I want to look 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: back on February to when I called all this John Thune, 13 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: who should have been primary forever ago. But of course 14 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: he's handsome and speaks very well on TV.

Chris, I don't know why you're shaking your hands. 18 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: It's just oracles doing oracle things. Chris, Sorry, you can't 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,919 Speaker 1: participate in any of the All right, serious this before 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: before I get into the Senate leadership thing I wanted 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: to read this email, Dear Oracle, I'm looking for some 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: words of wisdom following Veterans Day. I'm currently active duty 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: in the world's greatest Navy. I attended a Veteran's Day 24 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: parade at my child's school and we were treated like 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: rock stars. It was overwhelming and left me feeling guilty. 26 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: Later that evening, I found myself tearing up thinking about 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: my brothers that took their own lives after getting out, 28 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: and thinking about how much I struggle with depression and 29 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: substance abuse and thoughts of suicide. Does it get better 30 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: when you get out? I have two boys, and they 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: keep me fighting. Did say I can say his name? 32 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 1: His name is Brandon. So let me let me speak 33 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: to not just Brandon here, to everybody in and maybe 34 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: everybody who got out, and maybe you are struggling. This 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: is a very, very common theme with veterans, and we've 36 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: had this talk before, and we're gonna have it a 37 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: million more times until every single veteran and guy currently 38 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: in understands this. When you join the military as a 39 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: young man, I can't speak for the women. I've never 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: been one. When you join the military as a young man, 41 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: you fulfill so many things that are traditionally male and 42 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: that biologically are male. You test yourself, you test yourself physically, mentally. 43 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: That's a very male thing. Combat. You know, we are 44 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: made for combat. That's part of the reason God made 45 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: men bigger, stronger, and faster than women. There's a reason 46 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: your shoulders are bigger and your hips are strang are bigger, 47 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: and you have more lung capacity and muscle mass. And 48 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: it's not just so you can be better at basketball. 49 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: It's so you can pick up a spear or a 50 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: gun and go kill people in defense of your country 51 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: and your family. Were men are built for war. You are. 52 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: That's part of what You're built this way, and you're 53 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: fulfilling that. And men, instinctively, especially young men, but really 54 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: all men. Men have a taste for adventure. It can 55 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: be hard, especially for mothers to watch. It can be 56 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: hard for mothers to watch. But young men will look 57 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: out and you said you're in the navy. Young Men 58 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: will look out at the vast, frightening open ocean and 59 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: they will say to themselves, I wonder what's on the 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: other side. I think maybe I should take some chances 61 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: and go find out. When you are a young man 62 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: and you sign up to join the military. You get 63 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: a lot of boxes checked in your life. I did this, 64 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: and I did that, and I did this, and for 65 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: a variety of reasons that can be deadly if you 66 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: allow it to. One of the main drivers of this 67 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: is young men. However young you are. I don't know 68 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: how young Brandon is here, but is Honestly, it applies 69 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: to men in their forties, right, You're still not old 70 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: in your forties. Young men will think, as they're wrapping 71 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: up their military service that they have done the last 72 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: cool thing, manly thing they're ever gonna do. When you 73 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: have some young stud he's getting out of the navy, 74 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: he's been on an aircraft carrier, he partied in Spain 75 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: one night, he's dot he's seen the globe. He's done 76 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: all this with his friends. And you present this young 77 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: man with, hey, we can find you a good job. 78 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: Got a four oh one k and a wife, gets 79 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: you a pretty little wife and then some kids, and 80 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: it almost seems small if you're not looking at it 81 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: the right way. You put one awesome thing on your resume, 82 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: it's not the last thing that goes on your resume. 83 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Your service is not done either.

We need you to go find a dime 87 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: and put a ring on her finger and make babies 88 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: with her and raise patriotic young men and women. You 89 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: are necessary. The rest of your life is not boring 90 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: just because you're not partying in Barcelona with your navy buddies. 91 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: The rest of your life is different, and dare I 92 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: say it, in a lot of ways better. I have 93 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: been there, young man. I have been in the Marines, 94 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: I've been partying in different parts of the world, almost 95 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: got myself killed in Iraq and other places. I have 96 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: seen the adventures and the oceans and the darkness and 97 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: the hardship. And I've come out and I've come out, 98 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: and I've been I'm depressed, and I've drank too much, 99 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: and I've thought this is all worthless and pointless. And 100 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: now I've moved past that phase in my life and 101 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: it's wife and kids, and in many ways it's better now. 102 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: I'm glad I did what I did. I'm glad it's 103 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: there on the resume. But I'm also really glad. It's 104 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: not the last thing you have not done, the last 105 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: cool thing you're ever gonna do. If you get out 106 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: of the Navy, fine, go march on and do something else. 107 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: If you stay in fine, but allow me to address 108 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: one more things. I want to get to. The Senate 109 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: leadership thing you mentioned. You're struggling with depression, substance abuse, 110 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: and thoughts of suicide. You know that I've done this. 111 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: I've been very open with you many times about my struggles. 112 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: When I got out of the Marines, I was so 113 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: angry and violent. I was actually talking to my mom 114 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: the other night, and it really broke my heart watching 115 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: how much you could tell. I broke her heart. Back then, 116 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: she was and I had never seen it from her perspective. 117 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: We were talking around. She had come down to visit, 118 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: and she said when he got back from Iraq, she 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: was talking to me and Ah. We were sitting around 120 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: just talking, discussing things. She said, he was just so 121 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: sad and so angry, and I just felt so helpless 122 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: to pull him out of it. As a mom, all 123 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: I could do was watch my baby who had change 124 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: so much, and I couldn't get him out of it. 125 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't and didn't have any idea how to help him, 126 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, And so that's where I was. I've been 127 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: where you are, exactly where you are. The booze makes 128 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: it worse, or the pills or whatever you're doing. And 129 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: I know why you do it, and I'm not judging 130 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: you at all. I have no right to judge you. 131 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: I've done it. If you've done it, I've done it worse. 132 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: I've done it longer. Trust me, I know, I know, 133 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: I know it makes it worse. If you could go, 134 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: maybe take a day off. I'm not doing this sing 135 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: where you're gonna quit, although you should eventually take one 136 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: day off, one day and see if maybe that improves. 137 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: All right, all right, don't you dare harm yourself. You 138 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: got two young men. They need you and the country 139 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: needs you. So all you vets listening right now, everybody, 140 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: if you're thinking about that crap, stop, you are needed now. 141 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: Now let's talk briefly about the Senate leadership things. I 142 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: don't want to spend any time on it because the 143 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: dowing is done. They had their secret vote today and 144 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: yes I predicted it and I've been obnoxious about it. 145 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: That's just to give Chris a hard time. But I 146 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: saw it coming, because it's easy to see coming. John 147 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: Thune is the new Senate majority leader. And you know 148 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: why that is. We've talked about it before. These red 149 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: state gopeers, they don't participate in primaries, and when they do, 150 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: they go vote for the guy who's in, and so 151 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: we end up getting stuck with the worst senators from 152 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: the redest states. Now, Thune today said a lot of 153 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: good things after he became the leader. 154 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: This Republican team is united. Are are on one team. 155 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: We are excited to reclaim the majority and to get 156 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: to work with our colleagues in the House to enact 157 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: President Trump's agenda. We have a mandate from the American people, 158 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: a mandate not only to clean up the mess left 159 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: by the high Biden Harris Schumer agenda, but also to 160 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: deliver on President Trump's priorities. 161 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: Okay, they all know enough now to drop Trump's name 162 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: a thousand times. You're going to hear a lot of that. 163 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: You talked about the nominees that have to get confirmed. 164 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: Well, what we're going to do is make sure that 165 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: we are processing his nominees in a way that gets 166 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: them into those positions. So they can implement his agenda. 167 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 2: How that happens remains to be seen. You know, obviously 168 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: we want to make sure our committees have confirmation hearings 169 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: like they typically do, and that these nominees reported out 170 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 2: to the floor. But I've said this and I mean 171 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: it that. You know, we expect a level of cooperation 172 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: from the Democrats to work with us to get these 173 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 2: folks installed. And obviously we're going to look at to 174 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: explore all options to make sure that they get better 175 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: than that they get moved quickly. 176 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. I'm not going to beat anyone up anymore. 177 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: We're not going to focus on the bad. Let's hope 178 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: Thune does not become an obstructionist. Thune's own political career 179 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: is invested in remaining at least kind of popular with 180 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: South Dakota Republicans. So let's look, we got him now, 181 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: nothing we could do about it. Let's cross our fingers. 182 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: Hope he gets the nominees through. Hope he doesn't listen 183 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: to this crap from Chuck. 184 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 3: You've been told that Senator John Thune will be the 185 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: next Republican leader in the Senate. I congratulate Senator thun 186 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: on being chosen by his colleagues as the next Republican leader. 187 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: I look forward to working with him. We've done many 188 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: bipartisan things here in the Senate together, and I hope 189 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 3: that continues. 190 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure you do, Chuck, all right, whatever it is, 191 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: what it is. Let's go talk about Matt Gaates Attorney General, 192 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: disrupt and more. First, let's talk about Tunnel to Towers. 193 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: We just did a long talk last hour about the 194 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: global war on terror. And while it is over for 195 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: most people, most people consider it to be over, it's 196 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: not over for the guy who went over there and 197 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 1: lost his legs in Afghanistan. I interviewed young man. I 198 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: think it was yesterday. It was yesterday. I interviewed a 199 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: young man yesterday. He lost both of his arms, both 200 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: of them. He has two prosthetic arms in Afghanistan. You 201 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: know that Tunnel to Towers builds smart homes for these 202 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: catastrophically injured veterans, so they can do things like bathe themselves, 203 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: cook for themselves. They can be much more self sufficient, 204 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: so they can feel like less of a burden. They 205 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: always talk about how they feel like they're a burden, 206 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: which I hate, but they feel that way. Eleven bucks 207 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: a month. That's what Tunnel to Towers asked for. T 208 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: the number two dot org. We'll be back. 209 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: The Jesse Kelly Show. 210 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Wednesday. I'll 211 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: hump day. Now let's dig in. Most people are kind 212 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: of on board with Pete Haig Seth. There's some reservations. 213 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: Does he have enough experience I've but I already told 214 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: you why I'm a big fan love this pick. Now 215 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about the pick that is a coin flip 216 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: with anti communists with Republicans. The big boy Donald Trump 217 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: announced a few hours ago, he announced that Florida Representative 218 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: Matt Gates is going to be his pick for Attorney General. 219 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: I need to again remind everybody he has to be 220 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: confirmed through the Senate, and this one might be a problem. 221 00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: Matt Gates getting through a Senate confirmation process might be 222 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: a big, big problem. But we can't deal with that 223 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: problem right now. The Senate is what it is. We'll 224 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,359 Speaker 1: see where we go from here. So let me explain 225 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: to the haters and lovers of this pick why I 226 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: love it, and I will tell you it doesn't really 227 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: matter who you are whether you love this pick. Love 228 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: Matt Gates or whether you hate it, I'm probably about 229 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: to offend you a great deal. So just bank on 230 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: being offended. If you turn off the radio, fine, I'll 231 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: be here again tomorrow. It's not my job to try 232 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: to dance around things. My job to give it to 233 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: you straight. So here's what it is. Matt Gates is 234 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: a freaking obnoxious individual, completely obnoxious. We have all known 235 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: a frat boy type like Matt Gates, and an obnoxious individual, 236 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: a bomb throwing bull in a china shop who doesn't 237 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: care how many enemies he makes. Is the exact kind 238 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: of person we need taking over the Justice Department. We 239 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: have a Justice department full of poisonous snakes. We have 240 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: a Federal Bureau of Investigation full of those same snakes, 241 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: with some criminals mixed in. Our justice department in this 242 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: country is evil. What we need is what we have 243 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: not had. We need somebody to walk in there and 244 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: start breaking things. We have got to change our mindset. 245 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: The American Department of Justice, the United States of America's 246 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Department of Justice. They sent the Federal Bureau of Investigation 247 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: after school board Moms. Retired Special Agent Steve Friend and 248 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: friend of the Show retired in part because the FBI 249 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: was They told him he had to go jot down 250 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: the license plate numbers of angry parents who showed up 251 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: at school board meetings for the FBI's Counter Terrorism Division, 252 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: and he had to do that on orders from Merrick 253 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: Garland in the DOJ. The DOJ sent the FBI after 254 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: pro lifers and threw them in cages for the rest 255 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: of their life because they were angry about Roe versus 256 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: Wade being overturned. We don't have bad people in the DOJ. 257 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: We have criminals in the DOJ. And you know who 258 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: I want to walk in. I want this guy, obnoxious 259 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: as he is, to kick in the door and be 260 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: a bull. 261 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,239 Speaker 4: Die In general, you've told us that it's a dangerous 262 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 4: conspiracy theory to allege that the Department of Justice is 263 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 4: communicating with these state and local prosecutions against Trump. You 264 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 4: can clear it all up for us right now. Will 265 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: the Department of Justice provide to the committee all documents, 266 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: all correspondents between the Department and Alvin Bragg's office and 267 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 4: Fannie Willis's office and Letitia James's office. 268 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 3: The offices you're referring to are independent offices of state. 269 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 4: I get that, I get that state. The question is 270 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 4: whether you will provide all of your documents and correspondence. 271 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: That's the question. 272 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 4: I don't need a history lesson. 273 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to say again, we do not control 274 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: those offices. 275 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 4: They make there the questions where you communicate with them, 276 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 4: not whether you control them. Do you communicate with them, 277 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 4: and will you provide those community to make. 278 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: A request, we'll refer it to our Office of Legislative. 279 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 4: But see, here's the thing that you come in here 280 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 4: and you lodge this attack that it's a conspiracy theory 281 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: that there is coordinated lawfair against Trump, and then when 282 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: we say fine, just give us the documents, give us 283 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 4: the correspondence, and then if it's a conspiracy theory, that 284 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 4: will be evident. But when you say, well, we'll take 285 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 4: your request and then we'll we'll sort of work it 286 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 4: through the DOJ's accommodation process, then you're actually advancing the 287 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 4: very dangerous con spiracy theory that you're concerned about. 288 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: Remember that talk we had at the beginning of the show, 289 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: in case you're just now joining us, about the teenage 290 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: boy who was losing his mind and so the parents 291 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: had to sign him up for one of those reform 292 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: school boot camps, and they had a couple guys at 293 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: three am kick in the door, rough him up and 294 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: drag him off to boot camp and make his life 295 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: hell for a few months, and he turned his whole 296 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: life around.

Do you 301 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: realize that you don't even have to be an attorney. 302 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: What we need is somebody who's going to blow up 303 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: an organization that is a poisonous disaster and harmful to 304 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: the liberties of the American people.

I understand you may love it, 315 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: Remember we might if you love it, let me tell 316 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: you we may be in trouble on the confirmation process. 317 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: We already have GOP well allegedly GOP senators like Murkowski 318 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: saying absolutely not. Gates may have a very difficult time 319 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: getting through. Just prepare yourself for that. And remember, if 320 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: he doesn't get through, that probably makes trump second pick 321 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: more likely.

If your sales department has been lackluster in 328 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: sales for a long time, you're not making it, not 329 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: making your quotas. And they bring in a new sales 330 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: manager and he kicks in the door and starts screaming 331 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: at everybody and tells your entire entire sales department that 332 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: the bottom ten percent of your sales department will be 333 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: fired by the end of the month. And he starts 334 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: making you do terrible things, and he's watching you do 335 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: follow up calls. You will hate him. In fact, your 336 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: entire sales de apartment will hate him. You will all 337 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: go meet at Chili's for beers on Friday and you'll 338 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: discuss how he's the anti Christ, and guess what, your 339 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: sales department will drastically improve and in the end you'll 340 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: probably make more money. Bill Parcells is the coach you're 341 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: thinking about, Chris. Bill Parcells. Famously, he's that football coach 342 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: for those non football types love Bill Parcells. Bill Parcells 343 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: was that hard nosed football coach who would constantly, it 344 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: was almost miraculous. He would walk into these embarrassing teams 345 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: who never want anything, and Parcels, in a year or 346 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: two would have them all in the playoffs, all these losers, 347 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: these guys couldn't win a game. One of the ways 348 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: he did it, Bill Parcells came out and admitted the 349 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: bottom third of the team he intended to fire a 350 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: third of them immediately he walked in the door anew Immediately, 351 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: a third of you guys are bums. You're gone. Disrupting things, 352 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: changing the course of things is uncomfortable. I don't like him. Hey, 353 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: he's up noxious. Yep, that's the point. 354 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: Ghostwriter didn't delete the recordings just as a matter of happenstance. 355 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 4: Ghostwriter has recordings of Biden making admissions of crimes. He 356 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 4: then learns that you've been appointed. He then deletes the 357 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 4: information that is the evidence, and you don't charge him. 358 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 6: That is reflected in the report. And one of the reasons, like, 359 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 6: what does. 360 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 4: Somebody have to do to get charged with obstruction of 361 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 4: justice by you? If life like deleting the evidence of 362 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 4: crimes doesn't count, what would meet the standard? 363 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 6: So Congressman, as we as we state in the relevant 364 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 6: chapter of the report, one of the things that misters 365 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 6: Wannatzer did not delete was transcripts of the recordings that 366 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 6: he had created that included in culplatory evidence relating to 367 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 6: mister pup. Oh. 368 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 4: So if you if you destroy some evidence but not 369 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 4: other evidence, that somehow absolves you of the evidence you destroy, 370 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 4: Like here's what I see, Zwanager should have been charged, wasn't. 371 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 4: Biden and Trump should have been treated equally. They weren't. 372 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 4: And that is the double standard that I think a 373 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 4: lot of Americans are concerned about Oh. 374 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: That's obnoxious, it's immature. Yes, it's obnoxious, it's immature. Exactly 375 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: what we need, exactly what we. 376 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 4: How often do you brief President Biden? 377 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 5: Uh? 378 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: This is him going after Christopher Ray. By the way, 379 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: remember remember when our senators like Grassley Christopher Ray, do 380 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: you do you think you could stay for a couple 381 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: extra questions? I want to make sure you it's please 382 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: if you wouldn't mind staying. That's how some people question 383 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray, the head of the FBI. Matt Gates questions 384 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray, the head of the FBI. 385 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 4: Differently, how often do you brief President Biden? You mean 386 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: on this in your role as FIAT. 387 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know that I could give you 388 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 5: a number. I was like weekly, monthly, daily, It's it's 389 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 5: not it's not at a regular cadence. There have been 390 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 5: times when there have been months at a time when I 391 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 5: haven't and then there have been times when. 392 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: Several days apart, I have. It's always with other people. 393 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 4: Okay, so when did you notice his decline? 394 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: Uh? 395 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 5: In my interactions in my role, all my interactions with 396 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 5: the current president have been completely professional, right, But. 397 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 4: I mean his the cognitive decline. I'm saying you treated 398 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 4: you and professionally just maybe not picking things up as 399 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 4: quickly as he used to. 400 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 5: Again, I don't meet with him very often, but what 401 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 5: you're describing is not something that I've observed during my 402 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 5: interactions with. 403 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 4: I mean, we've had it observed so often that the 404 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 4: ranking member and mister Schiff on this committee have said 405 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: that he could no longer continue as a candidate. And 406 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 4: so since you're the FBI director, I was just sort 407 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 4: of wondering, like, who's running the country if something Yeah, 408 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 4: so if something bad happened, you'd have to go brief 409 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 4: President Biden about it right now, God forbid. 410 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 5: And on any number of occasions I have briefed to 411 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 5: the President, and as I said, those briefings have all 412 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 5: been uneventful and remarkable. 413 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: Now we can chart a new path that may be 414 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: obnoxious and immature, or we can continue with the status quo. 415 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 5: Senator, I had had a flight that I'm supposed to 416 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 5: be high tailing it too out of here, and I 417 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: had understood that we were going to be done at 418 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 5: one thirty. So that was that's how we ended up 419 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 5: where we are. 420 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: If it's your if it's your business trip, you got 421 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: your own plane.

I want to hear 437 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: weeping and gnashing of teeth. I want communists to run 438 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: to Newsweek and talk about Matt Gates and how he 439 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: was mean to me and why he fired me. I 440 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: want nasty. I want a disruptor, because I know there 441 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: is no polite way out of where we are. You 442 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: want to turn your life around, you want a disastrous path. 443 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: You can't do it nicely, you can't do it politely. 444 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: It takes drastic things, dramatic things. You want to turn 445 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: your company, your company failing, not making the numbers. Things 446 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: are a disaster. Fire, somebody fire, more than one person, 447 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: step in, make a hard decision, blow something up. That's 448 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: how it's done. I understand some of these picks make 449 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: people uncomfortable. I haven't even gotten to Tulsa Gabbert yet, 450 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: and I will get to Tulsi Gabbert. I understand these 451 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: things make people uncomfortable because it's not traditional, right, it's 452 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: not traditional. And when we think of attorney general traditionally 453 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: we think of this perfect, put together, kind of grizzled 454 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: old Republican who's a lawyer, of course, and he's fought 455 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: a bunch of cases before the Supreme Court, and he 456 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: used to be a congressman down in my area in Florida, 457 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: and he was very well thought of it, and he 458 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: went to Harvard. Did you hear he went to Harvard? Whoa? 459 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: And whoa? And then Yale to Harvard and Yale. Wow, 460 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: that's so amazing. And we think we can just polite 461 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: and nice our way out of this. No, I want 462 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: to disrupt everything. Oh but can't we do it nicely? No, 463 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: you cannot, Otherwise it wouldn't be disruption. So let's do 464 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: some emails and then we'll get to Tulsi Gabbertt. In 465 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: a moment. Before we do those things, let's talk about 466 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: pure Talk speaking about making changes. We don't like to 467 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: make changes when you have a cell phone company, even 468 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: if you don't like it, At and T T Mobile Veriisen. 469 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: You don't like them. You don't like what they do 470 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: with your money. You don't like that they're comy filth. 471 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: But changing it sounds like a pain, doesn't it. It's 472 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: a pain. I don't want to have to change companies. 473 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: Pure Talk practically spoon feeds it to you. You pick 474 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: up your phone, you dial pound two five zero. When 475 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: you say Jesse Kelly, you'll eventually speak to an American 476 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: who speaks English. That person works at Puretalk. They'll be pleasant, 477 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: they'll be polite, your bill will be cut down. You'll 478 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: spend ten minutes on the phone, and you don't even 479 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: have to get a new phone. You don't have to 480 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: get a new number. It's all handled by phone in 481 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: the mail, and you'll pay less on the same five 482 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: G network, and you'll pay a company that shares your 483 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: values ten minutes. We can't take ten minutes to put 484 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: our money where our morals are. Dial pound two five 485 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: zero and say, Jesse Kelly. That saves you an extra 486 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: fifty percent off your first month pound two five zero. 487 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: Say Jesse Kelly, switch to Pure Top. 488 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 5: He doesn't care if you believe him, but he's right, 489 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 5: Jesse Kelly. 490 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: It is the Jesse Kelly Show.

Let's do some emails, Jesse. If Donald Trump 495 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: you up today and asked you to be his White 496 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: House Press secretary, would you do it? He would be 497 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: hilarious watching you destroy all the commy news media press. Anyway, 498 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: Would I do it? I don't. For one, Donald Trump 499 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: is not going to call and ask me. Donald Trump 500 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: is this time focusing on filling up his cabinet with 501 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: Trump loyalists, people who are dyed in the wool. Trump 502 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: people and are ultimately loyal to him, and that's exactly 503 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: what he should do. I'm not complaining about that at all. 504 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: That's what he should do. I am not a Trump loyalist. 505 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: That is not who I am. I'm not a loyalist 506 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: to any politician at all. When Donald Trump is doing 507 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 1: great things, I will come on here and say so. 508 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: When he is doing dumb things, I will come on 509 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: here and say so, and I've done so many times before. 510 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: I do not want to work for him because that 511 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: I would eat have to a set aside my my 512 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: disagreement whenever I had it, and I don't do well 513 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: with that. I do not do well with being told 514 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: what to say and what not to say or be. 515 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: I would take a position he would give me and 516 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: then criticize him from that position, and that is not 517 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: right either. No, I'm not going to be the press secretary, 518 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: and he's not going to ask me to be the 519 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: press secretary. Now. I said all that. I said all that. 520 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: I am very passionate about my country, and I'm very 521 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: passionate about what these communists have done to it, and 522 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: I want to fix it. If you know, I brought 523 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: up Pete Hegseth earlier and how excited I am at 524 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: the prospect of a change in our military and changing 525 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: the direction of this military. When I hear things like this, 526 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: I get extremely excited. 527 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 7: Well, first of all, you got to fire you know, 528 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 7: you got to fire the Chairman and Joint chiefs, and 529 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 7: you got to fire this. I mean, obviously gonna bring 530 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 7: in a new Secretary Defense. But any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, 531 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 7: that was involved in any of the DEI woke, it's 532 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 7: gotta go. Either you're in for war fighting that and 533 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 7: that's it. That's the only litmus test we care about. 534 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 7: You got to get DEI and cert out of military 535 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 7: academy so you're not training young officers to be baptized 536 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 7: in this type of thinking. And then, you know, whatever 537 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 7: the standards, whatever the. 538 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: What if, what if Trump called me up he will 539 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: not do that and said, hey, will you help Pete 540 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: Hegseth clean out the military. I am very happy where 541 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: I am. I don't want to leave, and I don't 542 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: want that phone call. The sense of duty I have 543 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: to my country would make it very very difficult for 544 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: me to say no to something like that. I don't 545 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: think it would be press secretary, because as much fun 546 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: as it would be to go beat up on those 547 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: useless comedies in the newsroom, it's not critical for the 548 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: country itself. Cleaning up the military is critical for the 549 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: country itself. If someone called and said, hey, Jesse, and 550 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: I don't know Matt Gates, right, but if Matt Gates 551 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: called it, he said, hey, Jesse, I want you to 552 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: be in charge of cleaning out the FBI, that would 553 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: be very, very difficult for me to say no to 554 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: because I would feel obligated to my country. But it's 555 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: not gonna happen anyway, So don't worry. I'm not going 556 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: anywhere at all. Like I said, Trump's administration should be 557 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: for hardcore Trump loyalists, of which I am not, and 558 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: that's what he should do. He's doing the right thing, Jesse. 559 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: Great segment about how the Senate leader will be decided, 560 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: just as easy to say a man anyway, can you work? 561 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: Can Trump work around a bad Senate leader? Or will 562 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: this really handicap the whole thing before it gets off 563 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: the ground. No, Look, John Thune is not a disaster 564 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: yet at all. The things that should concern you about 565 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: John Thune are a whipping the votes for Trump's confirmations. 566 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: I think a lot of these people will get confirmed, 567 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: but the most important one, what have I told you 568 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: for a week has been is the most important one 569 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: since the ag AG Nothing comes close to that. Well, 570 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: with the pick of Matt Gates, it is controversial and 571 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: it may be difficult getting that confirmation through. If John 572 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: Thune is the leader of the Senate, not an If 573 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: he's now the Senate majority leader, we are going to 574 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: need him whipping those votes to get confirmations like that through. 575 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,479 Speaker 1: If he fails to do that, that's a bad sign. 576 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: Another bad sign is going to be you see, Donald 577 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: Trump believes he has a mandate. You believe he has 578 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: a mandate. I believe he has a mandate, a mandate 579 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: from the American people to change the direction of this country. 580 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to want to get things done. 581 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: He's that kind of a guy. He wants to get 582 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: things done. Order this, order that, renegotiate this, tariffs on this. Okay, 583 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: all that stuff is fine. Some of those things you'll love, 584 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: some of those things you'll hate. The problem with wanting 585 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: to get things done is that can be a very 586 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: very dangerous game to play in Washington, DC that's full 587 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: of losers and evil people and snakes. What if? What 588 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: if there's a huge border and immigration bill and it 589 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: builds a lot of wall, and it guarantees an expansion 590 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: of ice, all kinds of extra border patrol agents. It 591 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: even allocates all kinds of money to help improve and 592 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: streamline the mass deportation process. It's a big border immigration bill. 593 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: But John Thune is there. He's certainly not an immigration hok, 594 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: and he's gonna have a lot of big business contacts 595 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: that want that border open. So, hey, how about five 596 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: to ten million. You know we've got thirty to forty 597 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: how about five to ten million who are here? What 598 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: if we give them a path to citizenship. They love 599 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: to frame amnesty like that because everyone hates amnesty. What 600 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: if we five I did ten million. What if we 601 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: create this huge border bill, all this border security, but 602 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: without amnesty for We'll call it five million illegals. And 603 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: that's the deal. John Thune negotiates, and boom sets that 604 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: deal on Donald Trump's desk. Donald Trump's sitting there, wants 605 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: to deport, wants to get things done. You're telling me 606 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: he's not gonna sign that bill. You'd bet your mortgage. 607 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: He's not gonna sign that bill. That's the kind of 608 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: stuff that can really really hurt us is if Thune 609 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: starts letting some real poison pills into bills. I didn't 610 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: mean for that to rhyme, but that was cool. If 611 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: he starts letting some poison pills into bills that Donald 612 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: Trump will sign, that's going to be bad. That will 613 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: be bad. And there are Look, there are other problems 614 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: I can't foresee. As of right now. He sounds cool. 615 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: His Republican team is united. We are on one team. 616 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 2: We are excited to reclaim the majority and to get 617 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 2: to work with our colleagues in the House to enact 618 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 2: President Trump's agenda. 619 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: Maybe he's been taking Chalk.
