Speaker 1 (00:05):
You're listening to the Weekend Collective podcast from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So the US election wrapped up this week with a
landslide victory for Donald Trump. It was a bit of
a shock, it seems, as many polsters and reputable forecasters
had predicted the Democrat Democrats would maintain power over the
White House. It's worth remembering just about every prediction wise
it was going to be a knife edge. Well it wasn't.
It was landslide. And former chief of staff for Marco Rubio,
(00:30):
his name is Matt Terrell. He is with us live
from Washington, d C. Good afternoon, hy, great to be
with you, Thanks for joining us. Now it has the
dust settled a little bit, there's still lots of sort
of angst and machinations going on.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Well, look, I think President Trump nine one. Obviously, as
we all know the electoral College, we won the popular vote,
and so to that end, I think this has made
this a bit more of a seamless election than past
elections here in this country. But we saw our seeing votes,
of course come in. We just saw recently, of course,
over the past couple of hours, that President Trump officially
won the state of Nevada. So We're seeing certain things
(01:09):
come in to prouition here related to the election, but
by and large, the American people's attention is now focused
on what will President Trump do once he's sworn in
in January, and right now a lot of it has
to do with the transition. Who is President Trump can
be selecting for senior staff or key cabinet posts. That's
where the bulk of the attention is right.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Now, just before we get into taking that forward look
for the administration. What are your thoughts on the landslide?
Was this an embracing of Trump or was it a
rejection of the Democrats?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You know, I think it's and not or I think
part of it was in a brace scene of President Trump,
and not only President Trump, but of his vision. I
think this election was less about a candidate more about
a vision, particularly his vision on the economy, inflation, and
border security. But also, and I think it's in addition that,
you know, the reality was the Democrat Party and Vice
(02:04):
President Harris we're not resonating with voters out there, particularly
on those issues such as the economy, inflation, and border security.
So the reality is this issue, Excuse me, this election
was really about a vision and I think President Trump
really supposed to a lot of Americans right now. Of
course struggling particulars relates to the economy, inflation. Barrow also
concerned about key issues such as Borio security that really
(02:26):
mattered in this election. And I think in the end
is what really goat President Trump across the finish line
was such a big victory.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So Trump's just joining his campaign. He did have some
rhetoric which seemed to be also focused on retribution. But
will the magnitude of this win, the size of the wind,
does that kind of mollify some of those instincts he
might have and now we going to see a more
magnanimous presidency from Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Well, my gut tells me, and this is just my
opinion for what it's for us. You know, I think
he recognizes that he's got a second chance, and we
all get second chances in life, but this is a
pretty big one and be president again, you know, for
a second time here, that's a big second chance. And
so to that end, I think he's gonna waste no time.
I suspect you know that he recognizes that time is
(03:17):
at the essence and as a president, time is your
amost valuable asset. You have only so much of it.
You have four years to get things done. That may
seem like a long time, but it's really not. And
so look, in the end, I think it's gonna be
focused on delivering for the American people. Look, it's one
thing to go on the campaign trail and talk about
what you're going to do. The hard work thing to
do is actually take action on it and get it done.
And right now all the hard work is coming up
(03:39):
to President Trump and his team. They got to go
out there and deliver for the voters who voted for him,
but appectly for all Americans in this election, name around,
those core issues relate to the economy, inflation, and bor security,
and that's not going to be easy. But President Trump
is gonna have a Republican Congress, certainly with the Senate,
and it looks like likely the House Representative be go
in the Republican way. That's going to help him, frankly,
(03:59):
have an open field to get things done in advance
his policies. So I think he's gonna be busy, frankly
with getting things done on the domestic agenda as well
as the peign policy agenda.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Okay, looking ahead to the appointments, so you really have
to his cabinet tell us about Susie Wilds is the
first ever a woman chief of staff as well.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Well, she's a great pick. You know, I've worked in
Florida politics, and Susie Wilds has spent a great deal
of time working in Florida politics herself, you know, working
for key individuals like Governor Rond Decentis, Senator Rick Scott
and of course President Trump. And she has been with
President Trump for a number of years now, going back
to his twenty sixteen campaign. So look, she's well known
(04:40):
by President Trump, I think, trusted and respected by him,
and he sunk for with her. And the reality is
the cheapest stabb job. It's an important job, certainly in
terms of the today tactical elements of the job, but
the reality is the president has to be comfortable with
that individual because the cheapest staff is the person the
president sees really when they first arrived at the old
office in the morning and often to the last person
(05:02):
they see when they leave the old office. And really,
Susie Wilds as someone that President Trump not only respects
and trust, there's a great deal of comfort with And second,
I would just say she did a fantastic job maybe,
you know, navigating very very tough waters here in this
past election. I think a lot of credit goes to
her and the entire Trump campaign for the kind of
campaign that they ran. Certainly they won, and the credit
(05:25):
goes now to President Trump. But there's a great team
they had as well.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Well, looking ahead to that team, who is the next
what is the most significant appointment where we're going to
be looking for next?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, I think right now a lot of attentions for
it from the foreign policy froud. You know, obviously Americans
are well attuned it's going on to domestic issues here
in the country, but a lot of Americans and people
in the nation worldwide excuse me, are turning to the
global stage, particularly relates to the Ukraine Russia topic, and
of course Middle East policy as well. So I suspect
there's a lot of attention on the Secretary of State
(05:59):
role as well as other key foreign policy positions that
are going to be open in President Trump is going
to have to fill. So look, I think right now
it's not just the senior staff you've got to fill out, obviously,
it's the cabinet. But the good news I think for
the Trump team is that this is a well organized machine.
You know, this is cranently much more organized and discipline
than what it was is the first go around when
(06:19):
President Trump was first elected in twenty sixteen. Clearly this
is much more well organized. You've had this transition in
place for quite some time now. The transition doesn't just
start after election day. It's in motion in the leadup
to election day. You know, a couple of key figures
in Trump worlds have been leading this for a number
of months now, so I'm sure they've been already thinking
through who they can recruit to join the team. No
(06:41):
only on the domestic team, but on the foreign policy
team as well.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Who are your picks for Secretary of Defense and Secretary
of State or the or the leading in candidate.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Or two well, not president or president lest you yeah, no, no,
I get you, I get you. No obvious, there's a
lot of great names being floated, you know, certainly Center
Marco Rubio and others have been floated for a number
of positions out there. I'll just tell you this, I
think it's gonna be an a and oud or approach
(07:12):
to who president like Trump selects for his team, it's
ultimately his decision. But I think it's goun be some
people obviously from his first term that he trust, respects
and those and then I think it will certainly have
some new faces to this administration. I also think it's
gonna be people not just from the government or Capitol Hill,
but from the private sector as well. And you've seen that,
of course with people like Elon Musk, who may not
(07:33):
have an official role in the government, but it's gonna
be tasked at least it sounds like like a least
tasked with helping to cut the deficit debt. So obviously
I think you're to see key players from the private
sector joined the administration, maybe in a formal capacity or not,
but the rareties. I think President Trump's cana have a
great team around him. I think he learned a lot
of lessons out of the last go around. He's been
(07:53):
public about saying there are some people he may have
not hired, some people he liked that he hired in
his first term, something that he didn't, but he gets
a second chance here and I think they're much this
is a far you know, much more or disciplined operation
than the past. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Is that discipline does that come from him or does
that come from the people behind, like the Susie Wilds
and other people who are part of that sort of
support network.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I think it's all of them. Look, I'll just tell
you this is just my opinion. I think that President
Trump has learned a lot of lessons out of his
first term, in that first transition, and you get better
over time, whether it's being you know, an athlete, or
being a candidate, or being the president elect or the
next president. You know, he's been president now, so he
knows the job the president far better than he did
when he's first entering the oval office a number of
(08:40):
years ago in his first term. So, in addition Susie Wilds,
Howard Lutnik, you know, Elena McMahon, there's a lot of
people around him who he trusts and respects, are who
are very talent, to people who are helping the guide
the ship. It's a team effort at the end of
the day, whether it's the transition or running the White House,
it's a team effort. I think he's going to have
a great team on the field, is going to help
him advance his.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
General internationally speaking, let's look at Israel. How much of
a change will we see, are you from one administration
to the next?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, likely some significant changes. I mean, look, you know,
I certainly President Trump was out there on the campaign trail,
and that's candidate Trump on the campaign trail just over
the past few months, talk about he does not want
any new wars, talking about how he wants to bring
leaders to the negotiation table, and you know, similarize suspect
to what he did, what he went over to North
Korea and met with the North Korea leader, you know,
(09:31):
really focusing on negotiations like he did in his first term.
So I think you're going to see right now a
real emphasis and on a spotlight brank that what he's
going to do on the foreign policy stage and what
he has said during the campaign trail is a couple
of clients. One he's not want any new wars and
number two that he wants to bring people to the
negotiation table. Now we'll see what that all means and
how that all works. But certainly he has to deliver
(09:53):
on all that. It's one thing to say things from
the campaign trail. Now he's got to go on and deliver,
and you know, those who vote for him particular are
confident that he.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Will, I guess because he's been talking about trying to
push for a peaceful solution in New Crying, which is
one thing. But on the other side, he's got Israel,
where Knit and Yahoo will be very happy because he's
going to get the support to keep prosecuting hamasd Any
optimism on your side in terms of seeing a settlement
in Israel between Hamas and.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Israel, well, we'll see. I mean, obviously at the President Trump,
how he wants to go and handle those negotiations and
what he will do to promote peace and prosperity not
just here at home but across the world. And obviously
it relates to the Ukraine, Catholical with Russia, and also
to your point, other elements such as Middle East policy.
So we'll see how they'll take the shape. I'm certainly
(10:41):
optimistic that Bear days are to come both here United
Face but also on the global stage. There's also things
we're not necessarily talking about, but obviously i Ran is
in the mix here as well. Certainly you've talked about
maximum pressure policy, re enacting that I think there's gonna
be a lot of things that parting on foreign policy
that he will go in and act. That would be
(11:02):
kind of picking up where he left off from his
first term on Iran. The sanctions and maximum pressure may
farewell be one of those policies. Iran is something to
watch here as well. Well.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Actually, I was going to ask you about around from the
point of the view of that assassination plot, how do
you think that has said? What's the lightest on that
in terms of the United States responding to that?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, first of all, a tremendous credit to those in
the United States and intelligence agencies and other agencies, the
FBI who stopped that plot, and a big applause of them.
But look, I think the reality is when you have
someone in President Trump who has had very forceful sanctions
and policies against Iran, Unfortunately some of these things are
(11:43):
out there and it's very unfortunate obviously for all of
our leaders, whether it's President Biden, will put President like
Trump or leaders on both sides of local whisle. We
want all of our leaders to be safe. And the
reality is this is obviously a dangerous time on the
global stage, and person Trump is out there campaign on
key themes. Some of that was really, of course Iran.
Some of those sanctions bring back back some Sure, we'll
(12:05):
see how that all plays out. But the reality is
this is the president elect in President Trump. President Trump.
We talked about not why new wars. That's something I
think he's gonna work to champion, certainly once he gets
into office.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Lucky, last question, he's pledged to get rid of all
legal immigrants pretty quickly. That does sound like a promise
that's going to be difficult to deliver in any sort
of with in heist, Should I say, what's your take
on how much you'll be able to deliver on that promise?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, I think it's different now. There's a different environment
than a couple of years ago. We're putting in his
first term. You know, right now, he's got a mandate.
You know, he won the electoral college, he won the
popular vote. He's got control of the Senate with the
Republicans in the Senate and likely controlled the House as well.
And so to that end, I do think he'll be
able to go and push forward the key policies that
he campaign on on, which one of those being immigration
(12:56):
and border security and mass deportation, and so look, I
think he's going to likely go in on day one
and not only push forward mass deportation, but also push
forward with We're staking Title forty two as well as
remain in Mexico policy. Many of these are policies that
came from his first term. I think you're going to
see him take action on that. And I think the
answer your question, it is something where the American people
(13:17):
voted on this, and part of his platform was talking
about immigration and bor security. I think the majority of
American is expecting to act on border security. I think
you'll have to see him likely take ship on that
and take effect on that starting day one of his presidency.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Excellent. I thank you so much for your time, Matt,
I really appreciate it.

optimism on your side in terms of seeing a settlement
in Israel between Hamas and.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Israel, well, we'll see. I mean, obviously at the President Trump,
how he wants to go and handle those negotiations and
what he will do to promote peace and prosperity not
just here at home but across the world. And obviously
it relates to the Ukraine, Catholical with Russia, and also
to your point, other elements such as Middle East policy.
So we'll see how they'll take the shape. I'm certainly
(10:41):
optimistic that Bear days are to come both here United
Face but also on the global stage. There's also things
we're not necessarily talking about, but obviously i Ran is
in the mix here as well. Certainly you've talked about
maximum pressure policy, re enacting that I think there's gonna
be a lot of things that parting on foreign policy
that he will go in and act. That would be
(11:02):
kind of picking up where he left off from his
first term on Iran. The sanctions and maximum pressure may
farewell be one of those policies. Iran is something to
watch here as well. Well.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Actually, I was going to ask you about around from the
point of the view of that assassination plot, how do
you think that has said? What's the lightest on that
in terms of the United States responding to that?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, first of all, a tremendous credit to those in
the United States and intelligence agencies and other agencies, the
FBI who stopped that plot, and a big applause of them.
But look, I think the reality is when you have
someone in President Trump who has had very forceful sanctions
and policies against Iran, Unfortunately some of these things are
(11:43):
out there and it's very unfortunate obviously for all of
our leaders, whether it's President Biden, will put President like
Trump or leaders on both sides of local whisle. We
want all of our leaders to be safe. And the
reality is this is obviously a dangerous time on the
global stage, and person Trump is out there campaign on
key themes. Some of that was really, of course Iran.
Some of those sanctions bring back back some Sure, we'll
(12:05):
see how that all plays out. But the reality is
this is the president elect in President Trump. President Trump.
We talked about not why new wars. That's something I
think he's gonna work to champion, certainly once he gets
into office.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Lucky, last question, he's pledged to get rid of all
legal immigrants pretty quickly. That does sound like a promise
that's going to be difficult to deliver in any sort
of with in heist, Should I say, what's your take
on how much you'll be able to deliver on that promise?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, I think it's different now. There's a different environment
than a couple of years ago. We're putting in his
first term. You know, right now, he's got a mandate.
You know, he won the electoral college, he won the
popular vote. He's got control of the Senate with the
Republicans in the Senate and likely controlled the House as well.
And so to that end, I do think he'll be
able to go and push forward the key policies that
he campaign on on, which one of those being immigration
(12:56):
and border security and mass deportation, and so look, I
think he's going to likely go in on day one
and not only push forward mass deportation, but also push
forward with We're staking Title forty two as well as
remain in Mexico policy. Many of these are policies that
came from his first term. I think you're going to
see him take action on that. And I think the
answer your question, it is something where the American people
(13:17):
voted on this, and part of his platform was talking
about immigration and bor security. I think the majority of
American is expecting to act on border security. I think
you'll have to see him likely take ship on that
and take effect on that starting day one of his presidency.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Excellent. I thank you so much for your time, Matt,
I really appreciate it.
