00:00:00.000
So the Trump and Elon issue, you're going to see where I'm going with this.
00:00:05.260
So Elon says, hey, Epstein, it's going to drop.
00:00:09.840
And then apparently he deletes that tweet, Rob.
00:00:18.360
Then Trump says he has no desire to fix the relationship with Musk.
00:00:24.920
Even after former first buddy deletes his ex posts.
00:00:32.540
This is President Trump saying that Elon Musk has Trump derangement.
00:00:39.760
I think he got out there and all of a sudden he wasn't in this beautiful Oval Office.
00:00:47.460
I was telling the chancellor, this is where it is.
00:00:52.280
They come in and they walk into the Oval Office.
00:01:04.640
Everything big comes right from this beautiful space.
00:01:08.580
It's now much more beautiful than it was six months ago.
00:01:12.520
A lot of good things are happening in this room.
00:01:34.200
Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it.
00:01:58.200
On Elon Musk, do you plan to speak to him on the phone anytime soon?
00:02:13.460
You'd have to ask him whether or not he's already called.
00:02:22.000
But, you know, but I would imagine he'd want to talk to me.
00:02:26.420
So in this situation, who should call who first?
00:02:32.360
Then Elon said some stuff, apparently, with Stephen Miller's wife and all this other stuff that came out.
00:02:36.900
You know, Steve Bannon demands Pentagon investigate Musk's push for sensitive briefing in China.
00:02:43.020
Rob, I don't know if you, just like I took your wife, we will take back America.
00:02:59.320
Because he said, Grok actually fact-checked him.
00:03:16.780
Well, because he put it into Grok, and Grok mentioned something about it, Rob.
00:03:27.420
Because I want to go to a place here on what's going on.
00:03:45.880
Musk's own AI claims he took Miller's wife and mocked him for.
00:03:50.200
Elon Musk has been forced to rebuke Grok, his own AI chatbot integrated into X,
00:03:53.560
that falsely suggested the tech billionaire wrote a post that he took his wife on Sunday.
00:03:58.020
Grok replied to a question on X, asking whether the post's supporting to be,
00:04:02.640
which appeared to mock the White House Deputy Chief of Staff by stating,
00:04:08.800
The chatbot answered by suggesting the post likely existed and was deleted.
00:04:13.280
In response, and exasperated, Musk posted, no, it's fake Fs.
00:04:20.880
So Grok is telling him, Grok's telling the world, most likely you did it and deleted it.
00:04:30.820
Can you pull up Steve Bannon and the Steve Bannon and the Musk feud?
00:04:33.580
Because Steve Bannon said some stuff about Musk, and then Musk said some stuff about Steve Bannon.
00:04:40.480
He actually forced himself into the Pentagon, which was a huge explosion.
00:04:45.320
And there's a huge article today in the Atlantic magazine that backs up everything I say,
00:04:49.940
that President Trump was outraged when he found out that Elon Musk determined himself to force the generals
00:04:55.200
and the senior staff of the Pentagon to give him a highly classified briefing on the war plans with China.
00:05:01.820
Why would Elon Musk need that other than to maybe talk to his business partners about it?
00:05:06.580
He has no need to know the strategic plan and the warfighting plan against the Chinese Communist Party,
00:05:15.760
Now that's a very real possibility, as our defense secretary said in Singapore on Saturday,
00:05:21.980
an attack by the Chinese Communist Party, by the PLA, may be imminent in Taiwan.
00:05:29.300
So the question is, why is Elon Musk, who has no need to know that whatsoever,
00:05:35.200
why was he forcing himself into the Pentagon to get a highly classified brief?
00:05:40.260
And his security clearance should be held in abeyance.
00:05:42.860
And with no security clearance, he can't run the companies.
00:05:45.440
So whether you use the Defense Production Act or anything,
00:05:48.040
but I think he shows by this immature, oh, Bannon's a communist and a retard,
00:05:53.120
the fear he has of what's going to happen given his behavior.
00:06:00.100
That was in response to, I believe, Elon Musk tweeting.
00:06:03.040
Musk called Steve Bannon a criminal and a new ex.
00:06:22.900
It was like, you know, when Trump said, I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that.
00:06:25.720
And then Musk said, then I'm going to turn off this and I'm going to turn off that.
00:06:28.680
Folks, the guy, the auto industry needs his chargers.
00:06:41.440
The stuff that this guy's built, if there was anybody that wanted to be Darth Vader and a villain long term,
00:06:52.240
This is probably the first time ever where he revealed his real long term moves to the world.
00:06:58.160
And either the world caught it or it didn't catch it.
00:07:04.860
Where he's going to be worth in the next 20 years, 25 to 50 trillion dollars,
00:07:10.760
access to the most incredible weapons, access to the most incredible robots.
00:07:17.620
If he finds a way to live on a different planet than any other planet becomes the enemy to the planet that he's living in.
00:07:25.220
If he if he goes and does that and he's got that kind of wealth,
00:07:30.460
you're going to see the world is going to be ran by this technocracy.
00:07:33.640
You know, billionaires have the kind of wealth that's going to make billionaires look like they're poor.
00:07:54.060
If somebody's worth 25 trillion dollars, you're worth a billion dollars.
00:07:58.020
That's the same as you having a million dollars in the bank.
00:08:13.800
And that comes with a lot of power and authority.
00:08:15.860
And for the first time ever, we watched how a president went up against the richest man in the world.
00:08:51.280
Does he, because now, how do you, you can't get into this fight with him if he's that powerful.
00:08:55.400
You can't, he can't get into this fight with Elon.
00:08:57.860
If Elon has all these robots, which he's going to have, he's already said it, and they're stronger than our military.
00:09:05.280
How much emotional restraint has he shown the last week?
00:09:09.800
By the way, you have to realize, we respect the empire he's built.
00:09:17.860
It's very hard to build what he did with Tesla and the amount of criticism he got.
00:09:21.860
The support we gave when the Delaware judge didn't want him to pay out his 55.3 or $56 billion that he earned to build all of these companies at the same time and become the modern day Iron Man.
00:09:36.980
Does this guy, deep down inside, is showing signs of a good guy?
00:09:42.880
But in the last week, if you can all of a sudden say something about someone's wife you mocked and say something about the president calling him a pedophile and then deleting it, the score for emotional, you may be a genius when it comes down to creating wealth, but where are you at for emotional restraint?
00:10:10.420
We're entering a very, very interesting next era.
00:10:16.460
A very interesting next era where there's going to be rich people, then there's going to be wealthy people, then there's going to be super wealthy people, then there's going to be individuals that have more wealth than 80% of countries have.
00:10:32.020
That's the next phase we're getting to, and the game's going to change in a very, very big way.
00:10:40.120
You know, you're not going to be sitting there like, you know how, when you're growing up, it's like, what do you want to be when you grow up?
00:10:51.160
You want to be the greatest basketball player, Michael Jordan?
00:10:54.240
Do you want to be like the greatest, you know, actor?
00:11:00.300
A person is showing that the most powerful position in the world maybe isn't the president.
00:11:13.580
I think it all comes down to time horizon, and I'm going to make an analogy here.
00:11:16.480
Like, when it comes to money, when I say save that money, people say, well, what do you mean save that money?
00:11:36.600
He said, Trump may have the power for the next three and a half years, but I got this thing for 40 years.
00:11:41.700
Don't forget that Elon said that and he meant it.
00:11:45.520
So in my opinion, I was very critical of how Elon was acting, and now he just deletes the tweet about Epstein as if we're just going to forget that you just accused Trump of being a pedophile.
00:11:59.360
But looking back at it, I almost want to put a little blame on Trump.
00:12:06.200
All right, you gave him Doge, and he's going to run the Department of Government Efficiency.
00:12:14.940
Why is he bringing his kids to the Oval Office?
00:12:17.680
It's like, you know how you give them an inch, they'll take a mile?
00:12:20.740
Elon's going to go wherever he's going to go, and he's going to be in every meeting until someone says, bro, what are you doing here?
00:12:33.340
He's behind the Oval Office, the desk, with his kid on his shoulders, while Trump's giving his speech as if that's normal?
00:12:41.220
Like, you're giving him a little too much access.
00:12:43.920
And then you hear the story about Scott Besant, who's the Treasury Secretary.
00:12:55.600
This is a clip of Steve Bannon reciting or explaining that fight, if you want me to play it.
00:13:01.560
The physical altercation you had in the West Wing right outside the Oval Office between the Secretary of Treasury, Scott Besson, who's a good friend of mine, and a very even-handed guy.
00:13:14.620
And that's because, number one, people felt that day that Elon might have been on drugs.
00:13:19.920
And, number two, Scott called him a fraud to his face and said, look, we're in the middle of a terrible budget fight.
00:13:35.160
So I think the president went out of his way to basically give him every opportunity to perform.
00:13:43.020
Do you believe the level of accuracy of that story, that that's how it went about?
00:13:46.160
I believe that there was a decent amount of accuracy with that.
00:13:50.480
I do believe that Trump put together a team of rivals.
00:13:52.760
There's no reason that Elon Musk would get along with any of these guys.
00:14:00.240
You're some schmuck that's running whatever department right here.
00:14:03.700
So I think there's a part of Elon that doesn't respect any of these guys.
00:14:07.000
And I think it's on Trump to say, no, no, no, no.
00:14:08.880
If I'm going to let you in this room, these are my guys.
00:14:13.020
And I do believe there's some credibility there.
00:14:18.380
I'm convinced something happened and that black eye has nothing to do with X punching him in the face.
00:14:26.660
I'd be coming to work with black eyes every single day.
00:14:33.000
And it was so embarrassing that prompted Elon to go nuclear because he, to save face, he went there.
00:14:42.960
And look, you judge people by how a part of the madness of Elon comes with the drive that he has in his belly.
00:14:56.620
He got it from his father, upbringing, competition, a girl, whatever it is.
00:15:01.180
That fire in the belly is a very unique fire in the belly.
00:15:04.220
But you better believe that fire in the belly is what did you say?
00:15:09.020
But then there is that level of what did you say?
00:15:12.820
If there is that part of I'm going to destroy you at all costs where you're publicly humiliating a Stephen Miller that people have to grog and a software you designed validates that you did do that and say that?
00:15:30.440
A part of me wants to believe 100% of what Steve Bannon is saying because he's in the know and he talks to everybody.
00:15:36.680
And if there's anybody that would find that, it's him.
00:15:40.320
But a part of me is also thinking something happened.
00:15:45.640
Do I visualize Besant punching Elon in the face?
00:15:48.600
I don't visualize Besant punching Elon in the face, but I've been surprised.
00:15:52.300
I mean, listen, we call this year the year of what?
00:15:55.420
There's been a lot of surprises this year so far in the first six months of the year.
00:15:59.740
But I mean, this report goes, there's another report.
00:16:11.680
We just got to get to the freaking finish line.
00:16:16.480
Yeah, but you're right because it was like, okay, now it's like a little bit too much.
00:16:22.540
In regard to the, if the Scott Besant thing with Elon fighting White House this is, you know what?
00:16:29.880
You have two alpha males throwing down in the White House for what's best of the country.
00:16:39.820
Meanwhile, the Democrats, they fight for tampons in men's restrooms.
00:16:48.440
And then let's not forget, his name was Aiden Mace Cherposky.
00:16:52.220
He was a legislative aide for Senator Ben Cardin.
00:16:54.860
They were filming gay pornos on the Senate hearing room at the Hart Senate building.
00:17:06.040
And these are the same people trying to lecture us about morals.
00:17:09.120
And then, Tom, I'm going to let you say your piece.
00:17:14.260
20, blowing $20 million on a campaign called Sam, S-A-M, speaking to American men.
00:17:22.420
They're spending $20 million for this two-year campaign, attempting how to talk to regular
00:17:31.520
There's no amount of podcasting with a cool hat you could put on Eric Swalwell, Mr. Fang Fang,
00:17:37.740
or putting on a fake manly beard on Pete Buttigieg, you're not going to fix the problem.
00:17:43.940
So in regard to that fight, if that's the fight and they're fighting for what's best
00:17:49.600
So getting back to the question, then we can move on here.
00:17:54.240
And there's too many people who have made comments about Besson and Musk.
00:18:03.320
Did Musk drop his shoulder like a rugby player and hit him in the chest, and then Besson kind
00:18:12.680
But there's a lot of these little comments out there where there's smoke, there's fire.
00:18:18.400
I'm 95% believing that Besson said to him, you're a fraud.
00:18:26.540
You said $2 trillion, you said $1 trillion, now you say $160 billion.
00:18:29.420
I believe that is exactly a comment that Scott Besson would make in the middle of this war.
00:18:34.680
Now, the rest of this stuff, what goes on in Congress and everything, yeah, all that's
00:18:46.640
Every bill, everything you find out goes there.
00:18:51.200
Trump's got team rivals, and we'll see how this is going to play out.
00:18:54.400
But we haven't seen the last of Elon Musk, the robots and all the power and everything
00:19:00.960
Fathers, dads, if you're out there, our weekend that nobody talks about is coming here.
00:19:08.980
It's to the point that for Father's Day, sometimes fathers don't get anything for
00:19:12.380
themselves, that they buy stuff for themselves.
00:19:15.000
They're like, I'm going to buy a gift for myself.
00:19:17.900
This is your weekend, and we know America can only get safer.
00:19:26.540
Great fathers make the economy work because they raise citizens that become great citizens
00:19:33.580
And we have some special items that Chris, our model, is here to show you.
00:19:37.120
But before doing so, our actor, very famous, legendary model actor, is in our commercial
00:20:10.340
So every item that we're going to show, except for the last one, is going to be $99 and
00:20:23.660
For the single watch, Future Looks Bright always on the inside.
00:20:35.800
For the fathers that have the three, black, Future Looks Bright, Lion Shield, again, super
00:20:47.240
And then once we go into Father's Day, we know the stereotypical gift, always give dad
00:20:56.420
But this comes with, not just a tie, a matching handkerchief.
00:21:05.540
Last but not least here, we have our Cufflinks tie bar set.
00:21:11.960
And last but not least, here we are second, our set for $49.99, you're going to have
00:21:18.500
a beautiful, beautiful packaging here that you can see.
00:21:31.300
Now we're giving you a keychain with it, a little Lion Shield in there.
00:21:41.160
We have brown, black, and we have a beautiful pewter gray.
00:21:47.040
And then once we go into apparel, what screams dad is polos, polos, polos.
00:22:02.220
You know we're about value here at Valuetainment.
00:22:06.600
And then we have our white for our polo golf days.
00:22:12.480
And if you zoom in, our buttons have little Lion Shields within it.
00:22:16.980
And then we always end with Future Looks Bright when you walk away.
00:22:34.060
And if you look in, we have our little Lion Shield buttons inside interior.
00:22:58.980
Whether it's for you, whether it's for your father, whether you work with others who
00:23:09.140
And the jacket for you, we have the sizes there for you to get.
00:23:11.620
I might go get somebody pregnant just to be able to be a dad.
00:23:14.320
