Speaker 1 (00:00):
At the AOC Bernie rally on Friday, about two hundred
devices were detected, not thirty thousand or thirty four thousand
as claimed by others. What's really interesting is eighty four
percent of those devices had been to nine or more
of the Kamala blm Antifa, pro Palcine, pro Hamas rallies.
(00:23):
Even more telling, thirty one percent had been to twenty
more or more of those rallies.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, yes, and let's talk about that, because I was
fascinated by the Bernie AOC rally. Now when I first
heard the numbers.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
First off, I'm sorry, what, who the hell are you?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm the new guy. I'm the new guy.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, do you mind introducing yourself?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
My name's John Caldera. And if the guy that was
here Friday was probably in a drunken stupor, so I
got sobered up when to rehabit. I'm back and i'm
and i'm and I'm good to go today. I even
got a new high tech they they did neither a
(01:11):
crown nor a root canal.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Okay, what did they do?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I sat in the chair for three hours while they
touched around and did this and did that, and no,
they so so I go in and uh, you know,
I'm I'm prepared for the worst, like uh, you know
what rugas sends you, the into the into knowledge, is
into whatever it is. The root canal the guy and
(01:42):
they look at the X rays. They decided they want
to do one more X ray, look at one more thing.
So I got to wait and do that. You know,
so I've been inundate of radiation, so I got you know,
I got a third leg growing out now, So uh,
that's not because I needed I needed a third leg.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Your forehead, that's weird.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But you know, when I fall asleep during this program,
like most of the listeners do, it catches me before
I hit the console. So that third leg's pretty good,
and they so it is. It was a apparently at
like five six years ago, I had a slight chip
on that tooth and that restoration. I had bitten down
(02:23):
on something and it caused it to dislodge, which then
the next time I bit down on that tooth caused
a slight crack.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So the.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It sounds funny to say this way, but when they
when they looked at it, because the root was fine
and every everything, everything was fighting the enamel. Everything's good.
On the tooth. They're like, we don't want to We
don't want to put a crown in there, because if
we put a crowd in there, we have to scrape
all this good enamel off, you know, to make room
for the crown. So we don't want to do that.
And there's no reason to do a root canal because
(02:56):
it's a perfectly healthy tooth. So we're not going to
do any of that. But there's a there's new technology.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Ooh, your experiment, And of course.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You know, I love I love technology, and I'm like,
really new technology, Tell me about it. And they said, well,
it's this new and the best. They don't they had
to throw yeah, basically a new kind of super glue.
But he's trying. But you know, and don't get me wrong,
I love Avery's He's I think he's the best business
(03:25):
in the world. I've been going to him for twenty years.
And his name's Lopez, so I always make I always
joke about him being a illegal alien, that he know
he moved here illegally. He's from Grand Junction, he was
born in Grand Junction. He can't speak Spanish, he doesn't
speak any Spanish at all, but he's Lopez. So I
make fun of him for being an illegal alien, and like,
(03:45):
can I really see your license?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Look at this license. It looks to me like you
photocopied it. And why did I have somebody else's name? Anyway,
we have we have a good time together. But he's
he's describing to me the best way I can describe
it is it's a new epoxy, and of course he's
interlocking his fingers like it has these fibers that interlock
in it, it adheres to the inside of the tooth.
It's just it's wonderful, you know. And I'm like, okay,
(04:09):
have you done this before? Like, have you done it before?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Am I patient number one?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
If my patient number one? And he said, no, no,
you're not patient number one except for me. You're my
first one I get to do this with. But it's
so so you describe me all this stuff and it
sounds wonderful, except then he says, but I have to
no other way to say this. I have to widen
(04:35):
your crack. Of course, I look at him, like, what
I want my toothworked on? My quack's just like he's
a wife to widen your crack. So so now it's like,
you know, they put the numbing stuff in and then
(04:57):
they you know, they came back to.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
With a you know, like a laws of life, the
jaws of life. To I mean, it's just horrific.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't know what kind of torturous device that is
that at the same time pushes your cheek out, suppresses
your tongue where you can't move your tongue, and then
locks your jaw into place where you can't do anything.
And then they come out with these hypodermic needles that
are about the size of a plunger and go plunging
all this stuff into dead in your mouth, and then
pretty soon you know, you you can't feel anything. And
(05:30):
then they start to drill, and because the enamel of
my teeth are so hard, they're they're they're literally trying
to make the crack worse so they can make the
crack better.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Right, it sounds about right, And your instruction stuff, that's
kind of what you need to do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You gotta take you know, you have to you have
to do the what the what they tell the when
you do the demolition, they gotta they gotta demolish it
so they can rebuild it. Right, So I'm saying there,
and there's nothing worse than the smell of your teeth
being drilled. It's like it's not burning flesh.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But it's it's a bad smoke. Yes, it's just not pleasant.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And of course this is you know, this is not
this is something they've squeezed me into the schedules. They
can get it done. So that means, you know, he
drills for a while, then he has to go see
a patient and he has to come back. And so
I'm in this chair for like like half a day,
it seems like, and they they widen my crack, which
(06:34):
is the phrase I have launched onto. And and once
they widen the crack, then they come at you again
with some sort of thing that now they start putting
all this stuff in, but they have to put the
stuff in. Let that seal. And they put some more
stuff in and let that seal, and put some more
stuff in, let that seal. And then when they all
when they get done, they start removing all the crap
(06:56):
out of your mouth, and you realize you can't feel anything,
and you're scared to talk. I'm starving to death, but
I don't want to eat. I don't want to go
clamp down on my cheek or my lips. So I
I keep doing this dragon, I keep dragging my cheek
(07:19):
and you know, cracks cheek. You can figure out which
one and and I'll pull it out because I think
it's like between my teeth, and sure enough it is.
I can feel it coming out from between my teeth.
So anyway, that that was my Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It was it was wonderful, sounds exhilarating, It was exhilarating.
But he's it's it's amazing what he can do. He's
such a he's such a good demos. I'm glad I
got I'm glad I got to and we had fun
with cal Dara. We talked about the teacher's protest, and
then we did World Down Syndrome Day, talked with his
son Chance, which was absolutely fantastic, A lot of love
(07:56):
for that. And then we did such a Good Kid
Opens Record Open Records Act here in Colorado with some
of the teacher's stuff, and then of course I hosted
the Textpayer Relief Shots.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yes, which according to the text messages between you and Caldera,
Friday's show was just awful, just awful, and there's nothing
more wonderful than knowing how much your your goobers love you.
So you you, you know, you're sitting around the house,
there's not really a lot to do. You're hoping that
you can eat something by dinner time. And so you
(08:31):
go on to the text line and you start reading
all the text messages and pretty soon you're scrolling and
you're scrolling and you're scrolling, and pretty soon f bombs
start coming out, you know, and just if.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You from you, not the text line from you, The
f bombs are coming from you, not from me.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
About the text line, right, yeah, because everybody, because everybody
knows that I'm reading it. So what are they doing? Oh?
They they're singing your praises Old Caldera. Now I'm glad
Chance was on me because I love Chance. He's a
good he was great and you know, and I hate,
I really hate to admit this, but John really is
a great father. He's a really good father. More than that,
(09:12):
he's a piece of crap.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Just to tell a piece of crap, as we have
seen him throw on the Capitol steps.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yes, exactly. So I'm back, glad to be back. Yes,
I did wake up to this text message this morning
from goober number zero three five zero. Mike loved listening
to you. So there.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I'm not sure if that was meant for you. I mean,
it could have been delayed from the podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well it's from yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Well even still, they could have been listening to the
podcast and then left that text message.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh oh okay, all right whatever. Oh given number forty
three sixty six though, went to Michael says, go here
dot com looking for the department of ed stuff that
I quoted. I don't see your stock of stuff? Would
you point me in the right direction? Yeah, it's right here.
Try here to my right, and it's right here on
my laptop.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And if it's if it's anything he talks about on
the Weekend with Michael Brown that I am not a
part of. It ain't gonna get posted, and Michael says,
go here dot com. Yeah, it's barely even gonna get
made to the podcast. Wait, somebody else is doing the
podcast of the weekend. Never mind the podcast of the weekend.
It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, the podcast on the weekend is now fine. In fact,
I shouldn't hear I shouldn't have any complaints about the
Weekend podcast because I've now shifted that out to Los
Angeles too, so I'm no longer doing that, and which
is really I can't believe what a difference it makes,
because when I would finish on Saturday, you know, i'd
finish at one o'clock and i'd you know, pack up
and leave the building and after rearranging the stuff that
(10:36):
people tell you not to rearrange. By the way, do
you see my Instagram account?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
No, I don't look at your Instagram account. Why would
I do that, because barely even want to look at
you here now.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Because oh, I don't have it with me. So I
walk into the production studio and it's and it's place
right where I can't miss. It's like someone put it
there because they knew I would use it, not use it,
but I would see it. I didn't. I didn't open
it up. June nineteen eighty five in the wrapper Playboy Magazine. Now,
(11:10):
somebody on the third floor, somewhere in this building, somebody decided, Sam,
I'm just digging out. You know, somebody must have gotten fired.
Somebody got fired Friday. They were digging through their desk
was cleaned out. Yea, yeah, they're cleaning through their desk
and they find a June, and because I had to
do it. First of all, I wanted to open it up,
but it's not worth that much on EBA. I could
(11:31):
probably get like five bucks for it or something. I
was hoping like five thousand dollars. But I still didn't
open it. But I had to look closely, like is
this really? Then I had to do the calculation see
nineteen eighty five to see fifteen gets me to two thousand.
So fifteen plus twenty five is forty.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's forty freaking years old.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And it's in pristine condition. I really truly do want
to see what she looks like. Brigitte I think was
the name of the playmate. I'm not really sure. Anyway,
I don't know at Michael D. Brown on Instagram. So
that's that was my big Instagram post. So I normally
what I do on Saturday is I leave and I
go home and and I you know, that's really this,
(12:12):
that's not that's that's the second start of my weekend.
Except in the past I had to sit and wait
for Los Angeles to send me the MP three's so
I could then upload them speaker. But that's now all
done in Los Angeles, so that there should be no
complaints about spots in the middle of a word or
(12:33):
in the middle of a sentence or anything else, because
now the Michael, not not this Michael, but that Michael
now takes care of it. And I'm so now when
I leave here, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Just like, even better when the weekend gets replayed here
on six point thirty K HOW last night. Yes, the
pegs joiners have been removed.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, you know what's funny. But so here's the here's
the problem. So I forget One of you goobers sent
me a note that said, I think it maybe it
been Janis in Boston.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Sent me a text message that said, Hey, as long
as we're doing the you know, the fascist show complaining
about stuff at work, she says, you should know that
when khow replays Your Freedom, the nationally syndicated program on
Sunday evenings, Uh, the intros are Joe.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Bags, Joe Bags, welcome back to my show.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So I fire off an email to my program director
in LA and he's like, I can't some of these affiliates.
I cannot believe how horrible they are about taking care
of stuff. Find out who it is. I'm going to
read on the Riot Act. So I found out who
it was. Oh, it's this station, which pretty much sums
(13:54):
up right.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So I went into the system, clicked a few buttons
and made sure that those are kind of air. How
long have I been doing that? Almost three years, man,
something like that. Yeah, almost three years now, and it's
still PAGs. Doesn't get me wrong, I love bags, but
it's like, hey, bags, we can't exactly fault our imaging
guy either, because our imaging guy he's one guy that
(14:20):
does all the stations in the building who is also
a sports producer, who he's got to deal with all that.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Right, So the imagy guy that like imaging is like
at the bottom of the pile.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, yeah, especially for us. We're because you and I
are at the bottom of the pile.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, at least we know our place. True, we know
our place, which quite frankly, in this business, that's a
good place to be. Nobody cares other than I thought
it was funny when I put in my request for
a sick day, the first sick day I've taken him, Like,
I don't know, at least five years your back surgery,
(14:58):
my back surge, that's been at least three years ago
or longer, and so I I two days in advance.
I think on a Wednesday. I think I put in
for the Friday and said, you know, dental procedure, and
it was like I had asked for from the move
Heaven and Earth.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It's like, guys, well, it was your fault for getting
that done during March madness.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's and that's exactly how it was. You know how
you when you read a text message, you read it
with your state of mind, right, yeah, so not the
state of mind that the person who has written the
text message to you. So for example, when uh goob
and every ninety seven ninety eight writes Michael, welcome back
exclamation point Alexa, I read that with excitement and she's
(15:49):
happy that I'm back and everything else, when in fact,
when she wrote that, it was like Michael, welcome back,
it was total disdain.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So this so I.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Read the text message that I got back about how
short staffed we are and how we have a difficult
time finding fill ins. I read it with, well, what
if I'd had a heart attack, would you have sent
the same? Hey, it's March mad what are you doing
having a heart attack in the middle of March madness.
(16:21):
What are you doing having a heart attack? We've already
used up all the filly ins we have. What are
you doing having a heart attack when you know you
have five thousand hours of sick leaven you haven't taken
in three years? What are you doing asking for it? Now?
That's the way I read it, But it was basically
on the other side, Hey, I'm kind of busy right now.
I don't have time to mess with your stupidental procedure.
And of course my point was I didn't care because
(16:45):
I was going to get it done and what happens
here when I'm gone?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Didn't know, didn't care, didn't no, didn't care.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
All I know is, in fact, it was funny because
that request for time off did not get a pro
proved until way after the time off had expired.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You were in the chair and it's like, oh approved, Okay, No,
it was even then it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Was mutt No, it was like like Friday nights sometimes approved.
Because I had I had tempted. I was really tempted
just to see what Tepper would do. I was really
tempted to see to go back into work day to
see if there was a way to rescind the request
for time off because it not that I need the
not that I need the sick days, because I've got
the maximum amount, so now I can get back after
(17:30):
the maximum amount after this month.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I think just for see, anytime Temper gets a text
message from you, he just just a face palm and
just goes ugh.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I know, because and that's the way I like it,
because that means he never hears from us. He doesn't
hear from us, I don't hear from him. A perfect relationship.
It's a wonderful marriage. It's like, you know, just separate.
But it is good to be back, man, how much?
(18:00):
With much rather than doing this than doing that. Anytime
anytime that somebody says we have to widen your crack,
you know that it's not gonna be a good day.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
They get more cookies for whiting.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
No, but you know what they did leave. They have
a little toy box up front, and the toy boxes
for kids to.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Get into a little space with the courder ring.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well they told me, they said, hey, there's some toys
in there for you, So I thought, really, so I opened.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
The toy box. There was a.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Mini bottle of vodka and a mini bottle of takeeter.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Seriously, Yes, serious, Wow, Yeah, they loved me there, they
loved me, just like these ubers love me, Julie, you
don't think so, dreg. And not only did you do
a fantastic job on Friday, your bumper music selection was
spot on well done. It's a gift.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You two want to get a room.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I'm there's no love for you around here.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I don't care. I'm just gonna. I'm a soldier on
with Mike wide open crack, just soldier right on today.
The Tesla takeover has become such an integral part of
our society that even on CNN's attempt to have a
(19:25):
late night comedy show, I guess since Greg Guttfeld is
killing everybody in the ratings, is the number one late
night show on a cable channel, Fox News, and all
the Libs are beginning to suck eggs and suck air.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
What is Elon Musk doing to make this whole constitutional
crisis more efficient? CNN Caitlan Collins on what Elon has
been up to.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
The New York Times is reporting tonight that Elon Musk
is now donating the maximum that is allowed by law
to the campaigns of all these publican members that you
see here on screen of Congress of expressed support for
judicial impeachments.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
When do we riot? I know what, Well, here's what
I've been doing.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I've been going around to random Tesla dealers and just
lighting cars on fire. I just realized, here's a good
chance I'll get arrested for saying that I was lighting
cars on fire.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
That's real.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I didn't do that, and I wouldn't do that the
next segment and doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We'll be right there.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Are you sure this wasn't ESNL, because that's that's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's very bad. No, that's seeing the CNN Late Night
Comedy Show panel. Yeah, that's very bad. Uh. Elon had
something to say about it.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
If you read the news, it feels like, you know, imageddon,
Like I get we'll pass the TV without seeing a
Tesla on fire, Like what's going on? You know some
people that's like, listen, I understand if you don't want
buy our product, but you don't have to burn it down.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
That's not about unreasonable, you know.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Uh uh like just a psycho still being psycho?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Stop being psycho? Use psychos and Tim Walls who uh
you know, mister macho Tim Walls has decided to walk
back a little bit.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
This guy bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
And but.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But R is everything a comedy routine? Now? Is he
running for president by doing comedic routines?
Speaker 8 (21:49):
This guy bugs me in a way that he's probably unhealthy.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
And but.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
But I I have to be careful about being a
smart ass.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I was making a joke.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
These people have no sense of humor. They are the
most literal people, most literal people. But my point was
they're all mad, and I, you know, said something I didn't,
you know, probably shouldn't have about a company.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
He is an agree.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I agree, So I make the case.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
I make the case they're all they're all butt hurt
about the Tesla thing.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Butt hurt about the Tesla thing. The these violent disruptions
they're targeting a company, a publicly traded company, have been
occurring all across the country. They're driven primarily in the
opposition to what I believe is just what they perceive
(22:49):
as musks oversize influence in the Trump administration, mainly through
this so called Department of Government Efficiency. I wish they
could find some of the name for it, because it's
not a department it's not a cabinet department. It's an
office within the Executive Office of the President. But nonetheless,
(23:09):
so we'll continue to refer to it as DOGE. I
just want to make sure you understand that it's not
a cabinet department. Well, their initiatives have resulted in a
couple of things. It has resulted in the slashing of
thousands of jobs of bureaucrats jobs. And I know they're
all but heard about it, but welcome to the real world.
(23:31):
As I've said many times, and it is dismantling. Some
federal agencies are at least starting the dismantling as some
federal agencies. There's a long way to go to that.
It is exposing waste, fraud, and abuse, but it's also
doing something else, And I think this gets to the
core of what the real problem is. It is exposing
(23:54):
the grift, the corruption. It's not waste, fraud and abuse.
It is literal corruption, money laundry. It is taking your
hard earned tax dollars plus borrowing that the federal government
does because there's not enough. If we took just what
(24:17):
tax revenues are, there would not be enough money to
pay for all of the money laundering going on because
we don't have enough money to balance the budget, so
we borrow, we borrow out the wall zoo, and it's
exposing exactly how bad this is. For example, the judge
(24:38):
judge I'll bose Barred or whatever his name is, that's
involved in the fight right now over the temporary restraining orders,
turns out his wife runs an abortion cleming somewhere in
Virginia and they have donated tens of thousands of dollars
to Democrats, and that abortion clinic is or was I
(25:01):
don't think it is anymore getting some money from OH
Health and Human Services, so it I mean she they're skimming.
They're absolutely skimming. The these anti Musk protests, as I said,
they're organized under this Tesla takedown movement, which is an
(25:23):
organized movement. We need to find out who's you know,
who's organizing this, who's funding, and who's providing all of this.
The aim is to impact Musk financially by targeting the dealerships,
the showrooms, the charging stations, encouraging boycotts, and then encouraging
shareholders and owners to divest from their Tesla stock. I'm
(25:47):
certainly not giving financial advice, but it seems to me
that with them losing what thirty plus percent of their
stock value, might be a good time to buy because
it's probably going to come back. People that buy Tesla's
buy them for all sorts of reasons and the number
one made in America car. But in a not so
(26:10):
subtle way, do not forget that these organizers are encouraging
and inciting violence, encouraging and inciting and engaged in the
destruction of public property and private property. Now, the demonstrations
vary from you know, just some, and this just boggles
my mind. How stupid these people are. How many videos,
(26:34):
whether you're on Facebook ext or just watching the evening news,
do you see as somebody you know? I saw one
some some Yahoo delivering a I don't know whether it's
door Dash or uber eats or something, but he delivers
the package to the house and then he walks past
the Tesla on the way back, takes his key out
and just keys the car as he walks by. Does
he not realize that the ring doorbell is watching him?
(26:57):
Does he not realize that the camera's on the esler
are watching him? Yet they continue to do it. These
people are efan idiots, which is not surprising at all.
We even had gunfire, gunfire at the dealership in Tigered, Oregon,
back back just ten days ago. Malotov cocktails, those were
(27:22):
used to damage charging stations in South Carolina, fire set
to cyber trucks in Kansas city of March seventeen, lost wages,
five testlas torch on March eighteenth, and then the word
resist painted on the storefront. Resist. Wasn't that Kamala Harrison,
Hillary Clinton, all of the Democrats. Wasn't there that? There?
(27:44):
Mantra for a long time resists. Yeah, And of course
you've got local cops, the FBI, and Trump is threatening
to classify this vandalist domestic terrace. We can talk about
that in a minute. But these protests, just like the
rally with Bernie and AOC, are funded by this huge
(28:08):
broad network of leftist dark money groups, and they have
urged action to pressure Musk by hurting the brand and
the stock value. And some of these really angry socialist progressives,
I think they really believe they're going to succeed in
financially handicapping the world's richest man. But set all that
(28:34):
aside for a moment. I think this well organized, well
funded named campaign exists and has a much more nefarious objective.
Political consultant Rick Wilson, part of the never Trumper group,
posted kill Tesla, save the Country. Elon has a weak
(28:59):
spot attack post of that just last week. Now, Tesla
has struggled this year, but you know what, the market
cap of Tesla is about seven hundred and forty billion dollars.
Must controls slightly more than twenty percent of the shares,
So does the company no favorites for it to become
a political football at all. Nonetheless, these left us, these
(29:21):
Marxist sabotage efforts have inspired a new customer base to
pick up the slack. Let's just say for a moment
that the Tesla takedown effort succeeds in bringing down the
share price. Let's take a look at Musk's portfolio. SpaceX,
which I consider to be the premier space company in
(29:43):
the world, has really no peer competitors, Blue Origin the
rest of you.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, well, kept drawing. Did a bang up job.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, didn't they do a bang up job? Last opened
a tender offer valuing Space exit tree hundred and fifty
billion dollars. X just recently was valued. Remember, everybody had
talked about, oh my gosh, you sunk so much money
into x formerly Twitter, and now it's a it's just
(30:13):
a whole draining all your resources. It was just recently back,
maybe just last week, valued at forty four billion dollars,
XAI accumulating new funds at evaluation of seventy five billion,
and that's not even counting near Alink and the boring company,
which are also multi billion dollar endeavors. So, even if
(30:36):
the Tesla takedown movement succeeds beyond their wildest imaginations and
it does deal a significant, maybe even a death blow
to Tesla, Elon Musk is not going to be scrapped
for cash any time soon. He has effectively hacked capitalism
and he will never in his lifetime find himself with
limited access to either his own or to outsider's capital.
(30:59):
Somebody tells me that Elon's off on some new venture,
and you can get in on an ipo, or you
can get in on the ground level might be worth
considering considering his track record. But the more imaginative among
the useful idiots doing the Tesla take down know that
they're never They know that they're ever going to deprive
Elon Musk of wealth. So then it begs the question,
(31:22):
if you can't deprive him of wealth, if you can't
turn him into a beggar on the streets of San Francisco,
if you can't turn him into a beggar somewhere, what's
the real goal. The goal is simply this, to employ
domestic terrorism through the use of violence, fear, intimidation in
(31:43):
order to achieve a political objective that meets the very
definition of terrorism. So is Trump right to label it
as domestic terrorism? Probably?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So these little Tesla terrorists potatoes burning a Tesla truck,
they need to go big time and take down the
whole building.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I kind of think that's next in line, because I
really do believe that they are acting as domestic terrorists,
and so does so does the FBI. UH thinks so
too are.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
With a warning from the FBI urging the public to
be on alert for any signs of planned attacks against
Tesla vehicles and property. That comes after multiple facilities have
been targeted in recent months, with individuals setting fire to chargers,
vehicles and vandalizing buildings. The attacks began in January amid
backlash over Tesla CEO Elon Musk's involvement with DOGE and
(32:48):
the Department's efforts to shrink the federal government. Cinnce Julia
Argus Jones has more.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You know what they've done. But what fascinates me is
can not say that the era of this climate science
bull crap is done. I just kind of get the
distinct impression that all the stuff about environmentalism. I mean,
(33:16):
it's not going to go away completely, but I think
they've exposed themselves for the fraud that they are. After all. Look,
as I've always said, I don't care whether you buy
an electric vehicle or not. That's your choice, and I
think you ought to have a choice. And if the
car companies want to offer that, that's great, but don't
ask me to subsidize it. Don't ask anybody else to
(33:40):
subsidize the purchase of your car, any taxpayers, And don't
tell me that you're saving the planet when all you've
done is shift the emissions from, oh, the tailpipe to
the power plant. And at the same time, not only
have you shifted the emissions from the tailpipe to the
power plant, but you're also asking all these kids in
(34:04):
all these poor countries to go digging their hands, to
dig the cobalt so they can make the batteries, so
you can drive around pretending this and how you're saving
the planet. Well, now you hate the individuals simply because
of he's left the Democrat Party. He's working for Donald Trump.
(34:25):
He's exposing the grift within government and quite frankly, we
know it's occurring everywhere, states like Florida. Can you imagine
Colorado ever doing this? But Florida has started its own
DOGE program to try to find, expose, and eliminate waste,
fraud and abuse at the state level. Tooche Ron DeSantis, Hello,
Jared Polis, Jared, are you awake yet? Huh? You might
(34:49):
want to think about doing that in Colorado too. But
while all of that's going on, they're burning down and
destroying the very private property. Even think about this. Do
they know whether the person driving that tesla is a
Conservative or a Democrat? No, they have no idea, which
(35:12):
means it's irrelevant to them. It is the vehicle, it
is the symbol. It is the fact that that company
is majority owned by Elon Musk, and he personifies everything
that they can't.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Stand, even if that old majority is only thirteen percent.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yes, exactly, which just to go back to Tim Wat's point.
He's laughing about the stock price, which hurts all of
the public employees of Minnesota that owns millions of shares
of Tesla stocks. Yeah, it's domestic terrorists.
At the AOC Bernie rally on Friday, about two hundred
devices were detected, not thirty thousand or thirty four thousand
as claimed by others. What's really interesting is eighty four
percent of those devices had been to nine or more
of the Kamala blm Antifa, pro Palcine, pro Hamas rallies.
(00:23):
Even more telling, thirty one percent had been to twenty
more or more of those rallies.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, yes, and let's talk about that, because I was
fascinated by the Bernie AOC rally. Now when I first
heard the numbers.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
First off, I'm sorry, what, who the hell are you?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm the new guy. I'm the new guy.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, do you mind introducing yourself?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
My name's John Caldera. And if the guy that was
here Friday was probably in a drunken stupor, so I
got sobered up when to rehabit. I'm back and i'm
and i'm and I'm good to go today. I even
got a new high tech they they did neither a
(01:11):
crown nor a root canal.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Okay, what did they do?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I sat in the chair for three hours while they
touched around and did this and did that, and no,
they so so I go in and uh, you know,
I'm I'm prepared for the worst, like uh, you know
what rugas sends you, the into the into knowledge, is
into whatever it is. The root canal the guy and
(01:42):
they look at the X rays. They decided they want
to do one more X ray, look at one more thing.
So I got to wait and do that. You know,
so I've been inundate of radiation, so I got you know,
I got a third leg growing out now, So uh,
that's not because I needed I needed a third leg.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Your forehead, that's weird.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But you know, when I fall asleep during this program,
like most of the listeners do, it catches me before
I hit the console. So that third leg's pretty good,
and they so it is. It was a apparently at
like five six years ago, I had a slight chip
on that tooth and that restoration. I had bitten down
(02:23):
on something and it caused it to dislodge, which then
the next time I bit down on that tooth caused
a slight crack.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
So the.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It sounds funny to say this way, but when they
when they looked at it, because the root was fine
and every everything, everything was fighting the enamel. Everything's good.
On the tooth. They're like, we don't want to We
don't want to put a crown in there, because if
we put a crowd in there, we have to scrape
all this good enamel off, you know, to make room
for the crown. So we don't want to do that.
And there's no reason to do a root canal because
(02:56):
it's a perfectly healthy tooth. So we're not going to
do any of that. But there's a there's new technology.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Ooh, your experiment, And of course.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You know, I love I love technology, and I'm like,
really new technology, Tell me about it. And they said, well,
it's this new and the best. They don't they had
to throw yeah, basically a new kind of super glue.
But he's trying. But you know, and don't get me wrong,
I love Avery's He's I think he's the best business
(03:25):
in the world. I've been going to him for twenty years.
And his name's Lopez, so I always make I always
joke about him being a illegal alien, that he know
he moved here illegally. He's from Grand Junction, he was
born in Grand Junction. He can't speak Spanish, he doesn't
speak any Spanish at all, but he's Lopez. So I
make fun of him for being an illegal alien, and like,
(03:45):
can I really see your license?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Look at this license. It looks to me like you
photocopied it. And why did I have somebody else's name? Anyway,
we have we have a good time together. But he's
he's describing to me the best way I can describe
it is it's a new epoxy, and of course he's
interlocking his fingers like it has these fibers that interlock
in it, it adheres to the inside of the tooth.
It's just it's wonderful, you know. And I'm like, okay,
(04:09):
have you done this before? Like, have you done it before?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Am I patient number one?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
If my patient number one? And he said, no, no,
you're not patient number one except for me. You're my
first one I get to do this with. But it's
so so you describe me all this stuff and it
sounds wonderful, except then he says, but I have to
no other way to say this. I have to widen
(04:35):
your crack. Of course, I look at him, like, what
I want my toothworked on? My quack's just like he's
a wife to widen your crack. So so now it's like,
you know, they put the numbing stuff in and then
(04:57):
they you know, they came back to.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
With a you know, like a laws of life, the
jaws of life. To I mean, it's just horrific.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I don't know what kind of torturous device that is
that at the same time pushes your cheek out, suppresses
your tongue where you can't move your tongue, and then
locks your jaw into place where you can't do anything.
And then they come out with these hypodermic needles that
are about the size of a plunger and go plunging
all this stuff into dead in your mouth, and then
pretty soon you know, you you can't feel anything. And
(05:30):
then they start to drill, and because the enamel of
my teeth are so hard, they're they're they're literally trying
to make the crack worse so they can make the
crack better.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Right, it sounds about right, And your instruction stuff, that's
kind of what you need to do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You gotta take you know, you have to you have
to do the what the what they tell the when
you do the demolition, they gotta they gotta demolish it
so they can rebuild it. Right, So I'm saying there,
and there's nothing worse than the smell of your teeth
being drilled. It's like it's not burning flesh.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But it's it's a bad smoke. Yes, it's just not pleasant.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And of course this is you know, this is not
this is something they've squeezed me into the schedules. They
can get it done. So that means, you know, he
drills for a while, then he has to go see
a patient and he has to come back. And so
I'm in this chair for like like half a day,
it seems like, and they they widen my crack, which
(06:34):
is the phrase I have launched onto. And and once
they widen the crack, then they come at you again
with some sort of thing that now they start putting
all this stuff in, but they have to put the
stuff in. Let that seal. And they put some more
stuff in and let that seal, and put some more
stuff in, let that seal. And then when they all
when they get done, they start removing all the crap
(06:56):
out of your mouth, and you realize you can't feel anything,
and you're scared to talk. I'm starving to death, but
I don't want to eat. I don't want to go
clamp down on my cheek or my lips. So I
I keep doing this dragon, I keep dragging my cheek
(07:19):
and you know, cracks cheek. You can figure out which
one and and I'll pull it out because I think
it's like between my teeth, and sure enough it is.
I can feel it coming out from between my teeth.
So anyway, that that was my Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It was it was wonderful, sounds exhilarating, It was exhilarating.
But he's it's it's amazing what he can do. He's
such a he's such a good demos. I'm glad I
got I'm glad I got to and we had fun
with cal Dara. We talked about the teacher's protest, and
then we did World Down Syndrome Day, talked with his
son Chance, which was absolutely fantastic, A lot of love
(07:56):
for that. And then we did such a Good Kid
Opens Record Open Records Act here in Colorado with some
of the teacher's stuff, and then of course I hosted
the Textpayer Relief Shots.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yes, which according to the text messages between you and Caldera,
Friday's show was just awful, just awful, and there's nothing
more wonderful than knowing how much your your goobers love you.
So you you, you know, you're sitting around the house,
there's not really a lot to do. You're hoping that
you can eat something by dinner time. And so you
(08:31):
go on to the text line and you start reading
all the text messages and pretty soon you're scrolling and
you're scrolling and you're scrolling, and pretty soon f bombs
start coming out, you know, and just if.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You from you, not the text line from you, The
f bombs are coming from you, not from me.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
About the text line, right, yeah, because everybody, because everybody
knows that I'm reading it. So what are they doing? Oh?
They they're singing your praises Old Caldera. Now I'm glad
Chance was on me because I love Chance. He's a
good he was great and you know, and I hate,
I really hate to admit this, but John really is
a great father. He's a really good father. More than that,
(09:12):
he's a piece of crap.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Just to tell a piece of crap, as we have
seen him throw on the Capitol steps.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yes, exactly. So I'm back, glad to be back. Yes,
I did wake up to this text message this morning
from goober number zero three five zero. Mike loved listening
to you. So there.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I'm not sure if that was meant for you. I mean,
it could have been delayed from the podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well it's from yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Well even still, they could have been listening to the
podcast and then left that text message.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh oh okay, all right whatever. Oh given number forty
three sixty six though, went to Michael says, go here
dot com looking for the department of ed stuff that
I quoted. I don't see your stock of stuff? Would
you point me in the right direction? Yeah, it's right here.
Try here to my right, and it's right here on
my laptop.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And if it's if it's anything he talks about on
the Weekend with Michael Brown that I am not a
part of. It ain't gonna get posted, and Michael says,
go here dot com. Yeah, it's barely even gonna get
made to the podcast. Wait, somebody else is doing the
podcast of the weekend. Never mind the podcast of the weekend.
It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, the podcast on the weekend is now fine. In fact,
I shouldn't hear I shouldn't have any complaints about the
Weekend podcast because I've now shifted that out to Los
Angeles too, so I'm no longer doing that, and which
is really I can't believe what a difference it makes,
because when I would finish on Saturday, you know, i'd
finish at one o'clock and i'd you know, pack up
and leave the building and after rearranging the stuff that
(10:36):
people tell you not to rearrange. By the way, do
you see my Instagram account?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
No, I don't look at your Instagram account. Why would
I do that, because barely even want to look at
you here now.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Because oh, I don't have it with me. So I
walk into the production studio and it's and it's place
right where I can't miss. It's like someone put it
there because they knew I would use it, not use it,
but I would see it. I didn't. I didn't open
it up. June nineteen eighty five in the wrapper Playboy Magazine. Now,
(11:10):
somebody on the third floor, somewhere in this building, somebody decided, Sam,
I'm just digging out. You know, somebody must have gotten fired.
Somebody got fired Friday. They were digging through their desk
was cleaned out. Yea, yeah, they're cleaning through their desk
and they find a June, and because I had to
do it. First of all, I wanted to open it up,
but it's not worth that much on EBA. I could
(11:31):
probably get like five bucks for it or something. I
was hoping like five thousand dollars. But I still didn't
open it. But I had to look closely, like is
this really? Then I had to do the calculation see
nineteen eighty five to see fifteen gets me to two thousand.
So fifteen plus twenty five is forty.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's forty freaking years old.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And it's in pristine condition. I really truly do want
to see what she looks like. Brigitte I think was
the name of the playmate. I'm not really sure. Anyway,
I don't know at Michael D. Brown on Instagram. So
that's that was my big Instagram post. So I normally
what I do on Saturday is I leave and I
go home and and I you know, that's really this,
(12:12):
that's not that's that's the second start of my weekend.
Except in the past I had to sit and wait
for Los Angeles to send me the MP three's so
I could then upload them speaker. But that's now all
done in Los Angeles, so that there should be no
complaints about spots in the middle of a word or
(12:33):
in the middle of a sentence or anything else, because
now the Michael, not not this Michael, but that Michael
now takes care of it. And I'm so now when
I leave here, I'm.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Just like, even better when the weekend gets replayed here
on six point thirty K HOW last night. Yes, the
pegs joiners have been removed.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, you know what's funny. But so here's the here's
the problem. So I forget One of you goobers sent
me a note that said, I think it maybe it
been Janis in Boston.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
That sounds about right.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Sent me a text message that said, Hey, as long
as we're doing the you know, the fascist show complaining
about stuff at work, she says, you should know that
when khow replays Your Freedom, the nationally syndicated program on
Sunday evenings, Uh, the intros are Joe.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Bags, Joe Bags, welcome back to my show.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So I fire off an email to my program director
in LA and he's like, I can't some of these affiliates.
I cannot believe how horrible they are about taking care
of stuff. Find out who it is. I'm going to
read on the Riot Act. So I found out who
it was. Oh, it's this station, which pretty much sums
(13:54):
up right.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
So I went into the system, clicked a few buttons
and made sure that those are kind of air. How
long have I been doing that? Almost three years, man,
something like that. Yeah, almost three years now, and it's
still PAGs. Doesn't get me wrong, I love bags, but
it's like, hey, bags, we can't exactly fault our imaging
guy either, because our imaging guy he's one guy that
(14:20):
does all the stations in the building who is also
a sports producer, who he's got to deal with all that.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Right, So the imagy guy that like imaging is like
at the bottom of the pile.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, yeah, especially for us. We're because you and I
are at the bottom of the pile.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, at least we know our place. True, we know
our place, which quite frankly, in this business, that's a
good place to be. Nobody cares other than I thought
it was funny when I put in my request for
a sick day, the first sick day I've taken him, Like,
I don't know, at least five years your back surgery,
(14:58):
my back surge, that's been at least three years ago
or longer, and so I I two days in advance.
I think on a Wednesday. I think I put in
for the Friday and said, you know, dental procedure, and
it was like I had asked for from the move
Heaven and Earth.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It's like, guys, well, it was your fault for getting
that done during March madness.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's and that's exactly how it was. You know how
you when you read a text message, you read it
with your state of mind, right, yeah, so not the
state of mind that the person who has written the
text message to you. So for example, when uh goob
and every ninety seven ninety eight writes Michael, welcome back
exclamation point Alexa, I read that with excitement and she's
(15:49):
happy that I'm back and everything else, when in fact,
when she wrote that, it was like Michael, welcome back,
it was total disdain.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
So this so I.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Read the text message that I got back about how
short staffed we are and how we have a difficult
time finding fill ins. I read it with, well, what
if I'd had a heart attack, would you have sent
the same? Hey, it's March mad what are you doing
having a heart attack in the middle of March madness.
(16:21):
What are you doing having a heart attack? We've already
used up all the filly ins we have. What are
you doing having a heart attack when you know you
have five thousand hours of sick leaven you haven't taken
in three years? What are you doing asking for it? Now?
That's the way I read it, But it was basically
on the other side, Hey, I'm kind of busy right now.
I don't have time to mess with your stupidental procedure.
And of course my point was I didn't care because
(16:45):
I was going to get it done and what happens
here when I'm gone?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Didn't know, didn't care, didn't no, didn't care.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
All I know is, in fact, it was funny because
that request for time off did not get a pro
proved until way after the time off had expired.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You were in the chair and it's like, oh approved, Okay, No,
it was even then it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Was mutt No, it was like like Friday nights sometimes approved.
Because I had I had tempted. I was really tempted
just to see what Tepper would do. I was really
tempted to see to go back into work day to
see if there was a way to rescind the request
for time off because it not that I need the
not that I need the sick days, because I've got
the maximum amount, so now I can get back after
(17:30):
the maximum amount after this month.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I think just for see, anytime Temper gets a text
message from you, he just just a face palm and
just goes ugh.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I know, because and that's the way I like it,
because that means he never hears from us. He doesn't
hear from us, I don't hear from him. A perfect relationship.
It's a wonderful marriage. It's like, you know, just separate.
But it is good to be back, man, how much?
(18:00):
With much rather than doing this than doing that. Anytime
anytime that somebody says we have to widen your crack,
you know that it's not gonna be a good day.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
They get more cookies for whiting.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
No, but you know what they did leave. They have
a little toy box up front, and the toy boxes
for kids to.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Get into a little space with the courder ring.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well they told me, they said, hey, there's some toys
in there for you, So I thought, really, so I opened.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
The toy box. There was a.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Mini bottle of vodka and a mini bottle of takeeter.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Seriously, Yes, serious, Wow, Yeah, they loved me there, they
loved me, just like these ubers love me, Julie, you
don't think so, dreg. And not only did you do
a fantastic job on Friday, your bumper music selection was
spot on well done. It's a gift.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You two want to get a room.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I'm there's no love for you around here.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I don't care. I'm just gonna. I'm a soldier on
with Mike wide open crack, just soldier right on today.
The Tesla takeover has become such an integral part of
our society that even on CNN's attempt to have a
(19:25):
late night comedy show, I guess since Greg Guttfeld is
killing everybody in the ratings, is the number one late
night show on a cable channel, Fox News, and all
the Libs are beginning to suck eggs and suck air.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
What is Elon Musk doing to make this whole constitutional
crisis more efficient? CNN Caitlan Collins on what Elon has
been up to.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
The New York Times is reporting tonight that Elon Musk
is now donating the maximum that is allowed by law
to the campaigns of all these publican members that you
see here on screen of Congress of expressed support for
judicial impeachments.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
When do we riot? I know what, Well, here's what
I've been doing.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I've been going around to random Tesla dealers and just
lighting cars on fire. I just realized, here's a good
chance I'll get arrested for saying that I was lighting
cars on fire.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
That's real.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I didn't do that, and I wouldn't do that the
next segment and doesn't have to.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
We'll be right there.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Are you sure this wasn't ESNL, because that's that's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's very bad. No, that's seeing the CNN Late Night
Comedy Show panel. Yeah, that's very bad. Uh. Elon had
something to say about it.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
If you read the news, it feels like, you know, imageddon,
Like I get we'll pass the TV without seeing a
Tesla on fire, Like what's going on? You know some
people that's like, listen, I understand if you don't want
buy our product, but you don't have to burn it down.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
That's not about unreasonable, you know.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Uh uh like just a psycho still being psycho?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Stop being psycho? Use psychos and Tim Walls who uh
you know, mister macho Tim Walls has decided to walk
back a little bit.
Speaker 8 (21:29):
This guy bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
And but.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
But R is everything a comedy routine? Now? Is he
running for president by doing comedic routines?
Speaker 8 (21:49):
This guy bugs me in a way that he's probably unhealthy.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
And but.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
But I I have to be careful about being a
smart ass.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
I was making a joke.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
These people have no sense of humor. They are the
most literal people, most literal people. But my point was
they're all mad, and I, you know, said something I didn't,
you know, probably shouldn't have about a company.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
He is an agree.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I agree, So I make the case.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
I make the case they're all they're all butt hurt
about the Tesla thing.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Butt hurt about the Tesla thing. The these violent disruptions
they're targeting a company, a publicly traded company, have been
occurring all across the country. They're driven primarily in the
opposition to what I believe is just what they perceive
(22:49):
as musks oversize influence in the Trump administration, mainly through
this so called Department of Government Efficiency. I wish they
could find some of the name for it, because it's
not a department it's not a cabinet department. It's an
office within the Executive Office of the President. But nonetheless,
(23:09):
so we'll continue to refer to it as DOGE. I
just want to make sure you understand that it's not
a cabinet department. Well, their initiatives have resulted in a
couple of things. It has resulted in the slashing of
thousands of jobs of bureaucrats jobs. And I know they're
all but heard about it, but welcome to the real world.
(23:31):
As I've said many times, and it is dismantling. Some
federal agencies are at least starting the dismantling as some
federal agencies. There's a long way to go to that.
It is exposing waste, fraud, and abuse, but it's also
doing something else, And I think this gets to the
core of what the real problem is. It is exposing
(23:54):
the grift, the corruption. It's not waste, fraud and abuse.
It is literal corruption, money laundry. It is taking your
hard earned tax dollars plus borrowing that the federal government
does because there's not enough. If we took just what
(24:17):
tax revenues are, there would not be enough money to
pay for all of the money laundering going on because
we don't have enough money to balance the budget, so
we borrow, we borrow out the wall zoo, and it's
exposing exactly how bad this is. For example, the judge
(24:38):
judge I'll bose Barred or whatever his name is, that's
involved in the fight right now over the temporary restraining orders,
turns out his wife runs an abortion cleming somewhere in
Virginia and they have donated tens of thousands of dollars
to Democrats, and that abortion clinic is or was I
(25:01):
don't think it is anymore getting some money from OH
Health and Human Services, so it I mean she they're skimming.
They're absolutely skimming. The these anti Musk protests, as I said,
they're organized under this Tesla takedown movement, which is an
(25:23):
organized movement. We need to find out who's you know,
who's organizing this, who's funding, and who's providing all of this.
The aim is to impact Musk financially by targeting the dealerships,
the showrooms, the charging stations, encouraging boycotts, and then encouraging
shareholders and owners to divest from their Tesla stock. I'm
(25:47):
certainly not giving financial advice, but it seems to me
that with them losing what thirty plus percent of their
stock value, might be a good time to buy because
it's probably going to come back. People that buy Tesla's
buy them for all sorts of reasons and the number
one made in America car. But in a not so
(26:10):
subtle way, do not forget that these organizers are encouraging
and inciting violence, encouraging and inciting and engaged in the
destruction of public property and private property. Now, the demonstrations
vary from you know, just some, and this just boggles
my mind. How stupid these people are. How many videos,
(26:34):
whether you're on Facebook ext or just watching the evening news,
do you see as somebody you know? I saw one
some some Yahoo delivering a I don't know whether it's
door Dash or uber eats or something, but he delivers
the package to the house and then he walks past
the Tesla on the way back, takes his key out
and just keys the car as he walks by. Does
he not realize that the ring doorbell is watching him?
(26:57):
Does he not realize that the camera's on the esler
are watching him? Yet they continue to do it. These
people are efan idiots, which is not surprising at all.
We even had gunfire, gunfire at the dealership in Tigered, Oregon,
back back just ten days ago. Malotov cocktails, those were
(27:22):
used to damage charging stations in South Carolina, fire set
to cyber trucks in Kansas city of March seventeen, lost wages,
five testlas torch on March eighteenth, and then the word
resist painted on the storefront. Resist. Wasn't that Kamala Harrison,
Hillary Clinton, all of the Democrats. Wasn't there that? There?
(27:44):
Mantra for a long time resists. Yeah, And of course
you've got local cops, the FBI, and Trump is threatening
to classify this vandalist domestic terrace. We can talk about
that in a minute. But these protests, just like the
rally with Bernie and AOC, are funded by this huge
(28:08):
broad network of leftist dark money groups, and they have
urged action to pressure Musk by hurting the brand and
the stock value. And some of these really angry socialist progressives,
I think they really believe they're going to succeed in
financially handicapping the world's richest man. But set all that
(28:34):
aside for a moment. I think this well organized, well
funded named campaign exists and has a much more nefarious objective.
Political consultant Rick Wilson, part of the never Trumper group,
posted kill Tesla, save the Country. Elon has a weak
(28:59):
spot attack post of that just last week. Now, Tesla
has struggled this year, but you know what, the market
cap of Tesla is about seven hundred and forty billion dollars.
Must controls slightly more than twenty percent of the shares,
So does the company no favorites for it to become
a political football at all. Nonetheless, these left us, these
(29:21):
Marxist sabotage efforts have inspired a new customer base to
pick up the slack. Let's just say for a moment
that the Tesla takedown effort succeeds in bringing down the
share price. Let's take a look at Musk's portfolio. SpaceX,
which I consider to be the premier space company in
(29:43):
the world, has really no peer competitors, Blue Origin the
rest of you.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, well, kept drawing. Did a bang up job.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, didn't they do a bang up job? Last opened
a tender offer valuing Space exit tree hundred and fifty
billion dollars. X just recently was valued. Remember, everybody had
talked about, oh my gosh, you sunk so much money
into x formerly Twitter, and now it's a it's just
(30:13):
a whole draining all your resources. It was just recently back,
maybe just last week, valued at forty four billion dollars,
XAI accumulating new funds at evaluation of seventy five billion,
and that's not even counting near Alink and the boring company,
which are also multi billion dollar endeavors. So, even if
(30:36):
the Tesla takedown movement succeeds beyond their wildest imaginations and
it does deal a significant, maybe even a death blow
to Tesla, Elon Musk is not going to be scrapped
for cash any time soon. He has effectively hacked capitalism
and he will never in his lifetime find himself with
limited access to either his own or to outsider's capital.
(30:59):
Somebody tells me that Elon's off on some new venture,
and you can get in on an ipo, or you
can get in on the ground level might be worth
considering considering his track record. But the more imaginative among
the useful idiots doing the Tesla take down know that
they're never They know that they're ever going to deprive
Elon Musk of wealth. So then it begs the question,
(31:22):
if you can't deprive him of wealth, if you can't
turn him into a beggar on the streets of San Francisco,
if you can't turn him into a beggar somewhere, what's
the real goal. The goal is simply this, to employ
domestic terrorism through the use of violence, fear, intimidation in
(31:43):
order to achieve a political objective that meets the very
definition of terrorism. So is Trump right to label it
as domestic terrorism? Probably?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So these little Tesla terrorists potatoes burning a Tesla truck,
they need to go big time and take down the
whole building.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I kind of think that's next in line, because I
really do believe that they are acting as domestic terrorists,
and so does so does the FBI. UH thinks so
too are.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
With a warning from the FBI urging the public to
be on alert for any signs of planned attacks against
Tesla vehicles and property. That comes after multiple facilities have
been targeted in recent months, with individuals setting fire to chargers,
vehicles and vandalizing buildings. The attacks began in January amid
backlash over Tesla CEO Elon Musk's involvement with DOGE and
(32:48):
the Department's efforts to shrink the federal government. Cinnce Julia
Argus Jones has more.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You know what they've done. But what fascinates me is
can not say that the era of this climate science
bull crap is done. I just kind of get the
distinct impression that all the stuff about environmentalism. I mean,
(33:16):
it's not going to go away completely, but I think
they've exposed themselves for the fraud that they are. After all. Look,
as I've always said, I don't care whether you buy
an electric vehicle or not. That's your choice, and I
think you ought to have a choice. And if the
car companies want to offer that, that's great, but don't
ask me to subsidize it. Don't ask anybody else to
(33:40):
subsidize the purchase of your car, any taxpayers, And don't
tell me that you're saving the planet when all you've
done is shift the emissions from, oh, the tailpipe to
the power plant. And at the same time, not only
have you shifted the emissions from the tailpipe to the
power plant, but you're also asking all these kids in
(34:04):
all these poor countries to go digging their hands, to
dig the cobalt so they can make the batteries, so
you can drive around pretending this and how you're saving
the planet. Well, now you hate the individuals simply because
of he's left the Democrat Party. He's working for Donald Trump.
(34:25):
He's exposing the grift within government and quite frankly, we
know it's occurring everywhere, states like Florida. Can you imagine
Colorado ever doing this? But Florida has started its own
DOGE program to try to find, expose, and eliminate waste,
fraud and abuse at the state level. Tooche Ron DeSantis, Hello,
Jared Polis, Jared, are you awake yet? Huh? You might
(34:49):
want to think about doing that in Colorado too. But
while all of that's going on, they're burning down and
destroying the very private property. Even think about this. Do
they know whether the person driving that tesla is a
Conservative or a Democrat? No, they have no idea, which
(35:12):
means it's irrelevant to them. It is the vehicle, it
is the symbol. It is the fact that that company
is majority owned by Elon Musk, and he personifies everything
that they can't.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Stand, even if that old majority is only thirteen percent.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yes, exactly, which just to go back to Tim Wat's point.
He's laughing about the stock price, which hurts all of
the public employees of Minnesota that owns millions of shares
of Tesla stocks. Yeah, it's domestic terrorists.
