1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: States Richard Arnold. Morning, good morning. So I was always

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: going to end in tears, wasn't it? In one way?

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: So I wasn't think who would have predicted? I mean, well,

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: everyone would have predicted right, this bruising breakup. In fact,

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: everyone did, and now it's happening. Without me, Trump would

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: have lost the election, tweets Musk today, he spent a

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: course more than two hundred and fifty million bucks used

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: on the Trump reelection bid, such ingratitude rights Musk. This

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: after President Trump laid into Elon during an Oval office

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: meeting today with Germany's new Chancellor, Frederic Metz. After Musk

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: tweeted kill the Bill, the budget plan that Trump has

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: made the centerpiece of his legislative efforts, Trump was quiet

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: for a couple of days. Well, now he's letting it rip.

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Trump posted on social media, I'm very disappointed in Elon Musk.

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: I've done a lot for him. Trump then rolled out

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: a series of attacks on Elon, whom he says didn't

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: have a problem with the so called big Beautiful Bill

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: until he left the White House just the other day.

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know

20
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: what well anymore. I was surprised.

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: Trump then gave a behind the scenes account of Musk

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: appearing at his White House fair will last week with

23
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: a black eye given to him your recall, according to

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Mask by his four year old son named X A

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: E A twelve little X for short. When Elon says,

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: he told his child to punch him in the face,

27
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: and he did.

28
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: Let's review.

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: So his account of it.

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: Was a man who was very happy when he stood

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: behind the oval desk, and even with the black eye.

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: I said, you want a little make up, We'll get

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: you a little mecca, but he said no, I don't

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: think so, which is interesting.

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not an oval desk. It's rectangular. The Resolute

36
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: desk name from the British exploration ship of that name. Anyway,

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 1: Trump went on in respect of all.

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: Of this, people leave my administration and they love us,

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: and then at some point they miss it so badly,

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: and some of them embrace it, and some of them

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: actually become hostile. I don't know what it is. It's

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it.

43
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: But we'd have it with others too. They leave, and

44
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: they wake up in the morning and the glamour's gone.

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: The whole world is different, and they become.

46
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Hussle Trump derangements syndrome the American president and the world's

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: rich is men over splitting over the issues. Trump says

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: Elon Musk was teed off that they eliminated the ev

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: electric vehicle incentives from the Bunchet Bill and refused to

50
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: name Elon's mate to head the NASA Space Agency. Musk

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: crony Jared Isaacman, a Democrat, fumes Trump, adding that he

52
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: Trump won the election and gets certain privileges in relation

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: to this stuff. Again, Musk says such ingratitude, leading the

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: Daily Show Company team to assist what Elon got for

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: his political contribution.

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: Let's review all that Elon Musk has gained from his

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty eight million dollar investment into this presidency.

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: One hundred million and NASA contracts. He got to freeze

59
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: forty federal investigations against his companies, fired anybody who could

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: regulate or tax him, and he got the President of

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: the United States to plug his car company. And Trump

62
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 3: almost pronounced its name correctly. He loove Tessler.

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: Musque called the Trump budget. They discussed the abomination, says

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: he is only concerned about the country, not about money,

65
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: Perish had thought. The budget plan still combines more than

66
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: four trillion in tax cuts and others spending with less

67
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: than two trillion in cuts to healthcare and food aid

68
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: for the poor, leaving a two point four trillion additional

69
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: deaf as of blowouts, say the experts, on top of

70
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: existing thirty six trillion US national debt. How'd the phone

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: call go with you? Well, they say it was an

72
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: excellent phone call. That's what they say about pretty much

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: every one of these things. Busy time for Trump dealing

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: with foreign leaders. He spoke with she for about nineteen

75
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: minutes on trade issues. Was their first director chitchat since

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: the Trump tariff battles started. The talks occurred at the

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Americans request. Trump then posted that the Chinese leader is

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: quote very tough and extremely hard to make a deal with.

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: The current US tarafon Chinese goods is thirty percent down

80
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five percent. Initially, the two men

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: agreed to visits in the future at time's not given.

82
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: They've said they want to revive trade talks after the

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: US accused Beajing of violating their recent Geneva agreements. Trump

84
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: also spoke with Russius Putin, who declared he plans a

85
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: very strong retaliation against Ukraine for that attack this week

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: on the Russian planes the bombers. Trump then compared the

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: war to a fight between two little kids who hate

88
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: each other, saying sometimes you just have to let them

89
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: fight it out for time before they can be peace.

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: Asked about further US sanctions on Russia, Trump again gave

91
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: no timetable, but says he will know within himself if

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: and when it is time for a tougher US policy.

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: Yes, grasshopper, Oga, have a good one.

94
