Cutting the Fat-Government Efficiency is Saving Taxpayer Dollars · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: How much do you love saving money as a taxpayer
0:04
Speaker 1: when it comes to waste, fraud, and abuse. Well, majority
0:10
Speaker 1: of Americans and polls are showing they're loving what Elon
0:13
Speaker 1: Musk is doing, even as unhinged drivers or well going
0:17
Speaker 1: crazy on the roadways, even attacking Tesla drivers. There is
0:22
Speaker 1: a new video that is out from Donald Trump and
0:25
Speaker 1: it is a video of an unhinged driver wiping out
0:28
Speaker 1: or i should say, whipping out a gun on a
0:31
Speaker 1: cybertruck during a road rage incident. Yes, that actually happened.
0:37
Speaker 1: These people are totally insane. Now why it is because
0:43
Speaker 1: very clearly they hate the fact that this man is
0:47
Speaker 1: changing the government and taking away the waste, the fraud,
0:51
Speaker 1: and the abuse that is going to leftists and radical organizations.
0:55
Speaker 1: Elon Muskin Doge also revealed some thing about social Security
1:01
Speaker 1: and fraud that should make every American angry. I'm all
1:05
Speaker 1: in favor of people getting so security that deserve it,
1:07
Speaker 1: those that are actually entitled to it.
1:10
Speaker 2: But not those that are not.
1:12
Speaker 1: And how bad is the fraud within social security?
1:16
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
1:18
Speaker 3: We learned forty percent of the phone calls that they
1:20
Speaker 3: get are from fraud stairs.
1:23
Speaker 2: That's right, almost half, Yes.
1:25
Speaker 4: And they steal people's social security. Is what happens is
1:29
Speaker 4: they call in, they say they claim to be a retiree.
1:34
Speaker 4: Then they and they convinced the post the social Security
1:37
Speaker 4: posts on the phone to change there where the money
1:40
Speaker 4: is flowing, it actually goes to some proster. Does this
1:44
Speaker 4: happening all day every day, and then and then somebody
1:46
Speaker 4: doesn't receive the social security it's because of all the
1:50
Speaker 4: fraudly poles in the social security system.
1:52
Speaker 5: How do you reassure people that what you all are
1:55
Speaker 5: doing is not going to affect their benefits.
1:58
Speaker 4: No, in fact, what we're doing will help their benefits.
2:02
Speaker 4: Legitimate people, as a result of the work of bage
2:04
Speaker 4: will receive more social Security, not less. When m F
2:07
Speaker 4: size that as a result of the work of bage,
2:10
Speaker 4: legitimate recipients of social security will receive more money, not
2:15
Speaker 4: less money. All right, we want to emphasize that point
2:18
Speaker 4: and let the record show that I said this and
2:23
Speaker 4: it will be proven out to be true. Let's let's
2:25
Speaker 4: check back on this in the future.
2:27
Speaker 5: So Washington Post, the Social Security Administration website, crashed four
2:30
Speaker 5: times in ten days this month because the servers.
2:32
Speaker 2: Were over there.
2:34
Speaker 1: You go back to just the basics forty of all
2:38
Speaker 1: the calls to security are fraudsters. Fraudsters call in claim
2:42
Speaker 1: that to be the retiree, and then they convince the
2:44
Speaker 1: operator to change where the money is flowing.
2:46
Speaker 2: That seems like a.
2:49
Speaker 1: Problem that you should probably fix and maybe adjust.
2:54
Speaker 2: Now what does the left say? Oh, the Left's like no, no, no,
2:56
Speaker 2: you don't understand.
2:59
Speaker 1: You can't do anything or stop anything that deals with
3:03
Speaker 1: with with you know, correcting these problems because we love
3:07
Speaker 1: the fraud, we love the waste. I mean, Dojes's Department
3:12
Speaker 1: of Labor has just canceled five hundred and seventy seven
3:15
Speaker 1: million in America last grants, including for gender equity in
3:19
Speaker 1: the quote Mexican workplace. I think we can all agree
3:24
Speaker 1: if you're saying that that is a good thing.
3:28
Speaker 2: I played for you earlier.
3:30
Speaker 1: Barack Obama saying the word government efficiency over and over
3:35
Speaker 1: again back in twenty eleven, saying we need to get
3:38
Speaker 1: our federal debt under control.
3:40
Speaker 2: Like that is what he was saying back then.
3:43
Speaker 1: No Democrats were burning up things back then because he
3:46
Speaker 1: said it right, Like, no one was burning the place down,
3:52
Speaker 1: No one was.
3:54
Speaker 2: You go to I'll give you another example here. You
3:58
Speaker 2: look at the.
3:59
Speaker 1: Mission of AHHS making sure that we have the best
4:05
Speaker 1: biomedical research.
4:07
Speaker 2: In the world. This is going to help save lives
4:09
Speaker 2: in America.
4:10
Speaker 1: This is something that Doge actually talked about, so you
4:14
Speaker 1: don't think that. In this staffer Brad Smith discusses Doade's
4:18
Speaker 1: efforts to make sure that their mission is actually carried out.
4:22
Speaker 3: Listen, I'd say there's a couple of things we're really
4:24
Speaker 3: committed to in our work at AHHS. Number one, making
4:27
Speaker 3: sure we continue to have the best biomedical research in
4:29
Speaker 3: the world. And number two making sure, which President Trump
4:32
Speaker 3: has said over and over again, that we one hundred
4:34
Speaker 3: percent protect Medicare and Medicaid. But there's a lot of opportunity.
4:38
Speaker 3: So if I take NIH as an example today, if
4:41
Speaker 3: you're inih researcher and you get one hundred dollars grant
4:43
Speaker 3: at your university today, you get to spend sixty of
4:46
Speaker 3: that and your university spends forty of that. The policy
4:49
Speaker 3: that we're proposing to make is that you get to
4:50
Speaker 3: spend eighty five of that and your university spends fifteen.
4:53
Speaker 3: So that's more money going directly to the scientists who
4:56
Speaker 3: are discovering new cures. Another example at NIH is today,
4:59
Speaker 3: they have twenty seven different centers that got created over
5:02
Speaker 3: time by Congress and they're typically by disease date or
5:05
Speaker 3: body system. There's seven hundred different IT systems today at NIH,
5:08
Speaker 3: seven hundred different IT software systems.
5:12
Speaker 6: They can't speak to each other, so they don't talk
5:13
Speaker 6: to them.
5:14
Speaker 3: They have twenty seven different CIOs, and so when you
5:16
Speaker 3: think about making great medical discoveries, you have to connect
5:20
Speaker 3: the data.
5:20
Speaker 5: Time said, twenty seven different chief information officers.
5:25
Speaker 4: Correct, correct, and most of your non technical.
5:28
Speaker 7: So there's a lot there.
5:28
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of opportunity. It will make science better,
5:31
Speaker 2: not yours twenty seven people with the same title. That's absurd.
5:38
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree that doesn't serve the
5:42
Speaker 1: American people. Well, that doesn't fix any of the problems, right,
5:48
Speaker 1: that is a disaster. I think we all can agree
5:53
Speaker 1: that is a disaster. By the way, you look at
5:57
Speaker 1: the interior, for example, here's what they're working on tyresly
6:02
Speaker 1: over there to save you money.
6:04
Speaker 5: You're reviewing contracts before they're approved for funding.
6:07
Speaker 7: What do you find.
6:09
Speaker 8: Well, Elon and Steve kind of stole my thunder a
6:11
Speaker 8: little bit, but I actually found that customer service survey
6:15
Speaker 8: contract I actually had an example of one right here.
6:19
Speaker 8: I could have done this in high school, and I
6:22
Speaker 8: found it about I found it on the weekends. Because
6:25
Speaker 8: under the Biden administration there was no departmental oversight within
6:29
Speaker 8: the Department of Interior whatsoever.
6:31
Speaker 2: None. We've now reviewing every.
6:34
Speaker 8: Single contract, every single grant, and when things come to
6:37
Speaker 8: my attention that don't make sense, I'm bringing him to
6:39
Speaker 8: Secretary Burgham and he's been fantastic. He's a businessman, he's
6:44
Speaker 8: very supportive of DOGE. It's been wonderful.
6:48
Speaker 2: I mean, this is just simple insanity.
6:52
Speaker 1: The team is working every day, including weekends, to save
6:55
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars and help balance the federal budget budget so
6:59
Speaker 1: we can pay down the national debt. They've individually reviewed
7:02
Speaker 1: thirty six thousand plus interior grants and contracts and have
7:05
Speaker 1: identified massive amounts of waste, fraud, and abuse already. He said,
7:10
Speaker 1: this is just common sense effort of government efficiency, and
7:13
Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to do here.
7:16
Speaker 2: We're not trying to ruin anybody's life. We're not trying
7:17
Speaker 2: to destroy anybody's life. We're not trying to do anything
7:20
Speaker 2: but give you sensible accountability. You go back to this
7:24
Speaker 2: and this should make you enraged.
7:27
Speaker 1: While we may have won this election, the fight to
7:29
Speaker 1: restore our great nation is only beginning, and now is
7:32
Speaker 1: the time to take a stand, and Patriot Mobile is
7:35
Speaker 1: leading the charge. It has never been easier to switch
7:39
Speaker 1: your cell phone than in twenty twenty five. With technology,
7:42
Speaker 1: you can do it literally over the phone with a
7:45
Speaker 1: code they send you. It is amazing. But here's the
7:48
Speaker 1: reason why I use Patriot Mobile now. One I save
7:52
Speaker 1: money over what I was paying before with Big Mobile.
7:55
Speaker 1: And two, I'm no longer supporting the radical left now.
7:58
Speaker 1: I didn't realize until someone told me just how radical
8:01
Speaker 1: Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are supporting organizations that
8:04
Speaker 1: pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic causes and organizations
8:09
Speaker 1: they're helping democrats get elect it at the local, state,
8:12
Speaker 1: and national level. That is actually why over a decade
8:15
Speaker 1: ago Patriot Mobile was started and they are now America's
8:19
Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider.
8:22
Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about coverage.
8:24
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, you have zero problems with coverage
8:28
Speaker 1: anymore because well, Patriot Mobile uses all three major networks.
8:32
Speaker 2: What does that mean for you?
8:33
Speaker 1: It means whatever coverage you're used to now you're going
8:36
Speaker 1: to stay exactly the same or you may even be
8:38
Speaker 1: able to improve it. But it will not be any
8:41
Speaker 1: issues when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have
8:43
Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this
8:47
Speaker 1: is where the magic happens. They take a portion of
8:50
Speaker 1: your bill every month and they give it back to
8:52
Speaker 1: organizations that support our first and our second amendments, that
8:55
Speaker 1: support the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our
8:59
Speaker 1: first real spondors, and are wounded warriors. And like I said,
9:03
Speaker 1: switching with technology now has never been easier. You keep
9:06
Speaker 1: your same phone you have now, keep your same phone number,
9:09
Speaker 1: and you can even upgrade to a new phone if
9:11
Speaker 1: you want to. They have a one hundred percent US
9:14
Speaker 1: based customer support team to help you find the perfect
9:17
Speaker 1: plan and to save money. And if you own a
9:19
Speaker 1: business or a small business, they have a division that
9:22
Speaker 1: just works on switching multiple lines over easily. So right now,
9:26
Speaker 1: go to Patriotmobile dot com, slash ferguson or call them
9:32
Speaker 1: nine to seven to two Patriot You're going to get
9:34
Speaker 1: a free month of service with the promo code ferguson.
9:37
Speaker 2: So switch the Patriot Mobile and make a difference.
9:39
Speaker 1: With every call you make Patriot mobile dot com slash
9:43
Speaker 1: ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot. Let's talk
9:47
Speaker 1: about the over three hundred million of small business administration
9:51
Speaker 1: government loans you paid for and where were they going.
9:56
Speaker 2: Elon Musk exposed that as well.
9:59
Speaker 4: For example, there were over three hundred million dollars of
10:01
Speaker 4: a small business Administration loans that has been given out
10:05
Speaker 4: to people under the age of eleven.
10:07
Speaker 9: What changed to add to it is three hundred million
10:09
Speaker 9: under the age of eleven and over three hundred million
10:11
Speaker 9: to over the age of one hundred and twenty.
10:14
Speaker 6: Definitely small business loans.
10:16
Speaker 4: Yes, the oldest American is one hundred and fourteen, so
10:19
Speaker 4: safe to say if their age is one hundred and
10:21
Speaker 4: fifteen or above, they're fake or they should be in
10:25
Speaker 4: the games. Spoke up world records, and we should not
10:29
Speaker 4: be giving out loans to babies.
10:31
Speaker 2: So the.
10:34
Speaker 4: Youngest recipient of a small Business Administration loan is a
10:37
Speaker 4: nine month year old, which is a very very concious
10:40
Speaker 4: baby we're talking about here, So obviously it was just
10:43
Speaker 4: fraudulent and what they and they do terrible things. They
10:46
Speaker 4: actually will see that a kid's been born, they will
10:48
Speaker 4: steal that kid's Social Security number and then take out
10:51
Speaker 4: a loan and leave that kid with a bad credit rating.
10:54
Speaker 2: And there was literally a baby.
10:56
Speaker 4: The terrible things are being done is what we're saying.
10:59
Speaker 4: For example, there were.
11:00
Speaker 1: Terrible things are being done, is what we're saying. You
11:04
Speaker 1: have a recipient of the SBA loan that is a
11:06
Speaker 1: nine month year old, obviously, which is fraudulent. Like, how
11:10
Speaker 1: the hell did you even think to send out a
11:13
Speaker 1: loan to a nine month old. I can tell you
11:15
Speaker 1: exactly how this stuff happens. It's called bribery. The Democratic Party,
11:21
Speaker 1: through SBA, decided to give out loans people they knew
11:24
Speaker 1: didn't deserve them. And the reason why was actually very clear,
11:28
Speaker 1: because they wanted to buy their votes. That's it, Like,
11:34
Speaker 1: that's the whole ballgame here. They wanted to say, here's
11:41
Speaker 1: money from us. We know you don't deserve this money,
11:44
Speaker 1: but this is what we are doing.
11:46
Speaker 2: We're giving you this money, right, We're like, we're giving
11:52
Speaker 2: you this money.
11:53
Speaker 1: I rarely, by the way, believe I agree with Kevin McCarthy,
11:57
Speaker 1: But what Kevin McCarthy said on Fox News, you know,
11:59
Speaker 1: I'm just not a ket McCarthy guy, right, I think
12:02
Speaker 1: he's kind of a rhino.
12:05
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan, but I will give credit where
12:08
Speaker 2: credits due.
12:10
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy actually said it right when it came to
12:13
Speaker 1: the issue of Doge.
12:14
Speaker 9: And here's what he said, every hard working tax where
12:17
Speaker 9: I sit back and say, I have somebody working for me.
12:21
Speaker 9: If you wanted to go out and get this work done,
12:23
Speaker 9: we would pay billions of dollars. Here here's the brightest minds,
12:27
Speaker 9: not just in America, in the world, volunteering, sacrificing, and
12:32
Speaker 9: he's getting attacked, I mean terrorist attacks against his companies
12:36
Speaker 9: because he's fighting for the individual. That's what's so amazing
12:40
Speaker 9: to me.
12:41
Speaker 10: He does did you hear that Las Vegas terrorist Tesla
12:45
Speaker 10: terrorists that they nab the federal charges. He's like a
12:47
Speaker 10: member of the Communist Party, the like every left wing
12:51
Speaker 10: progressive out of control group. He's a member, yeah, of
12:54
Speaker 10: cour axing electric cars. So that's what so these individuals
12:58
Speaker 10: who volunteered their time are burrowing in and what they're
13:01
Speaker 10: really finding out, Kevin, is that these government systems, which
13:06
Speaker 10: even back in the eighties I saw were completely outdated,
13:10
Speaker 10: are not only outdated, they're kind of dangerous in a
13:13
Speaker 10: way because they make us vulnerable.
13:15
Speaker 9: These are systems when the computer first started, were modernizing
13:19
Speaker 9: it so you can catch so you have accountability in government.
13:22
Speaker 9: Everything everybody says they want in their government, they're providing it.
13:25
Speaker 9: And it's going to save tremendous amount of money, one
13:27
Speaker 9: for the taxpayer, is going to provide greater service to
13:30
Speaker 9: the constituents. This is what people prave to be able
13:33
Speaker 9: to make happen.
13:35
Speaker 1: By the way, I agree with him. I just have
13:37
Speaker 1: to point out the obvious. Where was this Kevin McCarthy
13:40
Speaker 1: when he was a speaker at the House. Why wasn't
13:42
Speaker 1: he going after waste front abuse when he was one
13:44
Speaker 1: of the guys that was advocating basically internally for massive
13:49
Speaker 1: government expending, expenditures, increases in spending.
13:53
Speaker 2: Now what he said here I can agree with.
13:56
Speaker 1: I wish this was the guy that would have been
13:57
Speaker 1: in charge of the Republican Party along time ago.
14:01
Speaker 2: Like these are all of the major issues.
14:04
Speaker 1: Now that we're talking about that the American people are
14:07
Speaker 1: focused on, that the American people want, and it's about
14:11
Speaker 1: saving you money. Donald Trump announcing a twenty five percent tariff,
14:17
Speaker 1: by the way, on cars not made in the US.
14:20
Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of fodder over this,
14:23
Speaker 1: so I thought I would let you hear from the
14:24
Speaker 1: President in the Oval office.
14:28
Speaker 11: So this is the beginning of Liberation Day in America.
14:35
Speaker 6: We're going to take back just some of the money.
14:38
Speaker 11: That has been taken from us by people sitting behind
14:43
Speaker 11: this desk or another desk that's not quite as nice,
14:46
Speaker 11: but they have the choice of seven, as you know,
14:49
Speaker 11: and we're.
14:50
Speaker 6: Going to charge.
14:55
Speaker 11: Countries for doing business in our country and taking our
14:59
Speaker 11: jobs in our wealth, taking a lot of things that
15:02
Speaker 11: they've been taking over the years.
15:03
Speaker 6: They've taken so much out of our country.
15:06
Speaker 11: Friend and foe, and frankly, friend has been oftentimes much
15:09
Speaker 11: worse than foe.
15:11
Speaker 6: And this is very modest.
15:14
Speaker 11: What we're going to be doing is a twenty five
15:16
Speaker 11: percent tariff on all cars that are not made in
15:19
Speaker 11: the United States.
15:19
Speaker 6: If they're made in the United States, is absolutely not.
15:22
Speaker 11: Terrorf We start off with a two and a hared
15:24
Speaker 11: percent base, which is what we were at, and we
15:28
Speaker 11: go to.
15:28
Speaker 6: Twenty five percent.
15:30
Speaker 11: And basically, as you know, and as you've been seeing
15:32
Speaker 11: not reporting as accurately as it should be reported, because
15:35
Speaker 11: it's a massive story, business is coming back to the
15:39
Speaker 11: United States.
15:40
Speaker 6: So that they don't have to pay tariffs.
15:42
Speaker 11: And I think also because of November fifth, the election,
15:45
Speaker 11: they're very happy.
15:47
Speaker 1: Now this is complicated obviously, because there's like, well, hold
15:50
Speaker 1: on a second, if foreign cars are going to go
15:55
Speaker 1: up in price, then I may not be happy about
15:57
Speaker 1: the foreign car. This is also just simply put about leverage,
16:02
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump has made it clear that he's going
16:04
Speaker 1: to use tariffs for leverage. He loves tariffs. Anytime you're
16:08
Speaker 1: around him, he talks about tariffs.
16:09
Speaker 2: He likes them.
16:10
Speaker 1: He thinks they are a tool to be used to
16:13
Speaker 1: get things back in check when they've gotten out of
16:16
Speaker 1: whack with other countries. He's using it with China, he's
16:19
Speaker 1: using with Canada. By the way, we heard earlier today
16:21
Speaker 1: he had a great call with a new leader in Canada.
16:24
Speaker 1: There's a very good chance that they're gonna be able
16:25
Speaker 1: to work a deal out here for securing that northern
16:28
Speaker 1: border and also for the President to be able to
16:34
Speaker 1: not have such a trade deficit with Cando.
16:36
Speaker 2: Same thing with Mexico.
16:37
Speaker 1: He wants concessions and he understands that, yeah, things can
16:43
Speaker 1: go out of whack here a little bit, but can
16:45
Speaker 1: other countries hold on as long as we can. I
16:52
Speaker 1: think the President really does know what he's doing right here.
16:57
Speaker 1: And I think the President is understanding that he's got
17:02
Speaker 1: a he has to he has to do it differently
17:08
Speaker 1: this time than he did it last time. Donald Trump
17:13
Speaker 1: said even back in twenty twenty four talking about tariffs,
17:19
Speaker 1: and he's not really stopped.
17:20
Speaker 2: From this viewpoint.
17:22
Speaker 1: He said this in an interview I think it was
17:24
Speaker 1: on Fox Business in Bedminster, New Jersey, at his golf club.
17:28
Speaker 2: This about the idea of tariffs with China.
17:31
Speaker 7: As a national security tool. Absolutely so, tariff's have two things.
17:36
Speaker 12: Number One, I think that great, you're taking money if
17:40
Speaker 12: China's charging us one hundred percent, that we don't charge
17:42
Speaker 12: them anything. You know what happens they say, we don't
17:45
Speaker 12: want your cars from America. We want you to build
17:47
Speaker 12: your factory in China or other countries.
17:49
Speaker 7: It's not just China. I would be willing to.
17:52
Speaker 12: Bet that I would have a very good I had
17:53
Speaker 12: a great relationship with presidency. And in all fairness, when
17:57
Speaker 12: COVID came in and it came from Wuhan, and I
17:59
Speaker 12: said it right from the first time you interviewed me.
18:01
Speaker 7: It came from the Wolhant labs.
18:03
Speaker 12: You know, they were saying it came from France, Italy, Germany,
18:07
Speaker 12: came from all over the place.
18:08
Speaker 7: They said it came from us. We knew Buhan and
18:11
Speaker 7: we always said, well.
18:12
Speaker 12: It came from Caves bat Caves, two thousand miles away.
18:16
Speaker 12: But when that came, it was, you know, it was
18:18
Speaker 12: just a ship too far.
18:20
Speaker 13: Are you considering putting tariffs on other countries?
18:24
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been consistent on this. He ran on it, right,
18:30
Speaker 1: He ran on this. He ran on the idea that
18:33
Speaker 1: we're going to use this for for national security issues,
18:36
Speaker 1: for making it clear that we're not going to be
18:38
Speaker 1: messed around with, We're not going to be screwed with.
18:41
Speaker 2: And then when he's doing it, there are.
18:43
Speaker 1: People that like can't get their head around, like they
18:46
Speaker 1: can't believe it. Why would you not believe him when
18:50
Speaker 1: he said this is what he was going to do.
18:53
Speaker 1: Why he's doing exactly what he said he was going
18:57
Speaker 1: to do. He's doing it exactly what he promised the
19:03
Speaker 1: American voters he was going to do. He said that
19:06
Speaker 1: in August of last year, Like if people didn't want this,
19:12
Speaker 1: they could have voted against it, but instead they voted
19:16
Speaker 1: in favor of it. Right, they voted in favor of it.
19:23
Speaker 1: I'll give you another example of why people voted for him.
19:26
Speaker 1: This was something else that came out with Doge in
19:29
Speaker 1: this interview with Brett Baer.
19:31
Speaker 2: You've got overstaffing.
19:32
Speaker 14: A good example of overstaffing would be the IRS has
19:35
Speaker 14: got fourteen hundred people who are dedicated to provisioning laptops
19:40
Speaker 14: and cell phones. So if you join the RS, you
19:42
Speaker 14: get a laptop in the cell phone you have provisioned.
19:44
Speaker 14: So if each of those IRS officers or employees provisioned
19:49
Speaker 14: two employees per day, you could provision the entire IRS
19:54
Speaker 14: in a little more than a month, so twelve times
19:56
Speaker 14: a year.
19:57
Speaker 4: Read this, Why would you have fourteen hundred people whose
19:59
Speaker 4: only job it is to give I left talking about.
20:01
Speaker 6: Right, The whole IRS could be once a month.
20:04
Speaker 2: So that doesn't make any sense. Again, it doesn't make
20:08
Speaker 2: any sense.
20:10
Speaker 1: The Tesla take Down movement, which organized protests against Elon Muskin,
20:16
Speaker 1: is rolling the Trump administrations, gearing up for its biggest
20:19
Speaker 1: demonstrations yet. While protests planned around the world this weekend
20:25
Speaker 1: on its Global Day of Action, you ready for some psychopaths?
20:29
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to know who the enemy is
20:30
Speaker 2: They're going to show their face.
20:33
Speaker 1: USA Today is now reporting that the Tesla Takedown movement
20:37
Speaker 1: a growing backlash against Elon Musk and his involvement in
20:40
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. The Department of Government Efficiency is urging
20:45
Speaker 1: protesters to sell their Tesla vehicles, dump their stock, trying
20:50
Speaker 1: to ruin Elon Musk, and join picket lines in front
20:53
Speaker 1: of Tesla locations worldwide. The movement's website has declared this Saturday,
21:00
Speaker 1: eight the twenty ninth, as a global day of action,
21:05
Speaker 1: with dozens of protests planned across the United States, the UK, France, Germany,
21:11
Speaker 1: the Netherlands and more. According to the Tesla Takedown website,
21:18
Speaker 1: and this is all being funded by the radical left
21:20
Speaker 1: and the billionaires of the left. Okay, they oppose it,
21:25
Speaker 1: must quote alleged illegal coup, that's how they describe it,
21:29
Speaker 1: and is used to the Tesla fortune to destroy our democracy.
21:33
Speaker 1: Same people that are saying they believe in democracy are
21:35
Speaker 1: the ones that are saying torch Tesla's and fire bomb
21:39
Speaker 1: them and set up like actual bombs, for example, in
21:42
Speaker 1: sceniary devices at the one in Austin. Tesla Takedown is
21:47
Speaker 1: a peaceful protest movement that's what they say. We oppose violence, vandalism,
21:51
Speaker 1: and destruction property that's on the website. I think the
21:55
Speaker 1: actions that we were saying speak differently than what you've
21:58
Speaker 1: got on your website. The plan protests coming into a
22:02
Speaker 1: significant decline in Tesla's stock value, which has lost almost
22:06
Speaker 1: forty percent since December, following from nearly five hundred share
22:10
Speaker 1: to around two hundred and seventy a share. This drop
22:12
Speaker 1: is in value coincides with an increase in vandalism targeting
22:18
Speaker 1: Tesla dealerships and vehicles across the US.
22:20
Speaker 2: By the way, just a.
22:20
Speaker 1: Personal note, I am I'm just not a guy that's
22:24
Speaker 1: a Tesla guy has something to do with the Elon musk.
22:26
Speaker 1: I just I'm I'm like, I'm look, I'm just kind
22:28
Speaker 1: of like I like gas of my engines. I don't
22:30
Speaker 1: like the stress of worrying where I'm going to like
22:33
Speaker 1: plug the thing in.
22:35
Speaker 2: I told you on this the White House last week.
22:37
Speaker 1: I am, for the first time in life, genuinely looking
22:41
Speaker 1: at the reality of buying a Tesla. Just to give
22:45
Speaker 1: not one, but two middle fingers to these radicals on
22:48
Speaker 1: the left. Second thing, I'm now looking at actually buying
22:51
Speaker 1: Tesla stock because if they're going to try to do this,
22:54
Speaker 1: and then I want to stand with him. I would
22:58
Speaker 1: never have been a candidate for a tesla until these psychopaths,
23:02
Speaker 1: these degenerates have done what they've done. And I'm like,
23:05
Speaker 1: bring it on. You want to you want to come
23:07
Speaker 1: after my car, Fine, you're going to jail because the
23:11
Speaker 1: cameras are going to be rolling. Sometimes we've got to
23:14
Speaker 1: stand up for good people doing good things. Elon Musk
23:18
Speaker 1: coming out saying this as well in his interview with
23:20
Speaker 1: Brett Bayer, and I wanted to play this for you.
23:22
Speaker 2: Take a listen, almost be shut down.
23:25
Speaker 5: Finally, what's the biggest thing for you that keeps you
23:28
Speaker 5: up at night?
23:40
Speaker 4: Well, there's a lot of things I suppose that I'll
23:41
Speaker 4: worry about. But and and some of these things will
23:44
Speaker 4: seem esoteric to people. Uh, you know, the birth rate
23:48
Speaker 4: is very low in almost every country and something Unless
23:53
Speaker 4: that changes, Uh, civilization will disappear. America had the lowest
23:57
Speaker 4: birth rate I believe ever, that was last year. Places
24:01
Speaker 4: like Korea the birth rate is one third replacement rate.
24:04
Speaker 4: That means in three generations, career will be three or
24:06
Speaker 4: four percent of its current size. And nothing seems to
24:10
Speaker 4: be turning that around. Humanity is dying and people. It's
24:14
Speaker 4: just not something we evolve to react to. And I
24:21
Speaker 4: mean I worried generally about the strength of America. You know,
24:28
Speaker 4: America is the central column that holds up holds up
24:35
Speaker 4: all the Western civilization. So if you like, if you've
24:39
Speaker 4: got the example of Western civilization, America is the central column.
24:43
Speaker 4: If that column fails, it's all over. You can't run
24:46
Speaker 4: off to New Zealand or some other place. It's over.
24:51
Speaker 4: So either way, strengthen that column and make sure America
24:53
Speaker 4: is strong and will be strong for one time or
24:58
Speaker 4: well that roof's coming down.
25:01
Speaker 1: It's so interesting to hear Elon answer that question, and
25:06
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to like.
25:08
Speaker 2: Why is he doing this?
25:09
Speaker 1: I think he loves this country, and I think it's
25:14
Speaker 1: pretty clear he loves this country. So the question that
25:18
Speaker 1: every American should be asking is why are Democrats so
25:21
Speaker 1: upset that he's finding fraud. It was something they talked
25:27
Speaker 1: about in the five It's something I mentioned earlier. They
25:30
Speaker 1: were talking about this interview, and they said the reason
25:33
Speaker 1: why they think democrats up says because they believe the
25:35
Speaker 1: government is theirs.
25:36
Speaker 2: It's their.
25:38
Speaker 1: Bank to push their ideology on everyone.
25:43
Speaker 12: Relations and what they've been able to dig up.
25:45
Speaker 13: Well, first, I thought all these doze boys were going
25:48
Speaker 13: to be like wearing hoodies and have like one hitters
25:50
Speaker 13: hanging from their mouth. And they're like really successful innovators
25:55
Speaker 13: that have left their successful companies to take a sabbatical
26:00
Speaker 13: of the country.
26:01
Speaker 2: And all the.
26:02
Speaker 13: Democrats can do is heckle. They're like bleacher creatures. They're
26:07
Speaker 13: just yelling stuff from the stand. They got a hot
26:09
Speaker 13: dog in one hand, a Miller light.
26:11
Speaker 7: Here, and they're like, you're too slow.
26:13
Speaker 13: I mean, meanwhile, these people need like wheelchairs to get
26:15
Speaker 13: out of the stadium. They don't have any ideas the Democrats.
26:20
Speaker 13: What's their idea to cut waste, fraud and abuse? What's
26:23
Speaker 13: their idea to cut spending? This is like when your
26:27
Speaker 13: wife spills wine and then she yells at you because
26:31
Speaker 13: the way you're cleaning.
26:31
Speaker 3: It up is wrong.
26:33
Speaker 13: Hebe, you spill the wine, I'll clean it up the
26:35
Speaker 13: way I want to clean it up. Why are Democrats
26:39
Speaker 13: upset about fraud?
26:41
Speaker 7: They're just upset about.
26:42
Speaker 13: The way we're finding the fraud, Like we're injecting swallows
26:46
Speaker 13: with coke to see if it makes them warning. Yes,
26:49
Speaker 13: coke makes everybody horny? Why can't we just hold hands
26:53
Speaker 13: and agree? And some of this stuff is ridiculous. The
26:56
Speaker 13: Democrats don't run their own business like this. What Democrat
26:59
Speaker 13: business hires people and never fires people. What Democrat business
27:04
Speaker 13: just gets built down of millions of dollars and never
27:07
Speaker 13: stops it. What Democrat business gives every employee.
27:10
Speaker 2: To credit cards.
27:12
Speaker 6: None.
27:13
Speaker 2: Democrats never run.
27:14
Speaker 13: Their own businesses that way, but for some reason tolerate
27:17
Speaker 13: what's going on in the federal government like this.
27:20
Speaker 1: By the way, I think Jesse's absolutely right. Why are
27:24
Speaker 1: Democrats up set about fraud? Why aren't they upset about fraud? Well,
27:28
Speaker 1: it's and none of them run their business this way.
27:31
Speaker 1: So why Here here's the last thing he says, which
27:34
Speaker 1: is the core point here.
27:36
Speaker 13: I would want FEMA to be faster. I would want
27:38
Speaker 13: the Pentagon not to get built.
27:40
Speaker 7: I would want.
27:40
Speaker 13: Medicare and Social Security saved.
27:44
Speaker 2: We can agree on that.
27:45
Speaker 13: But for some reason Democrats are fighting tooth and nail
27:48
Speaker 13: against this. It's almost like they think the government's theirs,
27:52
Speaker 13: and when any Republican takes power, he's leasing the White
27:55
Speaker 13: House like if anyone he wants to make any changes,
27:59
Speaker 13: like you have to call this super like. You can't
28:01
Speaker 13: do anything, you can't paint it, you can't irrigate the law,
28:05
Speaker 13: and anything needs to be done, you have to have
28:07
Speaker 13: the Democrats do it for them. That's not how we
28:09
Speaker 13: run this country.
28:11
Speaker 1: That's not how we run this country. It is, by
28:13
Speaker 1: the way, how Democrats run this country. That's the whole problem.
28:18
Speaker 1: This is exactly how they want to run the government
28:23
Speaker 1: because they believe that it is theirs.
28:27
Speaker 2: That's what it is. They believe that it is theirs.
28:32
Speaker 2: Do me a favor.
28:33
Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family, your friends,
28:37
Speaker 1: put it up on social media wherever you are on
28:39
Speaker 1: social media, and I will see you back here tomorrow.
