00:00From national security to global corruption, this is the Muckrakers on today's news talk,
00:07TNT.
00:08And also, the regular on the show, and it's a highlight of the week each time, Errol Musk.
00:13Welcome back, Errol.
00:17I have to ask, because the exciting stuff at the moment, we've got this spacewalk underway.
00:21I've been following it here as well on the thing.
00:24They literally, basically, as we speak, they've just gone out of the Dragon spacecraft and
00:29the full spacewalk is taking place.
00:32Mr. Isaacman can be seen as he begins carrying out the suit test against the spectacular
00:36backdrop of the Earth.
00:38I don't know if you can see that, but you can follow that as well.
00:40Yes.
00:41It is quite incredible.
00:42Were you ever tempted yourself?
00:43Would you go and do it?
00:44Oh, of course I'd go and do it.
00:46Of course.
00:47Yeah, of course.
00:48It does sound amazing.
00:49It sounds wonderful.
00:50For those of you who don't know, Errol is a retired South African engineer, politician,
00:57and businessman, and a lover of fine cars.
00:59We compare notes off air, don't we?
01:02Which is all rather good.
01:03He's the father of somebody called Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and businessman who founded
01:08X.com in 1999, I think it was.
01:10That later became PayPal.
01:12He did SpaceX in 2002 and Tesla Motors in 2003.
01:16Elon Musk became a multimillionaire in his late 20s when he sold his startup company,
01:20Zip2, to a division of Compact Computers.
01:24He's got ownership stake in many different companies, including X.Corp, The Boring Company,
01:28X.A.I., Neuralink, OpenAI, and Starlink.
01:32He's been described as the Edison of our time and the de facto U.S. president.
01:37He's currently the richest person in the world with a net worth of 251 billion, and according
01:42to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, a great thing to have, he's projected to become the
01:46first trillionaire by 2027.
01:50That's not bad, is it?
01:51It's got to be good.
01:52It's got to be good.
01:55Help me out here, Errol, because I have people always around the world, and all I can do
01:58is write in and say, what do you give to the man who's got everything?
02:02You must know.
02:03What was the last thing you gave to Elon?
02:05Oh, that's a difficult one.
02:08No, I guess you buy a book, the latest interesting book, usually a tech sort of book, that comes
02:16to mind.
02:17We did do that, yes.
02:18A tech book.
02:19Sometimes a good history book.
02:21We can help rewrite the good history books, can't we?
02:25I think that's always important as well.
02:27What was the last thing he gave you, Errol?
02:30I hope it wasn't the flu or something, Errol.
02:35I have the flu at the moment.
02:38No, but he gave me a Bentley last week.
02:40He gave you a Bentley last week?
02:42Oh, that's the picture that you sent me.
02:44Glorious one.
02:45We drove down, I think, last time we spoke, which was interesting.
02:48Now, I want us to focus today on US politics and the extraordinary scene that we had.
02:54The finally long debated discussion between Harris and Trump.
03:00Did you both have a chance to see some of it, if not all of it?
03:03Yes.
03:04Yes, yes.
03:05Yes, definitely.
03:06And I know, Basil, you managed to see some sort of highlights, but you couldn't stand
03:09sitting through the whole thing, which is interesting.
03:11But what I loved about it was this is the first time.
03:15And Harris, I have to say, was a little bit better than we were expecting her to be.
03:20Let's first of all have a look, then, because there was a long time coming, this debate.
03:24And basically, they engaged in their first presidential debate focusing on topics such
03:28as the economy, trade policy and abortion rights.
03:31What was interesting were the debate rules.
03:33And I don't know if you know much about this, but there were basically discussions about
03:37muting the microphones, whether they should be muted when it's not a candidate's turn
03:41to speak.
03:42Basically, Harris's and Trump's campaign, they had different conflicts.
03:45And you'd be surprised about this, because basically, Harris's team advocated for live
03:49mics during the exchange, while Trump's team pushed for muted mics.
03:53And Trump's normal debating tactic is to bam, that's the speaker.
03:58But he didn't in this particular one.
04:00The debate lasted 90 minutes with two commercial breaks.
04:02And they were anchored by two ABC anchors, David Muir and Lindsay Davis.
04:07There was no audience in the room.
04:10The other rules was there's going to be no opening statements.
04:12And there was a two-minute closing statement.
04:14There was a restriction on props, no props, no pre-written notes, and no candidate-to-candidate
04:19questioning.
04:20And it all took place in the National Congress Constitutional Center in Philadelphia, a critical
04:25swing state.
04:27What was your general reaction, let's start with you, Errol, to that debate?
04:32Well, it was obvious that I think Trump did a fine job, as fine as he could.
04:39It was clear that Kamala Harris had a lot of acting, or rather, training, to make the
04:49replies that she did.
04:51You know, they were very rehearsed.
04:53And I'm inclined to think she was even asked the questions by the same moderators beforehand.
05:01In other words, what's the first time she saw those moderators?
05:04I'm pretty sure of that.
05:06It's very unfair, very crooked.
05:09The whole thing, very crooked.
05:10The other thing that I noticed is that she's wearing the new audio earrings, which you
05:15can buy.
05:16I saw that.
05:17I saw that on the internet.
05:19There was a little meme about it.
05:21They showed the shop.
05:22Yeah.
05:23They have the antenna and everything.
05:25Yes.
05:26Yeah, I've seen them.
05:27I've seen them before.
05:28You know, it's a hearing aid.
05:33You know, they can talk to her.
05:35She was, how do you call it, helped through the whole thing with a bit of prompting, I
05:42imagine.
05:43And on the other hand, I mean, on top of that, as a woman, she spoke all right.
05:48But let me put it like this.
05:51There are volumes written about men having an argument with a woman, or trying to argue
05:58with a woman.
06:00And the bottom line is this.
06:02Men have an innate desire to make sense with their argument, whereas women have no such
06:09desire.
06:11And that's the bottom line of all arguments between a man and a woman.
06:15It's simple.
06:17Men have a desire, a strong desire to make sense.
06:21Women have no such desire.
06:23But at any rate, I thought it was all right.
06:26I think, clearly, from my point of view, as a businessman, and knowing the background
06:32of this woman and everything, and knowing that it was all rehearsed and so on, obviously,
06:37it didn't do anything to move me in terms of who I would rather see in government.
06:44And that is, I'd like to see this new Republic Party in power there, for certain.
06:52I mean, to get rid of all the people that are homeless, and stop all this incredible
06:57mess that's going on all around the world, in America and all around the world.
07:03We follow the United States.
07:05And we also know here that if Donald Trump gets in, in South Africa, it will lift us
07:11as well.
07:12You see, we know that.
07:13We know that it will lift us out of, you could say, almost depression or recession.
07:20It is very interesting.
07:21I'm very keen to have a look at that.
07:22You raise a very interesting point about the earrings.
07:25I've seen this reported online together with photos.
07:28There are pictures of, apparently, you can receive little earrings, little antenna and
07:32things like that.
07:33You can receive messages.
07:34Definitely.
07:35There's no doubt about it.
07:36There's absolutely no doubt about it.
07:37They are the earrings that you use for that purpose.
07:41It's not maybe.
07:42It's definitely.
07:43No question about it.
07:46It's amazing to me that these earrings, people know about them.
07:51They blatantly didn't worry about it.
07:53They just didn't worry about it.
07:55It is extraordinary.
07:56Well, they should be looking into that.
07:58And I would, I always say, look, here on the Mug Breakers, our only mission is to find
08:02the truth.
08:03And I put it out to ABC.
08:04If that were the case, do come on and let us know.
08:07Let us know if you check those earrings.
08:09And to anybody on Kamala Harris's party, come forward and confess if that's the truth.
08:15Or tell us all about it.
08:16Show us those earrings.
08:17We'll have a look.
08:18And it has been a presidential campaign all about ears from the appalling assassination
08:22attempt and that sort of stuff to Kamala.
08:25And that's how you pronounce her name with her earpiece.
08:28I think Donald should come on with it with little earrings as well next time.
08:31I think that will be good.
08:32So he can have his TV people.
08:34We're going to take a quick break.
08:36A big one.
08:37A big one.
08:38Exactly.
08:39We're going to take a quick break.
08:42When we come back, we're going to do a deeper dive into what they actually discussed.
08:45Don't touch that dial.
08:49This is The Mug Breakers on today's news talk, TNT.
08:55Well, a very warm welcome back to The Mug Breakers with me, Andrew Ebon, joined by Basil
08:59Valentine and my new best mate, Errol Musk over there, comparing all sorts of notes about
09:04cars and earrings and other things.
09:06I was mentioning just before the break, or actually Errol brought it up about these earrings.
09:10There we go.
09:11An ad for these.
09:12You can have a look at that.
09:13I think the gallery can pick them up.
09:15They're called, apparently, the Nova H1 Pearl Earphones.
09:20And somebody claims that Kamala cheated the debate with these.
09:26I do want to do a deep dive into that.
09:28If anybody who's watching at the moment has a pair of these Nova H1 Pearl Earphones, do
09:33let us know.
09:34I'll wear them in the next episode.
09:36We can get some of those.
09:37And we'll try it out, which is good.
09:40It's been an absolute delight, as always.
09:42Basil, thank you very much for joining me yet again.
09:45Errol, always a pleasure.
09:46We'll compare notes on cars continuously before we get you back on next time.
09:51The rest of you, I will be back again tomorrow.
09:53Same time, same place.
09:55Do whatever you can to support TNT and the wonderful mission.
09:58Our quest, our unwavering quest, is to keep uncovering the truth.
10:02With your help, we can continue to do that.
10:04I've been Andrew Ebon.
10:05You've been great.
10:06Thank you very much for joining us.
10:09See you next time.
