YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Steve Bannon is absolutely losing his mind over Elon Musk, and he is now demanding that Donald Trump strip Musk of all of his government contracts. Those government contracts are what’s keeping Musk’s businesses running, and without them he’d have nothing. And even though Bannon’s motives are ridiculous, the points he makes are actually pretty solid. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

On Wednesday, Linda Ya carino, the, uh, uh, number two in charge of Twitter, CEO actually resigned and she resigned shortly after it was revealed that grok, the AI component that Elon Musk's team created for Twitter, uh, started calling itself Mecca Hitler. It went full Nazi and started calling itself Mecca Hitler. And after this, Linda y was like, you know what? I'm out. I, I just, I can't even do this anymore. And of course it's because Elon Musk, the biggest man child on the planet, has crapped all over Twitter. Like it's a crap show. I haven't been on there in months, by the way. And I love not being there. Go to Blue Sky folks. Uh, they're not paying me to endorse them, but I will wholeheartedly endorse them. Go to Blue Sky. Don't ever open your Twitter app again. Be done does drive me crazy that still a lot of progressives are hanging out over there.

Stop it. There is no value in it. You get nothing from it. Go to a place that's a lot better either way. As a result of Mecca Hitler and Linda Yao's resignation Trump ally Steve Bannon seized on this moment to beg Donald Trump, actually demand that Donald Trump immediately revoke all of Elon Musk's federal contracts. Here is what Bannon said on his program on Wednesday, the CEO of Twitter just resigned. Lindy Ya Carino, who was hired to add some adult supervision on something that's totally out of control. Not just that, the stuff he said about President Trump, the Trump movement, this new third party, all this crazy stuff he's talking about. He's a major defense contractor. Any board of directors of any defense contractors, number one, would've put Elmo on a leave on administrative or psychiatric leave. They would've demanded his security clearance be pulled. They would've done a complete review. Or your contracts are cut. SpaceX, starlink, all of it. Are you nuts? You are liable. You're all liable if you can't keep Elmo in his playin, right? If you can't, you are responsible and you shouldn't have uncontrollable people as defense contractors. Whew, that's a lot. Now here's the thing. Steve Bannon's motives are definitely horrible. He has hated Elon Musk since the beginning of this administration. Like long before even the weird salute, as they called it, Bannon hated Musk did not want him to be a part of this thought that he was man manipulating Donald Trump believed he was like some kind of liberal secret agent or double agent I should say. So he's hated him and he is had this feud with him all year. So his motives are not because

Of the things that have happened, it's because he is hated him since the beginning. He was hating him before it was cool, right? Here's the thing though, the points Bannon brings up, and I can't believe these words are coming outta my mouth are valid and correct. Yeah. I'll say it again. Just so you know, there wasn't some kind of glitch. Steve Bannon's points are valid and correct. I'll probably never have to say that again for the rest of my life. So I'm not too worried about it. But he's right. Any other company on the planet, a publicly traded company, you're gonna have a board of directors that looks at a guy doing a fraction of what Elon Musk has done in the last five months. And they're gonna say, they're gonna vote and say, pack your crap and get out of this company. You're gone. And yes, even though he's the founder of these companies, some of them, many of them he purchased from other smart people, um, even though he's the owner, you can still do that. Papa John ring a bell. The guy who founded Papa John's was kicked out of his own company for his racist comments.
