Well, they always ask. They don't say where it's come from. Why doesn't he say this? We need $40 billion of federal money. And the reason we need it is I was running a $75 billion deficit, even though I raised taxes to 13.3, the highest in the nation, because I was doing things like putting $50 million in a legal fund to sue you, Donald Trump. who I want to give us $40 billion.

Or I gave $500 million for illegal alien special health fund during COVID. Or I gave another $30 million for immigrant rights legal suits. So all of that stuff. And then he hates Trump. And then he's asking for $40 billion. I think Trump will just say, why don't you go sell off high-speed rail to somebody? And then he never says this. They just demonized Elon. Why wouldn't he just say this?

How much can you find me $40 billion in USAID? Can we go into the C.C. Abrams stash and give me $500 million? Can I go into the Pentagon? I hear you're getting rid of $68 billion in DEI.

Can I have $8 billion there? Why does he just talk like that? But instead, it's gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme. And I hate you. Gimme, I hate you. Gimme. It's like a petulant teenager, you know, to her parent or something.

It's two things drive California, you know, when you think about it. It's left wing, coastal, boutique politics. And by that is D.I. and radical environmentalism and then illegal immigration.
