uh i gotta ask you okay we have you here elon just hit the airwaves today bring
it up dude
oh man the fucking missile is in the cannon okay wow elon musk time to drop the
really big bomb
right and i thought this was going to be on iran i haven't even seen right i
haven't even seen this
one but he goes at real real donald trump is in the epstein files this is the
real reason they
have not been made public have a nice day nice signature from a south african djt
man well so
just so your audience is aware when was this what is this going to air like
tomorrow two days 45 minutes
airing now dude no i'm joking i'm joking i'm just saying like no presumably
when this comes out people
are going to know more about this than i do because i just learned about this
kind of happened on the
plane when i was coming on down here i agree let's just this is this this is
new here here's here's my
basic reaction to like all this stuff is is look first of all like absolutely
not donald trump didn't
do anything wrong with jeffrey epstein like there's the guy is whatever the
democrats and the media says
about him that's totally bs here here's my basic my basic read on it first of
all i'm the vice president
to president trump my loyalties are always going to be with the president and i
think that elon he's an
incredible entrepreneur he's actually done i think doge was really good this
sort of effort to root
out waste fraud and abuse in our country was really good and and and look man i'm
always going to be
loyal to the president and i hope that eventually elon kind of comes back into
the fold maybe that's not
possible now because he's gone so nuclear well i hope it is man because it hurt
why though do you
do you know why yeah i mean so look i think number one so um elon's new to
politics right so
his businesses are being attacked non-stop they're literally like firebombing
some of his cars and by
the way we're looking into a lot of this stuff i mean some of that stuff we're
looking into is an act
of terrorism yeah at the department of justice because i think it is an act of
terrorism so i think
part of it is this guy got into politics and it's has suffered a lot for it but
i i mean and i and i
get the frustration there and i get the frustration that i mean look congress
you got the spending bill
but the main purpose of the bill is not actually spending or cutting spending
though it does cut a
lot of spending the main purpose of the bill is to prevent the biggest tax
increase but i understand
like it's a good bill it's not a perfect bill like the process in dc if you're
a business leader you
probably get frustrated with that process because it's more you know bureaucratic
it's more slow
moving yeah so i think there's just some frustrations there um but i i really
man i think it's a huge
mistake for him to go after the president like that and i i think that if he
and the president are in
some blood feud most importantly it's going to be bad for the country but i
think it's going to be i
don't think it's going to be good for elon either but elon like did doge first
of all my first thought
was that it's a ruse right because there's a lot of times where the media will
put out a ruse or
they'll use somebody like i think the ditty thing is a ruse like it's like hey
like diverse
community stay busy with this shit while we like move all these chess pieces
right sometimes that's
what i feel like it is and maybe i'm like a pervert or whatever sorry or weird
guy sorry but
this has nothing to do with that huh but i'm not a pervert maybe you're a weird
guy you're not
a pervert i think you're a good dude well i appreciate that dude um so do you
think it was
so obviously it was the bill this is where it's happened the something about
the bill made him upset
yeah so yeah that's right that's right i mean again i i think he looked at the
bill he didn't
like it and i think it's a good bill but again there are things you can
criticize about it like
the president would be very open and say this is not a perfect bill yeah but
donald trump doesn't
get to write the bills right congress has to write the bills and you got to
work with them to try to
get something that is as good as possible okay so here's what i'll say about
the bill number one
prevents the biggest tax increase in american history it prevents it prevents
it because taxes are going to go up on
everybody in a really big way at the end of 2025 because the old tax law expires
at the end of 2025
so you're gonna hit a big tax increase we're trying to prevent that from
happening we're also trying
to do stuff okay so you got a lot of people working long overtime hours in this
economy um you know we
inherited bad inflation from joe biden so no tax on overtime no tax on tips
right we're in we're in
bob richie we're in kid rock's great restaurant his servers would not have to
pay taxes on the hard-earned tips
that they get when they're when they're busting their ass doing a good job so
when working for kid rock
man that's hard that's hard work right so i think that it's it's a good bill
and it does
a lot of good for the american people but like look elon's entitled to his
opinion i'm not saying he has
to agree with the bill or agree with everything that i'm saying i just think it's
a huge mistake
for the world's wealthiest man i think one of the most transformational
entrepreneurs ever that's elon
to be at at at this war with the world's most powerful man who i think is doing
more to save
the country than anybody i'm 40 years old anybody in my lifetime you think
about it it's a guy who
not even a year ago nearly took a bullet in the process of campaigning went
back on the horse the
next day and if you look obviously i'm biased but you look at what we've done
on the border you look
at what we've done with trade fighting back against a generation of theft of
the american dream which
is what the president's trade policies are starting to do i just think you got
to have some respect for
him and say look yeah we don't have to agree on every issue i'm talking about
if you're elon musk you
don't have to agree with us on every issue but is this war actually in the
interest of the country
i don't think so so hopefully elon figured is that figures it out comes back
into the fold i know the
president you know for for a couple days i'll tell you just you know i don't
want to reveal too many
confidences but he was getting a little frustrated feeling like some of the
criticisms were unfair
coming from elon but i think has been very restrained because the president
doesn't think
that he needs to be in a blood feud with elon musk and i actually think if elon
chilled out a little
bit everything would be fine it would help well elon also tweeted that uh he
thought that in the
second half of this year that there would be a uh the trump tariffs will cause
a recession in the
second half of this year uh now who knows what what could cause a recession in
the second half this
year it could be a build-up of our entire just history of being alive um but he's
saying this so i it
seems like and this is just me guessing and i don't know mr musk i never met mr
musk uh one time
he fed my buddy spaghetti at a party though dude that my buddy uh they were
people were raging and
shit and your buddy couldn't feed himself the spaghetti well my buddy said he
offered my buddy
some spaghetti and my buddy said yeah i'd like to have some and then it's but
only if you feed it to
me but instead but instead of getting him a plate of spaghetti he made him
something put it in his mouth
dude does your buddy know uh frederick douglas my buddy i'll say this my buddy
actually is a friend of
fdr i don't know no sorry of uh uh uh frederick god dude okay i'll ruin this
dude dude dude civics man
chill out um no uh but he said that he thinks he did but do you think that he
just thinks that there's
too many that it's not a fair bill for the people do you think elon musk is for
the people
i mean i think that he's making a mistake and going after the president okay i
think his heart is in the
good place in the right place man i do like i i think he got into this for the
right reasons i
think he's frustrated i think he's an emotional guy honestly i'm a very
emotional guy yeah like it's
it's it's the president is is is it's interesting because if you read the media
reports you wouldn't
necessarily see this he's not like quick to temper like he's not one of these
guys who flies off the
handle that's a little bit more what i'm like honestly i think that's he's
smooth man he's stoic
i don't know if that's good but yeah i get what you're saying but it's it's
like it is where it
is but but i i i think i so yeah i think elon means the best but i think he's
making a mistake
yeah got it that's my dude so elon was putting in a lot with was elon doing it
for free all that time
he was doing it for free yeah for free he was doing it for free i mean he doesn't
need money right
that's the one thing one does not right does not need so that was he i wonder
if he was expecting
anything from trump and they just couldn't figure it out i don't know i'm just
curious about it you
know i i'm kind of like you start to see how all this stuff kind of works you
know and just like
it's like yeah i like i i hear i i really do think he's disappointed about the
bill he's you know he
disagrees with some of the things that were in there he's an emotional guy look
it happens everybody
i've i've flown off the handle way worse than elon musk did in the last 24
hours oh yeah but you
know my hope is comes back says look made some mistakes didn't mean to say
everything let's smooth
it out and let's all be friends because again like i care about the country and
i think the country's
better off if the under the president's leadership elon's helping us out as
opposed to fighting the
administration i don't want him to fight the administration i know the
president doesn't
want that but here we are yeah he just tweeted a little bit ago that he felt
like 80 of the um
what was that about a third party or something he tweeted like 300 times oh
sorry never mind okay
then so it's just just a lot of tweets today just a regular day for elon so
yeah
he's obviously i mean he's definitely uh he gets a bit rogue um uh why don't we
have oh wait this is
interesting pull it up let's see it this post is from an account you muted i'm
curious who who did you mute
who is that guy is that yours it's one of your producers uh ian meal meal meal
least song oh it's
said trump should be impeached and jade eventually replace him dude that's one
vote oh my god see
this is what i'm talking about this stuff is what are you talking about campaigning
this stuff this
stuff is just not helpful again yeah oh there's definitely here's look look my
first loyalty is to
my family obviously to the constitution but politics is a place where people
stab each other in the back
yeah and you can't get anything done unless you're all on the same team and you're
actually committed
to getting stuff done together i just think like the idea that the president's
the president should be
impeached i'm sorry it's insane it's totally insane the president is doing a
good job and you can look
you're free to disagree with them right everybody's a first amendment right are
you free to disagree with
trump ever do you feel like you can of course of course i mean the the way that
i put it is
if i have a disagreement with the president then it is my job obviously to
provide the president honest
counsel like he doesn't need me to be a doormat he needs me to actually say
what i think about an
issue but when the president makes a decision man he's the general and when the
general makes a decision
everybody's go got to go and execute that order and that's kind of how i think
about my job right
really is to be a good ally and a good friend provide honest counsel to the
president but also
when a decision's made you go out and get it done does he listen to many people
or does he listen to
just one or two he listens to a ton of people it's one of the more interesting
things about his his
leadership style is if he's got a big decision to make he talks to everybody
and i think it's why he's
like in touch with normal people is because he doesn't just talk to like
congressmen or people a lot
of money he tries to talk to everybody like i've seen him ask the gardener at
mar-a-lago what he
thinks about a particular issue i've seen him ask you know the people who work
in the kitchen at the
white house what they think about an issue he's constantly trying to understand
what other people
are thinking oh i saw him ask a scottish terrier what kind of cakes they like
you know so yeah i agree
with you he's definitely always absorbing kind of information he is yeah um did
any was doge helpful
it was yeah it was and i mean look doge continues within the white house and
within the executive
of of the country i mean look you there's a lot of ways in which we are wasting
the american people's
money yeah sometimes spending it on crazy stuff sometimes spending it on like
actually counterproductive
stuff i think doge has saved already at least 170 maybe 200 billion dollars
hopefully it's going to
save more but yeah i think it was very very worthwhile money how could you ton
of money how do they not
how would you not even notice that if that much money uh there's so much i
could tell you about
this okay so one of the crazy things we all figured out like first week or so
we're in the white house
okay is there was a payment that should be stopped because the president signed
an executive orders
to stop a payment and this is like day one of the white house we're like okay
how do we stop this
payment because somebody's trying to make this payment and nobody knew where
like the computer was
that actually wired the money from the u.s taxpayer to this entity dude the the
amount of waste and the
amount of just grift and the federal government was off the charge it's still
it's it's getting better
but there's still a lot more i think we can find who was getting it i don't
know what not i don't know
one person that was getting next something extra i don't think well unless
everybody was slurping
yeah i mean a lot of people were slurping man you you look at uh you look at
what so for example
there are all these humanitarian programs that we have where we send money for
people for medicine for
food oh yeah okay but like you think i think like what i thought before i got
in the government what
most americans think is okay so we send a hundred thousand dollars to this
group to buy food for like
poor kids in africa okay and what actually happens is it's not a hundred
thousand dollars that go to
the food for the poor kids in africa right that the ngo the non-government
organization that gets that
money contracts it out to somebody else right and they subcontracted out
something there's like three or
four middlemen and what you know marco rubio who's the secretary of state he's
a very good friend
what he told me is that his best estimate after he had his team look at it is
that 88 cents of every
dollar was actually being collected by middlemen no so every dollar we were
spending humanitarian
assistance 12 cents was actually making it to people who needed it that's crazy
so there's a lot of
waste man a lot of crazy stuff
