Thanks for joining us. We begin tonight with Musk and Big Balls. Big Balls. Big Balls. Big Balls, who work for Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Doge. In the one case of the Big Balls kid, a literal teenager.
Big Balls online. Big Balls here that Katie's talking about. A 19-year-old that goes by the username Big Balls.
So that would be one way that we could refer to him. Young computer whizzers. Whizzes, the aforementioned Big Balls. Because who among us doesn't feel better about Big Balls? Big Balls. Big Balls. In charge of American air traffic control.
Right, there you go. That was Rachel Maddow at the end. Tomi Lahren, host of Outkicks.
Tomi Lahren is fearless. I don't know why I'm embarrassed but that is his nickname and he does work for Doge. And that's, you know, you would think they'd go out of their way to try to find his name but I guess he's comfortable with it. I guess, are you comfortable hearing it? I'm comfortable hearing it and I think that the folks on CNN and MSNBC like to say it.
I really do. They act like there's this outrage. And what I love is they're so angry that they've got young people working on the Doge team. You guys want to win back Gen Z? Well, maybe don't say that young geniuses shouldn't be working in any level of government or shouldn't, you know, be giving anything back to their country. That's a great way to win back Gen Z is just say that Gen Z is worthless. And again, I think there was probably a lot of Gen Zers within the Biden administration that were calling a lot of shots that maybe the president should have been calling millennials too. But this whole outrage over big balls and the young people are running it and Elon Musk and he's got contracts for Cybertrucks.
Yeah, those are useful. I'm not so sure a rap song in Gaza is useful to the American people or anyone for that matter. What about a musical in Ireland? It's about DEI.
I don't want to put you on the spot. I'm half Irish. $70,000 for musical in Ireland?
I heard that and I was curious. I don't know what a DEI musical is. I don't know why it costs $70,000, but I would be interested to see what that production looked like. I wish we could have some footage. Right.
Alice, would you be able to get some footage? If you just call it Ireland, just general, just pick, anyone will pick up. By the way, Ireland way to the left. I mean, they are pro, they're called what Israel's doing genocide. They have sympathy for the Palestinian people.
What happened? I don't, am I putting you on the spot? Because they're my people. You should be asking me. Well, I think it's just a complex.
When you're used to being beaten down, you stand up for those who you think are being beaten down. So I think that there's some internalization of something like that. So if they're so far left though, why do they need a DEI musical?
That's what I want to know. Yeah. And if something's going wrong, don't sing about it. Right. Yeah. I never felt, the only time I used to say I don't like musicals, I don't get it until Hamilton. I kind of liked Hamilton. Did you like Hamilton?
I like High School Musical. Did you really? Yeah. It's a Disney Channel thing. But like you'd have a play and then they just stop acting and they just sing.
Yeah. I don't, I'm not down for that. I don't enjoy that.
That's not my kind of entertainment. I did enjoy High School Musical because I'm a millennial of the Disney Channel era. Are you, who was your big one? Who was the big star when you were watching Disney? I mean, Zac Efron.
That's probably a big one. Hilary Duff, Lizzie McGuire. I mean, the millennials that are listening to this are getting very excited. Just me, you and I talking about it. Yes. Do you sing? No.
Right. You don't want to hear me sing. Do you ever try? No.
You don't want to hear it. Did you get pressure to be, to be like a five tool player, to be able to do multiple things like to sing, dance? Yeah. I don't think, no, not so much. Pretty much just, just this, just this.
I think I could probably act. You know who else was singing this week though? They made up an Elon Musk song. I don't know if you saw it.
They were doing a protest song. And if they keep doing that, we may never lose an election again. Did you, I mean, do you believe this? Do you believe someone signed off on that? Do you believe that they think that this is going to help them? I mean, it's crazy.
Hi everyone, I'm Brian Kilmeade. If you want something fun and easy to search for homes and apartments, then you should be using the Redfin app. Whether I'm searching for my next place, if I want to buy, if I want to rent, or if I just want to scroll through and see some dream homes, like for example, something on the beach, or at least a walk to the beach, a big house, second, maybe a third floor, I use the Redfin app. Redfin makes it fun to search all the homes for sale and apartments for rent in your neighborhood. You can filter for price, for bed, for bath, square footage, and so much more. So, if you find a place you love, Redfin makes it easy to go see it in person.
Just schedule a tour right from the app. Plus, if you're looking to sell, Redfin agents know how to get you the best price possible for your home. That's because they close twice as many deals as other agents. And with a listing fee as low as 1%, Redfin's fees are half of what others often charge, which means you'll have more money to put towards your next home. So, whether you're looking to buy, you're looking to rent, you're looking to sell, Redfin's got you covered.
Download the Redfin app to get started. But listen to some of the outrage about Elon Musk and the constitutional crisis that is not happening. Trump says, yeah, we're working through the courts.
Cut to. Trump, Elon, and their minions are trying to gut government services and push us into a constitutional crisis. We are facing, I think, a real constitutional crisis. A constitutional crisis. Well, then we really do have a constitutional crisis. We are basically on the cusp of a constitutional crisis. And that's where they're waiting, but it's not happening.
So, I've never seen such flailing. I always try to flip to another channel and just say, what is their point? Sometimes it's easy. For example, Roe v. Wade, I know where you're gonna stand. How are you gonna go into the argument? Go find out about it. You debate all the time.
You gotta be ready. But this, I don't even get it. I mean, I think people are embarrassed, Arian.
I looked at The Daily Show, Jon Stewart. He's laughing at these people, and he's a Democrat. Yeah, I don't know why they pick this as the hill they're gonna die on. I think you'd have better luck picking the hill of men and women's sports, or BLM, or Roe v. Wade. If Democrats really wanna make a comeback, there are more popular things that are also not popular that'll be more popular than defending waste, fraud, and abuse. And the way that they're justifying it, and it's really difficult for them to do, they're not justifying the line items like the DEI plays and the rap songs in Gaza.
They can't defend that. They know it's ridiculous. So, what they like to say instead is that Elon Musk is cutting all this money so he can give it to himself without any facts or details about how he's gonna give himself and his billionaire friends all this money. But it's become about Elon cuz they think that that old tactic of just demonizing the rich will work.
But that hasn't been popular since, I think, 2018. Right, I hear you, of the Donald Trump and his billionaire friends. Even on the tax reform, Republicans don't do a good enough job pushing back. The tax reform benefited middle class more than anyone. It was 1% off the top income rate because Barack Obama had raised it again off their income rate. The corporate rate, people say, rich corporations, but who works for those corporations?
They allow them to compete for other jobs and hire other people. Right, I also don't know why this party would be arguing for higher taxes. It seems so bizarre to me that they really are off on this island and they don't know what they're doing. They don't know where they're going.
I think it was four years, they're just taking a vacation under Biden. And now they're trying to find their thing and all their old things aren't working anymore. All the woke stuff, nobody wants to hear about the woke stuff. Nobody here wants to hear about taxation.
Nobody wants to hear about endless wars. So they're trying to find their thing and they're not finding it. I had Victor Davis Hanson on yesterday and there was a story about, they just looked at the Senate, like where is this heading? So in 2026, it's almost impossible for the Democrats to win back the Senate.
For 28 either, there's no indications on any red state that they're looking to flip to another Federman-like moderate character. And in the House, he expects it to expand. Can you imagine, which was ridiculously slim now, but can you imagine at the midterm of election with a lame duck president for it to expand?
That would be unbelievable. This is one of the craziest things of modern politics. Especially considering that just several months ago in November, we were wondering if we'd ever get a Republican elected again, if the Democrats were able to win. They were able to give amnesty to illegals, get them voting. I mean, we really were on the cusp of what I thought was a really dark era for Republicans and now it's completely changed by the grace of God. We dodged a bullet that was Kamala. Trump dodged his bullet.
We dodged ours. But I will say, I think the Democrats are going to get it together. I think they're going to get it together over the next year. They're going to find somebody that is going to be the voice of reason. It's not going to be any of the characters they have now. I heard yesterday that Jasmine Crockett was one of the considerations for 28.
And I'm thinking if that's where you guys wanna go, best of luck to you. You'd do better with Hillary Clinton at this point. The Congresswoman from Texas, she's smart and she's confident, but she's a firebrand. She's AOC, just speaks louder. She makes AOC look demure.
That's another nod to Gen Z. They love that word, demure, Brian. Yeah, I love it, personally.
I don't use it enough, but I do like it. I want you to hear exactly what Donald Trump's running on, because this is a cut from DEI Education Workshop. This is what's gotta go, cut for. Today's virtual roundtable is entitled Identifying and Disrupting Your Whiteness, a workshop addressing power and privilege toward anti-racist spaces. The term whiteness refers to race privilege, a way of seeing the world and a set of cultural practices that are usually unmarked and unnamed. Whiteness is often unrecognized, particularly by people who identify as white, but pervasive in American society and a barrier to inclusion and equity. This Equilearn virtual roundtable facilitated by equity fellow Dr. Sharon Radd offers a space to examine one's personal, local, and immediate connections to whiteness and privilege, and consider how to identify and disrupt rather than perpetuate. By the way, well-delivered, such passion.
I love this. Saying whiteness, they fill this out, I had to define it. Whiteness, a workshop addressing power and privilege toward anti-race spaces. The term whiteness refers to a race privilege, a way of seeing the world.
So thank you for that. I had no idea what whiteness actually meant. But these are the types of things that colleges, schools, businesses put in play to say, hey, if you wanna get this tax break, you better have one of these courses. Disrupting whiteness, wow. I would say it comes from a place of privilege to be able to say that you can disrupt another race and then call that academic work. But speaking of academics, I'll tell you the one vulnerability that I am concerned about. We can do well, we've won back the working class.
I do believe that. I believe we've won back the average American out there, the working American. I worry about our colleges still, cuz this is still going on in our colleges. There's not a lot that Donald Trump himself can do to disrupt that complex in academia. That is the last battleground that we need to show up at and we need to fight. And I think that there's a lot of gains. Elon Musk is wildly popular with Gen Z, with young people.
I think Donald Trump is increasing in popularity with his podcasting with Theo Vaughn and others. But this will be, I think if there's any vulnerability, it's the college campuses. We gotta show up there. I agree with you. I think there's gotta be a lot of pressure.
I wonder where it comes from and how they plan on attacking it. I know this, CBS's poll last Sunday showed for under 30s, President Trump has 55% approval rating. The rest of the country, 53. Whoever thought that would happen?
Tomi Lahren is sticking around, unless something goes terribly wrong in the break. No, something's wrong. Tomi, this is true, you have to go. I do, I have to go outnumbered. You have to do television. Yes, I do. And then we're gonna, could you be able to appear on the Saturday show? I absolutely can, yes. On One Nation, nine o'clock. All right, fantastic. Tomi Lahren, get out. I will.
All right, back in a moment. Illuminating, intriguing, inculcating. I know some of these words. It's Brian Kilmeade. I'm Dana Perino.
