All right, Thanks Scott Channon, thanks to all of you for being with us. Here is our toll free telephone number you want to be a part of the program. It is eight hundred and ninety four one Sean if you'd like to join us. I can't even really respond to the overwhelming, you know, generosity of comments. Trust me, when I when interviews people, people don't like them, pretty loud about it, and in fairness, sometimes the criticism is right. And this was an interview that just kind of took
on a life of its own. Uh, although we got a we got so much. I when I walked into this interview with President Trump and Elam Musk, I had no idea how long I was going to have with them, no idea, And you know, I was hoping to get a full hour. We actually ended up having more, which we will run tonight. Like tonight, there's some really incredibly insightful things that we just didn't have time for last night.
You know why he wants to do this, and you know what happens to the world of America fails and how America cannot fail, and his motivation for doing it it is it is pretty spectacular. How to make things better. And you know, I got into a lot of this and I don't think if I wanted to accomplish one thing in this interview, I as as we listen to the you know, the state run legacy media mob that they have no interest in going through where the waste, fraud, abuse,
corruption is none at all. I mean, we had a moment on Fake News CNN and I thought it was pretty revealing and it was Steven Miller, just are you against the cuts? You know, tell me why you're against these cuts? You know, asking with some anchor over Fake New CNN. And I'm you know, because as we played on the program yesterday, these are comments eliminating ways fraw abuse in government. These are comments that have been made repeatedly.
You know, Ronald Reagan had the Grace Commission, but these were comments made by Democratic presidents and vice presidents. You know, Bill Clinton made these comments repeatedly, and you know Al Gore made these comments repeatedly, and Barack Obama made these comments repeatedly, and you know, and Republicans have been saying it for years. And I love Miller was being attacked on Fake New CNN. The US government is thirty six trillion dollars in debt, and the average America makes sixty
six thousand dollars a year. And here you have a guy that's putting his life on holds, working for free, he's not getting paid, and a guy that has done some of the most innovative, amazing things in his life. With the brain of a genius. He thinks on levels that all of us can only dream of. I mean, if you think of everything from PayPal, all right, may sound simple in this day and age, one's so simple
when you thought of it and making it work. Or space X, where if it becomes the first public company he was the chief engineer invested his own one hundred million dollars at the time, money that I think he got from PayPal, and you know is the chief engineer becomes the first public company to send you know, astronauts into orbit.
Pretty amazing accomplishment.
He sees the incredible possibility of Tesla early on electric cars. I think liberals would love that, even joked to me. Yeah, liberals used to love me. They don't love me anymore. And you know, and look at the innovation. And by the way, he's not mandating. And at one point it even came out because yes, I asked the conflict of interest question, and what's going to happen to Social Security and Medicare and who's in charge between you two?
All Right? I knew the media I.
Would care the most about that stuff, But for me, it was just very different. For me, I wanted to understand it. I wanted to understand him. And then I look at all the other accomplishments. I mean, he's he's on the precipice of going into space. They have successfully docked with Space station before, and now they're going to do it to rescue astronauts. I don't know why there's not there wasn't urgency during the Biden Kamala Harris years.
It makes absolutely positively no sense. And you know, one of the questions I asked him that will air tonight. I don't know how much time we have lovet maybe twelve fifteen minutes of available, you know, to use tonight. But and you know, I ask him, why is he doing all these things? And President Trump ways in that this is the most important thing he's ever going to do.
This might be the only chance we ever get. I mean, when you have the average Americans seeing and that's why I keep scrolling because if I I, you know, imagine being the interviewer and they say, excuse me while I read this long list of waste, broad and abuse that you found that we've been able to confirm. And I read that, I would take the whole time that nobody, they wouldn't want to talk to me, and you con
wouldn't blame them, and I'd be talking too much. So I decided, you know what, I'm just gonna scroll this like I've been scrolling it, but you know, and Elon goes into great specificity about God help this. The world of America fails, we cannot fail, and it might be our only opportunity, and he goes into detail about how this this may be our one shot where it's like what Nut's been saying, We've got to the dance, but
they haven't fixed it all yet. And in the end, it's going to be hundreds of billions, if not over a trillion dollars in savings, and that's going to be great for our kids and grandkids. And we're going to run government more efficiently. And I say, in my words, return to constitutional order and the values the vision of our framers and founders, which is libering a government and greater freedom. You know, the interest payments on the debt,
you know, now exceed our national defense budget. We're at a point where we're going to have the biggest debt to GDP ratio since World War Two. The American people still suffering. We still live under the Biden Harris economy, and people are putting bare necessities on credit cards fifty six percent. I've been saying this now for days. Of the American people cannot afford a one thousand dollars emergency expense if God forbid, their their air conditioner goes down
or their car breaks down. They're in trouble. And that's why credit card debt is as high as it is right now. And the American people are tired. And when they see this, you know that if you had a natural reaction, you would be outraged.
You know.
And and it was funny. So Steven Miller is on you. You may assert that there's no waste in the treasure, but I'm not asserting I don't think anyone would assert that Stephen, And he says, then why are you not celebrating these cuts? If you agree there's waste and abuse, If you agree there's corruption. Why are you not and why is the media not celebrating these reforms? Why people are going to die because the doge, No, they're not. You're not going to And that got clarified last night
by the President. As it relates to Social Security and Medicare, it doesn't mean you can't reform them, just like you can block rant money to the states or have school vouchers and eliminate the Department of Education. But you know, we've got to understand why this is important. And that was more my motivation is I don't think a lot of people know this. Then you add to that, you know, the robotic arm of Tesla, I mean robots created that
could do menial tasks for people in their homes. It's probably going to be more common, much more quickly than people think. It's kind of like when big screen TVs came out, only a few people had them, then the price went way way down. If you bought one of the early ones, you paid a fortune. If you weighted,
you got it for next to nothing. At some point, robots will become more common and the price is going to be driven down dramatically, and they'll mass produce it and we may all have robots, you know, you know,
cleaning our house, cleaning the dishes. I don't know what they can do, you know, or something is as unbelievably magical if they can pull this off working with artificial intelligence and his new version of GROC which according to every expert, is surpassing even with the Chinese Deep Seek that they put out and every other AI that has been created. But it's taken it to a new level. And he wants to study, you know, the vastness of the universe and creation, and it's just the media and
the left don't want to see the big picture. And when he talks about neurallink maybe curing blindness and people that have spinal cord injuries one day being able to walk, you've got my attention. And then you're going to devote your time, energy resources into finding waste, fraud and abuse. And they're finding it, you know, in ways that should
make every American so so angry. And the only people that keep pushing back and are screaming and singing and chanting we will win and blah blah blah and all this madness and calling them their word. And you know, malebodied parts the street vernacular and constitutional crisis, not a constitutional crisis. The only crisis is and is the corruption that's been exposed. They don't like him because he's friends with Trump and he exposed them for their waste, fraud, abuse,
and corruption, and they don't like being exposed. And that's where their power came from, spending and abusing your money and it's your money, it's not my money, it's partly my money, but just wasting it and robbing from our kids and grandkids at a level that is unprecedented, and they want.
To be angry at Elon musk there is.
It was so interesting getting to know him because in many ways he's just innocent, and he's just excited by every aspect of life. He thinks about getting plans to Mars and people to Mars. I don't wake up in the morning thinking about doing something that incredibly brave, bold and innovative. My brain is not as bright as his. And yet we have good people that want to devote their lives to government.
Now.
You know, at different times people ask me if I ever want to run for office. I'm like, why, you must really hate me, because look at what they do to people that want to run for office, and nobody's gotten the brunt of this and the abuse of it more than Donald Trump ever. And you know, John Stewart was pretty interesting. And you know, John Stewart doesn't like me, and I don't think I don't particularly love him, but but you know what, I got to give him props.
I mean, he's willing to call out the left and Bill maher same thing. I don't have a relationship with either one of them, and I don't really like to do interviews anyway, I have no desire. But when they're spot on, they're at least far more honest than other
people in the media. And he actually said that, I tell you know, when you keep saying fascist, fascist, fascist, and I think if you quote cry fascism at every administration overreach, even the ones that are constitutionally okay, you've got to find yourself out of fascism bullets when the time really comes. And I think what the media has done over the past ten years is cry wolf to the point that they have numbed everybody and has gotten to the point where, you know, oh, was the thing
they litigated throughout this campaign. He's a fascist, He's a horrible person. Democracy on the ballot. Guess what it was. He goes, guess what lost did the ballot? If you told us democracy was on the ballot, democracy got its ass kicked by a majority vote. Now it's smart and it's clever and it's true. And he says, so I'm very cautious about when yeah, you know, hopefully I won't do it, you know himself. But it's like when you put your dog down. It's one of those things like
you're not quite sure. But I do understand how annoying that is. And he's he's kind of warning the left. Bill Maher has been saying the same thing, you know, even before the election of Trump wins.
I know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna do exactly what I'm doing now. And if Kamalo had a one, yeah, I would have, it would be rough. I think the country was headed into a very steep decline of radicalism, that one that would spiral so far out of control. I don't know if we would be able to come back and save it. Even I just don't know. You know, people say who's the next Army. There is no next Trump. There never was a next Reagan. There just wasn't is there are true
originals in life, and there's nobody else like him. I mean, to be the force of nature that he is and to take all that he's taken and come back standing. They threw everything they had at him to destroy him. So this is where we are, and this is an opportunity now to be transformational, an opportunity to get back on the right path and return to constitutional order, to
return to the principles of limited government. And this goes for Republicans too, because they're still fighting amongst themselves about you know, how much to cut where to cut. None of them are going to get everything that they want. But there is a roadmap, and that would be the Trump Agenda, and which I think should unite all of them because without Donald Trump in this election, a lot of them wouldn't be there. And he carried a number of them across the finish line. And that's just a fact.
So I hope you we still more will run tonight and talk more about it, analyze that. Christynom also on tonight, We've got a great show nine Eastern on Fox. But I am pretty amazed, and I think we're pretty blessed that good people want to serve us and they give up a lot in the process, and then they get demonized by people that just don't like their politics. But no reason at all. All right, twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine to
four one, Shawn is a number. What is your family's safety insecurity plan if somebody breaks into your home? Because it's happening more and more. I mean there's crime in small towns, big cities. Look, my first option is always to get out of the situation and not have any confrontation. That should be everybody's first option. If you have the ability, your last option is lethal force. And I've always had
a license to carry. I still do in Florida. I even had one in New York City, believe it or not, and although I returned on But what is the option? The next option for me is, thanks to the technology that is Burner, the less lethal launcher. It's so effective and you can see the videos for yourself, you can de escalate any situation without irreversible consequences of deadly force.
It gives you a choice. It gives you an option if the situation is right and anyway, I'll tell you Brett from the Burner Owners group on Facebook recently posted a story how the one time he forgot to pack his berner on his walk with his dog was the one time he was attacked by an unleashed dog and he left the situation bloodied, as was his dog, and
he learned a serious lesson never leave home without a burner. Now, the beauty of burner is it has kinetic rounds and tear gas and pepper spray, and you know sometimes the projectiles come in different forms based on state law, but it is legal in all fifty states. You don't need a permit, you don't need a background check and berner and this technology is so sophisticated and so good. It's now trusted by over five hundred government agencies, police departments,
and private security firms. Please take the time, it's only a minute. Just go to their website, look at their videos. And if this technology does not impress you, then I don't know what will. Because it's very effective. It can incapacitate any perpetrator thirty to forty minutes. Burner BYRNA dot com slash Hannity. You'll get ten percent of any purchase that's b y r NA dot com slash Hannity two day.
Check out those videos. All right, we do have a lot to get to.
The last thing I'm going to say about Musk is he has and we discover us this little bit x AI, which is the newest version of its flagship Elon Munk's Musk's flagship rock chat bot out which outperforms its artificial intelligence he believes rival sam Altman and open ai and the latest all the buzz about China's Deep Seek and the discovery most people didn't think that the Chinese were as close and as sophisticated an AI, but until that
came out. But Rock three scored higher on tests in math, science and coding than any other artificial intelligence out there. And that includes open aies GPT four, oh and Google's Gemini and deep Seek and every other model out there. And Xai's claims about a GROC three's performance, you know, are pretty amazing and all of artificial intelligences. To me, it will change all of our lives, and we just don't know how it's going to change all of our lives.
We don't know.
Starting with DOZE, today, the top ten federal agencies in DOSEE cost savings, and I mean these are billions of dollars that we're talking about here. We're not talking about millions billions, And there is a difference eight billion, one hundred and sixty four million Department of Homeland Security, six billion, five hundred and forty one thousand for the the agency you know, AID or Agency for International Development, separate the Department of Education over a billion dollars. I mean, it
just goes on and on. On top of all of the specific cuts. It was pretty interesting too. I mean, to get the questions answered that I know the media would want most answered, you know, is the President Musk because they don't want these guys to get along. Here, you got the guy the world's smartest, richest men and offering his time and energy, taking it away from some of the most creative thinking in the world. Who's in charge,
President Musk. They just do it to try to divide Trump and Musk, and they know it.
They see it.
We got that question straightened out and the fear mongering it won't be social security for grandma and Grandpa. Then we dealt with that last night Department of Education, which the President has said he wants shut down immediately.
Yeah, he clarified that too.
More efficient ways than having a federal bureaucracy running education in every state, and even acknowledged some states will do a poor job at it, and then they'll be you know, if you give it to different areas of states independently, like he broke up New York. If you look at the map of New York, the voting map, a lot of the state is read, as a matter of fact, the majority by far of the state, upstate New York,
Nassau County, Suffolk County, you know, all gone red. Bruce Plateman's done a great job in Nassau County, is the county executive. They've done, you know, phenomenal work and as a result they are being rewarded by voters at the polls.
I mean, I you know.
Now the only thing Governor Hochel seems concerned about is whether to you know, step in and remove the mayor of the City of New York for the first time. It's insane. They just they can't get their act together. Donald Trump. Now some people say, well, why would Donald Trump do this?
Why?
Because it needs to be done. We have seen the weaponization of our Department of Justice. We have seen the politicizing and weaponizing of our FBI and our intelligence community. And the President directed the Justice Department to fire all US attorneys left over from the Biden administration, all of them. And he said, therefore, I have instructed the termination of all remaining Biden error US attorneys. We must clean house,
immediately restore confidence. They were there the whole time. Did any of them ever stand up at the Department of Justice and say that, wait a minute, this is not equal justice under the law. And when you know, I talk about rank and file, I understand that the at the FBI.
Really there's so many of.
These people that look forward to the FBI being restored to, you know, towards its former greatness and being restored as the world's for mere law enforcement agency. And on top of that, you have senior DOJ prosecutors quitting after being told to investigate Biden's climate spending. Well, I mean, look at what we're spending on climate radicalism worldwide. We're not
even spending it here. This transcends you know everything that the UN is doing that we give seven billion dollars a year two and you know the Paris Climate Accords, in which we're paying hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars. I mean, this is insanity and the American people have a right to know. And this is what the President signed in his executive order yesterday, where every penny is going so clean house, you know, and the left is
doing what they always do. We now have a whopping seventy four lawsuits filed in federal courts against the administration. Because what they can't get done at the ballot box, what they can't get done electorally, but they can't get done legislatively, you know, then they run to the liberal courts in the hopes that they can get it done there and go against the will of the American people and frankly, what's right for the American people. This is basic,
simple common sense. If you're a Democrat and you see all of this waste, fraud, and abuse, and you realize that's your money, and your children's money and your grandchildren's money, are you not angry at this? Because I think you have every right to be angry.
Anyway.
The House Senate, I mean, we kind of expected this a little bit of intramural fighting. It's probably going to take Donald Trump to act to get these guys get to get working in unison, and that is they had a budget test vote clearing in the Senate as the House, GOP has not gotten time to act on their build They are very, very stringent, stringent requirements for reconciliation built
in the US Senate. And it is time to act on the mandate of the American people, and that's rebuilding our defense, securing our border, preparing for the next generation of weaponry, unleashing American energy, supporting all these people in the country illegally. Let's see those found. The GAO now admits up to seven percent of federal spending may be fraudulent. Wow, that's a non partisan government agency. This isn't even Dosee the director telling MPR that fraud represents three to seven
percent of our annual federal budget. Well, if the GAO nonpartisan says that, maybe what they're doing with those is a pretty good thing. But you know, the left keeps crying constitutional crisis, constitutional crisis, that's the first thing they always do. He's a violation of the constitution. You know, it's as Musk said last night, he actually answered, he said,
and these attacks occur. The thing they were accusing the administration of is what they are guilty of They're saying that things are being done that are unconstitutional, but what they're doing is unconstitutional, frankly outright theft. The fact it was pretty funny. There's a couple of things that they didn't know.
One.
I started out joking around. I just said, well, he's your friend and he's working for free. But you just settled the ten million dollar suit that you had filed against Twitter before Elon Musk knew it.
Elon must actually I just give it to the lawyers. I didn't.
I didn't pay attention to it, and Trump didn't know that Musk endorsed him the day of the assassination attempting Butler. That was pretty interesting that came out of the interview, and I I gu started agree. I said, you made him pay ten million dollars. I'm like, give him the money back. When did you think that was a little funny?
I did.
I thought it was a little awkward. I would I don't know that I would have led with that. But I have a question for you.
What So you're sitting in a room with these two dudes, right.
Three dudes sitting in a room. Okay, this is a joke, ahead, Yeah.
Three guys, WI walk into a bar. But all kidding aside, I know how you prep and how much you prepped. How much of what you wanted to ask did you ask?
You never get in everything you want to ask. There's certain things I knew that I had to get in. You know who's in charge, How do you get along, what's the nature of the relationship, What if there's a conflict? What about the fear mongering about Social Security? Medicare those those you just had to get in? But that that you know? Those are basic questions now.
Now, now the next question I did.
If I didn't ask him, I get I would have gotten killed. But that was right. You had to clear I wanted people to know.
The liberal er needed to be cleared and squashed. And I thought that was smart and I enjoyed it. Now, how long did it take before the three of you actually sat down to do the actual interview. I know you guys must have been Maybe you had on jiu jitsu moments. Maybe you flip the president showed you know.
I didn't. No, I've never shown the president anybody.
But all kidding aside, how was it like, did you guys walk around the White House?
Like did you guys talk for a little bit. What's the behind the.
Scenes, behind the scenes.
As I get there the president when you go in the Oval office, and I went through the Oval office, there's a bathroom on the right, there's a room that the President has turned kind of in like a souvenir room that he gives gifts to people when they visit the White House. And then there's a dining room areas. It's not that big, it's pretty small. But we were all just hanging out of the dining room just, you know, hanging out probably for an hour just just talking.
Wow, So you had like an hour of hang time before you did the actual sit down.
Yeah, and then nervous that I wasn't going to have any time. I had no idea how much time they'd give me. I was hoping I'd get a whole show out of it, and I got a little more. But you know, it's yeah, I mean, well.
Is there anything that you love that didn't make air?
You mean the stuff behind the scenes?
Yeah, Like, was there anything you learned? I mean, obviously, you know the President.
I learned that I really liked him. I learned, well, obviously I'm a fan of President Trump. I'm very outspoken about it, but I really liked Elon Musk and I found to him. You know, he's his genius comes across and he's got the innocence of a kid.
In many ways.
He's like he gets excited over like the stuff that he's doing, which probably explains why he sleeps at work all the time. I mean, he has a reputation for just like sleeping on the floor in one of his offices.
Well, I guess that's a perfect fit for a President Trump who doesn't sleep at all.
So you know he barely sleeps too.
You know what you should have done, Well, I got my rapid radios. Let's all get let's get three of them. We'll share them, and then we could just share ideas on it long because you're the three people in the world that don't sleep.
Okay, you're dealing with multi multi billionaires here and one of them right, Fine.
We'll play them in gold.
It's fine, and we got it was a little funny when I said he's the richest guy in the world. That probably bothers you a little bit. I was just messing with President Trump, and.
Well, I mean, really, who is right? I mean, but he is the most powerful. So there is that I did think it was. It was it felt real to me, their friendship, which was nice.
That is I can confirm that one thousand percent. And it was just the interview took on a life of its own. I mean, I'm not going to sit here and say I controlled that interview, because I did not.
I just let them talk.
I would disagree with that. I think you controlled that interview. You were very much a part of that interview. I didn't feel like that was like a train gone astray.
No, it wasn't, because I thought the conversation was real. And it's what I mean by take it took on a life of its own. It's they gave very genuine, real answers, and a lot of a lot we you know, kind of came up a little bit behind the scenes. But it was more getting to know him. And if I could, I'd like to spend the day with Elon Musk and just get in his brain and listen to him. I said to him, I would love to pick your
brain about AI. The thing that fascinates me the most, I mean, well, two things that really fascinate me the most about him is nouralink, his passion for it and Space X and the rescuing of the astronauts.
Well, I think I think my favorite line.
I don't want to give it away because we're playing a lot of it at five o'clock, but I think one of the funnier moments, in my opinion in Katie and Ethan can speak to this as well, was what he said, I watched that rocket come back, like you grab a beautiful baby, you know, a big beautiful baby.
I was like, what is happening right now? Why is he saying so weird? I was like, I don't know what. That's how we grab babies, but all right, cool, sure whatever.
And Trump kind of like me. You know, when he first met Elan had no idea how deep he was into all of this, and now he understands it all. And that's that's any such a question.
Well, he is, like you a serial entrepreneur.
So I'm sure there is between the three of you a lot of conversation to have about building businesses, how you fail, how you succeed, why you need to fail, to learn from it, and so on and so forth.
There's there's so much that we can learn from smart people, and I just wish you know for a moment that common sense would prevail and there would be recognition. I mean, if again, if this is the political hill Democrats want
to die on. It is the dumbest choice ever, reckless, green new deal, DEI, transgenderism, wokeism, LGBTQ monies, you know, tends what will be hundreds of billions abroad while America is, it has record debt and our our taxpayers are buried under the Biden Harris economy, which we all still live under. So it was we'll get to that. We're gonna play, uh, the interview from last night, and we'll bit more tonight. By the way, nine Eastern Hannity on Fox
