Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 2: And Joe Katty Armstrong and get.
Speaker 3: Katie and he.
Speaker 2: Arms angy who the wrong studio? See say I'll on
Speaker 2: little Friday.
Speaker 4: We're in a dimly lit roong deeper than the bowels
Speaker 4: of the Armstrong Eddy Communications Compound. And hey y'all, today
Speaker 4: we're under the tutelage of our general.
Speaker 2: Manager, Matt Gates. Matt Gates that cakes got it the hair, that's.
Speaker 4: Him and that's a useful girlfriend. Allegedly, they dropped those charges.
Speaker 4: According to multiple news sources. We were gonna hear a
Speaker 4: whole bout more about those charges on Friday, and still
Speaker 4: might any who.
Speaker 2: Here's why.
Speaker 4: I hope nobody leaks it. Here's my question. I was
Speaker 4: just talking to Hanson about this. I talked about it
Speaker 4: with my son yesterday afternoon and I picked him up
Speaker 4: from school as the news was breaking. The question is why?
Speaker 4: The why is the question? Why does Trump do this?
Speaker 4: And I think I and it seemed this way his.
Speaker 2: Whole life, I guess.
Speaker 4: But he feels comfortable when things are going crazy. That's
Speaker 4: his that's his happy place. Most of us like me.
Speaker 4: I hate drama. God, I hate drama. I do anything
Speaker 4: to have a placid life without drama. But some people
Speaker 4: thrive on it, and he is like the all time
Speaker 4: king of I think when he flipped on all the
Speaker 4: TV stations over the last week and it was all
Speaker 4: kind of moderate, he won and kind of quiet and
Speaker 4: another reasonable choice for Donald Trump boring.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm dying inside.
Speaker 4: But when he flipped on all the channels yesterday and
Speaker 4: everybody's heads are exploding, Oh, a sense of relief, a
Speaker 4: practically orgasmic level of happiness overcomes him. I think, right,
Speaker 4: you know, I think that that's not wrong. I would
Speaker 4: take another look or look at the other side of
Speaker 4: the coin. He's also a guy who in the in
Speaker 4: you know, developing many many interesting real estate projects through
Speaker 4: the years, has a number of bankruptcies, and that people
Speaker 4: made a big deal of that.
Speaker 2: Although that's not that crazy.
Speaker 4: If you're a developer, you start corporations to develop a
Speaker 4: certain project, and then some of them were like shots
Speaker 4: for the moon, big big plays, bold plays, and some
Speaker 4: of them didn't work out and went bankrupt.
Speaker 2: And Trump's used to that. So the idea of I'm
Speaker 2: in I'm gonna go with one.
Speaker 4: Of the more defensible plays here, the Hegsith Department of Defense.
Speaker 4: He thought, you know what, with all the instability in
Speaker 4: the world, our pentagon is incredibly hide bound and bloated
Speaker 4: and slow moving and unresponsive, Let's make a big play
Speaker 4: and if it goes to hell, we'll pick up the pieces.
Speaker 4: There's somebody else will. I think he's comfortable with that
Speaker 4: sort of chaos for sure.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Fox News has been handling this since it broke yesterday afternoon,
Speaker 4: including this morning on Fox and Friends with It's kind
Speaker 4: of the third story of the day. The biggest story
Speaker 4: of the day is Trump and Biden met in the
Speaker 4: Oval office. Here they are in front of the fire,
Speaker 4: and they said nice things about it. In other news,
Speaker 4: he named Matt Gaetz's attorney general. Also, Donald Trump is
Speaker 4: planning to uh speak with the leader of Taiwan this afternoon.
Speaker 4: I mean, are you freaking kidding me? Are you freaking kidding?
Speaker 2: Who are you?
Speaker 4: Try playing it, doll, I guess because they don't know
Speaker 4: what else to say.
Speaker 2: So there.
Speaker 4: I haven't heard a single positive comment out of a Republican.
Speaker 4: The best you can do is kind of a neutral
Speaker 4: ish like Lindsey Graham, who hates Matt Gates, saying, well,
Speaker 4: we'll go through the process and we'll see how it
Speaker 4: plays out. That's the best result you can get from
Speaker 4: a Republican. Other Republicans are are you effing kidding me?
Speaker 4: Or not a chance in hell? I vote for him?
Speaker 4: Or a orful a variety of both kinds of comments,
Speaker 4: right right, Yeah, from his own party. Yeah, I've been
Speaker 4: thinking about this a lot, and I don't know how
Speaker 4: in depth we want to get during this segment, but
Speaker 4: I get the pick. And I'm not saying I think
Speaker 4: it's an awful pick. I think it's a ridiculous pick,
Speaker 4: but I get it given. And here's the short version.
Speaker 4: Given the way the FBI especially, but the intelligence community, Hello,
Speaker 4: Ga treated Trump the Russia Gate of hoax page in Strock.
Speaker 4: Call me, please call me leaking like I don't have
Speaker 4: a good metaphor what leaks a lot like a hundred
Speaker 4: year old robot leaky things in short, anyway, Yeah, Trump
Speaker 4: wants to go in there with somebody who just does
Speaker 4: not give a single poop about tradition and the agency
Speaker 4: and blah blah blah. He just he wants a wrecking
Speaker 4: ball well, fine, pick a better wrecking ball. I have
Speaker 4: no time for any of the people in our government
Speaker 4: who are only there to get attention. The AOC's, the
Speaker 4: Adams Shifts, the Marjorie Taylor Greens, or the Matt Gateses,
Speaker 4: none of them who are just all they do is
Speaker 4: try to get on television. They have no interest in
Speaker 4: actually governing or doing anything. I have no time for
Speaker 4: those people. The Instagram caucus. Yeah, Matt Gates is a
Speaker 4: famous I guess he understands the modern world. They understand
Speaker 4: the modern world better than I do and are taking
Speaker 4: advantage of it. That Hey, that's that's how you raise
Speaker 4: lots of money, and that's how you stay in power,
Speaker 4: and that's how.
Speaker 2: You become well mowned.
Speaker 4: And he actually said one time, if you're not on TV,
Speaker 4: you're not If you're not getting on TV every day,
Speaker 4: you're not governing.
Speaker 2: That's what he actually said. And that's their their belief.
Speaker 4: And if you say crazy stuff, you get on uh,
Speaker 4: you get on the cable news a lot.
Speaker 2: And everyone knows it. And like, have you noticed, over the.
Speaker 4: Next couple of weeks, it's striking to me, like they'll
Speaker 4: have some senator on I've never heard the name before.
Speaker 4: I've never seen their face before. They're a US flipp
Speaker 4: and senator, but they're the kind of people that are
Speaker 4: like in a room with the door closed, studying policy,
Speaker 4: writing legislation.
Speaker 2: They're not figuring out how to get on television, right, right, whatever.
Speaker 4: I guess that's where we are. Many many reasons empires die. Okay,
Speaker 4: so it's just one of them.
Speaker 2: So is there?
Speaker 4: I mean, because all that stuff is true about the
Speaker 4: Justice Department and h law fair and using it as
Speaker 4: a weapon, but you can pick different people to go
Speaker 4: after it and try to clean it up. What do
Speaker 4: you think he has any chance of getting confirmed? All
Speaker 4: the Democrats will vote against him. I assume Matt Gates
Speaker 4: is attorney general and you can only lose what three Republicans?
Speaker 4: There are already two or three on the record saying no,
Speaker 4: and probably a dozen more that would like to say no.
Speaker 4: Here's your wacky but unlikely scenario. A dozen Democrats conspire
Speaker 4: and across the island vote yes, thinking this will be
Speaker 4: a poop show that's pretty good, and you force them
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of Republicans to vote no if they
Speaker 4: want to keep him from being Attorney general and making
Speaker 4: that the only story anybody talks about for the first
Speaker 4: until it.
Speaker 2: All blows up. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very little or none of which has anything to
Speaker 4: do with the well being of the American people.
Speaker 2: Of course, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Do you think he did the stuff he was accused
Speaker 4: of with the girl, the underage girl and all that
Speaker 4: sort of stuff, because they did they do you think
Speaker 4: he did it? So they stopped the investigation, but they
Speaker 4: were still investigating on some level, I guess. And that
Speaker 4: report was supposed to come out Friday, according to Republicans
Speaker 4: who ran to news sources yesterday, The New York Times
Speaker 4: and multiple other news organizations reported that because the Republicans
Speaker 4: who hate Matt Gates, who which are practically everybody by
Speaker 4: the way, in the House and the Senate, almost all
Speaker 4: the Republicans hate him, So they all ran the new
Speaker 4: sources and say, hey, there's a big report coming out Friday,
Speaker 4: and that was going to doom him. Yeah, and like
Speaker 4: you said, do you think it will leak? That's what
Speaker 4: they're saying, Fox and Friends. Some Republican who hates him
Speaker 4: on that committee is going to.
Speaker 2: Leak that out. So we'll hear all that stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of things There are a number of
Speaker 4: reasons an investigative agency decides not to prosecute something. Often
Speaker 4: it's uncooperative witnesses or wishy washy evidence or that sort
Speaker 4: of thing.
Speaker 2: And that's fine. That's the way justice system works.
Speaker 4: You shouldn't feel the pain of punishment unless the government
Speaker 4: could prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 4: On the other hand, you got Mark Wayne Mullen, Senator Oklahoma,
Speaker 4: who we really hit it off with at the RNC,
Speaker 4: who came out and said, look, this guy is showing
Speaker 4: videos of the girls he's having sex with on the
Speaker 4: house for and everybody's like, stop that, get that out
Speaker 4: of here. Mark Wayne, I think we have the audio
Speaker 4: he's on the record stage. It was just completely wildly inappropriate.
Speaker 4: And Mark Queen's a former MMA guy. I mean, he's
Speaker 4: not like, you know, some sort of Oxford and Harvard
Speaker 4: grad with a degree in holding your pinky out?
Speaker 2: Will you sip tea? Or dude's a real man and
Speaker 2: he was like, wow, that is way out of line.
Speaker 4: Or Chuck Grassley one hundred years old from another generation.
Speaker 2: Back where the woman now to wear pity coats. We
Speaker 2: will play that later for you.
Speaker 4: We got to start the show officially, and we got
Speaker 4: lots of stuff to get to today. But eh, Trump
Speaker 4: enjoys when people are having these conversations.
Speaker 2: He just freaking loves it. Oh yeah or whatever. He's
Speaker 2: tweaking them, and.
Speaker 4: He knew exactly what he's doing. He rolled out all
Speaker 4: those reasonable choices. And then and then Marco Rubio, super
Speaker 4: reasonable Secretary. And then we and lots of other people yesterday,
Speaker 4: like the last Armor show, we're having the conversations about
Speaker 4: this might be a completely different Trump term I said
Speaker 4: this than last time around.
Speaker 2: He's a honey, what hilarious?
Speaker 4: And then you get Pete Hexeth surprising but intriguing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Toxi Gabbard.
Speaker 4: Surprising but surprising, and then Matt Gates surprising. But come on,
Speaker 4: let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty.
Speaker 4: On this Thursday, November fourteenth, year, twenty twenty four. We're
Speaker 4: Armstrong and getting we approve of this program. Let's begin then,
Speaker 4: officially according to FCC rules and regulations. So much to
Speaker 4: dig into, let's dig into it.
Speaker 5: At mark, the nomination of Gates rocked Capitol Hill. There
Speaker 5: were verbal gasps during a meeting of House Republicans when
Speaker 5: mister Trump announced Gates, how.
Speaker 2: About that.
Speaker 4: Wha to the Republicans? And then you go, what, oh
Speaker 4: my got verbal audible gasps. That's hilarious. Wow, he loves
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. Oh golly, here we go.
Speaker 2: Somebody secure that canon, troyd. It's loose.
Speaker 4: I think I said this yesterday about the Defence secretary.
Speaker 4: It's going to be even more true about Tulsa Gabbard
Speaker 4: and Matt Gates.
Speaker 2: You really want to spend all that.
Speaker 4: Goodwill political capital with the media and and and all
Speaker 4: the people in government and everything like that on this fight,
Speaker 4: not something else. All right, all right again, hag Seth
Speaker 4: long shot gathered silly Gates grenade.
Speaker 2: How does mailbag look? That's quite good, very good. Let's
Speaker 2: get to it.
Speaker 4: That's on the way and you can test this your thoughts.
Speaker 4: I'm sure many of you are thrilled with the choice.
Speaker 4: Based on reading texts.
Speaker 2: Over the years.
Speaker 4: Text line is four one, five two nine five k FTC.
Speaker 4: I'm sending a clique to Hanson, our executive producer. But
Speaker 4: I watched Mark Alprin's sort of emergency video cast yesterday
Speaker 4: with a bunch of uh political strategists, but he called
Speaker 4: it one of the most jaw dropping days in the
Speaker 4: ten year political history.
Speaker 2: Of Donald Trump. And that is saying something, but it's
Speaker 2: a true degree. Yeah, I would agree on both points. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's your Freedom Moving Quota Day in honor of
Speaker 4: Vett Gates and the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2: Our theme being the law.
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll go with this into next week either So,
Speaker 4: I like some of these John.
Speaker 2: Locke, the end of.
Speaker 4: Law is not to abolish a restrain, meaning the end
Speaker 4: that the purpose, the purpose of law is not to
Speaker 4: abolish a restrain, but to preserve an enlarged freedom. For
Speaker 4: in all states of created being capable of law. Where
Speaker 4: there is no law, there is no freedom. Yeah, it
Speaker 4: should be, isn't always right? What's the purpose of government?
Speaker 4: What's the purpose of the constitution? Quick to preserve your liverty.
Speaker 4: I can think of plenty of laws in California their
Speaker 4: only mentory strain. Yeah, exactly, And that's where laws become
Speaker 4: unjust and undesirable. Absolutely, that's your litmus test mail bag
Speaker 4: rob us a old mail bag at Armstrong and get
Speaker 4: it dot com, will lead off with Jared and Missouri's
Speaker 4: commenting on our rage rooms discussion, guys rage against the machine.
Speaker 4: Never specified what kind of machine they were angry at,
Speaker 4: but I reckon it was probably a printer.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, they're arranging against the printer. That's funny. All right,
Speaker 2: here we go.
Speaker 4: There's no piece of machinery or equipment that more people
Speaker 4: have been angrier at than the printer, other than you know.
Speaker 2: The computer in general, I think.
Speaker 4: But all right, here we go, taking deep breath, we're
Speaker 4: diving in JT and livermore. Wait what Democrats are criticizing
Speaker 4: Trump's choices for leadership positions. They're claiming that some of
Speaker 4: his choices don't have relevant experience. Dems, does the name
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris ring a bell? How about mayor Pete for
Speaker 4: that matter, how about the name Joe Biden? You know
Speaker 4: that's pretty good that we, including me, would say this.
Speaker 2: Hegxef guy.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's going to be running one of the
Speaker 4: biggest bureaucracies in the world and does hea amity experience?
Speaker 4: And we have hired a number of people that really
Speaker 4: run the biggest bureaucracy in the world, the US freaking government,
Speaker 4: that have no experience running anything at all large or complicated.
Speaker 4: Moving along, because it's a lot guys. Did Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 4: Green take herself out of contention? There's no other way
Speaker 4: that this boneheaded denomination could have happened.
Speaker 2: How about this?
Speaker 4: Trump is loyal to loyalists, but most of all, he
Speaker 4: believes that gates legal problems were just like his political
Speaker 4: law fair battles, unlike any AG appointments. Since JFK named
Speaker 4: his brother RFK, and for the same reasons as a
Speaker 4: bulwark against the FBI and the Justice Department. The typical
Speaker 4: AG is an establishment type with Ivy League credentials.
Speaker 2: In years of this Town connections, Trump's.
Speaker 4: First term was one long battle with the Justice Department
Speaker 4: enemies before election today to today. And of course Trump
Speaker 4: has always had a sleazy lawyer as a fixer, Henry.
Speaker 4: That's the best analysis I have heard anywhere. He's the
Speaker 4: new Michael Cohen.
Speaker 2: That is good.
Speaker 4: I think about that all the time. With JFK naming
Speaker 4: his brother RFK is the Attorney General. When a Republican
Speaker 4: picks somebody, they know, well, it's a sycophant, acolyte toady.
Speaker 4: But people on the left love that picture of JFK
Speaker 4: and RFK, you know, in a room thinking together, why
Speaker 4: is that like super cool that he named his brother
Speaker 4: attorney general. But Trump picking somebody that's loyal to him
Speaker 4: is just obviously rotten.
Speaker 2: I don't guess. It's almost like they're.
Speaker 4: Lying hypocrites who have no actual principles. They just pretend
Speaker 4: to You don't get that. I just think that's it.
Speaker 2: You get it. They have no principles. J. T. Wrights.
Speaker 2: The Trump Show is truly a comedy.
Speaker 4: Now we're watching the worst cabinet picks ever, sex with
Speaker 4: underage girls, no problem, part time TV talk show host awesome.
Speaker 4: Trump is an idiot who will destroy the economy with
Speaker 4: his gross incombidence and senility.
Speaker 2: Okay, different, that's just like your opinion, man Kevin.
Speaker 4: Gents, While at first I was wholly skeptical of mister
Speaker 4: hegg Seth running the Pentagon, I've since changed my mind generally,
Speaker 4: As you guys mentioned yesterday, the Pentagon chief is a
Speaker 4: political player, someone who's far, far removed from the actual
Speaker 4: conditions on the ground. Having someone who's seen the issues
Speaker 4: plaguing troops in modern times and up close could certainly
Speaker 4: lead to some good changes. When was the last time
Speaker 4: Lloyd Austin had to lace up his boots? And grab
Speaker 4: or rock this century. I think this is how you
Speaker 4: break the cycle. And I'm on board for Hegseeth.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm way more.
Speaker 4: Susceptible to being argued into a Hegzeth choice as being
Speaker 4: good as a Matt Gates.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're not even in the same category.
Speaker 4: And finally, this Elon Musk right Stan the first white
Speaker 4: African American mail appointed to the new Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 2: This is truly historic. Well played, and my boy, that's
Speaker 2: really good. Love it. Drop us a note mail bag
Speaker 2: at Armstrong In Geddi dot.
Speaker 4: Com, we got some more reactions to one of the
Speaker 4: bigger political days in a long time, and that's saying
Speaker 4: something coming up if you miss it, gets podcast Armstrong
Speaker 4: in Getty on the Man Armstrong and Getty, Well, Katie,
Speaker 4: I've gotten two different texts from different people at the
Speaker 4: Justice Department who just use the word insane.
Speaker 5: To respond and react to this potential appointment.
Speaker 1: Heads are also exploding at the Justice Department because this
Speaker 1: goes against the kind of candidate Republican or Democrat the
Speaker 1: DOJ sees as an appropriate candidate. And this is making
Speaker 1: everyone's head explode right now.
Speaker 4: We're all watching it on the models in real time,
Speaker 4: and I'm sure I'll have.
Speaker 5: A lot more opinions on that President Trump is going
Speaker 5: to hit the Justice Department the blowtorch, and Matt Gates
Speaker 5: is that torch.
Speaker 4: So that's from Sean Hannity, a montage of people on
Speaker 4: the mainstream media and on the avowed left shocked and
Speaker 4: appalled at Matt Gates being nominated as the attorney general
Speaker 4: pick from Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: But to be they woke up shocked and appalled.
Speaker 4: As far as I'm to be fair, there are as many,
Speaker 4: maybe more shocked than appalled, people that are Republicans in
Speaker 4: government feeling exactly the same way, some of them saying
Speaker 4: out loud, a lot of them not yet. So it's
Speaker 4: not just a lefty thing. It's not just a thumb
Speaker 4: on the eye of the Libs. It's the thumb of
Speaker 4: the eye of everyone, which I'm about to get to
Speaker 4: in a second. I had another point on that Ben
Speaker 4: Gates and name him and I'm just people going crazy.
Speaker 4: And then while this, while all this stuff was being
Speaker 4: said on MSNBC and CNN and ABC and CBS and
Speaker 4: NBC on Fox, they were like making it like the
Speaker 4: fourth story of the day, because I think they weren't
Speaker 4: sure to handle it. Oh yeah, I'm sure the brass
Speaker 4: was having what the effort we was supposed to say
Speaker 4: about this meeting to you know, issue the orders down
Speaker 4: to their their hosts. Maybe I'll do this first and
Speaker 4: then we'll hear from Senator Mullins with some comment last
Speaker 4: year about Matt Gates. This is from Mark Hauprin's newsletter.
Speaker 4: H you know, because this is me talking before I
Speaker 4: read from his newsletter.
Speaker 2: Trump is.
Speaker 4: Crazy like a fox and crazy. He's both. So he's
Speaker 4: crazy like a fox and crazy. And I was thinking
Speaker 4: it was his first crazy, just crazy, his second crazy
Speaker 4: just crazy, But could be the crazy like a fox,
Speaker 4: because Mark Alprin writes that you wouldn't have to visit
Speaker 4: any more than three booths at the Capitol Grill to
Speaker 4: hear it be said that team Trump has no intention
Speaker 4: of actually getting Gates confirmed. That he has thrown Gates
Speaker 4: out there to be the sacrificial lamb of the confirmation
Speaker 4: gods so he can go down in flames, and so
Speaker 4: that others might garner fifty votes and take up their
Speaker 4: cabinet positions. Because there's usually only like enough momentum attention
Speaker 4: everything else to like really battle one person and then
Speaker 4: the other people get through, and that Gates might beat. Okay,
Speaker 4: you know, blow up your capital on this and all
Speaker 4: your ink or however you want to look at it
Speaker 4: to tweet and then get my other people through.
Speaker 2: Possible. Right.
Speaker 4: I have heard that described through the years as a strategy, and.
Speaker 2: It could be.
Speaker 4: If that is the idea, then you've got to approach
Speaker 4: it completely differently. You got to think, Okay, never, he
Speaker 4: wasn't serious about Gates being the ag So I'm not
Speaker 4: going to criticize the pick. Taking it seriously, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to waste your time or mine. If I'm convinced
Speaker 4: that that was the strategy. I'm not entirely convinced yet.
Speaker 4: I'm not convinced yet either. Possible though that you know,
Speaker 4: he's doing a solid for Gates, who you know, forced
Speaker 4: McCarthy out as speaker, which Trump wanted, and Trump's doing him,
Speaker 4: you know, a favor back. Gates resigned immediately from the House,
Speaker 4: stopping this ethics report that comes out tomorrow because you
Speaker 4: can't release You're not supposed to release a report on
Speaker 4: a guy who's no longer a member. I mean, what's
Speaker 4: the point again? Join me in praying it doesn't leak.
Speaker 4: You'd hate to see something leak in Washington TC, especially
Speaker 4: if it's got lurid sexual details about somebody I don't
Speaker 4: even like.
Speaker 2: That would be the.
Speaker 4: Worst Casey Christmas. That's funny, but you can probably order
Speaker 4: it in hardcover. But if Gates had resigned otherwise to
Speaker 4: avoid this, I mean, then it's just one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: It looks awful.
Speaker 4: But if you're resigning because well, I'm the Attorney General nominee,
Speaker 4: now I can't be busy in the house, I tell
Speaker 4: you what. Why don't we play a little audio from
Speaker 4: last year? Mark Wayne Mullen, who we hit it off with.
Speaker 4: He's a senator from Oklahoma. He's a plumbing contractor, an
Speaker 4: amateur MMA fighter, a family man. Just I love him
Speaker 4: in the Senate. Absolutely, He's one of my favorite people
Speaker 4: in government. And he's also a good and decent human being.
Speaker 4: And he said this about Matt Gates.
Speaker 6: You got a thing about this guy. This is a
Speaker 6: guy that didn't have the media didn't give a time
Speaker 6: a day to after he was accused of sleeping with
Speaker 6: an underage girl. And there's a reason why no one
Speaker 6: and the conference came defendit him because we had all
Speaker 6: seen the videos he was showing on the house floor
Speaker 6: that all of us had walked away, of the girls
Speaker 6: that he had slept with. He'd brag about how he
Speaker 6: would crush ed medicine and chase it with with an
Speaker 6: energy drink so he could go all night. This is
Speaker 6: obviously before he got married, and so when that accusation
Speaker 6: came out, no one definded him, and then no one
Speaker 6: on the media would give him the time of the day.
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, he found fame because he opposed
Speaker 6: the speaker of the house back in November, and he's
Speaker 6: always stayed there and he was never going to leave
Speaker 6: until he got this last moment of fame by saying bye,
Speaker 6: by going after a motion to vacate.
Speaker 4: So it's funny Matt Gets doesn't look like the kind
Speaker 4: of guy that has wild sex parties. No, wait, he
Speaker 4: does look exactly like that kind of guy. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: wonder if he and Diddy were part of a chat
Speaker 4: group on Well that's a little over the top, I
Speaker 4: was little okay, granted.
Speaker 2: That's a little much for me.
Speaker 4: Please, I'd like to distance myself from the comments of
Speaker 4: the gentleman from Illinois.
Speaker 2: Where I was. I oh, uh, let me let me address.
Speaker 4: The the the Trump fanatics among us. Who gets and
Speaker 4: I get you getting this and I hope you get
Speaker 4: me widding you Okay?
Speaker 2: Are you from? Do you want to be seen? That's it?
Speaker 4: Make them feel that sae yes, and the phrasing they use,
Speaker 4: you want them to feel seen and heard. I think
Speaker 4: you're heard heard, seen, yeah, snig okay, all right, I'd
Speaker 4: like to be seen.
Speaker 2: I feel seen right now.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm You're gonna have to speak for
Speaker 4: me anyway. The DOJ absolutely did Trump dirty, undeniably. We
Speaker 4: don't have to go through all this, do we No?
Speaker 4: The Russia Gaid and Straw and Page and Komy and
Speaker 4: the rest of it. Uh, the intelligence community, it bears
Speaker 4: all the earmarks of a Russian information campaign. Yeah, Hunter's
Speaker 4: laptop absolute just I mean, they had the fix in
Speaker 4: every way they could. They hated Trump. The defis a
Speaker 4: court madness, wire taps of unjustifiable origin, all of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, my answer to you is Rosa Parks.
Speaker 4: Many, many, many, tired, hard working black women had been
Speaker 4: ordered to the back of the bus, but they wanted
Speaker 4: the perfect plaintiff. They wanted a woman so above suspicion,
Speaker 4: so decent and honorable, that she was the perfect plaintiff
Speaker 4: to bring the history making civil rights case. You want
Speaker 4: somebody to go in and whoop ass on the corruption
Speaker 4: in the DOJ. You can't pick a scumbag. You gotta
Speaker 4: pick a white night, no racial connotation intended. You got
Speaker 4: to pick somebody pure of heart and soul. Who's gonna
Speaker 4: go in there and whoop ass. And the minute somebody
Speaker 4: questions his motivations, you say, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: You're saying that about this person. This person is beyond reproach.
Speaker 2: That's who you.
Speaker 4: Need, right, So, I mean, because so I sympathize with
Speaker 4: your your resentment of the DOJ in the intelligent community
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. Telsea Gabbard falls into the same
Speaker 4: you know, you know parentheses, but you gotta have somebody
Speaker 4: above reproach. Yeah, the federalist, Oh, I often agree with it,
Speaker 4: but not always put out a statement, we need to
Speaker 4: take a wrecking ball to the dog DOJ.
Speaker 2: Matt Gates is just the man for the job. First
Speaker 2: sentence harm.
Speaker 4: Percent correct, second sentence arm percent wrong. Just for the
Speaker 4: reasons you explain, Yeah, you need like the perfect with
Speaker 4: the person with no baggage, and you can't go after
Speaker 4: and discredit in any way to take this on and
Speaker 4: man that this is the last guy for that. A
Speaker 4: tweet that was making the round yesterday. It's pretty funny
Speaker 4: from radio host Michael Smart kanish I suspect Christy Nolan
Speaker 4: was thrilled, thrilled when Pete Hegseeth was selected, and now
Speaker 4: Pete Hegseeth is thrilled to have Matt Gates, and Matt
Speaker 4: Gates can't wait for Robert F.
Speaker 2: Kennedy to be named. Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 4: To your point earlier about who's going to be the
Speaker 4: number one sacrificial lamb. Wow, I was up until yesterday
Speaker 4: thinking no chance RFK Junior gets an actual cabinet position.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking no, probably a coin flip. Maybe he does,
Speaker 4: or at least nominated. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House,
Speaker 4: a very bright and reasonable guy clip forty two.
Speaker 7: Everyone who served with him, we'll say he's one of
Speaker 7: the most intelligent members of Congress. He's an accomplished attorney.
Speaker 7: He's very concerned about the lawfair that has been occurring
Speaker 7: in the Department of Justice under the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: Wow. I didn't hear that for Mike Johnson yesterday, even.
Speaker 4: Had Lindsey Graham, who you claimed hates Gates, said this
Speaker 4: in forty five.
Speaker 8: He deserves a chance to pick his cabinet. I am
Speaker 8: predisposed to allow him to do that. I think Matt
Speaker 8: Matt Gates is very bright. I think he's qualified. He'll
Speaker 8: have a hearing and he'll have some tough questions to answer.
Speaker 8: But to every Republican, please follow a process to give
Speaker 8: President Trump the ability to pick the people he thinks
Speaker 8: can do the job.
Speaker 4: Mark Fieson of the Washington Post, conservative columnist who I
Speaker 4: often agree with, gates announcement is a huge unforced error.
Speaker 4: Putting aside the fact that he's disastrously unfit for the job.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine can be confirmed. Well McConnell, Collins, and
Speaker 4: Murkowski vote for him.
Speaker 2: I doubt it.
Speaker 4: That's down to fifty, which means just one more Republican
Speaker 4: vote no, and he loses many to choose from. And
Speaker 4: this recess appointment gambit is deeply troubling. As someone who
Speaker 4: wants Trump to succeed, this is not the way to
Speaker 4: do it, writes Mark Fieson in the Washington Post.
Speaker 2: Why pick a.
Speaker 4: Fight with the Senate that could backfire over Gates, especially
Speaker 4: when there are so many great conservative lawyers who have
Speaker 4: been fighting for him and would be easily confirmed to
Speaker 4: do a great job.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have the list at my disposal, but
Speaker 4: some of the guys, some of the brilliant constitutional lawyers
Speaker 4: who've been on Trump's side fighting the law there, they
Speaker 4: could get in there and again put a whooping to ours.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So there's almost a guaranteed three no's which gets you
Speaker 4: to fifty. You can't lose one more. God, I think
Speaker 4: your trolling idea if I'm a Democrat is fantastic. You
Speaker 4: take a couple of Democratic senators may come out and
Speaker 4: make it clear to their constituents. I'm just doing this
Speaker 4: to put the Republicans in spot and then you got
Speaker 4: to get other Republicans come out and vote. Know. Oh
Speaker 4: and another thing about this, the background check for Attorney
Speaker 4: general is super detailed, thorough and deep, but not like
Speaker 4: not like anything he has ever been through before.
Speaker 2: Oh so that alone could be damned interesting. We're going
Speaker 2: to learn all about his sex life. We're going to
Speaker 2: learn all about his life. I don't don't want to
Speaker 2: know about his sex life. I kind of kind of do.
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know now if it's high school girls,
Speaker 2: I don't want.
Speaker 5: To know that.
Speaker 4: Can I opt out? Finally, I want to run this
Speaker 4: because I love Trey Gouty. Trump fans love Treyouty. How
Speaker 4: do you not love Trey Gouty?
Speaker 2: Forty four, the haircut.
Speaker 3: H well personality resigned from the House. They were getting
Speaker 3: ready to drop a scathing report on him. You know,
Speaker 3: House Ethics Committee had been investigating him for a long
Speaker 3: time for a lot of things. But I'm sure these
Speaker 3: senators are going to give him a chance. You're gonna
Speaker 3: want to read that ethics report. They're gonna want to
Speaker 3: read the investigative file that the FBI and d OJ
Speaker 3: accumulated on him when he was under investigation for sexual
Speaker 3: related crimes. So they're gonna want to know all of that.
Speaker 3: I give the present tremendous credit. John Ratcliffe, Mike Wallas,
Speaker 3: others absolute A plus picks. The more you get to
Speaker 3: know Hexith and Tulsea Gabbert, the more you're gonna like her.
Speaker 3: The more you get to know Matt Gates, the less
Speaker 3: you're gonna like him. I'm gonna be really surprised if
Speaker 3: he can get confirmed.
Speaker 4: That fits in with the Gates as a sacrificial lamb theory. Yes,
Speaker 4: Telsea Gabbert, you might want to remember when Trump killed Solomanee,
Speaker 4: the Iranian thug. She came out and said there was
Speaker 4: no justification whatsoever for the US government to kill Solomane.
Speaker 2: She's going to be the DNI director if she gets confirmed.
Speaker 4: She is shockingly soft on Putin and Bashar al asade
Speaker 4: In Si.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, interesting worldview.
Speaker 4: We've got a lot more to talk about today, including
Speaker 4: there's another soccer match between Israel and a European country
Speaker 4: and they're bringing out the security for that. It's quite
Speaker 4: the story. We've got Katie's headlines on the way a
Speaker 4: little bit stay here, Hetty. Quite Game of Thrones level,
Speaker 4: like nobody's going to get their head chopped off or
Speaker 4: anything like that.
Speaker 2: But some of this is this on purpose?
Speaker 4: Is this the old sy up switcheroo double back five
Speaker 4: dimensional chess thing that Trump is doing? Is kind of
Speaker 4: interesting to follow, and I'm not exactly sure which it is,
Speaker 4: But more on that a little bit later, Yeah, Or
Speaker 4: is it just floundering it's hard to tell. Keeps it interesting,
Speaker 4: for sure. So much to get to today, Let's get
Speaker 4: to this who's reporting what? It's the lead story with
Speaker 4: Katie Green. Katie starting with The New York Times. Republicans
Speaker 4: win control of the House, cementing a GOP trifecta under Trump.
Speaker 4: You know, I heard somebody on the left make this point,
Speaker 4: and I thought, you know, that's pretty true. For a
Speaker 4: giant wave election, securing the House by like two seats
Speaker 4: is not much of a wave. That's a decent point.
Speaker 4: I mean, Trump, you look at the map, huge win,
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, all that sort of stuff, taken back
Speaker 4: the Senate. But yeah, usually a wave election, you got
Speaker 4: a good, solid cushion in the House, and they're gonna
Speaker 4: have just a handful of seats, especially after Trump has
Speaker 4: picked out a couple of Republicans for cabinet positions, and
Speaker 4: those seats might be in risk. Now is the time,
Speaker 4: and I could go on for some length on this,
Speaker 4: but I won't hear. Now is the time for moderate
Speaker 4: Democrats to reinsert themselves and reinvent your party and get
Speaker 4: away from the woke lunatics, because there's plenty we can
Speaker 4: get done across the aisle because y'all are perfectly reasonable
Speaker 4: people and we know it.
Speaker 2: Shake off the lunatics.
Speaker 9: From ABC News, New La DA speaks out on Menendez
Speaker 9: brothers fight for freedom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got some audio on that a little bit later.
Speaker 4: Boy, you gotta go way deep on my list of
Speaker 4: things to care about before I get to the his brothers. Well,
Speaker 4: it's it's interesting because the new guy is saying that
Speaker 4: gascon it was purely a political move and we're ending
Speaker 4: this nut job view of crime and punishment in.
Speaker 2: La And I love that. Yeah, love it. From brightbart
Speaker 2: dot com.
Speaker 9: Inflation heated up. Heated up in October, highest monthly rates
Speaker 9: since April.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you were on the left, your headline was
Speaker 4: that prices for groceries actually were down for the first
Speaker 4: time year over year in four years.
Speaker 2: But the worst news is that inflation actually ticked back
Speaker 2: up a little bit.
Speaker 9: From The New York Post, Jill Biden's apparent cold shoulder
Speaker 9: to Kamala Harris ignites social media.
Speaker 2: Yeah, does it?
Speaker 4: And give me a list of the people who got
Speaker 4: ignited by that so I could never be near them
Speaker 4: for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2: But is there a anger from Joe Biden with Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: Sure looked like it. Jinker.
Speaker 9: They were quite icy towards each other.
Speaker 2: You're a woman. What's with the women? He got the
Speaker 2: clouds out name. Malania didn't show up.
Speaker 4: Malani didn't show up yesterday like you're supposed to do so, Jill,
Speaker 4: Doctor Jill had to give her a note.
Speaker 2: And then apparently Jill was cold to Kamalo Mayor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've got to apologize.
Speaker 4: I was thinking of the doctor Jill and Malania thing,
Speaker 4: which I don't care about at all. If doctor Jill
Speaker 4: and Kamala are at each other's throats, yeah, I'm kind of.
Speaker 2: Interested in that, just for purely per purposes.
Speaker 9: From the Associated Press, the satirical news publication, The Onion
Speaker 9: won the bidding for Alex Jones Info Wars at a
Speaker 9: bankruptcy option.
Speaker 4: The Onion bought Info Wars Alex Jones, who's been rehabilitated
Speaker 4: somehow by Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 2: What's had the Onion gonna do with Info Wars? I wonder?
Speaker 2: From CBS.
Speaker 9: Two more escaped monkeys captured in South Carolina and given
Speaker 9: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Speaker 4: And fruit loops. You can't reward them for their escape.
Speaker 4: You need to punish them in solitary.
Speaker 2: What they're rewarding before coming to nice PBNJ.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 9: And finally, the Babylon Bee Tesla introduces self crashing car
Speaker 9: for women.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, No, I won't have that agyny misogyny from
Speaker 4: our sexist.
Speaker 2: Air that because it's hilarious.
Speaker 4: We've got more of the news of the day and
Speaker 4: other stuff on the way. I hope you can stay here,
Speaker 4: armstrong and getdy.
