I don't get why everybody in the Trump administration thinks if something's broken, let's have the drug addict Elon Musk try to fix it. And this seems to be their go-to about everything, and it is insanity. Put up this headline from Fox. Elon Musk has been tapped to help lead investigation into signal chat leak. And then the DCC responds, it must say dumb fucking idiot written across all our foreheads. Number one, I love that energy from the DCC. But number two, this notion that Elon Musk is this one size-all hero is the epicenter of what is so broken about Republican thinking they think if somebody is rich then they know

how to do shit and it's just patently false what's interesting to me is Elon Musk has taken Tesla it's had a huge nosedive Twitter since he's owned it huge nosedive why is it that he's owned it, huge nosedive. Why is it that they think he is the best and brightest at everything? And then I go back to, this is a man that doesn't have security clearance in the normal channels. So he's a Russian asset. It's obvious. It's bananas to me that he's fixing everything. And I go back to, he bought and paid for the presidency.

And he wants his fingers in all of it. Yeah. You know, with Elon Musk, I start to think like Trump and Musk have secrets together. And I think, did Elon satellites, did they rig the election? But I'm a very evidence-based person. And so I want to see the evidence for that. But the fact that Elon

keeps face-planing and humiliating Trump's agenda, and think about how difficult it would be to out-humiliate Donald Trump. Right. And Musk does that consistently. He appears more incompetent than Trump, which is really something to marvel at. You know? It's stunning. And so, but Trump and the MAGA, they're always wanting to help Elon constantly. So Trump, you know, with these tariffs, he announces that he's going to do 25% tariffs on all American cars and the parts. And here is Trump in the Oval talking about this. Well, he makes, he is a fantastic Tesla. Will tariffs be good? I think they may. It could be a net neutral or they may be good. He has a big plant in Texas. He has a big plant in California. And anybody that has plants in the United States, it's going

to be good for, in my opinion. All this stuff is to help Elon. And here's what pisses me off about Elon Musk, about Jeff Bezos, about Trump. These guys can't win on their own. They have to rig things. So Musk is so upset about his Tesla stock tanking. I mean, he's just beside himself. He's got the CIA involved. He's got the FBI involved. He's got the DOJ involved. You know, he's just bootle baby Niagara Falls on Twitter over the whole thing,

right? And he can't make Tesla great on his own. He can't in his own merit say, my cars are fantastic. We're all dealing with this incompetent, bumbling person. And then everybody's like, oh, he's so great. He's so smart. I'm like, what videos are they watching? Like, how is it that the American public is so disillusioned when they see someone so incompetent fumbling around, can barely even string together a few sentences. And they think, oh, this is the guy that needs to be in charge of things. And then he always has to rig everything and have Trump help him, or he gets government subsidies. All of our taxpayer money goes to this guy's

rewarding himself government contracts. These men, these alpha male MAGA men, and I say alpha male in quotations, you guys, because we all know they're not, they can't do anything on their own. No, I mean, we've had Pam Bondi, the attorney general, is now calling property damage to a Tesla domestic terrorism. You've got the commerce secretary saying, oh, you've got to invest in Tesla.

The entire Trump administration is campaigning for Elon Musk and Tesla. Trump is doing commercials for Tesla in his words. But my thought goes back to Elon Musk owns Trump. There's just no other way to describe it. That's what makes me think, like, is there some secret between them? There's got to be. Because otherwise, like, right now with what Hegseth's doing and the stock market going up, down, up, down, it's just so obvious that nobody that's in the federal government right now

at the top of it is working for the American public's best interest, whether it comes to national security, economic security, planes taking off and landing safely. They do not give a shit about any of that. It is the blind leading the blind at a scale that I have never seen. If this were in a movie, you would think this is so unrealistic. Right. That a country that has that much money, that much power, a population of 340 million people, and these are the people that they think should be in charge. Okay.

The bro side of the MAGA is a huge component to it. Barstool Sports and all of these men that get red-pilled. And Dave Portnoy, I think, flirts with all of this and plays a role in this. He's really upset about Pete Hegseth. And let's hear this clip. Surreal that these guys added Jeffrey Goldberg to this group chat. I mean, they were talking about the attack, leading up to the attack, all the way to a couple hours, when they're going to do it, the time, the weather, you name it. And if this information somehow got out to the

Houthis, and I assume in situations like this, things move at the speed of light lots of american soldiers could have died lives in jeopardy so to me a major major major glitch in intelligence and just a huge mistake and here's the thing nobody in this administration can take accountability for anything and that is the most unmasculine thing on the planet when somebody always has to blame other people. It is a titty baby parade. It is a micro penis parade with these men. They stand around constantly and blame, oh, it's the journalist. Oh, it's this person. Oh, it's that person. It's so childish and it's become so normalized to the MAGA base that they think that this is normal.

And we're talking about people, not just Gen Z, I'm talking about people that are boomers, that are Gen Xers that watch this and they see this crybaby routine. And it just blows my mind and it makes me lose my faith in this country that people sit around and spend their time watching Fox News and this incompetence being spun as somehow being competent and they buy it not only do they buy it they're like holy Pete Hegseth alone this is this isn't Trump's fault it's the journalist's fault like they're detached completely from reality totally from really I've been reading a couple conspiracy theories I've been dying to ask you okay

Is this government so incompetent that it is on purpose? Destroying like the economy national intelligence the military is it a conscious decision to do it or are they just so incompetent? They it's just a byproduct of their incompetence so i know what you're talking about this is a theory that people that are trump apologists are saying that it's it's called the mar-a-lago doctrine or something like this that he's intentionally doing these things with the economy they're not competent enough to pull that off i mean do you know what i mean but putin is if he's picking all these people. But I think the goal, first of all, all these people are billionaires, so they don't understand

what working class people that have kids and jobs and their parents don't have massive amounts of wealth that can help them, they don't understand what that is. So there's no empathy for anybody in that administration towards a working class human being, much less anybody who's a marginalized person. And I think that the intentional breakdown of the tariffs and all of this, I think Trump, anybody can get a seat in front of him. You've got like that Scott Besant, who's clearly in that. He's like, hey, I've got a great idea. You're so great, though. Your hair looks great. Your makeup looks great. I think he's so easily able to manipulate. He's easily manipulatable that he goes along with all of this stuff. But I do think that the end game for Putin is for the United States to be a

mess and to kind of have a civil war, which we are via propaganda right now, psychological war within the country. And it's been successful in that regard. But I don't think that this administration is competent enough to say, hey, we're going to flood the zone, but it's all, you know, the 4D chess that we're talking about. It's just, it's just not just not i mean these are just not smart people these are not people that that listen these are not people that step back and know anything about history or military strikes or social security i mean elon musk is on joe rogan saying that he thinks social security is a Ponzi scheme. And every American that is a working class American, when they get their paycheck, they say a huge percentage of it that goes away to Social Security.

These guys don't understand that. They think that once it goes to the government, it should be theirs. Elon thinks all of our money should be his money. So he has no idea how to relate to normal people, nor do I think that Trump administration could pull off some crazy incompetent coup that ended up being competent. A competent incompetent campaign. There's a Democrat that I really like. His name is Representative Jason Crow, and he rips into Fox over Signalgate.

I've spent my life in service to this country. I have taken the oath of office, which you have never taken, by the way, to put my life on the line to defend this country. And I went to war in Iraq. I went to a war in Afghanistan twice. I have stood up time and time again to defend this nation. And I've seen my friends give their lives for this country. So do not tell me, do not tell me that I don't have real national security concerns and I will not every single night before I go to bed, every night, ask myself one simple question. Am I keeping faith with the men and women who I have a solemn obligation to keep faith, our sons, our daughters, our brothers, our sisters, that we're asking right now, where

we're sitting here in the comfort of our offices and under the Capitol dome to go and fight for us. I got to leave it. Are we keeping faith for them? Congressman. That is the simple question all of us must ask. This is where I'm going to leave it. Okay. Fox News is like, because they know for years they pitched that we are, we support the troops.

Look at this person served and that person served. And they know how breathtakingly dangerous and incompetent this shit is. And they have to sit there and spin it. You would think that would give them pause, but it doesn't. They're sitting there bragging about, oh, well, the Trump administration, there's just so much transparency. It's crazy. When I'm looking for new stories for us to talk about here, I'll get on Blue Sky, I get on Twitter, and I'll get...

Because Elon has the algorithm so rigged, you're going to see a bunch of right-wing shit. It's crazy when you see these huge right-wing accounts and how they spin it. And they're like, Hegseth and Waltz and Rubio, they're so smart. They're over there playing 75D chess. Right. And they say it over and over. It's so ridiculous. Okay. But I do think it's important for Democrats to go on Fox.

I agree. I think that's important to at least try to break through because Fox is the origin of all of the MAGA cult. And MAGA is a cult of cruelty that's that's what it is they like all of this shit because it's mean Fox is mean to the people they want to be mean to Trump is mean to the people that they want to be mean to and it's it's just a contagion and a cancer okay last up well two more things this will be a little bit longer for you guys okay the FBI is now turned into a rent-a-cop service for CEOs.

They're spying on social media posts. It considers threatening to corporate executives per new FBI assessment obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. So think about that. If you want to post – this is where the First Amendment is – the attacks on the First Amendment are coming. Because if you want to post like your health insurance company dicks you over and they didn't cover something they were supposed to cover. Or you're pissed off at Jeff Bezos because he, you know, went and kissed the ring. Or you're pissed off at Mark Zuckerberg. You should be able to post it.

Not in this world. And it's unbelievable because Elon Musk is pro-free speech. Oh, that's a ruse. That's such a ruse. He's pro-free speech. Oh, that's a ruse. That's such a ruse. He's pro-free speech as long as it's for him. But if you talk bad about Tesla, Pam Bondi's going to come get you. All of these guys act like they're so free speech.

And they have a media echo chamber that is five times, six times the size of the left-wing media echo chamber. And they scream censorship all the time. Yes. We wish we could censor them we wish we could get these people to shut the up it's all projection everything they say about the first amendment free speech absolutist he was just canceling accounts in turkey um over the

whole erdogan thing so elon musk whenever he doesn't want information out, he games the algorithms. He is the antithesis of free speech absolutist. But Tim Miller over at The Bulwark had a great tweet. And this is about Pete Hegseth. And he says, if a black lesbian soldier had texted the exact time we were planning to bomb Yemen to a woke anti-Trump reporter, what do you think Pete Hegseth would be calling for today? Can you even imagine? Can you even imagine the meltdown at Fox News? Can you imagine Elon Musk's meltdown on Twitter? These people, this person would be arrested so fast.

Kristi Noem would have them in a headlock down in El Salvador. That's what we're talking about here. These people do not give a shit. This is the same Fox News and that whole right wing. We're still talking about George Soros when they've got their billionaire. They're still talking about Hillary Clinton's emails. And Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. I mean, every chance Trump loves to be like in election mode, every chance he can get, he loves to bring up Hillary or Joe Biden. I mean, they cannot get over stuff.

They have to have an enemy at all times. And here's what's so scary about it. If you look at our state, we've lost abortion. Guns have more rights than women do. And now you have Bibles in the classroom, Ten Commandments on the wall. And as they keep moving the goalposts, what's left for them to win is pretty grim. It's very grim. I mean, it's so, it's really, and furthermore, back to Tim Miller's tweet, knowing that what

I've seen all of this group of white men do, now I know why they're so terrified of DEI. Right. Because they're so incompetent, because the system's been rigged for them their entire lives. They've never had to hit a bottom. They've never had to struggle. And so here they roll out and they think all of this is going to be easy and governing is going to be easy. And it's not. Well, they think, well, we're white men and we're the patriarchy and we have all the power. So they look at DEI and they're like, wait, they're way better than we are. We have to attack it. Plus the racists.

I mean. And yeah, and misogynist. And misogynist and homophobic and just mean. But it is interesting. Like, can you imagine the resume of Lloyd Austin, who was Biden's secretary of defense, versus Pete Hexeth? If you just looked at the resume, who would the DEI hire be? No question. No.

No question. I think it was Bob Woodward said that the star of the Biden administration, hands down, one of the most qualified people he interviewed that was just an amazing secretary was Lloyd Austin. And I believe it was Bob Woodward of Washington Post fame. But anyway, that's all we have for you guys. And we will see you all later. Please subscribe to our channel.
