Broadcasting across the state of Wisconsin on the Civic Media Radio Network and around the world on the Civic Media app.
This is the Dom Salvia Show.
And now, here's your host, Dom Salvia.
And welcome to the Dom Salvia show happy Monday to us all you can be a big part by joining us on the phone line or the text line 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 got just PS working hard on the board on the sound on the lines for you think you just and just as hell later on in this fine program the 5 o'clock hour Matt Flynn former DPW chair and attorney and known
commie hater is going to join at five o'clock.
We're going to get caught up on all the goings on in the world.
Our buddy Matt Flynn coming at five o'clock.
Once again, eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two.
Man, lots, lots, lots to get to it.
You know, I'm coming off, coming off hot from the, the Maggie Dawn show,
We do, in case you missed it on Mondays, she joins me on Tuesdays for a little overtime with Maggie Dawn.
And, and we're going to get to what I wanted to get to, of course, eventually, but I'm kind of, I'm kind of spinning out here.
We talked about
the Nazi salute.
This, this, this continues to happen.
And I got to tell you, I'm just a little, I'm not quite ready to give up on that.
I'm like, conversation quite yet.
Let's keep at it.
Let's, let's do that.
Steve Bannon at CPAC
This guy, um, New York times, Bannon salute at far at right wing event sparks outcry.
even on French right, a gesture by Steve Bannon at CPAC outside Washington Echo to move by Elon Musk and prompt to the president of France's far right national rally to say it evoked Nazi ideology.
Well, yeah,
It's nothing, nothing to bring back Nazi ideology, like a Nazi salute.
I mean, it kind of, kind of goes to the whole thing.
And of course this is off, coming off of Elon Musk as mentioned,
How is this acceptable?
It's not how is how how is it that we do not hear Senator Ron Johnson from the state of Wisconsin?
Maybe maybe Scott Fitzgerald the congressman maybe Tom Tiffing in the congressman Maybe some of these folks should should stand up and push back.
This was at CPAC.
This is at the conservative Conference that that the Republicans
For the record.
Now, so why is it that this guy gets a pass, a Musk, and Steve Bannon doesn't?
Hmm.
Let me, oh, that's right.
Steve Bannon's the richest man in the world.
I'm sorry.
Musk is the richest man in the world.
Bannon.
I was just pardoned by Donald Trump.
Now, both of these cats are close Donald Trump advisors.
Indeed.
Both of these guys.
So when you have advisors to the president of the United States in the course of four weeks, each of them given a Nazi salute and you can try to
Justify it, you can say this or that, I'm not buying it.
I'm not buying it.
As Meggy Dawn liked to say, if you think this is nothing more than a heartfelt gesture of appreciation, why don't you, you know, give yourself a little social media video of doing that at
not like the Republicans when they are beside when they throw out and when Elon Musk did it never one freaked out as rightfully so the richest man in the world has given Nazi salutes I should be a little concerning You know and if your grandparents are still alive anyone from the World War two generation show them that Ask them what they think that means right?
as, as Maggie says, go, go, go to go out to the, the, uh, the synagogues and do that outside.
See, you know, I'll just give a heartfelt gesture to your Jewish neighbors.
See how they react to that.
It's bunk.
So I'm not buying it.
Anyone's shoveling that is part of it.
You know, if you got, you got five Nazis sitting at a table and three other people, you got eight Nazis.
You
nazi light you're still nazi there is what tell me what what what is the peaceful discourse with a nazi and fascism tell me how that happens hey i believe in in the freedom of life liberty and pursuit of happiness
But now she's like, hey, I want to subjugate you to make you do whatever I want.
And if I don't like it, I'll kill you.
Tell me how those things go together.
I'd like to know.
I'd like to hear my Republican politician stand up, defend Elon Musk, defend Steve Bannon, or, or maybe just go around and start doing that yourself.
Is that what we're getting to?
Because if there's no consequence to it,
Steve Bannon, hell, he's still accepted in all your little right wing circles.
You, the Nazis, man, they, the, the, the neo-Nazis in this country are ecstatic.
Hell, the German elections are like going, whoa, you know,
Well, they're not as, as they're not, they're not the Trump right ringers, right?
Those, those cast didn't win, but you know, still conservative.
They're like, oh hell no, but this, this, this French, uh, uh, right wing leader.
backed out of CPAC after they saw Bannon do that.
Well, at least that's a reaction, at least it's an acknowledgement of what's going on.
When someone gives you a sign that they're a Nazi, why won't you just believe it?
and it's all fun and games until they actually start what shooting people in the streets I mean, what are you?
What are you hoping for?
What are you?
What are you thinking that that just toying with the idea of fascism and Nazism is just gonna, you know roll and troll the libs Well, congratulations helped me fire it up, but I don't think this is kind of a self-owned Megas if you think being a Nazis cool I got some news for you that didn't work out too well the last time around
So what do you think is going to be different this time?
Because I'm not having it.
I'm not buying it.
And any of you people that stand with Elon Musk in this regard, or certainly in Steve Bannon, give me a break.
You're part of the problem.
So if you think this is just a troll, you're wrong.
You're part of an ideology that has been the damnation of this world.
in the last hundred years, and you think this is funny, you think this is good, you think acting this way and performing these gestures is just gonna, what, help your cause?
Get the left all riled up?
Yeah, riled up?
How about the left?
You think your grandparents are gonna like that?
You think the World War II, the greatest generation, are they riled up?
You think they wanna see that?
Think Steve Bannon's parents wanna see that?
It's disgraceful, every single one of them.
And you sit there, if you're in a room,
and people start throwing the seagal, and you don't leave?
Congratulations!
You've now been indoctrinated into the Nazi ideology.
Well done, everyone.
Well done.
And don't be bringing that stuff out our street, man.
Nazis, not welcome here.
855-752-4842-855-757.
Thank you for that.
I felt good.
So the, the very efficient Nazis, uh, like Elon Musk, well, they got a plan.
And they're part of Doge, and they got all sorts of things.
And if you don't respond by email, well, they're going to be very mad at you.
And they're finding hundreds of billions of billions of billions of billions of dollars of fraud.
Of course, no fraud has been prosecuted yet.
There's been no grand juries that I'm aware of.
No one's been arrested for this quote unquote fraud.
But as it would have it, Elon Musk is getting into Wisconsin, into our Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
post-photo of wrong Susan Crawford in digital ads.
How efficient of them.
You know, middle-aged white women look the same, I guess.
And one of the first attack ads launched by Elon Musk's back group in the hotly contested Supreme Court race is landed with a resounding thud.
That's because the ad that building America's future is currently running on social media doesn't feature
Susan M. Crawford, the liberal Dane County judge running for the high court against conservative Brad Schimmel, rather the digital ad has a large photo of Susan P. Crawford, a law school professor at Harvard University.
It appears building America's future lifted her picture from her Wikipedia profile.
I mean, it's nothing like efficiency when you, you know, don't do any due diligence.
Of course you can save time.
Susan Crawford's wrong for Wisconsin, the ad says, but Daniel Bice questions, okay, but which Crawford, perhaps more accurately it should read, wrong Susan Crawford for Wisconsin.
You know, Bicey, sometimes you're all right, man.
The two women look alike to some degree.
They're both middle-aged women with brown hair.
One was born in 1963 and the other two years later.
But that's no excuse for this rookie mistake by the out of state political non-profit, which is currently spending more than $1.5 million in TV ads in Wisconsin.
Funded by a dozen individuals and corporate backers, the group has spent more than a hundred million on races around the country over the last four years.
The wrong Susan Crawford.
Not Susan M. Crawford.
This is Susan P. Crawford.
And of course the first leg knight came to my mind.
You folks remember that the governor Scott Walker used to be here in the state of Wisconsin?
I do.
Well, there was reporting out that, that he had a love baby, had
Anyway, he, he, I believe that he addressed it at some point.
He was like, Oh no, no, no.
Hey, look, I'm Scott K Walker.
That was Scott P Walker.
You can't, you can't make this stuff up.
So the Susan P Crawford, that's, that's the one from Harvard, not the Susan M Crawford.
So Elon Musk.
and his organization spending all this money.
And you wonder why I give these people no credit and think they're a bunch of hacks because they can't even get this right.
If you can't even get the object of your political ire and your ad proper,
What makes you think I have any confidence in you that you're gonna find waste, fraud, and abuse in any department, in anything, anywhere?
Oh yeah, send out an email.
Hey, tell me what you did last week, and if you don't buy it today, you're gonna get fired?
Well, that was rescinded today.
Come back with us.
855-752-4842.
Happy Monday to us all.
Another big week coming up.
We appreciate you tuning in.
You could be a part 855.
752-484-2855.
75 Civic.
I see you folks lining up.
Be patient.
I promise we'll get to you.
We need to kind of tie these things together.
You know, we started with the Nazi salutes of Steve Bannon, the Elon Musk.
Of course, Elon Musk is rich, so he knows everything.
So he's got a crew putting a bunch of money and 100 million over the last four years, million and a half in ads, plus another here in Wisconsin for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, uh, Supreme Court race, plus another million for the get out, the vote.
I'm hired to say that some of the smarmy folks were walking around here recently, according to our callers.
But little concern, perhaps.
As, again, the Milwaukee General reports, Milwaukee VA employees grapple with confusion over Elon Musk directive.
What, what?
Natalie, Albert, Mary, Spacuzzi, Lawrence, Andrea reporting at the Milwaukee Journal sent an employees at the Zablaki VA medical center in Milwaukee have been told to comply with Elon Musk demand to explain what they did last week or risk losing their jobs.
What, what did you do last week?
Yes.
You know, I swear to God, if it worked for a fact that this thing's recorded and put out there, cause I have a terrible memory.
Do you?
It's all the resin, you know?
I mean, I know I worked, you know, I got paid, I mean, I got stuff done, I gotta go back and like list it for you now?
I mean, talk, how about just looking at the work that was done?
And, you know, I mean, look
at that, look at that part, instead of make me what, articulate, and what, so millions of people are gonna email Elon Musk back and he's gonna read it?
You know what I mean?
No, it's 19 year olds are gonna read it.
I mean, come on, man.
You ever see like teachers grading?
You know, in the end of the semester, as I remember, taking their tests home and grading.
Come on.
I've done that.
I've done that one.
You know what I'm saying?
Gentle Sentinel, reporting continues.
The email from the US Office of Personal Management asks, what did you do last week in the subject line?
I mean, that's creepy.
I know what you did last summer.
What did you do last week?
It instructed employees to include five key accomplishments from the last week, not to include classified information, links or attachment, and copy their supervisor on the reply email.
I mean, wow, that seems really efficient.
Not only are you getting millions of people, this asinine request from someone who wasn't elected and doesn't have authority over them to respond, not only back to them, but also tie your boss in.
Namasku oversees the doge.
You know, there is efficiency in that name.
I don't think they know what that means.
Posted shortly after on X, that failure to respond to the email would be interpreted as a resignation.
The deadline to respond was Monday at nine, uh, 10, 59 PM central.
So what midnight?
Uh, so the initial email from the U S office of personal mail, the OPM, and then must follow set up with a, if you don't respond, you're going to get fired tweet.
Is that official?
I mean, does that, does that count?
I mean, I, I don't know.
I don't even know, man.
I don't even know who's my boss.
Who do I report to this place?
Did you get the memo?
You know, the, the TPS report.
By the time the employees got to their computers Monday morning, another handful of emails were waiting for them, attempting to clarify the ominous message from the OPM.
Oh, really?
Lori Vale, acting director of the VA Milwaukee healthcare attempted to assure employees not to worry, saying quote, we do amazing work each and every day.
So please take this opportunity to share how you personally support Zablaki's mission in providing exceptional care for our veterans.
By Monday morning, she clarified her initial email.
While all employees are encouraged to respond, you are not required to.
While there are media reports that failure to respond to the email will have consequences, we've received no such guidance or indication of any consequences or adverse action from the VA or VHA or through any official correspondence for those who do not respond to the email.
Wow.
So Vale, she had to write a couple of emails.
It looks like she spent most of her morning trying to clean up Elon Musk, the unelected billionaire bureaucrat.
a DEI hire.
I'm not sure what we would say that, um, to clean this up for here locally at the VA.
My goodness.
That's efficient.
I mean, like she had nothing else to do
because they're
There's no problems whatsoever.
So now they're going to respond to the guy who did a Nazi salute last month because he wants to know what she did last week.
Yes.
She clarified her initial email.
So finally, yes, at the Washington post.
Trump administration tells agencies they can ignore Musk order on email reply.
The OPM told HR officials that employees wouldn't be let go for not replying to an email what they did last week.
I mean, you got to be freaking kidding me.
You bounce them from one foot to the other.
You got absolutely nothing done.
Nothing done.
How many hours of millions of people they spent
I don't know an hour to then they talk back and forth and people talk about it the water cool.
I heard people talk about it work today It sucks up time sucks up energy sucks up and no one's getting anything done If you do reporting on what you did last week to someone who doesn't have the authority to even ask Millions and millions and millions of hours wasted wasted Come on people you kidding me.

Uh, what are the textures?
And normally our callers get, get priority because that's how we do it here.
But I want to acknowledge, uh, Kimber here from Muscaday.

Thank you, Kimber.
You're welcome.
Thank you for being a part.
Thank you for contributing and letting us know where you're at today.
Yeah, interesting days for sure.
But you know what?
We're going to get through it together.
855-752-4842.
Let's get back to the actual phone lines.
Whiscal Paul, you are up.
Happy Monday, Paulie.
Hey man, tough Wisconsin game this weekend.
How you doing?
Where's whisko?
We got whisko.
Hello, Paulie.
I mean, I think I hear him, but all right.
Sit tight.
We'll confirm you.
Jack from the Mac.
You will be next.
Welcome, sir.
What do you
got?
Two things.
First of all, the, the whole purpose of this thing is chaos and it's
to try and distract everybody from little things that the Republicans are doing like giving away another few trillion dollars to billionaires.
And, you know, that's really what this kind of thing where Musk is, you know, is threatening to fire people.
I don't think he's got any kind of legal rights to do that.
But the second thing I wanted to say is this, and this is something that not everybody apparently realizes, Musk is not
just an American citizen.
He's a citizen of Canada.
And he's a citizen of South Africa as well.
And I'm sure that when he was in South Africa, he had to, you know, at some point in his life, made a pledge of allegiance to that
And I'm sure in order in order to become a Canadian citizen, he made a pledge of allegiance to that country.
And of course, in order to become an American citizen, you pretty much have to do that.
Yes.
a half a dozen hackers and these are kids and you know what hackers really have a lot of fun doing?
They have fun going into various very important websites, like perhaps the IRS or the Social Security and creating chaos.
Why would you want?
How can anybody think this is okay?
preacher to the choir here, man, mega.
What are you doing?
What do you think about that?
Jack, you make a great point.
Listen, I, I, a buddy of mine, Canadian Rob, he got his citizenship, became American Bob, a kind of golfer.
I still, Rob, but I went to his, the ceremony, this, uh, you know, puts his hand up, swears allegiance to this country.
Yeah, you got to do it.
I mean, where, where does Elon Musk, where does his allegiance lie?
Well, in the pocket book, baby.
We know that.
Now the other question, where does Donald Trump's allegiance lie?
That's a harder question.
Certainly Trump wants to get paid, but the way he's governing, the way he is appending the world order that's existed since World War II, one could question what his allegiance may be.
Jack, thank you for that, 855-752-4842-855-75CIVIC.
Tom says, Republicans house and Senate, get your asses and gear and stand up or resist the orange menace.
Yeah, man, resist the orange bus.
And to what end?
I mean, if chaos, chaos is, is the deal.
That's the product, right?
And they're, they're doing it.
I mean, congratulations.
You're wasting everyone's time.
You know, time is money, but
You know, you can go back and worry about your waste, fraud and abuse without any, uh, fraud because there's been no prosecutions.
There's been no indictments.
There are no grand juries.
There's nothing to suggest that there's actually that kind of fraud going on.
And you talk about the, the, the mispayments and payments outside of, um, uh, for social security, for example, you're talking maybe, maybe what $50 billion out of $1.5 trillion.
I mean, the, the, the rounding errors.
I know it's a lot of money.
But usually they're regarding what?
Miss statements and missing documentation Millions of dead people are not getting checks.
I mean so these things have been addressed now whether or not you want to believe them That's entirely up to you
You know, you can make your own judgments on that.
And then I'll judge you by how you make your judgments.
That's how we do it around here.
And if you're supporting the Nazi seagaling, lying POS, oh, $8 billion is really $8 million.
And oh, you know, Susan M Crawford, those are Susan P Crawford.
They don't even know who the hell they're running against in this state.
It is, it is, it is asinine.
It's Bush League.
It's amateur.
And if it is chaos, and that is the product, let's assume we have the cat to what end?
To what end?
I mean Republicans, what are you getting out of this?
Do you actually think that that Elon Musk and his you know Band of merry men 18 years old with weird names and maybe hacking into things 19 years old.
They're going to produce for you something That's going to what?
Help you get elected Serve the people we the people give a stimulus check back to the people of what what do you what is your end?
Goal here.
I mean, chaos is the product.
What are we doing with the crop product?
It's like step one, step two, step three, ever see the underwear gnomes from South Park?
So the gnomes in South Park, they go, they sneak into people's bedrooms and they steal the underwear.
And so the South Park game they find out and they start following the gnomes around
they wondered and they found them their little fort and they're all singing and dancing, collecting all the underwear.
And they're like, why are you doing this?
Well, they're like, Hey, we're doing this.
First we collect the underwear.
And then there's step two, and then step three is profit.
What's step two?
Hey, what's step two?
They don't know what step two is.
Step one is collect the underwear.
Step three is profit.
What's step two?
So step one is create chaos.
And step two, I don't know.
And step three is what?
A dividend for the American people, a lowering of our national debt or annual deficit.
A real lining of priorities.
Well, isn't that what the Congress is supposed to do?
Isn't that what you're going through right now?
Republicans and Senate passed out their little bitty bill instead of the one big, beautiful bill.
And then Republicans in the house are trying to get their ducks in order.
You know what we're not doing is talking about that.
I mean, we could, we could be facing a government shutdown here in a couple of weeks.
you know, in the meantime, we're jumping from one foot to the other going, what the hell is this going out?
What is happening?
Why is this?
And oh, yeah, by the way, then we got what?
Trump on the national stage, trying to strong arm and
Ukraine and tapping into their minerals.
Is that how we do it now?
We're just going to start, you know,
It'd be a shame if you lost it.
I mean, again, if you look at this administration and the mentality, of course it's gangster.
I mean, come on, man.
Cash Patel's name was like governing gangster or something like that.
I mean, he literally cash money Patel.
You know what I mean?
You put it in.
the book, man.
I mean, so if you look at what they are doing in, in, in the context of, okay, create chaos now to what end again, we can talk about that and we'll put that aside for now.
The, the, the, the grift, the cash money, eight, five, five, seven, five, two, four, eight, four, two.
I digress.
I do want to get to some of the local here because some folks are heading out to these town halls and the, the polling would suggest.
that Donald Trump has has what the worst polling of any modern presidency at this stage in the presidency.
I mean, going off the top of my head, thought I read something like that.
mean, most presidents have this period of a couple of weeks to a couple of months at the start of their administration, where they have the ceiling to their favorability ratings, where they get their
best out of the American people where the American people look at them and go, yeah, I'm still good with what they're
So.
Who knows where that ends up, but it is.
And we do have some, uh, some Pew research out there I want to get to today as well.
I just, I just pulled up real clear polling.com.
Uh, Rasmussen has Trump at 50 disapprove at 48.
So it's plus two.
Now it's Rasmussen.
That's generally a conservative Trump kind of leaning poll.
Um, uh, the Harvard Harris has.
Trump approving by 952 to 43 congressional job approval, wow, up to 36%.
I mean, it's really, it's really gone up there.
Again, and that, that will perhaps change.
So if, and I don't ask this like a rhetorically, I'm like, like seriously, what, what is the point here?
What is the point the chaos you're gonna you're gonna save some money, but the stuff they're putting out there isn't accurate isn't isn't trustworthy
You're gonna fire a bunch of folks.
Well, that's gonna, you know, increase obviously unemployment.
That's gonna, you know, have an impact on the economy.
And if you talk, look at like the farm bill and start cutting the egg and the farmers that use their, the government buys, you know, the farmers goods for the USA and no more USA.
Well, who's buying those goods?
Are these things gonna rot in the field?
What happens to the prices?
What happens, you know, to the farmers?
There's lots of concerns.
So yeah, there's no, there's no wonder why when, when Republican Glenn growth man in Oshkosh in Wisconsin goes to a town hall, he gets booed on the way in and literally standing Ramona.
And it's great to see that kind of engagement.
I mean, really, really that, that, that is, that is good.
Let's continue that.
Uh, you know, cause when we don't pay attention, when we let someone else decide and, and, you know, what half of us don't bother to vote, this is what we get.
And so it's up to us to change the direction to steer the ship as best we can, when we can, however we can.
And one of those ways is by never, ever, ever accepting a Nazi salute.
got, Kurt?
Well, good afternoon.
As I wait on bold listening to your show, I am a...
Slicing potatoes from scallop potatoes and ham with a very expensive extremely sharp Japanese knife And I came to a halt because I realized as I continue to listen The possibility of cutting my fingers
Holy cow.
Anyway, um, I get all my care through the VA.
I've had my health care covered privately and
via the VA.
And I recently had a medical procedure at the Milwaukee VA.
Let me tell you that the moment you walk through the door, you go into the hallway, you're met by someone, they ask you for your last letters, your name and your number.
Then you move in, you go to the elevator, you go to the department, they ask you a bunch of questions.
It's a machine.
It's moving very smoothly.
Everybody knows exactly what it's expected of them, what they need to do.
And the very last thing I need, the very last thing,
given and having surgery is have them wondering in the back of their head.
I wonder if I should list this on the top five things I did this week.
thought.
Can we get any more juvenile than this?
The
is yes.
I don't know.
Kurt and thank you for the call.
We're going to come to a heartbreak here.
It is juvenile.
It's hard.
It's hard.
It's hard to comprehend, you know, if you, you know, if you're in school and you have like a computer program, you got to, you know, create a widget and run a run a business, you know, or something.
Yeah, I don't know.
It just seems like these are just such amateur decision making and off the cuff from the hip and and with with no upside of gaining efficiency, rooting out fraud, waste or abuse, et cetera, et cetera, literally wasting people's time wasting our taxpayer dollars
By wasting people's time, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, two of those three have been videoed publicly giving the Nazi salute.
We haven't seen Trump do it yet, but Bannon and Musk are Trump's top advisors.

Um, this is from WPR Glenn growth man.
Faces hostile crowd at Oskar's town hall meeting.
They got a whole picture, man.
This place is pretty jammed up.
People booed and jeered at us rep Glenn growth man.
Don't call him growth man.
As he walked into the Algoma town hall, just outside of Oskar's Friday morning, Republican congressman from Glen Buila was there for a town hall meeting with around 100 constituents after the building hit full capacity.
Around 50 more stood outside.
All right.
He started by commenting on Trump's executive orders since taking office a month ago.
Quote, this is moving very quickly compared to other administrations.
And I think across the board, he's done some very good things.
Boo's and Shouse erupted around the room when Groltman praised orders ending birthright citizenship Unconstitutional and diversity equity and inclusion initiatives the crowd only got louder Groltman updated constituents on three of his goals in the current legislative session One he said was welfare reform.
Hmm.
There's a lot of problems with regard to welfare One of them of course is discourages people from working several people shouted no
Of course, that's a joke.
It's not true.
Well,
It is.
Yes.
Correct.
Thank you.
He's not saying it as a joke.
He believes that to be true.
But that's not the case.
In fact, many people who use the safety net system are in fact working.
What we have here is a problem, as we've talked about on this fine program in the past, is if you're working full time and you still need social safety net.
Maybe, maybe, we're not getting paid enough.
Yeah.
Sure.
That'll be wildly popular.
One woman asked a growth man, if he would oppose the house's upcoming government funding bill, if it includes cuts to social security and Medicaid, his answer, certainly if social security is cut and Medicaid will have to see.
So he would oppose it.
Again, this is
what he's saying today,
Another woman asks Kevin Grissman, growth man, how he feels about the power of Elon Musk, the billionaire heading down the Trump's cost cutting department of government efficiency.
And let's further, you know, reinforce this again.
There is no department.
It does not exist.
Correct.
There is not a department.
It is a thing made up in his mind.
And it's
Don't answer my emails at work.
Do it on your own time.
He does not have the ability to do any actions on his own, Grollton said.
We did not elect him.
A man shouted.
As the town hall research scheduled and more constituents shouted questions about Musk's access to taxpayer data and yell, don't lie to us at growth men.
Don't lie
to
The small town hall was at capacity for growth men's visit.
Several dozen people were turned away at the door.
All right.
Well, thank you folks for.
Getting out there and wanting to see your congressman.
I encourage you to continually do that.
And I'd love to know what Glenn thinks about the Nazi salute as well.
I mean, it's the total rage in mega these days.
Yeah, I see one of the sterling characters that Musk has got is his big balls boy.
It's actually, I guess at 19, he was working for some cyber firm.
as an intern, he was actually giving information to a rival firm.
So he got fired for that.
I mean, and so this is the guy you're going to trust with any data at all, period.

And of course, later, New York Times is reporting, folks, you can feel safe at home at night.
Right wing commentator named FBI Deputy Director, the choice of
Dan Bonjino.
