Wow, Elon Musk and Donald Trump just held a disastrous press conference in the Oval Office. The purported purpose of this press conference was that Elon's time working for the government would now officially come to an end, but Donald Trump stated during this press conference that Elon is really not leaving. Also notable, Elon has a black eye, which was very noticeable during this disastrous

press conference. Listen to Trump say, Elon is not leaving during a press conference where Elon claims to be leaving. Play this clip. So they're not leaving. And Elon's really not leaving. He's going to be back and forth, I think. I have a feeling. It's his baby and I think he's going to be doing a lot of things. But Elon's service to America has been without comparison in modern histories already. So next, Elon is asked about his eye.

Here's what he says. Play this clip. I wanted to ask quickly, Mr. Musk, what is your eye? Okay, what happens here? It's your eye. I know this was a bruise thing. Well, it wasn't, uh, I wasn't anywhere near France. So, um, but, uh, I didn't notice it.

First lady of France. I didn't notice it. So, yeah, I was just horsing around with Lil X and I said, go ahead and punch me in the face and he did. Turns out even a five-year-old punching me in the face actually just... That was X that did? Yeah. X could do it.

If you knew X, you could do it. I did it as well right now. But I didn't notice it actually. Elon Musk spends his time during this press conference talking about the Oval Office being painted gold and how great it looks being painted gold. I've heard many people refer to it as the Predators Bordello. Play this clip. By the way, isn't this incredible? This incredible. I mean, it's stunning, I think, the way that

the Oval Office, the President has just completely redone the Oval Office. It's beautiful. I love the gold on the ceiling. Thank you. It's pretty nice. Yeah. It's been there a long time. That was plaster. Thank you. Pretty nice. Yeah. It's been there a long time. That was plaster. Nobody ever really saw it.

They didn't know the eagle was up there. We highlighted it. It's essentially it's a landmark, a great landmark, and that's 24 karat gold and everybody loved it. Now they all see it when they come in. So it's been, it's been good. The Oval Office has, you know, finally has the majesty that it deserves thanks to the president. So Donald Trump then lies and claims that eight million dollars was being spent on

transgender mice, which has been debunked repeatedly. Play this clip. He's been able to find it. Eight million dollars for making mice transgender. So they spent eight million dollars on making mice transgender. So they spend $8 million on making mice transgender. And those are better than many of theirs. I could sit here all day and read things just like that, but we have other things to do. So it's much. Elon Musk then says that he has a few more words that he wants to say. And then he says it's really not the end of Doge, but really the beginning. Play this clip. It's really not the end of Doge, but really the beginning. Play this clip.

A large lot. Well, let me say perhaps a few words that this is not the end of Doge, but really the beginning. My time as a special government employee necessarily had to end. It was a limited time thing. It's 134 days, I believe, which adds in a few days. So that comes with the time limit. And the Doge team will only grow stronger over time. The Doge influence will only grow stronger.

It's likened to a sort of Buddhism. It's like a way of life. So it is permeating throughout the government. And I'm confident that over time we'll see a trillion dollars of savings and a reduction in a trillion dollars of waste of food reduction. The calculations of the Doge team thus far in terms of an FYI 20. Elon Musk is asked about the failure of Doge, which claimed it was going to cut two trillion dollars in government spending and make two trillion in government cuts. Actually, federal spending is significantly higher now

under Donald Trump than it was in the same period under former President Biden. Also, based on Donald Trump's disastrous budget, the deficit is going to increase by trillions, making Doge the most unsuccessful government program in American history. Here, play this clip. Mr. Moller, on Doge, you said that there was a trillion dollar promise for cuts from Doge. Yes, I think we do expect over time to achieve a trillion dollars. But what have you found in your time here was the biggest roadblock to getting those cuts? Was it the cabinet or was it Congress or something else?

What was the biggest roadblock from your work? It's mostly just a lot of hard work. It's really not any one personal congress. It's going through really millions of line items and saying does each one of them make sense or does it not make sense? Obviously at times when you cut expenses, those who are receiving the money, whether they're receiving that money legitimately or not, they do complain. And you're not going to hear someone confessing that they received money inappropriately. Never. They're going to always say that they received money appropriately for an important cause, naturally. That's what you'd expect. But so we just got to, it's just a lot of

work. Donald Trump then says, as a result of the current condition, that he loves debt, basically, we need to extend the debt. We need to extend it. More debt. Extend the debt. Listen to him in his own words. Play this clip. I think it's going to be passed.

The Republicans want to pass it with all of the great things it does, including an extension of that. It's the extension. We have to extend the debt. If we don't extend that, we're in default. Now the Democrats might like our country to be in default, but in 250 years, we've never been in default. That was handed to them by a very well-meaning man

that gave it to them because he thought it was the right thing to do. It could have been their problem before the election, but this man thought it was the right thing to do, and it was well-meaning. I don't hold anything against him for that, but that was put on our plate when it should have been on the Democrats.

September 28th, a famous date. It should have been taken care of by the Democrats, but this person, a man of power, gave it to us so that in June that comes due. Well, we have to take care of that because... Elon Musk is asked about— Donald Trump, they're both asked about a report about Elon Musk being addicted to ketamine and mushrooms

and taking cocktails of drugs while he was running Doge and running our country into the ground. And then Elon Musk goes, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. Here, play this clip. Thank you, President Trump. The president mentioned that you had to deal with all the slings and arrows during your time at Doge. Some of the people, you know, some of the media repokizations in this room were the slingers.

Well so, there is a New York Times report today that accuses you of blurring the line between... Is the New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate? Is it the same organization? I gotta check my Pulitzer counter. I think it is. I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax and that they might have to give back that fluid surprise that New York Times let's move on

Next up Donald Trump and Elon Musk are asked if the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump are going to hurt companies like Tesla and then Donald Trump idiotically responds No, because everything's gonna be manufactured in America, all the parts, everything, so it's all going to be great. That's not going to happen. And we know that Donald Trump is a taco. Trump always chickens out, play this clip. I'm concerned that tariff may also affect companies

like Tesla, which has parts manufactured abroad. And this is also to you, Mr. Musk. Well, he's gonna end up building this whole car here. I mean, I thought he built his whole car. Pretty much he does. He's got incredible factories. And like I looked at one in Texas, it's unbelievable. I know all of the manufacturers

will build their parts here too. I mean, it used to bother me. They make a part in Canada, a part in Mexico, a part in Europe, and sent Mexico, a part in Europe, and sent all over the place, and nobody knew what the hell was happening. I think it's ridiculous. You build a car, make it in America.

And I gave them a little leeway on that, you know, gave them some leeway. But over the next year, they've got to have the whole thing built in America. That's what we want. We want Americans to buy American-built cars. Thank you very much, everybody. When was the last time that you truly trusted seafood you brought home?

Thanks to Wild Alaskan Company for sponsoring this episode. Donald Trump then says without tariffs our nation would be imperiled. Play this clip. Tariffs are so important and that's why we were so happy with the decision yesterday where the tariffs continue because without the tariffs our nation would be in peril.

We would really be in peril. I think I can say that with great charity, Scott and Howard. And so we were very happy to get that decision, that big decision yesterday. All right. Then if that's true, then why did you withdraw your tariffs against the world? If you think they're so great, if you think they're so true, then why did you withdraw your tariffs against the world? If you think they're so great, if you think they're so great, then why did you withdraw 145% tariffs on China and make them 30%? Tariffs are a absolute disaster.

They cause a great deal of harm and Trump always chickens out. Next, Donald Trump with Elon standing next to him plays news clips on a laptop. Play this clip. I've respected over the years from Joe Kiernan and Rick Santelli. This just came out and we'll just play that for a second. Personal income is up 8 tenths, up 8 tenths of a percent. That is almost triple the expectations. The income. You know, watching this, I don't know, I mean to take this seriously.

If you have an elderly person in your life who may suffer from dementia or someone, when they would be like, come here, Ben, I want to show you a video, I want to show you a video. I'm going to debunk that video in just a moment because actually the job, the income increase is actually caused by retroactive social security benefits caused by former President Biden. But we'll get into that in a moment. Donald Trump then says, Elon's service has been the greatest thing in America. Play this clip. Many of the Doge people, Elon, are staying behind too, so they're not leaving. And Elon's really not leaving.

He's going to be back and forth. I think I have a feeling it's it's his baby and I think he's going to be doing a lot of things. But Elon's service to America has been without comparison in modern history. More of Donald Trump attacking Harvard University and saying he wants to take Harvard's money and put it into trade schools or Donald, you can do what former President Biden did, which was invest in trade schools and invest in research institutes. It's not a zero sum game that you have to destroy America's top universities. And also you're not helping trade schools either. You're actually destroying them and running them into the ground to play this clip. Every three days we find another hundred million dollars

that was given. Last two days ago, we found $200 million more. The money is given to them like gravy. I'd like to see the money go to trade schools, where people learn how to fix motors and engines, where people learn how to build rocket ships. Because, you know, somebody has to build those rocket ships. And I'd like to see trade schools set up, because you could take 5 billion

plus hundreds of billions more, which is what's spent. And you can have the greatest trade school system anywhere in the world. And that's what we need to build his rockets and robots and things that he's Elon Musk whining about judges, play the clip. I think the fundamental moral flaw of the left is empathy for the criminals and not empathy for the victims. Empathy for the criminals, but not empathy for the victims. And there's been way too much of that. That needs to stop. To the president's point, there's been immense judicial overreach that is unconstitutional.

That was never intended. And it's undermining the people's faith in the legal system. It needs to stop. It's gone too far. Mr. Mueller. Donald Trump then gives Elon Musk this weird key. Here, you can see this, play this clip. A little special something we have here.

Thank you. A very special that I give to very special people. I have given it to some, but they go to very special people. I have given it to some, but it goes to very special people. And I thought I'd give it to Elon as a presentation from our country. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Take care. Thank you. That's a good lot. A lot of this is amazing.

Thanks a lot. Well, let me say about Elon's black eye for a second. I don't know if it's related to this, but the Daily Mail was reporting that Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Besson got into a physical altercation recently, and Caroline Levitt from the White House did not deny that a physical alteration took place. Apparently Treasury Secretary Scott Besson confronted Elon Musk about not making any cuts and actually adding debt and then apparently Elon Musk pushed him and a fight broke out. So I'm not sure if that's what caused the black eye. I hear many people are

calling it a D.E. black eye, I guess. Or something like that. Also, Elon Musk took Stephen Miller's wife to work with him. As Raw Story reports, rumor swirl as Stephen Miller's wife leaves the White House to work for Elon Musk. Hard to surprise me anymore, but a somewhat credible rumor of a thruple between Stephen Miller, his wife, and Elon Musk has really thrown me for a loop. We're seeing memes like this, Stephen Miller watching his wife go to work for Elon, the cut chair, rumor swirl as Stephen Miller's wife leaves the White House to work for Elon, the cuck chair, rumors swirl as Stephen Miller's wife leaves the White House to work for Elon Musk, Rick Wilson posted that.

Even the Democrat account posted a photo of a cuck chair. I'm apparently learning what that, I wasn't sure what that meant, but okay, that's a cuck chair. And Donald Trump is then asked about, is Putin a good guy or a bad guy here, play this clip. Do you look at this and see Putin as the good guy or a bad guy here play this clip. Do you look at this and see Putin as

the good guy or the bad guy? So I've known him very well and I went through a lot of things with him because Russia was you know the Russia Russia Russia hoax turned out to be a total hoax. New York Times they got a Pulitzer Prize they have to give back the Pulitzer Prize that's my lawsuit and they're doing very poorly in that lawsuit but But, you know, they wrote stories about how it was true and it was false. And, you know, a lot of Washington Post also. I have gotten to see things that I was very surprised that rockets being shot into cities like Kiev during a negotiation that I felt was maybe very close to ending. We were gonna solve a problem,

and then all of a sudden rockets got shot into a couple of cities and people died. I saw things that I was surprised at, so, and I don't like being surprised. So I'm very disappointed in that way. With that being said, I'd like to see then 5,000 people, I think the numbers have even more than that, but 5,000 people a week are being killed.

Mostly soldiers, but also people that live in little cities and towns throughout Ukraine. And I'd like to see that stop. There you have it folks, Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
