And 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: perhaps we'll have the airing of grievances coming out at 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 2: the end of the program. But we've got a lot 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: of stuff happening here and one of the most important 14 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: stories that we've seen in our lifetime, let's be honest 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: about this, is the ascendancy of Donald Trump. And he 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: was last night. He was brilliant out in Arizona. He's 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: got so much fight in him. He is ready to 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: really really get this country back on track. And we'll 19 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: let you hear some of the great sound from that. 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: In addition, the Matt Gets Report was dropped out earlier today. 21 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you. I looked at it, 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 2: I consumed a lot of it. And the fact is, 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: when are we going to get all the other reports? 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: And I'm just saying that if you want to be 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: a part of the conversation eight hundred and two A 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: two two eight eight to two, it is a pleasure 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: to be here for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: the Clay and Buck Show. So let's go to last 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: night and this rally that was had, it was it 30 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: was turning point, and it was a marafest, and it 31 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: was all these great things that were happening all at 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 2: the exact same time. And when you think about this 33 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: journey that President Trump has has taken, and this is 34 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: a man who has been vilified, attempted to be murdered 35 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: twice really and and all of the crazy stuff that 36 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: has gone on when this guy could have been could 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: have been just another happy billionaire doing deals, having fun, 38 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, and he has absolutely been 39 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: an incredible machine, and I mean an incredible machine in 40 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: so many ways. Let's take a listen to some of 41 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: this from last night. One of the ones that I 42 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: thought was really important, and we're going to sort of 43 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: maybe go in reverse order a little bit here, so 44 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to cut number eight. He understands what 45 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: the mission is, and he understands that the mission is 46 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: to protect America's border, specially in Arizona where he was 47 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: Cut number eight, And. 48 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: We're going to change it because your border is a disaster. 49 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: Your border is a disaster. 50 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: What's going on and you just. 51 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: Have a few days to wait. We're going to be 52 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: fully operational. I would say by about two o'clock on 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: the twentieth. 54 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: That's amassed. See that's how you do it. You don't 55 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: just say, hey, we're gonna secure the border. Hey, we're 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: gonna get it done. He's laying out a number. He's 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 2: saying two o'clock, two o'clock on that first day, we're 58 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: gonna start working on this. It's gonna be visible, etc. 59 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: Why does that crowd chant or why does that crowd 60 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 2: cheer so loudly for that? Because everybody understands, even these 61 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 2: couple of months removed from the election night itself, everybody 62 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: understands what the major drivers are in this country. And 63 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: one of the things that I was blessed to do 64 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: was to live in New York City for a period 65 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: of time a couple of times, and I enjoyed my 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: time there. But I gotta tell you, with everything that 67 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: has happened in the last twenty four hours, I don't 68 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: understand how there's not a march on City Hall or 69 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: on Albany when you have an absolute demon, and he's 70 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: a demon going onto a an F train platform and 71 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: lighting a sleeping woman on fire, and she was murdered. 72 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: She was murdered in real time, And who is responsible 73 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: for that? Kathy Hockel. Kathy Hochel, I would throw a 74 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: little blame on the system of injustice there in the 75 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: state of New York and in the City of New 76 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: York as well. Where's Alvin Bragg? Is he making statements? 77 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: Is he saying anything? Is he doing anything? No, No, 78 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: he's not. He's all but silent on this particular story. Now, 79 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: you cannot expect society to fix itself when it slides 80 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: as far as it has gone. When you think about 81 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: the direction that this country has gone, and what has 82 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: been done to this country, and by extension, what has 83 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: been done to the American taxpayers, to the American citizens, 84 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: to the legal migrants who have come in. When you 85 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: think about all of the damage that has occurred in 86 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: this city only as a as a as an example. 87 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 2: But you have it in Chicago, you have it in Denver, 88 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: you have it in Aurora, you have it in California, 89 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: you have it in parts of Texas. You have this 90 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: happening and a president who's non copas mentis, who does 91 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: not apparently care about safety and security but for the 92 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 2: people he pardoned in the overnight, which we'll talk about 93 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: as well. But you see Donald Trump come out and 94 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: he is loaded for bear. He is loaded for bear. 95 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: And here's what is so interesting about the way he 96 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 2: came out last night. When he's talking about these different 97 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 2: things that are happening, he uses a very smart term. 98 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: Cut number fourteen, Mike. He talks about what this movement 99 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: is as it relates to the people who put him 100 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: back in office. Cut fourteen. 101 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: Scribe today or just a small preview. The actions I 102 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 3: have described today are just a small preview of the 103 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: common sense revolution, because that's what I call it, a 104 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: common sense revolution that's coming soon to America. 105 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 5: To a theater. 106 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 4: Dat you right, But. 107 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: It's coming to you through your President, Donald J. 108 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: Trump. 109 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: The people have given us their trust, and in. 110 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: Return, we're going to give them the best. 111 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 3: Day one, the biggest first week, and the most extraordinary 112 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: first one hundred days of any president in American history. 113 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: The genius of what Donald Trump is saying and what 114 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 2: he's selling there. He's already got these people supporting him, 115 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: but what he is saying to them in the way 116 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: he does this is to say, I made promises to you. 117 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to fulfill those promises, even the ones that 118 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: are going to be maybe a little bit messy or 119 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: a little bit difficult. But this is a common sense revolution. 120 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: Hearkening back right to the language of Ronald Reagan when 121 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: he came in in nineteen eighty one, after the disaster 122 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: that was Jimmy Carter, after the disaster of all of 123 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: these places that he's gone and seen and been a 124 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: part of. This is a man who understands because of 125 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: where he comes from. And Donald Trump President elect, Donald Trump, 126 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: former President Donald Trump. He remembers the bad old days 127 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: in New York City. He remembers the Dinkin days or 128 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: the Stinkins days. He remembers what happened in the nineteen 129 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: seventies Mayor Lindsay and all of these failing that took place, 130 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: And he saw what happened when you elected Rudy Giuliani 131 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: to become the mayor of the City of New York 132 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: and became America's mayor in large measure. But when you 133 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: see what he did, when you see what he did, 134 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: the transformation that happened, well, that lifted all the boats 135 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: America saw in New York City in that period of time, 136 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: after the degradation in the late nineteen eighties and into 137 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: the very early nineties, America saw this phoenix rise from 138 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: the ashes. And President Trump understands marketing. There's no doubt 139 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: about that. President Trump understands what Americans want and what 140 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: they need. And it's very basic. I said this in 141 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. The candidate Donald Trump was emulating was not 142 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: necessarily a huge expansive sort of campaign that he put together. 143 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 2: He was running like America's mayor. Safe streets, secure border, 144 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: the ability to have a business and not have to 145 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: worry that some crackhead is going to kill you or 146 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: one of your customers, all of that stuff. It's super 147 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: basic and super easy. When you compare what Trump has 148 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: done and you compare what Biden did, you have mirror opposites. 149 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: One of them is pro growth, pro life pro opportunity. 150 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: The other was an America in decline and only only 151 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 2: catering to those who were the biggest perpetrators in declining 152 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: what America was and what America is. So when President 153 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: Trump comes out and gives that speech last night and says, 154 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 2: this is a common sense revolution, everybody understands what common 155 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: sense is because everybody knows that there are people in 156 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 2: their lives who make horrible decisions time and time and 157 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 2: time again, and people just watch these people slide. This 158 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: has got to stop. I would argue, this wasn't just 159 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: a change election that we went through. This is an 160 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: opportunity in one term, with no limits, to change back 161 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: time in this country where you can be safe on 162 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: the streets, where you can be free to start that business, 163 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: where life is important and the quality of life is important. 164 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: Final thought on this very quickly, you saw how many 165 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: gen Z people have come out and supported Donald Trump. 166 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 2: You saw a lot of people coming out who felt 167 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: like they had been left behind. But what is so 168 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: important about what we saw take place in this election. 169 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: It's not difficult at all. We understand what's at stake. 170 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: And those gen Zers were fifth graders and sixth graders, 171 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 2: and seventh graders when they were growing up and they 172 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: saw a good economy, they saw what a vacation felt like. 173 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: They saw all of that, and they paid it back 174 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: because they had the experience of the first term, they 175 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: had the disaster of the Biden term, and they now 176 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: have the hope for the second Trump term.

And I 188 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: like unconventional music by and large. But you know what 189 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: else I like. I like watching people be held to 190 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: account to their hypocrisy. Here's here's what I want to 191 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 2: play for you. This is going to be cut number five. 192 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: Mike. 193 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: Apparently, apparently AOC is worried about the oligarchs here in 194 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: America taking root. 195 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 6: Go Oh, I don't think we're witnessing the start of 196 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 6: an oligarchy. I think we are fully here. You literally 197 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 6: have a completely unelected billionaire who has just taken over 198 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 6: and paused government funding to specifically take out provisions regarding 199 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 6: China and other areas that pertain to him. You have 200 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 6: billionaires who run news outlets like Jeff Bezos and the 201 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 6: Washington Post, billionaires that run the La Times, completely interjecting 202 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 6: into their editorial boards and manipulating what's being written in them. 203 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: Oh boy, I have to unpack this, and I'm going 204 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: to do it very very quickly. AOC is dead wrong. 205 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 2: She's one hundred percent incorrect. If you look at the 206 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: oligarchs in this country right now today, the oligarchs are 207 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: all assembled on the left. Well, because you've got a 208 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 2: couple of billionaires, and you've got somebody who's an inventor, 209 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 2: and you've got somebody else over here who's trying to 210 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: make the country functional and that sort of stuff. No, no, no, 211 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: no, no no no. The overweight is over on the left. 212 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: They are overweighted. If you want to use the oligarchs thing, Okay, 213 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 2: you can. You know, it's it's just one of those 214 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: phrases that seems to not resonate with the American people. 215 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: But what the American people do understand when they look 216 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: at these sort of accusations that come from AOC is 217 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: that the powerful are the universities, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the 218 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: drug cartels, international people who are trying to undermine the 219 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: United States of America, all that sort of stuff. See, 220 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: what she doesn't understand is using the word oligarch does 221 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: not make you sound smarter. It makes you sound like 222 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: you just live by the talking point. With all due 223 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: respect to the congresswoman from New York And by the way, 224 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: I was rooting for you to get the job in 225 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: the House Oversight Committee instead of Jerry Connolly because he's 226 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: like one hundred and seventy nine years old. Now, I 227 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: wanted to see new blood in that so I'm actually 228 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: I'm actually pushing. I was pushing for her to go 229 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: get that job because I wanted to see all the 230 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: great speeches she could give and none of the legislation 231 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: that she would ever submit. But the oligarchs are not 232 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: threats in the United States of America. In the way 233 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: she's trying to sell it to you. The oligarchs are 234 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: the people that control the levers of power. You want 235 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: to know an oligarch, how about somebody who is strong 236 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: enough and powerful enough and famous enough to get rid 237 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden from the ticket, George Clooney, Barack Obama, 238 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: the Clintons, who else? Who else can we throw into 239 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: that pile? Those are the oli garks, if you want 240 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: to use that silly word. These are people who are 241 00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: just just too smart for us. Well, coming up, I'm 242 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: going to let you hear some more from President Trump 243 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: last night.

The reason I'm calling 329 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 5: in is, uh, the Matt Gates nomination, the failed nomination. 330 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 5: I've been pretty upset about the waste of of uh, 331 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 5: the President Trump's efforts, because Matt Gates is bringing a 332 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 5: fair amount of questionable behavior to the office. And I 333 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 5: think it was it was a bad choice. But the 334 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 5: other aspect of it is and whether he's guilty or not. 335 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 5: They threw the mud at him, yes, and he didn't 336 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 5: adequately just uh, what do you call it? Defend himself. 337 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 5: But the other aspect of it is that he President 338 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 5: Trump jeopardized that seed in Florida as I see it 339 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 5: with that nomination. I just I don't know why he 340 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 5: wasn't better informed on that move. 341 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 2: Well, you know, sometimes when you're negotiating, you will you 342 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: want people to believe that you know, you're going to 343 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: go down a particular road and then see how it 344 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: reacts and if it doesn't, if it doesn't play out 345 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 2: that and so be it. I I don't understand, you 346 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: know who made that ultimate decision. I'm going to assume 347 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: it's the president elect that that made that ultimate decision. 348 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 7: Uh. 349 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 2: But when when you look at what is to come, 350 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: you may end up with with somebody getting getting a 351 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: much stronger hand because of him getting blown out of 352 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: that spot, if you know what I'm saying, Like Pam 353 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: Bondy right, so she's she's going to be effective. I 354 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: think Cash Patel is going to end up clearing I'm 355 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: not I'm not super concerned about those those picks. But 356 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 2: you also have a Senate seat that is now going 357 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: to go to somebody. And the one thing I don't 358 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: think Gates would would would run for that for that job. 359 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: But I do think that whoever runs to be the 360 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: Senator coming out of the state of Florida, they're gonna 361 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: have to be squeaky clean because, uh, the people on 362 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 2: the left do not stop. They they will go right 363 00:22:58,720 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: up the chain. 364 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 8: Uh. 365 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 2: As far as they possibly can until they're dissuaded. Now, 366 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: one of the things that I thought was interesting, and 367 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: thank you very much for the call today, was a 368 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 2: real pleasure to speak with you. When you look at 369 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: the Gates Report, most of this stuff, and this is 370 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 2: not to defend or anything like that, but most of 371 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: the stuff seems to have stopped in twenty twenty. So 372 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: it is twenty twenty four. I don't know what was 373 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: going on in that intervening time, but as I was 374 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 2: reading that before the program began today, I said to myself, Okay, 375 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: what is this going to do? How is this going 376 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: to manifest? Is this going to be a big deal? Well, 377 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: Birchett the congressman. Congressman Virchette from Tennessee said, look, this 378 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: is a report, so anybody can make a report, anybody 379 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 2: can make an allegation, anybody can do those sorts of things. 380 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 2: And when we come back here in just a couple 381 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: of moments, I want to expand this conversation about this 382 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 2: this Gates Report, with an eye towards something else that 383 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: also needs to be investigated. So we're gonna grab a 384 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: break here real quick, We're gonna come back. I'm gonna 385 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 2: finish this up little story out coming up in the 386 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 2: next hour. Right out of the box. We're gonna be 387 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 2: visited by a great friend of mine. He is Michael Wattley, 388 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: RNC chair co chair with Laura Trump, and we're gonna 389 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 2: have a nice conversation about everything that went on in 390 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks and the look forward. So 391 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 2: don't go away. I'm Brent Wodable.

It's great to be with 398 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: you today as we get right into the reason for 399 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: this season and the Christmas holiday that's coming up here. 400 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: It's you know, it's just such a great time to 401 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: be alive, especially to see all the stuff that's happening 402 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 2: and the greatness that this country is going to once 403 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: again get at. So when we were talking about the 404 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: Gates Report, and I said that, Congressman Burchett said, you know, 405 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 2: it's a report, it's twenty twenty is the cutoff of 406 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: these allegations. That's worth noting stuff, right, I mean, it's 407 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 2: important to see how that all plays out. But but 408 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety seven, the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights 409 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 2: has paid out eighteen point two million dollars to settle 410 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 2: two one hundred and ninety one cases of workplace disputes 411 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 2: for Congress, the Capitol Police, the Ark of the Capitol, 412 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: and the Library of Congress. So eighteen point two million 413 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: because people were being harassed sexually probably, and who knows 414 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 2: how else they were being maltreated by people that you 415 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: would expect more from, right, the guardians of the democracy, 416 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: as they always say, the guardians of the democracy. Andrew 417 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: Andrew Juiceki, who unfortunately passed away back back in August, 418 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 2: young guy fifty five years old. He had an operation 419 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: that he was running called I don't mean an operation 420 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 2: like a medical I mean an organization called Open the 421 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 2: Books and you you could look them up and you 422 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 2: could look into these different things. He was adamant about saying, Okay, 423 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: let's not just pick and choose who were going to 424 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: target for a violation of ethics. Let's see where the 425 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: money is going. Remember the eighteen point two million dollars 426 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: Congressional slush fund originally kind of caught fire during the 427 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 2: me too movement. Since nineteen ninety seven, the Office of 428 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 2: Congressional Workplace Rights paid out eighteen point two million dollars 429 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 2: to settle twenty one cases of workplace disputes for Congress, 430 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: the Capitol Police, the Architect of the Capital, the Library 431 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 2: of Congress. As I mentioned, when the news first broke 432 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: of the settlement account, Congress was accused of having a 433 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 2: veritable me too slush fund to secretly pay off victims 434 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: of sexual harassment. Reports surfaced that then Representative John Conyers, 435 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 2: Democrat from Michigan, negotiated a secret settlement with a female 436 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: staffer who accused him of sexual misconduct, and the eighty 437 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 2: eight year old quickly resigned from the Congress. Turned out 438 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: turned out, Kanyer's congressional office budget paid out his sexual 439 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 2: misconduct settlement, meaning that that total wasn't even included in 440 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: the multimillion dollar slush fund reported total. Slowly, it emerged 441 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 2: that the fund appropriated by Congress annually included payouts for 442 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: workplace safety and pay disputes in addition to sexual harassment. Claims, 443 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: though many specifics were not reported go Figure until June 444 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 2: eighteenth of fiscal year twenty eighteen. Two senator's offices and 445 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: five House members' offices had claims filed against them. An 446 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: additional House member's office had a case filed against it 447 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: from June nineteenth through December twenty nineteen. Out of the 448 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 2: total twenty filed, so there were twenty filings, though thirty 449 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 2: two allegations of sex gender pregnancy discrimination were filed in 450 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: fiscal year twenty eighteen and twenty eight were still filed 451 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. It's not known if those types of 452 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: discrimination or harassment cases were against congressional offices or other 453 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: offices under the fund, but they did. Note a twenty 454 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 2: nineteen report, sixteen employees were paid a total of six 455 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: hundred thousan three hundred and sixty three dollars in settlements. 456 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 2: While twenty claims were filed, just sixteen appear to have 457 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 2: been filed by a protected class sex gender pregnancy, three 458 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: under the National origin and four under disability, and six 459 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: under race or color. Twenty three years and eighteen million 460 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 2: dollars in payouts from the Workplace Rights Office seems taxpayers 461 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 2: might have a right to open those books and to 462 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 2: look at those books. That's what Andrew Juski was doing 463 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: back when he passed away. He wanted the books opened 464 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: so we knew where the money was being spent and 465 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 2: who was responsible for these violations. Because let's be honest here, folks, 466 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty four, twenty eighteen, six years ago, twenty nineteen, 467 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: five years ago, and these cases that are being alleged 468 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 2: with Matt Gates were in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, 469 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 2: so obviously we're still in an eligible window of these 470 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 2: cases coming forward. But remember two hundred and ninety one cases. 471 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: Did you see a list? Did you see a list 472 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: of any kind? No, we got the Gates report. Where 473 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: are the other reports? What did Nancy Pelosi cover up? 474 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: What did what did anybody else cover up? I mean, 475 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: this is the reason why people have doubts about the 476 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 2: people who serve our country. And the fact of the 477 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 2: matter is, this is an abuse of power in a 478 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 2: significant way that should never have been but but is now. 479 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: And you know, maybe these people are still serving, Maybe 480 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: these people are still in the picture, Maybe these people 481 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 2: are still paying out, and maybe there are people who 482 00:31:53,560 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: are still being abused. Absolutely atrocious. When you see this 483 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: and when you understand what we're looking at, well, wouldn't 484 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: you want it known if you were to send up 485 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: a young person to work as a page in the 486 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: capital or to go in and be an intern in 487 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 2: the capitol. Washington, DC is dangerous enough. The city itself 488 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 2: is very violent. You wouldn't want your loved ones to 489 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 2: walk the streets late at night. But are they any 490 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 2: safer walking the halls of the Congress. We know one 491 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: thing for a fact.
