Trumpdate: Gaetz and More

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorgie's when we have a number of different stories
that have really nothing in common except for the subject involved.
When that happens, we put all those stories together and
something we call a Trump date. Now talk about Trump,
tu talk about Trump. So here we are in a
Trump date and it starts with Matt Gates. This is

(00:26):
Trump's pick for Attorney General of the United States of America.
You just heard Jim Rose with the Rosie de Genozi
about Gates. I heard Jim throughout the morning, and he's
not not on board with this. Jim has yet to
find anything to be especially contrary about yet this week.

(00:47):
So he was very excited to have that opportunity today,
which is exactly what some of this reaction is. The
media reaction is incredibly predictable, especially since they here's a
story that says we talked to Republicans about what they
think about Matt Gates being Trump's selection to be the

(01:07):
next attorney general. And the first two people that are
quoted here are two people who never vote Republican, not
on any of the big things. Senator Susan Collins of
Maine and Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. These are Democrats.
They get elected as Republicans and then vote like Democrats.

(01:29):
They always have. They've been in the United States Senate
for several terms. They're not maga, they're not trumpy. I
guarantee neither of these individuals voted for Trump last week.
So when they say, well, I was shocked by the nomination,
you're not going to vote for any of his people anyway,
you phonies. Now, somewhere between Trump is my guy and

(01:55):
the two senators I just referenced with being Nebraska's second
district congressman on Bacon, they reached out to him hoping
for a juicy comment. They kind of got one. He
didn't say, I don't have a comment. What Congressman Bacon
said was quote, I've got no good comment, unquote, and

(02:18):
there I mean, some of it was much more blunt.
Here's a congressman that when they said, hey, Trump has
chosen this Florida congressman named Matt Gates as his nomination
for attorney general. This guy said, are you shy nola
ing me? Only he didn't say fudge, so he that

(02:39):
was that reaction. Senator Tommy Tubberville of Alabama said, holy cow.
Senator Joe Mansion said no one could believe it. When
news broke on the floor of the Senate, one lawmaker said, well,
we wanted Gates out of the house, but this isn't
what we were thinking. Now, Why do they hate this
guy because he's Trump? He is a slick haired version

(03:03):
of Trump, younger version of Trump. This guy has been
incredibly trumpy during his time in the House of Representatives.
If you like him, he's like, well, he's in there
trying to shake things up. If you can't stand him,
then you say all the things about him that you
would say about Trump. The funniest thing, though, would be

(03:24):
the comments of people like Jim Rose on kfab's Morning News,
who spend all days saying, and I don't fault Jim,
who suddenly just wandered back in from the cold into
the studio, Jim, I don't fault you for saying that
the nation's attorney general should be a rather sober thinking

(03:44):
individual concerned about law first and politics second. But what
in the world makes you think that any of the
recent attorney's general have not been political? They just have
managed to cover it better than other people. You think
that Merrick Garland or Loretta Lynch on them. Weren't political.
They just they just don't have the flamethrower out that

(04:07):
what dates does. I wouldn't have liked them, Okay, all right,
so yeah, good point. So this is the fighting fire
with fire, though, and Gates has been through the ring
or the same thing, the same way Trump has, especially
since a lot of these news stories say, well, Trump
has chosen Gates to be his nominee for Attorney general.
Gates has just been through a federal investigation involving, you know,

(04:31):
some abuse of children. Never mind the fact all of
that has been thrown out. He's never been charged with anything. Therefore,
he's never been found guilty of anything. This is absolute nonsense.
And the media says, well, you know he's got this
dog investigation that it is over, So why why can't

(04:51):
Matt Gates be the next attorney general? If this is
the man who the American people elected to serve this country,
he gets to choose whoever he wants.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I would offer to you that all of those things
combined are a bigger issue than just one off here
and there. You know, you can you can say, hey,
that investigation was dropped, Okay, Well there had to be
something there to cause the investigation sometimes the fact that
they hate him. No, I don't think that's the only reason.
You can't just hate somebody and launch an investigation.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
You got how you can ask Trump whether you can
hate someone at lunch. I'm not investigation.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I'm not defending the United States Department of Justice under
this current president or the Department of Justice under Barack Obama,
where he weaponized the IRS against people. Yeah, I'm sure
Nixon did the same thing. A lot of them do that.
I'm just saying some of his other behaviors. You say
things and you do things that say I'm a provocateur. First,

(05:47):
My job is to mix things up.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
First.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm into being a disruptor, but you can't be constantly disruptive,
and that's what he is for this job. As I've
said now five six times, there is a play and
should be a place for a Matt Gates in Trump's
administration that is impactful politically. I don't believe that the
Department of Justice is it. Trump has had problems with

(06:12):
former ags under him. Jeff Sessions comes to mind, so
he needs someone that he feels like he can trust.
And let's also be very very transparent about this. Was
there anyone from Matt Gates to Mother Teresa that Donald
Trump could have chosen to be his ag and the

(06:32):
regular people who can't stand and would say it's a
terrible pick and Dray.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Gouty, which is an example Trey Gouty. Yeah, maybe, but
Trey Gouty didn't get the nod.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
With trag GOUTI was he asked, Trey Gotty would be
somebody I think you could make a strong case to
be an outstanding attorney general. He believes in the rule
of law. He has great fidelity to the Constitution. But
he's not out there saying things like anybody who attends
a pro choice rally is ugly. That's not something Tray
Couty does, and that's not something that the Attorney General
of the United States should be doing, because that makes

(07:03):
people wonder if they have confidence in his ability to
actually follow the law.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, these people who are asking those questions don't like
Trump to begin with. And there was no one that
Trump could have chosen that he felt would help him
with this whole plan and agendas in front of him
that those people would have been happy about. Now, maybe
you would have been a little happier with Trey Gowdy.
I'd be happier with Treg gowdes I think it's interesting
that all of Trump's picture coming from Florida and Fox News.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
And the Republican House of Representatives.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Right, well, DeSantis is going to be busy. He's got
a lot of people to replace. Oh, by the way,
Ted Cruz, I think would have made a great attorney general.
I floated the idea the other day on Twitter X
that let's see here, Marco Rubio is leaving the Senate
to be Secretary of State Governor. DeSantis has to find

(07:54):
someone to a point to fill out the rest of
Rubio's term. Ben Sass lives in Florida. Now, I I
don't know if I'm allowed to reveal private text messages,
but Ben Sass and I discussed the possibility, and to
put it mildly, Ben Sass suggested I was day drinking.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, I don't see Ben Sas returning to the United
States Senate from Florida. Hey, a girl can dream, right,
here's a guy who there's a guy who left a
trail of baggage, which Twitter didn't like. My my, my
suggestion that perhaps Ben Sask returned to the Senate this

(08:34):
time as a senator from Florida, Ida idea. So thank
you very much, Jim Rose. I will will post the
rosie to Genozi here in a little bit on kfab
dot com. So the as Jim just said there, I'm
not defending the Department of Justice. Well, they got busy yesterday.
We're still in a Trump date. They had another raid.

(08:56):
It's been a while since they've done a trumpy raid.
Who did they target this time? I'll tell you next
Scott Boorhees News Radio eleven to ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
First, let's go to the Zonker's custom woods inbox on
the subject. We just discussed this to Matt Gates being
the Trump pick for Attorney General. I like this email
from Jim. It says just throwing this out there. Maybe
Trump is putting Gates's name out there to take the
heat off his other pick. As other picks, everyone will

(09:27):
focus on this and not on Pete Hegseith or Tulsey Gabbard.
Gates could be the red herring. Perhaps now Gates resigning
takes away from this, but maybe it's a distraction. Yeah. Well,
if Matt Gates wanted to leave the house, this is
the way he's done. It because he has stepped down
in the wake of this nomination. Regarding Jim Rose, saying

(09:50):
that Gates is a bad pick, this email from Paul
says Jim Rose is the ultimate squishy rhino. The DOJ
needs to be fixed. And he says, when you take
a shot at the king, you better not miss. Well,
they missed, and it's time to fix this mess. That's Paul,
and Richard says, isn't it a little funny the most

(10:12):
bureaucracy of bureaucrats are the most bureaucraty of bureaucrats are
railing against Gates. Doesn't that make him the best option?
The same people that are against Gates are the same
people that will cry that nothing ever changes in Washington.
That's from Richard. Ryan says, it's time for retribution and payback.

(10:33):
I want to see some serious investigations into inappropriate activities
by all the ags about frivolous charges. The weaponization of
the judicial system is the most important thing to having
a free and just nation, and for that we need
no milk toast ag. Interesting that as Trump made the

(10:53):
pick here to shake up the Justice Department, the Justice
Department realizing hey, we're down to just weeks we've got
to go went into the Manhattan residence of Shane Copland.
Any idea, Lucy, who's Shane Copland or Copeland? I think
it's Copland.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
No, I don't. But well when you say idea, I
have an idea.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
He is the young twenty six years old CEO of
poly Market. This is a betting market where I think,
and I don't know. I don't mess with any of
the any of this stuff. But we talked about this
before the election, that suddenly a whole lot of money

(11:41):
was infused into a betting market called poly Market, betting
on Trump to win the presidency. And people were saying, like,
this seems like it's coming from a few different brand
new accounts that all kind of seem to have the
same route, Like who's doing this? Who's throwing off the
betting market? Now does the betting market have anything to

(12:05):
do with anything? It doesn't influence the election, right, people
are free in this instance to bend on whatever they
want however they want, And.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
I don't think it directly influences it, but it could
sure psychologically influence it.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well, if that's what they were hoping to do, then
it worked for Trump. And it's the same as just
buying a bunch of ads. I guess there's nothing illegal
about any of this, but it drew attention for correctly
predicting a win by Donald Trump when all the experts
were saying Trump's not going to win this and even
if he does manage to squeak it out, it's not

(12:40):
going to be an overwhelming majority in the electoral College,
and he's certainly not going to win the popular vote. Well,
all these so called experts were dead wrong. Polymarket was right.
So early yesterday the FBI rated the Manhattan residents of
Shane Coplan for what CEO a poly market. The Wall

(13:02):
Street Journal says they don't know what prompted the raid.
They wanted he's got a good lawyer, they wanted, I'm
sure he does, he's a bazillionaire. They wanted his phone
and computer and any other electric electronic devices. If he's
got a massager or something, a toaster, whatever you have,
We want all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
But a judge would have had to have signed off
on a warrant for that.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah. This this, well, the Attorney General, Mary Garland would
have had to This comes from the Justice Department. This
is what according to an anonymous source that told Bloomberg News,
poly Market is the subject of a Justice Department investigation
for allegedly accepting trades from these betters in the US

(13:47):
who haven't been permitted to use poly Market after trading
was paused in twenty twenty two. So I don't have
any idea what that means.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Apparently some people when he wasn't supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
No, he was accepting bets from people who weren't allowed
to do that. And again I don't know. I've never
heard that you could get benched from betting. I know
several wives have done that to the Okay, true, I
have heard that. Now. The first response yesterday from this guy,

(14:23):
Shane Complan Copland was a joke. He went on Twitter,
and you know, it was like the Justice Department rating
his house and he just said new phone, who dis
So he apparently was taking it pretty seriously. But then
late yesterday had a follow up said it's discouraging that
the current administration would seek a last ditch effort to

(14:46):
go after companies they seem to be associated with, companies
they deemed to be associated with political opponents. We are
deeply committed to being nonpartisan and today is no different.
So what he's saying is the Biden administration and their
Department of Justice thinks that somehow Trump was working with
this group Polymarket, to influence the markets to say, hey,

(15:11):
the American people think Trump's gonna win, and that got
a news bump, and then Trump had the audacity to win,
which he wasn't supposed to do in the eyes of
the Biden administration and the Department of Justice. And so
therefore we're gonna find out if there was anything funny
going on. And what does that mean If they can
find anything that they think they can either they can't

(15:35):
press charges against Trump, but they can try and make
life miserable for any of his people. But no one,
even the Wall Street journal is looking at this going
we don't have any idea what this is for. We
don't know what crime could possibly have been committed here,
which has never stopped them before, which makes it even

(15:56):
more interesting that Trump has chosen Matt Gates to be
his attorney general. Pick one more here in the Trump date.
I think Trump joked the other day that he was
up on Capitol Hill he met with President Biden. That
went really well. Biden didn't try and punch him out

(16:18):
or try to challenge him to a push up contest
or anything like that. He didn't call him a dogface
pony soldier. So they were smiling and shaking hands and
had nice things to say. Did Trump say yesterday or
this was just conversation on the Clay and Buck Show.
Did Trump say that he might pardon Hunter Biden?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Because he should. If Joe doesn't do it, someone should.
One of these guys should pardon Hunter Biden. Joe should
because it's his son.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
And Trump should because Trump should.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Because it would it's a good look. Now, it's not
gonna win over the people already hate him. He doesn't
need a good look. He just won the election. But
I think people would be like, yeah, you know, it's
the guy's son.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
He Trump knows more about what's going on with Hunter
than any of the rest of us. Maybe some other
politicians in Washington know the full story, And I don't
think that he could. If even half of the stuff
that we understand to be true about Hunter, even half
of it is.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Well, he would pardon him on the gun charges.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
All right.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
This has nothing to do with any money for the
big man or working with Russia and China. Okay, So therefore,
if any of that comes out, and Matt Gates seems
to be a guy that would you find the time
to see if some of that could come out, then
Trump could say like, look, I didn't want to do
any of this. I'm the one who pardoned the guy's

(17:52):
son as a show a gesture of goodwill. So that's
that might be in play. So Trump went up there
and met with President Biden, then talked with House Republicans,
and he joked that maybe he would run for a
third term. Now, the constitution says that you can only

(18:12):
serve two terms. They don't have to be consecutive. So
according to the constitution, Trump can't try and get another
term in office. But that has not stopped New York
Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman, who says, I will be introducing
a resolution first thing this morning to deny Trump the

(18:38):
ability to run for another term in the White.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
House, meaning this one, yes that he is just about
to start, not the next one.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
No, the next one. Trump can only serve two terms
in office, right, so this term coming up here is
within constitutional bones. Trump was joking that he would run
again to serve what would be a third term. It's joking.
Of course, he got a house. You got a laugh

(19:06):
from the house, and.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Uh now somebody's actually going to.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Uh this guy, Congressman Goldman in New York says not funny.
And so he's introducing a resolution that just basically basically,
the resolution says, I hereby declare that today is Thursday.
Everyone says, let me check, Yep, today is Thursday. Well
darn right it is. And just because Trump says today's

(19:33):
Thursday doesn't mean it's Thursday. But we still want to
let everyone know it's Thursday. And Trump better agree with that.
This is the dumbest thing. And this is within the
first just like a week and a half since Trump
was reelected. We got four years to go. But as
far as today goes, that wraps up. So get out

(19:54):
to set our Trump date. Trooble around, trooble round, trumble round,
Trump up Trump, bump and get down Trump Trump. Scott
