RUSH TRANSCRIPT MELBER Yeah ░░░░░░░░ it speaks to the ░░░░░░░░ style where they don ░░░░░░░░ want to deal with ░░░░░░░░ even though they have ░░░░░░░░ bare majority there They ░░░░░░░░ t want to take ░░░░░░░░ time They don t ░░░░░░░░ to do the compromise ░░░░░░░░ forget okay it s ░░░░░░░░ party But even within ░░░░░░░░ there are different views ░░░░░░░░ how to do things ░░░░░░░░ are committee chairs There ░░░░░░░░ people who have their ░░░░░░░░ elected power and they ░░░░░░░░ not talked about the ░░░░░░░░ speech didn t have ░░░░░░░░ big congressional agenda Trump ░░░░░░░░ not doing much about ░░░░░░░░ except saying approve my ░░░░░░░░ And Musk reflects that ░░░░░░░░ again he had a ░░░░░░░░ dry run over the ░░░░░░░░ at the end of ░░░░░░░░ year and it didn ░░░░░░░░ go so well for ░░░░░░░░ And so what they ░░░░░░░░ trying to do is ░░░░░░░░ how much they can ░░░░░░░░ and break things and ░░░░░░░░ the pushback will be ░░░░░░░░ so they re on ░░░░░░░░ same page right now ░░░░░░░░ if that pushback fails ░░░░░░░░ me If that work ░░░░░░░░ and the pushback constrains ░░░░░░░░ ll give you one ░░░░░░░░ on the citizenship The ░░░░░░░░ of law is something ░░░░░░░░ sees as an impediment ░░░░░░░░ his goals something to ░░░░░░░░ around or simply ignore ░░░░░░░░ gain There s now ░░░░░░░░ national judicial order blocking ░░░░░░░░ effort Musk is doing ░░░░░░░░ that are getting trimmed ░░░░░░░░ the courts If this ░░░░░░░░ fails and Musk is ░░░░░░░░ too much attention then ░░░░░░░░ couple of weeks from ░░░░░░░░ you could see a ░░░░░░░░ away from this trial ░░░░░░░░ error strategy Johnson Well ░░░░░░░░ here s the thing ░░░░░░░░ is a business person ░░░░░░░░ He s been able ░░░░░░░░ sell us on anything ░░░░░░░░ can you know sell ░░░░░░░░ in the winter and ░░░░░░░░ in hell whatever it ░░░░░░░░ But he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ what he s doing ░░░░░░░░ never has He never ░░░░░░░░ He doesn t actually ░░░░░░░░ governing as you mentioned ░░░░░░░░ And so what you ░░░░░░░░ is someone who is ░░░░░░░░ breaking things because they ░░░░░░░░ that s cool And ░░░░░░░░ have several members of ░░░░░░░░ not just Republicans but ░░░░░░░░ Democrats who are finally ░░░░░░░░ out when you re ░░░░░░░░ with people who don ░░░░░░░░ want to govern they ░░░░░░░░ want to break you ░░░░░░░░ to find a way ░░░░░░░░ fight back To me ░░░░░░░░ we were to read ░░░░░░░░ headline tomorrow Ari that ░░░░░░░░ Cuban was running the ░░░░░░░░ office under Vladimir Putin ░░░░░░░░ would say it s ░░░░░░░░ That s basically the ░░░░░░░░ thing here Just having ░░░░░░░░ rich guy who s ░░░░░░░░ friend come in and ░░░░░░░░ the government is not ░░░░░░░░ way things work But ░░░░░░░░ concern is even if ░░░░░░░░ Trump were to say ░░░░░░░░ that s enough my ░░░░░░░░ has been bruised enough ░░░░░░░░ has put so many ░░░░░░░░ and firewalls in our ░░░░░░░░ security systems in our ░░░░░░░░ system and everything else ░░░░░░░░ that You might not ░░░░░░░░ able to remove him ░░░░░░░░ may be backlogs and ░░░░░░░░ sorts of technical things ░░░░░░░░ there that allow him ░░░░░░░░ in ways that we ░░░░░░░░ would have imagined And ░░░░░░░░ s the long term ░░░░░░░░ of either an ongoing ░░░░░░░░ or just massive mismanagement ░░░░░░░░ unfortunately, both.”
