  Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation

  Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the blue dot red one podcast
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: at a time. Well, here we are, election day. I
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: suppose most minds are made up by now, but on
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the chance that some are not, I'll take one last
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: swing for the fences. I watched a recent interview of
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk by Zannie Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a center-left British magazine. I said in a recent podcast
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that Musk has done more good for humanity than all
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of his critics combined. He reminds me of a Bond villain. Handsome,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: almost boyishly innocent in appearance, brilliant, a global tycoon, calm
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and pleasant speaking voice, straddles the boundary between charming and feisty,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and of course his critics would finish this analogy by screaming,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And he's pathologically, psychotically, fascistically evil. Betos kept criticizing Musk
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: for his negative critique of Europe, specifically his prediction that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: her country, the United Kingdom, will find itself in a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: civil war in 20 years because it has welcomed too
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: many immigrants hostile to the British way of life. She
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: repeatedly called Musk a far-right extremist. Musk kept telling her
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that she was wrong and he was simply a normal
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: person supporting normal policies and repeated his basic political positions.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Secure borders, safe cities, and sensible spending. He said the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: UK and Europe were failing on all three metrics. Beto
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: said it was dangerously irresponsible for someone with 250 million
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: followers on X to say such rubbish. Musk said, Maybe
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the fact that a quarter of a billion people follow
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: him on X shows that he is a normal person
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: speaking for normal people, certainly more so than a Euro
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: elite who lives a cloistered existence. She didn't like that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And she didn't like Musk continually pointing out the warning
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: signs in Europe. Riots and looting, people imprisoned or beheaded
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: because of social media posts. no-go zones for law enforcement
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: in major cities, economic stagnation and fiscal disaster. Musk is right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Europe is in serious trouble. It's an open question whether
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Europe can regain its cultural footing as the home of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Western civilization based on natural law and 4,000 years of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Judeo-Christian teaching, which includes political and social systems based on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: democracy and capitalism. All of that is under siege right
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: now in Europe. This is what the Marxist-Muslim axis has
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: brought to Europe and what it will bring to the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: United States. Let's review Musk's priorities. Secure borders, safe cities,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: sensible spending. All of those things got worse under Joe
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Biden and Democrats. All of those things got better under
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Republicans. Let's give Trump and Republicans another
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: two years to cook, including bringing the Iran conflict to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a successful conclusion and truly launching the golden age Trump
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: has promised. Let's give Trump and Republicans another Republican from
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Nebraska District 2 to help make it all happen. That's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Check with Chip. I'm Chip Maxwell. Thank you for listening.
