Elon Musk, Trump, the love affair continues last week.
00:00:14.500
That's June 11th saying, I regret some of my posts about President Trump.
00:00:19.820
And then some other stories came up that I think, Rob, can you verify this?
00:00:25.080
Apparently they may have had a call together yesterday, if I'm not mistaken.
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.
00:00:41.100
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
00:00:48.540
Musk's earlier criticism included labeling one big, beautiful bill,
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.
00:01:11.880
This is actually a screenshot, but I can pull you the clip.
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,
00:01:39.380
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.
00:01:56.300
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,
00:02:25.600
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.
00:02:51.440
I said it would have happened as an option, but I mean, obviously it's not.
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?
00:03:21.920
Is there anything that you can do to forgive him?
00:03:36.900
It's the best thing we've ever signed in this country.
00:03:47.180
And when he did that, I was not a happy camper.
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.
00:04:15.080
You know, the thing is, the media have been trying to put those guys against each other the whole time.
00:04:19.800
Then it finally blew up in a, like, you're a pedophile kind of fashion.
00:04:24.160
And then Elon came back and seems to have apologized.
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.
00:04:37.800
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.
00:04:49.640
And I know this is an even more controversial point, but on the merits, I actually think the bill is pretty good.
00:04:55.680
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.
00:05:02.320
Let's see if you're going to be straight up with this.
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?
00:05:26.980
Now, I don't publicly endorse generally in Republican primaries, but I was a Trump guy.
00:05:37.000
I thought Trump had the primary locked up before it ever began.
00:05:44.520
But I just felt Trump was the best president of my lifetime.
00:05:48.840
He formed a coalition that no Republican in my lifetime had formed.
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.
00:06:08.640
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.
00:06:19.580
