| Thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Here is our toll-free telephone number. | |
| You want to be a part of the program. | |
| It is 800-941-SHAWN, if you'd like to join us. | |
| I can't even really respond to the overwhelming generosity of comments Trust me, when I when interviews, people don't like them, they're pretty loud about it. | |
| And uh, in fairness, um, sometimes the criticism is right. | |
| And this was an interview that just kind of took on a life of its own. | |
| Uh, although we got a we we got so much. | |
| I when I walked into this interview with for President Trump and Elon Musk, I had no idea how long I was gonna have with them. | |
| No idea. | |
| And you know, I was hoping to get a full hour. | |
| We actually ended up having more, uh, which we will run tonight. | |
| Like tonight, there's some really incredibly insightful things that we just didn't have time for last night. | |
| You know, why he wants to do this, and you know, the what happens to the world of America fails and how America cannot fail, and his motivation for doing it. | |
| It is it is pretty spectacular. | |
| Um how to make things better. | |
| And, you know, I got into a lot of this, and I don't think um if I wanted to accomplish one thing in this interview, I as we listen to the the you know, the the state-run legacy media mob that they they have no interest in going through where the waste, fraud, abuse, corruption is none at all. | |
| I mean, we had a moment on fake news CNN, and I thought it was pretty revealing, and it was Stephen Miller just are you against the cuts? | |
| You know, tell me why you're against these cuts. | |
| You know, ask him some anchor over fake news CNN, and I'm and you know, because as we played on the program yesterday, these are comments eliminating waste, fraud, abuse in government. | |
| These are comments that have been made repeatedly. | |
| You know, Ronald Reagan had the Grace Commission, but these were comments made by Democratic presidents and vice presidents. | |
| You know, Bill Clinton made these comments repeatedly, and uh, you know, Al Gore made these comments repeatedly, and and Barack Obama made these comments repeatedly. | |
| And you know, and Republicans have been saying it for years. | |
| And I love Miller was being attacked on fake news CNN. | |
| The U.S. government is $36 trillion in debt, and the average American makes $66,000 a year. | |
| And here you have a guy that's putting his life on hold, working for free, he's not getting paid, and a guy that has done some of the most innovative, amazing things in his life with the the brain of a genius he thinks on levels that all of us could only dream of. | |
| I mean, if you think of everything from PayPal, all right, may sound simple in this day and age, wasn't so simple when you thought of it and making it work, or SpaceX, where if it becomes the first public company, he was the chief engineer, invested his own hundred million dollars at the time, money that I think he got from PayPal, and you know, is the chief engineer and becomes the first public company to send, you know, astronauts into orbit. | |
| Pretty amazing accomplishment. | |
| He sees the the incredible possibility of Tesla early on, electric cars. | |
| Think liberals would love that. | |
| Even joked, yeah, liberals used to love me. | |
| They don't love me anymore. | |
| And you know, and and look at the innovation. | |
| And by the way, he's not mandating. | |
| And at one point it even came out because yes, I asked the conflict of interest question, and what's gonna Happen to Social Security and Medicare and who's in charge between you two. | |
| All right. | |
| I knew the media would would care the most about that stuff. | |
| But for me, it was just very different. | |
| For me, I wanted to understand it. | |
| I wanted to understand him. | |
| And then I look at all the other accomplishments. | |
| I mean, he's he's on the precipice of going into space. | |
| They have successfully docked with space station before and and now they're gonna do it to rescue astronauts. | |
| I don't know why there's not there wasn't urgency during the Biden Kamala Harris years. | |
| It makes absolutely positively no sense. | |
| And uh, you know, one of the questions I ask him that will will air tonight. | |
| I don't know how much time we have left, maybe 12, 15 minutes of uh uh available, you know, to use tonight, but and uh you know, I ask him why is he doing all these things and and President Trump weighs in that this is the most important thing he's ever gonna do. | |
| This might be the only chance we ever get. | |
| I mean, when you have the average American seeing, and that's why I keep scrolling, because if I I you know, imagine being the interviewer and they say, excuse me while I read this long list of waste, fraud, and abuse that you found that we've been able to confirm. | |
| And I read that I would take the whole time that nobody they wouldn't want to talk to me. | |
| And you couldn't blame them, and I'd be talking too much. | |
| So I decided, you know what, I'm just gonna scroll this. | |
| Like I've been scrolling it. | |
| But, you know, and Elon goes into great specificity about God help this the world, if America fails, we cannot fail. | |
| And it might be our only opportunity. | |
| And he goes into detail about how this may be our one shot. | |
| We're it's like what Newt's been saying. | |
| We we've got to the dance, but they haven't fixed it all yet. | |
| And in the end, it's gonna be hundreds of billions, if not over a trillion dollars in savings, and that's gonna be great for our kid kids and grandkids, and we're gonna run government more efficiently. | |
| And I say, in my words, return to constitutional order and the the values, the vision of our framers and founders, which is liberty government and greater freedom. | |
| You know, the interest payments on the debt, you know, now exceed our national defense budget. | |
| We're we're at a point where we're gonna have the the biggest debt to GDP ratio since World War II. | |
| The American people still suffering. | |
| We still live under the Biden Harris economy and and people are putting bare necessities on on credit cards, 56%. | |
| I I've been saying this now for days, of the American people cannot afford a $1,000 emergency expense if if God forbid their their air air conditioner goes down or their car breaks down, they're in trouble. | |
| And that's why credit card debt is as high as it is right now. | |
| And but the American people are tired. | |
| And when they see this, you know, the that the if you had a natural reaction, you would be outraged. | |
| You know, and it was funny. | |
| So Stephen Miller's on you you may assert that there's no waste in the treasury, but I'm not asserting, uh I don't think anyone would assert that, Stephen. | |
| And he says, then why are you not celebrating these cuts? | |
| If you agree there's waste and abuse, if you agree there's corruption, why are you not and why is the media not celebrating these reforms? | |
| Why people are going to die because of doge. | |
| No, they're not. | |
| You're not going to. | |
| And that got clarified last night uh by the president as it relates to Social Security and Medicare. | |
| It doesn't mean you can't reform them, just like you can block grant money to the states or have school vouchers and eliminate the Department of Education. | |
| But you know, we we we've got to understand why this is important. | |
| And um, and I I that that was more my motivation because I don't think a lot of people know this. | |
| Then you add to that, you know, the his the robotic arm of Tesla. | |
| I mean, robots created that could do menial tasks for people in their homes, it's probably gonna be more common much more quickly than people think. | |
| It's kind of like when big screen TVs came out, only a few people had them, then the price went way, way down. | |
| If you bought one of the early ones, you paid a fortune. | |
| If you waited, you got it for next to nothing. | |
| At some point, robots will become more common and the price is gonna be driven down dramatically and they'll mass produce it, and and we may all have robots, you know, I uh, you know, cleaning our house, cleaning the dishes. | |
| I don't know what they can do, you know, or something as as unbelievably magical if they can pull this off, working with artificial intelligence and his new version of Grok, which, according to every expert, is surpassing even what the Chinese deep seek that they put out and every other AI that has been created, but it's taken it to a new level, and he wants to study the vastness of the universe and and creation. | |
| And it's just the media and and the left don't want to see the big picture. | |
| And when he talks about neurolink maybe curing blindness and people that have spinal cord injuries one day being able to walk, uh, you've got my attention. | |
| And then you're going to devote your time, energy, resources into finding waste fraud and abuse, and they're finding it, you know, in ways that should make every American so angry. | |
| And the only people that keep pushing back and are screaming and singing and chanting, we will win, blah, blah, blah, and all this madness and calling him the F-word and you know, male body parts, the street vernacular and constitutional crisis. | |
| It's not a constitutional crisis. | |
| The only crisis is the corruption that's been exposed. | |
| They don't like him because he's friends with Trump and he exposed them for their waste fraud abuse and corruption. | |
| And they don't like being exposed, and that's where their power came from, spending and abusing your money. | |
| And it's your money. | |
| It's not my m and it's partly my money, but but just wasting it and robbing from our kids and grandkids at a level that is unprecedented. | |
| And they want to be angry at Elon Musk. | |
| Um there is it was so interesting getting to know him because in many ways he's just innocent and he's just excited by every aspect of life. | |
| He thinks about getting plans to Mars and people to Mars. | |
| I don't wake up in the morning thinking about doing something that incredibly brave, bold, and innovative. | |
| My brain is not as bright as his. | |
| And yet we have good people that want to devote their lives to government. | |
| Now, you know, at different times, people ask me if I ever want to run for office. | |
| I'm like, wow, you must really hate me. | |
| Because look at what they do to people that want to run for office. | |
| And nobody's gotten the brunt of this and the abuse of it more than Donald Trump ever. | |
| And, you know, Jon Stewart was pretty interesting. | |
| And, you know, Jon Stewart doesn't like me. | |
| And I don't think I don't particularly love him. | |
| But but you know what? | |
| I got to give him props. | |
| I mean, he's willing to call out the left and Bill Maher. | |
| Same thing. | |
| I don't have a relationship with either one of them. | |
| And I don't really like to do interviews anyway. | |
| I have no desire. | |
| But when they're spot on, they're at least far more honest than other people in the media. | |
| And he actually said. | |
| That I tell, you know, when you keep saying fascist, fascist, fascist. | |
| And I think if you quote cry fascism at every administration overreach, even the ones that are constitutionally OK, you're going to find yourself out of fascism bullets when the time really comes. | |
| And I think what the media has done over the past 10 years is cry wolf to the point that they have numbed everybody. | |
| And it's gotten to the point where, you know, what was the thing they litigated throughout this campaign? | |
| He's a fascist. | |
| He's a horrible person. | |
| Democracy on the ballot. | |
| Guess what? | |
| It was. | |
| He goes. | |
| Guess what? | |
| Lost at the ballot. | |
| If you told us democracy was on the ballot, democracy got its ass kicked by a majority vote. | |
| Now, it's smart and it's clever and it's true. | |
| And he says, so I'm very cautious about when. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, hopefully I won't do it, you know, himself. | |
| But it's like when you put your dog down, it's one of those things like you're not quite sure. | |
| But I do understand how annoying that is. | |
| And he's he's kind of warning the left. | |
| Bill Maher has been saying the same thing. | |
| You know, even before the election, if Trump wins, I know what I'm going to do. | |
| I'm going to do exactly what I'm doing now. | |
| And if Kamala would have won. | |
| Yeah, I would have. | |
| It would be rough. | |
| I think the country was headed into a very steep decline of radicalism. | |
| That one that would spiral so far out of control. | |
| I don't know if we would be able to come back and save it even. | |
| I just don't know. | |
| You know, people say, who's the next Trump? | |
| There is no next Trump. | |
| never was a next Reagan. | |
| It just wasn't. | |
| There are true originals in life. | |
| And there's nobody else like him. | |
| I mean, to be of the force of nature that he is, and to take all that he's taken and come back standing. | |
| They threw everything they had at him to destroy him. | |
| Um so this is where we are, and this is an opportunity now to be transformational. | |
| An opportunity to get back on the right path and return to constitutional order to return to the principles of limited government. | |
| And this goes for Republicans too, because they're still fighting amongst themselves about you know how much to cut, where to cut. | |
| None of them are going to get everything that they want, but there is a roadmap, and that would be the Trump agenda. | |
| And which I think should unite all of them because without Donald Trump in this election, a lot of them wouldn't be there. | |
| And he carried a number of them across the finish line. | |
| And that's just a fact. | |
| So I hope you we still have more we'll run tonight and uh and and talk more about it, analyze it. | |
| Christy No I'm also on tonight. | |
| We got a great show, nine Eastern on Fox. | |
| But uh I am I am pretty amazed, and I think we're pretty blessed that good people want to serve us, and they give up a lot in the process, and then they get demonized by people that just don't like their politics for no reason at all. | |
| Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm. | |
| And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |
| We've been in political media for a long time. | |
| Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane. | |
| That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity. | |
| We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor. | |
| We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously. | |
| So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional SAS. | |
| You're our kind of people. | |
| Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. | |
| All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800, 941 Shauna's hunt number. | |
| What is your family's safety and security plan if somebody breaks into your home? | |
| What is because it's happening more and more. | |
| I mean, there's crime in small towns, big cities. | |
| Look, my first option is always to get out of the situation and not have any confrontation. | |
| That that should be everybody's first option. | |
| If you have the ability, you your last option is lethal force. | |
| And I've always had a license to carry, I still do, and in Florida. | |
| I even had one in New York City, believe it or not. | |
| And although I return that. | |
| But, you know, what is the option? | |
| The next option for me is thanks to the technology that is burner, the less lethal launcher, it's so effective, and you can see the videos for yourself. | |
| You can de-escalate any situation without irreversible consequences of deadly force. | |
| It gives you a choice. | |
| It gives you an option if the situation is right. | |
| And anyway, uh, I'll tell you, Brett from Burn the Burner Owners Group on Facebook recently posted a story. | |
| How the one time he forgot to pack his burner on his walk with his dog was the one time he was attacked by an unleashed dog, and he left the situation bloodied, as was his dog, and he learned a serious lesson. | |
| Never leave home without a burner. | |
| Now, the beauty of burner is it has kinetic rounds and and tear gas and pepper spray, and you know, sometimes the projectiles come in different forms based on state law, but it is legal in all 50 states. | |
| You don't need a permit, you don't need a background check. | |
| And Burner and this technology is so sophisticated and so good, it's now trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, and private security firms. | |
| Please take the time. | |
| It's only a minute. | |
| Just go to their website, look at their videos, and if this technology does not impress you, then I don't know what will, because it's very effective. | |
| It can incapacitate any perpetrator 30 to 40 minutes. | |
| Burner, B Y R N A.com slash Hannity. | |
| He'll get 10% off any purchase. | |
| That's B Y R N A dot com slash Hannity today. | |
| Check out those videos. | |
| All right, we do have a lot to get to. | |
| Last thing I'm gonna say about Musk is he has, and we discussed this a little bit, XAI, which is the newest version of its flagship, Elon Musk Musk's flagship, Grok Chatbot out which outperforms its artificial intelligence. | |
| He believes rival Sam Altman and OpenAI and the latest all the buzz about China's deep seek and the discovery most people didn't think that the Chinese were as close and as sophisticated in AI until that came out. | |
| But GROK three scored higher on tests in math, science and coding than any other artificial intelligence out there. | |
| And that includes OpenAI's GPT 40 and Google's Gemini and Deep Seek and every other model out there and XAI's claims about a GROK III's performance you know are are pretty amazing and all of artificial intelligence is to me. | |
| It will change all of our lives and we just don't know how it's going to change all of our lives. | |
| We don't know starting with Doge today, the top 10 federal agencies in Doge cost savings. | |
| And I mean these are billions of dollars that we're talking about here. | |
| We're not talking about millions billions. | |
| And there is a difference eight billion one hundred and sixty four million Department of Homeland Security six billion five hundred and forty one thousand for the the agency you know AID or agency for international development separate the Department of Education over a billion dollars. | |
| I mean it just goes on and on top of all of the specific cuts um it was pretty interesting too I mean to get the questions answered that I know the media would want most answered you know is it President Musk because they don't want these guys to get along you got the guy the world's smartest richest man offering his time and energy taking it away from some of the most creative thinking in the world who's in charge president musk they just do it to try to divide Trump and Musk and they know it they see it. | |
| So we got that question straightened out and the fear mongering it won't be Social Security and grandpa and we dealt with that last night department of education which the president has said he wants shut down immediately. | |
| Yeah he clarified that too more efficient ways than having a federal bureaucracy running education in every state and even acknowledge some states will do a poor job at it and then there'll be you know if you give it to different areas of states independently like he broke up New York if you look at the map of New York the voting map a lot of the state is red. | |
| As a matter of fact, the majority by far of the state, upstate New York, Nassau County, Suffolk County, you know, all gone red. | |
| Bruce Blakeman's done a great job in Nassau County as the county executive. | |
| They've done, you know, phenomenal work. | |
| And as a result, they are being rewarded by voters at the polls. | |
| I mean, I, you know, now the only thing Governor Hochul seems concerned about is whether to, you know, step in and remove the mayor of the city of New York for the first time. | |
| It's insane. | |
| Like... | |
| they just they they can't get their act together um Donald Trump now some people say well why would Donald Trump do this why because it needs to be done we have seen the weaponization of our Department of Justice we have seen the politicizing and weaponizing of our FBI and our intelligence community and the president directed the Justice Department to fire all U.S. attorneys left over from the Biden administration all of them and he said therefore I have instructed | |
| the termination of all remaining Biden era U.S. attorneys we must clean house immediately restore confidence they were there the whole time did any of them ever stand up at the Department of Justice and say that uh wait a minute this is not equal justice under the law and when you know I talk about rank and file I understand at the at the FBI really there's so many of these people that look forward to the FBI being restored to you know Towards its | |
| former greatness and being restored as the world's premier law enforcement agency. | |
| And on top of that, you have senior DOJ prosecutors quitting after being told to investigate Biden's climate spending. | |
| Well, I mean, look at what we're spending on climate radicalism worldwide. | |
| We're not even spending it here. | |
| This transcends, you know, everything that the the UN is doing, and that we give seven billion dollars a year to, and you know, the Paris climate accords in which we're paying hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars. | |
| I mean, this is insanity. | |
| And the American people have a right to know, and this is what the president signed in his executive order yesterday, where every penny is going. | |
| So clean house, you know, and the left is doing what they always do. | |
| We now have a whopping 74 lawsuits filed in federal courts against the administration. | |
| Because what they can't get done at the ballot box, what they can't get done electorally, what they can't get done legislatively, you know, then they they run to the liberal courts in the hopes that they can get it done there and go against the will of the American people. | |
| And frankly, what's right for the American people? | |
| This is basic simple common sense. | |
| If you're a Democrat and you see all of this waste, fraud and abuse, and you realize it's your money and your children's money and your grandchildren's money, are you not angry at this? | |
| Uh, because I think you should you have every right to be angry. | |
| Um anyway, the House Senate. | |
| I mean, we kind of expected this, a little bit of intramural fighting. | |
| It's probably gonna take Donald Trump to act to get these guys get to get working in unison. | |
| Um, and that is they had a budget test vote clearing in the Senate as the House GOP is not gotten time to act on their bill. | |
| They were very, very stringent, stringent requirements for a reconciliation bill in the U.S. Senate. | |
| And it is time to act on the mandate of the American people, and that's rebuilding our defense, securing our border, preparing for the next generation of weaponry, unleashing American energy, supporting all these people in the country illegally. | |
| Let's see, Doge found the GAO now admits up to seven percent of federal spending may be fraudulent. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's a nonpartisan government agency. | |
| This isn't even Doge. | |
| The director telling MPR that fraud represents three to seven percent of our annual federal budget. | |
| Well, if the GAO nonpartisan says that, maybe what they're doing with Doge is a pretty good thing. | |
| But you know, the left keeps crying constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis. | |
| That's the first thing they always do. | |
| He's in violation of the constitution. | |
| You know, it's as Musk said last night, he actually answered. | |
| He said, when these attacks occur, the thing they're accusing the administration of is what they are guilty of. | |
| They're saying that things are being done that are unconstitutional, but what they're doing is unconstitutional. | |
| Frankly, outright theft. | |
| Um it was pretty funny. | |
| There are two a couple of things that they didn't know. | |
| One, I started out joking around. | |
| I just said, Well, he's your friend and he's working for free, but you just settled a $10 million suit that you had filed against Twitter before Elon Musk knew it. | |
| Elon Musk act like I just give it to the lawyers. | |
| I didn't I didn't pay attention to it. | |
| And Trump didn't know that Musk endorsed him the day of the assassination attempt in Butler. | |
| That was pretty interesting. | |
| Uh, that came out of the interview. | |
| And I kind of started, I said, You made him pay 10 million dollars. | |
| I'm like, give him the money back. | |
| When did you think that was a little funny? | |
| I did. | |
| I thought it was a little awkward. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I would have I don't know that I would have led with that, but I have a question for you. | |
| What? | |
| So you're sitting in a room with these two dudes, right? | |
| Three dudes sitting in a room. | |
| Okay. | |
| Is this a joke? | |
| No, no, no, yeah. | |
| Three guys walk into a bar. | |
| But all kidding aside, I know how you prep and how much you prepped. | |
| How much of what you wanted to ask did you ask? | |
| You never get in everything you want to ask. | |
| There's certain things I knew that I had to get in. | |
| You know, who's in charge, how do you get along, what's the nature of the relationship? | |
| Um, what if there's a conflict? | |
| What about the fear mongering about social security, Medicare? | |
| Those those you just had to get in. | |
| But that that, you know, I those are basic questions that now the next question. | |
| If I didn't ask him, I'd get I would have gotten killed, but that was people to know. | |
| The liberal air needed to be cleared and squashed, and I thought that was smart. | |
| And I enjoyed it. | |
| Now, how long did it take before the three of you actually sat down to do the actual interview? | |
| I know you guys must have been maybe you had some jujitsu moments, maybe you flipped the president, showed, you know. | |
| No, I didn't flip no, I've never shown the president any of my But all kidding aside, how how was it like did you guys walk around the White House? | |
| Like did you guys talk for a little bit? | |
| What's the behind the scenes? | |
| Behind the scenes as I get there, the president when you go in the Oval Office and I went through the Oval Office, there's a bathroom on the right, there's a room that the president has turned kind of into like a souvenir room that he gives gifts to people when they visit the White House, and then there's uh a dining room area. | |
| It's not that big, it's pretty small, but we were all just hanging out at the dining room, just you know, hanging out probably for an hour. | |
| Just just talking. | |
| Wow. | |
| So you had a like an hour of hang time before you did the actual sit down. | |
| Yeah, then I was getting ner nervous that I wasn't gonna have any time, but I had no idea how much time they'd give me. | |
| I was hoping I'd get a whole show out of it, and I got a little more, but um, you know, it's yeah, I mean Was there anything that you love that didn't make air? | |
| Um you mean the stuff behind the scenes you learned? | |
| I mean, obviously you know the president. | |
| I learned that I really liked him. | |
| Who I learned well, I obviously I'm a fan of President Trump. | |
| I'm very outspoken about it, but um I really liked Elon Musk. | |
| And I found him, you know, he's his genius comes across, and he's got the innocence of a kid in many ways. | |
| He's like he gets excited over like the stuff that he's doing, which probably explains why he sleeps at work all the time. | |
| I mean, he has a reputation for just like sleeping on the floor in one of his offices. | |
| Well, I guess that's a perfect fit for President Trump who doesn't sleep at all. | |
| So, you know, he barely sleeps too. | |
| You know what you should have done, he just said you should have said guys sleep as well. | |
| I got my rapid radios. | |
| Let's all get let's get three of them, we'll share them, and then we can just share ideas all night long because you're the three people in the world that don't sleep. | |
| Okay, you're dealing with multi multi-billionaires here and one of the fine, we'll plate them in gold. | |
| It's fine. | |
| And we gotta admit it was a little funny when I said he's the richest guy in the world. | |
| It probably bothers you a little bit. | |
| I was just messing with President Trump. | |
| And it's a good one. | |
| Well, I mean, really, who is more wealthy, right? | |
| I mean, but he is the most powerful, so there is that. | |
| I did think it was it felt real to me, their friendship, which was nice. | |
| That is I can confirm that a thousand percent. | |
| And it was just the interview took on a life of its own. | |
| I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and say I controlled that interview because I did not. | |
| I just let them talk about it. | |
| I would disagree with that. | |
| I think you controlled that interview. | |
| You were very much a part of that interview. | |
| I didn't feel like that was like a train gone astray. | |
| No, it wasn't because I thought the the conversation was real, and it it's what I mean by to take it took on a life of its own, it's he they gave very genuine real answers. | |
| And a lot of a lot we you know, kind of came up a little bit behind the scenes, but it was more getting to know him, and if I could, I'd like to spend a day with Elon Musk and just get in his brain and listen to him. | |
| I said to him, I would love to pick your brain about AI. | |
| The thing that fascinates me the most, I mean, well, two things that really fascinate me the most about him is Norolink, his passion for it, and SpaceX and the rescuing of the astronauts. | |
| Well, I think I think my favorite line, I don't want to give it away because we're playing a lot of it at five o'clock. | |
| But I think one of the funnier moments, in my opinion, and uh Katie and Ethan can speak to this as well, was when he said, I watched that rocket come back like you grab a beautiful baby, you know, a big beautiful baby. | |
| I was like, what is happening right now? | |
| Why is he saying so weird? | |
| I was like, I don't know if that's how we grab babies, but all right, cool, sure, whatever. | |
| And Trump kind of like me, you know, when he first met Elon had no idea how deep he was into all of this, and now he understands it all. | |
| And that's that's and he's such a question. | |
| Well, he is like you, a serial entrepreneur, so I'm sure there is between the three of you a lot of conversation to have about building businesses, how you fail, how you succeed, why you need to fail to learn from it, and so on and so forth. | |
| There's There's so much that we can learn from smart people. | |
| And I just wish, you know, for a moment that common sense would prevail and there would be recognition. | |
| I mean, if again, if this is the political hill Democrats want to die on, it is the dumbest choice ever. | |
| Reckless, Green New Deal, DEI, transgenderism, wokeism, LGBTQ monies, you know, tens, what will be hundreds of billions abroad, while America is it has record debt, and our our our taxpayers are buried under the Biden Harris economy, which we all still live under. | |
| So it was uh we'll get to that. | |
| We're gonna play uh the interview from last night. | |
| And we have more tonight, by the way. | |
