Stephen, I don't think anyone.
Then why are you not celebrating these cuts?
If you agree there is waste, if you agree there is abuse, if you agree there is corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts, the reforms that are being instituted?
What I'm doing here, what the president's doing is it's just long-term thinking.
The Shep of America must be strong.
Shep of America cannot sink.
If it sinks, we all sink with it.
Musk is gonna go to Mars.
So he doesn't care what happens to the planet.

Sean Hannity New Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
I think Scott Shannon, hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
By the way, thank you to everybody making this interview with President Trump and Elon Musk.
Such a success.
Um it's like off-the-chart numbers when you start including, you know, we're playing it on radio and on TV and on the podcast and on Hannity.com and Fox Nation and Fox itself.
Just off the charts.
And uh, I'm very grateful.
And I think it was important that the country see this in light of all of the vicious, vile, hateful attacks against somebody that's trying to expose waste fraud abuse and corruption.
And doing it for free.
And while simultaneously doing incredible things to advance humanity.
Uh but anyway, here is more of my interview with President Trump and Elon Musk from the White House.
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 America makes $66,000 a year.
Yeah.
Okay.
We have $37 trillion in national debt.
Yeah.
Now, all the money I'm about to mention, and what we're gonna 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 I think the average tax paying Americans should be mad as hell because their tax money is being spent.
All right, let me go to the next the first second question first.
I want to know because people like Joni Ernst and and tried to get has tried for a long time, and she's actually got a lot of good data.
Senator Earth has been really helpful, actually.
Okay, but they they actually hide what the real purpose of the spending is.
In other words, they and and how this is a question.
How did you decipher?
It will say humanitarian blah blah blah in Serbia or Afghanistan.
We've even given money to China for crying out loud.
Which I think is nuts.
We'll give it money to the Taliban.
But money to the Taliban.
Like a lot.
All right, so like for what?
But they I want to see the pictures of what they did.
But they tried to obscure it, and then but then you got to the bottom line, which is what I'm now scrolling on the screen.
Yeah.
And that is 20 million on a Sesame Street show in Iraq.
56 million to boost tourism in Tunisia and Egypt, 40 million to build schools in Jordan, 11 million to tell the Vietnamese to stop burning trash, um, 45 million for DEI scholarships in Burma, 520 million for consultant-driven ESG and investments in Africa, uh, you DEI programs in Serbia, the President's favorite.
I'm sure you you love the taxpayer money was spent on a DEI musical in Ireland or chan transgender opera in Columbia or transgender economics.
It sounds like how can these things be real?
But this is actually what was done.
It sounds like a comedy sketch, or something.
I have 20 pages.
Right.
It's not list of mile long.
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.
Well, the the overall goal is to try to get a trillion dollars out of the deficit.
And if we if we if the deficit is not brought under control, America will go bankrupt.
This is a very important thing for people to understand.
Um 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 and the out the the massive wastewater abuse that has been going on, um, which is leading to uh two trillion dollar year deficit.
That that's what the president was handed on Janu 20, a two trillion dollar deficit.
Um this fiscal year.
Yeah, we inherit it.
Yeah.
And and inflation is back.
I'm only here for two and a half weeks.
That was generally a week.
Now think of it.
Inflation is back, and they said, Oh, Trump inf I had nothing to do with it.
These people have run the country.
They spent money like nobody has ever spent.
They they were they were given nine trillion dollars to throw out the window.
Nine trillion.
And they spent it on the Green News scam, I call it's the greatest scam in the history of the country.
One of them.
We have a lot of them, I guess, but one of them.
Oh, uh, dollar-wise probably.
And wokism and transitions.
Well, that's all part of it, yeah.
And LGBTQ plus.
Yeah.
By the way, not in America.
Other countries, not here.
You know, the amazing thing is when you see like the uh the teaching of DEI, nine million dollars.
How do you spend nine million to teach, no matter what it is?
You could teach specifics.
Totally.
You could go to MIT for a lot of people.
It looks like expensive.
Yeah.
The teaching of TEM.
How much do you believe, Elon, you've identified in waste fraud or be a scorpion now?
And how much do you anticipate you will?
Sure.
Um, the I think one percent.
No, because it's so massive.
It's it this is huge money.
So what we found now is one percent.
We're just gonna start.
They're not gonna find some contract that was crooked, you know, crooked as hell.
I mean, there's gonna be so much that isn't found.
But what is found, I think he's gonna find a trillion dollars.
Yeah, I think so.
But I think it's a very small percentage compared to what it is.
Let me go to an area that I think is key.
And 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 kids not gonna 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 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 money is given, or so much and and then Elon goes, but look, Social Security won't be touched.
Other than it'll be fraud or something, we're gonna find it's gonna be strengthened, but won't be touched.
Medicare, Medicaid, none of that stuff is gonna be touched.
Nothing.
I want to.
Now, if there are illegal migrants in the system, we're gonna get them out of the system and all of that fraud.
But it's not gonna be touched.
School.
I want to bring school back to the States so that Iowa, Indiana, all these places, uh Idaho, uh New Hampshire.
There's so many places, the states, I figure 35 really want run well.
And right now it's Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, China.
China, can you imagine?
Has top top schools.
We're less.
So they have a list of 40 countries.
We're number 40, usually we're 38, 30, and then the last time we were number 40.
And what I say is you gotta 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 plus per pupil.
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.
A lot of them 35, 37, 38.
Now you're going to have ten 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 education.
Now, school choice is important, but that will get care of taken care of automatically.
You will spend half the numbers.
And I'm not even doing this like the I'm not even doing this to save.
But you will say 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 Norway, Sweden, Denmark, places that really have a good school system.
You'll have those places will be the equivalent.
And your overall numbers will get so much better.
You want standards associated.
The only thing I want to do from uh from Washington, D.C. is make sure they're teaching English, reading, writing, math, science.
Science is a good idea.
Okay, a little science.
Computers.
You're not gonna have much of a problem with that, but that's it.
So you're your task now, and I pray to God this is successful.
I really do.
I wish you godspeed.
You know, Godspeed, John Glenn.
It's going to be, by the way.
I really believe it's a good thing.
But they're all the same.
Well beside this.
This is cutting.
We're only talking about cutting.
Uh we're also going to make a lot of money.
We're gonna we're taking in so much.
What about his business?
What if if there is uh uh contract he would otherwise let him do it?
He's got a conflict.
I mean, look, he's in certain areas.
I mean, I see this morning, I didn't I didn't know, but I said do the right thing, where they're cutting way back on the electric vehicle uh subsidies.
Yes.
They're cutting back.
You'll lose.
Not only cutting back.
Yeah.
Now I wouldn'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 gotta do me a favor.
This is crazy.
But 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.
Yeah.
And as long as he has a level playing field, he doesn't care what you do, which is very he's told me that.
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't asked the president for anything ever.
And if it comes up, how will you handle it?
Well, you won't be involved.
Yeah, I'll I'll recuse myself if it is.
If there's a conflict, you won't be involved.
I mean, I wouldn't want that, and he won't want it.
Right.
And and obviously I'm getting a sort of a daily promptology exam here.
You know, it's not like I'll be going to be getting away from something in the dead of night.
Welcome to D.C. If you want a friend, get a dog.
Well, I do have a dog, but I also have friends.
My dog loves me.
You know the truth with the story.
Bring it to D.C. He's I know every businessman.
I know the the good ones, the bad ones, the smart ones, the lucky ones.
I know more.
This guy is a 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 are 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 that would try and take advantage of the situation.
This guy is somebody that really cares for the country.
And I saw that very early on, so 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 and that love the country.
So people ask me, like, what's what's the what's the what's like the what's your biggest surprise in in and DC?
And I'm like, the sheer scale.
It's massive.
So you would love the challenge.
Well, to the president's point.
That's the only thing you can say.
He'll never do anything.
I mean, you do something slightly better and you save billions of dollars for the American taxpayer.
Just slightly better.
When you say tech support, you get one percent better, and it's like you know, tens of billions of dollars saved for the American taxpayer.
If I may address the point that you the question you asked earlier, which is you know, how do we assure people they want to know?
Yeah, how do we assure people that we're gonna do the right thing, that their that their social security benefits will be there, that their the medical care will be good, and and and and and in fact, how do we make it show that there's better medical care in the future?
How do we improve their benefits?
How do we make sure that the social security check goes further than it did in the past and not uh it doesn't get weakened by inflation?
So the if if we if we address the the the massive deficit spending, the the sort of the the waste in the government, um then that we can actually address inflation.
So provided the economy grows faster than the money supply, uh which means you you you stop the government overspending and the waste um and the and the the output of real useful goods and services exceeds the increase in the money supply, you have no inflation.
And and you also drop the the the interest payments that that people pay.
Because if the government ways to lie, yes, the the reason the interest payments are so high is because the the national debt keeps increasing.
So the the government is competing for to sell debt with with with the private citizens.
This drives up the interest rate.
So if you have a if you have a um if if you cut back on the deficit, you actually have an amazing situation for people because you get you get rid of inflation and you drop the interest rates.
And that means people's mortgage payments go down, their credit card payments go down, their car payments go down, uh their student loans go down, everything their their life becomes more affordable, and their standard of living improved.
How quickly?
Because I think people are suffering now.
You were still living under the bike.
John, you have states right now.
You have some states that operate that way.
They operate as well as any corporation.
They really operate well.
Yeah.
They have surpluses, they're not.
Texas is at the simplest, for example.
When they look at New York and and California and some of these places that should have an advantage.
I mean, there's a big advantage.
Or Pritzka does such a bad job in Illinois, it's horrible how bad he is.
And they don't have that advantage.
You know, New York has stock exchange and lots of things, and California has the weather and the beautiful.
It's great weather.
The most expensive weather on earth.
Yeah.
But I like Florida.
Yeah.
But some states operate the way he's talking about.
Efficiently.
When you go in to some of these states, you're gonna find very little.
You're gonna find almost nothing.
They really operate well.
Big surpluses, low taxes.
Well, my taxes went up the first time you were president because you took away the salt deduction.
Well, I didn't.
Which by the way, I thought was the right decision.
It was the right decision.
In fact, Reagan tried to do it because it rewards badly run uh states.
We'll come back.
We'll continue more of my interview with President Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk.
Then we'll get to your calls coming up.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markovitz.
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 tass.
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 till the top of the hour, 800, 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh I love this company so much.
I wish I thought of it because they do incredible work.
They have helped millions of millions of families protect and preserve all of these priceless family memories.
And it's called legacy box.
I want you to write now, you go to legacybogs.com/slash Hannity.
You will get 50% off today by doing that.
Now what's going to happen?
They're going to send you a box.
What are you going to do with the box?
Well, you're going to go through your attic, your closets, your basement, you're going to go into the garage.
You're going to have other family members do the same.
And you're going to find every family memory uh that is now fading away and you know, vulnerable to things like heat, moisture, mold, and that means every camcorder tape, VHS tape, film reels if you had them, fading photos, negatives if you still have them, and you're gonna put them in the box.
And you're gonna get everything back, all the originals back, but you will be serving in uh saving in perpetuity all these family memories.
Think how cool it will be when you get digitized memories and you can sit around with your family and and watch old family movies and look at photos and and maybe see and hear from people, the loved ones that have passed away over the years.
And then think about the future.
We don't like to think about our kids and grandkids.
What about your great great great great great-great-great-grandchildren?
They'll be able to know what you look and sound like.
How cool will that be for them?
That's what legacy box does, and you're gonna love it.
Anyway, right now, 50% off today.
It's simple.
Get the process started.
Go to legacybox.com/slash Hannity.
You can take your time, sending it back and preserve all those family memories in perpetuity.
All right, we're gonna get to your calls uh in in just a few more minutes.
We have a few minutes left of President Trump and Elon Musk, and then your calls coming up.
We'll get right to the phones in a few minutes, 800-941 Sean, our number as we continue.
How quickly can you balance the budget and and when do we start paying down that?
Well, potentially very quickly, between what he's doing and with income coming in from tariffs and other things.
I mean, I hope we can.
I don't want to give a date because then these people are gonna say, oh, well, he didn't make the date.
But I think we can do it very quickly.
We would have never done it if this didn't happen.
Never.
It would have never been, it would only get worse and worse, and ultimately it would have exploded.
This country was headed down a very bad track, and the whole DEI thing, that was uh that was a trap.
That was a sick trap.
Yeah, and you know, we've destroyed that.
That's gone.
That's pretty much gone.
I agree.
We're not funding it.
I really want to I really want to emphasize to people that this is a very important point.
If we don't solve the deficit, there won't be money for medical care.
There won't be money for Social Security.
We either solve the deficit, or all we'll be doing is paying debt.
Nobody's it's it's gotta be solved, or there's no medical care, there's no social securities, no nothing.
It's gotta be solved.
It's not optional.
America will go bankrupt if this is not done.
That's why I'm here.
The president of Europe takes advantage of this.
And I'd like to also just send a message to like because as the president said, like there's there's a lot a lot of rich people out there.
Uh they should be caring more about the country.
Because the reason they should be caring about more about countries, if America falls, what do you think is gonna happen to your business?
What do you what do you think?
Do you think are we gonna be okay if the ship of America sinks?
Of course not.
Like what what what what I'm doing here, what the president's doing is it's just long-term thinking.
The ship of America must be strong.
So America cannot sink.
If it sinks, we all sink with it.
This is what drives you.
This is important.
It says tech support.
So you're not trying to be president as the media suggests.
You are really here because your heart and your passion is this.
And the president described you as being this is the biggest thing you've ever done.
Now you're trying to bring sites.
There could be nothing bigger.
You're sending ships up to Mars, uh, you know, spaceships up in the sky all the time, and astronauts, that's pretty big.
Peanuts compared to peanuts.
You agree with that?
Well, it's essential that America be healthy, that America's economy be strong.
Um, and and if if that if basically it's like my my concern is like if America is the central pillar holding up Western civilization.
That pillar must be strong.
If that pillar falls, the whole roof comes crashing down.
Including his no place to hide.
Including his place to run.
Nothing.
There's nothing left.
Why, if this is your goal, your motivation, you're losing money in the process, you're offering you do all these nice things for people for free, you're trying to solve, you know, blindness, you're gonna rescue astronauts, you help the people of North Carolina, California.
You're cutting money that was sent abroad that's not helping the American people, but why the race is.
And hurting people overseas.
Why this rage against you now?
First they hated him, now they hate both of you.
Well, I think we're seeing an antibody reaction from uh from those who are receiving the the wasteful and fraudulent money.
They're being exposed.
Yes.
Nobody wants to be exposed.
I'll tell you a lesson I learned at PayPal.
You know who complained the loudest?
Uh the quickest and the loudest and with the most amount of righteous indignation?
The fraudsters.
That's who complained first, loudest, and they would generally have this immense overreaction.
That's how we knew there were the forces.
That's how we knew.
What I I've never I've never met you before today.
And it's nice to meet you, by the way.
Then thank you for doing this.
You guys are really friends.
I could you guys I could see you kicking up your shit.
Well, he doesn't do this kind of thing.
And the way I figured that you'd get to know him is if I did it with him.
I said, come on, let's do it together.
He doesn't do this.
I think he's smart in not doing it overall, because you know, I mean he's done very well without doing it.
But he doesn't feel it's really worthwhile.
He he wants the product to speak for itself or whatever he does speak for itself, but he views it as you know, does it matter?
And I'm doing this with you today because I wanted to have people understand him.
And I think it's very important.
I disagree with him with that.
I think it's very important that they do understand him.
Uh he doesn't need this.
He doesn't need it.
Now I happen to think it's made him very popular.
I think it's he's more popular now because there are so many people.
You know, you're talking about the radical left.
They have the lowest ratings.
MS NBC is dying, CNN is dying, uh, they're all dying.
The New York Times is doing lousy, the Washington Post is doing horribly.
They're all doing badly because people don't buy it anymore.
But I think it was important that he do this one interview.
You've been a very fair guy.
I think you were the right guy to do it.
If we could get some radical left guy and he'd do just as well, frankly, because it's it's all about common sense.
They would attack him as being uh unconstitutional.
Sure, to me, this was fascist.
It was important for people to understand.
He's doing a big job.
He's doing a very thankless job.
It's really a thankless job.
But he's helping us to save our country.
Our country was in serious trouble, and I had to get the best guy, somebody with credibility, because if he were just a regular good, very good solid businessman, he wouldn't have the credibility.
He's got the best credibility for this.
And people also know he's an honest guy.
He's an honest guy.
He's just a very, very smart guy who's done amazing things.
And this will be the biggest thing he's ever done.
Because you know, his companies are all great, but if this country goes bad, I guess where he is a little selfish is this.
He knows one thing and probably doesn't think.
But if his if this country goes bad, his stuff is not going to be worth very much, I can tell you.
Like I said, if the sh if the Shop of America sinks, we're all about going down with it.
You know, this idea that people can escape to New Zealand or some other place is false.
Um if the central pillar of Western civilization, that is America falls, the whole roof comes crashing down and there is no escape.
Do you anticipate you'll be here four years?
My last question.
Um I'll I'll be as helpful as long as I can be helpful.
Yeah.
That's a good question.
I mean, I was thinking about that just now.
And I wonder how long he's gonna be doing it.
You can't get somebody like this.
He cares, and he's brilliant, and he's got energy.
You need energy also, in addition to those other things.
You know, I have a lot of guys that are very smart, but they have no energy, they want to sleep all day long.
Uh you need a lot of energy, he's got a lot of energy.
He's doing a great job.
If there's any conflict, he he will stop it.
But if he didn't, I'd stop it.
I'd see if there's a conflict.
I mean, we're talking about big stuff.
But he's under a pretty big microscope.
I mean, everybody's watching him.
If there's a conflict, you're gonna be reading about it within about two minutes after the conflict.
Exactly.
There's the possibility of me getting away with something is zero percent.
Zero point zero.
Yeah.
Uh I I've scrutinized to a ridiculous degree.
Uh and and the other thing is that we're, you know, what what's you know what's better than saying trust trust me?
It's just full transparency.
So what we're doing with with the Doge, Dog, just go to Dodge.gov.
You can see every single action that's been taken.
And and I and I want to be clear, we're all gonna make some mistakes.
We're not gonna be perfect.
Nobody bats a thousand, but we're gonna fix the mistakes very quickly.
That's what matters.
Not that You don't make mistakes, but they fix the mistakes very fast.
All right, anyway, if you want the the full interview on edited, un interrupted, you can get it on Hannity.com.
We got it up on X. We've got it on FoxNation.com.
We're putting it everywhere and um and thank all of you.
It was such a great experience.
I will tell you that.
I just hate what they're doing to a guy that is volunteering and and foregoing lots of money and taking abuse for it, and all he's trying to do is help us help the country.
It's just so disgusting.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll hit the phones.
800 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
I did you ever wonder if how it's possible that we pay more per capita per student than any other industrialized country with the worst results?
This came up in my interview with Elon Musk and President Trump and his desire to you know change how we do education in this country and and block granting or vouchers or you know all the different ways to innovative ideas to better spend money on our kids in school.
And anyway, it's gonna happen.
Uh, but it is it is another national travesty.
This unholy alliance between teachers unions and democrats has to be broken.
When we come back on the other side, we're gonna debate that.

Joni in Long Island, New York, my former hometown.
How are you, Joni?
What's going on?
Sean, how are you?
Where in Long Island are you?
Where are you?
Massapequa.
Oh my gosh, I have so many friends from uh Massa Victor.
So what's on your mind today?
Glad you called.
I do miss friends in Long Island.
And uh uh I love my friends.
They're all saying the same thing, though.
They're getting the hell out.
Yeah, I don't blame you.
I don't blame you.
Um though Bruce Blakeman's doing a good job.
You're in Nassau County, right?
Nassau County, yeah.
Yeah.
He's doing a great job.
He is I'm well, I'm happy, but still things I I wish were better.
But you know.
Um great show with Elon and Trump.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
But I'm actually calling for a favor.
What do you need?
Your pen.
All right.
Linda put you up to this.
Don't lie.
Yeah, Linda put you up to this because I click it a lot.
No, I I I watch you faithfully every night.
And I'm like, oh my God.
If if I can go there and rip that pen out of his hand, I would myself.
She goes, You could actually tell him.
All right.
I will I will try and take your request.
And but I do not have to make a few.
And we just all want you to retire him.
You know, we had enough of combs.
We had enough.
I know Linda, you I know you put her up to this.
But but I definitely think I'll put her up to this.
Let me tell you something.
She's a strong line woman.
She don't need me.
Uh huh.
Got it.
But it is now, Sean, to be honest with you.
It's it's like when I watch and you have an interview and someone else is talking, I'm actually he had the click, and I'm like, I'm I I get anxious when I rip the pen out of your hand.
Well, I'll tell you what, you know, uh the the last thing I want to do is irritate my audience.
Irritating Linda's a whole different ball game.
I like irritating her.
Why don't you tell her what we gave you as a gift when we were there for the inauguration?
Well, I I don't have it.
I don't know where it is, but I'm going to get a non-clicky pen.
I don't under I don't even know I'm doing it, to be very honest with you.
It just I know that.
I know you don't.
And I I don't know if it's a nervous habit, it's just a security, you have the pen in your hand, which is fine.
Just change the pen.
Don't get a clicker.
All right.
Linda's gonna send me a novel idea, huh?
Sean.
Linda is gonna send me a hundred non clicky pens, and when you see it, and if you can get a decent color this time, instead of the disgusting pinky.
Oh, you didn't like lavender?
I thought lavender was a color.
Lavender's not my color, no.
No.
Um, all right, I will stop.
But I'm uh I I hope you like the interview in spite of that.
It was fantastic.
And it's not just I didn't really didn't hear it during that interview, but it's on a regular basis on on the show.
But awesome, awesome interview.
And I hope a lot of people who you know were on the fence and more ensure that they watched it because it was very educational and just to see because I really truly feel they are there for us.
And I never had that feeling before from anyone, any any political figure.
So I loved it.
They are supposed to be public servants, right?
Exactly.
They're supposed to serve us.
And what what Doge is has exposed, I keep saying it shocks the conscience.
Every American should be angry and frustrated.
And and really it's just at a level that we never thought would happen.
But um, Joni Long Island, and I'm not making fun of you because I grew up there, but uh God bless you.
And yes, Linda will send me a hundred non-clicky pens, and I'll be able to do that.
And I'm sure you will lose ninety-nine of them just by accident.
Well, then you can get me another hundred, but I will throw out all the clicky ones and in your honor, only because you asked, although I think you will put up to it.
But that's a different story.
Thank you, Joni.
