I've paid far more attention to Kamala than I ever imagined I would with a presidential candidate, listening to her interviews, speeches, and so on.
I suspect that many people, even people who are her partisans, are realizing something quite shocking. It's this: she knows less about policy, news, existing public controversies, and even recent history, than most people who read X or NYT or even just listen to the news on radio or TV. For that matter, I suspect that just about any person on the street knows more.
It's like she hasn't really paid much attention to anything for years. Interviewers are trying their best to be kind to her, but even the slightest bit of push on what she knows turns up a big nothing. It's not that she is being cagey or clever. The trouble is that she truly does not know.
It's hard to understand why. It could be that she has, for most of her career, been able to outsource knowledge and understanding to others. She has always just been a smiling face, the socializer, the spouter of bromides, and gotten by with faking it. After a while, it probably doesn't feel like faking; it feels like this is the way the job is supposed to be. She has not known any other way.
Now she is expected to play the part of someone who knows some minimum something about a range of issues, and she simply cannot deal with it. What's remarkable is that her champions are as mortified by this as anyone.
In his closing thoughts, Musk urged Americans to “vote like your life depends on it” because “it does.”
“I’ve never said that before about any election,” Musk added. “I’m saying it about this one because I’m sure it is true. So this is a fork in the road of destiny, and we need to take the right path.”
The bombshell of the night dropped when a caller named Donna nervously asked Musk if Trump could possibly fire Biden’s additional 87,000 IRS agents through the Inflation Reduction Act and replace them with ICE agents instead.
Musk gloriously answered YES!
He responded, “I think our priorities are clearly misplaced here, where hiring vast numbers of people to audit and chase African Americans for taxes while failing to hire critical personnel to secure our border makes no sense at all. It’s totally backwards. So I agree with you.”
In a remarkable moment, Musk unconfidently told a caller, “I’ll do my best,” before delivering one of the most brilliant answers about the broken education system that you'll ever hear.
1. “Educational scores have gone downhill dramatically since the creation of the Department of Education, which doesn't make any sense.”
2. “If you're going to create a department and spend a bunch of money, you should expect things to get better, not worse.”
3. “The Department of Education at the federal level has pushed all sorts of propaganda on kids that has nothing to do with useful skills.
4. “Schools should be focused on teaching kids about the world and teaching them useful skills so that, when they graduate, they can do something useful. That's the whole point.”
5. With respect to college, he said kids will often “spend four years in college, not learn anything useful, and be saddled with a ton of debt. And what's the point of that? It doesn't make any sense.”
Musk got the internet laughing when he called Trump a “tough son of a b*tch” after hilariously comparing him to Joe Biden.
“It’s like impossible for anyone to be scared of Biden. I mean, that’s just impossible. The guy can’t climb a flight of stairs.”
“On the other hand, President Trump got shot. And even after getting shot, even though there could have been other shooters, so it was dangerous, he stood up with blood streaming down his face, saying, ‘Fight, fight, fight!’
“It’s like, let me tell you, if you’re some evil dictator, you’re looking at that, you [think to yourself], ‘That is a tough son of a b*tch. I’m not going to mess with him,’” Musk said.
Musk suggested that his life could be at risk when he said that he needs to beef up his security.
This is because “people who are taking advantage of the government” are going to get “upset” when he and Trump start slashing costs.
“If I had full power to take action, I would balance the budget immediately,” Musk said, adding that the government urgently needs to stop spending more than it brings in.
“A lot of people who are taking advantage of the government are going to be upset about that, and I’d probably need a lot of security. But it’s got to be done. And if it’s not done, we’ll just go bankrupt.”
The world’s richest man just accomplished what Kamala Harris never could—receive unscripted questions from everyday Americans and answer them directly and clearly.
One of the standout moments of tonight's telephone town hall occurred when Elon Musk responded to claims that Trump resembles Hitler.
Musk brilliantly answered, “Trump was president for four years. I don’t recall any genocide. In fact, we didn’t even have any wars. He was good at avoiding war.”
He added that the Democrats know they are pushing clearly false claims, but they've decided to do it anyway.
In the final moments, Trump asked, “How long have we been talking?” Rogan’s producer, Jamie, revealed it had been a whopping three hours.
With a speech looming, Trump told Rogan, “It’s been an honor,” calling him a “fascinating guy” and promising, “We’ll do it again.”
“I’m going to make a great speech, and I’m going to say, if I’m a little off tonight, I’m going to blame you,” Trump quipped.
With a big smile, he said with astonishment, “I spoke to this guy for three hours.”
The conversation took an interesting turn when Rogan asked Trump if he believes aliens exist, to which Trump replied, “There's no reason not to.”
Trump told Rogan, “I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people... And they said, ‘We saw things that were very strange, like a round ball. But it wasn't a comet or a meteor. It was something. And it was going four times faster than an F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.”
Trump broadcasted a major move, announcing that the JFK files would be released “almost immediately” when he takes office.
Rogan probed Trump about why he never opened them up during his first term, and Trump responded that certain people “asked [him] not to do it.”
“I can't tell you whether or not they're going to find anything of interest... But I was asked not to do it, and I thought that was a reasonable ask. But now I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it very soon,” Trump said.
Democrats suffered a devastating blow when Rogan concluded that the “only thing that makes sense” for why Dem politicians would oppose voter ID is because “they want to cheat.”
A shocking new Gallup poll recently showed that 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote.
This includes 67% of Democrats who support the measure.
Meanwhile, Dem politicians strongly oppose voter IDs, which tells you that they care more about cheating than secure elections.
The most hilarious moment of the night dropped when Trump candidly asked Rogan, “Can you imagine Kamala doing this show?”
Rogan replied, "I could imagine her doing this show," but Trump pushed back, insisting that if Kamala dared to engage in an unscripted three-hour conversation, she'd be lying on the floor unconscious, needing a medic.
Some viewers were left stunned as Rogan agreed with Trump that there were at least two undeniable instances of election interference in 2020.
The first one was the Russia collusion hoax, where it was purported that Trump was a “Russian asset.”
The major instance of election interference was the Hunter Biden laptop story. Twitter 1.0 removed links to the story, while 51 former intelligence agents dismissed it as “Russian disinformation.”
“And the only reason why they got away with this lie was because they continually labeled you as this horrible threat to democracy and Hitler,” Rogan said.
“They kept saying you were going to be a dictator, ignoring the fact that you weren't a dictator for the four years when you were actually the president.”
Going further, Trump outed Big Pharma and revealed that they were “not thrilled” when they heard RFK Jr. would be joining the Trump administration.
This moment came when Rogan asked Trump, “Do you have anyone that is pressuring you to not work with him?”—to which Trump replied with a clear “Yes.”
“That [life expectancy] chart is a terrible chart. It's such a bad chart when you look at where we are compared to other countries that don't spend 10 cents [per dollar we do] ... But yeah. I've had some people that aren't exactly thrilled,” Trump said.
Trump didn’t hesitate to announce that he is “completely committed” to having Robert Kennedy Jr. in his administration.
He even came prepared with a chart that shows America's life expectancy is DROPPING while other countries don't have the same problem.
Trump revealed that his only concern about Kennedy is his environmental views.
“The only thing I want to be a little careful about with him is the environmental [stuff] because he doesn’t like oil. I love oil and gas,” Trump said with a smile.
“Just keep him out of that!” Rogan replied. “There’s plenty of good work that could be done if you focus on health.”
