Speaker 1 (00:02):
Pete hagg Seth lit the military on fire. Today. We
have a bunch of stuff about that. We're going to
talk about this Pfizer, dear old Senator Ron Johnson is here,
Julio Rosas, all that and more coming up on on writen.
(00:23):
All right, So what everybody's talking about today is the
speech Pete haig Seth gave to all the military top
brass and everyone knew something was going to happen. He
put out the word that generals and amirls, all these
big shots, all the military leadership. Yeah, you guys all
have to come to Washington, DC, all of you physically.
(00:45):
Now that's a huge deal, a gigantic deal. It's not
like you or me getting online and booking a Southwest
Airlines ticket to fly an hour. These people are all
around the planet and they all come with gi organic entourages, staffers, drivers,
all kinds of things. And it was not optional. All
(01:05):
of you. Come on, We're going to have a little
chat now. Before we get to the actual chat, I
need to explain some stuff you already know, some stuff
you may not realize about why the military has rotted
as much as it has rotted. But what happens so
we're going to talk about communists and power first. When
(01:28):
you drive through your town, We're just going to make
this about your town. When you drive through your town
and you see a school, what do you think should
be done at that school? Educate children? When you keep
driving down the road and you see the public library,
what should be done at that public library? Well, they're
all about books. There should be giving out books, loaning
out books to people. You drive to the hospital, what
(01:50):
should be done there, caring for sick people? On and
on and on and on and on it goes. You
believe every single institution should do the purpose of the institution.
Almost sounds like a simple point, right, But it's really
important to understand that that's not how the communist sees anything,
anything at all. The communist drives down the road and
(02:12):
the communist looks over at the school, and the communist thinks,
how can I use that for my revolution? I need
to get in there. There are kids in there, but
if I could teach them about the revolution. The communist
keeps driving down the road and he sees the public
library and he says, hmm, there are a lot of
kids who go there, adults too. They're picking up books,
(02:32):
they're learning things. You know what, we need to get
a big trainee display in there. Make sure we really
drive that point home. The communist drives further up the
road and he sees the hospital. Everything he sees. Everything
he sees is an opportunity for power and to use
that power for the revolution, which brings us to the
(02:54):
United States military. It supplies across the government. But we're
just going to make it about the military. When you
think about the military in anyway, maybe you serve, maybe
you didn't, maybe you have a relative, but even if
you did, none of that matters at all. When you
think about the United States military, what do you think,
what should they be doing? Well, training, training so they
can fight for America, defend America, training so they can
(03:17):
defeat our enemies. That's a basic point. That's the point
of the military. But you really, really, you have to
understand this. That's not how the communists sees the military
at all. Defending America, fighting for America, these thoughts never
even enter his mind. The communist doesn't think in those
(03:37):
terms at all. He's fighting a completely different war, a
completely different revolution. For him. The military presents an incredible opportunity,
an opportunity for what. Well, we live in a country,
by the grace of God, where the military does not rule.
We're not run by a general an admiral the military.
(03:57):
Our military serves under our civilian government. You me, we
get to pick the government, and then the government tells
the military. You go here, you do this, you don't
do that. That's a good system, that's the kind of
system we want. But it also is a system that
presents an opportunity for the communist. If he can conquer
(04:19):
the government, then that huge military, all those people, all
those guns, all those bombs, all those tanks, all that money,
well that can all be used for the revolution, all
of it, every single part of it. And so many
people on the right in recent years, as we've watched
(04:39):
the military get gayer and lamer and gayer and labor
and we had to stuff women here in DEI this
and trainees here, and normal people like you like me
have been mortified. And it's it's a common way of
thinking for normal people to say, why are they doing this.
They're destroying the military. They're destroying what you think the
(05:02):
military should do. They're destroying what I think the military
should do. That's not what they think the military should
do at all. They have a gigantic toy to play with.
They can use it for the revolution, and so they
have done everything they can do to that end. Which
is why this Trump term is so critically important. Because
(05:22):
our military in recent years has reached critical mass for communism.
At our military academies, you can take courses on diversity.
We have so much gay, rainbow drag, queen ugliness there
open anti white racism. It has turned into Berkeley a disaster,
(05:44):
and it needs a lot of work. By the grace
of God, our Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has spoken endlessly
about this long before he was Defense Secretary, who wrote
a book about this. People who have fought for this country,
who know it is a big, big problem. So Pete
hag Seth called all those generals, all those admirals, many
(06:07):
of whom are responsible for the condition of our military,
and they had a little chat today.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly
restored Department of War is this war fighting, preparing for
war and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit.
Not because we want war, No one here wants war,
(06:34):
but it's because we love peace. We love peace for
our fellow citizens. They deserve peace, and they rightfully expect
us to deliver it. Our number one job, of course,
is to be strong so that we can prevent war
in the first place. The President talks about it all
(06:54):
the time. It's called peace through strength, And as history
teaches us the old only people who actually deserve peace
are those who are willing to wage war to defend it.
That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Wow, when's the last time you heard a defense secretary
talk like that? Certainly not Lloyd Austin with his mask
in this space shield on. When's the last time you
remember a defense secretary talk like this?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Should our enemies choose foolishly to.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And ferocity of the War Department.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
In other words, to our enemies, fa fo. If necessary,
our troops can translate that for you. As President Trump
has said, and he's right, we have the strongest, most powerful,
most lethal, and most prepared military on the planet. That
is true, full stop. Nobody can touch us. It's not
(08:05):
even close.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, Before I play this next one, I want you
to understand something I did four years in the Marines.
It's nothing special, average grunt marine did my time in Iraq.
But because of that time in the Marines, and now,
because of what I do, I know a lot and
a lot of veterans, a lot of veterans, and I'm
(08:29):
talking the war fighting type, the trigger pullers, the guys
who do not sit on base, the guys who have
seen men die, their friends die, the guys who have
killed people. The guys who are in these positions. We
need them to be and I know lots of them.
I count them as friends. We talk all the time,
and you can't imagine the things they've said to me
in recent years, the disgust they have with watching their pride,
(08:55):
their military, watching it be completely destroyed by the Marxian.
They're mortified. So many have already gotten out. Not only
have they gotten out, they have told me over and
over and over again, Jesse, my son will not serve,
my daughter will not serve. They will not be serving
underneath this disgusting leadership we have now in this country.
(09:17):
Those guys, and some of whom are still in and
they write me anonymously. Those guys have been dying dying
for leadership that talks, thinks, and acts like them. They've
been dying for this for too long.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
We've promoted too many uniform leaders for the wrong reasons,
based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on
historic so called firsts.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
We became the Woke Department. But not anymore. No more
identity months.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Dei offices, dudes in dresses, no more climate change worship,
no more division.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Distraction or delusions, no more debris.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
As I've said before and we'll say again, we are
done with that new war department. Golden rule is this,
do onto your unit as you would have done onto
your own child's unit. Would you want him serving with
fat or unfit or undertrained troops, or alongside people who
(10:25):
can't meet basic standards, or in a unit where standards
were lowered so certain types of troops could make it
in in a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons
other than merit performance and war fighting.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
The answer is not just no, it's hell no.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations, or
really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely
unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls
of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country in
the world.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's a bad look. It is bad and it's not
who we are.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chairborne ranger,
a brand new private, or a four star general, you
need to meet the height and weight standards and pass
REPT tests.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, standards, huh. They talked more about standards today.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
At my direction, each service will ensure that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Every requirement for every combat MOS, for every designated combat
arms position returns to the highest mail standard. Only because
this job is life or death. Standards must be met
and not just met. At every level. We should seek
to exceed the standard, to push the envelope, to compete
(11:44):
its common sense and core to who we are and
what we do.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
It should be in our DNA.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Today.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
At my direction, we are also adding a combat field
test for combat arms units that must be executable in
any environment, at any time and with combat equipment. These
tests that'll look familiar. They'll resemble the Army Expert Physical
Fitness Assessment or the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test. I'm
(12:12):
also directing that warfighters in combat jobs.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Execute their service Fitness.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Test at a gender neutral age normed male standard scored
above seventy percent.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Simply put, if you do not meet the male level physical.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test, or
don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for
a new position or a new profession.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
The male standard. That's offensive. Yeah, not in war, it's not.
Men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women. We have
forced women into ridiculous combat positions in this military, and
it is and already has going to get people killed.
(13:00):
It gets people killed. When you have people who are
not physically able to keep up with others. It costs
people's lives. So you can feel good about feminism. Look
at all the women we have, no more the highest
male standard. And what's crazy is how many people in
this country think that's crazy. Every military in the history
(13:24):
of the world would have acknowledged that's basic stuff. Here
in this country, it's been treated all day as controversial.
Aren't we supposed to be more understanding?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
No, no, no, no no. But of course you know why
we talked about it in the open. They have different
ideas about what the military should be. He talked about
the people who got promoted and the changes of the
promotion ladder.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
We are liberating commanders and NCOs. We are liberating you.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We are overhauling and inspector general process, the IG that
has been weaponized, putting complainers, idelogues and poor performers in
the driver's seat. We're doing the same with the Equal
Opportunity and military equal Opportunity policies. The EO and MOO
at our department. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints,
(14:14):
no more repeat complainants.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
No more smearing.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Reputations, no more endless waiting, no more legal limbo, no
more sidetracking careers, no more walking on eggshells.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Promote top performing.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Officers and NCOs faster, and get rid of poor performers
more quickly.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Evaluations, education, and field.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Exercises will become real evaluations, not box.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Checks, for every one of us at every level.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That is exactly what we've been needing. It was an
outstanding day, even if you're not in, even if you
can't see it, it's an outstanding day. Now the work
begins because there's a lot of rot in there that
has to be cleaned out. Clearly they're getting ready to
do so. That may have made you uncomfortable, but I
don't care. I'm right. So see, we're gonna talk to
(15:08):
Julio Rosas, United States Marine in a moment. Before we do,
let me tell you about pure Talk. Let me tell
you about my mobile company. My mobile company did never
participate in all the corporate Marxist filth. You know, Verizon
AT and TT Mobile. They were more than willing partners
(15:31):
when the Communists were tearing through our culture. They use
your money to tear through our culture. I choose to
not reward them for that. I choose to go to
Pure Talk. I'm on the same network, so I'm not
dropping calls. I'm on the same network. I save a
pile of money. I didn't need a new phone. I
didn't even want a new phone. It's like, can I
(15:52):
keep my phone? This is your keep your phone number.
Switch to pure Talk. It's easy, It'll save you a
pile of money, and you can feel better about where
you spend it. Puretalk, dot com, slash Jesse TV. We'll
be back.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Today is another liberation day, the liberation of America's warriors
in name, indeed and inauthorities. You kill people and break
things for a living. You are not politically correct and
don't necessarily belong.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Always in polite society. We are not an army of one.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
We are a joint force of millions of selfless Americans.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
We are warriors.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
We are purpose built not for fair weather, blue skies
or calm seas. We were built to load up in
the back of helicopters five tons or zodiacs in the
dead of night, in fair weather or foul, to go
to dangerous places, to find to find those who would
do our nation harm and deliver justice on behalf of
(17:08):
the American people in close and brutal combat if necessary.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
You are different.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Gosh, it's been so long since anyone talked like that.
Joining me now. United States Marine and National correspondent with
the Blaze, Julio Rosas. Julio Man, I've out came out
of my chair watching that thing today.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, I almost kind of want to go back if
I didn't have this, this illustrious career of going into
other crazy situations. But I mean, yeah, that speech. I
know some people were saying, oh, it's a waste, what
this could be done over vio conference calls be done
over a meeting, But Jesse, you know how important formations
are in person formations are in the military, and it's yeah,
(17:55):
it was all this, you know, this spectacle was there
was a reason behind that, right to say, we're gonna
bring you wherever you're from, your command is gonna be
the other side of the world. We're gonna bring you
back to d C, to the area so that you
can hear directly from second guy, you know, the guy
in charge of the Department of War, you know close
ally of President Trump, that things are different now, like
(18:15):
we were serious and we mean it, and and you know,
all of the nonsense, all the bs that has been
happening for for a long time, you know pretty you know,
even you know back in the early two thousands that
that's over. And and so I think, you know, it
was a much needed wake up call to the people
above the high brass right and and this this further
(18:38):
exemplifies why you know, a Secretary of Hegseth, was chosen
by President Trump to lead the department because he he
he understands as once an enlisted man himself, and you know,
he was an officer, uh, not not that high of
an officer, but but an officer nonetheless, And so that
that's a much needed perspective, especially as a former enlisted
(18:59):
man myself.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Ull Oh, how could the brass let it get to
the point where they needed a speech like that from
the Secretary of War. So many people who were never
in and don't really realize that that they don't understand
And see that general and he's got all these ribbons,
all these all these ribbons and metals, and he's got
the real shiny collar, and surely that means he's a
warrior for America and a patriot, right, how could he
(19:23):
let this happen?
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Well, actually, it's not that all dissimilar from the talking heads,
except for your Jesse of course, in the media and
and ground reporters. Let you know, because when you're on
the ground and you see things for yourself, whether it's
in a combat situation or in a reporting situation, you
have a much different perspective than someone who is in
the studio or back at you know, the you know,
the this this office, whether it's in DC, at the
(19:46):
Pentagon or some of you know high Command that's in
Europe or you know Tampa for you know, for example.
So it's inevitable, it's inevitable that you're going to lose
some perspective, and that's why you got to have that's
why they have senior enlisted advisors. Right, so even then
that that that's still a high ranking position. And so
I think the reason why is just because they let
(20:06):
it get to that point is just because it's just
the politics. And and yeah, people don't really understand unless
you've been in the military and you've seen it that
once you get to you know, the two three four stars,
things get very very political, very very quickly, because you know,
if you don't support certain things, if you don't get
along with the blob, the swamp of d C and
(20:29):
and the and the industry that supports it, you're not
gonna get anywhere. And you're not gonna get that third
or fourth star. You know, you're not going to get
that high command that you might have been wanting since
you were a cadet at West Point or something. So
it's just the unfortunate, uh, you know, Hubris that that
we've had, because yeah, our track record from these past
(20:49):
you know, from the War on Terror is is you know,
unfortunately it's atrocious. Not necessarily know, it's not because of
the ground guys. You know, they obviously did their part Jess,
you did your part, but it's the high ranking people
that make those tough decisions, and they get when they
get clouded or they get distracted with all this nonsense
of like, oh, we got to have dei hires in
our human resources department as opposed to like, what's that
(21:11):
going to actually like win battles and win wars, people
are going to suffer. And I think, for example, you
know how we ended the war in Afghanistan was the
culmination of all that I mean, that was that that
was decades of mismanagement and and just total uh misdirection
and and mistrust towards the American people. But they couldn't
(21:32):
hide that, you know, they couldn't hide how you know,
us leaving that that country in such a such a
dishonorable way.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Speaking of dei hires, here was Dick Levine.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Hello, I'm Admiral Rachel Levine. Climate change is having a
disproportionate effect on the physical and mental health of black communities.
Black Americans are more likely than white Americans to live
in areas and housing that increase their susceptibility to climate
related health issues, and sixty five percent of Black Americans
report feeling anxious about climate changes impact. Through our Office
(22:09):
of Climate Change and Health Equity and the Office of
Environmental Justice, we're working with providers and community leaders to
identify innovative approaches that empower communities to address to health
consequences linked to climate.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Chain Julio, how much of that is still left in
the military beginnings. It seems to me like Pete Hegseth
has a lot of cleaning up to do.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I would say, there's still a big chunk, and we
saw that. Unfortunately in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk being killed.
There were a lot of uniformed personnel on their social
media pages that are often were times supported by their
command saying the most horrific thing about Charlie and lying
(22:56):
about him and what he said for But because I mean,
I remember during the early days of you know, the
Trump administration and the first term, I had to sign
an understanding. I have signed an agreement with U through
the d D on social media use and that whatever
I posted had to be professional, it had to reflect
good on the service and the department and these people
(23:20):
who have the preferred political leanings and activism. That the blob,
you know, the DC blob has they've been super political,
they've been super uh just unhinged prior to Charlie being killed.
But people didn't really understand it until you know that
they were people where other people were looking for, you know,
who was saying what about Charlie. So there is this
(23:44):
capture that is deeply embedded within the Department of War.
This is just the first step to try to get
that culture to change and get back to the basics.
Which is concerning because it's like, well, why haven't you
guys been focused on this to begin with, Like you're
you're dealing with life and death situations with the security
of not just the country but in many cases of
the world, and really we've only been getting along just
(24:06):
through the inertia that that we've had for you know,
since you know, since the post World War two period
of Vietnam and all that. You know, this isn't desert
storm anymore. I mean that this is this is just
brave new world stuff that requires serious people, and I
think that the Trump administration is doing a good job
(24:26):
to get it just again, just back to the basics.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Final one from me. Trump spoke about fighting the cartels
today and all these guys is what he said.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Together with the leaders here today, we're also restoring and
needed focus on defeating threats in the Western hemisphere. Throughout
this region. Cartel terrs have been allowed to wage a
relentless campaign of death and destruction in our country. Well
because we had weak leadership on time, and we did
(24:57):
a great job with it first term. But this is
something else. What we're doing now, we're taking it to
the next level, probably next level of times three.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Well THEO what does that mean again?
Speaker 5 (25:13):
It means that things are different now that we are
going to be taken seriously and that and that's why
they're drone striking smuggling smuggling boats from Venezuela because we've
been at we were absolutely taking advantage of during the
past four years. The fact that the drug cartels were
able to make more money dealing with human smuggling and
(25:34):
human trafficking than drugs during that period is insane. And
they did that because they know that they were able
to make more money because I was guaranteed there was
no you know, significant loss of quote unquote product. And
so now that we have again serious leadership to safeguard
the homeland, this is what it means. You know again, Jessic,
(25:57):
We've talked about this before where I'm not exactly sure
if it means we're going to, you know, do full
invasion of South America. But something has to change. And
that's why Trump was elected because the status quo, especially
within you know, the Department of you know, the former
Department of Defense, it was a total It was a
total joke. It was a total joke. Everyone saw it,
everyone knew it. But because again is of this going
(26:20):
along to get a long attitude within the halls of
the Pentagon, no one wanted to do anything because there
was their career and so again I think this speech
was which much needed. It was very refreshing. I was
very motivated with it, and I'm not and I've been
out for over four years now, so it's it's I
if I were if I were in, I'd be very happy.
I'll just put it down. I'd i'd be very happy
(26:42):
if I was still in.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
No doubt, who deal. Thank you, boss, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
All.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Right, Before we go talk to Senator Johnson about the
shut down, I want to talk to you about how
garbage you're all of oil is. It's it's a hard time,
it's just do me. We have to talk about it.
That bottle of olive oil I know you have sitting
over by your stove. You're probably looking at it right now.
I hope you feel guilty because it's bland and it's crappy,
(27:10):
and it's not your fault. It's old. We don't realize
that we buy old olive oil, and we think that
we don't have options. We all get it at the
grocery store. I always did you go to the olive
oil aisle? Was it once a year when you run
out and you go grab just grab a bottle. All
this looks like it comes from Italy. We all do
the same thing. Stop doing that. Get olive oil fresh
(27:31):
from the farm and you're going to taste an amazing difference.
Farm Fresh two four six dot com gets you fresh
from the farm. You don't have to take my word
for it. They'll send you a bottle thirty nine dollars
bottle for a dollar help cover the shipping. Then you'll
see farm Fresh two four to six dot com will
(27:52):
be bad. All right? What's this shutdown stuff all about?
Should I be as excited as I am about the
government no longer being open? Let's ask somebody who will
tell it right. You know, he'll give it to a straight.
Senator Ron Johnson from the state of Wisconsin. Senator, why
(28:15):
should I be upset if the government shuts down? I
know you have to pretend to be upset, But why
should I be mad?
Speaker 8 (28:20):
I don't have to pretend wouldn't hurt my feeling? Listen,
I just I just offer the bill eliminate shutdowns at
and every Democrat vote against it. And unfortunately twelve of
our appropriators, twelve Republican appropriators vote against as well. So
you know, go figure. But no, I you know, the
vast majority of government is deemed essential. Government thinks quite
(28:43):
a bit of itself, so it's deemed essential. It'll remain open.
The part that closes those the government employees will go
off to the spots and take vacations. They'll eventually get
paid again. It's it's one great big charade. We know
how this ends. They're going to, you know, give it
see up against some holiday right before the holiday. Once
(29:04):
the appropriators get all there, you know, their two thousand
page bills done, they'll be dropped on our desks. And
what we'll have less than twenty four hours to pretend
to read it and then vote yes or no. I
generally vote know, but that that's that's the game that's
been played. I've been here for fifteen years, Jesse. In
that time, we should have passed one hundred and eighty
(29:25):
appropriation bills before the start of the next fiscal year. Right,
one hundred and eighty, you know, I mean we've passed six.
We've passed six on time. That's a that's a ninety
six point seven cent failure rate. And yet that the
appropriators who opposed my bill said this bill would undercut
the appropriation process. So maybe we would have only passed
(29:47):
four or five of those things had the prevent or
the Eliminated Shutdown Act been in place. Now it's it's
it's a very sad joke, it is. It's again to
the outside, it looks just functional. No, this is a
very well honed process by the Unit Party to create
these fiscal cliffs. Get the American public all spent up
(30:08):
about the disaster that the government shutdown is, so they
can again they can unravel, They can write and then
unravel and present these multi thousand page on spending bills
that there are always always Democrats will vote for it,
and they can always assemble what I always call the
mcconic coalition of just enough Republicans to join Democrats in
(30:28):
passing their priorities. And let's hope and pray that President
Trump doesn't relent now on their latest gambit. The Democrats
opening salvele here that the House passed and relatively clean
cr again backed up against the Thanksgiving holiday. And I
don't like that because that's setting up the process. But
the Democrats counter that was, well, we'll give you a
(30:49):
four week r and all we're asking for is another
one point five trillion dollars worth of spending and unravel
all the things he did in the one Big Beautiful Bill.
I mean, that's an obviously unseerious offer. My concern is
what they really want is what they could have done
easily when they had control under Biden. They want permanence,
permanence for the temporary pandemic enhanced Obamacare subsidies. And they
(31:17):
want that because Obamacare itself has dramatically increased the cost
of health insurance on individuals. Change and those enhanced subsidies
basically took a lot of people, millions of people that
were getting subsidies. But they also had to chip into
those those insurance plans don't chip in anymore. The result
is you've got unscrupulous agents and brokers who are literally
(31:40):
selling policies the people that don't even know they're getting them.
They're collected commission the insurance companies are collecting the premiums,
billions of dollars of taxpayer money going into policies.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That aren't being used.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
That the people that the policies are written for don't
even know they have them. If any Republican, including the President,
supports extending that fraud, that's what they're doing. They're extending
those substantes. They're perpetuating that massive fraud.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Do you get the sense from the White House that
the President is with us on this? As many good
things as Trump has done, he's frankly disastrous when it
comes to spending items. Is he with us this time?
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Well?
Speaker 8 (32:21):
I know a lot of the political advisors are scared,
you know whatless of being accused of taking healthcare away
from women and children. You know, that's why we didn't
We didn't end the fraud of the nine to one
match under the Obamacare expansion of a Medicaid. We couldn't
touch that they already did too much to medicaid, And yeah,
(32:42):
I'm afraid they are afraid of the demogogue we come
from the Democrats backed up by the media. And listen,
it's a legitimate concern. You know, how affective the Demo
gods the liars are on the left, and how they're
supported by the media. So it's not an illegitimate concern
from a standard when if you want to win the House.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
But no, I am concerned handicap it for us. How
long is the shutdown last? I really don't know.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Listen, If it's just solely up to Democrats, who are
going to be pretty relentless because they know the media
will back them up, it could last quite some time.
It all depends on how soon Republicans might cave. It's
just as simple. It was only up to me. Well,
I would continue to bring up the Eliminate Shutdowns Act,
(33:34):
which just creates fourteen day rolling sea or continuing appropriations,
you know, shutdown government US, find the last year's levels,
and then try and figure out areas of agreement, you know,
like veterans affairs or defense. I mean, there are plenty
of areas where appropriators and a lot of members would
actually agree and pass those one at a time without
all this shutdown threat. Again, the shutdown threat is all
(33:56):
about spending a lot more money than once. You could
actually pass if you did individual appropriation bills, do it
right before Christmas, a two thousand page bill. That's that's
the game that's been played ever since I arrived here
in twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Figures. Senator, Thank you, sir, I appreciate it. That poor guy,
we need to send him some Massive chips. That's what
he needs. He's been there fifteen If you can tell
frustrated he is. He needs to box some Massa chips.
You know what. I'm gonna get a hold of Massa chips.
And I know what you're thinking. Ron Johnson is famously
a guy who cares about his health. I'm gonna have
(34:33):
a salad today. Well, massive chips are They're good? These
aren't these store brand chips that have eight thousand cancer
causing piles of filth in there. You know it's in
Massive chips. It's three ingredients. Three. My wife, the health freak,
eats Massive chips and they're amazing. Several different flavors, corn chips,
(34:56):
potato chips. It's the one chip I can eat where
I'm not going to get the evil eye from. Are
you gonna eat the whole bag? Yes, yes i am.
I'm in a city and I'm gonna da have hot
sauce on it, and I'm gonna eat the whole bag,
and I'm not going to feel bad about it. Trust me.
You get one bag of Massa Chips, try a potato
or two, Try a tortilla or two. You'll never go back.
(35:17):
Massive Chips dot com slash JESSETV. We'll be back.
Speaker 9 (35:29):
I have nothing to apologize for, you know it is
it is a tragedy that Charliekirk was killed in that way.
I feel for his widow and his children. They will
have to live with that for the rest of their lives.
But there is no legacy to honor. It was a
legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy. And as
(35:51):
a black woman and as a Muslim in this country,
I refuse for I refuse to join the chorus that
changes the history of what is on the record from
this man. But I am not going to be bullied
into complacency, into you know, dishonoring who I am and
(36:14):
what I stand for just to you know, make them
feel comfortable. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
What a nasty witch. He was one of the nicest
human beings I ever met in my life. And listen,
which that's exactly why you're going to end up with
somebody like me joining me now. Monica Page, White House correspondent,
also turning point USA. Just a nasty hag. And this
has been unbelievably common since Charlie Kirk was murdered, these
(36:47):
people pretending like he's some barbarian. It's wild to me.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
Yeah, Jesse, she's a disgusting woman. And it's really whorts
my heart to hear Democrats, specifically those like Ilhan Omar
and many of those anti American Democrats who aren't even
from our country to begin with, who are saying these
suspicable things and they don't even know the amazing things
that Charlie Kirk did. He bridged a gap between Republicans
(37:13):
and Democrats in a way that nobody else could. He
touched the hearts and the minds of college students. That's
not an easy thing to do. And every single day
I feel like I'm reminded of the amazing work that
he's done. He's pushed me personally to become not only
a better person, but also a better reporter. He's pushed
me in ways that I don't think I would have
ever been pushed if I worked for anybody else. So
(37:36):
it's going to be a really tough road moving forward.
But it is a job that we are so excited
to do and carry on. And we just cannot listen
to people like ilhanom Or, we can't listen to people
like Don Lemon. We have to keep ignoring that noise,
and we need to keep pushing forward. We have work
to do, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
She mentioned what she stands for against what she stands for,
but she did not elaborate. It's funny how often Communists
do that. What does she stand for, Monica?
Speaker 10 (38:03):
I have no idea what she stands for. I think
she stands for anybody else other than the American people.
And I'm baffled every single day as to how she's
even in our country doing what she's doing. I mean,
this is a woman who's actually married to a white man,
but also married to her brother. Still, this is somebody
who doesn't have any sort of morals or values that
(38:24):
benefit the American people, And quite honestly, I think that
she and other radical leftists are the best thing for
the Republican Party. I mean, President Trump said it best.
People like her, people like Zorra, Mom, Donnie are gifts
to the Republican Party, and we should we should probably
let people like her just keep talking because it's better
for us the more that she speaks.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, maybe I should get her on the show somehow,
I don't think she'll accept that invitation. You mentioned don Lemon,
and you mentioned being married to a white man, and
so that seems oddly appropriate. He came out and said this.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
White men, something is broken, something is cracked deep inside.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
When so many of you believe the answer to.
Speaker 11 (39:08):
Fear, to loss, to change is violence by goud white men,
what the fuck is wrong with you? But you're too
dumb to even realize that, because you're lazy and sitting
in front of a computer or a phone and you're
just eating it up. Oh my gosh, look at what
(39:31):
they're doing. All of a sudden, My heritage is going
to be over that.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I won't.
Speaker 11 (39:36):
I want to live in a country there are white
kids go to white schools, and white people marry each
other what is wrong with that. I want to grow
up in the country that my great grandfather grew up in.
That country doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
All well, I think he said a lot right there, Monica, Yeah,
he said a lot.
Speaker 10 (39:59):
And Jesse, honestly, I think you everybody an apology for
being a white man. You are the enemy. It is
your problem, and it's your fault why we are here
in this spot. I think it's hysterical that Don Lemon
won't call out that it's six percent of the population
that commits half the crimes in our country. And Charlie
Kirk was very vocal in the crime in our country
(40:20):
and who's behind it all? And I am old enough
to remember when Don Lemon spoke about the problems that
the black community were facing, he actually spoke about what
was it. I think it was the top five ways
to fix the African American community, and the number one
thing was fatherlessness. And the fact that he's completely flip
flopped on this and made it about white people was
adding to the division in our country. You should be
(40:40):
ashamed of yourself. He's married to a white man, so
is Elano Omar. And the hypocrisy is on new levels
that I didn't even think could be even reached. And
to his point saying, oh, white people want to be
surrounding themselves with other white people. They want to send
their kids to white schools, they themselves have so segregated.
(41:00):
They want to live in black communities. They want to
send their ChIL to black schools. Specifically, they want to
marry within their own culture. And so what if what
people want the same, that doesn't make us racist, That
just makes us wanting to peet with their own people.
They do the exact same thing, Jesse.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
That's funny how people act when that shoe gets on
the other foot. Okay, let's shift gears here. Because Israel
Gaza is something that's been going on for years, and
I'd see all the poll numbers on this. This is
an issue that most Americans have kind of checked out of.
I realize there are people who care a lot this
way or that way, but most Americans are kind of
checked out on it. Donald Trump wants it to end
(41:38):
once this thing wrapped up so he can move on.
Are we close to getting that done?
Speaker 10 (41:43):
I wish we were, Jesse, because this plan, this new
plan that was just unveiled this week, has really proved
to be phenomenal. He wants to create a peace board
where you know, you have a specific governing force in
the Gazan region to at least try to maintain peace
because you really can't have a strict Palestinian state. We
see what happens when something like that happens. I'm very
(42:05):
curious to see what happens, because Israel apparently agreed to
this deal is waiting on Hamas. But unfortunately, I don't
think a force like Hamas will agree with something like
this because they just strictly just don't care for peace.
And you know, President Trump gave Israel his blessing and saying, listen,
if Amas doesn't want to agree to this, you have
my full approval to do what you need to do
(42:28):
to keep eradicating this problem in the Middle East. You know,
you say a lot of people are kind of tired
of this. I'm one of them. I have serious war
fatigue between Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Hamas. I'm pretty sick of it,
and I'd like to see an end to this. But
a lot of this is very dependent on Hamas and
the only time will tell if this is going to
be again something that could be fixed. But we don't know, Monica.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I don't sit here and pretend that either of us
can crawl inside the mind of a jihadi like Hamas,
and nor do I really care to. But they can't
continue physically. Their military strength, from what I understand from
my sources, is just evaporated. I don't care how committed
of a Jew hating Jihani you are. If you're out
(43:12):
of guns and you're out of men, the war is over.
What's the plan, right?
Speaker 10 (43:18):
I mean, that's exactly the question that I think is
on everybody's minds, and I think that's the question that
this administration is currently facing, because you know, when you
keep stealing the aid, when you keep you know, using
human shields in the region, you know there's no peace
can ever be done. You're not going to release the hostages,
both dead and alive. You can't reach that next level
(43:38):
of peace in the region. And I think a lot
of this is very much up in the air, unfortunately,
because no matter how many deals you keep going to make,
I don't know if you can even make a deal
with terrorism. You can't make a deal with terrorists at
the end of the day. So I mean, I wish
I had a solution. I wish this administration can come
to a conclusion, but it's got to be a both
sides want to end this war. Clearly one side wasn't.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
All right shifting gears here. Trump came out and the
pharmaceutical industry is all hot on everybody's minds. We're all
tired of paying what we pay, and we think there
are a bunch of crups comebacks. This is what Trump said.
Speaker 12 (44:14):
Adviser has agreed to offer capitalists prescription medications and major
discounts in the United States. There's a result of the
most Favored Nation Drug pricing lender that we established earlier
this year is you know, the United States is thanks
sometimes ten times more than other countries for drugs, and
a lot of excuses were made for that, but went
(44:35):
on for many years, many many years, decades, and it's
not going on any longer.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
We're going to be paying the lowest price. Now, we're
going to be paying whatever the lowest prices favored nations.
This will save American taxpayers and consumers hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
Monica, what's going on here? What is this?
Speaker 10 (44:56):
Well, this is clearly President Trump completely reinventing the part
of pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in the entire pharmaceutical industry. This
new investment from Pfizer, I believe is seventy billion dollars,
which is strictly going to lower the cost. It's going
to bring this manufacturing and producing back to America and
essentially have Americans save more money when they need their medications.
(45:19):
We're going to be paying what other countries have been paying.
And we also know that the President is also he
just announced a new Trump RX government website where you
can literally buy your medications through this new website, completely
cutting out the middleman, which is also fantastic. So the
President is taking a new approach to the way things
have been done for decades. I think this is a
(45:41):
great approach for those that need it. I think that
this is a way that many people will have a
lot have an easier time to getting their medications. I
know over the last four years a lot of people
had some difficulty under the Biden administration, and I'm very
excited and positive to see the President take this new approach.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
Is it still cool working at the White House or
is kind of the bloom gotten off the rose?
Speaker 10 (46:05):
It's still really cool. I mean, you just never know
what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Jesse.
Speaker 10 (46:08):
The President could be on the roof one day, he
could be on the North lawn another day, he could
be coming out from the Oval Office. On any other day,
he could randomly call us into the Oval Office for
a big announcement. So you truly never know what's gonna happen.
I will say under the last administration, the year and
a half that I was working under the Biden administration
here at the White House, it was a snooze fest.
It was very quiet. Nothing was happening. A lid would
(46:31):
be called at two pm. The day would start at
eleven am, because that's just what it was. So that
far got old. But now and you know, she never
know what's going to happen. It's it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Yeah, it's hard to believe Joe Biden would run a
sleepy White House. Monica, thank you come back soon. I
appreciate it. Light in the mood. Next, I'm Trump when
he's gone, specifically, even though sometimes it makes me cringe,
(47:04):
like it makes you cringe, I'm gonna miss him trolling
Democrats on social media. Donald Trump, the President of the
United States of America put this on social media.
Speaker 13 (47:14):
Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes
Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all
of our woke trans bull Not even black people want
to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So
we need new voters. And if we give all these
illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get
(47:34):
them on our side so they can vote for us.
They can't even speak English, so they won't realize we're
just a bunch of woke pieces of you know, at
least for a while until they learn English and they
realize they hate us too.
Speaker 14 (47:53):
And then the King Jefferies try to be mad as
the president. The next time you have something to say
about me, don't cop out through a racist and fake
AI video.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
When I'm back in.
Speaker 14 (48:16):
The Oval office, say it to my face.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Say it to my face. I'll see them all
Speaker 5 (48:29):
H
Pete hagg Seth lit the military on fire. Today. We
have a bunch of stuff about that. We're going to
talk about this Pfizer, dear old Senator Ron Johnson is here,
Julio Rosas, all that and more coming up on on writen.
(00:23):
All right, So what everybody's talking about today is the
speech Pete haig Seth gave to all the military top
brass and everyone knew something was going to happen. He
put out the word that generals and amirls, all these
big shots, all the military leadership. Yeah, you guys all
have to come to Washington, DC, all of you physically.
(00:45):
Now that's a huge deal, a gigantic deal. It's not
like you or me getting online and booking a Southwest
Airlines ticket to fly an hour. These people are all
around the planet and they all come with gi organic entourages, staffers, drivers,
all kinds of things. And it was not optional. All
(01:05):
of you. Come on, We're going to have a little
chat now. Before we get to the actual chat, I
need to explain some stuff you already know, some stuff
you may not realize about why the military has rotted
as much as it has rotted. But what happens so
we're going to talk about communists and power first. When
(01:28):
you drive through your town, We're just going to make
this about your town. When you drive through your town
and you see a school, what do you think should
be done at that school? Educate children? When you keep
driving down the road and you see the public library,
what should be done at that public library? Well, they're
all about books. There should be giving out books, loaning
out books to people. You drive to the hospital, what
(01:50):
should be done there, caring for sick people? On and
on and on and on and on it goes. You
believe every single institution should do the purpose of the institution.
Almost sounds like a simple point, right, But it's really
important to understand that that's not how the communist sees anything,
anything at all. The communist drives down the road and
(02:12):
the communist looks over at the school, and the communist thinks,
how can I use that for my revolution? I need
to get in there. There are kids in there, but
if I could teach them about the revolution. The communist
keeps driving down the road and he sees the public
library and he says, hmm, there are a lot of
kids who go there, adults too. They're picking up books,
(02:32):
they're learning things. You know what, we need to get
a big trainee display in there. Make sure we really
drive that point home. The communist drives further up the
road and he sees the hospital. Everything he sees. Everything
he sees is an opportunity for power and to use
that power for the revolution, which brings us to the
(02:54):
United States military. It supplies across the government. But we're
just going to make it about the military. When you
think about the military in anyway, maybe you serve, maybe
you didn't, maybe you have a relative, but even if
you did, none of that matters at all. When you
think about the United States military, what do you think,
what should they be doing? Well, training, training so they
can fight for America, defend America, training so they can
(03:17):
defeat our enemies. That's a basic point. That's the point
of the military. But you really, really, you have to
understand this. That's not how the communists sees the military
at all. Defending America, fighting for America, these thoughts never
even enter his mind. The communist doesn't think in those
(03:37):
terms at all. He's fighting a completely different war, a
completely different revolution. For him. The military presents an incredible opportunity,
an opportunity for what. Well, we live in a country,
by the grace of God, where the military does not rule.
We're not run by a general an admiral the military.
(03:57):
Our military serves under our civilian government. You me, we
get to pick the government, and then the government tells
the military. You go here, you do this, you don't
do that. That's a good system, that's the kind of
system we want. But it also is a system that
presents an opportunity for the communist. If he can conquer
(04:19):
the government, then that huge military, all those people, all
those guns, all those bombs, all those tanks, all that money,
well that can all be used for the revolution, all
of it, every single part of it. And so many
people on the right in recent years, as we've watched
(04:39):
the military get gayer and lamer and gayer and labor
and we had to stuff women here in DEI this
and trainees here, and normal people like you like me
have been mortified. And it's it's a common way of
thinking for normal people to say, why are they doing this.
They're destroying the military. They're destroying what you think the
(05:02):
military should do. They're destroying what I think the military
should do. That's not what they think the military should
do at all. They have a gigantic toy to play with.
They can use it for the revolution, and so they
have done everything they can do to that end. Which
is why this Trump term is so critically important. Because
(05:22):
our military in recent years has reached critical mass for communism.
At our military academies, you can take courses on diversity.
We have so much gay, rainbow drag, queen ugliness there
open anti white racism. It has turned into Berkeley a disaster,
(05:44):
and it needs a lot of work. By the grace
of God, our Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has spoken endlessly
about this long before he was Defense Secretary, who wrote
a book about this. People who have fought for this country,
who know it is a big, big problem. So Pete
hag Seth called all those generals, all those admirals, many
(06:07):
of whom are responsible for the condition of our military,
and they had a little chat today.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly
restored Department of War is this war fighting, preparing for
war and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit.
Not because we want war, No one here wants war,
(06:34):
but it's because we love peace. We love peace for
our fellow citizens. They deserve peace, and they rightfully expect
us to deliver it. Our number one job, of course,
is to be strong so that we can prevent war
in the first place. The President talks about it all
(06:54):
the time. It's called peace through strength, And as history
teaches us the old only people who actually deserve peace
are those who are willing to wage war to defend it.
That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Wow, when's the last time you heard a defense secretary
talk like that? Certainly not Lloyd Austin with his mask
in this space shield on. When's the last time you
remember a defense secretary talk like this?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Should our enemies choose foolishly to.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
And ferocity of the War Department.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
In other words, to our enemies, fa fo. If necessary,
our troops can translate that for you. As President Trump
has said, and he's right, we have the strongest, most powerful,
most lethal, and most prepared military on the planet. That
is true, full stop. Nobody can touch us. It's not
(08:05):
even close.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, Before I play this next one, I want you
to understand something I did four years in the Marines.
It's nothing special, average grunt marine did my time in Iraq.
But because of that time in the Marines, and now,
because of what I do, I know a lot and
a lot of veterans, a lot of veterans, and I'm
(08:29):
talking the war fighting type, the trigger pullers, the guys
who do not sit on base, the guys who have
seen men die, their friends die, the guys who have
killed people. The guys who are in these positions. We
need them to be and I know lots of them.
I count them as friends. We talk all the time,
and you can't imagine the things they've said to me
in recent years, the disgust they have with watching their pride,
(08:55):
their military, watching it be completely destroyed by the Marxian.
They're mortified. So many have already gotten out. Not only
have they gotten out, they have told me over and
over and over again, Jesse, my son will not serve,
my daughter will not serve. They will not be serving
underneath this disgusting leadership we have now in this country.
(09:17):
Those guys, and some of whom are still in and
they write me anonymously. Those guys have been dying dying
for leadership that talks, thinks, and acts like them. They've
been dying for this for too long.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
We've promoted too many uniform leaders for the wrong reasons,
based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on
historic so called firsts.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
We became the Woke Department. But not anymore. No more
identity months.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Dei offices, dudes in dresses, no more climate change worship,
no more division.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Distraction or delusions, no more debris.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
As I've said before and we'll say again, we are
done with that new war department. Golden rule is this,
do onto your unit as you would have done onto
your own child's unit. Would you want him serving with
fat or unfit or undertrained troops, or alongside people who
(10:25):
can't meet basic standards, or in a unit where standards
were lowered so certain types of troops could make it
in in a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons
other than merit performance and war fighting.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
The answer is not just no, it's hell no.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations, or
really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely
unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls
of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country in
the world.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's a bad look. It is bad and it's not
who we are.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chairborne ranger,
a brand new private, or a four star general, you
need to meet the height and weight standards and pass
REPT tests.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, standards, huh. They talked more about standards today.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
At my direction, each service will ensure that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Every requirement for every combat MOS, for every designated combat
arms position returns to the highest mail standard. Only because
this job is life or death. Standards must be met
and not just met. At every level. We should seek
to exceed the standard, to push the envelope, to compete
(11:44):
its common sense and core to who we are and
what we do.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
It should be in our DNA.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Today.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
At my direction, we are also adding a combat field
test for combat arms units that must be executable in
any environment, at any time and with combat equipment. These
tests that'll look familiar. They'll resemble the Army Expert Physical
Fitness Assessment or the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test. I'm
(12:12):
also directing that warfighters in combat jobs.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Execute their service Fitness.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Test at a gender neutral age normed male standard scored
above seventy percent.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Simply put, if you do not meet the male level physical.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test, or
don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for
a new position or a new profession.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
The male standard. That's offensive. Yeah, not in war, it's not.
Men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women. We have
forced women into ridiculous combat positions in this military, and
it is and already has going to get people killed.
(13:00):
It gets people killed. When you have people who are
not physically able to keep up with others. It costs
people's lives. So you can feel good about feminism. Look
at all the women we have, no more the highest
male standard. And what's crazy is how many people in
this country think that's crazy. Every military in the history
(13:24):
of the world would have acknowledged that's basic stuff. Here
in this country, it's been treated all day as controversial.
Aren't we supposed to be more understanding?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
No, no, no, no no. But of course you know why
we talked about it in the open. They have different
ideas about what the military should be. He talked about
the people who got promoted and the changes of the
promotion ladder.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
We are liberating commanders and NCOs. We are liberating you.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
We are overhauling and inspector general process, the IG that
has been weaponized, putting complainers, idelogues and poor performers in
the driver's seat. We're doing the same with the Equal
Opportunity and military equal Opportunity policies. The EO and MOO
at our department. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints,
(14:14):
no more repeat complainants.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
No more smearing.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Reputations, no more endless waiting, no more legal limbo, no
more sidetracking careers, no more walking on eggshells.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Promote top performing.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Officers and NCOs faster, and get rid of poor performers
more quickly.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Evaluations, education, and field.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Exercises will become real evaluations, not box.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Checks, for every one of us at every level.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That is exactly what we've been needing. It was an
outstanding day, even if you're not in, even if you
can't see it, it's an outstanding day. Now the work
begins because there's a lot of rot in there that
has to be cleaned out. Clearly they're getting ready to
do so. That may have made you uncomfortable, but I
don't care. I'm right. So see, we're gonna talk to
(15:08):
Julio Rosas, United States Marine in a moment. Before we do,
let me tell you about pure Talk. Let me tell
you about my mobile company. My mobile company did never
participate in all the corporate Marxist filth. You know, Verizon
AT and TT Mobile. They were more than willing partners
(15:31):
when the Communists were tearing through our culture. They use
your money to tear through our culture. I choose to
not reward them for that. I choose to go to
Pure Talk. I'm on the same network, so I'm not
dropping calls. I'm on the same network. I save a
pile of money. I didn't need a new phone. I
didn't even want a new phone. It's like, can I
(15:52):
keep my phone? This is your keep your phone number.
Switch to pure Talk. It's easy, It'll save you a
pile of money, and you can feel better about where
you spend it. Puretalk, dot com, slash Jesse TV. We'll
be back.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Well.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Today is another liberation day, the liberation of America's warriors
in name, indeed and inauthorities. You kill people and break
things for a living. You are not politically correct and
don't necessarily belong.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Always in polite society. We are not an army of one.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
We are a joint force of millions of selfless Americans.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
We are warriors.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
We are purpose built not for fair weather, blue skies
or calm seas. We were built to load up in
the back of helicopters five tons or zodiacs in the
dead of night, in fair weather or foul, to go
to dangerous places, to find to find those who would
do our nation harm and deliver justice on behalf of
(17:08):
the American people in close and brutal combat if necessary.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
You are different.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Gosh, it's been so long since anyone talked like that.
Joining me now. United States Marine and National correspondent with
the Blaze, Julio Rosas. Julio Man, I've out came out
of my chair watching that thing today.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, I almost kind of want to go back if
I didn't have this, this illustrious career of going into
other crazy situations. But I mean, yeah, that speech. I
know some people were saying, oh, it's a waste, what
this could be done over vio conference calls be done
over a meeting, But Jesse, you know how important formations
are in person formations are in the military, and it's yeah,
(17:55):
it was all this, you know, this spectacle was there
was a reason behind that, right to say, we're gonna
bring you wherever you're from, your command is gonna be
the other side of the world. We're gonna bring you
back to d C, to the area so that you
can hear directly from second guy, you know, the guy
in charge of the Department of War, you know close
ally of President Trump, that things are different now, like
(18:15):
we were serious and we mean it, and and you know,
all of the nonsense, all the bs that has been
happening for for a long time, you know pretty you know,
even you know back in the early two thousands that
that's over. And and so I think, you know, it
was a much needed wake up call to the people
above the high brass right and and this this further
(18:38):
exemplifies why you know, a Secretary of Hegseth, was chosen
by President Trump to lead the department because he he
he understands as once an enlisted man himself, and you know,
he was an officer, uh, not not that high of
an officer, but but an officer nonetheless, And so that
that's a much needed perspective, especially as a former enlisted
(18:59):
man myself.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Ull Oh, how could the brass let it get to
the point where they needed a speech like that from
the Secretary of War. So many people who were never
in and don't really realize that that they don't understand
And see that general and he's got all these ribbons,
all these all these ribbons and metals, and he's got
the real shiny collar, and surely that means he's a
warrior for America and a patriot, right, how could he
(19:23):
let this happen?
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Well, actually, it's not that all dissimilar from the talking heads,
except for your Jesse of course, in the media and
and ground reporters. Let you know, because when you're on
the ground and you see things for yourself, whether it's
in a combat situation or in a reporting situation, you
have a much different perspective than someone who is in
the studio or back at you know, the you know,
the this this office, whether it's in DC, at the
(19:46):
Pentagon or some of you know high Command that's in
Europe or you know Tampa for you know, for example.
So it's inevitable, it's inevitable that you're going to lose
some perspective, and that's why you got to have that's
why they have senior enlisted advisors. Right, so even then
that that that's still a high ranking position. And so
I think the reason why is just because they let
(20:06):
it get to that point is just because it's just
the politics. And and yeah, people don't really understand unless
you've been in the military and you've seen it that
once you get to you know, the two three four stars,
things get very very political, very very quickly, because you know,
if you don't support certain things, if you don't get
along with the blob, the swamp of d C and
(20:29):
and the and the industry that supports it, you're not
gonna get anywhere. And you're not gonna get that third
or fourth star. You know, you're not going to get
that high command that you might have been wanting since
you were a cadet at West Point or something. So
it's just the unfortunate, uh, you know, Hubris that that
we've had, because yeah, our track record from these past
(20:49):
you know, from the War on Terror is is you know,
unfortunately it's atrocious. Not necessarily know, it's not because of
the ground guys. You know, they obviously did their part Jess,
you did your part, but it's the high ranking people
that make those tough decisions, and they get when they
get clouded or they get distracted with all this nonsense
of like, oh, we got to have dei hires in
our human resources department as opposed to like, what's that
(21:11):
going to actually like win battles and win wars, people
are going to suffer. And I think, for example, you
know how we ended the war in Afghanistan was the
culmination of all that I mean, that was that that
was decades of mismanagement and and just total uh misdirection
and and mistrust towards the American people. But they couldn't
(21:32):
hide that, you know, they couldn't hide how you know,
us leaving that that country in such a such a
dishonorable way.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Speaking of dei hires, here was Dick Levine.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Hello, I'm Admiral Rachel Levine. Climate change is having a
disproportionate effect on the physical and mental health of black communities.
Black Americans are more likely than white Americans to live
in areas and housing that increase their susceptibility to climate
related health issues, and sixty five percent of Black Americans
report feeling anxious about climate changes impact. Through our Office
(22:09):
of Climate Change and Health Equity and the Office of
Environmental Justice, we're working with providers and community leaders to
identify innovative approaches that empower communities to address to health
consequences linked to climate.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Chain Julio, how much of that is still left in
the military beginnings. It seems to me like Pete Hegseth
has a lot of cleaning up to do.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I would say, there's still a big chunk, and we
saw that. Unfortunately in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk being killed.
There were a lot of uniformed personnel on their social
media pages that are often were times supported by their
command saying the most horrific thing about Charlie and lying
(22:56):
about him and what he said for But because I mean,
I remember during the early days of you know, the
Trump administration and the first term, I had to sign
an understanding. I have signed an agreement with U through
the d D on social media use and that whatever
I posted had to be professional, it had to reflect
good on the service and the department and these people
(23:20):
who have the preferred political leanings and activism. That the blob,
you know, the DC blob has they've been super political,
they've been super uh just unhinged prior to Charlie being killed.
But people didn't really understand it until you know that
they were people where other people were looking for, you know,
who was saying what about Charlie. So there is this
(23:44):
capture that is deeply embedded within the Department of War.
This is just the first step to try to get
that culture to change and get back to the basics.
Which is concerning because it's like, well, why haven't you
guys been focused on this to begin with, Like you're
you're dealing with life and death situations with the security
of not just the country but in many cases of
the world, and really we've only been getting along just
(24:06):
through the inertia that that we've had for you know,
since you know, since the post World War two period
of Vietnam and all that. You know, this isn't desert
storm anymore. I mean that this is this is just
brave new world stuff that requires serious people, and I
think that the Trump administration is doing a good job
(24:26):
to get it just again, just back to the basics.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Final one from me. Trump spoke about fighting the cartels
today and all these guys is what he said.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Together with the leaders here today, we're also restoring and
needed focus on defeating threats in the Western hemisphere. Throughout
this region. Cartel terrs have been allowed to wage a
relentless campaign of death and destruction in our country. Well
because we had weak leadership on time, and we did
(24:57):
a great job with it first term. But this is
something else. What we're doing now, we're taking it to
the next level, probably next level of times three.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Well THEO what does that mean again?
Speaker 5 (25:13):
It means that things are different now that we are
going to be taken seriously and that and that's why
they're drone striking smuggling smuggling boats from Venezuela because we've
been at we were absolutely taking advantage of during the
past four years. The fact that the drug cartels were
able to make more money dealing with human smuggling and
(25:34):
human trafficking than drugs during that period is insane. And
they did that because they know that they were able
to make more money because I was guaranteed there was
no you know, significant loss of quote unquote product. And
so now that we have again serious leadership to safeguard
the homeland, this is what it means. You know again, Jessic,
(25:57):
We've talked about this before where I'm not exactly sure
if it means we're going to, you know, do full
invasion of South America. But something has to change. And
that's why Trump was elected because the status quo, especially
within you know, the Department of you know, the former
Department of Defense, it was a total It was a
total joke. It was a total joke. Everyone saw it,
everyone knew it. But because again is of this going
(26:20):
along to get a long attitude within the halls of
the Pentagon, no one wanted to do anything because there
was their career and so again I think this speech
was which much needed. It was very refreshing. I was
very motivated with it, and I'm not and I've been
out for over four years now, so it's it's I
if I were if I were in, I'd be very happy.
I'll just put it down. I'd i'd be very happy
(26:42):
if I was still in.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
No doubt, who deal. Thank you, boss, appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
All.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Right, Before we go talk to Senator Johnson about the
shut down, I want to talk to you about how
garbage you're all of oil is. It's it's a hard time,
it's just do me. We have to talk about it.
That bottle of olive oil I know you have sitting
over by your stove. You're probably looking at it right now.
I hope you feel guilty because it's bland and it's crappy,
(27:10):
and it's not your fault. It's old. We don't realize
that we buy old olive oil, and we think that
we don't have options. We all get it at the
grocery store. I always did you go to the olive
oil aisle? Was it once a year when you run
out and you go grab just grab a bottle. All
this looks like it comes from Italy. We all do
the same thing. Stop doing that. Get olive oil fresh
(27:31):
from the farm and you're going to taste an amazing difference.
Farm Fresh two four six dot com gets you fresh
from the farm. You don't have to take my word
for it. They'll send you a bottle thirty nine dollars
bottle for a dollar help cover the shipping. Then you'll
see farm Fresh two four to six dot com will
(27:52):
be bad. All right? What's this shutdown stuff all about?
Should I be as excited as I am about the
government no longer being open? Let's ask somebody who will
tell it right. You know, he'll give it to a straight.
Senator Ron Johnson from the state of Wisconsin. Senator, why
(28:15):
should I be upset if the government shuts down? I
know you have to pretend to be upset, But why
should I be mad?
Speaker 8 (28:20):
I don't have to pretend wouldn't hurt my feeling? Listen,
I just I just offer the bill eliminate shutdowns at
and every Democrat vote against it. And unfortunately twelve of
our appropriators, twelve Republican appropriators vote against as well. So
you know, go figure. But no, I you know, the
vast majority of government is deemed essential. Government thinks quite
(28:43):
a bit of itself, so it's deemed essential. It'll remain open.
The part that closes those the government employees will go
off to the spots and take vacations. They'll eventually get
paid again. It's it's one great big charade. We know
how this ends. They're going to, you know, give it
see up against some holiday right before the holiday. Once
(29:04):
the appropriators get all there, you know, their two thousand
page bills done, they'll be dropped on our desks. And
what we'll have less than twenty four hours to pretend
to read it and then vote yes or no. I
generally vote know, but that that's that's the game that's
been played. I've been here for fifteen years, Jesse. In
that time, we should have passed one hundred and eighty
(29:25):
appropriation bills before the start of the next fiscal year. Right,
one hundred and eighty, you know, I mean we've passed six.
We've passed six on time. That's a that's a ninety
six point seven cent failure rate. And yet that the
appropriators who opposed my bill said this bill would undercut
the appropriation process. So maybe we would have only passed
(29:47):
four or five of those things had the prevent or
the Eliminated Shutdown Act been in place. Now it's it's
it's a very sad joke, it is. It's again to
the outside, it looks just functional. No, this is a
very well honed process by the Unit Party to create
these fiscal cliffs. Get the American public all spent up
(30:08):
about the disaster that the government shutdown is, so they
can again they can unravel, They can write and then
unravel and present these multi thousand page on spending bills
that there are always always Democrats will vote for it,
and they can always assemble what I always call the
mcconic coalition of just enough Republicans to join Democrats in
(30:28):
passing their priorities. And let's hope and pray that President
Trump doesn't relent now on their latest gambit. The Democrats
opening salvele here that the House passed and relatively clean
cr again backed up against the Thanksgiving holiday. And I
don't like that because that's setting up the process. But
the Democrats counter that was, well, we'll give you a
(30:49):
four week r and all we're asking for is another
one point five trillion dollars worth of spending and unravel
all the things he did in the one Big Beautiful Bill.
I mean, that's an obviously unseerious offer. My concern is
what they really want is what they could have done
easily when they had control under Biden. They want permanence,
permanence for the temporary pandemic enhanced Obamacare subsidies. And they
(31:17):
want that because Obamacare itself has dramatically increased the cost
of health insurance on individuals. Change and those enhanced subsidies
basically took a lot of people, millions of people that
were getting subsidies. But they also had to chip into
those those insurance plans don't chip in anymore. The result
is you've got unscrupulous agents and brokers who are literally
(31:40):
selling policies the people that don't even know they're getting them.
They're collected commission the insurance companies are collecting the premiums,
billions of dollars of taxpayer money going into policies.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That aren't being used.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
That the people that the policies are written for don't
even know they have them. If any Republican, including the President,
supports extending that fraud, that's what they're doing. They're extending
those substantes. They're perpetuating that massive fraud.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Do you get the sense from the White House that
the President is with us on this? As many good
things as Trump has done, he's frankly disastrous when it
comes to spending items. Is he with us this time?
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Well?
Speaker 8 (32:21):
I know a lot of the political advisors are scared,
you know whatless of being accused of taking healthcare away
from women and children. You know, that's why we didn't
We didn't end the fraud of the nine to one
match under the Obamacare expansion of a Medicaid. We couldn't
touch that they already did too much to medicaid, And yeah,
(32:42):
I'm afraid they are afraid of the demogogue we come
from the Democrats backed up by the media. And listen,
it's a legitimate concern. You know, how affective the Demo
gods the liars are on the left, and how they're
supported by the media. So it's not an illegitimate concern
from a standard when if you want to win the House.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
But no, I am concerned handicap it for us. How
long is the shutdown last? I really don't know.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Listen, If it's just solely up to Democrats, who are
going to be pretty relentless because they know the media
will back them up, it could last quite some time.
It all depends on how soon Republicans might cave. It's
just as simple. It was only up to me. Well,
I would continue to bring up the Eliminate Shutdowns Act,
(33:34):
which just creates fourteen day rolling sea or continuing appropriations,
you know, shutdown government US, find the last year's levels,
and then try and figure out areas of agreement, you know,
like veterans affairs or defense. I mean, there are plenty
of areas where appropriators and a lot of members would
actually agree and pass those one at a time without
all this shutdown threat. Again, the shutdown threat is all
(33:56):
about spending a lot more money than once. You could
actually pass if you did individual appropriation bills, do it
right before Christmas, a two thousand page bill. That's that's
the game that's been played ever since I arrived here
in twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Figures. Senator, Thank you, sir, I appreciate it. That poor guy,
we need to send him some Massive chips. That's what
he needs. He's been there fifteen If you can tell
frustrated he is. He needs to box some Massa chips.
You know what. I'm gonna get a hold of Massa chips.
And I know what you're thinking. Ron Johnson is famously
a guy who cares about his health. I'm gonna have
(34:33):
a salad today. Well, massive chips are They're good? These
aren't these store brand chips that have eight thousand cancer
causing piles of filth in there. You know it's in
Massive chips. It's three ingredients. Three. My wife, the health freak,
eats Massive chips and they're amazing. Several different flavors, corn chips,
(34:56):
potato chips. It's the one chip I can eat where
I'm not going to get the evil eye from. Are
you gonna eat the whole bag? Yes, yes i am.
I'm in a city and I'm gonna da have hot
sauce on it, and I'm gonna eat the whole bag,
and I'm not going to feel bad about it. Trust me.
You get one bag of Massa Chips, try a potato
or two, Try a tortilla or two. You'll never go back.
(35:17):
Massive Chips dot com slash JESSETV. We'll be back.
Speaker 9 (35:29):
I have nothing to apologize for, you know it is
it is a tragedy that Charliekirk was killed in that way.
I feel for his widow and his children. They will
have to live with that for the rest of their lives.
But there is no legacy to honor. It was a
legacy filled with bigotry, hatred, and white supremacy. And as
(35:51):
a black woman and as a Muslim in this country,
I refuse for I refuse to join the chorus that
changes the history of what is on the record from
this man. But I am not going to be bullied
into complacency, into you know, dishonoring who I am and
(36:14):
what I stand for just to you know, make them
feel comfortable. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
What a nasty witch. He was one of the nicest
human beings I ever met in my life. And listen,
which that's exactly why you're going to end up with
somebody like me joining me now. Monica Page, White House correspondent,
also turning point USA. Just a nasty hag. And this
has been unbelievably common since Charlie Kirk was murdered, these
(36:47):
people pretending like he's some barbarian. It's wild to me.
Speaker 10 (36:51):
Yeah, Jesse, she's a disgusting woman. And it's really whorts
my heart to hear Democrats, specifically those like Ilhan Omar
and many of those anti American Democrats who aren't even
from our country to begin with, who are saying these
suspicable things and they don't even know the amazing things
that Charlie Kirk did. He bridged a gap between Republicans
(37:13):
and Democrats in a way that nobody else could. He
touched the hearts and the minds of college students. That's
not an easy thing to do. And every single day
I feel like I'm reminded of the amazing work that
he's done. He's pushed me personally to become not only
a better person, but also a better reporter. He's pushed
me in ways that I don't think I would have
ever been pushed if I worked for anybody else. So
(37:36):
it's going to be a really tough road moving forward.
But it is a job that we are so excited
to do and carry on. And we just cannot listen
to people like ilhanom Or, we can't listen to people
like Don Lemon. We have to keep ignoring that noise,
and we need to keep pushing forward. We have work
to do, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
She mentioned what she stands for against what she stands for,
but she did not elaborate. It's funny how often Communists
do that. What does she stand for, Monica?
Speaker 10 (38:03):
I have no idea what she stands for. I think
she stands for anybody else other than the American people.
And I'm baffled every single day as to how she's
even in our country doing what she's doing. I mean,
this is a woman who's actually married to a white man,
but also married to her brother. Still, this is somebody
who doesn't have any sort of morals or values that
(38:24):
benefit the American people, And quite honestly, I think that
she and other radical leftists are the best thing for
the Republican Party. I mean, President Trump said it best.
People like her, people like Zorra, Mom, Donnie are gifts
to the Republican Party, and we should we should probably
let people like her just keep talking because it's better
for us the more that she speaks.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, maybe I should get her on the show somehow,
I don't think she'll accept that invitation. You mentioned don Lemon,
and you mentioned being married to a white man, and
so that seems oddly appropriate. He came out and said this.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
White men, something is broken, something is cracked deep inside.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
When so many of you believe the answer to.
Speaker 11 (39:08):
Fear, to loss, to change is violence by goud white men,
what the fuck is wrong with you? But you're too
dumb to even realize that, because you're lazy and sitting
in front of a computer or a phone and you're
just eating it up. Oh my gosh, look at what
(39:31):
they're doing. All of a sudden, My heritage is going
to be over that.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I won't.
Speaker 11 (39:36):
I want to live in a country there are white
kids go to white schools, and white people marry each
other what is wrong with that. I want to grow
up in the country that my great grandfather grew up in.
That country doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
All well, I think he said a lot right there, Monica, Yeah,
he said a lot.
Speaker 10 (39:59):
And Jesse, honestly, I think you everybody an apology for
being a white man. You are the enemy. It is
your problem, and it's your fault why we are here
in this spot. I think it's hysterical that Don Lemon
won't call out that it's six percent of the population
that commits half the crimes in our country. And Charlie
Kirk was very vocal in the crime in our country
(40:20):
and who's behind it all? And I am old enough
to remember when Don Lemon spoke about the problems that
the black community were facing, he actually spoke about what
was it. I think it was the top five ways
to fix the African American community, and the number one
thing was fatherlessness. And the fact that he's completely flip
flopped on this and made it about white people was
adding to the division in our country. You should be
(40:40):
ashamed of yourself. He's married to a white man, so
is Elano Omar. And the hypocrisy is on new levels
that I didn't even think could be even reached. And
to his point saying, oh, white people want to be
surrounding themselves with other white people. They want to send
their kids to white schools, they themselves have so segregated.
(41:00):
They want to live in black communities. They want to
send their ChIL to black schools. Specifically, they want to
marry within their own culture. And so what if what
people want the same, that doesn't make us racist, That
just makes us wanting to peet with their own people.
They do the exact same thing, Jesse.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
That's funny how people act when that shoe gets on
the other foot. Okay, let's shift gears here. Because Israel
Gaza is something that's been going on for years, and
I'd see all the poll numbers on this. This is
an issue that most Americans have kind of checked out of.
I realize there are people who care a lot this
way or that way, but most Americans are kind of
checked out on it. Donald Trump wants it to end
(41:38):
once this thing wrapped up so he can move on.
Are we close to getting that done?
Speaker 10 (41:43):
I wish we were, Jesse, because this plan, this new
plan that was just unveiled this week, has really proved
to be phenomenal. He wants to create a peace board
where you know, you have a specific governing force in
the Gazan region to at least try to maintain peace
because you really can't have a strict Palestinian state. We
see what happens when something like that happens. I'm very
(42:05):
curious to see what happens, because Israel apparently agreed to
this deal is waiting on Hamas. But unfortunately, I don't
think a force like Hamas will agree with something like
this because they just strictly just don't care for peace.
And you know, President Trump gave Israel his blessing and saying, listen,
if Amas doesn't want to agree to this, you have
my full approval to do what you need to do
(42:28):
to keep eradicating this problem in the Middle East. You know,
you say a lot of people are kind of tired
of this. I'm one of them. I have serious war
fatigue between Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Hamas. I'm pretty sick of it,
and I'd like to see an end to this. But
a lot of this is very dependent on Hamas and
the only time will tell if this is going to
be again something that could be fixed. But we don't know, Monica.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
I don't sit here and pretend that either of us
can crawl inside the mind of a jihadi like Hamas,
and nor do I really care to. But they can't
continue physically. Their military strength, from what I understand from
my sources, is just evaporated. I don't care how committed
of a Jew hating Jihani you are. If you're out
(43:12):
of guns and you're out of men, the war is over.
What's the plan, right?
Speaker 10 (43:18):
I mean, that's exactly the question that I think is
on everybody's minds, and I think that's the question that
this administration is currently facing, because you know, when you
keep stealing the aid, when you keep you know, using
human shields in the region, you know there's no peace
can ever be done. You're not going to release the hostages,
both dead and alive. You can't reach that next level
(43:38):
of peace in the region. And I think a lot
of this is very much up in the air, unfortunately,
because no matter how many deals you keep going to make,
I don't know if you can even make a deal
with terrorism. You can't make a deal with terrorists at
the end of the day. So I mean, I wish
I had a solution. I wish this administration can come
to a conclusion, but it's got to be a both
sides want to end this war. Clearly one side wasn't.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
All right shifting gears here. Trump came out and the
pharmaceutical industry is all hot on everybody's minds. We're all
tired of paying what we pay, and we think there
are a bunch of crups comebacks. This is what Trump said.
Speaker 12 (44:14):
Adviser has agreed to offer capitalists prescription medications and major
discounts in the United States. There's a result of the
most Favored Nation Drug pricing lender that we established earlier
this year is you know, the United States is thanks
sometimes ten times more than other countries for drugs, and
a lot of excuses were made for that, but went
(44:35):
on for many years, many many years, decades, and it's
not going on any longer.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
We're going to be paying the lowest price. Now, we're
going to be paying whatever the lowest prices favored nations.
This will save American taxpayers and consumers hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
Monica, what's going on here? What is this?
Speaker 10 (44:56):
Well, this is clearly President Trump completely reinventing the part
of pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in the entire pharmaceutical industry. This
new investment from Pfizer, I believe is seventy billion dollars,
which is strictly going to lower the cost. It's going
to bring this manufacturing and producing back to America and
essentially have Americans save more money when they need their medications.
(45:19):
We're going to be paying what other countries have been paying.
And we also know that the President is also he
just announced a new Trump RX government website where you
can literally buy your medications through this new website, completely
cutting out the middleman, which is also fantastic. So the
President is taking a new approach to the way things
have been done for decades. I think this is a
(45:41):
great approach for those that need it. I think that
this is a way that many people will have a
lot have an easier time to getting their medications. I
know over the last four years a lot of people
had some difficulty under the Biden administration, and I'm very
excited and positive to see the President take this new approach.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
Is it still cool working at the White House or
is kind of the bloom gotten off the rose?
Speaker 10 (46:05):
It's still really cool. I mean, you just never know
what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Jesse.
Speaker 10 (46:08):
The President could be on the roof one day, he
could be on the North lawn another day, he could
be coming out from the Oval Office. On any other day,
he could randomly call us into the Oval Office for
a big announcement. So you truly never know what's gonna happen.
I will say under the last administration, the year and
a half that I was working under the Biden administration
here at the White House, it was a snooze fest.
It was very quiet. Nothing was happening. A lid would
(46:31):
be called at two pm. The day would start at
eleven am, because that's just what it was. So that
far got old. But now and you know, she never
know what's going to happen. It's it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Yeah, it's hard to believe Joe Biden would run a
sleepy White House. Monica, thank you come back soon. I
appreciate it. Light in the mood. Next, I'm Trump when
he's gone, specifically, even though sometimes it makes me cringe,
(47:04):
like it makes you cringe, I'm gonna miss him trolling
Democrats on social media. Donald Trump, the President of the
United States of America put this on social media.
Speaker 13 (47:14):
Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes
Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all
of our woke trans bull Not even black people want
to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So
we need new voters. And if we give all these
illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get
(47:34):
them on our side so they can vote for us.
They can't even speak English, so they won't realize we're
just a bunch of woke pieces of you know, at
least for a while until they learn English and they
realize they hate us too.
Speaker 14 (47:53):
And then the King Jefferies try to be mad as
the president. The next time you have something to say
about me, don't cop out through a racist and fake
AI video.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
When I'm back in.
Speaker 14 (48:16):
The Oval office, say it to my face.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Say it to my face. I'll see them all
Speaker 5 (48:29):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
