The Adam Mockler Show - Elon’s Biggest Enemy Starts MAJOR TRUMP FIGHT

Starting point is 00:00:00 Wendy's most important deal of the day has a fresh lineup. Pick any two breakfast items for $4. New four-piece French toast sticks, bacon or sausage wrap, biscuit or English muffin sandwiches, small hot coffee, and more. Limited time only at participating Wendy's taxes extra. I'm going to punch you in your effing face. Not you guys, but that is what the United States Treasury Secretary appointed by Donald Trump said at a private meeting just last week. I also want to point out the same man, Scott Besant, as the person who Elon Musk got into a shouting match with and apparently shoulder checked in the hallway a few months back when Elon Musk was high off of his ketamine-fueled doge rampage. And I guess Scott Besant is just being Scott Besant.

Starting point is 00:00:47 And I find it surprising because if you listen to interviews with Besant, he's oftentimes pretty reserved or shy or doesn't really like speak in a projected tone. but he's always getting in fights with people across Washington in the White House. This one that I'm about to talk about happened at the executive branch. And I'm not talking about the executive branch of the government, like the president's branch. I'm talking about a new private club founded by Donald Trump to rake in money off of people who want to feel executive. Before I dig into this story, Donald Trump was just speaking moments ago at the White House Religious Liberty Commission. During this, he praised the January 6thers. He said he saved Los Angeles, but there is a key moment where he begins to talk about crime in D.C. dropping.

Starting point is 00:01:36 Now, he's straight up just lying. He claims that crime is non-existent. He even tells a story about a friend who hasn't been able to go to get dinner in five years, but now he's getting dinner every night in D.C. Clearly a lie. Crime has been dropping, and any crime that does exist can be taken care of with local coordination, with law enforcement, mobilizing the men. military, a military occupation that drops restaurant visits 40% if you look at the actual stats,

Starting point is 00:02:03 because no one wants to go outside. That is not a long-term fix to crime. You know what's funny, when Trump brags about assaults going down, it feels like the main assaults that are happening are in the White House. Your own Treasury Secretary, our Treasury Secretary, unfortunately, because he represents the United States at this point, he keeps shoulder-checking and threatening to punch people. Listen to this clip of Trump. No, it's more than 87 percent, virtually nothing, and much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, this was a crime, see?

Starting point is 00:02:42 So now I can't claim 100 percent. But we are a safe city. You can walk to a restaurant. You can walk to the White House if you work there. You can walk to the Capitol. And even the Democrats say, I can't believe it, but they don't want to admit it. but I can't believe it. We could do the same thing in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles.

Starting point is 00:02:59 We did it. We saved Los Angeles. Wow, there's nothing like the Religious Liberty Commission clapping at the idea of Donald Trump mobilizing the military into my city of Chicago, or Illinois in general, or in other states against the explicit will of the governor, the officials, and the people living in that state. Very Christian of you all.

Starting point is 00:03:21 In this next clip, Donald Trump begins to blame Joe Biden. Biden and, you know, talks about how great January 6thers are. In the Oval Office, there was stone cold, me. But Joe Biden and the Biden, they were mean people. What they did to people, what they did to J6, what they did to so many people, they were mean people. These were really radical, horrible people. And he was in the Oval Office. Yeah, so crime is dropping in D.C. apparently, except all of the January 6thers that beat up cops and broke windows.

Starting point is 00:03:54 and actually killed people in D.C. while trying to interrupt the peaceful transfer of power. They should all be part in because they are great people. But apparently Joe Biden was a criminal. Like, it's all so backwards. And can I just remind you guys that only a few months ago, Elon Musk was running around the White House on ketamine. If you want to talk about crimes,

Starting point is 00:04:14 how many times do you think Elon Musk smuggled drugs into D.C.? If he was flying around to other countries with this, you know, bin of drugs as reported, or it wasn't a bin, it was a tray, right? A tray of drugs. Then how many times did he bring this into Washington? Can we arrest the drug smuggling immigrant Elon Musk? Sorry, that's obviously inflammatory, but like, dude, Elon Musk commits so many crimes,

Starting point is 00:04:36 but because he's the richest man in the world, you can get away with it. Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant got into a heated shouting match in earsat of President Trump and other officials. This happened a few months ago, and I just wanted to use that as sort of a pretext to show you all that Scott Bessent is repeatedly getting in fights. This is not the first time or only time this has happened thus far. The Treasury Secretary's quiet tensions with housing finance chief Bill Pult exploded at a private dinner.

Starting point is 00:05:04 A private dinner attended by dozens of administration officials and close advisors to President Trump was temporarily marred by a dramatic clash between two of Trump's top economic officials, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at one point threatening to punch top housing finance official Bill Pult, quote, in the effing face. I'm sorry, can we go back

Starting point is 00:05:26 to the woke administration, according to MAGA? Can we go back to the administration full of people who weren't always fighting and who were actually pushing towards normal solutions in Ukraine,

Starting point is 00:05:38 better solutions in Gaza? Not perfect. I would never claim perfect, but this administration is so childish that we have one person, Steve Whitkoff, who is an infant on his own, trying to negotiate deals with multiple countries that are falling through.

Starting point is 00:05:53 Terrible frameworks for Gaza and terrible frameworks for Ukraine that disproportionately benefit the invader, right? Now, while that's happening, Elon Musk is running around, getting in a fights, taking ketamine, and our Treasury Secretary, a position that is supposed to be respected, is getting in fights at a dinner. But just listen to this next paragraph. The Wednesday evening was supposed to be one of celebration.

Starting point is 00:06:18 It was the much-anticipated inaugural dinner at Executive Branch, the ultra-exclusive Georgetown Club created by and for Trump World's Uber Rich and a birthday party for MAGA-friendly podcaster Shemath, who hosts the All-In podcast, which I kind of like, I wouldn't say I hate listen to it, but there's a lot of podcasts I listen to from like right-wing sort of Trump-aligned people, and I just like to sit there, get enraged at what they say, and then break down their arguments and bring it to you guys.

Starting point is 00:06:50 That's part of the way I stay informed on what's going on, is I just listen to what these people are saying. And the point that I'm making is, they're all saying how Trump is creating this exclusive branch. It's like he's creating a deep state of his own. He claimed that he was going to drain the swamp, but all he did was give the swamp a new name, and it's called the executive branch.

Starting point is 00:07:10 It's ultra-exclusive. You have to be incredibly rich, and just listen to this. A long table for 30-some guests was set with top of the line, crystal in China. You see Sean Duffy, our transportation secretary. Like, please just bring back Pete Buttigieg. Bring back the old administration. Bring back the sleepy-headed, steady-handed Joe Biden that actually had solutions. Wasn't getting in fights. We had Doug Bergum was there. Howard

Starting point is 00:07:35 Nutlick was there. Kelly Loeffler, Tulsi Gabbard, Dr. Oz, David Sachs, and Shamath. Amid the cocktail hour din, Bessett lashed out at Pult, an expletive laden diatribe, the Treasury Secretary had heard from several people that the federal housing finance agency director had been bad-mouthing him to trump a person close to him said. He wasn't about to engage in chit-chat as if nothing was amiss. Quote, why the F are you talking to the president about me? F you, Besson told Pult. I'm going to punch you in your effing face. The scene was described to me by one eyewitness and four other people familiar with what happened. The only fact they disagreed on was whether it was Bessent or Pult who initiated the conversation.

Starting point is 00:08:18 So nobody knew who actually initiated. They and others who described the conflict were granted anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation. Polt appeared stunned, and the tense encounter prompted club co-owner and financier Omid Malik to intervene, according to three people. Yeah, so the adult in the room, if you even want to say that, I had to step in and take care of the children. The children are just Trump admin officials who are dealing with the treasury of the United States.

Starting point is 00:08:42 Quote, it's either me or him, Besson said to Malik. You tell me who's getting the F out of here. or he added we could go outside to do what asked pult to talk no besant replied i'm going to beat your effing ass a lot of this makes sense when you look up besson's history a brief summary of besant shows that before this he was a hedge fund manager a hedge fund manager who served at soros fund management and founded key square group beyond the soros of it all i don't really care about that but he was probably used to a high-intensity trading hedge fund type environment or investing environment. And that's a little bit different than working in the government. I mean, a lot of these environments can be

Starting point is 00:09:29 toxicly masculine. And in these trading environments, people can get riled up. I feel like he's trying to translate that into the government. Seeking to de-escalate the situation, Malik separated the men, walking Bessent to another part of the club to calm down. During the seated dinner, Bessent and Palt were placed on opposite ends of the table, and the party went off without further episodes. So, yeah, separate the children. Separate the children. You know, while covering this,

Starting point is 00:09:56 I think it would be irresponsible for me not to end off by talking about the actual issues that these people are currently ignoring. I mean, this article popped up in my feed recently. Americans faced biggest increase in health insurance costs in 15 years. So while Donald Trump has his exclusive executive club called the executive club, the executive branch, whatever the hell it's called.

Starting point is 00:10:19 Healthcare costs are increasing, inflation is rising, tariffs are hurting small businesses, middle-sized businesses, and large corporations alike. The large corporations are able to pass the cost down to consumer, but small businesses can't do that forever, and consumers will continue to suffer as Liberation Day tariffs smack the supply chains. Keep in mind, Liberation Day tariffs only took effect on August 7th, which was almost exactly a month ago. a lot of people think they took effect back in April when they were announced, but no, Trump kept

Starting point is 00:10:46 delaying, delaying, delaying, and now they have taken effect. The entire point is, wars are raging, prices are going up, and we have fights going on in the White House. I'm going to leave it there. I appreciate you all. Subscribe to the Adam Aumacher feed.
