Thank you.

(00:02):
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate it.
Hello.
My name is Keith Tede.
I'm the host of New Media
Center for
Media and
Media.
I'm a
host of New Media Center
for Media and

(00:24):
Media.
I'm a host of
New Media Central
Podcast.
It's a weekly podcast and this week I'm talking about
the confirmations of Pete
Hague Seth and Kristi Noem
for the respective cabinet positions.
The Honorable Pete Hague Seth
is going to be the Secretary of Defense.
It's so awesome.

(00:46):
And the Honorable Kristi Noem is going to be
Secretary of Homeland Security.
Again, so awesome.
These two so much deserve these positions.
They're going to be so good at them.
They're going to get support from
President Donald Trump to do
what he said he was going to do
during the presidential
race. And I'm just super
excited about both of them. Also talk a little

(01:08):
bit about Marco Rubio.
He's already been confirmed as Secretary of
State. Awesome. Perfect guy for that.
He's done so much for the state of Florida
and he's going to do so much for the
entire country as Secretary of State.
I also talk a little bit about my
guy Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
and I hardly have a podcast
anymore at all without mentioning him.
At least a little bit. He's awesome.

(01:30):
And he's going to take care of business
in health and human services. Appreciate you
listening. Sit tight. We're going to go for a big
one here.
I just wanted to give a shout out to
Kristi Noem and Pete Hague Seth.
They were both
confirmed today

(01:52):
by the Senate and their respective
cabinet positions.
Kristi Noem's going to be
Homeland, Secretary of Homeland Security.
Pete Hague Seth is
as of today Secretary of Defense.
I've read his book
that he put out recently, The War on Warriors.
It's a good read because
it tells you where he stands as far
as what's going on in the military.

(02:14):
He has discussed
many times and it's in his book about
the
corrosion of the military by DEI
and having
female warriors.
I want to kind of take a little moment here to talk
about how I feel about it. I did a podcast on it before,
but I'm briefly going to go over it. Women,
I've known women that

(02:35):
could beat up any guy that I know.
I mean, there's some tough women out there.
It's just a natural
thing. It's a natural
human trait that
men are bigger and stronger than women.
So, how do we do this?
Well, it's easy in my book. Just like in basketball,
I get men's basketball and women's basketball.
The same thing in the military.
Keep it totally separate. You got a men's

(02:57):
you got a men's army, you got a women's army.
Navy, Air Force, Marines,
the whole bit, but you have separate.
I mean, they have separate camps. They don't mix
at all and they have their
things that they do well.
Each army
does different things or, you know, some things
are going to be the same. A lot of things are going to be different
and some
women are better at some things in combat

(03:19):
than men are.
Compassion is an example.
You think of the military and you think
of these big strong guys are just
going to go out and beat the crap out of the
the enemy, which is generally
yes, we want to do that, but sometimes
compassion is needed. Sometimes
diplomacy is needed and women
could possibly be better
diplomats than men in that situation.

(03:41):
So, yeah, I think women
definitely should be in the military
but have two separate ones. You have totally
different expectations of what
each military is going to do. Each branch
is going to do with their men and their
women and it will fit
perfectly and seamlessly as long as you keep them
separated because
one thing, when you put men and women together
in situations like that,

(04:03):
sometimes bad things happen. Sometimes
mistakes happen. Sometimes
having men and women that close to proximity
just doesn't work. So just keep them
separate. It's not a bad thing. It's not like
the men's army is going to be better than the
women's army or vice versa.
Each branch
is going to have its own specialties
that they do well. So why not?
And I know there are a lot of women who do

(04:25):
want to serve. What we need to get
away from is people joining
the military for the benefits and never
actually doing anything to earn them.
You know, I don't mean that
every single person that joins the military
needs to be on the front line of some war
because we don't want wars. The whole thing
of a strong military is
that we don't have wars. Everybody knows
you don't mess with the United States

(04:47):
because if you get in a war with them, you're going to lose.
That's what a strong military does. It keeps
you out of war. So
there's my bit on women and the
military. They are every bit
as important to our
military as men. It's just
they can't be the same. You can't lower
the standards of the men so the women
can get in and do stuff. No. It's simple.
I mean, I know there's

(05:09):
reasons they don't do it and I know
there's a lot of stuff that I don't know about it
that may make that really hard to do. But
to me, it's simple. You have this camp
over here. You have Camp Pendle in here.
You have Richard Gabau over there.
Whatever camp it is.
This one's a men's camp.
This one's a women's camp. They don't mix.
They do their own roles. They each
have their own thing that they do and they do it well.

(05:31):
That's how we fix that problem.
It may not be as simple as I'm making it, but
it's where we need to go
to me. Honestly, we can't
put them together and
lower the standards of the men just
so the women can get in. Make it separate.
They have their own standard. They can fulfill
the standards if they had certain standards that were
designed for women.
And then the men will not have to have their

(05:53):
standards reduced so that the women can get in.
He's also
very much against DEI
in the military. He says it totally
ruined the military, which it did.
A lot of people got in there that shouldn't be in there
and there's a lot of people that's top. Top heavy
with the DEI people that
have no idea
what it takes to have a strong
military. It wasn't working clearly.

(06:15):
A lot of
things happened in our military
since we started letting women in
combat that should never have
happened and were weaker. Our military
is weaker because of it.
There's a solution. We can do it.
Women can be in it. I think it'd be awesome.
It'd be a better, stronger army
to have two different genders
in the military

(06:37):
separated and doing their own things
that they have strengths in. Okay, so that's Pete.
I'm super happy
that he's going to be our Secretary of Defense.
The next one is
Kristi Noem. She is
the governor of South Dakota currently.
She's going to be in charge of Homeland Security.
Now, what a job.
I mean, we are going to grab that brass ring
on this. It's a never that we're doing to

(06:59):
stop immigration of illegals.
Stop the illegals from
coming across the border and getting the ones
who are here out. Huge order.
Tall order. She's
ready for the jobs. I agree.
From what I've seen, she's strong. She won't put
up with any crap. And she's got Tom
Hohen as her
borders are.
He's impressive. He's a big man

(07:21):
and he's very
stern about his beliefs
as far as the border goes and as far as getting
the ones that are already here out.
So with her in charge of Homeland Security
and him in charge of the border,
this project that they're working on
right now, which is closing up the border
and getting the illegals out, it's going to
happen and it's going to happen in a good way
and that it'll happen quickly

(07:43):
as quickly as can be expected. We'll
get them out. We'll shut the door and we'll get
all the bad ones out and start
over. And we'll let a lot of good ones in.
It's awesome. There's a lot of people that want
to come to this country now more than ever. They want
to come here. So we'll have
the pick of the litter, so to speak. We'll be able
to pick the very brightest and
best from every country
around the world that wants to come here. And

(08:05):
we're not going to force anybody to come here, clearly.
But anybody who wants to come here, which is
going to be a lot of people and more and more, the
further down this road we go, the more
people are going to want to come here. And that's awesome
because we can say, yes,
you can come in here because you're going to come
and you're going to work hard and you're going to be smart.
We're going to have a lot of stuff happening here
that may not have happened if we hadn't
had the immigration of the smartest

(08:27):
and the best. So it's awesome. It's all awesome.
But shout out to
Kristi Noem for getting
her nomination
confirmed. Best of luck to you.
And I know you guys are going to do a great thing.
I want to talk a little bit about
Marco Rubio. He's been
already, he sailed through the confirmation.
A lot of people like him
both sides of the aisle. It was

(08:49):
not even ever question
whether he was going to be Secretary of State or not.
He is. And it's awesome because
he can handle the job well.
He handled Florida with
a massive ability to get things done
and get things done right and get things done quickly
and get things done efficiently.
And he handled it. He's proven
that he can handle situations
that come up. So I'm super excited about

(09:11):
Marco Rubio being Secretary of State.
It's just, it's awesome.
And the other guy, John Ratcliffe,
I don't know that much about him.
He's head of the Central Intelligence
Agency. We need something
there. I mean,
the FBI and the CIA have gone
so far down the toilet that
resurrection seems like it's going to be tough.
But I have faith in this guy,

(09:33):
John Ratcliffe. I think he's going to be
a great CIA director.
He's got all the qualifications needed
with the direction that this
country is going now.
We're hitting on all cylinders.
And here's one thing too. If any
of President Trump's picks
don't pan out, he'll be the
first guy to say, you're fired.
So he's done his homework. President

(09:55):
Trump has done his homework and
we're not going to have to switch anybody out because he already knows
who's going to do what they're supposed to be doing.
So awesome to all these
people. I'm so excited about
Pete Hegseth. I've been
behind him the whole time.
After reading this book,
I see where he's coming from and he's coming
from the place that's going to fix the military.
There's a lot of people

(10:17):
who say he doesn't have enough experience. He's too young
or whatever. He knows
what's wrong with the military and he knows
how to fix it and he's going to.
That's all you need to know. It's the only
thing that matters. He's going to fix it.
We're going to have the strongest military
in the world again, still,
and it's going to be massively.
There isn't going to be anybody on this
planet, not Russia, not China,

(10:39):
not North Korea, not nobody
is going to pick a fight with us because
they will lose.
And that's what a strong military is all about.
You don't get into wars when you get a strong military
because nobody's stupid enough to fight you.
Christie, Noam,
awesome, homeland security,
perfect. I'm excited to see
what comes from this.
I'm especially excited to see about

(11:01):
some of his other picks, you know,
from listening to me over the years,
you know that. Robert Kennedy
Jr. is my guy. I'm
super excited that we're
going to fix this country as far as
the food and the medicine that we have.
We're going to fix the food.
It's got lots of chemicals in it right now because
that's how you feed a hungry nation.
The easy way is just

(11:23):
pump it full of chemicals
and it doesn't go bad.
We're going to have to really pump up the way
we do food around here. We're going to have to get it
or act together. There's going to be plenty
of food for everybody, but it's going to be done
right this time and we won't be
getting poisoned by our food.
Same thing with pharmacopia.
We're getting poisoned right now.
We're lab rats basically. We're getting poisoned

(11:45):
by the pharmaceutical
industry and big medical. They got a
gig. I just wanted to continue this
about R.K. Jr. He's my guy.
He's just turned 71
a week ago or so and he's
more fit than most guys. Half
his age or even a quarter of his age.
It's just, it's
like, I don't want to go to a doctor. It's
a big old fat guy smoking a cigar.

(12:07):
A flat will not go to a doctor like that.
I will not go to a doctor that
looks like that. I want my doctor to be
the healthiest looking guy
in the country.
But just the fact that he's 71
and he's super fit is
awesome to me and we got to do that.
We got to get our
older people in this country healthy
because right now

(12:29):
the older people in this country
super lab rats.
They are pumping people full of
everything just to keep them alive
so they can make more and more money
off their pharmaceuticals. It's bad. It's wrong.
It's totally wrong. I
disagree with the way things are going 100%.
And I've talked about this on numerous
podcasts so you can go back
and listen to them if you want to. I will do more

(12:51):
as I go along because
of all the cabinet positions being
filled, that's my big one. I want
the food to be right and I want
the pharmaceuticals to be right. And one more thing about
R.K. while I'm thinking about it
he's not anti-vax.
It's just something that the mainstream
or I call him the has been
media is saying about him because
they're scared of him. They're

(13:13):
scared that this whole thing that's
a giant machine is going to start crumbling
which it is. A lot of people opposed
to him because of that. He's
not anti-vax. He's anti-stupid
vax. He's anti-vax that hurt people.
He knows there's a lot of vaccinations
out there that have been around for years that are really
good. Polio. We don't want to
go through that polio thing again ever
and we have a vaccination that works

(13:35):
and he's not going to say no
you can't have your polio vaccinations anymore.
He will check
to make sure that it's as good as it can be
but no he's not
anti-vax. That really drives me crazy
when the has been media
says that about. Anyway
that's the deal for today.
Super excited about
Kristi Noem and Pete Hakeseth. I was

(13:57):
really hoping both of them would make it. I'm so glad
that they did because those are super important
cabinet positions
that they have filled. They all are and
it's good. We're on that
Trump train that's you know
headed for the next
golden age of this country. I'm so excited.
Thanks for listening.
