Speaker 2: As General Motors the new carking, I don't want to
Speaker 2: get this hot take, but client for the time being. Man,
Speaker 2: I would have shaved my hair hair off last year
Speaker 2: if like we would have made it. Bet the GM
Speaker 2: would be up hided in Tessa right now. And you
Speaker 2: got in that office and doing the ike turner and
Speaker 2: here we are, like kudos to GM. Like I mean,
Speaker 2: I still don't love him as a stock. The all
Speaker 2: time high was back in ninety nine, which is crazy,
Speaker 2: but they have rebounded well from twenty seven. They're at
Speaker 2: forty seven right now, which is amazing for them. I
Speaker 2: never would have saw the day coming. This is kind
Speaker 2: of like Tank Davis's opponent when he got caught with
Speaker 2: their little left houck at the end. I would have
Speaker 2: never seen him coming. But I think it goes to
Speaker 2: show kudos and rest in pieces you that when you're
Speaker 2: focused and if your enemy or opponent takes their eye
Speaker 2: off the prize, you can take pole position and end
Speaker 2: up winning. I think at a time when everyone was
Speaker 2: super excited about EV, we don't hear too much about them.
Speaker 2: The profit margin is isn't good. It's five point eight percent.
Speaker 2: Gross margin is eleven percent, but market cap is pretty good.
Speaker 2: Fifty four billion. Enterprise value is forty two. Analys have
Speaker 2: it going to forty nine. Institutional ownership is eighty two percent.
Speaker 2: Stable business, don't have to worry about the CEO being
Speaker 2: all in the videos or doing drugs or battling with
Speaker 2: Apple or advocating for dose coins. So it's been like
Speaker 2: a flight to safety for their A quarter over quarter
Speaker 2: revenue is up seven percent. Not a blockbuster business, but
Speaker 2: right now in the EV space, they're doing a lot
Speaker 2: better than Tesla is. For sure here in America.
Speaker 1: Would Tesla be the old king. If this is the
Speaker 1: new king, Yeah, I'm interested to see. This is a
Speaker 1: real test. The boy got the fifty nine billion. What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do now other things?
Speaker 2: Are you really going to vote more time and energy there?
Speaker 2: Or are you going to go to SpaceX starlink which
Speaker 2: starlink is a mind serve company.
Speaker 1: I don't know their thoughts.
Speaker 3: I read on this.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, well why because when it and I
Speaker 1: know we're switching tovis a little bit, but I mean
Speaker 1: it's all in the automotive space. The initial thought was
Speaker 1: no way of getting this, they didn't believe in it,
Speaker 1: and then within a week it was, oh, no, this
Speaker 1: is going to happen, and we fully support him, and
Speaker 1: now we want him to focus and keep his focus
Speaker 1: on the biggest source of his wealth quote not my quote.
Speaker 3: Shareholders have always this isn't the first time they've done this,
Speaker 3: So I don't know if they if people thought that
Speaker 3: the shareholders wasn't going to vote because they historically they've
Speaker 3: done this before, so.
Speaker 2: The stock was up in their favor at the time too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm just saying they've never not voted against
Speaker 3: They've never voted against Elon never so it's right in
Speaker 3: precedent of what has happened historically, and he won by
Speaker 3: a majority I think of like eighty percent something like that.
Speaker 3: So it wasn't it wasn't a close situation that the
Speaker 3: board voted right. No, the shareholders the board, the board
Speaker 3: voted to get the board doesn't want him to get it.
Speaker 3: That's why I had to go to the shareholders. Once
Speaker 3: he went to the shareholders that they voted for him
Speaker 3: to actually get.
Speaker 1: Well, the issue was when he had the last I
Speaker 1: think uh conference. I think it was at the Texas site.
Speaker 1: People were expressing their disappointment with the company, and so
Speaker 1: again you had a bunch of people speaking out and
Speaker 1: they wouldn't let him speak, and it became a thing.
Speaker 1: So it kind of felt like the sentiment was turning
Speaker 1: negative around him, but obviously not obviously not fifty.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of hard to tell somebody now
Speaker 2: when they got satellites and know where you live in
Speaker 2: rockets too. You want your job, hey man, Listen, if
Speaker 2: Tony starts telling me man, I need to vote for
Speaker 2: the fifty nine, you kind of got to give it
Speaker 2: to him. So the true test is gonna come down
Speaker 2: after he got the fifty nine to zero and then
Speaker 2: I dropped the lawsuit with open AI.
Speaker 1: Yeah he did, he did drop the lawsuit, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: he said. His quote was that he's a pathological he's
Speaker 1: a pathological optimist and he only can.
Speaker 2: Hold fifty nine billion.
Speaker 3: Me too, right, he said.
Speaker 1: I might mess it up along the way, but I
Speaker 1: always get the job done in the end.
Speaker 2: I would pay open AI for paying the suffering if
Speaker 2: I got my fifty nine billion in testa, Sam, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Let's end up every relationship right now. Go work on
Speaker 2: starlink and be done. Go take over after in Australia
Speaker 2: and Mars cool the dark side of the moon. Hey,
Speaker 2: all right, y'all, have the a little car play that
Speaker 2: global internet move that he's gonna make with starlink.
Speaker 1: Way better.
Speaker 4: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 4: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 4: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 4: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 4: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
Speaker 4: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
Speaker 4: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
Speaker 4: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
Speaker 4: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
Speaker 4: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
Speaker 4: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
Speaker 4: Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
Speaker 4: border and families will be protected. Sponsored by the United
