  • if you were wondering whether Donald
  • Trump's big interview with Elon Musk was
  • actually worth it for him it looks like
  • we finally got our answer according to
  • the Trump campaign and I hope you're
  • ready for this over $1 million was
  • raised from the interview with Elon all
  • of a million and don't get me wrong it's
  • a million bucks but considering kamla
  • Harris raised $112 million from one San
  • Francisco fundraiser just this past
  • weekend alone I wouldn't exactly say
  • that the juice was worth a squeeze
  • especially considering the actual
  • interview itself did Trump zero favors I
  • know that Trump thinks the answer to
  • 0:33
  • every problem is just more Trump but in
  • 0:35
  • reality all Trump does by virtue of
  • 0:37
  • shoving himself in front of everybody's
  • 0:39
  • faces is remind us of the chaos and
  • 0:41
  • dysfunction that enveloped this country
  • 0:43
  • when he was in charge and so in his
  • 0:45
  • addled mind he decided that this was the
  • 0:48
  • message he wanted to send to the
  • 0:49
  • American people with only 3 months to go
  • 0:51
  • until the next election and what I'm
  • 0:53
  • going to do one of the first acts and
  • 0:54
  • this is where I I need an Elon Musk I
  • 0:57
  • need somebody that has a lot of strength
  • 0:59
  • and courage smarts I want to close up

  • 1:01
  • Department of Education move education
  • 1:03
  • back to the states where where where
  • 1:06
  • States like Iowa where States like Idaho
  • 1:10
  • you know not every state will do great
  • 1:13
  • because states that basically aren't
  • 1:14
  • doing good now you look at Gavin nusum
  • 1:17
  • the governor of California he uh he's
  • 1:20
  • terrible he's does a terrible job so
  • 1:22
  • he's not going to do great with
  • 1:23
  • education very quickly you're not going
  • 1:25
  • to have a country anymore and she'll go
  • 1:27
  • back to all of the things that she
  • 1:29
  • believes in she believes in defunding
  • 1:31
  • the police she believes in no fracking
  • 1:33
  • zero you no now all of a sudden she's
  • 1:36
  • saying no I I will I really want to see
  • 1:39
  • fracking we need a man or person who's
  • 1:43
  • unbelievably sharp in order to stop all
  • 1:46
  • the nuclear danger and all the dangers
  • 1:48
  • that I'm talking about and I got along
  • 1:50
  • with all the you know I got along with
  • 1:51
  • Kim Jong-un we had dinner we had
  • 1:54
  • everything and he he really liked me and
  • 1:57
  • I got along with him really well by the
  • 1:58
  • way he's he's absolute boss over there

  • 2:01
  • you know a lot of people said oh do you
  • 2:02
  • think you really let me tell you I saw
  • 2:05
  • things that you don't want to know about
  • 2:07
  • he is the boss but we had a good
  • 2:09
  • relationship and that wasn't even the
  • 2:10
  • weird stuff here's Donald Trump
  • 2:12
  • suggesting that kamla Harris looks like
  • 2:14
  • his wife Melania on the cover of Time
  • 2:16
  • Magazine she's terrible but she's
  • 2:19
  • getting a free ride I saw a picture of
  • 2:20
  • her on Time Magazine today she looks
  • 2:23
  • like the most beautiful actress ever to
  • 2:25
  • live I it was a drawing and uh actually
  • 2:29
  • she looked very much like our great
  • 2:31
  • first lady Melania she look she didn't
  • 2:35
  • look she didn't look like Camila that's
  • 2:37
  • right but of course she's a beautiful
  • 2:38
  • woman so we'll leave it at that right
  • 2:40
  • although there was one promise that I
  • 2:41
  • actually am rooting for Donald Trump to
  • 2:43
  • keep and again I told you their crime
  • 2:44
  • rates all over the world are going way
  • 2:46
  • down which makes sense in fact the next
  • 2:48
  • time what we'll do is if something
  • 2:50
  • happens with this election which would
  • 2:52
  • be a horror show we'll meet the next
  • 2:54
  • time in Venezuela cuz it'll be a far
  • 2:57
  • safer place to meet than our country
  • 2:58
  • okay so we'll go you and and I will go

  • 3:00
  • and we'll have a meeting and dinner in
  • 3:01
  • Venezuela because that's what's
  • 3:03
  • happening so you listen to that where
  • 3:05
  • Donald Trump promises to eliminate the
  • 3:07
  • Department of Education in agreement
  • 3:09
  • with project 2025 brags about codling
  • 3:11
  • dictators lies about KL Harris and even
  • 3:14
  • confuses his own wife with his political
  • 3:16
  • opponent and ask yourself did Trump do
  • 3:19
  • anything to bring any new voters into
  • 3:20
  • the fold did he expand his Coalition is
  • 3:23
  • that going to finally persuade those
  • 3:25
  • folks on the fence bring out young
  • 3:26
  • voters people of color Suburban women is
  • 3:29
  • the last these people were waiting for
  • 3:31
  • some unhinged insistence by Donald Trump
  • 3:33
  • that he loves Kim Jong-un I just cannot
  • 3:36
  • wrap my head around not only
  • 3:37
  • broadcasting this nonsense that does
  • 3:39
  • quite literally nothing to expand your
  • 3:41
  • tent but not even deriving some
  • 3:43
  • Financial benefit from it no matter how
  • 3:45
  • you cut it this is lose lose in fact I'd
  • 3:49
  • even suggest that it's lose lose lose
  • 3:51
  • because by virtue of doing this thing on
  • 3:53
  • Twitter he actually sent his own company
  • 3:55
  • stock price plummeting considering
  • 3:57
  • there's really no longer any rationale
  • 3:59
  • for a platform on which Donald Trump

  • 4:00
  • isn't exclusive to even exist in the
  • 4:03
  • last 2 days Trump media the parent
  • 4:05
  • company of Truth social plummeted more
  • 4:06
  • than 11% all to align himself with Elon
  • 4:10
  • Musk who's been busy posting all sorts
  • 4:12
  • of cooked numbers to promote the
  • 4:13
  • interview saying quote combined views of
  • 4:15
  • the conversation with Donald Trump and
  • 4:17
  • subsequent discussion by other accounts
  • 4:19
  • Now 1 billion and of course what he's
  • 4:21
  • doing is conflating views with
  • 4:22
  • Impressions he's pretending that every
  • 4:24
  • time the post merely appeared on the
  • 4:26
  • user's feed that it's a watch what about
  • 4:28
  • how many users tried 10 10 20 30 times
  • 4:31
  • each to refresh the interview when it
  • 4:32
  • was glitching initially all of those
  • 4:34
  • count as individual Impressions which
  • 4:36
  • Elon is counting as individual views
  • 4:38
  • which is not to say that Millions didn't
  • 4:40
  • watch it because I presume Millions did
  • 4:42
  • watch it but to claim billions watched
  • 4:44
  • it might as well just say trillions at
  • 4:46
  • this point since nothing actually means
  • 4:48
  • anything anymore and by the way it's not
  • 4:50
  • like coddling Elon Musk is going to
  • 4:51
  • confer some massive Advantage here for
  • 4:53
  • Trump the dude isn't exactly some
  • 4:55
  • political Juggernaut let's take a quick
  • 4:57
  • look back at Elon musk's endorsements
  • 4:59
  • over the last few months which are

  • 5:00
  • effectively the political Kiss of Death
  • 5:03
  • like when he tweeted I voted for Mayra
  • 5:04
  • Flores first time I ever voted
  • 5:06
  • Republican massive Red Wave in 2022
  • 5:09
  • there of course would be no massive Red
  • 5:11
  • Wave in 2022 when in fact Republicans
  • 5:13
  • didn't win the Senate and only won the
  • 5:15
  • house by a few seats or this one VI did
  • 5:18
  • more meetings with voters than all other
  • 5:19
  • candidates combined then I think he will
  • 5:21
  • do very well in the boat on Monday the
  • 5:23
  • power of an extreme work ethic is
  • 5:25
  • usually underestimated VI literally
  • 5:27
  • dropped out immediately after the vote
  • 5:29
  • that El was referring to and endorse
  • 5:31
  • Donald Trump or this one Los Angeles is
  • 5:33
  • fortunate to have someone like Rick
  • 5:34
  • carusa running for mayor he's awesome
  • 5:37
  • yeah Rick ruso went on to lose to Karen
  • 5:39
  • bass in Los Angeles and finally this one
  • 5:42
  • I supported Yang last time but the
  • 5:44
  • santis has a better chance of winning
  • 5:47
  • Des santis would go on to lose handily
  • 5:49
  • to Donald Trump in the GOP Primary but
  • 5:51
  • not after handing Elon the Reigns of
  • 5:53
  • this roll out and uh well that didn't
  • 5:55
  • exactly go well either do you remember
  • 5:57
  • that time that billionaire Elon Musk
  • 5:59
  • unveiled the new Tesla cyber truck and

  • 6:01
  • when he went to demonstrate the
  • 6:02
  • vehicle's supposedly bulletproof glass
  • 6:05
  • they smashed two of its Windows even
  • 6:07
  • though they weren't supposed to break
  • 6:08
  • today's Twitter roll out of the Ronda
  • 6:10
  • santis campaign went kind of like
  • 6:14
  • that now it's quiet we want to welcome
  • 6:17
  • you to this historic Twitter spaces
  • 6:19
  • event and more broadly a first in the
  • 6:21
  • history of social media uh tonight I'm
  • 6:23
  • pleased to introduce two individuals
  • 6:24
  • who've done more to loosen
  • 6:28
  • the sorry about that we we've got so
  • 6:31
  • many people here so let's
  • 6:33
  • see just keep crashing H well it's
  • 6:35
  • certainly an incredible honor to uh have
  • 6:38
  • Governor santis make this historic
  • 6:41
  • [Music]
  • 6:43
  • announcement and so clearly after
  • 6:46
  • watching Elon bungal desantis's roll out
  • 6:48
  • in a campaign that never managed to
  • 6:49
  • regain its footing from there Trump has
  • 6:51
  • decided that he too would entrust a
  • 6:53
  • flailing campaign to Elon Musk the guy
  • 6:56
  • who's literally never made a correct
  • 6:57
  • political prediction in his life and who
  • 6:59
  • seemed exclusively there to destroy

  • 7:01
  • campaigns great work Donald great work
  • 7:04
  • as for why Donald Trump decided to do
  • 7:06
  • this in the first place it's obvious the
  • 7:08
  • guy is panicking he sees his steady
  • 7:10
  • dissent in the polls and so he's
  • 7:12
  • frantically looking for any Avenue to
  • 7:13
  • regain the spotlight and so he figures
  • 7:15
  • that he'll glom on to Elon and his
  • 7:17
  • Twitter audience thinking wrongly that
  • 7:20
  • more Trump will somehow help him and
  • 7:22
  • that's his fatal flaw that is his hubris
  • 7:24
  • at play what Trump doesn't realize is
  • 7:26
  • that more Donald Trump does not help him
  • 7:28
  • more Donald Trump hurts him the more he
  • 7:30
  • reminds Americans of who he is and the
  • 7:33
  • chaos that surrounds him the worse off
  • 7:35
  • he is but because he's a malignant
  • 7:36
  • narcissist he'll never understand that
  • 7:39
  • and so what we're left with are moments
  • 7:40
  • like this one where Donald Trump demands
  • 7:42
  • attention and instead shoots himself in
  • 7:44
  • the foot the people of January 6th were
  • 7:46
  • treated very unfairly the biggest crowd
  • 7:49
  • I've ever spoken before was that day if
  • 7:51
  • you look at Martin Luther King when he
  • 7:54
  • uh did his speech his great speech and
  • 7:57
  • you look at ours same real estate same

  • 8:00
  • everything same number of people if not
  • 8:03
  • we had
  • 8:04
  • more and they said he had a million
  • 8:06
  • people but I had 25,000 people but when
  • 8:08
  • you look at the exact same picture and
  • 8:11
  • everything's the same because it was The
  • 8:12
  • Fountains the whole thing all the way
  • 8:14
  • back to uh from Lincoln to Washington
  • 8:18
  • and you look at it and you look at the
  • 8:20
  • picture of his crowd my crowd uh we
  • 8:22
  • actually had more people uh I've known
  • 8:25
  • her a long time indirectly not directly
  • 8:28
  • very much and
  • 8:30
  • she was always of Indian Heritage and
  • 8:32
  • she was only promoting Indian Heritage I
  • 8:35
  • didn't know she was black until a number
  • 8:37
  • of years ago when she happened to turn
  • 8:39
  • black and now she wants to be known as
  • 8:41
  • black so do you think that guy should be
  • 8:43
  • doing more press conferences or fewer
  • 8:45
  • press conferences because if you ask me
  • 8:47
  • it's probably the latter but apparently
  • 8:49
  • Trump knows best and so he decided to do
  • 8:51
  • this interview with Elon which not only
  • 8:53
  • made him look exactly as ridiculous and
  • 8:56
  • unhinged as we predicted and not only
  • 8:58
  • screwed over his own shareholders with

  • 9:00
  • Trump media but it also didn't even help
  • him financially when we call this
  • campaign a sinking ship that's because
  • those ships only go in One Direction
  • down I've got a really exciting
  • announcement I've written a book it's
  • called Shameless this book explores how
  • Republicans have exploited their
  • historical branding while attacking our
  • democracy how the media has proven
  • itself a willful participant and how
  • Democrats can learn from this to
  • rebalance the political scales and save
  • our democracy it has been a lifelong
  • dream of mine to write my own book and
  • so I'd like to ask you to pre-order it
  • by clicking the link right here on the
  • screen and if you buy within this
  • pre-order period your book is going to
  • come with a signed name plate as you
  • know I've never had a single sponsor on
  • my channel I don't ask for money or
  • anything like that but if you're looking
  • for a way to support me this is hands
  • down the best way to do it so again
  • follow the link right here on the screen
  • and thank you from the bottom of my
  • heart for pre-ordering Shameless and as
