politics little problem this morning because x was down due to a cyber attack uh elon musk uh
00:00:46.820
posting there was and still is a massive cyber attack against x we get attacked every day he
00:00:53.100
wrote but this day was done with a lot more resources either a large coordinated group
00:00:58.120
and or a country is involved stand by in fact elon musk is blaming organized nationwide protests
00:01:06.260
against his electric card company tesla on the left-wing billionaire george soros as well as
00:01:12.720
billionaire democrat donor and linkedin co-founder reid hoffman you remember him he's the guy who
00:01:18.980
financed the lawsuit of e gene carol against president donald trump in a manhattan courtroom
00:01:27.280
according to elon musk who's under attack because his doge his effort to expose waste fraud and
00:01:39.100
corruption uh by the federal government uh squandering our tax dollars for all kinds of
00:01:45.740
political uh in socially and politically correct activities is uncovering not millions not billions
00:01:54.340
but trillions of dollars it is according to elon uh this is all connected to act blue now act blue
00:02:03.220
is a democrat oriented payment processing company uh elon says an investigation into five act blue
00:02:14.100
funded groups responsible for these tesla protests uh troublemakers the disruption project rise and
00:02:22.580
resist the indivisible project and democratic socialists of america uh all of them are include
00:02:29.840
funders such as george soros the aforementioned reid hoffman herbert sandler patricia bauman and leah
00:02:38.480
hunt hendrix uh as noted by elon musk act blue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and
00:02:46.160
illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations this just past week seven act blue
00:02:54.160
senior officials resigned including the associate general counsel uh if you know anything about this
00:03:01.600
elon says please post in replies this past saturday hundreds of radical leftists swarmed and shut down
00:03:10.480
the tesla dealership in manhattan leading to six arrests leftist vandals also shot at an oregon tesla
00:03:18.080
dealership located 10 miles south of portland on thursday damaging multiple cars and shattering
00:03:24.960
windows right here in my own neighborhood about half a mile down the road the tesla dealership was stormed
00:03:34.720
by protesters there was no violence but one of my neighbors who actually drives a tesla complained that
00:03:41.840
they blocked his ability to bring in his car for service another leftist terrorist was also arrested
00:03:49.120
after throwing a molotov cocktail at a tesla dealership in salem oregon and several tesla charging stations
00:03:56.080
that have been set on fire in massachusetts this organized campaign of terror is certainly george soros
00:04:03.440
's mo these are the same people who organized and paid for the black lives matter and antifa violence in
00:04:10.880
the summer of 2020 these are the same exact organizations identified with the ongoing
00:04:18.240
investigation into act blue the democrat mundling laundering platform we may soon get to the bottom
00:04:24.000
of all of this organized far left violence additionally as i have reported here in the stone zone new york
00:04:31.120
attorney general leticia james is one of the largest recipients of what i believe are laundered funds
00:04:39.040
through act blue i say that with a high degree of certainty because what they do is they allow credit
00:04:47.520
card donations but they turn off the function that matches the credit card to the address of the credit
00:04:56.560
card holder that allows them to actually funnel in some cases hundreds and sometimes even thousands of
00:05:04.720
individuals small and medium-sized contributions over time into their selected candidates the reason i
00:05:13.040
believe that much of this money is laundered is because an active canvassing effort to actually call on the
00:05:20.720
donors on their doorstep show them a spreadsheet of the donations they have allegedly made and ask them
00:05:28.240
whether they made these donations and whether they are familiar with them on at least a third of those
00:05:35.200
contacted who are willing to speak they say that they are unfamiliar with the donations that they've never
00:05:42.320
given a political donation and in fact their name and address is being used by somebody else some
00:05:48.880
third party to make multiple donations in their name now elon musk points out that he gets attacked
00:05:57.840
every day but he says this attack on which x actually went down for a better part of today uh marks the
00:06:06.320
largest and most coordinated attack on x so far the protests against doge the attacks on tesla stores and
00:06:14.640
the cyber attacks on x point to a larger coordinated effort to hurt elon musk some have argued of
00:06:21.600
course that musk has no authority to investigate waste fraud and corruption i find a hard time
00:06:30.000
understanding who's in favor of waste fraud and corruption the answer should be no one but there is no
00:06:36.880
question about the legal authority of donald trump uh to uh empower and authorize elon musk to begin
00:06:45.920
investigating federal spending and what he is finding is shocking uh the most shocking thing he's found
00:06:53.440
is that usaid which was originally founded under president john f kennedy with i think a noble motive
00:07:01.120
it was never actually passed by the congress it was signed into law in an executive order and the
00:07:08.320
original purpose was to aid countries in central and south america that were fighting encroaching
00:07:15.760
communism this has morphed into a slush fund in which first of all the usaid officials feel they are
00:07:23.360
answerable to no one uh but why would they for example pay 140 million dollars to the new york times
00:07:31.120
why would they pay 80 million dollars to politico why are they financing all of these politically oriented
00:07:39.120
non-profit organizations including those who oppose uh our sealed border oppose our current immigration
00:07:48.320
laws more on this to emerge we'll be following the story right here in the stone zone meanwhile
00:07:56.320
cm bankman freed uh is making moves to seek a pardon he's the disgraced crypto kingpin uh and surprisingly
00:08:06.240
he appeared this past week on tucker carlson's show although he had to do so from prison he was the
00:08:13.200
ceo ftx a cryptocurrency exchange that he used to steal eight billion dollars from his customers he was
00:08:21.440
sentenced and was certainly currently serving a sentence of 25 years imprisonment bankman freed gave
00:08:29.520
somewhere between 40 million and a hundred million dollars to democrats in the 2022 election cycle using many
00:08:37.280
sources to conceal the origins of his contributions that is in itself a crime uh but when he went on with
00:08:46.320
tucker carlson bankman freed made a not so concealed pitch for a pardon to president donald trump if
00:08:53.520
donald trump is going to pardon a major figure in the world of crypto it should not be bankman freed
00:08:58.320
the democrat mega donor who defrauded uh his customers uh there are far more uh i think uh worthy
00:09:10.080
candidates for a pardon let's take former nevada assemblywoman and las vegas city councilwoman michelle
00:09:18.000
fiore she was charged and is facing sentencing on a completely trumped up charge what's her crime she's
00:09:27.840
one of the earliest supporters of donald trump she was essentially prevented at trial from putting on
00:09:34.720
any defense uh she claims and would claim in an appeal that the evidence against michelle fiore
00:09:42.720
in las vegas was falsified we'll be following that story very quickly if you ask me uh elon musk's
00:09:51.760
department of government efficiency which has already uncovered enormous government waste fraud and
00:09:57.520
untraceable us treasury payments ranging from 50 billion to an astonishing 4.7 trillion just within
00:10:05.760
weeks of inception needs to start looking at our intelligence agencies just to compare the inspector
00:10:14.240
general community which was in place prior to doge which had the same charge that is to ferret out waste
00:10:23.440
fraud and uh political corruption uh had a 3.1 billion dollar budget uh and identified 93 billion in
00:10:32.400
potential savings 26.6 billion from investigations alone according to the council of inspector generals
00:10:40.880
on integrity and efficiency the disparity between what they found uh and what elon musk and doge has
00:10:48.800
found is well it's shocking if doge can reveal such massive discrepancies so quickly why haven't the
00:10:55.520
inspector generals flagged these issues sooner for the american taxpayers particularly given their
00:11:01.360
experience and their robust framework established under the inspector general act of 1978 the inspector
00:11:09.040
general system theoretically oversaw accountability across all federal agencies with 74 inspector generals
00:11:16.800
and 15 000 staffers including auditors investigators inspectors and more we'll be right back in the stones

00:13:04.000
and we're back in the stone zone where we bring you the inside skinny on american politics i am myself a
00:13:11.200
veteran of 13 national presidential campaigns although here in the stone zone i criticize both republicans
00:13:17.920
and democrats i spent 50 years in the corroded rectum of the two-party system i've seen it all and i
00:13:24.400
try to tell you what's going on behind the scenes breaking news tulsi gabbard who is the director of
00:13:32.240
national intelligence the former congresswoman from hawaii former democrat currently a lieutenant
00:13:39.520
colonel in the u.s army reserve combat veteran of both iraq and kuwait she was criticized
00:13:47.760
because she visited assad in syria and suggested that what might follow assad would be far worse
00:13:56.480
her prediction has been borne out as we have now seen the mass slaughter of hundreds of thousands of
00:14:04.320
christians in syria under its new radical islamic leadership this is one of the great tragedies and
00:14:12.880
travesties in the nation it's very hard to watch these videos online a new report reveals that
00:14:21.760
president biden auto penned many of his official white house documents casting doubt on legitimacy of
00:14:28.880
executive orders signed by biden the heritage founders oversight project uncovered the truth that
00:14:36.320
many executive orders that were allegedly signed by former president biden were authorized with
00:14:42.160
identical auto pen signatures raising crucial questions about whether he was fully aware of
00:14:48.800
what he was even signing republican attorney general of missouri andrew bailey is pushing for a full
00:14:56.000
federal investigation i'm demanding that the doj investigate whether president biden's cognitive decline
00:15:06.000
allows unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval bailey said if true these
00:15:13.600
executive orders pardons and all other questions would be unconstitutional and well legally void think
00:15:20.240
about that what if adam shift's pardon what if nancy pelosi's pardon what if liz cheney's pardoned are
00:15:27.920
legally void because they weren't really signed by joe biden himself bailey also referenced speaker of
00:15:36.480
the house mike johnson's revelation that biden forgot conversations the two had and added this is uh
00:15:45.360
bailey speaking their profound reasons suspect that biden's staff and his political allies exploited his
00:15:50.800
mental decline to issue purported presidential orders without his knowing approval in the meantime just
00:15:59.200
to our north justin trudeau is finished as prime minister of canada canada has made mark carney its new
00:16:06.160
prime minister officially ending the tenure of justin trudeau trudeau who many suspect of being the
00:16:12.160
illegitimate son of margaret trudeau uh and cuban strongman fidel castro carney is already taking a hard
00:16:20.000
line against president trump saying he will keep tariffs on until the americans show us respect
00:16:26.000
carney was the subject of a scandal now with as photos surface showing him with jislaine maxwell the jailed
00:16:34.560
ex-girlfriend uh and a pimp for sex trafficker jeffrey epstein uh of course maxwell is in a in a minimum
00:16:44.160
security prison now having been charged with conspiracy in connection with the epstein matter
00:16:51.760
but no other person being charged with conspiracy along with her i ask an obvious question as a
00:16:59.520
non-lawyer but someone with common sense how can you have a conspiracy uh that involves only one person
00:17:07.280
doesn't it take two people to have a conspiracy coming up we have two huge stories troy smith the
00:17:15.280
editor-in-chief of slingshot.news joins us to report uh on a new story about a man who was arrested at
00:17:22.880
the capitol with a firearm during uh president trump's joint address to congress just days ago and then
00:17:30.480
secondly uh he's also ferreted out a hundred and thirty dollar billion dollar criminal scheme uh that
00:17:38.640
would make doge blush those two big breaking stories we try to go behind the headlines here in the stone
00:17:46.080
zone tell you really what's going on in the body body politic so whatever you do don't touch that dial
00:17:52.480
we'll be back with more politics right here in the stone zone
00:18:57.680
and we're back in the stone zone this is the place for politics we try to
00:19:03.360
give you tomorrow's news today joining me now is troy smith he is the editor-in-chief of slingshot.news
00:19:12.320
and this up-and-coming news site has broken more than its share of exclusive national stories
00:19:21.200
a shocking story by slingshot news who reported exclusively this morning uh that a man was
00:19:28.560
arrested at the capitol building with a gun uh as he attempted to carry it into president
00:19:34.240
donald trump's joint congressional address on the night of march 4th uh
00:19:39.680
troy smith joins us in the stone zone now roger it's an honor to be with you as always uh here on
00:19:45.920
wabc and i really appreciate the opportunity to break this earth-shattering news that i think so many
00:19:52.240
people out there are going to be amazed to hear was allowed to happen at our united states capitol just
00:19:57.840
unbelievable breaking news well we are pleased to uh to break this story for the red apple
00:20:05.840
audio networks tell us exactly what happened well uh roger this incident which the capitol
00:20:11.760
police have recorded on their website which is designed to list all the arrests on the capitol
00:20:17.680
grounds has largely gone unreported by other major news outlets but slingshot news has obtained
00:20:24.720
information from exclusive sources both former and current members of capitol police that reveal
00:20:30.400
reveal a troubling pattern of unprecedented security failures that have endangered the president's
00:20:36.320
life on both occasions he has appeared in the in the capitol building uh in 2025 uh so uh the suspect
00:20:44.320
roger was arrested um at the front gate of the capitol on march 4th the day of president trump's joint
00:20:52.640
address to congress uh the suspect reportedly placed a backpack through the x-ray screening post in a house
00:20:58.480
office building um and uh after it was discovered that this individual had a handgun on the x-ray
00:21:06.400
monitor uh police detained the suspect and conducted a physical search of the backpack discovering a 15
00:21:13.840
round capacity magazine loaded with 13 rounds of ammunition and a handgun uh the suspect was then
00:21:20.880
placed under arrest and transported to headquarters for processing uh but ultimately the scene roger painted
00:21:27.600
by the capitol police within their report uh it affirms that the capitol police effectively did their
00:21:34.000
duties but the sources within the capitol police and former capitol police officers have contacted
00:21:40.720
slingshot news with completely contradictory claims in fact they claim uh sources within the capitol police
00:21:47.520
have confirmed the slingshot news uh that the same individual that was arrested with this firearm on march
00:21:53.840
forth and a high capacity magazine with that gun and that same person roger was able to carry a firearm
00:22:00.560
into the inauguration of president donald trump on january 20th that was held in the capitol rotunda uh and
00:22:08.400
and and this is this is unbelievable because usually uh especially in the case of the president only secret
00:22:16.720
service are allowed to have weapons and in the case of the president traveling to the capitol uh the capitol
00:22:23.280
the capitol police then kind of assumes the role of protecting the president it's really roger the
00:22:27.840
only place that the secret service does not have full 100 control they give way to the capitol police
00:22:35.360
who were reporting at slingshot news allowed an individual that is supposedly a congressional staffer
00:22:41.600
to carry a gun unchecked unvetted into the inauguration and we do have confirmation this morning
00:22:49.120
that that individual was in the same room as president trump uh at least one time on inauguration day with
00:22:57.360
his firearm on his person which he was allowed to bypass security with so an alarming situation uh
00:23:05.360
roger when we talk about two assassination attempts that have occurred already that we know of of president
00:23:11.120
trump the fact that uh it took this individual attempting to go into trump's speech once again with a
00:23:18.720
firearm to finally see him arrested um it's just unbelievable and i honestly could not believe
00:23:24.800
the story uh and as somebody who knows president trump personally i wanted to ask you how you reacted to
00:23:31.600
this unbelievable security failure to kind of get more into this this is deeply disturbing to me first of
00:23:37.520
all let's just take the two uh incidents that we already know about in butler pennsylvania we still have
00:23:44.480
more questions than we have answers how is it possible that the secret service the state
00:23:50.080
police and the local police are fully aware of the fact that there's a man inside the perimeter of
00:23:56.000
the trump rally who's been seen with a rangefinder and with a rifle but they're aware of his presence
00:24:02.160
for 92 minutes yet nobody informs the president's secret service detail and he is not evacuated
00:24:10.400
immediately which is what the secret service manual requires then secondarily we're told that the
00:24:17.920
secret service uh homeland security the state police uh and the local police are all on different radio
00:24:26.320
frequencies so they could not communicate with each other which is demonstrated by the fact that local
00:24:33.680
police officers are the first ones who see the man who they allege shot uh at president donald trump
00:24:41.520
and killed firefighter cory comparatori thomas matthew crooks uh they knew that far earlier than federal
00:24:50.400
officials but they couldn't communicate it by radio then you have a situation in which the local police
00:24:58.080
offer on two occasions to conduct a drone uh surveillance of the entire area uh and the feds decline saying
00:25:09.520
they'll take care of it but we now know that not only did they not conduct such uh drone surveillance but
00:25:18.400
they had trouble getting the drone technology that our taxpayers paid for our tax dollars paid for uh because
00:25:25.840
they had never used it prior to this so they were actually someone from the secret service was
00:25:30.960
actually on the phone with the 800 number for the company that made the drones trying to figure out
00:25:37.200
how to get them to work this is deeply disturbing and of course then there's the question as to why
00:25:44.960
the counter sniper who got the shooter who was on the roof of the building there in butler in his sights
00:25:52.640
why he delayed eight seconds uh waiting until the shooter got off actually eight rounds before finally
00:26:00.480
shooting and killing him uh the whole purpose uh of course of the counter sniper is to take out any
00:26:07.760
threat to the president actually uh the man who shot from the roof was hit first by a local officer uh
00:26:16.480
shooting with a pistol that according to two congressmen who are conducting their own investigation into
00:26:22.560
what happened in butler uh and then they immediately hose down the roof of the building this reminds me of
00:26:31.280
when they hosed out the inside of the limousine where president john f kennedy was shot uh and that was
00:26:38.720
before we had the sophisticated use of dna technology too many uh questions uh about uh the alleged shooter
00:26:49.840
thomas matthew crooks that's who the secret service and the justice department tells us was the shooter
00:26:56.800
at president trump that day then you have joy reed over at msnbc although she's recently been terminated
00:27:03.840
she claimed that nobody really shot at trump the whole thing was a psyop that trump bit on some kind of
00:27:10.880
capsule that allowed him to simulate blood uh which we all saw on national television it's a good thing that
00:27:18.320
she was fired she should have been with that kind of analysis uh again we learned that the uh the
00:27:28.000
secret service tells us that they cannot get at the encrypted messages uh in thomas matthew crook's
00:27:37.120
cell phone that they don't have the technology to read those encrypted messages yet in the next breath
00:27:42.800
they tell us that they're convinced that they're convinced that he had no co-conspirators well we've
00:27:46.560
seen still photographs of him talking to someone who was he talking to and then we learned that apple
00:27:54.640
refuses to turn around turn over the records for mr crooks to federal authorities even with a subpoena
00:28:03.520
saying that it would violate the dead man's privacy yet in my case when i was the target in the russian
00:28:11.360
collusion hoax uh apple turned over all of my records uh without a subpoena to robert muller
00:28:18.400
and his thugs uh and you know what they found nothing whatsoever uh this is probably my greatest
00:28:26.080
single concern about the revolution going on in america donald trump is taking on deeply entrenched
00:28:34.880
entities deeply entrenched interests within our government uh there was a story yesterday uh that i
00:28:40.880
thought was a smear on cash patel the fbi director complaining that patel wanted to select his own
00:28:47.840
security detail uh and that he wanted a secure line installed between he and the president between
00:28:55.280
his office and the president and between his home and the president because he did not want to go
00:28:59.920
through the fbi switchboard why the uk daily mail says would he possibly not trust the agency that he was
00:29:08.560
chosen to have well i'll give you a good reason uh because they were one of the progenitors of the
00:29:13.520
russian collusion hoax because they spied on a candidate for president of the united states
00:29:19.440
because james comey was trying to entrap donald trump in his oval office meetings there are several
00:29:27.680
good reasons i have my own reasons when 29 fbi agents in full swat gear wearing night goggles storm
00:29:34.720
your home at six o'clock in the morning uh because it is alleged that you lied in your voluntary
00:29:40.800
testimony to congress uh when the same investigation and prosecution proved no evidence of russian
00:29:48.640
collusion wikileaks collaboration or any other crime well there's a good reason not to trust the fbi
00:29:56.560
troy this is a dynamite story uh i'll be interested to see if the mainstream media picks up the fact that
00:30:02.880
you have uncovered that on at least two occasions both back at the inaugural and now at the uh the
00:30:10.800
state of the union address that a man with a gun was in the same room or the same vicinity
00:30:16.480
as president donald trump well and roger uh i want to take this a step further here because this is very
00:30:21.760
important uh slingshot news is an investigative news outlet and as part of our article we conducted an
00:30:27.840
investigation into capitol police chief uh thomas manger now we did this because we received a tip
00:30:34.960
from former capitol police officer tariq johnson who i encourage everybody to check out on x he has put
00:30:41.680
out a lot of fantastic information about the capitol police and thomas manger specifically but he alleged
00:30:49.280
that uh it was actually a direct appointee ashen benedict the assistant chief uh for standards and
00:30:55.760
training operations for the capitol police that allowed for this individual to bypass uh security
00:31:02.320
during the inauguration now roger this is important because our investigation into capitol police chief
00:31:08.720
thomas manger revealed that not only is his wife a prominent anti-trump democrat politician from the
00:31:16.080
state of maryland but manger also has a history of criticizing president donald trump and doing it
00:31:22.080
publicly recently during a cbs appearance thomas manger the capitol police chief said that trump's
00:31:29.120
january 6 pardons send a bad message to america and he actually called them dangerous criticizing
00:31:36.240
the president now tariq johnson and other law enforcement officers we spoke to called that
00:31:41.280
statement particularly completely inappropriate manger also appeared on msnbc just days before nancy
00:31:48.960
pelosi's uh january 6 committee was set to kick off in an interview that was set up to attack president
00:31:55.840

00:33:47.120
stone and we're back with troy smith the editor-in-chief of slingshot.news he's had two blockbuster
00:33:56.320
exclusive stories uh i understand that in this new story you uncovered a doge style 130 billion dollar
00:34:06.400
criminal scheme uh which you say brings into the question the involvement of senator chuck
00:34:12.640
schumer and senator elizabeth warren tell us about your story well roger uh this is a very important
00:34:19.440
story that concerns puerto rico and the recent bond crisis that has resulted in up to 4 500 to 6 500
00:34:28.160
puerto ricans being killed from power outages uh so this is a coordinated effort that involves the
00:34:34.560
treasury secretary uh jack lou former treasury secretary jack lou as well as senator chuck schumer
00:34:42.560
uh the sec and and the fbi as well as the doj uh essentially what happened here roger is that the
00:34:50.880
sec knowingly issued fake bonds for several years to bond holders who were promised an opportunity to
00:34:58.320
invest to help puerto rico uh and we learned that over 75 billion dollars of the money that has been
00:35:07.280
allocated to puerto rico in recent years for things like improving the power grid um the aid that was
00:35:14.480
issued after hurricane maria uh things that go to puerto rico's electric power authority or prep as it's
00:35:22.320
called or the puerto rico aqueduct and sewer authority uh billions of dollars roger were issued in bonds to
00:35:30.160
these uh groups and the sec willingly and knowingly knew that they were fraudulent and they still issued
00:35:38.160
them anyway and basically what ended up happening is that the nation of puerto rico and really the u.s
00:35:46.000
taxpayer got stuck with this 75 billion dollar uh uh bill on top of the 50 billion dollars in unfunded
00:35:56.240
pension liabilities that were stacked on top of the debt that had already been racked up so senior
00:36:02.800
bondholders uh recovered uh 93 percent here roger so the top people they got out it was the little
00:36:10.240
people across the country that were trying to do something right that that got really hammered most of
00:36:16.240
them losing nearly a hundred percent of their money and what we uncovered was there was a definitive
00:36:24.080
connection between chuck schumer uh allowing for the sec to to go after these people and not going
00:36:32.400
after there was a coordinated effort between the sec and chuck schumer to obstruct a person prosecution
00:36:39.600
of the individuals responsible for this fraud as long as lofty donations from wall street bankers and
00:36:47.120
investment bankers continued to flow to the bank accounts of both chuck schumer and senator elizabeth
00:36:53.920
warren uh these these instances roger are plentiful uh and and even you're doing the story we talked
00:37:00.800
to an investment banker has been in who was in new york for for 30 plus years he documented uh in this
00:37:06.800
report that that schumer even would receive a weekly check from bernie made off uh the the exposure of this
00:37:15.440
kind of uh hypocrisy criminal uh activity by chuck schumer it must be investigated and i did have word today
00:37:22.560
roger that this story was placed in the hands of president donald trump today so we're hoping to
00:37:27.840
have uh action on this as soon as possible we've uncovered this and it all has to do with the false
00:37:33.760
aid that was issued to puerto rico under uh guys uh and and under these lies a professed by our government
00:37:40.880
looking at your piece this is extremely well footnoted and documented it's tough to in this format to see the
00:37:47.840
overwhelming evidence of fraud and again the u.s taxpayers uh end up uh holding the bag liberals
00:37:56.960
democrats other critics of president trump really going after elon musk as we said at the top musk
00:38:04.320
is fulfilling a presidential mandate and the mandate of the american people to ferret out waste fraud
00:38:11.600
and corruption and he's going to continue to do that if you think president trump has a lot of
00:38:16.800
security of the secret service you should see what elon musk's personal security is like uh the
00:38:23.440
efforts i think troy to drive a wedge between trump and musk uh counting on the president who has let's
00:38:30.560
face it a very healthy ego you don't become president united states you don't build one of the great real
00:38:35.600
estate fortunes of all time if you don't have a healthy ego this is not going to work if you watch
00:38:40.960
that great interview with sean hannity and fox uh i noticed that uh that musk was extremely deferential
00:38:48.720
to the president as he should be he's doing a public service he had nine federal investigations uh going
00:38:55.440
on against him by the biden administration all of which began when he purchased twitter changed the name
00:39:01.600
of its x uh and then pursued uh a new uh uh policy of free speech i'm grateful to him to have my voice
00:39:10.480

00:39:16.320
