- 0:00Speaker 1: I know every businessman. I know the good ones, the
- 0:02Speaker 1: bad ones, the smart ones, the lucky ones.
- 0:04Speaker 2: I know. This guy's a very he's a brilliant guy.
- 0:07Speaker 2: He's a great guy.
- 0:08Speaker 1: He's got tremendous imagination and scientific imagine far beyond. You know,
- 0:12Speaker 1: you keep talking about a technologist and all, but you're
- 0:15Speaker 1: much more than a technologist.
- 0:17Speaker 2: You are that. But he's also a good person. He's
- 0:20Speaker 2: a very good person, and he wants to see the
- 0:23Speaker 2: country do well. And I know a lot of.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Great business people, really great business people, but you know,
- 0:28Speaker 1: they're not really in some cases, very good people. And
- 0:32Speaker 1: I know people that would try and take advantage of
- 0:34Speaker 1: the situation. This guy's somebody that really cares for the country.
- 0:37Speaker 1: And I saw that very early on. I sort really
- 0:39Speaker 1: a long time ago when I got to know him.
- 0:41Speaker 1: He's a very different kind of a character.
- 0:43Speaker 3: If you really believe the media, become one of your
- 0:45Speaker 3: best friends.
- 0:46Speaker 4: He's working for free for you, President. I just want
- 0:49Speaker 4: to be clear about that. I don't care about that.
- 0:51Speaker 4: I know, I love I love the President.
- 0:53Speaker 5: I think I think President Trump is a good man
- 0:56Speaker 5: and he's you know, that's.
- 0:59Speaker 2: The way he said that. You know, it's something nice
- 1:01Speaker 2: about it, really is.
- 1:02Speaker 5: You know, because I mean the President has been so
- 1:07Speaker 5: unfailure attacked in the media.
- 1:09Speaker 4: It's truly outrageous.
- 1:11Speaker 5: And I've spent at this point, spent a lot of
- 1:13Speaker 5: time with president and not once have I seen him
- 1:17Speaker 5: do something that was mean or cruel or or wrong
- 1:22Speaker 5: that once.
- 1:23Speaker 3: You know, I've known him for thirty years. Yeah, and
- 1:27Speaker 3: I've never seen anybody take as much as he's taken. Yeah,
- 1:31Speaker 3: And we've discussed this and I'm like, how do you
- 1:33Speaker 3: deal with it? Well, you would say that to me,
- 1:36Speaker 3: I'm like, what do I see?
- 1:37Speaker 4: What am I going to do? Worry about it?
- 1:39Speaker 3: And you know, and then culminating into assassination attempts which
- 1:42Speaker 3: resulted in your endorsement.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Well, I was going to do it anyway, but that
- 1:46Speaker 5: was that was a septating event.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Yet it's speeded yeah a little bit. Yeah, the day
- 1:50Speaker 2: of the assassins, I didn't know that.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Yeah, I just sped it up. But I was going
- 1:54Speaker 4: to do it anyway.
- 1:55Speaker 1: I wanted somebody really smart to work with me in
- 2:00Speaker 1: terms of the country, a very important aspect because I mean,
- 2:03Speaker 1: he isn't talking about he's actually a very good businessman.
- 2:06Speaker 1: And when he talks about the executive orders, and this
- 2:08Speaker 1: is probably true for all precedents. You write an executive
- 2:12Speaker 1: order and you think it's done, you send it out.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It doesn't get done, it doesn't get implemented. They don't
- 2:16Speaker 1: implement it. They maybe they're from the last administration, and
- 2:19Speaker 1: they are.
- 2:20Speaker 2: In some cases.
- 2:21Speaker 1: You try and get them out as fast as you can.
- 2:24Speaker 1: But agency it was, when are you doing it? Get
- 2:27Speaker 1: it done, Get it done. And some guy that maybe
- 2:29Speaker 1: didn't want to do it, all of a sudden he's signing.
- 2:32Speaker 3: He just doesn't do a lot of those executive orders
- 2:36Speaker 3: have to be codified into water.
- 2:38Speaker 2: You need the Republican yea, and they will.
- 2:40Speaker 1: A lot of them will be well. Look in the meantime,
- 2:42Speaker 1: we have four years. The beauty is we have four years.
- 2:45Speaker 1: That's why I like doing it right at the beginning,
- 2:47Speaker 1: because an executive order is great.
- 2:49Speaker 4: I mean.
- 2:49Speaker 1: The one problem it's both good to bean because when
- 2:52Speaker 1: they did all these executive orders, they've canceled most of them.
- 2:55Speaker 2: They were terrible.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I mean, we're going to go radical left communists, Okay,
- 2:59Speaker 1: it was crazy.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Executive orders were so bad.
- 3:02Speaker 1: If they ever got him cdified, you'd never be able
- 3:05Speaker 1: to break them. So the damage that Biden has done
- 3:09Speaker 1: to this country, and it's not even Biden, it's the
- 3:11Speaker 1: people that circled them in the Oval office, okay, but
- 3:13Speaker 1: the damage they did to this country in terms of
- 3:17Speaker 1: let's say, open borders. You know, there's so many things,
- 3:19Speaker 1: but open borders where millions of people poured into our
- 3:23Speaker 1: country and hundreds of thousands of those people are criminals.
- 3:27Speaker 1: They're murderers, they're drug dealers, they're gang members, they're people
- 3:30Speaker 1: from prisons from all over the world. And we have
- 3:34Speaker 1: a great guy, Tom Holman, and he is doing so incredibly.
- 3:38Speaker 1: You saw the numbers. They're down like ninety six. He
- 3:42Speaker 1: is a phenomenal guy.
- 3:44Speaker 3: And that just then raises a question. You're the richest
- 3:46Speaker 3: man in the world.
- 3:47Speaker 4: You may not like that part.
- 3:49Speaker 3: You're pretty competitive there on you a long time, but
- 3:52Speaker 3: that's why.
- 3:53Speaker 2: But he's on your teeth. Well, that's true. We can't
- 3:56Speaker 2: talk that. You know.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I wanted to find somebody smarter than him. I searched
- 4:01Speaker 1: all over I just couldn't do it.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I couldn't I could really tried hard.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I couldn't find anyone smaller. Right, So we had it
- 4:09Speaker 1: for the country. But this is the settled, and we
- 4:12Speaker 1: settled on this.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Well, thanks having me, so I'm to be This is
- 4:16Speaker 3: the interesting point. This is where we are as a society.
- 4:19Speaker 2: And I.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Hate to do this too, but I'm going to do
- 4:23Speaker 3: it anyway.
- 4:23Speaker 2: You're doing all of these things.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Those nobody at those gets paid a penny.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Correct, Well, actually some people are federal employees. Okay, yeah,
- 4:32Speaker 4: they're helping.
- 4:32Speaker 5: But it's fair to say that the software engineers at
- 4:36Speaker 5: those could be earning millions of dollars a year instead
- 4:39Speaker 5: of earning a small fraction of that as federal employees.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Okay, so they're very committed people.
- 4:45Speaker 3: So you're you're committed to helping the blind, see people
- 4:49Speaker 3: with spinal cord injuries recover. Yes, you're committed to getting
- 4:53Speaker 3: to Mars. You're committed to rescue. You're going to help
- 4:56Speaker 3: rescue next month. Two astronauts that I think we're and
- 5:00Speaker 3: they dispute that in an interview.
- 5:04Speaker 4: President request or instruction.
- 5:06Speaker 5: We are accelerating the return of the astronauts, which was postponed.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Kind of to a ridiculous degree.
- 5:12Speaker 2: They had left in space.
- 5:14Speaker 3: They've been there, there was supposed to be there eight
- 5:16Speaker 3: days that there are almost three hundred Biden.
- 5:18Speaker 5: They were put Yes, they're left up there for political reasons,
- 5:21Speaker 5: which is not good.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Okay, it's not good. Now, if I had the weight
- 5:26Speaker 3: of the pressure of doing that successfully on my shoulders,
- 5:30Speaker 3: I think i'd be you know, but you we spoke
- 5:34Speaker 3: before we do this interview. You are very confident, you
- 5:37Speaker 3: think this will be a successful mission.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Well, we don't want to be complacent, but we have
- 5:41Speaker 5: brought astionaluts back from the space station many times before
- 5:44Speaker 5: and always with success.
- 5:46Speaker 4: So as long as we're not complacent.
- 5:49Speaker 2: When are they When are you going to launch?
- 5:52Speaker 4: I think it's about about four weeks to bring it back.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Four weeks.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Yeah, and we're bringing extremely cautious You now have the yes.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Well, thanks to you, they didn't have to go ahead
- 6:02Speaker 2: with Biden. He was going to leave him in space.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I think he was going to leave him in space,
- 6:07Speaker 2: so considered growing up loost in space. He didn't want
- 6:10Speaker 2: the publicity.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Can you believe it? Unbelievable?
- 6:14Speaker 3: And so I want to echo something that the president
- 6:17Speaker 3: said it then ask.
- 6:18Speaker 4: An overarching question.
- 6:21Speaker 3: So people and get hit with Hurricane Helene, they have
- 6:24Speaker 3: no communication with the outside world. You come to the rescue.
- 6:27Speaker 3: You donated that I believe you donated to the people.
- 6:30Speaker 2: He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina. He
- 6:33Speaker 2: saved a lot of lives in California after the whild California.
- 6:36Speaker 2: But I mean in North Carolina where they were really
- 6:38Speaker 2: in trouble.
- 6:39Speaker 1: They had no communication, people with nothing, they were dying
- 6:42Speaker 1: of starvation.
- 6:43Speaker 2: He saved a lot of lives in North Carolina.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Okay, now you're going to rescue astronauts and now and
- 6:52Speaker 3: again you do you do all of this. I would
- 6:55Speaker 3: think liberals would love the fact that you have the
- 6:58Speaker 3: biggest electric vehicle come being in the world.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I used to be adored by the left,
- 7:02Speaker 4: you know, not.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Anyone less so they killed that, huh, I mean less,
- 7:07Speaker 5: I really didn't. I mean, it's this whole sort of
- 7:10Speaker 5: like you know it is. They call it like Trump
- 7:12Speaker 5: duration syndrome, and I didn't. You know, you don't realize
- 7:15Speaker 5: how real this is until like it's you can't reason
- 7:18Speaker 5: with people. So like I was at a friend's birthday
- 7:21Speaker 5: party and Alley just a birthday dinner and it was
- 7:23Speaker 5: like a nice quiet dinner and everything was everyone was
- 7:25Speaker 5: behaving normally.
- 7:26Speaker 4: And then I happen to mention this.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Is before the election, like a month or two before
- 7:29Speaker 5: I have to mention the president's name. And it was
- 7:32Speaker 5: like they got shot with a dart in the jugular
- 7:34Speaker 5: that contained like methamphetamine and Raby's okay, wow, I'm like,
- 7:39Speaker 5: what is Guys like you can't have like a normal
- 7:42Speaker 5: conversation and it's like it's like that to become completely irrational.
- 7:47Speaker 3: He has no idea that if you're friends with him, yeah,
- 7:50Speaker 3: you pay a price.
- 7:51Speaker 4: You know.
- 7:52Speaker 3: It's like a walk into a restaurant in New York
- 7:54Speaker 3: and it's like half the room gets daggers and they want.
- 7:56Speaker 5: To know I Digger's level is insane. I mean, there
- 8:03Speaker 5: was like like some some invitation because so I got invite.
- 8:07Speaker 5: It like basically a big sort of damn event like
- 8:12Speaker 5: that was. But it received the invitation like the beginning
- 8:15Speaker 5: of last year and then and I still attended even
- 8:18Speaker 5: after I had endorsed President Trump, and I didn't realize
- 8:21Speaker 5: how profoundly that would affect, uh, you know, how I
- 8:26Speaker 5: was received.
- 8:29Speaker 4: I mean, I won't get into the room, and I'm
- 8:31Speaker 4: getting just the dirty.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Looks from front everyone, Like if Lukes could kill I
- 8:35Speaker 5: would have been dead several times over.
- 8:37Speaker 2: But that was nothing.
- 8:41Speaker 4: For Trump that never happened.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Right now.
- 8:43Speaker 3: You echoed something when I just met you, and it
- 8:47Speaker 3: was very similar to what new has been saying that
- 8:52Speaker 3: where he brought this country to the dance. This is
- 8:55Speaker 3: the opportunity to be transformational.
- 8:58Speaker 4: And I would argue.
- 9:01Speaker 3: The most consequential presidency if we'd really dig down and
- 9:07Speaker 3: do something that had never been done before, and that
- 9:09Speaker 3: is get rid of this bureaucracy. And I'm going to
- 9:11Speaker 3: get the specifics. You say the same thing. It's not
- 9:14Speaker 3: done yet, and what do you mean by that?
- 9:17Speaker 5: I mean winning the election is really the opportunity to
- 9:21Speaker 5: fix the system. It is not fixing the system itself.
- 9:24Speaker 5: So it's an opportunity to fix the system and to
- 9:27Speaker 5: restore the power of democracy. And you know, people like
- 9:31Speaker 5: it's funny, how how often when these attacks occur, the
- 9:35Speaker 5: thing that they're accusing the administration of is what they
- 9:38Speaker 5: are guilty of. They're saying that things are being done unconstitutional,
- 9:42Speaker 5: but what they are doing is unconstitutional. They are guilty
- 9:47Speaker 5: of the crime of which they accuse us. I guess
- 9:49Speaker 5: at a high level, I think it's what the President
- 9:52Speaker 5: mentioned earlier, which is that in order to save taxpayer money,
- 9:57Speaker 5: it comes down to two things, competence and caring. And
- 10:02Speaker 5: when President was shown the outrageous bill for the new
- 10:05Speaker 5: Air Force one and then negotiated it down, if the
- 10:10Speaker 5: President had not applied competence and caring, the price would
- 10:14Speaker 5: have been fifty percent higher, literally fifty percent higher. The
- 10:19Speaker 5: president cared, the President was competent, the price was not
- 10:23Speaker 5: fifty percent higher as the results. And so when you
- 10:26Speaker 5: add more competence and carrying, you get a better deal
- 10:29Speaker 5: for the American people.
- 10:30Speaker 2: But we could take we were talking about this yesterday.
- 10:32Speaker 1: I could take give me thousands of bills, and I
- 10:35Speaker 1: could pick anyone of us.
- 10:36Speaker 2: I could take all thousand.
- 10:38Speaker 1: And let's say it's a bill for five thousand dollars,
- 10:42Speaker 1: just five thousand, and it's done by some bureaucret And
- 10:46Speaker 1: if he would say, I'll give you three, I don't
- 10:48Speaker 1: want to pay you five.
- 10:49Speaker 2: It's too high. I'll give you three.
- 10:51Speaker 1: But they don't do that. If a guy sends it
- 10:53Speaker 1: a bill for five thousand, they pay five thousand. They
- 10:55Speaker 1: expect to be cut. Everybody expects to be cut. When
- 10:58Speaker 1: you send in a bill, you expect to be cut,
- 10:59Speaker 1: they said, than the bill higher. For the most part,
- 11:01Speaker 1: this is true with lawyers legal fees. When they send
- 11:04Speaker 1: it in legal fees, I can cut I wish I
- 11:06Speaker 1: had the time, I would say so, but I could
- 11:09Speaker 1: cut these bills in half, much better than half. But
- 11:13Speaker 1: you offer people a much lower number because you know
- 11:18Speaker 1: they actually put fat I'm not even saying it's like
- 11:20Speaker 1: a way of business. They put more on because they
- 11:23Speaker 1: expect to be negotia. When you send it a bill
- 11:25Speaker 1: to the government. There's nobody in negotia. You send it
- 11:28Speaker 1: a bill for ten thousand dollars and they send you
- 11:30Speaker 1: a checkpack for ten thousand dollars. If you would call
- 11:33Speaker 1: them and said, we'll give you five. No, no, no,
- 11:35Speaker 1: I need more than five. We'll give you five. I'm
- 11:38Speaker 1: not getting pay any more than five. I make it six. No,
- 11:41Speaker 1: I'm not going to make it six, and you'll settle
- 11:43Speaker 1: for fifty five hundred dollars. You've just cut the bill
- 11:45Speaker 1: almost in half, and it took like two minutes. But
- 11:49Speaker 1: none of that's that's caring. No, it's not even the
- 11:52Speaker 1: art of the deal. It's carrying.
- 11:53Speaker 2: He uses the word it's caring.
- 11:55Speaker 1: It's a certain competence, but I think it's more caring.
- 11:59Speaker 5: Actually, if you're at either ingredient, either competence or carrying,
- 12:02Speaker 5: you'll get a better outcome. But that's the reason that
- 12:04Speaker 5: if you don't have competence, you don't have carring, you're
- 12:06Speaker 5: going to get a terrible deal. And the problem is
- 12:08Speaker 5: that the American taxpayers can be getting a terrible deal
- 12:10Speaker 5: because look at the last administration. Can you can anyone,
- 12:14Speaker 5: can any reasonable person say the last administration was either
- 12:17Speaker 5: competent or caring.
- 12:18Speaker 3: But they lied to us and said that Joe didn't
- 12:20Speaker 3: have a cognitive They fully they said the borders were closed.
- 12:23Speaker 3: They said that the borders were secure. They said that,
- 12:26Speaker 3: you know, they said Obamacare would say, they're flat out lighted,
- 12:28Speaker 3: it flatters, insane, How did you decipher it? Will say
- 12:33Speaker 3: humanitarian blah blah blah in Serbia or Afghanistan. We even
- 12:38Speaker 3: give the money to China for crying out loud, which
- 12:40Speaker 3: I think is nuts. Well, mine's the Taliban. But money
- 12:43Speaker 3: to the Taliban like a lot, all right? So like
- 12:46Speaker 3: for what? But they I want to see the pictures
- 12:48Speaker 3: of what they did.
- 12:49Speaker 4: But they try to obscure it.
- 12:51Speaker 3: But then you got to the bottom line, which is
- 12:53Speaker 3: what I'm now scrolling on the screen. And that is
- 12:57Speaker 3: twenty million on a sesame street show in a fifty
- 13:00Speaker 3: six million to boost tourism in Tunisia and Egypt, forty
- 13:04Speaker 3: million to build schools in Jordan, eleven million to tell
- 13:07Speaker 3: the Vietnamese to stop burning trash, forty five million for
- 13:11Speaker 3: DEI scholarships in Burma, five hundred and twenty million for
- 13:15Speaker 3: consultant driven ESG and investments in Africa, DEI programs in Serbia,
- 13:23Speaker 3: the President's favorite, I'm sure you love the taxpayer money
- 13:26Speaker 3: was spent on a DEI musical in Ireland, or transgender
- 13:30Speaker 3: opera in Colombia or a trench gender.
- 13:33Speaker 5: It sounds like, it sounds like, it sounds like, how
- 13:35Speaker 5: can these things be real? But this is actually what
- 13:37Speaker 5: we've done. It sounds like a comedy sketule. I have
- 13:40Speaker 5: twenties pages, right, it's not a listen my long.
- 13:44Speaker 3: If you had to put a number on it. How
- 13:46Speaker 3: much do you think you've identified waste, fraud, abuse, corruption
- 13:50Speaker 3: at this point? And again we've been We're going to
- 13:52Speaker 3: be scrolling.
- 13:53Speaker 4: This throughout the program.
- 13:54Speaker 5: Well, the overall goal is to try to get a
- 13:58Speaker 5: trillion dollars out of the deficit, and if if the
- 14:01Speaker 5: deficit is not brought under control, America will go bankrupt.
- 14:03Speaker 5: This is a very important thing for people to understand.
- 14:06Speaker 5: A country is no different from an individual in that
- 14:08Speaker 5: if an individual overspends, an individual can go bankrupt.
- 14:12Speaker 4: And so kind of country.
- 14:14Speaker 5: And the massive wasteboard and abuse that has been going
- 14:18Speaker 5: on which is leading to a two trillion dollar a
- 14:22Speaker 5: year deficit, that's that's what the president was handed on
- 14:25Speaker 5: Gen twenty.
- 14:25Speaker 4: The two trillion dollar deficits insane.
- 14:28Speaker 3: How much do you believe Elon you've identified and waste
- 14:31Speaker 3: for aud abuse, corruption now and how much do you
- 14:34Speaker 3: anticipate you will?
- 14:36Speaker 4: Sure?
- 14:37Speaker 2: Well, I think no, because it's so massive. It's this
- 14:43Speaker 2: is huge money.
- 14:45Speaker 3: So we're just talking as hard as they are.
- 14:49Speaker 1: They're not going to find some contract that was crooked,
- 14:52Speaker 1: you know, crooked as hell. And I mean there's going
- 14:54Speaker 1: to be so much is in fact, but what is fan.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I think he's going to find a trillion dollars, But
- 15:00Speaker 1: I think it's a very small percentage compared.
- 15:03Speaker 2: To what it is.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Your task now, and I pray to God this is successful,
- 15:08Speaker 3: I really do.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I wish you.
- 15:09Speaker 3: God's speed, you know, God speed John Glenn.
- 15:12Speaker 2: It's going to be by the way I really believe.
- 15:14Speaker 2: But there are the continent area. Well beside this, this
- 15:18Speaker 2: is cutting.
- 15:18Speaker 1: We're only talking about cutting. We're also going to make
- 15:21Speaker 1: a lot of money going to we're taking in.
- 15:23Speaker 3: So what about his business? What if there is then
- 15:26Speaker 3: we will contract? He would otherwise do it.
- 15:29Speaker 1: He's got a conflict. I mean, look, he's in certain areas.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I mean, I see this morning. I didn't know if
- 15:36Speaker 1: I said, do the right thing where they're cutting way
- 15:38Speaker 1: back on the electric vehicle subsidies.
- 15:43Speaker 2: They're cutting back.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Not only cutting back, don't you Yeah, Now I won't
