A year ago, if someone had told 37 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,280 you you'd be at CPAC and working with the president to absolutely 38 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,120 shred the government, the swamp, whatever you want to call it, 39 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880 would you ever believe that? No. 40 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,800 No. Me neither, but it's cool. 41 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,080 This is awesome and and I just want to say, you know, thanks 42 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:58,520 for your support. I mean, guys are, you know, so I 43 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,160 mean, we're, you know, we're trying to get, get good things 44 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,680 done, but also like, you know, have a good time doing it and, 45 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,280 you know, and have like a sense of humor, you know, So like, I 46 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,600 mean, the, the, the sort of the left wanted to make comedy 47 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,760 illegal. You know, you can't make fun of 48 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,880 anything. So there's like, comedy sucks. 49 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,040 It's like nothing's funny. You can't make fun of anything. 50 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,160 It's like legalize comedy. Yeah, legalize. 51 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,840 Comedy and we we've, we've shifted the entire culture in 52 00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,040 just the last few months, the whole culture of this country 53 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,280 has shifted dramatically just because of that election. 54 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,760 Yeah, exactly. You know, freedom of speech, 55 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,240 having, you know, having fun again, it seems like we should 56 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,480 have, we should have a good time, you know? 57 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,040 It, I mean, it's a great time. Everybody in this place is so 58 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,040 excited, and I haven't. I mean, when you talk to 59 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,200 conservatives, everybody's happy. 60 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,040 Yeah. And everybody feels this great 61 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,200 sense of relief because we were going to hell for about four 62 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,320 years. It really felt bad, especially 63 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,120 toward the end. It felt really bad. 64 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:02,360 Yeah, I, I mean, I, I thought we, I, I thought we were sort of 65 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,640 heading for a point in no return really, you know, until that's 66 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760 why I was so essential that President Trump win the election 67 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,680 and and that there, there be a Republican majority in the House 68 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,520 and Senate, which thanks to you with that, that has been 69 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,760 accomplished. Yeah, Yeah. 70 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,160 I want to ask you one of the biggest questions I have for you 71 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960 is and you've been, you know, politically, you weren't really 72 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,400 on one side or the other for a long time. 73 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,800 You're a businessman. A lot of people, they stay away 74 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,840 from it. Now you're on a side and you've 75 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:31,280 chosen to side. You're sitting here in a MAGA 76 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:34,520 hat. What's how did that happen? 77 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,520 What was the moments like you? Know dark Gothic Magas. 78 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,920 That's a good one. What? 79 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,360 Was there a specific moment? Was there a moment that it all 80 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,920 changed? Yeah, when I realized it was a 81 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:55,560 fool. But no, I I was, I guess, Yeah. 82 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,840 I mean, I'd say like I was probably politically neutral for 83 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,800 for quite a while, you know, you know, leaning a little Democrat, 84 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,920 you know, how do you go from this? 85 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,640 Yeah, No, no. Well. 86 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,040 Did they go crazy? Yeah, they did. 87 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,560 They did go crazy. Yeah, they went crazy. 88 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,520 No, I mean that whole cancel culture and and you know, it's 89 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,640 trying to stop freedom of speech and infringe upon just in 90 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,960 general infringe upon people's personal freedoms. 91 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,720 You know, they just want state control, state control what you 92 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:38,480 say they want to, you know, take away your your guns and the 93 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,360 reason I want to take away your guns, so like there's nothing 94 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,200 you do to oppose them. So it's sort of like, you know, 95 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,000 I just, I just like, we just need to restore the fundamental 96 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,560 elements of what made America great, which is freedom and 97 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,200 opportunity. We're seeing a lot of these 98 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,640 freedoms disappearing in the West. 99 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,800 It's, it's not just about America. 100 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880 We're watching, we're all watching Europe and knowing that 101 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,480 they're about 5000 years ahead of us, right? 102 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,840 Because they got an early start and we're watching how they're 103 00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:06,880 devolving. And you're trying to save it 104 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,960 from happening here. I mean, in Europe they put 105 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,560 people in prison for memes, you know? 106 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,560 I'm like, that's insane. And they're collapsing. 107 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,720 I mean, there's a society is it's a collapsing society. 108 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,160 It feels that way. It feels like. 109 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,680 France was nicer 50 years ago than it is today. 110 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,520 Yeah, I don't think you can question that. 111 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,920 Yeah, so. But yeah, I mean really. 112 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,600 Thanks. I love you too. 113 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:43,360 I mean. I really, I really just wanted 114 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,120 to do useful things like, you know, basically build products, 115 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,480 you know, provide products and services that that are that are 116 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,320 good and that that I wasn't really like that interested in 117 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,480 being political. It just like there was at a 118 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,040 certain point no choice. So. 119 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,200 Yeah. Can I, can I ask you what it on 120 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,720 the same side of that coin? What's it like from going 121 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,480 neutral to being vilified, largely vilified by the media? 122 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,000 I think you're what? No. 123 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,160 Really. I mean, turn on some of these 124 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,320 channels, brother. I mean, they don't. 125 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,320 They're angry. Does it? 126 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,760 Bother you at all this little good to you, I. 127 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,360 Mean when they're chanting for my death, I suppose that's a 128 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,320 little, you know, not good. And then, like, the song's not 129 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,440 even that good. And it's like, like you call 130 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,159 that a death chant? That's nothing, please. 131 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,120 They've been singing a lot. Even good music. 132 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,679 There's a lot of music lately. It's not good music either. 133 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,480 Yeah, I would say that they're, you know, watching what you're 134 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,400 doing with Doge. Is is just that people love it. 135 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,640 I mean, I I've always looked at the government and I've, I've 136 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,720 always looked at the government. I've seen this big machine that 137 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,000 and you just know that they waste because they don't care. 138 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,240 Nobody could just more money coming. 139 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,200 They don't care. You're cutting all this out. 140 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,680 Everybody in this country knows that the government is full of 141 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,800 waste, fraud and abuse and you're doing the work and the 142 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,800 Americans love it. Watching their reaction 143 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,000 politically to this, I can't believe how bad they are at 144 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,160 responding to this. I don't know how you're going to 145 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,040 sit there and and scream and complain because they're cutting 146 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,480 waste out of the government and try to win another election. 147 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,640 How do you how do you try to win on that? 148 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,360 Well, I'm at this point, I'm like, I'm not sure how much of 149 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,320 the left is even real, you know? How much was propped up by our 150 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,920 money, you know? Yeah, yeah. 151 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,040 Like literally, you know, you see like these these sort of 152 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,280 fake rallies where there's like hardly any people and the media 153 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,720 will like frame it and like, you know, get all six people, you 154 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,960 know, in the frame. But it's like nobody else is 155 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,920 there. Like just it's, it doesn't have 156 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,520 popular support. But but but there's but, but 157 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,320 then you, then you, you learn that like there's hundreds of 158 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,600 billions of dollars going to be so-called NGOs that, that, that 159 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,720 and it's your tax dollars that are funding things that are 160 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,880 fundamentally anti American. And, and they're propping up 161 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,680 their narrative. Yes, a lot of that government 162 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,840 money has been propping up a left that I don't think is as 163 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,120 strong as they made it seem. In fact, a massive amount of of 164 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,120 your tax dollars is going to legacy media companies directly 165 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,160 from the from from the. Government. 166 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,360 The government wants to take over media. 167 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,520 Yeah, it's terrible. Yeah. 168 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,800 That's why we have X. Yeah, and that's. 169 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,600 That's why you spent $44 billion. 170 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,040 I mean, there's a lot of money. I mean. 171 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,760 More than it was probably worth, but it had a There was a 172 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,080 message. Freedom is priceless. 173 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:37,800 Priceless. Yeah, probably one of the most 174 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,400 important investments this country's ever seen. 175 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,200 If you got to protect the 1st Amendment, it's not much more 176 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,000 important than that. Yeah, I got a lot of criticism 177 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,600 and people said, well, that proves he is a huge idiot from 178 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,400 a, you know, like, look, you know, you voted for whatever, 179 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,440 $44 billion and now it's worth like $0.08 and. 180 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120 It's not worth $0.08. But but, you know, there's that. 181 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,040 But but the yeah, it was it was essentially to, you know, buy 182 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:14,640 freedom of expression and. Yeah, that's gone. 183 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,440 It's all. Over. 184 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880 Yeah, it's all over. Yeah, into tyrannies really 185 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,160 quick after that. Yeah, I mean, like, you know, 186 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,480 it's all the all the sort of federal money going to media 187 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:32,120 companies is what what helps explain why the legacy media all 188 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,080 says the same thing at the same time. 189 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,280 Yeah. Like isn't it like it's like 190 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,840 weird, Like you can put them up where it's like, you know, like 191 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,840 when they. They're mouthpieces for for the 192 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,280 state. For the state, yes. 193 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,800 And that's that's what we've come to know. 194 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,720 Yeah, scary. And and I like that that mean 195 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920 when they whether because they're always saying like 196 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,520 threat to our democracies, that threat to. 197 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,760 But if you just replaced democracy with bureaucracy, 198 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,360 yeah, it makes a lot of sense. Makes perfect sense. 199 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,920 Yeah, big threat to the bureaucracy. 200 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,960 That's exactly right. Let's talk about, let's talk 201 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,680 about these DOGE dividend checks that everybody's talking about 202 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,400 this week. And I know you tweeted out that 203 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,080 you're going to, does everybody want like a $5000 check in the 204 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,080 mail? It sounds kind of good, right? 205 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,560 And and the best part about it would be knowing where it came 206 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,760 from that that's 5 grand that you sent them last year. 207 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,440 Totally. It's it's, it's, it's money 208 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,800 that's taken away from from things that are destructive to 209 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,000 the country that and from organizations that hate you to 210 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,600 you. That's awesome. 211 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,560 Is it does it seem like, I mean, have you talked? 212 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,360 I mean, that's like glorious, but this is, that's like the 213 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,480 spoils of battle, you know? I like that. 214 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:36,840 Is there? Is there traction on that? 215 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,040 Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, yeah, I took the 216 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,520 president, he's supportive of that. 217 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,960 And so it sounds like, you know, that's something we're we're 218 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,680 going to do. Yep. 219 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,920 So as as we're finding savings, that's going to translate 220 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,960 directly to reductions in tax. So yeah. 221 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,680 I mean, I think they fired 6000 people at the IRS today. 222 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,520 And I think what Nick said last night that he, they're talking 223 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:10,400 about shutting down the IRS. And I think it's fair. 224 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,760 I think people should realize this is, I mean, the amount of 225 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,160 money that we said we send Washington like 5 or 6 trillion 226 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,320 a year, that is such an ungodly amount of money. 227 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,440 I mean, what are they? They say like a trillion seconds 228 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,160 is like 30 years or something like that. 229 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,520 I mean, that's how much we send them. 230 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,920 And they seem to never have enough. 231 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,840 There's must be a lot you can cut. 232 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,680 No, absolutely. People ask me what's the most 233 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:33,280 surprising thing that you've encountered when you go to DC? 234 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,640 You know, we're in DC and I said, well, the most surprising 235 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,880 thing is the scale of the expenditures and actually how 236 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,760 easy it is to with a just just what when you add caring and 237 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,880 competence where it was absent before, you can actually save 238 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,560 billions of dollars sometimes in this in an hour like it's it's 239 00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:58,520 wild. And then they scoff at it and 240 00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,920 say, oh, a few billion here, there. 241 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,800 I mean, the way they're talking about it, they, they, you can 242 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,880 see they don't care. It's, it's so it's such little 243 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,600 money compared to how much they're used to wasting. 244 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:09,880 That's what's really scary. Yeah, no, I mean, it's exactly, 245 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,720 but obviously it's, it's, it just shows that they they really 246 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,440 lack empathy for the average taxpayer who's working hard, 247 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,240 paying, paying taxes. And then and then they say, oh, 248 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,480 $1,000,000 doesn't matter. I'm like, I think it matters a 249 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,840 lot people, you know, So what are you talking about? 250 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,040 I'd like to have it. Let me ask you a question. 251 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,160 I, you know, I know the president fairly well. 252 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,840 Watched him survive 2 assassination attempts. 253 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,000 The second. Had the first one not happened, 254 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,040 the second one would have gotten him. 255 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,640 You know, it was very because without those extra guys, they 256 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,760 would have never seen that gun poking through the fence at the 257 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,800 golf course. I saw the crew that you the. 258 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,680 Crew that you mind blowing that this has happened. 259 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,920 I mean it just and and what by the way, why do we still know 260 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,240 nothing about that guy in Butler? 261 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,200 What's going on? But he's. 262 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,840 He's. Cash is going to get to the 263 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,320 bottom of it, yeah. There you go. 264 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:05,640 By the way, yeah. Confirm, confirm just a couple 265 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,520 hours ago, but I I saw that the security detail that you had 266 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,720 come in is, is enormous. That enormous. 267 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,800 Maybe it should be bigger. I think you could probably 268 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,840 afford it, but I mean, how concerned are you about your 269 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,680 safety dealing? I mean, it's you are you are a 270 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,680 wanted man. Are you? 271 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Are you enormous? So I look, I'm open to ideas for 272 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,320 improving security. I have to tell you, like, I, I 273 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,880 don't actually have a death wish. 274 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,720 I think I, but, but you know, it's not that easy. 275 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,320 So yeah, I mean, yeah, but, but I have like I've had even like 276 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,040 people like President Buchelli from El Salvador who, who 277 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,120 managed to put in prison like like 100,000 like murderous 278 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,080 thugs. And and he was like, he called 279 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,000 me. He's like, I'm worried about 280 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,920 your security. I'm like, you're worried about 281 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,640 my security. I'm like, what? 282 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,400 OK, you know. I mean, yeah, talk about guts to 283 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,280 do that down there. I mean, yeah, totally. 284 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,640 And and survive. I'm like, I was like, how did 285 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,600 you put all those thugs in prison without dying? 286 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,000 Because it seems like that would have been not easy, you know? 287 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,040 Well, there's a the, the, the president has one of his top 288 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,280 attorneys is now investigating, I guess Chuck Schumer for 289 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,480 threats against SCOTUS congressman on the Democrat side 290 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,320 who's saying, you know, basically saying you're going to 291 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,080 bring a war to you, like a fight to you. 292 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,640 I mean the rhetoric. You guys are screwing with 293 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,440 things that are not supposed to be messed with. 294 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,280 And we're fighting the Matrix. A lot of people that really 295 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,400 don't want that to happen. Yeah, we're fighting the Matrix 296 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,920 big time here. Yeah, but it has got to be done. 297 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160 Yeah, and are. Are you? 298 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,840 It certainly does.

But are there indications that 364 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,360 those that there were checks going to those people or any of 365 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,680 those people? Well, yes. 366 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,520 I guess the question right this, I mean, I get the Social 367 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,920 Security Administration is dumb, but are they paying these 368 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:00,840 people? Are they that dumb? 369 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,040 I don't know. A bunch of money is going out 370 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,920 for the Social Security Administration and in fact, from 371 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,520 all entitlements programs 70. 2 billion in waste in like 7 372 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,800 years. That's ten billion a year. 373 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,320 Well, I I think the the. Fraudulent payments. 374 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,600 The the rough or estimate from general Government 375 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,040 Accountability offices on as over $500 billion a 40 year. 376 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,520 If I. 500 billion. And how long at the time? 377 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,160 Of per year. Per year on on Social Security. 378 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,720 No, no on on all. On all government. 379 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,800 On all entitlements. All entitlements. 380 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,440 All entitlements, yeah. Yeah, it sort of actually makes 381 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,720 sense when you look at the thing from a top level and say like, 382 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,480 OK, the $7 trillion was spending by the government. 383 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,520 What percentage do you think is fraudulent? 384 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,840 OK, exactly. Like a conservative estimate of 385 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,040 the 7 trillion would be 10%. Conservative, probably a little 386 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,560 higher than that, you know, exactly. 387 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,920 Feels like 1/4 out every dollar. Right. 388 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,080 But if if the fraud's only 10% of 7 trillion, you've got $700 389 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,760 billion of fraud. Yeah. 390 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,640 And by the way, it's like really easy to take advantage of the 391 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,760 federal government. It's very easy. 392 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,960 Very easy look at COVID. Yes. 393 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,440 Everybody got rich during COVID. I mean, look at all these 394 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,680 scares. I mean, it's unbelievable. 395 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,600 We. We, it looks like for, in terms 396 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,960 of the COVID payments, there was something like $200 billion of, 397 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,960 of COVID payment fraud taken by fraudsters out of the country. 398 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,960 That's like, I think, listen, if there's going to be fraud, it 399 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,400 should at least be domestic. So you know, but they managed to 400 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,320 get $200 billion out of the country. 401 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,640 I'm like, what? Didn't we notice that? 402 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560 Let me ask you, let's do immigration here for a second. 403 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,240 You know, there's this move now that the Trump's latest thing is 404 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,200 that he cut, he's going to cut funding any kind of money that 405 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,720 ends up in the hands of illegal immigrants. 406 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,840 So if you're funding these sanctuary cities and states, 407 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,160 that's how right, right. They're paying for these hotels. 408 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:04,520 That's all federal money. If you got a hotel in your city 409 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,280 in New York, you got all these hotels full of migrants. 410 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,480 That's not state money. That's the feds are covering 411 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,680 that. He's going to cut all that. 412 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,400 It's really hard to deport 15,000,000 people. 413 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,360 And it seems like the move now is let's see if we, especially 414 00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:18,000 at the rate that we're going, it seems like the move now is let's 415 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,920 make it so that they leave on their own. 416 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,440 If there's no longer a dole system for them, if they can't 417 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800 get their hands on hotel rooms and money, they're going to go 418 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,840 back, especially if there's no work. 419 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,360 Well, I think it's really important for people to 420 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:35,040 understand that the the Biden administration sent any possible 421 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280 money that they could. They could if if there was money 422 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:43,520 they could send to facilitate and amplify illegal immigration, 423 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,640 they sent it OK. They took money from FEMA meant 424 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,480 for helping Americans in distress and sent that money to 425 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,120 luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in New York. 426 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:02,040 That is a an outrage. They actually did that. 427 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,760 And and not only that, even after president signed an 428 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,320 executive order saying it has to stop the FEMA the the the sort 429 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,600 of whatever deep state bureaucrats still still pressed 430 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,840 send on $80 million last week to go to the Roosevelt Hotel in New 431 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,680 York and other places last week and now and now they're mad that 432 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,360 they've got stopped and they're like trying to sue to have it be 433 00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:29,760 restored. It's like the gumption you. 434 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,600 Think you think they're creating a new voter classes? 435 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,200 Would you think that was the goal when they open up the 436 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,400 orders for four years, create a new voter class, get them 437 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,520 citizenship, get them in. Yeah, 3 cards vote. 438 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,600 A lot of these things like you don't actually have to assume 439 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,680 some grand conspiracy. You just need to look at basic 440 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,720 incentives, benefits. So if the incentives, the 441 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,800 fundamentally if the probability that an illegal is going to vote 442 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,360 Democrat at some point, whether it's a, you know, cheating, but 443 00:23:57,360 --> 00:23:58,720 eventually that can become citizens. 444 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,040 But if the probability is like 8090%, just look at California 445 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:07,880 which is super majority Dem and then the incentive is to 446 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240 maximize the number of illegals in the country. 447 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,560 That is why the Biden administration was pushing to 448 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,600 get in this as many illegals as possible and spend every dollar 449 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,200 possible to get as many because every one of them is a customer, 450 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,480 everyone is a voter. So the whole thing is a giant 451 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:29,200 voter importation scam. Pretty obvious. 452 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,240 Very obvious. And then they moreover then 453 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,480 they, they, they actually created the CVP 1 border app 454 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,680 thing where they were, which is like where they could, they 455 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,520 would literally fly people in. It's not like like at the point 456 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,680 at which you know, people being flown in at, at your expense. 457 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,280 Sending planes. Building a wall up doesn't. 458 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,120 Fly them over the border. Yeah, they're literally flying 459 00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,000 them in. No other, no other country in 460 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,160 the world would do something like this. 461 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,840 Nobody is this stupid. Yeah. 462 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,160 And, and then we found that it was like $100 million contract 463 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,280 given to some guy in London actually oddly enough for the 464 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,000 CVP One app. So, so then so they're flying 465 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,480 illegals into the swing states. Yeah. 466 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,680 And, and if you've got like a margin of victory of maybe 467 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,760 20,000 people and you fly 200,000 illegals into that 468 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,560 state, it's not going to be a swing state for long. 469 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,560 Change the numbers eventually, yeah, maybe in four or eight 470 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,320 years you're exactly it's. Just a matter it's a. 471 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,960 Long game it's. Just a matter of time. 472 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,440 Yeah. So it might take like a year for 473 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,360 a sound secret or something to get on the to get get a green 474 00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:37,960 card and then five years for the citizenship. 475 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,400 It's it's it's an investment that is guaranteed to pay off. 476 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,720 Yeah. Just a question of when. 477 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,600 They all remember who brought them in and who left them here. 478 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,160 Exactly, exactly. I want to go back. 479 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,200 I want to talk. About big deal. 480 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,480 Like, I think a lot of people like don't quite appreciate that 481 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,360 this was an actual real scam at scale to tilt the scales of 482 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:56,600 democracy in America. It's. 483 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,560 Treason. Treason. 484 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,200 Yeah, one more Biden question. I I remember when, you know, 485 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,920 when when they would do the electric car stuff, they would 486 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,840 always try to box you out even though you have the only 487 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,200 electric car anybody wants. Yeah, you you said, I think this 488 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,200 week that you think that Biden left these astronauts up in 489 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,760 space because he didn't want to give you an opportunity to save 490 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,480 them, make NASA look bad, make the private sector look better, 491 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,840 make you look good. You believe that? 492 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,200 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So of course. 493 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520 I kind of agree. I mean, I why would he want to 494 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,760 let you help them come down when you're supporting? 495 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:35,800 The president, the Biden administration was was attacking 496 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,760 me next level. I mean the Department of of 497 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,520 Justice or injustice under the Biden administration was I mean, 498 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,280 there was suing SpaceX. There's they're suing SpaceX for 499 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:52,000 not hiring asylum seekers and we're like, but it's actually 500 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,160 illegal for us to hire up silent seekers because we're rocket 501 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,720 technology is covered under ITAR rules, which is that means it's 502 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,000 an advanced weapons technology. And so we can only hire 503 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,480 permanent residents or green or or orchestra citizens like so. 504 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,320 So we're damned if we do it, damned if we don't. 505 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:15,080 We said like, so how can they sue us for not hiring asylum 506 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,440 seekers when it's actually illegal for us to do so? 507 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,480 But nonetheless, there was a big Department of Justice or 508 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,560 Injustice case about this against SpaceX. 509 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,520 So obviously it was an antagonistic situation. 510 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,480 And those astronauts were supposed to be up there for 8 511 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,160 days, and now they're up for eight months. 512 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,920 Does that make any sense? And, and, and we, we obviously 513 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,120 could have brought them back sooner, but they didn't want it 514 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,800 to, didn't want anyone who supported President Trump to 515 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,560 look good basically. Yeah, that's the, that's the, 516 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,480 that's the issue. The, a lot of them are saying 517 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,080 right now that the reason that you want to get into Social 518 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,280 Security, that you want to get into all of these different, 519 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,200 into treasury and things like that, is that you're looking for 520 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,280 personal information and you're trying to make more money. 521 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,920 Yeah, I I've never met anybody as rich as you that cared less 522 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,400 about money in my life. Every time I hear a story about 523 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,800 you, you're sleeping on a couch of some other guy in a city that 524 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,680 you could buy the entire thing. Yeah, I'm not I. 525 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,160 Don't think you care about money, do you? 526 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:19,080 No, actually, I mean listen like if I if I steal some Social 527 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,880 Security I can finally buy nice things. 528 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,800 And, and, and on that same question, they're also talking 529 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,960 about you guys are going to end Social Security, you're going to 530 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,840 end Medicare, you're going to end these things. 531 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,600 I, I don't imagine that conversation has been had with 532 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,080 the president and that's, that's the plan. 533 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,560 No, in fact, the actions that we're taking with the support of 534 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,280 the president and the support of the agencies is what will save 535 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,440 Medicare, what will save Social Security. 536 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:58,840 And and it's it's because if the country goes insolvent, if, if, 537 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,880 if all the if all the money is just spent on paying interest on 538 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,720 debt, there's no money left for anything. 539 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,880 Yeah. So that's that's the reason I'm 540 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,120 doing this is because I was looking at the big picture here. 541 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,480 And it's like, man, our debt's getting out of control. 542 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,160 The the interest payments, the interest on the national debt 543 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,320 now exceeds the entire Defense Department budget. 544 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,240 A. Trillion a year in interest just 545 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,120 to carry the money that we owe is a trillion a year. 546 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,560 That is unbelievable. And rising rapidly. 547 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,800 So. So like it's, I mean, the 548 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,280 country's not different from a person country overspends, 549 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,640 country goes bankrupt, same with the same as a person who 550 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,320 overspends goes bankrupt. So it's it's not like optional 551 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,440 to solve these things, it's essential. 552 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,840 So we're going to go bankrupt? Yes, we are. 553 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:49,160 Couple minutes left here, Russia there's a huge push from. 554 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,320 The Oh yeah, yeah. People like, sort of like to end 555 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,160 this war, say like, you know, I, I'm, I'm a, I'm a bored asset of 556 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,040 Putin. I'm like he can't afford me. 557 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,160 Yeah, I think, I think you're worth more than Russia. 558 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:09,560 Think about it. So what we're you're trying to 559 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,640 end, you're trying to end a war. It's all any war always means. 560 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,880 You have to compromise. You have to negotiate with an 561 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,800 enemy or an adversary. That's just what it is. 562 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,000 And right now, they are lambasting the president for 563 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,640 trying a different method to a war that they haven't been able 564 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,120 to end for 3 1/2 years or three years. 565 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,760 They, you know, they're saying Trump's blaming Zielinski for 566 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,400 the invasion. How do you how do you process 567 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,680 all of the negativity toward him for trying to end this war? 568 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,800 Well, first of all, I think we should have empathy for the 569 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,320 people dying at the front lines. That's the most important thing. 570 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,640 And people have been dying. You know, it's like, how many 571 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,160 more years is this supposed to go on? 572 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,800 And imagine if that was your son, your father, you know, what 573 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,520 are what are they dying for? What exactly are they dying for? 574 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,040 That line that has the line of engagement has barely moved for 575 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,040 two years. There's a whole bunch of people 576 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,800 dead in trenches for what? And I'll tell you what, for what 577 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,960 it's like for the biggest graft machine that I've ever seen in 578 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,000 my life. That's for what it's, it's 579 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,720 unreal. Like the amount of money that is 580 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,120 that is being taken in Grafton bribery is, is disgusting. 581 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,080 And, and so what's actually happening is that those, those, 582 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,720 you know, people, those poor guys are getting sent into a 583 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,080 meat grinder for money. That's what's actually going on 584 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,680 and it needs to stop. And that's, I mean, that's it, 585 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,440 it seems. I mean, Trump is so pragmatic on 586 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,360 this. It, it just, he's just looking 587 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,000 at it and he's saying it's Ukraine. 588 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,440 It's not our country, it's not a NATO ally. 589 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,200 I just want to see people not dying. 590 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,880 I want to see on both sides just I mean, think about how many 591 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,680 young, so many young men have died in Ukraine that the army is 592 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,560 starting to age out. The military is aging out. 593 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,000 You got 40 and 50 year old guys fighting in a war because 594 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,320 there's nobody left that's not killed or maimed in their 20s. 595 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,880 That's the reality of the think about how many people that is. 596 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,360 If you're a humanitarian at all, you just got to end the war. 597 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,800 Like no matter what, just get it over with. 598 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,160 Yes, people, they need to stop dying and and and the gruff 599 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,920 machines got to stop, you know, so and I think people it they 600 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,440 don't a lot of people out there don't realize like the president 601 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,680 has a lot of empathy. He really cares, you know, he's 602 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,800 a good, he's a good man, so. I got one more for you. 603 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,200 I've been fascinated by you for a very long time. 604 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,880 Thanks. I've just, I just, I've never 605 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,640 seen anybody that can, you know, do so many things at the same 606 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,920 time. I mean, you've got the Rockets, 607 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,480 you got the cars. I've always wanted to ask you, 608 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,840 what is it like inside your mind like this? 609 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,440 Is it just 1000 miles an hour? I mean, are you. 610 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,240 Yeah. Is it just not. 611 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,400 I mean, this. Does it ever stop? 612 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,720 Do you sleep? How much do you sleep? 613 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:02,880 What's paint us a picture of inside of of the mind of a 614 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:03,880 genius? Like, how do you. 615 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,640 How? Do you do all? 616 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,320 This can you answer that question? 617 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:12,800 It's not an easy question, yeah. I mean, my mind is a storm, so 618 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,320 it's a storm. But but I mean, let me maybe 619 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,040 tell you something like you didn't ask the question, but but 620 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,360 I think it's worth kind of nonetheless, maybe just just 621 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:29,200 elaborating on something, which is, you know, I grew up in in 622 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,960 South Africa and but my morality was informed by America. 623 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,800 I read comic books, you know, play Dungeons and Dragons and, 624 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:50,320 and I watched American TV shows and it like, it seemed like 625 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,280 America cared about being the good guys, you know, about doing 626 00:33:54,280 --> 00:34:01,040 the right thing. And, and, and that's actually 627 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,680 pretty unusual, by the way. It's like, it's like in the 628 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:05,840 world. It's very unusual. 629 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,159 Yeah, it's not like actually. Those countries don't do that. 630 00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:09,159 No, they don't. No. 631 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,159 And so I was like, yeah, you know, you, you want to be this 632 00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,560 good, you want to be on the side of good, you want to care about 633 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:21,360 what's right. And, and yeah, so that's, 634 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,159 that's, yeah, what I believe in, you know, so. 635 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,159 I gave you, I gave you a tough one at the end. 636 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,520 Yeah. So yeah. 637 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,800 That's great. That's great, Elon Musk. 638 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,280 All right, Thank you.
