3-5-25 - 7am - Decorum, Susie Wiles and Appalling Waste

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Will it might have been a little lack of decorum.
I think he earned the right to be able to
call anybody out he wants, Like four years he was
ran under the bus, so Miss Pocahontas can handle it,
and everybody else liked it, So yeah, I think I
was perfectly in line.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Michael.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
The depth of my dislike and disagreement for Elizabeth Warren
is really really deep. But I don't like it when
he calls when the President calls her Pokehontas, it just
it bothers me.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Here's what I love about radio. So I just kind
of threw that out as I at the same time
that I found it funny, and I'm really glad the
camera shot over to Elizabeth Warren when he said it,
because I wanted to see what her reaction was, and

(01:00):
of course her reaction is I think exactly what I
would have done. I would have not that I support
what they were supporting, but I would have continued if
I if I had been clappy, I would have continued
to clap and I would have smiled like she did,
kind of like yeah, you know, you know, kind of
I'm sure she was thinking to herself, f you is

(01:21):
what she was going through her head. But that's kind
of that's what I would have expected a US senator
to do. Now, trust me, she'll turn around at some
point and she will, as you'll hear from some other
people that talked about the speech later. You'll hear other
people going after Donald Trump, you know, because he sounded
like well, he sounded like Hitler last night. You know,

(01:43):
all we had to do is just stand up and salute.
See Kyle. It's absurd. But my point is within this audience, everybody,
I wouldn't say it's I don't know, maybe it is
fifty to fifty. Listen to the text messages fifty eight
to eleven. Michael, I know he was rather put on
the spot. But the correct nickname, for the sake of

(02:04):
effectively pointing out Senator Warren shortcoming isn't Pocahontas. It's Foxahonnas
full of honnas to make the point that she is
a fake Indigenous person using that fake status to gain
positions of compensated employment and government. Zero five three zero, Mike,
you're exactly right. Leave out the name calling and what

(02:26):
was said. We'll speak much louder would have made a
bigger impact. Seventy five, ninety two. Michael, I actually don't
mind Trump occasionally blistering that crop of rapid Hyaena Democrats.
They called that tune a long time ago. Google number
four thousand. That's a great phone number. I'd like to
have that phone number. Four thousand, three zero three blank,

(02:47):
four thousand. That's pretty good. Michael. I think President Trump's
comment was inappropriate. Like you were saying prior to playing
the sound bite, there should be your respect for the
chambers in the office. Just my thoughts three zero two
year o, Mike. The Pocahontas comment is exactly what I
voted for. It pales in comparison to what the dims
and war and herself have called Trump, me and seventy

(03:09):
seven million voters ninety won seventy seven, michaelely gave his
enemies ammunition and also missed the overall point. Like you said,
uh seventy one fourteen, Mike, I thought Trump calling Elizabeth
Warren Pocahontas during the speech was completely disrespectful to her,
and that is one hundred percent what I voted for

(03:33):
ninety won seventy seven, Michael. Trump's bad habit of name
calling that should have been left out of the speech.
He just couldn't help himself. See it's it's what's great
about this audience and about us, as Goober's, is that

(03:54):
we can disagree on this. I thought it was fun
but inappropriate. I don't think he should have done it. Now.
I haven't seen, of course, now I haven't done any
show prep this morning, obviously, but I didn't see anything
last night as I was digging frantically through X about

(04:15):
it or anywhere else in the in the news about
any blowback from it. But it does go to my
point that we're starting. Somebody mentioned in the text line
that it's uh, it pales in comparison to say the
British Parliament. Well, of course it does, because we're not

(04:39):
a parliamentary system. We're we're we're a constitutional republic and
we just have no Don't get me wrong. The Brits
have some great historic figures in their history too. But
in the holes where you know a Daniel Webster would

(05:01):
would walk, where in the halls where you know Abraham
Lincoln fought for the thirteenth Amendment, where those great debates occurred,
where FDR told the nation that you know, we have
declared war and we have nothing to fear but fear itself.

(05:25):
Where great things are said, where great debates occur, it personifies,
it brings to life how this republic operates. Now, you
know that historically a lot worse things have been said

(05:46):
and a lot worse things have been done.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Duels.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I mean, I forget the name of the of the
two congressmen, but we actually had a fistfight where one
was left bleeding and permanently paralyzed on on the on
the floor of the chambers. So it's nothing new, ecclesiastic,

(06:10):
because it's true, there's nothing new under the sun. But
in a speech given by a guy that is known
for weaving in and out, for a guy who's known
to riff, and you know, there'll be something on the teleprompter,
and he'll go off the teleprompter for a little while
and then come right back to it. I thought that

(06:32):
the Pocahontas comment took away from the discipline that was
being shown last night. She wasn't recognized, She only peered
on a camera. At least. Now again, my eyes are
jumping between my laptop and the television screen in front
of me, and I'm going back and forth. So I

(06:54):
may have missed it. But at one point when they
mentioned that the president's cabinet was coming in, they showed
the cabinet members and they're and they're in the order
of succession, you know, Marc L. Rubio, followed by the
Secretary of Treasury and you know, on down the line.
But Susie Wiles was there. Do you know who she is?

(07:18):
Susie Wiles is the President's chief of staff. She's a
long time but under the radar Washington insider she is. Uh.
I would say she's pretty much responsible for the election
of Ron DeSantis in Florida. She is one of these

(07:38):
behind the scenes individuals that brought She and her and
her co manager brought discipline to this presidential campaign, and
they brought discipline and order to this West wing. And
I think we're seeing the results of that. I think

(07:59):
you combine as Susie Wiles with Trump's four years in
the wilderness at mar A Lago. But you know, if
you're going to be in the wilderness, mar Alogue is
not a bad place to be. So I think that
the law fair. Look, this is this is proof that
when when when I'm speaking to a group of people

(08:25):
and I talk about some of the hell that I
went through. I remind them that if you firmly believe
in what you were doing, and you believe that you
were right, and you can articulate what you were doing
and why it was right and it was the right
decision to make, then you will eventually come out on top.

(08:46):
It may take long, you know, for some people. It's
longer times, shorter times. It just depends on all the circumstances.
But you eventually will come out on top. And I
think what Susie Wiles has brought to Trump is is
that during those four years in the wilderness, after all
that lawfare, because remember, it's easy to forget in this

(09:08):
very moment, it's easy to forget that at the same
time that he was campaigning again to do something it's
only been one other time in American history, and that's
to serve two nonconsecutive terms forty five and forty seven,
Susie Wilds was quietly working her magic to bring out

(09:32):
of all of that chaos that he was dealing with,
some order and some discipline and some strategy and then
tactics to implement that strategy. And I think that that
speech last night was a result of that there was little.
I mean, I guess because again not watching all the time,

(09:53):
but listening. I'm listening for the riffs. They were still
there a little bit, but very minutely. It wasn't like
the weave where he reaches a period at the end
of a sentence on the teleprompter and he goes off
with a riff and a weave that goes on for

(10:13):
you know, twenty or thirty minutes, and then he comes
back to the point in the teleprompter and picks right
up where he was and keeps going. It may instead
have been five seconds or fifteen seconds, and then Boomy's
right back. Very disciplined, and I think that that discipline
shows why the American public, by a margin of in

(10:35):
one poll, sixty nine percent approval. Another poll, the CBS poll,
seventy three percent approval of the speech last night. And
that's among all viewers. That's not you know, that's okay,
we've got all viewers. Now let's see what Republicans thought
about it. Now, this is all viewers are at sixty
nine and seventy three percent approval. So I would say, touche,

(10:58):
mister President pumplished something. Now, this clip is fairly long,
and I could play you a shorter version, but I
think it takes it out of context I've said in
the In fact, I told Dragon this morning because we
looked up. Dragon and I were having our pre production

(11:20):
meeting and in which he just comes in ambitious about stuff,
and we happened to glance up at the TV monitors
because he had seen saying, you'd seen something on CNN
Celine Dion to remix or a song or something. CN
is talking about Celia Celine Dion this morning, and of
course over here on Fox News on the other monitor,

(11:41):
they're talking about last night's speech, and they're showing the
kid who, by the way, you're right, I was wrong
he was thirteen years old. It was he was six
when he had the cancer. He's now thirteen years old.
They were showing him on Fox this morning, and I
swear the guy is on the press it's I think

(12:02):
it's his asbergers, and I think it's he just can't
help himself. Elon Musk is really starting to drive me
a little bit crazy. Now. I love what he's doing,
Don't get me wrong. I love what he's doing. Because
last night, during the speech, Trump pointed out example after
example after example of the absolute astonishing amount of waste

(12:27):
of your money. When you point out twenty two billion
dollars that was going to support Biden and Obama Democrat operatives,
who would you know, you know, the twenty two billion
they found that the EPA had just banked somewhere. Do

(12:48):
you know why they banked the money. They banked the
money in order to give time for the people that
were leaving the Biden administration to go set up their
NGOs so they could then draw down the money and
essentially pay themselves. This is third world corruption bull crap,

(13:08):
And this is what Musk and his twenty somethings are
out there pointing out. Now. While I'm excited about that
and I think it's great and we need to hear it,
Congress has to do something about it. Now. Trump can,

(13:29):
and I'm all for this. He can rescind the appropriation,
he can impound the appropriation, and then if Congress doesn't
like what he's done, then then go fight in the courts,
because I think it's time we reach the point in
the country where we recognize, then when the Constitution says
that all executive power resides in the president, part of

(13:49):
the executive power is yes, Congress can authorize the spending
of the money, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the president,
if he thinks that that money is inappropriate or it's
being wasted, that he cannot impound it and stopped the spending.
If he doesn't have that power, then why have a
president listen to this list.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Of taxpayer dollars?

Speaker 2 (14:16):
And to that end I have created I'm sorry to interrupt,
but that applause came from Trump's left side. No, I
don't mean left is in the political spectrum. I mean

(14:37):
it came from the Republican side of the chamber. The
Democrats can't even applaud trying to save you money. The
Democrats can't even applaud pointing out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
The brand new Department of Government Efficiency go.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Perhaps you've heard of it. Rich is headed by Elon Musk.
Poison the gallery tonight.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's funny. So they're little thought to be auction house
paddles that they had their little ping pong paddles. Some
of them had written on it Musk steals. So the
richest man in the world is stealing money from the taxpayers. Wow,
that takes some kind of stupid to think that.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Thank you, Elan, he's working very hard. He didn't need this,
he didn't need this. Thank you very much. We appreciate it.
Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
I believe they just don't want to admit that.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Just listen to some of the appalling waste. We have
already identified twenty two billion dollars from HHS to provide
free housing and cars for illegal aliens. Forty five million
dollars for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma. Forty

(16:28):
million dollars to improve the social and economic inclusion.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's what Dragon's a sedentary migrant. Yeah, he just sits
back there on this formally fat ass and doesn't do anything.
He's just a sedentary migrant.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Eight million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the African
nation of Lesuto, which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty
million dollars for indigenous peoples and Afro Colombian empowerment in
Central America.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Sixty million dollars, eight.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Million dollars for making mice transgender.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
This is real. Two oh, he goes on, He goes
on and Democrats can't applaud. When do you get rid
of that kind of bullcrap? My heart went out to
the half dozen Republicans that had set on the Democrats

(17:38):
side of the aisle. We really could use some more
Republicans over there, Yeah, we really could. And you know what,
one of the last night I tweeted this, I said,
there's only one word for this speech, and that word

(17:58):
is based. And if you don't know the urban meaning
of the well, or maybe it's in the dictionary too,
the meaning of the word based, go look it up.
But let me describe it to you this way. Here's
what I thought about as I thought, not so much

(18:19):
about all the interruptions or the applause, none of the
mechanics of the speech, but the substance of the speech
is that it was based. When you've been indicted, when
you've been dragged through courtroom after courtroom after courtroom, when

(18:43):
you've had your home you're the former freaking president of
the United States of America, and you've had your home
rated by a bunch of swat members from the FBI,
and you've had the former First Ladies Bureau and drawers
and chests and everything else dug through and in staged photographs.

(19:10):
When you've been shot at, when you've had two or
three assassination attempts, you don't give an F anymore. You
just don't have any fs to give. And that's what
I saw coming through last night. And it's kind of
what you hear when you hear this list of wasteful spending.

(19:36):
Now again, I caution all of us, it's great to
hear these things. But for example, last night, in a
case coming out of the District of Columbia courts, the
federal courts in DC, the trial courts, they imposed an
injunction on Trump stopping and I don't have I've only

(19:59):
seen the Chief Justices order that temporarily halted the freezing
of those funds. And then last night at midnight, the
Supreme Court, on a five to four vote let the

(20:22):
district courts stopping of the freezing of the funds, in
other words, allowing the funds or ordering the funds to
be spent. On a five to four vote, Chief Justice
Roberts and Associate Justice Amy Comy Barrett voted with the
liberals to let that money go through. So this is

(20:50):
a fight that I want to have I want to
have it with the Congress. I want to have it
with the courts because I firmly believe that and we're
going to get to the list. I firmly believe that
if you're going to have a president, yes, Congress controls
the purse. Congress decides here, we're going to spend money here, here, here,

(21:11):
and here. But when the president looks at Okay, you've
authorized twenty two million dollars for whatever it might be,
but that's not something we should be spending money on.
And if i'm the it's it's. For example, if the

(21:32):
board of a company says we're going to spend twenty
two million dollars to study transgenderism in mice, and you
go back to your c suite and you're talking to
your project managers and others, and they say, you know,
we really can't do it. There's not anything that's going
to come out of this. It's going to be helpful
to the company. You can decide not to spend the money.

(21:55):
You can impound the money, and then you can go
back to the board, or the board can come to
you at the next quarterly meeting and say, hey, we
gonn to send You're not spending the money, and you
can have that fight once once again. There's no requirement
to immediately go out and just spend the money. In fact,
I would argue that you have a fiduciary responsibility to
those board and to the shareholders to not spend that

(22:18):
money and to go back and try to convince the board.
There's a waste of time and money and effort. You
shouldn't be doing it. That's your job as the CEO,
that's the job of the president.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Billion dollars for a left wing propaganda operation in Boldova,
ten million dollars for mail circumcision in Mozambique, twenty million
dollars for the Arab Sesame Street in the Middle East program,
twenty million dollars for a program one point nine billion

(22:49):
dollars to recently created Decarbonization of homes committee headed up
and we know she's involved just at the moment the
money was passed over by a woman named Stacy Abrams.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Have you ever heard of.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
A three point five million dollar consulting contract for.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Lavish fish monitoring?

Speaker 5 (23:16):
One point five million dollars for voter confidence in Liberia,
fourteen million dollars for social cohesion in Mali, fifty nine
million dollars for legal alien hotel rooms in New York City.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
He's a real estate develop He's done very well.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to increase VAGAN local
climate action innovation in Zambia. Forty two million dollars for
social and behavior change in Uganda. Fourteen million dollars for
improving public procurement in Serbia. Forty seven million dollars for

(23:57):
improving learning outcomes in Asia. Asia is doing very well
with learning. Don't know what we're doing. We should use
it ourselves. At one hundred and one million dollars for
DEI contracts at the Department of Education, the most ever
paid nothing even like it under the Trump administration. All

(24:19):
of these scams and they're far worse, but I didn't.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Think it was appropriate to talk about them.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
They're so bad.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Many more have been.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Found out and exposed and swiftly terminated by a group
of very intelligent, mostly young people headed up by Elan, and.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
We appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
We found hundreds of billions of dollars of.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Are We've taken back the.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Money and do show debt to fight inflation and other things.
Taking back a lot of that money. We got it
just in time. This is just the beginning the government.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
The funny part is, so they're waving their sothabe auction
house paddles, their little ping pong paddles, and they're booing
this why, it shows you how little respect they have
for the working men and women of this country that
pay the bills. For that matter, it shows how little

(25:35):
respect they have for their so called millionaire and billionaire
class that pays the majority of taxes in this country.
It shows you just how little they care about anything
other than whatever their vested special interest is. Because you know,
in every one of those situations, and maybe that's an overstatement,

(25:56):
but you know that in most of those situations, there's
an somewhere, there's a nonprofit, there's some charitable organization where
they're getting kickbacks. And I specifically decided to use the
word kickback because it encompasses every form of a kickback.

(26:17):
That very NGO may turn around and make a campaign contribution,
that very NGO may hire the wife, which we know
occurs in some instances where members of the United States
Senate their wives are working for an NGO, and the
NGO gets tens of not hundreds of millions of dollars

(26:39):
from the very senators that are voting on the Appropriation
bill to send that money that NGO. We're in in
terms of a functioning government, it is corrupt to the
core and anyone, anyone at all who objects to the

(27:06):
taking this big ash Doge flashlight and shining on all
of these examples. And he could have spent an hour
and a half an hour, forty five minutes just going
through all the examples. And of course the thing that
we have to be very very conscious of is, for example,

(27:28):
I keep getting asked, is he really cutting Medicaid or Medicare?
Is he really cutting social Security? So I read a
story yesterday there was a head You know, I always
go look at Drudge to see what left wing propaganda
they're pushing out on people Medicare or social Security cuts coming. Well,

(27:49):
there may indeed be social Security cuts coming, but not
because of fraud, waste, and abuse, but because it's fiscally insolvent.
But set that aside for a moment. The story makes
you think that Doge and Trump are out to cut
Medicare and Medicaid and social security benefits. That's not what
the story was about. When you actually read the story
as opposed to do it just reading the headline. You

(28:11):
find out that, oh, they're finding places where we can
cut costs by automating, for example, the application process. So
if you're just coming onto Social Security or you're just
coming onto medicare, where you don't have to go for example,
I mean there, sometimes it is automated. Sometimes it's not.

(28:32):
If you've got a problem, you need to go to
an office. But trying to figure out a way to
use artificial intelligence to use you know, modern computer systems
to where you know, you can do almost anything online anymore, Well,
why can't we do that here? So if you cut
out and that's where the phrase comes, if you cut
out some of the middleman, some of the human capital

(28:56):
that's doing some of this, and instead automate it. But
that translates into all their cutting medicare. They're cutting medicaid.
Tam rasked me last night, are they really cutting medicaid?
And I said yes, for illegal aliens. Oh, oh got it,
got it. But see what they're doing. They're trying to
convince you that by trying to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse,

(29:20):
there's going to be all this mass suffering everywhere. I'd
rather have that money back, because you want, I can
use that money to much more effectively than the government can.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Hey, Mike, watching last night, I was just in anticipation
hoping that Trump would cut the Department of Education and
announce that. But on the bright side, we get three
more of these, so you.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Be just remember, the dismantling of the Department of Education
is not going to happen by executive fiat. That's a
congressionally created department, a cabinet department, and it will take
Congress to absolutely to literally demolish it. Now, they can
start demolishing it from the inside. They can start, you know,

(30:06):
dismantling it, but to eliminate it's going to take congressional action.
Trump said two things last night that I thought, in
terms of just pure politics, was really golden. The first
was when he was talking about the border.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Since taking office, my administration has launched.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
The most sweeping.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly
achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crosses ever recorded.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Thank you the media and our friends.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
And the the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
We must have.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Legislation to secure the border.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
But it turned out that all we really needed was
a new president. Brilliant other.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
You screamed that you have how many times cream creamed
Abdujah bar cream. Jean Pierre kept telling us, well, if
Congress would just get off the ruse and do something, well, no,
guess what we've achieved the lowest in the history of
the country. Turns out all we really needed was just
a new president. Yes, the other thing you said it

(31:45):
was this when it came to tax cuts.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
And the next phase of our plan to deliver the.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
Greatest economy in history is for this Congress to pass
tax cuts or everybody.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
They're in there, they're waiting for you to vote. And
I'm sure that the people on.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
My right, I don't mean the Republican right, but my
right right here.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm sure he's pointing to the Democrats.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Buddy, they're in there, they're waiting for you to vote.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
And I'm sure that the people on.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
My right, I don't mean the Republican right.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
But my right right here, I'm sure you're.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
Going to vote for those tax cuts, because otherwise I
don't believe the people will ever vote you into office.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
I'm doing you a big.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Favor by telling you that, But I know this group
is going to be voting for the tax.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
The very very big part of our plan. We had
tremendous success in our first term with it.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
A very big part of our plan.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
We're seeking permit income tax cuts all across the board
and to get urgently needed relief to Americans hit especially
hard by inflation.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
He's right now. The messaging on that is going to
be incredibly important because what's the refrain you're going to hear.
I can hear Bernie Sanders already, you know, sitting on
Meet the Press or Face the Nation, talking about these
tax cuts are favoring the millionaires and billionaires. Well, in
terms of raw dollars, I mean, if you're a billionaire
and you pay, you know, you pay a million dollars

(33:32):
a year in taxes, and I pay, you know, one
hundred thousand dollars in taxes, and mine goes down by
ten percent, that's ten thousand dollars. If he pays you know,
a million dollars in taxes, that's one hundred thousand dollars.
So yeah, I get that in raw numbers it may
look like, but no, we're talking about across the board
tax cuts. And remember, if Congress doesn't do this, your

(33:56):
taxes are going up because those tax cuts from twenty
seventeen applied across the board. So if Congress allows them
to expire, your taxes will go up, and that will
not help the economy. You see, the one thing Trump
can do that all of the presidents, including Ronald Reagan,

(34:17):
had failed to do is when you do the tax
cuts and you get the increased revenue, don't spend that
on new programs or expand programs. Use that to either
