- 1:24Speaker 2: It's like legalized comedy, Yeah, legalized comedy.
- 1:30Speaker 4: And we've we've shifted the entire culture in just the
- 1:32Speaker 4: last few months.
- 1:33Speaker 3: The whole culture of.
- 1:34Speaker 4: This country has shifted dramatically just because of that election.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:39Speaker 2: You know, freedom of speech, having you know, having fun again.
- 1:44Speaker 1: It seems like we should have we should have a
- 1:46Speaker 1: good time, you know.
- 1:47Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's a great time. Everybody in this
- 1:49Speaker 3: place is so excited. And yeah, I haven't.
- 1:51Speaker 4: I mean when you talk to conservatives, everybody's happy.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Yeah, and everybody.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Feels this great sense of relief because we were going
- 1:57Speaker 4: to hell for about four years.
- 1:58Speaker 1: It really felt bad.
- 1:59Speaker 4: Yeah, especially toward the end, it felt really bad.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I thought were I thought we were
- 2:05Speaker 2: sort of heading for a point and overturn really, you know,
- 2:09Speaker 2: until That's why I was so essential that President Trump
- 2:12Speaker 2: win the election and uh, and that there will be
- 2:16Speaker 2: a Republican majority in the House of Senate, which, thanks to.
- 2:19Speaker 1: You, would that that has been accomplished.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Want to ask you one of the biggest questions I
- 2:25Speaker 4: have for you is, and you've you've been you know politically,
- 2:27Speaker 4: you weren't really on one side or the other for
- 2:29Speaker 4: a long time.
- 2:29Speaker 3: You're a businessman.
- 2:30Speaker 4: A lot of people stay away from it. Now you're
- 2:32Speaker 4: on a side, and you've chosen to decide. You're sitting
- 2:34Speaker 4: here in a maga hat.
- 2:35Speaker 3: What what's it? How did that happen? What was the moment?
- 2:39Speaker 2: You know, dark gothic magas, that's a good one.
- 2:45Speaker 3: What was there a specific moment? Was there a moment
- 2:47Speaker 3: that it all changed?
- 2:50Speaker 1: Yeah, when I realized it was a fool, But no,
- 2:55Speaker 1: I was.
- 2:55Speaker 2: I guess uh yeah, I mean i'd say, like its
- 3:00Speaker 2: politically neutral for for quite a while, you know, you know.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Leaning a little democrat. You know, how do you go
- 3:09Speaker 1: from this?
- 3:13Speaker 3: Well, did they go crazy?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 3:15Speaker 5: They did.
- 3:15Speaker 1: They did go crazy and they were crazy. No, I
- 3:17Speaker 1: mean the whole cancel culture, and.
- 3:21Speaker 2: You know, it's trying to stuff freedom of speech and
- 3:26Speaker 2: in fringe upon just in general, in fringe upon people's
- 3:29Speaker 2: personal freedoms. You know, they just want state control, state
- 3:34Speaker 2: control of what you say. They want to you know,
- 3:37Speaker 2: take away your your guns and the reason why, take
- 3:42Speaker 2: all your vuns. So like there's nothing you do to
- 3:44Speaker 2: oppose them. So it's sort of like, you know, I
- 3:48Speaker 2: just I just like we just need to restore the
- 3:51Speaker 2: fundamental elements of what made America great, which is a
- 3:55Speaker 2: freedom and opportunity.
- 3:58Speaker 4: We're seeing a lot of these freedoms disappearing in the West.
- 4:00Speaker 4: It's it's not just about America we're watching. We're all
- 4:03Speaker 4: watching Europe and knowing that they're about fifty hundred years
- 4:05Speaker 4: ahead of us, right because they got an early start,
- 4:07Speaker 4: and we're watching how they're devolving, and you're trying to
- 4:09Speaker 4: save it from happening here.
- 4:11Speaker 1: No.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I mean in Europe they put people in prison for memes. Yeah,
- 4:15Speaker 2: you know, I'm like, that's insane.
- 4:18Speaker 3: And they're collapsing.
- 4:18Speaker 4: I mean, there's a society is it's a collapsing society.
- 4:21Speaker 4: It feels that way. It feels like France was nicer
- 4:24Speaker 4: fifty years ago than it is today.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:26Speaker 3: I don't think you can question that.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Yeah, so, but yeah, I mean really nice. I me,
- 4:42Speaker 1: I mean, I really I really just wanted to do.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Useful things, like you know, basically build products, you know,
- 4:50Speaker 2: provide products and services that are that are good and
- 4:54Speaker 2: uh that I wasn't really like that interested in being political.
- 4:59Speaker 2: It's just like there was at a certain point no choice.
- 5:03Speaker 4: So yeah, can I ask you what on the same
- 5:07Speaker 4: side of that coin, what's it like from going neutral
- 5:10Speaker 4: to being vilified, largely villafied by the media.
- 5:14Speaker 1: You're what, no, really, I.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Mean to turn on some of these channels, brother, I
- 5:20Speaker 4: mean they're angry.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Does it bother you at all?
- 5:24Speaker 1: This?
- 5:26Speaker 2: I mean when they're chanting for my death, I suppose
- 5:29Speaker 2: that's a little yeah good, but then like the song
- 5:33Speaker 2: is not even that good, and that it's like, like
- 5:36Speaker 2: you call that a death chant.
- 5:37Speaker 1: That's nothing.
- 5:39Speaker 3: They've been singing a lot of good music.
- 5:41Speaker 1: There's a lot of music lately. It's not good music.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say that they're you know, watching what
- 5:46Speaker 4: you're doing with those is just that people love it.
- 5:49Speaker 3: I mean, I've always looked at the government, and I've
- 5:55Speaker 3: always looked at the government.
- 5:56Speaker 4: I've seen this big machine that and you just know
- 5:59Speaker 4: that the waste because they don't care. Nobody could there's
- 6:02Speaker 4: more money coming, they don't care.
- 6:03Speaker 3: You're cutting all this out.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Everybody in this country knows that the government is full
- 6:07Speaker 4: of waste, fraud.
- 6:08Speaker 1: And abuse.
- 6:09Speaker 4: And you're doing the work and the Americans love it.
- 6:12Speaker 4: Watching their reaction politically to this, I can't believe how
- 6:15Speaker 4: bad they are responding to this. I don't know how
- 6:18Speaker 4: you're gonna sit there and scream and complain because they're
- 6:22Speaker 4: cutting waste out of the government and try to win
- 6:24Speaker 4: another election.
- 6:24Speaker 3: How do you try to win on them?
- 6:27Speaker 2: Well, at this point, I'm like, I'm not sure how
- 6:29Speaker 2: much of the left is even real?
- 6:31Speaker 1: You know?
- 6:33Speaker 3: How much was propped up by our money? You know?
- 6:35Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 6:36Speaker 2: Yeah, like literally you see like these these sort of
- 6:38Speaker 2: fake rallies where it's like hardly any any people, and
- 6:42Speaker 2: the media will like frame it and like you know,
- 6:44Speaker 2: get full six people you know in the frame, but
- 6:47Speaker 2: it's like nobody else is there, like just it's it
- 6:49Speaker 2: doesn't have popular support, but but there's But then you
- 6:56Speaker 2: learn that like this hundreds of billions of dollars going
- 6:58Speaker 2: to be so called NGO.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh that that that.
- 7:02Speaker 2: And it's your tax dollars that are funding things that
- 7:05Speaker 2: are fundamentally anti American and the propping up their narrative.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of that government money has been propping
- 7:10Speaker 4: up a left that I don't think is as strong
- 7:11Speaker 4: as they made it seem.
- 7:13Speaker 2: In fact, a massive amount of of your tax dollars
- 7:16Speaker 2: is going to legacy media companies.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Yes, uh, directly from the from the from the government.
- 7:21Speaker 3: The government wants to take over media.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Yeah, it's terrible.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why we have X.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Why you spend forty four billion dollars. I mean there's
- 7:28Speaker 4: a lot of money, I mean, more than it was
- 7:31Speaker 4: probably worth, but it had.
- 7:32Speaker 1: There was a message freedom is priceless, priceless.
- 7:35Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Yeah, probably one of the most important investments this country's
- 7:42Speaker 4: ever seen.
- 7:43Speaker 3: If you've got to protect the First.
- 7:44Speaker 4: Amendment, it's not much more important than that.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I got a lot of criticism and
- 7:50Speaker 2: Puel said, well that proves he is a huge idiot
- 7:53Speaker 2: from a you know, like look, you know you voted.
- 7:56Speaker 1: For whatever forty four billion dollars.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Now it's worth like eight cents, and but you.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Know that's that.
- 8:05Speaker 2: But but the yeah, it was essentially to you know,
- 8:11Speaker 2: by freedom of expression.
- 8:15Speaker 1: And yes, that's gone. It's all over. It's all over. Yeah,
- 8:20Speaker 1: the tyranny is really quick after that. Yeah, I mean, like.
- 8:23Speaker 2: You know, it's all all the sort of federal money
- 8:27Speaker 2: going to media companies is what what helps explain why
- 8:33Speaker 2: the legacy media all says the same thing at the
- 8:36Speaker 2: same time. Yeah, like this is it like it's like weird,
- 8:40Speaker 2: like you can put them up where it's like you know, like.
- 8:42Speaker 4: When they their mouthpieces for for the state, for the state.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Yes, and that's that's what we've come to know.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Yeah, scary and I like that being where they where
- 8:52Speaker 2: they because they're always saying, like threat.
- 8:54Speaker 1: To our democracy?
- 8:55Speaker 2: Is that threat to But if you just replaced democracy
- 8:58Speaker 2: with bureaucracy.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.
- 9:01Speaker 3: It makes perfect sense.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Yeah, bigres to the bureaucracy.
- 9:05Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Let's talk about let's talk about these dose dividend checks
- 9:09Speaker 4: that everybody's talking about this week. And I know you
- 9:11Speaker 4: tweeted out that you're gonna does everybody want like a
- 9:13Speaker 4: five thousand dollars check in the mail? Sounds kind of good, right,
- 9:16Speaker 4: And and the best part about it would be knowing
- 9:18Speaker 4: where it came from.
- 9:19Speaker 3: That that's five grand that you sent them last year.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Totally, it's it's it's it's money that's taken away from
- 9:23Speaker 2: from things that are destructive to the country. That and
- 9:26Speaker 2: from organizations that hate you. To you, that's awesome.
- 9:30Speaker 3: It does it seem I mean, have you talked.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I mean that's glorious.
- 9:33Speaker 2: That's like the spoils of battle, you know, I like
- 9:38Speaker 2: that is.
- 9:39Speaker 1: There is there traction on that yeah.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, uh yeah, I took the president he's
- 9:45Speaker 2: supportive of that, and so it sounds like, you know,
- 9:48Speaker 2: that's something we're gonna do.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Yep.
- 9:50Speaker 2: So as we're fining savings, that's going to translate directly
- 9:53Speaker 2: to reductions in attacks.
- 9:55Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean I think they fired six thousand
- 9:58Speaker 4: people at the I R S today. Yeah, And I
- 10:02Speaker 4: think Letnik said last night that they're talking about shutting
- 10:04Speaker 4: down the IRS, and I think it's fair. I think
- 10:14Speaker 4: people should realize this is I mean the amount of
- 10:16Speaker 4: money that we said we send Washington like five or
- 10:17Speaker 4: six trillion a year, that is such an ungodly amount
- 10:20Speaker 4: of money. I mean what they say, like a trillion
- 10:23Speaker 4: seconds is like thirty years or something like that. I
- 10:25Speaker 4: mean that's how much we send them, and they seem
- 10:27Speaker 4: to never have enough.
- 10:28Speaker 3: There must be a lot you can cut.
- 10:30Speaker 1: No, absolutely.
- 10:32Speaker 2: People ask me, what's the most surprising thing that you've
- 10:34Speaker 2: encountered when you go to DC, you know, when you're
- 10:37Speaker 2: in DC, and I said, well, the most surprising thing
- 10:39Speaker 2: is the scale of the expenditures and actually how easy
- 10:44Speaker 2: it is to with just just when you add caring
- 10:49Speaker 2: and competence where it was absent before you can actually
- 10:53Speaker 2: save billions of dollars sometimes in an hour.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild.
- 11:00Speaker 4: And then they scoff at it and then say, oh,
- 11:02Speaker 4: a few billion here there. I mean, the way they're
- 11:03Speaker 4: talking about it, you can see they don't care. It's
- 11:07Speaker 4: it's so it's such a little money compared to how
- 11:09Speaker 4: much they're used to wasting.
- 11:10Speaker 1: That's what's really scary.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean, it's exactly, but obviously it's it's
- 11:14Speaker 2: it just shows that they really lack empathy for the
- 11:18Speaker 2: average taxpayer who's working hard, paying paying taxes. And then
- 11:21Speaker 2: and then they say, oh, a million dollars doesn't matter.
- 11:23Speaker 1: I'm like, I think it ratters a lot. Yeah, people,
- 11:26Speaker 1: you know, I mean, what are you talking about.
- 11:28Speaker 3: I'd like to have it. Let me ask you a question.
- 11:32Speaker 3: I you know, I know the president fairly well.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Watched him survive two assassination attempts, the second.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Had the first one not happened, the second one.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Would have gotten them.
- 11:41Speaker 4: You know, it was very because without those extra guys,
- 11:43Speaker 4: they would have never seen that gun poking through the
- 11:45Speaker 4: fence at the golf course.
- 11:47Speaker 2: I saw that the crew that the crew that you
- 11:49Speaker 2: mind blowing that this has happened I mean it just
- 11:51Speaker 2: and what, by the way, why do we still learn.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Nothing about that guy in Butler? What's going on? But
- 11:58Speaker 1: he's cash is going to get to the bottom of it.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. Well way, yeah, confirm confirmed just
- 12:08Speaker 4: a couple of hours ago. But I saw that the
- 12:10Speaker 4: security detail that you had come in is enormous.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Well that enormous. Maybe it should be vag I think you.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Could probably afford it.
- 12:18Speaker 4: But I mean, how concerned are you about your safety dealing?
- 12:21Speaker 4: I mean it's you are you are a wanted man?
- 12:24Speaker 1: Are you?
- 12:25Speaker 3: Are you?
- 12:26Speaker 1: So?
- 12:28Speaker 2: I look, I'm open to ideas for improving security. I
- 12:31Speaker 2: have to tell you, like, I don't actually have a
- 12:34Speaker 2: death wish, I think, but but you know, it's not
- 12:39Speaker 2: that easy. So uh yeah, I mean but I have
- 12:43Speaker 2: like I've had even like people like President Bokelly from
- 12:46Speaker 2: El Salvador who managed to put in prison like like
- 12:49Speaker 2: one hundred thousand like murderous thugs. And he was like
- 12:53Speaker 2: he told me, He's like, I'm worried about your security.
- 12:55Speaker 1: I'm like, you're you're worried about my security. I'm like, what, okay,
- 13:00Speaker 1: do you know?
- 13:01Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, talk about guts to do that down there?
- 13:03Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, totally and survive.
- 13:05Speaker 2: I'm like, I was like, how did you put all
- 13:08Speaker 2: those thugs in prison without dying?
- 13:10Speaker 1: Because things like that would have been not easy.
- 13:12Speaker 4: You know. Well, there's the president is one of his
- 13:15Speaker 4: top attorneys is down investigating I guess Chuck Schumer for
- 13:17Speaker 4: threats against Skotis Congressman. The Democrats side, we're saying, you know,
- 13:22Speaker 4: basically saying you're going.
- 13:23Speaker 3: To bring a war to you, like a fight to you.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I mean the rhetoric.
- 13:28Speaker 4: You guys are screwing with things that are not supposed
- 13:30Speaker 4: to be messed with you. We're fighting a lot of
- 13:32Speaker 4: people that really don't want that to happen.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Yeah, we're fighting matrix big time here. Yeah, but has
- 13:37Speaker 2: got to be done. Yeah, and are.
- 13:42Speaker 4: It certainly does. What's what's going on with tell us
- 13:45Speaker 4: about Fort Knox. Yeah, there's Kentucky. It's a military base.
- 13:50Speaker 4: It's a ton of gold, tons and tons and tons.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Five thousand tons of gold or.
- 13:55Speaker 4: Are there in the ground and like this, I mean,
- 13:57Speaker 4: it's a very secure thing.
- 13:59Speaker 2: We'll want to see it, you know, I'd love to
- 14:01Speaker 2: see it, like this is your gold.
- 14:02Speaker 1: By the way, it's the public's goal.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Do you think it's not there.
- 14:07Speaker 1: I don't know, but we just want to see it.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to go see it and just make
- 14:11Speaker 2: sure like somebody to just spray paint some letter or something.
- 14:13Speaker 3: You know, yeah, like is this real gold?
- 14:16Speaker 1: You know, I have to bite the bar, you know, didn't.
- 14:20Speaker 2: But I think, honestly, you know, part of this also
- 14:23Speaker 2: is just like let's let's you know, let's have some
- 14:25Speaker 2: fun and and and uh you know, like like I said,
- 14:29Speaker 2: this this all this gold at Fort Knox. It's the
- 14:31Speaker 2: public's goal, it's your goal. So like I think you
- 14:35Speaker 2: have like a right to see it.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Take a tour, you know. Yeah, I think we should
- 14:39Speaker 1: have to do it. Do it.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Turned then the President last night was like that's not I
- 14:43Speaker 2: think he's your favorite of it.
- 14:44Speaker 1: That'd be cool. And then we like it should be
- 14:46Speaker 1: like a live tour, like you can see what's going on.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Open the door, like what's behind it? Well, and there's
- 14:52Speaker 1: you know, I think i'd watch that.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Oh you kidding? Yeah, I mean, what is what is
- 14:57Speaker 3: five thousand tons of food? How big is it?
- 15:00Speaker 1: Is it?
- 15:01Speaker 3: The size of it?
- 15:01Speaker 1: This is gonna be pretty big.
- 15:03Speaker 2: You know, it's got to be a lot of there's
- 15:04Speaker 2: some other stuff in there, like it's what walk around like,
- 15:06Speaker 2: I don't know if I get some other stuff in there?
- 15:08Speaker 3: Are are you thinking about auditing the Federal Reserve as.
- 15:10Speaker 4: Well, which is obviously yeah, sure, regulatory economy. I I
- 15:17Speaker 4: imagine you think the waste has got to be everywhere?
- 15:20Speaker 1: Yeah, no, waste.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Waste is pretty much where people ask how can you
- 15:22Speaker 2: find waste in like in DC? I'm like, look, it's
- 15:25Speaker 2: like being in a room, uh created and this target,
- 15:28Speaker 2: the wall, the roofs, and the floor are old targets.
- 15:31Speaker 2: So it's like you're gonna close rise and go shoot
- 15:33Speaker 2: in any direction.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Because you can't miss, you know.
- 15:39Speaker 2: So it's it's it's pretty wild, like like you just
- 15:41Speaker 2: push on things a little bit and you say.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Billions of dollars like just a little bit. You know,
- 15:46Speaker 1: it's wild.
- 15:46Speaker 3: It's scary, isn't it.
- 15:48Speaker 2: That's why I say it, like it really is underrated.
- 15:50Speaker 2: If you add carrying and competence, how much things improve
- 15:56Speaker 2: and you know, and we we just find so many
- 15:59Speaker 2: totally crazy things, which you know, obviously we're sharing with
- 16:02Speaker 2: the public. We post everything we learn, you know, just
- 16:06Speaker 2: you know, so you.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Can see it. You know, what do you I mean?
- 16:10Speaker 1: Like it's like, isn't it, Like it's.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Totally wild, Like we didn't just we just did like
- 16:15Speaker 2: a check the database on Social Security, Like he says,
- 16:18Speaker 2: how many Americans alive Americans eligible for Social Security are there?
- 16:24Speaker 2: And according to the database, it's over four hundred million,
- 16:26Speaker 2: And we're like, wait a second.
- 16:30Speaker 3: And how many are how many are again? Yeah?
- 16:33Speaker 2: And then like we found like one person in there
- 16:35Speaker 2: is like three hundred and sixty years old.
- 16:37Speaker 1: I'm like, what do they know?
- 16:40Speaker 2: You know, the America doesn't exist before at that time.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Like so we were colonies. You know.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Maybe it's just me, but I think it's a red flag.
- 16:48Speaker 1: I don't know, But are.
- 16:51Speaker 4: There indications that those that there were checks going to
- 16:54Speaker 4: those people, any.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Of those people?
- 16:57Speaker 1: Well?
- 16:57Speaker 3: Yes, I guess the question, right.
- 17:00Speaker 4: I mean, I get the Social Security Administration's dumb, but
- 17:02Speaker 4: are they paying these people?
- 17:03Speaker 3: Are they that dumb?
- 17:04Speaker 1: I don't know, a.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Bunch of money is going out from the Social Security
- 17:07Speaker 2: Administration and in fact from all entitled programs seventy.
- 17:11Speaker 4: Billion and waste in like seven years, it's ten billion
- 17:13Speaker 4: a year.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Well, I think the fraudulent.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Payments the rough estimate from General Government Accountability officers as
- 17:22Speaker 2: over five hundred billion dollars a forty year for five
- 17:26Speaker 2: hundred billion.
- 17:28Speaker 5: And how old the time per year per year on
- 17:32Speaker 5: Social Security?
- 17:32Speaker 2: No, No, on all government, on all entitlements, all entitlements.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it sort of actually makes sense when you look
- 17:41Speaker 2: at the thing from a top level and say, like, okay,
- 17:43Speaker 2: the seven trillion dollars was spending by the government, what
- 17:46Speaker 2: percentage do you think is fraudulent? Okay, exactly, Like a
- 17:53Speaker 2: conservative estimate of the seven trillion would be ten percent.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Conservative probably will hire that exactly. It's like a quarter
- 18:01Speaker 1: hunt a dollar, right, But if the fraud's.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Only ten percent of seven trillion, you've got seven hundred
- 18:06Speaker 2: billion dollars of fraud.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:09Speaker 2: And by the way, it's like really easy to take
- 18:11Speaker 2: advantage of the federal government, very easy.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Easy.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Look at COVID.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Yes, everybody got reach during COVID.
- 18:17Speaker 1: I mean, look at all these stars.
- 18:18Speaker 3: I mean it's unbelievable.
- 18:22Speaker 2: It looks like in terms of COVID payments, there was
- 18:26Speaker 2: something like two hundred billion dollars of COVID payment fraud.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Taken by frauds's out of the country.
- 18:33Speaker 2: That's like, I think we've listening. There's gonna be FORUDA
- 18:36Speaker 2: should a least be domestic. So you know, but they
- 18:42Speaker 2: managed to get two hundred billion dollars out of the country.
- 18:44Speaker 1: I'm like, what didn't we notice that?
- 18:49Speaker 3: Let me ask you, let's do immigration here for a second.
- 18:52Speaker 4: You know, there's this move now that the Trump's latest
- 18:55Speaker 4: thing is that he cut He's gonna cut funding any
- 18:58Speaker 4: kind of money that ends up in the hands of
- 19:00Speaker 4: illegal immigrants.
- 19:01Speaker 3: So if you're funding these sanctuary.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Cities and states, that's how they thrive, right, They're paying
- 19:04Speaker 4: for these hotels, that's all federal money. If you've got
- 19:06Speaker 4: a hotel in your city in New York, you got
- 19:08Speaker 4: all these hotels full of migrants, that's not state money,
- 19:10Speaker 4: that's a Feds.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Are covering that.
- 19:12Speaker 3: He's gonna cut all that. It's really hard to deport
- 19:14Speaker 3: fifteen million people.
- 19:16Speaker 4: And it seems like the move now is let's see
- 19:18Speaker 4: if we especially at the rate that we're going, it
- 19:19Speaker 4: seems like.
- 19:20Speaker 5: The move now is let's make it so that they
- 19:22Speaker 5: leave on their own.
- 19:23Speaker 4: If there's no longer a dual system for them, if
- 19:25Speaker 4: they can't get their hands on hotel rooms and money,
- 19:27Speaker 4: they're going to go back, especially if there's no work.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Well.
- 19:31Speaker 2: I think it's really important for people that understand that
- 19:34Speaker 2: the Biden administration sent any possible money that they could.
- 19:39Speaker 1: They could. If there was money they could send to.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Facilitate and amplify illegal immigration, they sent it. Okay, they
- 19:48Speaker 2: took money from FEMA meantful helping Americans in distress and
- 19:54Speaker 2: sent that money to luxury hotels for legal immigrants.
- 19:57Speaker 1: In New York an outrage.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Yea, they actually did that, and only that even after
- 20:08Speaker 2: the President signed an executive order saying it has to
- 20:10Speaker 2: stop the famous the sort of whatever deep state bureaucrats
- 20:15Speaker 2: still still press send on eighty million dollars last week.
- 20:20Speaker 1: To go to the Roosevelt Hotel in New York and
- 20:22Speaker 1: other places last week.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Now and now they're mad that got stopped and they're
- 20:28Speaker 2: like trying to sue to have it be restored.
- 20:31Speaker 1: It's like the gumption you.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Think they're creating a new voter classes.
- 20:34Speaker 4: Would you think that was the goal when they open
- 20:36Speaker 4: up orders for four years, create a new voter class
- 20:38Speaker 4: and get them citizenship, get them in, Yeah, vote.
- 20:42Speaker 2: A lot of these things like you don't actually have
- 20:44Speaker 2: to assume some grand conspiracy. You just need to look
- 20:46Speaker 2: at basic incentives benefits. So if the incentives fundamentally, if
- 20:53Speaker 2: the probability that an illegal is going to vote Democrat
- 20:56Speaker 2: at some point, whether it's a cheating but eventually they
- 21:01Speaker 2: can become citizens.
- 21:02Speaker 1: But if probability is like eighty ninety.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Percent, just look at California, which is the super majority
- 21:06Speaker 2: dem and then the incentive is to maximize the number
- 21:12Speaker 2: of illegals in the country. That is why the Biding
- 21:15Speaker 2: administration was pushing to get in as many illegals as
- 21:19Speaker 2: possible and spend every dollar possible to get as many
- 21:23Speaker 2: because every one of them is a customer, everyone is
- 21:25Speaker 2: a voter.
- 21:25Speaker 1: Yeah, and so the whole thing is a giant.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Voter importation scam, pretty obvious, very obvious. And then moreover
- 21:35Speaker 2: then they actually created the CVP one voter app thing.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Where they were which is like where they could they
- 21:42Speaker 2: were literally fly people in. It's not like at the
- 21:44Speaker 2: point in which you know, people being flown in at
- 21:48Speaker 2: your expense.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Sending planes wall up doesn't fly them over the board
- 21:52Speaker 4: literally flying them in. No other no other country in
- 21:55Speaker 4: the world would do something like this. Nobody is as stupid.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we found that it was like a
- 21:59Speaker 2: hundred million dollar contract given to some guy in London
- 22:05Speaker 2: actually oddly, you know, for the CVP one app So
- 22:10Speaker 2: then so they're flying illegals into the swing states. And
- 22:17Speaker 2: if you've got like a modulive victory of maybe twenty
- 22:20Speaker 2: thousand people and you fly two hundred thousand illegals into
- 22:24Speaker 2: that state, it's not.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Going to be a swing state. Belong.
- 22:28Speaker 4: Change the numbers eventually, yeah, maybe in four eight years exactly.
- 22:31Speaker 1: It's just a matter of it's a long game. It's
- 22:33Speaker 1: just a matter of time.
- 22:35Speaker 2: So it might take like a year for an asyunment
- 22:37Speaker 2: securse something to get on to get a green card,
- 22:40Speaker 2: in five years for the citizenship. It's it's an investment
- 22:43Speaker 2: that is guaranteed to pay off.
- 22:45Speaker 5: Just a question of when they all remember who brought
- 22:47Speaker 5: them in and who.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Left them here exactly exactly.
- 22:48Speaker 3: I want to go back. I want to talk about
- 22:50Speaker 3: big deal.
- 22:51Speaker 2: I think a lot of people like don't quite appreciate
- 22:53Speaker 2: that this was an actual, real scam at scale to.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Tilt the scales of democracy in America.
- 23:00Speaker 4: Treasons treason, yeah, yeah, one more Biden question. I remember
- 23:06Speaker 4: when you know, when they would do the electric car stuff,
- 23:08Speaker 4: they would always try to box you out even though
- 23:09Speaker 4: you have the only electric car anybody wants. Yeah, you said,
- 23:14Speaker 4: I think this week that you think that Biden left
- 23:17Speaker 4: these astronauts up in space because he didn't want to
- 23:19Speaker 4: give you an opportunity to save them, make NASA look bad,
- 23:22Speaker 4: make the private sector look better, make you look good,
- 23:25Speaker 4: you believe it?
- 23:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, so, of course I.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Kind of agree.
- 23:32Speaker 4: I mean, why would you want to let you help
- 23:34Speaker 4: them come down when you're supporting the president.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Biden administration was attacking the next level, I mean the
- 23:41Speaker 2: departmatists of justice or injustice under the Biden administration was Yeah,
- 23:46Speaker 2: I mean, there was suing SpaceX's they're suing space x
- 23:50Speaker 2: for not hiring asylum seekers and we're like, but it's
- 23:55Speaker 2: actually illegal for us to hire up silent sekerts because
- 23:57Speaker 2: we're rocket technology. She is covered under it TAR rules,
- 24:03Speaker 2: which is that means it's an advanced weapons technology, and
- 24:06Speaker 2: so we can only hire permanent residents or green or
- 24:09Speaker 2: or citizens like so, we're damned if we do it,
- 24:12Speaker 2: damned if we don't. We still like, so, how can
- 24:16Speaker 2: they sue us for not hiring a sound seekers when
- 24:19Speaker 2: it's actually illegal for us to do so? But nonetheless
- 24:21Speaker 2: there was a big Department of Justice or Injustice case
- 24:23Speaker 2: about this against SpaceX. So obviously it was an antagonistic situation.
- 24:30Speaker 2: And those astronauts were supposed to be up there for
- 24:32Speaker 2: eight days and now they're up there for eight months.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Does that make any sense? And we obviously could have
- 24:39Speaker 2: brought them back sooner, but they didn't want it to
- 24:41Speaker 2: didn't want anyone who supported President Trump to look good. Basically, Yeah,
- 24:46Speaker 2: that's the that's the issue.
- 24:51Speaker 4: A lot of them are saying right now that the
- 24:52Speaker 4: reason that you want to get into Social Security, that
- 24:55Speaker 4: you want to get into all of these different into
- 24:56Speaker 4: Treasury and things like that, is that you're looking for
- 24:58Speaker 4: personal information and you're trying to make more money.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:01Speaker 4: I've never met anybody as rich as you that cared
- 25:04Speaker 4: less about money in my life. Every time I hear
- 25:06Speaker 4: a story about you, you're sleeping on a couch of
- 25:08Speaker 4: some other guy in a city.
- 25:10Speaker 3: That you could buy the entire thing.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not.
- 25:13Speaker 3: I don't think you care about money, dude.
- 25:14Speaker 1: No, Actually, I I.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Mean listen, like if I if I steal some Social Security,
- 25:22Speaker 2: I can finally buy nice things.
- 25:24Speaker 4: Yeah, and and and on that same question, they're also
- 25:31Speaker 4: talking about you guys are gonna end social Security, You're
- 25:34Speaker 4: gonna end Medicare, You're gonna end these things. I don't
- 25:37Speaker 4: imagine that conversation has been head with the president.
- 25:39Speaker 3: And that's that's the plan.
- 25:40Speaker 2: No, in fact, the action instead we're taking, with the
- 25:44Speaker 2: support of the President and the support of the agencies,
- 25:46Speaker 2: is what will save Medicare, what will save social Security?
- 25:55Speaker 2: And and it's it's because if the country goes in solvent,
- 26:01Speaker 2: if if if all the if all the money is
- 26:03Speaker 2: just spent on paying interest on debt, there's no money
- 26:06Speaker 2: left for anything. So that's that's the reason I'm doing this,
- 26:09Speaker 2: is because I'm I was looking at the big picture
- 26:11Speaker 2: here and it's like, man our dat's getting out of control. Uh,
- 26:14Speaker 2: the the interest payments, the interest on the national debt
- 26:18Speaker 2: now exceeds the entire Defense Department budget.
- 26:20Speaker 3: Trillion a year. Interest just to carry the money that
- 26:23Speaker 3: we owe is a trillion a year.
- 26:25Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, rising rapidly. It's so so like it's I mean,
- 26:29Speaker 2: a country is not different from a person. Country overspends,
- 26:32Speaker 2: country goes bankrupt. Same what the same as a person
- 26:34Speaker 2: who overspends goes bankrupt.
- 26:36Speaker 1: So it's it's not like optional to solve these things.
- 26:40Speaker 1: It's essential.
- 26:43Speaker 4: So we're gonna go back there.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Yes, we are.
- 26:47Speaker 3: A couple of minutes left here Russia. There's a huge
- 26:52Speaker 3: push from oh.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like day like yah, you know, I'm a
- 26:58Speaker 2: on the board asset of Putin.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I'm like, he can't afford me.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think you're worth more than Russia.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Think about it.
- 27:10Speaker 3: So what we're you're trying to end. You're trying to
- 27:13Speaker 3: end a war, it's all.
- 27:15Speaker 4: Any war always means you have to compromise, you have
- 27:18Speaker 4: to negotiate.
- 27:19Speaker 3: With an enemy or an adversary. That's just what it is.
- 27:22Speaker 4: And right now they are land basking the president for
- 27:26Speaker 4: trying a different method to war that they haven't been
- 27:27Speaker 4: able to end.
- 27:28Speaker 3: For three and a half years or three years.
- 27:29Speaker 4: Yeah, you know they're saying Trump's blaming Zelensky for the invasion.
- 27:34Speaker 4: How do you how do you process all of the
- 27:37Speaker 4: negativity towards him for trying to end this war?
- 27:41Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I think we should have empathy
- 27:45Speaker 2: for the people dying at the front lines. That's the
- 27:46Speaker 2: most important thing. And people have been dying, you know,
- 27:50Speaker 2: it's like, how many more years is this supposed to
- 27:54Speaker 2: go on. Yeah, and I imagine if that was your son,
- 27:57Speaker 2: your father, you know, what are they dying for?
- 28:00Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 28:00Speaker 1: What exactly arey're dying for?
- 28:02Speaker 2: That line has the line of engagement is barely moved
- 28:05Speaker 2: for two years. There's a how much people dead in
- 28:09Speaker 2: trenches for what? And I'll tell you work for what
- 28:13Speaker 2: it's like for the biggest graph machine that I've ever
- 28:15Speaker 2: seen in my life.
- 28:15Speaker 1: That's for what.
- 28:18Speaker 2: It's it's unreal Like the amount of money that is
- 28:22Speaker 2: being taken in graft and bribery is disgusting. And so
- 28:27Speaker 2: what's actually happening is that those those you know people,
- 28:32Speaker 2: those poor guys are getting sent into a meat grinder
- 28:35Speaker 2: for money. That's what's actually going on, and it needs
- 28:39Speaker 2: to stop.
- 28:40Speaker 3: And that's I mean, that's it seems. I mean, Trump
- 28:43Speaker 3: is so pragmatic on this.
- 28:45Speaker 4: He's just he's just looking at it, and he's saying,
- 28:47Speaker 4: it's Ukraine, it's not our country, it's not a NATO ally.
- 28:49Speaker 3: I just want to see people not dying. I want
- 28:51Speaker 3: to see on both sides.
- 28:53Speaker 4: I mean, think about how many young so many young
- 28:55Speaker 4: men have died in Ukraine that the army is starting
- 28:57Speaker 4: to age out the military is aging out. You get
- 28:59Speaker 4: forty and five, your old guys fighting in a war
- 29:01Speaker 4: because there's nobody left that's not killed or mained in
- 29:04Speaker 4: their twenties. That's the reality of the Think about how
- 29:07Speaker 4: many people that is. If you're a humanitarian at all,
- 29:10Speaker 4: you just got to end the war, like, no matter what,
- 29:13Speaker 4: just get it over with.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Yes, people, they need to stop dying. And uh and
- 29:19Speaker 2: the griff machine's got to stop, you know. So uh
- 29:22Speaker 2: And I think people that don't a lot of people
- 29:25Speaker 2: out there don't realize, Like the President has a lot
- 29:27Speaker 2: of empathy.
- 29:27Speaker 1: He really cares, you know, He's a good He's a
- 29:29Speaker 1: good man.
- 29:31Speaker 3: So I got one more for you.
- 29:37Speaker 5: I've been fascinated by you for a very long time.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 29:42Speaker 4: I've just I just I've never seen anybody that can,
- 29:44Speaker 4: you know, do so many things at the same time.
- 29:46Speaker 4: I mean, you've got the rockets, you got the cars.
- 29:48Speaker 4: I've always wanted to ask you, what is it like
- 29:51Speaker 4: inside your mind?
- 29:51Speaker 3: Like this is it just a thousand miles an hour?
- 29:54Speaker 3: I mean, are you is it just not? I mean,
- 29:56Speaker 3: just does it ever stop? Do you sleep? How much
- 29:58Speaker 3: do you sleep?
- 30:00Speaker 4: What's paint us a picture of inside of the mind
- 30:05Speaker 4: of a genius, Like, how do you, uh, can you
- 30:09Speaker 4: answer that question?
- 30:10Speaker 3: It's not an easy question.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I mean, my mind is a storm. Yeah, so yeah,
- 30:17Speaker 1: it's a storm.
- 30:19Speaker 2: But but I mean, let me maybe tell you something
- 30:22Speaker 2: like you're gonna ask the question, but but I think
- 30:24Speaker 2: it's worth and nonetheless maybe just just elaborating or something,
- 30:29Speaker 2: which is you know, I grew up in in South Africa,
- 30:33Speaker 2: and but my morality was informed by America. I read
- 30:39Speaker 2: comic books, you know, I played dungeons and Dragons and.
- 30:44Speaker 1: And I watched American TV shows and.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Like it seemed like America cared about being the good guys,
- 30:56Speaker 2: you know, about doing the right thing and yeah, and
- 31:03Speaker 2: that's actually pretty unusual, by the way.
- 31:07Speaker 1: It's like it's like in the world, it's very unusual.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like actual countries don't do that.
- 31:11Speaker 1: No, they don't know.
- 31:14Speaker 2: And so I was like, yeah, you know, you want
- 31:16Speaker 2: to be this good that you want to be on
- 31:17Speaker 2: the side of good, you want to care about what's right,
- 31:19Speaker 2: and and.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so that's that's uh, yeah, what I believe in.
- 31:28Speaker 1: You know.
- 31:29Speaker 3: So I gave you, I gave you a tough one
- 31:32Speaker 3: at the end.
- 31:33Speaker 1: I yeah, so yeah, that's great.
- 31:39Speaker 3: That's great. Elon Musk, all right, thank you, thank you
- 31:41Speaker 3: so much.
- 31:41Speaker 1: All right,
