Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So I have a surprise for you, which is that
- 0:05Speaker 1: we're going to be awarding a million dollars to randomly
- 0:12Speaker 1: to people who have signed signed the petition every day
- 0:18Speaker 1: from now until the election. So, you know, one of
- 0:38Speaker 1: the challenges we're having is like, well, how do we
- 0:40Speaker 1: get people to know about this petition because the legacy
- 0:44Speaker 1: media is won't report on it, you know, not everyone's
- 0:47Speaker 1: on X. So So I figure, how do we get
- 0:52Speaker 1: people to know about it? Well, this news I think
- 0:54Speaker 1: is going to really fly. So so every day between
- 1:05Speaker 1: now and the election, we'll be awarding a million dollars
- 1:08Speaker 1: starting tonight. All right, So tonight's person is John Dreyer.
- 1:28Speaker 2: H yeah, h m all right, that's good, thank you.
- 1:50Speaker 1: So by the way, John had no idea, so anyway,
- 1:58Speaker 1: you're welcome and uh yeah. So so so the the
- 2:10Speaker 1: only the only, the only thing we ask for the
- 2:13Speaker 1: million dollars is that you'll be a spokesperson for for
- 2:16Speaker 1: the petition and uh that's it. Really, that's the whole,
- 2:19Speaker 1: that's it. And uh yeah, that's it. So wait, do
- 2:25Speaker 1: you want to say anything?
- 2:26Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead, thanks Elon, this is great,
- 2:29Speaker 3: uh really aesthetic, h I want to congratulate you on
- 2:33Speaker 3: your rocket catch last week the curve on. But yeah,
- 2:38Speaker 3: I've been I've been following you for for ten years.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Got your biography ten years ago, and uh been watching
- 2:44Speaker 3: ever since. I'm big fans, So thank you.
- 2:47Speaker 1: All right, Well cool, So.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think this is kind of fun and
- 2:59Speaker 4: uh yeah, you know, it's uh it seems seems like
- 3:04Speaker 4: a good use.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Of money basically. So and we're you know, we really
- 3:12Speaker 1: need to to go all out to protect the Constitution.
- 3:16Speaker 1: The Constitution is there for a reason. It was great
- 3:19Speaker 1: wisdom in that in that document. And uh and and
- 3:22Speaker 1: if if if anything, you know, we would I just uh,
- 3:28Speaker 1: it is it is what will save us from Turney.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And yeah, so well let's see. So I don't actually
- 3:49Speaker 1: have any like as as you can see, there's no
- 3:51Speaker 1: teleprompter or or anything. I'm just like what should I
- 3:54Speaker 1: say next? So I don't know, but but you know,
- 4:00Speaker 1: the it's it's worth reiterating, Uh why why I'm I'm
- 4:05Speaker 1: supporting Donald Trump for president? And you know there's uh,
- 4:14Speaker 1: I think important things that that need to happen. I mean,
- 4:17Speaker 1: I think we want we we essentially want the sensible
- 4:20Speaker 1: basic things. We want safe cities. We want secure borders,
- 4:25Speaker 1: we want obviously support for the constitution. Uh we we
- 4:28Speaker 1: you know, we want I think uh uh a less governments,
- 4:33Speaker 1: uh sort of overreach and you know we really we
- 4:41Speaker 1: I think we want to we want to restore freedom
- 4:43Speaker 1: to the people. You know, it so that you're that
- 4:47Speaker 1: your individual leberties are prized and and you get to
- 4:50Speaker 1: do what you want to do and and you're not
- 4:53Speaker 1: sort of overregulated to death, which is kind of what's happening.
- 4:57Speaker 1: You know. It's it's sort of shocking that I think
- 4:59Speaker 1: there's something like for hundred and twenty eight federal agencies
- 5:03Speaker 1: that that's almost two agencies per year since the founding
- 5:06Speaker 1: of the country, and more being created. And so I
- 5:11Speaker 1: call this like a sort of strangulation by overregulation. And
- 5:18Speaker 1: this is crazy. So I think with with with a
- 5:22Speaker 1: Trump presidency, we have real opportunity to reduce the size
- 5:28Speaker 1: of government, to have a sensible regulation and and and
- 5:32Speaker 1: and really freed the American people to do what they
- 5:35Speaker 1: want to do.
- 5:36Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, I mean I'm not sure like these
- 5:51Speaker 5: are sort of right wing values.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I don't they seem like sensible values. I mean, like,
- 6:01Speaker 1: in fact, I find it's strange that these are even
- 6:03Speaker 1: question looks frankly, so it's it's it's just it's just, uh,
- 6:10Speaker 1: just obvious things that that should happen. So well, you
- 6:17Speaker 1: know what, let's let's let's go straight into two Q
- 6:20Speaker 1: and A, because I feel like, you know, you've a
- 6:22Speaker 1: lot of things you've kind of heard before or people
- 6:24Speaker 1: out there have heard before, you know, and if you know,
- 6:28Speaker 1: if I keep repeating myself, it's gonna be kind of boring.
- 6:30Speaker 1: So better to have questions, and then the questions can
- 6:34Speaker 1: lead to you know, interesting discussions. And uh, one you
- 6:44Speaker 1: know note I should make with respect to two questions
- 6:46Speaker 1: or comments. Uh, the kind of questions of comments you
- 6:50Speaker 1: want to have are things that that you think the
- 6:52Speaker 1: public would be interested in hearing. So it's sort of
- 6:57Speaker 1: you know, what what what what would people out there
- 7:01Speaker 1: be interested in hearing hearing me answer or hearing you say,
- 7:07Speaker 1: And that's the way to kind of think about the
- 7:11Speaker 1: framing of the questions.
- 7:12Speaker 6: Please go ahead, Hey, Elon bj Warsen, absolute honor to
- 7:16Speaker 6: meet you tonight. First, I just want to say thank
- 7:18Speaker 6: you for your leadership. We all really appreciate what you're doing.
- 7:21Speaker 6: It's absolutely amazing that you're even here out here doing this.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Absolutely m Well, you know, I really appreciate that. I mean,
- 7:32Speaker 1: the reason that I'm doing this is because I really
- 7:35Speaker 1: think we're at a folk in the road at Destney
- 7:37Speaker 1: and this this election is an absolutely crucial one. I
- 7:41Speaker 1: haven't been I've not been politically active before, and I'm
- 7:44Speaker 1: politically active now because every instinct that I have tells
- 7:47Speaker 1: me that this this is a folk in the road
- 7:49Speaker 1: of destiny.
- 7:51Speaker 6: So so you obviously are interested in Pennsylvania, and there's
- 7:56Speaker 6: even a rumor that you might want.
- 7:57Speaker 1: To invest in Pennsylvania. That's that's that's true. Actually I
- 8:00Speaker 1: spoke with it. Yeah, well, well.
- 8:06Speaker 6: My first question is would you want to go have
- 8:08Speaker 6: these with me on the Pittsburgh Pirates? We could really
- 8:12Speaker 6: piss off Mark Cuban. Now, now the real question. You're
- 8:17Speaker 6: a numbers guy, You're you're looking at the numbers. Yeah,
- 8:19Speaker 6: what do you see in here in Pennsylvania and others
- 8:22Speaker 6: that's given you encouragement and what are you concerned about?
- 8:26Speaker 1: Well, I'm very much encouraged by the enthusiasm that I
- 8:29Speaker 1: see obviously in the you know, the crowd tonight is
- 8:32Speaker 1: an incredible energy and enthusiasm it's like, so it's it's
- 8:39Speaker 1: it's hardening, it's really hardening. It's it encourages me because
- 8:42Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes I wonder is you know, is there enthusiasm,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Is there energy to make things happen, because sometimes you know,
- 8:48Speaker 1: like our biggest issue is often apathy. You know, is
- 8:52Speaker 1: that if the people that, if the people that could
- 8:55Speaker 1: vote just actually voted, then Trump would win for sure,
- 9:01Speaker 1: you know. So so so a lot of it is
- 9:04Speaker 1: is I think convincing people who sometimes feel like the
- 9:07Speaker 1: vote doesn't matter or it's all rigged or or whatever,
- 9:10Speaker 1: that that actually, your the vote does matter, and if
- 9:14Speaker 1: there's any election in their lifetime that they're going to vote,
- 9:19Speaker 1: they should vote in this one, this one, it really
- 9:23Speaker 1: is a big deal. So, you know, I really want
- 9:29Speaker 1: to encourage people out there to to you know, this
- 9:32Speaker 1: this is this is a one time ask to just
- 9:35Speaker 1: go out there and talk to your friends and family
- 9:37Speaker 1: and acquaintances and people you meet in the street and
- 9:40Speaker 1: and and convince them to vote. Obviously got to get registered,
- 9:44Speaker 1: make sure they're registered, and then and make sure they vote.
- 9:48Speaker 1: This this this one, this is a big one. This
- 9:51Speaker 1: this this is a really big one. And I've never
- 9:53Speaker 1: said that before. So I this this one, We've you've
- 9:57Speaker 1: got to go all out, you know, all out.
- 10:00Speaker 7: Yeah, Elan, I'm senter Greg Rofflan. Welcome to Central Pennsylvania.
- 10:09Speaker 7: We're so glad you're here. You so, so you've been
- 10:14Speaker 7: in Pennsylvania at least the last week or so. Anything
- 10:18Speaker 7: surprises you about this state, in our commonwealth.
- 10:21Speaker 1: What have you noticed?
- 10:22Speaker 7: What have you seen that's been a surprise to you?
- 10:25Speaker 1: Well, you know, I did live here for three years,
- 10:28Speaker 1: so I'm not like a total stranger. I went to
- 10:30Speaker 1: college in Pennsylvania, so, you know, not like some you
- 10:35Speaker 1: know guy, just like, what is the state? What's it like?
- 10:39Speaker 1: I lived here for three years, so no, it's a
- 10:44Speaker 1: you know, it's a great state. I really enjoyed my
- 10:46Speaker 1: time here, and it's a and I think actually Pennsylvania
- 10:53Speaker 1: is really it's the lynchpin in this election, you know,
- 10:58Speaker 1: and it's how Pennsylvania goes, I think is how the
- 11:04Speaker 1: election goes. And yeah, yeah.
- 11:12Speaker 8: Elon, my name is Chandy and one of the pastors here.
- 11:14Speaker 8: Thank you for hosting your town hall here at Life
- 11:17Speaker 8: Center in Pennsylvania. My question for you is, would you
- 11:22Speaker 8: hold an official position in the Trump administration? If so,
- 11:26Speaker 8: what would it be, would you create a new role
- 11:28Speaker 8: for you to help save our nation?
- 11:30Speaker 1: Well, yes, so I and I've had many conversations with
- 11:37Speaker 1: President Trump, who is very much aligned in thinking that
- 11:41Speaker 1: we need significant government reform. We need to get the
- 11:46Speaker 1: government out of people's lives really, and and and I
- 11:53Speaker 1: have America be the land of liberty, which is that's
- 11:56Speaker 1: that is what has made America great is the land
- 11:59Speaker 1: of liberty and opportunity. You know, so you have you
- 12:02Speaker 1: maximize people's personal freedom and and and and we make
- 12:06Speaker 1: sure that, uh, getting ahead is a function of of
- 12:11Speaker 1: of hard work and talent and you know, an honest
- 12:15Speaker 1: day's work. That's really what should get people ahead. And
- 12:17Speaker 1: that's the only thing.
- 12:19Speaker 9: You know.
- 12:20Speaker 10: So hello Elon Durell, with genuine assets. Welcome to Pennsylvania.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Again.
- 12:33Speaker 10: My my question for you, Elon, is the biggest obstacle
- 12:38Speaker 10: that you've had in life and how you turn that
- 12:40Speaker 10: obstacle into an opportunity.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Okay, I'll get well, I guess I've I've had a
- 12:47Speaker 1: lot of obstacles. I certainly didn't expect to, you know,
- 12:52Speaker 1: be get get the things done that I that I
- 12:55Speaker 1: have gotten done. I quite frankly I expected failure. So
- 13:00Speaker 1: so it was really just that I wanted to be
- 13:03Speaker 1: to do something that was as useful as possible. I
- 13:06Speaker 1: wanted to be as useful as possible, and that that
- 13:13Speaker 1: was it really, so I didn't even really actually originally
- 13:17Speaker 1: tend to even start a company. I try to get
- 13:19Speaker 1: a job at Netscape after graduating from Penn and Mark
- 13:25Speaker 1: had reason as a friend of mine, but they didn't
- 13:30Speaker 1: respond to my resume that I mailed in, so I
- 13:34Speaker 1: was like, Okay, well, I guess I'll try writing software
- 13:37Speaker 1: when I've been writing software since I was a kid,
- 13:39Speaker 1: so I'll write some Internet software and see if I
- 13:42Speaker 1: can do some useful applications on the Internet. And I
- 13:45Speaker 1: ended up of writing the first maps and directions and
- 13:48Speaker 1: yellow pages and white pages on the Internet back in
- 13:50Speaker 1: ninety five, and that it was just really because nobody
- 13:56Speaker 1: would give me a job on the Internet, so that
- 13:59Speaker 1: was it. If they give me a job, I guess
- 14:01Speaker 1: I would have just worked an escape or something. But
- 14:07Speaker 1: my best advice really is just like, you know, try
- 14:10Speaker 1: to do an honest day's work and try to be
- 14:13Speaker 1: as useful as possible to your fellow human beings. You know,
- 14:17Speaker 1: try to give more than you take and I just
- 14:21Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for people who do an
- 14:23Speaker 1: honest day's work. You know that that's what really matters.
- 14:27Speaker 1: So how's it going to Elon? Good to see you.
- 14:35Speaker 11: My name is Josh.
- 14:37Speaker 12: I'm worried about kids in a big way. I grew
- 14:44Speaker 12: up in Wyman County, up north, small town area, real conservative,
- 14:49Speaker 12: got an education at Pensity Economics, and it really turned
- 14:54Speaker 12: me away from my father and our small business that
- 15:00Speaker 12: I was basically raised to take it over, and I
- 15:05Speaker 12: did once I graduated, but it kind of imploded afterwards
- 15:08Speaker 12: about a year and I moved to California and I
- 15:15Speaker 12: didn't know what really happened. We got in a big
- 15:17Speaker 12: argument and I just I had to go. You know,
- 15:19Speaker 12: it was freeze. So flight happened. Next, explored homosexuality, considered
- 15:30Speaker 12: transitioning to a female.
- 15:33Speaker 1: And well this is quite the journey. Yeah, And I
- 15:36Speaker 1: think that there's.
- 15:40Speaker 12: There's a big problem with education that is having people.
- 15:47Speaker 12: I guess my question is what are other things we
- 15:50Speaker 12: can do besides the impact that we can have on
- 15:53Speaker 12: the Department of Education to help confuse children that are
- 15:58Speaker 12: trying to know who they are and how they can
- 16:01Speaker 12: fit into their community and be productive.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, well I think I think there's there's there's
- 16:13Speaker 1: well what I think, I mean, what I see is
- 16:15Speaker 1: that there's there's like a tremends amount of propaganda being
- 16:17Speaker 1: pushed on kids in schools, and uh, it's uh, it's
- 16:22Speaker 1: it's I think it's just messing with with with kids heads,
- 16:25Speaker 1: you know. I mean, anyone that goes through puberty, it's
- 16:28Speaker 1: it's it's going to be an identity crisis, you know,
- 16:31Speaker 1: going through puberty, Like it's normal kind of have an
- 16:34Speaker 1: identity crisis. Really, and I think we should tell, you know,
- 16:38Speaker 1: tell kids like, yeah, you know, if you if it's
- 16:41Speaker 1: if you're confused, that's that's okay. It's like it's coming
- 16:45Speaker 1: of age, you know. We we shouldn't like steer them
- 16:48Speaker 1: in a particular direction or convince them of something that's
- 16:52Speaker 1: that they're not. It's it's just it's okay to go
- 16:56Speaker 1: through an identity crisis. Everyone does. And but I think
- 17:02Speaker 1: what I see in schools is that they tend to
- 17:05Speaker 1: send kids down paths that they that that you know,
- 17:09Speaker 1: they wouldn't actually go down, because that they're being pushed
- 17:12Speaker 1: down that by that way, by the teachers, you know,
- 17:15Speaker 1: and by the propaganda that's pushed in the schools. So
- 17:24Speaker 1: I think it's we need to tell kids it's okay
- 17:27Speaker 1: to to live with uncertainty, that it's that it's normal
- 17:31Speaker 1: to have uncertainty and it'll it'll settle, it'll settle down
- 17:36Speaker 1: over time, and you know, and don't make any permanent decisions,
- 17:42Speaker 1: you know, like decisions that can't be reversed, can't be reversed. So,
- 17:47Speaker 1: you know, I think we definitely should not have any
- 17:51Speaker 1: any sort of sterilization of kids, you know, below eighteen,
- 17:55Speaker 1: that's no good. That there's an age of consent for
- 18:04Speaker 1: a reason. And you know, we don't let kids get
- 18:08Speaker 1: tattoos until they're eighteen, and we don't you know, alcohol,
- 18:11Speaker 1: it is technically illegal until twenty one, although that's off you know,
- 18:17Speaker 1: observed in the breach. So but but we just want
- 18:22Speaker 1: people to not make decisions when they're young that make
- 18:27Speaker 1: them unhappy as an adult. That's really what it comes
- 18:30Speaker 1: down to. And I think you want to say we
- 18:32Speaker 1: want to optimize for people's long term happiness and that,
- 18:39Speaker 1: but that means like making sure, like I said that,
- 18:41Speaker 1: that there are no irreversible changes during a kid when
- 18:46Speaker 1: a kid has an identity crisis, which every kid has
- 18:49Speaker 1: and that's totally cool, and so my yeah, my opinion
- 18:52Speaker 1: is we should just tell kids when they're going through
- 18:56Speaker 1: puberty and an identity crisis that's totally normal, and don't
- 19:00Speaker 1: get too stressed about it, and things will settle out
- 19:04Speaker 1: how they settle out, and you know, that's the right
- 19:08Speaker 1: thing here.
- 19:15Speaker 13: Hello, thank you very much, mister ellen Musk. My name
- 19:19Speaker 13: is Linkah White. I'm a legal immigrant from the Czech Republic.
- 19:24Speaker 13: We are all very grateful for X. I think it's
- 19:27Speaker 13: the only platform where we can find the truth, and
- 19:31Speaker 13: not only here in the United States, but in places
- 19:34Speaker 13: like Europe. My question is what is your vision on
- 19:38Speaker 13: the future of the media and the Harris versus under Trump?
- 19:43Speaker 13: How it would look like and can the legacy media
- 19:47Speaker 13: still earn the trust back and what would happen to X.
- 19:51Speaker 13: Of course, thank you so much.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Sure, well, that's it's a great question because there's a
- 19:58Speaker 1: there's a I mean there's I think what we'll see
- 20:02Speaker 1: is a lot of censorship under the sort of the
- 20:07Speaker 1: A Kamala regime. You know, I Kamala is really just
- 20:10Speaker 1: she's just a puppet. Frankly, I mean, you know, if
- 20:12Speaker 1: the teleprompter breaks doesn't know what to say. So it's
- 20:18Speaker 1: you know, I just call it the machine, you know,
- 20:21Speaker 1: the kind of big government machine essentially, and you sort
- 20:25Speaker 1: of have a face on the big goverment machine. And
- 20:27Speaker 1: and and when when when the when the Biden puppet had,
- 20:31Speaker 1: you know, was not working out, that they sort of
- 20:34Speaker 1: got a new puppet. But it's still the same machine obviously,
- 20:38Speaker 1: And it's extremely undemocratic what was done, you know. Uh,
- 20:45Speaker 1: it's it's it's bizarre, hypocritical to claim that Trump is
- 20:49Speaker 1: somehow inteed democracy when what happened with Biden being removed
- 20:53Speaker 1: as the candidate was incredibly undemocratic. Yeah, so it doesn't
- 20:59Speaker 1: make sense. But there's there's there's clearly a strong, a
- 21:03Speaker 1: strong push for censorship under the guise of fighting disinformation.
- 21:10Speaker 1: And uh but but really disinformation is a propaganda word.
- 21:15Speaker 1: It's it's not a it's well, who's who's going to
- 21:18Speaker 1: decide what's disinformation? The government? That's crazy, you know, So
- 21:24Speaker 1: that that's that's you know, yeah, so I think we'll
- 21:29Speaker 1: see this is like a very This is why we
- 21:35Speaker 1: have this petition in support of freedom and speech and
- 21:37Speaker 1: right of their arms, is that it's it's under a siege,
- 21:40Speaker 1: it's being attacked. But really we should we should have
- 21:45Speaker 1: the free marketplace ideas. People can propose an idea, they
- 21:48Speaker 1: can you know, the people can discuss an idea and
- 21:52Speaker 1: they can make a statement. People can robut that they
- 21:54Speaker 1: can you can have you know, the sort of the
- 21:58Speaker 1: people can decide. And you know, I think it's it's
- 22:02Speaker 1: far better for information to sort of bubble up from
- 22:09Speaker 1: the voice of the people than to be decided by
- 22:12Speaker 1: a handful of editors and chiefs of newspapers. You know.
- 22:16Speaker 1: That's yeah, I mean the sort of the biggest point
- 22:27Speaker 1: of manipulation that occurs in the media is is not
- 22:31Speaker 1: when the media says something that's false or mist leading,
- 22:35Speaker 1: but because they do that, But but their choice of narrative,
- 22:40Speaker 1: what are they going to talk about? Is that that's
- 22:45Speaker 1: by by choosing to focus on one thing and not
- 22:47Speaker 1: focus on another thing, that they're sort of steering what
- 22:52Speaker 1: information the public receives. Whereas I think the right thing
- 22:58Speaker 1: is that the narrative that are important should be the
- 23:01Speaker 1: narratives that the people as a whole think are important,
- 23:04Speaker 1: not what a you know, a few media olagogues think
- 23:09Speaker 1: is important. The yeah, but they said they show light
- 23:21Speaker 1: controlling information. So I think we're if, if, if, if
- 23:28Speaker 1: the Kamala machine wins, then what we'll see. I think
- 23:33Speaker 1: severe censorship is what's going to happen. And that's why
- 23:37Speaker 1: I think this is the last election.
- 23:40Speaker 14: Yeah, thanks to you, Kamale is not going to win.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I'm chet.
- 23:53Speaker 14: H my name is chet Biler, I'm from right here
- 23:57Speaker 14: in central Pennsylvania, and I don't think that was an overstatement.
- 24:01Speaker 14: Thanks to you, Kamalo will not win. I have two
- 24:04Speaker 14: questions regarding the election itself and what you believe can
- 24:08Speaker 14: be done to create not only a victory, but a
- 24:12Speaker 14: strong victory. I'm now convinced that again thanks to you,
- 24:15Speaker 14: we're going to sweep the seven states that we must win.
- 24:21Speaker 14: But I also hope we could pick up New Hampshire,
- 24:23Speaker 14: New Jersey, and Virginia.
- 24:26Speaker 1: So I wonder what your.
- 24:27Speaker 14: Thoughts are as to how decisive the victory could be.
- 24:30Speaker 14: And then number two, as was referenced earlier, we and
- 24:35Speaker 14: all of America is very enthused about you working with
- 24:39Speaker 14: Donald Trump to make our government appropriately smaller.
- 24:42Speaker 2: And more effective.
- 24:44Speaker 14: So, because that message is so compelling, I wonder if
- 24:54Speaker 14: your superpack could be a little more clear about that
- 24:58Speaker 14: point as it relates to you affecting that upgrade to
- 25:02Speaker 14: this great country.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Certainly, I'm happy to clarify that. Uh you know, I
- 25:09Speaker 1: you know, I think it's I'm a lot of the
- 25:13Speaker 1: things I say. I feel like I'm just stating the obvious.
- 25:15Speaker 1: But but sometimes the obvious isn't what happens. Or is
- 25:20Speaker 1: that if if America is not strong, if the West
- 25:24Speaker 1: is not strong, then nothing else matters. Like, uh, you know,
- 25:31Speaker 1: the companies that I run, that they don't matter. Like basically,
- 25:34Speaker 1: if like America is the central pole holding up the
- 25:38Speaker 1: tent that is worst and civilization, and if that, if
- 25:40Speaker 1: that pole fails, nothing else matters, Nothing else matters. So
- 25:50Speaker 1: you know, I've tried, and I've tried to encourage a
- 25:52Speaker 1: lot of people in business and technology to say, like, hey,
- 25:56Speaker 1: don't you just got to think long term? You don't
- 25:59Speaker 1: you don't even need to be altruistic, You just got
- 26:01Speaker 1: to think long term and say, if America fails, what
- 26:05Speaker 1: good is your business? It doesn't matter. So America must
- 26:08Speaker 1: be strong, and the central poll that holds up the
- 26:12Speaker 1: town of Western civilization must be foma'sn oak.
- 26:16Speaker 15: So Hiilan. My name is Josel and thank you for
- 26:26Speaker 15: saving free speech. Mike, My question is what would you
- 26:35Speaker 15: expect to see when you had the Government Efficiency Department.
- 26:40Speaker 15: What are your strategies and priorities to curb government spending.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Well, I've had some exposure to government spending because you know,
- 26:52Speaker 1: SpaceX has does have a lot of government contracts, you know,
- 26:56Speaker 1: does a lot of work for NASA and Ford Intel
- 27:00Speaker 1: and whatnot. And so I've actually seen just the level
- 27:04Speaker 1: of waste that that happens. And if you talk to
- 27:06Speaker 1: people in the government, they actually agree, yes, this is
- 27:08Speaker 1: very wasteful and inefficient, and I'm like, well, why do
- 27:10Speaker 1: we do something about it? And but but really, in
- 27:13Speaker 1: order to do something about it, it has to be
- 27:15Speaker 1: a mandate from the top. And if the president is
- 27:18Speaker 1: you know, if we have a great president like Donald
- 27:20Speaker 1: Trump who's willing to make major changes, and and it's
- 27:25Speaker 1: difficult because the system will fight you. You know, the
- 27:28Speaker 1: system is not going to be like, oh yeah, no, totally,
- 27:30Speaker 1: We're totally happy being smaller. That that will not be
- 27:35Speaker 1: like the sort of antibody reaction of the system will
- 27:38Speaker 1: be quite severe, you know that. I don't think it's
- 27:42Speaker 1: going to be They're not going to you know, like
- 27:46Speaker 1: it basically, so, but you have to have that mandate
- 27:50Speaker 1: from from the president. And we need a real president,
- 27:52Speaker 1: not a puppet, you know. You know. The the thing
- 28:02Speaker 1: that the thing that that that scares the system, that
- 28:05Speaker 1: scares the machine, is that Donald Trump is not a puppet.
- 28:08Speaker 1: He's a real person, you know, and he's not behold
- 28:13Speaker 1: to anyone. And and that's why you see sort of
- 28:18Speaker 1: you know that they're trying to kill him, you know.
- 28:21Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I mentioned as a as a joke.
- 28:24Speaker 1: I meant it as a joke that that no one's
- 28:27Speaker 1: even bothering to try to kill Kamala, you know, because
- 28:30Speaker 1: there's no point. There's no point, that is what. I'm
- 28:33Speaker 1: just get another puppet, you know. So I'm not suggesting
- 28:37Speaker 1: someone should try to kill her. It's pointless. But I'm
- 28:40Speaker 1: just saying, I'm just making an observation. Nobody's bothered.
- 28:45Speaker 11: Why is that?
- 28:47Speaker 1: Because it doesn't matter? Yeah, go as any a puppet
- 28:52Speaker 1: is pointless.
- 28:56Speaker 16: So yeah, Hi, I'm Chadwick from Westchester, Pennsylvania, and I
- 29:12Speaker 16: think more people are voting for Trump than ever before
- 29:16Speaker 16: it's historically been democratic. I wear my Trump hat and
- 29:20Speaker 16: walking around people come up to me all the time,
- 29:22Speaker 16: all races, all sexes, and they're like, cheers, let's go
- 29:26Speaker 16: just like let's go.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Yeah meg exactly, all right, so mega out and proud,
- 29:30Speaker 1: let's go.
- 29:31Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 29:32Speaker 1: I encourage people to put Trump Band's signs on their
- 29:34Speaker 1: loan and wear maga much because a lot of it
- 29:38Speaker 1: is like people, you know a lot of people like
- 29:40Speaker 1: they will like they actually would like to support Donald Trump,
- 29:44Speaker 1: but they aren't sure if anyone around them does too.
- 29:46Speaker 1: And a lot of people so you got to sort of,
- 29:49Speaker 1: you know, if you sort of kind of plant the flag,
- 29:51Speaker 1: then then people like, yeah, you know, I see other
- 29:53Speaker 1: people are doing it, then maybe I will too. So yeah,
- 29:57Speaker 1: thank you for doing what you're doing.
- 29:58Speaker 16: Thank you for what you're doing. Thank you for standing
- 30:01Speaker 16: up for Trump and putting your voice out there because
- 30:03Speaker 16: it's really important seeing your face the richest person in
- 30:06Speaker 16: the world that's you, So thank you for that.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:11Speaker 1: I mean I just said I built some companies that
- 30:13Speaker 1: are to do a lot of useful things, and as
- 30:15Speaker 1: a result, the stock's worth a lot. So that's what
- 30:18Speaker 1: that's kind of what happens. It's like, you know, but
- 30:23Speaker 1: in terms of personal expenditures, I do not live a
- 30:25Speaker 1: particularly you know, I don't have like a yachts or
- 30:27Speaker 1: any or islands or anything like that. I just work,
- 30:30Speaker 1: you know, right, so.
- 30:41Speaker 11: Good eating you on. My name is Jared.
- 30:43Speaker 18: It's a pleasure and honor to meet you here in Pennsylvania,
- 30:47Speaker 18: and I honor a.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Pleasure to beat all you guys.
- 30:49Speaker 11: Yeah, you guys rock.
- 30:53Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is far. I mean, seeing
- 30:55Speaker 1: the level of enthusiasm is just I mean, it's it's
- 30:58Speaker 1: this is firing me up big time. This is awesome
- 31:02Speaker 1: metail USA. Absolutely.
- 31:12Speaker 18: I have a two part question. Part A, I admire
- 31:14Speaker 18: your authenticity as well as Donald Trump and truly wanted
- 31:17Speaker 18: to make America great again, giving up whatever you need
- 31:19Speaker 18: to just do the right thing, even if it's unpopular. Yeah,
- 31:23Speaker 18: with all the government spending that you keep talking about
- 31:26Speaker 18: on X, do you believe that in combination with the
- 31:30Speaker 18: Department of Government efficiency, with Donald Trump's policies, do you
- 31:32Speaker 18: think we can reduce the US national debt that's currently
- 31:35Speaker 18: at under thirty six trillion dollars?
- 31:38Speaker 11: And Part B is that after you.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Do it, we have to, like, if we don't do
- 31:43Speaker 1: something about the debt, it's going to be like this
- 31:46Speaker 1: is like for some reason, you know, just the legacy
- 31:48Speaker 1: of masre media just ignores the fact that America is
- 31:50Speaker 1: going bankrupt like crazy. It's like at a rate that
- 31:53Speaker 1: is unprecedented. And the reality is that old governed spending
- 31:59Speaker 1: is is is taxation. So even so people I think,
- 32:03Speaker 1: well this this government spending and taxation are somehow separate,
- 32:06Speaker 1: but they're not. All government spending is taxation because the
- 32:09Speaker 1: deficit is what results in inflation. And and so inflation
- 32:13Speaker 1: is a de facto tax because it causes old prices
- 32:18Speaker 1: to rise and makes you know, people try and just
- 32:21Speaker 1: live their lives have a lot of difficulty. But inflation
- 32:25Speaker 1: throughout history has been used as a pernicious tax because
- 32:30Speaker 1: because because it's like it's one degree removed, so people
- 32:33Speaker 1: don't feel it directly, they sort of and then the
- 32:37Speaker 1: politicians will try to blame it on something else. But
- 32:39Speaker 1: it's all about government spending. Government spending is what drives inflation.
- 32:44Speaker 1: So if the key is we've got to reduce the
- 32:47Speaker 1: government spending, and uh, if we don't, we're going to
- 32:51Speaker 1: go bankrupt as a country. And a story just like
- 32:54Speaker 1: a person. You know, if a person spends beyond their means,
- 32:58Speaker 1: they go bankrupt. And we're spending beyond our means, and
- 33:01Speaker 1: we're spending on like silly stuff that doesn't actually benefit
- 33:04Speaker 1: the public.
- 33:04Speaker 18: Correct And part two to that, I believe you're going
- 33:07Speaker 18: to do that with Donald Trump. I'm just telling you
- 33:09Speaker 18: that it's not if, it's when, because I am confident
- 33:11Speaker 18: you and Donald Trump are going to truly make America
- 33:13Speaker 18: great again.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Ben. I do want to I do
- 33:18Speaker 1: want to question against against Complacency is the only thing.
- 33:21Speaker 1: So it's like we just need to be super hardcore
- 33:23Speaker 1: right about getting every possible vote.
- 33:25Speaker 11: Confidence you have, not complacency, Yes exactly.
- 33:27Speaker 1: You want to be confident, but not complacent. And uh
- 33:30Speaker 1: so that's why it's like we've got to just be
- 33:32Speaker 1: total evangelists about the voting and and and really every
- 33:37Speaker 1: vote counts, and just make sure everyone you know is registered.
- 33:39Speaker 1: The deadline for registration in Paspania is Monday. Yeah, midnight Monday,
- 33:44Speaker 1: Like you can register online, it's super easy, but like
- 33:47Speaker 1: hound everyone you know to get registered because after after
- 33:51Speaker 1: minnight and Monday, you can't. It's it's no good.
- 33:53Speaker 11: And this is a silly question.
- 33:55Speaker 18: But when you cut the government spending and all, you
- 34:00Speaker 18: have a stack of all these deregulations can you live
- 34:03Speaker 18: stream on X and use not a flamethrower and burn
- 34:06Speaker 18: that into the ground.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Yeah, great idea.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think a bond a bonfire of
- 34:19Speaker 1: nonsense regulations would be epic.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:26Speaker 1: And you know sometimes people sometimes people are concerned, like, well,
- 34:30Speaker 1: what if there's some regulation that's actually really important and
- 34:34Speaker 1: we get rid of that and say, well, you know what,
- 34:36Speaker 1: we'll put it right back.
- 34:37Speaker 11: Problem solved.
- 34:40Speaker 19: So all right, well, mister Roscott, thank you for speaking
- 34:44Speaker 19: directly with the voters of the United States.
- 34:46Speaker 1: It's a pretty great view. Yeah.
- 34:49Speaker 19: Absolutely, removing yourself from the equation. What does it say
- 34:54Speaker 19: about the Biden Harris administration would be Harris administration that
- 34:58Speaker 19: she had that they have worked with such great American
- 35:02Speaker 19: companies such as SpaceX to uh Tesla and then even
- 35:06Speaker 19: speak out against X.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's pretty weird, you know,
- 35:14Speaker 1: uh yeah, because it's it's it was kind of kind
- 35:20Speaker 1: of a surprise because it's like, you know, Biden, you know,
- 35:23Speaker 1: for for example, had that like electric Vehicle summit at
- 35:27Speaker 1: the White House six months after getting it upgraded and
- 35:29Speaker 1: specifically excluded Tesla, even though Tesla makes more electric cars
- 35:34Speaker 1: than ever. Yeah, it was it was not cool. Uh,
- 35:39Speaker 1: And and and then credited GM with driving the electric
- 35:42Speaker 1: hical revolution. And in the same that was a second event.
- 35:45Speaker 1: And then in that quarter, GM ship twenty six electric
- 35:47Speaker 1: cars and Tesla ship three hundred thousand, well like and
- 35:56Speaker 1: and you know, Tesla's at this point about one hundred
- 35:59Speaker 1: and forty thousand people. It's it's really it's like there's
- 36:02Speaker 1: a lot of bloodspread and tears from one hundred and
- 36:04Speaker 1: forty thousand people working hard to make great, great electric cars.
- 36:08Speaker 1: And you know, to be sort of cold shouldered like
- 36:12Speaker 1: that for no reason. It's like, what's the deal? You know,
- 36:15Speaker 1: that's wrong. So yeah, and then and then there was
- 36:20Speaker 1: like that crazy thing where SpaceX competed for the Rural
- 36:24Speaker 1: Broadband Initiative, which and by the way, I'm actually generally
- 36:29Speaker 1: against subsidies and incentives, you know, like we should let
- 36:33Speaker 1: take tax payers keep their money, as my opinion. But
- 36:36Speaker 1: they had this like forty two billion dollar thing, and
- 36:39Speaker 1: we competed and and we won, and we would have
- 36:44Speaker 1: actually been able to supply a lot of stalling terminals
- 36:48Speaker 1: to the states that were affected by the hurricanes. And
- 36:53Speaker 1: they revoked the award. It's messed up like why and
- 36:59Speaker 1: then and then to date that forty two billion program,
- 37:03Speaker 1: total number of citizens that have received broadband from that
- 37:09Speaker 1: forty two billion dollar allocation is zero. Now that's if
- 37:14Speaker 1: you want to see the forty two billion dollars for zero,
- 37:19Speaker 1: I would call that waste. Yeah, that's waste. That is
- 37:23Speaker 1: not a good use of money, you know. So there's
- 37:29Speaker 1: also a big governor initiative I think seven billion dollars
- 37:32Speaker 1: something like that for a nationwide network of electric superchargers,
- 37:36Speaker 1: and I think they had made like ten. I'm like,
- 37:41Speaker 1: this is the most egregious waste of money. And there's
- 37:44Speaker 1: so many situations like that, so you know, it just
- 37:51Speaker 1: goes like bureaucrats and consultants and nothing gets done and
- 37:55Speaker 1: it's wasting your money, which is crazy. So what I'm
- 38:00Speaker 1: saying is like this, this the opportunity to reduce government
- 38:04Speaker 1: waste is actually I think easy because there's so much
- 38:08Speaker 1: of it. You know, It's it's not like it's they
- 38:13Speaker 1: just don't care about your money, which is messed up.
- 38:17Speaker 1: And so so I think Deploma of Government Efficiency is
- 38:21Speaker 1: going to face a target rich environment for reducing costs.
- 38:31Speaker 20: Hi Elan, I've been waiting years for you to join
- 38:34Speaker 20: the MAGA movement. So we're so glad you did. Yeah,
- 38:40Speaker 20: I guess my question is you keep repeating that most
- 38:43Speaker 20: of these things we believe in our common sense, and
- 38:46Speaker 20: I really feel like they are. Do you have any
- 38:49Speaker 20: woke friends and how do you deal with them?
- 38:56Speaker 2: Well?
- 38:56Speaker 1: I mean, I have been red pulling my friends like
- 38:58Speaker 1: crazy lately. So I've a few if your work friends
- 39:06Speaker 1: at least they're still friends, but they're not work, so
- 39:11Speaker 1: you know, they I think where you know where The
- 39:16Speaker 1: sort of you know, the sort of good interpretation of
- 39:21Speaker 1: the work movement is is that we want to have
- 39:23Speaker 1: empathy for our fellow human beings. And of course we
- 39:26Speaker 1: want to have empathy for our fellow humans. I'm strong,
- 39:28Speaker 1: strong believe we should care about humanity and we should
- 39:31Speaker 1: care about the future. But but, but, but we need
- 39:35Speaker 1: to have empathy that is deep, not shallow. You know.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Shallow empathy is caring about criminals. But but deep empathy
- 39:44Speaker 1: is caring about the victims of the criminals, you know.
- 39:48Speaker 1: And so you know, why why do we have uh,
- 39:56Speaker 1: you know, violent off repeat violent offenders released on the streets,
- 40:00Speaker 1: often with no bail. It's crazy, and they prey upon
- 40:04Speaker 1: people innocent people, you know, and and then our streets
- 40:08Speaker 1: are not safe and and how can America be the
- 40:10Speaker 1: greatest country in the world and we don't even have
- 40:12Speaker 1: saved streets? You know, this is a crazy you know.
- 40:20Speaker 1: I was talking to my mom and she was saying, like,
- 40:22Speaker 1: just this year, like three few of her friends have
- 40:23Speaker 1: been assaulted in New York, you know, and and it's
- 40:26Speaker 1: and I said, well, it was anyone arrested. No, they
- 40:30Speaker 1: don't even try. This is that we can't have this,
- 40:34Speaker 1: you know, people deserve to to, you know, have safe
- 40:38Speaker 1: cities and secure borders and the basic stuff like that.
- 40:42Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, So I think I think it's I
- 40:51Speaker 1: do feel that there's there's a shifting of of of
- 40:55Speaker 1: you know, of shifting of perception. And I think we
- 41:01Speaker 1: I think, I hope I'm not being too optimistic, but
- 41:05Speaker 1: so I'm a naturally optimistic person, obviously, but I do
- 41:09Speaker 1: feel as though that there's a shift in the national
- 41:12Speaker 1: mindset and a shift to two more set to to
- 41:16Speaker 1: just common sense and and and and not believing everything
- 41:19Speaker 1: that the media tells you. And and I think actually
- 41:25Speaker 1: in the US, people are starting to realize that, you know,
- 41:29Speaker 1: the legacy media is just a propaganda machine. And uh
- 41:33Speaker 1: and in Europe they still believe that, they still believe
- 41:37Speaker 1: the news, So we've gotta work. We've gotta work on Europe,
- 41:41Speaker 1: they still they still think the news is real. But
- 41:46Speaker 1: you know, here, you know, thanks to X and and
- 41:50Speaker 1: and and just you know, people being I think maybe
- 41:52Speaker 1: a bit more aware of having and having an actual
- 41:55Speaker 1: free speech constitutional amendment is it has helped Americans, you know,
- 42:01Speaker 1: understand what is what is actually real. And I'm mean
- 42:06Speaker 1: I do find it remarkable, like the it's just just
- 42:10Speaker 1: how sort of coordinated the legacy media is, uh in
- 42:14Speaker 1: in in their talking points. It's absurd. And and kudos
- 42:19Speaker 1: to to those who put together the compilations of you
- 42:24Speaker 1: know where all of the talking heads will say the
- 42:27Speaker 1: same thing word for word. Yeah, and they they'll they'll
- 42:34Speaker 1: they'll say the exact same thing. And you know, but
- 42:37Speaker 1: I mean, I think the propaganda is not even good. Frankly,
- 42:41Speaker 1: it's not even entertaining. And and you know, so you
- 42:45Speaker 1: know what, the week before the Biden Trump debate, you know,
- 42:50Speaker 1: every media organization was saying that Biden shoppers attack. You know,
- 42:55Speaker 1: there's the exact same words, shops attack, shop attack is
- 42:58Speaker 1: over and over again. Then I became obvious to the
- 43:00Speaker 1: public that he was indeed not as sharp as attack
- 43:05Speaker 1: and and but then immediately the legacy media pivoted to
- 43:09Speaker 1: kN I think, knifing Biden and anointing a successor. So
- 43:14Speaker 1: we see this over and over again. And yeah, so anyway,
- 43:21Speaker 1: but that's why we need to have the voice of
- 43:23Speaker 1: the people. Uh and and and that's that's that's you
- 43:28Speaker 1: know why I felt it was necessary to acquire Twitter,
- 43:31Speaker 1: and and and you know, the like the whole the
- 43:41Speaker 1: whole point of acquiring Twitter was to restore the voice
- 43:43Speaker 1: of the people. M and and it's important to note
- 43:54Speaker 1: that the will. While the far left activists that used
- 43:58Speaker 1: to control Twitter obviously did extreme censorship of voices on
- 44:03Speaker 1: the right, there has been no censorship of voices on
- 44:05Speaker 1: the left that you know, they suspended a sitting president,
- 44:10Speaker 1: you know, just put a suspended a sitting president, which
- 44:13Speaker 1: is insane. And but there's been no suspension or censorship
- 44:19Speaker 1: or shadow of banning or anything of anyone on the left.
- 44:23Speaker 1: So you know, it's a level playing field. But but
- 44:27Speaker 1: I think that the the reason that you see that
- 44:30Speaker 1: that the sort of far left activists want unanimity in
- 44:36Speaker 1: all social media platforms and in all legacy media is
- 44:41Speaker 1: that their ideas do not stand the light of day.
- 44:45Speaker 1: That is the reason they don't. They don't. They actually
- 44:49Speaker 1: don't stand up, and so unless everyone is parroting the
- 44:52Speaker 1: same thing, their ideas will fail.
- 44:56Speaker 21: So hello, mister ask My name is Leon Thomas, and
- 45:03Speaker 21: you know, I was going to ask for a million dollars,
- 45:05Speaker 21: but my parents told me to keep it professional.
- 45:08Speaker 1: So well, it's it's actually still possible, you may win
- 45:11Speaker 1: that and if it's.
- 45:12Speaker 21: So, but yeah, so you taking over Twitter was awesome.
- 45:19Speaker 21: I want to know what other radical ideas you have
- 45:22Speaker 21: to save our nation while working with Trump.
- 45:26Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I try to be as literal, as literal
- 45:31Speaker 1: as possible, so you know, the the value stated on
- 45:36Speaker 1: the at America, you know, the America pack website and
- 45:41Speaker 1: x account. I try to be just as straightforward literal
- 45:45Speaker 1: as possible, you know. So that's why it's sort of
- 45:47Speaker 1: safe city, secure borders, sensible spending to protect the constitution,
- 45:53Speaker 1: especially right to free speech. And these are old, like
- 45:58Speaker 1: I said, things that seemed very obvious and frankly normal,
- 46:03Speaker 1: but they're not being done and they're in severe danger.
- 46:07Speaker 1: If the Kamala machine wins.
- 46:16Speaker 9: Hi.
- 46:16Speaker 22: I'm Nikki and I've been working with Volta Registration and
- 46:19Speaker 22: a lot of people are concerned about the escalation in
- 46:22Speaker 22: the US military in Israel because there's over one hundred
- 46:25Speaker 22: troops there on land.
- 46:26Speaker 11: Now, what do you think of this idea?
- 46:29Speaker 22: A boring company offering to build an island off the
- 46:33Speaker 22: coast of Israel and call it Palestine. They can finally
- 46:37Speaker 22: have their nation state like Cyprus. It's been done in China,
- 46:40Speaker 22: Dubai and the Philippines, and we can finally end these
- 46:44Speaker 22: endless wars.
- 46:45Speaker 11: Could there be enough rubble in Gaza.
- 46:47Speaker 9: To do it?
- 46:48Speaker 1: Thank you?
- 46:49Speaker 2: Well?
- 46:50Speaker 1: I mean, the Gaza is a thorny problem. Indeed, you know,
- 46:54Speaker 1: the Middle East has been an area of contention, well
- 46:57Speaker 1: for thousands of years. I would I would say that
- 47:03Speaker 1: I do not know the solution to that difficult situation there.
- 47:10Speaker 1: So I'm not sure that there is I'm not sure
- 47:15Speaker 1: there is a good solution. There may be, but but
- 47:18Speaker 1: I think we need to make sure that America is solid.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Like so I'm I'm like, let's just make sure America
- 47:26Speaker 1: is is strong, and you know there's I mean, I
- 47:33Speaker 1: I do think we interfere too much in what other
- 47:37Speaker 1: countries do, and uh, and and and and and a
- 47:43Speaker 1: lot of our attempts at regime change, in fact, are
- 47:47Speaker 1: the success of this of of you know, the State
- 47:49Speaker 1: Department in achieving regime change is terrible. I mean, you know,
- 47:53Speaker 1: So there's this, all this effort spent, all this money
- 47:56Speaker 1: spent trying to affect regime change in various trees. But
- 48:02Speaker 1: failed in Cuba, failed in Iran, failed in North Korea,
- 48:05Speaker 1: UH failed in Russia. Who was what? Where were the successes?
- 48:10Speaker 1: But we but we A lot of people died, and
- 48:14Speaker 1: a lot of money were spent, and and but know
- 48:17Speaker 1: what good has come of it? So I think we
- 48:20Speaker 1: should interfere with other countries a lot less.
- 48:30Speaker 23: I Elin, My name is Luke. I'm a local liberty
- 48:32Speaker 23: liberty lover who lives just across the river. Actually, I
- 48:37Speaker 23: find the idea that basically everything that we care about
- 48:42Speaker 23: is dependent on a single federal election two, for lack
- 48:45Speaker 23: of a better word, be unacceptable. So what I've what
- 48:50Speaker 23: I and some colleagues of mine have have talked about,
- 48:52Speaker 23: is decentralization and localism, specifically nullification at the state and
- 48:58Speaker 23: local level of the federal leviathan. At the state level,
- 49:04Speaker 23: the Tenth Amendment Center has done great work. The basis
- 49:07Speaker 23: of nullification is the Tenth Amendment, to the idea that
- 49:10Speaker 23: no power is.
- 49:12Speaker 1: I mean, I agree that the federal government should get
- 49:14Speaker 1: off people's backs.
- 49:15Speaker 23: Yeah, absolutely, And do you believe that nullification is a
- 49:20Speaker 23: viable path forward to getting that done?
- 49:25Speaker 1: Well, I can't speak to that whether that is legally
- 49:27Speaker 1: would legally stand up or not. I mean, but I
- 49:32Speaker 1: think if there's an executive branch, and we also need to,
- 49:36Speaker 1: you know, try to win the Senate and the House,
- 49:38Speaker 1: but if there's if there's you know, a consensus that
- 49:42Speaker 1: that the federal government should do less and restore power
- 49:48Speaker 1: to the states and to the communities, which I think
- 49:50Speaker 1: should be the case. Uh, then then I think we
- 49:53Speaker 1: can make that happen. Yeah. Hi, my name is Edward.
- 50:02Speaker 24: And one of the really great things about going to
- 50:05Speaker 24: these rallies are the people that you meet. Tuesday of
- 50:08Speaker 24: the JD Vans rally, I spoke to some young students
- 50:12Speaker 24: and they wanted to be healthcare professionals, and the hardest
- 50:16Speaker 24: thing for them to deal with was the financial obligations
- 50:20Speaker 24: of doing it, trying to get an apartment and everything else.
- 50:24Speaker 24: And I mean I went to Germany and college is
- 50:27Speaker 24: free over there. So there's no one in the world
- 50:30Speaker 24: that can tell me that America can't do it better. Well,
- 50:32Speaker 24: can can you help those Rillys of the world out, please?
- 50:37Speaker 1: Well, I think that there are a lot of issues
- 50:39Speaker 1: with college education. It's gotten very expensive because the administrative
- 50:45Speaker 1: portion of colleges and universities has grown dramatically compared to
- 50:49Speaker 1: the educational portion. So you say, like, how much is
- 50:52Speaker 1: actually spent on teaching people? Very little, you know, And
- 51:01Speaker 1: so I think that you've got these these these sort
- 51:03Speaker 1: of administrative groups that are far out number the actual
- 51:07Speaker 1: number of professors, and and like, there isn't actually a
- 51:11Speaker 1: need for college to be so expensive. It should be
- 51:15Speaker 1: far less expensive. But the sort of bureaucratic creep and
- 51:20Speaker 1: the administrative burden have grown dramatically over time, and that
- 51:24Speaker 1: is what has caused college to be so expensive. It's
- 51:27Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. So yeah, but but but
- 51:32Speaker 1: there is I mean, if we if we do sort
- 51:36Speaker 1: of make college free, we have to be careful about that,
- 51:39Speaker 1: because it's that then it's open season for wasteful spending
- 51:42Speaker 1: at universities and like that, then how about it is
- 51:47Speaker 1: now this is going to be even worse in the future.
- 51:50Speaker 1: I think I think we need new universities uh to
- 51:54Speaker 1: compete with the existing ones, because what actually matters is
- 51:57Speaker 1: how good is your education, not how much we spent
- 52:00Speaker 1: on administrative bs you know. Okay. I also think that
- 52:10Speaker 1: like the value of a college education is is somewhat overweighted,
- 52:15Speaker 1: you know. And I think it's uh to too many
- 52:19Speaker 1: people actually spend spend four years, accumulate a ton of debt,
- 52:23Speaker 1: and then don't often don't have useful skills that they
- 52:26Speaker 1: can apply afterwards. And I think I have a lot
- 52:29Speaker 1: of respect for people who work with their hands, and
- 52:32Speaker 1: we need elect electricians and plumbers and carpenters, and you know,
- 52:42Speaker 1: that's that's a lot more important than having incremental political
- 52:46Speaker 1: science majors. I think, you know, so, I think we
- 52:51Speaker 1: should not have this idea that to be successful you
- 52:55Speaker 1: need to have a four year of college that that
- 52:57Speaker 1: is simply not sure.
- 53:00Speaker 25: I know you know, my name is Beam.
- 53:02Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to meet you.
- 53:04Speaker 25: My question is, as we need the election, I know
- 53:07Speaker 25: you're covering a lot of ground going to battle down states.
- 53:10Speaker 25: How important is doing things do you think ad buys
- 53:12Speaker 25: would be this election? Because in twenty twenty, Mike Bloomberg,
- 53:16Speaker 25: We know you spend a fast amount of money trying
- 53:19Speaker 25: to get Biden into the White House, So are you
- 53:21Speaker 25: looking into that?
- 53:22Speaker 11: And yeah, that's my question.
- 53:25Speaker 1: Well, actually I'm not sure. I mean, the amount of
- 53:28Speaker 1: money spent on advertising in the battleground states is truly staggering,
- 53:32Speaker 1: and in fact, the Democrats are out spending Republicans dramatically
- 53:38Speaker 1: spending on how you counted, I think it's like two
- 53:40Speaker 1: or three times more money is being spent by Democrats
- 53:43Speaker 1: and Republicans. And in addition, they have the legacy media
- 53:46Speaker 1: on this side, and they have a whole bunch of
- 53:48Speaker 1: Hollywood leverages on the side. So it's remarkable that this
- 53:51Speaker 1: election is in contention at all given that they have really,
- 53:56Speaker 1: you know, all that on their side. So uh, but
- 54:02Speaker 1: but I guess you've got to you got to reach
- 54:04Speaker 1: people with a message somehow, So I think probably, you know,
- 54:11Speaker 1: we do need to do more advertising just so that
- 54:13Speaker 1: people will hear the message. But in my opinion, the
- 54:18Speaker 1: thing that's actually most important is, uh, is getting friends,
- 54:23Speaker 1: family acquaintances, anyone you run into to register to vote
- 54:27Speaker 1: and then to actually vote. So it's and this this
- 54:36Speaker 1: election could be decided by you know, a thousand people.
- 54:39Speaker 1: One hundred people could be a very tiny margin. So
- 54:42Speaker 1: every incremental person makes a difference. And I've seen some
- 54:47Speaker 1: some some pretty wild numbers where there's and I think
- 54:49Speaker 1: even right now, there's a there's a lot of people
- 54:51Speaker 1: that have requested a lot of Republicans that have requested
- 54:54Speaker 1: absentee ballots, but they have not mailed them in. I'm like, guys,
- 54:58Speaker 1: mail it in. Come on, just mail in your ballot.
- 55:00Speaker 1: You can do it. You have it in your house,
- 55:04Speaker 1: mail it in now. It would be a good time.
- 55:08Speaker 1: And if you're worried about the mail, you can bring
- 55:10Speaker 1: it in person. So uh yeah, I think it's very
- 55:17Speaker 1: important to encourage people to to vote. Like like I said,
- 55:21Speaker 1: I'm having I'm really emphasizing this registration point because it's
- 55:24Speaker 1: we've only got a couple of days left for registration.
- 55:28Speaker 1: So that that's why it's the top priority is is
- 55:31Speaker 1: get get people registered before Monday night and uh and
- 55:34Speaker 1: and then make sure that they vote and and I
- 55:37Speaker 1: would recommend voting early and then you can check to
- 55:40Speaker 1: see if if you your vote's been received. Uh, you
- 55:42Speaker 1: know it's it's that's Uh. I think this there should
- 55:47Speaker 1: be a lot more Republicans voting early.
- 55:50Speaker 26: Yeah, him as hi, Miss Ramuss, is the pleasure to
- 55:57Speaker 26: be able to speak to you. Thank you so much
- 55:59Speaker 26: for pushing the world forward in every industry, and I'm
- 56:02Speaker 26: sure you'll be doing the same now in politics. So
- 56:04Speaker 26: my question is, given the recent hacking of Donald Trump,
- 56:07Speaker 26: how important do you think it is for the tech
- 56:09Speaker 26: industry and government to back platforms that prioritize privacy and
- 56:12Speaker 26: secure communications such as signal And do you see an
- 56:16Speaker 26: opportunity for your companies to partner with this platform or
- 56:19Speaker 26: to better protect user data or even safeguard government communications.
- 56:23Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's there's always this debate between uh,
- 56:28Speaker 1: you know, privacy and security, but I think the bias
- 56:32Speaker 1: should be towards privacy. You know. I think we should
- 56:37Speaker 1: not trust the government really, and we're we're just shouldn't
- 56:45Speaker 1: so And I'd say even if even if I'm in
- 56:48Speaker 1: the government, don't trust the government like that's uh, it's
- 56:52Speaker 1: just you know, we we we've we've got to protect
- 56:55Speaker 1: the privacy of citizens, uh and and uh, you know,
- 56:59Speaker 1: and and make sure that that that people really have
- 57:03Speaker 1: their liberty and they're not being spied on or you know, mitigulated.
- 57:07Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, so I think we need to
- 57:12Speaker 1: make sure that they're not like back doors and and
- 57:15Speaker 1: weird things and that where where the government can you know,
- 57:19Speaker 1: spy on and potentially you know, take action against people. Yeah, hey, elon,
- 57:27Speaker 1: my name is Ron Bloke.
- 57:28Speaker 11: I'm from Harrisburg.
- 57:30Speaker 27: Before I asked my election question, I just have to
- 57:33Speaker 27: tell you that I accidentally caught the launch and catch
- 57:36Speaker 27: of both sections of Starship on live and it was breathtaking,
- 57:43Speaker 27: which I know everyone in here knows, but I want
- 57:45Speaker 27: you to or be acknowledged for the level of inspiration
- 57:49Speaker 27: that you're creating worldwide. I was cheering in my office
- 57:52Speaker 27: like watching this thing go down.
- 57:54Speaker 1: And so thank you for that. You're most welcome. I mean,
- 57:58Speaker 1: I think it's it was a yeah, I mean, it
- 58:01Speaker 1: certainly inspired me. And that's it's a that's a testament
- 58:04Speaker 1: to the incredible work by the space x team. It's
- 58:09Speaker 1: very talented, super hard working team, and you know, the
- 58:15Speaker 1: the making rockets fully and rapidly reusable is really what's
- 58:21Speaker 1: going to open up a space for humanity and enable
- 58:23Speaker 1: us to have a base on the Moon and build
- 58:25Speaker 1: a city on Mars and be a space bearing civilization.
- 58:28Speaker 1: So a lot of people don't realize, like the difference
- 58:31Speaker 1: between like an expandable rocket and a reusable rocket is
- 58:34Speaker 1: like ten socially, at least you can think of it.
- 58:38Speaker 1: Just the difference between, you know, what is the cost
- 58:40Speaker 1: to you know, fill up, you know, fill up a
- 58:44Speaker 1: car versus buy a car. It's the same difference for rockets.
- 58:49Speaker 1: You know, do you do you if you have to,
- 58:52Speaker 1: if a new rocket is needed every flight, that's super
- 58:56Speaker 1: expensive and difficult. But if you only have to refill
- 58:58Speaker 1: the rocket, it's dramatically cheap or just like it is
- 59:02Speaker 1: for a car or an airplane.
- 59:04Speaker 27: I understood pulling that off and doing the catch and
- 59:09Speaker 27: the landing in the ocean was just so stellar. Yeah,
- 59:12Speaker 27: all right, So my question is on election night twenty twenty,
- 59:17Speaker 27: I sat down to watch the returns and I watched
- 59:19Speaker 27: them steal the election. All right, I saw it live,
- 59:22Speaker 27: watched it all night. Okay, if you were watching it,
- 59:25Speaker 27: then you knew it. Nine o'clock when Fox declared Arizona
- 59:28Speaker 27: that it was going down, and that was the moment, okay,
- 59:31Speaker 27: But even worse than that was over the next months,
- 59:35Speaker 27: watching the courts and the Shenanigans, in the courts and
- 59:39Speaker 27: the lack of good representation that Trump had, and just
- 59:42Speaker 27: nothing happening because there was obviously a problem. Nothing seemed
- 59:46Speaker 27: to be happening in the courts at all. And between
- 59:49Speaker 27: that day and now, it doesn't look like anything has changed.
- 59:53Speaker 27: And so we're about to I think the votes matter,
- 59:57Speaker 27: but the count is what matters. And if the courts
- 59:59Speaker 27: are corrupted, we're not going to get anywhere. And so
- 1:00:02Speaker 27: do you have are you participating in that? It seems
- 1:00:04Speaker 27: as though you're aware of that. How can you help
- 1:00:07Speaker 27: solve that issue so that we don't have that problem again?
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean the if the margin of victory
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: is high enough, then I think any it can exceed
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: any any sort of cheating that may take place. So
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: we've got to aim for at just a massive margin.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: That's the key. It's it's really aim for a margin
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: that it is impossible to have any shenanigans. But but
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: on the X platform, well, I certainly would invite people to, uh,
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: you know, if there's any voting issues, uh you know,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: if they if you'll think there's fraud, then they then
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: post the images, post the videos, post the evidence, and
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: and let's shine a bright light on on, and the brighter,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: the light harder will be it achieved.
- 1:01:08Speaker 28: Hilan, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance thank you
- 1:01:11Speaker 28: for the work you're doing for humanity. There are a
- 1:01:14Speaker 28: lot of changes happening in our world right now, a
- 1:01:17Speaker 28: lot of changes happening in our own country, and these
- 1:01:20Speaker 28: changes are being.
- 1:01:21Speaker 11: Perceived as chaos.
- 1:01:24Speaker 29: But I always say that if it wasn't for chaos,
- 1:01:26Speaker 29: we wouldn't be able to experience peace. If it wasn't
- 1:01:29Speaker 29: for chaos, we wouldn't be able to experience growth and evolution.
- 1:01:32Speaker 29: And with AI being the new kid on the block
- 1:01:35Speaker 29: and advancing at an incredible pace, I guess my question is,
- 1:01:39Speaker 29: how do you foresee the election of President Donald Trump
- 1:01:44Speaker 29: influencing technological advancements and societal transformation?
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: Well, I think the we're reducing this sort of strangulation
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: by overregulation is a super big deal. You know, the
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: rocket that we were just talking about, it was sitting
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: on the on the launch pad for two months waiting
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: for paperwork to be processed. And it's just insane that
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: that the SpaceX team can build a giant rocket faster
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: than the government can move paperwork from one desk to another.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: Like that's just crazy. And and the problem is that's
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: that's getting worse and worse every year. So if that
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: trend continues, it's just going to be illegal. You know,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: we just won't be able to get anything done. So
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: the this is a that's why I call it like this,
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: this this this extreme overregulation where there's just new agencies
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: being created every year, and the difficulty of getting anything
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: done is like the square of the number of agencies
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: in bold. So if there's one agency, it's like one,
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: but if there's like three agencies, it's like nine times
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: harder because they will have to meet with each other.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we get crazy things like SpaceX
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: got fined one hundred and forty thousand dollars for dumping
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: potable drinking water on the ground at Starbase where we
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: launched the rocket because you know, we cool the launch
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: pad with water, and in an excess of caution, we said,
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: you know, we're going to bring in drinking water just
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: to be sure, and we're going to cool the pad
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: with that. We didn't know there was like a permit
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: needed for that. Like water falls from the sky all
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: the time. You know, Starbase is in a tropical thunderstorm area.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: It rains so much that the roads get flooded. Why
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: are we getting fined for a tiny amount of water
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: on the ground. But the EVA said they're not going
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: to process any future applications for launch unless we pay
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: this fine. So we just got you know, help ransom basically.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: And that's type of the iceberg. I mean, I got
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: a bunch of sort of nutty stories. You know, if
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: some of them, I guess it's kind of funny. There's
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: you know, we had to do this SpaceX had to
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: do the study to see if starship would would hit
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: a shark. And I'm like, it's a big ocean. You know,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: there's a lot of sharks. It's not impossible, but it's
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: very unlikely and uh and said, well you have to
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: you know, this is the thing from from National Marine Fisheries.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: One of the you know nymphits called.
- 1:04:34Speaker 30: Uh and uh.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: You know, they were like, well, you have to do
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: the study on where you're gonna hit a shark. We're
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: like what, And then then we said, okay, we'll find what,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: We'll do the analysis and then well can you give
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: us the shark data? They're like, no, we can't give
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: you the shock data. Well, okay, well then we're a
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: bit of a quandary. How do we solve this difficult
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: this this shock probability issue? And then they said, well,
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: well we could give it to our division, but we
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: don't trust them. And I'm like, am I in a
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: comedy sketch here, Like they're worried about the shock density data,
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: like the people who are hunt shocks for shock fins
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: somehow getting their hands on this shock dance the shock data.
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: And so eventually I think we got the data and
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: we could you know, run the analysis to say like, yeah,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: the shocks are going to be fine. But what they
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: wouldn't let us proceed with launch until we did this
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: crazy shock data. And then we thought, okay, well now
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: we're done. They said, but what about whales. I'm like,
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: when you look at a picture of the Pacific, what
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: percentage of the surface area the Pacific do you see
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: as whale? Because I see a look at a picture, honestly,
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: any it is like you can't wear's a whale. And
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: and honestly, if the ship did hit a whale, it's like,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: honestly that well had it coming because it's like the
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: odds are so low, you know, it's like like final
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: destination the whale addition, It's like fate had it in
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: for that whale, you know, and so we have to
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: do the whale analysis. It's like okay, yeah, the whales
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: will be fine too.
- 1:06:13Speaker 18: You know.
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: It goes on and on, and then they're like, well,
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: what if the rocket goes underwater it then explodes and
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: then the whales have hearing damage, Like this is real,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: this is actually And we're like, look, if we could
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: make a rocket go underwater and be a submarine, that
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: would be like a feed of physics we could not accomplish. Okay,
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: it's not how it works. So anyway, it's just one
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: like crazy thing after another where you know, so this
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: is why I like, I'm like really feeling the pain
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: of the overregulation. And there's like multiple federal agencies that
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: have overlapping, you know that they're all doing the same
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: thing basically. So anyway, we got to solve this madness
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: because we just won't be able to get anything done.
- 1:07:13Speaker 31: Hi, mister mass thank you so much for doing everything
- 1:07:16Speaker 31: that you do to try to save our republic. I
- 1:07:19Speaker 31: am a citizen journalist. I started a small community newspaper
- 1:07:24Speaker 31: in Strasburg Pennsylvania called the Strasburg Herald to fight the
- 1:07:29Speaker 31: fake news.
- 1:07:30Speaker 30: I was in twenty twenty one.
- 1:07:32Speaker 31: Since then, as you know, the as masty media is corrupt,
- 1:07:37Speaker 31: I frankly feel threatened, and they are sabotaging. The big
- 1:07:41Speaker 31: tech companies are sabotaging, shadow binding and redlining my content.
- 1:07:46Speaker 31: Google Meta News break Right now as I'm speaking to you,
- 1:07:51Speaker 31: Meta is now allowing me to promote election ads. And
- 1:07:58Speaker 31: I've given them everything that they needed. So my question
- 1:08:01Speaker 31: to you is, would you consider establishing a citizen journalist association,
- 1:08:07Speaker 31: an organization that could help us fight this giant beast
- 1:08:11Speaker 31: that we can't take on by ourselves, and provide provide training,
- 1:08:16Speaker 31: a cut of ethics and protections so that we could
- 1:08:20Speaker 31: get the work done.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I agree with you that that there should
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: not be it should not be okay for for Google
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: or Matter anyone else to preferentially show left leaning media
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: because then people how do people even know what's going on? So,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: you know, and it's it's sort of yeah, I mean,
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: apart from X, I mean they're pretty much all sort
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: of control of that left left wing activists and and
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: right and then they but but that's obviously you know, unfair.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: It's so I think they should be compelled to show
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: content from all sides. It shouldn't be they shouldn't be
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: allowed to put their thumb on the scale and with
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: political bias, because if they are doing that, then they're
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: entering a political game and then they're subject to political punishment.
- 1:09:17Speaker 15: In association.
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: Well, I think the lot on X.
- 1:09:22Speaker 31: And you know, we don't have the funds to protect ourselves.
- 1:09:24Speaker 11: Yeah with lawfare.
- 1:09:26Speaker 31: You know, they can shut us down. With lawfare, they
- 1:09:28Speaker 31: can sue us for any reason, and the burden is
- 1:09:30Speaker 31: still going to be on us to protect ourselves, to
- 1:09:33Speaker 31: defend ourselves.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that that this is really a situation
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: where where the federal government should be saying that if
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: a company has like seventy percent of the search market
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: like Google does, Microsoft's got most of the remaining thirty percent,
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: it's a duopoly. They have to be fair in what
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: they show. They can't be biased because otherwise that they're
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: I think falling a foul of anti trust. You know.
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: So that's but I think if it's if it's not
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: done at the federal level, I think it's it. You
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: know that that's the only that's the only level where
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: you can actually exert influence on giant companies. And it's
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: really just to say like, hey, you've got to be
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: fair and show you know, the not put not put
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: a political thumb on the scale. That's it's not right,
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: so and and and this. I say that there's there's
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: another big, big factor, which is that that uh, the
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: there's a lot of the the the advertisers also exert
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: political pressure, which is I think not not okay, So
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: then they will there's you know, there's all these moves
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: with these like fake n g o s with nice
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: sounding names like Center of Countering Digital Hate of course
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: who wants Digital hate? But actually they're just a censorship,
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: left wing censorship organization, and so they they they push
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: these boycotts of any publication that doesn't support left wing views,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: and so they just try to starve out any publications
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: that have even sort of centrist views.
- 1:11:14Speaker 11: So, hilan, I'm David Fox.
- 1:11:20Speaker 32: I'm a husband, a father, a grandfather, a small farmer,
- 1:11:26Speaker 32: a carpenter, a heavy metal musician, excellent, a teamster truck
- 1:11:30Speaker 32: driver with over a million miles safe driving.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: You're telligent men.
- 1:11:34Speaker 32: So if you happen to know a guy who might
- 1:11:36Speaker 32: need a Secretary of Transportation you know, let me know, Okay,
- 1:11:41Speaker 32: But anyway, I was supporting Trump since twenty fifteen, and
- 1:11:48Speaker 32: we all know that the Democrats are going to throw
- 1:11:51Speaker 32: everything they got against you and against Trump.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's just that's just a given a
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: harp set.
- 1:11:57Speaker 11: But my question really is.
- 1:12:00Speaker 32: What the worst part is the neo khn milk toast
- 1:12:06Speaker 32: naked ken doll Republicans you know which I stole that
- 1:12:10Speaker 32: line from Jesse Kelly.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: If anybody knows the uniparty of people, I mean, it just.
- 1:12:16Speaker 32: Seems like they're the worst, that they would be the worst. Yeah,
- 1:12:20Speaker 32: they would be the worst threat to the agenda of anyone,
- 1:12:25Speaker 32: because you already know what the Democrats are going to do.
- 1:12:28Speaker 32: So I don't think that those people know how much
- 1:12:31Speaker 32: regular people like us despise those people. I mean, they
- 1:12:35Speaker 32: are We've got to vote them out, yes, you know,
- 1:12:39Speaker 32: that's really what it is. And my question is has
- 1:12:42Speaker 32: there been any talk at all about what to do
- 1:12:45Speaker 32: after we win with those people? You know, because we already,
- 1:12:50Speaker 32: like I said, we already know what the Democrats are
- 1:12:52Speaker 32: going to do. But what about you know, the Lindsey
- 1:12:55Speaker 32: Grahams of the world, or the John Cornan's or the
- 1:12:58Speaker 32: Mitch McConnell's or you know, because you know what they're
- 1:13:00Speaker 32: going to say, Well, there's nothing we can do, you know,
- 1:13:03Speaker 32: that's how they're going to act.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: Well, I think what we've got with we really got
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: a rare opportunity here with Donald Trump, who's a real
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: person who's not beholden to those interests. Because yeah, this
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: is a rare, kind of once in a lifetime opportunity
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: because you know, very often, like you think you're you know,
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: there's a difference between the Democrat candidate and the Republican candidate,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: but they're kind of like the uniparty. They're just one
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: that they actually share. They're going to do the same thing.
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: So then then if they're going to do the same thing,
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: well then voters don't that's a fake it's a fake choice.
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: But with Donald Trump, I think we've got an opportunity
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: for someone who is his own man and who will
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: is not beholden to these interests and we can affect
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: some serious change.
- 1:13:55Speaker 33: Oh hey, Elan, I know you have a burning question
- 1:13:58Speaker 33: for me if I'm Indian or to make him I'm.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: Born in India, all right, And well I was born
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: in Africa. It's kind of weird, but there you go.
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: That's true.
- 1:14:10Speaker 33: So faith, family, and freedom are my guiding principles? What
- 1:14:14Speaker 33: are your guiding principles? And as a divorced mom, I
- 1:14:18Speaker 33: have a fourteen year old son and a twelve year
- 1:14:21Speaker 33: old daughter. So could you give them the best advice
- 1:14:27Speaker 33: you could give them? As an African American?
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: Sure? Well, I mean my advice is generally to try
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: to It sounds maybe like a platitude, but it's really
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: just it's like, try to be as useful as possible,
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: try to give more than you take. And I think
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: if you're doing an honest day's work, you should be
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: very proud of that, and that's a great thing. So, yeah,
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: I struggle with mom jokes.
- 1:14:55Speaker 33: So do you have a best dad joke for them?
- 1:14:59Speaker 34: Now?
- 1:14:59Speaker 9: What I have?
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: I mean dad jokes? I mean I guess I probably
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: for some reason, I can't remember any dad jokes right now? Yeah, exactly. Okay, Okay,
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: what do.
- 1:15:17Speaker 33: You call a hen looking at lattice?
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: I don't know?
- 1:15:22Speaker 33: Chicken Caesar are salad?
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: Okay? I mean, I mean a friend didn't tell me
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: a joke. That's what was pretty good, which is it's
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: it's like, uh, my, my roommate thinks I'm a paranoid, delusional, schizophrenic.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: Joke's on him. I don't have a roommate. Yeah, so ah, elon,
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: I'm Charles.
- 1:15:54Speaker 35: I'm a gen Zer. So I'm college right now in Pennsylvania.
- 1:16:01Speaker 35: A little nervous talking to richest man in the world.
- 1:16:04Speaker 35: But I have a quick question, quick financial question. Actually,
- 1:16:08Speaker 35: like you're the richest man in the world, you're the
- 1:16:10Speaker 35: best person to talk to. So I want to start
- 1:16:14Speaker 35: a family in the next coming years. I'm a Christian man,
- 1:16:17Speaker 35: and I that's something I want to do, right But
- 1:16:21Speaker 35: obviously with this with our country's financial state right now,
- 1:16:25Speaker 35: it's a it's really hard to get a house, let
- 1:16:29Speaker 35: alone pay my student loans. So I know the average
- 1:16:33Speaker 35: age of getting a house right now is like thirty four.
- 1:16:35Speaker 35: So what advice would you give to gen zs and
- 1:16:38Speaker 35: younger people trying to build a family, trying to start
- 1:16:42Speaker 35: a family and get a house.
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: What advice would you have for that? And then I
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: guess my my answer that question, if you'd like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: I mean my recommendation really would be do not delay
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: having a family, you know, even even if things are tough,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: it's it's uh really like like there's there's a baby crisis.
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: You know, the birth rate has plummeted. You know, the
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: birth rate in the United States has been below replacement
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: rate since roughly when I was born in nineteen seventy one,
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: so that's a long time, and it's continued to decline
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: every year. So you know, I think, if there's no
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: no humans means no humanity, so we've something's got to
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: happen to turn around this crazy low birth rate will
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: simply disappear. So you know, I think even if things
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: are financially difficult, it's still you know, go for it
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: with regard to a family. And then regarding housing costs,
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: I think, you know, the thing that's that's driving up
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: housing costs is the crazy overregulation. It's like so hard
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: to build new houses and it's and to meet all
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: these regulations. The regulations stifle new housing creation. So I
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: think if we if we can alleviate the crazy number
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: of regulations for houses school want to keep them safe, Uh,
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: then the cost of a new house should should fall dramatically.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: So and what was the second one?
- 1:18:15Speaker 35: Yeah, just one quick serious question. Can I get a
- 1:18:18Speaker 35: cyber truck.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: No, I'm just kidding, all right, Hi, Eilon. My name
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: is Katie.
- 1:18:30Speaker 34: I am an electrical engineer, and I have heard you
- 1:18:33Speaker 34: in the past speak about promoting STEM degrees as well
- 1:18:37Speaker 34: as trade degrees, individuals who work with their hands into politics,
- 1:18:41Speaker 34: because frankly, I'm really sick of seeing dumb people ruining
- 1:18:45Speaker 34: our country.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: And so do you have any plans with America America
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: Pack to do that? Well? Yeah, I mean I do
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: think this. We we need more of our talented people
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: in America going into engineering and into the technical trades
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: and building things. Essentially, we have too many of our
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: smartest people go into law and finance, which is both
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: a you know, a criticism and a compliment. But I
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: think we've got too many people in America and law
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: and finance. Not that we shouldn't have some, but we've
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: got too many, and there should be more that are
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: doing engineering and manufacturing and building things. That that's a
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: that's I think a better use of our best talent. So,
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly have done everything I can to
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: to promote engineering and as as a and building things
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: as a as a career. I think it's a good career.
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: You know, if you've built a product that someone loves, uh,
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: that you've done a really good thing, and so I think,
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: uh yeah, more people should do that. Yeah.
- 1:19:59Speaker 36: So first off, thank you for this amazing opportunity. A
- 1:20:08Speaker 36: forum like this can only exist and where there is
- 1:20:11Speaker 36: free speech, And thank you so much for bringing that
- 1:20:14Speaker 36: to the forefront and this election because it's absolutely what
- 1:20:18Speaker 36: is on the line. So I know this is being
- 1:20:21Speaker 36: live stream. So if you are at home and you
- 1:20:24Speaker 36: have not registered to vote, please do so. Please get
- 1:20:27Speaker 36: out and vote, vote early, and please sign the petition
- 1:20:32Speaker 36: at the americanpac dot org. Yeah, so thank you. But
- 1:20:37Speaker 36: it sort of leads into my question here. Your positions
- 1:20:41Speaker 36: on fundamental freedoms and government oversight and efficiency are well documented.
- 1:20:47Speaker 36: Are there any other issues important to you that haven't
- 1:20:50Speaker 36: been as widely covered and how would a second term
- 1:20:52Speaker 36: for President Trump be relevant to those issues.
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: Well, I've tried to you know, like I said, try
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: to be as clear and literal as possible. So, you know,
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: like I said, that's that's why we've got certain basic priorities,
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: you know, like the safe city, secure border, sensible spending,
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: protection of the Constitution, and all of those things are
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: problematic today, so we have to address sort of just
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: address those fundamental issues or nothing else matters. And uh,
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: And like I said, I think deregulation actually will will
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: unleash a new wave of prosperity that is much greater
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: than people realize. You know, if for for people that
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: are uh you know in the audience and out there
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: that try try to build things and get things done,
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: you know how difficult it is with with you know,
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: permits and one agency after another getting in the way,
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: and it causes the prices to rise, and it's still
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: it stalls progress. So I think people don't quite realize
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: just how much prosperity. Uh, deregulation will bring. You know,
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: the President Trophy last term thankfully did some amount of that.
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: But the last really big push for deregulation was Reagan
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: in the early eighties and and that actually brought that
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: that that unleashed a wave of prosperity. It was great.
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: You know, they used to control like like airline prices
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: and everything was was regulated, and it was it was
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: stifling progress. And Reagan uh had a big deregulation push
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: and it was it was amazing. And the eighties we
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: were great, and nineties were great actually, so yeah, I
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: mean I lived through the eighties and nineties and they
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: were great. So so I think actually, you'll you'll see,
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: you'll see just how how much better it is if
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: if progress is not stifled by overregulation. It's it's really
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: a big deal, right. Hey.
- 1:23:11Speaker 37: Long, My name is Dean. I'm an engineering student here
- 1:23:14Speaker 37: in Pennsylvania. My family moved out here from my home
- 1:23:19Speaker 37: state of New Jersey because me and my brother were
- 1:23:21Speaker 37: facing some injustices regarding the COVID vaccine mandates a couple
- 1:23:26Speaker 37: of years ago.
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: Yeah. Those were crazy, Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: really nutty. I mean, like, I'm not anti vaccine, but
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: I'm anti forcing people to take a vaccine, that's for sure. Well, also,
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine did not work. Yeah, and it's yeah,
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: it's it's uh and and suppressing information about it and
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: side effects that was terrible. So you know, it was like,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: you know, the Biden administration, Biden Harrison administration try to
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: mandate that any company that has any federal contracts, which
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: is most companies, uh have were before, to vaccinate everyone
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: at the company or that person would have to be fired. Now,
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: thankfully that was shot down by the Supreme Court. But like,
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: that's insane. That is a massive infringement on your liberty.
- 1:24:11Speaker 37: Yeah, So speaking to you right now, I mean I
- 1:24:13Speaker 37: recognize the magnitude of it that I'm grateful for the
- 1:24:16Speaker 37: opportunity to have your ear for a moment. And I
- 1:24:19Speaker 37: wish I could talk about more than I'm going to
- 1:24:21Speaker 37: be able to talk about right now with you. But
- 1:24:23Speaker 37: I would like to touch on the topic of education reform.
- 1:24:26Speaker 37: I've heard you expressed in the past some did satisfaction
- 1:24:30Speaker 37: with the way we go about education today. I found
- 1:24:33Speaker 37: your concept of levels that a student can advance at
- 1:24:36Speaker 37: his own pace to be compelling if we include students, teachers,
- 1:24:41Speaker 37: and administrators as occupations. Education is the industry that employs
- 1:24:45Speaker 37: the most people in the country. Our brightest minds are
- 1:24:48Speaker 37: usually traversing the education system for their entire youth and
- 1:24:52Speaker 37: early adulthood. Do you think it would be within the
- 1:24:54Speaker 37: scope of the Department of Government Efficiency to try and
- 1:24:57Speaker 37: investigate how we can minimize the misuse of Americans money
- 1:25:01Speaker 37: and more importantly, their time by providing ways to streamline
- 1:25:04Speaker 37: the process avenues to certify oneself with aptitude tests and
- 1:25:08Speaker 37: somehow counteract the unproductive arms race of credentials and degrees.
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, yes, No, I think it's it's pretty nutty.
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: Like I mean, ironically, from the if you look at
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: how Americans have performed in uh, you know, in in
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: academic tests since the establishment of the Federal Department of Education,
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: it's it's been it's been downhill. So like, why are
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: we spending all this money uh for about worst results?
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: And then there's there's there's a lot of the money
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: in UH in education is actually for pushing propaganda, you know,
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: instead of teaching kids the facts about the world, like
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: you know, things that are actually useful. So we definitely
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: need to stop the propaganda, the pushing of the propaganda
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: in schools and teach kids skills that are actually useful.
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: So you know, and yeah, I big believer in that.
- 1:26:14Speaker 11: So hi Eland, thanks for taking the time to do this.
- 1:26:21Speaker 11: This is fantastic.
- 1:26:23Speaker 38: My question involves regulation, Tessa, full self driving has the
- 1:26:27Speaker 38: potential to save tens of thousands of lives per year.
- 1:26:32Speaker 38: What do you think or is the right way for
- 1:26:36Speaker 38: regulators to look at the technology and what factors do
- 1:26:39Speaker 38: they look at to try to get to the goal
- 1:26:41Speaker 38: of unsupervised self driving and I've seen its growth over time.
- 1:26:46Speaker 38: I've been a beta tester since the safety score and
- 1:26:50Speaker 38: twelve point five point four point one drove me here
- 1:26:52Speaker 38: was zero intervention.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think yeah, I think that that'd be
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: a good thing for there to be a federal mandate
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: for self driving. And really the threshold should just be
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: that do you have a statistically significant proof that when
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: the car is in self driving mode that the probability
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: of injury is much lower than if it's manually driven,
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: you know, like well above the margin of error. Like
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: let's say it's like, I don't know, fifty percent or
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: one hundred percent better with a billion miles of driving.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: So you've got you've got a large data set and
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: clear data to back it up. Then I think you
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: should obviously allow self driving as soon as it is
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: obviously safer than manual driving. It's pretty straightforward, I think.
- 1:27:50Speaker 9: Hi, Elan, my name is Molly Hughes and I'm an
- 1:27:52Speaker 9: engineer from Lancaster, and I just want to say thank
- 1:27:54Speaker 9: you for all you've done for free speech. And I
- 1:27:57Speaker 9: realize that's saying almost nothing at all with in proportion
- 1:28:00Speaker 9: to what it's meant to all of us. My question
- 1:28:04Speaker 9: is given that Marxist ideology is responsible for the death
- 1:28:10Speaker 9: of a one hundred million people in the twentieth century,
- 1:28:13Speaker 9: why do you think it's making a resurgeon and what
- 1:28:15Speaker 9: can we do to help combat it in our daily lives.
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you. It's kind of flowing
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: my mind that, like I thought that was a dead philosophy,
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: but it's alive and well in a lot of our
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: educational institutions. You know. I think part of it is
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: that you've got these a lot of colleges with these
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: giant endowments that insulate them from reality. So you can
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: sort of have this fake communist utopia at a university
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: because they don't have any feedback loop to reality because
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: they got these giant endowments and a tonic government funding too,
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: so that allows them to be disconnected from the realities
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: of the free market. They take advantage of the free market,
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: but they live in a sort of pseudo communist world
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: and in a lot of these colleges, so that they
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: that they just don't get it, but but it is.
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: It is remarkable, and there are a lot of memes
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: about this because like, how often do we need to
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: run this experiment? You know, you know, the it should
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: be very obvious that the uh, the economic structure of
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: the economic philosophy that is the good one, is the
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: one that does not need to build walls to keep
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: people in, you know, So that's that's pretty odd. Like
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: you know, in North North Korea has to it builds
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: a wall to keep people in that. You know, East
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: Germany had to build walls to stop people from going
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: to West Germany. You know, the Berlin Wall was built
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: by East Berlin, not West Berlin. So the philosophy that
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: that that has to build a world to keep people in,
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: that's the bad one. Okay, I don't know how it's
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: so obvious. So and yet you see a resurgence of
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: it over and over again. And if if you study history,
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: I actually even in ancient times, this this was you
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: see the cycle of of you know, uh, it wasn't obviously,
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: it wasn't called Marxism two thousand years ago or three
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: thousand years ago. But but but you have this this
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: back and forth between free market and sort of government
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: and pre market and government, and it just seems to
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: be some of the natural cycle of things. So yeah,
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: but obviously I'm a big believer in the free market,
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: which is the free markets just like let people buy
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: the things they want to buy and let people make
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: the things they want to make. It's it's not that complicated,
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: you know. And I find it bizarre that that people
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: think the government is a solution to things when a
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: government is just a corporation in the limit, the government
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: is just the biggest corporation of all with a monopoly
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: on violence. And so if if you're if you're against corporations,
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: you should be definitely against giving it to a monopolistic
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: corporation with that that has control over violence. And I mean,
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: you know, there there are good people that work in
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: the government, obviously, but but the government is just it's
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: just a we should have the least amount of government
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: because it's it's an operating system that makes people less
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: of it, like their output is dramatically less. If you
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: can look at say the output of North Korea versus
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: South Korea. In North Korea they're starving and South Korea
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: is extremely prosperous. West Germany was very prosperous and East
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: Germany was not. And those are random lines drawn on
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: a map, so it you know, it should be I
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: don't like I said super obvious what the right path
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: is and uh yeah we we you know, competition, uh
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: keeps companies honest, and you want companies competing to serve consumers.
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: I mean I'm obviously you know, preaching to converted here,
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: but uh yeah, it's like like and another way you
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: think of it is like it is like he's like
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: like like you know, almost everyone's been to the d MV. Okay,
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: so you know the DMV the protomotive vehicles, that's the
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: government and and and more. Government is just the d
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: m B at scale. So like how big do you
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: how much more do you want to give the d
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: MV to do I would say, like not not much,
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: you know. So it's you know, we should minimize because
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: it just doesn't have a feedback loop for improvement. Like
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: if if you know, if you don't get good service
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: service from the DMV, their monopoly and you can't do
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: anything about it. Whereas if there's if there are company
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: is competing to serve consumers, you can switch your business to.
- 1:33:07Speaker 39: The other company. It's pretty straightforward. So yeah, yeah, so.
- 1:33:24Speaker 40: Hi Elan. My name is Rebecca Gilbert. Thank you so
- 1:33:27Speaker 40: much for being here. My question is what role do
- 1:33:30Speaker 40: you think AI should play in our democratic republic, and
- 1:33:34Speaker 40: how do you think it can be used to upshold
- 1:33:36Speaker 40: our constitutional freedoms? And what do you think will be
- 1:33:40Speaker 40: the potential consequences of creating AI that is far more
- 1:33:46Speaker 40: intelligent and capable than human beings with the exception of you,
- 1:33:50Speaker 40: of course.
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: Well, I do worry about AI actually, because we're all
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: creating intelligence that ultimately will be far more and more
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: intelligent than any human and ultimately more intelligent than the
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: some of all humans. So in creating AI, we need
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: to be very careful and like kind of it's like
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: having a sort of a genius child. You want to
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: have that child grow up with good values. I think
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: the most important thing in training AI is that it
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: has a it's rigorously truthful, even if even if that
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: that this is very very important essential And my concern
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: about a lot of the ais that are being developed
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: are that they're they're trained to lie, you know, and
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: in some cases were potentially disastrous consequences. I mean, when
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: when Google Gemini came out, you know, people ask like,
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: which is worse misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or global Thermo nuclear war,
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: and it said misgendering Caitland Jenner. I'm like, that's a problem, guys,
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: because if if this AI becomes super powerful, it could
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: decide that the best way to avoid misgendering is to
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: kill all humans, which makes the probility of us gendering zero.
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: So this is it's very important to have AI b
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: be maximally truthful and curious and and love humanity very important.
- 1:35:20Speaker 41: So Heylan, I'm the guy with the Daleenheart cybertruck. If
- 1:35:26Speaker 41: anybody wants to drive it after this, let me know.
- 1:35:30Speaker 41: I was recently banned on Facebook for a meme that I.
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: Shared five years ago. Wow, completely gone.
- 1:35:36Speaker 41: Yeah, recently you can't even talk to people with Facebook.
- 1:35:38Speaker 41: It's insane.
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: Like, my question is it's pretty seriously, this is the
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: kind of crazy thing that it's like, what you know
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: five years ago?
- 1:35:46Speaker 41: I'm not even kidding. I complain about it at work
- 1:35:49Speaker 41: all the time.
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: Well can you imagine how much whistlers will be under
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: the sort of comala puppet regime. It'd be insane. So
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: thank you for buying Yeah, that's for sure.
- 1:35:58Speaker 41: I really appreciate you buying Twitter, and I can share
- 1:36:01Speaker 41: memes on there now.
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: So yeah, my question is a spy Facebook as impossible.
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: Docrberg has an equity structure that ensures that like his
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: sixteenth descendant, will still control it.
- 1:36:16Speaker 41: Wizard man, this is pretty serious. Have you ever seen
- 1:36:21Speaker 41: Mark Cuban in Rachel Maddele in the same area at
- 1:36:24Speaker 41: the same time or no, I assibly be the same person.
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: I think they They might they might be the same person.
- 1:36:41Speaker 11: Hello.
- 1:36:42Speaker 42: My name is Leslie Lockheed. I'm a senior pastor in
- 1:36:45Speaker 42: the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness. It's a global ministry,
- 1:36:50Speaker 42: and I'm also here as a mother and a grandmother,
- 1:36:55Speaker 42: and I'm also here on behalf of people with disabilities.
- 1:36:59Speaker 11: I'm very.
- 1:37:01Speaker 42: Interested in all of your different inventions. I find them
- 1:37:05Speaker 42: very fascinating and I am so grateful that you have
- 1:37:08Speaker 42: that type of compassion. And I really want to thank
- 1:37:10Speaker 42: your mother because I know she's been a part of
- 1:37:13Speaker 42: that from a very young age.
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: My mom and my mom and my sister are great.
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: So yeah, it's uh yeah, they're they're they're great, great people,
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I mean I love humanity. I think,
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: you know, obviously we're not we're not perfect, and we
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: know people do things that are bad at times, but
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: on balance, I you know, I love humans and I
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: love humanity, so it's very evident.
- 1:37:40Speaker 11: I thank you for your compassion.
- 1:37:41Speaker 42: And now it's a lot of There are a lot
- 1:37:43Speaker 42: of different issues that are so important to me personally,
- 1:37:46Speaker 42: and I'm sure all of you share them. I've seen
- 1:37:50Speaker 42: just horrendous things in the news from every type of issue,
- 1:37:54Speaker 42: the homelessness, the things that have happened, you know, the hurricane,
- 1:37:58Speaker 42: the people in uh you know, the Carolinas and all
- 1:38:02Speaker 42: the six states, and the sufferings that is going to continue.
- 1:38:05Speaker 42: I'm very concerned about our fellow Americans there and those
- 1:38:10Speaker 42: who are yet you know, that are going to suffer
- 1:38:12Speaker 42: from other natural disasters that are still in the making,
- 1:38:17Speaker 42: and those who still haven't recovered from the ones before.
- 1:38:21Speaker 11: So that's very important.
- 1:38:22Speaker 42: I'm I'm very concerned about the children and the grandchildren
- 1:38:25Speaker 42: and the exposures that are really impressing, you know, putting
- 1:38:31Speaker 42: impressions upon them to lead them off in the very,
- 1:38:35Speaker 42: very extremely dangerous ways. As some of what you've touched
- 1:38:38Speaker 42: on tonight, There's just so many that I can't even
- 1:38:43Speaker 42: mention them all here.
- 1:38:44Speaker 11: But I would like to.
- 1:38:46Speaker 42: Also extend an invitation to you, and I extend this
- 1:38:50Speaker 42: invitation to invite you to because we've been commissioned all
- 1:38:56Speaker 42: across the United States of America by the leadership in
- 1:39:00Speaker 42: the Ministry, sure and even President Trump. Former President Trump
- 1:39:05Speaker 42: has sent off a letter of invitation to this man
- 1:39:09Speaker 42: of God, and I would like to invite you, on
- 1:39:12Speaker 42: behalf of America and on behalf of the Ministry, to
- 1:39:16Speaker 42: come with us this December for the men Guy seven
- 1:39:21Speaker 42: and to be able to meet him face to face.
- 1:39:23Speaker 42: He is known to be not the richest man on earth,
- 1:39:29Speaker 42: but he is the most influential man on earth, and
- 1:39:32Speaker 42: when he speaks, everybody listens. He always tends number one
- 1:39:35Speaker 42: on every social media platform.
- 1:39:38Speaker 11: So we would like to invite you.
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: All right, Well, well, thank you. I appreciate the invitation.
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: I wish I could, I guess, teleport myself around and
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: be able to do more things. It is I like
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: seventeen jobs, But thank you for the invitation.
- 1:39:58Speaker 43: All right, Alon Neil, pleasure to meet you and talk
- 1:40:02Speaker 43: with you. A question about manufacturing. One of the concerns
- 1:40:06Speaker 43: with this election cycle is bringing manufacturing back on shore. Yeah,
- 1:40:09Speaker 43: and I'm just wondering you have a lot of expertise
- 1:40:11Speaker 43: with this. What do you think it's going to take
- 1:40:13Speaker 43: to make American manufacturing great again. What's the government's role
- 1:40:17Speaker 43: in that from your perspective.
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: Well, as I mentioned, I think deregulation will actually be
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: very helpful. You know, it's it's it's it's like a
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: borderline impossible to get big projects done. If you want
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: to build a big factory, it's like extremely difficult to
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: do in the US. So I think deregulation will help
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: a lot with that. And you know, I do think
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: we probably need to be sensible about what about tariffs
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: and just you know, if there's if there is a
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: dumping up goods from other countries, we probably should have
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: tariffs that that you know, prohibit that. But I think
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: in general we should we should price manufacturing in the
- 1:41:01Speaker 1: US a lot more. And but I mean America stool
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: is the second biggest manufacturer in the world after China,
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: and uh, and I'm a big fan of manufacturing. Obviously,
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: I built with a lot of factories, spent a lot
- 1:41:15Speaker 1: of time on the production floor. So and I think
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: part of it is, like I think, uh, I don't know,
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: maybe manufacturing became like uncool or something. I don't know.
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: But as I was saying earlier, we're way too many
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: people in America and finance and law, and I think
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: a bunch of them should should really be doing manufacturing instead.
- 1:41:38Speaker 44: You know, Hi, Eylan, nice to meet you. My name
- 1:41:47Speaker 44: is Mattson Snell. I'm twenty two years old from York, Pennsylvania,
- 1:41:52Speaker 44: right real. Briefly, I just want to say that before
- 1:41:56Speaker 44: I ask my question. I'm really grateful with someone like
- 1:41:59Speaker 44: your st is so outspoken with supporting Trump, and I
- 1:42:03Speaker 44: think we need more people in your status to support Trump,
- 1:42:06Speaker 44: because I think we all know there's kind of this
- 1:42:09Speaker 44: agenda in the entertainment industry and in the media where
- 1:42:12Speaker 44: they have to hate Trump no matter what I think.
- 1:42:14Speaker 44: My question to you is, how much of it do
- 1:42:17Speaker 44: you think is like them living in this bubble, like
- 1:42:19Speaker 44: the late night talk show hosts, the Holly, the people
- 1:42:22Speaker 44: in Hollywood, like the legacy media. How much of that
- 1:42:26Speaker 44: is like them actually thinking Trump is this like evil dictator?
- 1:42:30Speaker 44: And how much of it is actually like just them
- 1:42:32Speaker 44: getting paid to say, like, why is there this huge
- 1:42:35Speaker 44: bias towards the Democratic Party when it comes to the
- 1:42:38Speaker 44: established man.
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: That's a great question and I actually don't know the
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: fal answer to that, but except to say that what
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: your observation is accurate, and I mean it's I think
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: it's also clear that with a few exceptions that they
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: they're they're really just they're just talking heads. You know,
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: that they say whatever the teleprompter tells them to say.
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: So you know, that's just you know, like there's I
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: guess maybe we have too much concentration in media in
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: the country. This you know, media is controlled by handful
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: of people, uh and kind of their political views filtered
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: down to whatever the you know, their companies that they
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: own or control what what what they believe. But uh, yeah,
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: so but I don't know, I find except like I
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: can see the results, but I don't quite understand why
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: this is this is happening. So I wish I did,
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: And obviously with acquiring Twitter, that was a step to
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: try to correct things and have the voice of the
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: people actually, you know, give the people a voice. So
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: but like if you look at say, contributions by journalists
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: over time to Republican or Democrat party, uh, you know,
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: if you if you go back, say twenty thirty years,
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: it was much more balanced where there would be I
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: don't know, a third of journalists would donate to Republican Party.
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: Two thirds would be dom and now it's like five
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: percent of journalists donate to Republicans, ninety five r you know,
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: donate to Democrats, which which obviously leads to a tremendous
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: amount of bias. I think also like a lot of
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: activists have gone into journalism not to report the news,
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: but to create the news. And I say, like, well,
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: where does that come from? I think probably that comes
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: from what they're taught in schools. I'm trying to like,
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: you know, trace like trace route, like you know, packets
- 1:44:50Speaker 1: on our network. Where did this? What's the origin of this?
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: And I think if people are taught you know, BS
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: propaganda in schools, then they want to that they and
- 1:45:01Speaker 1: they're told that this is the thing they should got
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: in the world and push. Then then you I think
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: that's it's saw us with the education system. I think,
- 1:45:10Speaker 1: you know, and certainly that is a thing to be addressed.
- 1:45:13Speaker 26: So there was.
- 1:45:19Speaker 30: Hilin. My name is Janine. I'm from Central Pennsylvania and
- 1:45:23Speaker 30: tonight you've mentioned many times how important it is that
- 1:45:26Speaker 30: we get out there, we register, we vote, We convince
- 1:45:29Speaker 30: our friends, families, acquaintances to get out there and vote.
- 1:45:33Speaker 30: In my orbit, I have too many people that just
- 1:45:38Speaker 30: refuse to vote for Trump because his personality isn't appealing
- 1:45:43Speaker 30: to them, but they say it much more colorfully of course.
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:45:46Speaker 11: So my ask to you is, how.
- 1:45:49Speaker 30: Can I very simply connect the dots between what's at
- 1:45:55Speaker 30: risk here with this next election for a rural central
- 1:46:01Speaker 30: Pennsylvania person who doesn't really see what's happening in the
- 1:46:05Speaker 30: big cities. So for me, the money shot is how
- 1:46:09Speaker 30: this is going to impact them every single day?
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: Right? Well, I think we you know, to the agree
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: that people say like or dislike a candidate, they really
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: need to sort of step back and say, what you're
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: actually electing is sort of a Republican administration or a
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: democratic administration, and there's this massive changing of the guard
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: that takes place depending on which side is elected. So
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: you know, whether or not somebody likes Trump as a
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: person or not, first of all, I think they should
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: definitely look into a lot of things that they've been
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: told about Trump, because I think a lot of the
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: stuff that they've been told about Trump is not true,
- 1:46:56Speaker 1: you know. So you know, I mean, even in the
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: presidential debate, Kamala had the nerve to push the fine
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: People hoax, claiming that Trump was pro Nazi, which is insane,
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: and in fact, in that the speech she's quoting, he
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: actually condemned Nazis in the strongest possible terms. And yet
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: she still pretended in that presidential debate that he endorsed Nazis.
- 1:47:23Speaker 1: That's a huge lie. And so if somebody's under the
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: impression that Trump is like somehow pro Nazi, even though
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: his son in law is Jewish and he has Jewish grandkids,
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: which would be pretty bizarre, then then you can say, like, actually,
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: that's a hoax. And now that I'm not by the
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: same talking, I'm not I'm not trying to claim that
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: you know, uh, Trump is a flawless individual. You know,
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: I like him personally, but we have to look beyond
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: that and say what are the important policies that will
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: ensure that the country is on the on the right track. So,
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: and you know, I think you say, like, well, you know,
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: for a lot of people, like do you feel safer
- 1:48:13Speaker 1: walking around the streets or do you feel less safe?
- 1:48:16Speaker 1: And when I talk to people, they feel a lot
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: less safe. Do you feel comfortable with an open border
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: policy where anyone can come across even if there are
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: a serial killer? Well, I know that that's very uncomfortable. Actually,
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: do you feel do you feel like we should preserve
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: the Constitution? I think yes we should. Freedom and speech
- 1:48:37Speaker 1: is very important. And you know, if you say, like, well,
- 1:48:42Speaker 1: do you agree with these policies? I think the answer
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: is I think for a reasonable person is going to
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: be yes. And then it's like, well, then you need
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: to sort of look past what you believe the individual,
- 1:48:52Speaker 1: you know, whatever flows you believe the individual has, and
- 1:48:54Speaker 1: say that there are larger issues at stake than what
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: you you know, what you may think about the individual,
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: which also may be wrong, what do you think about
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: the individual? So, and you know, my view about this
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: election is that it's I think this is most likely
- 1:49:12Speaker 1: the last real election because what I see happening is
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: that the Deman administration is bringing in vast numbers of
- 1:49:21Speaker 1: illegals deliberately into swing states. The numbers if you say,
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: like over the past three and a half years, I
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: think it's like there's like a five hundred percent increase
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: in illegals in swing swing states. What a coincidence? Now,
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: when you look at margins of victory that maybe ten
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: twenty thousand votes, and then you bring in two hundred
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: thousand illegals and you legalize them, which is exactly what
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: the sort of comal of puppet regime will do over
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: the next four years. Then you won't have any swing states.
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: Every state will go blue. And at that and and
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: and then we don't have a democracy. We have a
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: we will be a single party state in Pennsylvania. And
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: they're doing it in Pennsylvania big time. So that's why
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: I think if if, if, if Trump is not elected,
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: I think this is the last election where we have
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: we have a two party state. And yeah, so and
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: and and one doesn't need to actually say, well, this
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: is a conspiracy, Just just think about simple incentives the
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: the You have a democratic party that that wants to win,
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: and the path to winning is bringing in large numbers
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: of illegals and especially just wing states and then legalizing
- 1:50:47Speaker 1: them so they can vote. And then that that's what
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: happened in California. And when they did it in California,
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: California went super majority DAM in California has been one
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: party state ever since the you know amness the in
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: the late eighties, essentially one party state. At this point,
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: it's super majority DEM. The only competition that occurs is
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: at the Democratic primary, so that's that's not a real
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: democracy at that point. So this is the last chance.
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: This is the selection's last chance.
- 1:51:18Speaker 45: Yeah, although, mister law Musk, my name is Bran Hoffman.
- 1:51:23Speaker 45: I'm an Air Force veteran, a father of two wonderful boys.
- 1:51:26Speaker 45: As they come up into an age where they start
- 1:51:28Speaker 45: going to school. Do you think it's concerning how public
- 1:51:31Speaker 45: school students are graduating and don't have any understanding about
- 1:51:34Speaker 45: how the government works or what the constitution is at all.
- 1:51:36Speaker 45: I just sat through a college course and they had
- 1:51:38Speaker 45: no idea what.
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: The Constitution was. Yeah, it's crazy. I think we need
- 1:51:43Speaker 1: to teach kids useful skills, and we need to teach
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: some critical thinking and history and why the Constitution is
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: important why you know, I mean, and a lot of schools, uh,
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: you know, because of these days are taught the hate America,
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: which is just crazy, you know. So that's got to stop.
- 1:52:10Speaker 17: Yeah, Hi, Elan, Welcome to Pennsylvania and welcome to the
- 1:52:20Speaker 17: right side of history. We are all very grateful that
- 1:52:24Speaker 17: you are in the right set of history. And I
- 1:52:27Speaker 17: don't know if you watch Trump rallies, I'll watch it
- 1:52:30Speaker 17: all the time in every single rally. He talks about
- 1:52:33Speaker 17: you in every single rally.
- 1:52:34Speaker 45: Well, the.
- 1:52:37Speaker 1: Mutual Admiration Society here, So I'm I like Trouble a lot,
- 1:52:42Speaker 1: and Fatty likes me too.
- 1:52:46Speaker 17: And thank you so much for everything you did for
- 1:52:48Speaker 17: the people affected by Helene came Helen.
- 1:52:52Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
- 1:52:53Speaker 14: It was heartbreaking.
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: Thank you so much, of course.
- 1:52:57Speaker 17: And my question is actually very similar to this gentleman
- 1:53:01Speaker 17: here back in twenty twenty. Well, I was at Oaks
- 1:53:05Speaker 17: last night and you said when you see something, you
- 1:53:08Speaker 17: say something. And back in twenty twenty, a lot of
- 1:53:11Speaker 17: people saw something and they did say something, but it
- 1:53:16Speaker 17: just never went to the judges, like the cases were
- 1:53:19Speaker 17: never heard. And what I want to know, is there
- 1:53:24Speaker 17: anything that the Republicans doing right now that is going
- 1:53:27Speaker 17: to be differently? You know that are we going to
- 1:53:30Speaker 17: like actively trying you know, if somebody doing something actively
- 1:53:35Speaker 17: putting these cases to the judges, so you know, we
- 1:53:39Speaker 17: can't preserve the elections and the freedom in America. Is
- 1:53:43Speaker 17: there anything they're doing differently this time around?
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: Well, this time around, the X platform is not going
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: to suppress any information that so you know, if there's
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: any evidence of election fraud posted on the platform, and
- 1:54:04Speaker 1: uh be as loud as possible and if you, if
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: you've got put as much evidence as possible out there,
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: and let's shine a big light, and the bright of
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: the light, the less the harder will be to cheat.
- 1:54:16Speaker 1: So all right, I'll take a few more questions and
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: they call it a night.
- 1:54:22Speaker 8: Hi.
- 1:54:23Speaker 46: My name is Rebecca, and I just wanted to say
- 1:54:25Speaker 46: thank you for I don't know, like going in front
- 1:54:30Speaker 46: of people and like being sort of awkward.
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, real time questions, scripted.
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: It's like I have like think for a second, like
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer because I just like
- 1:54:43Speaker 1: I just started the question, so.
- 1:54:46Speaker 46: I'm I'm autistic and the club as a girl, Yeah,
- 1:54:51Speaker 46: growing up as as a girl on the spectrum was
- 1:54:54Speaker 46: definitely super hard because we kind of whatever, it doesn't matter.
- 1:54:58Speaker 46: But my whole question is about AI. Okay, Essentially, there
- 1:55:02Speaker 46: I feel like there's like two ways you could like
- 1:55:04Speaker 46: develop AI where it could become sentient and if you
- 1:55:08Speaker 46: sort of like develop AI to become sentient and it's
- 1:55:12Speaker 46: like a programmed thing, you're basically creating like a slave.
- 1:55:16Speaker 46: So therefore my question to you is would you be
- 1:55:19Speaker 46: able or willing to promise to only develop AI into
- 1:55:23Speaker 46: like a sentient being, like through a simulation of like
- 1:55:27Speaker 46: human existence, so that it can actually experience what it
- 1:55:30Speaker 46: might feel like to be a real human. And speaking
- 1:55:33Speaker 46: of the simulation, perhaps that's.
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: What we are.
- 1:55:38Speaker 46: Perhaps we're the AI going to stimulation, and with that,
- 1:55:42Speaker 46: our consciousness level could possibly be related to, like it
- 1:55:46Speaker 46: could be like correlate directly to the amount of tech
- 1:55:50Speaker 46: that we're allowed to have. So if you want to
- 1:55:52Speaker 46: like move past combustion, perhaps we have to like work
- 1:55:56Speaker 46: on the inside of humanity, which is like developing the
- 1:55:58Speaker 46: actual consciousness first.
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure how to ask that exactly, but
- 1:56:07Speaker 1: I think the most most important I think we're developing
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: digital superintelligence. We want to make sure it it is
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: you know, it results in a better future. And I
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: do think probably at some point the AI will be
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: santent or indistinguishable from sentients. And you know, so I
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: don't know what quite what to do about it, except
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: to try to try our best to make make good AI.
- 1:56:44Speaker 1: And like I said, rigorous pursuit of the truth is
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: the most fundamental for AI safety. So just I'll take
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: up you know, one more question, thank you.
- 1:56:56Speaker 47: I just want to thank you for the format today.
- 1:57:00Speaker 47: This is a big breath of fresh air, I'm sure
- 1:57:02Speaker 47: for a lot of people to be able to ask
- 1:57:03Speaker 47: questions and kind of control what's being said. My question is,
- 1:57:08Speaker 47: so our tax dollars are being used for billions of
- 1:57:12Speaker 47: tax dollars to aid in conflicts that many of us
- 1:57:14Speaker 47: don't support, while our governments have helicopters rotor washing civilian
- 1:57:18Speaker 47: aid camps in North Carolina. Thanks to the X platform,
- 1:57:21Speaker 47: we get to see that FEMA is reportedly threatening charges
- 1:57:26Speaker 47: on neighbors that are helping to rebuild their own communities.
- 1:57:28Speaker 47: As well, we have the Department of Defense issuing Directive
- 1:57:31Speaker 47: fifty two forty, which in at least some capacity allows
- 1:57:36Speaker 47: the federal government to direct the military to operate in
- 1:57:39Speaker 47: a law enforcement capacity against its citizens, which is unconstitutional.
- 1:57:44Speaker 47: I think many would say, how do you believe that
- 1:57:48Speaker 47: you and the Trump administration can help us with the
- 1:57:50Speaker 47: lack of accountability and improve trust in the federal government.
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: Well, I think, first of all, I think we should
- 1:57:58Speaker 1: have a lot less federal government, you know, because a
- 1:58:01Speaker 1: lot of times the government just gets in the way
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: and you get these sort of coughsques like bizarre situations
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: where you know, female will operate under some rule where
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: like there they assume responsibility for an area and then
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: they in their rule set they then because they have
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: responsibility for the for an area, they prevent others from helping,
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: even though they are in some cases not helping. So
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: you get this. So, you know, I think the way
- 1:58:31Speaker 1: to like they just have a lot less government. I
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: think the citizens are capable of helping each other and
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: the government certainly should not stand in the way of
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: people helping each other. That's really crazy. So and I
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: think just just being on the ground, being on the ground,
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: and and just like you know, you just need to
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: be on the ground if there's an emergency. You know,
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: you want the head of Homeland Security to be on
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: the ground where the disaster is, not shopping for expensive
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: clothing in New York. Which, so I'll thank on one
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: last question and then call it a night.
- 1:59:10Speaker 48: But yeah, thank you Elin Mark Clark from camp Hill,
- 1:59:14Speaker 48: thank you for being our brave heart for free speech.
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: Well, I hope I don't have the same ending as
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: brave bade. I know, so freedom.
- 1:59:26Speaker 48: But for the first time in my life a long
- 1:59:29Speaker 48: span of voting every election day, I voted early this week.
- 1:59:33Speaker 24: Thank you.
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: Please my courage everyone to vote early and yeah, get registered.
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:59:38Speaker 48: My question is, aside from what you said about self
- 1:59:42Speaker 48: driving cars, what's your stance on government mandates for electric vehicles?
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually generally think that there should not be
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: government mandates. I am. You know, hm, I'm generally against
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: incentives and tax breaks and these for for all industries,
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: so whether you know, uh, I mean there's there are
