WEBVTT - Vivek Ramaswamy - November 19th, Hour 2 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.120 Thank you, Scott Shannon, Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.400 hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, our number if you 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:08.719 want to be a part of the program. I've been 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:16.040 saying that this country overwhelmingly voted for dramatic change in Washington, 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.000 and for all those conservatives out there, and that would 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:23.919 even include establishment conservatives, they've given lip service to the 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:29.200 idea of cutting ways, fraud, abuse, etc. Viveg Ramaswami, who 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.840 along with Elon Musk, is going to be heading up 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:36.000 the Department of Government Efficiency, welcome back to the program, sir, 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.479 And you know, conservatives have given lip service to this 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.640 idea of ending waste, fraud, abuse, and cutting the bloated 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.640 bureaucracy in Washington. I have hope, really for the first 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.159 time of my adult life, that this is serious. You 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.400 mean it, it's real, and it's going to happen. 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:58.440 Yes, Sean, that's exactly right. Because politicians, frankly, even Republicans, 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.600 have paid lip service to this subjective for a long time. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.920 Very little has ever happened. And that's why we're doing 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.440 things differently. First of all, we've got a president who 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.360 is himself an outsider, who is elected with a decisive mandate. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.960 With both Houses of Congress under Republican control and a 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.760 six to three majority on the Supreme Court of conservative justices. 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.959 The last time those stars have aligned is basically never 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.440 in modern American history. So it's a rare moment. And 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.960 we're also doing things differently. Where Elon and I were 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:32.000 not politicians, we are outsiders. We're entrepreneurs. We're not joining 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.240 the government. We're outside volunteers because we've got to preserve 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.200 that creativity and latitude that when you join the government 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:39.759 to I. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.160 Mean, you're going to be doing this for free. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.360 I'm just asking yes, Yes, Elon and I are not 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.680 in this for the money. We're in this for saving 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:47.280 the country. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:48.200 And Tom, well, you've. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.120 Been pretty successful. I got to tip my hat to you. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.120 So you are a successful business guy. 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.760 Yeah. Look, I've built multi billion dollar businesses. I've a 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.040 self made billionaire before the age of forty, and I've 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.040 got two kids who I'm worried are going to go 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.840 up in a country where they can't live that American 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.800 dream unless we actually pass it on. And the federal 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.760 bureaucracy is I think the number one obstacle Shaan standing 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.600 in the way it is the growth of this nanny 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.000 state in the United States of America and the administrative 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.160 bureaucracy required to administer it. It's anti American. It's also 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.799 anti constitutional because right now, the people we elect to 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.079 run the government, they're not even the ones who are 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.080 actually running the government. It's the unelected bureaucrats who are 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:33.200 making most policies. And that is a betrayal of democracy 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.720 and what our republic is supposed to be about. And 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.359 so this project is as much about efficiency and saving dollars, 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.079 which is of course important. It's as much about that 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.720 as it is restoring self governance in America. And yes, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.320 I am confident we're going to do both those things. 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.920 And one of the things that's also different, Sean is 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.360 most government programs, I think Reagan said it is the 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.200 closest thing to eternal life, is a new government program. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.920 Most government programs never die, they never go away. With DOGE, 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.720 we're doing it differently. We have set an expiration date 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.639 for DOGE of July fourth, twenty twenty six. How do 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.400 we pick that? Well, first of all, we wanted to 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.280 get this done in a year and a half. And 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.960 the second of all is that sactly the two hundred 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.799 and fiftieth birthday of the United States of America, the 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.960 two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.919 And I can think of no better gift to our 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.280 nation than a smaller government of a size that would 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.960 make our founding fathers proud. And so that's what we're 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.079 working at breakneck speed to achieve. We're already getting started underway. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.880 And I think that the way I look at it, Sean, 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.000 is it's now or never. If we don't get it 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.320 done this time, it's not going to happen in America. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.560 But it is going to happen this time because of 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.960 the mandate that we've been given by the people of 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.160 this country. Elon and I are excited. We've got getting 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.640 our hands dirty all the way easy to talk about this. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.080 The harder part is going to be executing it. But 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.760 we're up to the challenge and we know we're going 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.440 to face resistance. We're okay with that. We're ready for it. 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.600 It's not just about ending waste, fraud and abuse. It's 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.040 also what we're talking about is America returning to its 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.240 founding principles, and that would be limited government, greater freedom. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.560 And you've gone into some detail as has Elon, and 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.880 that you expect certain agencies to just outright be deleted 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.760 and returning other departments to the states where they would 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.719 be better able to handle it. For example, that in education, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.239 I think that should be done on the local level. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.240 But we're talking about the FEC, the SEC. What departments 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.359 outright are you talking about that you expect can be deleted? 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.800 Look, I think that we're going to get into the 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.120 specific details on January twentieth and onward. We're not going 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.719 to play our cards too specifically beforehand because we know 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.440 the resistance we're going to run into. We also want 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.400 to give ourselves the time and latitude, as we're doing 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.400 right now, to dig into those details. But what people 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:51.800 can expect is a mass downsizing, not an incremental downsizing, 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.880 a mass downsizing of the fourth branch of government, the 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.479 administrative state. The people who work in three letter agencies, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.280 even agencies that aren't deleted, are going to see mass 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.280 headcount reductions. They're going to see mass reductions in the 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.479 number of regulations that they're enforcing or allowed to enforce, because, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.240 after all, the Supreme Court has told the administrative State 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.440 that many of those regulations are unconstitutional. So this is 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:21.000 about realigning our constitutional republic with our founding principles, actually 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:25.000 following the US Constitution with three branches of government, not four. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.320 And are there going to be some agencies that are 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.800 outright eliminated as part of that. Yes, One the President 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.760 Trump has talked about openly is the US Department of Education. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.279 You mentioned it as well, But that is an example 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.400 of the kind of agency that need not actually exist 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.880 for our future republic to thrive. And that's the approach 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.600 that we're taking. Sewan Is. It's not an incremental approach. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.960 I think if you take an incremental approach, that's going 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.479 to be set up for failure that's been tried before. 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.080 But if you take an actual quantum leap approach, and 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.960 I do think that that's why we're approaching this as 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.880 entrepreneurs and not politicians. If you take that quantum leap approach, 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.800 fighting success is actually going to be achievable and nothing 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.440 it's easy. But I'm saying we're up for the challenge, 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.160 and I believe that we're going to do something that 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.080 hasn't been done in modern American history because that's what 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.760 saving our country requires. 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.080 I think it will include or must include the elimination 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.960 of baseline budgeting, which, for those people that may not know, 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.080 that would mean the built in increases in every department, 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.560 in spending and all throughout government every year without any 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.800 reductions at all. Years ago, there was something called the 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.720 Penny Plan that would if you cut one penny out 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.479 of every dollar and didn't increase spending every year for 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.599 seven years, you would have balanced the budget. That was 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.760 put forward by then Congressman Connie Mack, who promises the 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:46.040 President has made, and one is to modernize our military 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.160 and get rid of woke and increase recruitment. It scares 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:54.080 me that China and Russia have hypersonic technology and we 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.000 do not. I think we're going to have to spend 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:02.560 a lot of money there preserving and and helping two 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.159 departments two promises to the American people. Social Security and 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.159 Medicare has to be high on the list. Both of 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.800 them are headed towards insolvency. We can't allow that to happen. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.680 That was a promise made and it must be a 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:18.080 promise kept to the American people. I would imagine you 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.560 could reform them, but I do think that you're going 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.240 to have to look for other sources of income as well. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.400 I think the greatest opportunity financially that this country has 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:33.240 is the incredible energy resources that have gone untapped. And 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.800 if we start providing all the energy needs of Western 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.760 Europe alone, this would make America would become the most 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.240 energy dominant country on the face of the earth and 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.760 make us an energy wealthy nation. And I think that 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.880 could down That could pay down the debt, and I 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.160 think it could do a lot of other things, lower taxes, 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.560 and everybody could benefit from it. 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.240 You're absolutely right about that, Sean. And actually what stands 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.040 in the way of doing that comes back to the 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.440 regulatory state. Permitting is far more difficult than to be 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.080 opening up a new refinery, far more difficult than it 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.600 needs to be, as. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.320 The last time we opened one forty years ago. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.280 It's unbelievable, Sean. It's unacceptable in the United States of 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.320 America for us to squander the natural resources that God 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.720 has given this country for us to not be able 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.280 to use them. But if you think about every domain, 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.880 you think about healthcare, think about inefficiency, international defense, think 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.679 about the ineffectiveness of how we're harnessing our own energy, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.320 it comes back down to the bureaucratic states. And so 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.400 in many ways, this project our Department of Government Efficiency 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.440 DOAJ This is I think the epicenter, it's the nerve 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.040 center for saving the country. And so the stakes are 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.320 high and we're up for the challenge. And I'm grateful 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.400 to President Trump for really being pretty creative and out 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.920 of the box. This is not something that presidents usually do. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.920 You know, most presidents may at most may set up 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.079 some type of commission that's cutting ribbons and issuing final reports. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.320 This isn't cutting ribbons. This is about cutting cost in 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.960 a serious way. It's about cutting bureaucracy in a serious way. 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.880 We're going to be doing it on a real time 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.360 basis in delivering those recommendations. And so I think that 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.560 this is going to be a historic opportunity. It's up 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.559 to us to seize it. We're going to have to 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.559 do a good job of explaining this to the American 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.400 people along the way, too, shots because you know, are 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.520 there going to be some bumps in the road if 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.200 you're looking at making cuts that deep, of course, and 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.160 I think most people understand that. Most people are taxpayers 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.400 who know that their tax dollars are not being spent properly, 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.400 and the fact that there's a bureaucracy that's standing in 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.280 the way of this country is a major problem. Most 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.080 people get that, but I think we're going to have 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.040 to really do a better do a good job of 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.520 being able to explain that over the next year and 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.520 a half as we make some pretty serious changes. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:45.680 Well, let me ask this, are you prepared because the 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:50.640 bureaucracy will go to great lengths to protect the bureaucracy 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:56.400 and stop you from instituting what are needed and fundamental 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.040 changes to how we approach governing. I mean, you're talking 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.960 about a top to bottom, you know, remake of what 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:08.000 we have come to know as this massive bureaucracy. I'm 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.280 fully supportive of it, and you rightly point out conservatives 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.480 have a given lip service to it, but when given 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.000 the opportunity, they've never taken advantage of it. This is 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:20.160 the opportunity of a lifetime. This maybe the only opportunity 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.160 our country ever has. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.880 I agree with you, which is why we don't really 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.360 care about the resistance from the bureaucrats. And we're going 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.839 to get a lot of resistance from entrenched interests and 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.400 bureaucrats in Washington, DC that doesn't matter to us because 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.520 American people are on our side, voters are on our side, 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.880 and I think history is on our side. Our country 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.200 has thrived without the existence of this massive bureaucracy. That's 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.480 what our founder is envisioned. And I think we owe 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.560 it to this country, and we owe it to our history, 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.760 and we owe it to posterity to restore the government 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.400 that would make George Washington and our founding fathers proud. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.080 One with three branches of government, not four, one without 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.120 some bureaucracy standing in the way. One where of congressmen 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.440 or senators don't do a good job of making the laws, 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.040 you can actually vote them out instead of he's unelected 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.880 bureaucrats who remain permanently highed. That's what this country demands 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.480 of us. And so yeah, are we up for the challenges. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.880 There are going to be some resistance, Yes, but we're 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.120 ready for it. The people are with us, histories with us, 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.200 our constitution is with us, and that's what we're going 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.920 to need. And we're confident that that's we're going to 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.320 be able to use to see this through. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.640 We've become very friendly. I've got to know you very well. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:31.400 I've come to admire you. You're extraordinarily intelligent. And I 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.319 don't know Elon Musk on a personal level. I watch 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.160 what he does in fascination. I mean, the fact that 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.040 our government needs to rely on him to rescue to 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.280 these astronauts that are lost in space is insane to me. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.520 Space X, what he's been able to accomplish there is 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.560 pretty amazing, Tesla is pretty amazing. It seems that he's 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.720 an engineering genius. What's your relationship like with him? Can 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.800 you give us any insight into the type of person 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:58.200 that he is? 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.040 Sure, you know, we've become good friends over the last 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:02.840 year and a half. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.000 He's one I've. 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.800 Admired from afar, but I've really gotten to know him 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.480 over the last year and a half during my own 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.760 presidential campaign and afterwards. He is somebody who and I 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.640 don't say this lightly, Sean, he is somebody who is 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.480 really on a different plane. And I've met some of 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:18.880 the smartest people in the world. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.079 Oh, people have said that about me, They said that 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.400 I'm lost in space myself. But go ahead, I'm joking. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.880 Well, you know in your own way also, Sean, right, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.720 you're you're you're a genius in being able to communicate 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.240 ideas that people need to hear. I think elon Is 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.800 is a genius of an engineering variety who is able 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.360 to think outside of the constraints that normal people just 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.880 accept as the status quo. He has a unique vision 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.120 of being able to step outside the status quo and 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.960 ask what is possible if you start with a blank slate. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.319 And so, you know, there aren't that many people as 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.720 entrepreneurs who I sort of look up to and believe 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.200 that I can, you know, really learn meaningful things from. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.640 Elon Is on that list, is at the top of 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.280 that list by far, And I think working with has 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.320 already been a pleasure. I think he's somebody who cares 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.719 about substance over politics or substance over process. I love 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.640 that about him. I've actually already learned a tremendous amount 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.679 from him, even in the short time we've known each 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.040 other and have given the shorter time that we've gotten 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.760 to work together. But I think that we, you know, 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.920 we have a similar vision, we have a similar orientation. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.160 We're entrepreneurs in our heart. We like to create things. 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.680 We both dislike politics, but we've chosen to be in 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.520 the sport because our country requires it and We both 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.960 have kids who we care about growing up in a 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.000 country where they can actually live the American dream that 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.480 Elon and I have, and take his story. He came 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.440 to this country as an immigrant with nothing and built 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.800 himself up to be the most successful capitalist, literally in 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.480 world history. And for me, that's really resonant. My parents 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.480 came to this country with no money forty years ago. 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.200 I've gone on and found multi billion dollar companies and 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.079 you know it, became the youngest person ever to run 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.640 for US President as a Republican, And so that's what's 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.319 possible in this country. That's a Maria, that's the America 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.280 we know in love, and we share a passion for 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.280 reviving it. And you know, I think we're going to 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.280 make for I think a great team, and we're already 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.000 enjoying working together. But the hard work is still ahead 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.640 of us, and we're ready for the challenge. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.680 There's going to be a lot of change under President Trump, 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.520 but I think what you and Elan are doing are 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.920 the most exciting to me because as a conservative, all 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.800 these years I've I've preached about limited government, greater freedom, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.520 ending waste for aud and abuse, and as I said earlier, 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.040 this is the first time in my life. I think 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.200 it will be accomplished. VIK will be with you every 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.880 step of the way, offering any support we can. My 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.440 best to you, my best to Elon, and you know, 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.080 getting America back to its true purpose, its constitutional order. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:47.480 We appreciate you being with. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.600 Us, sir, Thank you, my Matt.

Now he's worked on 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.120 everything from burglaries and home invasions and murders. He only 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.080 trusts simply Safe.

Mike, how are you glad 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.880 you called? Thanks for being with. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.400 Us, Thanks for having me. Sean, I appreciate everything you do. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.720 An r to be honest with you, I would like 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:03.520 you to consider challenging yours pasture and these women who 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:08.320 are refusing to get intimate with their partners or shave 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.840 their heads. I think I think we should all be 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:15.200 encouraging them to do so, and by doing so effectively 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.880 remove people like this who can infect their children from 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.600 the gene pool. I thank you three time. 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.240 So you want to get you You want these people 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.040 removed from the gene pool. You want me to you 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.480 want them assist it. You don't want them to procreate? 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:29.320 Is that what you're saying. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.520 That's exactly right, That's exactly right. 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.439 I think I think it's up to them do I 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.280 think this is a temporary reaction of most of them. 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:43.760 I don't know their way of somehow rebelling or wanting 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.560 to be heard. You know, I don't know when we 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.440 went from the land of the Free and the home 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.360 of the brave to the land of the snowflake because 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.359 it's so snowflakeish to me, and so woke to me, 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.399 and so stupid to me, and on every front. But 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.800 in part I don't blame part of them for it. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.640 Let me tell you why they've been indoctrinated into lies. 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.679 They have been told that we Conservatives are garbage. They 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.320 have been told we're irredeemable deplorables. They've been told where bitter, 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:16.040 angry Americans that cling to God, guns are Bibles and religion. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.320 They have been told falsehoods. Seniors in this country were 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.640 told by Kamala herself that Donald Trump will take away 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.199 their Social Security, their medicare. They have been told that 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.760 women that would be a national abortion ban if Donald 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.040 Trump is elected president again. They were told that he 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.639 would limit access to birth control. They were told that 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.560 IVF treatment would go out the window, all of which 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.400 is completely false. That he would support Project twenty twenty five, 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.160 again completely false. He has no idea what Project twenty 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.400 twenty five is. He had no part of Project twenty 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.320 twenty five. I have no idea what's in Project twenty 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.240 twenty five. And you know, with all the hoopla about it, 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:58.679 I don't even want to know. So in a sense, 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.200 you know, for give them, for they know not what 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.439 they do because they've been lied to. And when a 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.800 president vice president of this country lies to you on 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.560 that level and tells you that if you elect this guy, X, Y, 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.200 and Z is gonna happen when it's not true, it does. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.280 It does rile people up, just like they said he 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.360 was Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini. Anyway, Mike, you I hear 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:26.439 what you're saying. But if you know, people don't want 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.439 to have sex, if they want to shave their heads, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.600 if they want to, you know, hoard up on abortion pills, 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.640 have at it, if they want to divorce their husbands, 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.679 it's sad. I wouldn't recommend it over politics, but I 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.119 guess the marriage is not that strong to begin with. 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.400 All right, let's go to Tom and New York. Tom, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.040 how are you glad you called hi? 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:48.359 Sean? 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:48.480 So? 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.640 I want to make a couple of quick points. First 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.639 of all, I own two Henry's thirty eight and a 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.040 forty five seventy rifle. Great great firearm, great manufacturer. That's 0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:58.520 the first art. 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.840 By the way, aren't they the best? I mean, it's 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.640 HENRYUSA dot com. They're an advertiser on the show, and 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:10.760 they have the highest quality old school craftsmanship and combined 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.040 with modern technology. And I'm telling you it's such a 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.920 great company. And Anthony, the owner is such a great guy. 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:17.400
