Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, News roundup and information overload our here's our
toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred and nine to
four one Sean. If you want to be a part
of the program, don't forget Our interview with President Trump.
Yla Musk is for the full hour tonight on Hannity.
We actually went longer. We're going to run part two
tomorrow night. Now, like all things President Trump, things are moving,
(00:24):
you know, at warp speed, and we've never seen anything
like it. And the progress is tremendous. It's not just
doge and it's not just you know, moving forward with
executive actions and orders. It is you know, the President
has a very ambitious agenda to get the economy back
on track, help America become energy dominant, getting rid of
(00:46):
those people that didn't respect our laws, borters and sovereignty.
But then he's doing a ton of work abroad, which
is phenomenal. We see you know, we saw King Abdullah
last week open to the idea. And President Trump will
go into Gaza. I mean, the media focused on all
the wrong parts of it. He's willing to demilitarize it,
(01:09):
clean out all of the rubble, considering it's basically rubble
and take away any weaponry and work with Arab all
eyes and get this place cleaned up and develop it
into what could be one of the most beautiful places
in the Middle East with water from property. And I
(01:29):
think that's what's most interested. You know, some of these
these these Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and Cutter
and Jordan and elsewhere, they don't want never ending war
in the Middle East. And they've all wanted to diversify
their portfolios. They know America is going to really become
(01:50):
energy dominant under Trump, so there has been a lot
of money invested in diversification. So that's moving forward, and
hopefully Iran will be dealt with. And that means the Iranians,
you have to cut off their finances at some point.
Their refineries need to go, and the nuclear sites need
to go. The world cannot risk a nuclear arm Durant
(02:11):
all right, that's on the one hand. On the over
in Europe, and I don't care that they they didn't
like getting casteized by JD.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Vans.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I thought his speech was dead on accurate. NATO countries
now must begin the process of paying their fair share.
It was interesting to watch the you know, even the
head of NATO make the comment that, yeah, we need
to step up and start paying more money. The NATO
(02:42):
Secretary General say saying in European countries have much more
to do to increase defense spending. They do, and they
and Trump onwanns NATO members to increase defense spending to
five percent of GDP, which is what they should do.
And they shouldn't have speech limitations the way they do
in Europe, and they shouldn't have tariffs on America the
(03:02):
way they do in Europe and the way they do
in Canada, and the way they do in India and
the way they do in Brazil. So we're making progress
on all these fronts again at the speed of light.
Probably the most the biggest challenges are number one geopolitical foe,
and that of course would be China. And China have
got outraged after the Trump State Department deleted a key
(03:26):
phrase on Taiwan relations and anyway Taiwan had previously been
stated we do not support Taiwan independence. That phrase was
removed on Thursday and continues to be absent, which is
really annoyed the communist Chinese. Communist Chinese, they think they
(03:46):
want to have a trade war with Donald Trump. Their
economy is in a bit of a tail spit number one.
They need US imports for their economy desperately, and I
imagine there's going to be a deal down the road
to be made there too. And I would imagine most
of these countries, with Donald Trump's new policy of terror fresiprocity,
that that's going to be a big deal anyway. One
(04:08):
of the people in the forefront of all are national
security issues, and he's a friend of the program and
he's one of the top conservative leaders in the US.
Senate Tom Cotton is with us from Arkansas. He has
a new book out today, Seven Things you Can't Say
about China. We want to talk to him about that,
and you know, peace in Europe and peace in the
Middle East. Senator, how are you. Congratulations, Thank you for
(04:31):
being with us. We have it on an Amazon dot com,
Anity dot com. It's now bookstores around the country.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Hey, thank you, Sean. Thanks for having me on to
talk about Seven Things you Can't Say about China. And
you're right, China is the worst threat that our nation faces,
maybe the worst we've ever faced, because it's the only
nation that has an economy nearly as large as ours,
it's so deeply integrated as ours because of the failures
of leaders at both parties. Really going back to the
nineteen nineties to aid and event China's rise that's underwritten,
(05:00):
this rapid military build up that's given it vast amounts
of influence inside of America in our businesses and Wall
Street on college campuses and our governments, and what I
do in seven things can't say about China's really ringing
the along beil. Most Americans have a justly low opinion
of communist China, but they often don't hear the full
(05:20):
case about it and about China's crimes and its aggression
against the United States, in part because of our leaps
too often are compromised by China.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Well, we know generally that they they don't they have
unfair trade practice is we know generally about their intellectual
property stuff. We know generally about their massive military build ups,
especially in the last decade. We know about their hostile
maneuverings during the Biden years, even against American fighter jets
(05:51):
and international airspace, and against our navy and international waterways.
We know their territorial ambitions as it relates to Taiwan,
and we know that they have been the most resistant
country from even talking or doing a deal with Donald Trump,
although I think that's going to change. But what are
the other things that people really need to know about
(06:11):
our top geopolitical foe, because they're the most mysterious of
all of them. We know that the Chinese hacked the
Trump administration, Donald Trump himself JB Vance, the entire campaign,
which annoys me that we're hackabowl. I don't think we
should be hacka bull by the Chinese, and I hope
we're doing the same thing back to them, but they
(06:33):
certainly are not playing fair.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
On the international stage.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, Sean. The title of the book Seven Things You
Can't Say about China highlights the influence that's pervasive in
America because we've helped China become so rich, because we're
so interdependent with China. In many cases, we're just dependent
on China. That has given them great influence in our society.
If you're called five years ago, I think it was
five years ago this week. I first said, you know,
(07:01):
I think this coronavirus from Muhan came from that lab,
not from the food market. Because they're researching coronavirus is there,
and there's no bats in the area, and the lady
running the lab is called the fat Lady, and they
have bad safety practices. Now, I expected Chinese communist officials
to jump down my throat on that, but you also
had Americans at a lead institutions who are willing to
(07:21):
man the ramparts on behalf of China, like the Washington Post,
like the CNN, like New York Times, to say that
al I was peddling with fringe debunks conspiracy theories, when
really all I was doing was using the basic common
sense that most Americans have and assessing the facts in
front of our eyes. Or consider Hollywood, Sean, I mean,
when it was the last time you saw a movie
(07:42):
with the Chinese villain? You have it because Hollywood movie
studios are dependent on access to very large, lucrative Chinese
movie markets. And consider our news networks too, Sean. Fox
News is the only network that is not owned by
or affiliated with one of those movie studios, is eyes
at Fox. It's the network that gives us the most unbiased, unvarnished,
(08:05):
fair and clear eyed treatment of Communist China.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Nola.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I don't think it is everywhere you turn in American society,
you can see this kind of Chinese communist influence in
a way you did not see with Soviet Russia. Sure
they had influence operations and they had spies, but because
they didn't have the same degree of economic linkage, you
didn't see so many people who were always rushing to
man the ramparts on behalf of Russia the way to
(08:31):
do on behalf of China today?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know, And what is the answer? I mean, I
imagine like Ukraine and Russia. I mean, there was there
was some criticism of Secretary of State Rubio for a
meeting with Russians to kick star peace talks, But there
have been private conversations going on the entire time. Donald
Trump got into office, and he's only in week five
with President Zelensky when he talked to Putin. Then he
(08:56):
talked to Zelensky, And I guess the plan is is
that at some point once did I guess a potential
deal is in the works, that they're all going to
meet together. How does it play out for China before
I go back to Europe.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Well, I think part of the answer, Sean is recognizing
that we had a problem and too few people did
until President Trump was elected first and in twenty seventeen.
You know, he had been founding the alarm about China
for some time, and there's no question he's the toughest
president on communists China since the end of the Cold
War and maybe since now when the Chinese Communists took
power in nineteen forty nine. I mean, the main competitor
(09:33):
at the Eisenhower, and Eisenhower threatened to nuke them twice
to give you a sense of how tough the competition
would be. But we need to sound the alarm. We
need to highlight what China is doing inside our country,
what they're doing to our kids, to our businesses, to
our schools, to our universities, and our government. We need,
to the greatest extent we can delink our economy from
(09:54):
China's the commomy. They're not going to be able to
do that entirely at this late hour, but on critical
things rare earth minerals that are essential to a modern
electronic digital economy, or basic pharmaceuticals like antibiotics and the
seed of minicin and ibuprofen, we can no longer depend
on China for such things. Because they have said that
they will hold it over ahead in a moment of crisis.
(10:15):
And they've done it to other nations.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, I mean that to me is critical. And they
have and they've gotten away with it from other individuals.
I mean, and they've treated other countries. I mean, I
can't imagine China now they don't like what Donald Trump
has done in terms of removing this provision about Taiwan
on their website. However, knowing Donald Trump as well as
(10:42):
I do, everything with him is a negotiation. He's just
begun negotiations with China, hasn't he.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, And it's just like what he did at the
end of his first administration when he declared officially that
China's committing a genocide against religious and ethnic minorities in
Northwest China, and Chinese communists went berserk over that. Exactly
what Ronald Reagan did in demanding that Soviet Union stop
oppressing its own people. It's just another pressure point on
the government in Beijing. So when you sit down, the
(11:10):
list of issues that you want to raise is much
longer than the list of issues they want to raise.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
A right, quick break, we'll come back more with Senator
Tom Cotton. Seven things you can't say about China, Hannity
dot com, Amazon dot com. Yeah, China's an evil empire,
preparing for war, waging an economic world war, infiltrating our
society and infiltrating our government, and coming for our kids,
and they could win.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's scary.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
More were Tom Cotton on the other side. And we
(11:55):
continue now with Senator Tom Cotton. By the way, there's
a new book out, Seven Things You Cannot Say About China.
So let me ask you this. Let's move on. We
have we have China, I think our number one top
geopolitical foe. And I've got to believe that Donald Trump
has begun negotiating with China. I do know from sources
he's already spoken to presidency, so there is a dialogue
(12:18):
that has begun. Then we've got, you know, obviously, if
the President has said publicly that both Selenski and Putin
want more in Europe to stop. And when I had
President Zelensky on TV a couple of weeks ago, I
said to him, you know that the president wants a
negotiated settlement that will mean you won't be a member
(12:39):
of NATO and you'll probably give up some land. And
there's there's going to be some involvement in the US
at some point as well. I think that's where we
end up.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Do you agree, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Don't think there's a lot of mystery about what might
and might not happen in these negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
I think we were left with a terrible mess by Biden. No,
he tempted Putin to invade in the first place. He
pussy footed around for three years, and it's clear now
in retrospect his strategy all along was to lose just
after the election. So that's what we all inherit in
(13:11):
the mess we have to deal with. And I think
right now the best solution, and that sounds to me
like this is what President Trump president Zelenski are aiming at,
is to have a durable and lasting truth that in
sofiding and into killing. Especially for Ukraine, which is much
smaller than.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Russia, you'd think, yeah, I'm sorry, I thought you were finished.
Do you think that in the Middle East that the
President's idea of cleaning out Gaza, demilitarizing it, and rebuilding it.
Do you think neighboring countries will buy into that?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, I hope they will. I mean because obviously Israel
isn't responsible for rebuilding God. That Israel was invaded brutally
in an unprovoked, atrocious fashion, and I don't think we
should spend American taxpayer dollars on it either. It's the
countries in the region who have an interest in having
a stable, peaceful God. So I hope that they'll buy
into some version of that vision that President Trump can support,
(14:05):
the Prime Minister and Yahoo can support, and our air
partners can support as well.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I agree, Well, Senator, we think the world your congratulations
Senator Tom Cotton, Arkansas. He does have a new book out.
It's in bookstores around the country. Amazon dot Comhanity dot com.
Seven things you can't say about China. China will be
the most difficult for our nation that we have to
deal with for a lot of different reasons, and certainly
(14:31):
they have the most in terms of military might. That
should concern every American, which is why we need the
next generation of weaponry and not only catch up on
hypersonic technology, but in other areas where we might be
deficient and surpass any technology that they have. And I
like the President's idea for an iron dome that will
(14:53):
cover the country, Senator Cotton, thank you, sir, appreciate it.
So I hope people, I will tell you I've done
a lot of interviews in my life.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I often get asked what it was your favorite interview.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
This was This is at the top one of my
favorite interviews of all time, and with President Trump and
Elon Musk, and I hope you find it valuable and worthwhile.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And here's a little clip of.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
What you will see tonight, and I'll tell you it
was really just a conversation. And yes, I asked the
conflict of interest questions, and yes I asked about Social
Security and Medicare and the Department of Education, all the
questions people want. But we're running a full hour tonight.
Well part two tomorrow is not for a full hour.
But you know, what I've learned about Elon Musk fascinates me.
(15:43):
You know, from the time that he founded PayPal and
ziplock whatever that was.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I don't even remember what that one was.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Space x he was the chief engineer and he funded
it and the first private company to ever get into orbit.
And he's launched all these satellites and Starlink now covers
one hundred countries. You know, and then I look at
his his other ventures into Tesla for example. You know,
(16:11):
even jokes in the interview. Liberals used to like them,
and they don't anymore. I mean, they have called him
every name in the book because he has exposed the
most fraudulent, wasteful, disgusting misuse of public funds, the greatest
amount of corruption that we've ever seen in our lifetime.
(16:34):
I mean, it makes what Citizens Against Government Waste, which
was a great organization back in the day, what they
used to find, pale in comparison. And it's just it's
now on steroids and human growth hormone, you know, because
he's now they're now discovering what will end up being
hundreds and hundreds of billions of wasted hard earned tax dollars.
(16:56):
And you wonder why we have thirty seven trillion in
and under this current budget, which is the Biden Harris
budget until the new fiscal year starts October one, unless
they can do reconciliation, which would help that, you know,
we're going to live under. And it just is so outrageous.
And when you factor in we're stealing from our kids
(17:18):
and grandkids, and stealing from you and stealing from the
average hard working American, the people that make this country great,
on average, makes sixty six thousand dollars a year. Okay,
by the time you pay your rent, your mortgage, your
car payment, your insurance, your grocery bill, especially with Biden
(17:39):
Harris inflation, high gas prices, if people are tapped out.
I've lived tapped out. It sucks, it's not fun, and
not just for one summer. For the early years of
my adult life, I was tapped out, even though I
was working, and I was trying to pay my way
through college, and it costs a lot of money. I
(18:00):
went to expensive schools. I paid every penny myself. I
wouldn't let my parents help me. I did take out
one student loan. I paid back fifty eight dollars and
five cents every year, every month for ten years, and
I paid it off. But I was tapped out. I mean,
live in paycheck to paycheck, and it's not fun. Now
Americans not only living paycheck to paycheck. Fifty six percent
(18:21):
of Americans cannot afford a one thousand dollars expense that
it's unexpected. I mean, I've been there. It sucks, it's awful,
and there's a lot of anxiety, fear, tension that builds
up and family households. You know what is the number one?
You know what are the number of top issues? Couples
fight about Number one's money. They fight it usually there's
(18:44):
a spender and there's a saver.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You need to kind of be on the same page
unless you have a lot of money. That doesn't matter.
And anyway, so we're you know, for exposing this and
working for free on top of everything else, and also
thinking about and building a company called Neuralink, which is
working on ways to use artificial intelligence in the human brain.
(19:10):
Not to put ships in people's heads, good for you,
conspiracy people, that's not what it's designed for or being
designed for, but to help the blind see again. And
I was shocked at how optimistic Elon is of that
possibility and the idea that people with spinal cord injuries
can get up and walk again one day with this tech.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I love it, and.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yet he and I won't give you way the answer.
But Donald Trump, I went through this whole list of
what Elon does, and Donald Trump's observation about what he
is doing now versus all of these incredible things was
a fascinating answer. I mean, I've done a lot of interviews.
I've been blessed to do a lot of interviews. You
(19:54):
give me this microphone every day, you give me that
camera every night, thank you. But I tried to to
get to the bottom of it, especially in light of
the never ending assault against this man who's donating his
time and genius to his country. The guy that helped
out the people after Hurricane Helene that had were cut
off from communicating with the rest of the world. The
(20:17):
guy that helped out the people in California after the wildfires.
The guy that's going to rescue astronauts in space.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
That guy. It's infuriating to me. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Here's a small clip little air Tonight nine Eastern on
Handiny on Fox of Elon Musk with Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I mean, I used to be adored by the left.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You not anyone less I mean less, I really did it.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
I mean this whole sort of like you know, it's
like Trump duration syndrome, and you know, you don't realize
how real this is until like it's you can't reason
with people. So like I was at a friend's birthday
party in Ali, just a birthday dinner, and if there
was like a nice quiet dinner and everything was everyone
was behaving onally.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And then I happened to.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Mention, this is before the election, com Antho Tree, before
after you mentioned the president's name, and it was like
they got shot with a dart in the jugular that
contained like the methamphetamine.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And Raby's okay, And.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I'm like, what is Guys like you just can't have
like a normal conversation and it's like it's like that
to become completely irrational.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I mean, I can't say it any better, Linda, I'm
curious what you think of that.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I mean, I think he's a very interesting guy.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
And I think anybody, in my opinion, anybody who was
willing to put their entire life on hold, which he's
kind of not.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
I mean, he's still working his ass.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Off, but they're doing everything they can at their own
expense to help put you know, honest policies in and
be transparent and sit down and just kind of go
against the grain. Like I feel like a lot of
these people in Hollywood and big tech and sort of
you know, Silicon Valley, which he sort of was in
that world.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
For a long time. Donald Trump too.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
And when you step away and you start to feel
back what's actually happening and tell the truth. I mean, wow,
how amazing and how brave of both of them to
kind of step out and say, yeah, it might be
fun for a little while to be in the cool
kids club, but I'm going to do the honest thing.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
And that's what they're doing. I'm impressed. I'm excited to
see what they say to you.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I want to talk about derangement syndrome both Woopi Goldberg
and some guy Tom Costello.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Where was this?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It had to be on MSDNC. I'm just guessing. Am
I right about that?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Had to be?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
It was actually NBC because it's a Canadian dude.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Oh, same thing. Okay, so they're blaming Trump now.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
There was an FAA report that came out that was
very clear as it relates to the lack of safety
and security. It was in September twenty twenty three that
they're over two thousand air traffic controllers short and their
staffing standards were DEI related. I mean the DEI policies,
(22:59):
you know, included hiring people with psychological deficiencies and mental
health issues and and and people that suffered from epilepsy
and by the way. I have compassion for all these people,
but you can't be an air traffic controller. He just can't.
And now, so this plane goes down in Toronto, Canada.
(23:21):
Did I say that right, Linda, Toronto, Canada. By the way,
I got to give a shout out to the fans
in Boston for booing the Canadian national anthem after they
did that to the US.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
And they're blaming Trump, Well, this is because he's cutting
down the federal workforce, ignoring what we knew was a
problem caused by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I mean,
this is exactly what did Elon call it. You know,
a combination of Trump terranger and syndrome. You know, rabies, meats,
(23:56):
metha health fhetamine, methan, rabies. There is a great combination.
Just because he supports Donald Trump. Now I've experienced this myself.
I won't add that to the many reasons I'm not
in New York anymore. And you know of incidents, many
of which I have not talked about publicly. It's ridiculous.
All right, let's get to our busy phones. Let's say
(24:19):
hi to Let's see Scott in Utah. What's up, Scott?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Great, Charlen, Thanks for taking.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
My call, Thank you for calling. Glad you checked in.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Yes, sir, I'd like to touch on the eel on
Musk situation. But everybody's been a kid on the left
about he's getting all this personal information and you give
it out on a regular basis. I just did. I'm
out of sure its quote. They got my solid security number,
of my address, my phone, my email, so.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
It's standard operating procedures.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I mean, you got to be careful in this day
and age of identity theft, which is where LifeLock comes in.
But you know, I mean I give it out on
all the time, my social security number. I'm sure people
could find it. I mean, there's more information about me,
thank god. A lot of it's fake and they get
a lot of things wrong. And I never correct when
the media gets something wrong about me, I just let
(25:19):
it go because I can't sue them, but I just
let it. But you know, what, your personal information is everywhere.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
So there's going to be a few letters added to
doge you know, investigations. I think there's gonna be some
charges put up, you know, and I think they're gonna
you know, pay the pay the piper, then go to jail.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Well said, I'm telling you right now, and you know
what what theyre left is really angry about is they
they abused our money with corruption at the highest level,
and they've been exposed. That was what I walked away
with with the interview with President Trump and Elon Musk. Anyway, Scott,
(26:01):
appreciate you, man, God bless you. Larry Michigan. Next Sean
Hannity Show, What's up, Larry?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
How are you? It says you're a retired economics teacher.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
Yes, and I feel like in this time where we're
saving all these millions and billions of dollars. The thing
I found when I taught high school kids' economics and
then when I deal with the public as well. The
point is these numbers are so large they aren't humanized.
There's no way to relate to them. So when I
told my student, you know, a billion dollars is like
a person who earns fifty thousand dollars their salary being
(26:33):
being taken for, you know, ten thousand years, I said,
that's how much money that is. And or if you
want to buy a new truck, it's about fifty thousand dollars, right,
not when they save a billion dollars. That's like saving
twenty thousand new trucks. It helps people grasp the magnitude
of what's going on right now so that we can
(26:55):
win the war in the public square, because we're going
to need to do that, and that I just want
to humanize these numbers and relate it to something that
the average American can understand. Fifty thousand dollars the average
you know, So that's that's all I was trying to say.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh, I'm glad, I'm glad you said it, because you
know what, millions, billions, trillions, It just goes over people's heads,
right And maybe you know understand we're now going to
be close to forty trillion in debt based on this
year's budget put together by Biden and Harris and the
idea that we're spending all of this money on radical
(27:34):
environmentalism in other nations and DEI and other nations, and
wokeism and transgenderism and LGBTQ plus initiatives in other countries,
and we're not paying down that debt, securing our borders,
deporting illegals, shoring up safety and security, in our towns
and our cities, fixing our educational system, you know, laying
(27:57):
the foundation for America to be the wealthy energy company
on Earth and building the next generation of weaponry is unconscionable.
It is a disgusting abuse of our money, and we're
getting to the bottom of it. And they just hate
the people that are exposing it. And I don't care anyway.
I hope you'll like Elon must and I think you will.
(28:19):
I've walked away like I don't. I just I really
like the guy. I really thought, you know everything. I
wish I had a brain like his. I don't. I'm
not that smart, but he's smart, brilliant, actually beyond any understanding.
That's gonna wrap things up for today. I want to
(28:42):
remind you. I mean, it was one of the more
memorable interviews I think I've ever done. President Trump and
Elon Musk. The people that are being viciously attacked by
the radical left in this country, by Democrats, the state
run legacy media mob. And you know, it's inexplicable to
me considering the saving all of us a fortune and
(29:05):
the discovering waste, fraud, abuse and corruption or eleven mubbody
ever imagined, and stealing from the people that make this
country great, who want average only makes sixty six thousand
dollars a year, and we're stealing from our kids and grandkids. Anyway,
that's nine Eastern m. Fox President Trump, Elon Musk will
see you tonight. Back here tomorrow. Thank you for making
the show possible.
All right, News roundup and information overload our here's our
toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred and nine to
four one Sean. If you want to be a part
of the program, don't forget Our interview with President Trump.
Yla Musk is for the full hour tonight on Hannity.
We actually went longer. We're going to run part two
tomorrow night. Now, like all things President Trump, things are moving,
(00:24):
you know, at warp speed, and we've never seen anything
like it. And the progress is tremendous. It's not just
doge and it's not just you know, moving forward with
executive actions and orders. It is you know, the President
has a very ambitious agenda to get the economy back
on track, help America become energy dominant, getting rid of
(00:46):
those people that didn't respect our laws, borters and sovereignty.
But then he's doing a ton of work abroad, which
is phenomenal. We see you know, we saw King Abdullah
last week open to the idea. And President Trump will
go into Gaza. I mean, the media focused on all
the wrong parts of it. He's willing to demilitarize it,
(01:09):
clean out all of the rubble, considering it's basically rubble
and take away any weaponry and work with Arab all
eyes and get this place cleaned up and develop it
into what could be one of the most beautiful places
in the Middle East with water from property. And I
(01:29):
think that's what's most interested. You know, some of these
these these Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and Cutter
and Jordan and elsewhere, they don't want never ending war
in the Middle East. And they've all wanted to diversify
their portfolios. They know America is going to really become
(01:50):
energy dominant under Trump, so there has been a lot
of money invested in diversification. So that's moving forward, and
hopefully Iran will be dealt with. And that means the Iranians,
you have to cut off their finances at some point.
Their refineries need to go, and the nuclear sites need
to go. The world cannot risk a nuclear arm Durant
(02:11):
all right, that's on the one hand. On the over
in Europe, and I don't care that they they didn't
like getting casteized by JD.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Vans.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I thought his speech was dead on accurate. NATO countries
now must begin the process of paying their fair share.
It was interesting to watch the you know, even the
head of NATO make the comment that, yeah, we need
to step up and start paying more money. The NATO
(02:42):
Secretary General say saying in European countries have much more
to do to increase defense spending. They do, and they
and Trump onwanns NATO members to increase defense spending to
five percent of GDP, which is what they should do.
And they shouldn't have speech limitations the way they do
in Europe, and they shouldn't have tariffs on America the
(03:02):
way they do in Europe and the way they do
in Canada, and the way they do in India and
the way they do in Brazil. So we're making progress
on all these fronts again at the speed of light.
Probably the most the biggest challenges are number one geopolitical foe,
and that of course would be China. And China have
got outraged after the Trump State Department deleted a key
(03:26):
phrase on Taiwan relations and anyway Taiwan had previously been
stated we do not support Taiwan independence. That phrase was
removed on Thursday and continues to be absent, which is
really annoyed the communist Chinese. Communist Chinese, they think they
(03:46):
want to have a trade war with Donald Trump. Their
economy is in a bit of a tail spit number one.
They need US imports for their economy desperately, and I
imagine there's going to be a deal down the road
to be made there too. And I would imagine most
of these countries, with Donald Trump's new policy of terror fresiprocity,
that that's going to be a big deal anyway. One
(04:08):
of the people in the forefront of all are national
security issues, and he's a friend of the program and
he's one of the top conservative leaders in the US.
Senate Tom Cotton is with us from Arkansas. He has
a new book out today, Seven Things you Can't Say
about China. We want to talk to him about that,
and you know, peace in Europe and peace in the
Middle East. Senator, how are you. Congratulations, Thank you for
(04:31):
being with us. We have it on an Amazon dot com,
Anity dot com. It's now bookstores around the country.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Hey, thank you, Sean. Thanks for having me on to
talk about Seven Things you Can't Say about China. And
you're right, China is the worst threat that our nation faces,
maybe the worst we've ever faced, because it's the only
nation that has an economy nearly as large as ours,
it's so deeply integrated as ours because of the failures
of leaders at both parties. Really going back to the
nineteen nineties to aid and event China's rise that's underwritten,
(05:00):
this rapid military build up that's given it vast amounts
of influence inside of America in our businesses and Wall
Street on college campuses and our governments, and what I
do in seven things can't say about China's really ringing
the along beil. Most Americans have a justly low opinion
of communist China, but they often don't hear the full
(05:20):
case about it and about China's crimes and its aggression
against the United States, in part because of our leaps
too often are compromised by China.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Well, we know generally that they they don't they have
unfair trade practice is we know generally about their intellectual
property stuff. We know generally about their massive military build ups,
especially in the last decade. We know about their hostile
maneuverings during the Biden years, even against American fighter jets
(05:51):
and international airspace, and against our navy and international waterways.
We know their territorial ambitions as it relates to Taiwan,
and we know that they have been the most resistant
country from even talking or doing a deal with Donald Trump,
although I think that's going to change. But what are
the other things that people really need to know about
(06:11):
our top geopolitical foe, because they're the most mysterious of
all of them. We know that the Chinese hacked the
Trump administration, Donald Trump himself JB Vance, the entire campaign,
which annoys me that we're hackabowl. I don't think we
should be hacka bull by the Chinese, and I hope
we're doing the same thing back to them, but they
(06:33):
certainly are not playing fair.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
On the international stage.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, Sean. The title of the book Seven Things You
Can't Say about China highlights the influence that's pervasive in
America because we've helped China become so rich, because we're
so interdependent with China. In many cases, we're just dependent
on China. That has given them great influence in our society.
If you're called five years ago, I think it was
five years ago this week. I first said, you know,
(07:01):
I think this coronavirus from Muhan came from that lab,
not from the food market. Because they're researching coronavirus is there,
and there's no bats in the area, and the lady
running the lab is called the fat Lady, and they
have bad safety practices. Now, I expected Chinese communist officials
to jump down my throat on that, but you also
had Americans at a lead institutions who are willing to
(07:21):
man the ramparts on behalf of China, like the Washington Post,
like the CNN, like New York Times, to say that
al I was peddling with fringe debunks conspiracy theories, when
really all I was doing was using the basic common
sense that most Americans have and assessing the facts in
front of our eyes. Or consider Hollywood, Sean, I mean,
when it was the last time you saw a movie
(07:42):
with the Chinese villain? You have it because Hollywood movie
studios are dependent on access to very large, lucrative Chinese
movie markets. And consider our news networks too, Sean. Fox
News is the only network that is not owned by
or affiliated with one of those movie studios, is eyes
at Fox. It's the network that gives us the most unbiased, unvarnished,
(08:05):
fair and clear eyed treatment of Communist China.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Nola.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I don't think it is everywhere you turn in American society,
you can see this kind of Chinese communist influence in
a way you did not see with Soviet Russia. Sure
they had influence operations and they had spies, but because
they didn't have the same degree of economic linkage, you
didn't see so many people who were always rushing to
man the ramparts on behalf of Russia the way to
(08:31):
do on behalf of China today?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know, And what is the answer? I mean, I
imagine like Ukraine and Russia. I mean, there was there
was some criticism of Secretary of State Rubio for a
meeting with Russians to kick star peace talks, But there
have been private conversations going on the entire time. Donald
Trump got into office, and he's only in week five
with President Zelensky when he talked to Putin. Then he
(08:56):
talked to Zelensky, And I guess the plan is is
that at some point once did I guess a potential
deal is in the works, that they're all going to
meet together. How does it play out for China before
I go back to Europe.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Well, I think part of the answer, Sean is recognizing
that we had a problem and too few people did
until President Trump was elected first and in twenty seventeen.
You know, he had been founding the alarm about China
for some time, and there's no question he's the toughest
president on communists China since the end of the Cold
War and maybe since now when the Chinese Communists took
power in nineteen forty nine. I mean, the main competitor
(09:33):
at the Eisenhower, and Eisenhower threatened to nuke them twice
to give you a sense of how tough the competition
would be. But we need to sound the alarm. We
need to highlight what China is doing inside our country,
what they're doing to our kids, to our businesses, to
our schools, to our universities, and our government. We need,
to the greatest extent we can delink our economy from
(09:54):
China's the commomy. They're not going to be able to
do that entirely at this late hour, but on critical
things rare earth minerals that are essential to a modern
electronic digital economy, or basic pharmaceuticals like antibiotics and the
seed of minicin and ibuprofen, we can no longer depend
on China for such things. Because they have said that
they will hold it over ahead in a moment of crisis.
(10:15):
And they've done it to other nations.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, I mean that to me is critical. And they
have and they've gotten away with it from other individuals.
I mean, and they've treated other countries. I mean, I
can't imagine China now they don't like what Donald Trump
has done in terms of removing this provision about Taiwan
on their website. However, knowing Donald Trump as well as
(10:42):
I do, everything with him is a negotiation. He's just
begun negotiations with China, hasn't he.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, And it's just like what he did at the
end of his first administration when he declared officially that
China's committing a genocide against religious and ethnic minorities in
Northwest China, and Chinese communists went berserk over that. Exactly
what Ronald Reagan did in demanding that Soviet Union stop
oppressing its own people. It's just another pressure point on
the government in Beijing. So when you sit down, the
(11:10):
list of issues that you want to raise is much
longer than the list of issues they want to raise.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
A right, quick break, we'll come back more with Senator
Tom Cotton. Seven things you can't say about China, Hannity
dot com, Amazon dot com. Yeah, China's an evil empire,
preparing for war, waging an economic world war, infiltrating our
society and infiltrating our government, and coming for our kids,
and they could win.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That's scary.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
More were Tom Cotton on the other side. And we
(11:55):
continue now with Senator Tom Cotton. By the way, there's
a new book out, Seven Things You Cannot Say About China.
So let me ask you this. Let's move on. We
have we have China, I think our number one top
geopolitical foe. And I've got to believe that Donald Trump
has begun negotiating with China. I do know from sources
he's already spoken to presidency, so there is a dialogue
(12:18):
that has begun. Then we've got, you know, obviously, if
the President has said publicly that both Selenski and Putin
want more in Europe to stop. And when I had
President Zelensky on TV a couple of weeks ago, I
said to him, you know that the president wants a
negotiated settlement that will mean you won't be a member
(12:39):
of NATO and you'll probably give up some land. And
there's there's going to be some involvement in the US
at some point as well. I think that's where we
end up.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Do you agree, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Don't think there's a lot of mystery about what might
and might not happen in these negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
I think we were left with a terrible mess by Biden. No,
he tempted Putin to invade in the first place. He
pussy footed around for three years, and it's clear now
in retrospect his strategy all along was to lose just
after the election. So that's what we all inherit in
(13:11):
the mess we have to deal with. And I think
right now the best solution, and that sounds to me
like this is what President Trump president Zelenski are aiming at,
is to have a durable and lasting truth that in
sofiding and into killing. Especially for Ukraine, which is much
smaller than.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Russia, you'd think, yeah, I'm sorry, I thought you were finished.
Do you think that in the Middle East that the
President's idea of cleaning out Gaza, demilitarizing it, and rebuilding it.
Do you think neighboring countries will buy into that?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, I hope they will. I mean because obviously Israel
isn't responsible for rebuilding God. That Israel was invaded brutally
in an unprovoked, atrocious fashion, and I don't think we
should spend American taxpayer dollars on it either. It's the
countries in the region who have an interest in having
a stable, peaceful God. So I hope that they'll buy
into some version of that vision that President Trump can support,
(14:05):
the Prime Minister and Yahoo can support, and our air
partners can support as well.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I agree, Well, Senator, we think the world your congratulations
Senator Tom Cotton, Arkansas. He does have a new book out.
It's in bookstores around the country. Amazon dot Comhanity dot com.
Seven things you can't say about China. China will be
the most difficult for our nation that we have to
deal with for a lot of different reasons, and certainly
(14:31):
they have the most in terms of military might. That
should concern every American, which is why we need the
next generation of weaponry and not only catch up on
hypersonic technology, but in other areas where we might be
deficient and surpass any technology that they have. And I
like the President's idea for an iron dome that will
(14:53):
cover the country, Senator Cotton, thank you, sir, appreciate it.
So I hope people, I will tell you I've done
a lot of interviews in my life.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I often get asked what it was your favorite interview.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
This was This is at the top one of my
favorite interviews of all time, and with President Trump and
Elon Musk, and I hope you find it valuable and worthwhile.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And here's a little clip of.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
What you will see tonight, and I'll tell you it
was really just a conversation. And yes, I asked the
conflict of interest questions, and yes I asked about Social
Security and Medicare and the Department of Education, all the
questions people want. But we're running a full hour tonight.
Well part two tomorrow is not for a full hour.
But you know, what I've learned about Elon Musk fascinates me.
(15:43):
You know, from the time that he founded PayPal and
ziplock whatever that was.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I don't even remember what that one was.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Space x he was the chief engineer and he funded
it and the first private company to ever get into orbit.
And he's launched all these satellites and Starlink now covers
one hundred countries. You know, and then I look at
his his other ventures into Tesla for example. You know,
(16:11):
even jokes in the interview. Liberals used to like them,
and they don't anymore. I mean, they have called him
every name in the book because he has exposed the
most fraudulent, wasteful, disgusting misuse of public funds, the greatest
amount of corruption that we've ever seen in our lifetime.
(16:34):
I mean, it makes what Citizens Against Government Waste, which
was a great organization back in the day, what they
used to find, pale in comparison. And it's just it's
now on steroids and human growth hormone, you know, because
he's now they're now discovering what will end up being
hundreds and hundreds of billions of wasted hard earned tax dollars.
(16:56):
And you wonder why we have thirty seven trillion in
and under this current budget, which is the Biden Harris
budget until the new fiscal year starts October one, unless
they can do reconciliation, which would help that, you know,
we're going to live under. And it just is so outrageous.
And when you factor in we're stealing from our kids
(17:18):
and grandkids, and stealing from you and stealing from the
average hard working American, the people that make this country great,
on average, makes sixty six thousand dollars a year. Okay,
by the time you pay your rent, your mortgage, your
car payment, your insurance, your grocery bill, especially with Biden
(17:39):
Harris inflation, high gas prices, if people are tapped out.
I've lived tapped out. It sucks, it's not fun, and
not just for one summer. For the early years of
my adult life, I was tapped out, even though I
was working, and I was trying to pay my way
through college, and it costs a lot of money. I
(18:00):
went to expensive schools. I paid every penny myself. I
wouldn't let my parents help me. I did take out
one student loan. I paid back fifty eight dollars and
five cents every year, every month for ten years, and
I paid it off. But I was tapped out. I mean,
live in paycheck to paycheck, and it's not fun. Now
Americans not only living paycheck to paycheck. Fifty six percent
(18:21):
of Americans cannot afford a one thousand dollars expense that
it's unexpected. I mean, I've been there. It sucks, it's awful,
and there's a lot of anxiety, fear, tension that builds
up and family households. You know what is the number one?
You know what are the number of top issues? Couples
fight about Number one's money. They fight it usually there's
(18:44):
a spender and there's a saver.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You need to kind of be on the same page
unless you have a lot of money. That doesn't matter.
And anyway, so we're you know, for exposing this and
working for free on top of everything else, and also
thinking about and building a company called Neuralink, which is
working on ways to use artificial intelligence in the human brain.
(19:10):
Not to put ships in people's heads, good for you,
conspiracy people, that's not what it's designed for or being
designed for, but to help the blind see again. And
I was shocked at how optimistic Elon is of that
possibility and the idea that people with spinal cord injuries
can get up and walk again one day with this tech.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I love it, and.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yet he and I won't give you way the answer.
But Donald Trump, I went through this whole list of
what Elon does, and Donald Trump's observation about what he
is doing now versus all of these incredible things was
a fascinating answer. I mean, I've done a lot of interviews.
I've been blessed to do a lot of interviews. You
(19:54):
give me this microphone every day, you give me that
camera every night, thank you. But I tried to to
get to the bottom of it, especially in light of
the never ending assault against this man who's donating his
time and genius to his country. The guy that helped
out the people after Hurricane Helene that had were cut
off from communicating with the rest of the world. The
(20:17):
guy that helped out the people in California after the wildfires.
The guy that's going to rescue astronauts in space.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
That guy. It's infuriating to me. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Here's a small clip little air Tonight nine Eastern on
Handiny on Fox of Elon Musk with Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I mean, I used to be adored by the left.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You not anyone less I mean less, I really did it.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
I mean this whole sort of like you know, it's
like Trump duration syndrome, and you know, you don't realize
how real this is until like it's you can't reason
with people. So like I was at a friend's birthday
party in Ali, just a birthday dinner, and if there
was like a nice quiet dinner and everything was everyone
was behaving onally.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And then I happened to.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Mention, this is before the election, com Antho Tree, before
after you mentioned the president's name, and it was like
they got shot with a dart in the jugular that
contained like the methamphetamine.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And Raby's okay, And.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I'm like, what is Guys like you just can't have
like a normal conversation and it's like it's like that
to become completely irrational.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I mean, I can't say it any better, Linda, I'm
curious what you think of that.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
I mean, I think he's a very interesting guy.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
And I think anybody, in my opinion, anybody who was
willing to put their entire life on hold, which he's
kind of not.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
I mean, he's still working his ass.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Off, but they're doing everything they can at their own
expense to help put you know, honest policies in and
be transparent and sit down and just kind of go
against the grain. Like I feel like a lot of
these people in Hollywood and big tech and sort of
you know, Silicon Valley, which he sort of was in
that world.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
For a long time. Donald Trump too.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
And when you step away and you start to feel
back what's actually happening and tell the truth. I mean, wow,
how amazing and how brave of both of them to
kind of step out and say, yeah, it might be
fun for a little while to be in the cool
kids club, but I'm going to do the honest thing.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
And that's what they're doing. I'm impressed. I'm excited to
see what they say to you.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I want to talk about derangement syndrome both Woopi Goldberg
and some guy Tom Costello.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Where was this?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It had to be on MSDNC. I'm just guessing. Am
I right about that?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Had to be?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
It was actually NBC because it's a Canadian dude.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Oh, same thing. Okay, so they're blaming Trump now.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
There was an FAA report that came out that was
very clear as it relates to the lack of safety
and security. It was in September twenty twenty three that
they're over two thousand air traffic controllers short and their
staffing standards were DEI related. I mean the DEI policies,
(22:59):
you know, included hiring people with psychological deficiencies and mental
health issues and and and people that suffered from epilepsy
and by the way. I have compassion for all these people,
but you can't be an air traffic controller. He just can't.
And now, so this plane goes down in Toronto, Canada.
(23:21):
Did I say that right, Linda, Toronto, Canada. By the way,
I got to give a shout out to the fans
in Boston for booing the Canadian national anthem after they
did that to the US.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
And they're blaming Trump, Well, this is because he's cutting
down the federal workforce, ignoring what we knew was a
problem caused by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I mean,
this is exactly what did Elon call it. You know,
a combination of Trump terranger and syndrome. You know, rabies, meats,
(23:56):
metha health fhetamine, methan, rabies. There is a great combination.
Just because he supports Donald Trump. Now I've experienced this myself.
I won't add that to the many reasons I'm not
in New York anymore. And you know of incidents, many
of which I have not talked about publicly. It's ridiculous.
All right, let's get to our busy phones. Let's say
(24:19):
hi to Let's see Scott in Utah. What's up, Scott?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Great, Charlen, Thanks for taking.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
My call, Thank you for calling. Glad you checked in.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Yes, sir, I'd like to touch on the eel on
Musk situation. But everybody's been a kid on the left
about he's getting all this personal information and you give
it out on a regular basis. I just did. I'm
out of sure its quote. They got my solid security number,
of my address, my phone, my email, so.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
It's standard operating procedures.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I mean, you got to be careful in this day
and age of identity theft, which is where LifeLock comes in.
But you know, I mean I give it out on
all the time, my social security number. I'm sure people
could find it. I mean, there's more information about me,
thank god. A lot of it's fake and they get
a lot of things wrong. And I never correct when
the media gets something wrong about me, I just let
(25:19):
it go because I can't sue them, but I just
let it. But you know, what, your personal information is everywhere.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
So there's going to be a few letters added to
doge you know, investigations. I think there's gonna be some
charges put up, you know, and I think they're gonna
you know, pay the pay the piper, then go to jail.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Well said, I'm telling you right now, and you know
what what theyre left is really angry about is they
they abused our money with corruption at the highest level,
and they've been exposed. That was what I walked away
with with the interview with President Trump and Elon Musk. Anyway, Scott,
(26:01):
appreciate you, man, God bless you. Larry Michigan. Next Sean
Hannity Show, What's up, Larry?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
How are you? It says you're a retired economics teacher.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
Yes, and I feel like in this time where we're
saving all these millions and billions of dollars. The thing
I found when I taught high school kids' economics and
then when I deal with the public as well. The
point is these numbers are so large they aren't humanized.
There's no way to relate to them. So when I
told my student, you know, a billion dollars is like
a person who earns fifty thousand dollars their salary being
(26:33):
being taken for, you know, ten thousand years, I said,
that's how much money that is. And or if you
want to buy a new truck, it's about fifty thousand dollars, right,
not when they save a billion dollars. That's like saving
twenty thousand new trucks. It helps people grasp the magnitude
of what's going on right now so that we can
(26:55):
win the war in the public square, because we're going
to need to do that, and that I just want
to humanize these numbers and relate it to something that
the average American can understand. Fifty thousand dollars the average
you know, So that's that's all I was trying to say.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh, I'm glad, I'm glad you said it, because you
know what, millions, billions, trillions, It just goes over people's heads,
right And maybe you know understand we're now going to
be close to forty trillion in debt based on this
year's budget put together by Biden and Harris and the
idea that we're spending all of this money on radical
(27:34):
environmentalism in other nations and DEI and other nations, and
wokeism and transgenderism and LGBTQ plus initiatives in other countries,
and we're not paying down that debt, securing our borders,
deporting illegals, shoring up safety and security, in our towns
and our cities, fixing our educational system, you know, laying
(27:57):
the foundation for America to be the wealthy energy company
on Earth and building the next generation of weaponry is unconscionable.
It is a disgusting abuse of our money, and we're
getting to the bottom of it. And they just hate
the people that are exposing it. And I don't care anyway.
I hope you'll like Elon must and I think you will.
(28:19):
I've walked away like I don't. I just I really
like the guy. I really thought, you know everything. I
wish I had a brain like his. I don't. I'm
not that smart, but he's smart, brilliant, actually beyond any understanding.
That's gonna wrap things up for today. I want to
(28:42):
remind you. I mean, it was one of the more
memorable interviews I think I've ever done. President Trump and
Elon Musk. The people that are being viciously attacked by
the radical left in this country, by Democrats, the state
run legacy media mob. And you know, it's inexplicable to
me considering the saving all of us a fortune and
(29:05):
the discovering waste, fraud, abuse and corruption or eleven mubbody
ever imagined, and stealing from the people that make this
country great, who want average only makes sixty six thousand
dollars a year, and we're stealing from our kids and grandkids. Anyway,
that's nine Eastern m. Fox President Trump, Elon Musk will
see you tonight. Back here tomorrow. Thank you for making
the show possible.
