In Times Square, the most prominent statue is just literally a statue of a black woman. I don't know. I prefer the Statue of Liberty, not the Statue of... Yeah. So we're going to dive more into that later. And there it is. Yeah, there's the Statue of the Slob. I want to know, can you steel man the argument for me? What is the purpose of this? Why is that there?

I had to go by and see it, by the way. Interestingly, it was very easy to go up and take a picture. No one really wanted to go take a picture next to it. Either they'd be called racist, they felt intimidated, or they thought that she was going to start screaming at them. is literally right in the center of Times Square. What is their steel man argument for this?

Oh, to challenge cultural norms and spark conversation about previously marginalized, unappreciated groups. Is that what art is about? I could do a whole show about art and how we have lost the plot when it comes to art. Roger Scruton, may he rest in peace, had one of the best documentaries and books and analyses on how we in the West have decided to embrace the ugly.

They think art is to expose systemic injustice. We believe art is to uplift the divine, make human beings be better versions of themselves, to appreciate the beautiful and the good and the traditional, and to make society one that is worth defending, not one of deconstruction. I could do a whole speech on this, but...

Thought it was quite something that we go from the statue of David in Florence as a beautiful symbol of Western civilization to the statue of Cheniqua. Okay, so let's dive into the breaking news. So yesterday— Elon Musk, the world's richest man, someone who I have gotten to know and I still get along with, tweeted the tweet heard around the world.

Now, it was seen over 100 million times on X. Now, to be fair, we sent out a tweet the other day that was seen about 40 million times. So it's not bad, but we also don't own the platform. Our tweet was Islam is not compatible with Western civilization, but 45 million. I think that's going to be a topic that I'm going to have to defend for the next couple of years.

So Blake, get ready and you read the Hadith for me. All right. However, Elon Musk sends out this tweet and I want to analyze this and I want to make sure that we are understanding Elon's perspective correctly. The media is completely unhelpful here. And I think I can offer some unique insight.

Having being a proponent of the big, beautiful bill, having me someone who is friendly with Elon and thinks that Elon has really delivered a civilizational blessing to us by liberating X and helping President Trump get elected. I think I'm in a unique spot to actually explain this. Let me go through his tweet. Quote, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore.

Can we get the tape of Network, by the way? I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore. Do you guys know what clip I'm talking about where the guy goes out the window and just starts screaming from the movie Network? Anyway, that's Elon yesterday, if we get that tape. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it.

You know you did wrong. You know it. Okay. So I wouldn't use that language at all, but let me try to interpret what Elon is saying here in less provocative and hyperbolic language. Okay. I wouldn't use words like shame or outrageous or pork-filled. Because understand what this bill is, first and foremost. It is a reconciliation bill. It is not a budget bill.

It is a reconciliation bill, which means you have to reconcile two different budgetary years together, combine them, and you can add some spending and cut some spending, but it must pass what is called the Byrd Rule in the Senate, and it must be budgetary-related. Now, what is Elon getting at here is something that I think that is important, though.
