Four hundred and twenty eight federal agencies, Like, 9 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: there's so many that people will never know that half 10 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: of overlapping areas of responsibility. 11 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 4: We should I don't know. 12 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: We should get I mean there are more federal agencies 13 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: than there are years since the established in the United States, 14 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: which means that we've created more than one federal agency 15 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: per year on average. 16 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: That seems a lot. That's a lot. That's a lot. 17 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: So we should that seems crazy.

I don't know. 19 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: That seems a lot. 20 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 4: Like a lot of agencies a lot. 21 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 5: I got a message to the mains of illegal as 22 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 5: that Joe Biden's released in our country in violation of 23 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 5: federal law. 24 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: You better start back and now. 25 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 6: You damn right because you're going home. I got another message, 26 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 6: another message. 27 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 5: To the criminal cartels in Mexico. You're smuggling of Fenton 28 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 5: Off across this country to kill one hundred and forty 29 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 5: eight thousand young Americans. You have killed more Americans and 30 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 5: every terrorist organization in the world combined. And math. When 31 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 5: President trumpet is back in office, he's going to designate 32 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 5: to a terrorist organization.

Well, first of all, you 38 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 7: got a fire. You know, you gotta fire the chairman, 39 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 7: Joint Chiefs, and you gotta fire this. I mean obviously 40 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 7: gonna bring in any Secretary Defense, but any general that 41 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 7: was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that was involved in any 42 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 7: of the DEI WOP, it's gotta go. Either you're in 43 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 7: for war fighting that and that's it. That's the only 44 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 7: litmus tests we care about. You got to get deis 45 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 7: crtat of military academy so you're not training young officers 46 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 7: and to be baptized in this type of thinking. And 47 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 7: then you know, whatever the standards, whatever the combat standards 48 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 7: were saying. 49 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: I don't know nineteen ninety five. 50 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 7: Let's just make those the standards. And as far as 51 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 7: recruiting to hire the guy that you know did top 52 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 7: gun Maverick and create some real ads that motivate people 53 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 7: that want to serve. 54 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 8: Trump is back, and I am thrilled about it, my goodness, 55 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 8: and mind thrilled about it. There are a lot of developments. 56 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 8: As you may have learned already about our show. I 57 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 8: do not typically talk about things as they happen because 58 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 8: I don't like to get it wrong. I'm not a 59 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 8: breaking news show, not a breaking news team. We like 60 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 8: to have a moment and press and process the news. 61 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 8: We figure you can get the news sent to you 62 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 8: news updates from the Washington Post and the New York 63 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 8: Times and CBS, ABC, Fox and all the rest of them, 64 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 8: and then a day or two later you find out 65 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 8: that what you learned is not true. 66 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: It is how they massage the truth. 67 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 8: So for us, we like to process that information and 68 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 8: add value to it with opinion and perspective. Today the 69 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 8: vote was held for the Senate Majority leader. This is 70 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 8: a very important position. This is to replace Mitch McConnell. 71 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 8: And the fix was in, and the fix was McConnell 72 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 8: wanted John Cornyn, who is a Senator from Texas who 73 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 8: is a complete sellout. McConnell staged this thing right after 74 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 8: the election, so the wouldn't be time for the grass 75 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 8: roots to coalesce behind a candidate. So in very short order, 76 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 8: the grassroots came together behind Rick Scott. There were two 77 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 8: establishment candidates running, and that was John Cornan, who was 78 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 8: mcconne's choice, and John Thune from South Dakota. 79 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: Cornyan, of course from Texas well. 80 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 8: At the last minute there was this huge hue and 81 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 8: cry an attempt to organize for Rick Scott, but it 82 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 8: was too little, too late. The writing was already on 83 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 8: the wall. So these are the names of the Senators 84 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 8: who voted for Rick Scott of Florida. Now, between you 85 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 8: and me, I don't think they really wanted Rick Scott 86 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 8: to I don't think all of them wanted Rick Scott 87 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 8: to win. Some of them flipped their vote at the 88 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 8: last minute to Rick Scott because as long as Cornin 89 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 8: didn't win a majority of the fifty three votes, remember 90 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 8: their fifty three Republicans. We're talking about being the leader 91 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 8: of the Republicans, which of course makes you the leader 92 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 8: of the Senate since they're in the majority. So what 93 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 8: you needed was twenty seven votes. So as long as 94 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 8: neither Thun nor Cornyn could get to twenty seven votes, 95 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 8: you could vote on the first ballot because it's a 96 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 8: private ballot. 97 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 2: Remember, for Rick Scott, you could even come out and 98 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 2: endorse him. I really like Rick Scott. 99 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 8: I want him to win, knowing good and well, he 100 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 8: wouldn't make it to the second round, so you get 101 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 8: all the credit with the bass. I'm for Rick Scott. 102 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 8: He's my kind of grassroots solid. And then he loses. 103 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 8: You go into the next round and you vote for 104 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 8: who you want to vote for, and that would of 105 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 8: course be John Thuhn. Thuon is better than Cornyn, but 106 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 8: Rick Scott was the best of the three in the 107 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 8: grassroots wanted Rick Scott. So here is who is on 108 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 8: record for voting for Rick Scott, and you can do 109 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 8: with this what you want. Marshall Blackburn, Ted Cruz, Bill 110 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 8: Haggerty Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Cynthia Loomis, Rand, Paul liul Marco, 111 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 8: Eric Schmidt, Rick Scott, Cindy Hyde Smith, Tommy Tupperville, and JD. 112 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: Vance. 113 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 8: Trump was sending in treaties in a back channel, which 114 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 8: is why jd Vance was very clearly upfront with us 115 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 8: that they wanted Rick Scott. 116 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 2: They could work better with Rick Scott. 117 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 8: These senators do not want grassroots activists involved. Politico reported 118 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 8: earlier today that the Senate was very upset. Are we 119 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 8: already up against the break? 120 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: Gosh, dog, I got so much to get to. 121 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 8: The new Majority leader will be John Thune of South Dakota, 122 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 8: Assistant Majority Leader John Barosso of Wyoming, Republican Conference Chair 123 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 8: Tom Cotton, who cut a deal from Arkansas, Republican Policy 124 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 8: Committee Chair Shelley Moore from West Virginia, Shelley Moore COPEDO 125 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 8: from West Virginia, Republican Conference Vice Chair James Lankford from Oklahoma, 126 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 8: and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Tim Scott from South Carolina. 127 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: Do with that what you will. The Michael Verie Show 128 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: continues to use to use. You know, it's crazy. 129 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 8: I left out of here yesterday and I'm sitting at 130 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 8: home last night going over my notes to prepare for 131 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 8: this morning show. If you're new to the show, I 132 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 8: do a morning show and then an evening show. You're 133 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 8: getting the evening show, the morning show tends to focus 134 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 8: more on Texas and even some Houston focus. The evening 135 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 8: show is syndicated, so I tend to focus more on 136 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 8: issues affecting the country, but with a little touch of 137 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 8: Texas flavor thrown in for good measure. So I realized 138 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 8: I didn't talk at all about Vivek and Elon and 139 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 8: the Department of Government Efficiency which with a good sense 140 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 8: of humor, which Elon does. That was the push he 141 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 8: wanted for it, so that it would be d OGE, 142 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 8: which is doge, and you Bitcoin folks will know the 143 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 8: whole story behind that. 144 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 2: And Elon is loving this. 145 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 8: He's already he's already announced that the merchandise for the 146 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 8: DOGE Department is going to be lit. They're having fun, 147 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 8: and the point is you can bring great change and 148 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 8: have fun. I saw a documentary on Mike Leach, one 149 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 8: of my heroes and wife, and said, you know, Leech 150 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 8: not only succeeded, but he had fun. And it was 151 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 8: pointing out that Nick Saban didn't seem to have fun. 152 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 8: You know, Bill Belichick never seemed to be having fun. 153 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 8: And there's a time and place for everything. You know, 154 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 8: there's playing grab ass, there's not being serious when he 155 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 8: needs to be serious, but you can be pleasant and 156 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 8: enjoyable while getting the job done. You know, you can 157 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 8: bring donuts and coffee into the whole office. 158 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: And say, all right, guys are gonna work harder we 159 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: normally do. It can be fun. But what I love. 160 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 8: Here that Trump is doing is he is being fearless 161 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 8: and he's doing what he wants to do. You know, 162 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 8: it's like you've left home, you've graduated high school, you 163 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 8: left home, and you can stay up all night that 164 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 8: first night because nobody can make you go to bed. 165 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 8: And it feels like he's doing doing what he wants 166 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 8: to do in such a way that he's committed to 167 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 8: fixing the problems and he's willing to try some new things. 168 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: Now, some of these guys are gonna be mistakes, some. 169 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 8: Of them are going to screw up, and the media 170 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 8: is going to be digging right now to find every 171 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 8: word they ever said. 172 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something. 173 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris had Eminem at her events speaking on her behalf, 174 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 8: and that guy has said and done some of the 175 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 8: most awful things, so y'all, and they never had a 176 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 8: problem with that same thing with Megan the Stallion and 177 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 8: Cardi B and. 178 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 2: So whatever they say, just remember this. 179 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 8: We can't stop them from saying it, but we can 180 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 8: control whether we care about it. Laugh in their faces. 181 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 8: Let's talk about some of these some of these appointments. 182 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 8: The Pete Hegseth for a Secretary of Defense is the 183 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 8: most excited I've ever been about a cabinet secretary appointment. 184 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 8: Nomination has to be approved, ratified by the Senate. 185 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: This is the most excited I've ever been. 186 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 8: This is the most out of the box, fearless, brave, 187 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 8: visionary move. This guy was a major What's going to 188 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 8: be amazing here is he's going to be firing guys 189 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 8: who outranked him. He's going to be ruining the careers 190 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 8: of guys that trample on our service members. And that 191 00:12:49,920 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 8: delights me. You know, what we're witnessing here is this country. 192 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 8: We have established that there are people and they are 193 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 8: the establishment, and they're the people who are to be 194 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 8: trusted and respected and admired, and everyone is clamoring to 195 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 8: get into their ranks. First of all, the college educated. 196 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 8: If you have a college degree, you're college educated. You're 197 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 8: better than the peasants who don't have one. All Right, 198 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 8: that's the first thing. Then we do graduate degrees, professional degrees, doctors, lawyers, architects, pharmacists. 199 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 8: You get the point. And then we've got our institutions. 200 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 8: So within the military, you've got your enlisted, which is 201 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 8: again the peasant class, and then you've got your officers. 202 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 8: And amongst the officers you've got those who rise through 203 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 8: the ranks, and they're better than everyone else, and they 204 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 8: are your generals. And the more stars they have, the 205 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 8: more important they are. And most of them are blowhards. 206 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 8: And I will tell you that guys who rise to 207 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 8: the top as generals are much like police chiefs of 208 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 8: major urban police departments. It's not that they were a 209 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 8: great police officer, it's that they're an ass kisser and 210 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 8: a game player. Everybody knows the type, the type who 211 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 8: weaseles their way to the top. 212 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: See, you can't do that on the football team. 213 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 8: If you're a quarterback who can't read defenses, elude defenders 214 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 8: trying to sack you, and put the ball where it 215 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 8: needs to be. 216 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: Then it doesn't matter. 217 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 8: But within organizations like the military, like the police department, 218 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 8: you can move through the ranks when you're not actually 219 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 8: any good at the core activity of the organization. So 220 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:05,479 Speaker 8: you get these generals with multiple stars, and by the way, 221 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 8: to a man, they want wars because warriors are how 222 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 8: they bring glory to themselves. 223 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: It ain't them getting shot, it ain't their son. 224 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 8: Servant Pete Hegseeth a twenty year veteran, multiple Ivy League degrees. 225 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: This guy is the real deal. 226 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 8: And I believe he walks in on day one to 227 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 8: the Department of Defense as an advocate for the service member, 228 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 8: as an advocate for those who want war the uniform 229 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 8: are veterans and those who are currently wearing the uniform, 230 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 8: and not as part of the boys club of multi 231 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 8: star generals who want to be driven around and betray us. 232 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 8: And the fact that Trump would do this, it's the 233 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 8: most populist move. It's the efficient see move. It's the gosh. 234 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 8: I sound like such a fanboy, and I realize it. 235 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 8: The Senate in me says, hold your fire. Maybe I'm 236 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 8: setting the expectations too high, but for now, the Pete 237 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 8: Hagsath choice is the best choice of this entire administration 238 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 8: that Donald Trump has made, and the best choice of 239 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 8: any president in my life. 240 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: Though you've got dumb Michael Berry show. 241 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 8: One thing you must understand is the Senate is as 242 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 8: corrupt and much as much a problem as the federal bureaucracy, 243 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 8: and in many ways more dangerous. The Republican senators, most 244 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 8: of whom were elected before we started the Tea Party 245 00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 8: efforts in twenty ten, most of whom are folks who 246 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 8: are creatures of the swamp. These guys are very, very devious. 247 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 8: They will smile in your face and stab you in 248 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 8: the back. 249 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: What you must. 250 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 8: Understand is they do not share your values. The America 251 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 8: you foresee, the America you work toward, is not what 252 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 8: they want. They want a big, bloated government. Now why 253 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 8: would that be a US Senate in an America with 254 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 8: the government half the size that it is would be 255 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 8: much less powerful. The bigger the government, the more money 256 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 8: that's spent, the more regulations, the more wars, The more 257 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 8: powerful they are. The more powerful they are, the bigger 258 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 8: the pay they get when they leave the Senate to 259 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 8: go to work for the special interests. The more money 260 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 8: they can raise for their campaigns and for their packs, 261 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 8: the more jobs they can get in the private sector 262 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 8: with the special interests of the people who do business 263 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 8: with the government. You see the reason Obama carries over 264 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 8: two thousand pages. Is it does not apply equally, including 265 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 8: to members of Congress. The reason the tax code is 266 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 8: a labyrinthing beast that makes a Dostoevsky novel look like 267 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 8: a short story is because the more complicated it is, 268 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 8: the more opportunities you have. When a special interest says, hey, 269 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 8: can you just put in a little bitty subheading right 270 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 8: there that would say that this part of the task 271 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 8: Code does not apply if you have three employees from 272 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 8: South Dakota and eight from Oklahoma. And so you end 273 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 8: up seeing bills that are written and you go, you're 274 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 8: exempted from this law if you have six toes on 275 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 8: your left foot. Well that's the weirdest thing. Why would 276 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 8: somebody write that. Turns out that guy's got six toes 277 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 8: on his left foot. 278 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: So what they are doing. 279 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 8: When people will say we just need to simplify things, well, yeah, 280 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 8: you and I know that. But if you get rich 281 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 8: off things being complicated, then you keep things complicated. That's 282 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 8: like saying to the drug cartels, hey, guys, we need 283 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 8: to not bring fentanyl in here and kill the American people, 284 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 8: and they go, yeah, that's nice, Now get out because 285 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 8: we're going to kill you if you don't, because we're 286 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 8: getting rich off the fennol and we're getting rich off 287 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 8: the sex trafficking. People do not willingly consent to the 288 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 8: America we want, which is a small government, a lean government, 289 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 8: an official government, because they we are in on the 290 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 8: con It's not just any efficiency. That is the reason 291 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 8: our government is bloated and overly powerful. Understand this, it's 292 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 8: not accidental. There are some things that they just dropped 293 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 8: the ball, sure, but most of it is an accumulation 294 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 8: of power. You look at what Fauci did. And by 295 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 8: the way, we're going to talk about RFK in a minute. 296 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 8: I'm very, very excited about the opportunities for RFK. I've 297 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 8: told you who the Senate leadership team is. 298 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: No, I'm not. 299 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 8: Excited, if that's your question. I'm not even a little 300 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 8: bit excited. We did better than we could have done. 301 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 8: Thank god it's not John Cornyn. Texans united against John Cornyn. 302 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 8: The other senator from texass Ted Cruz, and he was 303 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 8: very clear against cornn Cornyn had no grassroots support and 304 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 8: a little bird he tells me Trump does not like 305 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 8: nor trust Cornyn one bit. 306 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: So the vote today was. 307 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 8: Not really not in any way, a ringing endorsement of 308 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 8: John Thune. It was an ABC anybody but Cornyn, and 309 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 8: it really was anybody but Cornyn. Today was a loss 310 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 8: for Mitch McConnell. But as always happens with the turtle, 311 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 8: he's still you know, you might kick him out of 312 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 8: the apartment. He hadn't paid rent on in ten years, 313 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 8: but he's still going to steal the fixtures off the 314 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 8: wall as he's walking out the door. He wanted to 315 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 8: make sure it was Thuon instead of Scott. We wanted 316 00:21:53,560 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 8: Scott McConnell, and the Swamp wanted Cornyon. Is somewhere in 317 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 8: the middle as a compromise candidate to Corning, but not 318 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 8: what we wanted. Now there's a lot of tweets out 319 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 8: there and things that he said about Donald Trump in 320 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 8: twenty sixteen. That doesn't necessarily mean he's going to be 321 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 8: terrible because I wasn't for Trump in twenty sixteen either. 322 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 8: I was a Ted Cruz guy, and I didn't think 323 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 8: that Trump would be that would turn out to be 324 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 8: the leader he's turned out to be. I did not 325 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 8: believe that, and I don't deny that. I'm not ashamed 326 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 8: of it. It is possible that Thune has seen the 327 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 8: riding on the wall for what's good for this country 328 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 8: and that he will do the right thing. 329 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: It's possible. 330 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 8: It's possible I might walk outside and start flapping my 331 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 8: arms and all of a sudden take flight, but not likely, 332 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 8: not likely. The question will be how hard Thune will 333 00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 8: work behind the scenes to undercut Trump. And I'm going 334 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 8: to tell you you are a major part of the 335 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 8: extent to which he does that. Your efforts, I feel 336 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 8: certain your efforts kept. 337 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: John Cornyn from being the Senate majority leader. 338 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 8: I had been told from very, very, very well placed 339 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 8: sources that Corning had this. 340 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: It was his, it was locked, it. 341 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 8: Was snatched away from him, and it was snatched away 342 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 8: from what Mitch McConnell wanted to happen. And that's a win, 343 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 8: you know, folks, I want to say this and I 344 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 8: want you to hear me on this. I know it 345 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 8: feels like we never win, because sometimes our win is 346 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 8: just defeating the Democrats. We don't get a Trump win 347 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 8: in the national popular vote. We don't get that very often. 348 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 8: That's why it felt so good, That's why we're so giddy. 349 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 8: But I want you to understand, we do have wins. 350 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 8: I spoke to these mommies that have taken over the 351 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 8: Conroe ISD Conroe's a community about an hour north of Houston. 352 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: Seven women have all been. 353 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 8: Elected to the school board, all MAGA Republicans of a 354 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 8: school district just outside of Houston, an urban school, I mean, 355 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 8: a big city school. It's exactly we are winning things 356 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 8: for We've got to keep the momential. But take heart, 357 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 8: we are winning. 358 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 2: Michael Berry the Michael Berry Show. 359 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 8: So there is a there's a tweet that John Thune 360 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 8: from Sandy, from South Dakota posted November eighth of twenty sixteen, 361 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 8: and he said Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence 362 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 8: should be our nominee effective immediately. Now that does not 363 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 8: sit well with Trump supporters, as you might imagine that 364 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 8: is that is not being well received. I am not 365 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 8: going to endorse John Thune and tell you that he's 366 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 8: going to be a good partner for Donald Trump, because 367 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 8: I don't know that to be true, and I think 368 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 8: his temptations will be two grand I spent a lot 369 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 8: of time today talking through in communications with people. Why 370 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 8: wouldn't he just do what Trump asked him to do. 371 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 8: Trump just won in a big way, And the answer 372 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 8: is this, It's not as simple as it looks. Remember 373 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 8: when I told you again and again that naivete is 374 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 8: what is our biggest problem. You keep thinking that John 375 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 8: Thune is out for what's best for this country, and 376 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 8: you keep thinking that John Thune sees the power in 377 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 8: this country to be based in your consent, in your votes. 378 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 2: Neither of those is true. 379 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 8: Almost every person in government would allow this country to 380 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 8: burn to the ground if it benefited them personally. 381 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 2: And you've got to understand that. 382 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 8: Until you can understand that, then you're never going to 383 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 8: understand why they do what they do. 384 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 2: Remember, they're not like you, and you're not like them. 385 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 8: This is like you're studying a whole different species from 386 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 8: your own. So, first of all, they're not out to 387 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 8: do what's best for the country. And number two, they 388 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 8: do not perceive you as their boss. Our constitution does, 389 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 8: but they do not. They perceive that you are a 390 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 8: constant nuisance. They love being senators. You have no idea 391 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 8: what a great life it is. You have no idea. 392 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 8: They are daily told by staffers of their own choosing 393 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 8: how smart they are, how clever they are. They're daily 394 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 8: being honored in their home state. They're being begged to 395 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 8: be fitted. You know, please come back to whatever state 396 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 8: and come to this little town and bestow your glory 397 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 8: on us by being here. And they have a whole 398 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 8: staff of people, schedulers and allso no, we can't do it, 399 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 8: then we can do it. 400 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: Will come there. 401 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 8: They're introduced as if they're the greatest person in the 402 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 8: history of mankind. Truth is, for ninety of them, nobody 403 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 8: in the country knows who they are. I could read 404 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 8: you some of the names and you'd go and if 405 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 8: I gave you the name of them or a professional 406 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 8: baseball player, you wouldn't know which was, well, the professor, 407 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 8: you'd know because if it was, if it sounded Dominican, 408 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 8: you know, as a professional baseball player. But nobody knows 409 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 8: whose people are but within their own little club. And 410 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 8: you will often hear the Senate referred to as a 411 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 8: as a clubby atmosphere. One thing you need to know, 412 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 8: it's not Republicans versus Democrats. 413 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: Throw that out. 414 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 8: It is us versus them, and they view it as 415 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 8: them versus us. You are the enemy. They don't want 416 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 8: you to know that, and they typically won't say it 417 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 8: unless you catch them. When they get mad. Arlen Spector 418 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 8: said it on. 419 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 2: Their way out. 420 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 8: They'll say it, but what ends up happening is once 421 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 8: they're out the door, then they're free to say and do. 422 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 8: Paul Ryan, Oh, people thought I never liked Paul Ryan, 423 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 8: never trusted him. Paul Ryan leadership position Republican Party in 424 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 8: the House. The minute he got out, he starts cashing 425 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 8: in and doing everything he could to keep the corporate 426 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 8: media and government from having to listen to you. You 427 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 8: annoy them. You don't know as much as they do. 428 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 8: You're you're you're simple minded. You are full of biases 429 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 8: and cravings and opinions, and none of it matters. You're 430 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 8: all out there just Dan Crenshaw says this all the time. 431 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: You're all just idiots. 432 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 8: You're listening to those talk show hosts and these people 433 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 8: firing you up. 434 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: But none of it is true. That's what they believe. 435 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 8: They believe that only they who are meeting with the 436 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 8: heads of the companies that are writing in the checks, 437 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 8: only they understand why the big businesses need to be 438 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 8: bailed out. Only they need to Only they understand why 439 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 8: they have to take your money and send it to 440 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 8: Hamas and send it to Ukraine only that you don't understand. 441 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 8: You can't understand how the real world works. You're just 442 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 8: down there pulling a paycheck. You don't grasp the important 443 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 8: things that they are doing. 444 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 2: That's how these people look at this. 445 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 8: That is absolutely how these people look at this. All right, 446 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 8: That's all I have to say about the Senate. Time 447 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 8: will tell a lot of people have come around on Trump. 448 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 8: There are people that were very close to Trump in 449 00:30:55,080 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 8: sixteen that now hate him, Michael Cohen, for instance. And 450 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 8: there are people like me who did not like him 451 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 8: or worked against him and are now big supporters. Kelly 452 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 8: and Conway is another one of those. She was on 453 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 8: the cruise team. 454 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: So one thing about Trump. 455 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 8: Is he will turn on someone who was a friend 456 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 8: if he feels that person is no longer loyal. But 457 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 8: the flip side of that, he will make friends with 458 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 8: former enemies if he feels some good can be done. 459 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 8: It's very transactional. He's very mission focused. So I can't 460 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 8: tell you whether to like or not like the John 461 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 8: Thune choice. I'm certainly not going to put my credibility 462 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 8: behind him because I know what really drives him to 463 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 8: the extent that it is in his own personal best 464 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 8: interests to go along with Trump. If and when that 465 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 8: is the case, he will do it. And that's all 466 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 8: you can expect. But do not be naive. Do not 467 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 8: believe that he in any way is a public servant 468 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 8: out to do not believe that he respects the results 469 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 8: of the Trump election. That's not how these people work. 470 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 8: They will work behind the scenes. And you're still gonna 471 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 8: have John Corning in there, wezling around, knifing people in 472 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 8: the back and out to get you because. 473 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 2: Now he's got a vendetta. 474 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 8: You kept him from having his powerful position which he's 475 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 8: so desperately wanted to wield his power, because that's what 476 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 8: these people do. 477 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 2: That's what these people do. 478 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 8: I don't like the Marco Rubio choice at State, but hey, 479 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 8: the President chose him there again, somebody he was very 480 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 8: much at odds with. I'll tell you why coming up 481 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 8: and we'll talk about well, just boy, this is a 482 00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 8: heavy newsday.
