Laughing at Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
They could shove the ass up of a giant sitting Ken doll and make him mouth the most insane platitudes, right?
And they're also kind of comedians in that way, too.
I think this is why this ties in, is that the talking heads on the media are inviting everyone to laugh at the foolishness of Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
3. Staggeringly competent men, with great and deep passion willing to swim against the grain and with massive success outside of politics.
It is very cool that there are awesome entrepreneurs in Trump's cabinet.
Thank you.
Vivek is open-hearted, like I remember he was getting attacked by some woman on welfare, and he's like, no, let her speak, bring her in, bring her in, right?
They think because people fall down that they have failed, people who never stand up to begin with.
You know, like this cynical friend that I knew used to enjoy taking and developing photographs.
Thank you.
And remember, he took a photograph of a really sad-looking old man sitting on a bench in the Eaton Center.
And he had it up on his wall, you know, to Saul, thanks for all the memories in Las Vegas.
He put some really cynical thing with this really, you know, I mean, the guy, maybe his wife had just died and he was shopping for a wreath.
It was just, you know, really hollow-eyed, very sad guy, very old guy.
You know, like young people look at old people like they're failures, and old people are successful because they're still alive.
You look at some old guy tottering and it's like, "Oh my God, that guy's like weak." And it's like, "No, no, no, he's really strong because the weaker people are all dead already." Tips welcome, of course.

What if it was the McDonald's stunt that put him over the top?
No, it wasn't that.
It wasn't that.
It wasn't that.
So, let's just say that everyone's right and the Department of Government Efficiency has no money, no mandate, no budget, no authority.
Okay, there was two redundancies, but we'll survive.
How is it going to happen?
How is it going to happen?
You should watch my presentation on George Washington, The Truth About George Washington.
That was Stoyan's presentation.
It was very good.
I mean, I'm responsible because I did the final review, but I mean, I can tell you how I think it's going to happen.
I am, of course, far from a 1% as brilliant at promotion and marketing as certainly Trump and Elon Musk.
I mean, I can tell you how it's going to happen.
Even I can tell you, and they're infinitely more skilled at these things than I am, but even I can tell you how it's going to happen, even if they have no budget, no mandate, no nothing.
How's it going to happen?
They're going to publicize!
They're going to list off all of the waste.
They're going to list off all of the uselessness.
They're going to list off all of this stuff.
They're going to rouse popular sentiment.
And the politicians who always have their ears to the ground of the thundering masses are going to be like, wow, people are really pissed off at this government spending.
If I want to get re-elected, I better fix this.
It's not complicated.
They're going to pull incredible visual stunts.
They're going to buy billboards.
They're going to have dancers.
They're going to do crazy stuff to just raise awareness and outrage after spending.
How are they going to do it?
I don't know, because they're way better at it than I would be.
But they're going to do something in the same way that how many people thought that Trump was going to show up in a garbage truck after Biden called the Trump supporters garbage.
They're going to do something that is just going to immensely rouse popular sentiment against government waste and that is going to drive the political momentum.
You don't need a budget for that.
You don't need any power for that because the power is the capacity to rise and rouse the voice of the people to the point where the politicians have to go along or get the fuck out.
It's not complicated.
I don't know why people are having a tough time with this.
Do not bet against the marketing and business genius of Trump and Musk.
Like, just don't do it.
Just don't do it.
Don't do it.
I mean, Teflon Dong is...
Dong?
Teflon Dong?
What am I talking about Arnold Palmer?
But Teflon Don is back in the White House.
Like, oh my God.
How many people...
I mean, I said he was going to...
I said it.
I said it before.
I said it on the 31st, I think, that he had the numbers.
That if the cheating was kept to a minimum, Trump would win, and I was right.
You don't bet against that guy in general, right?
Thank you, Matt.
But it is...
Because they kind of conceive of how Something can be done.
They rouse laughter at something being done, which is fantastic.
It's fantastic.
Teflon dong, I'd vote for him.
It's a well-oiled Vietnamese guy with a schlong to die for.
Watch The Truth About George Washington, and you may disagree with that comparison, One of the best Steph's truths about.
Thank you.
One of Steph's best truths about.
Yeah, well, again, to the long gone story and thanks.
Anyone see the New Zealand parliament doing the haka dance?
Yeah, because they came to New Zealand in the 13th century and genocided the existing natives.
I don't mean to laugh because it's brutal and horrifying and they've been recently, up until recently, they were all about the cannibalism, so...
Yeah, I don't know, again, because I'm not at anywhere near the level of Musk and Trump, but they're going to find a way to publicize this stuff, and they have this incredible ability to get inside people's nervous system and rouse amazing amounts of public, political, and economic energy and outrage.
They're going to find ways to publicize it.
They're going to find ways to rouse things.
They already have thousands of volunteers.
They're going to create a "army" of people who are going to identify and elevate and make irresistible to the unconscious imagination of every American the amount of shocking waste and fraud that is going on in the government.
And how are they going to get it done?
I don't know.
Because I'm not them.
But I know they're gonna get it done.
