Speaker 1 (00:11):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Let's have some fun on a Thursday.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
The week is almost over, and it Jess keeps getting
better and better.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't even want to get off the air because
who knows what's gonna drop next.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
In case you're just now joining us, AREFK tapped earlier
today to be the new head of HHS. We will
talk about that. We're first gonna talk about the Overton Window.
We're gonna talk about the evils of what the Biden
administration actually did, because we can't forget that there are
a lot of people who are very angry about these appointments.

(00:55):
We're gonna get to a bunch of emails. The world
is already a safer play, the economy may not be
all that, and so much more coming up tonight on
the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. I want to begin
actually with this email because this will come back to
the RFK Junior and Tulsea Gabbart and Matt Gates and
Pete hak Seth and the coming administration and Jesse you've

(01:19):
mentioned several times the Overton Window always moves left. With
the huge red election sweep and now Trump's cabinet picks,
is it possible the window will actually move to the right?
For once says his name is Spencer. He goes on
to talk about how his wife made some insulting remarks

(01:39):
about my forehead and my hands. But anyway, let's talk
about that, the Overton window, how it's only moved left,
and do we have an opportunity here to move it right.
Let's cover this again really quickly for those who may
have missed it last time we talked about it, the
Overton window, not getting break down who Overton was, or
really all the nerdy stuff about it. But here's what

(02:00):
we need to understand. Culturally, as a country, we have
only moved left incrementally over time. Sometimes it's really fast,
sometimes it's slow, but only left. That is the only
direction we've moved. Why, well, let's think about things, you

(02:23):
know what, Let's focus on Democrats for a moment. Democrats,
when Barack Obama was running for president, Barack Obama, that's
not ancient history.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's eight When Barack Obama.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Was running for president, Barack Obama was vocally on camera
against gay marriage. Nope, don't like it. This is not
ancient histories. Fifteen years ago, you ever take against gay marriage. Today,
every single Democrat has a tranny flag.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Everything.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Every single Democrat top to bottom will tell you that
you can chop your penis off and become a woman.
Fifteen years ago, the most popular Democrat president was against
gay marriage. Fifteen years later, everyone can chop their penises
off and become women. How does that happen? How can

(03:18):
you radically shift on something that quickly? Well, you shift
a culture, You shift that Overton window by breaking down
existing barriers that are there in ways that are completely
uncomfortable and radically change the norm. So, if you want

(03:39):
to move a culture in your direction, and let's say
it's culturally left, like we just talked about, if you
want to move a culture that way, you don't try
to do it politely. This is what the communists have
always understood. You don't do it politely. You can't do
it within a box. In fact, you have to take extreme, uncomfortable,
oftentimes rude stances, and in the end, the culture itself

(04:06):
will move your way, oftentimes just to get you to
shut up. I've used this as an example before, I'm
gonna use it again because it is so applicable. To
what we're talking about here. You ever been out to eat.
We're in a store anywhere, Walmart, wherever, and there's a
couple and they're arguing and she starts getting loud louder

(04:31):
and louder and louder, and now people are starting to look.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
And I saw you look at Tana that way.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
And it's and you can you can see the visible
discomfort on his face. You can see it. He wants
to die in that moment, and he's trying to Usually
he's trying to calm it down. It okay, just people
are listening, but you can actually see his will. Oftentimes
you can see his will break down in real time.

(04:59):
He'll start giving her things just to make the noise stop. Okay,
but okay, honey, I am sorry. I shouldn't have talked
to Tina. Okay, you're right, you are right. And you
can almost see him practically patting her head like a dog.
It's okay, here's okay, calm down, ok please stop embarrassing me.
That is what the rabid communist left, especially the street

(05:23):
animal types. That's what they actually accomplish when they do
all the various things they do. We look at the
crazy things they do, and we say, there is no point.
Why are you gluing yourself to the road for climate change?
That didn't convince anyone. Why are you your gay Pride
parade dancing around and shaking your penis in the face

(05:43):
of children. All that does is turn people against you.
Why are you doing this? Why are you doing that?
Why did you set up an abortion clinic at the
Democrat convention? That just makes you look extreme to us.
The actions they take look extreme, but there is a
perpose to it. When you take these extreme, crazy in

(06:04):
your face positions, you will find the culture, the country
itself kind of break down and become that guy of well, no,
I mean I didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't necessarily believe in that the trans stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
But no, no, okay, yeah, you're right. I don't want
to be hateful.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, okay, you're right, you're right. Right, don't don't yell,
let me, don't, don't fire me, don't don't accuse me
of things on social media. I'm sorry, you're right. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Just do what you do, and it doesn't just work
on the left, as they break down the barriers of
the country. As they break down the fences that keep
the country from going left, the Republican Party moves right

(06:44):
there with them. I'll use I'll use an example that'll
probably make everyone mad, but it's it's a very good
example for what we're talking about. So save your offense.
I don't care if you're offended. Let's use the pro
life example. The left for years forever, when Rod versus
Way got put in, they would go with safe legal
and rare, safe legal. That was their position, safe legal

(07:06):
and rare, safe legal and rare, safe legal and rare.
The Republican position was pro life, pro life, pro life.
That those were the two positions forever. And then the
communists figured out, wait a minute, save legal and rare.
Who goes a crap about this, Let's slaughter these friggin things,
And so they started bragging about it. Soon safe legal
and rare turned into a pro abortion protest, with women

(07:27):
wearing shirts bragging about how many babies they've killed.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well, that's not safe, legal and rare. Why are they
doing this? They look crazy?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well enough of that, enough of this, enough cultural influence.
Soon you have shattered that fence that was keeping your
culture where it needs. Now you have legions, legions of
women who believe abortion is the most important issue in
the country. How did that happen? They broke down the fences.

(07:55):
They took extreme stances, stances that weren't popular at the time.
You cannot break down fences by taking a popular position.
Remember that they broke down fences that weren't popular at
the time, shattered through them. And what happened in response
to that? As the culture moved that way, as that
fence got broken down, the GOP feeling like it was

(08:16):
losing the culture war, feeling like it had lost on
that issue. The GOP said, ah, you know what, just
take pro life out of the platform. Hey, you know,
in fact, you know what, we're not even that pro life.
It's back in the States that I don't even really care.
You can agree or disagree with that. That's not what
I'm talking about. Look what happened? Which direction did the

(08:37):
Overton windows shift? It used to be safe, legal, and
rare for them and pro life at all times for us.
Now for them it's kill them all and let God
sort them out. And for us it's well, I mean,
I don't want to get into that and you just
make your own call at the state's aside. That's a
leftward shift. That's shifting the window. Props to them, Props

(08:57):
to the demons for getting it done. That shifting the
window your direction by taking extreme positions that are not popular,
that do not fall within the fence line of what
the culture currently considers acceptable. Remember that about the Overton

(09:18):
window as we go into what Trump is doing right now,
what the incoming administration is doing. As far as shifting
it the other way, this is one of those things
that polite people will have a harder time with. It's
easier for communist street animals because most of them are demonic.
It's easy for them to blow through the norms of
society because they're trying to destroy society itself. For you,

(09:41):
a polite, normal human being, breaking down fences, stepping on toes,
offending people, maybe even taking a position that is.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
A little too extreme.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
These are things that make you uncomfortable because you are
a good citizen, good person, and it's harder to convince
a good, stable, normal human being to go kick down
a fence and destroy something. That's really what moving the
window involves. It involves destroying things you're destroying cultural norms,
you're destroying fences. You're making people feel icky and ooh,

(10:18):
I don't like that. The communist he has no such shame,
so it's easy for him. It's been very easy over
the years. Our shame in that has held us back.
So let's discuss this RFK pick. Shoot, let's talk some
more about Gates Gabbard. Where we're going from here. Do
we have an opportunity to turn that around? Let's dig

(10:40):
into that. Before we do that, let's do a quick
email here. Dear Papa Cream, I told you I didn't
like that nickname. I said, I didn't like it. I
was interested in learning more about GALVEX since hearing about
it on the show. In addition to military and first
responders pay attention to this, they also provide membership for
medical personnel, government workers, and teachers. I was able to

(11:03):
get a gov X membership as a medical professional and
now I get all those sick deals on the site.
Thank you for the heads up. Appreciate you and your show.
If you read this, you can say my name and
also I request the Freedo bandido. His name is Taylor. Taylor,
You're gonna have to wait on the free doo Bandido
for a second. But yes, medical professionals too, and your families.
Did you serve military first responder? Medical teachers and your families?

We'll be back. Truth attitude, Jesse Kelly. It is the
Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
And I would be an idiot.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
If I didn't let you know right now that tomorrow
is an ask doctor Jesse Friday. I realize we have
a bunch of new listeners. Actually had a meeting with
some suits this morning, some iHeart premiere suits, and the
show is going gangbusters, absolutely gangbusters, which is unbelievable considering
our lack of maturity. Anyway, for you new listeners on Fridays,

(12:32):
we do it really different on this show all three
hours on Friday. I answer questions. It's asked me anything.
It doesn't have to be political, it doesn't matter what
it is. Whatever you email in email right now, they
all get saved. Chris is already banking them. Jesse at
jesse kellyshow dot com. Email in your question or you

(12:53):
can leave us a voicemail eight seven seven three seven
seven four three seven three before I get back to
the Overton window. I forgot. I owed that last guy
something that I think we all we all need right now.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
A yay yai yai.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
I am the Fritto bundito. Yagy I like Rinto stornchips.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I love them.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
I do.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
I want Brinto scornchits. I'll get them from you.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
I yi yai yi oh.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
I am the Fritto Buntito. Give me Brito scornchips and
I'll be your friends, the Fritto Buntito. You must not
up in munch, munch, munch, a bunch of pritos.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Now to the question, do we have a chance with
this Trump administration coming in and the people he's putting
into place, do we have a chance to shift the
Overton window for the first time back our way. I
believe we do. I believe we do. But there is

(14:00):
something that will prevent that if we allow it. You
see right now we have with the RFK pick, with
the Gates pick, with the hag Seth pick, Tulsea Gabbard pick.
What we have is people, if they get through the
confirmation process, who will take over departments and they will

(14:22):
view their role as taking apart that department, reforming it,
ripping it up, cleaning out. The corruption word came out
today when that RFK Junior news came down that people
were already people in the government were already threatening to quit.
These people who are taking over hag Seth, Pete hag

(14:44):
Seth taking over a sec death. He's already said as much.
It's not only going to be about securing America. Of course,
that's priority one. He wants to clean up the military
that's looking inward. Matt Gates has railed endlessly against the
DOJ and the corruption inside of it. Matt Caates is

(15:05):
going to look inward. Tulca Gabbard takes over as Director
of National Intelligence, and I have many problems with Tulca Gabbard,
but she thinks the intelligence agencies of this country are
way out of control and that they attacked her politically
and she's correct about both those things. She's looking inward.
RFK Junior taking over HHS. He's looking inward. We have

(15:28):
people getting in there who are not looking outward, not
looking for ways they can rule over us, not looking
for ways they can attack us. They are looking to
change the way things go. All this is good. The
problem is going to be Washington, d C. They are
going to want things to continue exactly as they always have.

(15:52):
And the second problem is this, we are facing two
problems when it comes to moving this Overton window and
getting these reforms done. The first Washington DC, it'll be
the media, it'll be every Democrat, it'll be half the Republicans,
it'll be we are going to have to fight against
that deep state swamp. Whatever you want to put whatever
way you want to put it. That's going to be
a problem. The second thing we are going to have

(16:13):
to fight is you and me, us, us normal people.
We are going to have to fight the urge to
be normal. We we have always we have always sold
ourselves pretty accurately as being the adults in the room.

(16:33):
You know. Of course, democrats take over, they destroy as
much as they can possibly destroy. We come in after
Democrats are done carving the country up, and we try
to sweep some things up, and we try to get
things cleaned up. We're the adults in the room. They're
the crazy children. We're the adults in the room. Where
the adults. And we have to stop looking at ourselves
as being these stately gentlemen who are going to do

(16:57):
things the right way. That's gonna kill us. It is,
it's gonna kill us. Whatever you're looking at a reformer,
maybe when you disagree with like, you know, let's talk
Taulsi Gabbard. We did a long talk about Gates last night.
Let's talk Tulsi Gabbert. Tauci Gabbard has sounded amazing the

(17:18):
past few years. She has sounded much more like a
freedom lover than she ever has before. But her resume
before that, especially during her time in Congress, was awful,
not at all aligned with me and my values or
you or your values. She was a big greenee, she
was a big gun grabber. She was all those things.

(17:38):
And when you see when I see Taulca Gabbard stepping
into a critical role like Director of National Intelligence, I
can be and I was and am, and maybe you
are too tempted to say something like, oh gosh, she's
a freaking democrat. I don't even know. Maybe she will
get in there and do some democrat things, But the

(18:00):
most important thing is she's taking over and she's looking
to clean out corruption inward. That is the most important thing.
So I'm going to set aside my discomfort with having
a recent democrat in there. I'm going to take her
at her word. She's been a vocal freedom fighter for
a couple years, and we will see how it goes.

(18:24):
I stand firmly behind Tulsi Gabberd firmly speaking of which
male vitality stacks and testosterone are critically critically important. Do
you stand firmly behind Tulsi Gabbard. Maybe it's time to
up your te levels. A twenty percent increase in your

(18:45):
testosterone in ninety days is waiting there for you. Gentlemen
with natural herbal supplements. Stop ignoring the fact you're sad
all the time. You're out of energy. There's a for it,

Speaker 2 (19:42):
The Jesse Kelly Show.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Thursday. Remember,
if you've missed any part of the show, you can
download the whole thing on iHeart, on Spotify, on iTunes.
I'll get to a bunch of the appointment news and
some sound and stuff like that. Here in just a moment,
I do want to say, Look, I am thrilled, thrilled

(20:05):
about the latest news today that RFK Junior has been
tapped to take over HHS URFK Junior has said he's
going in to clean out corruption, he's going in to
fire people, he's going in to make America healthy again,
get a lot of this poison out of our food.
I like a lot of that. I however, have to

(20:25):
caution everybody. I have a major, major, major concern with
RFK and some of the cuts he may be making.
And this is something maybe we need to email somebody,
maybe we just need to pray about it. But I
have a huge concern. Not everything these organizations do is bad.

(20:46):
For instance, the National Institute of Health, they spent over
three million dollars to watch hamster's fight on steroids. They
put a bunch of steroids and hamsters and then they
watch them duke it out. And that's freaking awesome. And

(21:09):
I'm thrilled. I am thrilled that we are going to
be cleaning up the food and hopefully we're going to
be tacking the big pharma stuff. I'm firmly behind RFK
Junior on that if he needs any help, I can't
imagine why he would need my help. That's fine. We
have to continue the hamster fights. Uh and how are

(21:30):
these not televised? What we're missing? You want to solve
the deficit problem? Why am I the one that asked
to think of these things? It's called pay per view.
I want to see the most juiced up hamster you've
ever seen in your life. I want the berry bonds
of hamsters. I want them going to I wanted to
look like a couple of gorillas in there. What Chris,

(21:55):
This is not revenge because I got bit once and anyway,
I didn't get bit by a hamster. For your information,
I got bit a couple different times. First time, well,
I've been attacked by several wild animals. It really that's
what happens when you grow up like white trash like
I did. For instance, you want to hear the most
white trash story in the world. You probably can't see

(22:15):
on the simulcast, although you may because it's a little
bit pronounced if you're watching on the simulcast. Remember they
simulcast the radio show on the first TV. You see
this knuckle right here. See, I have some scars on
my knuckles. Some of them are from hitting people in
the face. Some of them are from splitting firewood. I
used to cut up my knuckles all the time doing that.
But this one right here, I don't know if you

(22:36):
can see it. I have this scar on my finger.
When I was little, really really little, I'm talking five
six years old, we had ferrets in our backyard. We
had a cage. I have no earthly idea, why we
purchased these ferrets, what the purpose of it was. It's
not like they were cuddly little things. But we had

(22:59):
ferrets in our house, and we had this big, big
cage for them out in the backyard. That's where the
ferrets were. And I was doing something. Look it's me.
I'm sure I was being annoying on purpose. I had
my finger stuck in the cage. I was probably maybe
I could just see young Jesse being super annoying about
the whole thing. And one of the ferrets unleashed on
me and grabbed a hold of my finger and started

(23:20):
tearing my finger to bits. I start screaming, bloody murder.
My old man, my dad was huge. It was a
big dude. He was six four six five two point
fifty and an athlete like he was. It was just
his football basketball player, who's big nasty. He hears me screaming,
and my old man comes running out back and he

(23:41):
runs back to the cage. Get this. It's one of
these cages made of steel wire, right, so it's got
these steel wires on it, and the ferrets got my
finger on it. The old man cocks back his fist
and punches the freaking ferret through the cage. Boom fist
right through the cage and the ferret goes sprawling back
across the back.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
How sick is that? Dad?

Speaker 1 (24:04):
If you're watch me from heaven, thanks appreciate you. That's
one time. The other time I was attacked by the
guinea pigs. Praise god they weren't on steroids. I might
not be here today. The other time was when Auv
and me we got married and we decided we wanted
some pets, but we didn't want to deal with dogs
or cats or anything like. I would never live with
a cat, so we didn't want a dog. Yet. We

(24:25):
decided to get the most low maintenance pets ever, and
we got a couple of guinea pigs. I've told you
this story before, so I'm not going to go into
the whole thing. But she would always want to take
them out. Hey, should we take them out? Let's take
them out and then snuggle with him and take them out.
You know women are let's take them out. Let's take
them out. So we would take them out and they
would bite us. They're they're not very nice. You'd be

(24:45):
sitting there and this little fur ball would be there
and it would bite you. You know what, Chris, we
could go find those guinea pigs and put don't shake
your head, Chris, we could find those guinea pigs and
put them in the hamster fights. They could be listen, no, listen.
It can be like a like a lower end warm

(25:06):
up fight, like the WNBA or something like that. It's
not really the same sport as steroid hamster taking on
steroid hamster. Frankly, it doesn't look anything like it. It's
a little bit embarrassing. But guinea pig on guinea pig.
Maybe give him a little shot of juice. I think
this is good. I don't know why you're shaking your

(25:28):
head anyway. So I'm excited about RFK. I will stand
firmly against any cuts to steroid hamster fights. In fact,
I would like to purchase those on pay per view.
Now to Matt Gates's resignation letter, which was read on
the floor of the House today, you see Gates resigned.
You want to talk about just removing any parachutes. He's

(25:52):
all in now.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Being honoraful to speak our House of Representative, Sir, I
hear By resign as a United States representative.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Poor Floridas is not Matt Gates. Don't send him Chuck.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
First Congressional District defective immediately, and I do not intend
to take the oath of office for the same office
in the one hundred and nineteenth Congress to pursue the
precision of Attorney General in the Trump administration. Signed, Sincerely,
Matt Gates, Member of Congress.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
Hunder Claus five D of Rule twenty. The Chair announces
to the House that, in light of the resignation of
the gentleman from Florida, mister Gates, the whole number of
the House is four hundred and thirty three.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Okay Johnson, Mike Johnson, who's coming back as Speaker of
the House. I know, I know you're mad. I'm not
thrilled either. We were never going to get a different one. Okay.
We can only win so many battles. This was one
we were not going to win. I talked to a

(26:51):
couple of my friends in the House of Representatives. They're
the most hardcore guys. I talked to a couple of
my friends in there, and they they told me, Jesse,
it was only are going to go one way. So
it's going to be Mike Johnson again. Let's hope. I'd
like to say, hope is not a plan, and it's not.
But let's hope we get a better, sturdier, maybe version

(27:16):
of Mike Johnson than the one we've had, because the
one we've had has just been so so bad and weak.
But anyway, Johnson was asked about Gate's resigning here.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
With he issued his resignation letter effective immediately of Congress.
That caught us by surprise a little bit, But I
asked him what the reasoning was, and he said, well,
you can't have too many absences. So under Florida state law,
there's about an eight week period to select and fill
in a vacancy. And so by doing so today that

(27:47):
allows me I've already placed to call to Governor DeSantis
in Florida and said, let's start the clock. He's in
Italy at the moment, and so we're going to talk
first thing in the morning about this. And if we
start the clock now, if you do the math, we
may be able to fill that seat as early as
January third, when we take the new oath of office
for the new Congress. So Matt would have done us
a great service by making that decision as he did

(28:10):
on a fly and so we're grateful for that.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
That sounds pretty good, doesn't It sounds like Matt Gates
is interested in preserving that seat for the majority. And
Ron DeSantis is as ruthlessly efficient as any Republican governor
I've ever seen in my life. He will make sure
it is done. He'll make sure it's done right. He
has a couple big shoes to fill because he also
has to put in a United States Senator. Remember, Marco

(28:36):
Rubio in Florida is leaving to be Secretary of State.
So there's all that. Now, I will say one more
thing about Matt Gates, because we're gonna we're going to
talk about some of the reaction to Gates here in
a moment before we do emails and other things, I
will tell you I had somebody, I cannot name him,
somebody email me who told me Gates was the only

(28:58):
member of Congress who reached out to him privately when
he was going through hell, just to check on him
and help. It was pretty cool. It was pretty cool.
So anyway, there's that. Let's talk some more about the reaction. Next.
Jesse Kelly returns. Next it is the Jesse Kelly Show

(29:19):
on a Friday. I can't even believe that was a song.
And I can't even believe that I don't hate it
as much as I feel like I should hate it.
The bird is the word, Chris, well done, well done.
Look I love the Beatles as much as the next man. Anyway,
Remember tomorrow is an ask doctor Jesse Friday, and you
need to get your questions emailed in now to Jesse
at jessekellyshow dot com. Now I got a million Gates

(29:44):
emails from yesterday. Is he gonna get confirmed? I love it,
I hate it, and I get all that. And yes,
I heard what Kevin McCarthy said today.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Choices are very good except one. Look, Gates won't get confirmed.
Everybody knows that.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
You say Gates will not be confound. Why bother with
the nomination?

Speaker 5 (30:02):
Then well you can talk to present. But it's it's
a good it's read it. It's a good deflection from others.
But it also gives I'll let us stand with that.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Okay, So let's talk about this. Is it going to
get confirmed or not? I don't know. I don't know.
There are some senators who have already flaked Murkowski, Collins,
the standard GOP flimsy ones. You had John Cornan come
out today surprise surprise loser. Cornan said, this let me
issue of vetting, though, how critical is it it to

(30:32):
have access to what the House Ethics Committee has found
in their investigation. I think there should not be any
limitation on the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation, including whatever the
House Ethics Committee is generated. Absolutely, okay, Fetterman. Fetterman came
out and said it was just a troll.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
I would describe it as god tier level trolley to
just trigger a full on China syndrome, to own the
lives in perpetuity.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Okay, Well, let's discuss a couple things it might be. First,
let's discuss this scenario. This is not my theory. I
need to be clear. I first heard this from my
buddy Sean Davis, and I don't know whether he heard
it from someone else. I just want to make sure
he gets credit. I do not. The theory is this

(31:26):
Gates comes from Florida. What else has to be appointed
from Florida? A United States Senator? There's a vacant Senate
seat from Florida because Rubio's leaving, you put up Matt
Gates in the confirmation process, and you dare the United

(31:47):
States Senators to reject his confirmation as Attorney General under
threat that if they do, you will make him a
United States senator, so he can be a colleague of
theirs after they reject him. It can be a way
to essentially force their hand. Another thing that you can

(32:10):
probably almost bank on this recess appointments, meaning you can
put someone in the job because they're in recess, and
then eventually they'll have to go through the confirmation process,
but until that time, they're doing the job. Maybe they
just cram him in there in recess. Let him blow
up as much of the dojy as he can while

(32:31):
he can, and then maybe he gets through, maybe he doesn't.
Maybe he's done a bunch of work. And to what
Kevin McCarthy just said, don't be angry with him. I
mean you can be angry with him. I don't really
care about him. But there may be something to this
as well.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Essus are very good except one look, Gates won't get confirmed.
Everybody knows that.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
You say Gates will not be confirmed, why bother with
the nomination?

Speaker 5 (32:53):
Then well you can talk to present. But it's a
good it's it's a good deflection from others, but it
also gives I'll let us stand with that.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
It's a good deflection. Let's talk about negotiation tactics, something
Donald Trump obviously knows a lot about because of his
career in business. This is something he did very well
during his first presidency, negotiating deals internationally, domestically. He was
really really good at this. He's someone who understands negotiation.

(33:26):
Throw a bunch of things at them they don't want,
and then you pull out the shiniest of shiny objects
that is the most repugnant to them. And what does
that shiny object, what does the Gates object to? Well,
let me ask you. Let me ask you honestly. In

(33:47):
the last twenty four hours, we have all these different
there's heg Seth and Gabbard and now RFK. Last twenty
four hours, with all these important picks, what's the name
you've heard the most by mile by a mile. What's
the biggest story out there right now? It's Matt Gates

(34:08):
Attorney general. What if he is almost a sacrificial lamb,
a bullet sponge, if you will, for lack of a
better term, you have heg Seth. They don't want heg Seth.
Either they don't want Tulca Gabbard, They're scared of all
these picks. They don't want Rfk, they don't want this.
But you are essentially daring the United States Senate to

(34:31):
shoot down.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
All of the picks of the.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Incoming GOP president.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
They would never do that.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Even if you argue the United States Senate will reject one,
and they might. I could see them rejecting Gates. I
could see it. They would never in a million years
reject more than one. No way, zero chance they would know.
If you're a United States Senator and you don't want
to face a primary challenge that is extreme, extremely well funded,

(35:01):
you would know for a fact you.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Have maybe one maybe though that you.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Get away with.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Eh.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
I don't know about Matt Gates. Maybe I'm gonna be
a no on that one. You definitely don't have two.
There is no chance, zero zip, not going to happen
that multiple Trump picks, of these big ones. I'm talking
about the big ones, that multiple Trump picks will be
shot down by a GOP Senate Because just in the

(35:30):
same way that Trump has a limited amount of political capital,
he has a bunch. He's the new president he's got
a bunch, but it's limited. It's always limited time. Eventually
he'll turn you back into the bad guy in that
exact same way. If you're a United States senator, you
have maybe one rejection of your president's nominees, maybe one,

(35:54):
and you might not even have that if you're like, uh,
what's that lady's name? Capudo Corpedo from West Virginia. West
Virginia's blood red. Now she's already out there vocally talking
about I don't know about Matt Gates. That woman's gonna
lose her Senate seat if she votes against Matt Gates.
Murkowski and Alaska can get away with it. Alaska is
so super purple, it's not blood red. If you're in

(36:15):
a blood red state like West Virginia and you vote
against Donald Trump's pick for Attorney general, goodbye, too bad.
So sad, Do not pass, go, do not collect two
hundred dollars. You're gone. You only have so much capital left.
Maybe in a way, he's gonna be the bullet sponge.
All right, let's talk about Elizabeth Warren, John Bolton, the

(36:36):
Biden administration's corruption. We can't forget about that. Let's talk
about your dog let's make sure your dog lives longer.
Don't you want that. My wife already ob already, when
she's snuggling with Fred, which is like all the time
because Fred demands it, She'll already get this feeling, this
look on her face, and I'll say, baby, what, what's wrong?

(36:59):
I can't believe he's got to die one days. That's
what they do to us. They become part of the family,
They become part of you. It's like losing a family member.
It's fregaging, horrible. We pour. We sprinkle rough greens on
Fred's food every single meal so Fred can live longer. Yes,
we get the benefits that Fred's coat looks better, he

(37:19):
doesn't have digestive problems anymore. There are benefits your dog
gets from finally getting nutrition, but the best one is
your dog lives longer. Start sprinkling rough greens on your
dog's food or your cat. They have cat stuff now too.
Also check out the new Choose for the dog Roughgreens
dot com. Slash Jesse gets you a free Jumpstart trialbag,

(37:44):
or you can call them eight three three three three
my dog. We'll be back
