10

Speaker 2: Manager, Matt Gates. Matt Gates that cakes got it the hair, that's.

11
00:00:52,520 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 4: Him and that's a useful girlfriend. Allegedly, they dropped those charges.

12
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 4: According to multiple news sources. We were gonna hear a

13
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 4: whole bout more about those charges on Friday, and still

14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 4: might any who.

15
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: Here's why.

16
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: I hope nobody leaks it. Here's my question. I was

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: just talking to Hanson about this. I talked about it

18
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: with my son yesterday afternoon and I picked him up

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: from school as the news was breaking. The question is why?

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: The why is the question? Why does Trump do this?

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: And I think I and it seemed this way his.

22
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 2: Whole life, I guess.

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: But he feels comfortable when things are going crazy. That's

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: his that's his happy place. Most of us like me.

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: I hate drama. God, I hate drama. I do anything

26
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: to have a placid life without drama. But some people

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: thrive on it, and he is like the all time

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 4: king of I think when he flipped on all the

29
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 4: TV stations over the last week and it was all

30
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 4: kind of moderate, he won and kind of quiet and

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: another reasonable choice for Donald Trump boring.

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm dying inside.

33
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: But when he flipped on all the channels yesterday and

34
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 4: everybody's heads are exploding, Oh, a sense of relief, a

35
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 4: practically orgasmic level of happiness overcomes him. I think, right,

36
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: you know, I think that that's not wrong. I would

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: take another look or look at the other side of

38
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: the coin. He's also a guy who in the in

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 4: you know, developing many many interesting real estate projects through

40
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: the years, has a number of bankruptcies, and that people

41
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 4: made a big deal of that.

42
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: Although that's not that crazy.

43
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: If you're a developer, you start corporations to develop a

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: certain project, and then some of them were like shots

45
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: for the moon, big big plays, bold plays, and some

46
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: of them didn't work out and went bankrupt.

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: And Trump's used to that. So the idea of I'm

48
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: in I'm gonna go with one.

49
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: Of the more defensible plays here, the Hegsith Department of Defense.

50
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: He thought, you know what, with all the instability in

51
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: the world, our pentagon is incredibly hide bound and bloated

52
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: and slow moving and unresponsive, Let's make a big play

53
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: and if it goes to hell, we'll pick up the pieces.

54
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 4: There's somebody else will. I think he's comfortable with that

55
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: sort of chaos for sure.

56
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

57
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: Fox News has been handling this since it broke yesterday afternoon,

58
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: including this morning on Fox and Friends with It's kind

59
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: of the third story of the day. The biggest story

60
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: of the day is Trump and Biden met in the

61
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: Oval office. Here they are in front of the fire,

62
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: and they said nice things about it. In other news,

63
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: he named Matt Gaetz's attorney general. Also, Donald Trump is

64
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: planning to uh speak with the leader of Taiwan this afternoon.

65
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: I mean, are you freaking kidding me? Are you freaking kidding?

66
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: Who are you?

67
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: Try playing it, doll, I guess because they don't know

68
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 4: what else to say.

69
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: So there.

70
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: I haven't heard a single positive comment out of a Republican.

71
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: The best you can do is kind of a neutral

72
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: ish like Lindsey Graham, who hates Matt Gates, saying, well,

73
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: we'll go through the process and we'll see how it

74
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: plays out. That's the best result you can get from

75
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: a Republican. Other Republicans are are you effing kidding me?

76
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 4: Or not a chance in hell? I vote for him?

77
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: Or a orful a variety of both kinds of comments,

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: right right, Yeah, from his own party. Yeah, I've been

79
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: thinking about this a lot, and I don't know how

80
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 4: in depth we want to get during this segment, but

81
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: I get the pick. And I'm not saying I think

82
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: it's an awful pick. I think it's a ridiculous pick,

83
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: but I get it given. And here's the short version.

84
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: Given the way the FBI especially, but the intelligence community, Hello,

85
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: Ga treated Trump the Russia Gate of hoax page in Strock.

86
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: Call me, please call me leaking like I don't have

87
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: a good metaphor what leaks a lot like a hundred

88
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: year old robot leaky things in short, anyway, Yeah, Trump

89
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: wants to go in there with somebody who just does

90
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: not give a single poop about tradition and the agency

91
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: and blah blah blah. He just he wants a wrecking

92
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: ball well, fine, pick a better wrecking ball. I have

93
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: no time for any of the people in our government

94
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: who are only there to get attention. The AOC's, the

95
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: Adams Shifts, the Marjorie Taylor Greens, or the Matt Gateses,

96
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: none of them who are just all they do is

97
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: try to get on television. They have no interest in

98
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: actually governing or doing anything. I have no time for

99
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: those people. The Instagram caucus. Yeah, Matt Gates is a

100
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: famous I guess he understands the modern world. They understand

101
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: the modern world better than I do and are taking

102
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 4: advantage of it. That Hey, that's that's how you raise

103
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: lots of money, and that's how you stay in power,

104
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: and that's how.

105
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: You become well mowned.

106
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: And he actually said one time, if you're not on TV,

107
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: you're not If you're not getting on TV every day,

108
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 4: you're not governing.

109
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: That's what he actually said. And that's their their belief.

110
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 4: And if you say crazy stuff, you get on uh,

111
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 4: you get on the cable news a lot.

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: And everyone knows it. And like, have you noticed, over the.

113
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: Next couple of weeks, it's striking to me, like they'll

114
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: have some senator on I've never heard the name before.

115
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: I've never seen their face before. They're a US flipp

116
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 4: and senator, but they're the kind of people that are

117
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: like in a room with the door closed, studying policy,

118
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: writing legislation.

119
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 2: They're not figuring out how to get on television, right, right, whatever.

120
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 4: I guess that's where we are. Many many reasons empires die. Okay,

121
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: so it's just one of them.

122
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: So is there?

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: I mean, because all that stuff is true about the

124
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 4: Justice Department and h law fair and using it as

125
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: a weapon, but you can pick different people to go

126
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: after it and try to clean it up. What do

127
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 4: you think he has any chance of getting confirmed? All

128
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: the Democrats will vote against him. I assume Matt Gates

129
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: is attorney general and you can only lose what three Republicans?

130
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: There are already two or three on the record saying no,

131
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: and probably a dozen more that would like to say no.

132
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: Here's your wacky but unlikely scenario. A dozen Democrats conspire

133
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 4: and across the island vote yes, thinking this will be

134
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: a poop show that's pretty good, and you force them

135
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of Republicans to vote no if they

136
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: want to keep him from being Attorney general and making

137
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: that the only story anybody talks about for the first

138
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: until it.

139
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: All blows up. Yeah.

140
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, very little or none of which has anything to

141
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: do with the well being of the American people.

142
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: Of course, I don't know.

143
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: Do you think he did the stuff he was accused

144
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: of with the girl, the underage girl and all that

145
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: sort of stuff, because they did they do you think

146
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: he did it? So they stopped the investigation, but they

147
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: were still investigating on some level, I guess. And that

148
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: report was supposed to come out Friday, according to Republicans

149
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: who ran to news sources yesterday, The New York Times

150
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: and multiple other news organizations reported that because the Republicans

151
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: who hate Matt Gates, who which are practically everybody by

152
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: the way, in the House and the Senate, almost all

153
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: the Republicans hate him, So they all ran the new

154
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: sources and say, hey, there's a big report coming out Friday,

155
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: and that was going to doom him. Yeah, and like

156
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 4: you said, do you think it will leak? That's what

157
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: they're saying, Fox and Friends. Some Republican who hates him

158
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: on that committee is going to.

159
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: Leak that out. So we'll hear all that stuff.

160
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of things There are a number of

161
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: reasons an investigative agency decides not to prosecute something. Often

162
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: it's uncooperative witnesses or wishy washy evidence or that sort

163
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: of thing.

164
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: And that's fine. That's the way justice system works.

165
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 4: You shouldn't feel the pain of punishment unless the government

166
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: could prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: I love that.

168
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 4: On the other hand, you got Mark Wayne Mullen, Senator Oklahoma,

169
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: who we really hit it off with at the RNC,

170
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: who came out and said, look, this guy is showing

171
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 4: videos of the girls he's having sex with on the

172
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: house for and everybody's like, stop that, get that out

173
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 4: of here. Mark Wayne, I think we have the audio

174
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: he's on the record stage. It was just completely wildly inappropriate.

175
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: And Mark Queen's a former MMA guy. I mean, he's

176
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: not like, you know, some sort of Oxford and Harvard

177
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 4: grad with a degree in holding your pinky out?

178
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: Will you sip tea? Or dude's a real man and

179
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: he was like, wow, that is way out of line.

180
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: Or Chuck Grassley one hundred years old from another generation.

181
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: Back where the woman now to wear pity coats. We

182
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: will play that later for you.

183
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: We got to start the show officially, and we got

184
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: lots of stuff to get to today. But eh, Trump

185
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: enjoys when people are having these conversations.

186
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: He just freaking loves it. Oh yeah or whatever. He's

187
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: tweaking them, and.

188
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 4: He knew exactly what he's doing. He rolled out all

189
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 4: those reasonable choices. And then and then Marco Rubio, super

190
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,239
Speaker 4: reasonable Secretary. And then we and lots of other people yesterday,

191
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: like the last Armor show, we're having the conversations about

192
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 4: this might be a completely different Trump term I said

193
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: this than last time around.

194
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: He's a honey, what hilarious?

195
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: And then you get Pete Hexeth surprising but intriguing.

196
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Toxi Gabbard.

197
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: Surprising but surprising, and then Matt Gates surprising. But come on,

198
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty.

199
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: On this Thursday, November fourteenth, year, twenty twenty four. We're

200
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: Armstrong and getting we approve of this program. Let's begin then,

201
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 4: officially according to FCC rules and regulations. So much to

202
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 4: dig into, let's dig into it.

203
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 5: At mark, the nomination of Gates rocked Capitol Hill. There

204
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 5: were verbal gasps during a meeting of House Republicans when

205
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: mister Trump announced Gates, how.

206
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: About that.

207
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 4: Wha to the Republicans? And then you go, what, oh

208
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: my got verbal audible gasps. That's hilarious. Wow, he loves

209
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. Oh golly, here we go.

210
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: Somebody secure that canon, troyd. It's loose.

211
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 4: I think I said this yesterday about the Defence secretary.

212
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 4: It's going to be even more true about Tulsa Gabbard

213
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: and Matt Gates.

214
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: You really want to spend all that.

215
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: Goodwill political capital with the media and and and all

216
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: the people in government and everything like that on this fight,

217
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: not something else. All right, all right again, hag Seth

218
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: long shot gathered silly Gates grenade.

219
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: How does mailbag look? That's quite good, very good. Let's

220
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: get to it.

221
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: That's on the way and you can test this your thoughts.

222
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: I'm sure many of you are thrilled with the choice.

223
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 4: Based on reading texts.

224
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: Over the years.

225
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: Text line is four one, five two nine five k FTC.

226
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 4: I'm sending a clique to Hanson, our executive producer. But

227
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 4: I watched Mark Alprin's sort of emergency video cast yesterday

228
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: with a bunch of uh political strategists, but he called

229
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 4: it one of the most jaw dropping days in the

230
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 4: ten year political history.

231
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: Of Donald Trump. And that is saying something, but it's

232
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: a true degree. Yeah, I would agree on both points. Yeah.

233
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's your Freedom Moving Quota Day in honor of

234
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 4: Vett Gates and the Department of Justice.

235
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: Our theme being the law.

236
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll go with this into next week either So,

237
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: I like some of these John.

238
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: Locke, the end of.

239
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: Law is not to abolish a restrain, meaning the end

240
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 4: that the purpose, the purpose of law is not to

241
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: abolish a restrain, but to preserve an enlarged freedom. For

242
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 4: in all states of created being capable of law. Where

243
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 4: there is no law, there is no freedom. Yeah, it

244
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: should be, isn't always right? What's the purpose of government?

245
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: What's the purpose of the constitution? Quick to preserve your liverty.

246
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: I can think of plenty of laws in California their

247
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 4: only mentory strain. Yeah, exactly, And that's where laws become

248
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: unjust and undesirable. Absolutely, that's your litmus test mail bag

249
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 4: rob us a old mail bag at Armstrong and get

250
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 4: it dot com, will lead off with Jared and Missouri's

251
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: commenting on our rage rooms discussion, guys rage against the machine.

252
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 4: Never specified what kind of machine they were angry at,

253
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: but I reckon it was probably a printer.

254
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, they're arranging against the printer. That's funny. All right,

255
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 2: here we go.

256
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 4: There's no piece of machinery or equipment that more people

257
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: have been angrier at than the printer, other than you know.

258
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: The computer in general, I think.

259
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 4: But all right, here we go, taking deep breath, we're

260
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: diving in JT and livermore. Wait what Democrats are criticizing

261
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 4: Trump's choices for leadership positions. They're claiming that some of

262
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: his choices don't have relevant experience. Dems, does the name

263
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris ring a bell? How about mayor Pete for

264
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 4: that matter, how about the name Joe Biden? You know

265
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: that's pretty good that we, including me, would say this.

266
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: Hegxef guy.

267
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: I mean, he's going to be running one of the

268
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: biggest bureaucracies in the world and does hea amity experience?

269
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: And we have hired a number of people that really

270
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: run the biggest bureaucracy in the world, the US freaking government,

271
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,359
Speaker 4: that have no experience running anything at all large or complicated.

272
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 4: Moving along, because it's a lot guys. Did Marjorie Taylor

273
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: Green take herself out of contention? There's no other way

274
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: that this boneheaded denomination could have happened.

275
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: How about this?

276
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: Trump is loyal to loyalists, but most of all, he

277
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 4: believes that gates legal problems were just like his political

278
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: law fair battles, unlike any AG appointments. Since JFK named

279
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: his brother RFK, and for the same reasons as a

280
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: bulwark against the FBI and the Justice Department. The typical

281
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 4: AG is an establishment type with Ivy League credentials.

282
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: In years of this Town connections, Trump's.

283
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 4: First term was one long battle with the Justice Department

284
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 4: enemies before election today to today. And of course Trump

285
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 4: has always had a sleazy lawyer as a fixer, Henry.

286
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: That's the best analysis I have heard anywhere. He's the

287
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: new Michael Cohen.

288
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: That is good.

289
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: I think about that all the time. With JFK naming

290
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 4: his brother RFK is the Attorney General. When a Republican

291
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: picks somebody, they know, well, it's a sycophant, acolyte toady.

292
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: But people on the left love that picture of JFK

293
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: and RFK, you know, in a room thinking together, why

294
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 4: is that like super cool that he named his brother

295
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: attorney general. But Trump picking somebody that's loyal to him

296
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: is just obviously rotten.

297
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: I don't guess. It's almost like they're.

298
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: Lying hypocrites who have no actual principles. They just pretend

299
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 4: to You don't get that. I just think that's it.

300
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: You get it. They have no principles. J. T. Wrights.

301
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: The Trump Show is truly a comedy.

302
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: Now we're watching the worst cabinet picks ever, sex with

303
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: underage girls, no problem, part time TV talk show host awesome.

304
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: Trump is an idiot who will destroy the economy with

305
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 4: his gross incombidence and senility.

306
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: Okay, different, that's just like your opinion, man Kevin.

307
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: Gents, While at first I was wholly skeptical of mister

308
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: hegg Seth running the Pentagon, I've since changed my mind generally,

309
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 4: As you guys mentioned yesterday, the Pentagon chief is a

310
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: political player, someone who's far, far removed from the actual

311
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: conditions on the ground. Having someone who's seen the issues

312
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: plaguing troops in modern times and up close could certainly

313
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: lead to some good changes. When was the last time

314
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: Lloyd Austin had to lace up his boots? And grab

315
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 4: or rock this century. I think this is how you

316
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: break the cycle. And I'm on board for Hegseeth.

317
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm way more.

318
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 4: Susceptible to being argued into a Hegzeth choice as being

319
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: good as a Matt Gates.

320
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,479
Speaker 2: I mean, they're not even in the same category.

321
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: And finally, this Elon Musk right Stan the first white

322
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: African American mail appointed to the new Department of Government Efficiency.

323
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 2: This is truly historic. Well played, and my boy, that's

324
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: really good. Love it. Drop us a note mail bag

325
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 2: at Armstrong In Geddi dot.

326
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: Com, we got some more reactions to one of the

327
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 4: bigger political days in a long time, and that's saying

328
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: something coming up if you miss it, gets podcast Armstrong

329
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 4: in Getty on the Man Armstrong and Getty, Well, Katie,

330
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 4: I've gotten two different texts from different people at the

331
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: Justice Department who just use the word insane.

332
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 5: To respond and react to this potential appointment.

333
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: Heads are also exploding at the Justice Department because this

334
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: goes against the kind of candidate Republican or Democrat the

335
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: DOJ sees as an appropriate candidate. And this is making

336
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: everyone's head explode right now.

337
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: We're all watching it on the models in real time,

338
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 4: and I'm sure I'll have.

339
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 5: A lot more opinions on that President Trump is going

340
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 5: to hit the Justice Department the blowtorch, and Matt Gates

341
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: is that torch.

342
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: So that's from Sean Hannity, a montage of people on

343
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: the mainstream media and on the avowed left shocked and

344
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 4: appalled at Matt Gates being nominated as the attorney general

345
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: pick from Donald Trump.

346
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: But to be they woke up shocked and appalled.

347
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 4: As far as I'm to be fair, there are as many,

348
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 4: maybe more shocked than appalled, people that are Republicans in

349
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 4: government feeling exactly the same way, some of them saying

350
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 4: out loud, a lot of them not yet. So it's

351
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 4: not just a lefty thing. It's not just a thumb

352
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: on the eye of the Libs. It's the thumb of

353
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 4: the eye of everyone, which I'm about to get to

354
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 4: in a second. I had another point on that Ben

355
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 4: Gates and name him and I'm just people going crazy.

356
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 4: And then while this, while all this stuff was being

357
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 4: said on MSNBC and CNN and ABC and CBS and

358
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 4: NBC on Fox, they were like making it like the

359
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 4: fourth story of the day, because I think they weren't

360
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: sure to handle it. Oh yeah, I'm sure the brass

361
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 4: was having what the effort we was supposed to say

362
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 4: about this meeting to you know, issue the orders down

363
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 4: to their their hosts. Maybe I'll do this first and

364
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: then we'll hear from Senator Mullins with some comment last

365
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 4: year about Matt Gates. This is from Mark Hauprin's newsletter.

366
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 4: H you know, because this is me talking before I

367
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 4: read from his newsletter.

368
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: Trump is.

369
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: Crazy like a fox and crazy. He's both. So he's

370
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 4: crazy like a fox and crazy. And I was thinking

371
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: it was his first crazy, just crazy, his second crazy

372
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 4: just crazy, But could be the crazy like a fox,

373
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 4: because Mark Alprin writes that you wouldn't have to visit

374
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 4: any more than three booths at the Capitol Grill to

375
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: hear it be said that team Trump has no intention

376
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: of actually getting Gates confirmed. That he has thrown Gates

377
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 4: out there to be the sacrificial lamb of the confirmation

378
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 4: gods so he can go down in flames, and so

379
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 4: that others might garner fifty votes and take up their

380
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 4: cabinet positions. Because there's usually only like enough momentum attention

381
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: everything else to like really battle one person and then

382
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 4: the other people get through, and that Gates might beat. Okay,

383
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 4: you know, blow up your capital on this and all

384
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 4: your ink or however you want to look at it

385
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 4: to tweet and then get my other people through.

386
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: Possible. Right.

387
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: I have heard that described through the years as a strategy, and.

388
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: It could be.

389
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 4: If that is the idea, then you've got to approach

390
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: it completely differently. You got to think, Okay, never, he

391
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 4: wasn't serious about Gates being the ag So I'm not

392
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: going to criticize the pick. Taking it seriously, I'm not

393
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: going to waste your time or mine. If I'm convinced

394
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 4: that that was the strategy. I'm not entirely convinced yet.

395
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 4: I'm not convinced yet either. Possible though that you know,

396
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 4: he's doing a solid for Gates, who you know, forced

397
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 4: McCarthy out as speaker, which Trump wanted, and Trump's doing him,

398
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 4: you know, a favor back. Gates resigned immediately from the House,

399
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 4: stopping this ethics report that comes out tomorrow because you

400
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 4: can't release You're not supposed to release a report on

401
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: a guy who's no longer a member. I mean, what's

402
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 4: the point again? Join me in praying it doesn't leak.

403
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 4: You'd hate to see something leak in Washington TC, especially

404
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: if it's got lurid sexual details about somebody I don't

405
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 4: even like.

406
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: That would be the.

407
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 4: Worst Casey Christmas. That's funny, but you can probably order

408
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: it in hardcover. But if Gates had resigned otherwise to

409
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 4: avoid this, I mean, then it's just one hundred percent.

410
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: It looks awful.

411
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 4: But if you're resigning because well, I'm the Attorney General nominee,

412
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 4: now I can't be busy in the house, I tell

413
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: you what. Why don't we play a little audio from

414
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 4: last year? Mark Wayne Mullen, who we hit it off with.

415
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 4: He's a senator from Oklahoma. He's a plumbing contractor, an

416
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: amateur MMA fighter, a family man. Just I love him

417
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 4: in the Senate. Absolutely, He's one of my favorite people

418
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: in government. And he's also a good and decent human being.

419
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 4: And he said this about Matt Gates.

420
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 6: You got a thing about this guy. This is a

421
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 6: guy that didn't have the media didn't give a time

422
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 6: a day to after he was accused of sleeping with

423
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 6: an underage girl. And there's a reason why no one

424
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 6: and the conference came defendit him because we had all

425
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 6: seen the videos he was showing on the house floor

426
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 6: that all of us had walked away, of the girls

427
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 6: that he had slept with. He'd brag about how he

428
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 6: would crush ed medicine and chase it with with an

429
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 6: energy drink so he could go all night. This is

430
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 6: obviously before he got married, and so when that accusation

431
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 6: came out, no one definded him, and then no one

432
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 6: on the media would give him the time of the day.

433
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, he found fame because he opposed

434
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 6: the speaker of the house back in November, and he's

435
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 6: always stayed there and he was never going to leave

436
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 6: until he got this last moment of fame by saying bye,

437
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 6: by going after a motion to vacate.

438
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: So it's funny Matt Gets doesn't look like the kind

439
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: of guy that has wild sex parties. No, wait, he

440
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: does look exactly like that kind of guy. Yeah, I

441
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 4: wonder if he and Diddy were part of a chat

442
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: group on Well that's a little over the top, I

443
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 4: was little okay, granted.

444
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: That's a little much for me.

445
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: Please, I'd like to distance myself from the comments of

446
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 4: the gentleman from Illinois.

447
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,160

00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,639

Speaker 2: Okay, my answer to you is Rosa Parks.

467
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,560

468
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 4: ordered to the back of the bus, but they wanted

469
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: the perfect plaintiff. They wanted a woman so above suspicion,

470
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 4: so decent and honorable, that she was the perfect plaintiff

471
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 4: to bring the history making civil rights case. You want

472
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 4: somebody to go in and whoop ass on the corruption

473
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: in the DOJ. You can't pick a scumbag. You gotta

474
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 4: pick a white night, no racial connotation intended. You got

475
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 4: to pick somebody pure of heart and soul. Who's gonna

476
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: go in there and whoop ass. And the minute somebody

477
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 4: questions his motivations, you say, are you kidding me?

478
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: You're saying that about this person. This person is beyond reproach.

479
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 2: That's who you.

480
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 4: Need, right, So, I mean, because so I sympathize with

481
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: your your resentment of the DOJ in the intelligent community

482
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. Telsea Gabbard falls into the same

483
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: you know, you know parentheses, but you gotta have somebody

484
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 4: above reproach. Yeah, the federalist, Oh, I often agree with it,

485
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 4: but not always put out a statement, we need to

486
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 4: take a wrecking ball to the dog DOJ.

487
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: Matt Gates is just the man for the job. First

488
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: sentence harm.

489
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 4: Percent correct, second sentence arm percent wrong. Just for the

490
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: reasons you explain, Yeah, you need like the perfect with

491
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 4: the person with no baggage, and you can't go after

492
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: and discredit in any way to take this on and

493
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: man that this is the last guy for that. A

494
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: tweet that was making the round yesterday. It's pretty funny

495
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 4: from radio host Michael Smart kanish I suspect Christy Nolan

496
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 4: was thrilled, thrilled when Pete Hegseeth was selected, and now

497
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: Pete Hegseeth is thrilled to have Matt Gates, and Matt

498
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 4: Gates can't wait for Robert F.

499
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 2: Kennedy to be named. Yeah, yeah, I get that.

500
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: To your point earlier about who's going to be the

501
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 4: number one sacrificial lamb. Wow, I was up until yesterday

502
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 4: thinking no chance RFK Junior gets an actual cabinet position.

503
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 4: I'm thinking no, probably a coin flip. Maybe he does,

504
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: or at least nominated. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House,

505
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 4: a very bright and reasonable guy clip forty two.

506
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 7: Everyone who served with him, we'll say he's one of

507
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 7: the most intelligent members of Congress. He's an accomplished attorney.

508
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 7: He's very concerned about the lawfair that has been occurring

509
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 7: in the Department of Justice under the Biden administration.

510
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: Wow. I didn't hear that for Mike Johnson yesterday, even.

511
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: Had Lindsey Graham, who you claimed hates Gates, said this

512
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 4: in forty five.

513
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 8: He deserves a chance to pick his cabinet. I am

514
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 8: predisposed to allow him to do that. I think Matt

515
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 8: Matt Gates is very bright. I think he's qualified. He'll

516
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 8: have a hearing and he'll have some tough questions to answer.

517
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 8: But to every Republican, please follow a process to give

518
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 8: President Trump the ability to pick the people he thinks

519
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 8: can do the job.

520
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 4: Mark Fieson of the Washington Post, conservative columnist who I

521
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 4: often agree with, gates announcement is a huge unforced error.

522
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 4: Putting aside the fact that he's disastrously unfit for the job.

523
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: I can't imagine can be confirmed. Well McConnell, Collins, and

524
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: Murkowski vote for him.

525
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: I doubt it.

526
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 4: That's down to fifty, which means just one more Republican

527
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 4: vote no, and he loses many to choose from. And

528
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: this recess appointment gambit is deeply troubling. As someone who

529
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: wants Trump to succeed, this is not the way to

530
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: do it, writes Mark Fieson in the Washington Post.

531
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: Why pick a.

532
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 4: Fight with the Senate that could backfire over Gates, especially

533
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: when there are so many great conservative lawyers who have

534
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 4: been fighting for him and would be easily confirmed to

535
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 4: do a great job.

536
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.

537
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have the list at my disposal, but

538
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: some of the guys, some of the brilliant constitutional lawyers

539
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 4: who've been on Trump's side fighting the law there, they

540
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 4: could get in there and again put a whooping to ours.

541
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

542
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 4: So there's almost a guaranteed three no's which gets you

543
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 4: to fifty. You can't lose one more. God, I think

544
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: your trolling idea if I'm a Democrat is fantastic. You

545
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: take a couple of Democratic senators may come out and

546
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 4: make it clear to their constituents. I'm just doing this

547
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 4: to put the Republicans in spot and then you got

548
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 4: to get other Republicans come out and vote. Know. Oh

549
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 4: and another thing about this, the background check for Attorney

550
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 4: general is super detailed, thorough and deep, but not like

551
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: not like anything he has ever been through before.

552
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: Oh so that alone could be damned interesting. We're going

553
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: to learn all about his sex life. We're going to

554
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: learn all about his life. I don't don't want to

555
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: know about his sex life. I kind of kind of do.

556
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know now if it's high school girls,

557
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: I don't want.

558
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 5: To know that.

559
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 4: Can I opt out? Finally, I want to run this

560
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: because I love Trey Gouty. Trump fans love Treyouty. How

561
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 4: do you not love Trey Gouty?

562
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: Forty four, the haircut.

563
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: H well personality resigned from the House. They were getting

564
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: ready to drop a scathing report on him. You know,

565
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 3: House Ethics Committee had been investigating him for a long

566
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: time for a lot of things. But I'm sure these

567
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: senators are going to give him a chance. You're gonna

568
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: want to read that ethics report. They're gonna want to

569
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: read the investigative file that the FBI and d OJ

570
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 3: accumulated on him when he was under investigation for sexual

571
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: related crimes. So they're gonna want to know all of that.

572
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: I give the present tremendous credit. John Ratcliffe, Mike Wallas,

573
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: others absolute A plus picks. The more you get to

574
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: know Hexith and Tulsea Gabbert, the more you're gonna like her.

575
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: The more you get to know Matt Gates, the less

576
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna like him. I'm gonna be really surprised if

577
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: he can get confirmed.

578
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 4: That fits in with the Gates as a sacrificial lamb theory. Yes,

579
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 4: Telsea Gabbert, you might want to remember when Trump killed Solomanee,

580
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 4: the Iranian thug. She came out and said there was

581
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 4: no justification whatsoever for the US government to kill Solomane.

582
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: She's going to be the DNI director if she gets confirmed.

583
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 4: She is shockingly soft on Putin and Bashar al asade

584
00:30:59,400 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: In Si.

585
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, interesting worldview.

586
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 4: We've got a lot more to talk about today, including

587
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 4: there's another soccer match between Israel and a European country

588
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 4: and they're bringing out the security for that. It's quite

589
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: the story. We've got Katie's headlines on the way a

590
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: little bit stay here, Hetty. Quite Game of Thrones level,

591
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 4: like nobody's going to get their head chopped off or

592
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 4: anything like that.

593
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: But some of this is this on purpose?

594
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 4: Is this the old sy up switcheroo double back five

595
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 4: dimensional chess thing that Trump is doing? Is kind of

596
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 4: interesting to follow, and I'm not exactly sure which it is,

597
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 4: But more on that a little bit later, Yeah, Or

598
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: is it just floundering it's hard to tell. Keeps it interesting,

599
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 4: for sure. So much to get to today, Let's get

600
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 4: to this who's reporting what? It's the lead story with

601
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 4: Katie Green. Katie starting with The New York Times. Republicans

602
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: win control of the House, cementing a GOP trifecta under Trump.

603
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: You know, I heard somebody on the left make this point,

604
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 4: and I thought, you know, that's pretty true. For a

605
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: giant wave election, securing the House by like two seats

606
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 4: is not much of a wave. That's a decent point.

607
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: I mean, Trump, you look at the map, huge win,

608
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, all that sort of stuff, taken back

609
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,239
Speaker 4: the Senate. But yeah, usually a wave election, you got

610
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: a good, solid cushion in the House, and they're gonna

611
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: have just a handful of seats, especially after Trump has

612
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: picked out a couple of Republicans for cabinet positions, and

613
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 4: those seats might be in risk. Now is the time,

614
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 4: and I could go on for some length on this,

615
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 4: but I won't hear. Now is the time for moderate

616
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 4: Democrats to reinsert themselves and reinvent your party and get

617
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 4: away from the woke lunatics, because there's plenty we can

618
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 4: get done across the aisle because y'all are perfectly reasonable

619
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 4: people and we know it.

620
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: Shake off the lunatics.

621
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 9: From ABC News, New La DA speaks out on Menendez

622
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 9: brothers fight for freedom.

623
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,720
