Hey everyone, welcome back to the Elon Musk Podcast. I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you. Over the next two weeks, we're evolving. We'll be broadening our focus to cover all the tech titans shaping our world. You'll still get the latest insights on Elon Musk, plus so much more. So stay tuned for our official relaunch coming soon. Now let's get into this episode. Golden, golden time. And I want to congratulate, I want to thank a man who
named Elon Musk because he did a big thing. You know, when I was down here, early on, I was down and we were with the folks and they were going, "Sir, we need Starlink." I said, "What the hell is Starlink?" He said, "Do you know Elon Musk? It's the most incredible thing." Because especially in North Carolina, they had no communication whatsoever. They were just -- right, Perry? They were just wiped out. And they had no communication.
And it's hard to get. It's hard to get. So I called up Elon, and he endorsed me. He gave me the greatest endorsement. And how about that rocket the way it came in yesterday? Was that crazy? Was that crazy? You know, I was on the phone with somebody, and I have the television on, no sound or anything. And I'm looking at the screen, but I'm talking to somebody. I guess it couldn't have been that interesting a person, but I said,
And I'm watching the screen and this big monster, you know, things like 20 stories tall. And it's coming down, the fire's pouring out of it from all angles. And I say, I don't know. Could you hold on a minute? I want to say something happening on television. I've never seen anything like this, Brandon. The great Brandon Beach. Does everybody know Brandon? Great. Thank you, Brandon. What a good patriot he is.
But I said, I've never seen anything like this that's coming down, down, down. And I said, oh, man, it's going to be terrible. It's going to hit the gantry or whatever they call it. It's going to hit it. It's going to knock it over. Marjorie Telegrave is going to knock it over. It's going to knock it on its ass like you knock your competitors on their ass, Marjorie. Right.
And she does. She is highly respected, let me tell you. Smart. So it's coming down and I didn't like the angle. I said, come on, baby. And then all of a sudden you see the fire pouring from the right side. It straightens up. Boom. I mean, the thing. And I said, that was amazing. And I forgot the guy that was on the phone. He was, you know, they have a certain respect.
We're leading everybody, so they hold on forever. You know, they would have held on for — Doug, they would have held on for an hour, but I just totally forgot because I've never seen anything like this. So, Elon, I said, "Elon, could you do me a favor?" "Starlink." "Yes, what would you like about it?" I said, "They need hundreds of them in North Carolina and also in Georgia. They really want them in Georgia, too, because they lost their wires. They're down."
And I'm talking to him, and as I'm talking, I get a call from somebody in North Carolina. "Thank you for the Starlink." And I said, "How the hell did you do that?" No, it's true. Eli. He's different. No, he's different.
And I said, "Elon, I don't know what Starlink is, but they like it. They like it." But, no, it was a lot of fun because I'm on the phone and it's all done. And I'll tell you what, it got here. And it was delayed once it got here. There was bad things happened, you know, that's happened with a lot of people. But they -- ultimately, they got it. And I said, "How does it compare to the lines?" They said, "It's better."
And, I mean, the guy just is a fantastic guy. So we want to thank him for his big endorsement. And he really does. You know where he is right now? He's in Pennsylvania campaigning for me. Is that right? He's in Pennsylvania campaigning. And we were in Butler, Pennsylvania, honoring Corey, the firefighter who lost his life. Two other good guys, by the way. Two other very good guys.
But he lost his life. And Elon was there, and he wore the black hat. I did not know we had a black hat. It's black with black letters, okay? And he called it Dark MAGA. And he hasn't taken it off. He loves that hat. No, but we want to thank him. He's been really great. He's a great patriot. He's a brilliant guy, too. I mean, who could -- I said, "Does anybody else do that with rockets?" Because I've been watching this stuff for a long time. "Byron, have you ever seen that before?" I said, "Can the Russians do it?" "No."
Can NASA do it? No. Can anybody do it? No, only me. I said, keep it going, man. That's pretty cool. It's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Pretty cool. You know, we got to protect our brilliant people. We got to remember that. There aren't too many brilliant people around. Not too many, right, Marjorie? Marjorie knows better than anybody. There aren't too many. Oh, your lieutenant governor is right there. Look at this. We have big power, huh? Thank you, bro. Thank you.
With your vote, we will create millions of new great-paying jobs. Wages will sort. Your taxes, your taxes are going to fall. You saw that? Your net worth will skyrocket. America will be confident again. You know, America has lost its confidence. It's a terrible thing to say. I said it one time, and I said, you know, it's actually true.
But it's going to come back very quickly. America will be respected again. The American people will be optimistic again. And you will be proud of the life and the future you are going to give and giving to your children. Our legacy will be nothing less than the rebirth of the American dream. You don't hear about the American dream anymore. You don't hear about the American. We used to hear about the American dream. My father used to say, you want to live the American dream, son? And I said, what's the American dream, dad? And I didn't quite make it.
I wanted to make it. Now, I could have the American dream. You know what? I had the American dream that I need this, but I wouldn't swap it. I wouldn't swap it, Byron.
