Matt Gagnon discusses Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration, highlighting a New York Times headline criticizing Musk for addressing bureaucratic fraud without evidence. Gagnon counters by citing a Government Accountability Office report under Biden estimating $233 billion to $521 billion in annual fraud. He defines waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. Gagnon criticizes media bias and hypocrisy, noting that many unelected officials in previous administrations were not similarly scrutinized. Callers express support for Musk and Trump, contrasting Musk with billionaire George Soros. Gagnon concludes, reflecting on the media’s irrelevance and his own emotional resilience.
