1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: States are Rich and Arnold Morning, good what he made? 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,279 Speaker 1: Judges and courts, and Musk and Doze. 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, Yes, Trump two point zero getting a positive 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: approofal rating, however, and a new CBS poll out today 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 2: which gives Trump a fifty three percent favorability score for 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 2: doing what he said he would do. When it comes 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: down to details, that support and not so strong. Few 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 2: are backing the idea of taking over Gaza. There are 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: also very mixed feelings about the raid on the US 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: government by the richest man in the world, Elon Mask, 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: who's approach is to barrel in as fast as he 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: can before opposition and the courts can intervene, flood the zone. 13 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: As they say, some sixty five thousand federal workers so 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: far have agreed to take retirement buy out. This is 15 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: a teeny tiny fraction, but Musk's mostly anonymous crew has 16 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: access now to at least ten federal agencies, including the 17 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is supposed to protect consumers, 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: was virtually shut down overnight, with workers told us stay home. 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: In response, the courts have begun to respond with some 20 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: forty lawsuits. Farther, However, the law as we know moves 21 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: slowly and often not very effectively. In this land, Trump 22 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: is said to be agitated by the spotlight that Elon 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: is getting, including that Time magazine cover showing Elon Musk 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: sitting there he is behind the presidential desk, the resolute 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: desk in the Oval Office. Trump said he is not 26 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: bothered by any of that yet. This is, of course, 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: the same Trump who made fake Time magazine covers to 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: her on the walls of some of his golf courses. 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: Trump was asked about Elon. Is there anything you've told 30 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: Elon Musk he cannot touch? 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: Well, we haven't discussed that much. 32 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 2: I'll tell him to go here, go there. He does it. 33 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: He's got a very capable group of people, very very 34 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: very very capable. They know what they're doing. Aha. The 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: person on the Musk team who got access to the 36 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: Treasury Central Payment system has just been reinstated after a 37 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: fhurl over the discovery of his racist social media. Twenty 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: five year old Marco Ellez was found to have posted 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: things like quote you could not pay me to marry 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: outside my ethnicity end quote. He wrote, also quote I 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: was racist before it was cool end quote. Also normalize 42 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: Indian hate end quote That last one led to I 43 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: think a pretty bizarre exchange. Trump VP JD. Vance is 44 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: married to an Indian woman who had and had an 45 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: Indian wedding ceremony. Vance wrote, I obviously disagree with some 46 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: of Alezz's posts, but stupid social media should not ruin. 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: A kid's life. 48 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 2: This is one of the very capable people the president 49 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: speaks of. I guess. Democratic Congressman Roe Kenna, who is 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: of Indian descent, asked Vance if he would seek an 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: apology from ales you discussed me, Vance wrote to the 52 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: lawmaker in response, so disgusted by that, but not by 53 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: the initial social media post. Meantime, another in the Musk 54 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: team is a nineteen year old called Edward Corristine, who 55 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: has a background as a computer hacker and called himself 56 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: online big balls. Yeah. Also, President Trump has signed now 57 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: an executive order to stop all aids to South Africa 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: as punish for what the Trump team says were rights 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: violations by South African government against some of its white citizens. 60 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: Trump is offering white Africana's resettlement in the United States. 61 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 2: One of their groups has declined that offer because Elon 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: Musk was born in South Africa and Peter Teal, the 63 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: tech bro who pushed JD. Vans into the political spotlight, 64 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: also lived in South Africa for a time, so Silicon 65 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: Valley types who grew up with the experience of South 66 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: African Aparthe eight and the move to shift to a 67 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: post Aparthe eight regime, all of. 68 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: That on hold for now.

Ever, pretty likely. 72 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: It usually gets bigger and bigger year by year. Should 73 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 2: be a great game. The team rivals, the Kansas City 74 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, are thought by the experts 75 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: to be roughly on par, with the Eagles having perhaps 76 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: the strongest overall lineup, but the Chiefs, looking to their 77 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: quarterback Patrick Mahomes more dat thing. I just want to 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: maximize the opportunity in that I have here, and that's 79 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: leaving everything I have in the football field and just 80 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: let it rely on my teammates to go out and 81 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 2: handle the rest. 82 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: Well. 83 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: The Chiefs are happy to make history.
