On my SiriusXM program, while discussing Elon Musk’s rummaging through confidential government systems, including the Treasury department—and how Musk sought to freeze foreign aid payments on his own—Carl from California called in to defend Musk.
He said that Musk wasn’t “taking” any money, but just making suggestions, even though we know Musk actually attempted to cut off foreign aid via emails obtained by the New York Times. But neither that nor his merely reviewing systems is lawful, as he and his underlings have not obtained security clearances nor were they confirmed by the Senate. And no one can stop payments and agencies ordered by Congress except Congress itself.
Trump himself can’t shut down federal disbursements, because Congress mandates them. And lawsuits are coming fast and furious.
But most outlandishly, Carl said Musk is “following the orders of the dictator, serving at his pleasure,” which either was a slip of the tongue, or an attempt at sarcasm.
I lit into him, wondering if he’d be okay with George Soros going through government systems under orders of Joe Biden, and if they’d not be screaming that Biden was lawless. Of course they would because they claimed that of Joe Biden for four years even though he did nothing illegal!
Yes, my blood was boiling—lots of F bombs!—as Carl claimed “elections have consequences”—which I guess means the president can become a “dictator,” but only if he’s a Republican.
Anyway, it’s a short, fun one. Ate him up and spit him. Listen in here and let me know your thoughts!
