Stay right here for our final news round up and
Information Overload.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right, News round Up in Information Overload. Here's our
whole free number. It's eight hundred nine point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
When I started, when I did.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
This interview with Elon and President Trump, I didn't know
how long they would give me. And we have a
nice chunk that we're going to air tonight as part two. Anyway,
here's President Trump and Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I gotta start with this.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
So he's working for free with those he's he's kind
of put a lot of his life on hold. And
you sued Twitter a number of years ago. You just
made him pay you ten million dollars.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I sued from long before he had it. And I
mean they really did a number on me, you know,
and I sued and they had to pay.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
They paid ten million dollars settlement. You're okay with that?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
I mean I left it up to the lawyers, and
you know that the team running Twitter. So I said,
do you guys do what you think is the right.
It makes sense.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
I think it's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I think it's a very low I was looking to
get much more money.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Than that, So you gave him a discount on.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The laws you got it is, Oh, he got a
big discount.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I don't think he even knows about.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
He's become one of your if you read didn't believe
the media, he become one of your best friends.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
He's working for free for you.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
President.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
I just want to be care about that. I don't
care about that. I know, I love I love the President.
I think I think President Trump is a good man
and he's you know that.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Way he said that. You know, it's something I said
about it.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Really is, you know, because I mean the President has
been so unfairly attacked in the media.
Speaker 7 (01:42):
It's truly outrageous.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
And I've spent at this point, spent a lot of
time with President and not once have I seen him
do something that was mean or cruel or or wrong
that once.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You know, I've known him for thirty years.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, and I've never seen anybody take as much as
he's taken. And we've discussed this, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
How do you deal with it?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Well, you would say that to me, I'm like, what
do I Let's see what am I going to do?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And worry about it?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And you know and then culminating into assassination attempts, which
resulted in your endorsement.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Well, I was going to do.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
It anyway, but that was that was it.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
A little bit, Yeah, the day of the assassin, I
didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah, I just sped it up, but I was going
to do it anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Mister President, with your indulgence, I'm convinced that people only
know a little bit about Elion.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I don't think they know everything about a.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Lot because as I studied and prepared for this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Interview, I learned a lot about you that I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I think people will think about Tesla, democrats are demonizing
you and trying to make the country hate you. I
just want people to understand you a little bit better
and the person that you've gotten to know and have
now put a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Of trust in.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
And you know, just let's go or a little bit
of your bios, starting with PayPal and how you became
involved in Tesla and SpaceX.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
And Newer Links and all.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Well, I mean, you know, I think the way you
think of me is like I'm a technologist and I
try to make technologies that improve the world and make
God shut shirt.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Yeah, and that's why I.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Like my tea shirt says tech support because I'm here
to provide the present with technology support. And now that
may seem like, well, is that a silly thing, But
actually it's a very important thing because the president will
make these executive orders which are very sensible and good
for the country, but then they don't get implemented.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
You know.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
So if you take, for example, all the funding for
the migrant hotels, the president issued executive order, Hey, we
need to stop taking tax payer money and paying for
luxury hotels for illegal immigrants, which makes no sense. Obviously,
people do not want their tax dollars going to fund
high end hotels for for legals, and yet they were
(04:02):
still doing that even as late as last week, and
so you know, we went in there and we're like,
this is the violation of the presidential executive order. It
needs to stop. So so what we're doing here is
one of the biggest functions of the DOSE team is
just making sure that the presidential executive orders are actually
carried out. And this is I just want to point
(04:23):
this is a very important thing because the president is
the elected representative of the people, so it's representing the
will of the people and If the bureaucracy is fighting
the will of the people and preventing the president, the
president from implementing what the people want, then what we
live in is a bureaucracy and not a democracy.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
You're both aware.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You have to be keenly aware that the media and
the punditry class not that you know. I think you've
proven they have no power anymore because they threw everything
they had at you and they didn't win. And that
was you know, the New York Times, Washington Post, three networks,
every late night comedy show, two cable channels.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
They just threw.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
They threw everything, warfare weapons they should. And now I
see they want you to to start They want a divorce.
They want you to to start hating each other. And
they try. Oh President Elon Musk, for example, you do
know that they're doing that to you.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh, I see it all the time. They tried it,
then they stopped. That wasn't They have many different things
of hatred. Actually, Elon called me, he said, you know
they're trying to drive us apart. I said absolutely, you know,
they said we are breaking as Donald Trump has seated
control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will
(05:46):
be attending a cabinet meeting at eight o'clock, and I say,
it's just so obvious.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
They're so bad at it. I used to think they
were good at it. They're actually bad at it.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Because if they were good at it, I'd never be president.
Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more
bad publicity than me.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I could do the greatest things. I get ninety eight
percent bad publicity.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I could do outside of you, a few of your
very good friends. It's like the craziest thing. But you
know what I have learned in Land that people are smart.
They get it. Yeah, they do it, they get it.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
They really see what's happening.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
And at the end of this interview, what I would
like is I want people to know the relationship and
know more about you. What is the relationship mister President.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, I respect him, I've always respected him. I never
knew that he was right on certain things, and I'm
usually pretty good at this stuff. He did starlink, He
did things that were so advanced.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
And nobody knew what the hell they were.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I can tell you in North Carolina they had no communication.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
They were wiped out.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Those people where you know they had rivers in between
land that never saw water. All of a sudden it
was a river and a vicious like rapids. People were
dying all over. They had no communication. They said, you
know Elon Musk and they didn't really know.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I know him. I said, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
He said, could you get starl like it's like the
first time I ever heard of it. I said, what's
Star like? A communication system? That's unbelievable. Yeah, and he said.
I called him and I said, listen, they.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Really need it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And he got like thousands of units of this communication
and it saved a lot of lives. He got it immediately,
and you can't get it. I mean, you have to
wait a long time to get it. But he got
it to him immediately. And I said, that's pretty amazing.
And I didn't even know he had it. We watched
the rocket ship, so we watched Tesler. I think you
(07:40):
know something that had an effect on me was when
I saw the rocket ship come back and get grabbed
like you grab a beautiful little baby, you grab your baby.
It just yeah, no, but and he said, you know,
you can't have a rocket program if you're going to
dump a billion dollars into the ocean. Every time you fly,
(08:00):
you have to save it, and he saved it first
time that I've been seeing that done.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Now nobody else can do it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
If you look at the US, Russia or China, they
can't do it and they won't be.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Able to do it for a long time. He is
the technology. So you learn.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in
terms of the country, a very important aspect because I mean,
he doesn't talking about he's actually a very good businessman.
And when he talks about the executive orders, and this
is probably true for all precedents. You write an executive
order and you think it's done, you send it out,
it doesn't get done.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
It doesn't get implemented. They don't implement it.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
They maybe they're from the last administration, and they are
in some cases.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
You try and get him out as fast as you can.
But I could. As soon as he said that, I said,
you know, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You write a beautiful executive and you sign it and
you assume it's going to be done.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
What he does is he takes it and with his
hundred geniuses, He's got some very brilliant young people work
for him. That dress much worse than him. Actually, they
dressing just T shirts.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
You wouldn't you wouldn't know they have one hundred and
eighty idea.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So he's your tech support.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
He's much more than that act.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
He gets it done. He's a leader. Really, he gets
it done.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
You get a lot of tech people and you have
people they go to a tech but they get He
gets it done.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You know, I said, in real estate, you had guys that.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Would draw beautiful renderings of a building, and they'd draw
the rendering. It would be great, And he said, great,
when are you starting? But they were never able to
get it built. They couldn't get the finances, they couldn't
get the approvals.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It would never get done.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And then you have other guys that are able to
get it done. You know, they could just get it done.
It was in real estate, same thing in this he
gets it done. So when he said that, he said,
you know, when you sign these executive orders, a lot
of them don't get done, and maybe the most important ones.
And he would take that executive order that I'd sign
and he would have those people go to whatever agency
(09:53):
it was, when are you doing it?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Get it done? Get it done. And some guy that
maybe didn't want to do it. All of a sudden,
he's signing. He just doesn't work involved.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It does do a lot of those executive orders have
to be codified into the water.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You need the Republican Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And they will a lot of them will be Yeah. Well,
look in the meantime, we have four years. The beauty
is we have four years. That's why I like doing
it right at the beginning, because an executive order is great.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I mean, the one problem it's both good to ban because.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
When they did all these executive orders, I've canceled most
of them.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
They were terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I mean, we're going to go radical left communists, Okay,
it was crazy there. Executive orders were so bad. If
they ever got them codified, you'd never be able to
break them. So the damage that Biden has done to
this country, and it's not even Biden, it's the people
that circled them in the Oval Office, Okay, but the
damage they did to this country in terms of let's say,
(10:45):
open borders. You know, there's so many things, but open
borders where millions of people poured into our country and
hundreds of thousands of those people are criminals, they're murderers,
they're drug dealers, they're gang members, they're people from prisons
or all over the world. And we have a great guy,
Tom Holman, and he is doing so incredibly.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
You saw the number down. He is a phenomenal guy.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And Christy Noman is doing an unbelievable job.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
And he wanted her. He said she's so tough. And
I said, I don't think of her as that way.
You know, she's very nice. He said, no, she's so tough,
and she is. I see with the horses, he's riding
the hoarse let's go. She's great. But the team we
have is really unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
But those executive orders I sign him and now they
get passed on to him and his group and other people,
and they're all getting done.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
We're getting them done.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Let me let me go back a little bit to
your background, because it's sure, it's beyond impressive. You were
the chief engineer, for example, you were an early believer
in Tesler. He became the CEO and then the chief engineer,
which was phenomenal. U SpaceX same thing, which is unbelievable.
I mean, you were the first company, private company to
(12:03):
send astronauts successfully into into space. First private company to
send astronauts into orbit. Yeah, that's that's pretty deep.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
He's going to go to orbit soon.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Okay, No, he's going to go to Mars at some
points over I was asking me like, do you want
to die on wise and I say, well yes, but
not an.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Impact starlink is in one hundred countries.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
This is going to be hard. I feel like I'm
interviewer two brothers here. Star shield which could be used
for national defense.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Yeah, it is already national defense.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Then you have a what is it called optimists, a
part of test robotic arm.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Then you have an AI arm, and then you have something.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
That really fascinated me, and it's called neurallink. Yes, you
might help the blind to see people with final cord
injuries that they that they can recover where.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
In the past.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How close is that becoming a success?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
A neuralink we've had We've implanted neuralink in three patients
so far who are quadriplegics, and it allows them to
directly control their phone and computer just using their mind,
just by thinking.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
It's like, so we call this product telepathy.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
So you control your computer and just by thinking, and
it's possible to actually control the computer and phone faster
than someone who has working hands. Then the next step
would be to add a second neuralink implant past the
point where these the neurons damaged, so that somebody can
walk again, and so they can have full body functionality restored.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
And so you like Bobby, right, I like Bobby.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Actually, yeah, I think I supported Bobby Kennedy. I think,
you know, he's unfairly in miligned as someone who is
anti science, but I think he isn't. He just wants
to question the science, which is the essence of the science.
The scientific method fundamentally is about always questioning the science.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
So they didn't tell us the truth about COVID, that's
for sure. Yes, and we learned a lot with the
Twitter follows, and that just then raises a question.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
You're the richest man in the world. You may not
like that part.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
You're pretty competitive there a long time, but that's why.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
But he's on your teas of it. Well, that's true.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
We can't talk that, you know. I wanted to find
somebody smarter than him. I searched all over. I just
couldn't do it. I couldn't. I could really tried hard.
I couldn't find anyone smarter, right, So I had it.
We had it for the country. But this is they
settled and we settled on this.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Well, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
This is the interesting point. This is where we are
as a society.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And I.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Hate to do this too, but I'm going to do
it anyway.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You're doing all of these things if those nobody at
those gets paid a penny.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Correct, Well, actually some people are federal employees.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Yeah, they're helping, but it's fair to say that the
software engineers at those could be millions of dollars a
year and instead of earning a small fraction of that
as federal playes.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Okay, so they're very committed people.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Up next, more of my exclusive interview with President Trump
and Elon Musk, as Hannity continues from the Trump White House.
All right, back to my interview with President Donald Trump
and Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It took place at the White House.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
So you're you're committed to helping the blind, see people
with spinal cord injuries recover. Yes, you're committed to getting
to Mars. You're committed to rescue. You're going to help
rescue next month. Two astronauts that I think were a
man and they dispute that in an interview.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
President's request or instruction, we are accelerating the return of
the astronauts, which was postponed kind of to ridiculous degree.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
They had left in space.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
They've been there, they were supposed to be there eight
days that there are almost three hundred.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
They're put Yes, they're left up there for political reasons,
which is not good.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Okay, it's not good.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Now, if I had the weight of the pressure of
doing that successfully on my shoulders, I think i'd be
you know, but you when we spoke before we did
this interview, you are very confident. You think this will
be a successful mission.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Well, we don't want to be complacent, but we have
brought national It's back from the space station many times before, and.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Always with success.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
So as long as we're not complacent, when are you
going to launch? I think it's about about four weeks
to bring them back.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
About four weeks.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Yeah, and extremely courious.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You now have to go ahead?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Yes, Well, thanks to you, they didn't have to go ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
With Biden. He was going to leave them in space.
I think he was going to leave him in space.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Well, it's like consider were growing up lost in space.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
He didn't want the publicity.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Unbelievable?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
And so I want to echo something that the president
said and then.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Ask an overarching question.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
So people get hit with Hurricane Helene, they have no
communicycation with the outside world.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
You come to the rescue. You donated that. I believe
you donated to the people.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina. He
saved a lot of lives.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
In California after the while California, but I mean in
North Carolina where they were really in trouble. They had
no communication. People were not saying they were dying of starvation.
He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Okay, now you're going to rescue astronauts and now and
again you do you do all of this? I would
think liberals would love the fact that you have the
biggest electric vehicle company in the world.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Yeah, I mean I used to be adored by the left,
you know, not any less?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
So they killed that, huh, I mean less, I really
did it.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
I mean this whole sort of like you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Know, it's cut like Trump dration syndrome, and you don't
realize how real this is until like it's you can't
reason with people. So like I was at a friend's
birthday party in Allix, just a birthday dinner, and there
was like a nice, quiet dinner and I think was
everyone was behaving normally. And then I happened to mention
this is before the election, like a month or two
before I have to mention the president's name, and it
(18:06):
was like they got shot with a dart in the
jugular that contained like methamphetamine, and.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Raby's okay, I'm like, what is Guys like you can't
have like a normal conversation and it's like it's like
that to become completely irrational.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
There's no idea that if you're friends with him, yeah,
you pay a price. It's like a walk in a
restaurant in New York and it's like half the room
gets daggers and they want to.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Level.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Is insane.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I mean, there was like like some some invitation because
so I got to write it's like basically a big
sort of damn, damn event like that was. But it
received the invitation like the beginning of last year and
then and I still attended even after I had endorsed
President Trump, and I didn't realize how profoundly that would
(18:58):
affect uh, you know how I was received. I mean,
I won't get into the room, and I'm getting just
the dirty looks from front everyone like if looks good kill,
I would have been dead several times over.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
But that was nothing.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
For Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That never happened. Right now, this is the million dollar
or billion dollar I'm among billionaires question. So you have
all this going on and you stop in a way,
you're still doing it, and you partner with him, and
this is what you get for it from the Democrats.
You get nobody voted for Elan Well, nobody voted for
(19:37):
any of your cabinet nominees. Okay, people are dying because
of Doge cuts. I'll give you a chance to respond
to what Doge is doing is illegal. Elon Musk is
a small street binacular for a male body part. As
a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
Okay, why are they reacting like this?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Well, first of all, do you give it fly and
ripped over number one?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
And well, I guess we must be over the target
or doing something right. You know, if like, they wouldn't
be complaining so much if they weren't doing something useful.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
I think.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
What we're really trying to do here is restore the
will of the people through the president.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
And what we're finding is.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
That there's an unelected bureaucracy. Speaking of unelected, there's a
there's a vast federal bureaucracy that is implacably opposed to
the president and the cabinet. And you look at say,
DC voting, it's ninety two percent.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Kamala.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Okay, so we're in ninety two percent, Kamala. That's a lot.
They don't like me here either.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I think about that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Number a lot, and like ninety two percent that's basically
almost everyone.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
And so but if, but how can you if if
the will of.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
The president is not implemented and the president is representative
of the people, that means the will of the people
is not implements it, and that means we don't live
in a democracy.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
We live in a bureaucracy.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
And so I think what we're seeing here is the
sort of the thrashing of the bureaucracy as we try
to restore democracy and the will of the people is
just making sense.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I mean, no, of course it does.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I mean to me, if you look at our framers
and our founders and you really become a student of history,
mister President, and we've had conversations both on air and
off air, and if we talk about constitutional order or
transformational change, nobody can argue that what's happening here is
is going at the speed of light. But however, what
(21:39):
were the principles of our framers and our founders. They
wanted limited government, greater freedom for the people. And we'll
get to the specific cutting of waste for an abuse.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That is your goal, is it not?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
And my goal is to get great people.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And when you look at what this man has done,
I mean it was something I know him a little
bit through the White House originally, I'd see him around
a little bit. I didn't know him before that, and
I respected what he did, and he fought hard.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
You know, he was.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Maybe questioned for a while, he was having some difficulties.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
It was not easy doing what he did.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I mean, how many people have started a car company,
had made it really successful and made a better car
where it's you know, beating these big companies that's all
they do is cars. I mean, it's really amazing the
things he's done. But I didn't know it as much
then as now. I mean, the fruits have sort of
taken hold, but I wanted great people, and he's a
(22:38):
great person.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
He's an amazing person. He's also a caring person, you know,
he uses the word care.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
So they signed a contract and a government agency and
it has three months and the guy leaves that signed
the contract and nobody else is there, and they paid
the contract for ten years. So the guy is getting
checks for years and years and years, and he's telling
his family obviously maybe it was crooked. May be paid
to get the contractor may be paid that they didn't
terminate it. But you know, we have contracts they go forever,
(23:06):
and they've been going for years and they're supposed to
end in three months or five months or two years
or something, and they go forever. So the guy is
either crooked, you know, where he knew this was going
to happen, or he's crooked because he's getting payments that
he knows he shouldn't be getting. But they're finding things
like that, they're finding things far worse than that, and
they're finding billions and it will be hundreds of billions
(23:29):
of dollars worth of fraud. I say waste and abuse,
but fraud, wasted abuse. And he's doing an amazing job
and he attracts a young, very.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Smart type of person.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I call him high IQ individuals, and they are.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
They're very high Q and high IQ.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And when they go in to see the people and
talk to these people, you know, the people think they're
gonna pull it over.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
These guys are smart and they love the country. You know,
there's a certain something. But he uses the word care,
so people have to care. Like when I bought air
Force one, I negotiated the price. It was five point
seven billion, and I got them down one point seven billion.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Now they're not building the plane fast enough.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I mean they're actually in default Boeing, they're supposed.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
To have been building this thing. I don't know what's
going on. We don't build the way we used to build.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
You know, we used to build like a ship a day,
and now to build a ship is like a big deal.
And we're going to get this country back on track.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
We can do it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But so many things it takes so long to get
things built and get things done, and a lot of
it could be something we've been discussing. The regulators going
and they make it impossible to build. They make it
very difficult to build anything, whether it's a ship a
plane or a building or anything.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
And some of them do.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It because they want to show how important they are.
Some of them do it maybe because they think they're right.
They use the environment to stop progress and to stop things.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
It's always the environment. It's an environment. It's not an
environmental problem at all. But they do a lot of things.
And by the way, speaking of that, Lee Zelden is
going to be fantastic in the position.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So important he could take ten years to approve or
disapprove something, or he could do it in a month,
you know, just as good. And I think you're going
to see some fantastic a fantastic job.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Done by him. He's a tremendous guy.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Knew you echoed something when I just met you, and
it was very similar to what new has been saying
that where he brought this country to the dance. This
is the opportunity to be transformational.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And I would argue the.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Most consequential presidency if we if we'd really dig down
and do something that had never been done before, and
that is get rid of this bureaucracy. And I'm going
to get to the specifics. You say the same thing.
It's not done yet, and what do you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I mean, when in the election is really the opportunity
to fix the system. It is not fixing the system itself,
So it's an opportunity to fix the system and to
restore the power of democracy.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
And you know, people like.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
It's funny, how how often when these attacks occur, the
thing that they're accusing the administration of is what they
are guilty of. They're saying that things are being done unconstitutional,
but what they are doing is unconstitutional. They are guilty
of the crime of which they accuse us.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
It's always the first thing they do here's in violation
of the constitution.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
They don't even know what they're dooking. Well, they serve.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's just a conjob. It's a big con job. And
they're so bad for the country. It's so dangerous and
so bad. And the media is so bad. When I
watch ms NBC, which I don't watch much, but you
have to watch the enemy on occasion, the level of
arrogance and cheating, and they're just horrible people. These are
(26:55):
horrible people. And they start up with a constitution. They
couldn't less about the constitution. CNN likewise, I mean, I
watched them asking questions with you know, the hatred, with
the I said, why are you asking the question with
such anger? You're asking me a normal question, but you
(27:15):
see the bias. The bias is so incredible. Those two
are bad. PBS is bad, AP is bad, CBS is terrible.
I mean CBS. Now they changed an answer in Kamala.
They asked us some questions. She answered him like, you know,
a low IQ person the opposite of him, the absolute opposite.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
But she gave a horrible answer.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
They took the entire answer out and they put another
answer that she gave twenty minutes later into the I've
never even heard of that.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I thought I heard of it all.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
I'm going to just for the sake of saving time
because I could spend and I've done this.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
On radio and TV.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
I can spend an hour finding the outrageous amounts of
money being spent abroad like usaid.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
And I just want to mention a couple but I'm
going to scroll it.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Well, I guess at a high level, I think it's
what the President mentioned earlier, which is that in order
to save taxpayer money, it comes down to two things,
competence and caring.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
And when President was.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Shown the outrageous bill for the new Air Force one
and then negotiated it down. If the President had not
applied competence in caring, the price would have been fifty
percent higher, literally fifty percent higher.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
All right, remember part two of my interview tonight on
Hannity on the Fox News Channel. Then we have full
reaction to it, and we have Christy Noman a bunch
of other great people as well. Listen, I want to
remind you President Trump is back. Good news, and it
could be great for gold and silver. Ever since I
was able to start saving money, somebody advised me, and
I'm glad they did. You know, put a percentage of
(28:57):
your portfolio in golden soil. And I've been doing it
ever since, and I do it today and my company
that I use is gold Co. Now, in Trump's first term,
the price of gold went up a whopping fifty three percent.
The price of silver went up fifty one percent. Now
I don't, I can't. I don't have a crystal ball.
I can't tell you what's going to happen in the
next four years. Last year, you know, Gold's set record
(29:20):
after record after record, ending on a record high. Now,
gold and silver historically have been used as a store
of value. That's happened for centuries. The government can't easily
easily manipulate them, and they're known as a hedge against
market risk and inflation. And when I buy gold and
silver today, and I do, I get mine from my friends.
(29:43):
My partner's a gold coll They're a top rated precious
metals company and they support this show and they've helped
hardworking Americans purchase over three billion dollars in gold and silver.

All right, News round Up in Information Overload. Here's our
whole free number. It's eight hundred nine point one, Sean,
if you want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
When I started, when I did.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
This interview with Elon and President Trump, I didn't know
how long they would give me. And we have a
nice chunk that we're going to air tonight as part two. Anyway,
here's President Trump and Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I gotta start with this.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
So he's working for free with those he's he's kind
of put a lot of his life on hold. And
you sued Twitter a number of years ago. You just
made him pay you ten million dollars.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I sued from long before he had it. And I
mean they really did a number on me, you know,
and I sued and they had to pay.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
They paid ten million dollars settlement. You're okay with that?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
I mean I left it up to the lawyers, and
you know that the team running Twitter. So I said,
do you guys do what you think is the right.
It makes sense.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
I think it's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I think it's a very low I was looking to
get much more money.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Than that, So you gave him a discount on.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The laws you got it is, Oh, he got a
big discount.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I don't think he even knows about.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
He's become one of your if you read didn't believe
the media, he become one of your best friends.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
He's working for free for you.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
President.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
I just want to be care about that. I don't
care about that. I know, I love I love the President.
I think I think President Trump is a good man
and he's you know that.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Way he said that. You know, it's something I said
about it.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Really is, you know, because I mean the President has
been so unfairly attacked in the media.
Speaker 7 (01:42):
It's truly outrageous.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
And I've spent at this point, spent a lot of
time with President and not once have I seen him
do something that was mean or cruel or or wrong
that once.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You know, I've known him for thirty years.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, and I've never seen anybody take as much as
he's taken. And we've discussed this, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
How do you deal with it?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Well, you would say that to me, I'm like, what
do I Let's see what am I going to do?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And worry about it?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And you know and then culminating into assassination attempts, which
resulted in your endorsement.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Well, I was going to do.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
It anyway, but that was that was it.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
A little bit, Yeah, the day of the assassin, I
didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah, I just sped it up, but I was going
to do it anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Mister President, with your indulgence, I'm convinced that people only
know a little bit about Elion.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I don't think they know everything about a.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Lot because as I studied and prepared for this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Interview, I learned a lot about you that I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I think people will think about Tesla, democrats are demonizing
you and trying to make the country hate you. I
just want people to understand you a little bit better
and the person that you've gotten to know and have
now put a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Of trust in.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
And you know, just let's go or a little bit
of your bios, starting with PayPal and how you became
involved in Tesla and SpaceX.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
And Newer Links and all.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Well, I mean, you know, I think the way you
think of me is like I'm a technologist and I
try to make technologies that improve the world and make
God shut shirt.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Yeah, and that's why I.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Like my tea shirt says tech support because I'm here
to provide the present with technology support. And now that
may seem like, well, is that a silly thing, But
actually it's a very important thing because the president will
make these executive orders which are very sensible and good
for the country, but then they don't get implemented.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
You know.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
So if you take, for example, all the funding for
the migrant hotels, the president issued executive order, Hey, we
need to stop taking tax payer money and paying for
luxury hotels for illegal immigrants, which makes no sense. Obviously,
people do not want their tax dollars going to fund
high end hotels for for legals, and yet they were
(04:02):
still doing that even as late as last week, and
so you know, we went in there and we're like,
this is the violation of the presidential executive order. It
needs to stop. So so what we're doing here is
one of the biggest functions of the DOSE team is
just making sure that the presidential executive orders are actually
carried out. And this is I just want to point
(04:23):
this is a very important thing because the president is
the elected representative of the people, so it's representing the
will of the people and If the bureaucracy is fighting
the will of the people and preventing the president, the
president from implementing what the people want, then what we
live in is a bureaucracy and not a democracy.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
You're both aware.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You have to be keenly aware that the media and
the punditry class not that you know. I think you've
proven they have no power anymore because they threw everything
they had at you and they didn't win. And that
was you know, the New York Times, Washington Post, three networks,
every late night comedy show, two cable channels.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
They just threw.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
They threw everything, warfare weapons they should. And now I
see they want you to to start They want a divorce.
They want you to to start hating each other. And
they try. Oh President Elon Musk, for example, you do
know that they're doing that to you.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh, I see it all the time. They tried it,
then they stopped. That wasn't They have many different things
of hatred. Actually, Elon called me, he said, you know
they're trying to drive us apart. I said absolutely, you know,
they said we are breaking as Donald Trump has seated
control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will
(05:46):
be attending a cabinet meeting at eight o'clock, and I say,
it's just so obvious.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
They're so bad at it. I used to think they
were good at it. They're actually bad at it.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Because if they were good at it, I'd never be president.
Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more
bad publicity than me.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I could do the greatest things. I get ninety eight
percent bad publicity.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I could do outside of you, a few of your
very good friends. It's like the craziest thing. But you
know what I have learned in Land that people are smart.
They get it. Yeah, they do it, they get it.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
They really see what's happening.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
And at the end of this interview, what I would
like is I want people to know the relationship and
know more about you. What is the relationship mister President.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, I respect him, I've always respected him. I never
knew that he was right on certain things, and I'm
usually pretty good at this stuff. He did starlink, He
did things that were so advanced.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
And nobody knew what the hell they were.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I can tell you in North Carolina they had no communication.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
They were wiped out.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Those people where you know they had rivers in between
land that never saw water. All of a sudden it
was a river and a vicious like rapids. People were
dying all over. They had no communication. They said, you
know Elon Musk and they didn't really know.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I know him. I said, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
He said, could you get starl like it's like the
first time I ever heard of it. I said, what's
Star like? A communication system? That's unbelievable. Yeah, and he said.
I called him and I said, listen, they.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Really need it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And he got like thousands of units of this communication
and it saved a lot of lives. He got it immediately,
and you can't get it. I mean, you have to
wait a long time to get it. But he got
it to him immediately. And I said, that's pretty amazing.
And I didn't even know he had it. We watched
the rocket ship, so we watched Tesler. I think you
(07:40):
know something that had an effect on me was when
I saw the rocket ship come back and get grabbed
like you grab a beautiful little baby, you grab your baby.
It just yeah, no, but and he said, you know,
you can't have a rocket program if you're going to
dump a billion dollars into the ocean. Every time you fly,
(08:00):
you have to save it, and he saved it first
time that I've been seeing that done.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Now nobody else can do it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
If you look at the US, Russia or China, they
can't do it and they won't be.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Able to do it for a long time. He is
the technology. So you learn.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in
terms of the country, a very important aspect because I mean,
he doesn't talking about he's actually a very good businessman.
And when he talks about the executive orders, and this
is probably true for all precedents. You write an executive
order and you think it's done, you send it out,
it doesn't get done.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
It doesn't get implemented. They don't implement it.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
They maybe they're from the last administration, and they are
in some cases.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
You try and get him out as fast as you can.
But I could. As soon as he said that, I said,
you know, that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You write a beautiful executive and you sign it and
you assume it's going to be done.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
What he does is he takes it and with his
hundred geniuses, He's got some very brilliant young people work
for him. That dress much worse than him. Actually, they
dressing just T shirts.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
You wouldn't you wouldn't know they have one hundred and
eighty idea.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So he's your tech support.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
He's much more than that act.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
He gets it done. He's a leader. Really, he gets
it done.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
You get a lot of tech people and you have
people they go to a tech but they get He
gets it done.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You know, I said, in real estate, you had guys that.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Would draw beautiful renderings of a building, and they'd draw
the rendering. It would be great, And he said, great,
when are you starting? But they were never able to
get it built. They couldn't get the finances, they couldn't
get the approvals.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It would never get done.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And then you have other guys that are able to
get it done. You know, they could just get it done.
It was in real estate, same thing in this he
gets it done. So when he said that, he said,
you know, when you sign these executive orders, a lot
of them don't get done, and maybe the most important ones.
And he would take that executive order that I'd sign
and he would have those people go to whatever agency
(09:53):
it was, when are you doing it?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Get it done? Get it done. And some guy that
maybe didn't want to do it. All of a sudden,
he's signing. He just doesn't work involved.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It does do a lot of those executive orders have
to be codified into the water.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You need the Republican Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
And they will a lot of them will be Yeah. Well,
look in the meantime, we have four years. The beauty
is we have four years. That's why I like doing
it right at the beginning, because an executive order is great.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I mean, the one problem it's both good to ban because.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
When they did all these executive orders, I've canceled most
of them.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
They were terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I mean, we're going to go radical left communists, Okay,
it was crazy there. Executive orders were so bad. If
they ever got them codified, you'd never be able to
break them. So the damage that Biden has done to
this country, and it's not even Biden, it's the people
that circled them in the Oval Office, Okay, but the
damage they did to this country in terms of let's say,
(10:45):
open borders. You know, there's so many things, but open
borders where millions of people poured into our country and
hundreds of thousands of those people are criminals, they're murderers,
they're drug dealers, they're gang members, they're people from prisons
or all over the world. And we have a great guy,
Tom Holman, and he is doing so incredibly.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
You saw the number down. He is a phenomenal guy.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And Christy Noman is doing an unbelievable job.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
And he wanted her. He said she's so tough. And
I said, I don't think of her as that way.
You know, she's very nice. He said, no, she's so tough,
and she is. I see with the horses, he's riding
the hoarse let's go. She's great. But the team we
have is really unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
But those executive orders I sign him and now they
get passed on to him and his group and other people,
and they're all getting done.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
We're getting them done.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Let me let me go back a little bit to
your background, because it's sure, it's beyond impressive. You were
the chief engineer, for example, you were an early believer
in Tesler. He became the CEO and then the chief engineer,
which was phenomenal. U SpaceX same thing, which is unbelievable.
I mean, you were the first company, private company to
(12:03):
send astronauts successfully into into space. First private company to
send astronauts into orbit. Yeah, that's that's pretty deep.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
He's going to go to orbit soon.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Okay, No, he's going to go to Mars at some
points over I was asking me like, do you want
to die on wise and I say, well yes, but
not an.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Impact starlink is in one hundred countries.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
This is going to be hard. I feel like I'm
interviewer two brothers here. Star shield which could be used
for national defense.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Yeah, it is already national defense.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Then you have a what is it called optimists, a
part of test robotic arm.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Then you have an AI arm, and then you have something.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
That really fascinated me, and it's called neurallink. Yes, you
might help the blind to see people with final cord
injuries that they that they can recover where.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
In the past.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
How close is that becoming a success?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
A neuralink we've had We've implanted neuralink in three patients
so far who are quadriplegics, and it allows them to
directly control their phone and computer just using their mind,
just by thinking.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
It's like, so we call this product telepathy.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
So you control your computer and just by thinking, and
it's possible to actually control the computer and phone faster
than someone who has working hands. Then the next step
would be to add a second neuralink implant past the
point where these the neurons damaged, so that somebody can
walk again, and so they can have full body functionality restored.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
And so you like Bobby, right, I like Bobby.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Actually, yeah, I think I supported Bobby Kennedy. I think,
you know, he's unfairly in miligned as someone who is
anti science, but I think he isn't. He just wants
to question the science, which is the essence of the science.
The scientific method fundamentally is about always questioning the science.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
So they didn't tell us the truth about COVID, that's
for sure. Yes, and we learned a lot with the
Twitter follows, and that just then raises a question.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
You're the richest man in the world. You may not
like that part.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
You're pretty competitive there a long time, but that's why.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
But he's on your teas of it. Well, that's true.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
We can't talk that, you know. I wanted to find
somebody smarter than him. I searched all over. I just
couldn't do it. I couldn't. I could really tried hard.
I couldn't find anyone smarter, right, So I had it.
We had it for the country. But this is they
settled and we settled on this.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Well, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
This is the interesting point. This is where we are
as a society.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
And I.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Hate to do this too, but I'm going to do
it anyway.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You're doing all of these things if those nobody at
those gets paid a penny.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Correct, Well, actually some people are federal employees.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
Yeah, they're helping, but it's fair to say that the
software engineers at those could be millions of dollars a
year and instead of earning a small fraction of that
as federal playes.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Okay, so they're very committed people.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Up next, more of my exclusive interview with President Trump
and Elon Musk, as Hannity continues from the Trump White House.
All right, back to my interview with President Donald Trump
and Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
It took place at the White House.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
So you're you're committed to helping the blind, see people
with spinal cord injuries recover. Yes, you're committed to getting
to Mars. You're committed to rescue. You're going to help
rescue next month. Two astronauts that I think were a
man and they dispute that in an interview.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
President's request or instruction, we are accelerating the return of
the astronauts, which was postponed kind of to ridiculous degree.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
They had left in space.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
They've been there, they were supposed to be there eight
days that there are almost three hundred.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
They're put Yes, they're left up there for political reasons,
which is not good.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Okay, it's not good.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Now, if I had the weight of the pressure of
doing that successfully on my shoulders, I think i'd be
you know, but you when we spoke before we did
this interview, you are very confident. You think this will
be a successful mission.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Well, we don't want to be complacent, but we have
brought national It's back from the space station many times before, and.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Always with success.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
So as long as we're not complacent, when are you
going to launch? I think it's about about four weeks
to bring them back.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
About four weeks.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Yeah, and extremely courious.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You now have to go ahead?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Yes, Well, thanks to you, they didn't have to go ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
With Biden. He was going to leave them in space.
I think he was going to leave him in space.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Well, it's like consider were growing up lost in space.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
He didn't want the publicity.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Unbelievable?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
And so I want to echo something that the president
said and then.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Ask an overarching question.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
So people get hit with Hurricane Helene, they have no
communicycation with the outside world.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
You come to the rescue. You donated that. I believe
you donated to the people.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina. He
saved a lot of lives.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
In California after the while California, but I mean in
North Carolina where they were really in trouble. They had
no communication. People were not saying they were dying of starvation.
He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Okay, now you're going to rescue astronauts and now and
again you do you do all of this? I would
think liberals would love the fact that you have the
biggest electric vehicle company in the world.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Yeah, I mean I used to be adored by the left,
you know, not any less?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
So they killed that, huh, I mean less, I really
did it.
Speaker 7 (17:43):
I mean this whole sort of like you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Know, it's cut like Trump dration syndrome, and you don't
realize how real this is until like it's you can't
reason with people. So like I was at a friend's
birthday party in Allix, just a birthday dinner, and there
was like a nice, quiet dinner and I think was
everyone was behaving normally. And then I happened to mention
this is before the election, like a month or two
before I have to mention the president's name, and it
(18:06):
was like they got shot with a dart in the
jugular that contained like methamphetamine, and.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
Raby's okay, I'm like, what is Guys like you can't
have like a normal conversation and it's like it's like
that to become completely irrational.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
There's no idea that if you're friends with him, yeah,
you pay a price. It's like a walk in a
restaurant in New York and it's like half the room
gets daggers and they want to.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Level.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Is insane.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I mean, there was like like some some invitation because
so I got to write it's like basically a big
sort of damn, damn event like that was. But it
received the invitation like the beginning of last year and
then and I still attended even after I had endorsed
President Trump, and I didn't realize how profoundly that would
(18:58):
affect uh, you know how I was received. I mean,
I won't get into the room, and I'm getting just
the dirty looks from front everyone like if looks good kill,
I would have been dead several times over.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
But that was nothing.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
For Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That never happened. Right now, this is the million dollar
or billion dollar I'm among billionaires question. So you have
all this going on and you stop in a way,
you're still doing it, and you partner with him, and
this is what you get for it from the Democrats.
You get nobody voted for Elan Well, nobody voted for
(19:37):
any of your cabinet nominees. Okay, people are dying because
of Doge cuts. I'll give you a chance to respond
to what Doge is doing is illegal. Elon Musk is
a small street binacular for a male body part. As
a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
Okay, why are they reacting like this?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Well, first of all, do you give it fly and
ripped over number one?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
And well, I guess we must be over the target
or doing something right. You know, if like, they wouldn't
be complaining so much if they weren't doing something useful.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
I think.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
What we're really trying to do here is restore the
will of the people through the president.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
And what we're finding is.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
That there's an unelected bureaucracy. Speaking of unelected, there's a
there's a vast federal bureaucracy that is implacably opposed to
the president and the cabinet. And you look at say,
DC voting, it's ninety two percent.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Kamala.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Okay, so we're in ninety two percent, Kamala. That's a lot.
They don't like me here either.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I think about that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Number a lot, and like ninety two percent that's basically
almost everyone.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
And so but if, but how can you if if
the will of.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
The president is not implemented and the president is representative
of the people, that means the will of the people
is not implements it, and that means we don't live
in a democracy.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
We live in a bureaucracy.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
And so I think what we're seeing here is the
sort of the thrashing of the bureaucracy as we try
to restore democracy and the will of the people is
just making sense.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I mean, no, of course it does.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I mean to me, if you look at our framers
and our founders and you really become a student of history,
mister President, and we've had conversations both on air and
off air, and if we talk about constitutional order or
transformational change, nobody can argue that what's happening here is
is going at the speed of light. But however, what
(21:39):
were the principles of our framers and our founders. They
wanted limited government, greater freedom for the people. And we'll
get to the specific cutting of waste for an abuse.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
That is your goal, is it not?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
And my goal is to get great people.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And when you look at what this man has done,
I mean it was something I know him a little
bit through the White House originally, I'd see him around
a little bit. I didn't know him before that, and
I respected what he did, and he fought hard.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
You know, he was.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Maybe questioned for a while, he was having some difficulties.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
It was not easy doing what he did.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I mean, how many people have started a car company,
had made it really successful and made a better car
where it's you know, beating these big companies that's all
they do is cars. I mean, it's really amazing the
things he's done. But I didn't know it as much
then as now. I mean, the fruits have sort of
taken hold, but I wanted great people, and he's a
(22:38):
great person.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
He's an amazing person. He's also a caring person, you know,
he uses the word care.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
So they signed a contract and a government agency and
it has three months and the guy leaves that signed
the contract and nobody else is there, and they paid
the contract for ten years. So the guy is getting
checks for years and years and years, and he's telling
his family obviously maybe it was crooked. May be paid
to get the contractor may be paid that they didn't
terminate it. But you know, we have contracts they go forever,
(23:06):
and they've been going for years and they're supposed to
end in three months or five months or two years
or something, and they go forever. So the guy is
either crooked, you know, where he knew this was going
to happen, or he's crooked because he's getting payments that
he knows he shouldn't be getting. But they're finding things
like that, they're finding things far worse than that, and
they're finding billions and it will be hundreds of billions
(23:29):
of dollars worth of fraud. I say waste and abuse,
but fraud, wasted abuse. And he's doing an amazing job
and he attracts a young, very.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Smart type of person.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I call him high IQ individuals, and they are.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
They're very high Q and high IQ.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
And when they go in to see the people and
talk to these people, you know, the people think they're
gonna pull it over.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
These guys are smart and they love the country. You know,
there's a certain something. But he uses the word care,
so people have to care. Like when I bought air
Force one, I negotiated the price. It was five point
seven billion, and I got them down one point seven billion.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Now they're not building the plane fast enough.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I mean they're actually in default Boeing, they're supposed.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
To have been building this thing. I don't know what's
going on. We don't build the way we used to build.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
You know, we used to build like a ship a day,
and now to build a ship is like a big deal.
And we're going to get this country back on track.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
We can do it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
But so many things it takes so long to get
things built and get things done, and a lot of
it could be something we've been discussing. The regulators going
and they make it impossible to build. They make it
very difficult to build anything, whether it's a ship a
plane or a building or anything.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
And some of them do.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It because they want to show how important they are.
Some of them do it maybe because they think they're right.
They use the environment to stop progress and to stop things.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
It's always the environment. It's an environment. It's not an
environmental problem at all. But they do a lot of things.
And by the way, speaking of that, Lee Zelden is
going to be fantastic in the position.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So important he could take ten years to approve or
disapprove something, or he could do it in a month,
you know, just as good. And I think you're going
to see some fantastic a fantastic job.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Done by him. He's a tremendous guy.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Knew you echoed something when I just met you, and
it was very similar to what new has been saying
that where he brought this country to the dance. This
is the opportunity to be transformational.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And I would argue the.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Most consequential presidency if we if we'd really dig down
and do something that had never been done before, and
that is get rid of this bureaucracy. And I'm going
to get to the specifics. You say the same thing.
It's not done yet, and what do you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I mean, when in the election is really the opportunity
to fix the system. It is not fixing the system itself,
So it's an opportunity to fix the system and to
restore the power of democracy.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
And you know, people like.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
It's funny, how how often when these attacks occur, the
thing that they're accusing the administration of is what they
are guilty of. They're saying that things are being done unconstitutional,
but what they are doing is unconstitutional. They are guilty
of the crime of which they accuse us.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
It's always the first thing they do here's in violation
of the constitution.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
They don't even know what they're dooking. Well, they serve.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's just a conjob. It's a big con job. And
they're so bad for the country. It's so dangerous and
so bad. And the media is so bad. When I
watch ms NBC, which I don't watch much, but you
have to watch the enemy on occasion, the level of
arrogance and cheating, and they're just horrible people. These are
(26:55):
horrible people. And they start up with a constitution. They
couldn't less about the constitution. CNN likewise, I mean, I
watched them asking questions with you know, the hatred, with
the I said, why are you asking the question with
such anger? You're asking me a normal question, but you
(27:15):
see the bias. The bias is so incredible. Those two
are bad. PBS is bad, AP is bad, CBS is terrible.
I mean CBS. Now they changed an answer in Kamala.
They asked us some questions. She answered him like, you know,
a low IQ person the opposite of him, the absolute opposite.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
But she gave a horrible answer.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
They took the entire answer out and they put another
answer that she gave twenty minutes later into the I've
never even heard of that.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I thought I heard of it all.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
I'm going to just for the sake of saving time
because I could spend and I've done this.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
On radio and TV.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
I can spend an hour finding the outrageous amounts of
money being spent abroad like usaid.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
And I just want to mention a couple but I'm
going to scroll it.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Well, I guess at a high level, I think it's
what the President mentioned earlier, which is that in order
to save taxpayer money, it comes down to two things,
competence and caring.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
And when President was.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Shown the outrageous bill for the new Air Force one
and then negotiated it down. If the President had not
applied competence in caring, the price would have been fifty
percent higher, literally fifty percent higher.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
All right, remember part two of my interview tonight on
Hannity on the Fox News Channel. Then we have full
reaction to it, and we have Christy Noman a bunch
of other great people as well. Listen, I want to
remind you President Trump is back. Good news, and it
could be great for gold and silver. Ever since I
was able to start saving money, somebody advised me, and
I'm glad they did. You know, put a percentage of
(28:57):
your portfolio in golden soil. And I've been doing it
ever since, and I do it today and my company
that I use is gold Co. Now, in Trump's first term,
the price of gold went up a whopping fifty three percent.
The price of silver went up fifty one percent. Now
I don't, I can't. I don't have a crystal ball.
I can't tell you what's going to happen in the
next four years. Last year, you know, Gold's set record
(29:20):
after record after record, ending on a record high. Now,
gold and silver historically have been used as a store
of value. That's happened for centuries. The government can't easily
easily manipulate them, and they're known as a hedge against
market risk and inflation. And when I buy gold and
silver today, and I do, I get mine from my friends.
(29:43):
My partner's a gold coll They're a top rated precious
metals company and they support this show and they've helped
hardworking Americans purchase over three billion dollars in gold and silver.
