Victor Davis Hanson

And so, yes, he has genuine admiration. That's why the hatred of Elon is so bizarre. Because... Everybody understands that without Tesla, you wouldn't have an EV industry. It's a viable, working, reliable car, and the big three can't even emulate it. And then without Elon, you wouldn't have a space program. NASA has gone off the rails. I don't know what happened to it.

Without Elon, we would still be censoring social media, and the FBI would be working with Twitter and Facebook to try to weaponize an election. So I don't know what the anger is about him. Without Elon, we wouldn't even be talking about cutting waste. All he's doing is basically Donald Trump said Joe Biden went crazy. I was crazy, but he went crazier with the debt. I had the excuse of COVID.

He didn't. And then he said, Elon, you took over Twitter and they said that you had all this feather bedding and didn't you get rid of 90 percent? And Elon said, I not only got rid of 80 or 90 percent, it works just as well. Well, could you come over here? Yes, I want to come over here and do the same thing for the U.S. government. That's where we are. So, yes, he has a great admiration.

And yes, he's 78 years old. Yeah. I can tell you I'm 71 and my level of energy from 71 to 60 or 68 is very different, but it makes him more reflective. So yes, it enhances his message. He still tweets with capital letters. He still calls people bird brain and idiots and despicable and crazy and stupid, but less so. And, um, And he looks tired because he is.

He probably gets four hours sleep, 78-year-old. And it makes him, oddly, it makes him more effective. And he's flooding the zone. That's what he's doing. He's saying, you know what? He got all that cabinet. You saw that picture the other day. And he's saying to Sean Duffy, I want you to go in there and save the FAA. Everybody says, we're having all these crashes.

We're not having any more per day than we did Under Joe Biden or Barack Obama or Trump's first term, but they're more publicized. But more importantly, he's only been in there five weeks. The FAA is Joe Biden's and it was DEI, just like United States.

pilot training was DI'd, meaning people were being hired on the basis of their superficial appearance and fired if you didn't fit the particular favored profile. So then he's saying to Pete Hexeth, And recruitment, we're down 50. They keep lying. Every time they're short 40 or 50, they just said, we didn't need that many. We do need that many.

And then all of a sudden, Pete Hegseth, 350 people a day, 10,000 a month. It's record he's been able to do. So everybody said he's crazy. He's tattooed. He's out there with the, he looks like a soldier. He's fought. And he's trying to radically change everything. We've talked about that. My gosh, I don't think I've heard one retired general. Have you?
