Speaker 9: Welcome Jad, thank you very much. And politics is tough,

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 9: and it's many cases not a very nice world, but

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 9: it is a nice world today. And I appreciate very

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 9: much a transition that's so smooth.

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 6: It'll be as smooth as you can get. And I

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 6: very much appreciate that.

31
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: You You will notice how he said welcome back. And

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I said this earlier. I have

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: not seen Biden that happy since you put on that

34
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Maga hat.

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed cordial, Michelle.

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: And also, this is what our country is all about,

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 3: the peaceful transfer of power, passing the torch.

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 5: I agree, and that's what it was. It was unity.

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Also talking about transitions. Some big announcements as Trump continues

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: to roll out his nominations, and I'll tell you what

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: this one had a lot of people, I want to

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: say surprised. Matt Gates for Attorney General. That's the most

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: recent announcement. We also have Marco Rubio for Secretary of State.

44
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Vote your reaction to Congressman Gates, Well.

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: First of all, I love the Rubio pick.

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be outstanding, first Latino person

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: to hold this position. I know I'm not talking about

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: in an identity politics, since I just think he's the

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: right man for the job. Gates has been a firebrand

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: in the House. He's a principled person Ultramaga Uber Magas,

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: So I'm very curious how he takes his role as AG.

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: I think that's very interesting.

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 5: Michelle, Yeah, one hundred percent.

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Also happening today, we have the race for Senate Majority leader.

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: Yep, John Thune has been elected as Senate GOP leader

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: after a secret ballot vote. MAGA was hoping for Senator

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: Rick Scott of Florida, but he was eliminated in the

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: first round.

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, MAGA definitely was rooting for Rick Scott. With fears

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: of a divided party under Thoon, that's the big concern

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: right now. Senate GOP Conference chare Tom Cotton issued a

62
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: statement in support of Trump, trying.

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 5: To ease some of those concerns.

64
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 10: We're working with Sara Thone and the rest of this

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 10: leadership team. I'm very grateful for the confidence that my

66
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 10: peers placed in me. We all remember what it was

67
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 10: like when President Trump was in office and we had

68
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 10: Republicans in charge the Senate. We had low prices, we

69
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 10: had high wages, we had a secure border, we had

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 10: a strong military. We had a peaceful, stable world. Starting

71
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 10: on January third, that's what we're all be working to

72
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 10: build again with President Trump.

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: With Mike Johnson, and.

74
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 10: The rest of the House Republicans on behalf of the

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 10: American people.

76
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 11: Thank you all.

77
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: It's something we're going to have to wait and see

78
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: if we can see what happens there. For more on

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: all of this, let's bring in geopolitical analyst Brandon Weikert. Brandon,

80
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being with us on special report.

81
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 12: Thanks for having me. It's good to be here.

82
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 5: It's great to have you.

83
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction first and foremost to

84
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Trump and Biden sitting together in the Oval office today,

85
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: and as Bow mentioned, something unifying in a sense, it

86
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: seemed very peaceful.

87
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 13: It did almost like Biden was secretly quite happy with

88
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 13: the result. You know, maybe that's what the Democrats get

89
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 13: for shiving him in the eleventh hour.

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 12: You know, I wonder if he actually might have him and.

91
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 13: His wife voted for Trump, possibly, you know, just out

92
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 13: of spite.

93
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, that's true.

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: Well, you know, during remarks today following the vote, Senate

95
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: majority leader thun vowed to ram through Trump's cabinet nominees

96
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: very quickly. That's a quote, so they can begin to

97
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: implement Trump's agenda. Take a look and when it comes

98
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: to choosing nominees who will pass to confirmation. Well, as

99
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: you know, the Senate has an advice and consent role

100
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: or the Constitution, so we will do everything we can

101
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: to process his noms quickly, get them installed.

102
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: In their positions so they can begin to implement this agenda.

103
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: So i'd like to get some of your reactions to

104
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: these latest picks, including Matt Gates, Pete Hegseth, Tulci, Gabbard, Vveck,

105
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: and E.

106
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 7: Lawn.

107
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: Which ones are have you been most excited about and

108
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 3: which ones may even give you some pause.

109
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 13: My favorite one so far has been Pete Hegseth. I

110
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 13: think that's a brilliant pick. He's a guy who's been

111
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 13: in the combat zones that we've been engaged in for

112
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 13: twenty years. He's a he's a decorated war hero, obviously

113
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 13: a very popular media person as well. But he is

114
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 13: a guy who understands the Defense Department. I was watching

115
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 13: his interview with one of the podcasts I think it

116
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 13: was Sean Ryan's show. It was probably the most in

117
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 13: depth interview I've seen him give. And not only is

118
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 13: he somebody who's been there, but he understands the policy.

119
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 13: You know, world as well, talking about hypersonic weapons development

120
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 13: and things that I spend my day talking about. So

121
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 13: he's a great pick, and he's MAGA, and that's that's

122
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 13: the most important thing here. You know, Elon as well,

123
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 13: Elon and Vivek heading this government accountability arm for all

124
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 13: the people worried that the Republicans in the Senate are

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 13: going to get very squishy under Thunes leadership. I would

126
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 13: just say it's a different ballgame now than it was

127
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 13: in twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen. Elon has already apparently

128
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 13: threatened to primary any Republican in the Senate that challenge

129
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 13: just Trump's picks for cabinet or that tries to push

130
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 13: back on any of these key MAGA preferred legispieces of

131
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 13: legislation that are gonna.

132
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 12: Be coming down the pike.

133
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 13: So I think this is going to be a different

134
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 13: ballgame entirely, and I'm frankly, I'm excited about the whole thing.

135
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 13: America is becoming a better place already.

136
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Magan was hoping for Rick Scott to be GOP leader,

137
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: and as you have mentioned, Thune has been anti Trump

138
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: in the past. Now they've talked about the fact that

139
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: they buried the hatchet. They moved on from that, everyone

140
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: reassuring that they're going to move forward with a MAGA agenda.

141
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: You think that Thune will be a good pick.

142
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 13: Here, Well, I look, it's not a question whether he's

143
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 13: a what I preferred. I mean, I'm a Floridian, so

144
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 13: I always stick with my fellow Floridians. I preferred Scott,

145
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 13: but I think Thune and Barrosso, who's the number two.

146
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 13: Last week in Politico, was quoted as saying he's going

147
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 13: as number two, going to push through whatever cabinet picks

148
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 13: Trump wants, including RFK Junior, and I suspect Barrasso was

149
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 13: speaking on behalf of Thune. That was sort of a

150
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 13: signal to Trump that hey, I'm not your enemy. And

151
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 13: I also think the Republicans in the Senate they care

152
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 13: about two things. They care about the vote that they

153
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 13: get to stay in power, and they care about money.

154
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 13: And right now with Elon threatening them with money and

155
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 13: if they don't comply, and then also with the fact

156
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 13: that so many Republican voters want the Trump agenda to succeed,

157
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 13: they're boxed in. This isn't like twenty sixteen, where Trump

158
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 13: didn't really have a mandate. He won both the electoral

159
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 13: vote and the large number of the popular votes, so

160
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 13: this is a totally different ballgame.

161
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: Now, Brandon, there are two big wars that we are

162
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: watching right now as Trump takes office. You've got Ukraine, Russia,

163
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: and of course Israel Hamas. What do you think is

164
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: the best path towards peace under a Trump presidency.

165
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 13: Well, the lynchpin for all of these problems, whether it

166
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 13: be obviously Europe, whether it be the Greater Middle East

167
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 13: with Iran, whether it be solving the Korean crisis, or

168
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 13: whether it be containing China, the lynchpin is Russia.

169
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 12: And nobody in DC wants to talk about this.

170
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 13: But I believe in the first one hundred days of

171
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 13: the Trump administration we will get at the very least

172
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 13: to cease fire with Russia over Ukraine, and then suddenly

173
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 13: the crisis in the Middle East will go away because

174
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 13: Russia backs Iran. I also think that the crisis in

175
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 13: the North Korean with North Korea will go away, and

176
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 13: that Trump will get his deal, his big beautiful deal

177
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 13: with Kim Jong il, because Russia won't be paying North

178
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 13: Korea to go to war in Ukraine for them. If

179
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 13: the Ukraine War is over, and then of course the

180
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 13: big one Russia marrying to China's growing power. They're only

181
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 13: doing that because of the Ukraine War. If the Ukraine

182
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 13: War is over and they've walked away with the parts

183
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 13: that they've coveted, Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, there's no reason

184
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 13: for Russia to be so close with China, and then

185
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 13: those natural rivalries between China and Russia will erupt and

186
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 13: that will give us all the leverage we need to exploit.

187
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: Well, you're a geopolitical analyst. I just can't imagine Ukraine

188
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: ending this thing and getting everything that they want. I mean,

189
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: obviously we're sending tons of money over there right now,

190
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: Lensky continues to ask for more. I mean, what do

191
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: you think is ultimately going to happen with Ukraine and

192
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: all of this. I mean, I'm assuming there is going

193
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: to be some sort of.

194
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 13: Concession there is Basically, there's one more tranch of cash.

195
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 13: It sounds like that Biden's going to stuff in the

196
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 13: coffers of Ukraine. That money will be blown through pretty quickly.

197
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 13: It will not make a difference. The Russians are going

198
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 13: to bleed the Ukrainian military dry, what will happen is

199
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 13: once Trump is inaugurated in what sixty eight days, he

200
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 13: will basically cut off aid to Ukraine if they don't

201
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 13: comply in getting a ceasefire. He will then kick Ukraine

202
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 13: to the Europeans for them to solve The Europeans will

203
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 13: not solve it. They will also cut off Ukraine if

204
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 13: they know we are and then basically Zelenski will be

205
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 13: bt with a choice. He can either basically fight to

206
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 13: the death and he will die, or he can sit

207
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 13: down at a big, beautiful table with Putin and Trump

208
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 13: and the European leadership and hash out and negotiated ceasefire.

209
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 13: And I suspect that's what's going to happen at the

210
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 13: end of the day, because Zelenski is not suicidal.

211
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: Well, Brendan, the press continues to spread the narrative that

212
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: Trump causes conflict. I'd like to get your take on

213
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: why that's incorrect and perhaps how a Secretary Rubio, with

214
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: his rhetoric about hamas and wanting to stamp them out,

215
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: how that could shape the policy in the Middle East.

216
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 13: Well, Trump has proven there were no new wars under

217
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 13: Trump when he was first president. That I mean the

218
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 13: minute literally almost the minute he left office in twenty

219
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 13: twenty one, we had like two or three crisis crises

220
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 13: breaking out everywhere around the world. I mean, all of

221
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 13: Eurasia is a flame right now because of the failed

222
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 13: Biden Kamala Harris policies. And so you know, Trump coming in,

223
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 13: I guarantee you the world within two years, his first

224
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 13: two years will be so different in terms of what

225
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 13: you know, peace and war, that we're not even going

226
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 13: to remember how bad things were right now. I mean

227
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 13: we are literally staring down the brink, if not already

228
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 13: in the beginnings of World War three. And I think

229
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 13: that basically overnight Trump's going to be able to reverse

230
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 13: this course with Marco Rubio. And again, I'm a Floridian,

231
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 13: and I knew Marco when I worked down the hill.

232
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 13: I knew all these guys with the Florida delegation. I

233
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 13: knew Susie Wilds too a little bit. Marco is a

234
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 13: solid pick, brilliant pick. He's tough, He's got a lot

235
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 13: of connections with a part of the party that Trump

236
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 13: doesn't have. But Margarot Rubio is not a fire breathing

237
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 13: neo conservative. He's not an advocate of regime change and

238
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 13: democracy promotion. He is a tough guy and he understands

239
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 13: tyranny because he comes from the Cuban community here, and

240
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 13: so I think he's a great pick. And I think

241
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 13: it's going to be peace through strength.

242
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 12: That's just what we'll need.

243
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's exactly what we need right now. Tough representation.

244
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for being with.

245
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 14: Us, Thanks for having me of yours as always.

246
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: Well, coming out breaking today's special counsel Jack Smith plans

247
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: to resign prior to President electrom taking office in January.

248
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: What does this say about the weaponization of.

249
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: The Justice Department against political enemies? We find out more

250
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: coming up next.

251
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: All right, well, welcome back to Special Report. The Unconstitutional

252
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team are expected to

253
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: resign before President elect Trump takes office in January, and

254
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 4: you're starting to see the sham political lawsuits against the

255
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: president start to crumble. For discussion, let's bring in former

256
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 4: US Navy jag officer, constitutional attorney and best selling author

257
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: Don Brown. Don, thank you so much for joining us, ladies.

258
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 7: I'm honored to be here. It's a great week and

259
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 7: good to see you both.

260
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: Great to see you so tell us what's your reaction

261
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: to Jack Smith resigning.

262
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 7: You know, it's interesting. I had an article published in

263
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 7: The Federalist yesterday on this, and Jack Smith resigning is

264
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 7: a first off, he doesn't want to get something the

265
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 7: opportunity to fire him. But there's another motive here, and

266
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 7: you know the he had lost there in Palm Beach

267
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 7: on a constitutional challenged his appointment violated the appointment's clause

268
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 7: of the Constitution. He applied, he appealed that to the

269
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 7: Eleventh Circuit, hoping eventually give it the Supreme Court. And

270
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 7: I think he doesn't want to give the Eleventh Circuit

271
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 7: the opportunity to come in and affirm what Judge Cannon

272
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 7: has said that his appointment was illegitimate. That will be

273
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 7: a federal appeal circuit. So he's trying to get out

274
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 7: while the getting's good, ladies. And this goes even farther

275
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 7: than the Jack Smith because Robert Muller's got a problem too.

276
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 7: Robert Muller also was not appointed legitimately. There was no

277
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 7: special counsel statute. In effect, you've got to have it

278
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 7: under the appointments clause of the Constitution. It wasn't an effect.

279
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 7: Justice Thomas gave the signal to Judge Cannon, and she

280
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 7: dismissed the case. And by the way, every prosecution under

281
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 7: Muller's Russia hoax investigation should be vacated, from Roger Stone

282
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 7: to General Flynn, to Papadopoulos to Manifford. Every one of

283
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 7: those or illegitimate prosecutions because they were brought by an

284
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 7: illegitimate prosecutor. Say, jas mess is pulling your ripcord before

285
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 7: the Eleventh Circuit can validate Judge Cannon's correct decision that

286
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 7: his appointment was illegal and unconstitutional. But it's good to

287
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 7: see all these things crumbling, and every day becomes a

288
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 7: little bit brighter and brighter, and the coffee smells better

289
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 7: and better every morning as we moved toward January twentieth.

290
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I love seeing Matt Gage nominated for the.

291
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 15: AG two Don, But I want to talk about the

292
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 15: book that you recently published. It's a number one on

293
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 15: Amazon bestsellers, so congratulations to you, Don.

294
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 11: It's titled Kangaroo Cord.

295
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 15: How yeah, how dirty prosecutors and sleezy lawyers destroy political opponents,

296
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,479
Speaker 15: attack free speech, and subvert the constitution.

297
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 11: So tell us about your book.

298
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 15: And I know that it's dedicated to our very own

299
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 15: Steve Bannett and Peter Navarro. So tell us about your

300
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 15: new book that was just released.

301
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 7: Well, Kangaroo Cord, and thank you for the opportunity to chat.

302
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 7: I've been on is a study of the way the

303
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 7: Democrats have used political prosecutions really over the last three years,

304
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 7: with infrequency increasing frequency, all the way up to and

305
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 7: including the the Trump prosecutions. And I look at the

306
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 7: Trump prosecutions in the last third of the book. But

307
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 7: I want everybody to know that this has become a

308
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 7: common tactic of the Democrats to prosecute their political opponents,

309
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 7: not just politicians, but regular Americans like a Douglas Mackie,

310
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 7: the cartoonists down there in the Palm Beach area who

311
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 7: did an anti Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, got prosecuted

312
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty one when clearly he was protected by

313
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 7: the First Amendment. Or we talked about you know pro

314
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 7: life fathers Paul Bond from Tennessee and Marcu from Philadelphia,

315
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 7: who were prosecuted by the Biden DOJ in retaliation for

316
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 7: Scotus reversing Rovers's wade. So but they prosecuted Perry, the

317
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 7: governor of Texas for a veto and a bill. They

318
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 7: prosecuted Ted Stevens from Alaska and that case was thrown

319
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 7: out from prosecutor's conduct. They have prosecuted the governor of Virginia,

320
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 7: Bob McDonald reverse eight to zero by the Supreme Court,

321
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 7: the very same Jack Smith. They have used these tactics

322
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 7: over and over. So we look at about twenty five

323
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 7: cases they brought leading up to the Trump case. The

324
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 7: Trump cases, I should say, and I made the argument

325
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 7: of these guys like Jack Smith, Vanny Willison, Alvin Bright,

326
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 7: they ought to be prosecuted. Now it's hard to prosecute

327
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 7: him right now because you don't have the teeth to

328
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 7: do it. I saw Mike Davis the other day was

329
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 7: going after Letitia James, and I applaud Mike Davis's remarks there.

330
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 7: But he's saying, prosecute him for conspiracy against rights. There

331
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 7: is a crime for that, but it takes two more folks.

332
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 7: We need rogue prosecutor law so that Congress can pass

333
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 7: a law that if any prosecutor brings a case primarily

334
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 7: for political purposes, which is a direct assault against the

335
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 7: United States Constitution and against the justicism, that prosecutor in

336
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 7: retrospect ought to be subject to prosecution himself. So the

337
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 7: book makes that argument at the close. I hope everybody

338
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 7: will buy it and pass out ten copies. We need

339
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 7: to get the story out of what the Democrats have done,

340
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 7: and I hope it does some good.

341
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, don I'm certainly excited to read your book. And

342
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but I haven't stopped smiling

343
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 4: since November fifth, since Trump got elected and seeing all

344
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,239
Speaker 4: of these Republican rock stars that he has been assembling

345
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: as his dream team administration has been exciting as well.

346
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: So do you think that the FBI and just this

347
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: department will be held accountable under this incoming Trump administration?

348
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 7: I sure think that Matt Gates, Matt Gates is going

349
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 7: to come in with a pitchfork. He winds up becoming

350
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 7: Attorney General and just clean that bunch of scum smelling prosecute,

351
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 7: you know, political prosecutors and deep state bureaucrats out of

352
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 7: the DJ I think, you know, you know, the director

353
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 7: of the FBI to go ahead and resign also because

354
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 7: he's gonna get so he's gonna get fired so fast

355
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 7: to make your head spin. And I think that the

356
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 7: President is now picking his people who share his America

357
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 7: first philosophy. He isn't making the same mistakes that he

358
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 7: made on personnel selection the first time because he just

359
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 7: didn't know. Now he knows. He's been through the fire.

360
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 7: And ironically he will be leaving officers right about now

361
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 7: heading sole the last election. But they stole the last election.

362
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 7: He's coming back in with far greater man than he's

363
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 7: ever had before. It's just an exciting time. We got

364
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 7: to keep him in prayer between now and the nomination

365
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 7: and the excuse me, and the inauguration and on beyond that.

366
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 7: But I think there is going to be a huge

367
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 7: house cleaning and in the Department of Defense too. Tara

368
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 7: and I have a friend named Pete Hedgseth that is

369
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 7: going to be our next Secreary Defense And I'm just

370
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 7: beating from ear to ear. You can say goodbye to

371
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 7: welcome in the military. And if you're Obama or Obama

372
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 7: admiral general or a Biden admiral general, you may as

373
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 7: well resign now because you're going to get fired. We're

374
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 7: going to bring warriors back.

375
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, it was a great selection to see Pete in there. John,

376
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 15: what would you recommend on really kind of reforming the DOJ.

377
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 15: You know, I guess personally, I'd like to see dismantling

378
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 15: of the FBI and turn it over to the States

379
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 15: Joint Terrors and task forces, raise up the US marshalls.

380
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 15: Do you think that there is a way that you

381
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 15: could really reform a lot of these intelligence agencies like

382
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 15: the CIA, FBI.

383
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 11: And then really reform the DJ. What would you do.

384
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 7: Well with the OJA. You've got to first of all,

385
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 7: go in and buyre the career prosecutors, and I poured

386
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 7: out this is my book. Even back in twenty twenty,

387
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 7: Bill Barr, with all the philosophy, had went to Hillsdale

388
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 7: College on Constitution Day and pointing out that we've got

389
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 7: a problem with for up, we are prosecutors who are

390
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 7: political prosecutors, and the DJ we've got to identify and

391
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 7: we've got to fire them. And when you get just

392
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 7: beyond a DJ, we've got to have civil service reforms

393
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 7: so we can fire bureaucrats, because see, you know, the

394
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 7: president and fire people right at the top. At ninety

395
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 7: five percent of these three million bureaucns. Bureaucrats can't be touched.

396
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 7: The Republican Congress must move immediately to weeken these civil

397
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 7: service laws so we can go in and clean house.

398
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 7: And that's got to happen from.

399
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 15: A broad standpoint, Yes, thanks Don, But before we go,

431
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: he continues to assemble the dream team of conservatives heading

432
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 4: to DC. So far, there's been some big names like

433
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: Elon Musk and Veak Ramaswami. They'll be running the Department

434

Speaker 4: of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE. Stephen Miller is

435

Speaker 4: coming back. He'll be Homeland Security Advisor and Deputy Chief

436

Speaker 4: He is going to be Secretary of Defense. That was

438
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: certainly an interesting pick. We want to welcome real America

439
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: voices very owned Jack Pasovic, the host of Human Events. Jack,

440
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 4: thank you so much for being with us. There was

441
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 4: some breaking news before our show, a couple more picks

442
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: and the Trump admin we know, Tulsei Gabbard, Director of

443
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: National Intelligence, and Matt Gates Attorney General. So what's your

444
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 4: reaction to all of these?

445
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 17: Well, Emilee, what can I say? First of all, it's

446
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 17: great to always be on with you. Folks don't know

447
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 17: that Emily and I have been working together.

448
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: We little bit of history way back.

449
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 17: And the news that just broke about Donald Trump nominating

450
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 17: Matt Gates as attorney general is essentially a thermonuclear warhead

451
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 17: on the deep state. Official Washington right now is absolutely reeling.

452
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 17: Republican old guard Democrats alike. They are exasperated. They can't

453
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 17: even begin to answer questions. My phone absolutely blew up.

454
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 17: Is this serious? You can't believe this. There's no way

455
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 17: he would actually do it. Oh, he's done it because

456
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 17: we're in the find out part of the equation. You see,

457
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 17: they mess around with Donald Trump, and now it's time

458
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 17: for him to get his two cents in. So you

459
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 17: worried about law fair, you were worried about the weaponization

460
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 17: of government, well, guess what. There was an ABC headline

461
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 17: I think in twenty twenty three that said something along

462
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 17: the lines of Donald Trump's unorthodox method of running for government.

463
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 17: His proposition elected me to get revenge on the government.

464
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: That's what the ABC headline was.

465
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 17: He's done that, He's actually declared war on the deep

466
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 17: state itself.

467
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 4: Well, there certainly has been a lot of criticism from

468
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 4: the mainstream media. I don't think that's going to stop

469
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 4: anytime soon. But Jack, I know he doesn't care. He

470
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 4: doesn't he doesn't care at all. Yeah, and that was

471
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 4: the time for action. But we know that you have

472
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 4: been over at mar Lago. You've seen some of these

473
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 4: Republican rock stars. You know, I'm going to call them

474
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 4: rock stars because I love rock and roll. But you've

475
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 4: seen them, you know, walking around going in to talk

476
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 4: with the president. Were you surprised by any of these picks?

477
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: I'll put it this way.

478
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 17: You know, it's something where I knew that there had

479
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 17: been a layer of Look, the establishment, the old Guard,

480
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 17: they were really trying to get their hooks into this administration.

481
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 17: They were putting up various players for Attorney jef Le,

482
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 17: various players for DNI, for Homeland Security, all of these

483
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 17: various different positions, and Trump, essentially he's a man of

484
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 17: his own mind. Tom Homan there as the borders are

485
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 17: Matt Gates now as Attorney General, this by the way,

486
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 17: and to answer the question that Pete Heggs set the

487
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 17: course as well, So to answer the question that is

488
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 17: on a lot of people's minds, what will become of

489
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 17: the confirmation process, because of course the cabinet positions all

490
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 17: must be confirmed, including D and I with Tilsea Gabbard

491
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 17: by the way, so the U and her of course

492
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 17: having to be to be confirmed by a Republican Senate.

493
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 17: She's only been a Republican for a couple of weeks,

494
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 17: I think at this point, had been former Democrat Chair

495
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 17: of the part vice chair of the Party.

496
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: And so this is why.

497
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 17: So two things first, this is why President Trump had

498
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 17: been saying he wanted those recess appointments because he knew

499
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 17: that there were and we knew that there would be

500
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 17: some picks that were maybe a little bit unpalatable to

501
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 17: some of the members of the old Guard in the

502
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 17: Republican Senate. That's why he's pushing for these recess appointments

503
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 17: because if done correctly, they could last for up to

504
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 17: two years in that position, essentially as an acting role.

505
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 17: Then also in addition, I would just say to the

506
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 17: members of the Senate who have problems with this, I'm

507
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 17: happy to provide a list of every single one of

508
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 17: you that voted for Merrick Garland, who is the current

509
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 17: Democrat attorney general that is throwing pro lifers in jail,

510
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 17: who's throwing people who simply attended the January sixth event

511
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 17: and were walking around the Capitol. Who's thrown them languishing

512
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 17: behind prison bars? And all of you had no problem

513
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 17: whatsoever voting.

514
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: For that man.

515
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 17: So I can't imagine that you'd have a problem voting

516
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 17: for Donald Trump's pick for attorney general.

517
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: Well, Jake, I think this is a good segue into

518
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 4: my next question.

519
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 11: Here.

520
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: It was a crazy, busy news day. We know that

521
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 4: John Thune he was elected as Senate majority leader. Now

522
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 4: in MAGA worlds, a lot of people were hoping for

523
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 4: Rick Scott, So I think some people were a little disappointed.

524
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 4: But what is your reaction. I mean, we have the presidency,

525
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 4: we have the Senate, we have the House. It is

526
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: a t'srime opportunity to get a lot done. Do you

527
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 4: think that John Thune is up to the challenge.

528
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 17: Well, I think that the state of North Carolina went

529
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 17: for Donald Trump by something like sixty four percent. So

530
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 17: I certainly hope that John Thune, as the Senator from

531
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 17: North Carolina, excuse me, North Dakota, would respect the people

532
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 17: of his state and their wishes in enacting the Trump agenda. Now,

533
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 17: he says that he's going to enact the Trump Agenda,

534
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 17: and I certainly hope.

535
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: That he holds true to his word. Yes, it's well,

536
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: I'll be there as well.

537
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 4: Seems pretty promising and optimistic when he spoke today. Now

538
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 4: I want to get your take on this as well.

539
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: I want to see if you think Biden is going

540
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: to hold true to his word of a peaceful transfer

541
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 4: of power. We know that Trump and Biden met at

542
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: the White House today and it was surprisingly a really

543
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 4: pleasant conversation. Biden actually shook his hands, said welcome back.

544
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 4: So what did you think of that?

545
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: And it was interesting.

546
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 17: Biden seemed more relieved than I've seen him all year.

547
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 17: I mean, look at the way he was treated by

548
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 17: his own party. Look at the animosity which has been

549
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 17: just spilling out into public now between himself Joe Biden

550
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 17: and Kamala Harris, the rest of the party, Barack Obama.

551
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 17: So this is two times now that Barack Obama has

552
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 17: stabbed Joe Biden in the back, once in obviously this

553
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 17: year and pulling him from the nomination and then working

554
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 17: behind the scenes to give it to Kamala Harris.

555
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: And then remember this.

556
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 17: He had done the same thing back in twenty sixteen

557
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 17: when Joe Biden was the sitting vice president and then

558
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 17: Barack Obama would not endorse him and essentially threw his

559
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 17: support behind Hillary Clinton, which is something another time that

560
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 17: Biden also felt that he was stabbed in the back.

561
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 17: So someone who's been so mistreated by his own party.

562
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: Someone who is so maligned, shoved to the side.

563
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 17: You almost felt like he was kind of happy to

564
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 17: hand it over to Trump just as sort of a

565
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 17: final reprisal to Barack Obama and that new wing of

566
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 17: the Democrats to see them absolutely go down in flames.

567
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 17: Although one thing that's interesting is I do hear that

568
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 17: Kamala Harris has once again renewed this push for him

569
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 17: to appoint her, you know, sort of acting president should

570
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 17: he step down with I don't know a week or

571
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 17: two left, maybe on January seventh or something, so that

572
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 17: she would be able to fulfill the role as your

573
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 17: sort of quasi first female president. She is pushing for

574
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 17: that again, but not just so that she can be

575
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 17: in history books, also because she wants that lifetime secret service.

576
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 4: My god, let me just say that would be insulting

577
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 4: to all women. What a message, you know, to of course,

578
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 4: that women don't even have to really earn it. Never

579
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 4: got a single vote, and she could be presidents even

580
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: for just thirty days. That's so sick, Jack. But I

581
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 4: want to get your take on this too. On day

582
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: one of a Trump presidency, what would you like to

583
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 4: see him do? And maybe in the first one hundred days,

584
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 4: what would you like to see him accomplish.

585
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: You know what's.

586
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 17: Interesting is is, you know, we talk about the deportations,

587
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 17: and of course that has to happen, and we talk

588
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 17: about the various wars that need to be wrapped up,

589
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 17: but there's just so many people who need.

590
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: To be fired and prosecuted. Emily, there's just so many people.

591
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 17: I have a list of those as well, and you know,

592
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 17: if they're interested, if President Trump is interested, I'm happy

593
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 17: to just go around and we get like a little

594
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 17: pink you know, like a credit card. Not just go

595
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 17: around start firing that. I don't have to pay me anything.

596
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 17: I just want so many of these people fired, many

597
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 17: of which, of course Jack Smith, Anthony Fauci. Preserve your

598
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 17: records because we will be having many.

599
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: Questions for you. Well, I think you should definitely pass

600
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: that list over to of Vakramaswami and Elon Musk. I

601
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: think they're going to be definitely holding the government in

602
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 4: such all.

603
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 11: Right, we'll stay with us.

604
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 4: Coming up our very own bo Davison will be speaking

605
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: with the director Outreach of the West Palm Via Medical Center,

606
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 4: who opens up about the type of care our vets

607
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 4: received and how it defies the stigma. Will be back

608
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 4: in just a moment.

609
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 18: Hystereo driver, Welcome back to Special Report in our contribute

00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 5: I understand you interviewed him.

614
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: I did, Michelle.

615
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: You know, Buzz is a veteran who spoke with me

616
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: at the West Palm VA Medical Center. Now, Buzz is

Speaker 3: the director of Outreach at the VA, and he talks

618
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: about the challenges he faced as an outreach director and

619
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: why a veteran might be hesitant to come to the VA.

620
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: In the end, honestly, I was blown away by how

621
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: modern and tailored the care is at the VA.

622
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: Take a look.

623
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 19: So, you know, I started buying for jobs, you know, nationwide.

624
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 19: Where am I going to go? What am I going

625
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 19: to do? And I was hired by the v A

626
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 19: Healthcare System in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the role was as

627
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 19: a transition patient advocate for sious way injured sirousy Hill

628
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 19: service members from OEF and OAF. So so what did

629
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 19: that mean? That meant it was my role to transition

630
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 19: our guys and gals that were really ill or really

631
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 19: physically you know, in a bad way from the military

632
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 19: treatment facility into the VA healthcare system or you know

633
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 19: what if they didn't want to come to the v

634
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 19: A healthcare system, making sure that they were in a

635
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 19: good place and the community was accepting of them. So

636
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 19: the role it literally we would be notified that hey,

637
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 19: there's a service member who was seriously injured in Bagdad,

638
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 19: and we would start tracking him from that moment, literally,

639
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 19: from that moment so Battlefield medicine stabilized, get him to

640
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 19: Launch Steel Germany from Lonsteel Germany. Then get him back

641
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 19: to Bethesda, Maryland, or Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio,

642
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 19: one of our major, you know, facilities, depending upon what

643
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 19: the severity of his injuries were. So when we knew

644
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 19: they were coming back, we would mobilize and we would

645
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 19: go to Bethesia. Normally it was Pathestic because we were

646
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 19: east coast, we would go down erin our role was

647
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 19: to meet the family, meet the service members. Sometimes they,

648
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 19: like I said, they were not in a position to

649
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 19: where they could talk with us or anything like that.

650
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 19: So it was more about meeting mom, dad, wife, significant other,

651
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 19: whoever it was, and saying, hey, just so you know,

652
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 19: this is who we are, this is what we do.

653
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 19: We are here you, we are here for him or her,

654
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 19: and we're going to make this transition for you as

655
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 19: easy as possible.

656
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 6: So when you leave here and come back to.

657
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 19: Pittsburgh or Eerie or Philadelphia or wherever you're going, it's

658
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 19: going to be smooth.

659
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 6: You're going to be able.

660
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 19: You're going to be enrolled in the VA. If you

661
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 19: need a specific type of bed, if you need a

662
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 19: specific type of walk or chair, whatever that may be.

663
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 19: It's going to be ready to go for you.

664
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 6: It's going to be smooth.

665
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 19: You're not going to have to deal with that government

666
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 19: bureaucracy and the fun filled things of how do we

667
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 19: get in, how do we get out? So it was

668
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 19: it was an awesome role. Around two thousand and five,

669
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 19: the Washington posted an expos a a large piece on

670
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 19: how poor the military treatment facilities were, that they were

671
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 19: not capable of caring for these guys and gals that

672
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 19: were coming back, especially our seriously injured, seriously really skating

673
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 19: interview at Walter Reed Medical Center in d C. It

674
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 19: was it was not a good interview. So at the

675
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 19: time the Secretary of the VA, which was with Secretary Nicholson,

676
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 19: who's a Vietnam era veteran, he said, he says, hey,

677
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 19: we don't want that, we don't want to be lumped

678
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 19: in that. The VA does not want to be a

679
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 19: part of that. We want to make sure that we

680
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 19: are prepared, you know. And at the time there were

681
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 19: really concerns about we were going to be getting a

682
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 19: lot of guys and gals coming back, you know, seriously

683
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 19: or seriously inured. So we hired one hundred combat veterans

684
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 19: who had specific skill sets. I don't know what my

685
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 19: skill set was, That's what I tell people, But whatever,

686
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 19: somehow I got the job, and you know, and that's

687
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 19: really how I got there. And then when I had

688
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 19: the opportunity to come here, you know, they recruit me

689
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 19: as they said, Hey, we don't have an outreach program

690
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 19: and we're challenged with a lot of things here. We're

691
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 19: not getting a lot of guys and gals. You know,

692
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 19: what are your thoughts on this? And I think my

693
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 19: thoughts were, is, you know, we can't be my father's VA.

694
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 19: We have to be willing to say, let's go out

695
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 19: into the community. Let's think outside the box. Let's take

696
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 19: our show to them. So if a veteran who's already

697
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 19: kind of hesitant to come or doesn't want to come in,

698
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 19: for me to call him and say, hey, brother, you know,

699
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 19: why don't you come in to the VA and sit

700
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 19: down in my office and we'll talk to me. That

701
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 19: didn't make any sense. So you know, we sold the

702
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 19: position when we got there was how about if we

703
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 19: tell them I'll come to you, I'll come to your house,

704
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 19: I'll come to your apartment. I will come if you're

705
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 19: under if you're homeless and you're under a bridge, will

706
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 19: come under a bridge. You know, whatever you need. So

707
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 19: and that's kind of how we had our success.

708
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 12: We went to them.

709
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: So it's incredible.

710
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: I heard his story earlier about a guy who's getting

711
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: doing tai chi, acupuncture, re markable things that I don't

712
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: think most people would.

713
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 19: Know, yoga, all these things that you know, you just

714
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 19: you don't you don't hear about, you don't know that,

715
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 19: And so many of our veterans have no idea that

716
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 19: we do these things.

717
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: So and then let's talk about Veterans Day itself. What

718
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 2: does the day mean to you?

719
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: I think on our calendar for us to have not

720
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 3: been veterans, that have not been in the military, we

721
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: look at it as just another day. Unfortunately, maybe someone

722
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: says thank you for your service. I think that's kind

723
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 3: of a platitude sometimes. So what do you think Veterans

724
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 3: Day means to you personally? What would you want people

725
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 3: to know about it?

726
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 12: Well?

727
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 19: I think to me, it gives me a chance to

728
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 19: think back and reflect on my service, my father's service.

729
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 19: My father was a Vietnam veteran who who you know,

730
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 19: passed away last May. He was eighty years old, lived

731
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 19: a wonderful life. But I think about how he raised me,

732
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 19: you know, with structure and with discipline and respecting you know,

733
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 19: men and women in uniform and where they came from,

734
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 19: what they did. So I just think, to me, it

735
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 19: gives me an opportunity to be thankful for all these

736
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 19: guys and gals for what they've given up, the sacrifices

737
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 19: they've given up. And once again, like I said to me,

738
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 19: it doesn't matter what you did, where you went, who

739
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 19: you served with. We I mean, we're very competitive with

740
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 19: you know. Most of my time was served with the

741
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 19: Marine Corps, although I will tell you we are the

742
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 19: greatest fighting force in the world. The Army may differ

743
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 19: from that, you know. But it just gives me that

744
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 19: opportunity to just say and to thank you for the service.

745
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 19: To me, I appreciate it, but I always have to

746
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 19: I have to think, like how do I respond to that,

747
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 19: you know, because to me, I just I just did it.

748
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 12: When I was in.

749
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 19: Iraq, you just did it. It was amazing to me

750
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 19: how your training that you had done for so many

751
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 19: years just automatically kicked in and you didn't even know it,

752
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 19: so so you.

753
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 3: Know as you all can see Buzz as a veteran

754
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 3: who continues to serve as fellow veterans and meet them

755
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: where they are rather than.

756
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: Requiring that they come to him.

757
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: And a big thank you to the West Palm Via

758
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 3: Medical Center who assisted us in this interview shoot.

759
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: Great great content that you got there in such phenomenal

760
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: stories as.

761
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 5: Well of all of our nations heroes. Both great job.

762
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: Thank you.

763
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: Look at mint a lot to me and I think

764
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 3: just to see the care that these guys are getting.

765
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: Again he mentioned acupuncture, tai chi, yoga. Whatever you think

766
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: about a va is, you probably don't know a tenth

767
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 3: of it, honestly, so I was very impressed with that.

768
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: With about West Palm Via, yeah.

769
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 5: I've learned a lot as well.

770
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: Coming up, we speak with our very own Tara Dahl

771
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: about a new chapter for Israel and also with the

772
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: producer of the Philibel President Trump.

Speaker 14: much that we didn't we didn't know if it was

833
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 14: going to be received because of the pushback from certain

834
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 14: media outlets obviously, and and you know, even you know,

835
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 14: getting shunned even by the theater chains, you know, but

836
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 14: you know, come to the rescue and e Musk, we

837
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 14: trust Elon, you know, reached out through through Lynn pat

838
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 14: and Ashley Sinclair and Evan Jones and decided through Benny

839
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 14: Johnson and his page to post it on x And

840
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 14: I think as a date, we have fifty four million

841
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 14: views wow total of the film. And it started the

842
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 14: Friday before the election, and even to the point where

843
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 14: President Trump and his team reached out and and said, hey,

844
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 14: thank you. We think you guys had an impact with

845
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 14: with getting to audiences.

846
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 6: So we are on cloud nine. I mean, you know,

847
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 6: every I mean, we just gained a million views in

848
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 6: the last twenty four hours. The audience is responding.

849
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 14: They're getting to see a side of the president that

850
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 14: the media has been hiding forever.

851
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, and we're just so grateful.

852
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: So Josh, you know, I understand you mentioned that you

853
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 3: were having some difficulty getting this movie into the theater

854
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 3: chains and Elon must tweeted this telling people that it's

855
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 3: worth watching. So you know what what was in turn

856
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 3: was the effect of this tweet It says worth watching

857
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 3: this documentary to understand the real Donald Trump.

858
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, Elon and you know, has a tremendous reach.

859
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: And so do you think that this was the catalyst

860
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: possibly that put it in front of more eyeballs than

861
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: it ever could have been.

862
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, we were supposed to be in a

863
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 14: certain amount of screens and then all of a sudden,

864
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 14: New York the day before it was coming out and

865
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 14: Trump had his rally at Madison Square Garden pulled every

866
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 14: one of their screens ironically, you know, and there was

867
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 14: hundreds of thousands of patriots that wanted to go see it,

868
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 14: and we're told that, oh, we're not able to buy

869
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 14: tickets anymore. So things like that were going on. You know,

870
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 14: we heard about it through Sound of Freedom and some

871
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 14: other films, and we had it happen to us, and

872
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 14: you know, we talked to some folks in President Trump's administration,

873
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 14: and lo and behold, we get reached out, you know,

874
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 14: directly to us from Elon Stein, Evan Jones and Ashley

875
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 14: Sainclair who basically said, hey, we have an idea that,

876
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 14: you know, before the election, could reach audiences.

877
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 6: What do you think And I said, you know what,

878
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 6: let's do it. And we did it and here we are.

879
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 6: You know, normally you hit a plateau. We've been since

880
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 6: the election. We've had about eight to nine million.

881
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 14: More views and the audience is responding and we're just

882
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 14: so gracious and thankful. And by the way, all these

883
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 14: major streaming networks are now reaching out to us, wanting

884
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 14: to make deals with us.

885
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

886
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 6: You know, I'm hoping President Trump reaches out.

887
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 14: I think I should be the Minister of Media, you know,

888
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 14: with all the positive indeed that we're putting out with him.

00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 4: Now let's shift to the latest in the war in

909
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 4: the Middle East. Israelly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who addressed

910
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 4: the people of Iran again for the second time. Let's

911
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 4: take a listen to what he had to say.

912
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 6: I know that you don't want this war.

913
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 12: I don't want this war either.

914
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 6: The people of Israel don't want this war.

915
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 12: There is one force.

916
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 6: Putting your family in grave danger, the tyrants of Tehran.

917
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: That's it.

918
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 6: But there's also good news.

919
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 21: Every day that regime gets weaker, every day Israil gets stronger.

920
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 6: The world is seen but a fraction of our power.

921
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 8: Yet there's one thing Kabinet's regime fears more than Israel.

922
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 12: You know what it is, it's you, the people of Iran.

923

00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 15: And like you said, Emily, this is a second time

929
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 15: people directly, and that is so impactful because as we

930
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 15: have seen it is there's a connection, there's a strong

931
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 15: bond forming between Israel and the people of Iran. And

932
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 15: I wrote ten years ago, guys about is it time

933
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 15: for a Persian spring?

934
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 11: I wrote it for Breitbart, And they have been.

935
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 15: They have been right for a uprising against the regime

936
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 15: for years and years. This regime is brutal on the

937
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 15: people of Iran, as we know, and as soon as

938
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 15: they get pushed into a corner like we're seeing right now,

939
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 15: because they see the Trump administration coming in and they're terrified,

940
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 15: and they're terrified of seeing people like Senator Rubio Pete Hegseth,

941
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 15: Mike Walls, Mike Huckabee joining this administration and so when

942
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 15: they get pushed into a wall and they have fear,

943
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 15: they know that the greatest fear they have, the greatest

944
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 15: threat that they face are the people of Iran. And

945
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 15: so by Netanyah, who specifically address the people, you.

946
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 11: Know what his policy is.

947
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 15: You know what they're trying to do, and they're putting

948
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 15: the fear into the regime that the people could rise

949
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 15: up and the people could replace this Islamic republic and

950
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 15: then you could see a pre Iran. And I do believe,

951
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 15: guys that we will see that under the next Trump administration.

952
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 11: I really do well.

953
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 5: Tarah breaking.

954
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: Just today, authorities have arrested a US government employee, Sif

955
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: William Rahman, who worked at the CIA, for leaking the

956
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: classified documents that described Israel's preparations for an attack against Iran.

957
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 5: Tara, what is your reaction to this arrest?

958
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 11: You know, guys, I'm pretty curious on this one because

959
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 11: this was a CIA someone that works with CIA. He

960
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 11: was an employee, but he was arrested in Cambodia.

961
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 15: So why is someone that's working for the CIA that

962
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 15: has a TS security clearance, top secret security clearance working

963
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 15: in Cambodia and that has access to Israel's plans to

964
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 15: attack Iran. There's a lot of questions here that I

965
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 15: think a lot of people are like, how did this

966
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 15: even happen?

967
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 11: How did he have access? It doesn't really make sense.

968
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 11: So I hope that Congressman, I.

969
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 15: Hope they ask some additional questions and we could find

970
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 15: out some more information on this one.

971
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Tarah. Now I want to get your take on this.

972
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 4: Suncom over the weekend targeted Houki facilities in Yemen, conducting

973
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 4: multiple air strikes against their weapons storage facilities. Is this

974
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 4: too little, too late?

975
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 11: Yeah?

976
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 15: I mean there's a report that came out yesterday guys

977
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 15: from the Jewish Institute for National Security for America, and

978
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 15: there are shocking statistics in this report. Since October seventh,

979
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 15: attacks on US forces. US forces has increased by six

980
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 15: hundred percent. Just since October seventh, Iranian backed proxies in

981
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 15: Iran and Iraq and Syria I have attacked US forces

982
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 15: over two hundred times. I mean, that's incredible. And look

983
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 15: at their response from the Biden administration. They have done

984
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 15: absolutely nothing to respond to these attacks against our US forces.

985
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 15: When we lost three service members in December from Iranian

986
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 15: back proxies, that were on the Jordanian border. And then

987
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 15: we just lost a service member too a couple of

988
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 15: weeks ago that died from his wounds when he was

989
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 15: sent to deploy to the Gaza peer And the Bidy

990
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 15: administration has done absolutely nothing to counter these hoothy attacks.

991
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 15: So this is something that the Trump administration is going

992
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 15: to have to come into. But remember, guys were in

993
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 15: the Biding administration under the Trump administration his first term,

994
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 15: they designated the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization and

995
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 15: they also supported the Saudi offensive against them. But Biden

996
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 15: then came in and immediately withdrew that designation and now

997
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 15: we're paying seeing the consequences of what's happening.

998
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 11: So, I mean, those hoo Thie's are making.

999
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 15: One hundred and eighty million dollars a month, guys, off

1000
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 15: of these commercial shippings. It's outrageous what's happening, and it's

1001
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 15: not getting any attention.

1002
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 5: Wow, that's an insane number. Terror.

1003
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: Before we let you go, I just want to get

1006
00:48:58,360 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 15: Yeah, I knew she was going to serve in some

1007
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 15: and that position so I knew she was going to

1008
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 15: have a position, but you know they've targeted her and

1009
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 15: have put us marshalls when she flies, So it'll be

1010
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 15: interesting to see what she uncovers in that position of

1011
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 15: how the weaponization of the government has been used not

1012
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 15: just against Republicans and conservatives, but also against her and

1013
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,560
