1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Stateside Richard Land, morning to you. Good morning, Mike, meeting 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: your jobs. Marco's in, isn't he well? Among a rush 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: of names of Trump appointees and likely Trump aids, there 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: are also signs of some headwinds for Trump, even as 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: he seems to be moving quickly. Yeah, Senator Marco Rubio 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: is being proposed as Secretary of State. Little Marco was 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: Trump used to call him after you know, Rubio joked 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: about the size of Trump's private parts, then quickly jumped 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: on board the Trump train. The process is that the 10 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: Senate votes to confirm cabinet picks, but Trump wants to 11 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: do away with all that by calling on the Senate 12 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: to stay home, folks at the start of next year. 13 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: So only Trump then would make the pick by using 14 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: what they call recess appointments, which do not require the 15 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: Senate's approval, So telling the Senate shutdown, Trump will run 16 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: the show unilaterally. Senator x Scott is a Trumpster favored 17 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: by Elon Musk, who has become Trump's recent Marri Lago 18 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: dinner partner or whatever. Scott backs the Senate holiday plan. 19 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: But here's one of the headwinds. Some of the Senators 20 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: are balking at being made useless clones in the political system. 21 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: They're turning against Rick Scott for Senate leaders. We'll see 22 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: Ribuo is a China Hawk and seen by many in 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Washington is what passes these days for old school Republican. 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: On the Ukraine War, Rubio has said he is not 25 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: on Russia's side, but he voted against military aid for 26 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Ukraine and now he's signing on with Trump, who has 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: said on that subject, I will have that war settled 28 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: in one day, twenty four hours. I will get it 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: settled before I even become president if I win. When 30 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: I'm president elect, and what I'll do is I'll speak 31 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: to one, I'll speak to the other, I'll get them together. Yeah, 32 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't much look like that right now, does it? 33 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: With the war expanding, with North Korean troops brought onto 34 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: the battlefront now, and with European reports that Putin may 35 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: have added four more countries to his invasion hit list 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: of Stony, Alatvia, Lithuanrian, Moldova, those first three the Baldic 37 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: States and Native Members, so those reports in any way series. 38 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Trump Junior just reposted a video mocking Ukraine's President Zelenski, 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: saying quote, you're thirty days away from losing your allowance. 40 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: Interesting words about a war of national survival in which 41 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: some eighty thousand Ukrainians have died trying to protect their homeland. Anyway, 42 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: here's another headwind, and American president cannot unilaterally withdraw from NATO. 43 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: That requires a two thirds vote from both the Senate 44 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: and the House. House Member Elista Farnick has been chosen 45 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: for you in Ambassador. She became a vocal Mega supporter 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: during a campaign disputing the Trump election loss in twenty 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: twenty as she also proposed blocking funding for the UN 48 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Agency for Palestinian refugee So much for the Arab Americans 49 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: in Michigan who voted Trump on the immigration front. Christy Knowam, 50 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: the South Dakota governor as to be nominated for Homeland Security. 51 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: She is the one who lost out as potentially being 52 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: the Trump running mate after she revealed in her memoir 53 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: that she shot her dog in a gravel pit when 54 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: it misbehaved. She said that story was proof she was 55 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: ready to take action to do whatever needs to be done, 56 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: no matter quote how difficult, messy, or ugly it may be. 57 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Tom Holman is chosen as borders are well, there's no 58 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: such cabinet post borders are what the heck is that? 59 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: But he says I will run the biggest deportation operations 60 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: country has ever seen. I'm second prior to her about 61 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: the family separation, and I'm still be in sued over that. 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: So come give me. I don't give it. He recently 63 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: spoke at a meeting of something called the Rod of 64 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Iron Festival, run by the son of former count leader 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: son Meng Mun Sean Moon, who calls himself King bullet 66 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: Headed with a crown made out of ammunition. Lovely look. 67 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: Moon Junior recently claimed some Jews were behind the terrorist 68 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: attacks of September the eleventh, The same Jewish Front group 69 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: he alleges who were involved in World War Two helped 70 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: engineer the takedown of Hitler. Things that I see it 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: just makes me shake my head. After what they've programmed, 72 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: is that people going to learn a lot about World 73 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: War Two and Hitler and the Nazis. They don't learn 74 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: about Hitler was actually fighting the same people that we're 75 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: trying to take down today. Not clear what role RFK 76 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Junior will have. He says he wants to sack some 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: six hundred scientists at the National Institutes of Health. If 78 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: there is a Senate confirmation hearing for RFK, well, that'd 79 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: be a doozy. He has a very very very colorful history. 80 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Environment EPA go to Lee Zelden, who says he plans 81 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: to gut climate rules. Elon Musk jumped in on that 82 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: Trump phone call the other day with Ukraine's Lenska. We've 83 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: never seen anything like that from a private citizen. Musk 84 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: also has speculated about abolishing the US Central Bank. The 85 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: Federal reserved your own power. The FED chair says the 86 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: President has no power to fire him. You know, the 87 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: last time Trump got in his National Security advisor, now 88 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: to be Mike Waltz lasted for two weeks. That was 89 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: Mike Flinn, while former Veteran's Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie was 90 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: forced out amid claims he tried to cover up a 91 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: sex scandal. He's now been reappointed by President elect Trump. 92 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: It's almost like it's twenty sixteen again and cold.
