WEBVTT - Celebrating Elon - March 19th, Hour 3 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:04.920 Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.720 All right, news round up, Information overload. Our toll free 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:09.840 Our number is eight hundred and nine to FOURT one, 0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.520 Shawn if you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.360 As we told you and we've been discussing today, Cash 0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.200 Betel's FBI has launched a formal investigation into the Tesla 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:23.560 takedown terrorists, the people that are responsible for firing bullets 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:28.120 into Tesla dealerships and setting Tesla cars on fire, on 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:32.120 top of putting charging stations on fire. The Attorney General, 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:37.360 Pam Bondi has now vowed to impose severe consequences on 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.560 those who are bankrolling the Tesla domestic terrorism that's going 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.240 on around the country. A doxing website has now a 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:50.080 merged showing the personal details of Tesla owners. It has 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.080 a Molotov cocktail as a cursor. I talked to Elon 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.880 about this this on the heels of the SpaceX Dragon 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:04.920 capsule splashing down, successfully rescuing two astronauts lost in space 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:10.360 and abandoned for nine months, and it's really unbelievable that 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.720 this is all happening. We now have you know Elon haters, 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.160 you know hitting facilities in Vegas, Kansas City, and Arson. 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.319 They're just the latest. And it just goes on and 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.520 on and on. What has he done. He's rescued astronauts, 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.839 He's moving towards helping the blind to see and those 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:35.039 with spinal cord injuries walk. He is He's launched SpaceX. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.520 He's got the most innovative car ever, creative self driving, 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:45.160 which has incredible speed and horsepower. On top of, you know, 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.600 helping out people that were out of communication capabilities after 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.880 Hurricane Helene and after the wildfires in California. And then 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.560 of course he's cutting waste, fraud and abuse, and that 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.080 I mentioned he makes the most American made car in 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.520 the entire entry. And by the way, we're giving one away. 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.440 If you go to Hannity dot com, our word of 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:08.840 the day is SpaceX. You can register very easily, very simple, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.919 Hannity dot com for that. All right, here's my interview 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.600 with Elon. As I said in my opening monologue monologue 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.560 earlier today, SpaceX successfully completed its rescue of two astronauts 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.720 who spent nine months stranded in space. They were only 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.320 supposed to be there eight days. SpaceX founder chief engineer 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.920 CEO Elon Musk. He now joins us for an exclusive interview. Elon, 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.680 First of all, what a triumph to the human spirit, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:39.680 human ingenuity engineering. First of all, on behalf of I 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.120 know many people in this audience thank you for what 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.200 you did for those astronauts today. How are you feeling, 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.320 you know throughout the day? I mean I know I 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:54.560 felt butterflies in my stomach and I rarely feel them. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:59.040 Well, I'm actually usually a little nervous about these returns 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.440 because there's sum risk did something to go wrong. But 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.880 thanks to the excellent work of the SpaceX team working 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:09.520 with NASA, the astronauts are now safely home. And so 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.040 congratulations to the SpaceX NASA teams on excellent work. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.280 And a huge note of. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:20.480 Appreciation to President Trump for prioritizing and expanding their return. 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.760 You have been the chief engineer of SpaceX and remain 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.760 the chief engineer of SpaceX. It is the first private 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.160 company to ever make it to orbit. Walk us through 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.920 the beginnings of that. It is not it's something that 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.440 nobody else has been able to accomplish. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.240 Well, it's quite a long story. There are some books 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.960 that have been written about it. But in the beginning 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.880 we didn't actually know anything about rockets. So our first 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.000 three missions failed, actually of our Falcon one rocket, and 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.800 we almost ran out of money and just barely made 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.920 it with the fourth launch. If the fourth launch of 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.320 Falcon one had not succeeded, we would have failed as 0:03:59.320 --> 0:03:59.720 a company. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.400 Just barely made it. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.760 So I have to say that I was not a 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.880 very good chief engineer in the beginning, but I did 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.480 learn over time, and I think we've gotten at this. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.920 Point to where the vehicle is very reliable and we are. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.880 Going to be able to take. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.599 Ashalts to Mars. 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.640 In fact, we want to take anyone who goes to 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.640 Mars and ultimately build a self sustaining civilization on Mars. 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.080 That is the long term goal of the company. Make 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.080 life healthy anything. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.880 I mean, that is a very bold vision. How long 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.920 do you think that might take SpaceX to be able 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.920 to accomplish. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.039 I think we could do it in twenty to thirty years. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:45.640 Lifetime should say. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.040 If God blesses me with a longer life than I deserve, right, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.240 I could always hope. I would love to be able 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.120 to see that. That would be amazing. I happen to 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:56.719 have a telescope and I love to look at the 0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.720 stars in the sky and the planets, and I am 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.080 amazed at the majesty of all of creation and the 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.279 idea that we even look at the moon and we 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.119 can go there and come back, or a space station, 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.840 or you launching the hundreds of satellites you have. I 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.360 want to ask you this question if I may, and 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:22.360 it's you know, every aspect of this rescue had challenges 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:28.719 and danger. The launch we start there, then the rocket landing, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.280 I mean we showed I couldn't believe you were able 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:35.479 to land the rocket that fell off perfectly where you 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.480 wanted it to land, the docking video when they actually 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.160 connected and got onto the space station. Then the taking 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.400 off earlier today was a seventeen hour trip leading to 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.479 the splashdown that all of America watched today. Every single 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:55.200 aspect of that has danger and complications. Walk us through 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:56.960 the dangers. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:05:58.960 Well. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.240 On the cent phase, there's always some chance that either 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.120 the first or second stage will blow up. In fact, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.040 it's I find it's actually remarkable when you see a rocket. 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.919 I mean when I see the rocket, I see a 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.599 list of all the things that are wrong, all of 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.720 the ways that it could go wrong and potentially fail. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.200 So you could have a first stage failure, second stage failure, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.760 stage separation failure. The dragon could fail separate from the rocket, 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.120 the trunk could fail separate from dragon. Uh, there could 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.680 be a sort of an engine failure on the spacecraft 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.680 itself when when it's coming back, it's coming in so 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.640 fast it's a blazing meteor, and if anything happens to 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.080 the heat shield, uh, the the whole craft. 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:41.640 Is going to disintegrate. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.599 So it's remarkable that humans can actually go all the 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.440 way to orbit and and come back from orbit, given 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.120 the immense amounts of energy that is required to get 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.360 to orbit and the amount of energy aunt that must 0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.560 be dissipated upon return, and then the paracy have to open. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.040 Battle has to work. Now long term we are going 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.200 to be doing not long term. This year, in fact, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.760 we are launching the Starship rocket, which I recommend maybe 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.520 doing a peace on because that is truly a revolutionary rocket. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.360 It is the Starship is the first rocket that has 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.840 the potential to make life multiplanetary, to make us a 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.040 multiflanet civilization for the first time in the history of Earth. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.240 And that's truly profound. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.200 What was amazing, and I studied a lot of this 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.720 because of my need to cover it. At one point, 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:42.160 going seventeen thousand miles per hour, going through thirty five 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:47.440 hundred degrees fahrenheit, you have this thermal protection system. Now 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.440 we do know that the Boeing Starliner, we know that 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.680 it had problems. So these problems that you talk about, 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.240 we can't take them for granted or get complacent. Explain 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:03.640 how house you get up to seventeen thousand miles per hour, 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.720 how do you withstand thirty five hundred degrees fahrenheit and 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.880 the thermal protection system that protects that capsule, and then 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.120 the launch obviously the parachutes which were critical to slow 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.000 it down for it's splash down. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:20.520 Yeah, that's I'm pass. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.680 Weish to do a longer segment because I'd be happy 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:26.040 to explain it in detail. I'll do the I don't know, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:27.200 the two minute version. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.760 Here. The falcon iine rocket takes off with. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.360 One point seven million pounds of thrust, so you can 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.520 imagine something that has enough thrust to lift an office 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:45.839 building off its foundations, and that it gets to orbit. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.080 It gets to roughly seventeen thousand miles an hour in 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.440 nine minutes, So from zero to seventeen thousand miles an 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:55.360 hour in nine minutes. And then it's just when it 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.240 comes back. You've got that heat shield that's got to 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.320 dissipate that energy. Like I said, you're coming in like 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.079 a blazing meteor, and hardly anything can survive that heat. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.200 And if the heat shield fails, you just get fathor 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:12.560 riized immediately. So we're really testing the very edge of 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.319 human ability here, at the very edge of material science. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.440 And it's kind of amazing that humans can do this 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:18.760 at all. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.400 But hopefully this gives Hopefully for people out there, this 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.960 is a moment of optimism about the future, a moment 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.280 of excitement about the future, and it portends great things 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.640 for America and humanity in space. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.200 I'm only going to ask you one political question, just 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.680 for clarification purposes only. I don't think this should really 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.920 be a political night. I think this is a moment 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.880 where the country should should celebrate the fact that you 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.400 were able to rescue them, that it happened successfully in 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.679 spite of the difficulty, the challenges, and the danger. But 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.760 I just want to clarify on the issue of whether 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:00.559 or not you had offered to send this rocket to 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.040 space to rescue these astronauts sooner. To Joe Biden and 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.680 Kamala Harris. I heard somebody earlier today say, in fact, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.520 that didn't happen, when I believe it did. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:15.760 No, we definitely offered to return the astronauts earlier. There's 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.760 no question about that. The astronauts were only supposed to 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.360 be there for eight days, and they've been there for 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:26.800 almost ten months, so obviously that doesn't make any sense. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.280 SpaceX could have brought the astionals back after a few 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.280 months at most, and we made that offer to. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.120 The Bide administration. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.480 It was rejected for political reasons, and that's just a fact. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.760 Yeah, you know, I followed this from the very beginning. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.360 Did America and the world make a mistake by slowing 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.880 down going to the Moon and to other planets? Was 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.520 that a mistake on our part? I mean, don't we 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.560 have so many scientific and innovative breakthroughs every time we go. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:05.000 Well, I think we'll have tremendous breakthroughs well when we 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.480 establish a city base and then a city on Mars, 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.160 because we'll have to overcome so many challenges that it 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.880 will drive it will serve as a forcing function for 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.679 the development of new technologies that will have tremendous benefits to. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:20.360 People on Earth. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.559 Let's talk a little bit if we can about the 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.440 health issues that the astronauts will face. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:28.520 They were only to train. 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:32.080 They only trained for an eight day mission, but there 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:38.560 are certainly things involved with returning to gravity, adjusting to gravity, nauseousness, 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.720 but then it gets a little bit more serious, a 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:45.200 variety of other health problems. Bones become about one percent 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.079 less tense for every month that they are in space. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.960 That could lead to issues like osteoporosis or bone fracture, 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.400 et cetera. Astronauts grow in space because the spinal column expands. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.000 There was one astronaut, Scott Kelly, he became two inches 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.200 taller and others. Then when it contracts when you come back, 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.320 then they have some back issues. They have vision issues 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.360 because fluids in the eye shift upward to the head. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.160 You can explain baby feet if you want. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:14.240 They will. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:20.080 They will have some significant health issues that they're going 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.400 to be facing, but they'll be okay. 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:23.560 Uh yeah. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.959 The normal amount of time that astronauts are supposed to 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.640 be in zero G is about three months and then 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.400 really at the most about six months. That's that's sort 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.720 of the normal rotation, and they were up there for 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.160 almost ten months, so that's really going beyond what is 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:40.320 healthy or good. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.640 So it's a it's a good thing. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.680 That thanks to this port of President Trump, we hope 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.280 to bring them back, because really things get just a 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.520 lot worse if they stay in zero gy for you know, 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:54.760 past a year or more. 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.360 You know, what you were able to accomplish today really 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.920 is pretty It's just fascinates me. I'm interested in every 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.439 aspect of it. I think, you know, it was pretty 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.800 public that I bought one of your Tesla's. I don't 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.680 like the way that people And by the way, it's 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.199 like the greatest car ever invented. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:16.840 It really is. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.800 And I'm not just saying that it's self driving. It's 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.679 got a thousand horsepower. It goes from zero to sixty 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.400 in zero point two seconds. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.600 It's the most market two seconds. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.280 Two seconds zero I'm sorry, not zero point it goes 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.640 into zero two point oh seconds. 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.160 I think it would kill you basically if it wasn't that. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.680 But itself, it's pretty fast, that's for sure. It's fast 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.240 than Ferrari for example. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.640 Yeah, no, I watched it beat my z O six. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.800 I'm like, I thought that was the greatest muscle car. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:50.360 No, it's not. 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.320 I watched the I watched the s Plaid beat it 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.520 all right. More of my interview with Elon coming up 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.000 straight ahead, eight hundred and nine four one Shawn our number. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.640 We'll also get to your calls coming up as we continue. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:05.080 Let me play for you some of the just outright hatred, 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.040 the vitriol, the venom that is coming from the anti 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:16.199 Elon Musk, anti Doge, anti SpaceX, anti Tesla, anti anything 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.760 you know, anti cutting, waste, fraud and abuse, radical left, 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.760 including Tim Walls listen saying on. 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:25.960 My phone, I don't some of me know this on 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.160 the iPhone, they've got that little stock app. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.400 I added Tesla tode to give me a little boost 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:30.800 during the. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:41.720 Day two twenty five and dropping so. And if you own. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.200 One, if you own one, we're not blaming you. You 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.160 can you can take dental floss and pull the Tesla 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.400 thing off, you know, and take out of just telling. 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:55.080 You Elon Musk, you didn't create USAID. The United States 0:14:55.240 --> 0:15:01.320 Congress did for the American people. Like Elon Musk did 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.960 not create USAID. He doesn't have the power to destroy it. 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:11.480 And who's gonna stop him. We are We're gonna stop him. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:17.960 We are witnessing a constitutional crisis. We talked about Trump 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.840 wanting to be a dictator on day one, and here 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:27.640 we are. This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like. 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:33.840 When you got the constitution and you install yourself as 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:39.560 the sole power. That is how dictators are made. What 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:44.560 Trump and Elon and all of their cruities are trying 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:50.280 to do is take away the constitutional power of Congress today. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.000 It's USA tomorrow. 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:57.440 It's our healthcare, it's social security, it's our livelihoods, it's 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:02.320 our freedoms. So stand up for you, say today, USA today, 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.200 so that we can stand up for all of our 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.240 freedoms in the days ahead. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.920 This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:12.360 Let's call it what it is. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.240 The people get to decide how we defend the United 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.280 States of America. The people get to decide how their 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.680 tax mayer money is spent. Elon Musk does not get 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:24.600 to decide. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.160 We are here to save lives because that is what 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.680 AID does, and no one elected Elon Musk. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:34.520 To dismantle it. 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.360 And Elon, if you want to run AID, get nominated 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.760 by Trump and go to the Senate and good luck 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:48.920 and getting confirmed. Yeah, Elon Musk, where are you bring 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.560 your ass of a hair so you can say who's here? 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.080 This is like a bank robber trying to fire the 0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.480 cops and. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.800 Turn off the alarms just before he strolls into the lobby. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.240 We are here to fight back. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.800 That is what they are doing. They are dismantling the 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:18.360 federal government, which will deny the American people to services 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:23.359 and the resources that allow them to help to raise 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.240 their families, have a secure economy and a secure future 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:28.040 for themselves. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:34.280 Every time you hear goaje the Department of Government Efficiency, 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.960 you just remember it is the Department of government evil. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:40.240 Over. 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.640 While we're sitting here, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:50.480 recklessly and illegally dismantling the federal government, shuttering federal agencies, 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.520 firing federal workers withholding funds vital to the safety and 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:58.560 well being of our communities, and hacking our sensitive data systems. 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.600 Now, we should in no way be cooperating with House 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.560 Republicans who want to shut down the Department of Education 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.000 and destroy Medicare and Medicaid. And we should not stand 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.480 by as the richest man on the planet gives himself 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.560 and his companies huge tax cuts while the American people 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:21.080 get absolutely nothing. Joe's staff to carry out this agenda 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:27.879 across all these agencies, and in some cases actually teenage staffers, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:33.000 no accountability, no experience, and problematic records. They're trying to 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.920 rob you, and they're probably a minor. 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.520 I don't want anyone to believe that Democrats just come 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.399 to work and don't plan to do work. In fact, 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.840 I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is that 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.120 the Republicans believe our job is, because right now they 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:56.359 have relinquished their constitutional duties over to an unelected bureaucrat. 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.240 You know what, Elon Musk doesn't seem to be looking 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.480 into his own contracts. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.360 The hate, the venom, It is real, It is sad, 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.240 it is pathetic, and where are the people on the 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:12.480 left speaking out about it? Their silence is deafening as usual, 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.040 you know, the big January sixth crowd, the ones that 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:21.119 want to continue to talk about January sixth, twenty twenty. Anyway, 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.560 more of my interview with Elon Musk will pick it 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:28.399 up where we left off. You're into robotics AI. You 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.439 are working with neurolinks so the blind can see, and 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.359 people with spinal cord injuries may one day walk. You 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.440 help people in North Carolina, You help people in California 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.360 when they have no communications. And I watch all of 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:47.560 this and I have to ask, why, why do I 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.680 see people like I woke up this morning and saw 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.360 that Tesla's will put a blaze in one of your 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:59.080 dealerships in Vegas. I've seen this happen all over the country. 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.919 Bullets are being fed, charging stations, have put a blaze, 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:06.720 Tesla's are being put a blaze. You have experienced assassination, 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.159 threats of assassination for you and your family. What have 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:15.720 you done that warrants this because I see nothing that 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.560 you have done except helbar country. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:19.760 Yeah. 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:21.879 I mean, it's really come as quite a shock to 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:26.639 me that there's this level of really hatred and violence 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:32.720 from the left. I thought the left of the Democrats 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:35.200 were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:39.280 of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're fire 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:44.600 a bumby dealerships, they're firing bullets into dealerships, They're just 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:48.359 you know, smashing up Tesla's. Tesla is a peaceful company. 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.680 We've never done anything hawful. I've never done anything howful. 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.439 I've only done productive things. So I think we just 0:20:55.560 --> 0:21:01.000 have a deranged there's some kind mental illness thing going 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:02.639 on here, because this doesn't make any sense. 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:05.800 Yeah, I think there are larger forces at work as well. 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.080 I mean, I don't know who's funding it and who's coordinating, 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:10.000 because this is this is crazy. 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:11.159 I've never seen anything like this. 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.040 You actually tweeted out and I'll put it on the screen. 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.080 The level of violence is insane. 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:17.320 It is deeply wrong. 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:21.520 Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:26.600 deserve these evil attacks. You just rescue two astronauts that 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.160 have been in space for two hundred and eighty six days. 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.520 They were only supposed to be there eight. You help 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:35.840 the people in North Carolina, Tennessee, California. You have I 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:39.320 think the most creative and innovative car in the market. 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.360 You created Starlink for communications that's used by hundreds of countries. 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.480 You're working on helping the blind see and all of 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.560 these other things. Is it really? Is it really come 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:52.359 down to the basic You're aligned with President Donald Trump, 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.719 who also is a friend of mine, and that you 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.439 have identified well over one hundred billion dollars of waste, 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.879 fraud of use that our federal government never should have 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:03.439 been spending. Is that what it comes down to. 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:09.240 Yeah, it's it turns out when you take away people's 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.600 you know what, the money they're receiving. Fortunately, they get 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:17.480 very upset and they they basically want to kill me 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.880 because I'm stopping their fraud and they want to hurt 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:26.639 Tesla because they're stopping this terrible waste and corruption in 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:32.720 the government. And well, I guess they're bad people. Bad 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:33.840 people will do bad things. 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:40.680 Well, I know that overall, you know, financially, in the end, yes, 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.320 they can hurt you. But the people that they'll end 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:46.000 up hurting are the people that work in your dealerships 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.840 that may risk losing their job. The people that they 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.560 may end up hurting are the people that work on 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.960 the line and build the teslas. They're going to be hurt, 0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:59.560 and that to me is despicable in their part, just 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:03.280 because they might have a paral difference or perceived political difference. 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:05.840 Let me let me ask you this because I think 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.920 this is pretty important. You know, the average American makes 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:13.240 sixty six thousand dollars a year. We're close to forty 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.679 thousand dollars in debt. You said to me in our 0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:22.000 last interview, we won't have a country unless we fix it. Now, 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:25.760 can you explain why this is so important that we 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:27.760 identify all this waste. 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:33.399 Yes, the government sort of, the government waste and fraud 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:37.840 is so high that it's causing a two trillion dollar 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:43.160 annual deficit. So that's two thousand billion dollars of waste 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:47.520 and fraud that's happening. And the cost of our debt 0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.280 has gotten so high that just the interest payments on 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:54.000
