Get Off My Lawn! - The Mad Ramblings of a Gen X-er
Elon Musk Smarter Than the Average AOC! DOGE & USAID as the roaches runs from the light!
Is Elon Musk truly the genius behind SpaceX and Tesla, or is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez onto something with her critiques? We explore this fiery clash between two iconic figures, examining the intersection of political influence and technological innovation. Get ready for a humorous yet insightful journey through government spending, the intelligence debate, and the rise of young professionals in key positions. Sharp wit and critical viewpoints are the order of the day as we navigate the complex political landscape.
Our spotlight shines on Elon Musk's storied career, from PayPal beginnings to his polarizing Twitter acquisition. We question the financial growth of political figures and investigate the spending patterns of USAID, particularly on diversity and inclusion projects. This episode dissects the intricate web of taxpayer money usage and pushes the envelope on whether Musk's decisions are as intelligent as his inventions suggest. Expect a critical eye and a questioning stance as we unravel these stories.
And just when you think the political drama is over, we tackle the latest Super Bowl tariff controversy with a side of humor. Chuck Schumer's theatrical antics take center stage, but the real focus is on the economic implications for everyday Americans. With tariffs threatening your guacamole and beer, the episode concludes with a satirical look at political showmanship and the real cost of these policies. Join us for a compelling conversation full of intrigue, laughter, and a few surprises along the way.
What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it, is now dumber for having listened to it. You don't know what that ought is, mr Trash. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fucking blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a flamethrower to this place.
Speaker 2:Do you understand the words that are coming out of?
Speaker 1:my mouth. You want answers. I think I'm entitled. You want answers.
Speaker 3:I want the truth. You can't handle the truth. I don't know how many times we can say it in this world. The truth, shall I set you free. This is Tim. Let's get on my lawn. Oh, the light has been's. Get on my lawn.
Speaker 3:The bad realm is of a Gen Xer. Oh, the lights as we shine on USAID, alexandria, ocasio-cortez and the battle of wits with Elon Musk. And that's a short battle. That's like bringing a straw to a tank fight. Oh, the Dems are scrambling. They are literally in freak-out mode with everything going on with Doge, looking into all these wonderful things and all these wonderful spending programs and all this wonderful government waste. And the Democrats are like well, how are we supposed to have slush funds for money if we can't launder it somewhere the mob does not have? Sonny Corleone is rolling over in his grave because they never had an operation like this. But first we have to get to AOC. Oh, aoc, that bastion of soundbites. Oh, aoc, that bastion of soundbites calling Elon Musk unintelligent. Let's listen. We're going to try to listen to this minute five. I don't know if I'm going to be able to get through it, but we're going to have to try to listen to this.
Speaker 4:This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires.
Speaker 3:I have ever met or seen. Okay, this dude like okay, right now, when you're talking about intelligence and you start off the conversation with this dude like, oh my God, like most unintelligent billionaire like I ever met, okay, how many billionaires have you met AOC let's talk about? Let's give them something to talk about.
Speaker 4:Our witnessed, which you know. You can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV. Anyways, all of that is to say is that they don't do their homework, Clearly.
Speaker 3:The dude doesn't do his homework. He builds fucking rockets. He builds rockets, nasa is using his tech, is going to him for his technology because he builds a fucking rocket that could go up in the air and then land back on a platform the, the, the boost, a solid booster itself lands, lands, like lands like you know, like, like you've seen in a video game, and evidently Elon Musk is so involved in SpaceX that he can, like you could, hold up a part of the rocket and he'll say well, that's the, uh, that's the, the anti-flux capacitor, and tell you exactly what it does, because he knows every single nuance of his rockets and his Tesla automobiles. But they don't do. This is the woman saying they don't do their research. This is the woman that spouts off facts and shit and literally they're not based in any reality.
Speaker 4:And literally they're not based in any reality, like they're putting 19-year-olds in at the treasury. This dude is not smart.
Speaker 3:They're putting 19-year-olds in at the treasury. No, they're not putting them in at the treasury. They are looking into corruption. And what does age have to do with being able to go through every single line item and say, OK, why are we sending $50,000 to $50 million to Gaza for condoms?
Speaker 4:Because when Hamas rapes Israeli women, I don't think they wear condoms and and the danger in not in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has. I mean, this guy is one of the most morally vacant.
Speaker 3:Wait a minute, wait a minute. The danger of this guy not being. He only made himself. He's from South Africa. He only made himself into one of the richest men in the world. What are you? You know, and the brilliance of AOC. Her claim to fame, of course, when she was a bartender. But she also developed and had a publishing companies for children's books which failed, never got off the ground and to this day she still owes tax money for that to the state of New York. So I'm still not sure how she's in public office.
Speaker 4:Also just least knowledgeable.
Speaker 3:And I love it because she pauses. She looks to the right because automatically, when you're looking to the right, you're searching for something and usually it's not the truth.
Speaker 4:He's the least knowledgeable about these systems that we really know of um.
Speaker 3:So tell us all about the systems of usaid. Come on, aoc, tell us about it we want to hear about it from you. We want to hear from the intelligence of you about all these systems but the point is is that oh wait, she has a point. I thought it was just the one on the top of her head. Hey, what that is that? Oh wait, she has a point, I thought it was just the one on top of her head.
Speaker 4:Hey-oh. What that means is that they're going to hit a button. Inevitably they are going to hit a button and things can go sideways.
Speaker 3:So she literally thinks Because you know, elon Musk is unintelligent she literally thinks there's a button somewhere in the treasury, somewhere in USAID that if you push it it's going to screw everything up. She really she thinks that there's all these buttons attached to the nuclear arsenal that's going to go off if they hit something. If they hit this button, something inevitably is going to go off. If they hit something, hit this button, something inevitably is going to go wrong. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Oh, this is just. This is just. I mean, it would be funny if these people weren't in a position of power. Forbes estimates Elon Musk to be at $426 billion worth $24 and $26 billion. Now people forget I think a lot of people forget Elon Musk's brief history. He basically formed PayPal. He became a U S citizen back in 2000, I think two uh. Then, of course, ebay acquired PayPal. Now use the money from that sale the sale from uh, from eBay, to pay a PayPal to eBay to basically found SpaceX, which was back in 2002.
Speaker 3:Now Elon's been going on for a while. Elon's only 53 years old. Then in 2004, of course, he forms Tesla. He helped create SolarCity, which I don't know if SolarCity is still around. I think they might be called something else now, but they were the company that they were acquired by Tesla in 16. And then they became. I think they became. What did they become? They became part of Tesla Energy, because I used to get the phone calls all the time.
Speaker 3:Then, in 2005, he co-founded OpenAI, which, at that point in time, he co-founded OpenAI, which, at that point in time, of course, people know was the non-profit artificial intelligence fucking Skynet. I'm still going to hold that against him, that he formed Skynet, but this is a guy that's done all this stuff. This is the guy that's done all this stuff by himself. You go back to, to, to 95, when he had zip 2, then he had xcom, which, of course, and paypal, then spacex, then starlink oh, we always forget about starlink, which he founded back in the. When the fuck did he found starlink 15? 2015? He launched his own prototype satellite for starlink in 2018 and, of course, we all forget because it was so wild a while ago and it was under the biden administration that when Russia invaded Ukraine, musk gave freestyling service to Ukraine at the cost of about $400 million.
Speaker 3:This guy is so fucking stupid. He's unintelligent, of course. He acquired Twitter and he's turning Twitter around and twitter is now becoming profitable. But this guy's a fucking moron, he's on it, he's unintelligent. I, I mean so, I mean literally. Sometimes, you, you think you're crazy, are you?
Speaker 5:crazy. Yeah, I'm crazy. What made you think I was?
Speaker 3:saying and that's literally. It was saying yeah, she's fucking nuts. This is the same woman that has been accused of being worth 29 million dollars since coming into office. When she came into office, she was next. She allegedly had negative eight thousand,460. But according to her disclosure, she had $40,000 in a 401k and I love that because she was a waitress making $20,000 a year for only like three years but somehow she had $40,000 in a 401k which was provided by it was the Hispanic something, something fund.
Speaker 3:Now she's definitely not worth the alleged $29 million, but there is rumors and speculations that she's worth $4.5 million Off $176,000 salary. Isn't that kind of strange? Isn't that kind of odd? I I mean, just think about that for a minute. I mean it doesn't make a lot of sense to me and I love it because I love Bernie Sanders. He goes. He tweeted yesterday Elon Musk spent $277 million to get President Donald Trump elected. Since the election day has become $154 billion richer Not a bad return on investment. My reply was unless you are Nancy Pelosi, then you basically took a bank cut. I mean, where do they get their data from? How do they know that Elon has made $100,000, he's only worth $148 billion, but somehow he's become $154 billion richer. Can someone explain that to me? Can someone explain that to me? I mean, I would just like some, I'd like some rationale behind that.
Speaker 3:So now, of course, doge has their target on the United States Agency for International Development, usaid. Now all these people are upset that Elon's going after this organization. How dare he go after a department, a group that that is doing so good, so much good in this world? How can they be going up against a government, going against a government agency whose job is basically to spread the American wealth and taxpayer money to the world around us in in reference to foreign aid? How did this happen? How could this happen?
Speaker 3:Now, the USAID of course people kind of forget and Democrats forget was basically established by executive order by President John F Kennedy, and he did it because he wanted to basically bring together all the foreign assistance organizations and programs basically under one agency. That that, that's that was kind of their thought process, and the purpose was for the. The initial purpose was for disaster relief, poverty relief, technical incorporation of global issues, including the environment. Now they added us bilateral interest and social economic development. Ooh, that sounds, that sounds like some wonderful things. Now, somehow, this agency, which was founded, like I said, back in November of 1961, has about 10,000 employees. That's a lot of government employees, and they have they. I mean, their budget is in the billions yes, not millions. They are looking in the billions and they're supposed to be helping the world one program at a time. It's very noble. It's very noble. It's a noble cause, until you start breaking into what some of these noble causes were. Well, let's see $1.5 million to advance diversity and equity and inclusion in Siberia's workplaces and business communities. Okay, and business communities? Okay.
Speaker 3:They helped spend. Excuse me, they sent $70,000 for a production of a DEI musical in Ireland. We spent $2.5 million for electric vehicles in Vietnam. We spent what did we spend? $5 billion for four charging stations under the Biden program. So I guess that is a deal.
Speaker 3:There was $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia. Another $32,000 went to a transgender comic book in Peru. Two millions for sex changes and LBG activism in Guatemala Guantanamela. Another $6 million went to fund tourism to Egypt. Why do we need to send money to Egypt for their tourism programs?
Speaker 3:They also found out that hundreds of thousands of dollars went to a non-profit who has links to terrorist organizations. Now the inspector general even launched an investigation into this, but the USAID thinks they're above it. There has been. We have been trying to have congressional oversight on this, on this organization, for years, but they just, they just decline. Congress Millions, of course, went to EcoHealth Alliance, which was involved in the research in the Wuhan lab. We needed that, because if we didn't have COVID, I don't know what we're going to have.
Speaker 3:I love it. They also were funding personalized contraceptive birth control devices in developing countries. Hundreds of millions were funded for irrigation canals, farming equipment and even fertilizer in Afghanistan, which then went to basically unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production. But I'm glad we're funding heroin, because if you can't fund heroin, what, what good? What good are you? I mean there, there, there, there's, there's just so much more corruption, and that's the thing.
Speaker 3:I lived in a, um, I lived in a I'm not going to say a bad place. I, I lived in a. I lived in a I'm not going to say a bad place. I lived in a less than wonderful place for years and basically, when you turn on the lights in my apartment, all the roaches scattered, because, of course, when the lights hit, the roaches scatter, and I think that's the problem right now with with the democrats, the light is being shined onto their corruption and what they are doing it now.
Speaker 3:I love it because spending under Joe Biden for USAID doubled. In 2017, spending was at $20.1 billion. In 2023, it went up to $42.4 billion. I mean, and I love it because, like I said, $50,000 went to fund condoms in Gaza. That's always my favorite.
Speaker 3:I love the $4 million funded for the Center of Climate Positivity Development. Okay, what the fuck is that? That sounds like somebody's laundering some money. Someone's washing their funds. I just watched Scarface the other day, and when Tony Montana goes to jail or is going to go to jail, what is he doing? He's laundering money. I love it.
Speaker 3:$6 million for non-emergency funding for redundant administrative support for the Center of Excellence. Does anyone remember George Costanza and the Human Fund? Does anyone remember George Costanza and the Human Fund? Another $600,000 to fund technology assistance for family planning in Latin America. $16 million for institutionalized contractors in gender development offices. $37 million went right to the World Health Organization.
Speaker 3:Who has no respect for us, or they didn't. They're going to find out quickly because I believe we withdrew from them. We can't keep writing these checks all over the world. I mean, and I love it because you had one group that says that basically said, the USAID sent $102 million to the International Medical Corps to provide Gaza with medical assistance. Now the International Medical Corps wrote in a press release they only got $68 million. Okay, so who pocketed the other 32 plus million? Who put that in their pocket? And I love it because the MIC was providing resources to operate two hospitals located in Gaza. Now we all know that hospitals in Gaza were used to hide terrorists and hostages.
Speaker 3:Now the people in Gaza love Israel still, so much that they did a survey and it turned out something like 70% of the population that they spoke to in Gaza still supports Hamas. Now, when Israel turned Hamas over a few years back, they had built all these greenhouses, all these power structures, all these, of course, all these temples. Well, as soon as Israel left, the people in Gaza destroyed all the. Now, the greenhouses were built to provide food, but they destroyed all the greenhouses. They destroyed all the hospitals. They destroyed all the temples, because that's just, you know, that's just the way they are, but that's okay, we don't need to talk. We don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 3:But, like I said, I mean it's like you can't make some of this shit up. $12 million in support to services for the Bureau of Resilience, environments and Food Security Ooh, that sounds like someone bought a Porsche off of that one. I mean, it's crazy. And, like I said, the liberals are literally fucking melting down. They are proclaiming war against this establishment. They are talking about going after Elon, going after all these people, like it's, you know, like I mean, with a vengeance. Here's one of the Democratic representatives from the great state of New Jersey Basically declaring insurrection. We will not take this. We will fight back, fight back, fight back.
Speaker 1:And as I close out, because I know we've been out here for a long time and God damn it.
Speaker 2:shut down the Senate. We are at war Anytime.
Speaker 3:Who are you at war with? We are at war. That sounds like an insurrection.
Speaker 5:Anytime a person can pay $250 million into a campaign and they be given access, full access, to the Department of Treasury of the United States of America.
Speaker 3:Actually, they weren't given full access to that. But you know again with Democrats why. Let your blind anger be clouded by facts. And can you stop with Chuck Schumer, though? Chuck Schumer is that guy at the party that no one really invited, but he just keeps fucking showing up.
Speaker 2:I'm going to stand with you in this fight and we will win, we will win, we will win, we will win, we will win, we will win, we will win, we will win, we won't rest.
Speaker 3:We won't rest, chuck. You look like you need a rest. You have people spending $1 million on napkins for the Israelis, or not the Israelis. I should rephrase that it's for napkins for the Palestinians, and that is a joke. But you are literally un-fucking-hinged. You are the roaches and the light is being shined upon you and you don't know what to do because all your scams, all your schemes, all your, all your, all your bullshit is finally being called out. And let's, we got to list the Chuck Schumer just a little bit more, cause you gotta, I got. I love Chuck, and we're going to get to the avocados and Corona in a minute, but we got to listen to, we got to listen to this Chuck Schirmer undouche. I still love it, though. Remember the USAID was created vis-a-vis executive order.
Speaker 2:Just remember that, and the American people mark my words. The American people will not stand for an unelected secret group to run rampant through the executive branch. Being innovative is good, but, mr Musk, this isn't a tech startup. These are public institutions that deal with things like social security and Medicare and national defense and provide for the well-being of the American people, and the American people have a right to be part of that debate, part of that debate.
Speaker 3:Isn't Elon Musk an American? Isn't he part of the American people?
Speaker 2:The elections occurred and once one viewpoint got a few more votes than the other, like seven million more.
Speaker 3:Not only did he win the pot, he learned when the electoral college, he won the popular vote and he won every swing state. They, they have not learned. This is gonna be great for the midterms, because they have literally have not fucking learned anything, but that doesn't mean, we throw out democracy. They throw out democracy all the time.
Speaker 2:The Democrats, I mean literally, that's their thing and I think they're upset because they think the Republicans are stealing their thing for centuries in this country should just go out the window and be substituted by a small group of people who think they know a lot more than the wisdom of the American people.
Speaker 3:The American people elected you. Less than half the country thinks that there's more than just a pee-pee in a vagina. Maybe we need someone to come in from the outside and look at this garbage that's been running rampant for years and find a way to stop the corruption. And that's literally what it is. It's corruption, and you are so involved in the corruption that you no longer have any that you no longer have any. You've been in office so long you no longer have an opinion, where you're basically there for the American people. I love it because Hakeem Jeffries talks about they're raiding the government. Basically, doge is trying to stop taxpayer money being stolen and wasted vis-a-vis fraud, but let's listen to Hakeem Jeffries because he's another nut.
Speaker 5:They've done nothing as it relates to lowering the high cost of living.
Speaker 3:They've been in office for two weeks and they've done nothing. Two whole weeks you had four years, but two weeks they've done fucking nothing. Eggs are still the same prices. Inflation went up in December. Of course Biden was still president, but don't worry, we saved money on avocados and corona. We're going to get to that in a second.
Speaker 5:At the same time, they are raiding the government, attempting to steal taxpayer money.
Speaker 3:No, they're not stealing taxpayer money and this is why, like I said, these guys are the roaches. Someone has flipped the light switch on and the roaches are scattered. They're not taking the money. They're putting the money back where it belongs, not being spent, and help lowering the deficit. We are on the precipice of a economic apocalypse if spending continues at this pace.
Speaker 5:That's what the situation at the Treasury Department is all about. Treasury Department is all about. We will introduce the Stop the Steal Act in short order. Good luck with that, hakeem. You don't have the House or the Senate To prevent unlawful access with respect to the Department of Treasury's payment system connected to people who are trying to steal personal, sensitive and confidential information. How are they stealing?
Speaker 3:it. Could you explain that to me? Or is your stupidity, or should we just talk about? We should just talk to AMC real quick because we know her intelligence is just oh so wonderful.
Speaker 3:You know what I love, though. They talk about the cost of living, they talk about bringing down the cost of living. To talk about this, to talk about that, they talk about how much they are in love with the american people, but all the, all their policies do is hurt the average american. So, of course, when, when the tariff threat was going on with me, chuck Schumer went up there with his Corona and his avocados, he said, look, this is going to cost more. First of all, he didn't even go up with a bottle of Corona. He went up with a can of Corona. And can't we just get avocados from California? Hey, talk about how your Super Bowl feast is going to go up so much more when these taxes, when these tariffs take effect and tariffs are not taxes we don't pay the tariffs.
Speaker 3:The company that imports the item pays the tariffs, but you know we're not. We're not going to get, we're not going to get into, like you know, anything such as that Cause, that was, that would just, that would just make sense. But you're going to have to pay more for all this, and I love it because of the fact that the Superbowl is this week. So I doubt prices on avocado and beer are going to go up in a week, because you know we do have an inventory and stock of these things. And first it's first of all, you should be more upset about what is a Modelo's that is. That is the largest brewery in Mexico, not Corona. But you know what? Chuck's got to have his props, and we give all the props to the stupidity of the Democrat Party. This is Dennis. Get off my lawn the Mad Ramblings of a Gen Xer and I'm out of here, thank you.
