16 Jan 2025

Transcription

What did Biden say in his farewell speech?

861.108 - 882.653 Ana Kasparian

And I think this past election really shows the kind of grift that exists within our election cycles, because that money gets spent with all these consultants and all these various PR groups and the amount of money they charge for their services, which have proven to be a failure in this past election cycle for the Democrats. is absolutely outrageous.

883.253 - 891.079 Ana Kasparian

And so I feel like our elections have become more about, you know, a business for various industries that surround.

891.159 - 912.954 Megyn Kelly

What do you think he's talking about there? Do you think he's talking about money in politics or do you think he's talking about Elon Musk? Like, I'm angry that Elon is the world's richest man and has joined BFF style with the sitting president and And and also Zuckerberg is Bethany and Bezos is Bethany. And therefore, I see this as an as an emerging oligarchy.

913.075 - 918.218 Megyn Kelly

Like I I feel like it was a complaint about Elon Musk and his outsized role in politics.

919.459 - 920.28 Kevin O'Leary

That's how I read it.

920.32 - 921.081 Megyn Kelly

Yeah. Yeah.

922.059 - 950.249 Kevin O'Leary

I was going to say, Anna, I read it as a sort of veiled criticism of the big three, so to speak. And the interesting thing on that, again, is the hypocrisy is so apparent just because all three, Matt Musk, Bezos, and – have a history of having supported Democrats and have a history of supporting left-leaning causes previously. And so it was fine then, but now... That's not an oligarchy.

951.13 - 962.26 Kevin O'Leary

Yeah, now it's not. Now it's a huge threat. And I think there is a very... To your point, there is a very... worthy, substantive debate that we can have about this in the country.

962.481 - 974.854 Kevin O'Leary

But if you're not going to be honest about it and why all of a sudden you believe it's a threat, then I think you actually broadly lose the American public's of the ability to persuade them and the ability to raise it as a priority for them.
