But no, I think there's definitely anxiety among a lot of Republicans on the national security front, but a total unwillingness to do anything about it.
And then threatening that he might. Then he might turn it off.
Yes, deeply.
Ridiculous, stupid, terrible, awful. I was pleasantly surprised to hear this interest in cutting the government, streamlining the government, making it leaner and smarter, because this is the rare conservative thing that this administration seems to have been interested in. And it's a bedrock of small government, limited government conservatism. So I thought this is good.
I did not like the idea of putting an unelected man-child in charge of it, but that wasn't my choice. Yeah. But, no, I was very open-minded to this, but I cannot believe how clumsily and dumbly they've gone about this. I mean, no expert in anything would say that this is the way to fix any problem. Right. What a waste.
What a wasted opportunity because there is bipartisan support among the electorate for cutting fraud and waste and making the government smaller. That's such an easy win. It's low-hanging fruit. You could easily win at this if you just did it in like a normal way.
But Elon is, like I said, he's such a man child who I feel like is running around the country playing at politics, like with toys, like the economy is a toy. All these agencies are little chess pieces on his like big game board. It's ridiculous. And I don't know when or if Trump will ever get tired of Of him embarrassing us on a world stage. Will that ever get tiring for Trump? I don't know.
But what does he like about it? Tell me.
He does not land rockets.
Let me just tell you.
But he more often does not land rockets.
Yeah, I've heard that. How long he wants that kind of heat shield, I don't know. But I don't know. I wouldn't want to be embarrassed this way, especially if I had as thin a skin as Donald Trump. This is just, it's laughable. It's humiliating. We are a laughingstock because Elon tweets at foreign leaders like they're just trolls, like they're Twitter trolls he's swatting away. It's crazy.
I think that's right. I think that is true. But then again... What does Elon have over Trump that Trump can't say, hey, let's cool it with this. Let's rein this in or let's do it this way. Let's get a little more responsible, a little less reckless. Like, why can't he rein him in? He doesn't want to. That's the part I don't. I guess I just don't get.
Psychologizing Trump has never been my strong suit.
Yeah, it's this sing for your supper. Yes. And it's a theme, right? Why didn't he thank us? Why isn't he more thankful? This theme of... You have to earn. You have to earn your democracy. You have to earn your government. You have to earn services you've already paid for. You have to re-earn our support, even though you've thanked us a thousand times.
It's so much about them as if – and I said this before, like, in that meeting with Zelensky – Trump and J.D. Vance looked like two losers on bar stools, trying to be like, we own this bar. Who are you coming in here? You don't own the bar. That's not your house. The White House isn't yours.
It's our house.
It's our house. You are public servants. There is no awareness of the public service aspect of this job. And the only people that could really get in their way are Republican lawmakers, and they're not doing that. So there's no stopping this.
I don't know. I know having covered Elon a bit before Doge, people are scared of him too inside his companies. He is vengeful inside his own companies. He fires people when they say things he doesn't like. So I don't know, there might be a culture, even among his shareholders, of a fear of retributions. I don't know. And Dave is right, and it's a great idea.
But I just wouldn't put a ton of hope in the idea that someone out there is going to hold him accountable.
