Elon Musk: ‘We Gave Money to the Taliban ... Like a Lot’

Hannity: “As I scroll this information, and I will scroll a lot more than I’ll mention to both of you, this is the cost savings. I want people at home to to understand this part. The average American makes $66,000 a year. Okay? We have $37 trillion in national debt.

DEI programs in Serbia. The president’s favorite, I’m sure you love that taxpayer money was spent on a DEI musical in Ireland or a transgender opera in Columbia or a transgender comic book in Peru.”
