So want to let you know there are no refunds. Good evening, everyone. So over the weekend, President Trump turned 80 years old. I'm surprised. Out of habit, he demanded to see his own birth certificate. As you probably heard, President Trump negotiated a peace deal with Iran. Meanwhile, Joe Biden negotiated a rest in peace deal with this man. Trump also announced that he took out the head of the Trendaaragua cartel.

And no one is more upset than Kamala Harris, who now has to look for a new running mate. At the UFC event at the White House last night to kick off each bout, fighters walked from the interior of the White House to the octagon. It's a big change from the past when most physical fights happened inside the White House. At Sunday night's UFC Freedom 250, fighter Josh Hockett ended his post-fight speech by yelling, Michelle Obama is a man. Terrible. Don't clap. Don't clap. Don't clap. Don't clap. Don't clap.

Barack Obama angrily responded, Leave him out of this. I must have misread that. Rod Stewart is being criticized for appearing to drink alcohol at a World Cup match right after canceling a show in California due to illness.

But doctors had recommended he drink booze because he asked to hear himself sing. After the Knicks won the championship, New York City fans went berserk, attacking people and setting cars and buses on fire. Mayor Mamdani urged the violence to end, saying, if you burn everything down, there will be nothing to fly planes into. That's the one that bothers you?

And finally, during the NBA finals, the Knicks owner reportedly asked the team to abstain from sex, deeply upsetting the Kardashians. And this man. All right. We'll be back with more Gutfeld.

So, SpaceX just went public making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. And it makes me remember a time when he was just worth a few hundred billion. And the left despised him for saving free speech. There was all of the criticism. There was advertisers leaving. We talked to Bob Eiger today.

You hope they don't advertise. You don't want them to advertise? No. What do you mean? If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck me, yourself. Go, fuck yourself. Is that clear?

Yes, it's clear. And what's the old saying, success is the best revenge, which is why I always send this show's ratings to my old boss at the circus. But while Elon's busy saving mankind, it's the ones who don't understand economics who are screaming, eat the rich. Liz Warren immediately demanded a wealth tax on Elon, claiming no one needs that much money. After all, her relatives sold Manhattan for a mere $60 worth of beads.

And Bernie was so. upset. He couldn't leave one of his many, many homes. Others treated our first trillionaire like a magic wand that could fix all of humanity's problems. Rokana says a 5% tax could make public college free for everyone. Yeah, and like my dad used to say, if my aunt had a dick, she'd be my uncle. Unless your dad was a Democrat, then he'd say he's still your aunt. Ed Markey says it could fund every community health center in America for 26 years. Maybe, but if they weren't run by the government, they wouldn't need funding at all. Yeah. Okay, I'll take your clapping. But, you know, just click your heels three times, make a wish, and poof, all the problems that they

made worse will go away. But the truth is, these brats have no clue. Asking them to run an economy is like asking cat to spot you on the bench press. It'll all come crashing down. These dopes picture Elon diving into a vat of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck. But Elon doesn't just have hundreds of billions lying around. An estimated 800 billion of his fortune is tied up in SpaceX alone. It's not cash. It's capital for building rockets, cars, satellites. You know, all the stuff Dems think appear from a magic lamp.

And even if he decided ever to cash out, his companies would collapse and ruin hundreds of thousands of lives. So his company runs not to his benefit, but to theirs. He can't take the money and run. could he go? He doesn't own a home. Meanwhile, the lefty lecturers sit on their own fat stacks. Roe Con is worth a fortune.

But that's because his wife's father made millions in auto parts. No wonder he doesn't get it. He thinks money he comes from saying, I do. Bernie's made millions peddling books about how evil capitalism is. Liz Warren's ended up with several millions herself. I suppose we should ask

how. Wasn't from her bogus recipes in Native American cookbooks. We all know you can't cook a whole buffalo in a microwave. But Dems have always been too lazy to learn economics. They prefer the soft scientists, sciences, like puppy pronouns, and is my cat racist? Elon's companies have pumped $300 billion into the economy through wages, procurements, and taxes. Meanwhile, AOC blocked Amazon for bringing 40,000 jobs to NYC.

That's one way to prevent more millionaires. keep everyone poor. Still, these clowns treat them like a Nazi hoarding treasure. Yet, thanks to them, the government is burned through trillions, and they can't even cure whatever it is I picked up at the Lilith Fair in 1998. Meanwhile, Elon's new IPO just created 4,000 millionaires and 400, 100 millionaires. He's built 800,000 good-paying jobs. SpaceX is helping NASA send us to the moon, then to Mars.

He developed brain chips, so the paralyzed live their lives. lives again. And no, joy, they don't come in barbecue flavored. Tesla makes cars and now robots that will handle all the jobs humans can't stand, like having sex with Hassan Piker. He saved free speech on X after your buddies blacklisted us. His boring company digs tunnels to end a drain on all of our lives, which is traffic. The fact is Elon's got more successful companies than he has kids. And unlike kids, he didn't have to screw anybody to get them. Despite being called a fascist, a racist, Elon proved all these leeches dead wrong, which isn't hard. If you put them in charge of a lemonade stand, the lemons would go on strike.
