Starting point is 00:00:00 We have some major breaking news. Donald Trump has officially responded to his largest donor, Elon Musk, starting a new political party that seems intentionally designed at undermining Trump's current coalition of tech bros, of billionaire donors that Elon Musk has access to, and other people that Elon wants to strategically pull out of MAGA. Well, while Trump was leaving his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course today, as a disaster, A catastrophic flood continues in Texas, and dozens are missing. As he was standing on the tarmac in Morristown, New Jersey, he sort of screams about Elon Musk.
Starting point is 00:00:38 He is not happy whatsoever. I want to go through all of this, but let's just start here. This is the main post that most likely has Donald Trump mad and a bit scared. Elon Musk said on June 30th, so about a week ago, he said, every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame. And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this earth. That is Elon Musk promising to tear apart the Republican coalition and primary Republicans on mass. Now, here's where it gets
Starting point is 00:01:14 more interesting. Elon Musk yesterday on July 5th announces he is officially starting the America Party. Over the past 24 hours, he has sent a barrage of posts laying out his vision for this new tech-driven party. And I want to point out, Elon Musk is leveraging the same mechanism that he used to elect Trump to now help his own political party. That mechanism would be his vast wealth, which he can tap into, and the attention that he gets on Twitter when he pulls hundreds of millions of views, or X, whatever you want to call it. When Elon Musk posts 90 to 100 to 200 posts every single day, absolutely millions and millions of people are paying attention and now understand what the America Party is. There was even a troll in my comment section
Starting point is 00:02:00 earlier saying, you don't understand. Who are you to talk badly about the richest man on the planet? You're nobody. And I may not be as rich as Elon Musk, but I do actually have a fundamental understanding of how politics works. By the way, make sure you drop a like on this video. And regularly, YouTube shows a lot more right-wing content in its algorithm, so we are trying to build something that can push back. Make sure you subscribe to the Adam Knockler feet below to join the movement. But Elon Musk has been posting hundreds of tweets. He retweeted Fox News not long ago. Fox News said, former Doge chief Elon Musk says he's launching the third party, quote, America Party after President Trump signs historic spending bill that he vocally opposed. Elon retweets something
Starting point is 00:02:41 that says how Elon could break the two-party stranglehold. Launching a new party means building a platform, registering with the FEC, winning ballot access state-by-state and recruiting candidates, It's all while dodging lawsuits. Elon said, Not Hard, TBH. He is just posting about it over and over and over, really trying to sell his Twitter audience on this vision. But I'm going to make the prediction right now, this party won't exist in three to six months.
Starting point is 00:03:06 This party is an absolute joke. He said, when and where should we hold the inaugural American Party Congress? This would be super fun. Dude, you're making your decisions based off of Twitter bots. Literally Twitter bots are making decisions for Elon Musk. I bet you Iran and Russia are responding to this more than actual American citizens are. This brings me on to what Donald Trump said today. Let's start off with his true social posts, and we'll play the clips of him on the tarmac.
Starting point is 00:03:32 He said, I am sadden to watch Elon Musk go completely off the rails, essentially becoming a train wreck over the past five weeks. Ooh, what a slippery little spin. Elon Musk has not been a train wreck over the past five weeks. He's been a train wreck for years. It's been getting worse and worse and worse due to his drug addiction, which, you know, I don't blame it for. I mean, I know people that are addicted to drugs. It's hard for sure.
Starting point is 00:03:55 But Elon Musk, who was addicted to drugs, should not be walking around the White House, cutting deals, and helping his own company. And Donald Trump, when he says right here, Elon Musk has become a train wreck over the past five weeks, it's because he's kind of backed into a corner now. Either Trump says that Elon Musk is a crazy person, and he's not in the Epstein files. And then that basically undermines all of the work Doge has done. And it makes you ask, so you let a crazy person. in the White House, or Trump says that Elon Musk is completely sound of mind, which means that
Starting point is 00:04:25 he is in the Epstein files. Trump is in the Epstein files because that's what Elon said. So he says, he even wants to start a third political party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States. Keep in mind, Donald Trump ran as a third party candidate in I believe 2000. Trump says the system seems not designed for them. The one thing third parties are good for is the creation of complete and total disruption and chaos, and we have enough of that with the radical left Democrats who have lost their confidence and their minds. Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running machine that just passed the biggest bill of its kind in the history of our country. It is a great bill, but unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous
Starting point is 00:05:04 electric vehicle mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy electric cars in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning. People are now allowed to buy whatever they want, gasoline-powered, hybrids, which are doing very well, or new technology. as they come about. No more EV mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years. And quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total unquestioned endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV mandate. It was in every speech I made and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problems with that. I was very surprised. Additionally, Elon asked that one of his close friends run NASA. And while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that
Starting point is 00:05:45 he was a blue-blooded Democrat who had never contributed to a Republican before. Elon probably was also. I thought it was inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon who was in the space business run NASA when NASA is such a big part of Elon's corporate life. Oh, Trump was just worried about corruption. That's totally, that's totally normal. He then says, my number one charge is to the American, is to protect the American public. Okay. A lot to dissect there. And let me just give a high level overview. I don't think Elon is that mad about the electric vehicle mandate because, of course, he did know. But Elon, according to all reports, is furious. about astronaut Jared Isaacman being removed from the NASA role.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Elon Musk lobbied his ass off to get Isaacman in that position, and Trump slashed it last minute out of a petty, retaliatory feud that he had with something Elon Musk did, and that is what the catalyst has been for this entire downfall. This entire blow-up is because Elon Musk was mad that Trump didn't allow him corruption. But number two, did this not raise any red flags to Donald Trump? He describes here a situation where he was asking Elon over and over, hey, you know I don't actually have any plans for you in particular. Like, you know I don't like the EV mandate.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Actually, it's going to hurt you. And Elon kept going, no, no, no, don't worry. I will keep bankrolling you. Is that not raise any questions for Donald Trump? Is it not raise any questions to openly say that? That means Elon Musk was expecting more favors, bigger favors, like appointing his best friend as the head of NASA. Let's watch Donald Trump on the tarmac outside Morristown, New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:07:20 talking about this exact thing. Starting a third party. I think it's ridiculous to start a third party. We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a two-party system. And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked.
Starting point is 00:07:45 So he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous. Honestly, when Trump said, Elon Musk can have fun with it, it seems like that is the most likely outcome. Elon Musk is going to play games for four months on his Twitter account. He's going to spend a lot of money and then realize that all 50 states operate as a patchwork where each different state has a different way to get ballot access. You have to get 80,000 signatures in Texas, for example, and you have to get even more signatures in other states.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Elon Musk doesn't have the on-the-ground support because you can't have Iranian and Russian bots signing signatures. you can have them reply to your tweets, right? Here's Donald Trump being asked about tariffs and just notice how incoherent his answer is. He says the word tariffs like four times randomly. President, do the tariff rates change at all on July 9th or do they change on August 1st?
Starting point is 00:08:36 What are you talking about? Tariff rates. Do they change on July 9th or August 1st? They're going to be tariffs. The tariffs are going to be the tariffs. I think we'll have most countries done. What did he just say? I think they're tariffs, tariffs.
Starting point is 00:08:48 They're going to be the tariffs. be the tariffs. I think we'll have most countries done by July 9th, yeah. Either a letter or a deal. But they did, but they go into effect on August 1st. Tariffs go into effect August 1st. Howard Nuttlick has to hop in and actually try to clarify the absolutely incoherent tariff policy for the first time. I'm going to leave it there. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are continuing to escalate this feud in what seemed to be a Twitter feud a few weeks ago, right? It would seem to be Elon Musk just having a manic episode could be a new chapter in the Republican Party having an enemy. Now, I don't think the America Party will ever be a big player. I hope it's not. I don't
Starting point is 00:09:29 think it should. Elon Musk is incredibly, incredibly corrupt. And I don't think billionaire oligarch should be able to fund their own party out of thin air. But a third party isn't inherently bad. It's just Elon Musk's party is directly aimed at undermining Donald Trump. And that's what we're going to see play out over the next few months.
