All right. Trump and his psycho sycophants are trying to take over California, Los Angeles. They're being threatening and provocative and we covered that in an article earlier episode. So we need a little respite from this and we need to talk about why 77 million people gave power to Donald Trump because here's a video where one of Trump's allies, Steve Bannon, explains that Trump offered to do Elon Musk's makeup. Play the clip. Scott Besson point. You say that the black eye that Elon had in the Oval Office was actually caused by Bess and punching him. Is that your information you have?
Political Commentator 2
No, no, no, no. That happened the Scott Besant physical altercation happened weeks before that was one of the controversy the irs. But this is one of the reasons I think the President said, hey, I think the China briefing where you try to get a top secret briefing on the China war plan, given the fact that he's in business with the CCP and many people think that he might be an agent of influence of the CCP since he's always promoting the Chinese Communist Party' The Bessant thing happened a couple weeks after that. But look, the black eye. The president said yesterday he offered the guy some makeup before they had that final little ceremony and he turned it down. And the President, you know, brought it up a couple times. It was odd. I have no idea where it came from. I will tell you. I think it looks like the receiving end of a left hook. I'm not sure his little boy, three year old boy was able to deliver that.
Political Commentator 1
All right, so here we have, you know, Trump offering Elon Musk makeup. I mean that's, this is just the fact that these people are taken seriously and have ascended to power and are dismantling the United States of America. And they have so many people propagandized to go along with this. And this isn't. I mean, this is WWE bs and it's the federal government. It's the United States of America. So many people that stand up so proud for the national anthem don't believe in it. They don't believe in equality, and they don't believe in everybody having equal rights. It's really, really disgusting the areas and the places that these 77 million Americans are taking us.

Absolutely. And Elon Musk is exhibit A for the depravity of Trump without the charisma. He is depraved. Trump is depraved. They are the perfect couple. And I'm guaranteeing you 100%. I remember Donald Trump saying, oh, I didn't even notice he a black eye. He lies all the time. And I know that's minor, but it's just constant lies from that man.
Political Commentator 1
All right, put up the next headline. Trump says Elon Musk will face very serious consequences if he funds Democratic candidates. In an interview with NBC News, the President also said he assumes his relationship with the tech billionaire is over following their recent fallout. So this is. This is a part where we all have to have a come to Jesus, if you will. Of course, there's the petty part of me that wants to see Trump go after Musk and wants to see Musk get deported. But the intellectual part of me knows the federal government cannot be used in this manner. You don't blackmail people with laws and their immigration status, period. Even if it's your enemies. And so here's just another example of how compromised Donald Trump is, how easily he's willing to throw away the rule of law. He doesn't even live in it. And he knows he's got massive dirt on Elon Musk. He knows that Musk went into all of these agencies not to find waste, fraud, and abuse, but to shut down investigations into himself, into his company, so he could further enrich himself. And I think that is just the tip of the iceberg. I think there's a lot more fuckery beyond that. And Elon Musk is starting to zip it up a little bit because he knows that all of these people will follow the cult leader over him. Now, can he start changing the algorithm and tame back the troll farms and boosting the algorithm? Yes. But at the end of the day, Trump is the cult leader.
Political Commentator 3
Absolutely. And the cult, regardless of circumstance, is always going to follow Trump. And I am with you. I think they have so much dirt on each other. I think it would land both of them in prison until they were under the jail. And I don't taking outside the presidential immunity. I think Trump and Musk, in my opinion, they committed so many election crimes to get Trump in office, they both better shut up because they would both be in jail.

Okay, and then next up, put up the next excerpt. So President Donald Trump was dejected, processing his very public split with the world's richest man. Rattled in the wake of Elon Musk's public attacks and apparent call for his impeachment. Trump worked the phones, debriefing close confidants and casual acquaintances alike. His former ally was, quote, a big time drug addict. Trump said at one point as he tried to make sense of Musk's behavior, according to a person with knowledge of the call. So here's where I say, Jake Tapper, Jake Tapper, if Joe Biden appointed a really bad drug addict and that came out of his mouth to go into the epicenter of federal agencies and download information and give it to some guy named Big Balls, and the President of the United States knew this man was actively in a spiral of massive untreated drug addiction, where's the outrage from that? I mean, we're, you know, some people in the legacy media are talking about Joe Biden's aging. It's not even comparable. It's not even in the same ballpark. I mean, this is a man, Donald Trump, who said that he thinks drug dealers should receive the death penalty, which is outrageous. And then he puts this, you know, spiraling drug addict. And I can tell you from personal experience that I have drug addiction close to me. You don't want anybody on drugs making any decisions about anything, even about where to park a car. People who were spiraling on drug addiction do only one thing, seek more drugs and then destroy and leave a debris field in their home way.

What I find interesting about this very public breakup is you have must come on and say, oh, Trump's in the Epstein file. So you knew that you were working in a close, confident with somebody that was in on the pedophile staff. And Trump, you knew that a drug addict was in control of the federal government and neither one of you gave a shit because you both got what you wanted. I mean, that to me is the perfect picture. He doesn't give a shit if you're a pedophile. He doesn't give a shit if you're a drug addict.

But haven't we said in here a lot it's Like a prerequisite for this administration. Like Pete Hegseth, untreated alcoholic, rough swimming up, total womanizer. Perfect. The guy for the, you know, you can just go down the list. Kristi Noem shot a dog. She's perfect. Let's put her in charge of stuff. It seems like the more depraved they are, the more primed they are to come out and execute the evil intents of this regime. Okay, next up, Musk is throwing shade at Stephen Miller on Twitter. Pop this up. Stephen Miller tweets, we will take back America. And Elon Musk retweets with comment, just like I took your wife. And then he deleted it. Okay? And then he's denying that he deleted it and put up the next headline. Elon Musk has been forced to rebuke Grok, his own AI chatbot integrated into X after it falsely suggested the tech billionaire wrote a post saying he took the wife of Stephen Miller. Musk trashes his own AI over embarrassing posts about Miller's wife. And we'll get to the analysis of this hilarious face plant. But please support our show by supporting our sponsors. It's one of the best things you can do to help us keep doing these posts every day. And I want to tell all of our listeners that I have been using Irestore on my hair.

You know, this is, this is such a classic addict thing. While they're in the throes of addiction, they create something and then they don't take accountability for it. And then they start blaming the person that exposed it. And in this case, Elon Musk is blaming the AI software that was. I don't think he made it, but that was made at his behest. That was made at his financial funding for, and then added to Twitter. Now he's fighting with Grok because it says, no, you tweeted it and you deleted it. And I have the receipts.
Political Commentator 3
Well, here's the deal. Elon Musk is just an absolute disaster from Jump. But what I've noticed about Elon Musk with, starting with the baby mamas all the way through with Donald Trump, he gets with people, he fights with people on social media. And then we saw last week, he unfollowed so many members of the Trump administration, including Stephen Miller. So there's definitely bad blood there because in fact, Stephen Miller's wife is going to work in the private sector for Elon Musk.
Political Commentator 1
Okay. And then in a hilarious. I mean, this, this is the funniest thing to me ever. So Elon Musk has padded his Twitter account. I mean, I think he has padded like how many followers he has. And if you don't follow him, his tweets will show up every fifth or sixth one. So you have no choice but to mute him because he has gamed the algorithm so that he is the most boosted and rigged person on the platform that he owns. And so when he tweeted that the reason the Jeffrey Epstein stuff hadn't come out was because Trump was at the heart of them. And that was the deal. And he went nuclear. He made sure because he's, you know, pre game the algorithm, that everybody on the planet has seen it. So a few days later, he deletes the tweet. And I thought, I'm so glad nobody saw that before he deleted it, Elon. I mean, it's just insane. So pop this up. Elon Musk. Kyle Griffin is reporting. Elon Musk has now deleted his post about Trump and the Epstein files.
Political Commentator 3
That's a shock to no one. Everybody. Here's the thing. I get so furious with MAGA running around saying, we want to see the Epstein files. Why haven't you released the Epstein files if you would have paid the slightest bit of attention? It is in the public record that Donald Trump was on Epstein's flight seven times. And that is not what I want to know from Elon Musk about the deep, dark secret secrets of Trap.
Political Commentator 1
Not only that, Jeffrey Epstein recruited girls from Mar a Lago. That's right. So Donald Trump is all over this thing, much deeper than just Being on the, on the files, the one woman, Virginia, she worked at Mar A Lago. And Mar A Lago was a source of recruiting girls to be sex assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein and other powerful people surrounding him. So there's no question that as soon as Cash, Patel, Bongino and Bondi got in there, they're like, oh shit. Like he's, he's way involved in all of this and his businesses are involved in all of this. MAGA will never know that because it will never see the light of day. And they would rather sit around and talk about Hillary Clinton at Pizzagate. I mean, it's just insane. Okay, next up, Elon Musk did all of this stuff and came into the federal government because he is so concerned about waste, fraud and abuse in a country where he was not born. And he thinks that he is an expert on finding waste, fraud and abuse. And put this up. Former Doge engineer says federal waste and fraud were relatively non existent. And this is reporting from npr. It's a little wonder why the current administration wants to defund npr. They tell the truth. So these Doge people go in and they've drank the Kool Aid and they think, oh my God, we're going to save a trillion dollars. And this is the fundamental problem that so many Republicans just don't understand. You cannot run government like a business, and it's not run like a business. This engineer who probably was a. Elon Musk, Donald Trump, triple thumper thumper. I mean, he goes in there and at least, at least it's a little glimmer that at least one person comes out of this and goes, there wasn't hardly anything, right? This is all smoke and mirrors. But that's the whole thing about maga. The whole thing is smoke and mirrors. It is a place for people to go park their grievances because Donald Trump gives them a permission structure to where they can be. They can release their racism without guilt, without it being painful for them. They don't have to critically think anymore. They can just get a piece of propaganda here and then they like that. And then another piece of contradictory propaganda over here and then they like that. And they live in La la land and they are destroying our country, our allies, and this is just utter insanity. We live in the most up of times. I agree.
Political Commentator 3
And one thing I will say, I wonder if Elon Musk ever really thought he could root out waste, fraud and abuse or if that was just the propaganda to get him in there, to get these investigations and these massive fines against him. Released. I mean, who, who would know? Because it probably changes from ketamine snort to ketamine snort. But I just, I really wonder if it was ever about waste, fraud and abuse.
Political Commentator 1
Well, I think that he went, he went in there to shut down all of these investigations into himself and enrich himself under the guise of waste, fraud and abuse. And if you've been propagand the right wing media ecosystem, you have been told over and over and over about the Democrats and this waste, fraud and abuse over and over four decades since Reagan and the biggest contributor to our national deficit are tax cuts from George W. Bush and Donald Trump, period. Nothing else even comes close to that. And so this is all a ruse to help white racists. And now they've, they've grown it. I mean, you have the Latinos for Trump who are finding out. But to feel better about the country being in shambles and them not having to take personal responsibility for it, the situation is, it's a social contract. When you live in a country, you pay taxes. A lot of countries, like if you get to the European Union, they take pride in the fact that they have health care. It makes them feel good. To live in a place where everybody receives health care is a basic, fundamental right. They feel good when women get up to a year in maternity leave and that they actually value family. And they will brag about it in Scandinavian countries. Here, the people who care the most about family and the most about, they say, about helping the needy, they are the ones who are the most critical of the sick and the poor. And it is just such a deep moral flaw that I just don't think we can call out enough in our personal lives. And on this podcast, America has a deeply selfish, corrosive, evil moral flaw under the guise of being religious and, and all in Judeo Christian values. And it's total. All right, we'll see you all later.

Use of flavored tobacco by teens is a crisis. Tobacco companies use flavors like cotton candy, watermelon ice and cool mint to hook kids like me. They seem harmless, but they aren't. Addiction to nicotine sets us up for a lifetime of health problems. Organ legislators can do something about it. Passing Senate Bill 702A will keep flavored tobacco away from kids. But there are just a few short weeks left for lawmakers to act. Take action to protect kids like me. @ flavorshookorgankids.org paid for by the Campaign.
