If you're listening to Mark on the Iheart radio app, save time and tap the preset button now. Now back to the Mark Simone show on W-O-R. Hey, with us right now, The Brilliant columnist Liz Peek. You can read her at Fox News.com. You can read her at The Hill.com. Of course, you see her all over television. Liz Peake, how you doing? Good morning.

I'm terrific. Thanks. How about you? I'm great. Hey, Elon Musk, the idea that a private citizen

would rescue these astronauts. It's such a heroic thing. I'm watching the network news that

don't even barely mention it. How could this be?

Not only that. Let's agree.

He also, particularly in the early days of the Ukraine-Russia war, he basically saved Ukraine.

He allowed them by deploying Starlink satellite communications to Ukraine and to their military

I mean, this guy has done more for the public good than you and I

can possibly imagine, not to mention, creating one of the greatest car companies in the world,

which until recently was heralded by liberals for making EVs a reality and putting more

satellites in space for all kinds of corporate needs that anybody else.

I mean, the guy's incredible.

budget, the $6 trillion federal budget, and find places that taxpayers are losing money to fraud and waste and indifference

is the fact that he's being attacked for that is unimaginable.

You know, George Washington had this guy he turned to.

His name was Ben Franklin.

He was the greatest inventor of his day.
