to overtake it when it went under 75 kilometers,
which is probably what like 60 65 Miles per hour for us stateside and it was safe for him to pass it on around 3 p.m.
Monday last week He said the small white Toyota Highlander involved in the collision was driven by a seven-year-old woman Who he believed to be Miss Gufres care?
He said he had no recollection of Miss Frey being in the Toyota But the police report in the incident later stated that a woman aged 41 was a passenger So that's the bus driver right there okay,
and Here he is right here this all happened in Australia it's weird to me that you would get in a crash like that and not know who was in the car and and Gouffre has said that it was a hundred and eleven miles an hour.
I know I'm not making any kind of judgments here, but Mr. Munns said that he had about 29 children still on board as he began his maneuvers only for the car to suddenly start turning right in front of him to get into a rural property north of Perth, Western Australia.
Mr. Munns, a school bus driver for 16 years, said that he beeped his horn But he was unable to avoid clipping the car and damaging its tail light in what he described as a minor collision.
He said he immediately stopped and went to check on the car driver, who had also pulled over, and was satisfied she was not hurt.
Mr. Munns said that he and the 70-year-old woman swapped details, including phone numbers, and both were able to drive away afterwards.
But he decided to report the incident to the police as he felt the circumstances were a little bit sus.
He insisted he was under no obligation to report the crash as the law only required accidents to be reported that caused more than $2,000 damage and in his view the incident did not pass that threshold.
Mr. Munn said that he had telephoned the driver as a courtesy to say that he had reported the accident and she rang him back the next day To say there had been a passenger in the car who had suffered a black eye.
I mean, this story is extremely bizarre.
And this is Virginia Frey Roberts again saying she has four days to live and going into renal failure.
Just, I don't know how much more I really want to weigh in on it.
I'm going to keep up on the story.
We'll see where it goes, you know It's it's it's one of those things that I'm gonna kind of back off of And I'm gonna just let everybody digest it because there there are these kind of weird aspects to the whole deal.
All right I want to play this this is Jenny McCarthy the I Guess you'd call her playboy model MTV actress star that started talking about the old boobity boops and autism and her son and It was at a time where she was dating Jim Carrey so was even you know the the fame level at the time with both of them was pretty big and
There was the green the the the V scene, you know the I don't want to say the word You know what?
I mean green that and boy did she get attacked for it.
Now. She may might say the words here, so That's going to be, man, this is a tough one.
You know what?
I don't even know if we want to play it.
I'm just going to show you the article.
We're on the tubens.
I forget this sometimes.
Hollywood actress claims top officials tried to smear her for claiming her son's autism was caused by the you-know-whats.
Right? And, you know, there she is with her son, etc, etc.
Kind of a big deal.
Alright, here's the big story.
that is very bizarre and we'll weigh in on it after, but let's just play it.
BZ exclusive.
The nurses union at Newton Wellesley Hospital says some of its members are getting brain tumors, specifically those who work on the fifth floor maternal care unit, and they are terrified about what's going on there.
WBZ's Beth Romano has spent weeks now digging into this story, and today she spoke with one of those nurses and asked the hospital what it's doing to get answers.
You're going into work every day with that feeling in your gut and it's a lousy feeling.
She's a long-time nurse at Newton-Wellesley Hospital who didn't want to reveal her identity.
But she's speaking out after being diagnosed with a brain tumor and says she's not alone among her nursing colleagues.
It's getting to the point where the number just increases and you start saying, Am I crazy thinking this?
Like I can't, this can't just be a coincidence.
She claims as many as 10 nurses who all work on the fifth floor maternal care ward have been diagnosed with different brain tumors over the last few years.
Some cancerous, some not.
Three, she says, have had surgery and believes the hospital has not been supportive enough.
We want reassurance because this has been a not reassuring past few months for a lot of staff members and we just want to feel safe.
The same way we want to make our patients feel safe.
The hospital confirms it has been investigating since December and has interviewed ten nurses, six of whom it says have differing brain tumors.
But the hospital also says no risk factors have been found linking these cases to that fifth floor.
In a statement, the hospital says it conducted a CDC-guided investigation and shared the results.
The investigation found no environmental risks which could be linked to the development of a brain tumor.
The State Department of Public Health says it is also looking into the cases, while nurses are calling for an independent investigation.
So I think the concern is we don't know what it is, and nurses are, you know, scared, they're worried, and they want to make sure they're not working, you know, in an unsafe place.
I think the nurses should be the first people, because we're the ones that brought it to their attention, to be told.
And we feel like we've been the last to be informed on anything.
If there is a connection here, their search for answers is ongoing.
So, obviously, I think that, number one, there's very much the possibility, if you will, that maybe they all took a little something-something.
There's that.
But, to have it be on one floor, that's a little suspect.
They talk about environmental You talk about maybe equipment, maybe being exposed to a certain type of patient.
I would say independent investigation is kind of necessary on this one.
I mean, brain tumors, that's not something to be cavalier with.
Alright, so.
We've got about 15 minutes or so left in the broadcast.
I think it's Trump time.
I think we're going to do this.
Again, this speech is like 48 minutes long.
We're going to jump into it.
I'm probably going to stop it somewhat frequently.
But, you know, this is Donnie T, so he likes to talk.
This is the Tariff Talk.
Here he is.
Nice crowd.
What a good-looking group of people.
Very, very good news today and a lot of good things are happening for our country.
Please sit down.
My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.
Waiting for a long time.
April 2nd, 2025 will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn the day America's destiny was reclaimed and the day that we began to make America wealthy again.
We're going to make it wealthy, good and wealthy.
For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike.
American steelworkers, autoworkers, farmers, and skilled craftsmen.
We have a lot of them here with us today.
They really suffered gravely.
They watched in anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once-beautiful American dream.
We had an American dream that you don't hear so much about.
You did four years ago, and you are now.
You know, too often, for many years and decades even, you didn't hear too much about.
Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years, but it is not going to happen anymore.
It's not going to happen.
So again, I want to believe.
But so far, haven't seen any tax cuts for the little guy.
Obviously inflation ain't so great.
All right, still paying at the pump.
I think this is a good move.
Not blaming Donnie T, but I'm hearing the same type of rhetoric again and again and again.
At the same time you saw a huge drop in the stock market on this whole deal.
I mean, They're going to come out.
We'll see where we are economically.
I don't know where we're going to be.
I'm hoping.
Listen, I don't want to be in a bad economic spot.
It's no bueno for any of us, right?
In a few moments, I will sign a historic executive order.
institute of the Instituting reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world.
Reciprocal. That means they do it to us and we do it to them.
Very simple.
Can't get any simpler than that.
This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history.
It's our declaration of economic independence.
For years, hardworking American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense.
But now it's our turn to prosper, and in so doing, use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt, and it'll all happen very quickly.
With today's action, we are finally going to be able to make America great again, greater than ever before.
Let me just say this.
I'm all for paying down the debt.
Let's start listening to Thomas Massey.
Let's start every month having a different CR, having a different budget, and going by that.
Yes, we got to root a lot of this stuff out.
And I'm all for the tariffs.
I'm all for firing IRS agents, which they did.
That's all great.
What does it mean for the little guy?
Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already.
We will supercharge our domestic industrial base.
We will pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers.
And ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers.
This will be, indeed, the golden age of America.
It's coming back, and we're going to come back very strongly.
Oh, this whole golden age, man.
We're pleased to be joined on this momentous occasion by Vice President J.D. Vance.
J.D., thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Where are you, J.D.?
Oh, there he is.
That's that Trump charm.
Yes, look, J.D. That wasn't too hard to find.
Yeah, there he is.
Hey. He's looking.
You know, he likes to take a low-key attitude, so usually we sit right in front.
He's gaining a lot of confidence, Mike, isn't he?
And nearly my entire cabinet is here, as well as Speaker Mike Johnson, who's done an amazing job.
And with the great success we had last night in Florida, we have a majority of seven.
And seven's like a lot when we had it at one, right?
You've done a fantastic job.
And many of the members of the House and Senate are with us.
Senators, Congressmen, thank you all for being with us.
We appreciate it.
For decades, the United States slashed our trade barriers on other countries, while those nations placed massive tariffs on our products and created outrageous non-monetary barriers to decimate our industries.
And in many cases, the non-monetary barriers were worse than the monetary ones.
That I will agree with.
That I will agree with.
And what he's talking about is regulations and basically Keeping our products out.
They purposely, and when I say they, the power structure, the predator class, gutted the industry of the United States of America.
Gutted it.
Gutted it.
In favor of what?
Funding not only China, but other third world Asian nations that would go by that model.
Right? China being the largest one.
They manipulated their currency, subsidized their exports, stole our intellectual property, imposed exorbitant VAT taxes to disadvantage our products, adopted unfair rules and technical standards, and created filthy pollution havens.
They were absolutely filthy, but they always came to us and they said, we're violating, we should pay for it.
It's all detailed in a very big report by the U.S. Trade Representative on Foreign Trade Barriers, and I'll just hold it up for you.
It's available, and you don't have to pay too much.
As I understand it, you'll pay nothing.
It's a lot of work.
A lot of work for something, actually, because it's a special book.
Frankly, it's very upsetting when you read it, when you see what people have been doing to us for 30 years.
This all happened with no response from the United States of America, none whatsoever.
But those days are over.
Let me offer just a few examples of the vicious attacks our workers have faced for so many years.
The United States charges other countries only a 2.4 tariff on motorcycles.
Meanwhile, Thailand and Others are charging much higher prices, like 60 percent.
India charges 70 percent.
Vietnam charges 75 percent, and others are even higher than that.
Likewise, until today, the United States has, for decades, charged a 2.5 tariff — think of that, 2.5 percent — on foreign-made automobiles.
The European Union charges us more than 10 percent tariffs, and they have 20% VAT is much, much higher.
India charges 70%.
And perhaps worst of all are the non-monetary restrictions imposed by South Korea, Japan, and very many other nations.
As a result of these colossal trade barriers, 81% of the cars in South Korea are made in South Korea.
94% of the cars in Japan are made in Japan.
Toyota sells 1 million foreign-made automobiles into the United States and General Motors sells almost none.
Ford sells very little.
None of our companies are allowed to go into other countries.
And I say that friend and foe.
And in many cases, the friend is worse than the foe in terms of trade.
That's another big thing, right?
I mean, think of that.
That was something that was very highlighted when I was a kid.
China was not even on the radar in the 80s if you were watching the news and not listen again We're in a different time period when the news was on Like once or twice a day In the evening and afternoon obviously I wasn't watching it in the morning on the way getting up for school But in the evening afternoon you catch it and it was Japan Japan Japan cars Japan Japan Japan cars I'm blanking on that
great 80s movie with Michael Keaton about Gung Ho.
Go watch Gung Ho.
I love Gung Ho.
Gung Ho stands up to this day.
But it shows you, again, we've allowed this to happen and we've allowed these companies to come in and they've devastated our industry.
But you know what?
One of the other reasons That something like the car industry is going to be allowed to come back in the United States, and I do believe it will, is because of automation and robotics.
I mean, large scale, the vast majority of it is already automation and robotics at this point, but it's going to be even more.
So again, I'm not against these tariffs, but we have to look at what's being put into place and why.
Okay? That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying.
Can we get a hundred thumbs up here on the tail end of the show?
Let's go back to Donnie T. But such horrendous imbalances have devastated our industrial base and put our national security at risk.
I don't blame these other countries at all for this calamity.
I blame former presidents and past leaders who weren't doing their job.
They let it happen, and they let it happen to an extent that nobody can even believe.
That's why effective at midnight, We will impose a 25% tariff on all foreign-made automobiles.
Thank you.
Brian, I'd like to have you come up here for a second, okay?
I just see him sitting.
He's been a fan of ours and he understands this business a lot better than- Listen.
We got three minutes left in the broadcast.
I buy used anyway.
I buy outright because I'm not a rich guy.
I'm also not a finance guy.
When I say finance guy, yes, no, I'm not a big into finances.
I don't finance things.
If I can't buy it, I don't own it.
Jason, how will you ever own a house?
Either I will save up for that house or I will never own a house.
Again, I come from a different world where, first of all, I'm not rich.
I have, you know, a bit of a backup.
You know, I'm currently helping to, you know, raise two kids that aren't mine that I love very much, right?
That's my biggest priority and to ensure that we could take care of that.
But, you know, when I was a kid, people would go to, like, the auction and buy a house outright at the auction.
Like, that's how my stepfather and his father used to do it all the time.
When I bought my last car the car all my cars.
I'm not into Financing and months and leasing I go find a nice used vehicle that has a lot of miles left on it take it to a mechanic see what he thinks and I take the money I saved and I buy it and My Jeep is rocking right now.
I love it very much.
It's killer Okay, let's fingers crossed Fingers crossed don't want to jinx myself with that being said guys as we wrap it up.
I do want to remind everybody I Cannot do this without you guys thumbs it up subscribe share Check out the alt platforms.
There are more posts more videos on some of the other platforms rumble Rockfin the band video consider buying me a coffee five ten fifteen dollars it is Big time to this guy.
Big donors, thank you so much.
There are other links down below on how to do that.
I do want to remind everybody that I am not just blowing smoke up people's ass when I say it's not about left or right.
None of the stuff that we discussed today was, you know, am I unhinged on either end, right?
To all the human beings out there, Let's reach out to the other human beings.
Try to bring them into the reality of the conversation.
Allow them not to be unhinged and everybody's a Nazi and blah blah and we shouldn't shrink the government and hold them accountable criminally etc etc but then actually question what's actually going on with Musk and technology and space and automation and robotics.
And let's ask the real questions.
What does the future economy look like, even with these tariffs?
I think, again, Trump's intentions are good.
Right? I mean, I don't have TDS one way, and I also don't think that he's Jesus Christmas.
That's all I'm saying.
Guys, I love you.
