A billion views: Donald Trump tells Elon Musk Kamala Harris is a radical ‘San Francisco liberal’

“I think a lot of people thought, you know, that the Biden administration would be a moderate administration, but it’s not,” he said.

He said Kamala Harris will move even “further left” than Biden.

“I mean, her dad is literally… a Marxist economist”

A much publicized recorded conversation between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has generated 1 billion views, according to the former.

Musk, who owns X (formerly Twitter), spoke with Trump for nearly two hours last night on the social media platform. The conversation was delayed by a “massive distributed denial of service attack,” Musk said. The hackers’ attack showed “there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say.”

The European Union also sent a letter to Musk warning him that he had obligations to avoid posting “harmful content” that would “generate detrimental effects on civic discourse.”

Meanwhile, the Tesla CEO said Trump must win “for the good of the country.”

The pair talked about illegal immigration, the economy under Trump, the recent assassination attempt upon the former president, and crime.

Musk said he has “historically” been a “moderate Democrat” and explained why he is backing Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“I feel like we’re really at a critical juncture for the country,” he said during the conversation. “I think a lot of people thought, you know, that the Biden administration would be a moderate administration, but it’s not,” he said.

He said Kamala Harris will move even “further left” than Biden.

“I mean, her dad is literally… a Marxist economist,” Musk said. (Even left-wing Snopes has acknowledged Stanford University Professor Donald Harris is a Marxist.)

Musk also said that Harris is “far left” but there is a “propaganda” campaign to remake her into a moderate.

“And we’re seeing just an overnight propaganda attempt to rewrite history and make it sound like Kamala’s moderate when she in fact is not moderate,” Musk said.

Trump pointed out that Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is also a radical. As governor, he signed a law requiring boys’ bathrooms to provide female hygiene products.

“Well, her running mate approved, signed into legislation tampons in boys’ bathrooms, okay? Now that’s all I have to hear, tampons in boys’ bathrooms,” the former president said. “And that means she believes in that, too. I mean, she picked this guy because he was the closest to her.”

“If we have her as a president, if we have a Democrat at this moment as the president, I don’t think our country can survive,” Trump warned.

Both talked about “common sense” views and the need to avoid the country turning into a nation-sized San Francisco or California.

“I think these are issues that I think most people in America would agree with, which is that we want safe and clean cities,” Musk said. “We want secure borders” and “sensible government spending,” as well as a fair judicial system.

Open borders are ‘existential issue,’ Musk says

Unchecked illegal immigration is a threat to the country and an “existential issue,” according to Musk.

“Whether it’s a question of intention or competence, either way, we don’t have a secure border and we have people streaming over like it looks like a World War Z zombie apocalypse at times,” Musk said, referencing Vice President Harris’ role as border czar.

Referencing a trip he took to the border, Musk said the people crossing “did not look friendly.”

“These are rough people,” Trump said in agreement.

“The caravans are coming in… and who’s doing this is the heads of the countries,” Trump said.

“The fact is it’s brilliant for them because they’re [sending] all their bad people, really bad people,” he warned and stated that among the illegal migrants were people who are lazy or won’t work.

He added: “And they’re also getting rid of their of their murderers and their drug dealers and the people that are really brutal people.”

He also suggested that foreign countries are sending prisoners into the USA to save the money it would cost to keep them in jail.

Trump criticized Harris for suggesting that she is going to start securing the border, noting that she has not done so since taking office in 2021.

“I think this is a fundamental existential issue for the United States,” Musk said during the interview. “And if we have another four more years of open borders, and it’s gonna be even worse. With another four more years, it’s gonna be even worse than it’s been for the past three and a half years.”

“I’m not sure we’ve got a country,” the Tesla CEO warned.

The pair also discussed how relatively few of the migrants are from neighboring Mexico.

“It’s Earth, the rest of Earth,” Musk said.

Musk and Trump also discussed some of the more radical elements of the environmentalist agenda. Though Musk owns an electric car company, he also supports the use of oil and gas. Trump pointed out that most electricity still comes from oil and gas.

“Even to create your electric car and create the electricity needed for the electric car, you know, fossil fuel is what really creates that at the generating plants,” Trump said.

Musk was more pessimistic, saying the country may need to move away from oil and gas, but that even in 100 years the country would “probably be okay” in terms of fuel. He said there should not be “hardship” in moving away from oil and gas.

He suggested that both solar and nuclear power could provide more energy in the future.

The conversation between the CEO and the former POTUS also covered the “lawfare” against Trump, who has been targeted with questionable charges and novel legal theories, including in New York. There, a left-wing prosecutor named Alvin Bragg got the president convicted on questionable charges of campaign finance violations for alleged hush money payments he made to a porn actress. The decision has drawn criticism from legal experts.

“It does happen in banana republics and third world countries, but it’s never happened [here],” Trump said.

The former president also declared that Harris would harm the country if elected president, saying that she “destroyed” San Francisco and California while in power there. Harris served as the district attorney for San Francisco prior to running for attorney general.

Harris is “radical left,” Trump said.

“She is a San Francisco liberal who destroyed San Francisco. And then as attorney general, she destroyed California,” Trump said.

“Our country is becoming a very dangerous place,” Trump warned shortly after those comments. “And she is a radical left, San Francisco liberal.”

Breaking: P.E.I. Urges RCMP Probe of Alleged Foreign Interference, Money Laundering

Published on October 16, 2025

Prince Edward Island’s government has formally asked the RCMP to investigate allegations of foreign interference and money laundering tied to Buddhist-affiliated organizations operating in the province — an escalation that follows The Bureau’s reporting and last week’s press conference on Parliament Hill calling for a federal public inquiry.

In a letter sent today to RCMP Commissioner Michael Duheme, Premier Rob Lantz and Minister of Housing Cory Deagle urge federal authorities to “review any evidence available, engage with the individuals who have made these claims, and conduct an investigation into any wrongdoing.” A companion letter was sent to FINTRAC, asking Canada’s financial intelligence unit to assess whether regulatory action is warranted.

The government move comes a week after The Bureau reported on findings presented at an October 8 news conference tied to the book Canada Under Siege: How P.E.I. Became a Forward Operating Base for the Chinese Communist Party.

In a following op-ed, co-author Garry Clement said the press conference had “set down a marker: Canada has entered a new era of contestation — over influence, sovereignty, and the integrity of its democratic institutions.” In related coverage by CBC, representatives of the religious groups have denied any links to the Chinese Communist Party or any improper dealings.

Clement and co-authors argued that the allegations demand “action, reform, and reckoning,” and called for a federal public inquiry with full powers — an appeal joined by former Solicitor General and long-time P.E.I. MP Wayne Easter, who urged an inquiry capable of compelling testimony and documents.

The Bureau also revealed a development that stunned Islanders: a response subpoenaed by P.E.I. lawmakers showed that an anticipated 2016–2018 Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) investigation into Buddhist-linked land holdings was never completed. A January 26, 2018 letter from IRAC’s appointed counsel notified firms representing the groups that the section 15 probe “has ended,” without public findings or any explanation of who ordered the closure or why. The disclosure raised fresh questions about oversight and potential conflicts, and now forms part of the backdrop to the province’s formal request for federal action.

The Bureau contacted IRAC last week with questions related to the agency’s management, including counsel relationships and prior positions within P.E.I. legal networks. New developments on this breaking story will be reported.

Today’s letter to RCMP Commissioner Duheme from the P.E.I. government explicitly references the October 8 statements by a former Solicitor General of Canada and a former RCMP Superintendent, noting it was “suggested that information exists that could provide grounds for a criminal investigation.” The Premier further flags assertions that P.E.I. has been used as “a forward operating base for the Chinese Communist Party,” calling the claim “serious” and stating it must be examined by federal agencies to determine whether any factual basis exists.

The province also points to what it describes as a newly mandated and ongoing investigation by IRAC into land holdings “associated with some of the same entities referenced in the public allegations,” using powers expanded in 2022 under the Lands Protection Act. Any findings with criminal or national-security implications, the letter says, will be referred to federal authorities.

‘Taxation Without Representation’: Trump Admin Battles UN Over Global Carbon Tax

Published on October 16, 2025

From the Daily Caller News Foundation

By Melissa O’Rourke

The Trump administration is fighting to block a global carbon tax that a United Nations (UN) agency is attempting to pass quietly this week.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), a UN body based in London, is meeting this week to adopt a so-called “Net-Zero Framework,” which would levy significant penalties on carbon dioxide emissions from ships that exceed certain limits. The Trump administration argues the proposal could raise global shipping costs by as much as 10%, ultimately driving up prices for American consumers.

“President Trump has made it clear that the United States will not accept any international environmental agreement that unduly or unfairly burdens the United States or harms the interests of the American people,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said in a joint statement Friday.

“The Administration unequivocally rejects this proposal before the IMO and will not tolerate any action that increases costs for our citizens, energy providers, shipping companies and their customers, or tourists,” the cabinet secretaries wrote.

The proposed tax is part of the IMO’s broader goal to bring global shipping to net-zero emissions “by or around” 2050. Qualifying ships that fall short of emissions targets would face taxes ranging from $100 to $380 per ton of CO2.

Notably, the tax would be paid directly by shipowners rather than governments.

The Net-Zero Framework could generate between $11 billion and $12 billion annually from 2028 through 2030, paid into a UN-controlled fund, according to University College London. Meanwhile, other estimates warn that if the global fleet misses the IMO’s targets by even 10%, the annual cost of emissions could climb to $20 to $30 billion by 2030 and potentially exceed $300 billion by 2035.

Some critics equated the proposal to “taxation without representation,” noting that an unelected committee would have the authority to set and potentially raise the tax.

The Trump administration is urging member states to reject the proposal and has threatened retaliatory measures against countries that support it. These include investigations into anti-competitive practices, visa restrictions for maritime crews, commercial and financial penalties, higher port fees for ships tied to those nations, and possible sanctions on officials promoting climate policies.

“The Trump administration is right to draw a hard line against the UN’s latest scheme to export its climate agenda through global taxes and trade barriers,” Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Isaac said the proposed carbon tax, along with other measures — including the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, which requires companies to disclose environmental and social impacts — “represent an alarming attempt to impose costly, extraterritorial regulations on American businesses and consumers.”

“These measures threaten U.S. sovereignty, inflate energy and transport costs, and weaponize climate policy as a tool of economic coercion,” Isaac said. “The United States must not tolerate foreign governments using environmental pretexts to dictate how we trade, build, and move goods. President Trump’s firm stance puts American workers and energy security first, where they belong.”

Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, also commended the administration’s efforts to block the UN measure.

“Not only does [Trump] oppose the UN carbon tax, but he has instructed his administration to take action against nations that try to implement it against the U.S.,” Milloy told the DCNF. “I am simply in awe of his commitment to ending the international climate hoax, which has long been aimed at stealing from and otherwise crippling our country’s economy and national security.”
