uh we could start off with um I mean the assassination attempt uh which uh was an incredible thing and I have to say that uh you know your actions after that that assassination attempt were inspiring um you know you instead of shying away from things instead of ducking down um you were pumping your fist in the air and saying fight fight fight and I think that's I mean you know the president of the United States represents America and I think that is that is America that that is strength Under Fire and um so that's uh
you know a big you know part of the reason why I was uh excited to endorse you as uh the president of United States for having another ter here is uh that was that was just incredibly inspiring but but I mean what was it like for you not pleasant I have to be honest Pleasant I said it was blood I had more blood I didn't know I I didn't know I had that much blood the doctors later told me that the ear is a place that is uh a very bloody place if you're going to
get hit but uh in this case it was probably the best alternative you could even think about because it went at the right angle and uh you know it was a hard hit it was very I guess you would say surreal but it wasn't surreal you know I was telling some somebody you have instances like this or like a lot less than this where you feel it's a surreal situation and I never felt that way I knew immediately that it was a bullet I knew immediately that it was at the ear yeah and because it
you know it hit very hard but hit the ear and I also heard people shout bullets bullets you know get down get down because I you know I moov down pretty nicely pretty quick and we had bullets flying right over my head after I went down so I'm glad I went down the the bigger miracle was that I was looking in the exact direction of the shooter and so it hit it hit me at an angle that was uh far less destructive than any other angle so that was the miracle that was for those people
that don't believe in God I think we got to all start thinking about that you have to uh you know I'm I'm a Believer now I'm more of a Believer I think and a lot of people have said that to me a lot of great people have said that to me me actually but it was uh it was amazing that I happened to be turned just at that perfect angle and uh all because I put down a chart on immigration that showed that the numbers were so great I I love that chart even more it's
a sign maybe that's a sign you know it's an immigration sign you you highlighted a serious issue and at that moment the Mr you know hit your ear but but but you know M Mr of your head I mean the amazing thing is that uh the sign I said bring down that sign on immigration and it was literally about an eighth of a second where it would be good and and after that it was going to be a disaster no matter which which way you were facing but it just had that that perfect angle which
was exactly at this shooter very sad situation such a sad situation as you know we lost somebody that was great Corey who a firefighter a a great gentleman a great a great Trumper he was a a just a fantastic family and a fantastic man and a friend of mine came up Elon and said I'd like to give the family some kind of uh help and I said that's great he said do you mind I said I don't mind at all and he wrote out a check for a million dollars gave gave it to the wife
and you know uh she said this is really nice but I'd rather have my husband back which is a nice thing for somebody to say to be honest she's she's great the family is great and we raised a lot of money for them and for uh two other gentlemen were are unbelievable people also they were hit really badly they thought they were not going to make it and they did the doctors in the Butler area I tell you they were incredible they saved the two and uh they were really hit tough both of them equally
uh and we thought we my first question was because I heard bullets flying over me and I said how many people were killed because we had a massive crowd there a tremendous yeah thousands and thousands of people and there was no land I mean it was just it was all people so I how many people have been killed because I knew there were other shots being fired sure and they said uh we don't know yet but some people have been badly hurt and uh I have to give the Secret Service sniper they call him or
Sharpshooter but sniper because he didn't know there was a problem he's been he's an extraordinary shot obviously and he didn't know there was a problem and he was able to pick it all out within 5 seconds and he used one bullet from very far away I guess probably about 400 yards the shooter was 130 but he was on the he was on the opposite side of the field and the podium and he saw the the smoke and the flame from the gun immediately recognized it and immediately took a shot and it was one perfect shot
from very far away and If he if he didn't do that Elon he would have I mean if he would have a lot of people a lot more people have been could have been badly hurt and killed so I I have to take my hat off to him because that's also a surreal you know he's been with them for 23 years and there he's never had anything like this and all of a sudden he has to act and it's a very tough thing to act and to be shooting somebody but he saw the uh he
saw the gun saw the smoke saw the flame from the gun very far away I obviously has very good eyes he's got very good Vision which I assume you have to have in that particular work but he uh he took aim very quickly and it was they say it was approximately five seconds from long range one bullet if that didn't happen because the shooter had a lot of bullets he had a lot of a lot of cartridges up there with him so I mean I mean that that that's clearly you know um you know he
was he was very confident in taking that shot uh to stop the the assass the attempt at assassination um but but I mean that does seem to be I mean some pretty significant failings um elsewhere in the system like there's just no way that like how on Earth does a shooter get on a roof 130 yards away um that seems crazy um I think most people like people are wondering how that H Earth could such a thing happen well you know I view it as two ways there should have been nobody in the roof uh
there were people because there were so many tens of thousands of people there there were people that were seeing him and there was one woman with a red shirt and uh Trump all over it and she's screaming that guy's got a gun you know you saw it probably here yeah I mean it's like I'm just I'm just I guess I mean for my part I think probably many members of the public are wondering how the heck are you know basically people wondering by pointing out there's a guy on the roof with a gun yeah um
and they're seeing it but somehow that's it's not being addressed um that that does seem crazy well they're going to learn from this the communication between the local police who sort of had an idea and then ultimately a man lifted himself up to the roof could barely do it because you know he was pulling himself up and yeah he saw the man with the gun the man with the gun pointed the gun at him he thought he was probably going to get shot but you know he was like pulling himself up and because of that
he couldn't get to his gun and he fell down actually very badly hurt his uh leg his ankle I hear very badly but but he fell down and he did you know from what I understand he did say there's a guy up there with a gun and the the shooting started very quickly after that I think it I think it four Force the shooter to go maybe quicker you know you're supposed to be a very good shot yeah my sons uh Don and Eric they they can't believe what happened but they said from 130 yards
a bad shot would hit that Target almost every time they said it's like in golf sinking a two foot butt yeah it's not a hard it's not a tough shot it's not a it's not a long shot the uh Secret Service person had the long shot he had a you know triple the distance actually so uh you know it was a a terrible thing look uh it it's hard I have to say this about the Secret Service when I went down and you know I went down based on I think they're screaming uh but other
people also because people saw this happen you know you had so many people one of the Miracles was that nobody ran I mean if if a gun goes off the crowd control people showed showed us this when guns go off and it does happen in stadiums at a soccer match or some kind of a match everybody flees they call it a stampede like cattle but everybody and a lot of people get killed with those stampedes we had more people than you'd have at you know some of these matches or or these games and uh nobody
left you know you had a small group behind us in the grand stand and that was full and you look at it as it was taking place and normally they'd be running they didn't leave they saw that I was hurt they saw a lot of blood and they saw that I went down and it's almost like they wanted to be with me well out front you had thousands tens of thousands of people you as far as the I could see you had people in Butler as far as the I could see and and uh and
a lot of press too were you know many cameras on watching this it's what made makes it so different because normally things happen that aren't good but you never have a picture of it here we have all these cameras shooting it so uh you know sort of amazing but one of the interesting things was that you didn't have anybody flee you didn't have anybody Stampede nobody and there was some people behind me they stood up and they're looking like you know I mean I tell you you want to have you want to have them in
a fox hall with you I want to meet some of those people because it's so different from what you heard but so so I was down but the Secret Service guys there were bullets flying right over my head you could hear them go whizzing and yeah and these guys came jumping on top of me you know a young lady Kate uh would jump they they moved so fast and let me tell you that took tremendous courage now there was a lack of coordination uh there was you know obviously everybody understands that somebody that that building
should have been covered and yeah I mean I think like I mean I mean looking at the the Arial views that building would be like the number one spot for a sniper I it's like it's like the if you were to pick like what is the favorite what if you so the goal assassinate what's your favorite spot that building that building would be number one that would have been this it's like you could you can ask for a better location it's like that would have been this spot you know what people think is when the
uh local policeman who by the way you know he really uh he did what he was supposed to do he couldn't hold on any longer and then when he got his head just peeking above this guy standing there with a gun at his head and when he fell down again hurt his ankle very badly but he was making the calls but what happened is the firing took place very soon so what they think is that this guy ran to his site which he had all planned out with a gun uh he ran to the site
and he started shooting fast and maybe that's why he uh well he sort of missed I mean you know he got but could been it could have been um could have been a much bigger problem but he totally would have hit if if you hadn't turned your head so like you know there was a it it was a very near thing it was a miracle if I had to turned my head yeah I would not be talking to you right now as much as I like you exactly I would not I would not talking to
me from another realm yeah that's right we'd be talking from a different place but uh it was a it was a you know it was a very terrible experience the the Butler Hospital they did such a great job uh the doctors were so good everybody was so good there was there was a mistake if if if somebody knew cuz people were hearing that you know there was just a bad feeling that there was somebody was around you know that story now it's been yeah and if somebody could have said because they've often times said you
know like it'd be a lightning storm or something because I've done I think over 300 I think I did a lot more than that but we did a lot and often times they'll say Sir could you wait 10 minutes please sir could you wait 20 minutes as the storm overhead or lightning or something right and that happens often and this would have been a perfect time for that to have happened but it it didn't it didn't get coordinated that was the problem well uh it was uh your I think uh your your um actions in
the in the heat of fire and you know like what I I find admirable there was that you you can't fake bravery under such circumstances the courage is instinctual or it is not it's not a rehearsed action and so I just want to say that uh I think a lot of people admire your your your courage Under Fire there and um yeah so thank you very much I I appreciate it I didn't I don't think I didn't think of it I just wanted to get up and I want to stand up I want to let
people know you know I felt I was good when when they were uh on top of me covering me actually very much covering me and and very bravely but uh I wanted to get up I said I want to get up and uh they wanted you know they had they have everything there they have they wanted stretcher I didn't like the stretcher and I knew I was hit in the ear but I knew I wasn't hit anywhere else they felt I was hit someplace else because it was such a lot of blood and they were
sure that I was hit someplace else and they were saying sir you you you were hit in more than the air I said nope I was hit in the air I want to get up let me get up and so we I got up and the crowd didn't know what to think I mean this was so so many people and they did you could see they were confused they didn't know what to think and I wanted to let them know I was okay it was very important for me to let them know that and they
went wild you you've seen the after they didn't go wild when I got up because they didn't know was I alive you really couldn't tell when I stood up before the hand before the you know the fist in the air uh they didn't know if I was alive nobody did and uh when I put the fist up they were they were just relieved and happy and thrilled and the place went crazy it was pretty amazing it was a it was a terrible thing but it was incredibly moving yeah um well and and I mean speaking
of the the the the sort of slide that got you to turn that uh saved your life really uh was the illegal immigration slide maybe this maybe this it's worth talking about about that it was it was that slide that slide say illegal immigration saved my life you're right but had to be at the exact angle I mean that's that's a great one sa saved by illegal IM you know the the incredible thing though when you talk about the odds you had to be exactly at that angle but but the incredible thing is that the
chart I used it less than 20% of the time it was just a moment yeah it's always on my left never my right and it's always at the end of the speech so here we have it it's on the right not the left it's at the beginning not the end and even the people that put it up they were unprepared and they did a great job they got it up immediately fortunately but I looked to the right and and the bullet and the bullet came whizzing by hitting my ear uh so it was amazing but
when you think of the odds of that and you know that that normally you wouldn't use it normally I wouldn't have the thing and then you know it would have been a very different story it's it's very much I I say an act of God it's a miracle that it happened and I'm honored by it I'm honored by it well what what what what were you about to say about illegal immigration before you were rudely interrupted well I was going to say how good the numbers were by the way we're going back to Butler and
we're gonna go back in October we're all set up and we're the people are fantastic in Butler it's a big it's a great area great these are incredible people uh like the three that in the case of Corey kill and the other two the the families I get to know him a little bit and the families are great but we're going back to Butler and uh I think I'll probably start by saying uh as I was saying PR being so horribly interrupted but yeah so rudely interrupted by anation attempt no but the chart some people
have have no Manon the chart was just a chart that in my last week we had the best uh illegal uh immigration numbers meaning stopping uh week we had the best uh illegal uh immigration numbers meaning stopping uh it was at the lowest you've seen the chart it's become quite a famous chart but that was the lowest point ever recorded it was a really um I mean I was very proud of those numbers and then you see what happened with these people uh kamla and Joe you see what happened they just let it go I
had remain in Mexico policies I had all these different policies that was so good uh guys like Tom homman and Brandon Jud from border patrol all these are all people that they've been on television they say it's the best numbers we've ever had we had so many different Jacks patch and release in Mexico not the united we had catch and release in the United States we had it in Mexico we had so many things we had things where if people many people come in there they have contagious diseases we had everything passed if you have
contagious disase I'm sorry but we can we cannot allow you into the country so we were setting literally records and uh I all I was doing is showing that and I I use it sometimes and in this case I'm glad I used it I can tell you that but but they were fantastic numbers but I'm going to sleep with that chart always I'm GNA I'll be sleeping with that chart that chart was uh was very important very important for a lot of reasons well I mean I mean what if you I heard what if be
accurate to say that you're supportive of legal immigration um but that but we obiously need to shut down illegal immigration uh and especially unvetted illegal immigration because you you know and and and that's not the same as saying that everyone who is illegal immigrant is bad in fact um I think most people who are illegal immigrants are actually good but but you can't tell a difference unless there's a solid betting of who comes across the border is does that does that represent your position I say it very simply they have to come in legally they
have to be checked yeah because look Kamala was the borders now she's denying it everything that I do she she's saying she was strong On the Border we're gonna be strong well she doesn't have to say it she could close it up right now they could they could do things right now it's horrible uh no tax on tips and all of a sudden she's making a speech and say and there will be no tax on tips I said that months ago and by the way they had just the opposite you know they had not tax
on tips but they hired 88,000 IRS agents and many of them were assigned to go get waitresses and caddies and all of this on tips they have a policy they had a policy they were really going to go after you and were really harassing people horribly and then all of a sudden for politics she says you know she comes out with with what I said which I think is terrible and I think it's also hitting them very hard these people are fake now they're also saying they did a good job in the Border we had
the worst numbers in in the history of the world not of our country there's never been a country in history that has had a catastrophe like this we've had I believe and I think you believe this too you know you hear 12 million 30 I believe it's over 20 million people came into our country many coming from jails from prisons from from uh mental institutions or a bigger version of that is insane asylums and many are terrorists and I'll tell you what they're they're coming not just from South America they're coming from a Africa they're
coming from uh stupidly and horribly bombing Israel October 7th they're coming from all over the world they and and you know you look at it's so sad October 7th because it should have never happened it's so sad when you look at Ukraine it should have never happened we have a defective government these are defective people and they're not people that should be running it but where you see it the best is the Border because you had you have millions of people coming in a month and then she gets up and she tries to pretend like
she's going to do something she had three and a half years and by the way they have another five months that they can do something but they won't do anything it's all talk she's incompetent and he's incompetent and frankly I think that she's more incompetent than he is and that's saying something because he's not too good yeah no I I think it's it is essential to have a secure border I mean you're you're really not a country and unless you have a secure border um and and secure elections yeah absolutely secure elections and uh so
so it's just essential to have a real border or or or we can function as a country and our service you know our Central Services are are being overwhelmed in a lot of cities um and uh and but I as as we were talking about earlier I think uh having um a legal immigration Pro process that is uh smooth and efficient and well and I you know speaking as someone who is illegal immigrant um and I think that that I mean like one way to think of it is who do you want on your team
um you know who like who do you want on Team America and and I think we want to just say okay we we want to uh let in people who are gonna you know be great contributors to um our society and to our economy and uh you know and who do you want on the team and it's and and it's not to say that like in my opinion actually I'd say like probably most of the illegal immigrants actually are are are actually good hardworking people that's my opinion um but some are not and uh and
and you just have this sort of adverse selection process where um you know if if if somebody's uh you know if somebody's like a you know um has a career in in theft or robbery um I I don't understand what's taking them so long to get here um because we are in such a target-rich environment um I mean you know why AR they why aren't more people who have a career in you know bad things coming here sooner because it's I mean it's a piece of cake to go rob uh you know houses in uh
LA or New York uh compared to other parts of the world and um and and in a lot of places in America if if you're try to stop the person who's robbing you you'll be arrested that's right I mean what what's happening with crime and our police are so good but they're not allowed to do their job but I have to tell you Elon I hate to say it because it's such a downer to say it I hate to say it I hate it but you have a lot of people that just shouldn't be I
think it's a much bigger number than you think they're allowing again they're allowing people from their jails and if you were running one of these countries where they're coming from you would have had all of them as an example Venezuela their crime is down 72% they're taking their drug dealers they're taking frankly their prisoners they're emptying out their prisons they're taking uh their criminals their murderers their rapists and they they're delivering them into but that's what that's what C Castor did yeah well they did on a much smaller scale you know it was a much
smaller scale but this is a massive scale because this is being done worldwide but here's what's happening crime all over the world is down and way do you see the numbers that we have you know these this is migraine crime this is crime that's that's G to be and I saw it today in New York where somebody was knifed where they uh raped the girlfriend of a man that stood there watching in New York in one of the shelters and uh started pulling out the knives and bad things happen today but this is happening every
day these are rough people these are people that are in jail for murder and all sorts of things and they're releasing them into our country and they're telling them if you come back we're going to kill you we're going to give you the death penalty or kill you so they don't want to come back but these are rough people these are these are criminals that make our criminals look like nice people and it's horrible what they're doing and and she's in charge of it because you know now she's trying to say she had nothing to
do with it and she's such a liar because she was called the borders are the first day and it was on the headlines of every newspaper she's the borders and she never even went there she went to one location which had nothing to do with where the problem is you know went in and out I guess CU she was getting a lot of pressure but had nothing to do with the problem but she was the bordar and you people can't allow them to get away with their disinformation campaign now she's trying to say that uh
she wasn't uh she wasn't really involved and the whole thing is horrible she was totally in charge she could have shut the border down without him he didn't know what he was doing anyway so he wouldn't have even known what happened you could shut the border down he wouldn't even know the difference but uh the fact is that she was borders are but if you don't have to call her that the fact is you could just call her she was in charge of the border and the Border was the worst ever it's it's simply not
working whether whether it's by whether it's by whether it's a question of of intention or competence either way we we we we don't have a secure border and we have people screaming over like it looks like a world World War Z zombie apocalypse at times and you know sometimes you you you you got to sort of Wonder like is it real or not so I you know because you see things you're like is it real I so I went to the border at Eagle Pass and I saw for myself in Texas and I was like
okay it's real I'm like seeing this in real time I actually posted the video like just live I just I just flew there one day and just to see hey is this is this is this made up or real and I'm I'm just seeing people stream across the border and um and I have to say you know at least the people that I saw did not look friendly um you people can look at my video and say Hey you know these people look friendly I don't look super friendly so these are the people that Elon
would not be the same man if he had to walk across the street and look these people in the eye these are rough people these are really rough people coming across and I know rough people and these are people that we don't want in our country and you know the Caravans are coming in and they're putting and and who's doing this are the heads of the countries and you would be doing it and so would I and everyone say oh what terrible thing to say the fact is it's brilliant for them because they're taking all
of their uh bad people really bad people and I hate to say this the reason the numbers are much bigger than you would think is they're also taking the nonproductive people now these aren't people that will kill you we have enough of them but these are people that are nonproductive they they are just nonproductive I mean for whatever reason they're not workers or they don't want to work or whatever and these countries are getting of nonproductive people in the Caravans in many cases and they're also getting rid of their murderers and their drug dealers and
the people that are really brutal people and they're coming into our country at levels that have never been seen before and I saw an ad just before I got on the ad I'm walking over here and I saw an ad by Kamala saying how she is going to provide border security where has she been for three and a half years for three and a half years yeah it's a terrible yeah I think this frankly I think this is a fundamental existential issue for the United States um and if we have another four more years of
of open borders and it's going to be even worse with another four more years it's going to be even worse than it's been for the past uh you know three and a half years uh I'm not sure we've got a country you don't have a country Elon if they get in you will have 50 to 60 million people from all over the world world not South America only you know we think of South America we think of Honduras and El Salvador Guatemala and Mexico you know the four but it's not that it's everywhere they're coming
in from everywhere and I had to stay in this is a this is a super important Point like people it's like basically when I went down there I was like well where are people from it's like it's like almost no one was from Mexico it's just the Border it's just the border with Mexico but the people coming in it's it's it's Earth the rest of Earth and and America is is only you know about four four or five% of the population of Earth it it would only take a few percent of the rest of Earth
to overwhelm everything in we're already overwhelmed Elon it's we're overwhelmed you had to see the news tonight about New York New York and I love that place and what they're doing to it is horrible what they're doing to it and all the courts do is they try and focus on Trump okay let's focus on Trump who did nothing wrong I complain about a rigged election Elon what's happened is unbelievable you have from Africa uh from the Congo they're coming from the Congo and 22 people came in from the Congo recently and they're murderers and they
dropped they they drop them they take them out of jails which is very expensive you know to maintain the jails although they don't do too much maintaining I can tell you but they take them out of jails prisons they take them out and they bring them to the United States they deposit them in the United States and say don't ever come back or you're going to be executed and they don't want to come back but they won't come back but but they're coming from Africa they're coming from Asia they're coming from the Middle East they're
coming from South America they're coming from everywhere and there are a lot of it's just a it's just it's just an everywhere on Earth thing and it's just it's just not possible for the United States to absorb you know everyone from Earth or or you know even a few percent of the rest of Earth it's just not possible so we're going to have just just to finish this up we're going to have the largest deportation in history of this country and we have no choice otherwise we're gonna have a country what they what they've done
to our country think of it with with you know in Venezuela and in some of these other countries crime is down 50 60 70 80% and you would be the same you would have you would I'll tell you what Venezuela has not gotten rid of all of them they've gotten rid of about 70% of their really bad people their jails are about 50% uh put into the United States same with other countries some are 30% some are at 50% they're all different but the bottom line is they're all going to be at 100% why wouldn't
you put a 100% of yeah and they're doing it right now while this third rate phony candidate don't forget I beat I beat Biden uh he failed in the debate miserably and you know some people said oh gee it's too bad it's too bad he did so badly or I did well in the debate you know the first night they said wow one of the people at CNN said that was the greatest debate performance I've ever witnessed and then two days later they didn't talk about that they just said he was bad but that's okay
that's the way I get treated and I don't mind that at all what I can tell you is this we cannot have a Democrat we cannot have her she's incompetent she's as bad as Biden in a different look she hasn't done an interview since this whole uh scam started and and say what you want this was a coup this was a coup of a president of the United States he didn't want to leave and they said we can do it the nice way or we can do it the hard way yeah I they just took
him out back behind the shed and basically shot him oh what they did with this guy and I'm no fan of his and he was a horrible president the worst president in history and one of the reasons he was so bad first of all the Israeli attack would have never happened Russia would never have attacked Ukraine and we'd have no inflation and we wouldn't have had the Afghan mess if you think of it and we wouldn't have had Afghanistan but we think of it you take a few of those events away and we have a
different world we would also have no inflation was caused by oil yeah no no I think you make an excellent point here which is that um when other countries can you know that that are you know are thinking about invading or doing bad things uh when they're thinking about that they're thinking about okay what's the American president going to do and are do they fear the American president or is it someone they they do not respect or and do not fear and I think they they do they do they would they rightfully be I mean
you know look at that the footage of the assassination they're like okay you know president Trump is like don't mess with me I mean that's like whereas I think people are are not going to be and they obviously have not been at all intimidated by by Biden and they certainly will not be intimidated by by Kam and you have to really think of that in the context of Global Security um that's that's that if the if the American president is some someone that like you know evil dictators are scared of that makes a huge difference
to the security of the world so I had a good relationship with Putin despite the Russia Russia Russia hoax that lasted for over two years just a hoax created by Hillary Clinton and uh Adam Shifty shiff some just bad people you know just sick people frankly I mean shiff Schiff is a sick person he's goingon to end up probably being a senator it's hard to believe the whole thing is hard to believe but uh that you know they put our country in danger with that stuff too they actually when they make up stories and you
have to fight your way out of it for a long time but I know Putin very well I got along with him very well he respected me and it's just one of those things and he would we would talk a lot about Ukraine it was the apple of his eye but I said don't ever do it don't ever do it it you know I shut down nordstream to that was the Big Oil pipeline the biggest I think the biggest pipeline in the world going all over Europe I shut it down Biden came and then they
say I I you know I was I loved Russia I was a friend of Putin and I loved Russia no he actually said to me one time he said if you're my friend I'd hate to see you as an enemy I shut down his pipeline the biggest pipeline they were looking at that the fun and this this pathetic president gets in there and the first thing he did one of the early things he did is he shut down he he shut down Keystone XL pipeline which is our pipeline that would have employed 48,000 people pipeline
workers shuts it down that was you know a massive job that Obama refused to allow I allowed it in my first week because it was jobs and it moved oil and by the way in a much more environmentally friendly way it's underground it's not a truck that catches on fire or a train that catches on fire but think of it he shut down the uh XL Pipeline the Keystone XL pipeline he shuts that down and he approves the Russian Pipeline yeah it doesn't make any sense it's like it's inconsistent um certainly the but I mean
I think it's just worth emphasizing you know to listeners the that the the immense importance of of whether the United States president is intimidating or not intimidating um and how much that matters to Global security um because there's some real tough characters out there and if they don't think the American president is tough they will do what they want to do I know every one of them and that puts that put it puts the whole world in danger El I know every one of them and I know them well I know Putin I know president
she I know Kim Jong-un of North Korea I know every one of them and let me tell you people will say oh this is terrible he said I'm not saying anything good or bad they're at the top of their game they're tough they're smart they're vicious and they're going to protect their country whether they love their country they probably do it's just a different form of love but they're going to protect their country but these are tough people at the top of their game and when they see a Camala or when they see uh Biden
sleepy Joe they can't even believe it they can't believe this happened the all the stuff that you're seeing now all the horror that you look at Israel they're all waiting for an attack from Iran Iran would not be attacking believe me you know when I was there and I say it with respect because I think we would have been good with Iran I don't want to do anything bad to Iran but they knew not to mess around Iran was broke because I told China if you buy from Iran oil it's all about the oil that's
where the money is but if you buy oil from Iran you're not going to do any business with the United States and I meant it and they said we'll pass they didn't buy oil other countries likewise you want to buy you're not doing business with the United States and they they were at a point where they were they had no money for Hamas they had no money for Hezbollah they had no money for any of these instruments of Terror and it was amazing in fact there were articles when I was leaving which is hard to
believe actually especially when you look at what's happened to our country our country is so bad right now it's such a different place we were respected think of it four years ago we were so respected to a point where when I said don't buy oil they didn't buy oil but they had no money and Israel would have never been attacked it zero chance and again I said to Vladimir Putin I said don't do it you can't do it Vladimir you do it it's going to be a bad day you cannot do it and I told
him things that what I do and he said no way and I said way and you know it's the last time we ever had the conversation he would he would never have done I got along well with him I hope to get along well with them again you know getting along well with them is a good thing not a bad thing I got along well Jun when I met with President Obama just before entering you know it's a sort of a ritual and I sat down with him and we talked it was supposed to be
for a very short period of time it turned out to be a long period of time I said what's the biggest problem he said North Korea I had that problem worked out very quickly it was nasty at the beginning with rocket man and you know all the different things but all of a sudden I got those some those were some epic tweets by the way no they were epic everything he said he said that he has a red button on his desk I said I have a red button on my desk too but my red
button is much bigger and my red button works and then I called him Little Rocket Man if Little Rocket Man anyway here's the bottom line all of a sudden I got a call from him and they said they want to meet they want to meet me and we met yeah as you remember we met in Singapore we met also in Vietnam and uh I got along with them great we were in no danger but President Obama President Obama thought we were going to end up in a war a nuclear war with him and let me
tell you he's got a lot of nuclear stuff too he's got plenty of nuclear he can do plenty of damage so yes I mean it's because you know I mean people like like Kim Kim you know Kim joh on they respond to strength not weakness he and I got he and I had a good relation you know remember I remember I met him and and we walked onto his land nobody ever walked onto his land before I walked on I wouldn't say let's bring up secret service again I would say they were thrilled when I
did that I walked onto his land and uh it was it was an amazing period but we were not in danger with him because of me you know I always say that we have enemies on the outside and we have enemies on the inside we have some really bad people in our government and people that are and controlling of the people I mean I mention names but I I don't I really don't want to give them the credit but we have some really bad and I say they're more dangerous than Russia and China if if
you have a a smart president a president that gets it we are not in danger from those countries because they need us and they need our help I mean we forced Obama if you think about it Obama and Biden and Bush to a certain extent in all fairness forced Russia and China together and if you're a history student the first thing you learn is you cannot let Russia and China align but then they also got if you take a look look Iran and they have North Korea that's you know they caught the Access of Evil
in the old days you had the Access of Evil here we have a modern day Access of Evil these are powerful countries very heavy nuclear which is the biggest threat you know the biggest threat is not global warming where the ocean's going to rise one one8 of an inch over the next 400 years the big and you'll have more you'll have more ocean front property right the biggest threat is not that the biggest threat is nuclear warming because we have five countries now that have significant nuclear power and we have to not allow anything to
happen with stupid people like Biden you know Biden uh did something with Russia uh there was no chance of him ever going and and when I left and then then after I left they started forming big armies on their on the border with Ukraine right and I looked at that and I thought he was doing that because Putin's a good negotiator I thought he was doing that to negotiate but but then Biden started saying such stupid things for instance he said that uh it can be a NATO Country Now put Russia for for as long
as there's been NATO has said we're never going to agree to that and we go right up front and say that and we did things and said things through this president with a low IQ very low IQ he had a low IQ 30 Years Ago by the way but now he might not even have a IQ at all there is no there's nothing on the board that goes this long he said things that were so stupid that that that war would have been that war had zero chance of happening if I were there zero chance
he was saying everything the opposite everything the opposite and it's so sad because many more people have been killed in Ukraine than you read about you don't read about how Bloody it is and how DES hey look just in the two armies you're lost a half a million people and and you know Ukraine's having a hard time Ukraine I don't know if you saw the article recently and it's true you don't hear the true story but if you think about it uh Russia's gone you know Russia defeated Germany with us and they defeated Napoleon you
know they've been around a long time they're a big fighting force and it's very unfair and Ukraine now doesn't have enough men they're now using young men and very old men to fight and it's it we're in a very bad position and I'm not going to blame exclusively but but I can tell you I could have stopped that and a smart president could have stopped that it wouldn't have happened but we had a we had a man that actually made it it made it more prevalent it it it was so bad the words that he
was using the stupid threats coming from a stupid face that that he was using I said this guy's going to cause us a war he's going to cause us and let me tell you it can lead to World War I that can lead to World War I the Middle East can lead to we have numerous places that could end up World War I right now for no reason whatsoever I think you're right I think I think people under underrate the risk of World War I and it's just the the you know when when looking at
the risk of global thermonuclear Warfare It's game over for Humanity and you know that's it's something that people have I think after the end of the Cold War people have become complacent about but they're actually have forgotten that there are currently a lot of nuclear missiles that that that are that that have targeting parameters for the United States other countries and one of the things we're going to do is we're going to build an iron Dome over us we're you know Israel has it we're gonna have the best Iron Dome in the world we need
it and we're g to make it all in the United States but we're gonna have we're gonna have protection because it just takes one maniac to you know start something we're gonna have protection and we're gonna have why shouldn't we have an Iron Dome Israel has one some other place have one that nobody even knows about frankly but uh Israel has it we're gonna have an iron dome but you know with all of that being said to me that's so important the most important but with all of that being said the elections coming up and
the people want to hear about the economy and the fact that they can't buy groceries because they don't have enough money to buy groceries the inflation has killed them food prices are up 50 60 even 100% in some cases and this this stupid Administration allowed this to happen and it's a shame and that's the thing that people most care about in my opinion they care about the Border a lot and we discussed the border at Great length it's nice to have a forum like this where I can discuss something at length and by the way
you think Biden could do this interview do you think that K could do this interview they would take a pass you they could not so they don't need Elon they don't need Elon screaming out questions it's it's pretty sad when you think that somebody that does this for a living can't answer a question or is afraid to do an interview and in her case with a very friendly interview she's got all friendly interviewers is pretty abut but the big thing now is the economy Elon and as much as yeah I mean I view nuclear as
the single most important thing but a lot of people don't a lot of people don't understand that but it doesn't have to if I understand that that's all you need because if I was President you're not going to have that kind of a problem but the the thing that they really is making them angry is what kamla and Biden have allowed to happen to the economy it's a disaster with inflation the infl it doesn't matter what you make the inflation is eating you alive if you're a worker or if you're a a uh just a
a middle-income person you can't afford you know four years ago five years ago people were saving a lot of money today they're using all their money and borrowing money just to live it's it's a horrible thing that's happening and we'll end that quickly yeah a lot of people just don't don't understand where inflation comes from um inflation comes from govern overspending because the check's never bounce when it's written by the government so if the if if the government uh spends far more than it brings in that increases the money supply and if the money supply
increases faster than the rate of goods and services that's inflation um so so really we need to have uh we need to reduce our govern spending um and we need to reexamine I think we I think we need like a government efficiency commission to say like hey where are we spending money that's sensible where is it not sensible um and and we need to live within our our means we we we're currently adding I think a trillion dollars to the deficit uh every roughly every hundred days that's um and you know the the interest payments
on the national debt have now exceed the defense budget it's on the order of a trillion dollars it's interest and and it keeps it keeps growing I rebuilt our military largely rebuilt our military did a great job on it which was so important you know we had Jets we had Fighters that were uh and bombers that were 70 years old we we did a great job in that then we by the way then we gave 85 billion of it back to Afghanistan if you can believe it we gave them 85 billion you know they're one
of the largest sellers of military equipment in the world they're selling what we gave them that was one of the most embarrassing days in the history of our country but uh if you think about go let's go back to the uh the economy we have to bring Energy prices down energy started it the price of gasoline now your cars require too much gasoline so you know you're you have a good and you do make a great product I have to say I have to be honest with you that doesn't mean everybody should have an electric
car but these are Minor Details but your your product is incredible but but the gasoline Elon is the the the cost of energy not only gasoline it's the cost of heating your house and cooling your house that has to come down it it's gone up 100% 150 and 200% and that has to come down when that comes down and we're going to drill baby drill you know they stopped Drilling and then they went back to drilling because they went went back to the Trump policy but if they won the day after they get into office
we're gonna this country will go out of business because they're going to go to an energy policy that's not sustainable wind and different things you're not gonna have anything and and I know you're a big fan of the AI and I have to say that Ai and this is shocking to me but AI requires twice the energy that the country already produces for everything so you're going to have to build we're going to have to build a lot of energy if our country will be competitive with China because that's our primary competitor for this on
the AI you're gonna need a lot of electricity you're GNA need tremendous electricity like almost double what we produce now for the whole country if you can believe it sure um well just going you know back to this the this this basic thing which that people try to make it sound complicated but it's not but inflation is caused by government overspending um would would you would you agree that that we need to take a look at government spending and and and and have perhaps a government efficiency commission uh that that just look tries to make
the spending sensible and so the country lives within its means just like just like a person the waste is incredible and it's nobody negotiates prices uh you used to have a lot of people making Jets and you end up with two companies and they'll probably try and merge at some point you you I mean I I WIP through it like air for just a a thing like Air Force One one of the first documents they asked me to sign a general walk said sir will you please sign this document what is it Air Force One
that's with Boeing which is basically two planes 2747s and the price was 5.7 billion dollar for two planes now now they're highly sophisticated they're even nicer than your playing okay but much more sophisticated very I won't say what's on it but they got a lot of stuff on it anyway but it's 5.7 that's that's a crazy number a crazy number but I said I'm not gonna pay 5.7 I'm not going to do it I said who made the deal Obama and his people I said well then I know the deal is no good I'm not
GNA do it and over a course of about four weeks by my saying I'm not going to do it I got the price reduced by $1.6 billion do for the exact same plane other than we had a nicer paint job if you want to know the truth but for the exact same play I got I saved one and I said to Boeing man you guys must make a lot of money if you can reduce the price by that but now what I do hear is that they're going back to the uh Biden Administration and wanting
big cost overruns you know because they see these Dopey suckers in there and they'll end up getting some of the money back but I shaved it by $1.6 billion dollar for the exact same plan and and you can now take that and multiply that out times thousands of other items the numbers are astronomical I agree with you well I mean if so so I mean I mean I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at at these things and and just ensures that the taxpayer money that
the taxpayers hard-earned money is spent in a good way um and and and I I'd be happy to help out on such a commission if it were formed well you you're the greatest cutter I mean I look at what what you do you walk in and you just say you want to quit they go on strike I won't mention the name of the company but they go on strike and you say that's okay you're all gone you're all gone so every one of you is gone and you are the greatest you would be very good
oh you would love it but you know if you look at ARG be happy by the way congratulations I just looked at the number of people that are listening to you and I chat we'll quot a chat but uh congratulations this is very good I mean it's great it's and and you're an interesting character you know the uh new head of a place called Argentina and he was he's a big you know he's great and he's a big magga fan you know that he ran on magga and he took it to an extreme too he
ran on magga and I hear he's doing really a terrific job it's called make Argentina great again it worked out perfectly he came in he bought a lot of hats he brought over but he's he's doing a big job he really cut and I'm hearing they're starting to do pretty well inflation's getting down you know they had like 2,000% they had inflation like like not normal inflation they had the the real deal but we're gonna have that pretty soon we we have I think we have the worst inflation we've had in a hundred years they
say it's 48 years I don't believe it I think we have the worst they don't include a lot of the items that should be included you know yeah well it's it's it's it's just from from government overspending and not just not spending taxpayer money effectively and and having you know just depart like so many departments you can't even name them all um and what Malay is doing um is you know he's he's cutting govern spending he's simplifying things he's uh having you're putting in regulations that make sense and I and and and we're Argentina o
overnight is experiencing uh a giant Improvement in prosperity but but it's also a lesson for the United States which is that um Argentina used to be one of the most prosperous countries in the world um you know in the I think in in the 30s 4S and and because of bad government policy it ruined the country and and you take Venezuela for example Venezuela should be incredibly prosperous they they have you know phenomenal uh reserves of of everything oil everything and uh should be prosperous but if the government's wrong it it impoverishes the people and
so I think we should not be complacent in the United States in thinking that and taking out prosperity for granted because if with bad government policy we can run the country into the ground and that that's that's just something people should bear in mind don't take prosperity for granted well well think of education so we're ranked at the bottom of every list of the top 40 we're ranked number 40 number 38 uh Norway uh Switzerland Sweden different countries are ranked good actually China is pretty close to the top they're a top six or seven but
we're ranked at the bottom almost at the bottom 38 39 40 in other words horrible and yet we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world so we spend more and what I'm going to do one of the first acts and this is where I I need an Elon Musk I need somebody that has a lot of strength and courage and smarts I want to close up Department of Education move education back to the states where where where States like Iowa where States like Idaho you know not every state will do great
because states that basically aren't doing good now you look at Gavin nusum the governor of California he uh he's terrible he's does a terrible job so he's not going to do great with education but of the of the 50 I would bet that 35 would do great and 15 of them or you know 20 of them will be as good as Norway you know Norway is considered great uh you can name them I mean just they're so good some of these countries are so good but if if you go into some of these really well-run
States you know we have states that don't know what debt is we have states that are have low taxes no debt everybody working you know they're really well-run and maybe they have certain advantages in terms of location in terms of you know the land or the the sun the sun and the water and the whole thing you know there are a lot of advantages that some people but if you moved education back to the 50 you'll have some that won't do well but you'll have but they'll actually be forced to do better because it'll be
a pretty bad situation but if you think about it you'll have some of these states I'll bet you'd have 30 35 States it'll be much better and you know what it'll cost less than half what it is in in Washington and these people don't care about students in these you know far away States and it would be it' be unbelievable yeah I think you're making a good point in that um if the states have to have to if if each individual if each state has to compete against other states then then people will naturally move
to to states where it's better well like California you know as we said it's it's a badly Run State I could go through I got so many friends that are in those States even if they're Democrats I hate to mention certain States but Illinois badly run with priter he's a he's a real loser but but you know some of these places are just deadly run but you know it's almost going to force them to run better and they won't do a good at initially but but can you're not going to do worse than you're doing
right now and I would say that the cost you would cut your cost by 50 or 60% and you'd have a little monitor you know you want to make sure they're teaching English as an example you know give us a little English right sure yeah no I mean I mean I mean some of these Governors are like are are doing so badly I mean they they got so many people moving out of their state they should they should get you whole sales of the Year award because they're driving so much fuel it's actually amazing people
moving out isn't it amazing to you as a businessman that they can even survive like Illinois so many people are leaving and you wonder how do they survive I mean how do they survive uh I saw where you left California and you moved to Texas Texas does a great job uh but you know I mean I just wonder how do these states survive when big businesses oil company just left California as you know and they moved to Texas how do these big States survive when they lose so many businesses and their taxes are already really
high you know their taxes are among the highest taxes you you almost wonder how do they how do they continue on and in many cases the governors don't do a good job and they're crime ridden places you wonder how do they continue to just go on it's it's not it's not a good situation I mean I think the thing that's only thing that's going to force some of these states to change is if they risk bankruptcy and they're not getting bailed out by the federal government right well that's the only gonna get them changed you
remember the area in California where they had that where I guess uh somebody had Sticky Fingers and they sto a lot of money and uh they went into a form of chapter and it was very nasty for a period of time but now it's probably the most popular place in all of California so so you know at some point something like that may have to happen but the problem is uh you can't penalize people that loan money to the state when you have incompetent people like a pritsker look the family didn't want him in the
family business and uh then he ends up being governor of Illinois so you know what is he gonna be is he gon to be a great governor and uh you know you have people I could name every one of them I got to know every one of these and some are very good and some are just horrible well I think that I mean the logic Point here to you know as you're saying like the you know a lot of people are concerned about the economy a lot of people concerned about inflation and inflation is effectively
a tax on people that that that save money and and and for people that are working dayto day it's it's it's just it's just a form of Taxation um and uh and if we can solve the government's spending problem will solve the inflation problem which means people will have a better standard of living and that's that's a really big deal well the people that got hurt worst are the people that did it the way they were taught to do it all through you know their younger life and their their young life and their whole life
the people that saved money and then they got no interest on their money and inflation destroyed them and frankly they were almost better off if they didn't do anything like that I mean those people have been absolutely decimated and we're going to bring those people back and help those people we've got to get the prices down you know when I look at bacon costing five four or five times more than it did a few years ago when when you look at some of the food products and groceries people go they can't believe it they used
to be able to buy a whole cart and today you know a lot of people just don't have the money they go in and they can't buy anything they they look at yeah it's sticker shock they call it sticker shock right I I think it really just come like said I think just comes down to to to Really I guess really two things which is is that if if you solve government overspending you solve inflation which improves living perant of the of the average person and then and then if if you deregulate like have sensible
regulations so because lot of the regulations are nonsensical and and cause the cost to be extreme for no reason um and but unless you've got effective deregulation like Reagan did did a great job on deregulation in the 80s but it's been 40 years since we hadn't at anyone really I mean during your Administration we made some progress but I think uh there opportunity to make I think radical progress with sensible regulation um and and and those two things yeah the big deal we set a record we set a we did more deregulation and more uh
restrictions on all of the different businesses than any other president i c remember I had the rule for every one we put in you have to get rid of 10 or 12 and we we did radical cuts on all of that and a lot of that's being put back by this Administration and we did radical cuts on things that weren't necessary but we were we were all said you know we had the best economy ever maybe in the world and then what happened is co came in and we had to focus on that and nobody
knew what it was and I always say I got good marks on economy good marks on Military we knocked out Isis we did so many different things we rebuilt but you know I never got the credit that we really deserved on what we did with with Co we never got the credit but uh we were if had that not happened the gift from China from Wuhan uh came in from Wuhan the Wuhan La labs and I always said it and it turned out to be right but had that not had that not happened we were
set to start reducing debt we're going to reduce taxes further I gave the largest tax cuts and we were going to reduce taxes still further for Middle income people not only businesses but we did it for businesses because they're the ones that that's why we had the great job numbers but we were set to really start reducing debt and you know we we're sitting on the the biggest pile of liquid gold anywhere in the bigger than Saudi Arabia bigger than Russia and we were going to drill and we were going to make so much money
we were going to supply Europe with oil I had stop the Russian Pipeline and we were going to supply them with oil and gas we were gonna we were gonna make a fortune and then uh the covid came in and we had to we really had to divert then what happened is when they came in you know we we kept a lot of businesses alive if I didn't do what we did we would have had a 1929 type depression but the problem is when bid came in he got trillions of dollars and just started spending
it stupidly you didn't need it anymore you know we got over that bad period where it was everybody was dying and feeling you know it was it was just not a good period interestingly uh you know during his administration many more people died during his administration of covid than during my Administration and we really got the brunt of it but people don't realize more people died during his administration than but it diverted us from doing what I wanted to do but we had the greatest for you know almost three years we had the great and
you know that probably better than anybody so many of your friends said to me the best years we've ever had in business were during the Trump years and and also said that uh African-American uh Hispanic American were so incredible they were having the best Asian-American women men young people without a diplom young people that graduated from the best colleges from from MIT from the Wharton School from all of the great colleges Harvard they were doing better and people without a diploma were doing better and everybody was was happy and then Co came and we had
a we had the problem is they spent trillions and trillions of dollars they wasted they shouldn't have taken any money and we wouldn't be having inflation right now which is killing our country yeah yeah yeah absolutely I mean I should probably say say something about like you knowbe my views on you know climate change and oil and gas um because uh I think probably different from what most people would assume um because I My Views are actually pretty I think moderate in this regard which is that I I don't think we should vilify the oil
and gas industry and the people that have worked very hard in those Industries to provide the necessary energy to to support the economy and and if we were to stop using oil and gas right now we would all be starting and the economy would collapse uh so it's you know I don't think it's right to sort of vilify the oil and gas industry um and and I and I you know and the world the world has a certain demand for oil and gas and it's probably better if the United States provides that than than than
some other countries um and and it would it would help with prosperity in the US um and at at the same time obviously my view is is like we do over time want to move to um a sustainable energy economy because eventually do run out of I mean you run out of oil and gas it's not there it's not infinite um and there is there is some risk I think it's not the risk is not as as high as uh you know a lot of people say it is with respect to global warming but I
think if if you if you just keep increasing the cost million in the atmosphere uh long enough eventually it actually simply gets uncomfortable to uh to breathe people don't realize this if if the if you go to if you go past a thousand POS million of of CO2 uh you start getting headaches in Oria um and so we're we're now in the sort of 400 range we're adding I think about roughly two parts per million per year so I mean still gives us so what it means like we still have quite a bit of time
um but but so there's not like we don't need to to rush and we don't need to like you know stop Farmers from farming or you know uh prevent people from having Stakes or basic stuff like that like like leave the farmers alone I agree how crazy is that where you have Farmers that are not allowed to farm anymore and have to get rid of their cattle and the whole whole world is a little crazy but it's largely taken its lead from us I I do say though I've heard in terms of the fossil fuel
because even to uh create your electric car and create the electricity needed for the electric car you know fossil fuel is what really creates that at the generating plants and you know so you sort of can't get away from it at this moment I mean someday you might be able to but I do hear we have anywhere from a 100 to 500 years left you know much of it hasn't even been found yet yeah but there are tremendous like anoir I got anoir in Alaska approved Ronald Reagan couldn't do it nobody could do it everybody
tried nobody could do it I got it approved the first thing that Biden did was unimproved it to get rid of it he uh ended it his uh his secretary went in and she ended it and what a what a disgrace that's andw that's bigger or they they think it could be bigger than Saudi Arabia in Alaska could be bigger than Saudi Arabia but they went in and they terminated it and I'll get it going very quickly because not only is it big for Alaska I mean you talk about economic development that for the United
States I mean that that is they say bigger than Saudi Arabia or the same size and pure really good stuff and you know they ended so I think we have you know perhaps hundreds of years left nobody really knows but during that during that time will come around that will be very good yeah well I mean my my estimate would be you know a little more aggressive than that but it's it's not the sort of like we're all goingon to die in five years stuff that that's obviously BS um but I mean my view is
like if you just look at sort of the posture million uh that increments every year you know you get sort of two or three post million every year of of CO2 u i mean my I I think some of that it's problematic if it accelerates if you start going from two or three to say five and then there may be some situations where uh you get to just a step change increase in the CO2 um and and I think we don't we don't want to get too close to a thousand PPM because like that's that's
actually makes it un comfortable to to to to breath like just existing in in a th000 PPM CO2 is is uncomforable that's that's like a that's considered like an industrial Hazard right just so so it's you know that's that's actually you start getting headaches and stuff so it's even without global warming it's not it's not comfortable you you don't want to get too close to that but I mean I think we've got I think we want to just move over like and if if I don't know 50 to 100 years from now we're um we're
we're I don't know mostly sustainable I think that'll probably be okay um so it's it's it's not like the the house is on on fire immediately but it I think it it is something we we need to to move towards and on you know on balance it's probably better to move their faster than slower but but like like I said without vilifying the oil and gas industry uh and and and without causing hardship in the short term I think this can be done um with without you know people still have you know a stake and
they can still drive gasoline cars and they you know it's it's it's okay it's like it's not I don't think we should valify people for it but I think we should just just generally lean in the direction of of sustainability um and uh I I actually think solar is is going to be a majority of of Earth's energy generation uh in the future and it's certainly trending that way and and so you get the solar power um combine that with with with batteries so of because obviously the sun doesn't shine at night and uh and
then you use that to charge the electric cars and you have a long-term sustainable solution and you know that that's what Tesla is trying to move things towards and I think we've made a lot of progress progress in that regard but when you look at our cars we we we like we don't believe that environmentalism that caring about the environment should should mean that you have to suffer so we make sure that our cars are are beautiful that they drive well if they're fast they're you know sexy I mean they're they're cool in fact literally
I mean the sexy model model 3 Model X and Y spells out sexy it was probably most expensive joke out there um but you know I just I don't know I like cheesy humor you know so um and but but I'm I'm I I'm a big fan of like let's have an inspiring future and let's uh let's work towards you know a better future and and and we can do so without demonizing people right I'm I'm okay you know it's very interesting uh you use the word global warming and today they use the word climate
change because you know you have some places that go up so they were getting themselves in a little trouble with the the word global warming because not every place is warming some places are going the opposite direction but uh you know I'm sort of waiting for you to come up with solar panels on the roofs of your cars and on the trunks of the cars and it just seems like something that at some point you will come up with I'm sure you'll be the first but it would seem that a solar panel on on the
roofs you know on flat surfaces on certain surfaces might be good yeah at least in certain areas of the country where you have the the world where you have the Sun but I would I would think and I have no idea because that's not my world but I would think that this would be something that would be interesting but you know the one thing that I don't understand is that people talk about global warming or they talk about climate change but they never talk about nuclear warming and to me that's an immediate problem because you
have as I said five countries we have major nuclear and and you know probably some others are getting there and that's very dangerous that's where you need a strong American president because you just you don't want to have this proliferation but you have five countries and getting more you know China is much less than us right now but they're they're going to catch us sooner than people think they're way lower Russia and us are number one and I we're sort of tied and China is far behind but they're developing at a level that you know
you're not surprised to hear very fast it's G to they'll end up catching up maybe even surpassing but to me the biggest problem is not uh climate change it's not and and and everything's you know a problem but it's degrees to me the big problem is the nuclear power the power of nuclear is so great and when I talk about I'll prevent World I'll prevent World War II uh I will but but the truth is that you have to because this is no longer army tanks going back and forth and shooting at each other this
is yeah a level of dis Str struction and power that nobody's ever seen before yeah and actually there's there's the bad side of nuclear which is nuclear war very bad side but there's there's also I think um nuclear electricity generation is underrated um and it's actually you know people have this fear of nuclear um nuclear electricity Generation Um but but it's actually one of the safest forms of electricity generation it's it's it's just a huge misunderstanding um and uh if you look at the injuries and deaths you know caused by say I mean I'm not
going to try to pick on call mining but just any kind of mining operation um and uh there a certain number of injuries death per year and you compare that to nuclear nuclear is actually way better um so it's it's underrated as a as an electricity source and I think it's it's something that's worth reconsidering but there's so much regulation that people can't get it done um so that you know maybe they'll have to change the name the name is just it's a rough name there are some areas like you see what happened bad have
to Rebrand it we'll have to give it a good name we'll name it after you or something you know um no it hey it has a branding problem you know when you see what happened it does have a branding problem when you see what happened in Japan where they say you won't be able to go on the land for about 3,000 years did you ever see that and in Russia where they had the problem where they you know the there's a lot of bad things happened and they have a problem and they say that in
2,000 years people will start to occupy the land again you know you realize it's pretty bad but there's you're right aming it's actually not that bad so so like after Fukushima happened in Japan like people were asking me in California you know are we worried about like a nuclear Cloud coming from Japan I'm like no that's crazy it's it's actually it's not even dangerous in Fukushima I actually flew there and and and ate locally grown vegetables on TV to prove it um and and and I donated a a a solar water treatment yeah solar power
system for water treatment plant and um yeah but you haven't been feeling so well lately and I'm worried about it no no but I mean I'm only it's fine you know it's it's like uh you know Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they're they're like full cities again so it's really not something that you know it's it's not as scary as people think basically but um let's see I mean I mean are there's some other topics we should touch on um oh you know like lafare I think you know we need to be concerned
about what they've done to this country obviously yeah yeah well we just won the big case in Florida this was a Biden Administration did something that's never been done in this country and that's go after their political opponent me with this nonsense uh and just nonsense in the big case in Florida we won but they've always they always pick a judge and a jury and they use local Das they use the local U uh attorney generals like fonnie you know F spelled f a n i fonnie and it's it's all a big hoax and it's
all run from there like in Manhattan uh the one of the top people from the justice department went in Ran Manhattan ran the state the Leticia James deal was run by a person from the Department of Justice Biden they've never done this before and they set up a very bad precedent it it's it's called lawfare Warfare it's uh it's a terrible thing never happened in our country it does happen in banana republics and third world countries but it's never happened and the incredible thing is it actually drove my numbers up because people see you know
fortunately I have a platform like you or you know in all fairness like a conversation like this where I can talk about it and people understand I mean you you fight for election integrity and you end up getting indicted because you're fighting for election integrity and when the day comes that you can't fight for election Integrity you don't have a country anymore so what happens what happens is they went after their political opponent me now Biden's a you know close to vegetable stage in my opinion okay I I looked at him today on the beach
and I said why would anybody allow him the guy could barely walk why would anybody allow him does he have a political advisor that think this looks good uh you know he thinks this looks good because it looks so bad and it's it's ridiculous I mean and he's been doing that for a long time you know he can't lift the chair the chair weighs about three ounces it's meant for children and old people to LIF and he can't lift it the whole thing is crazy well he clearly not I mean he's clearly like we just
don't have a president right you don't have a president and she's gonna be worse than him because she is a San Francisco liberal who destroyed San Francisco and then as attorney general she destroyed California you talk about location and we're talking about the sun and the water and all there's nothing better than California she has destroyed that she was the original da she was the original in San Francisco she was the original attorney general in California what she has done to California is well you know better than I do you just left California for a
lot of those reasons and what she's done with with crime with with cashless baale where you kill somebody I mean we have states there you kill somebody and they let you out right away I mean you you don't have to even put up and then they never find the people unless they kill again and then they let them out again our our country is becoming a very dangerous place and she is a radical left San Francisco liberal and now she's trying to protect now she's looking like she's she wants to be more Trump than Trump
if that's possible I don't think it's possible but she wants to be more Trump than Trump yeah I want a war I you know she wants to release all the prisoners that are in detention and some of these guys are really bad right that just came out today she wants she doesn't want to build the wall even though the walls work walls and wheels you know in your business everything you do is obsolete almost well not the tunnels but everything is obsolete even your rocket ships they like a month later they're obsolete you find a
better way to the only thing that's not obsolete is a wall and a wheel and the wall you know I built hundreds of miles of wall and that's why we had such good numbers I was going to add 200 miles we bought it we could have flipped it flipped it up in three weeks and they sold it for five cents on the dollar that meant I said wow that means that they actually do want to have open borders she wants to have open borders and now she's going like she's tough on the on the border
it's such a lie yeah this is simply not true this is simply not true everybody knows it's it's a disgrace that she can say it no I mean obviously what what's happening sort of overnight is they're they're rewriting his history and um and making uh kamla sound like a moderate when in fact she is far left like far far left worse than Bernie Sanders he is considered more liberal by far than Bernie Sanders she's a radical left lunatic and if she's going to be our president very quickly you're not gonna have a country anymore and
she'll go back to all of the things that she believes in she believes in defunding the police she believes in no fracking zero you no now all of a sudden she's saying no I I will I really want to see fracking the day the if they got in the day she got in she'll end fracking and by the way if people didn't think that the lunatics that that really believe in that uh they won't vote for it you know um like like the Palestinians and Israel she is so anti-israel and she's bad for both Biden
actually did something that was impossible both sides hate him you know both sides that was a hard thing to do unification yeah no no I mean I mean the you know Netanyahu came to give a a talk to a joint Senate and House uh sitting and I was there and and and comma stood him up you know what does that say I think it's highly disrespectful and I say if you're a Jewish person or if you believe in Israel if you're a a person that you know is a very pro Israel if you vote for
her it's worse than and Biden was bad but if you vote for her you ought to have your head examined and you see tonight I mean as we're doing this I'm seeing reports coming that they expect an attack tonight or tomorrow from hundreds and maybe thousands of rockets you know their Iron Dome as they call it as we all call it but their Shield that they build uh that can be uh swamped we'll use the term that's appropriate swamp but they swamp it by shooting enough missiles you know this better than anybody by shooting enough
missiles they can't defend themselves you know they just obliterate the whole place and that's what some people think they're looking to do and we have no leadership there's no respect for the United States of America with these people and I'm telling you she'll be worse than him because she's a believer in being radical left and he wasn't I I think you're right I mean you're really it's it's important for the for the public that maybe listening to this to say to look at K's track record you know uh before the last like month and say
uh is that a track Rec could you agree with um and I think if you're an independent uh moderate you definitely would not agree with it um because it is her behavior has been far-left and we're seeing just an overnight propaganda attempt to rewrite history and make it sound like H is moderate when she in fact is is not moderate well her uh her running mate uh approved signed into legislation tampons in boys bathrooms okay now that's all I have to hear tampons and boys bathrooms and that means she believes in that too I mean
she she picked this guy because he was the closest to a lot of people thought she'd pick sort of the opposite but she picked an anti-israel radical left person but she is far worse they say than Bernie Sanders if we have her as a president if we have a Democrat at this moment as a president I don't think our country can survive I I think it's I think it's a massive I think I think we're in massive trouble uh frankly with with a KLA Administration and that's my honest opinion um and uh and I I
think uh I think really it's essential that that you win for the good of the country uh this election and I mean that's understating my opinion um now you know you may have seen this but I I got a letter from the the the EU commission like saying you know to not have disinformation on the like during this discussion that we're having like and you know there like there there's a lot of attempts to do censorship and to force censorship even on Americans uh from other countries and um you know what do you think about
that well I know the uh European Union very well they take great advantage of the United States in trade as you know we uh through a different Forum NATO uh we protect them and yet uh if you build a car in the United States you can't sell it in Europe you just can't sell it it's it's impossible uh the same thing with our Farmers our Farmers find it very difficult to do business you know we have a deficit with them of $250 billion doll which people don't know it sounds so nice the European Union but
let me tell you they're they're uh not as tough as China but they're bad and I let them know it and that's probably why they notified you no they don't treat treat our country well we defend them you know uh with Ukraine so we're in for 250 billion and they're in for about 71 billion and they have the same size it's if you add up the European nations that you know in terms of an economy it's about the same size wouldn't you say as us and they're and and and they're in much greater risk they
they're right there we have an ocean separating us from in this case the enemy would be Russia you to be for the Soviet Union but let's assume they're close enough and what happens is uh they're in for 70 something million I think I think even less than that billion and we're in for about 250 billion and it could be a lot higher than that and I say why aren't you going to equalize why aren't they paying what we're paying and they're in much more you know they're it's much more important for them because of the
fact that you know they're right near there I mean they're all sort of in that location we're not but they should they should and I did it with NATO we were there were only seven countries that were paid up in NATO out of 28 at the time and the United States was subsid the United States was subsidizing NATO tremendously subsidizing NATO and I said I went in and I said you got to pay up if you don't pay up we're not going to defend you any longer I took a lot of heat but you know
what happened billions and billions of dollars came flowing in and yeah I I think I think a lot of the public isn't isn't aware of the fact that the United States pays a disproportionate share of of the NATO expenses and then we get taken advantage of on trade so think about it yeah well I mean the point of NATO is defending Europe and it's uh you know it it's like then okay well why why is the United States paying disproportionately more to defend Europe than Europe that doesn't make sense that's unfair um and that that
is an appropriate thing to address well you know when you talk about cutting and savings and everything else I mean honestly look there's nobody that feels worse about the Ukraine situation than I do because I know it would have never happened I know zalinski he was very honorable to me because when they went with the Russia hoax and they said I had a phone call with him he said it was a perfect phone call it was a great phone call he could have grandstand it and you know said oh he he was very threatening he
said no it was a very nice phone call you I called him up to congratulate him on his win and you end up getting impeached because these people are lunatics you know I was talking about the difference from the people within and the enemies on the outside in many cases the people from within are more dangerous for our country than the Russians and the chin if you have a smart president you're not gonna have a problem with them you're gonna make you're gonna do things yeah now they've taken advantage of us incredibly but you're going
to do things with the right person yeah well I I I think I think it's obvious that you're you're you're a believer in an advocate of of Free Speech because during your first time as president you were attacked relentlessly every day often very unfairly with f you know with with false attacks and and you didn't try to shut down the media you didn't try to uh inhibit their freedom of speech and I think that his lot well the good thing is that you and I have and some people very few uh we can get the
word out although sometimes it's hard because they don't want to print it you know like like we're having a great conversation right now Cala wouldn't have this conversation she can't because she's not smart you know she's not a smart person by the way she can't have this conversation and Biden we don't even have to talk about it I mean he couldn't have this conversation he he would have given up in the first half of a question he would have walked out he would have said where am I where am I going so anyway but no
he wouldn't have this that's true not a lot of people would have this conversation but you know we cover a lot of territory but the beauty is that you you know we can have a conversation and get it out without because I get this is a really big point you can actually have a conversation with you and you can't have a conversation with Biden or Kamal it's like not it's not possible so this is like talking to an NPC so it's just impossible well but think of it we need a man or person who's unbelievably
sharp in order to stop all the nuclear danger and all the dangers that I'm talking about and I got along with all the you know I got along with Kim Jong-un we had dinner we had everything and he he really liked me and I got along with him really well by the way he's he's the absolute boss over there you know a lot of people said oh do you think you really let me tell you I saw things that you don't want to know about he is the boss but we had a good relationship and
and he doesn't like uh Biden he considers him a stupid man he said he's a stupid man well at least he speaks his mind but you know in this country you're not sort of allowed to say it but I guess you you should be allowed to say that it's true but we need really we need smart people and we need people that have an ability to lead and she doesn't have that ability can you imagine now you know chairman she very well can you imagine her and him negotiating or even standing together it it is
the whole concept is ridic she is terrible she's terrible but she's getting a free ride I saw a picture of her on Time Magazine today she looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live I it was a drawing and uh actually she looked very much like a great first lady Melania she look she didn't look she didn't look like Camila that's right but of course she's a beautiful woman so we'll leave it at that right yeah well you know maybe like I think it's part of what you know people in America want to you
know people in America want want to feel excited and inspired about the future they want to feel like the future is going to be better than the past and that this that America's going to do things that are great than we've done in the past reach New Heights that make you proud to be an American and uh and excited about the future um they want the American dream back you know they want the American dream back more important than anything else it's it's like you don't have that today because the people they've been just sucked
they see incompetent people running our you know the the Biden thing is very interesting people just found him to be incompetent and when I debated him I was like is this for real it was yeah just it was just absurd um but you know I think there there are like you know some some you know Grand projects that that that we could do I mean I think like you know we could we could build a base on the moon we could send American Naes to Mars we we could uh build build high-speed connections that are
you know more advanced than anything else in the world between our cities so people have fast transport um you know it's possible to solve traffic with tunnels you know we already made great progress in Vegas doing that and um you know and and and just do things that are exciting and inspiring and make the future feel like it's better than the past well I saw what you did in Vegas and I'll tell you it was amazing I I got to see I took a big Glimpse at it and it's incredible what you you know it's
incredible and you could do that all over you could do that all over it's uh it's deep yeah you don't even need much structure you know assuming you're in the right area no it's it's straightforward it's amazing so and and like I think we could do some some things that like like China's got incredible highspeed Rail between its cities but I think it's actually possible um with with with tunnels if if with deregulation with with an ability to actually was like legal to to actually do the tunnels think you could have high-speed tunnels that are
actually better uh than than than anything else in the world for high-speed transport between cities and that would be something that you know Americans can say wow okay we've got something that's cooler than anyone else in the world that's that's kind of thing that makes you proud to be in America and much safer than surface uh trains where there is a danger there you know with people with crazy people it's much safer much better and you know it's sad because I've seen some of the greatest frames I I find it fascinating and I've seen the
systems and how they work and the bullet trains they call them I guess and they they go unbelievably fast unbelievably comfortable with no problems and we don't have anything like that in this country not even close and it doesn't make sense that we don't doesn't make sense yeah I think also like there's you know I just kind of hopping on the excess regulation but I think something that um like I think people can generally understand is that what happens with laws and regulations is that they just there's more and more of them every year and
unless there's a process to clean them up eventually everything becomes illegal and and that actually SL slow it slows down the development of new technologies I mean if you take the sort of like I think we this there there's room for some reform at the at the FDA for yeah improving the speed with which we you know approve uh drugs that that could help save lives and improve people's lives um and I work very hard on that you know we got that down to to the lowest number ever and we got uh Therapeutics approved in
the FDA that people can't even believe the speed but I I took them on I I don't think they like me too much but I got approved in the FDA at at at numbers that they wouldn't believe and you know it's a very bureaucratic group actually it's a fine group of people in many cases I got to know a lot of them but I was pushing them really hard for regenerant for so many different things that that were really pretty amazing but but the FDA takes too long they would it's 12 years to get a
product approved I got it down to four and I got some things done very quickly but it's uh it's really something that is going to have to be worked on because it takes too long just takes too long yeah it just takes too long and it's you end up in the same with with the approval but just it's just you know it takes years instead of something that that think could potentially take months and that impr improves people's lives I think you know and and but but it I I just wanted to hop on this
point that like there has to be an act of process uh for reducing rules and regulations because otherwise they they just keep building up every year and you get like hardening of the arteries and eventually everything's illegal or takes forever um and and then and then we we we just um we just aify as a society we just uh we can't make any progress and and that's it's a really big deal you know Elon just getting back to the FDA for one second I got something done called right to try this is where you can
go in and if you're terminally ill you can use a Space Age uh you know medicine or whatever it may we have the best doctors the best labs in the world we really do and but people would go to other countries because you couldn't use this the product even if they thought it worked because it's going through the FDA I got it approved where you can yeah you you basically look nobody want the doctors didn't want it because of the liability the country didn't want it our country because they didn't want to get sued these
are people terminally ill the insurance companies didn't want it and the pharmaceutical companies nobody wanted it I got everybody into a room and we came up with an agreement that you won't get sued and also they didn't want it on their record if somebody's terminally ill and they die after taking a drug they didn't want that on their record so we set a second a separate list if somebody was so it wouldn't count as a negative okay and as you know we got it done we have saved right to try they've been trying to get
this done for 58 years and it sounds simple but it wasn't because you know I mean you know the insurance companies nobody wanted it but we got it done somebody signs you signed a document that you're not going to sue the insurance companies the country you're not going to sue anybody and we got it done and we're saving tens of thousands of lives right to try hopefully you never need it but if you do you don't have to travel to Asia you know people if they had money they go to as they go to Europe
if they don't have money they go home and die that's what happened they'd go home and die yeah well well I mean actually to to give you some some props here it's like if a drug is improved approved in the in in Europe which has a crazy amount regulations it should obviously be approved in the US I mean they got more regulations than we do so what why would a drug be approved in Europe and not in the US that that's crazy well we did it we did something that really they've been trying to do
it for 50 years and they just couldn't get it done and I got it done and it's uh it's really something but you're right some people go to Europe because a drug isn't approved here but it's approved in Europe and it's a drug that generally speaking would work it's pretty crazy absolutely you're right and I think I think so as long as people are properly informed of the pros and cons and like these the risks the you know this are the risk and like you make your own decision um that's that makes sense well I
think just you know in sort of closing up and by the way I'm looking at the numbers you get a lot of people listening I hope you don't get nervous because you got a lot of people listening to you right now like 60 million or something what is that number it's crazy it's amazing how you can see that right away how many what is the number wow what is is it well I think in terms people that's bigger than you said you you said 25 and you're more than much more than double that number 25
million I think you're going to be 60 or 70 and I guess over a period of time hey that's I congratulate you do I get paid for this or not but well I I think actually in terms of the number of people that will will hear this conversation um over the next uh you know few days two weeks uh it's going to be hundreds that's what they say yeah that's good well look it's an honor I but I I just asked this are you better off now or were you better off when I was President
nobody's better off now people you know we put out polls on that and nobody's better off now inflation has killed it and you know they also feel very unsafe you look at what's going on with a lot of different things you look at the riots we had at the colleges over I mean ridiculous but all of the rights they just feel unsafe and now they really feel unsafe because you have a new form of crime it's called migrant crime I call it Biden migrant crime maybe I'll call it Camala migrant crime but you know I
mean with all these things I always try to like try to get to the ground Truth by just asking people and you know my my mom lives in New York and I I was like you know Mom you know do you know have any of your friends you know been attacked or assaulted and she said yeah three of her friends in three separate incidents were assault just just just in recent months just walking around the streets in New York and and I and and I said well did what what happened to the people that sold
them oh nothing they they got away like and and they they just know always get away nothing and they don't even they didn't even bother reporting it because there's not they know that there's not they're not gonna you know people are not going to get prosecuted they just they just let you know violent criminals out in New York the only one that gets prosecuted is Donald Trump they don't get they prosecute Trump yeah I mean it's it's it's just obviously messed up terrible if violent criminals are being are being getting off scar three um and
and and meanwhile that the this you know New York spending massive resources Prosecuting you and it's like what this you know and and I think the sort of sensible public said looks at this and saids what the heck's going on here this is obviously abuse the legal system um you know the legal system is supposed to be protecting the public from um violent and it it should be obviously allowing the public to make their own decision about who should be president as opposed to you know some uh you know legal case once they start this
precedent because this can go on with the next one I mean this is a very bad precedent what they're doing in terms of you know going after their political opponent and that's all it is it's going after their political opponent and and then you get a judge who's you know a strong Democrat and I'm being nice when I say that in many cases crooked as hell but you get a judge and you go into an area where a republican gets three or four perc of the vote and you know you'll have a jury pool with
uh people that hate Republicans or hate it could also be the other way though because it could start the other way in areas where they hate Democrats and you get into a Pandora's Box it's a very dangerous thing for this country and a very dangerous thing even for the state New York City is lo New York city and state lose a lot of business over they did to me because these people say we don't want that to happen to us that's no justice system you have an unfair system of justice and it's costing New York
State a tremendous amount of money people are leaving and companies are leaving and they won't come back so you know all of that stuff is important but the economy now is the big thing and we can turn that economy up so fast and people are going to be back again we're gon to get rid of inflation I think there's lot a lot of opportunity absolutely absolutely so and I just want I want to congratulate you you've done amazing job you are you have definitely got a fertile mind you know we can talk you and I
can talk about rocket kind of you to say thank you tunnels we can talk about tunnels and Rockets and and uh electric cars so many things and now you you're into the AI and that's goingon to be another Beauty I'll say so it's h yeah it's an amazing it's an amazing thing you've done Elon it's an amazing thing and I congratulate you I mean thank you and well I mean I just to say here you know here's to an exciting inspiring future that people can look forward to and be optimistic and excited about what happens
next and that's the kind of future that I think you will bring as president and that's why I endorse you well I appreciate that that endorsement meant a lot to me not all endorsements mean that much to be honest your endorsement me a lot and you know we have a a phrase make America great again it's pretty simple but it really says that we want to make America great again and we can do it we can do it now but if we were going to suffer another four years like we've suffered for the last four
years years I'm not sure the country can ever come back that's how bad it is it's so bad we have to we have to do a lot I think that's a very real RIS it's a big risk it's a very real risk and and you know I just like to to note to people listening like I've not been very political before and and just if you look at my TR my record it's I've actually been I'm I'm I'm not like since they try to paint me as like a far right guy which is absurd because
I'm like making electric vehicles and you know solar and batteries helping them with the environment and uh and and I actually I I uh you know I I supported Obama I stood in line for six hours to shake Obama's hand when when he was running for president and you know so it's not like I'm like some sort of died in the wool long-term Republic I'm actually i' call myself uh you know historically a moderate Dem Democrat and but now I feel like we're really at at a critical juncture for the country um and uh you
know I think a lot of people thought you know that Biden Administration would be a moderate Administration but it's not and and obviously we're just going to see um an even further left uh Administration with with KLA that's that's my honest opinion I mean her dad is literally I mean she was brought up as a as an actual your dad is is is a Marxist Economist that's you can Google it I mean it's not a we're not making this up you know um that's how she was brought up so and and we we we just
we want to have a future as prosperous and and I I think we're just at this critical juncture and um and it I think this is a case of the America uh is is gonna add a folk in the road and true um and I think it will take it will take if the path to like you are the path to prosperity and I think Kamala is the opposite then that's my I mean that's my honest opinion I'm G I'm gonna get attacked like crazy and you know I've also experienced quite a bit of lowf
far myself um and uh but I'm just trying to tell people my honest opinion and and I I haven't been active in really active in politics before um and I'm just trying to point out that my track record historically has been moderate if not moderate slightly left and and uh so this is the people out there who are in the moderate Camp to say I think you should support um Donald Trump for president um and and I I think it's actually a very important Junction in the road and and we're deep trouble if they don't
if if if it goes the other way well I want to thank you and you know I actually always did think of you as somewhat left I must say that so it's uh it's even more of an honor to have your endorsement I know how strong you feel about it but you know when you think of her uh San Francisco 15 years ago I had a great friend Bob Tish he said it's the greatest city in America and now it's you it's not it's almost not livable there and California likewise and she was involved in
the destruction of San Francisco and the destruction of California and she will be involved in the destruction of our country if people are so unwise as to elect her and I hope that doesn't happen and I hope the elections are going to be run honestly and we're going to turn this country around we're gonna we're going to do things that and we can do it fairly quickly and we have to get rid of the criminals that have been you know given to us by other countries as they laugh they laugh at us they think we're
stupid to accept these people these are radical Stone Cold Killers in many case cases and terrorists and in our country by the hundreds of thousands yeah and we have to take them out yeah I mean if I could summarize it perhaps you know I think the these are issues that I think most people in America uh would would agree with which is that we want safe and Clean Cities we want secure borders uh we want sensible government spending we want to restore both the perception and reality of respect in the in the in the judicial
system you know stop the law Fair um and uh and I think that that's like and how are how are those even right-wing positions I think those are just that's just common sense and and that's uh I mean would you agree with that 100% I I don't understand you know the whole they call it Progressive they don't like the word liberal anymore but call it liberal or Progressive I don't understand how somebody could say that it's okay for them to empty prisons into our country and again I told you their crime rates all over the
are going way down which makes sense in fact the next time what we'll do is if something happens with this election which would be a horror show we'll meet the next time in Venezuela because it'll be a far safer place to meet than our country okay so we'll go you and I will go and we'll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela because that's what's happening their crime rates coming down and our crime rates going through the roof and it's so simple and it's you haven't seen anything yet because these people have come into our
country and they're just getting acclimated and they don't know about being politically correct law enforcement or lack of law enforcement and our police I I have to just end with this we have great police we have great law enforcement but they're not allowed to do their job they have to be able to do their job without being destroyed well absolutely and it's it's obviously demoralizing if you're a police officer risking your life uh to you know to you know to arrest of violent criminals who could kill you and do kill you sometimes um and then
you arrest the violent Criminal and then the The Da you know doesn't prosecute and and that's let the guy out willing like why why should a police officer risk their life uh to arrest a violent felon well even worse nothing's gonna happen even worse they prosecute the police officer they they go after a and they prosecute the police officer and they take away his pension they take away his job he loses his family he loses his house well I I I thought I thought it was very telling like incredibly telling that you know when that
that was that case where uh you know sort of a gang of thugs beat up uh police officers I think it was in Times Square in New York and and and then nothing happened to those guys they were they were let out zero bail and I think a bunch of them were given free tickets to California well what is I mean that that is that is a that is a gross indignity against the United States and and that's how I mean this is insane like have we lost all prime what that how can such a
thing be allowed to occur I've never seen anything you know we see where they get shot it's very dangerous profession but something they're very proud of and they want to be able to do their job but I've seen them get shot I've seen a lot of but I've never seen where these guys are standing in the middle of a big street everybody watching them and they're literally boxing like punching stand up fighting a police officer there were two of them and you had about six of these guys and they're punching the hell out of them
and in their own country they would be dead if they did that they'd be shot they would be shot instantly and you know they come from these countries and it's taking them a while to realize that we don't do that in this country but in their own country if they stood on a street and had a fight with a police officer they would be shot there's no political correctness and it's such a sad it's such a sad thing to see and that's the reason you have crime by the way because we don't do anything about
it yeah we just cannot have a situation where our police officers beat beaten up on camera uh by you know gang of illegal immigrants and then nothing happens to to to the guys that beat beat up the cops I mean and they're let out this is unacceptable we're gonna change it and we're gonna get them out of the country you know when I first got involved they said you couldn't get them back to these countries you couldn't take them back in the case of uh Guatemala huras El Salvador some others you couldn't get it back
and I said really oh you can't get it back because under uh Obama he couldn't get him back they'd put up they'd fly him in and they' put planes on the runways in these countries so you couldn't land the plane they'd bring them back and the general told me the generals told me you sir we can't bring them back the countries won't accept MS13 gang members they won't accept them and I said really how much do we pay these various countries in terms of economic aid which is also somewhat ridiculous and the answer was $750
million I said good tell them they're in default they're delinquent we're not going to do we're not paying them anymore because they won't accept it and you know what happened they all called me every one of them they said we would be honored to take them back sir we would be honored it was so easy but it's one of those things and we got it back we took in so many you know MS13 is probably the worst gangs in the world they're the most vicious violent we took them out of here by the thousands and
got them out of here and their countries took them back and because I said you're not getting any more economic aid and once I said that they were they wouldn't take them back for Obama they wouldn't take them back for anybody and now we have a problem because we have this guy and they again they don't take him back anymore with the Biden because they don't respect him yeah yeah so it's just it's just gota it's just gotta be done we we just can't can't have uh whether they're citizens or not citizens we can't have
because they weren't Pro prosecuted citizens either not not just not just legals so uh that if it's you can't have violent you repeat violent offenders that are not that that that don't get um incarcerated that's right because they will they will obviously by definition continue to uh to to uh you know hurt people and and and I I think where part of this comes from is that there's um and I you know I do sort of consider myself liberal in some ways I mean I it's just that you want to have empathy for people obviously
you want to have empathy for people I totally agree with that you want to have empathy but you also have to have empathy for the victims of the criminals and if you if you just have empathy for the criminals it's it's actually shallow empathy it's not real you're not thinking you're not you have one layer deep uh empathy you got to say like what if you don't incarcerate this person who are they going to uh hurt who are they they might kill someone they might rap rape someone if if you don't incarcerate them you have
to have empathy for the victims and there's a lack of empathy for the victims of the criminals and and too much empathy for the criminals it doesn't make sense I that's why you want to have deep empathy for society as a whole not shallow empathy for criminals and we have to give our police officers the dignity and the respect that they deserve and we have to let them do their job they they can do a great job but we have to let them do their job and if we don't do that we you know it's
it's going to all it's going to all disappear there's never been a society like this where you're allowed to do anything you want and nothing happens and I'm talking about violent crime and it's going to get more violent because these are really really violent people and we're going to get them out of our country and we're going to get them back to where because they were sent here by the presidents and by the various people that run those countries and I know every one of those guys and they're smart people and they're StreetWise people and
they really think that the USA is stupid they think we're run by stupid people and they happen to be right but when I was there we had no problem we got them out we took out thousands of MS13 gang members we brought them back and now again they it's the same old story we don't do it and they actually gave them a big increase in a they they raised it up to billions of dollars and they get nothing for it so you know it's it's uh I hope everybody's gonna vote for Trump and we're gonna
get this country straight and I didn't need this I'm like I didn't need this I had a very nice life I didn't need to to go through court systems and go through all the other stuff and run at the time I have to run I have to go through fake trials with in some cases corrupt judges totally corrupt judges I didn't need it I had a nice life I have great locations I have beautiful oceans that I have places you know I this was but I felt it was important and if I had to do
if I had to do it over again you probably think I'm crazy for doing it actually but if I had to do it over again I would have done it over again because this is so much more important than me or my life this is we're to save this country this country is going down and these people are bad people that were running against and they're Liars they make statements they they they do things that are so bad they they say they're going to make a strong border they say they've been great on the border
and they've been the worst in history they say they're G to stop fact speak for themselves so incredible speak it's got got to the point where where people just don't even bother reporting crime in a lot of CI because they know nothing that's going to happen um you know that's what I hear anecdotally from from people all the time um so you know it's just uh you know my values I'm just saying to to people out there like my you know the things I I think are important for the future is like we've got to
have safe cities we got to have secure borders we got to have senseful spending and and we have and we've got to have de you know deregulation and um so we can have a prosperous future and then we want to have some exciting you know sort of moonshot projects that that people get get fired up about and um you know that's that's the future I'm looking for and um you know I'm Pro environment um but but I'm I'm not against uh you know I'm not like I don't think we should vilify the oil and gas
industry because they're they're keeping civilization going right now and uh but I do think we want to move you know you know a reasonable speed towards uh a sustainable energy economy those those are my values and and and I think um you know and and and so I mean that's uh why I'm supporting you president you know well I appreciate we're going to make we're going to give incentive to companies to come into our country not to leave our country we're going to be giving tremendous incentives we want companies to build here not to build
in other locations and we want to create jobs and again it's about the American dream you don't hear about the American dream anymore Elon you don't hear you're the American dream in the truest sense but you don't hear about the American dream anymore and you're going to hear about it people they need that incent intive to go out and Yeah and do it and they they're going to love their lives I mean they're going to love they're going to look forward to getting up in the morning and going to you know going to a job
that they love not a job that they can't stand or not any job at all where they have no money where they literally have no money and then they end up with violence and lots of other problems no we're gonna do we're gonna do some great things and I learned a lot in the first we had a great economy and all of that we rebuilt the military did so much but I also learned and I also learned the best people I learned the good people the the smart people the dumb people the people that can
do things the people you know you learn when I first came in I I tell people I was in Washington DC only 17 times according to the fake news media I was in 17 times I never stayed over and you don't know people you rely on other people to give your names and then you realize the people you relied on weren't so good now we had great people but we also had some where I wouldn't have you know used them had I known now I know everybody and I think we're going to uh we're going
to really turn things around fast we have no choice otherwise we're not going to have a country and I really appreciate this has been to me it's been a lot of fun being with you you're an amazing guy you've done an incredible job and a great inspiration to people a great inspiration and I hope you keep going and just uh continue to do well and we're going to have a big election coming up and I think November 5th will be the most important day in the history of our country I think that election will be
the most important election and I think it'll end up being maybe the most important day in the history of our country because if we don't win I just feel so sorry for everybody no we're I think we're at at a folk in the road of Destiny of of civilization and um and I think we need to take the the the right path and and I think uh you're the right path so I think that's what it comes down to thank you very much Elon it's a great honor and we'll we'll do it again sometime and
uh it's been really fun and I hope you got a lot of I hear you got a lot but I hope you I know you got a lot of them so uh I appreciate it I'll see you soon all right sounds good thank you [Music] [Applause]
