So anyway, let's get to the Talking Points Memo, Elon Musk. Interesting story. So I met him for the first time on St. Patrick's Day. And we had an interesting conversation in the Oval Office.

And I'm not name-dropping. I've already reported this. And he asked me some questions about presentation for the Department of Government Efficiency, and I gave him my opinion. And we had a very good, nice conversation. Now he's going to recede from government for a while. Okay? So I knew that was going to happen, not because of the conversation I had with him.

He didn't tell me that. But here's what I said on April 2nd on News Nation. What do you think the reality is about why Musk may be getting pushed or whether he's walking away? Well, as I said, very early on, Musk is a short-timer. It's just too hot. You just can't have a guy that hot. And he did a good job exposing the government waste, bringing it back onto page one. But now the technicians should take over.

You don't need a lawn to go out and sell it. It's sold. Okay, so yesterday, Mr. Musk put out this statement, quote, Starting probably in the next month, my time allocation at Doge will drop significantly. I'll have to continue doing it for anywhere, probably the remainder of the President's term, just to make sure that the waste and fraud that we start does not come back, which it will if it has a chance. So I think I'll continue to spend a day or two per week on government matters

for as long as the President would like me to do so, and as long as it's useful. But starting next month, I'll be allocating far more of my time to Tesla. And he has to do that because Tesla is in trouble. It lost $19 billion in revenue since Elon Musk joined the Trump administration. $19 billion is a big number. All right, profits dropped 71% in the first quarter of 2025, and is a 13% decline in global deliveries, and that's before the tariffs even kick in.

So Musk, who is the wealthiest man in the world, he doesn't want to see his company dissolve. And then you had the political stuff. So he's paid a huge price, as everybody knows, as far left has attacked him. I can't quite figure out why they hate him so much, but they do. All right. So on the Doge front, at least $160 billion in waste has been exposed. And that's a fact. Okay, that's not debatable.

and government has canceled, leases, grants, fraudulent payments, and they've made a lot of changes. It comes out to about $1,000 for every American taxpayer that Musk and Doge is saved. That's pretty good, right? 85 contracts related to DEI have been canceled. Now, that's why the far left hates it, because they love DEI. And I'm going to do that tomorrow, a big DEI thing on. So write that down. And in addition to the DEI stuff, the far left doesn't want any government cuts.

Listen to Senator Warren. Go. When unelected billionaires start ransacking our government offices, this is not business as usual. Nope, nothing is normal. living a nightmare created by Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and we need to wake up. By waking up, she's sending a signal to attack Musk, which people have done, by destroying Teslas and other things like that. I hold Warren and Bernie Sanders and AOC accountable for this hatred. I do. They incite it. There's no doubt about it. And here's an interesting question.

So we have a $37 trillion debt, right? In these far-left loons, They don't want to cut any of it. I shouldn't say that. They cut the Defense Department. They do that. But they don't want to do any of the wasteful spending. They want to send money to be ANMR and all of that stuff. But what was President Biden's plan to bring down the $37 trillion debt?

What? There was no plan. There wasn't even an effort to come up with the plan. Biden was the biggest spending president in American history. You just want to spend it, spend, spend, spend, they don't care, because they buy votes. And then everything that Doge wants to cut, oh, oh, you're firing this person, this third grader won't get dessert. Or this old woman won't get this or won't get, you know, it's easy. It's easy.

All right, when you cut, some people are going to be inconvenienced. all right so sum it up uh doge is a success um you know look Elon Musk you like them you don't like them doesn't matter to me I think that what he has accomplished is definitely worthy and that's a memo tariff latest now this story got buried nobody reported this I bet you don't know this Switzerland has announced that is going to to invest fifty billion dollars into the USA okay roche company it's a pharmaceutical giant based in ball switzerland uh is immediately going to start putting plants and things into the USA this is huge because we need to be self-sufficient in pharmaceuticals we need to have them made

the united states not in china okay did you hear this story no it got nothing because it helps Trump. But that is happening. And it's pretty damn impressive. Okay. Now, Mexico is the first trading partner, largest for the USA. Switzerland is second. We take a lot of stuff from Switzerland. But now it's coming here because of the Roche company. New poll on economics, Reuters. So-so poll. Okay. Four thousand three hundred and six. U.S. adults, first question, what chair of Americans approve of the president's handling of the economy? Approved 37 percent, disapprove 51. Second question, what chair of Americans approve of the president's job performance? Approve 42, disapprove 53. The best coast just got better.

Agree, 52, disagree, 31%. All of that is because of the stock

market. Talking points memo tomorrow will be on the stock market, okay? Because again today, all over the place is up a thousand points, and it goes down a bit, then it goes in, then it goes out. All of that polling from Reuters is about people losing money on paper and afraid. and you have a right to be afraid. I'm not one of these guys that go, ah, it's a matter with you. No, you worked hard for that money. I worked hard for the money.

I look at it, I go, ooh, now I'm not afraid, but I'm not happy. Okay, tomorrow is an interesting show. White House announces that President Trump will travel to the Middle East in May. It's going to Saudi Arabia, gutter, and United Arab Emirates from May 13th and May 16th. Do not be surprised if some Chinese government officials show up there.

Don't know for sure, but don't be surprised. He's not going over there just to kind of hobnob with the sheikhs. Okay. He will be going to Rome short visit with the Pope's funeral on Saturday. All right, here's another story that goes right. right into your house. And we try to do that here on the NOSB News, trying to make our reportage very relevant to your life. And that's what separates me. I've always done that from all the others who couldn't care less about you. We do care about you. So Talker Research, pretty good. I spoke to 2,000 Americans about saving money. Sixty-seven percent of Americans say they're not

saving enough money. Forty-seven percent, nearly half, have to give up hope of saving enough money to set themselves up. On average Americans try to save 500 bucks a month. 77% say they wish they had done things differently in a past, so they had more money now. And I've said this before, I'm going to just briefly say it. When I was a kid, one of the few things that I listened to my father about, sorry, dad, was you save 10% of all your take home pay. And I always have. More if I could. Shoveling snow, cutting lawns, working at Carvel, you name it. No matter how paltry my take home was, I put 10% in the back. It mounted. It mounted. If you teach your kids that rule, if they buy into that, we very, very ahead of the game.

but most Americans are having a lot of trouble paying the bills you know that but there's always stuff that you can cut out wasteful spending unnecessary spending impulse spending all of that crazy Minnesota man so I have a pretty good history in Minnesota rainy lake up in boundary waters great place okay I've been in Minneapolis St. Paul a number of times, covered the convention that's there, you know, I know the state pretty well. It's now a lunatic asylum. It rivals Colorado, California, Oregon, and I don't really know why the Scandinavian tradition in Minnesota has gone that way. I can't really know.

If you live there, maybe you can tell me. Latest is that the Attorney General Keith Ellison, fanatical Democrat, is suing the Trump administration over transgender executive orders. So Trump is basically saying there are two genders, male and female, that's it, okay? We're not letting you put some X on your passport, we're not going to give your preference in school, you're not going to get, if you're a guy in the women's locker room, no. the Trump administration's posturing? Well, they don't like that in Minnesota. So they're suing. Okay? And it's based on the Constitution. It says that this is

discrimination on sex-based gender or something. They'll lose, but it'll just go on and on and on. In addition to that, there is a guy who was arrested in Minneapolis. for desecrating, vandalizing Teslas. His name is Dylan Adams. He works for Minnesota Department of Human Services. He caused more than $20,000 worth of damage, which is a felony. The DA Mary Moriarty, let's see, Mary, there's the guy committing a crime. We got them on tape.

All right. So the DA says, not going to charge him. Not going to charge him. Mary Moriarty, Hennepin County. Who's Mary Moriarty? George Soros, one of George Soros's people. Not going to charge him in a diversion program. No. Because damage to other people's automobiles, expensive automobiles, they have to pay. Who's going to pay for that damage? Mary. You know, I kind of Almighty. And the sheriff, even the sheriff, is outraged by this. Brian O'Hara, Minneapolis police sheep, not the sheriff, he's a police chief. He goes, he committed a felony on tape. And you

are not charging them? This is lunacy. Minnesota is deep into that lunacy. Media madness. Here's a good story. a young journalist. I watch 60 Minutes every week, okay? Because it was the best. Good investigative reporting, hard-hitting, not a lot of ideology. Then when I advanced in my career,

I became friends with Mike Wallace. Some of you know that. He was the guy that influenced me the most about he's tough, good interviewer. I knew Don Hewitt, was the founding producer of 60 Minutes. Both Hewitt and Wallace admired. Maybe that was a little

overstated, but they respected, that's a better word, the O'Reilly factor, because I was tough. And I, right, now, both were liberal men, but they didn't allow the ideology to drive their reportage. I think that's a fair statement. Okay. But then 60 Minutes took a turn. I'll get to that.

I was on there twice, featured twice, okay? Both times they treated me very, very fair. early. So keep that in mind. I'm going to play a clip in a minute. The current executive producer of 60 Minutes, Bill Owens yesterday, quit. He said, quote, over the past few months, it's become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show, as I always have run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 minutes, right for the audience, unquote. So Owens quits. So why? Because CBS Paramount wants to sell to a company called Skydance, which is run by the son of Ellison, the billionaire. Okay. And that deal has to be approved

by the federal government, the FCC. President Trump, who's suing 60 Minutes for $100 billion. Okay, it might be a little much, but that's what he's doing. Trump says that 60 Minutes helped Kamala Harris in violation of election laws in 2004 by editing some of her stuff. And that is a pending lawsuit. Now, keep in mind, then in order for Paramount C. CBS to sell the sky dance, all right?

They got to get FCC approval. And if Trump says to Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC, hey, you're not approving it. He's not approving a deal. I'm talking billions of billions of dollars here. So the people who own CBS, Paramount, are watching 60 minutes saying, you're not going to hammer Trump because 60 minutes has hammered him. And on the anti-radial program today, I gave Sean a little history. This all began when Leslie Stahl interviewed Donald Trump and refused to acknowledge that the Clinton campaign was behind the phony Russia collusion story.

Remember that? And Trump went nuts. And Lestall kept going, it's no evidence, no evidence. Yeah, there was plenty of evidence. And then the anti-Trump stuff on 60 minutes got worse and worse and worse. So, Owens is out. Now, I thought you would be amused by this. So I was on twice.

Mike Wallace took me the first time, and it went very well. The executive producer was Jeff Fager, who was a very fair man, I think. Okay? He was very fair to me. Second one was nine years later. Wow. First one was 2004 with Wallace, and Nora O'Donnell, September, 2013.

She began quoting me about my grammar school experience. Rule of tape. Starting in grade school, I disobey the rules, mock those in authority, and brazenly challenged the accepted wisdom. My behavior back then was not much different from what it is today. And ain't America great? I was a little thug, and now I'm getting paid millions of dollars for being a big thug. But you have children. You don't want your children to act like thugs.

Sure, I do. I want them to challenge the conventional wisdom. I want them to debate. I want them to be honest people. And I want them to develop a conscience and to speak out about what they feel is right and wrong. Of course I do. But you weren't challenging conventional wisdom as a kid. Sure, I was. You were just misbehaving. Well, you can call it misbehaving.

And I call it a lively quest for intelligent debate in the third grade with Sister Lorana. Fortunately, she rejected my request and categorized me as a miscreant. Now, I have to say, I have always respected 60 minutes. I lament the political nature of the program. And here's something interesting. It began to get political under Barack Obama when Steve Croft, an excellent reporter, became Obama's best friend. I'm doing

to my family because we're going to Burlington for the event of liquidation candent. We're going to find the

best of the best of the work to the home and much more with offers over offers I can't

go back every day to be how can't go ahead. My kids and I expect

with ancied the liquidation because it's very very calient to lose it. Burlington

Marks, Rebaughes Wow! You set the table, put on a playlist, even made the lasagna from scratch, and now you're wearing it. OxyClean MaxForce spray tackles tough, set in stains the first time. Adulting is hard. Fighting stains shouldn't be. OxyClean Max Force.

It's not clean unless it's oxyclean. Obama's go-to guy. Now, in order to be a president's go-to guy, he got to be a little light on him. Okay? And when Kroft would interview Obama, he would give him the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't like me interviewing Obama. I was very respectful to President Obama, but, you know, I was challenging. So that's when 60 Min has kind of veered into liberal Democrat territory, and it has stayed there ever since.

But I don't take any joy on this. I think Trump has really dismantled a lot of the left-wing media, and he's probably happy about this. All right, smart life. I got a letter from a concierge member who lost $200,000 in a scheme on the Internet and is coming to me for help. $200,000. And I read the case, he sent me to case, and there was not much I could do. the FBI is this guy's only hope. And whether the FBI is going to help him or not,

I'm going to try to encourage that, but I can't force them to do it. The FBI, they've got big things going on. And this is 200,000 is a big thing for this guy, but it's not terrorism. Anyway, I don't know, I'm a Luddite, as I told you, at the top of the program. I don't deal with the internet.

that nobody gets my private information. I go into Walgreens and they want a phone number after I give them my credit card. I go, I'm not giving you my phone number. You're not getting anything for me. Okay, I don't want this stuff out. And they take my money, of course. But nobody gets any of my private information ever

because there is so much crime on the Internet now. Listen to these stats. 2023, the FBI received about 900,000 complaints about crimes on the Internet. Losses exceeding $12.5 billion. California is the worst state, 80,000 complaints, $2 billion in losses. This is all cybercrime. The big thing is fishing schemes, ph, I had no idea what that is. What it is is a type of internet scam where criminals send you fraudulent emails to try to trick you into revealing sensitive information like your credit card numbers and things like that.

Fishing. All right. Now, my question is always simple. How do you stop this? It was a good article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal by Nicole Nguyen. And we want to get her on tonight and she was totally disrespectful to us. so she'll never appear on this broadcast. I have to say the Wall Street Journal in general is disrespectful to our operation.

I don't know why, but they are. But we got a better at guest. His name is Clayton Cranford, joins us from California. He runs cybersafetycop.com. Cybersafetycop.com, which is solutions to this horrendous problem. Okay, I'm 10 years old now. So you know that, Clayton. I don't know anything. Why? How? This is a better question. How do cyber criminals get to people in the first place? How do they do that? Well, if you are in the digital world, if you have an email address, if you have social media, if you have a text, a number that people can text you,

you are available, right? Your information's out there, and for them, it's a numbers game. They'll just blast these, you know, fishing emails or fishing text to thousands and thousands of people, and they just need a small percentage of those people to take the bait. And that's really what... Well, give me an example of a debate. An example of a bait? Well, they send you something that is urgent, right?

They want you to panic a little bit, and it could be that, you know, your bank account, has been frozen because of fraudulent activity, you must log in here to restore it or something like that. So they want you to panic and they want you to click on that link. And it may take you to a website that looks a lot like your bank account, but maybe it's a website that is, you know, spoofing that site. And then you enter your information now they have it. So they're really kind of betting on people just emotionally responding to things. And that's maybe the first thing we should say is when you get these things, we need to just stop, take a breath, and carefully read it because there are some telltale signs that these are phishing emails or text messages.

Okay, here's what I do. I never respond to anything that I don't know. Okay? So my bank does not email me or does not text me, ever. My insurance doesn't, my lawyer doesn't, and when I get something like that, I just delete it immediately. There's no downside to doing what I'm doing, is there? No, that's the right thing to do because you're right. These institutions do not ask for your personal information. I mean, that is standard. And if you're not sure, you'll give them a call. Go to their reliable website or whatever. It has to speak to the bank manager and whatever. But the fact that you're clicking on the fraudulent website, the criminal website, doesn't that give them some access to you? Well, it can. If it's a

a link that's executing a application on your, on your computer. I mean, they could install, you know, some spyware on your computer. That's possible. But, you know, it's, it's not difficult for them to do this. This is happening, like you said, at, you know, epidemic rates. And it's a lot of more elderly people who maybe aren't as internet savvy that are often the victims of this. But you had to, for the guy who lost $200,000, he had to send money. I don't know whether send it PayPal or what but here to send these people money right yeah you got to wire them money you got to send them money who would do that yeah well they ask you to do it in ways that are a little weird like they're hey buy some gift cards and send me the numbers for the gift cards so sometimes

even when you're doing it i've talked to victims are like it just seemed weird to me you need to listen to that voice when you feel like something's not quite right you need to hit the brakes and look at it a little bit closely when you say listen to a voice isn't most of it's done in print well yeah but what i mean is like just when i talk to victims a lot of times they just have a gut feeling that there's something not quite right and you should listen to that feeling uh why are they blow it off i don't understand why people don't why they engage anyway it's like when someone calls you on a phone my line is i don't do business on a phone have a good day click that's it i'm not doing business on the telephone with somebody i don't know

that's an amazing policy yeah absolutely and like on social media i have a very locked down private social media account that the only people who get are people i know in real life like friends and family and when i get a request from someone i do not know it's an instant block and so people do that they've removed a lot of the lot of all right so you can do an instant block and that's what your outfit cyber safety cop dot com does right shows you how to protect yourself yeah and we do a lot of education for families with children because a lot of lot of children are being victimized, you know, in other ways online as well. Oh, sure. I mean, there's no doubt about that. Evil is all over the place. Final question

for you. When you lose 200,000, even if the guy goes to the FBI and reports the crime, because it's cyberspace, it's almost impossible to catch these criminals, correct?

And once the money leaves the bank, it's kind of impossible often to get it back. If you can, if the local law enforcement, their cyber crimes,

if they can alert the bank before that money clears, then they can get it back. But once it's gone... Once it's gone, it's gone. And the FBI is, I would assume, overwhelmed when you have 900,000 of these reported crimes a year. I mean, that's just incredible. Last word.

Yeah, it's heartbreaking for a lot of people. That's a life savings for someone, and there may not be any chance of getting it back. All right. Thank you very much, Claytony. Well, website again is Cyber Safety Cop, One Word.com. All right, I say in history, April 23rd, 1789, George and Martha Washington go to New York City. It's a great story. So Washington wins the election, okay?

She's the first president, and the capital is in New York City. A lot of people don't even know that. Washington, D.C. wasn't built. yet and they moved it out of Philly to New York. Okay. So George and Martha come up from their estate, Mount Vernon, in Virginia. And they move in to a, it wasn't really lavish, a little place on three Cherry Street in Lower Manhattan. The house isn't there, but the address is still there. Okay. And Martha right away hates New York. Hates New York. It's New York. It's It's dirty.

It's crime-ridden rats. 50,000 people, but it's not like New York now. All of the people lived in lower Manhattan, what they call the battery. They didn't live midtown or uptown. That was still woods. So Martha's Hawkin, George. In addition, George has to take over the presidency. Here's some fun facts.

So, George Washington didn't have any money because he was a general and Congress paid him a little bit, but he had to run this big plantation and he lost money and didn't have any money. He had to borrow money to get a carriage, a horse and carriage, to come from Virginia to New York City. So you can imagine that, a horse-drawn carriage. Once they got to Staten Island, they had to go on by boat, across, not quite the Hudson River, with the New York Harbor. George got seasick just in the harbor. And then everybody stopped, George and Martha would stop.

It took them eight days, I think, to get here. Yeah, eight days. So seven nights. There was just mobs of people trying to see them. John Adams did it the exact opposite. He came from Braintree Mass. He was a VP. He came down.

But same thing when he stopped. And it wasn't quite as long a journey. And Washington was very nervous on the job because he didn't know what to expect. There wasn't any country. He had to formulate the country. Final thing. Martha said to George, we got to get out of here. This is New York.

So they moved to Philadelphia. They moved the capital of Philadelphia again. Because, and I know it was Martha going, you better get me out of here. And then they started Bill Washington, D.C. John Adams, the VP, was second. president, and he spent only a very short time in the new White House at the end of his first term. It was not reelected. So that's his day in history, George and Martha. They were human beings back in a moment. Okay, let us go to the final thought of the day. I was going to go to the

Pope's funeral, but I can't because I'm doing two things for News Nation about Donald Trump's first 100 days. So a week from tonight, there'll be a town hall. Okay? I will co-anchor that town hall. We'll have a big announcement tonight on Cuomo at 8 o'clock News Nation about the town hall. You're going to want to hear this announcement. Then two days later, with Leland Vitterd on News Nation, there'll be him interviewing me about the strengths and the weakness of Donald Trump's first 100 days. So all of that is in motion, and I got to work on it over the weekend, so I can't go.

But Rome in the spring, put it on your list. And, you know, obviously the Pope and the respect that you show him comes number one. But just to be in that city in the springtime, you know, once May rolls around, it's a little warm. But in April, food is unbelievable. But I lament that I cannot go. I appreciate you very much watching listening on the radio to the We'll see you again tomorrow.
