We're an equal branch of government, and you start off with a blather, and yet we look at the empty seats here. Where's Elon Musk? I'm sure he's a genius and is a very credible person because of the wealth he's accumulated. But that does not put him above the law or the responsibility to come before this committee in this Congress. If he's so great, if these plans and all the fraud and abuse that he found are so eminent, why isn't he here explaining it? You know why. Because he's out to privatize Social Security. He's been on television the last couple of days talking exactly about Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and what he intends to do. Privatize it. The American people, some of them may have been born at night.
but not last night.
That's how you fight. Democratic Congress member John Larson saying, where the hell is Elon Musk? Oh, wait a minute. We know why he's not here submitting to oversight by Congress. We know why you MAGA Republicans are refusing to do your damn job. It's because Y'all want to get rid of Social Security. That's what Elon Musk has been talking about as he's talked about privatizing Social Security or saying that the whole thing is a Ponzi scheme. Let's highlight some Democrats fighting back like Democratic Congress member John Larson, shall we? Here's Bernie Sanders at a recent event that he held. And again, He's listening to the people. He's relating to what the people are saying and the suffering that they're experiencing now being caused by the Trump regime. Let's play it. Thank you.
Well, thank you all. Thank you. Thank you all. No, no, no, no, no. It is not Bernie. If there is ever a time in American history where it's not one person, but millions of people, this is that time.
Next clip I want to share with you is Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. Did a great job on this interview. I'm liking this Governor Walz. And I just think he either held himself back or he was held back during the campaign. This is the guy that made me really excited when I was when I found out that he would be picked to be the VP pick with Vice President Kamala Harris. Here's what he says. Let's play it.
I hope that you're I think your viewers know this is there's no plan behind this. Donald Trump doesn't know how anything works. Donald Trump is this caricature that had a reality TV show that pretended like he knew how to run businesses. The reality is he doesn't. As a governor, we have to make these things work. Local school districts have to understand what are the impacts going to be when you lay off 1300 experts who are there to make sure that every one of our children get an equitable education. It's chaos.
Now, take what I just showed you and contrast it to what MAGA Mike Johnson was saying yesterday. MAGA Mike Johnson was saying, look, Elon, he's so smart. He's got the biggest platform in the world. You know, sometimes he says things that are misunderstood and it causes big problems. I don't know, like when he got rid of people at the nuclear power plants or nuclear weapons or when he said that he fired the people who study Ebola or watch what MAGA Mike says.
I think of it metaphorically. I get up every morning and I have this giant sort of control panel. It's got 219 dials on it. And I got to make sure everybody's, you know, okay, this one's, you know, and then I got the President Trump dial. And now I have the Elon dial, okay? Because Elon has the largest platform in the world, literally, and if he goes on and says something that's misunderstood or misinterpreted about something we're doing, he can blow the whole thing up. So I spend a lot of time working with all these dials and all these folks, and I just run around all day and make sure everybody's happy.
So utterly pathetic. Let's go back to Governor Walz. Here's what he goes. He goes, look, Trump's the guy who's declared bankruptcy over and over again. Who declares bankruptcy more than Trump? This is a guy who doesn't pay his bills. Play this clip. Again, he negotiated the damn trade deal.
