I've got some 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: there's sort of the aftermath component of this, and that'll 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: be a lot of fun because Clay, the libs, the 27 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: shattered dreams of the communists, it is so fascinating to wow, 28 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: you assess Morning Joe. Now, I know you shared a clip, 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: but as we'll get into this in detail, I'm sure, 30 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: but how would you assess their overall emotional state? The 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: entire legacy media apparatus is in full gaslighting mode. Everything 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: that they said before today about Trump is hitler. It's 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: the end of democracy. They just act like they didn't 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: say it. They're just moving forward. I'm gonna tell you 35 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: there were parts of Morning Joe. I was watching this 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: morning that you could have aired parts of it that 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: you could have aired on Fox News and people would 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: have been like, Oh, they gotta get a new show 39 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: on Fox News. They are moving in a They're talking 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: about how wokeness is corrosive and how wokeness is crazy 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: and identity politics is poison. This is on MSNBC, so 42 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: we will get into and all of that. Clay, I 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: have some facts and figures for the aftermath here, but 44 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: I also want to say we're going to dive into 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: the future. Last week was victory dance week, Clay and 46 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: I doing little dances do The Trump Dance is amazing, beautiful, 47 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: probably the most beautiful election of all time. And this 48 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: week we can still bask in that glow. But now 49 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: the work gets going. Now the agenda, the future, the mission, 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 1: the mission of Trump two point zero, save America, save 51 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: Western civilization. Along with it that starts right now are 52 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: the appointments being made, transition stuff underway, and Clay, the 53 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: Senate battle. We'll talk about Senate leadership, how they are 54 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: angling to get appointees through recess appointments. A ton of 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: stuff going on there. So we're gonna switch a little 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: bit back and forth Today've also got some great guests 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: come up later, Riley Gains, how much the trans issue 58 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: and men and women's sports played into this. At Attorney 59 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: General Schmidt will be with us as well, talking about 60 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: stuff in this on the Senate side, So we'll dive 61 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: into all of that. But Clay, just a few figures 62 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: that we have now. Donald Trump has now clinched the 63 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: biggest popular vote count by a Republican ever, seventy four 64 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: point six million and chain, so we'll call it basically 65 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: on the way to seventy five million votes, which beats 66 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: the second highest number ever, which was Trump at seventy 67 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: four million votes. Eighty percent of counties, eighty percent of 68 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: counties nationwide moved to the right in this election. House 69 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: Republicans look like they are about to take the majority 70 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: unless something crazy happens in California and Arizona. And we've 71 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: got a couple of announcements, including Tom Homan as ICE Director. 72 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: Tom's a good man, I know Tom, We've had him 73 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: on the show. 74 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: At least. 75 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: Stefana coming out of Congress is going to be US 76 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: ambasadory the United Nations play. It feels like they're assembling 77 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: the A team and they're hitting the ground running, no doubt. 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: Steven Miller, our friend who's been on this show a 79 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: ton of times, is going to be deputy chief of 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: Staff underneath of Susie Wiles's leadership. I would, I mean, 81 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: so far on the announcements of the new Trump administration, 82 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: I think he gets an A plus. There doesn't seem 83 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: to be anybody out there that is sort of a sniveling, 84 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: you know, like oh, I hope the New York Times 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: likes me. I hope the Washington Post is going to 86 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: be favorable to me. It's just died in the wall. 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: I know what my role is. I'm gonna show up 88 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: and I'm going to go to work, and I love 89 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: everything about the move so far. Now we have Attorney 90 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: General coming. We'll talk a bit with Eric Schmidt. At 91 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: one point thirty Missouri senator. He took himself out of 92 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: the running for AG. He's had a lot of wins 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to big tech. We'll see what he 94 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: thinks about who the AG is going to be. You 95 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: mentioned Riley Gaines is going to be with us, but 96 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I would say AG and Secretary of State Buck are 97 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the next really big announcements to drop. We should also 98 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: mention that Trump has said that Nicky Hayley and also 99 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo will not be in his administration. So he 100 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: has gone ahead and kneecapped a couple of people out 101 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: there that were being pushed. And we've also got to 102 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: figure out Senate Majority leader, which is a big decision 103 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: that's going to be made by Wednesday. That's a huge 104 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: thing right now because that goes to the Trump cabinet. 105 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: It goes to all the appointees that have to be 106 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: Senate confirmed. I think there's twenty something of them. And 107 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: it goes then to also the machinery the Senate will 108 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: have in place for judges. We'll dive into this play. 109 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: I was up late last night reading about all this 110 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: to make sure that the history and you know, and 111 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: I have a clarity on how this fight is likely 112 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: to transpire. I think you and I agree that this 113 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: administration they've got eighteen months to change and possibly save 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: the country. I mean, that's really how I see it. 115 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: They've got eighteen months. It's not four years, yes, four 116 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: years for it all to play out. But within eighteen 117 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: months they've either set this thing on a footing that 118 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: is truly making America great again, or they're getting stymied 119 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: by the machine. It is going to be a fight. 120 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: No one should have any illusions. The bureaucracy is tough. 121 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: The bureaucracy will on the swamp. The fourth branch of 122 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: government will fight with everything that they have. You know, 123 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned this. Pompeo and Nikki Haley, they 124 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: both ran against Trump, and there he said they're not 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: welcome in this Now, to be fair, he was actually 126 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: pretty gracious about it. He just said, look, they're great, 127 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: love them. They're not a part of this Trump two 128 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: point zero term. He wasn't taking swings at them. But 129 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: I think that what that is, Clay, is a recognition 130 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: that the establishmentarian Republican or the establishment Republican is not 131 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: going to be able to kind of work their way 132 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: into the center of the Trump administration because he had 133 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: too much of that in the first term. Too many 134 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: people who all of a sudden thought they knew better 135 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: than the commander in chief, and they started going and 136 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: winding to the New York Times, and some of them 137 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: even ended up turning on him entirely, and you know, 138 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: getting contracts at CNN or ABC or whatever. So that's 139 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: all where we see it. I got to tell you, 140 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: we'll dive into that Senate confirmation issue right now, which 141 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: has to do with whether, well, who will be the 142 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: Senate majority leader. We know Republicans have won the Senate, 143 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: We've got a few candidates, and how should top appointees 144 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: go through Because Democrats, I'll give you the backstory on this. 145 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: It was incredibly just underhanded and gross what they did 146 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen to Trump. We'll discuss that, But Claike, 147 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: can we just throw out there. I don't know if 148 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: you and I have exactly the same picks. I have 149 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: a feeling we're pretty similar. We know Stephen Miller, friend 150 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: of the show, brilliant guy. Can't say enough good things 151 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: about him him being Deputy chief of staff in the 152 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: White House, assuming that you know we've been that's been reported. 153 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: Couldn't think of a better pick for that. Tom Holman 154 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: couldn't think of a better pick for ice. Susie Wiles 155 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: just ran the best campaign that we've seen for the 156 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: biggest victory we've seen in decades, So you know, congrats 157 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: and hats off to her as White House Chief of Staff. 158 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: Here's here's my others, if I can throw them out there. 159 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt for White House Press Secretary, another another friend 160 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: of the show. We see talent here. I'm just saying, 161 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: we know people who have got the skills. Mike Lee 162 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz would be great too, but I think he 163 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: wants to stay in the Senate. Mike Lee for Attorney General, 164 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: what do you think? I think he would be fabulous. 165 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: He's super smart, he understands the mechanics, of how the 166 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: Department of Justice works. There are guys that are not 167 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: as constitutionally savvy that have been in the mix. I 168 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: think that Mike Lee, if he's the choice, and we 169 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: ask Eric Schmidt who he thinks the choice could be, 170 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: would be a great, great choice because I've said the 171 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: attorney General, to me, is the most important decision. Trump 172 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: has look all of the cabinet matters, but I think 173 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice is more broken right now than 174 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: it has ever been in any of our lives. And 175 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: we need someone who can go in with a sledgehammer 176 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: and just return the Department of Justice to its message, 177 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: which is treat everyone equally under the law, regardless of 178 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: their politics, race, gender, religion, all those things. And we 179 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: haven't had that for so long. This woke identity politics 180 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: virus has infected our Department of Justice. Has to be 181 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: broken up, has to be fixed. That's the one that 182 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: I care about the most. I think Mike Lee, if 183 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: he's the choice, would do really well. Yes, I've heard 184 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: some names that are in the mix for Secretary of 185 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: State right now, Marco Rubio, Rick Renelle, and we've all 186 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: these are all the names that are being bandied about 187 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: who's the third. That's Bill Haggard, Senator from Tennessee. 188 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 2: Senator Hagridy. 189 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think all they're all competent, and I 190 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: think they're all dedicated to the Trump mission. So I 191 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: don't have a particular standout in mind among that crew. 192 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: The Secretary of State under Trump administration is going to 193 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: have to deal with dismantling this axis that has grown 194 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: big peace in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend 195 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: on this where you have now Russia selling its oil 196 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: to China and China supporting North Korea with otherwise North 197 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: Korea would fall apart in starved death, while North Korea 198 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: sends soldiers to fight on the front lines of the 199 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Ukraine War. There is an axis and then using Iranian 200 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: and probably North Korean missile technology and sharing that high 201 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: level military know how between these various countries. There's some 202 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: real concern there. So you have a Secretary of State 203 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: has got some big problems, I know, China, Taiwan, Israel. 204 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: Although people are saying, do you see Doug Murray on 205 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: this one? He was great Doug Murray on the Mid 206 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: East and Israel right now, it is the best opportunity 207 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: I know Israel has been through hell. We know it 208 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: was just the worst imaginable terror talk on October seventh. 209 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: But the Israeli people have rallied, they have fought back 210 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: against their enemies, and Israel is now in a better 211 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: place strategically in the Middle East than anytime I can 212 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: remember in my lifetime, because they've just decided the enemies 213 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: are no longer going to be allowed to stay on 214 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: the battlefield. So there's a lot to do, there, a 215 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: lot to see. I just got to say, Clay, overall 216 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: the feeling, and I'm talking to people as you are 217 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: who are working on this very closely. This Trump team, 218 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: even they would admit first time around twenty sixteen, it 219 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: was kind of like, yeah, we'll figure it out. You know, 220 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna build the plane as we fly it a 221 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: little bit. 222 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: That was what it was. Right. 223 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: Trump was an outsider. This is looking like a well 224 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: oiled machine that wants to get after the agenda day one, 225 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: and I love to see it, no doubt. And when 226 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: Trump came in in sixteen, remember there were still a 227 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: lot of people inside the party that did not believe 228 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: in a lot of what he had run on. That 229 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: doesn't exist now. So Mike Johnson. We're going to have 230 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: a Senate majority, sorry, a House majority. That's going to 231 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: be announced soon. I think maybe as soon as today. 232 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: We'll have officially two eighteen in and then the Senate, 233 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: we'll talk about this a lot during the course of 234 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: the program, has got to pick their majority leader. But 235 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: I think everybody's going to be moving in concert. And 236 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: what you said, Buck is so important. You only really 237 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: have eighteen months to get things done, and everybody starts 238 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: running for the midterms, Trump will become a lame duck. 239 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: Everybody will start running for president right after the midterms. 240 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: Eighteen months to alter the trajectory of the country, fix 241 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: a lot of what is wrong. That's when you have 242 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: to hit the ground running, and it sounds like Republicans 243 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: are going to be prepared to do that on a 244 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: variety of fronts.

I gotta be honest, I find myself 275 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: every now and then just walking around smiling, like just 276 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: thinking about what an unbelievable, outstanding victory Tuesday night was, 277 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: and then watching the fallout. Buck, you and I were 278 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: just talking about this off air. I just see an 279 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: entirely different response than what happened in sixteen. In sixteen, 280 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: it was a stun disbelief that he could ever have won. 281 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: In twenty four, not only because he won, but also 282 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: because he's gonna win the popular vote, there is just 283 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: a resignation almost that is setting in of hey, we lost, 284 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: and this whole idea of the resistance, the Women's March 285 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: and everything else. I just I think it's broken in 286 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: many ways. Compared to sixteen, Trump is now they are 287 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: recognizing just they're not gonna be able to get rid 288 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: of him. That's why I think it's interesting for you 289 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: to be watching behind enemy lines on MSNBC. There isn't 290 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: like this steel spine. We've got to bow up and 291 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,239 Speaker 1: stand up against him. It's on some level a recognition 292 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: that they blew it and that Trump is far more 293 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: popular than they maybe had imagined. I think they realize 294 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: that when you've said that someone's gonna be hitler, and 295 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: then very rapidly it will be clear to everybody he's 296 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: not hitler. He's actually gonna be great. It's gonna go 297 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: really well for the country. You're gonna see the economy, 298 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna see energy production, you're gonna see. 299 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: Rule of law. 300 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean, so many things are gonna be going well, 301 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: and people maybe can't even start to think they're not 302 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: a little less about politics. Wouldn't that be amazing? Not you, 303 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: we want you to think about politics a lot of the 304 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: time listening to us, But I mean, just generally in 305 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: the country, people must be able to just, you know, 306 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: just dial it down a little bit, not to worry about, 307 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, the woke insanity and the faucy eye madness 308 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: and all these things we've been having to deal with. 309 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be great? 310 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: But it's very hard for the media to process this 311 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: for their audience without looking like the total frauds that 312 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: they are. 313 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: That's really where this is. 314 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think Trump's arrangement syndrome goes into remission. 315 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that it is gone gone, but I 316 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to dial it down for a while. 317 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: My belief is that they're gonna wait for either Trump 318 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: to really start the deportations and that will become the 319 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: new thing, right, that will become the Russia collusion, that 320 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: will become the central rallying point of the madness. Or 321 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: they're just hoping for some kind of a systematic financial correction, 322 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: which we're unfortunately overdue for, I hate to say it, 323 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: everybody in the markets, and then blame it all on Trump. 324 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: That's what I see them doing. I also think you're 325 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: going to start to see an audition for who is 326 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: going to be running in twenty eight and they're going 327 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: to try to define themselves by being opposed to Trump 328 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: to elevate themselves in the Democrat Party. I would expect 329 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: aoc Newsome, Pritzker, Whitmer, Shapiro. There's going to be a 330 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: bunch of those guys, governors and AOC, I would say, 331 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: angling to try to be the lead alternative to Trump. 332 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: You see that reporting that Shapiro didn't want the VP slot. 333 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: I said it on the show. Do you see this? 334 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: This is how I did see that. I also think 335 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: it's smart for him to say that now, to be 336 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: fair because she's lost, and then that makes him look smarter, 337 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: It elevates him, and they're going to hide Kamalin. We'll 338 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: talk about but she can we come back? She could 339 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: light him up. I mean just saying, like, you know 340 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: that that's a rough game to play if you really 341 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: wanted it and you didn't. I mean, I see what 342 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: you're saying. I'm just saying I think Shapiro knew that 343 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: she was not going to pull this off. But oh, 344 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: he definitely is excited that you lost. And there's a 345 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: lot of those guys out there and gals that are excited. 346 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: And by the way, if you want to be excited, 347 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: it's Monday.

And what is being discussed 363 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: right now? What's going on? We'll talk to I think 364 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: I said ag Schmidt before he was ag at Missouri. 365 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: Now he's a senator. He was being talking about it 366 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: for Attorney general, right, But he'll weigh in on the 367 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: Senate battle here as a center in just a little 368 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: bit with us. But here's here's what's happening as we 369 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: sit here, and it's there's a lot going on. The 370 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: Confirmation of Trump appointees is absolutely essential for both executing 371 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: the agenda and reforming within the system, well really from 372 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: atop the system, so that the swamp, the federal bureaucracy 373 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: can't do what it did before. This whole hashtag resistance thing, 374 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: that crap has got to be eliminated right away. Everybody 375 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: who's not on board with the agenda got to be 376 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: removed from their position, from the executive branch, from appointee 377 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: positions that there cannot be any I'm just not going 378 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: to do it. I don't recognize Trump's authority. I had 379 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: friends in the stage apartment Clay when Trump won the 380 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: first time in twenty sixteen. They were telling me there 381 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: are people who were just like, yeah, they can't do 382 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: anything to us. We just won't do what he says. 383 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: I mean, they were so and they were crying at 384 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: their desks. Of course, it was very sad, dyeing their 385 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: hair purple again, you know, being lunatics. This is what's 386 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: going on right now. We've got a few senators who 387 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: are being talked about as possibilities. 388 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: Here at the top of the list. 389 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: Senators John Cornyn of Texas, John Thune of South Dakota, 390 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: and Rick Scott of Florida. 391 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: John Thune is the minority whip so it looked like. 392 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: To me at least Clay, Corn and Thune, there's a 393 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: lot of Oh, it'll just be one of them, And 394 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: people said, hold on a second, Mitch McConnell's legacy does 395 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: not necessarily get to just determine how this goes. Trump 396 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: has weighed in, Elon has weighed in, many people have, 397 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: many people have weighed in on the need to be 398 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: able to get nominees through going back that the Democrats 399 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: is all history here. The Democrats slow walked in the 400 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: most childish ways Trump appointees in twenty sixteen, you know, 401 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, creating, you know, just extra long breaks, giving 402 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: extra long speeches just to be annoying, just because there 403 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: were such babies, because Hillary didn't break the glass ceiling. 404 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: So this time around, there's a conversation about recess appointments 405 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: and whether a Senate majority leader on the Republican side 406 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: is willing to schedule it so that there would be 407 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: a recess early after the inauguration, so it would be like, 408 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, late January, early February, where critical appointments that 409 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: they think they may run into some resistance on could 410 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: be made. Clay, what do you think about this so far? 411 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 1: What does it tell us that Rick Scott seems to 412 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: be surging as the And oh, can we actually just 413 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: real before you waited, real quick? We had him on 414 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: remember last week he made his case here to be 415 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: sent a majority leader. I read it here before anywhere else. 416 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: I'll just tell you this cut one here, this is 417 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: in a week go, Mitch McConnell is stepping down. Who, 418 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: in your mind, Senator Scott should be the next majority leader? 419 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: How do you see it playing out? 420 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 3: Well, I believe I'm going to be the next majority 421 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 3: leader because I believe what I've been talking about is 422 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: exactly what Republican senators want. If I've been talking to 423 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 3: my republic colleagues, as you know, I ran against McConnell 424 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: back in twenty two and here's what they want. They 425 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 3: want change, they want to be part of the Trump mandate. 426 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: They want to be treated as equals. They wanted to 427 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: have a real agenda to get things done. They want 428 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: to be part of a team. They know we need 429 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 3: to work with the House. And so that's what I've 430 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: been talking about, and I've been talking about since I 431 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 3: ran against McConnell. And and they know I'm a business 432 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 3: guy like Trump, they know I've got a great relationship 433 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 3: with Trump. They've got they know I have a great 434 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: relationship with the Speaker. 435 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: Mike Johnson. 436 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: And here's what business guys do. We get results. Our 437 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 3: country is in trouble. That's why Trump won. He's got 438 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 3: a mandate. I think my colleagues know that I'll have 439 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: a plan to get Trump's nominations done. I'll have a 440 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 3: plan to get Trump's agenda done. I'll have a plan 441 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 3: to get the tax cuts done. You know, I'll have 442 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 3: a plan to get stuff. 443 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: Done, so I think. But so that was Senator Rick 444 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: Scott basically announcing his candidacy in a big way with 445 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: us on Thursday. I think it's fair to say that 446 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: he has served since that interview. And look, the vote 447 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: is supposedly having on Wednesday, it is not public. There 448 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: have been all sorts of leaked ideas of who's voting 449 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: for who. Some people have put out statements saying who 450 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: they support. I think it's going to be very very close. 451 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know if Trump's going to officially weigh 452 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: in and say I want this guy. If he did, 453 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: I think that person would be the Senate majority leader. 454 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: And Twitter is taking on basically a huge role in 455 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: how this vote's going to be shaped, because Thune and 456 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: Cornyn have spent decades planning for when Mitch McConnell is 457 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 1: going to step down, the idea that they were going 458 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: to be the next man up, so to speak, Senate 459 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: majority leader. And now Rick Scott is saying, I've been 460 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: the biggest Trump supporter of this trio. Given Trump's popular 461 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: vote win and overwhelming landslide, we should be as supportive 462 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: as Trump as possible. I will be the guy now. 463 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: Fun and Cornnbuck have both been publicly critical of Trump 464 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: pretty extensively. Both guys, after the Access Hollywood tape came out, 465 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: basically backed as far away from Trump as they could be. 466 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: Both guys have been at times impediments to the Trump agenda. 467 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: And so I understand why if you are an absolute 468 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: MAGA diehard out there, why you would say I don't 469 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: want either of these guys. I want Rick Scott to 470 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: be the senator who is helming this majority ship. You're 471 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: going to have fifty three senators. Congrats to our buddy 472 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: Dave McCormick, who is the fifty third lost narrowly. Eric Huvedy, 473 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: Mike Rogers Kerry Lake and Sam brown Buck just a 474 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: little bit of more of a twist. I think if 475 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: Trumpet had a little bit more money, I think if 476 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: those guys had had a little bit more money, I 477 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: think we'd have fifty seven senators right now because and 478 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: that would have been seismic in terms of its overall 479 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: legacy and impact. And by the way, hun Cow didn't 480 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: lose by very much in Virginia either. A little bit 481 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: more money and I think we'd be talking about fifty 482 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: seven fifty six ish senators right now. But my thought is, 483 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: and I know it's a private vote, I think it 484 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: should be a public vote. That would be my biggest takeaway. 485 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: Don't do a closed ballot where people don't have to 486 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: publicly explain why they're making their choice, and a lot 487 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: of senators are coming out and saying, this guy's got 488 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: my vote or whatnot. I don't like the idea of 489 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: a closed ballot where you aren't able to see who 490 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: exactly gets the votes and how your respective senators are voting. 491 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: Not to me, seems rational if you're going to give 492 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: somebody this big of a job, arguably Buck other than 493 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson in the House Senate majority leader. Alongside of 494 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: Trump are the three most important and distinctively powerful jobs 495 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: that are going to exist come January twenty five. What 496 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: do you think about doing the recess appointments to get 497 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: around the growing opposition tactics that Democrats have really been 498 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: honing against Trump, to just make things go as slow 499 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 1: and be as annoying as poss I'm all for it, 500 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: look I think, and look, I'll say this, as long 501 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: as they have the ability to get over fifty, and 502 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: we know we're going to get over fifty, presumably all 503 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: fifty three Republicans are going to be voting for Trump's nominees. 504 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: Once you know you've got the fifty plus one or 505 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 1: the tie break with jd Vance. Basically you have a 506 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: three and a half vote majority, because you could lose 507 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: three and still break the tie with JD Vance. Like 508 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: that's pretty significant. I think the idea of like we're 509 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: gonna have grand standing and we're gonna have people fighting 510 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: against the Trump appointments. I want everybody in their jobs 511 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: at their desks, like go into work as soon as 512 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: the inauguration happens. So if that requires recess appointments, because 513 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: they're gonna otherwise drag their feet. I'm all for it. 514 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: And we're seeing the feet dragging already starting, Buck, and 515 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this with Eric Smid at one thirty. 516 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is not allowing McCormick to show up for 517 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: orientation outright because they're election denying. I get it's just 518 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. You know, they have nothing else to do, 519 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: so they're trying to throw up whatever smoke screen, whatever 520 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: nonsense they can look at. It's very straightforward if you 521 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: look at no votes on cabinet nominees by President Clay total, meaning, 522 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, counting up every no vote for every cabinet 523 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: official from different administrations. Truman thirty seven for fifty, Carter 524 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: forty nine, Reagan one hundred and twenty four, Obama four 525 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: hundred and six, Trump four hundred and thirty seven. The record, 526 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: this is a recent thing. This is an abuse, and 527 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: Republicans decided that they don't want to deal with this 528 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: nonsense anymore. It's not supposed to be just some opportunity 529 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: for foot dragging and grandstanding and pulling fire alarms and 530 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: I need a bathroom break. You can't actually get a vote. Sorry, 531 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: enough of that, Olinsky. That's all Linsky Crap. I think 532 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: you need to get the people that you need in 533 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: the roles that they're going to get into anyway, and 534 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: these games of delay Trump should just be able to 535 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: run a steamroller over it. 536 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 2: It's nonsense. 537 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, and I think all three to 538 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: be fair. Trump put this out and all three candidates, Thune, 539 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: Cornyn and Rick Scott all said, yeah, he's right. We're 540 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: gonna be using recess appointments aggressively to get everybody in 541 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: position so they can do their job. So I give 542 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: credit to Trump for already saying we got to hit 543 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: the ground running. Because to your point, Buck, you got 544 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: eighteen months, four years. I understand it's great to think 545 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: about you got eighteen months to get everything rolling. I'm 546 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: gonna throw a question to you, but I want you 547 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: to hold it so that people can listen when they 548 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: come back. Is it a mistake once again that Democrats 549 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: will regret that Soto Mayor is making by saying she's 550 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: not going anywhere, not stepping down? Good? Good question. All right, Look, 551 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: President ELEC. Trump is busy, as you know. Chief of 552 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: staff has been announced Susie Wiles Tom Homan to oversee 553 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: the borders at least aphonic you an ambassador. There are 554 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: reasons for tremendous optimism right now, but they have a 555 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: massive challenge that they have to tackle, and one of 556 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: the biggest ones is the thirty five thirty six trillion 557 00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: soon to. 558 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: Be in debt that we already have. 559 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: Look, even if they try to start chipping away at this, 560 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that we have some 561 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: systemic financial issues in this country and the money printing 562 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: has not stopped yet. So what can you do to diversify, 563 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: to take action today to prepare for an uncertain financial tomorrow. 564 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: The Birch Gold Group, Look, they're hoping to help you 565 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: diversify into precious metals like gold and silver as a 566 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: portion of your portfolio.

You 627 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: asked the question as we went to break. Is it 628 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: a mistake that Sonya Sotomayor is saying now publicly that 629 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: she will not step down. She's seventy years old, she 630 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: has diabetes. Yeah, I do think. I mean my take 631 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: in general is if you cannot fly an airplane for 632 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: a big public company, which I think your father in 633 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: law would know this better, Buck, because he was a pilot. 634 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: But I think the age is basically sixty two or 635 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: sixty five I'm not sure which one it is. You're 636 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: not allowed to fly a jumbo jet once you get 637 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: to that age, because they can tell that your overall 638 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: skill set has diminished. If you don't have that ability, 639 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: I think that you should you should step down, and 640 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: this will become a discussion. I think Buck at some 641 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: point over some of the older justices on the Republican 642 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: side too. If you desperately care about your legacy and 643 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: you want to preserve a constitutional view that you consider 644 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: to be so worthy that you have given your life's 645 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: pursuit to it, I would encourage people. They know their 646 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: health better than most. But once you get over seventy, 647 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: lots of things can happen. Yeah, if you already have 648 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: diabetes and you're not in great health, like Sonya sotomayor Is. 649 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: If I were Democrats, I would want her stepping down because, frankly, 650 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: you saw what happened with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. They tried 651 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: Buck to brag about how incredible shape she was in, 652 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,760 Speaker 1: and now Amy Cony Barrett's on the super those videos. 653 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: Step down. Oh yeah, they made all these videos and' 654 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: like she's like, yes, I'm bench pressing, look at me now, 655 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: and she had like little weights in her hands and stuff, 656 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: and there were Ruth Bader Ginsburg like workout dolls. It 657 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: was a bizarre cult of RBG. For a while, I 658 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: didn't get it so anyway, and it wasn't the right 659 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: move to tell her to keep staying in there. Yeah, 660 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be. You know, people get they slow down, 661 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: they get older, to spend some time with the grandkids, 662 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: or go do some nice charity work somewhere, go do 663 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: some pro bono, like give me a break. This is ridiculous. 664 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,720 Speaker 2: You don't be Supreme Court justice though you're one hundred. 665 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: I also think, and this is the sad part, there 666 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: are people in all different facets of life. This is 667 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: the case she doesn't have anything else. I think that's 668 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: the reality. I mean, I hope that when I'm you know, 669 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: seventy plus years old, I hope I got a bevy 670 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: of grandkids. I hope I'm chasing them around. I hope 671 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: that I am kicking my feet up and you know, 672 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: relaxing some. I think a lot of these people Sonia 673 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: sought to my yours evidence of it. If she doesn't 674 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: have that job, what else does she have in her life? 675 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: That's why I don't think she's leaving. I would offer 676 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: that there's always things that can be done that help 677 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: people add that are positive, that are appreciated, that make 678 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: a difference. But for some people, they don't want to 679 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: give up the reigns of power. That's right. They don't 680 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: want to give up being important. And that's a different 681 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: thing than having purpose. We all can have purpose every day, 682 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: being productive, being kind, being loyal, being helpful, but not 683 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: everybody get to be deciding like the fate of the 684 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: law system that we live under in the republic. 685 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 2: Right. 686 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: So you see a bit of that. 687 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 2: You see a lot of it in media. 688 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: By the way, you know some notices. When we come back, buck, 689 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: let's talk about the popular vote and what the significance 690 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: may be going forward of the win that Trump just 691 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: banged
