Hannity

AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON. HERE IS PART ONE OF MY INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND ELON MUSK. >> I HAVE TO START WITH THIS. HE’S WORKING FOR FREE WITH DOGE, HE’S PUT A LOT OF HIS LIFE ON HOLD. YOU SUED TWITTER A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, YOU MADE HIM PAY YOU $10 MILLION. >> THAT’S RIGHT. I SAID FROM LONG BEFORE HE HAD IT. THEY REALLY DID A NUMBER ON ME. I SUED AND THEY HAD TO PAY AND THEY PAID $10 MILLION SETTLEMENT. >> YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT?

>> I LIFTED UP TO THE LAWYERS AND THE TEAM RUNNING TWITTER SO I SAID YOU DO WHAT YOU THINK MAKES SENSE. >> I WAS LOOKING TO GET MUCH MORE MONEY THAN THAT. >> YOU GIVE HIM A DISCOUNT. >> HE GOT A BIG DISCOUNT. I DON’T THINK EVEN KNOWS ABOUT IT. >> HE’S BECOME ONE OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS. HE’S WORKING FOR FREE FOR YOU. [SIMULTANEOUS TALKING] >> I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A GOOD MAN. >> THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SO UNFAIRLY ATTACKED IN THE MEDIA.

IT’S REALLY OUTRAGEOUS. AT THIS POINT I’VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH THE PRESIDENT AND NOT ONCE HAVE I SEEN HIM DO SOMETHING THAT WAS MEAN OR CRUEL OR WRONG. NOT ONCE. >> I’VE KNOWN HIM FOR 30 YEARS. I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY TAKE AS MUCH AS HE’S TAKEN. WE’VE DISCUSSED THIS LIKE HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH IT. [SIMULTANEOUS TALKING] >> AND THEN CULMINATING INTO ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS WHICH RESULTED IN YOUR ENDORSEMENT. >> I WAS GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY.

>> THE DAY OF THE ASSASSINATION. >> I WAS GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY. >> WITH YOUR INDULGENCE, I’M CONVINCED THAT PEOPLE ONLY KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ELON. I DON’T THANK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM BECAUSE AS I STUDIED AND PREPARE FOR THIS INTERVIEW, I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT YOU THAT I DIDN’T KNOW.

PEOPLE WILL THINK ABOUT TESLA, DEMOCRATS DEMONIZING YOU AND TRYING TO MAKE THE COUNTRY HATE YOU, I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND YOU A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND THE PERSON THAT YOU’VE GOTTEN TO KNOW AND HAVE PUT A LOT OF TRUST IN. LET’S GO OVER A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR BIO STARTING WITH PAYPAL AND HOW YOU BECAME INVOLVED IN TESLA AND SPACEX AND NEURAL LINK >> I THINK I’M A TECHNOLOGIST AND I TRY TO MAKE TECHNOLOGIES THAT IMPROVE THE WORLD.

THAT’S WHY MY T-SHIRTS AS TECH-SUPPORT BECAUSE I’M HERE TO PROVIDE THE PRESIDENT WITH TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT. THAT MAY SEEM LIKE IS THAT A SILLY THING BUT ACTUALLY IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT THING BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WILL MAKE THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS WHICH ARE VERY SENSIBLE AND GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY BUT THAN THEY DON’T GET IMPLEMENTED.

IF YOU TAKE THE FUNDING FOR THE MIGRANT HOTELS, THE PRESIDENT ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT WE NEED TO STOP TAKING TAXPAYER MONEY AND PAYING FOR LUXURY HOTELS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. IT MAKES NO SENSE. PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THEIR TAX DOLLARS GOING TO FUND HIGH-END HOTELS FOR ILLEGALS. YET THEY ARE STILL DOING THAT EVEN AS LATE AS LAST WEEK. SO WE WENT IN THERE AND THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ORDER, A NEEDS TO STOP.

SO WHAT WE’RE DOING HERE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FUNCTIONS OF THE TEAM IS MAKING SURE THAT THE PRESIDENT EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE CARRIED OUT. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING. THE PRESIDENT IS THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE. REPRESENTING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND IF THE BUREAUCRACY IS FIGHTING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND PREVENTING THE PRESIDENT FROM IMPLEMENTING WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT THEN WHAT WE LIVE IN IS A BUREAUCRACY AND NOT DEMOCRACY.

>> Sean: YOU ARE BOTH AWARE, YOU HAVE TO BE KEENLY AWARE THAT THE MEDIA AND THE PUNDITRY CLASS , I THINK YOU’VE PROVEN THEY HAVE NO POWER ANYMORE. THEY THREW EVERYTHING THEY HAD AT YOU AND THEY DIDN’T WIN. AND THAT WAS "THE NEW YORK TIMES", "WASHINGTON POST", EVERY LATE-NIGHT COMITY SHOW, THEY JUST... NOW I SEE THEY WANT YOU -- THEY WANT A DIVORCE. THEY WANT YOU TO START HATING EACH OTHER. PRESIDENT ELON MUSK FOR EXAMPLE.

YOU DO KNOW THAT THEY ARE DOING THAT TO YOU? >> I SEE IT ALL THE TIME. THEY TRIED AND THAN THEY STOPPED. THEY HAVE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS OF HATRED. ELON SAID THEY ARE TRYING TO DRIVE US APART, I SAID ABSOLUTELY. THEY SAID WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS DONALD TRUMP HAS CEDED CONTROL OF THE PRESIDENCY TO ELON MUSK. PRESIDENT MUSK WILL BE ATTENDING A CABINET MEETING TONIGHT AT 8:00 AND I SAID IT IS SO OBVIOUS. THEY ARE SO BAD AT IT.

I USED TO THINK THEY WERE GOOD AT IT. IF THEY WERE GOOD AT IT I WOULD NEVER BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE I THINK NOBODY IN HISTORY HAS EVER GOTTEN MORE BAD PUBLICITY THAN ME. I GET 98% BAD PUBLICITY. OUTSIDE OF YOU AND A FEW OF YOUR FRIENDS, IT’S LIKE THE CRAZIEST THING. YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE LEARNED, THE PEOPLE ARE SMART. THEY GET IT. THEY REALLY SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING.

>> AT THE END OF THIS INTERVIEW WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP AND KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP MR. PRESIDENT? >> I RESPECT HIM. I’VE ALWAYS RESPECTED HIM. I NEVER KNEW THAT HE WAS RIGHT ON CERTAIN THINGS AND HEATED STAR LINK. HE DID THINGS THAT WERE SO ADVANCED THAT NOBODY KNEW WHAT THEY WEAR. I CAN TELL YOU IN NORTH CAROLINA THEY HAD NO COMMUNICATION.

THOSE PEOPLE HAD RIVERS IN BETWEEN -- LAND THAT NEVER SAW WATER ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A RIVER. PEOPLE WERE DYING OVER THERE, NO COMMUNICATION. THEY SAID YOU KNOW ELON MUSK AND THEY DIDN’T... THEY SAID COULD YOU GET STAR LINK, IF THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD OF IT. IT’S UNBELIEVABLE. HE SAID -- I SAID THEY REALLY NEED IT AND HE GOT THOUSANDS OF UNITS OF THIS COMMUNICATION AND IT SAVED A LOT OF LIVES. YOU HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME TO GET IT.

AND HE GOT IT TO THEM IMMEDIATELY AND I SAID THAT’S PRETTY AMAZING AND I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW HE HAD IT. WE WATCH THE ROCKET SHIP’S AND WE WATCHED TESLA. SOMETHING THAT HAD AN EFFECT WAS WHEN I SAW THE ROCKET SHIP COME BACK AND GET GRABBED LIKE YOU GRAB A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BABY. [SIMULTANEOUS TALKING] >> HE SAID YOU CAN’T REALLY HAVE A ROCKET PROGRAM IF YOU ARE GOING TO DUMP A BILLION DOLLARS INTO THE OCEAN EVERY TIME YOU FLY. YOU HAVE TO SAVE IT.

FIRST TIME I’VE EVER SEEN THAT DONE. NOBODY ELSE COULD DO IT. THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO DO IT FOR A LONG TIME. HE HAS THE TECHNOLOGY. YOU LEARN -- I WANTED SOMEBODY REALLY SMART TO WORK WITH ME IN TERMS OF THE COUNTRY. A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT. IS ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD BUSINESSMAN. WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS, THIS IS PROBABLY TRUE FOR ALL PRESIDENTS, YOU WRITE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ANY THINK IT’S DONE.

IT DOESN’T GET IMPLEMENTED, THEY DON’T IMPLEMENT IT. MAYBE FROM THE LAST ADMINISTRATION THEY ARE IN SOME CASES, YOU TRY TO GET THEM OUT AS FAST AS YOU CAN. AS SOON AS HE SAID THAT I SAID THAT’S INTERESTING. YOU WRITE A BEAUTIFUL... HE TAKES IT AND WITH HIS HUNDRED GENIUSES HE’S GOT SOME BRILLIANT YOUNG PEOPLE WORKING FOR HIM THAT DRESS MUCH WORSE THAN HIM. THEY DRESS IN T-SHIRTS. >> Sean: HE IS YOUR TECH-SUPPORT. >> HE GETS IT DONE.

YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF TECH PEOPLE. HE GETS IT DONE. I SAID IN REAL ESTATE YOU HAD GUYS THAT WOULD DRAW BEAUTIFUL RENDERINGS ON THE BUILDING AND THEY WOULD SAY WHEN YOU STARTING BUT THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO GET IT BUILDS. THEY COULDN’T GET THE FINANCING ... AND THEN YOU HAVE OTHER GUYS THAT ARE ABLE TO GET IT DONE. THAT WAS IN REAL ESTATE. SAME THING IN THIS.

SO WHEN HE SAID THAT, WHEN YOU SIGN A LOT OF THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS A LOT OF THEM DON’T GET DONE. HE WOULD TAKE THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT I HAD SIGNED AND HE WOULD HAVE THOSE PEOPLE GO TO WHATEVER AGENCY IT WAS, WHEN YOU DOING IT, GET IT DONE. SOME GUY THAT MAY BE DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT ALL OF A SUDDEN HE’S SIGNING. >> Sean: DO A LOT OF THOSE ORDERS HAVE TO BE CODIFIED INTO LAW? >> YES, AND THEY WILL BE. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE FOUR YEARS.

THAT’S WHY I LIKE DOING IT RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING. AND EXECUTIVE ORDER IS GREAT. THE... WHEN THEY DID ALL THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS, THEY WERE TERRIBLE. THEIR EXECUTIVE ORDERS WERE SO BAD, IF THEY EVER GOT THEM CODIFIED YOU NEVER BE ABLE TO BREAK THEM. SO THE DAMAGE THAT BIDEN HAS DONE TO THIS COUNTRY, AND IT’S NOT EVEN BIDEN, IT’S THE PEOPLE IN THE OVAL OFFICE. THE DAMAGE THEY DID TO THIS COUNTRY IN TERMS OF LET’S SAY OPEN BORDERS.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS. OPEN BORDERS WHERE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE PUT INTO OUR COUNTRY AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND MURDERERS. THEY ARE DRUG DEALERS, GANG MEMBERS, PEOPLE FROM PRISONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND WE HAVE A GREAT GUY TOM HOMAN AND HE’S DOING SO INCREDIBLY. 96%. HE’S A PHENOMENAL GUY. AND KRISTI NOEM IS DOING AN UNBELIEVABLE JOB. HE WANTED HER AND SAID SHE’S SO TOUGH.

I SAID I DON’T THINK OF HER AS THAT WAY. SHE’S VERY NICE. SHE’S RIDING THE HORSE, SHE’S GREAT. BUT THE TEAM WE HAVE IS REALLY ... THOSE EXECUTIVE ORDERS, I SIGNED THEN AND NOW THEY GET PASSED ONTO HIM AND HIS GROUP AND OTHER PEOPLE. AND THEY WERE ALL GETTING DONE. WE ARE GETTING THEM DONE. >> LIMIT GO BACK A LITTLE BIT TO YOUR BACKGROUND. IT’S BEYOND IMPRESSIVE. YOU WERE THE CHIEF ENGINEER, AN EARLY BELIEVER IN TESLA.

YOU BECAME THE CEO AND THEN THE CHIEF ENGINEER WHICH WAS PHENOMENAL. SPACEX SAME THING WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE. YOU ARE THE FIRST COMPANY, PRIVATE COMPANY TO SEND ASTRONAUTS SUCCESSFULLY INTO SPACE. FIRST PRIVATE COMPANY TO SEND ASTRONAUTS INTO ORBIT. >> HE’S GOING TO GO INTO ORBIT SOON. HE’S GOING TO GO TO MARS. >> THEY SAID DO YOU WANT TO DYE ON MARS I SAID YES, BUT NOT ON IMPACT. >> Sean: THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD.

I FEEL LIKE I’M INTERVIEWING TWO BROTHERS HERE. STAR SHIELD WHICH COULD BE USED FOR NATIONAL DEFENCE. >> IT’S ALREADY BEEN USED FOR NATIONAL DEFENCE. >> Sean: THAN YOU HAVE A PART OF TESLA, A ROBOTIC ARM. THAN YOU HAVE AN AI ARM AND THEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT REALLY FASCINATED ME. IT’S CALLED NEURAL LINK. DO YOU MIND TO HELP THE BLIND TO SEE... THEY CAN RECOVER WERE IN THE PAST -- HOW CLOSE IS THAT BECOMING TO SUCCESS?

>> WE’VE IMPLANTED NEURAL LINK IN THREE PATIENTS SO FAR WHO ARE QUADRIPLEGICS AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO DIRECTLY CONTROL THEIR PHONE OR COMPUTER JUST BY THINKING. IT’S LIKE TELEPATHY. YOU CONTROL YOUR COMPUTER JUST BY THINKING. IT’S POSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE COMPUTER FASTER THAN SOMEONE WHO HAS WORKING HANDS. THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO ADD A SECOND IMPLANT PAST THE POINT WHERE THESE -- THE NEURON IS DAMAGED SO SOMEONE CAN WALK AGAIN.

THEY CAN HAVE FULL BODY FUNCTIONALITY RESTORED. >> AND YOU LIKE BOBBY WRIGHT? >> I LIKE BOBBY. I SUPPORTED HIM. HE’S... BUT I THINK HE ISN’T. HE JUST WANTS TO QUESTION THE SCIENCE WHICH IS THE ESSENCE OF THE SCIENCE -- THE SCIENTIFIC MINTED -- METHOD IS ABOUT QUESTIONING. >> Sean: WE LEARNED A LOT... AND THAT RAISES A QUESTION, THE RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD, YOU MAY NOT LIKE THAT PART. BUT HE’S ON YOUR TEETH.

>> I WANTED TO FIND SOMEBODY SMARTER THAN HIM. I SEARCHED ALL OVER, I JUST COULDN’T DO IT. >> YOU REALLY TRIED. >> WE HAD HIM FOR THE COUNTRY. WE SETTLED ON THIS GUY. >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. [SIMULTANEOUS TALKING] >> Sean: I HATE TO DO THIS TO YOU BUT I’M GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY. YOU ARE DOING ALL OF THESE THINGS. NOBODY AT DOGE GETS PAID A PENNY. >> SOME PEOPLE ARE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES.

IT’S FAIR TO SAY THAT THE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS COULD BE EARNING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR INSTEAD OF EARNING A SMALL FRACTION OF THAT AS FEDERAL EMPLOYEES. >> AND THEY ARE VERY COMMITTED PEOPLE. >> Sean: YOU ARE COMMITTED TO HELPING THE BLIND SEE PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES RECOVER, YOU ARE COMMITTED TO GETTING TO MARS. YOU ARE COMMITTED TO -- YOU WILL HELP RESCUE NEXT MONTH TWO ASTRONAUTS THAT I THINK WERE ABANDONED.

THEY DISPUTE THAT IN AN INTERVIEW. >> WE ARE ACCELERATING THE RETURN OF THE ASTRONAUTS WHICH WAS POSTPONED... >> THEY GOT LEFT IN SPACE. >> THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE EIGHT DAYS THEY WERE LEFT UP THERE FOR 300. >> THEY WERE LEFT UP THERE FOR POLITICAL REASONS WHICH IS NOT GOOD. >> Sean: IF I HAD THE WEIGHT AND PRESSURE OF DOING THAT I THANK I WOULD BE -- WE SPOKE BEFORE WE DID THIS INTERVIEW, YOU WERE VERY CONFIDENT.

YOU THINK THIS WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL MISSION. >> WE DON’T WANT TO BE COMPLACENT BUT WE HAVE BROUGHT ASTRONAUTS BACK MANY TIMES BEFORE AND ALWAYS WITH SUCCESS. AS LONG AS WE ARE NOT COMPLACENT >> WHEN YOU GOING TO LAUNCH? >> IT’S ABOUT FOUR WEEKS. >> YOU NOW HAVE THE GO-AHEAD. THEY DIDN’T HAVE THE GO-AHEAD WITH BIDEN. HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE THEM IN SPACE. I THINK HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE THEM IN SPACE. HE DIDN’T WANT THE PUBLICITY. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

>> Sean: UNBELIEVABLE. I WANT TO ECHO SOMETHING THAT THE PRESIDENT SAID AND ASK AN OVERARCHING QUESTION. SO PEOPLE GOT HIT WITH HURRICANE HELENE, THEY HAVE NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD. YOU DONATED TO THE PEOPLE. >> HE SAVED A LOT OF LIVES IN NORTH CAROLINA. >> AND CALIFORNIA AFTER THE WILDFIRES. >> THEY WERE REALLY IN TROUBLE. THEY HAD NO COMMUNICATION. THEY WERE DYING OF STARVATION. HE SAVED A LOT OF LIVES IN NORTH CAROLINA.

>> NOW YOU ARE GOING TO RESCUE ASTRONAUTS. AND AGAIN YOU DO ALL OF THIS, I WOULD THINK LIBERALS WOULD LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE BIGGEST ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPANY IN THE WORLD. >> I USED TO BE ADORED BY THE LEFT. LESS SO THESE DAYS. IT’S THIS -- THEY CALL IT TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. YOU DON’T REALIZE HOW REAL THIS IS ON TILL -- YOU CAN’T REASON WITH PEOPLE.

I WAS AT A FRIEND’S BIRTHDAY PARTY AND IT WAS A NICE QUIET DINNER AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AND I HAVE TO MENTION THE PRESIDENT’S NAME. IT WAS LIKE THEY GOT SHOT WITH A START THAT CONTAINED METHAMPHETAMINE AND RABIES. LIKE GUYS YOU CAN’T HAVE A NORMAL CONVERSATION. IT’S LIKE THEY’VE BECOME COMPLETELY IRRATIONAL. >> Sean: IF YOU ARE FRIENDS WITH HIM YOU PAY A PRICE. WALK IN A RESTAURANT AND IT’S LIKE HALF THE ROOM GETS DAGGERS. >> IT’S INSANE.

I HAD SOME... A BIG EVENT BUT I RECEIVED THE INVITATION AT THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR AND I STILL ATTENDED EVEN AFTER I ENDORSED PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I DIDN’T REALIZE HOW PROFOUNDLY THAT WOULD AFFECT HOW I WAS RECEIVED. I WALK INTO THE ROOM AND I’M GETTING THE DIRTY LOOKS FROM EVERYONE. IF LOOKS COULD KILL I WOULD’VE BEEN DEAD SEVERAL TIMES OVER. [SIMULTANEOUS TALKING]
