When Senator Schumer was the majority leader, he led efforts to avoid a government shutdown. Now, as he serves in the role of Minority Leader, he's ready to shut it down... but not all Democrats agree! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

| To your sentiment. | |
| Sean Hannity Sean Hannity Show. | |
| More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. | |
| All right. | |
| Thank you, Scott Shannon. | |
| Thanks to all of you for being with us. | |
| Write down our toll-free telephone number. | |
| We'd love to hear from you today. | |
| We're going to point out a lot of liberal hypocrisy. | |
| We are officially on the clock. | |
| Schumer shutdown watch is officially underway. | |
| Hopefully, the uh minor hydraulic issue delay in the launch to rescue these two astronauts. | |
| Uh, hopefully that'll happen by the end of the week as well. | |
| We're ready to bring these astronauts home, and hopefully we pray safely. | |
| We are on uh official watch for peace and the possibility of peace in Europe. | |
| Um we know as of this morning, the Russian foreign minister, their spokeswoman, uh said that Russia was ready to talk to the U.S. about a peace initiative discussed between the U.S. and Ukraine, and contacts could take place as soon as today. | |
| My understanding is Steve Whitkov is, if he's not there on his way to Russia right now to have those conversations directly with Vladimir Putin. | |
| And after talks with top U.S. diplomats in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine is ready to accept a 30-day ceasefire, and the United States said it was putting the proposal to Moscow and they were bringing it there. | |
| Um quote, we're ready to discuss the initiative set out uh there in future uh contacts with the U.S. Such contacts are already possible as early as today. | |
| The Kremlin said earlier that U.S. negotiators were flying to Russia. | |
| It said the Kremlin uh foreign policy advisor and U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz had spoken by phone on Wednesday. | |
| I know that Secretary of State Rubio is also actively involved himself in all of this as we speak. | |
| Um the Russian president Vladimir Putin himself said today that he was open to a ceasefire in the Ukrainian war, provided that a ceasefire led to a permanent end to the conflict. | |
| And we agree with the propositions to stop hostilities. | |
| Let me proceed from the fact that a ceasefire should be such that would lead to a permanent peace, remove the initial original causes of the crisis, which I would argue would be him, but that's separate and apart from what he's talking about. | |
| Uh anyway, as translated by state media, uh Putin did not comment on the immediate ceasefire, but merely agreed to one in principle, should it include specific provisions. | |
| He now himself is negotiating. | |
| The Washington Times laid out a list of major caveats that come with Putin's conditions. | |
| If he were to support this 30-day ceasefire, it would on their end. | |
| Again, this is all negotiation. | |
| I mean, you got to understand, just like the tariff thing, it's all negotiation. | |
| Just like when Zelensky and the meeting in the White House blew up, that was all a negotiation in the end. | |
| It was the beginning of a negotiation, and it ended well. | |
| And I hope this ends well too. | |
| But anyway, so in remarks Thursday, Putin said before Russia would agree to the deal already endorsed by Kiev and President Zelensky that negotiations must address the presence of UK Ukrainian troops still inside Russia's Kursk border region and possibly and the possibility of continued armed shipments to Ukraine and whether the pause in fighting will genuinely lead to a permanent peace acceptable to the Kremlin. | |
| The idea itself is the right one. | |
| We want and we do support it, but there are questions that we need to discuss, and I think we need to talk them through with our American colleagues and partners. | |
| And Mr. Trump for the president met uh with the NATO Secretary General in Washington uh at the White House today, telling reporters that Putin's response was promising, but it wasn't complete. | |
| He said Putin put out a promising statement. | |
| It's not complete, and he's willing to talk to the Russian president to help secure this ceasefire. | |
| Hopefully, Russia will do the right thing, said the president. | |
| Uh one other note on this. | |
| NATO uh Secretary General uh Stalinberg praised President Trump for pushing countries in the alliance to boost their defense spending, an issue that has driven a wedge between Trump and Europe. | |
| And let me thank you for your leadership uh that you show on the issue of defense spending because it's very important that we all contribute to our shared security, and it's really having an impact because, as you said, allies are now spending more on defense. | |
| And, you know, this goes to the issue of Canada. | |
| Canada, you know, only pays a small portion of what their contribution should be to NATO versus other countries. | |
| The European Union has similar problems, and they have the tariff issue that they put on American dairy products in particular at Hurts Dairy Farmers and states like Wisconsin and elsewhere and people in Michigan. | |
| So we're hopeful. | |
| Um apparently it's not going very well, the podcast of Michelle Obama, and I would imagine that this had a pretty heavy, you know, first take tune-in um curiosity to it. | |
| And if they drew less than 20,000 viewers on streaming platforms after nearly what after almost what, 20 hours, the first three episodes didn't mat three episodes didn't manage to clear 20,000 views on YouTube, and that kind of anemic audience level is usually a disastrous start for a former first lady who the left believes is a beloved figure. | |
| Apparently, a lot of complaining in there as it relates to uh Barack Obama as well. | |
| Um let me get to the Schumer shutdown, because it was announced yesterday by Chucky that um that the most Democrats in the Senate will not support the House passed bill to continue to fund the government. | |
| Now let's backtrack here. | |
| Chuck Schumer has failed at a spectacular level. | |
| Chuck Schumer has had opportunity after opportunity after opportunity. | |
| You know, they're supposed to pass appropriations bills, 12 of them to be exact, before the beginning of the fiscal year. | |
| The fiscal year in government begins on October the first. | |
| The fiscal year therefore ends on September the 30th. | |
| Hence some of these buyouts will go through September the 30th. | |
| And Chuck announced that most Democrats in the upper chamber will not support the House Republican bill. | |
| And that means that a government shutdown is now looming, and that that would happen. | |
| Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, she he's claiming. | |
| No, it doesn't have to be. | |
| Uh it's your government. | |
| This is what you appropriated. | |
| This is the Biden budget, and Republicans uh are planning to hopefully start implementing the Trump economic uh agenda, and that would begin through the reconciliation process. | |
| But the first order of business would be to keep the government open. | |
| And so Schumer really doesn't have a leg to stand on. | |
| Now we can uh play, you know, Schumer. | |
| He says that they're not going to invoke closure. | |
| But let me let's let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? | |
| And Chuck Schumer about government shutdowns and how bad they are. | |
| This is Chuck Schumer when he thinks he can blame Republicans for a government shutdown. | |
| I would say to the leader very simply, you may disagree with us. | |
| Open the government. | |
| Open the government. | |
| You can do it, Leader McConnell. | |
| And all your blaming and flailing isn't going to open the government. | |
| It's sort of like this. | |
| Uh someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage, and then says, Let's negotiate over the price of your house. | |
| You know, we could do the same thing on immigration. | |
| We could we believe strongly in immigration reform. | |
| We could say we're shutting down the government, we're not going to raise the debt ceiling until you pass immigration reform. | |
| It would be governmental chaos. | |
| I don't know if they can pass the three-week bill. | |
| We would much prefer they do a full funding bill, but we're not going to shut the government down. | |
| But let me just say two things. | |
| So does that mean support the three-week uh extension? | |
| Yes. | |
| Yeah, we're not going to shut the government down. | |
| But to keep doing this time and time and time again, it hurts our homeland security, even doing these short-term extensions. | |
| The bad news is that the motion to proceed so that we could pay our bills failed. | |
| Because it didn't get the 60 votes, it didn't get the bipartisan support that we had hoped. | |
| Why must we hold millions of Americans who depend on the services of these agencies that are closed? | |
| Hundreds of thousands of workers who get paid by these agencies. | |
| Why must we hold them hostage? | |
| Why must a temper tantrum determine how we vote and what happens in this government? | |
| Everyone can shut down the government on anything. | |
| Any leader, any president. | |
| That's not the way to do things. | |
| Not the way to do things. | |
| Did I hear that correctly? | |
| Not the way to do things. | |
| And, you know, we're going to hold millions of Americans hostage, hundreds of thousands of workers hostage. | |
| Um, and all the blaming and flailing and hostage holding of government workers. | |
| That's Chuck Schumer. | |
| That's what Chuck Schumer. | |
| Now we have Schumer committed to shutting down the government. | |
| This will be the Schumer shutdown. | |
| This will be on his watch. | |
| This will be because of him and because he is now beholden to the radical Democrats that run his party. | |
| And the only Democrat that was making any sense and warning Senate Democrats that the shutdown could hurt the economy was John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. | |
| Listen, if you shut it down, you will impact and heart millions and millions and millions of Americans. | |
| And you run the risk of slipping us into a recession or even all kinds of other things. | |
| Oh, at least there's one reasonable Democrat. | |
| Now, let's go back to what a lot of this is all about. | |
| Democrats, they want to negotiate because they don't want to cut the hundreds of billions of dollars that are now being identified as waste, fraud, abuse and corruption. | |
| Monies that they have been spending abroad, deceit that is at a high level. | |
| They never labeled how this money was being spent. | |
| Average American pay that makes sixty-six thousand dollars a year has been forced to pay their taxes, and this is how they spend their money. | |
| And the fact that they've been so w willing to uh to basically steal from our children and grandchildren and future generations. | |
| Because that wasn't the Chuck Schumer of old. | |
| This is the new radicalized new Green Deal, DEI, woke, transgender, uh, and LGBTQ abroad spending party. | |
| This is the party that won't stand for the first lady or the president. | |
| This is the party that won't stand for mothers that lost their children. | |
| This is the party that won't clap for a young man that survived cancer or for the wife of a slain officer or for a young man who lost his father who got into West Point. | |
| This is the party of bingo cards. | |
| Is it the party of stunts? | |
| And this is the party, and this is the people of the party that Chuck must cater to. | |
| Because the old Chuck Schumer actually sounded a lot like Bill Clinton sounded, and Al Gore sounded, and even Barack Obama sounded when they would often talk about eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, but none of them ever got it done. | |
| Here's Schumer from Years Gone By. | |
| If we're going to eliminate the waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare, it does mean we're going to cut some of that out. | |
| And when I hear my friend Dave Camp say you cannot cut money out of Medicare, well, we don't want to cut the good stuff that you point out. | |
| One-third of Medicare doesn't go to patient care. | |
| You can't just get up there and say, we don't want to cut anything out of Medicare. | |
| We want to cut the bad stuff and keep the good stuff. | |
| Sounds exactly like Elon Musk, President Trump, and the Republican Party. | |
| And now the question is, what happened to Chuck Schumer? | |
| And the question is, we know. | |
| And here's more Democrats warning about the consequences of a government shutdown. | |
| We believe in governance. | |
| We want to keep governments open. | |
| A shutdown is very serious. | |
| There are real consequences when the government shuts down. | |
| It harms our national security. | |
| It harms our economy, and it harms service members, veterans, retirees, and vulnerable communities. | |
| We all know a shutdown is unnecessary and completely avoidable. | |
| The tragedy here is all the civilian employees. | |
| It is the American people who are going to suffer. | |
| Border Patrol agents will not be paid. | |
| TSA agents will not be paid. | |
| Small businesses will be hurt. | |
| Not only is it irresponsible and purposely misleading, it is dangerous precedent to be threatening a shutdown. | |
| I'm worried about our air controllers, those in the military. | |
| We have over almost 40,000 in the military as well as personnel who work in the military, and uh they won't have checks. | |
| Uh I mean, this is this is real. | |
| They're real people's lives at stake. | |
| It is not normal to hold 800,000 workers' paychecks hostage. | |
| It is not normal to shut down the government when we don't get what we want. | |
| Our troops deserve better. | |
| Our children deserve better. | |
| And the American people deserve better. | |
| These chaos agents, they don't have a plan B. They just want to see everything burn. | |
| Shutdown is really an extremist uh policy designed to appeal to an extremist base and hold the whole country hostage. | |
| So this shutdown, you know who's gonna feel the pay? | |
| You know who it hurts? | |
| You extremist policy appealing to an extremist base. | |
| Never thought I'd quote Jerry Nadler on this program, but he kind of has it right. | |
| I'm actually consistent on government shutdowns. | |
| I don't worry about them that much. | |
| And there's certain points where you gotta take a stand. | |
| And uh now the Republicans just have to hold the line and let the Schumer shut down unfold and not give in. | |
| And let him shut it down, and he will own it. | |
| All right, we have a lot of ground to cover. | |
| Uh, this uh student at Columbia with his pro Hamas positions, a designated state of terror, is uh likely to be deported, and uh Trump Tower, of course, had a bunch of protesters today. | |
| We'll get to that with Greg Jarrett on the law of regarding that. | |
| We'll introduce you today to Laurel Libby. | |
| She got a censure in Maine for daring to stand up for women and not have men and women's sports, which is now a big democratic position, and also Senator Rampall on this uh continuing resolution and of course reconciliation. | |

| Um, so we have a lot going on. | |
| One of the other things that we're watching, we're watching the economy and you know the ups and downs of the economy. | |
| And, you know, all the while, as I pointed out yesterday, is we now have eggs at the lowest level that they have been at. | |
| Uh uh actually lower than when Donald Trump became president. | |
| Okay, so shoppers are finally beginning to get some relief in the egg aisle. | |
| And I know because I only eat eggs and meat that the prices had gone up pretty significantly. | |
| If you could even find them, there was a couple of weeks, you know, I had to struggle to find the eggs that I like to eat. | |
| But anyway, egg prices are now down a whopping 16% in a significant amount. | |
| And uh prices for large white eggs dropped a buck twenty. | |
| Uh it's about six eighty-five uh a dozen as of Friday. | |
| Uh good. | |
| I'm not gonna have to get chickens and put them in my backyard. | |
| I'll probably be breaking some law. | |
| I don't know what. | |
| I'm not sure my my townhouse is designed for chickens. | |
| Um I don't know, you think my neighbors would mind, Linda? | |
| I don't think they'd mind. | |
| I mean, I have them. | |
| I don't know. | |
| You have you have chickens? | |
| I do. | |
| How many chickens do you have? | |
| I have four. | |
| And how many eggs a day do you get from your chickens? | |
| It depends. | |
| We probably get about, you know, a dozen every few days. | |
| Really? | |
| And do you eat that many eggs at home? | |
| Yeah, and the kids love them. | |
| Yeah, that's awesome. | |
| And are they as good as are they better than store body? | |
| I mean, I think they're probably better than store-bought. | |
| It depends on the eggs that you buy, but yeah. | |
| They're organic, I would imagine in every way, right? | |
| Well, yeah, I'm not giving my chickens anything weird, you know, other than feed. | |
| So they get pretty healthy. | |
| No, knowing you, you might be feeding them kale, which is not good for the suggestive system. | |
| You know, they're refined chickens, so I'm getting refined eggs. | |
| They're refined, refined chickens. | |
| Uh, have you ever thought about maybe sacrificing one of the chickens and making a royal chicken out of it? | |
| Only if there's an apocalypse. | |
| Otherwise, you know, they all got names and we're good to go. | |
| Oh, they got names like family pets. | |
| Now you're not going to treat the chickens the way you treated your cat, which grew to four times its normal size. | |
| Listen, fat chickens are good, man. | |
| They lay more eggs. | |
| Okay. | |
| So you are overfeeding your your chickens. | |
| Well, your cat. | |
| It's a very different thing. | |
| It's like peck, peck, peck, peck. | |
| I mean, really, how much can you do? | |
| No, I want you to put a picture of of the cat that had to go to the the uh that frankly needs Ozempic. | |
| Do they have a cat exactly? | |
| First of all, nobody needs Ozempic. | |
| Second of all, my cat was just more. | |
| There actually are people I know that have lost a hundred pounds on Ozempic. | |
| I know. | |
| I I know people too, but just makes me nervous. | |
| There's a lot of side effects, and I think, you know, to Kennedy's point, Secretary Kennedy's point, there are healthier weights. | |
| That's the first line of defense. | |
| Okay. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Well said. | |
| Not the first line of defense, exactly. | |
| It's not the first line of defense, but if obesity is one of the best things you can do for your health is lose weight, and if you can't if you have that much to lose and it's good for your A1C, which I think it it that's been pretty well proven. | |
| Um and it's a apparently when I I've talked to people that have used it, and what they've told me is you look at food and you're like, you want to vomit. | |
| You don't want to eat it. | |
| Right. | |
| It totally takes away the urge. | |
| And I that's an amazing thing. | |
| And I think under the guidance of a medical professional, it's probably okay. | |
| I am not a medical professional. | |
| If I want to lose weight, I hop on the Peloton. | |
| That's my world. | |
| Okay. | |
| The bottom line is you you just monitor what you look, one thing I do is I usually eat two meals a day. | |
| I don't eat three meals a day. | |
| I don't know where this three meal a day came from. | |
| Or you eat those six micro meals, you know. | |
| No, that's a way, and and certainly intermittent fasting is not a bad idea if you can pull it off. | |
| But that's not for everybody. | |
| Like I like it, but then I have friends that can't do it. | |
| Okay. | |
| Sixteen, uh they say the ideal is sixteen hours. | |
| Gary Breco says anywhere between twelve and sixteen hours. | |
| It depends on your age. | |
| It's like fourteen, ten, sixteen, eight. | |
| It's all different things. | |
| Did you see the list of how many push-ups you should be able to do? | |
| Um for example, if whatever your age is, they would have me doing like three push-ups a day. | |
| It's so ridiculous. | |
| Really? | |
| I've never seen that. | |
| Where's that? | |
| There are plenty I had to do hundreds. | |
| I did what did I do? | |
| But where is the list? | |
| Who made up that list? | |
| Oh, all right, Google it now while we're talking. | |
| So they came up with a list how many push-ups you should do at whatever age. | |
| And then I think of all the I do a lot of core and a lot of push-ups, a lot of setups every single day. | |
| And I do hundreds of sit-ups, depending on the day, depending on what what the plan is, along with my mixed martial arts, along with you know, riding my bike, along with, you know, all the other things that I do to stay as fit as I can. | |
| I'm not perfect. | |
| I got a lot of improvement to make. | |
| And boy, I got yelled at by Gillian Michaels recently. | |
| I mean, just raked over the coals. | |
| I felt like I was on the biggest loser. | |
| Listen, she's on tomorrow. | |
| I'll make sure she does it again live on-air. | |
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| I can't handle it. | |
| It's too much pressure. | |
| I mean, she went she came down hard on me. | |
| Big time. | |
| Um anyway, so five. | |
| So take a look at like what people, you know, 20 to 30, 30 to 40, 40 to 50, 50 to 60, 60 to 7. | |
| How many push-ups they should they should be doing? | |
| People in their 30s should be able to do at least 19 for women, 21 for men. | |
| People in their four twenty-one. | |
| People in their 40s should be able to do at least 14 if you're a woman, 16 if you're a man, and people in their 50s should be able to do at least 10 for women and 12 for men, people in their 60s for both genders. | |
| I guess we become even then, should be able to do at least 10. | |
| At least 10. | |
| Okay. | |
| On the easiest push-up day I have, I must do my age at 63. | |
| And that's what I do every single day. | |
| That's a minimum. | |
| But like yesterday, you know, we did, let's see, you know, 40 incline, 40 decline, 40 regular push-ups, and then we did 30 crossover push-ups, crossover, do a push-up, crossover, do a push up, crossover, do a push up. | |
| And when you do it that way, it's pretty hard. | |
| And then that's a minimum. | |
| Then there are days I'm trying, I just don't remember the actual number. | |
| I think it's I'm given I think I'm given four minutes, but I usually do it in a little over three minutes. | |
| It's either 150 or 200 push-ups. | |
| I think it's 150. | |
| I'm just I'm just trying to get it right. | |
| I just don't remember. | |
| That's another one. | |
| Fox and Friends did a show. | |
| Ainsley is actually organizing. | |
| I saw that. | |
| Yeah, and LJ and Brian, you know. | |
| At a contest. | |
| Yes. | |
| And LJ does a much better push-up than Brian by a long shot. | |
| Well, and now they have people submitting the videos of themselves doing push-ups. | |
| And they're gonna and they're showing them on the air. | |
| Well, I should show my I should take a video. | |
| You should do it live on set. | |
| Oh, just get down and do my push-ups. | |
| That's it, man. | |
| Um then we can start the push-up challenge on Hannity.com. | |
| How many do you think you could do? | |
| Oh, God, I don't know. | |
| Ten. | |
| All right, I'll tell you what. | |
| Why don't you videotape it and we'll put it at the end of this half hour and we'll upload it right away on Hannity.com. | |
| Absolutely not. | |
| Have you seen the carpet in the studio? | |
| I am not putting my face anywhere near it. | |
| Well, just get a couple of napkins and no, no, no. | |
| Oh, so you're afraid to do it. | |
| That's what I'm saying. | |
| I am afraid of the carpet, yes. | |
| I am afraid, and I will admit that willingly. | |
| That is ridiculous. | |
| It is ridiculous. | |
| Anyway, inflation is down significantly. | |
| I I know the markets are skittish. | |
| I know they're free everyone's freaking out. | |
| It's sort of like they were how they were freaking out over Zelinski in the meeting in the Oval Office, and I kept saying they'll be back. | |
| I'm telling you, this issue of tariffs is going to be resolved. | |
| You know, the EU is planning to impose a 50% tariff on American whiskey. | |
| Good luck with that. | |
| You know, the problem is, you know, like Germany sells eight German cars to our one car in Germany because of their 10% uh tariff and then their their value added tax or national sales tax, which makes it financially impossible. | |
| And if you we sell X number of dairy products, various dairy products, eggs, cheese, whatever, uh poultry products to Canada, you know, after you sell a certain amount at a 5% tariff rate, then they go to 250%. | |
| And it's not free and fair trade. | |
| And you know, the fact that the markets don't understand that Donald Trump is in the middle of a negotiation here is kind of hard to comprehend that they have no curiosity about what the thinking of Donald Trump is in this. | |
| The thinking is to get them to the table and to either choose free or fair trade or reciprocal tariffs. | |
| And that's what it is. | |
| Uh I mean, Howard Lutnik actually said, and he was very clear about this. | |
| He said, Why doesn't Canada say thank you for all that we do for Canada? | |
| We do a lot for Canada. | |
| We like our friends in the North, and I like that the president messes with them constantly about being the 51st state. | |
| I'm not sure I want them to be the 51st state, although he's not wrong that it would be one big massive, beautiful country. | |
| And I think uh it would be it's interesting to think out of the box. | |
| I think Greenland would be smart to align with us over um, you know, the uh what is it, Denmark? | |
| I think I think they'd get a better deal from us. | |
| Uh anyway, the new republic, the FBI is preparing to charge major climate groups with a conspiracy to defraud the United States, newer Republic, Trump administration targeting climate organizations that receive a Biden era grant, Citibank revealed in a court filing Wednesday that it was told to freeze the bank accounts of several environmental groups at the request of the FBI. | |
| Why the FBI alleges the groups are involved in a possible impossible criminal violations, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Why do I believe at the end of all of this all of this accounting analysis we are going to find corruption at a at a level we've never seen before? | |
| Now, on the issue of tariffs, let me go back to this point. | |
| And and when I now that I've like I never really paid attention. | |
| I've always been pro-choice when it comes to what people should be able to drive. | |
| I thought it was so stupid to try to force companies like Ford to produce cars that their customers don't want and invest in money. | |
| They didn't want to be in the electric car business. | |
| You know, now that I've I've done such a deep dive, and what we're going to announce on Monday how you can win a free Tesla on this show that I am going to buy for the winner. | |
| Um, and I'm I've now that I've got I'm getting my own. | |
| It's the most American-made car in the country. | |
| And after all the the attacks on Elon Musk and the viciousness directed towards this guy for no reason at all. | |
| He's been very altruistic. | |
| He's doing this for free. | |
| He's identifying waste fraud and abuse, and his only crime is he's doing that and exposing corruption, and he supports Donald Trump. | |
| He's gonna rescue astronauts. | |
| He helps people out in North Carolina that have no communications abilities with Starlink. | |
| You know, he's he's building out robotic uh technology that probably in time the average middle class family will be able to afford. | |
| These Tesla the one I got literally goes from zero to sixty and zero in two point zero seconds. | |
| It's got over a thousand horsepower. | |
| It's self-driving, and it's again the most America-made car in all of this country of all the car makers. | |
| Now, President Trump just saved the American auto industry nearly three quarters of a trillion dollars, 700 billion. | |
| How did he do it? | |
| Because the EPA began the process as of yesterday, rescinding the vehicle fuel efficiency standards that Republicans have called a de facto electric vehicle mandate. | |
| And you know, stop putting all these burdens. | |
| These are taxes on the American people. | |
| Estimated regulatory compliance cost of the current rules comes to 700 billion dollars. | |
| Well, that's a tax on everybody that buys a car because they're gonna pass that cost on to all of us. | |
| I love the fact that you know I'm gonna get my new Tesla, by the way, next week. | |
| I ordered it. | |
| Isn't that pretty exciting? | |
| I'm I I can't believe this thing is like a rocket ship. | |
| You know what you should do? | |
| I have a great idea. | |
| And it's definitely some levity in in this land of insanity. | |
| Have you and the president get in your you know respective Teslas? | |
| And you race. | |
| Take to the track and race the president. | |
| I think it would be amazing. | |
| Go to like Daytona or something. | |
| Do you want to make that request of him? | |
| Because I'm not making that request for him. | |
| Sure. | |
| You know, you just give me a cell phone, I'll give him a quick call, Mr. President. | |
| But if you notice when he said he was buying the Tesla, and I was glad to see that he he's helping Elon out. | |
| I uh listen, there are things that people can do. | |
| I mean, a lot of people can't afford a new car right now. | |
| And I I I remember when I had to buy my $200, you know, Ford O'Connelline van, and then I one point I bought for $1,500 a Dodge uh uh truck, and at another point I bought a uh purchased a $350 Ford Maverick, and I had a 1974 AMC Hornet, which was a piece of garbage, and I I painted most of those cars and trucks myself and damaged my lungs doing it with a paint called Imeron. | |
| Um but and I would repair them myself myself. | |
| I love but I uh people can't afford, but maybe they can get Starlink. | |
| Starlink is awesome. | |
| As you know, I I have it uh at my house. | |
| I love it. | |
| You have it at your house. | |
| Great. | |
| You know, there are things that Elon is doing that you know, it just I don't know. | |
| I just they're shooting up his they're they're threatening his life, they're shooting up his dealerships, you know, they're committing acts of terrorism on his charging stations. | |
| Tell me what the guy's done to deserve that level of hatred and threat level. | |
| Nothing. | |
| It's just so wrong. | |
| And now the people that will suffer will be the people that work for him in the dealerships. | |
| The people that will suffer are gonna be the people that manufacture these cars. | |
| And then uh I want to stand up for them. | |
| I know it's not I'm no I'm one person. | |
| That's why, but I'm buying two cars and I'm giving one away. | |
| I want somebody in this audience to have the experience that I'm gonna have. | |
| And we will uh start the contest on Monday. | |
