Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. At least according to Elon Musk, who he was, like, besties with pretty recently. My name is Cameron Caskey.
Snacks
Hi, I'm Snacks, the Hip Hopper, and.
Cameron Caskey
We are here to talk some shit about all of this. So, Elon Musk, recent close friend of Donald Trump, tweeted, time to drop the really big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. The. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day. Djt.
Snacks
Did you see this, man? I didn't think it was real when I first saw it. I actually had to refresh my Twitter, man. But I'm like, I can't believe the state of American politics is literally us Twitter beefing. But, hey, I guess that's the most Gen Z they're going to get, right?
Cameron Caskey
So, I mean, imagine being Kendrick right now, and you were just like, the best hater in the world for like, a year. And Elon in one tweet out Kendrick's.
Snacks
You literally. Literally. Hey, what Soulja Boy say? He said? He said he took my flow. He took everything. He copied me. Like, come on, man. Like, hey, hey, again, maybe that's the reason Elon bought Twitter like, a year ago or something like that, you know, so he could come back and talk his shit. But I will say it's comedic, it's comical.
Cameron Caskey
I'll say that it's crazy, and it was definitely expected. Like, everybody knew when Trump and Musk started hanging out that there was going to be a messy Real Housewives level falling out because they're both such messy girls. But, you know, I think there's a difference between trading jabs on Twitter and revealing that somebody was in the fucking Epstein files. So I don't even know how Trump can retaliate at this point. I just know that he will, and it's going to be huge.
Snacks
Oh, yeah. I don't know if it's going to be terrorists against Tesla or, you know, I'm saying they're going to start making recalls. Are they going to, you know, look into Elon's history? It's just like you said, these are government officials, right? So you can't just be declassifying and releasing, like, information like that over a social media platform, number one. But number two, to add on to your original point, it's like. Like you said, man, we. We were waiting for the time to happen, man. Like, a dude like Elon, who. I get it, he may have came from some money, too, but the man has been on multiple different, you know, in Multiple different companies that have blown up, right? Like that actually been successful. I mean, Trump has carried on his father's legacies and his father's businesses, but you know what I'm saying, like, Elon's actually a guy who's grown certain businesses. So for somebody to endorse another guy who, who doesn't have the best business plans, you know what I'm saying? Like, you kind of saw this coming, right?
Cameron Caskey
I mean, neither, neither of them have the best business plans. Like Trump fucking bankrupted casinos. He bankrupt, he had Trump stakes Trump University. And Elon now has the Tesla stock in the fucking shitter. You know, advertisers are dipping out of Twitter, I refuse to call that shit X. They're dipping out of Twitter at warp speed. I mean, if you go on Twitter lately, the ads you get are for like crypto scams and weird right wing influencers putting out ads for themselves where it used to be like Nike putting their shit on Twitter. So it's, you know, these guys are both such upward failures and it was inevitable that this was going to happen. But I don't think like tariffs on Tesla or anything like that are going to be Trump's retaliation. Like, there's a difference between Elon coming out and talking shit about the big beautiful bill, which he just did. He put out a tweet where, you know, Trump's immensely unpopular bill that he was all hype about, that so many Republicans, even the biggest Trump ass kissers, were actually against. I mean, you could look at panels on Fox News where the people who beg Donald Trump to fucking spit on them are still like, oh, wait, this is really, really bad. It's a devastating bill. It's one of the biggest transfers of wealth from the poor people to the rich people ever. But Elon talking shit about that is the type of thing where Trump might say some negative things, he might threaten some business retaliation. Elon is, is revealing that allegedly Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. And that seems like the type of thing that will make Trump go nuclear. And it's kind of nice because, you know, Trump has been bullying Democrats so much, he's been threatening governors with withholding resources to their state if the governor doesn't bend the knee. Which is why your former governor, Big Gretsch, was hanging out with him in the White House. And did you see the pictures of her, like, trying to hide behind the. Did you see her in the White House?
Snacks
Yes, man. I'm like, come on, man. The same, the same, the same governor that four years ago Remember, he talked.
Cameron Caskey
All that shit about and now they're posting up. So, you know, at a time when a lot of Democrats are trying to reconcile with how important it is to bend the knee to Trump, even though obviously Trump is like Putin, you know, when you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to want more. Like, you know, if you, if you bend the knee and concede to Donald Trump, that's not when his bullying and it's not when his demands are going to stop. Now we have some of the craziest infighting on the right that you could possibly see. And I think to a degree this will strengthen certain conservative groups and certain elements of the Republican Party because a lot of conservatives who are actually more conservative and less like typical proto fascist, a lot of them didn't like Musk anyway, and they were just sort of going along with this Doge shit because they knew that Donald Trump does not allow you to, to defy him. But now that Musk is sort of the enemy, the Republicans can unify behind him and they can throw him under the bus and say that they were against him the whole time. And Trump will be fine with that. So I think that's some party unity for them. I think the Democrats are going to be in this position where they get to say told you so. And unfortunately, saying told you so is not as effective a strategy for the Dems. And as we've always kind of wished it would be, that, you know, there have been so many instances where Trump has done such atrocious shit that even Republicans are coming out and saying like, this isn't what I voted for. And then we're like, well, we told you this was going to happen and it didn't really resonate with them. But like from the people you talk to on the day to day is do you hear people like fudgeing with Musk at all? Does anybody like him?
Snacks
I mean, that's the thing. Especially being here in California right now. There's a lot of people, you'll see with the anti, anti Elon Tesla, you know what I'm saying? Anti Elon Tesla club, they, they buying his thing, but they hate, you know, Elon. Like I know a lot of people who do not mess with him. And, and to be honest, that was even when he was back here in California, right? Like they just didn't, didn't mess with, you know, Elon from the jump. So from Democrat, Republican, moderate, a lot of people just are kind of unified and not really with Elon. Like, Elon is not Their guy. But like you said, the point that you, I think the best point you just brought up is like, I don't think you can try to out logic like you say, told you so to people who have been gaslit for the last, you know, four to eight years, right? Trump, you know, as everyone knows, you know, back in the day, he said that thing about, oh, if I'll run, you know, I'll be a Republican because they're, you know, easy manipulate this and that. But you're right, like we're seeing it in broad day. Like Republicans even say like, that's not who I voted for, right Ring. That's not who I voted for. That's not who I voted for. And Democrats saying I told you so, they still gonna turn around and be like, yeah, man, but you know, make America greater, grand, you know what I'm saying? They're gonna still believe in the next lie or the next, you know, the next manipulation tactic that Trump's gonna use to push it out on him. So while a lot of people I know are against, you know, the things that he's doing, or even against Elon, you know, three, four months ago, Trump and Elon, you know what I'm saying now look, oh, I don't mess with Elon, but I still mess with, it's like, come on, man.
Cameron Caskey
Yeah, I still like Trump. Even though this was all part of the plan, he was actively involved with the. I think that it's like a, it's a complicated thing for Democrats because on the one hand, nobody wants the Doge shit to keep happening. They don't want DOGE cutting veteran benefits and cancer research that can't, you know, those cuts can't be undone. It's where we're going to be seeing the results of this shit for generations. But also like, you know, Musk was a useful tool for the Democrats in the sense that everybody fucking hates him. So him being all kissy kissy with Trump was a really good means by which the Democrats could attack the oligarch party. And the Republicans are going to remain the oligarch party. They're going to continue being controlled by people like the tech billionaires, people like Peter Thiel and shit like that. So, So I feel like the Republicans are going to string up this narrative of, okay, we did away with Musk because, you know, we're the party of the working people. We're the party of the working American. You can't point at Musk anymore and say that we represent the billionaires. But since Musk was the most famous billionaire. The ones who are better at kind of remaining in the shadows behind the scenes, sort of getting away with the Trump support, it's going to be harder to bring them in the spotlight because Elon was such an attention magnet, right? The Democrats were able to drive, you know, drive so much attention to how fucking awful this guy is. Whereas someone like Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel, who's one of the most dark and fucked up and twisted architects in the Republican Party, it's going to be a little bit more challenging to say, like, hey, look at this guy. This guy's pulling the strings. And look at. Fuck. What's the name of that conservative think tank, Chris? You know, what's the group of conservatives that, like, runs the entire Republican Party and lays out these crazy agendas? Heritage Foundation. Thank you. Like, I mean, I just forgot their fucking name. Like, pointing out things like Heritage foundation and Teal Whole harder than attacking Musk. Musk also tweeted, just while we're on the topic of this ketamine addicted freak, real quick, if Chris, if you don't mind throwing up the video of Elon in the Oval Office just the other day, tripping out on K. Yes, well, it's a very sad case. It's a case we win. We can't lose that case. Like, look, I've been that guy before, but I wasn't, you know, a government official at the time. I don't think, like you've seen people tweak like that at a party.
Snacks
Come on. Now, you can see this on, on, on Figueroa, on 7th and Metro.
Cameron Caskey
7Th and Metro. Musk is what we're going to start calling him. Where is 7th and Metro out here.
Snacks
In Los Angeles, man? Come on now. Over a hundred thousand homeless people, man. He, he's fitting right into all the, all the tweakers and, and pookie pipe, you know, know, snorters that you see, you know, all across these, these, these great metro systems that, you know, Los Angeles has to offer.
Cameron Caskey
Well, I, I was just going to say, I can't say I know what a pookie pipe is, but if you're watching this, I recommend that if somebody offers you something called the pookie pipe, you turn it down. That doesn't sound very healthy.
Snacks
Yes, no, pookie man, do not hit the pookie man. That's, that's the big slope.
Cameron Caskey
While we're on the topic of Elon, he tweeted. Is it. I don't, I don't know how long ago I Left out the timestamp on my screenshot. Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle? He did a poll. Yes or no? Should we create a new party for the middle? And I'm like, what middle are you talking about? Because he doesn't mean, you know, the 99% of people who are getting screwed over by the 1%. I think he means, like, I think he's suggesting that 80% of people are moderates, which is a fucking insane thing to say when the most popular Democratic primary candidate in recent memory is Bernie Sanders, who's a leftist, and the most popular Republican probably ever is Donald Trump, who is a far right fascist. So what. What 80% of people in the middle.
Snacks
Is he talking about exactly? Where is he? Where are these magical moderates, right, that he can't seem to find?
Cameron Caskey
It's the same thing with the Harris campaign. Like, the Harris campaign was pivoting to the right on certain issues, trying not to look too progressive to reach the, Like Liz Cheney, Republicans of the world. By the way, a lot of those people are bulwark listeners who. Who vote Democrat now. So I'd like to shout them out. But generally speaking, it's not a substantial group of voters that, you know, while the Harris campaign could have been reaching out to the majority of people who just don't vote at all. You know, people in inner cities who have to work three fucking jobs to survive. And, you know, making it to the polls on election day is a really inconvenient and difficult thing for them. Like, Harris was pivoting to this kind of. I always call them the Democrats imaginary friends, this group of moderates. But like, I'm sure there are moderate conservatives at this point, but it doesn't matter because no matter how moderate they are, they're still voting MAGA and they're still loving it.
Snacks
There you go, there you go, thinking they're going to reap a benefit of it. And some might. Most won't. Like you said, the factory workers who work three jobs. You know, all those people that he promised, oh, you know, Stimmy's gonna come and, you know, I'll put money back in your. All those people who were voting with that intention, like you said, still turn around and go and vote for a guy who's not never gonna help them and never gonna, you know, want them to succeed. I mean, it's also interesting, too. So all this is going on in the White House. I don't think people forget we're not that far removed from, you know, political figures in our, you know, in Washington talking about super criminals and super thugs and putting away drug dealers and people with convictions. Well, if I'm not mistaken, our president, you know, is a felon. Is a felon or has a misdemeanor. I don't, I don't know. I don't know.
Cameron Caskey
Regardless, 34 times convicted felon, so.
Snacks
34 times convicted felon. And he put somebody in his cabinet who's obviously a tweaker and he's on drugs.
Cameron Caskey
Yeah. While we're talking about super predators, according to Elon Musk, Donald Trump seems like a predator as well. It's almost as if it's hard not to look like you're on the Epstein list when you have publicly bragged about making completely inappropriate and non consensual advances on women and when you've talked about your daughter being hot and how you want to marry her. Trump hasn't done a very good job of creating a narrative for himself that makes him not look like somebody who would be on Epstein's magical island, so.
Snacks
Exactly. Or Datelight when Chris Hansen. But I digress.
Cameron Caskey
Yeah, yeah, he. To catch a, to catch a potus, I think they would call it. Well, before we go, do you have any closing statements about the new Kendrick drizzy beef of 2025? That's, that's actually. Yeah, I was going to say the, the sigh was, was more than enough. Everybody, thank you so much for joining us. I assume we'll be making a lot more videos for you in the days to come because there's going to be a lot more drama. It's going to get a lot worse and Elon is probably going to do a lot more ketamine with FY pod. I'm Cameron.
Snacks
I'm Snooks.
Cameron Caskey
And thank you all for listening.
