Is media bias shaping your views, or are you in control of the narrative? This episode unpacks the sensory overload of election night, capturing the electrifying energy as results trickled in and the nation paused to listen to Trump’s speech. The suspense of refreshing updates on our phones is palpable as we shift focus to the aftermath in the Senate, House, and key swing states. A spotlight shines on a tweet by @thatsKazen, stirring thoughts on politics, censorship, and the media's powerful role in shaping perceptions.
Navigating the post-election landscape, we explore the shifting dynamics between prominent figures like Melania Trump, Kamala Harris, and Jill Biden. We examine Melania's possible resurgence, Harris's challenges, and the public's perception of the Biden administration's struggles. Left-leaning commentators, especially from "The View," offer insights into their emotional responses to the political climate, revealing a steadfast commitment to their narratives despite setbacks.
Reflecting on Trump's strategic electoral success, we analyze his ability to captivate key demographics and the influence of figures like JD Vance, RFK Jr., Vivek, and Tulsi. The episode highlights how economic stability became a central theme, outweighing single-issue politics. With an optimistic lens, we celebrate Trump’s recent political achievements, including groundbreaking appointments and shifts in international relations, leaving listeners with a hopeful outlook on the trajectory of global politics.
In depth analysis of what’s happening in Israel—and why it matters everywhere.

(01:31):
so so much, all right.
So let's I mean let's go rightright from the, let's do our
recap, like let's go through thewhole thing.
Um, what time I want to knowelection night, what time did
you go to bed?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
uh, I stayed up to watch him give his speech.
So I think you know, whateverit was after the speech was over
with I, whatever time that was,I don't know, what time it was.
But I watched the speech, Iwatched him, you know, I watched
him drag everybody to themicrophone, which I thought was
pretty cool.
I've never seen that before.
But he, you know, it was very,very Trump style.
(02:02):
It was very off the cuff.
That was how late I stayed up.
I stayed up for the speech andthen I went to bed.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, I think I was up till, like, I guess,
watching everything tillprobably about 2 AM.
I didn't watch the speech.
I just, I like, finally pulledthe plug.
I said I can't do anywhere,I'll get the highlights, you
know, tomorrow or later today.
Meaning, and, uh, I, I went tobed.
I don't know how much I actuallyslept, I was so I had, you know
(02:28):
, and, it's funny, I wasn'talone in this I, I saw a lot of
people saying similar thingsthat I had, like this, it's
almost like PTSD and I hate tocompare anything to that, but
you know, so, bear with me as Isay something like that.
Um, but I had this fear thatwhen I woke up in the morning,
they would have, you know, donethe switch, done the flip, done
the drop Right, and the numberswill have changed.
(02:49):
So I was like going back andforth between elation and
anxiety, and that was apparentlya very common feeling.
People were, like you know,literally watching their phones
and I don't know about you, Igot most of my stuff off of X,
that's where I kept, you know,and I, I would like, my husband
and I, you know, we're likerefresh, you know, refresh, did
(03:10):
you refresh?
Okay, refresh, let's seeanything, anything, anything,
little crazy, little crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But yeah, I did a little bit of the oppo thing.
I watched a little bit of CNN.
Um, I watched, uh, you know, alot of the melting down, a lot
of the groveling, which we willtalk about the reactions here in
a little bit.
But I was doing a lot ofchannel flipping, a lot of
social media flipping, had, foronce, all my alerts turned on.
Something would happen and itwould be like AP would hit it
(03:37):
and Fox would hit it and CNNwould hit it, and then you
wouldn't hear anything and then20 minutes later MSNBC or
somebody would hit, like I hadthem all turned on.
It was funny to watch.
But but yeah, I mean to see allof the things.
You know, not just the Senatewe're still waiting on the house
, right, as much as everybodyassumes that it's already been
(03:58):
one and it probably has but butwe still don't have an official
yet, you know but between theSenate and the house and you
know, obviously, the electoralcollege watching all of the, all
of the States, all the swingStates, all the battleground
States.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
What is it?
Seven swing States, right Seven, I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Arizona didn't didn't come through until a couple of
days later, but it was done.
It didn't matter at that pointbut that, and then the popular
vote.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, how about that?
Wow, you know.
So I came across this.
I'm gonna see if I can pull itup here.
So I came across this tweet.
I don't really actually know ifwe're still calling them tweets
on X, but that's what I'mcalling it, Right?
So this person's name is that,Kazen, and he, you know, I don't
know if he got it fromsomewhere else, but this is
(04:45):
where I found it, so I want tocredit him for it.
At that's Kazen K-A-I-Z-E-N.
He put together this list.
That is really very wow, OK.
So he says it's crazy to lookback and realize that one Trump
was banned from Twitter fromTwitter for two years.
He was banned from YouTube fortwo years.
(05:05):
Banned from Instagram andFacebook Same thing two years.
The government pressuredFacebook to censor dissenting
voices as misinformation.
They pressure Twitter to shadow, ban conservative accounts.
They pressure Twitter to censorthe Hunter Biden laptop story.
He's been hit with hundreds oflawsuits incurring one to two
million dollars in expenses.
Over the last eight years,Legacy media nearly near
(05:26):
uniformly posted negativeheadlines about him and Google
search results reflected uh yeah, reflected, and may have even
amplified media bias the factthat he was able to win against
again, I'm sorry, the fact thathe was able to win again despite
all of this is a stunningtriumph of the human spirit and
I agree wholeheartedly with that.
(05:48):
You know the obstacles that hehad to get through to just be
heard, to just be seen, withthat level of opposition against
him.
Um it, it really is.
I mean, this was a, this was acollection of more than half of
America saying we're not goingto be silenced.
He's not going to be silenced,and it's incredible when you
(06:09):
realize that the scope of theopposition that they laid
against him.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, I mean, and go even a step further.
You know two assassinationattempts.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah Right, I mean there's that you know.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So now you've got intimidation, you've got an
attempt to keep him fromappearing in public.
You've got all of those things.
You've got intimidation of hisfamily, beyond the lawsuits.
I mean you've got the law fair,which is a level of harassment
you know.
I mean the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
I mean that kind of kicked allof this off.
If you just go back, that'swhere it all kind of started and
(06:41):
it's all bred on fear, but itall backfired Like that.
I think is the point of whatthat Twitter poster said, that X
poster said, is you know, it'sthat it all backfired, every bit
of it.
It is a triumph.
It's an amazing underdog storyAlthough I don't know if
underdog is the right term, butfighting the grain.
(07:02):
You know he's fighting againstthe tide, whatever you want to
call it.
But yeah, you know, the factthat he overcame all of that is
the.
It's a comeback story, ifnothing else.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Um, but you know, all of that crap backfired all of
it every single thing that theydid, the gaslighting, the
gaslighting of epic proportions,and I just thank God every
minute of every day that therewere enough people to see
through it.
And a little side note youmentioned the Mar-a-Lago raid
(07:31):
and it made me think of MelaniaTrump declining the invitation
yes.
And citing that specifically.
So what's your thoughts on that?
I love it, but I can see wheresome people will probably say,
well, she should have gone.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I personally applaud her for you know I thought it
was out of character for her,because she is always so, yes,
together she's very graceful,gracious, very elegant, um, but,
but I but I think that's astatement too the fact she is at
her breaking point with thesepeople, I think, says more than
(08:05):
anything like of the one personwith maybe the exception of his
daughter the one person whoreally, in his life, keeps her,
you know, cool, keeps her calm,stays level and fair, like she
is that person, and for her toreach this breaking point is
that's very significant.
Um, so good, good honor.
(08:25):
I mean, I don't, um, I amshocked, though I I I really
thought that she would be theokay, let's sit down and talk
China patterns or whatever withit, and she said I'm done with
you.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So yeah, I think we're getting a new, new version
of Milani.
I think she will be no lessthan classy and elegant, as
she's always been.
She will, that will continue,but I think she's going to take
a little bit more of a?
Um, you know the stage.
She's going to take the stage alittle bit more the releasing
of her book, um, you knowinitiatives and things that
she's passionate about.
(08:56):
I think she must've come intothis saying listen, if we're
doing this again, then you knowmy terms and how I, how I want
to handle things, and I thinkthat's what she's going to do.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Well, and I think it was, was it Monday for Veterans
Day?
There's I don't know if you'veseen the film clip there's some
serious iciness between the vicepresident, presidential
candidate Harris and the firstlady, glacial yeah, so.
So that says a lot too.
I mean, it's all environmental,but you know, we have long
(09:26):
suspected I'm not even suspectedyou, and I have long said that
Jill Biden is, you know, she's apariah, she's, she's, she is
the root of many of the problemsthat are going on right now.
Oh yeah, and to get thatbetween her and Harris, and then
, obviously, with the soon to befirst lady for a second term
However, that's a second term,yes for her to react the way she
(09:47):
did, I think, says a lot too.
So I think that's quite a lot.
Yeah, I think dr jill would be.
You know she's one of thoselike the.
The dog is probably going tobite at her and you trust oh
yeah, absolutely, yeah, she is,she is absolutely so.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
She's so done mentally with all of this.
You know, a big bleepity, bleepto all of you.
Um, um, I, I was watching, youknow, every.
It got played a lot.
I'm sure you saw it too, theclip of her and Biden walking on
the beach like come on, man,like I couldn't even make a
video about it, I couldn't even.
I couldn't even make a video tomake fun of it.
But you know, because it was soawful, um, horrific to watch,
(10:27):
really, um, and again, thatanger.
I mean again I say this so manytimes no, don't like the man,
never have, never will, um, butlike the people in his life,
like you, let this guy do this.
And that was the thing thatactually I paid the most
attention to.
In that video the man is likestumbling, near, falling.
It's, you know, it's a trafficaccident, traffic accident that
you're watching.
Basically, she didn't evenglance at him, she just kept
(10:50):
walking.
There's a point where she waskind of like behind him and he
was right here.
It's not that she couldn't seehim.
There's no way she couldn'thave known that he was falling
all over the place.
You don't put your arm out.
That to me, was really almostone of the most disgusting
things I've ever seen of aspouse with their their partner
Like yeah, she's, she's beenhorrible.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, she's been horrible for a long time.
We know that but you know, Ithink that is indicative, you
know.
Moving on to, you know, our,our, our, next topic.
I mean that that the reactionsfrom the left are also great
indicators, and so there's a lotof finger pointing.
Right there's a lot of blame tobe had.
Both President Biden got blamedfor a poor administration.
(11:34):
He got blamed for staying inthe race too long.
He got blamed for pickingKamala Harris as his vice
president in the first place,you know, and then you know.
And then the first lady gotblamed.
She got blamed for forcing himto stay in too long.
She got blamed for, and thenobviously Harris.
And so there's lots of fingerpointing going on, but those two
(11:56):
I was surprised at the amountof blame that the president and
the first lady took in theaftermath of this.
I know they were looking toblame somebody, but to go after
him and and then, of course, yousee him walk on the beach like
that and you're like well, heclearly is incapable.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Right, like he's not even there.
Yeah, although you know therunning joke, of course, has
been all of a sudden he's comeout for these a handful of
pressers and he's spry as can be.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Very y as can be.
Yeah, very yippy, skippy andcoherent, like what is that well
, you know, it's some of it'sthe meds and some of it.
As you know, like all of usthat have been around aging
people like they have great daysand they have not great days.
Right, and the fact the matteris is, as the president, united
states, you can't have a notgreat day, like it doesn't work,
yeah, um.
So you know the reactions and Iknow you're going to talk about
some of the crazy stuff that'sgoing on, but you know, did you
(12:49):
watch the View the next day?
I watched about 15 minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I, you know, I'm in this mode of self-preservation
that I cannot.
I catch highlights or lowlightsin this case of things, and I
wait, I make everybody else doall the heavy lifting for me.
And then I watched theirhighlight reels and and yeah, I
mean everything what you woulddo.
Do they all come out in blackor something?
Are they all in black?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
There's what?
There's six, I think, at thedesk and I think four of them.
Four of them were in black.
Yes, I noticed that.
I was like what is this?
It was like the first four outthe door funeral Right which you
know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
For them it kind of was For them it is.
They truly believe, theybelieve.
You know a lot of them at least, maybe not all of them, but
those people certainly believewhat they're saying.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, there's.
There was two and I don't knowtheir names other than Whoopi
and Joy, you know, becausethey've been on there forever.
But two of the women on therewere pretty introspective and I
saw that from some of the hostson CNN the following day and
there's some interviews withsome Democrats out there, both
in the pundit world but also inthe political world, that were
(13:52):
very like okay, well, we got tofigure this out, like we need to
figure out what happened.
But for the most part there wasa lot of meltdown going on.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
A lot of meltdowns, a lot of defiance.
You know a lot of still.
You know name calling of theright, you know of people on the
right for voting them.
Still still name calling, stillslinging mud, not learning a
gosh darn lesson from anythingthat just happened.
And I agree with you, you knowI don't, I don't want to make
any blanket statements sayingyou know that all of the left,
(14:21):
all of the mainstream media onthe left is, you know, still
behaving foolishly.
There are some, like you said,that are being a little more
introspective and trying tofigure this out and see where
they went wrong.
And I mean you know the simple,the fast answer to that is
don't call half the countrygarbage.
Here's a thought, you know Imean step one right, you know, I
mean step one.
(14:41):
Once upon a time presidentialcandidates or any political
candidates your whole purpose isto win people over to your side
.
And this time around and ofcourse it's been like this for a
little while, but this was themost obvious where, instead of
trying to reach across the aisleand bring people over and say,
hey, listen, we're just, we wantthe same things that you do
(15:04):
Come on over here, bring peopleover and say, hey, listen, we're
just, we want the same thingsthat you do, come on over here.
This was a time where bothsides said a big bleepity, bleep
, you know.
Raise that middle finger to theother side and said, nope, this
is war, this is a battle, it'sus against you and you know, to
the death we fight, basically,you know.
So that's a little bit crazy tome.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I think, though.
I think, though, that PresidentTrump did, and the campaign as
a whole they tried to reachacross a little bit more.
They didn't try and reachacross, they tried to reach into
the middle, and you and I havetalked about this.
That's what elections used tobe about.
Right, you never had to play toyour base.
They were gimme, they werethree foot putt Like you were
going to get those votes.
You didn't have to play to thebase, you played to the middle
(15:47):
to try and draw the middle.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Right, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Like I agree.
Yeah, I think, I think theydefinitely yeah, both both sides
played to the extremes anddidn't do a great job at trying.
The middle is so small now thatthey didn't do a great job to
play the middle.
Except President Trump did onthe basis of, truthfully, the
economy.
Like that, that was where hewas reaching across to anybody
(16:10):
and everybody who felt poor,like I don't care what, I don't
care what party you're from, youcan't pay your bills and you're
worried about feeding your kids, like this is where you need to
be.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
So he reached out, I think, on an economic basis and
not on a you know kind of thestaunch policy basis that the
parties tend to follow, and hereached out to, reached out to
and reached the youngerpopulation and there's a, you
know, more than a rumor thatBarron had a great deal to do
with that.
That he was yes, there's, yeah,there's talk that behind the
(16:45):
scenes, very quietly, he washighly, highly instrumental to
pointing his father to thedemographic and to the actual
literal people you knowstreamers and stuff like that
pointing them to, pointing himto the people he should be
engaging with and talking to.
So I find that incrediblyfascinating be engaging with and
(17:07):
talking to.
So I find that incrediblyfascinating and I truly look
forward to see what Barron Trumpis going to do.
He's 18 now and he's emerging alittle bit.
He's still pretty quiet, buthe's emerging a little bit, and
I think mom has a lot to do withthat.
So it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And Kai Kai is also a bit of a superstar.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I love Kai, I love her.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You know, and she, I saw her in social media in the
in the waning days of the of thecampaign, you know, and even
right after the election.
You know this is why you shouldvote for my grandpa.
You know this is who my grandpareally is, kind of stuff.
So I think you know you're, youprobably hadn't even thought of
Baron.
I knew I'd seen Kai enough, shehad been vocal enough that you
know, I knew she probably had atleast a touch of influence, but
(17:42):
I hadn't even thought of Baron,and that's probably it's.
It's a very interesting point,you know, maybe, maybe you know,
I mean you've got obviouslyDonald and Eric and you know, or
Don Jr and Eric, and then youknow the daughters, and now
you've got Baron as well, andthen you've got Kai and you know
(18:04):
I don't like saying this outloud, but you know there has the
potential for a Kennedy-esquefeel to this.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I, I completely agree .
I've, I felt that all along too.
You know, I, I look at thatTrump family and it's, you know,
it's what a dynasty.
First of all, I mean you have,first of all, to be very
superficial, um, visually, whata striking right.
I mean they're all Amazons, youknow exactly.
You know they're just beautifulpeople, quite literally
beautiful looking people.
(18:27):
They are incredibly smart andthey're just I mean, in my
opinion they are the totalpackage really.
You know, smart, articulate,well put together.
They keep their noses clean,you know, or at least as far as
we can tell, as far as we knowyou know if they're not right.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They're no hunter, that's for sure.
Yeah, right, I mean that alone.
You get points just for thatthese days, let's hit some of
the crazy, because I know you,you, you hit me with this even
when we were talking topics wowI mean.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
So I, I'm sure, and we'll throw some videos in here,
disperse them in through these,just so you can see.
Actually, you, you know what.
Let's do that If I get anythingaside from Kamala get the f***
out of my face.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
I'm going to be honest.
I was very blindsided by theresults this morning.
I've decided that cigarettesdon't count today and I honestly
might go get a tattoo, but Ialso have decided that for the
next four years, I am going toabstain from schmucks with men.
Donald Trump is president and Ithink all women should stop
having sex for the next fouryears in protest and protection
(19:29):
of your bodies.
As we know, if that little babyinside you gives you any
trouble and you need anemergency healthcare, you're
gonna die.
I think that is sufficientenough reason to stop having sex
.
This vote wasn't a vote forAmericans.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
This vote was for men , and unless we want to become
the handmaid's tale, then uswomen need to protest because
this is so buttery bull.
All I have to say is good luckgetting laid, especially in
Florida, because me and mygirlies are participating in the
4B movement.
That's my next plan.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, I mean, so this is mild, these reactions are
actually the mild ones, andlet's touch on that.
4b movement.
So this is mild, like these are.
These reactions are actuallythe mild ones, and let's touch
on that for B movement.
So this is like a Korean thingthat the women there, they were
oppressed and they came up withthis thing, so it's like they
abstain.
There's like four things.
They all start with B in Koreanand, and it's something about
(20:20):
abstaining from sex with men,something else.
It was like four differentthings that they're going to do
to protest, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, so I've seen that.
That which good, I meanexcellent.
If they don't want to reproduceFine.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, the irony of that, though, right, the irony.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
There's that.
There's the blue bracelets,which I think is a way for them
to publicly identify each other,right and then, and shaving
their heads.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Shaving their heads, and there's also one as part of
like the blue blue bracelets andblue heart tattoos, so they can
all recognize each other.
I'm like I'm pretty sure youcan recognize each other pretty
easily, cause you're the onesall acting crazy, like going
nuts and crying in the streetsand you know.
And then there's also onefloating around of promoting
(21:11):
using untraceable poison topoison your, the men in your
life.
Like these people are crazy.
And then add to that there'sbeen several incidents of school
teachers.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Making credible.
You know well threats but wildrants about.
You know there's one actuallyin my home state, cheshire
elementary school teacher, whothought it would be a great idea
to to put one of these rants onsnapchat.
And I, you know you know whichone.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Yeah and people of color and poor people and gay
people and all the people that Icare about aren't going to be
safe in america.
Neither the are you guys.
Just because you won doesn'tmean we don't remember who the
you voted for.
You're not in the clear.
Just please, please, don't testyour gangster on me, because
(22:10):
you will end on a stretcher Goneforever.
So serious.
Nobody can talk to me unlessyou want to swing.
If you want to fight, text me,call me.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, and I know what her logic was.
I don't know if it's still thedeal.
I don't really use Snapchat,but I have it, but I don't use
it.
Apparently, they disappearafter like 24 hours or something
.
So you like, you make your postor your video, whatever, and
then it's gone.
The internet is forever and, ofcourse, somebody you know
screen recorded it or downloadit or whatever you do, and, yes,
(22:42):
that spread like wildfire.
She is on leave right now, whichI'm hoping is just simply a
formality in the process offiring, because if this woman
gets let back to teach, maybeit's an extreme response, but my
genuine response here is if youare a conservative, if you
voted for Trump and you are notquiet about it and you're,
(23:04):
you've spoken about it, get yourkids out of public schools.
I mean, these people arebonkers.
This is this is how they react,this is their response and I
love.
I love that people are likethat.
They on that side of things arelike, oh, you do this, if you
guys lost, you would be soobnoxious.
There's a difference betweenbeing obnoxious and gloating and
being like yay or boo, whateverthe case, and then there's
(23:27):
threats of violence.
Like I'm not if Trump lost.
I love the man.
If he lost, I would not beshaving my head for him.
I'm just not doing it.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, there's, there's the um, the first girl
in that, you know series thatyou put, put on there talking
about cutting people out of herlife.
There's a lot of people thatare talking about doing that
cutting out family members whichis absurd.
But you know, here's the,here's the difference in the
reaction, right.
And so there was and this onekills me there was talk of
trying to two things one, get apresident and we talked about
(23:57):
this before get president Bidento step down, right.
And then they, you know,install vice president Harris
and she gets to become thefemale president.
You know, blah, blah, blah.
So there's that.
There was also the.
There's the push to get JusticeSotomayor to retire Right
Before President Trump you knowhis inauguration and to appoint
Vice President Harris as aSupreme Court judge.
I saw that.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I think I just saw that she said nah.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Well, here's the thing, right.
For the last four years, we'velistened to pack the courts and
we've listened to end thefilibuster.
We, the Republicans, now havethe White House, the House, the
Senate and a six three majorityin the Supreme Court.
If any Republican right nowsaid let's end the filibuster
and let's pack the Supreme Court, there would be an absolute.
This is why Chuck Schumer islike Heyuster and let's pack the
Supreme Court, there would bean absolute.
This is why Chuck Schumer islike hey, everybody, let's play
nice for the next couple ofyears, you know, let's not go
(24:53):
nuclear.
That's exactly.
They were talking nuclear optionfor the last four years because
they were trying to gain power.
And if you had any Republicanin Congress anywhere right now
talking about those two topics,people would lose their mind.
Could you imagine adding sixmore justices, and all appointed
by Trump?
Yeah, right, right, right.
So you'd have a 12, three, a 12, three, and then oh, by the way
, get rid of the filibuster.
(25:13):
So, like any, anything thatanybody proposed got passed, you
couldn't stop it.
It would pass with a simplemajority because everybody would
go through and vote party line,it would get to the president
and then, if somebody took it tothe Supreme Court.
Even if two justices went theother way, it would still be 11
to five, like it would be.
This would be overrun for thenext four years.
But you can't say that becausethe reaction would be oh my God,
(25:37):
you guys, what are you doing?
This isn't how our country issupposed to be.
These aren't the same.
You know, we've got safeguardsfor a reason.
Yeah, no, kidding, that's whatwe've been telling you for for
you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Exactly.
Yeah, amazing how that suddenly, in an instant, became a bad
idea, and that's what disgustsme, and I'm sure you feel
exactly the same way.
That is what disgusts me and Idon't want anyone to forget.
Right, we're not going to playnice, no, and I'm sick of
(26:10):
hearing that too.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Well, now it's time to you know.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Mend the fences and, and you know, come together.
No, it's not.
It's not that time.
That's what you want to say.
You want to say BS yes, thankyou.
Yeah, it's not that time,because these are dirty, filthy,
lying sacks of garbage.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
There's that word again.
So where it belongs, right, butokay.
So moving this rolls right intothe next topic, which is why
did president Trump win, right?
I mean, that's that's wherewe're at, and why did he win?
And it's because of crap likethis.
Yes, this is why we, we, youknow.
This is why he won theelectoral college.
This is why he won every swingstate.
This is why he wanted thepopular vote.
This is why he won it.
Like president Biden beat vicepresident Harris in every county
(26:47):
, even the counties she won.
She didn't do better than him.
So, literally, ground wasgained in every single county
across the United States.
Yeah, like, and it's because ofthis crap, it's because of
identity politics, it's becauseof, you know, the attack mindset
, it's because of DEI, it'sbecause of CRT, it's because of
(27:09):
all of this crap that's beingforced on people, and the
average American is just sick ofit.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, yeah, listen, we're not safe, we're not
economically sound, we're nothealthy, we're not trusting our
government.
We are so divided and violentagainst each other Well, not
really us against them butenough, enough, we're done.
(27:36):
Nobody is going to vote forHarris.
I believe fully that they wentin there, walked in saying to
their friends whatever oh, yeah,no, totally voting for her.
Yeah, absolutely yeah.
And they went in there and theyvoted with logic, you know.
I believe that.
I believe that there are a tonof people that went in and, you
(27:58):
know, told people that they weregoing to vote for her because
that's what everybody wanted tohear, and they voted with their
actual conscience and said youknow, maybe took a look at their
bank account and looked at, youknow, their surroundings and
realize that you know, all ofthose things were not safe.
We're not better, we're notnumber one anymore.
We're far from it.
Now we have to change it, youknow.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
And the.
You know there's a lot ofmechanics and a lot of this.
I think all of this feeds in.
I don't think you can point afinger at any one reason why
President Trump won.
I would actually even arguethat President Trump won almost
as much as Harris lost it, likeshe lost that election.
I don't think Biden would havewon either, but I think that she
(28:41):
really, you know, shot herselfand lost this election as much
as anything you know from thelate entry.
Ok, fine, right, did that playinto it?
I think it did.
But again, I don't thinkPresident Biden was going to win
either, not after that debate.
Performance Right.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, that's the deal on him.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
So did she get a short, you know runway.
Maybe Did she get $1.4 billion.
Yeah, Right.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I was just going to say, yeah, I love how
they like to.
Now they're trying to like.
Well, she was really at adisadvantage.
She really just everything wasstriked against her.
I'm sorry.
You had what'd you say?
$1.4 billion, which, by the way, 20 million in debt.
Now, you had all of thecelebrity endorsements, you had
the mainstream media on yourside cheering you along.
(29:27):
I mean, you had all of theadvantage, all of it, every
single bit of advantage, fairand unfair, yeah, and this is
what happened.
So it is definitely time toself-reflect on their part, yeah
.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
People said I've heard this and this was the most
absurd.
She ran a perfect campaign.
I heard that I think it was JoyReid actually, which is not
surprising, but she ran theperfect campaign, which clearly
she did not.
Now in the blame game, right?
So the why did Trump win?
You and I have been talkingabout this for weeks the
demographics they lost are thedemographics that really, really
(30:00):
hurt them.
Their votes flipped.
You know, maybe Georgia, maybe,maybe Michigan, maybe, but I
(30:29):
don't think so.
But put you know and I know,like places like New York, new
York state, because of New Yorkcity, you know Illinois because
of Chicago, you know Californiabecause of LA, san Francisco,
san Diego, right, a change inthe popular vote didn't shift
enough to change the electoralcollege, but it did change the
popular vote, which is a hugestatement.
2004, right was the last time aRepublican won the popular vote
.
It was Bush's seconders.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You know Trump himself.
Of course, he has his strong,solid, loyal fan base followers.
But, you know, then you bringin someone like JD Vance and you
bring in someone like RFK Jrand you bring in Vivek and Tulsi
.
You start bringing, of course,elon, you start bringing in
these really, really smartyounger people who can actually
(31:18):
connect with the youngergeneration and speak to them.
It's just, it's the dream team.
I mean, it truly is the dreamteam, and, of course, they keep
adding more and we'll get tothat in just a moment.
But, yeah, I think what happenedwas there were enough people.
You know, one of many, manyfactors, but I think also, one
of those factors is that therewere enough people who said
listen, I don't like Trump, I'mnever going to like him, but I
(31:43):
like a strong economy.
You know, number one and thatis always for adults that is
always going to end up being ifyou're a sane person, that is
always going to end up beingyour number one thing.
Can I put food on my table, paymy mortgage or buy a house or
rent a home?
You know, rent a place, buy acar, can I do those things?
(32:04):
Nope, well, now we have aproblem, and I think that at the
core of it is why you knowpeople who were meh on Trump.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
This was a bit of a crass statement, but I think it
speaks to exactly what thedifference was and it was.
I don't remember who exactlysaid it, but it was immediately
following the election and itwas like you know, amazingly
enough, women go to the grocerystore more often than they get
abortions and it was like just astatement of like the economy
(32:34):
matters every single day to mostpeople, right, the population
that are voting, the single,single voter, single issue
voters that are voting becauseof abortion are much smaller and
is really less of a concern ifyou can't keep your lights on.
So you know.
Again, it was a little crass inhow it was stated, but but the
(32:54):
but the intent behind it is ahundred percent true.
So you know, that's the.
That's the other part of it,too, is that you know the Dems
and you hit it with thecelebrity.
You know, the celebrities thatTrump brought in were people
that could.
You know one.
They could add to theconversation, they could add to
the, they were added to the team.
You know, danica Patrick wasn'tsomebody who anybody, I think,
(33:16):
expected, but she jumped in andshe became a big name and a big
face.
You know, and to be honest withyou Beyonce wasn't going to be
in the administration, bruceSpringsteen is not going to be
in the administration, georgeClooney is not going to be in
the administration, where youknow, and I can't think of a
single person that Harris had asingle celebrity or known face
that she had that would haveparticipated, whereas Trump
(33:39):
intermingled.
Listen, hulk Hogan is who he is.
I know most of America knowshim, but nobody's listening to
him on who to vote for.
But all the names that he didbring in, I think Elon was huge,
huge, huge, because he's nowadding to the team.
He's not just a face, right.
He's not just a voice, he's notjust a celebrity, he's adding
to the team.
Kid Rock's not in theadministration, he's not just a
celebrity, he's adding to theteam.
(33:59):
Kid Rock's not in theadministration, right, but there
were the other folks that hebrought in to be part of this,
right.
Rfk Jr is going to be part ofthis.
He had a bit of a rock starstatus at the end of this and
that's great.
So, again, the normal person,the average person, the person
of intelligence and of commonsense, looks and goes.
I don't give a crap what Oprahsays, I don't care.
Oh, by the way, violation ofelection rules by paying her a
(34:22):
million dollars for herendorsement, by the way.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, a million dollars.
I think Beyonce got a nice bigchunk of change.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And it's all illegal.
It's all going to getinvestigated because it's all
illegal yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yep, they paid, I don't know, hundreds of
thousands of dollars apparentlyto build the set for that
podcast that she did.
Yeah, so you know she's payingoff people and a lot of fat good
that did.
And, by the way, pretty sure Idon't think anybody got paid to
endorse Trump None of thesepeople.
They did it because, right,noticing, I love that.
Lee Greenwood, you know, proudto be an American, yeah, yeah,
(34:55):
he put out a statement like.
I've played this so many timesfor him, a longtime friend.
I have never accepted or wanteda dime for it and I'll do it
over and over again, which youknow.
Bravo, I love it.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
So yeah, and there was a little Trump jab like, hey
, we got all this extra moneyover here and you guys are short
$20 million.
I mean, in the name of unity,how about I pay your bills for
you?
And I think she actually meantit to an extent.
There are people who aren'tgoing to get paid.
There's vendors in yourcontract, it's not?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
a small number, that's a big chunk of change.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
People are not going to get paid, they're not going
to get their wage, they're notgoing to get their contract paid
because she's $20 million short.
And again it goes to the factthat they don't really care
about the average working person.
And the disconnect with thecelebrities, the disconnect with
policy, the disconnect ingeneral between the Dems and the
elite Dems and Hollywood andall that crap and the average
(35:53):
American, I think, in the endwas the biggest influencer of
why president Trump won.
Yeah, because nobody, theaverage person in America does
not relate to the democraticparty anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Right, no, no.
And you know, I think it becamemore and more obvious that the
democrat party was pandering toa, to a like a baser version of
people, not their intellect buttheir superficial needs.
You know, the celebrities Imean that's the celebrities are
(36:24):
a perfect example Like, oh,we'll just, we'll just entertain
you and you'll vote for us.
You know, because you're notsmart enough to ask about the
issues.
You know, and I think it reallywas, the entire campaign from
the Democrat Party, from KamalaHarris, was an absolute slap in
the face to their entiredemographic.
You know, so insulting fromObama talking down to black men,
(36:47):
to her, affecting the accent ofthe day and to never answer,
right, you know, I mean neveranswering a question and just
deflecting everything.
Well, trump, well, trump, willTrump, will Trump.
You know, and it's like in theAmerica people were like lady,
what are you going to do?
Like, what are you going to do?
Because what you've done so farkind of sucks.
So you got anything for us?
And you know, theyunderestimated and they
(37:08):
undervalued the intellect of thepeople.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
And you know, and you know our next topic is key in
just the actual like how itbecame policy to alienate people
and at the risk of personalharm, up to and including death
potentially.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Am I pulling up FEMA?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yeah, I mean we can do FEMA now and then we'll hit
the Trump impact and the and allthe nominees but the.
So for this, folks, if youhaven't seen this, there's a
FEMA worker she was a supervisorin Florida who it was proven
and she's since been fired byFEMA.
That it was proven and sheadmitted to the fact that she
directed her people to avoidhouses and yards with Trump
(37:52):
signs in them.
Um, when it came in posthurricane, um, she has since
come out and said oh, that'sbusiness as usual, you'll find
it in the Carolinas too.
We we avoid confrontation.
So neighborhoods that areconfrontational, houses that are
confrontational, people thatare confrontational, we avoid
first.
We deescalate if we have to,but that's our policy and that's
(38:13):
how we do business.
So I told the people who workfor me to avoid those
neighborhoods, right, becausethey would be confrontational.
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, wow, first of all, that's a big crock of you
know what you know.
You've decided that justbecause somebody has a
particular sign in their yard,they are going to be
confrontational with people thatare there to help them.
Seems feasible, right.
And, by the way, just that sidenote of I believe it was Trump
himself who said or at least itwas people on the right saying
(38:44):
that this was going on thatthere was some and of course
they were like you crazyright-wingers, you conspiracy
theorists.
That's not happening.
Yeah, it is.
And now this lady is saying oh,you think it was just happening
here, it happened in all.
We've been doing this for awhile.
So she's obviously, you knowshe's going down and she's
taking the whole ship down withher, and you know that would be
the only slow clap I would giveher on this.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
But you know, yeah, and again.
So this is how it bled intopolicy, right Even maybe not
even written policy, but commonpractice within an organization,
a federal organization.
This became the norm under thispast administration.
Like that's how far down theroad the left has gone under the
Biden administration, withHarris, you know, sitting second
(39:27):
chair on hating the right, andit is.
This is like negligence, willfulmisconduct.
If anybody if they can proveanybody died as a result of this
, that lady and anybody who doesdid the same thing, needs to go
to jail.
Yeah, and that's not like letit pass, let it go Like it's.
It's in no like.
People need to be heldaccountable for this stuff and
(39:47):
for so long they haven't been.
You know I'm not necessarilyfor president Trump going around
and blasting people over thenext four years, but there's
some of this stuff that we can't.
You keep saying, don't forget,and I agree with you, but
there's some of it that we can'tbypass.
Like Hunter Biden needs to goto jail Straight up.
That guy needs to go to jailand that's not a witch hunt
thing.
That guy needs to go to jail.
(40:08):
This lady from FEMA if they canprove criminal negligence of
any kind, she needs to go tojail.
There's some things that youjust don't turn a blind eye to
Folks in the FBI jail, oh,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yeah, yeah, oh my gosh, yeah.
It infuriates me and it bothersthe heck out of me when people
from our side you know, ofcourse, I expect the people on
the left to say that and again,I hate the side thing, but this
is where we're at right now.
There's no avoiding it.
This is where we're at.
(40:46):
I really hate when people onour side of the aisle say things
like it's time to just moveforward, we won and let's just
enjoy that and just move on.
Accountability you have no ideawhat these people would have
been doing to us if they won.
There are no words for how badit would have gotten and we're
never going to find out, thankGod.
But part of me wishes that youcould do this like alternate
universe thing and show it tothem and say this is what it
would have looked like, this iswhat would have happened.
(41:06):
And I'm not.
I'm not like the whole eye foran eye thing.
Blah, blah, blah.
I just want accountability.
I want people to be heldaccountable for the things that
they did, because no one isgoing to learn anything from it.
If everybody gets let off thehook for blatantly breaking laws
and causing serious harm tothis entire country, what do we
(41:27):
have then?
What do we have?
That's ridiculous to me.
So I want them held accountable, and this isn't a vengeance
thing, this is an accountabilitything.
This is action and consequence,and I believe fully that they
should be held to the fullestextent of the law.
Whatever penalties we knownothing's going to happen to Joe
Biden, nothing's going tohappen to all the things that he
did.
Nothing's ever going to happen.
(41:47):
He'll get the pass, and I thinkthat's crap, but it is what it
is.
But all these other people?
No, we have people stillsitting in federal prison for J6
who all they did was take awalking tour through the
building that right there and wedidn't hit this in that recap.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
but there's two things that everybody needs to
remember.
You keep saying it, right?
One, there are 15 million lessvotes.
15 million, right yeah.
So you go back and you go backto like the last, you go over
the last seven or eightpresidential elections.
It's like 65 million million,sixty seven million, sixty eight
million, sixty five million,sixty six million, eighty one
(42:24):
million in 2020.
And then now we're back down tosixty five million and those 50
million votes evaporatedevaporated.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Where'd they go, guys ?
Where'd they go?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
There'll be no.
That right there, yeah, isenough doubt that that election
was stolen.
That right there is enoughdoubt that that election was
stolen.
Listen, I was not a stolenelection guy, but that right
there, that number isindisputable and that is enough
that everybody involved with J6,I think, had a right to protest
and truthfully I'm notadvocating for violence, but you
(42:56):
can understand a lot more howfrustrated those people were now
that we've got a little bit ofproof of stolen election.
That's one.
The other thing to remember isthat Mr Casey in Pennsylvania
still has not conceded, still.
Okay, we'll talk about electiondeniers in four frigging years
Right, because everybody youknow talked that about Trump for
(43:17):
the last four years.
And blah, blah, blah blah Stillhave somebody that hasn't
conceded.
Okay, so chuck that down andkeep that in your back pocket.
For four years from now.
We go through this crap again.
But let's go out on a littlebit happier note.
Let's talk about the awesomethings that have already started
happening.
Right, You've got the chartright of everything that that
has happened already let me pullthis guy up.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
This is, oh my gosh.
This is so, so, so wild and sofan stinkin tastic.
Hang on a second, guys.
My eyesight is work okay, so sowe're calling it so it's called
the trump effect.
72 hours after winning the 2024election, the first female,
first female chief of staffappointed, susie Wiles, right
(44:02):
New York City to stop givingdebit cards to illegals.
Us companies bring productionhome.
Stock market hitting all-timehighs.
Bitcoin hitting all-time highs.
Newest migrant caravan isbreaking up.
Qatar agrees to evict Hamasleaders.
Hamas wants immediate end towar.
Taliban claims to want newchapter.
(44:23):
China wants peacefulcoexistence.
Russia is ready to speak withthe US.
The EU wants to buy US gas, notRussian gas, and Ukraine
leaders are in talks with Trumpand Elon.
And that's just the tip of theiceberg.
There is so much more winninghappening.
It is Wow.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
It is like we called the Hamas thing Like yes, for
self credit.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
We've been saying that you get the credit I'm
giving you.
That's 100 percent.
You you called it.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
He's fixing that.
That's getting fixed already,right?
Yeah, you know, and that bleedsoff into Iran, right?
And then you know, I thinkyou've already got Zelensky.
Did he already talked to?
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Zelensky.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
I think so, I think so Already spoken Right and of
course Zelensky is doing thisnumber.
You know he's asking for moremoney.
I did see a threat, which Ithought was hilarious, from the
secretary general of NATO, whois like I will personally kick
the United States out of NATO.
Have a good time.
(45:21):
Let me know how that works out,for you, yeah, oh, stop, you're
hurting us.
Yeah, so, but there's.
There's a lot of activity.
There was, in the first 72hours and in the first seven
days, a lot of activity directlyas a result of president Trump
being reelected.
The world has stepped back andtaken notice.
It's not what the Democrats itto be.
(45:41):
There are a lot of countries Isaw a lot of countries I don't
know if you saw this in theirparliaments or their
governmental buildings, whateverhuge applause when the
announcements came across.
I know in Eastern Europe and incountries in Asia there was
tons of applause.
Many, many people, manygovernments around the world God
I sound like Trump are sayingyou know they were very happy,
(46:03):
right that he got he gotreelected.
The global reaction has beenoverall, very, very good.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Yes, Well, you know, I think, I think the simple fact
is is that most countries, mostpeople, with very, a very small
exception, they want peace.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Everybody wants peace , the right, I mean the
Democrats right now.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, boom, you know.
Look where the money goes,that's it.
Follow the money, right, that'salways the rule Follow the
money, follow the money, who'sgetting rich?
And we all know who's gettingrich.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Yeah, and he's been busy with the appointments even
today, right, so just we canwork backwards from today, but I
mean today alone, four bigappointments.
I think Pete Hedge that was wasit last night?
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I think, think pete hegseth was.
Was it last night?
I think that was last night.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yeah, I was like I'll be honest in my in my opinion
of today and he had four bigones today he's too good and too
bad, and I was really.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
I loved everything he did, up until um hegseth for
secta tell me why you don't likehim, because I I took a quick
look at his specs, if you will,and he sounded really good to me
on paper.
Why, why are you not loving so?
Speaker 3 (47:06):
uh, so DOD is the biggest enterprise in the
federal government and when Isay it's massive, right, think
of it's not just the Pentagon,it's all four services.
Right, we have their ownservice chiefs and all, but you
have all four services of thebasic services.
Plus you've got Coast Guard andyou've got Space Force and oh,
by the way, the DOD structureitself, which isn't just under
(47:30):
the umbrellas of the services.
It is a massive, massiveorganization.
He has zero experience leadinglarge organizations Zero.
Okay, People are gettingwrapped around.
Well, he was an officer in thearmy.
Okay, he was a major, and hewas in the National Guard.
Oh, by the way, qualifies youfor not that you have to be
military to be the sec def.
In fact, it's not a requirementand I'm okay with somebody not,
(47:52):
but his experience doesn't addanything.
Truthfully, everybody's like oh, he's got combat experience, so
what All of us do?
And oh by the way, all theservice chiefs do and everybody
who works in the Pentagon does,right, I mean, if we're
measuring things on combatexperience, you know General
Petraeus, who a lot of peoplelove me personally, but some
people do he had no combatexperience until he was a two
star general leading the 101stAirborne Division in 2003 in
(48:15):
Iraq.
None, ok, junior officerEisenhower had no combat
experience until he was a fourstar leading all forces in World
War Two.
All right, combat experiencedoes not make you qualified for
a job like that.
Fair, yeah, and truthfully,there's he's.
He's talking about a lot ofthings like he was on the Sean
Ryan show.
He's done a couple ofappearances where he's talking
(48:36):
about a lot of things that needto go away the EI and and all
this woke crap.
And I agree with all of that,right, the problem with the
problem with it is is that DODdoesn't stand alone by itself
and it doesn't just get to makedecisions on its own.
There's the House ArmedServices Committee, the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
The budget is approved byCongress.
The general officer, flagofficer appointments are all
(48:56):
approved by Congress.
He's complaining about generalsbeing politicized inside a DOD.
That's because they're approvedby Congress.
They have to have politicalsupport to progress.
He can't change that and hesays I'm going to get rid of all
those people, then you're goingto get rid of all of them.
He doesn't understand theprocess because he's never
worked in it.
Even as a National Guardofficer, he got activated for a
(49:19):
couple of deployments.
He's never worked in theapparatus, so he's saying things
out loud that he really has noexperience with and they're
blind spots for him, and I thinkit is such a massive
undertaking that he's going tospend a whole year trying to
figure out his job and presidentTrump is not going to be
patient with him for a year.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
No who would you?
Who would do?
You have anybody in mind thatwould be on your short list for
that?
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Yeah, People have asked me that because a lot of
people asked me my opinion aboutHegseth and I.
You know, I know some folkskind of on the fringes of things
, um, that I, I I would name orat least consider, but you know,
that is a there are too manypeople out in the business world
who I think should beconsidered, um, who know and
(50:02):
understand large organizationsand how to run them, and those
kinds of things that I thinkshould be considered.
That I don't know, I wouldnever offer a name because the
pool is too big and I'm justunfamiliar with it.
I do know that Pete Hegseth isnot, in my opinion, qualified to
do that job.
If he's qualified, then I'moverqualified because I got a
lot more experience than he does.
And oh, by the way, I'm notqualified to be the second.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
I was going to say I would nominate you, clay, but I
don't want you to leave my show.
You can't leave our show.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
But I am a fan of Tulsi as the DNI right.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
Love her.
Yes, as the director ofnational intelligence, that's
your girl.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
CIA works for her.
Yeah, the entire intelligenceapparatus works for her.
I think it's great.
I love it.
I'm not a fan of Matt Gaetz asthe attorney general.
That guy's got too much legalstuff in question in his past.
He's got a DUI charge thatlooks like it got covered up.
Even if it didn't, it lookslike it did.
There was a charge of sextrafficking.
That's not the guy that we.
(50:54):
He may not make it throughconfirmation, but I don't think
he's a good candidate.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
So each one, every single one is considered a
nominee right.
Every single one has to gothrough that vetting process.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
Congressional yes, they have to testify in front of
congress and okay, approved.
Um, I do love marco rubio assex state.
Okay, yeah, like that to metoday, as much as I love tulsi
as the dni.
Yeah, sex state.
Like, knocked it out of thepark.
That was the one of the bestpicks that he could make.
Um, you know, we've got uh,christy noem at dhs.
(51:25):
Now that's his name there.
He's got the.
What is it?
Dog, dog, dodge, what is itcalled?
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Yeah, that's Elon and Vivek are going to be heading
the Department of GovernmentEfficiency.
They're going to be cutting outall the fat.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
That's going to be-.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Love it.
Listen, I want the biggestbaddest, meaning best security
detail on these people.
Biggest baddest, meaning bestsecurity detail on these people
I want them to be protected with, like people who are armed to
the teeth.
I want, like I'm so excited andalso scared for these people
because of the amount of peoplethat they are going to be
pissing off.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Like they're going to make it public, so they're
going to post every single daythe things that they like, all
the action that they take'regoing to post every single day
the things that they like.
Action that they take is goingto be for total transparency is
supposed to be posted every day.
Oh, by the way, they're goingto have a tote board, a
scoreboard of the most absurdgovernment overspending, and
they're going to post it all thetime.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
This is like so exciting.
This is literally giving powerback to the people.
Transparency is key, right, andit's so ironic to all you
freaking Froot Loops out therethat keep saying Trump's going
to be a dictator.
Trump is literally giving thepowers back to the states, back
to the people.
Day one before even day one.
(52:42):
Like get it through your thickidiot heads and I'm sorry to be
so aggressively mean about it,but it can't be any more in your
face, like it's so clear what'shappening, what he's doing and
it's what you should want as anAmerican.
Like the number of people thatdon't understand the whole
principle of putting thesepowers back to the states.
(53:02):
One, it's because that's wherethey belonged all along and two,
because your staterepresentatives failed.
They failed to protect thatconstitutional laws and rights
and abilities.
The federal government has beengiven way too many powers, way
too many.
How many freaking departmentscan you have, which is, of
(53:23):
course, is all part of you know?
Yeah, and oh my gosh, you seeheads exploding about his
Department of Educationannouncement.
Speaker 3 (53:30):
I didn't see that.
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (53:31):
Oh, oh, no, oh, he's going to get rid of the
Department of Education.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
Well it's.
It's a beautiful thing because,you know, jimmy Carter started
it in 1976 and we went fromnumber one in the world to 24th
in the world and never made itback.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
So never made it back .
Speaker 3 (53:46):
That is unacceptable, so yeah, yes, you and I talked
about this even before westarted recording with the
exception of RFK right, and wedon't know where RFK is going to
land in this administration.
He is going to get a job, butthis is a young team.
The folks that he is bringingin are young.
There's no 68, 72-year-oldcareer politicians in this
(54:08):
cabinet, in this architecture ofany kind right Again, with RFK
as the exception.
But think about the people wetalked about Rubio Tulsi,
hegseth's young right Gates isyoung.
Kristi Noem's young, vance isyoung.
This is a very young, new ageconservative team that he is
bringing in and he's setting theparty up for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (54:30):
Yes, this is so strategically brilliant and
positive and beneficial for thiscountry.
I think I can speak for so manypeople in this country right
now when I say I'm finallyfeeling hope again, because I
really feared for this countryand I was emotionally and
mentally preparing for it tobecome a lost civilization, like
(54:53):
just to go down the way of theRomans you know into.
We're close, yeah, I mean,we're on the precipice of that
right.
Speaker 3 (55:01):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (55:02):
And I feel like this is our chance, this is our
opportunity to you know, toright the ship and get steering
on the right course again.
And I'm so excited for thefuture and again anxious.
So I know I've said it in pastepisodes, I'm going to say it
again to you guys If you are thepraying kind, prayers up for
that hedge of protection, man,and if you're not the praying
kind, just hope for it.
(55:22):
Hope for it, it all works.
It all works.
Speaker 3 (55:25):
I agree with you.
It all works.
It all works, I agree with you,and I think that the fact that
there has been absolutely zeroviolence in response to the
election is an indicator thatpeople are on board with this.
Yes, that you know.
Listen, some crazy womenshaving their heads.
That's not violence, right?
But what we didn't see was wedidn't see George Floyd riots.
We didn't see, you know, theriots of 2020.
We didn't see any of that stuff.
(55:46):
There was zero violence the dayafter the election.
Now we'll see what happens comeinauguration time, but I think
we're on a positive note, whichwe try to end on a positive note
.
We do.
We do the things that we'vecovered at the end of the show
are all great indicators thatwe're headed in the right
direction, and I'm with you.
I do have a feeling that we areheaded in the right direction
as a nation, not just because ofPresident Trump and the
administration, but because ofeverything surrounding it, and I
(56:08):
think this is a time to feelgood about where we are and
where we're going.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
Yes indeed, Guys.
We love you so much.
We're so appreciative of youjoining us.
Again, thanks a million timesover for joining us in our live
last week.
That was such great fun withyou.
Clay and I talked off air.
We do plan on doing more liveepisodes.
We'll scatter them here andthere in between.
In the meantime, again, we loveto talk with you in the
comments section, and next weekwe will bring you more fun stuff
(56:35):
.
Go ahead, Clay, you close themout.
Speaker 3 (56:37):
As always, folks again.
Live was awesome last week.
We're going to do more of itand I can't wait for that.
That's going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (56:41):
But until then and until next week, from me, me, as
always, keep moving, keepshooting combat veteran, terry
davis traded a life of adventureand violence for the quiet of
the midwest prairie, but when hecatches wind of a potential
terror threat to the country heswore to protect as a young man,
his instincts make itimpossible to stay on the
sidelines, dusting off his yearsof training and experience and
his guts to protect himself, hisloved ones and his nation.
The aging warrior winds up intampa making friends and meeting
(57:04):
enemies along the way, as thethreat slowly takes shape and
reveals itself.
Terry relies on the smarts andskills that kept him alive for
years of combat.
Yet the threat is much biggerthan he realized and he's not
sure if he can trust him.
The one thing he knows for sureis that if he wants to stay
alive, he needs to keep moving,keep shooting.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, it has been, and for us it's been over a week
.
I mean, we did the live show.
Hey, thanks to all.
What did we hit Like to allwhat?
What did we hit Like three, 30,something, I think, at the high
you're about.
Yeah, it was greatparticipating.
You guys are awesome, um, butwe did that last Tuesday on
election night show on Thursday,and today it's Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Wednesday we're recording, we're not live kids.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
This is not live four , 30 Eastern time.
We're recording the uhnominations which we're going to
discuss into all the cabinet,and key positions are coming
through hot and heavy, um, butit's been a heck of a week and
we've got a lot to talk about,don't we?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We sure do.
All right, let's get this introout of the way and we can get
going Woo-wee, so much stuff andthings, so much so much love it
(01:31):
so so much, all right.
So let's I mean let's go rightright from the, let's do our
recap, like let's go through thewhole thing.
Um, what time I want to knowelection night, what time did
you go to bed?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
uh, I stayed up to watch him give his speech.
So I think you know, whateverit was after the speech was over
with I, whatever time that was,I don't know, what time it was.
But I watched the speech, Iwatched him, you know, I watched
him drag everybody to themicrophone, which I thought was
pretty cool.
I've never seen that before.
But he, you know, it was very,very Trump style.
(02:02):
It was very off the cuff.
That was how late I stayed up.
I stayed up for the speech andthen I went to bed.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, I think I was up till, like, I guess,
watching everything tillprobably about 2 AM.
I didn't watch the speech.
I just, I like, finally pulledthe plug.
I said I can't do anywhere,I'll get the highlights, you
know, tomorrow or later today.
Meaning, and, uh, I, I went tobed.
I don't know how much I actuallyslept, I was so I had, you know
(02:28):
, and, it's funny, I wasn'talone in this I, I saw a lot of
people saying similar thingsthat I had, like this, it's
almost like PTSD and I hate tocompare anything to that, but
you know, so, bear with me as Isay something like that.
Um, but I had this fear thatwhen I woke up in the morning,
they would have, you know, donethe switch, done the flip, done
the drop Right, and the numberswill have changed.
(02:49):
So I was like going back andforth between elation and
anxiety, and that was apparentlya very common feeling.
People were, like you know,literally watching their phones
and I don't know about you, Igot most of my stuff off of X,
that's where I kept, you know,and I, I would like, my husband
and I, you know, we're likerefresh, you know, refresh, did
(03:10):
you refresh?
Okay, refresh, let's seeanything, anything, anything,
little crazy, little crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
But yeah, I did a little bit of the oppo thing.
I watched a little bit of CNN.
Um, I watched, uh, you know, alot of the melting down, a lot
of the groveling, which we willtalk about the reactions here in
a little bit.
But I was doing a lot ofchannel flipping, a lot of
social media flipping, had, foronce, all my alerts turned on.
Something would happen and itwould be like AP would hit it
(03:37):
and Fox would hit it and CNNwould hit it, and then you
wouldn't hear anything and then20 minutes later MSNBC or
somebody would hit, like I hadthem all turned on.
It was funny to watch.
But but yeah, I mean to see allof the things.
You know, not just the Senatewe're still waiting on the house
, right, as much as everybodyassumes that it's already been
(03:58):
one and it probably has but butwe still don't have an official
yet, you know but between theSenate and the house and you
know, obviously, the electoralcollege watching all of the, all
of the States, all the swingStates, all the battleground
States.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
What is it?
Seven swing States, right Seven, I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Arizona didn't didn't come through until a couple of
days later, but it was done.
It didn't matter at that pointbut that, and then the popular
vote.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, how about that?
Wow, you know.
So I came across this.
I'm gonna see if I can pull itup here.
So I came across this tweet.
I don't really actually know ifwe're still calling them tweets
on X, but that's what I'mcalling it, Right?
So this person's name is that,Kazen, and he, you know, I don't
know if he got it fromsomewhere else, but this is
(04:45):
where I found it, so I want tocredit him for it.
At that's Kazen K-A-I-Z-E-N.
He put together this list.
That is really very wow, OK.
So he says it's crazy to lookback and realize that one Trump
was banned from Twitter fromTwitter for two years.
He was banned from YouTube fortwo years.
(05:05):
Banned from Instagram andFacebook Same thing two years.
The government pressuredFacebook to censor dissenting
voices as misinformation.
They pressure Twitter to shadow, ban conservative accounts.
They pressure Twitter to censorthe Hunter Biden laptop story.
He's been hit with hundreds oflawsuits incurring one to two
million dollars in expenses.
Over the last eight years,Legacy media nearly near
(05:26):
uniformly posted negativeheadlines about him and Google
search results reflected uh yeah, reflected, and may have even
amplified media bias the factthat he was able to win against
again, I'm sorry, the fact thathe was able to win again despite
all of this is a stunningtriumph of the human spirit and
I agree wholeheartedly with that.
(05:48):
You know the obstacles that hehad to get through to just be
heard, to just be seen, withthat level of opposition against
him.
Um it, it really is.
I mean, this was a, this was acollection of more than half of
America saying we're not goingto be silenced.
He's not going to be silenced,and it's incredible when you
(06:09):
realize that the scope of theopposition that they laid
against him.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, I mean, and go even a step further.
You know two assassinationattempts.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah Right, I mean there's that you know.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So now you've got intimidation, you've got an
attempt to keep him fromappearing in public.
You've got all of those things.
You've got intimidation of hisfamily, beyond the lawsuits.
I mean you've got the law fair,which is a level of harassment
you know.
I mean the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
I mean that kind of kicked allof this off.
If you just go back, that'swhere it all kind of started and
(06:41):
it's all bred on fear, but itall backfired Like that.
I think is the point of whatthat Twitter poster said, that X
poster said, is you know, it'sthat it all backfired, every bit
of it.
It is a triumph.
It's an amazing underdog storyAlthough I don't know if
underdog is the right term, butfighting the grain.
(07:02):
You know he's fighting againstthe tide, whatever you want to
call it.
But yeah, you know, the factthat he overcame all of that is
the.
It's a comeback story, ifnothing else.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Um, but you know, all of that crap backfired all of
it every single thing that theydid, the gaslighting, the
gaslighting of epic proportions,and I just thank God every
minute of every day that therewere enough people to see
through it.
And a little side note youmentioned the Mar-a-Lago raid
(07:31):
and it made me think of MelaniaTrump declining the invitation
yes.
And citing that specifically.
So what's your thoughts on that?
I love it, but I can see wheresome people will probably say,
well, she should have gone.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I personally applaud her for you know I thought it
was out of character for her,because she is always so, yes,
together she's very graceful,gracious, very elegant, um, but,
but I but I think that's astatement too the fact she is at
her breaking point with thesepeople, I think, says more than
(08:05):
anything like of the one personwith maybe the exception of his
daughter the one person whoreally, in his life, keeps her,
you know, cool, keeps her calm,stays level and fair, like she
is that person, and for her toreach this breaking point is
that's very significant.
Um, so good, good honor.
(08:25):
I mean, I don't, um, I amshocked, though I I I really
thought that she would be theokay, let's sit down and talk
China patterns or whatever withit, and she said I'm done with
you.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So yeah, I think we're getting a new, new version
of Milani.
I think she will be no lessthan classy and elegant, as
she's always been.
She will, that will continue,but I think she's going to take
a little bit more of a?
Um, you know the stage.
She's going to take the stage alittle bit more the releasing
of her book, um, you knowinitiatives and things that
she's passionate about.
(08:56):
I think she must've come intothis saying listen, if we're
doing this again, then you knowmy terms and how I, how I want
to handle things, and I thinkthat's what she's going to do.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Well, and I think it was, was it Monday for Veterans
Day?
There's I don't know if you'veseen the film clip there's some
serious iciness between the vicepresident, presidential
candidate Harris and the firstlady, glacial yeah, so.
So that says a lot too.
I mean, it's all environmental,but you know, we have long
(09:26):
suspected I'm not even suspectedyou, and I have long said that
Jill Biden is, you know, she's apariah, she's, she's, she is
the root of many of the problemsthat are going on right now.
Oh yeah, and to get thatbetween her and Harris, and then
, obviously, with the soon to befirst lady for a second term
However, that's a second term,yes for her to react the way she
(09:47):
did, I think, says a lot too.
So I think that's quite a lot.
Yeah, I think dr jill would be.
You know she's one of thoselike the.
The dog is probably going tobite at her and you trust oh
yeah, absolutely, yeah, she is,she is absolutely so.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
She's so done mentally with all of this.
You know, a big bleepity, bleepto all of you.
Um, um, I, I was watching, youknow, every.
It got played a lot.
I'm sure you saw it too, theclip of her and Biden walking on
the beach like come on, man,like I couldn't even make a
video about it, I couldn't even.
I couldn't even make a video tomake fun of it.
But you know, because it was soawful, um, horrific to watch,
(10:27):
really, um, and again, thatanger.
I mean again I say this so manytimes no, don't like the man,
never have, never will, um, butlike the people in his life,
like you, let this guy do this.
And that was the thing thatactually I paid the most
attention to.
In that video the man is likestumbling, near, falling.
It's, you know, it's a trafficaccident, traffic accident that
you're watching.
Basically, she didn't evenglance at him, she just kept
(10:50):
walking.
There's a point where she waskind of like behind him and he
was right here.
It's not that she couldn't seehim.
There's no way she couldn'thave known that he was falling
all over the place.
You don't put your arm out.
That to me, was really almostone of the most disgusting
things I've ever seen of aspouse with their their partner
Like yeah, she's, she's beenhorrible.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, she's been horrible for a long time.
We know that but you know, Ithink that is indicative, you
know.
Moving on to, you know, our,our, our, next topic.
I mean that that the reactionsfrom the left are also great
indicators, and so there's a lotof finger pointing.
Right there's a lot of blame tobe had.
Both President Biden got blamedfor a poor administration.
(11:34):
He got blamed for staying inthe race too long.
He got blamed for pickingKamala Harris as his vice
president in the first place,you know, and then you know.
And then the first lady gotblamed.
She got blamed for forcing himto stay in too long.
She got blamed for, and thenobviously Harris.
And so there's lots of fingerpointing going on, but those two
(11:56):
I was surprised at the amountof blame that the president and
the first lady took in theaftermath of this.
I know they were looking toblame somebody, but to go after
him and and then, of course, yousee him walk on the beach like
that and you're like well, heclearly is incapable.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Right, like he's not even there.
Yeah, although you know therunning joke, of course, has
been all of a sudden he's comeout for these a handful of
pressers and he's spry as can be.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Very y as can be.
Yeah, very yippy, skippy andcoherent, like what is that well
, you know, it's some of it'sthe meds and some of it.
As you know, like all of usthat have been around aging
people like they have great daysand they have not great days.
Right, and the fact the matteris is, as the president, united
states, you can't have a notgreat day, like it doesn't work,
yeah, um.
So you know the reactions and Iknow you're going to talk about
some of the crazy stuff that'sgoing on, but you know, did you
(12:49):
watch the View the next day?
I watched about 15 minutes.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I, you know, I'm in this mode of self-preservation
that I cannot.
I catch highlights or lowlightsin this case of things, and I
wait, I make everybody else doall the heavy lifting for me.
And then I watched theirhighlight reels and and yeah, I
mean everything what you woulddo.
Do they all come out in blackor something?
Are they all in black?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
There's what?
There's six, I think, at thedesk and I think four of them.
Four of them were in black.
Yes, I noticed that.
I was like what is this?
It was like the first four outthe door funeral Right which you
know.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
For them it kind of was For them it is.
They truly believe, theybelieve.
You know a lot of them at least, maybe not all of them, but
those people certainly believewhat they're saying.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, there's.
There was two and I don't knowtheir names other than Whoopi
and Joy, you know, becausethey've been on there forever.
But two of the women on therewere pretty introspective and I
saw that from some of the hostson CNN the following day and
there's some interviews withsome Democrats out there, both
in the pundit world but also inthe political world, that were
(13:52):
very like okay, well, we got tofigure this out, like we need to
figure out what happened.
But for the most part there wasa lot of meltdown going on.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
A lot of meltdowns, a lot of defiance.
You know a lot of still.
You know name calling of theright, you know of people on the
right for voting them.
Still still name calling, stillslinging mud, not learning a
gosh darn lesson from anythingthat just happened.
And I agree with you, you knowI don't, I don't want to make
any blanket statements sayingyou know that all of the left,
(14:21):
all of the mainstream media onthe left is, you know, still
behaving foolishly.
There are some, like you said,that are being a little more
introspective and trying tofigure this out and see where
they went wrong.
And I mean you know the simple,the fast answer to that is
don't call half the countrygarbage.
Here's a thought, you know Imean step one right, you know, I
mean step one.
(14:41):
Once upon a time presidentialcandidates or any political
candidates your whole purpose isto win people over to your side
.
And this time around and ofcourse it's been like this for a
little while, but this was themost obvious where, instead of
trying to reach across the aisleand bring people over and say,
hey, listen, we're just, we wantthe same things that you do
(15:04):
Come on over here, bring peopleover and say, hey, listen, we're
just, we want the same thingsthat you do, come on over here.
This was a time where bothsides said a big bleepity, bleep
, you know.
Raise that middle finger to theother side and said, nope, this
is war, this is a battle, it'sus against you and you know, to
the death we fight, basically,you know.
So that's a little bit crazy tome.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I think, though.
I think, though, that PresidentTrump did, and the campaign as
a whole they tried to reachacross a little bit more.
They didn't try and reachacross, they tried to reach into
the middle, and you and I havetalked about this.
That's what elections used tobe about.
Right, you never had to play toyour base.
They were gimme, they werethree foot putt Like you were
going to get those votes.
You didn't have to play to thebase, you played to the middle
(15:47):
to try and draw the middle.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Right, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Like I agree.
Yeah, I think, I think theydefinitely yeah, both both sides
played to the extremes anddidn't do a great job at trying.
The middle is so small now thatthey didn't do a great job to
play the middle.
Except President Trump did onthe basis of, truthfully, the
economy.
Like that, that was where hewas reaching across to anybody
(16:10):
and everybody who felt poor,like I don't care what, I don't
care what party you're from, youcan't pay your bills and you're
worried about feeding your kids, like this is where you need to
be.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
So he reached out, I think, on an economic basis and
not on a you know kind of thestaunch policy basis that the
parties tend to follow, and hereached out to, reached out to
and reached the youngerpopulation and there's a, you
know, more than a rumor thatBarron had a great deal to do
with that.
That he was yes, there's, yeah,there's talk that behind the
(16:45):
scenes, very quietly, he washighly, highly instrumental to
pointing his father to thedemographic and to the actual
literal people you knowstreamers and stuff like that
pointing them to, pointing himto the people he should be
engaging with and talking to.
So I find that incrediblyfascinating be engaging with and
(17:07):
talking to.
So I find that incrediblyfascinating and I truly look
forward to see what Barron Trumpis going to do.
He's 18 now and he's emerging alittle bit.
He's still pretty quiet, buthe's emerging a little bit, and
I think mom has a lot to do withthat.
So it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And Kai Kai is also a bit of a superstar.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I love Kai, I love her.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You know, and she, I saw her in social media in the
in the waning days of the of thecampaign, you know, and even
right after the election.
You know this is why you shouldvote for my grandpa.
You know this is who my grandpareally is, kind of stuff.
So I think you know you're, youprobably hadn't even thought of
Baron.
I knew I'd seen Kai enough, shehad been vocal enough that you
know, I knew she probably had atleast a touch of influence, but
(17:42):
I hadn't even thought of Baron,and that's probably it's.
It's a very interesting point,you know, maybe, maybe you know,
I mean you've got obviouslyDonald and Eric and you know, or
Don Jr and Eric, and then youknow the daughters, and now
you've got Baron as well, andthen you've got Kai and you know
(18:04):
I don't like saying this outloud, but you know there has the
potential for a Kennedy-esquefeel to this.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I, I completely agree .
I've, I felt that all along too.
You know, I, I look at thatTrump family and it's, you know,
it's what a dynasty.
First of all, I mean you have,first of all, to be very
superficial, um, visually, whata striking right.
I mean they're all Amazons, youknow exactly.
You know they're just beautifulpeople, quite literally
beautiful looking people.
(18:27):
They are incredibly smart andthey're just I mean, in my
opinion they are the totalpackage really.
You know, smart, articulate,well put together.
They keep their noses clean,you know, or at least as far as
we can tell, as far as we knowyou know if they're not right.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
They're no hunter, that's for sure.
Yeah, right, I mean that alone.
You get points just for thatthese days, let's hit some of
the crazy, because I know you,you, you hit me with this even
when we were talking topics wowI mean.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
So I, I'm sure, and we'll throw some videos in here,
disperse them in through these,just so you can see.
Actually, you, you know what.
Let's do that If I get anythingaside from Kamala get the f***
out of my face.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
I'm going to be honest.
I was very blindsided by theresults this morning.
I've decided that cigarettesdon't count today and I honestly
might go get a tattoo, but Ialso have decided that for the
next four years, I am going toabstain from schmucks with men.
Donald Trump is president and Ithink all women should stop
having sex for the next fouryears in protest and protection
(19:29):
of your bodies.
As we know, if that little babyinside you gives you any
trouble and you need anemergency healthcare, you're
gonna die.
I think that is sufficientenough reason to stop having sex
.
This vote wasn't a vote forAmericans.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
This vote was for men , and unless we want to become
the handmaid's tale, then uswomen need to protest because
this is so buttery bull.
All I have to say is good luckgetting laid, especially in
Florida, because me and mygirlies are participating in the
4B movement.
That's my next plan.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, I mean, so this is mild, these reactions are
actually the mild ones, andlet's touch on that.
4b movement.
So this is mild, like these are.
These reactions are actuallythe mild ones, and let's touch
on that for B movement.
So this is like a Korean thingthat the women there, they were
oppressed and they came up withthis thing, so it's like they
abstain.
There's like four things.
They all start with B in Koreanand, and it's something about
(20:20):
abstaining from sex with men,something else.
It was like four differentthings that they're going to do
to protest, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, so I've seen that.
That which good, I meanexcellent.
If they don't want to reproduceFine.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, the irony of that, though, right, the irony.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
There's that.
There's the blue bracelets,which I think is a way for them
to publicly identify each other,right and then, and shaving
their heads.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Shaving their heads, and there's also one as part of
like the blue blue bracelets andblue heart tattoos, so they can
all recognize each other.
I'm like I'm pretty sure youcan recognize each other pretty
easily, cause you're the onesall acting crazy, like going
nuts and crying in the streetsand you know.
And then there's also onefloating around of promoting
(21:11):
using untraceable poison topoison your, the men in your
life.
Like these people are crazy.
And then add to that there'sbeen several incidents of school
teachers.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Making credible.
You know well threats but wildrants about.
You know there's one actuallyin my home state, cheshire
elementary school teacher, whothought it would be a great idea
to to put one of these rants onsnapchat.
And I, you know you know whichone.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Yeah and people of color and poor people and gay
people and all the people that Icare about aren't going to be
safe in america.
Neither the are you guys.
Just because you won doesn'tmean we don't remember who the
you voted for.
You're not in the clear.
Just please, please, don't testyour gangster on me, because
(22:10):
you will end on a stretcher Goneforever.
So serious.
Nobody can talk to me unlessyou want to swing.
If you want to fight, text me,call me.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, and I know what her logic was.
I don't know if it's still thedeal.
I don't really use Snapchat,but I have it, but I don't use
it.
Apparently, they disappearafter like 24 hours or something
.
So you like, you make your postor your video, whatever, and
then it's gone.
The internet is forever and, ofcourse, somebody you know
screen recorded it or downloadit or whatever you do, and, yes,
(22:42):
that spread like wildfire.
She is on leave right now, whichI'm hoping is just simply a
formality in the process offiring, because if this woman
gets let back to teach, maybeit's an extreme response, but my
genuine response here is if youare a conservative, if you
voted for Trump and you are notquiet about it and you're,
(23:04):
you've spoken about it, get yourkids out of public schools.
I mean, these people arebonkers.
This is this is how they react,this is their response and I
love.
I love that people are likethat.
They on that side of things arelike, oh, you do this, if you
guys lost, you would be soobnoxious.
There's a difference betweenbeing obnoxious and gloating and
being like yay or boo, whateverthe case, and then there's
(23:27):
threats of violence.
Like I'm not if Trump lost.
I love the man.
If he lost, I would not beshaving my head for him.
I'm just not doing it.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Yeah, there's, there's the um, the first girl
in that, you know series thatyou put, put on there talking
about cutting people out of herlife.
There's a lot of people thatare talking about doing that
cutting out family members whichis absurd.
But you know, here's the,here's the difference in the
reaction, right.
And so there was and this onekills me there was talk of
trying to two things one, get apresident and we talked about
(23:57):
this before get president Bidento step down, right.
And then they, you know,install vice president Harris
and she gets to become thefemale president.
You know, blah, blah, blah.
So there's that.
There was also the.
There's the push to get JusticeSotomayor to retire Right
Before President Trump you knowhis inauguration and to appoint
Vice President Harris as aSupreme Court judge.
I saw that.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I think I just saw that she said nah.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Well, here's the thing, right.
For the last four years, we'velistened to pack the courts and
we've listened to end thefilibuster.
We, the Republicans, now havethe White House, the House, the
Senate and a six three majorityin the Supreme Court.
If any Republican right nowsaid let's end the filibuster
and let's pack the Supreme Court, there would be an absolute.
This is why Chuck Schumer islike Heyuster and let's pack the
Supreme Court, there would bean absolute.
This is why Chuck Schumer islike hey, everybody, let's play
nice for the next couple ofyears, you know, let's not go
(24:53):
nuclear.
That's exactly.
They were talking nuclear optionfor the last four years because
they were trying to gain power.
And if you had any Republicanin Congress anywhere right now
talking about those two topics,people would lose their mind.
Could you imagine adding sixmore justices, and all appointed
by Trump?
Yeah, right, right, right.
So you'd have a 12, three, a 12, three, and then oh, by the way
, get rid of the filibuster.
(25:13):
So, like any, anything thatanybody proposed got passed, you
couldn't stop it.
It would pass with a simplemajority because everybody would
go through and vote party line,it would get to the president
and then, if somebody took it tothe Supreme Court.
Even if two justices went theother way, it would still be 11
to five, like it would be.
This would be overrun for thenext four years.
But you can't say that becausethe reaction would be oh my God,
(25:37):
you guys, what are you doing?
This isn't how our country issupposed to be.
These aren't the same.
You know, we've got safeguardsfor a reason.
Yeah, no, kidding, that's whatwe've been telling you for for
you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Exactly.
Yeah, amazing how that suddenly, in an instant, became a bad
idea, and that's what disgustsme, and I'm sure you feel
exactly the same way.
That is what disgusts me and Idon't want anyone to forget.
Right, we're not going to playnice, no, and I'm sick of
(26:10):
hearing that too.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Well, now it's time to you know.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Mend the fences and, and you know, come together.
No, it's not.
It's not that time.
That's what you want to say.
You want to say BS yes, thankyou.
Yeah, it's not that time,because these are dirty, filthy,
lying sacks of garbage.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
There's that word again.
So where it belongs, right, butokay.
So moving this rolls right intothe next topic, which is why
did president Trump win, right?
I mean, that's that's wherewe're at, and why did he win?
And it's because of crap likethis.
Yes, this is why we, we, youknow.
This is why he won theelectoral college.
This is why he won every swingstate.
This is why he wanted thepopular vote.
This is why he won it.
Like president Biden beat vicepresident Harris in every county
(26:47):
, even the counties she won.
She didn't do better than him.
So, literally, ground wasgained in every single county
across the United States.
Yeah, like, and it's because ofthis crap, it's because of
identity politics, it's becauseof, you know, the attack mindset
, it's because of DEI, it'sbecause of CRT, it's because of
(27:09):
all of this crap that's beingforced on people, and the
average American is just sick ofit.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, yeah, listen, we're not safe, we're not
economically sound, we're nothealthy, we're not trusting our
government.
We are so divided and violentagainst each other Well, not
really us against them butenough, enough, we're done.
(27:36):
Nobody is going to vote forHarris.
I believe fully that they wentin there, walked in saying to
their friends whatever oh, yeah,no, totally voting for her.
Yeah, absolutely yeah.
And they went in there and theyvoted with logic, you know.
I believe that.
I believe that there are a tonof people that went in and, you
(27:58):
know, told people that they weregoing to vote for her because
that's what everybody wanted tohear, and they voted with their
actual conscience and said youknow, maybe took a look at their
bank account and looked at, youknow, their surroundings and
realize that you know, all ofthose things were not safe.
We're not better, we're notnumber one anymore.
We're far from it.
Now we have to change it, youknow.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
And the.
You know there's a lot ofmechanics and a lot of this.
I think all of this feeds in.
I don't think you can point afinger at any one reason why
President Trump won.
I would actually even arguethat President Trump won almost
as much as Harris lost it, likeshe lost that election.
I don't think Biden would havewon either, but I think that she
(28:41):
really, you know, shot herselfand lost this election as much
as anything you know from thelate entry.
Ok, fine, right, did that playinto it?
I think it did.
But again, I don't thinkPresident Biden was going to win
either, not after that debate.
Performance Right.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, that's the deal on him.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
So did she get a short, you know runway.
Maybe Did she get $1.4 billion.
Yeah, Right.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I was just going to say, yeah, I love how
they like to.
Now they're trying to like.
Well, she was really at adisadvantage.
She really just everything wasstriked against her.
I'm sorry.
You had what'd you say?
$1.4 billion, which, by the way, 20 million in debt.
Now, you had all of thecelebrity endorsements, you had
the mainstream media on yourside cheering you along.
(29:27):
I mean, you had all of theadvantage, all of it, every
single bit of advantage, fairand unfair, yeah, and this is
what happened.
So it is definitely time toself-reflect on their part, yeah
.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
People said I've heard this and this was the most
absurd.
She ran a perfect campaign.
I heard that I think it was JoyReid actually, which is not
surprising, but she ran theperfect campaign, which clearly
she did not.
Now in the blame game, right?
So the why did Trump win?
You and I have been talkingabout this for weeks the
demographics they lost are thedemographics that really, really
(30:00):
hurt them.
Their votes flipped.
You know, maybe Georgia, maybe,maybe Michigan, maybe, but I
(30:29):
don't think so.
But put you know and I know,like places like New York, new
York state, because of New Yorkcity, you know Illinois because
of Chicago, you know Californiabecause of LA, san Francisco,
san Diego, right, a change inthe popular vote didn't shift
enough to change the electoralcollege, but it did change the
popular vote, which is a hugestatement.
2004, right was the last time aRepublican won the popular vote
.
It was Bush's seconders.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You know Trump himself.
Of course, he has his strong,solid, loyal fan base followers.
But, you know, then you bringin someone like JD Vance and you
bring in someone like RFK Jrand you bring in Vivek and Tulsi
.
You start bringing, of course,elon, you start bringing in
these really, really smartyounger people who can actually
(31:18):
connect with the youngergeneration and speak to them.
It's just, it's the dream team.
I mean, it truly is the dreamteam, and, of course, they keep
adding more and we'll get tothat in just a moment.
But, yeah, I think what happenedwas there were enough people.
You know, one of many, manyfactors, but I think also, one
of those factors is that therewere enough people who said
listen, I don't like Trump, I'mnever going to like him, but I
(31:43):
like a strong economy.
You know, number one and thatis always for adults that is
always going to end up being ifyou're a sane person, that is
always going to end up beingyour number one thing.
Can I put food on my table, paymy mortgage or buy a house or
rent a home?
You know, rent a place, buy acar, can I do those things?
(32:04):
Nope, well, now we have aproblem, and I think that at the
core of it is why you knowpeople who were meh on Trump.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
This was a bit of a crass statement, but I think it
speaks to exactly what thedifference was and it was.
I don't remember who exactlysaid it, but it was immediately
following the election and itwas like you know, amazingly
enough, women go to the grocerystore more often than they get
abortions and it was like just astatement of like the economy
(32:34):
matters every single day to mostpeople, right, the population
that are voting, the single,single voter, single issue
voters that are voting becauseof abortion are much smaller and
is really less of a concern ifyou can't keep your lights on.
So you know.
Again, it was a little crass inhow it was stated, but but the
(32:54):
but the intent behind it is ahundred percent true.
So you know, that's the.
That's the other part of it,too, is that you know the Dems
and you hit it with thecelebrity.
You know, the celebrities thatTrump brought in were people
that could.
You know one.
They could add to theconversation, they could add to
the, they were added to the team.
You know, danica Patrick wasn'tsomebody who anybody, I think,
(33:16):
expected, but she jumped in andshe became a big name and a big
face.
You know, and to be honest withyou Beyonce wasn't going to be
in the administration, bruceSpringsteen is not going to be
in the administration, georgeClooney is not going to be in
the administration, where youknow, and I can't think of a
single person that Harris had asingle celebrity or known face
that she had that would haveparticipated, whereas Trump
(33:39):
intermingled.
Listen, hulk Hogan is who he is.
I know most of America knowshim, but nobody's listening to
him on who to vote for.
But all the names that he didbring in, I think Elon was huge,
huge, huge, because he's nowadding to the team.
He's not just a face, right.
He's not just a voice, he's notjust a celebrity, he's adding
to the team.
Kid Rock's not in theadministration, he's not just a
celebrity, he's adding to theteam.
(33:59):
Kid Rock's not in theadministration, right, but there
were the other folks that hebrought in to be part of this,
right.
Rfk Jr is going to be part ofthis.
He had a bit of a rock starstatus at the end of this and
that's great.
So, again, the normal person,the average person, the person
of intelligence and of commonsense, looks and goes.
I don't give a crap what Oprahsays, I don't care.
Oh, by the way, violation ofelection rules by paying her a
(34:22):
million dollars for herendorsement, by the way.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, a million dollars.
I think Beyonce got a nice bigchunk of change.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And it's all illegal.
It's all going to getinvestigated because it's all
illegal yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yep, they paid, I don't know, hundreds of
thousands of dollars apparentlyto build the set for that
podcast that she did.
Yeah, so you know she's payingoff people and a lot of fat good
that did.
And, by the way, pretty sure Idon't think anybody got paid to
endorse Trump None of thesepeople.
They did it because, right,noticing, I love that.
Lee Greenwood, you know, proudto be an American, yeah, yeah,
(34:55):
he put out a statement like.
I've played this so many timesfor him, a longtime friend.
I have never accepted or wanteda dime for it and I'll do it
over and over again, which youknow.
Bravo, I love it.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
So yeah, and there was a little Trump jab like, hey
, we got all this extra moneyover here and you guys are short
$20 million.
I mean, in the name of unity,how about I pay your bills for
you?
And I think she actually meantit to an extent.
There are people who aren'tgoing to get paid.
There's vendors in yourcontract, it's not?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
a small number, that's a big chunk of change.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
People are not going to get paid, they're not going
to get their wage, they're notgoing to get their contract paid
because she's $20 million short.
And again it goes to the factthat they don't really care
about the average working person.
And the disconnect with thecelebrities, the disconnect with
policy, the disconnect ingeneral between the Dems and the
elite Dems and Hollywood andall that crap and the average
(35:53):
American, I think, in the endwas the biggest influencer of
why president Trump won.
Yeah, because nobody, theaverage person in America does
not relate to the democraticparty anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Right, no, no.
And you know, I think it becamemore and more obvious that the
democrat party was pandering toa, to a like a baser version of
people, not their intellect buttheir superficial needs.
You know, the celebrities Imean that's the celebrities are
(36:24):
a perfect example Like, oh,we'll just, we'll just entertain
you and you'll vote for us.
You know, because you're notsmart enough to ask about the
issues.
You know, and I think it reallywas, the entire campaign from
the Democrat Party, from KamalaHarris, was an absolute slap in
the face to their entiredemographic.
You know, so insulting fromObama talking down to black men,
(36:47):
to her, affecting the accent ofthe day and to never answer,
right, you know, I mean neveranswering a question and just
deflecting everything.
Well, trump, well, trump, willTrump, will Trump.
You know, and it's like in theAmerica people were like lady,
what are you going to do?
Like, what are you going to do?
Because what you've done so farkind of sucks.
So you got anything for us?
And you know, theyunderestimated and they
(37:08):
undervalued the intellect of thepeople.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
And you know, and you know our next topic is key in
just the actual like how itbecame policy to alienate people
and at the risk of personalharm, up to and including death
potentially.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Am I pulling up FEMA?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yeah, I mean we can do FEMA now and then we'll hit
the Trump impact and the and allthe nominees but the.
So for this, folks, if youhaven't seen this, there's a
FEMA worker she was a supervisorin Florida who it was proven
and she's since been fired byFEMA.
That it was proven and sheadmitted to the fact that she
directed her people to avoidhouses and yards with Trump
(37:52):
signs in them.
Um, when it came in posthurricane, um, she has since
come out and said oh, that'sbusiness as usual, you'll find
it in the Carolinas too.
We we avoid confrontation.
So neighborhoods that areconfrontational, houses that are
confrontational, people thatare confrontational, we avoid
first.
We deescalate if we have to,but that's our policy and that's
(38:13):
how we do business.
So I told the people who workfor me to avoid those
neighborhoods, right, becausethey would be confrontational.
Wow.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, wow, first of all, that's a big crock of you
know what you know.
You've decided that justbecause somebody has a
particular sign in their yard,they are going to be
confrontational with people thatare there to help them.
Seems feasible, right.
And, by the way, just that sidenote of I believe it was Trump
himself who said or at least itwas people on the right saying
(38:44):
that this was going on thatthere was some and of course
they were like you crazyright-wingers, you conspiracy
theorists.
That's not happening.
Yeah, it is.
And now this lady is saying oh,you think it was just happening
here, it happened in all.
We've been doing this for awhile.
So she's obviously, you knowshe's going down and she's
taking the whole ship down withher, and you know that would be
the only slow clap I would giveher on this.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
But you know, yeah, and again.
So this is how it bled intopolicy, right Even maybe not
even written policy, but commonpractice within an organization,
a federal organization.
This became the norm under thispast administration.
Like that's how far down theroad the left has gone under the
Biden administration, withHarris, you know, sitting second
(39:27):
chair on hating the right, andit is.
This is like negligence, willfulmisconduct.
If anybody if they can proveanybody died as a result of this
, that lady and anybody who doesdid the same thing, needs to go
to jail.
Yeah, and that's not like letit pass, let it go Like it's.
It's in no like.
People need to be heldaccountable for this stuff and
(39:47):
for so long they haven't been.
You know I'm not necessarilyfor president Trump going around
and blasting people over thenext four years, but there's
some of this stuff that we can't.
You keep saying, don't forget,and I agree with you, but
there's some of it that we can'tbypass.
Like Hunter Biden needs to goto jail Straight up.
That guy needs to go to jailand that's not a witch hunt
thing.
That guy needs to go to jail.
(40:08):
This lady from FEMA if they canprove criminal negligence of
any kind, she needs to go tojail.
There's some things that youjust don't turn a blind eye to
Folks in the FBI jail, oh,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yeah, yeah, oh my gosh, yeah.
It infuriates me and it bothersthe heck out of me when people
from our side you know, ofcourse, I expect the people on
the left to say that and again,I hate the side thing, but this
is where we're at right now.
There's no avoiding it.
This is where we're at.
(40:46):
I really hate when people onour side of the aisle say things
like it's time to just moveforward, we won and let's just
enjoy that and just move on.
Accountability you have no ideawhat these people would have
been doing to us if they won.
There are no words for how badit would have gotten and we're
never going to find out, thankGod.
But part of me wishes that youcould do this like alternate
universe thing and show it tothem and say this is what it
would have looked like, this iswhat would have happened.
(41:06):
And I'm not.
I'm not like the whole eye foran eye thing.
Blah, blah, blah.
I just want accountability.
I want people to be heldaccountable for the things that
they did, because no one isgoing to learn anything from it.
If everybody gets let off thehook for blatantly breaking laws
and causing serious harm tothis entire country, what do we
(41:27):
have then?
What do we have?
That's ridiculous to me.
So I want them held accountable, and this isn't a vengeance
thing, this is an accountabilitything.
This is action and consequence,and I believe fully that they
should be held to the fullestextent of the law.
Whatever penalties we knownothing's going to happen to Joe
Biden, nothing's going tohappen to all the things that he
did.
Nothing's ever going to happen.
(41:47):
He'll get the pass, and I thinkthat's crap, but it is what it
is.
But all these other people?
No, we have people stillsitting in federal prison for J6
who all they did was take awalking tour through the
building that right there and wedidn't hit this in that recap.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
but there's two things that everybody needs to
remember.
You keep saying it, right?
One, there are 15 million lessvotes.
15 million, right yeah.
So you go back and you go backto like the last, you go over
the last seven or eightpresidential elections.
It's like 65 million million,sixty seven million, sixty eight
million, sixty five million,sixty six million, eighty one
(42:24):
million in 2020.
And then now we're back down tosixty five million and those 50
million votes evaporatedevaporated.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Where'd they go, guys ?
Where'd they go?
Speaker 3 (42:33):
There'll be no.
That right there, yeah, isenough doubt that that election
was stolen.
That right there is enoughdoubt that that election was
stolen.
Listen, I was not a stolenelection guy, but that right
there, that number isindisputable and that is enough
that everybody involved with J6,I think, had a right to protest
and truthfully I'm notadvocating for violence, but you
(42:56):
can understand a lot more howfrustrated those people were now
that we've got a little bit ofproof of stolen election.
That's one.
The other thing to remember isthat Mr Casey in Pennsylvania
still has not conceded, still.
Okay, we'll talk about electiondeniers in four frigging years
Right, because everybody youknow talked that about Trump for
(43:17):
the last four years.
And blah, blah, blah blah Stillhave somebody that hasn't
conceded.
Okay, so chuck that down andkeep that in your back pocket.
For four years from now.
We go through this crap again.
But let's go out on a littlebit happier note.
Let's talk about the awesomethings that have already started
happening.
Right, You've got the chartright of everything that that
has happened already let me pullthis guy up.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
This is, oh my gosh.
This is so, so, so wild and sofan stinkin tastic.
Hang on a second, guys.
My eyesight is work okay, so sowe're calling it so it's called
the trump effect.
72 hours after winning the 2024election, the first female,
first female chief of staffappointed, susie Wiles, right
(44:02):
New York City to stop givingdebit cards to illegals.
Us companies bring productionhome.
Stock market hitting all-timehighs.
Bitcoin hitting all-time highs.
Newest migrant caravan isbreaking up.
Qatar agrees to evict Hamasleaders.
Hamas wants immediate end towar.
Taliban claims to want newchapter.
(44:23):
China wants peacefulcoexistence.
Russia is ready to speak withthe US.
The EU wants to buy US gas, notRussian gas, and Ukraine
leaders are in talks with Trumpand Elon.
And that's just the tip of theiceberg.
There is so much more winninghappening.
It is Wow.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
It is like we called the Hamas thing Like yes, for
self credit.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
We've been saying that you get the credit I'm
giving you.
That's 100 percent.
You you called it.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
He's fixing that.
That's getting fixed already,right?
Yeah, you know, and that bleedsoff into Iran, right?
And then you know, I thinkyou've already got Zelensky.
Did he already talked to?
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Zelensky.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
I think so, I think so Already spoken Right and of
course Zelensky is doing thisnumber.
You know he's asking for moremoney.
I did see a threat, which Ithought was hilarious, from the
secretary general of NATO, whois like I will personally kick
the United States out of NATO.
Have a good time.
(45:21):
Let me know how that works out,for you, yeah, oh, stop, you're
hurting us.
Yeah, so, but there's.
There's a lot of activity.
There was, in the first 72hours and in the first seven
days, a lot of activity directlyas a result of president Trump
being reelected.
The world has stepped back andtaken notice.
It's not what the Democrats itto be.
(45:41):
There are a lot of countries Isaw a lot of countries I don't
know if you saw this in theirparliaments or their
governmental buildings, whateverhuge applause when the
announcements came across.
I know in Eastern Europe and incountries in Asia there was
tons of applause.
Many, many people, manygovernments around the world God
I sound like Trump are sayingyou know they were very happy,
(46:03):
right that he got he gotreelected.
The global reaction has beenoverall, very, very good.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Yes, Well, you know, I think, I think the simple fact
is is that most countries, mostpeople, with very, a very small
exception, they want peace.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Everybody wants peace , the right, I mean the
Democrats right now.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, boom, you know.
Look where the money goes,that's it.
Follow the money, right, that'salways the rule Follow the
money, follow the money, who'sgetting rich?
And we all know who's gettingrich.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Yeah, and he's been busy with the appointments even
today, right, so just we canwork backwards from today, but I
mean today alone, four bigappointments.
I think Pete Hedge that was wasit last night?
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I think, think pete hegseth was.
Was it last night?
I think that was last night.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yeah, I was like I'll be honest in my in my opinion
of today and he had four bigones today he's too good and too
bad, and I was really.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
I loved everything he did, up until um hegseth for
secta tell me why you don't likehim, because I I took a quick
look at his specs, if you will,and he sounded really good to me
on paper.
Why, why are you not loving so?
Speaker 3 (47:06):
uh, so DOD is the biggest enterprise in the
federal government and when Isay it's massive, right, think
of it's not just the Pentagon,it's all four services.
Right, we have their ownservice chiefs and all, but you
have all four services of thebasic services.
Plus you've got Coast Guard andyou've got Space Force and oh,
by the way, the DOD structureitself, which isn't just under
(47:30):
the umbrellas of the services.
It is a massive, massiveorganization.
He has zero experience leadinglarge organizations Zero.
Okay, People are gettingwrapped around.
Well, he was an officer in thearmy.
Okay, he was a major, and hewas in the National Guard.
Oh, by the way, qualifies youfor not that you have to be
military to be the sec def.
In fact, it's not a requirementand I'm okay with somebody not,
(47:52):
but his experience doesn't addanything.
Truthfully, everybody's like oh, he's got combat experience, so
what All of us do?
And oh by the way, all theservice chiefs do and everybody
who works in the Pentagon does,right, I mean, if we're
measuring things on combatexperience, you know General
Petraeus, who a lot of peoplelove me personally, but some
people do he had no combatexperience until he was a two
star general leading the 101stAirborne Division in 2003 in
(48:15):
Iraq.
None, ok, junior officerEisenhower had no combat
experience until he was a fourstar leading all forces in World
War Two.
All right, combat experiencedoes not make you qualified for
a job like that.
Fair, yeah, and truthfully,there's he's.
He's talking about a lot ofthings like he was on the Sean
Ryan show.
He's done a couple ofappearances where he's talking
(48:36):
about a lot of things that needto go away the EI and and all
this woke crap.
And I agree with all of that,right, the problem with the
problem with it is is that DODdoesn't stand alone by itself
and it doesn't just get to makedecisions on its own.
There's the House ArmedServices Committee, the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
The budget is approved byCongress.
The general officer, flagofficer appointments are all
(48:56):
approved by Congress.
He's complaining about generalsbeing politicized inside a DOD.
That's because they're approvedby Congress.
They have to have politicalsupport to progress.
He can't change that and hesays I'm going to get rid of all
those people, then you're goingto get rid of all of them.
He doesn't understand theprocess because he's never
worked in it.
Even as a National Guardofficer, he got activated for a
(49:19):
couple of deployments.
He's never worked in theapparatus, so he's saying things
out loud that he really has noexperience with and they're
blind spots for him, and I thinkit is such a massive
undertaking that he's going tospend a whole year trying to
figure out his job and presidentTrump is not going to be
patient with him for a year.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
No who would you?
Who would do?
You have anybody in mind thatwould be on your short list for
that?
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Yeah, People have asked me that because a lot of
people asked me my opinion aboutHegseth and I.
You know, I know some folkskind of on the fringes of things
, um, that I, I I would name orat least consider, but you know,
that is a there are too manypeople out in the business world
who I think should beconsidered, um, who know and
(50:02):
understand large organizationsand how to run them, and those
kinds of things that I thinkshould be considered.
That I don't know, I wouldnever offer a name because the
pool is too big and I'm justunfamiliar with it.
I do know that Pete Hegseth isnot, in my opinion, qualified to
do that job.
If he's qualified, then I'moverqualified because I got a
lot more experience than he does.
And oh, by the way, I'm notqualified to be the second.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
I was going to say I would nominate you, clay, but I
don't want you to leave my show.
You can't leave our show.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
But I am a fan of Tulsi as the DNI right.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
Love her.
Yes, as the director ofnational intelligence, that's
your girl.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
CIA works for her.
Yeah, the entire intelligenceapparatus works for her.
I think it's great.
I love it.
I'm not a fan of Matt Gaetz asthe attorney general.
That guy's got too much legalstuff in question in his past.
He's got a DUI charge thatlooks like it got covered up.
Even if it didn't, it lookslike it did.
There was a charge of sextrafficking.
That's not the guy that we.
(50:54):
He may not make it throughconfirmation, but I don't think
he's a good candidate.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
So each one, every single one is considered a
nominee right.
Every single one has to gothrough that vetting process.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
Congressional yes, they have to testify in front of
congress and okay, approved.
Um, I do love marco rubio assex state.
Okay, yeah, like that to metoday, as much as I love tulsi
as the dni.
Yeah, sex state.
Like, knocked it out of thepark.
That was the one of the bestpicks that he could make.
Um, you know, we've got uh,christy noem at dhs.
(51:25):
Now that's his name there.
He's got the.
What is it?
Dog, dog, dodge, what is itcalled?
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Yeah, that's Elon and Vivek are going to be heading
the Department of GovernmentEfficiency.
They're going to be cutting outall the fat.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
That's going to be-.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Love it.
Listen, I want the biggestbaddest, meaning best security
detail on these people.
Biggest baddest, meaning bestsecurity detail on these people
I want them to be protected with, like people who are armed to
the teeth.
I want, like I'm so excited andalso scared for these people
because of the amount of peoplethat they are going to be
pissing off.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Like they're going to make it public, so they're
going to post every single daythe things that they like, all
the action that they take'regoing to post every single day
the things that they like.
Action that they take is goingto be for total transparency is
supposed to be posted every day.
Oh, by the way, they're goingto have a tote board, a
scoreboard of the most absurdgovernment overspending, and
they're going to post it all thetime.
Speaker 2 (52:22):
This is like so exciting.
This is literally giving powerback to the people.
Transparency is key, right, andit's so ironic to all you
freaking Froot Loops out therethat keep saying Trump's going
to be a dictator.
Trump is literally giving thepowers back to the states, back
to the people.
Day one before even day one.
(52:42):
Like get it through your thickidiot heads and I'm sorry to be
so aggressively mean about it,but it can't be any more in your
face, like it's so clear what'shappening, what he's doing and
it's what you should want as anAmerican.
Like the number of people thatdon't understand the whole
principle of putting thesepowers back to the states.
(53:02):
One, it's because that's wherethey belonged all along and two,
because your staterepresentatives failed.
They failed to protect thatconstitutional laws and rights
and abilities.
The federal government has beengiven way too many powers, way
too many.
How many freaking departmentscan you have, which is, of
(53:23):
course, is all part of you know?
Yeah, and oh my gosh, you seeheads exploding about his
Department of Educationannouncement.
Speaker 3 (53:30):
I didn't see that.
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (53:31):
Oh, oh, no, oh, he's going to get rid of the
Department of Education.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
Well it's.
It's a beautiful thing because,you know, jimmy Carter started
it in 1976 and we went fromnumber one in the world to 24th
in the world and never made itback.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
So never made it back .
Speaker 3 (53:46):
That is unacceptable, so yeah, yes, you and I talked
about this even before westarted recording with the
exception of RFK right, and wedon't know where RFK is going to
land in this administration.
He is going to get a job, butthis is a young team.
The folks that he is bringingin are young.
There's no 68, 72-year-oldcareer politicians in this
(54:08):
cabinet, in this architecture ofany kind right Again, with RFK
as the exception.
But think about the people wetalked about Rubio Tulsi,
hegseth's young right Gates isyoung.
Kristi Noem's young, vance isyoung.
This is a very young, new ageconservative team that he is
bringing in and he's setting theparty up for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (54:30):
Yes, this is so strategically brilliant and
positive and beneficial for thiscountry.
I think I can speak for so manypeople in this country right
now when I say I'm finallyfeeling hope again, because I
really feared for this countryand I was emotionally and
mentally preparing for it tobecome a lost civilization, like
(54:53):
just to go down the way of theRomans you know into.
We're close, yeah, I mean,we're on the precipice of that
right.
Speaker 3 (55:01):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (55:02):
And I feel like this is our chance, this is our
opportunity to you know, toright the ship and get steering
on the right course again.
And I'm so excited for thefuture and again anxious.
So I know I've said it in pastepisodes, I'm going to say it
again to you guys If you are thepraying kind, prayers up for
that hedge of protection, man,and if you're not the praying
kind, just hope for it.
(55:22):
Hope for it, it all works.
It all works.
Speaker 3 (55:25):
I agree with you.
It all works.
It all works, I agree with you,and I think that the fact that
there has been absolutely zeroviolence in response to the
election is an indicator thatpeople are on board with this.
Yes, that you know.
Listen, some crazy womenshaving their heads.
That's not violence, right?
But what we didn't see was wedidn't see George Floyd riots.
We didn't see, you know, theriots of 2020.
We didn't see any of that stuff.
(55:46):
There was zero violence the dayafter the election.
Now we'll see what happens comeinauguration time, but I think
we're on a positive note, whichwe try to end on a positive note
.
We do.
We do the things that we'vecovered at the end of the show
are all great indicators thatwe're headed in the right
direction, and I'm with you.
I do have a feeling that we areheaded in the right direction
as a nation, not just because ofPresident Trump and the
administration, but because ofeverything surrounding it, and I
(56:08):
think this is a time to feelgood about where we are and
where we're going.
Speaker 2 (56:12):
Yes indeed, Guys.
We love you so much.
We're so appreciative of youjoining us.
Again, thanks a million timesover for joining us in our live
last week.
That was such great fun withyou.
Clay and I talked off air.
We do plan on doing more liveepisodes.
We'll scatter them here andthere in between.
In the meantime, again, we loveto talk with you in the
comments section, and next weekwe will bring you more fun stuff
(56:35):
.
Go ahead, Clay, you close themout.
Speaker 3 (56:37):
As always, folks again.
Live was awesome last week.
We're going to do more of itand I can't wait for that.
That's going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (56:41):
But until then and until next week, from me, me, as
always, keep moving, keepshooting combat veteran, terry
davis traded a life of adventureand violence for the quiet of
the midwest prairie, but when hecatches wind of a potential
terror threat to the country heswore to protect as a young man,
his instincts make itimpossible to stay on the
sidelines, dusting off his yearsof training and experience and
his guts to protect himself, hisloved ones and his nation.
The aging warrior winds up intampa making friends and meeting
(57:04):
enemies along the way, as thethreat slowly takes shape and
reveals itself.
Terry relies on the smarts andskills that kept him alive for
years of combat.
Yet the threat is much biggerthan he realized and he's not
sure if he can trust him.
The one thing he knows for sureis that if he wants to stay
alive, he needs to keep moving,keep shooting.
