Speaker 1 (00:00):
States Richard Arnold. Morning, good morning. So I was always
going to end in tears, wasn't it? In one way?
So I wasn't think who would have predicted? I mean, well,
everyone would have predicted right, this bruising breakup. In fact,
everyone did, and now it's happening. Without me, Trump would
have lost the election, tweets Musk today, he spent a
course more than two hundred and fifty million bucks used
on the Trump reelection bid, such ingratitude rights Musk. This
(00:23):
after President Trump laid into Elon during an Oval office
meeting today with Germany's new Chancellor, Frederic Metz. After Musk
tweeted kill the Bill, the budget plan that Trump has
made the centerpiece of his legislative efforts, Trump was quiet
for a couple of days. Well, now he's letting it rip.
Trump posted on social media, I'm very disappointed in Elon Musk.
I've done a lot for him. Trump then rolled out
(00:44):
a series of attacks on Elon, whom he says didn't
have a problem with the so called big Beautiful Bill
until he left the White House just the other day.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know
what well anymore. I was surprised.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Trump then gave a behind the scenes account of Musk
appearing at his White House fair will last week with
a black eye given to him your recall, according to
Mask by his four year old son named X A
E A twelve little X for short. When Elon says,
he told his child to punch him in the face,
and he did.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Let's review.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So his account of it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Was a man who was very happy when he stood
behind the oval desk, and even with the black eye.
I said, you want a little make up, We'll get
you a little mecca, but he said no, I don't
think so, which is interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, it's not an oval desk. It's rectangular. The Resolute
desk name from the British exploration ship of that name. Anyway,
Trump went on in respect of all.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Of this, people leave my administration and they love us,
and then at some point they miss it so badly,
and some of them embrace it, and some of them
actually become hostile. I don't know what it is. It's
sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it.
But we'd have it with others too. They leave, and
(02:06):
they wake up in the morning and the glamour's gone.
The whole world is different, and they become.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Hussle Trump derangements syndrome the American president and the world's
rich is men over splitting over the issues. Trump says
Elon Musk was teed off that they eliminated the ev
electric vehicle incentives from the Bunchet Bill and refused to
name Elon's mate to head the NASA Space Agency. Musk
crony Jared Isaacman, a Democrat, fumes Trump, adding that he
(02:34):
Trump won the election and gets certain privileges in relation
to this stuff. Again, Musk says such ingratitude, leading the
Daily Show Company team to assist what Elon got for
his political contribution.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Let's review all that Elon Musk has gained from his
two hundred and eighty eight million dollar investment into this presidency.
One hundred million and NASA contracts. He got to freeze
forty federal investigations against his companies, fired anybody who could
regulate or tax him, and he got the President of
the United States to plug his car company. And Trump
almost pronounced its name correctly. He loove Tessler.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Musque called the Trump budget. They discussed the abomination, says
he is only concerned about the country, not about money,
Perish had thought. The budget plan still combines more than
four trillion in tax cuts and others spending with less
than two trillion in cuts to healthcare and food aid
for the poor, leaving a two point four trillion additional
deaf as of blowouts, say the experts, on top of
(03:32):
existing thirty six trillion US national debt. How'd the phone
call go with you? Well, they say it was an
excellent phone call. That's what they say about pretty much
every one of these things. Busy time for Trump dealing
with foreign leaders. He spoke with she for about nineteen
minutes on trade issues. Was their first director chitchat since
the Trump tariff battles started. The talks occurred at the
(03:53):
Americans request. Trump then posted that the Chinese leader is
quote very tough and extremely hard to make a deal with.
The current US tarafon Chinese goods is thirty percent down
one hundred and forty five percent. Initially, the two men
agreed to visits in the future at time's not given.
They've said they want to revive trade talks after the
US accused Beajing of violating their recent Geneva agreements. Trump
(04:14):
also spoke with Russius Putin, who declared he plans a
very strong retaliation against Ukraine for that attack this week
on the Russian planes the bombers. Trump then compared the
war to a fight between two little kids who hate
each other, saying sometimes you just have to let them
fight it out for time before they can be peace.
Asked about further US sanctions on Russia, Trump again gave
(04:35):
no timetable, but says he will know within himself if
and when it is time for a tougher US policy.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yes, grasshopper, Oga, have a good one.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
We'll see you Monday. Richard Arnold stateside. For more from
