1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: On this panel had yet many of them are starting 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: to fall online. You saw Susan Collins yesterday say that 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: she planned to vote yes. James Langford, who initially was 4 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: a yes vote but then was among the senators raising 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: serious concerns about the way she answered questions related to 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: Edward Snowden said yesterday confirmed definitively that he will vote 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: yes for her as well. Young is the only one 8 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: on the Intelligence Committee who is yet to say which 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: way he plans to vote, and he received a great 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: deal of online scrutiny, particularly from Elon Musk, who's, of 11 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: course Donald Trump's right hand man right now in the 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: White House. Then Musk signaled on his platform X that 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: he and Young had spoken and that things were resolved. 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: No one said anything about how that impact Telsey Gabbert's vote, 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: and Young has continued to say that he is still 16 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: trying to figure out if he's a yes or no. 17 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: If Young votes no one committee, that's likely enough to 18 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: kill Gabbert's vote as well. But Jonathan, I think the 19 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: important point here is if past practice is any indication 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: about this young new congress and their relationship with Donald Trump, 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: they will likely fall in line. I think that we 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: should be very surprised if we see either Cassidy or 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: Young stray away from this vote and vote know and 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: especially be the person, the one individual that takes the 25 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: brunt of what will likely be an enormous amount of 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: backlash from the MAGA community if they are the ones 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: to vote know. So, I'd be very surprised if either 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: of these nominees at least don't make it until the 29 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: next stage and that. 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: Full floor vote. 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: But there will be a lot to watch here today, 32 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: And one of their last point I'll make about this 33 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: Jonathan Bill Cassidy up for reelection in Louisiana. If you 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: were to vote no, he would likely face a very 35 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: stiff challenge from. 36 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: The MAGA world. And keep in mind he may face that. 37 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: Challenge anyway, given the fact that he voted to impeach 38 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump during his last term. So there's a lot 39 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: of play here today and it's going to tell us 40 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: a lot about the future of these nominees and also 41 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: the future of this Republican Congress and if they have 42 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: any plans to stand up to Donald Trump in. 43 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,279 Speaker 3: The near future. 44 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, there'd be safety and numbers. 45 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: But being that one low novoe that makes a difference, 46 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: very very challenging. I'll say Trump officials I've spoken in 47 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: recent days feel very bullish about their chances to get 48 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: everyone through. 49 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 5: You send these nominations to the Senate and the Article 50 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 5: three Project will work with Bannon's war room and we 51 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 5: will get these people confirms. And we have and we 52 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 5: did that with Pete Hexseeth. We lit up the Senate 53 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 5: when people went to Article three project dot org and 54 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 5: take action. We've had one hundred we've had I'd. 55 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 6: Have to get the latest numbers from Mark Lucas who 56 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 6: she has gave us the numbers overall numbers in what 57 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 6: Natalie said from the White House, literally we collectively melted 58 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 6: down the sentence, phone line, everything that can't take a 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 6: weak most they've ever had. 60 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 5: We've had one hundred. We've had one hundred and sixty 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 5: thousand phone calls and emails going into home state senators, 62 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 5: not just not just Steve Bannon calling up, you know, 63 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 5: Macy Herono from Hawaii calling your home state senators, which 64 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 5: is the most effective thing you can do. Have melted 65 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 5: down the Senate. So they have gone from dead on 66 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 5: arrival to oh, make this stop. After about three days 67 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 5: of the war room, blowing up the Senate switchboard. So 68 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 5: it's going very well. 69 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 7: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 70 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 7: for our enemies because we're going to medieval. 71 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 4: On these people. 72 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 7: There's not got a free shot. 73 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 2: All these networks lying about the people, the people have 74 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: had a belly full of it. 75 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 7: I know you don't like hearing that. I know you 76 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 7: tried to do everything in the world to stop that, 77 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 7: but you're not going to stop it. 78 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: It's going to happen. 79 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 7: And where do people like that go to share the 80 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 7: big line? 81 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: Mega media? 82 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 7: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 83 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 7: these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my 84 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 7: task and what is my purpose? 85 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: If that answer is to save my country, this country 86 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: will be saved. 87 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: War Room, use your host, Stephen K. 88 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 7: Bat Oh, Tuesday four February year over Lord, twenty twenty five. 89 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 7: Welcome to the war.

We have worked on this for years. 147 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 7: Is why we got Naomi Wolf. Remembering Nay and we 148 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 7: Wore first came on the show back in twenty twenty one. 149 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 7: You hated her, Oh my god, the hate.

But this is 152 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 7: the red pill of the moms of America. The moms 153 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 7: are liberty. Those moms that saw what was being talked 154 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 7: to their kids in school. The moms all of a 155 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 7: sudden had a great awakening.

And they've exposed 158 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 7: the entire racket of the food industry, right, and the 159 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 7: kind of the racket of big agriculture and the racket 160 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 7: of big pharma. You watch MSNBC like we do. We 161 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 7: deconstruct this all the time. You watch MSNBC eighty percent 162 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 7: of the ads. They have two types of ads. They 163 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 7: have ads for the most bizarre drugs you've ever seen 164 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 7: in your life. I mean, it's the sickest audience I've 165 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 7: ever seen. Last night, I saw one that topped it 166 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 7: for people that are depressed. But it's a booster for 167 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 7: your depression pills. Not kidding, they're depressed and they need 168 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 7: to uplifts and it says safe for your depression pills. 169 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 7: I'm not picking on people that are depressed. I know 170 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 7: people are out there depressed, and you particularly depress if 171 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 7: you're watching MSNBC and you're progressive. I got that, but 172 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 7: it's just everything so big Pharma basically supports and Bobby 173 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 7: Kennedy has committed to us one of the first things 174 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 7: you're going to do is get big pharma. They don't 175 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 7: do it in England, they don't do it in Europe, 176 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 7: they don't let these pharmaceutical companies coming to do basic 177 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 7: advertising on political channels shouldn't be to do it because 178 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 7: it's part of the political agenda. Bobby Kenny's promise that 179 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 7: Bobby Kennedy, for all his flaws, and he's a very 180 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 7: imperfect instrument, as we all are. I think we're I 181 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 7: think we're I think we're I think we're running the 182 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 7: tables here on imperfect instruments. It's Bobby Kennedy's imperfection that 183 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 7: makes his work even better. I think, just like President Trump, 184 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 7: Pete Hexath, Stephen K. Bannon, Tucker Carlson, all of us, 185 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 7: and today we need Bobby Kennedy. Doctor Cassio Folks in Louisiana, 186 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 7: we had the Surgeon General Louisiana on here the day 187 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 7: and he is full maga and he said, flat out, 188 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 7: make no mistake about the people in Louisiana want make 189 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 7: America healthy again. They want Robert F. Kennedy Junior as 190 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 7: the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Now you might ask, 191 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 7: why is the Finance Committee voting of this? Why is 192 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 7: the Health in Human Services Committee not voting on It's 193 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 7: a very good question. The answer is there's so much 194 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 7: cash that flows through this system, cash money that they 195 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 7: make the Finance Committee kind of oversee it Health and 196 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 7: Humor Services, the the Committee of Jurisdiction, this kind of 197 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 7: dual reporting, but the vocals and the Finance Committee. This 198 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 7: is what Elon's trying to do. As you know, Elon 199 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 7: Musk and I have some difference as his opinion. We 200 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 7: also have some things that the enemy of my enemy 201 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 7: is my friend in the big league, enemy of each 202 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 7: other when you talk about big topics, could be very friendly. 203 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 7: You know, you can the clans can unite for while 204 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 7: they used to do this in Scotland all the time. 205 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 7: You can unite to keep you know, was it Edward 206 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 7: the first from burning York from sieging York and then 207 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 7: turn around the next day and be at it fighting 208 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 7: each other. It works. I'm irish, I'm Celtic. It happens 209 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 7: all the time. Hell, that's the way that British kept 210 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 7: us divided for so many centuries. Two zero two two 211 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 7: two four three one two one mosque with his engineering rind. 212 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 7: Here's what's going on. The memo you saw come out 213 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 7: last week from O and B. It's two parts of 214 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 7: this story, and the media doesn't quite get it because 215 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 7: they're not engineers. Elon Musk is going in first. I remember, 216 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 7: we need big cuts. We need a treeion dollars, Elon, 217 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 7: and we need it like next week. Just identify it. 218 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 7: You don't have to make the cuts. President Trump and 219 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 7: the House are going to make the cuts, okay, but 220 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 7: we need identification in his mind. In this how engineer works. 221 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 7: Like the first thing that you do in a navy 222 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 7: ship when you show up, you're just an ensign. You 223 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 7: have north the idea you've basically learned. The pointy part 224 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 7: of the ship goes forward and the stern is where 225 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 7: you know, is in the back. The fantails in the back. 226 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 7: That's about all. 227 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 8: You know. 228 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 7: What they tell you to do. You get a notebook 229 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 7: and you line diagram the entire ship. You walk around. 230 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 7: You start with like the engines and the you know 231 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 7: you just you line diagram, the weapon systems, the communication system. 232 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 7: The engineer is very laborious, the damaged control systems. You 233 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 7: just take a pen and you just do it, and 234 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 7: then in your mind you have a mental map, a 235 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 7: mental map. All of a sudden, the ship as a 236 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 7: system starts to make sense. Remember Wellington, don't we talk 237 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 7: about Wellington? What do we do on the show that 238 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 7: you're so far ahead, and you're such a you're such 239 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 7: a hammer, you're such a hammer, so far aheads. As 240 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 7: soon as they start talking something good, we'll go to it. 241 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 7: We're going, let's go live to the committee here, and 242 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 7: I will come back with my contextualization of all of 243 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 7: this in a moment. 244 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 4: Kert. 245 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 9: We will proceed with statements, and I will proceed first, 246 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 9: then Senator Whiten, and then we will rote. I will 247 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 9: proceed first, then Senator Whiten, and then we will rotate 248 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 9: from one side to the other until we are. 249 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 4: At a point where we are prepared for the vote. 250 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 4: Sit with you, Senator mister Kennedy. 251 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 9: If confirmed, we'll have the opportunity to deliver much needed 252 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 9: change to our nation's healthcare system. He has spent his 253 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 9: career fighting and America's chronic illness epidemic and has been 254 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 9: a leading advocate for healthcare transparency, both for patients and 255 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 9: for taxpayers. Mister Kennedy has also clearly responded to our 256 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 9: questions during the rigorous due diligence process in his hearing 257 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 9: also and in the course of answering over nine hundred 258 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 9: questions for the record that were asked by members of 259 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 9: this committee. In response to members of the Committee, mister 260 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 9: Kennedy has even amended his ethics agreement, going beyond what 261 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 9: is required by the Government. 262 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 4: Office of Ethics. 263 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 9: Mister Kennedy has proven his commitment to the role of 264 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 9: Secretary of the HHS, and I will vote in favor 265 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 9: of his nomination. I strongly encourage my colleagues on both 266 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 9: sides of the aisle to do the same. And with 267 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 9: that I recognize our ranking number Senator Widen for his remarks. 268 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 10: Hey you very much, missus Chairman. I'll have a brief statement, 269 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 10: and then several state on my colleagues on our side 270 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 10: are also going to make brief statements. This morning, we're 271 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 10: going to vote on Robert Kennedy's nomination to serve Kennedy's 272 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 10: nomination to serve as our nation's chief Healthcare Officer. Before 273 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 10: we get to mister Kennedy and why I believe he 274 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 10: is singularly unfit to serve as HHS Secretary, I'd like 275 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 10: to say this. The last several days, we've witnessed an 276 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 10: authoritarian takeover of our federal government by Elon Musk and 277 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 10: Donald Trump. They have set their sights on a full 278 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 10: purge of anyone in government that doesn't bend the knee, 279 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 10: and followed their orders, They've taken over the Treasury Department's 280 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 10: payment system and colleagues. That has a direct effect on 281 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 10: major programs within our Community Committee's jurisdiction that includes Social Security, Medicare, 282 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 10: and Medicaid. Example, this committee voted for a major reform 283 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 10: of Pharmacy Benefit Manager legislation. We passed it twenty six 284 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 10: to nothing, but Trump and Musk killed it. Think what 285 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 10: they could do with abuse of the payment system. Now, 286 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 10: in my view, much of this is of dubious legality 287 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 10: and constitutional authority, and certainly flies in face of Congressional responsibilities. 288 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 10: I'll wrap up on this point by saying, I hope 289 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 10: our colleagues on the other side of the aisle will 290 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 10: not sit by while Musk and Trump make a mockery 291 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 10: of the power of Republicans hold in their congressional majority. 292 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 10: Now more than ever, the American people need leaders that 293 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 10: will stand up to these abuses. 294 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 4: That brings me to mister Kennedy. 295 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 10: A recent analysis showed that Kennedy has made one hundred 296 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 10: and fourteen separate appearances in just the last four years 297 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 10: where he has espoused anti vaccine views or spread information 298 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 10: about the efficacy of vaccines misinformation. Specifically, in thirty six 299 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 10: of those instances, mister Kennedy directly linked vaccines to autism. 300 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 10: Last week, mister Kennedy was given ample authority on a 301 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 10: bipartisan basis to recant his decades long career pedaling anti 302 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 10: vaccine conspiracies. Instead, he spent his time with US dodging 303 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 10: and weaving, and gave no indication that, if confirmed his 304 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 10: HHS Secretary, he would stand by the long settled science 305 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 10: surrounding routine vaccinations. Just take the Samoa measles outbreak as 306 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 10: an example. Mister Kennedy told me and I quote, we 307 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 10: don't know what was killing them, speaking about the eighty 308 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 10: three measles deaths during an outbreak of the disease in 309 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 10: twenty nineteen. 310 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 4: Just yesterday, colleagues. 311 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 10: The Director General of Health from Samoa called this claim 312 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 10: a total fabrication. Peddling these conspiracy theories as the nation's 313 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 10: chief health officer is going to be deadly for kids 314 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 10: across the country. On abortion, Mister Kennedy's answers once again 315 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 10: raised still more questions. He refused to tell us whether 316 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 10: he would blindly follow a directive from Donald Trump to 317 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 10: break the law and end access to me fipristo, and 318 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 10: he seemed to have no understanding of his role in 319 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 10: enforcing existing federal laws that guarantee women the right to 320 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 10: life saving abortion care. Mister Kennedy also failed on several 321 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 10: occasions to show a basic understanding of the Medicare and 322 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 10: Medicaid program he would be tasked with overseeing. Colleagues, That 323 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 10: alone should be disqualifying. Mister Kennedy has given us no 324 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 10: reason to believe there'll be anything other than a rubber 325 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 10: stamp for plans to go medicated and rip healthcare away 326 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 10: from the American people and be a yes man if 327 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 10: ordered by Musker Trump to take an illegal action. 328 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 4: I close with this, colleagues. 329 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 10: Today, We're going to make a judgment about the future 330 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 10: of science in this country. We're going to make decisions 331 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 10: that are going to impact the health and well being 332 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 10: of Americans for years to come. I agree, and I 333 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 10: say this to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, 334 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 10: that the healthcare status quo needs substantial changes so we 335 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 10: get better, more affordable care to patients. And that leaves, 336 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 10: given my statement, the question in front of us, Now, 337 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 10: that's pretty simple. Do senators want their legacy to include 338 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 10: disregarding basic health science and instead elevate conspiracy theorists making 339 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 10: Robert Kennedy Secretary of Health and Human Services, in my view, colleagues, 340 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 10: would be a grave threat to the health of the 341 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 10: American people. And I urge my colleagues this morning to 342 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 10: vote no. 343 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: We and everybody here can ask that we vote now 344 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 4: and then do ur. 345 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 7: Three on each and then we go to the vote. 346 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 7: Can go, yeah, We're going to do it. 347 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 4: So, Senator Widen, we have all of our members here. 348 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 4: Senator Widen and I. 349 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 9: Have agreed that we will have two or three on 350 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 9: each side who wanted to make statements, Okay, do so 351 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 9: before the vote. So please everyone hold with us while 352 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 9: we have those statements made, and then we will proceed 353 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 9: to the vote. 354 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 7: I know it's a science. That's what we're running on here. 355 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 7: The MAHA and the MAGA moment come together. Let's go 356 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 7: back to the committee. Hear what they have to say. 357 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 7: I'll jump in if it starts to bore me. How 358 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 7: about at that, let's go ahead. 359 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 10: We're under the impression after we talked that we would 360 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 10: have two or three and I'm happy for both sides 361 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 10: to make brief remarks, and I'd still like to stay 362 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 10: with that. 363 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 4: I did make that commitment, and so. 364 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 9: I could say to my colleagues on my side, I 365 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 9: would appreciate it if you would hold your remarks until 366 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 9: after the vote. We will let a couple on your 367 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 9: side have their remarks. 368 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 4: And then we will proceed to the boat. Great, thank you, 369 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 4: And who would be next? Sen Or Campwell, Senator Campwell. 370 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 8: Mister Chairman, thank you. I didn't you know when you 371 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 8: said two or three people you know who you had 372 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 8: in mind. But being next in seniority, I appreciate the 373 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 8: opportunity today is very concerning to me because of the 374 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 8: future of what I think our nation faces. When I 375 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 8: think of this issue, I think of my Pacific Northwest leadership. 376 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 8: How Paul Allen on his own invested one hundred million 377 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 8: dollars to fight a bola. I think of Bill Gates 378 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 8: in the Gates Foundation not just trying to eradicate polio 379 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 8: and work on these issues, but to think of a 380 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 8: regime that helps not just our nation's health, but global health. 381 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 8: So with the U dub the University of Washington, the 382 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 8: Cancer Research Center, all of these entities are a collaboration 383 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 8: of saying we have to go faster in solving these 384 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 8: threats to our nation as it relates to health. Now 385 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 8: we can have a big discussion, which I think you 386 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 8: guys all want to have a big discussion about whether 387 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 8: and when what happened in the Wuhan province. But I 388 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 8: can tell you we were the first city. We had 389 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 8: the first patient, we had the first people who died 390 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 8: in nursing homes. We had an emergency room at a 391 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 8: hospital who basically was just begging for any equipment we 392 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 8: could get them. The whole community stood up and moved 393 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 8: as fast as we possibly could and broke down barriers 394 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 8: to save lives. And that is what we have to 395 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 8: continue to do. 396 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 4: On innovation. 397 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 8: We cannot let another country get ahead of us on 398 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 8: some sort of warfare issue and not have a response 399 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 8: when it comes to a vaccine. So the most challenging 400 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 8: I wanted to vote for mister Kennedy in the context 401 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 8: of my family's history. My dad stood behind his father 402 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 8: the night his father gave the famous speech. 403 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 7: I told him in my office. 404 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 8: In my family, the Kennedys stood up. But when he 405 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 8: answered Senator Cassidy's question, and he couldn't even give him 406 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 8: the answer that yes, the data is there to support 407 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 8: vaccines today, I don't need any more data. All of 408 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 8: a sudden, I saw this world that we got affected 409 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 8: by in Seattle not being stood up for. I need 410 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 8: someone at AHHS who is going to say we're going 411 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 8: to be a leader in medical technology, science, vaccines, we 412 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 8: are going to fight foreign powers, we are going to 413 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 8: be there to provide global health. And I don't want 414 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 8: to recalcitrant. I need a leader, and that is why 415 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 8: I'm voting no. 416 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 9: Thank you, Senator Widen and I have agreed that Senator 417 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 9: Warnock will now speak. 418 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 4: Following Senator Warnock. 419 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 9: We will proceed to the vote, and then anyone else 420 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 9: who wants to make remarks will be allowed to make remarks. 421 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 4: Senator Warnock, thank you. 422 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 7: So very much, mister Chairman. 423 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 11: At a rally a few months ago, Donald Trump said 424 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 11: that he was going to allow mister Robert Kennedy to 425 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 11: quote go wow on health, go wow. Of all the 426 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 11: things that I can think of that I'd like to 427 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 11: see a Secretary of Health and Human Services do, go 428 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 11: wild is not on the list. Mister Robert Kennedy is 429 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 11: manifestly unqualified for the job he seeks, and in both 430 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 11: my live and written questions for the record, he failed 431 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 11: to commit to protecting access to affordable health care. Failed 432 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 11: to commit to protecting the people who are protecting us. 433 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 11: The problem that the CDC has is that every day, 434 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 11: these noble civil servants and workers protect us from dangers 435 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 11: that we don't see, and often you don't get credit 436 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 11: for protecting people from things that they don't see. I 437 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 11: simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, 438 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 11: and I dare say everybody here knows it. We need 439 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 11: a serious person at the helm of the HHS, an 440 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 11: agency responsible for about half of the health, the health 441 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 11: of about half of all Americans. Mister Kennedy appears more 442 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 11: obsessed in chasing conspiracy theories than chasing solutions. To lower 443 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 11: health care costs for working families in Georgia and to 444 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 11: make sure that we are protected. The last thing we 445 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 11: need is a diletante dabbling. 446 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 4: In conspiracy theories at HHS. 447 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 11: I cannot vote for nominee who is not going to 448 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 11: lower health care costs for Georgians, who's going to undermine 449 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 11: basic science in public health, who puts his own interests 450 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 11: above the health and the well being of others. For 451 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 11: the health and well being of all of our families, 452 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 11: the people who count on us to think about them 453 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 11: in these rooms of power, I urge all of my 454 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 11: colleagues on both sides of the isle to look past 455 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 11: politics and think of country, and I'm moral courage to 456 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 11: do what's right oppose this nomination. 457 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 9: Thank you, Senator Warnick. We now have not only a quorum, 458 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 9: but all members of the committee are present.

And this is another 499 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 7: one is Mike Davis said last night, for those who 500 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 7: didn't watch the six o'clock hour, the fourth hour, we're 501 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 7: trying to get people coming back who spent the day 502 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 7: at the White House car over the agencies to try 503 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 7: to come in studio and summarize what's working on. Mike 504 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 7: had been at the White House all day and had 505 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 7: been working on confirmations. Mike's a specialist in confirmation on judges, 506 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 7: but he's also become in this current cycle. He's been 507 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 7: he is doing murder boards for tons of these candidates. 508 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 7: I think we'll be working on the entire Justice Department. 509 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 7: He murder boarded Russ's vote. He was the murder board 510 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 7: on Cash Bettel. He is very involved. As you remember, 511 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 7: he was the guy with Gorsach Cavanaugh. Gorsch was not hard. 512 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 7: Cabinet was. I shouldn't say not, or they're all hard, 513 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 7: but his was relatively easy. Kavanaughs was a tractor pull. 514 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 7: Mike Davis in the breach did not blink. And that's 515 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 7: the reason Kavanaughs on the Supreme courtcus trust me, there 516 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 7: was a in that unforgiving minute. Like Pete, he remember 517 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 7: about a month ago on that Thursday when we started 518 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 7: the five o'clock show. We had to jump up on it. 519 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 7: You guys did it. Pete Hexa's at the border with 520 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 7: the US Army in the Marine Corps. What's he doing 521 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 7: secure in the border? And that's because of this of 522 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 7: this group. You just dug in there and said, no way, 523 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 7: we want Pete Hexath. Governor Sants is a fine gud. 524 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 7: We want Pete hegxas President Trump wants him, and we 525 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 7: want him, and we got him. Same with Robert F. 526 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 7: Kennedy Junior. I cannot tell you, folks the great effort 527 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 7: in work that you have done here using your agency, 528 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 7: because this is one remember what Mike David said last night. 529 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 7: All these things are dead, and they're all dead in 530 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 7: the ward and these people are all dead, and they're 531 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 7: all washed up on the beach where they ain't washed 532 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 7: up on the beach. The reason Kennedy's so important, the 533 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 7: region HHS is so important. This is the fusion. This 534 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 7: is the merger of the MAGA movement and the Make 535 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 7: America Healthy Again movement, which is a rising tide of 536 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 7: these particularly moms that are sitting there going, hey, we 537 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 7: want the Agriculture Department, we want HHS. We want to 538 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 7: make America healthy again. We're tired of these diseases. We're 539 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 7: tired of this, of all this, we're try to these drugs. 540 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 7: We don't need to be on these drugs all the time. 541 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 7: It's ridiculous. What we need to do is be healthy. 542 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 7: And they're at the tip of the spear in Bobby 543 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 7: Kenny's the tip of the spear. So everybody over the 544 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 7: Kennedy Shop that we've been working with for the last 545 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 7: couple of months and their amazing, amazing, amazing team chief 546 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 7: of staff over there, of course Stephanie Spears all of it. 547 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 7: Nam we Wolf behind the scenes, so many great Mary, 548 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 7: the President of Children's Health Defense, we've had on so 549 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 7: many times, just fantastic, fantastic work. Can't speak highly enough 550 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 7: about Children's health offense. Remember at one time they were 551 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 7: considered a bunch of wing nut fringe element where they're 552 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 7: not considered now wing nut fringe elemen. Their head is 553 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 7: now on the path to be Secretary of Health and 554 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 7: Human Services. And let me bring up another point. No 555 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 7: matter how much you count how these democrats, it's full resistance. 556 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 7: I want to go back to the opening of Wyden. 557 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 7: Wyden's opening had nothing to do with Bobby Kennedy, it's 558 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 7: all about President Trump and in Elon Musk. And let 559 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 7: me refer back to Elon for a minute, and back 560 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 7: to the analogy of the Navy ship. As a young officer, 561 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 7: you line out the ship because then you see how 562 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 7: the system works. Assist a ship as a combatant. A 563 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 7: combatant works as a system. You must understand the system 564 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 7: to maximize the benefit the system. But also if things 565 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 7: come like in combat in the system has disruptions, you 566 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 7: know how to work around those disruptions to keep it fighting. 567 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 7: This is what Elon Musk. And also remember Wellington, what 568 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 7: do we teach her all the time? What did what 569 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 7: did General Wellington do with his young officers in the 570 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 7: peninsula campaigns in Spain and Portugal. They're in a land 571 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 7: they've never been in before. A lot of these guys 572 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 7: came had served with him in India. He would bring 573 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 7: him up alongside him and said, hey, bring the second 574 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 7: the next lieutenant up to ride alongside me. He said, 575 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 7: tell me what's on the other side of the hill. 576 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 7: The guys go, I don't know, more hill, going down 577 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 7: a hill, a down slope, because no, no, no, I 578 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 7: want you to tell me specifically, what's on the other 579 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 7: side of the hill, and he would train these people, 580 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 7: train them just don't look at what's around you. You've 581 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 7: got to be projected downrange. In life. How many people 582 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 7: do you know they can't get it together enough to 583 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 7: think of what process is, to kind of think what's 584 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 7: happening and how this all comes together. That's what separates 585 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 7: you and the warroom. That's what separates the show. Is 586 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 7: to think down range, to think over the other side 587 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 7: of the hill, to think about the ship that you've 588 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 7: wired diagram, how does it work as a system and 589 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 7: in the system, what are the weak points? Where do 590 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 7: we know the point of attack is on the system 591 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 7: to disrupt it, particularly when we've been in the minority 592 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 7: for so long. What Elon Musk is doing to see 593 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 7: is engineering brain come into work. What he first wanted 594 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 7: to do this is I think in back of the 595 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 7: first there was two parts of this. First was the 596 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 7: memo of O and B to say, Okay, in this 597 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 7: vast system, what cash is in the system that haven't 598 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 7: been spent versus what the approved appropriation was appropriations it's 599 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 7: six and a half trillion dollars roughly. We're working on 600 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 7: last year's budget, because we haven't passed a budget. It's 601 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 7: still a cr we're kicking a can down the road. 602 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 7: But O and B manages that and kind of watches 603 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 7: it as far as percentages. He wanted to see how 604 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 7: accurate it was, but also where the cash is and 605 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 7: what's the blow up we had last week? The blow 606 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 7: up last week's very simple. The cash is everywhere. The 607 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 7: cash is everywhere. The guys were at the route, playing 608 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 7: golf and listening to President Trump and thinking great thoughts 609 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 7: about the budget, which they refused to cut. But they 610 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 7: found out that, hey, the money's in Headstart, the money's 611 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 7: in the meals on wheels, the moneys at the Quantus Club, 612 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 7: and you know, it's all over. It's at these hospitals, 613 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 7: community hospitals, it's everywhere in every congressional districts and a 614 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 7: lot of mega districts. And their phones were blown up. 615 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 7: So it's a good exercise to have. They also found 616 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 7: out it might not be as accurate as they thought. 617 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 7: It was another good test. He's testing a system, Russ Voten. 618 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 7: Those guys are testing a system. The Progressive's heads blew 619 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 7: up because they said, finally, somebody's underneath the hood. Of 620 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 7: the car, and they're seeing how this thing works, right, 621 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 7: And these guys just want to spend and fire and forget. 622 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 7: It's all spent. You can't do anything. President Trump's theory, 623 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 7: the case goes back to and the reason the memo 624 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 7: came out. President Trump is signing executive orders. We're talking 625 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 7: about every day days of thunder. We're talking about EO 626 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 7: to pull us out a WHT the World Health Organization. 627 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,959 Speaker 7: We're talking about an EEO to stop the green news scam. 628 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 7: You talk about an EO that cuts this off or 629 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 7: stops this, or stops this. And President Trump would then 630 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 7: pick up his favorite papers, which would be the Wall 631 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 7: Street Journal, right, he pick up the Wall Street Journal, 632 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 7: he would pick up the Financial Times of London. He 633 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 7: pick up his real favorite, the New York Times. And 634 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 7: on the front page of these every day it's hey Trump, 635 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 7: Trump is signing these things. But the meanless. Remember the 636 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 7: headline we put up the Financial Times last week. The 637 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 7: headline there was the three hundred billion dollars has already 638 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 7: been spent through the system. That's driving President Trump nuts. 639 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 7: He going, Hey, I'm signing these eos. What are they 640 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 7: telling me? This money's already spent the theory of impoundment. 641 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 7: Understand this, write that down with the number two parncil. 642 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,720 Speaker 7: This is about the unified theory of the executive. Ideas 643 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 7: have consequences. We're starting at big ideas and we're flowing 644 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 7: it through the system. The unitary theory of the executive 645 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 7: is that he's the chief executive of the United States Government. 646 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 7: He is the commander in chief of the Uniform Military Services. 647 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:38,760 Speaker 7: He is the chief magistrate and the legal chief defender, 648 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 7: legal officer of the United States government, law enforcement officer. 649 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 7: That hasn't happened since Nixon. They're apoplectic. As chief executive officer, 650 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,919 Speaker 7: he can make executive decisions. The theory of the case 651 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 7: is the Appropriations Bill, which is statutory in a law, 652 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 7: and we fight over those all the time. In fact, 653 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 7: we've got Eli Crane sent me some footage is amazing. 654 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 7: Eli Crane in the middle of the night, I think 655 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 7: a summer ago, two summers ago, sitting there arguing about 656 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 7: to the Appropriations Committee or subcommittee about guess what USAI 657 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 7: D and he and Matt Gates are hammering it, and 658 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 7: they're telling me about how illegal is and what they're 659 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 7: doing and how their funny. It's gotta be shut down. 660 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 7: The Republicans voted him down. Less than fifty percent of 661 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 7: the Republicans had his back and had make Gates his back. 662 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 7: So and I love serv server is sitting there going 663 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 7: the House freedom of Cougus River for years USAA D 664 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 7: and they didn't do anything. Mike. This is about the 665 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 7: Republican establishment. What Elon Musk has put on notice is 666 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 7: not the House freedom, Eli Cran. Those guys want to 667 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 7: do it. They haven't had the votes. The votes are 668 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 7: the establishment. That's the ones you see dead quiet. And 669 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 7: the reason is they don't want Elon Musk coming and 670 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 7: drop a ten million dollar dime on their head in 671 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 7: their district that they can never get out of. So 672 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 7: Elon Musk is sitting there and that's USAD. But let's 673 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 7: go back to the line diagram. President Trump want to 674 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 7: see where the cash is. He wants to do impoundment. 675 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 7: He's saying, Hey, the Appropriations Bill says what the ceiling is? I, 676 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 7: as executive, with my powers, my Article two powers, as 677 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 7: the chief executive of this apparatus called the federal government, 678 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 7: I can make executive decisions. And that executive decision is 679 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 7: that guess what, the green new scam is not working. 680 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 7: There's three hundred billion. I'm going to go grab that 681 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 7: money because I'm going to impound it. And guess what 682 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 7: I'm going to reallocate it to. I don't know, maybe 683 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 7: getting twelve million illegal aliens out of the country. Hey 684 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,919 Speaker 7: just saying. Or as a chief executive officer, he could 685 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 7: make other decisions. That's his theory. The case these ideas 686 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 7: are big. I think a couple of three of them 687 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 7: may actually end up the Supreme Court. Okay, just I 688 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 7: think a lot of these ideas are going to have 689 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 7: to be argued out going to court and eventually see 690 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 7: President Trump's got a pretty good track record on that. 691 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 7: You go back to the first on the travel ban. 692 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 7: We sat there the travel ban, and we had a 693 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 7: legal I told him the Supreme Court will back is 694 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 7: up all the way through the system. President Trump didn't 695 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 7: want to back off a rack. Iraq was in the 696 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 7: first one. We did a second because of because of Madison, 697 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 7: these guys, and President Trump goes, I don't like this. 698 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 7: We're going to win with the first one, but I'll 699 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 7: do it because my generals want to do it. Did 700 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 7: the second one went to the Supreme Court. Guess what. No, No, 701 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 7: President Trump is correct. That's what you're seeing here. Now 702 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 7: Elon takes it one step further. He goes, hey, I 703 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 7: see in the diagram maybe the forward part of the 704 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 7: ship where we can monitor this. I know where the 705 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 7: cash is, but that's not actually controlling the cash. He 706 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 7: just controls part of it. I want to go back 707 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 7: to the railhead of this. I want to see where 708 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 7: the check. I want to see where it goes from 709 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 7: a actually being a fifteen thousand page document like these 710 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 7: appropriations bills are how that actually flows through the system 711 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 7: to what department and who cuts the checks? How's the 712 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 7: check get cut? Because Office of Management Budget clearly is 713 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 7: a management apparatus and DOGE is part of that. They're 714 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 7: a consultant of that, they're an advisor to that. I 715 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 7: want to see actually how it gets the checks get cut. 716 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 7: That leads us to the Treasury Department. The Treasury Department. 717 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 7: Then he goes back and that's why he has a 718 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 7: team over there. And what are they doing. They're lining 719 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 7: out right now and doing a ligne diagram right now 720 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 7: on all of it and seeing where where the thing 721 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 7: comes over the budget, the appropriates Bill comes over with 722 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 7: the allocation of cash from the treasury. And remember the 723 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 7: treasury's got also since we only take in I don't know, 724 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 7: four and a half trillion dollars, it all goes to 725 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 7: the treasury, right, and you're spending six and a half 726 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 7: tree in there's a gap. There's mister deficit. Remember mister deficit. Okay, 727 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 7: mister deficit is in finance by Treasury selling bonds and 728 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 7: their partner, their money printing partner, the Federal Reserve, the 729 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 7: money printing partner of the fiat currency. So this is 730 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 7: how it works. And he's doing a massive diagram and 731 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 7: they're actually finding in the system some issues. I think 732 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 7: he's saying some of this is on autopay. They've autopaid 733 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 7: some and there's not even there's some organization institutions are 734 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 7: not not signed off in the appropriations, maybe even gone away. 735 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 7: When he's spends six treeon dollars, that stuff's going to happen. 736 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 7: And that's what he wants to rewire now his theory 737 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 7: of the cases. In seeing this, he will see what 738 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 7: massive inefficiencies are, massive massive overlaps are. And we've always 739 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 7: kind of dismissed wayte Farden abuse here. We know it's 740 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,479 Speaker 7: a lot, but it doesn't get to the treeion dollars 741 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 7: or the two training that you got to. You gotta 742 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 7: cut the you gotta cut here. But he's going about it. 743 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 7: This is how an engineer thinks. This is how Thomas Edison, 744 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 7: and he's the modern day Edison. Let's say this is 745 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 7: how Tom Edison would come through and say, if we're 746 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,399 Speaker 7: going to restructure this. He keeps talking about the digital side. 747 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 5: One. 748 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 7: I just want to see how the system works. It's 749 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 7: no different than a young officer in the navy ship. 750 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 7: It's no difference in the war and possely what why 751 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 7: do we remember? We say all the time, we're going 752 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 7: to show you critical path right process statics and dynamics 753 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 7: of process. You know where the inflection points are, where 754 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 7: the angle of attack is. This is why you're so 755 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 7: much more sophisticated than virtually all these people on Capitol 756 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 7: Hill because you've studied this, You've studied this in the 757 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 7: war room. And he's going doing a quick tritorial. Now 758 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 7: as it comes through, some of the first things he 759 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 7: sees are surprise, exactly what the war and Posse's been 760 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 7: looking at because for the last four years, five years. 761 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 7: We've had people on it like Mike Benz. We had 762 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 7: a young investigative reporter like Natalie Winners. We had Darren 763 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 7: Beattie on all the time. Right, we have Jack Bosobak 764 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 7: and Raheem Cassam. You have Revolver News, you have Kane. 765 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 7: It says, is the free press of putting these stories up. 766 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,919 Speaker 7: You are ten times more sophisticated. I know you're sitting 767 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 7: there going, man, come on, I got a bib overall, No, 768 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 7: you don't, come on. You're more sophisticated with the more 769 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 7: sophisticated understanding than virtually all the media, because all the 770 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 7: media is the ones on TV are all like movie 771 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 7: stars and TV stars. Okay, they're not there for their brains, Okay, 772 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 7: They're there for their style and their looks. The laboring 773 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 7: ores of the press. Some are very good and some 774 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 7: get it done. But that's the exception, not the rule. 775 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 7: That's the exception, not the rule. Because this city does 776 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 7: not reward real reporting. The city does not reward, the 777 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 7: media does not reward. They reward the over the top. 778 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 7: Trump's a fascist, right over the top, Elon Musk and 779 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 7: see Benning at war with each other, or they go 780 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 7: to the horse race, if they're going to the horse 781 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 7: race in a presidential campaign, or they're doing this kind 782 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 7: of palacing trigue and who's in and who's out on 783 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,760 Speaker 7: the court and whats that's the lazy way. It's easy. 784 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 7: The story kind of writes itself, right, and this is 785 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 7: what they do. They don't get in back of the 786 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 7: underlying processes. They do in the back of the convergence 787 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 7: of these forces. They've totally missed. They've still missed one 788 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 7: of the biggest, most important stories ever, not just the 789 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 7: rise of populism, which they're too arrogant to really get 790 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 7: in back of in detail, although some are running to 791 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 7: it now because they think they get a book deal. 792 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 7: What they've missed is the theory of the case of 793 00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,720 Speaker 7: how we won twenty twenty four. And Elon Musk, quite frankly, 794 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 7: I say, to his credit, he came in and back 795 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,959 Speaker 7: that because there's always countervailing forces around Trump. In President Trump. 796 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 7: You've seen President Trump, we say, in beast mode right now, 797 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 7: right this is days of Thunder, and he's dropping bombs, 798 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 7: whether it's trade, geoeconomics, Greenland, Panama, the border DEEI you 799 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 7: just go on and on I can name twenty five 800 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 7: things that we're not even talking about now. They're all 801 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 7: big because he's in beast mode every day. Bang bang bang. 802 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 7: It's not just flood the zone. He sees. He's crushing 803 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 7: the opposition. They're on MSNBC yammering, right, and that just 804 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 7: at the Daily Show last night, John Daily John Stewart 805 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 7: took on Chuck Schumer, which I'm sitting there going, why 806 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 7: are they It's great for us. They roll Schumer out 807 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 7: and he goes, We're not going to fall for Abandon's 808 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 7: flood the zone. We're focused. Yeah, okay, And he's sitting 809 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 7: there going, they got to shut down Schumer. It's so 810 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 7: bad because there is no opposition right now. There's just 811 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 7: not they're trying to get opposition. Jamie Raskin, they ran 812 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 7: over this pathetic outside of usai D because why the 813 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 7: engineering mind of Elon Moss said, Hey, this is a 814 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 7: noe that u USAI D. It's not a ton of 815 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 7: money in the grand scheme. It's fifty ball in a year, 816 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 7: so it's meaningful, but more important, it's poison. It's a 817 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 7: CIA cutout. We've got Larry Taunton and the Great Ben 818 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 7: Berkwam that we're going to get up in a moment 819 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 7: and talk about this right of this is what's been 820 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 7: funding the daring gap. And Elon went to and his 821 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,760 Speaker 7: team went to it and he talked to the President, 822 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,280 Speaker 7: and President Trump says's run by a bunch of lunatics. 823 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 7: This thing has been a pool of cash for radical democrats, 824 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 7: the deep state, the administrative state, to turn against Americans, 825 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 7: to turn against Americans, so all the suppression of information 826 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 7: of conservative voices. Mike Ben's came on last night, did 827 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 7: a magnificent job that Mike Benz always does walking through 828 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 7: while USAAD has to be shut down immediately. I know 829 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 7: Elon and those guys have been on his Twitter feed 830 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 7: all the time, right and Ben's. Last night, Elon put 831 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 7: up our conversation with Ben's and put it up on 832 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 7: his site because you understand, Benz understands it. Elon these 833 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,879 Speaker 7: guys and guess what they did. They locked the administrative 834 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 7: state and deep state guys out of the building six hundred. 835 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 7: They say, you don't need to show up work from home, 836 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 7: since all the federal employees do it. Just work for 837 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,320 Speaker 7: home's not coming in. I think they cut actual access 838 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,839 Speaker 7: to some of the numbers that I think they cut 839 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 7: them off, hard, cut them off. And yesterday they had 840 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 7: a protest. It was kind of sad Jamie raskin the 841 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 7: team out there, And look, I'm not supportive of everything 842 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 7: Elon wants to do. I'm particularly a little concerned about 843 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,359 Speaker 7: the data, but I think that all get worked out. 844 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 7: What I'd like is hammer blows are coming to the 845 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 7: right places. Now. My issue is how do we get 846 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 7: to a treeion dollars? Now off that this is the 847 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 7: question before us. We have to turn that and scale 848 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 7: it because at this level it's not going to be 849 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 7: meaningful unless the line diagrams got deep secrets in it, 850 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 7: which could be sure Bert. 851 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 8: Other picks like Gabbard that have been controversial, will they 852 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 8: all get through. 853 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 3: I think the betting at this point is that Trump 854 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 3: runs the table. 855 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 4: Now. 856 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 3: Obviously anything can happen. We shouldn't make predictions. 857 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 13: But he does not look like he is going to 858 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 13: lose any of these nominees, as controversial as they might be. 859 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 13: And again doesn't mean the Republicans an't necessarily all comfortable 860 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 13: with it, but they have fallen in the line. They 861 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 13: recognized the political reality. Political reality is right now is 862 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 13: Trump's Washington. 863 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:27,839 Speaker 3: He's getting his way. 864 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 13: If they were to stand up to him, they would 865 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 13: pay a price, and very few of them are willing 866 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 13: to do that now, you know, it's most striking about 867 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 13: these nominees, particularly the ones we're talking about RFK Junior, 868 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 13: Telsea Gabbert, Cash. 869 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 3: Betel Pete hagsaid. 870 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 13: These are people who are being put in place of 871 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,760 Speaker 13: agencies and departments specifically that they have in fact criticized 872 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 13: deeply whose you know, very foundations in some ways they 873 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 13: would like to blow up or at least, you know, dismantle, revamp, 874 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:00,320 Speaker 13: what have you. 875 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 3: And so it's it's this is going to be the start, 876 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 3: not the end, of. 877 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 13: A rather extraordinary experiment in effecting government will which we're 878 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 13: putting people in place who don't believe in the departments 879 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 13: and agencies that they are running, believe that they need 880 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 13: to be completely. 881 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 3: Uprooted and and transformed. Some people think that would be 882 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 3: for the best, but a lot of people will worried 883 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 3: in washing right now. 884 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 7: Okay, Todd Young, another news flash, Todd Young has just 885 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 7: announced he's going to vote for Tulsi Gabrett. Tulsi Gabrett 886 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 7: will be approved by the Intelligence Committee this afternoon, she 887 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 7: will go to the floor. She'll be approved for the 888 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 7: United States Center.

You think that hurt Peter Baker. 891 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 7: You've seen you know, Peter Baker's got that scrunched up faces. 892 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 7: That's the very officious New York Times, the paper of 893 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 7: record of your beloved Republic, telling you the way things are, hey, 894 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 7: the way things are right now, they're not happy. Plus 895 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 7: we're going to have cut in a few minutes. Harry Entton, 896 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,760 Speaker 7: the Great Pulsar CNN says, he sums up his current polling. 897 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 7: Trump is winning on his cabinet picks.

And I'm 903 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 7: just saying, if we hadn't blinked and hadn't gotten wobbly 904 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 7: on Matt Gates. Mad Gates would be uh, Pam, Bonnie's fantastic, 905 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 7: You're gonna do a great job. But we would have 906 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 7: had mad Gates as Attorney General of the United States 907 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 7: of that, there's no doubt. Why is that you can't 908 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 7: beat MAGA. Can't do it. Resilience, They can't beat it. 909 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 7: That's why they're freaking out now. They actually saw they 910 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 7: thought they were going to be a pickoff at least 911 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 7: one in maybe two and take it as a victory. 912 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 7: Here about President Trump. Okay, more in this I want 913 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 7: to go to something very special. We're gonna go to Greenland, 914 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 7: live our own. Tom Dans is there, Tom? Walk me through? 915 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 7: Why are you in Greenland? Why is it important? What 916 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 7: is happening today that this audience, the Wari Posse needs 917 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 7: to know about. Hay Steve. 918 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 2: Great to be with you, Great to be with the Posse. Yeah, 919 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 2: coming to you. Live from the south of Greenland. And 920 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,759 Speaker 2: we're here because my organization, American Daybreak. And really when 921 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 2: I worked for President Trump in the first administration, I 922 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 2: was at Treasury and then I was an Arctic Commissioner. 923 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 2: But part of what is really important today in the 924 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 2: moment is for Americans and really for the rest of 925 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 2: world to realize how closely intertwined our country has been 926 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 2: with Greenland for so long and why it's so important 927 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 2: and so what. We're here in the south of Greenland, 928 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 2: and you can see the American flag here flying at 929 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 2: half staff behind us. We're at the site of the 930 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 2: former main base in gree US base during World War 931 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 2: Two in Greenland. 932 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,319 Speaker 7: Called Bluey West one. 933 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 2: And in particular we're here the flags at half masks 934 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 2: today because it symbolizes the sacrifices that Americans made in 935 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,480 Speaker 2: this war, and in particular something that was celebrated yesterday 936 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 2: called four Chaplains Day. We have a bus coming down 937 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 2: right here. We're going to pass by us. But yeah, 938 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,880 Speaker 2: this is a little town of one hundred and thirty people, 939 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,280 Speaker 2: but at one point we had fourteen hundred Americans here running. 940 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 2: This is literally carved out of a mountain of rock 941 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 2: in Greenland. Greenland, for those who aren't so familiar with it, 942 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 2: you know, this is a country. I'm from Texas. This 943 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,880 Speaker 2: is a country three times the size of Texas with 944 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 2: about fifty six thousand souls on it. So it's just 945 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 2: an incredibly remote place, but really only about three and 946 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,800 Speaker 2: a half four hours flight time from the US. So 947 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,320 Speaker 2: this base is kind of what we call the front 948 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 2: door part of North America. Greenland is part of North America. 949 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,680 Speaker 2: It's the front door on our US East coast. And 950 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,399 Speaker 2: particularly when we talked about the sacrifices that were made here, 951 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,280 Speaker 2: that's four Chaplain's days, So four Chaplains days. The National 952 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 2: Day of Remembrance it occurred yesterday. It recognized as the 953 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 2: loss of the US Army transportship Dorchester, which was torpedo 954 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,320 Speaker 2: It was on its way from New York City to 955 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 2: this base here in Narsasuac. It was a multi day voyage. 956 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 2: It was torpedoed by a Nazi submarine about one hundred 957 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 2: miles off the coast. Went down with the loss of 958 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 2: six hundred and seventy two men, six hundred and fifty 959 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 2: nine Americans. If you can imagine right now, and we're 960 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 2: standing here at minus five degrees fahrenheit, the sun's out. 961 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 2: Last night it was minus twenty here. These men went 962 00:52:54,960 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 2: down in twenty minutes from in the ocean, right But 963 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 2: there were four child This is part of the incredible 964 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 2: story of heroism here. 965 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 4: There were four. 966 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 2: Chaplains aboard who had just been There were newly minted 967 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 2: first lieutenants in the US Army and there were two 968 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 2: of them were Protestants. There was a Methodist minister, and 969 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,399 Speaker 2: there was a Reformed Dutch minister. There was a Roman 970 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,839 Speaker 2: Catholic priests, and there was a Jewish rabbi. And they 971 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 2: were essential because they were traveling on a ship. There 972 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 2: were nine hundred and two men. So this was a 973 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 2: This was a commercial ship that had been turned in 974 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 2: requisitioned by the war authorities. It was being run by 975 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 2: US Merchant Marines. Important my grandfather and this was the 976 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 2: US Merchant Marine and actually made this run. He wasn't 977 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 2: on this ship, but he sailed back and forth to 978 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 2: Greenland during the war and helped build the air base 979 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 2: here afterwards. So that's how it come. But these were 980 00:53:55,200 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 2: merchant mariners carrying army troops, civilian to work here. We 981 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,840 Speaker 2: had six we had thirteen different installations around Greenland that 982 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 2: we built up. 983 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 7: Hey, Tom, Tom, just hanger for one second.
