| 0:08.4 | Hello, I'm Jack Blanchard. |
| 0:10.4 | And I'm Dasha Burns. |
| 0:11.6 | It is Thursday, June 12th. |
| 0:13.8 | And this is the Playbook podcast. |
| 0:16.0 | Good morning. |
| 0:16.8 | Dasha, I have a question for you. |
| 0:18.5 | Oh, no. |
| 0:19.2 | Have you ever apologized to someone at 3 o'clock in the morning? I probably should have. I probably have owed people apologies at three in the morning. So you know what, respect. I just think the most Elon Musk thing you could do, like what does an Elon Musk apology look like? Something I never thought we'd ever see an Elon Musk apology. We finally saw one yesterday. but he had to do it at about five past three in the morning because that's what Elon Musk is like. But you know what? He keeps Trump hours, so it's natural. He does. What did you make of that? I didn't think that whole relationship would blow up quite to the extent that it did so publicly and so visibly. And I certainly didn't think we'd see Elon Musk |
| 0:54.3 | essentially publicly apologizing, even in the dead and I. What did you make of that? |
| 0:58.6 | The fire started and was put out just about as quickly. It's, I mean, look, Musk is still erratic |
| 1:06.0 | and really disagrees. And it has continued to make some of these points with some of the policies |
| 1:10.3 | of the Trump administration. So I don't know that we've seen the last bat between like Musk and Trump |
| 1:15.6 | and I think there are some people that aren't happy with the makeup here. I can really count many, |
| 1:22.2 | actually, as I'm thinking about this in my head. But for now, they've made up. |
| 1:26.9 | I tell you, it hasn't made up. Musk and Scott Besson. I was watching Besson giving testimony on the Hill yesterday. And he looked gleeful when he was asked about Elon Musk. He couldn't help just throwing in a little jib than there, something about preferring South Carolina to South Africa. Well, he was asked about the physical fight and, you know, he brushed that off. But, oh, I bet you he wanted to spill some tea. He was holding back. |
| 1:44.3 | All right. Let's talk about the big stories, driving the day. |
| 1:50.6 | I can't believe it. It's been almost a week now since those first ice raids in Los Angeles that |
| 1:55.1 | kicked off this story. We are all still going to be talking about it through the day. The big |
| 1:58.8 | moment today is happening later this afternoon when Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, gets his day in court, he will try |
| 2:05.6 | and fight Donald Trump's decision to send in the troops to California. In a courtroom, that |
| 2:10.8 | will be happening at 1.30 p.m. Pacific time. And that, by the way, has really been the best |
