Transcript

00:00:00.000 Elon Musk, Trump, the love affair continues last week.
00:00:03.360 Elon tweets, hey, Epstein, wait for it.
00:00:05.480 It's going to drop, all this stuff.
00:00:06.780 Trump comes out, you know, he should call me.
00:00:08.320 I'm not going to call him.
00:00:09.660 All this other stuff.
00:00:10.500 Then the tweets are deleted.
00:00:12.360 And then we get this tweet here from Elon.
00:00:14.500 That's June 11th saying, I regret some of my posts about President Trump.
00:00:18.280 Last week, they went too far.
00:00:19.820 And then some other stories came up that I think, Rob, can you verify this?
00:00:23.640 Did they have a call together?
00:00:25.080 Apparently they may have had a call together yesterday, if I'm not mistaken.
00:00:29.180 That was reported in the Wall Street Journal.
00:00:30.620 It was reported in the Wall Street Journal, right, that they had a call together.
00:00:33.360 So Musk signaled a potential easing of tensions with President Trump
00:00:37.140 by posting a hard emoji in response to Trump's statement.
00:00:39.500 We had a great relationship.
00:00:41.100 I wish him well, very well, actually, made to report.
00:00:43.780 White House on Monday following a public feud that escalated last week
00:00:47.040 over public disagreement.
00:00:48.540 Musk's earlier criticism included labeling one big, beautiful bill,
00:00:53.480 outrageous, pork-filled.
00:00:54.880 That's kind of how it started.
00:00:55.840 And it got nastier and nastier and nastier.
00:00:57.560 Is this a new clip, Rob, or is this a older one?
00:01:00.360 This is the post that apparently is Elon Musk apologizing
00:01:05.440 or starting to apologize by hearting the message from President Trump.
00:01:09.360 I haven't seen that yet.
00:01:10.200 Can we see this?
00:01:11.140 Yeah.
00:01:11.880 This is actually a screenshot, but I can pull you the clip.
00:01:13.920 Just give me one second.
00:01:14.900 Got it.
00:01:15.220 So how much you think this whole exchange, and Rob,
00:01:18.280 if you can also prepare the Besant clip of when the congressman's asking him
00:01:22.420 about the punch in the face, what do you think about the story,
00:01:25.060 the back and forth, is it a good thing, is it a bad thing, is it over,
00:01:29.180 is he ever going to be able to come back from it,
00:01:31.040 is Trump always going to sit there and say, whoa,
00:01:32.760 you went from me being a great leader, president, great patriot,
00:01:35.960 to I'm a pedophile.
00:01:37.020 Can you recover from that?
00:01:38.400 Where are you at with this?
00:01:39.380 You know, I knew that this relationship was going to blow up at some point.
00:01:43.460 In fact, I talked to a friend of mine who's more intelligent than I,
00:01:46.160 if you can imagine, and he, I said to him, this is around the election,
00:01:49.960 I said, hey, what do you think about the Trump-Musk thing?
00:01:52.000 He goes, well, look, it's obviously going to blow up, he said, I'd give it four months.
00:01:55.340 And I said, okay.
00:01:56.300 And I said, January 20th, February, March, April, May, June.
00:01:59.900 I said, man, you got it off by two weeks, but you were very close.
00:02:02.560 These two boisterous billionaires, you know, both used to being in charge,
00:02:06.180 getting their way on everything, and Musk, he could have a lot of influence
00:02:09.760 at the White House, but he's not the president, right?
00:02:11.400 So it's obvious he was going to come to a head.
00:02:12.880 And I happened to be in D.C. hanging around with some friends in and out of the admin,
00:02:18.500 you know, making my way around.
00:02:19.940 You're going to name drop right now.
00:02:20.880 No, I don't name drop.
00:02:22.560 Please don't do that to us.
00:02:22.860 Highly placed sources.
00:02:23.480 Us innocent people.
00:02:24.560 But go ahead, yes.
00:02:25.600 So I, but I'm hanging around D.C. Thursday, Friday, as this is going down,
00:02:30.640 and with people who are to varying degrees close to the thing and giving me the scoop.
00:02:35.200 And that's why I was so shocked to hear this ridiculous theory.
00:02:40.140 I don't know if you guys have seen it.
00:02:41.200 I don't know if you have thoughts on this.
00:02:41.920 Which one is this?
00:02:42.480 That it was all fake.
00:02:43.700 Yeah.
00:02:43.900 It was all a hoax.
00:02:44.640 It was all fake.
00:02:45.540 It was a distraction.
00:02:46.380 It was 5D chess.
00:02:47.320 They planned it all out together.
00:02:49.420 No.
00:02:49.620 Do you guys believe?
00:02:50.360 No.
00:02:50.880 I'm not.
00:02:51.440 I said it would have happened as an option, but I mean, obviously it's not.
00:02:55.600 Hey, call me a pedophile.
00:02:57.120 Yeah.
00:02:58.120 Wouldn't that be funny?
00:02:59.440 Zinger.
00:03:00.060 Gotcha.
00:03:00.560 Dude, do it.
00:03:01.420 See you on Monday, bro.
00:03:02.620 It actually, I mean.
00:03:03.680 Is that Laura?
00:03:05.220 No.
00:03:06.520 That's Miranda Devine from the New York Post.
00:03:09.320 It's a no relation.
00:03:10.540 No.
00:03:11.180 What's the conversation here?
00:03:12.600 This is where Miranda Devine asked Donald Trump,
00:03:15.280 would you ever be able to forgive Elon Musk for the tweets?
00:03:18.800 Is there any way to reconcile?
00:03:20.240 No, I just thought it was really.
00:03:21.920 Is there anything that you can do to forgive him?
00:03:26.100 Could you see that happening?
00:03:27.280 Well, look, I have no hard feelings.
00:03:29.120 I was really surprised that that happened.
00:03:34.480 He went after a bill that's phenomenal.
00:03:36.900 It's the best thing we've ever signed in this country.
00:03:40.620 And that's phase one, phase two, phase three.
00:03:42.820 All of a sudden, it all comes together.
00:03:45.220 It's coming together so well.
00:03:47.180 And when he did that, I was not a happy camper.
00:03:50.400 So it's too bad.
00:03:51.620 You said he had problems.
00:03:52.640 What kind of problems?
00:03:53.520 I mean, is it the drugs?
00:03:54.820 I don't know what his problem is, really.
00:03:56.640 I don't know.
00:03:56.960 I haven't thought too much about it in the last little while.
00:04:00.760 And I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually.
00:04:05.380 By the way, what a measured response.
00:04:08.340 Yes.
00:04:08.940 Are you kidding me?
00:04:11.120 I freaking love that response.
00:04:13.780 I know.
00:04:14.200 Don't you love it?
00:04:15.080 You know, the thing is, the media have been trying to put those guys against each other the whole time.
00:04:19.140 It hasn't worked.
00:04:19.800 Then it finally blew up in a, like, you're a pedophile kind of fashion.
00:04:22.480 I mean, that's a big way to blow up.
00:04:24.160 And then Elon came back and seems to have apologized.
00:04:27.420 And Trump was very measured.
00:04:28.400 And I think usually in these fights, we just pick a side.
00:04:32.400 Most people, if they had to pick a side, would probably side with Trump on this.
00:04:36.000 I love Elon.
00:04:36.860 Elon's a great man.
00:04:37.800 Elon really helped out conservatives when he bought Axe.
00:04:39.700 And he really helped us out when he donated to the Trump campaign, brought over some of the tech bros.
00:04:43.180 So, really, what we want is for them to get along again.
00:04:48.000 And it seems like that's what's happening.
00:04:49.640 And I know this is an even more controversial point, but on the merits, I actually think the bill is pretty good.
00:04:55.300 I know.
00:04:55.680 You're not allowed to say that because it spends a lot of money.
00:04:57.360 I actually think the big, beautiful bill is pretty good.
00:04:58.980 It's much better, actually, than anything I expected.
00:05:01.200 Let me ask you.
00:05:02.320 Let's see if you're going to be straight up with this.
00:05:03.960 Mr. Knowles-it-all, okay?
00:05:05.700 Knowles-it-all.
00:05:06.820 Born on March 18th.
00:05:08.140 I'm trying to see your profile.
00:05:09.900 Wow.
00:05:10.340 That's a good memory.
00:05:10.960 He's a good birthday.
00:05:11.900 That's my Pisces.
00:05:12.860 Yeah, that's what exactly the lady that I promoted to become the president of the insurance company, she's a Pisces, March 16th.
00:05:19.200 And it's actually very good people to do business with.
00:05:23.180 Were you a DeSantis guy a year and a half ago or Trump?
00:05:25.600 I was a Trump guy.
00:05:26.640 You were a Trump guy.
00:05:26.980 Now, I don't publicly endorse generally in Republican primaries, but I was a Trump guy.
00:05:31.600 It's no knock on DeSantis.
00:05:32.780 I really like DeSantis.
00:05:35.040 I thought it was a fait accompli.
00:05:37.000 I thought Trump had the primary locked up before it ever began.
00:05:40.440 Yeah.
00:05:40.900 So it's really known.
00:05:41.960 I think DeSantis is great.
00:05:43.100 I don't want this to be misconstrued.
00:05:44.520 But I just felt Trump was the best president of my lifetime.
00:05:47.720 He did a very good job.
00:05:48.840 He formed a coalition that no Republican in my lifetime had formed.
00:05:51.560 And I felt he was robbed in 2020.
00:05:55.320 And I felt he needed a second act.
00:05:57.420 And I thought, regardless, he was going to get a second act.
00:06:00.480 So I never really had any doubt about the Trump train.
00:06:04.120 This weekend is Flag Day.
00:06:07.880 Okay?
00:06:08.640 And we're celebrating a lot of different things.
00:06:10.880 And in the whole respect of Flag Day, we have some new merch.
00:06:16.220 An item that I don't know what happened.
00:06:18.280 We launch it at midnight.
00:06:19.580 And we send an email to the people that are insiders that buy merch.
00:06:23.060 And it's gone already.
00:06:24.520 But we have some of it still that's left.
00:06:26.000 A number of stuff that we have.
00:06:27.700 Here's a clip about what's about to come out.
00:06:29.500 And the new hat that's out.
00:06:30.700 I have a feeling some of you guys are going to lose your mind.
00:06:33.260 And you're going to want it ASAP.
00:06:34.420 So go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
00:06:35.640 Show me the hat.

00:07:08.940 It's numbered at a 250.
00:07:11.180 And when you get it, there's a card inside with the hat here.
00:07:13.960 I'm going to unwrap it.
00:07:14.780 Chris said don't do it.
00:07:15.760 Chris has got so many rules.
00:07:17.360 Sorry, Chris.
00:07:17.880 He's so creative.
00:07:18.780 Creatives have a lot of rules.
00:07:19.880 Too late.
00:07:20.260 Oh, that's bad.
00:07:20.840 And if you see this hat here, look at this.
