(00:00):
Thank you.

(00:13):
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
It's an honor.
My name is Keith Tede.
I'm the host of New Media Central Podcast.
It's a weekly podcast.
This week I'm talking about, first of all, I'm talking about congratulating Tulsi Gabbard
and RFK Jr. on their confirmations, respectively.
It's awesome.

(00:33):
It's what I really, really hope for, for a long time now since they were picked.
And I'm also talking about Doge.
I'm talking about the presser that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk had in the Oval
Office behind the Resolute desk.
That's the desk he chose.
And it's just, it was so awesome to see those two together acting normal and they were cutting

(00:56):
up a little bit and they were, his son was there.
Elon's son was their ex.
And he was well behaved.
And you know, how could that happen anywhere else that, that they pulled something like
that off?
Anyway, that's what I'm talking about this week.
Congratulations.
And a little bit about Doge.
And kick back a little bit and have a good listen.

(01:16):
Thank you.
Okay.
Here we go.
First thing I want to do is congratulate Tulsi Gabbard on becoming the director of National
Intelligence.
Huge job.
And I can't think of anybody else on the planet that would do a better job than Tulsi

(01:38):
Gabbard do there.
She's done a lot in her life and it's all focused on fighting for America.
She's a fighter for our country.
And it's awesome.
It's too awesome to believe all of, all of President Trump's cabinet picks are top notch
people and for even one split second, why anybody in the Senate would say, no, we're

(02:02):
not going to have that person.
It's beyond me, but that's their job, I suppose.
And that's awesome.
That's why we have America's.
We can have views on both sides and we go with the majority, majority rules here.
And we've ruled that Tulsi Gabbard gets to be the director of intelligence.
I'm very excited about that.
But even more so, as you all know, RFK Jr. is my guy.

(02:26):
He's going to be busy.
He's got a lot on his plate from what I understand.
He wants to go after food contaminate first and then pharmaceuticals.
It's kind of impossible to say what direction he's going to go.
He's got so many that he could go.
I don't think he'll do one at a time kind of thing.
I think he's going to do a lot of things all at once.
He's got his people in place that are going to do what he wants them to do.

(02:48):
And of course, he's going to do what President Trump wants him to do.
So it's the old, you know, what flows downhill.
So anyway, he's remarkable in the fact that he has done so much already in his lifetime
to try to ensure that the American people are healthy.

(03:09):
That's his thing.
And he's done a lot.
He's done a lot of research and a lot of fighting to get there.
And he's been tireless in it.
And he doesn't expect any kind of congratulations for it.
He knows he's going to get beat the shit out of over it in a lot of ways.
But the good news is that majority, once again, majority rules here want him there because

(03:33):
they know he's got the information and the brains and the stamina to say the least to
get this job done.
71 years old, just had a birthday a few weeks ago and he's 71 years old now and he's better
shaped than a lot of guys half his age.
I've said it a bunch of times, but it's true.

(03:54):
Look at him.
Some people might find it a little disgusting, but he takes a shirt off every once in a while
and underneath there, he's etched.
The guy clearly is healthy himself and that's huge for me.
It's like if you go to the doctor and that guy's a big old fat guy smoking a cigarette
or a cigar or something like that and you're going, no, no, no, no, you don't get to decide

(04:17):
what I need to do to make myself healthy.
When I go see a doctor, I want him to be the healthiest looking person in the room by far.
And that means he's taking his own medicine.
He's doing what he knows is right to be healthy.
That's important to me.
And so I want the guy who's in charge of all the doctors and all the pharmaceuticals and

(04:39):
all the three letter departments that are concerned with health.
He's going to run it.
He's got a great handle on it.
I'm super, super impressed and super jazzed that he's going to be in charge of that.
So he's got a lot to do, like I said, besides the food contaminants and the pharmaceuticals.

(05:03):
He's got to uncover things about vaccinations.
You know, everybody says he's anti-vax.
No, he's not.
I've said this many times, he's anti-bad-vax.
And there are some bad ones out there and there's some good ones out there and he just
wants to get a handle for sure.
Exactly which ones are doing good and which ones aren't necessarily doing so good.

(05:24):
So anyway, here he is extremely fit, especially for his age.
I don't like saying that because I'm 67 and I'm hopefully pretty fit in my own self.
If you saw me, you would say, oh yeah, that guy's fit, I hear it all the time.
How old are you?
You're 67 years old.
Well, you look younger than my son.
I mean, I hear all kinds of stuff about people saying I don't look my age because I'm in

(05:48):
good shape and I'm proud of it and I work on it and I want somebody in charge of our
health of this country that I believe is so, so important.
We have to be healthy and I want the guy that's in charge of it to be healthy and concerned
about health and actually doing stuff about being healthy instead of buying the bullshit
line of the extremely wealthy people and the pharmaceutical and big medical businesses

(06:13):
that are getting rich off of it instead of getting healthy.
I mean, clearly in this country, you can see it.
We spend more on healthcare than any country in the world and we have the most unhealthy
people for it.
Something don't add up there.
What is it?
It's wealthy pharmaceutical companies and wealthy big medical companies making bank

(06:36):
and in the process killing us.
That's got to turn around 180 degrees.
That's why it's so important and so awesome that we have RFK Jr. in charge of that.
He's going to handle it and he's got lots of help, mainly from President Donald Trump.
He's going to get help from Elon Musk and Doge getting rid of all the crap that don't

(07:00):
belong there.
He's going to get help from all his department heads who he's going to have figured out and
get the good ones in, get the crap out and make this thing run like an efficient machine
that it should be.
This is America.
This is what we do here in America.
We are the best of the best.
American exceptionalism.
It's not bullshit.

(07:23):
It's real.
We are exceptional here.
We're lucky in some regard.
We have the best of the best as far as people.
We have the best of the best as far as resources of every kind.
I'm just, I'm jazzed that we've got RFK Jr. in that spot.
It's awesome.
He's got a lot to do besides the vaccine.

(07:47):
He's got to take that to the next logical step of what happened with vaccines and what
happened with COVID.
He's going to uncover a lot of stuff that's going to fall in his lap that has to do with
health and human services.
So yeah, like I said, he's got a full plate.
And fortunately, he's got a good staff.

(08:08):
His staff is going to get even better as he goes along.
He's going to get rid of the crap and get the good guys in.
So I'm kind of repeating myself here now.
So I'm going to move on.
The other thing I wanted to talk today about was the presser in the Oval Office with
Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
It couldn't have been cooler.

(08:28):
It could not have been more important.
It could not have been more fun.
I mean, it was so fun to watch these two.
I mean, Elon's got his son, little X, right there beside him.
And the guy's being a good kid, hard to do, to have a press conference and have your little

(08:49):
kid there with you and have him act properly.
So you don't have to get after him all the time.
It was just awesome.
And they're talking about our lives.
They're talking about the life of this country.
And it's all good.
And it's all way better.
And we can do so much in this country as far as the future with AI and technology and

(09:13):
personal comforts and law and everything.
It just can be so much better.
And it's going to be the coolest thing about President Donald Trump is he's really going
to do this stuff.
He's really going to do all the things he said he was going to do.
And it's going to be so good.
And the sad part is, and it's inevitable, and it has to be, this is America.

(09:36):
We hear both sides.
But the sad part is there's going to be a lot of resistance.
And that's the sad thing, but it's the good thing.
We have to remember that all sides get hurt in this country.
But we can't let.
We can't let these guys, these judges trying to block him.
We can't let that happen.
We have to do it the way it's supposed to be done constitutionally.

(09:58):
The framers set it up perfectly.
And from time to time, you might have to do an amendment to the Constitution.
That's all good.
But it has to be 100%.
It has to be a majority of the people wanting it to happen, for it to happen.
Because collectively, one of the coolest things about Americans is we are smart.
You know, there's things out there that China is so much smarter than we are.

(10:21):
No, they get a lot of smart people there, but nowhere near what we got here.
The thing that's been going on in the last few years, decades or whatever, the smartest
of the smart people in this country are not allowed to do what they need to do to make
the country better because there are vested interests in not letting that happen.
So we're going to change that.

(10:43):
Energy, for instance.
We're going to get energy figured out in my lifetime.
I'm certain of that.
There's a lot of energy.
I've talked about this many times.
There's a lot of energy that we can use, a lot of it from the sun.
It's a giant gas tank.
Just waiting to fill our little gas tanks here on this planet to have all the energy

(11:05):
we need.
We're going to have good, clean food that's healthy.
And we'll still have choices.
Everybody will have choices.
If you don't want to eat healthy, you don't have to.
But we're going to get rid of the stuff that people unknowingly are eating and not being
able to be healthy by eating it.
That's secret stuff.
We're going to uncover all the secret stuff that's in our food and get it out.

(11:28):
And then you can decide how you want to eat.
You only eat high-fat, high-grease, high-cholesterol stuff.
That's up to you.
It's not a good idea in my opinion, but that's just my opinion.
You get to do whatever you want in this country.
I think the push will be a lot of people in this country will want to be healthy when
they see all the momentum going towards being healthy.

(11:49):
Everybody's going to want to get on the bandwagon and be healthy.
And that's awesome.
I think it's so cool.
And we will try.
I think we'll have a larger percentage of the country wanting to be healthy and doing
the things they got to do to get healthy.
So I'm talking about the presser with Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
It was mostly to introduce Doge, which to me, there's just so much cool shit going on right

(12:13):
now.
RFK Jr. getting healthy again and Doge uncovering all the decades of crap that's been building
up, piling up on top of each other.
Once again, he's one of the few people on the planet, if not the only one who could
do that, who could go in there and go, this is not right.
This is not right.

(12:33):
This is good.
This is not right.
This is efficient.
This is not efficient.
This is smart.
This is not smart.
This gets us where we're going.
This doesn't get us where we're going.
He's unique in that he's so smart and so efficiency minded that he can do that.
He can just go in and look at it and go, this, this, this, this.

(12:54):
We're so lucky.
We're so lucky to have him and President Trump and RFK Jr. and all of his cabinet picks.
It's, I get giddy sometimes.
It's just so good.
That's all.
At some point before he got elected to President Trump, I was saying, it's going to be so good.

(13:16):
It's going to be so good.
We're going to get tired of winning.
Well that won't happen, but it's just, it's fun.
We're in a fun time right now.
We're going to have to deal with people that oppose what's going on and that's good.
Like I said, we've got to have it.
It's America.
We hear all sides.
And then as a majority, we decide which way we want to go and that's going to be how this

(13:37):
country works.
The majority rules every time, always end these little splinter things, these little
splinter groups, these little, I have to be careful about how I describe these people
right now because I'm disgusted by so many of the things that are going on right now
with the LGBTQ and all.
I'm just, you know, I'll do whatever you want.

(13:57):
Seriously, do whatever you want.
I don't want to see it.
I don't want to look at it.
I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to get on X and see it everywhere.
I don't want to turn on the news and see them talking about something that I probably shouldn't
say right now.
And I'm just tired of it.
It's had its run.
Good.
These people who are a little different than most of us got their say and they got, they

(14:22):
got a little moe out of it, you know, so cool.
Yeah.
Maybe it would need it to be said, but it's been said now.
So let's move on.
I don't want to hear about it or see it anymore.
Thank you.
So I'm back to, back to Elon Musk and President Trump in the Oval Office behind the Resolute
Desk.
But apparently there's several different desks that can go in the Oval Office for the President.

(14:45):
Roosevelt Desk was one of them.
The Resolute Desk is like very old, but has a lot of history behind it.
And who knows for sure exactly why President Trump picked that one, but he did and it's
all, all good.
So anyway, I'm just so happy that we have President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, RFK Jr.,
Tulsi, Pete Hexeth, Christie Noem and all of them.

(15:10):
It's all good.
You know, Doge is finding stuff billions and billions of dollars of waste and he's only
been doing it for a week or so.
He's going to dig and find deeper holes that are even more money and their estimates of
a trillion dollars.
I think they can find it.
Yeah.
It's sad that we've gotten to this point, but we're here and we got to get out and this

(15:32):
is how we're going to do it.
We're lucky.
We're just lucky to have all these people who are truly interested in making America
great again instead of lining their pockets.
It's awesome.
Thank you.
