1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Matt Gates for attorney general. People are up at arms.

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: We will discuss it at length. Congressman Chip Roy is here,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: will ask his opinion of it.

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: Michael Knowles joins.

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Us and the economy it's kind of bad. And Peter

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: Saint One needs to explain what's happening. Oh, that's coming up,

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: and I'm right okay, So let's have a talk about

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Matt Gates for attorney general. Since the news has dropped

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump's pick for Matt Gates as Attorney general,

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: the world has been on fire. The political world has

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: been on fire. You have half the people this is

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: on the right. Forget about the left, We'll get to them.

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: Half the people on the right are freaking out. He's

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: not qualified. This is crazy. Everyone left on the left

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: is freaking out. This guy's insane. Half the people on

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: the right absolutely love it. This is exactly what we need.

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: So allow me to just lay it out for you

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: here as clearly as I possibly possibly can. And I

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: should probably put a little warning label on what I'm

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: about to say. If you are a Matt Gates lover

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: or a Matt Gates hater, you will probably be offended

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: by something I'm about to say, and I don't care.

23
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: That's just kind of how I do it. I speak directly.

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: So here's what it is.

25
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: Pause on that.

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Let me tell you a little story because this is

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: going to apply to what my opinion on Matt Gates.

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: This little brief story here.

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: One of the last things I ever did with my

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: old man before he passed away recently is we were

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: fishing and we got a guide. Nothing fancy. He was

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: just a local guy, Louisiana guy. We were trying to

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: catch some redfish that we go out on the water

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: with me, Dad sons around the water with this guide,

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: and we know this guy, he's a friend of ours.

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: And the guy starts talking about a.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Major problem he had had in the past few years

38
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: with his son. His son, at sixteen seventeen years old,

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: had basically lost his mind as young men and tend

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: to do, started boozing it up, grades went down, getting

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: running with the wrong crowd, really really started going bad,

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: on a really bad path, and it got so bad

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: to the point that one night his son back talked

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: his mom. Dad stepped in, son threatened to beat dad up,

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: and after that Dad mom got together and said, what's

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: happening to our boy. We're losing our boy. We have

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: to do something drastic. He's on a bad path. We

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: have to do something drastic. And so what they did.

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen these reform type boot camps. Not military,

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: but they're very much military styles. They'll take kids who've

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: been in trouble with the law, or you can sign

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: people up for these boot camps where they'll take you

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: away and they'll just make your life miserable for a

54
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: while to straighten you up. They really really turned kids around.

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: This guy went and found one of those. He hired them.

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Three am. He goes to the front door. He lets

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: in these two huge drill instructor type guys. They go

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: kicking his son's door. The kid was shaking, he was

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: so afraid. Dragged him out of his bed in the

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: middle of the night and hauled him off to boot camp,

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: where he lived a life of hell for a couple months,

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: scrubbing toilets with the toothbrush. Screamed at you know the

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: works boot camp. You know where that kid is now

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: straight A's back to being an elite athlete. Like life

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: completely turned around, back on the straight and narrow. That's

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: a true story. Why do I like Matt Gates. Well,

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you right now, I find Matt

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Gates to be completely obnoxious most of the time. I

69
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: don't think he's somebody I even want to have a

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: beer with. And that's the exact kind of person we

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: need to take in to take over a DOJ that

72
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: is destroying the United States of America. You if you

73
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: were on a bad path in life, whether you're a business,

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: a DOJ, an individual, you oftentimes need disruption. And disruption

75
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: is uncomfortable. It makes you squirm in your chair. It

76
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good to send a couple drill instructors into

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: your son's room and snatch him out of his bed

78
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: and send him off to hell for a couple months.

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: That sucks. It's hard, it's miserable.

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: We have a Department of Justice that has declared war

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: on the American people, from pro lifers to Donald Trump

82
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: to angry school board moms. What has taken place within

83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: the walls of the DOJ in just the last four

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: years alone. It's not bad, it's not partisan. If you

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: study history at all, it's positively horrifying. It's how countries

86
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: turn into murderous, tyrannical dictatorships. That's how evil the Department

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: of Justice has been. And the Department of Justice, if

88
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: you will pardon my language, needs an enema in.

89
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: The worst possible way.

90
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't want nice, I don't want polite, I don't

91
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: want a gentleman. No more Jeff Sessions types. This is

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: exactly what I want.

93
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: I take no lecture on asking patriotic America to weigh

94
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: in and contribute to this fight from those who would

95
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: grovel and bend knee for the lobbyists and special interests

96
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: who own our leadership, who have ooh boo all you want,

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 3: who have hollowed out this town and have borrowed against

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: the future of our future generations. I'll be happy to

99
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: fund my political operation through the work of hard working

100
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: Americans ten and twenty and thirty dollars at a time,

101
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: and you all keep showing up at the lobbyist fundraisers

102
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: and see how that goes for you.

103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: I reserve.

104
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: Do you hear the booing. I'm gonna explain something to you.

105
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: You might not like that. Maybe that kind of talk

106
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: makes you uncomfortable. I don't know whether it's courage or

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: whether he's just one of these people like me. That

108
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: genuinely just doesn't care about what people think about him.

109
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: But to stand up on the house floor and criticize

110
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: how ninety ninety five percent of those people handle their

111
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: business and to call them all a bunch of corrupt

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: scumbags to their face, that's gutsy, and that kind of

113
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: disregard for being liked by the people around you is

114
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: exactly what we need to reform things and maybe save

115
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: this country and shake things up. I understand the people

116
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: out there, the Matt Gates haters who say he's this,

117
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: he's not that, he's this, he's not that. I totally

118
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: get where you're coming from. I do, but please hear

119
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: me when I tell you there is no comfortable way.

120
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: There's no nice, polite way to turn around the life

121
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: of the sixteen year old boy who tries to beat

122
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: up his father. There needs to be a severe disruption,

123
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: a severe realignment that makes everybody uncomfortable, and there is

124
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: no nice, polite way to walk into the Department of

125
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: Justice that has declared war on you and turn things around.

126
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: Can't we do it politely?

127
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Don't we have our senator who's very nice and his

128
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: suits really look good on him, and he's got great.

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: Heir. Seems like my grandpa.

130
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: We've done that and nothing changed, nothing happened.

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: We need a bull, we need a rabid dog. That's

132
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: what we need. Now.

133
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Do I need to remind you what Merrick Garland and

134
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: Jack Smith just tried to do to the political opponent

135
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: of the President of the United States of America.

136
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 5: To Garland, why Jack Smith? Why'd you pick him?

137
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 6: I appointed somebody who is not a political appointee, somebody

138
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 6: who was an independent, nonpartisan with a record of career

139
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 6: experience as a prosecutor.

140
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 5: Do you regret the pick? I'm sorry, do you regret

141
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 5: picking him?

142
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: No?

143
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 6: I do not regret picking him.

144
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 7: Wells, prosecutor aren't supposed to tamper with evidence, and it

145
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 7: looks like that's what he did. He changed the sequence

146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 7: of the documents that he sees from our a lago.

147
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 6: I'm sorry that's a false characterization, but that here's what.

148
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 7: He said to the court, Mister Attorney General, there are

149
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 7: some boxes where the order of items within the box

150
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 7: is not the same as in the associated scans.

151
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: I mean he said it. I didn't say it.

152
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: He told the court that.

153
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 6: Now you're asking me to comment on a discovery dispute

154
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 6: that's going on. I'm going in a court. I don't

155
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 6: know the facts of it, and I'm not no.

156
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: This is from Jack Smith filing with the court.

157
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Jack Smith was turned loose by the Attorney General of

158
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: the United States of America to prosecute Joe Biden's political opponent.

159
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: I know, we've we.

160
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Know all these things and they've kind of been baked

161
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: into the cake by now. But that action alone should

162
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: land Merrick Garland and everyone involved in prison the Department

163
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: of Justice. Under Merrick Garland's direction, the Department of Justice

164
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: threw a hissy fit after Rovers's way got overturned, and

165
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: they dug up an obscure law, the Face Act, and

166
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: used an obscure law to hunt down pro lifers using

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: FBI swat teams. And little old ladies are rotting in

168
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: prison right now because Merrick Garland got mad about Roe

169
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: versus Wade being overturned. This is Banana Republic. This kind

170
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: of crap happens in Venezuela and some Middle Eastern dunk

171
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: that has a dictator. This stuff is happening now in

172
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the United States of America. So please spare me the

173
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: everybody getting the vapors Lisa Murkowski getting the vapors about

174
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Matt Gays.

175
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 8: I don't think it's a serious nomination for the attorney general.

176
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 8: We need to have a serious attorney general, and I'm

177
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 8: looking forward to the opportunity to consider somebody that is serious.

178
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 8: This one, this one was not on my Bengal card.

179
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: Oh she's not alone.

180
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: Reportedly, senators jaws hit the floor when it was announced.

181
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 9: You could literally hear the jaws dropping to the floor

182
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 9: of Republican senators who are now going to be in

183
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 9: a position to stand up to Donald Trump.

184
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: In a way that they have been unwilling to.

185
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 9: I mean, listen, Mat Gates is dangerously unqualified, but that's

186
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 9: not the worst of it. Gates has been Trump's chief

187
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 9: defender when it comes to Trump's assault on democracy, his

188
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 9: attempt to overthrow the government on January sixth, and he

189
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 9: has openly called for the abolition of law enforcement agencies

190
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 9: if they don't get in line with conservative political priorities.

191
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 9: This is going to be a red alert moment for

192
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 9: American democracy.

193
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

194
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: It's a red alert for all the dirty commies in

195
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: the dj I have heard your concerns. I understand your concerns.

196
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: I am here to tell you we cannot nice our

197
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: way out of this. We can't polite our way out

198
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: of this. Every now and then, if things are bad enough,

199
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: your kid needs to get hauled off to boot camp

200
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: to straighten out his life. Things are so bad within

201
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: the walls of the Department of Justice. We need a

202
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: disruptor that will walk in there with no regard for

203
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: how people think about him, with no regard for making friends.

204
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: In Washington, DC, we.

205
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: Need a pitbull to walk in there and start biting everyone.

206
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: If you want to feel better about this, allow me

207
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,119
Speaker 1: to leave you with this before we go to Congressman

208
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: Chip Roy. Picture Matt Gates standing in front of a

209
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: room of communist lawyers at the DOJ who've spent their

210
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: time arresting pro lifers and school board moms. Picture Matt

211
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Gates standing up there in front of all of them

212
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: and telling all of them you are fired.

213
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 2: Sign me up for that. It doesn't matter that.

214
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: I don't want to be friends with him. He's exactly

215
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: what he's heading, exactly where he needs to be a

216
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: place where he can shake things up. All that may

217
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: have made you uncomfortable, but I am right congressmanship, boy

218
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: is going to join us in just a moment. Speaking

219
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: of pro lifers, the federal government obviously has taken a

220
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: very clear side on this issue, and it's the side

221
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: against life. So what do we do well, it was

222
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: never up to government. Yes, a win here and there

223
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: is nice, but it was never up to government. It's

224
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: about changing the heart. It's about changing our culture. How

225
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: do we change that? How do we change hearts? Well,

226
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: these young women who are about to kill their babies,

227
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: they need to know it's a baby. I know that

228
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: sounds simple to you and me, but it's not so

229
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: simple for them. So how do you do that? You

230
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: give them a free ultra sound. That's what Preborn does.

231
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: They set up these clinics in the highest abortion areas

232
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 1: of the country and they give free ultra sounds to

233
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: these young ladies who are about to make the worst decision.

234
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: Of their lives.

235
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: And when here's that heartbeat, she chooses life almost every

236
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: single time. The ultrasound is how we change the heart

237
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: and the culture. Help Preborn do it. And it's tax deductible.

238
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: You know that twenty eight bucks by is the ultrasound.

239
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: You give whatever you want, give him twenty eight grand

240
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: if you want to.

241
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: Don't care preborn dot com slash.

242
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: Jesse sponsored by Preboard. We'll be back.

243
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 5: Because I need to make a recess.

244
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: Suck it up.

245
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: I love Massy.

246
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the ag suck it up joining me.

247
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: Now.

248
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: One other great people we have in Congress, of course,

249
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: you know him on the show, Congressman Chip Roy of Texas.

250
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Chip.

251
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people screaming, a lot of people

252
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: happy about.

253
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: The Gates pick No.

254
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: One's talking Pete Heggsathter, Tulsa Gabbard and I guess we

255
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: can get to those in a moment. But Gates is

256
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: most definitely out of the box. He is wild. That's

257
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: really what I like about him. Frankly, I think he's

258
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: an obnoxious human being, and that's what I love the most.

259
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: I want him to go blow everything up in the DOJ.

260
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 10: What say you, Well, I've worked closely with Matt, as

261
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 10: everybody knows. We were working together obviously through the whole

262
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 10: debate last year and the year before about the speaker

263
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 10: and the rules on the floor, and I've agreed with

264
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 10: him at times, disagree with them at times. You know,

265
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 10: we were working to change the rules last year when

266
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 10: he vacated Kevin, I actually disagreed because we were trying

267
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 10: to work through some of the arrangements.

268
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 5: But that's fine. I'm generally for.

269
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 10: I'm going to use this metaphorically violence, political violence.

270
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: I'm generally for.

271
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 10: That kind of you know, just just you know, disturbing

272
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 10: the entire culture here in Washington that Matt's good at.

273
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 10: And that's what I was saying yesterday, as you need

274
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 10: somebody who's willing to completely blow up the Department of Justice,

275
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 10: you know, all the way down to the ground and

276
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 10: then start back up and saying with all the other agencies,

277
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 10: right and whether you're Tulsi or whether you're pied over

278
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 10: at the Pentagon, we need people who are disruptors, are unafraid,

279
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 10: and frankly, I don't really care.

280
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: About all of the drama.

281
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 10: You know, people today are so they gets so wrapped

282
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 10: around the axle you know about you know, some specific

283
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 10: thing or allegation or whatever. At the end of the day,

284
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 10: right now, the country needs massive, quick, disruptive leadership or

285
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 10: the country will not survive. And that's it plan and

286
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 10: simply and mass He's correct, suck it up.

287
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: What do you handy I know you won't have a

288
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: say in this because you're in the House, not the Senate,

289
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: But where do you handicap his odds? We've already got

290
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: the standard senators you know, Collins Murkowski getting flimsy. Honest,

291
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: everyone saw that coming. But you think he actually is

292
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: going to get through.

293
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 10: Well, look, I think I think President Trump's going to

294
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 10: have him sitting UH in the in the spot. I

295
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 10: think he's going to have him as the attorney general

296
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 10: one way or the other. I think the question what

297
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 10: the Senate does will see I mean the Senate. I mean, look,

298
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 10: here's what I'm gonna say. The president generally speaking, Democratic

299
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 10: Republican deserves different certainly from its own party on the nominee.

300
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 10: Doesn't mean you should just you know, rubber stamp, but

301
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 10: I certainly wouldn't vote for their coming UH nominees that

302
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 10: they put forward, and and we should oppose, you know,

303
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 10: all of them. The Republicans should be supporting the Republican

304
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 10: president's nominee absent something really extordinary and that doesn't exist here.

305
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 10: And so at the end of the day, I think

306
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 10: he will likely get confirmed absent something you.

307
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 5: Know, I don't know about.

308
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 10: But but Matt's somebody who you know you can count

309
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 10: on to actually totally gut and.

310
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: Reform the Department of Justice.

311
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 10: So why would we why would we not allow the

312
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 10: president his selection of the person he wants to do that.

313
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 10: That's that's my general question. And look, I'm one that

314
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 10: calls balls and strikes.

315
00:16:59,240 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 8: You know that.

316
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 10: I call balls to strife with President Trump, with other people,

317
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 10: with my colleagues. I don't give a crap. I just

318
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 10: call it like I see it. And I want somebody

319
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 10: to just rip that thing apart, root and branch because

320
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 10: it has been massively, massively abusive towards the American people.

321
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 5: Take the face out.

322
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 10: There are elderly people in jail for simply carrying out

323
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 10: their religious beliefs and protesting and exercising their First Amendment

324
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 10: rights to protest abortion. Think about that, and it's unbelievable. Mean,

325
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 10: we had somebody who survived an Eastern European gulag who's

326
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 10: now facing at being put in prison because of their beliefs.

327
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 5: That's this Department of Justice.

328
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 10: It's been weaponized against the people, and it needs to

329
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 10: be gutted and take it all the way down to

330
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 10: the studs and rebuilt and I think Matt can do that.

331
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: Am An, Let's move on to a couple other detailed

332
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: matters that matter. We have at least Stephanick gone, we

333
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: have Matt Gates gone, wall Is gone. A slim majority

334
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: in the House is getting slimmer by the second. Is

335
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: this a point of concern or is not something you're

336
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: stressed about?

337
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, look, I think we're somewhere around two

338
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 10: twenty one or two twenty two before you lose the

339
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 10: people you just mentioned. I think we're gonna have some

340
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 10: window in the early part of the year where we're

341
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 10: down to to whatever eighteen or nineteen, so we're gonna

342
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 10: have a four or five seat gap, which means you

343
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 10: can only lose a couple of people to put to

344
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 10: the other side. Look, I think we're all going to

345
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 10: be trying to work to get to consensus to deliver

346
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 10: on President Trump's agenda. Yesterday, Uh, there was a bit

347
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 10: of a kerfuffle because some of our colleagues we're putting

348
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 10: forward amendments to the rules to target us, to punish

349
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 10: us if we dare break on a rule vote. Well, look,

350
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 10: I my election certificate is for seven hundred and fifty

351
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 10: thousand Texas. I reported them to God and the Constitution

352
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 10: and no one else period. We need to come together

353
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 10: and work together to be able to advance an agenda.

354
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 10: And I think we can do that if we start

355
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 10: with the policy and start with what President Trump's trying

356
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 10: to do. But you know, we're going to have to

357
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 10: continue to have a conversation here to do that.

358
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 5: The reason Mike.

359
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 10: Johnson was selected yesterday was because a general agreement was

360
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 10: struck to have the moderates if you will you stand

361
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 10: down and not offer those amendments to punish or target.

362
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: Any of us.

363
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 10: If we dare break and vote against the rule, we

364
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 10: want to retain our power to be able to shape

365
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 10: the agenda. We think we'll shape that agenda towards what

366
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 10: President Trump wants to do. But we're gonna have to

367
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 10: come down and figure out how to deliver with an

368
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 10: error majority. And I can tell you it doesn't start

369
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 10: with the swamp tactics. It starts with the people and

370
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 10: those who want to deliver the MAGA agenda.

371
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about this Mike Johnson thing. Then there

372
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: are a lot of people, myself included, who have not

373
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: exactly been enamored with what he's done since he's taken

374
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: over as speaker. But I understand it is a different

375
00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: world with a GOP president, GOP Senate allegedly expecting a

376
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: better version of Mike Johnson from now on.

377
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 5: Well, here's what I would say.

378
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 10: I think we're working through the process right now, yesterday,

379
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 10: and today to try to get us united. I think

380
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 10: Mike's got a lot more work to do between now

381
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 10: and January third to get us there. He's got to

382
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 10: demonstrate that he's going to have the right people sitting

383
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 10: around the table to make the right decisions about how

384
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 10: we execute. I'm not going to get everything I want.

385
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 10: That's fine, I understand that, But I don't want the

386
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 10: swamp to just do what it always does and stand

387
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 10: in the way of what President Trump wants to do.

388
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 10: Let me be clear, Jesse. There are already members of

389
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 10: this body, this Republican Conference, talking about amnesty. There are

390
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 10: already members of this body talking about that we can't

391
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 10: have e verify in the HR two bill. There are

392
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 10: already members that had signed a letter saying they won't

393
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 10: repeal the Inflation Reduction Act. There are already members who

394
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 10: are talking about we can't get too harsh on spending cuts.

395
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 10: I could keep going down the list, and I'm telling you,

396
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 10: we're going to have to have a moment where President Trump,

397
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 10: along with those of us who want to fight for

398
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 10: the MAGA President trump agenda, are going to have to

399
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 10: come together to demand that we execute I hope the

400
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 10: Speaker will have those of us in the room necessary

401
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 10: to work this out early so we don't have to

402
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 10: have those fights on the floor. But if we have

403
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 10: to have those fights on the floor, we damn well.

404
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: Will you know who would be nice to have in

405
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: Congress right now? A gentleman by the name of Bob Good.

406
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: It would be nice to have Bob Good there, But

407
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: Bob Good was primaried out of his seats.

408
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: Sadly.

409
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: Andy Harris, who I do like, is the new head

410
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: of the Freedom Caucus. What's the status of the Freedom Caucus?

411
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 2: Chip? Is it getting stronger? Weaker? Is it stagnant?

412
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 6: Oh?

413
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 5: The Freedom Caucaus is strong.

414
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 10: The Freedom Caucus has got a great group of people,

415
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 10: with the same group of people that we've had, you know,

416
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 10: a couple of changes here and there. We've got some

417
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 10: new people coming in, a couple who've left. I agree

418
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 10: with you. I wish Bob Good was staying. Andy Harris

419
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 10: is a good friend, you know, and we're working to Look,

420
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 10: it's a complex environment right now. We're trying to give

421
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 10: deference to the president and building out his agenda. We're

422
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 10: trying to get organized. But the Freedom Caucus's role has

423
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 10: always been to stand up and guarantee that we're going

424
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 10: to be able to execute our rights as members and

425
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 10: that the leadership can't roll over us. That's why the

426
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 10: Freedom Caucus was founded. It was I don't want to

427
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 10: say democratize the House. That's a kind of an overused turn,

428
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 10: but it was to guarantee that my election certificate carries

429
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 10: as much weight as the election certificate of the Speaker

430
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 10: of the House, because I could promise you my seven

431
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 10: hundred and fifty thousand Texans that I represent, particularly the

432
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 10: Republicans who elected me, but all of them they expect

433
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 10: me to represent them. I don't represent my colleague. I

434
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 10: have to work with my colleagues to deliver from my constituent.

435
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 10: So the Freedom Caucus exists for that reason. On that score,

436
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 10: I don't think we've ever been stronger, but it will

437
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 10: be a bit of a dance. I got to be

438
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 10: honest with you about working with figuring out how we're

439
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 10: going to deliver on the president's agenda. When we need

440
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 10: to know what that agenda is and build it out

441
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 10: to Way Street. We have a duty separation of powers

442
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 10: of the House to get out there in front and

443
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 10: start moving our agenda. We just need to make sure

444
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 10: it's married along with what the President wants to do

445
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 10: so we can achieve it.

446
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: Finally, Pete hagg Seth, look, I'm doing backflips over this.

447
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: It's outside of the box and it breaks up that

448
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: good old boy network. Have I suspect I know how

449
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: you feel about it, but how do you feel about

450
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: the whole Pete hag Seth for sec Deaf.

451
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 10: You know, I first met Pete twenty years ago when

452
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 10: he had just come back and he had, you know,

453
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 10: I think, gotten out of active duty and he was

454
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 10: starting a nonprofit.

455
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 5: This is before he.

456
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 10: Got into the media and over the Fox. And he's

457
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 10: a good guy.

458
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 2: Again.

459
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 5: I've known him for a long time, Will Kan who's

460
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 5: a good friend of his. I know Will. He's a Texan.

461
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 5: Pete has I think the right attitude and now that's

462
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: what's important.

463
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 10: The worst thing we could have done was put forward

464
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 10: one of the usual old guard to want to come

465
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 10: in and do whatever all the defense contractors saying, so

466
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 10: we can perpetuate endless war. But he's a veteran himself.

467
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 10: He obviously fought. He knows it just like you, Jesse.

468
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 10: That's good. He has a real feel for what it

469
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 10: meant to wear the uniform. But he's not going to

470
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 10: be a sycop it for the defense industrial complex. He's

471
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 10: going to go represent his boss, the President of the

472
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 10: United States, and he's going to go, I think, stand

473
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 10: up for the men and women in uniform and not

474
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 10: all of this woke crap. That the brass that have

475
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 10: been pushing down those guys need to all be wiped out.

476
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 10: They need to be just taken out. And I think

477
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 10: Pete can do that. Look, I think Tulsi's going to

478
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 10: be able to do that over in national security.

479
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 5: I think we're going to have some good reforms in

480
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 5: other areas.

481
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 10: Again, I think Tom Homan over at the White House's

482
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 10: borders are I'm excited about a lot of the appointments,

483
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 10: but one or two I'm not really so sure about.

484
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 10: But most of them have been pretty good appointments, and

485
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 10: we'll see out this all on POLS.

486
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think Pete will do a good job.

487
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: Congressman, as always, thank you, sir, appreciate you. All right,

488
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: Michael Knowles is going to join us next. Before we

489
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: talk to Michael Knowles, let's talk about putting our money

490
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: where our morals are. You see, and you have a

491
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: cell phone service, we all have them. Now, it's probably

492
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: best if you don't pay a company who hates your gutson,

493
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: hates your country. You don't have to pay Verizon to

494
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: dump on your country. You don't have to pay AT

495
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: and T, you don't have to pay Temo. Well, pure

496
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: talk is there speaking of veterans. Pure Talk is veteran

497
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: led Vietnam. Veteran is the CEO of pure Talk. Pure

498
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: Talk cares about veterans. Pure Talk doesn't give the black

499
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: lives matter and play in parenthood and your bill will

500
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: go down. You keep your phone, you keep your number.

501
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Switch pure talk dot com slash jessetv is where you

502
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: go to switch.

503
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: It's easy.

504
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: You'll get to speak to an American who speaks English.

505
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: Puretalk dot com slash jessetv.

506
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: We'll be back.

507
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 11: Hearing from people inside the DOJ right now about what

508
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 11: this Gates pick would mean for the future of the department.

509
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 11: They are absolutely horrified on and that's not an exaggeration,

510
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 11: and they're not speaking by name, but I'll just tell

511
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 11: you that John Bolton, who's one of the most conservative

512
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 11: figures in Washington, who served as Donald Trump's national security advisor,

513
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 11: just said in the last hour that this is the

514
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 11: worst nomination for a cabinet post in American history. It's

515
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 11: just mind boggling. And it takes up much of the

516
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 11: Attorney general's portfolio, that national security part of it that

517
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 11: we don't usually see because much of it is secret,

518
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 11: and it's an incredible responsibility, and Matt Gates just doesn't

519
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 11: have anything in his resume that would suggest he's prepared

520
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 11: for that. And then you have this other side where

521
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 11: he's threatening to blow up the department and has accused

522
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 11: it of being corrupt, and he actually has said he

523
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 11: believes that Merrick Garland has ordered the FBI to investigate

524
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 11: Joe Biden's political opponents. If you believe that, then you

525
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 11: might believe that you can do the same thing as

526
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 11: attorney general. That's not what happened, but Matt Gates appears

527
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 11: to believe it, and there's a real fear inside the

528
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 11: Justice Department that he or people like him would order

529
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 11: investigations where there was no predicate, where there was no crime.

530
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: Yes, that is exactly what happened.

531
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland is an evil piece of trash who should

532
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: be in prison the rest of his life just for

533
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: what he did against pro lifers.

534
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 2: And yes, the DOJ.

535
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: Is corrupt and awful, and it is hilarious watching John

536
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: Bolton criticize anybody, because that guy's been a piece of

537
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: crap for pretty much his entire adult life.

538
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: Joining me now is the host of the Michael Knowles Show.

539
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: You may have guessed it. His name is Michael Knowles. Michael,

540
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: I love it that Matt Gaates is impolite and to

541
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: be totally honest with you, like I said in the

542
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: opening of the show, I think Matt Gates is freaking

543
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: obnoxious and that's exactly what we need, just some bull

544
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: in a china shop to go in and make everybody miserable.

545
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: I love it.

546
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 12: I think this pick was brilliant in a number of ways.

547
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 12: The first one, though, which very few people are talking about,

548
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 12: is you'll notice we're not talking about Pete Hegseth anymore.

549
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 12: We're not talking about Tulcon Gabbard anymore. We're not talking

550
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 12: about some of the other Trump picks that I think

551
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 12: were terrific picks, but that had generated a little bit

552
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 12: of controversy. Trump, who is a master of politics, obviously

553
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 12: pulled off the greatest comeback in American history. I elected

554
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 12: for president the first time he really ran for it.

555
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 12: President Trump, I think has really done a trick here

556
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 12: because one, it's getting a lot of his other cabinet

557
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 12: picks and top picks to go through more easily. But two,

558
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 12: it's focusing attention not even on Matt Gates, but on

559
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 12: Merrick Garland. Because any accusation you want to make against

560
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 12: Matt Gates Matt Gates is, I don't know, he's too political.

561
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 12: He would not allow Lady Justice to be blind. Oh yeah,

562
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 12: you mean like he would send federal agents in to

563
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 12: spy on Catholic parishes, and he would go arrest pro

564
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 12: lifers in front of their seven kids for praying at

565
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 12: an abortion clinic. Oh yeah, you mean, like all this

566
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 12: stuff Merrick Garland's done. He would wield the Justice Department

567
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 12: to attack his chief political enemies. Oh yeah, you mean,

568
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 12: like Merrick Garland's done anything you want to say about

569
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 12: Matt Gates. The decision of Merrick Garland over the past

570
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 12: three and a half years have been far more egregious.

571
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: Now they are and we can't forget about that, Michael. Honestly,

572
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: the part I love the most about it is people

573
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: within the DOJ are afraid, and to be honest with you,

574
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you on the strategy thing. I

575
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: give him a coin flip chance at getting through confirmation.

576
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: We don't have a huge majority, and the Senate is

577
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: where any principles go to die.

578
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: I don't know handicap it. Does he get through, well,

579
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: he might get through.

580
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 12: It depends on if President Trump is really going to

581
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 12: force these recess appointments. But I think even there the

582
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 12: issue of pushing the recess appointments is another brilliant piece

583
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 12: of political strategy from President Trump. You saw when Matt

584
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 12: Gates was nominated, he immediately resigned from Congress, so he

585
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 12: burned the boats. He's going full steam ahead. This is

586
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 12: a great show of confidence. And now President Trump is

587
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 12: going to be entering office by putting even Senate Publican

588
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 12: leadership on its heels. Senate Republican leadership has never been

589
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 12: known for being the most rock ribbed conservative group in

590
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 12: the United States. So President Trump already is forcing them

591
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 12: to take sides. He's beginning his negotiation by fucking past

592
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 12: the sale. He's throwing out everything Matt Gates recess appointments.

593
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 12: So even if they pull it back a little bit, Okay, okay,

594
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 12: mister Trump will give you Matt Gates, but just please

595
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 12: don't do it for a recess appointment.

596
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: Okay.

597
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 12: Great Trump is exactly what he wanted, and it's because

598
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 12: the man's a good negotiator.

599
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Taulsy Gabbard. Obviously, lifelong Democrat, Taulsy Gabbard

600
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: has been very vocally anti establishment recently. I don't love her.

601
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't hate her. I love the idea that somebody

602
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: with an axe to grind against our evil intelligence community

603
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: is now going to be kind of in charge of

604
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: the intelligence community.

605
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: I like it a lot.

606
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's a great pick. I'm very pro Tulsie.

607
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 12: This is a good spot for her too. Someone asked

608
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 12: me if Tulca Gabbard were qualified for this, and I thought, well,

609
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 12: she's got military service, she's served in Congress. She's obviously

610
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 12: a thoughtful woman, and she's come to conclusions that were

611
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 12: politically difficult for her, but it led her to switch parties.

612
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 12: So I think she's got a ton of credibility on

613
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 12: all of that front. I also think it helps that

614
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 12: she's a woman, because the DNI has to be rather organized.

615
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 12: You know, you're bringing together what like eighteen agencies or something.

616
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 12: You've got to organize all of that. So I think

617
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 12: Tulsi is actually a phenomenal pick all around. I don't

618
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 12: really see the criticism of it. This is something that

619
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,239
Speaker 12: Trump has done well with some of these appointments, is

620
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 12: even for controversial appointees, he's putting them in positions that

621
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 12: are really good for them. He made this point at

622
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 12: his rallies at the end of the campaign. He said, Look,

623
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 12: we love Bobby Kennedy on health. We love Bobby Kennedy

624
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 12: on big pharma. We don't like Bobby Kennedy so much

625
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 12: on energy and oil and natural gas. So we're not

626
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 12: going to put him over there. We're not going to

627
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 12: put him at the EPA, We're not going to put

628
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 12: him in charge of drilling. We're going to put him

629
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 12: at the places where we can all agree. I think

630
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 12: even with someone like Mike Waltz, who's not the most

631
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 12: right wing Republican when he was in Congress, but he

632
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 12: could probably make a pretty good NSSA. Domestic policy is

633
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 12: not going to matter with NSA. And I think here

634
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 12: with Pulsey, the fact that she is skeptical of some

635
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 12: a lot of corruption within the deep state and within

636
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 12: the intelligence agencies, DNA is a perfect place for her.

637
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, I know you like the fact that she's

638
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: a woman, but that is actually the part that concerns

639
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: me the most. Having a woman in any position of

640
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: power or leadership.

641
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: Doesn't that concern you.

642
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 12: Michael Well, I thought, Jesse, speaking to you directly, I

643
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 12: thought that by making this point on organization that I

644
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 12: might be able to make it past your virile facade.

645
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 12: But apparently not, I have failed at that endeavor.

646
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: Well, best of luck to you and yours.

647
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: Michael Liles, Thank you, brother, I appreciate you very much.

648
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: All Right, we have a lot of economy talk. Saint

649
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: Ange is gonna join us in just a moment. Before

650
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: we get to Peter, I want to get to sleeping. Well,

651
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: I love to sleep. There's just nothing like waking up

652
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: in the morning and knowing it's gonna be a good

653
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: day because I am rested and ready versus not feeling

654
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: like that's the worst feeling in the world. Dream Powder

655
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: from Beam is what you need in your life. You

656
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: will sleep good every night and you don't wake up

657
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: groggy I'm tired and miserable. And that's the difference because

658
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: it's natural, not a bunch of chemical garbage. It's natural

659
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: melotone and things like that. It's a cup of hot chocolate.

660
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: I warm up a little little glass of milk, a

661
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: little coffee cup of milk in the microwave, little dream

662
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: powder in there, Mix it in, cup of hot chocolate,

663
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: out like a baby.

664
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: You want to think about that every single night.

665
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: Shopbeam dot com, slash.

666
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly, we'll be back.

667
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: I know we're all distracted right now by the incoming

668
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: administration and ag here and things there. But there are

669
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: little things, oh I don't know, like the economy that

670
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: still matters more than really everything else. We got word

671
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: yesterday inflation rose to two point six percent.

672
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 2: That is obviously not good.

673
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: Budget deficit jumped to two hundred and fifty seven billion

674
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: dollars and oh that's not annual. That was October, so

675
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: clearly things are not going all that well. We figured

676
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: we should probably figure out what's going on, bringing in

677
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: Peter Saint Ange of the Wonderful Heritage Heritage Foundation. Okay, Peter,

678
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: I was trying to go through some economic numbers over

679
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: the past couple of days to see where we're at,

680
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: and to be frank, they're horrifying.

681
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 2: But tell me, tell me if I'm reading this wrong.

682
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: I you're absolutely right. So you know, the offends in

683
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: a position where jobs are falling, inflation is rising again.

684
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: You know, inflation was supposed to be transitory. Right, We're

685
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 4: on a going on fifty three months of rising core inflation.

686
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 4: I think we're about forty months where core inflation has

687
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 4: been over three percent, So that was transitory. Where the

688
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 4: FED is right now is that in theory, what the

689
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 4: Fed's supposed to do is to balance out economic growth

690
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 4: and inflation. Now, a CNEK might say that, of course,

691
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 4: because they create inflation and because they create recessions. You know,

692
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 4: they're like a gasoline thief who just tries to siphon

693
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: it off one gallon at a times, so you know,

694
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 4: they kind of try to keep them both out of

695
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 4: the headlines. The problem is that right now where we

696
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 4: are is that in this economy, which is still Joe

697
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: Biden's economy, unfortunately, inflation is rising and jobs are falling,

698
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 4: which is not supposed to happen. So the Fed is

699
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 4: a deer in the headlights. They don't know what to

700
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 4: do next. When Donald Trump was elected, one of the

701
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 4: first things that happened was bonds rose, so yields rose,

702
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 4: which suggests that the Federal Reserve is going to have

703
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 4: to hike rates, and you know it could be maybe

704
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 4: because the Fed doesn't really want to play ball, the

705
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 4: figure that Trump is going to catch the blame for

706
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 4: any jobs crash, and so they figure, all right, let's

707
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 4: just pay attention to inflation because there people are blaming

708
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 4: it for it. But they are in a way handing

709
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 4: Trump a turd of an economy. That was Ed Dowd's phrasing,

710
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: basically clearing up, you know, all these things that they've

711
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 4: been hiding for the past year to try to get

712
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 4: through the election. Well, there's this point you can just

713
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: let it all rip, lay it all out in the open,

714
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 4: and you know that New York Times is going to

715
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 4: say that's all Trump's economy that they're gonna blame it

716
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 4: all on him, Peter.

717
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: I know this is not your particular area. We talk

718
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: about a lot, but I am curious that there's cause

719
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: and effect to everything. If mass importation is something that

720
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: Trump goes forward with, and it certainly looks like he

721
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: intends to do so, in fact, you can basically bank

722
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: on it. Now is that going to be I know,

723
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: in the long run that's an economic benefit for Americans.

724
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: But in the short term, are we going to take

725
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: it on the chin in one way or another? I know, Oh,

726
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: that kind of massive economic dislocation can really mess things up.

727
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

728
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 4: So there are two really big benefits to it, and

729
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 4: you're right, it's a massive long term benefit, there's no question.

730
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 4: But if we're talking about the short run, there are

731
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 4: two big benefits to it, which is that we have

732
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 4: to spend all this money on migrants. So currently we

733
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 4: spend something like one hundred and fifty to three hundred

734
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 4: and fifty billion a year on them. That of course

735
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: has to come out of debt nowadays. The other big

736
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 4: benefit is that you free up something like five or

737
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 4: ten million houses, right, so housing prices almost immediately go down,

738
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 4: rents go down. The bad part is that when Americans

739
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 4: take those jobs. Right, when the immigrants go home and

740
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 4: they're not at the you know, chicken factories, and they're

741
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 4: not mowing lawns. When Americans take those jobs, Americans will

742
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 4: not work for peanuts, right, They're gonna want a higher wage.

743
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 4: So that, yes, is going to feed through two higher prices,

744
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 4: unless we lay off enough federal workers that you then

745
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: have a labor surplus which trickles down. Now, you're not

746
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 4: necessarily going to see bureaucrats mowing lawns, although I would

747
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 4: love to see that. But if you suddenly have a

748
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 4: bunch of released workers who were producing absolutely nothing, if

749
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 4: you release them out, then that is going to cancel

750
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 4: out even that effect. So personally, that's what I want.

751
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 4: I'm want to send everybody home who's here legally and

752
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: fire millions of federal workers so they can take the jobs.

753
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: Are you sure we can't have bureaucrats mowing lawns and

754
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: cleaning toilets, Peter, Because that's really really something I would

755
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: like to see a dream economy, I gotta admit, all right,

756
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: speaking of the FED, Jerome Powell was sounding a little defined,

757
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: if you will.

758
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 3: Here.

759
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 13: He was Hi Victoria Gena with Politico. Some of the

760
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 13: president's elects advisors have suggested that you should resign. If

761
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 13: he asked you to leave, would you go?

762
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 4: No?

763
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 13: Can you follow up on it? Do you think that

764
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 13: legally you're not required to leave?

765
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 2: No, Peter, what do you make of all that?

766
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 4: He thinks we work for him? Okay, so Trump can

767
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 4: demote him. He can demote him the regular board member,

768
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 4: he's got one vote out of seven. However, you can't

769
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 4: do that until there's an opening on the board, which

770
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: is early twenty twenty six. Howell's term is up in

771
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 4: mid twenty twenty six. It may not be that much. Point.

772
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 4: Congress can pack the FED, which would be good fun.

773
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 4: Of course, they can also just end the FED. That's

774
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 4: the other easy solution of this problem. But really the

775
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 4: wider question here is yes, statutorily, the president cannot fire

776
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 4: the head of the FED. And the question is why

777
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 4: is that the case?

778
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: Right?

779
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 4: So, if the FED is not answering to the president,

780
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 4: that means he's not answering the voters. He's not answering

781
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 4: the voters. Who on earth is he answering to? Is

782
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 4: it the bankers? Right? So it's true that the president

783
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 4: cannot fire, say a Supreme Court justice. But that is

784
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 4: because that is one of the three branches of government

785
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: in the Constitution. In this case, this guy is sheltered

786
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 4: from the representatives of voters and he's working for an organization,

787
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 4: the Federal Reserve, which, first of all, it's a private organization. Secondly,

788
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 4: it is certainly not constitutional. There is no delegation anywhere

789
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 4: in the Constitution. In fact, the only mention in the

790
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 4: Constitution of money is that the government is allowed to

791
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 4: buy bullion like bars of gold, and then turn those

792
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 4: into coins and sell those. That is the only monetary

793
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 4: role of the government. They can do that if they want.

794
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 4: Aside from that, his organization is entirely unconstitutional.

795
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I imagine having a currency backed by gold. Wouldn't

796
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: that be something? Okay, how quickly can Donald Trump, if

797
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: he does have a turd of an economy, as you said,

798
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: how quickly can he get something rolling? We know we're

799
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: going to have a better energy policy. We already talked

800
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: about the illegal immigration aspect of this. We know we're

801
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: going to get some deregulation. How quickly can we expect

802
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: things to get moving again?

803
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, if we look at Trump one point zero,

804
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 4: he knows the exact ingredient. How to do it right.

805
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 4: You get energy production up. Drill, baby drill. You do

806
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 4: tax cuts so that people have a reason to produce,

807
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 4: People go back to work, People come out of the sidelines,

808
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 4: they go back, find a job, start a business. And

809
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 4: deregulation so people are actually allowed to go out there

810
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: and build a business to invest. So we know the

811
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 4: exact recipe. We know that Trump wants to do all

812
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 4: those things that people he's floating for Treasury secretary, for example,

813
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 4: is kind of a clue on what his priorities are.

814
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 4: And people like Bascent are just absolutely fantastic when it

815
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 4: comes to those They know the exact recipe. The problem is,

816
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 4: are we already in recession? Are we on the edge

817
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,479
Speaker 4: of recession? Are we already in recession? Remember that when

818
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 4: the government announces recessions, they typically do it about a

819
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 4: year after they begin, Right, The Fed just did this

820
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 4: jumbo rate cut a couple of months ago. It only

821
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 4: does that when we're in recessions. It has never ever

822
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 4: done that when the economy is doing just fine. So

823
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 4: there are a lot of indicators. We can look at

824
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 4: the jobs numbers, the GDP numbers, the inflation numbers at

825
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 4: this point, there's a lot of indicators that we may

826
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 4: already be in recession. If that's the case, Trump is

827
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 4: being dropped onto a treadmill that is already going like

828
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 4: ten miles an hour. He's gonna run just to try

829
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 4: to keep us out of recession. He knows how to

830
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 4: do it. But Kenny outrun the recession.

831
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you make of this?

832
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: Elon Musk vivek Department of Government Efficiency as somebody who's

833
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: wanted to fire virtually every government employee for the really

834
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: the entirety of my adult life. I love the idea

835
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: of it. What can they do? How hopeful should we

836
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: be of this? What do you think of it?

837
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 2: Peter?

838
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 4: I think it is fantastic that we are even having

839
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 4: the discussion in the first place. The way that they

840
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 4: structured is like a libertarian's dream. So this thing is

841
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 4: gonna run until what is it, July fourth, twenty twenty six,

842
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 4: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Republic, and then

843
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 4: it's going to full chop. So Musk has promised he

844
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 4: thinks he can cut two trillion out of our current budget,

845
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 4: which is about six and a half trillion. I think

846
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 4: that is absolutely doable. The GAO, which is like the governor,

847
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 4: the government's accountant. They already say that there's up to

848
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 4: five hundred billion in waste and fraud that they know about.

849
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 4: You cut the money to Ukraine, the foreign wars, the

850
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 4: foreign aid, the illegals, it's probably another trillion. You put

851
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 4: all that together, y end welfare to the able bodied,

852
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 4: which is deeply unpopular, but it somehow manages to happen.

853
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 4: You got another five hundred billion there. You just do

854
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: those three things, you're already at two trillion, but you

855
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 4: can zoom out from that. Right, so, Trump constitutionally has

856
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 4: the authority to fire ninety seven percent of federal bureaucratso

857
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 4: point nine million out of three million of them, if

858
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 4: he wants Moreover the if you look back to the constitution, right,

859
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 4: so the tenth Amendment only the stuff that is listed

860
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 4: in the constitution delegated powers. That's the only things the

861
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 4: federal government is allowed to do. Everything else is illegal,

862
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 4: it's unconstitutional. So that's approximately four agencies out of four

863
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 4: hundred right, Justice, State, Defense, Treasury, everything else is illegal.

864
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 4: So in my dream world, you cut out all those agencies.

865
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 4: You probably got to keep so security and medicare, because

866
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 4: people have already paid for those. I think that's a

867
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 4: special case that's more complicated near term. If you keep

868
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 4: just those four agencies, you keep so scurity, medicare, you're

869
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 4: talking about about maybe two and a half trillion. That

870
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 4: will be four trillion dollars in cuts. At that point

871
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 4: we would be running a two trillion dollars surtplus we

872
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 4: would pay off the national debt in what is it,

873
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 4: eighteen years, So I think it is absolutely doable. The

874
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: question is does Congress play long and there We've got

875
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 4: different models in the past. We have the Base Realignment

876
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 4: Committee back in the nineties when you know, we had

877
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 4: too many military bases and the Republicans and the Democrats

878
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 4: got together and did something sane. So some of that

879
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 4: is going to need Congress on it, but the vast

880
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 4: majority of it, including firing the bureaucrats, that's all Trump.

881
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: Oh my heart beat still, Peter, my brother, thank you

882
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: so much.

883
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 2: Come back soon. Let's hope.

884
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: Slash it all, baby, slash it all.

885
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: All right, it's time to lighten the mood. Next.

886
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: All right, it's time to lighten the mood. And I

887
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: will tell you I like my country. I like how

888
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: we handle our business. Obviously we talked about the problems,

889
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: but I like how we handle our business here until

890
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: I saw this video from New Zealand and how their lawmakers,

891
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: how they responded to a bill they didn't and I

892
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: don't know whether or not the bill was good. I

893
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: couldn't understand anything anyone's saying, but gosh, this looks sweet.

894
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: The house is the house is suspended.

895
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: Until the ringing of the bells. Yes, that was a lot.

896
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 2: That was awesome. I see you to mo
