Speaker 1 (00:02):
Joe Biden has emerged from hiding. He did a little interview.
We'll talk about that. Cash Betel made a big announcement.
We'll talk about the low TGP doing us wrong again.
Ned Ryan is here. All that and more coming up.
But I'm right. What are you gonna do when you retire?

(00:28):
We'll get to Joe Biden. This is about to be
Joe Biden for a few minutes. But what do you
think about when you retire? I'm only forty three. I
think about it. I'm not retiring. Don't worry. I'm not
going anywhere. I love what I do. I'm the most
blessed person in the world. But I thought about it.
What am I gonna do when I retire? You want
to know what I'm gonna do. I have plans, big plans.
I'm gonna get a house wherever the grandkids happen to

(00:51):
be Lord willing, I have some by then, and I
am gonna have hopefully an acre or two. You know,
I don't need anything big, just a little bit of
space so the neighbors not paying on the side of
my house, but close enough to the grandkids so I
can go to whatever sports games or concerts or whatever
thing they're going to do, And that's what I'm gonna

(01:11):
do in retirement. See I already I've thought about it.
It's not similar to yours or whatever. Maybe you're gonna
travel the world, buy an RV, but you have plans
for a retirement. That's what normal people do, That's how
normal people think. But then there's these politicians. I'll never
get it, really celebrities in general, but politicians it seems

(01:32):
to really plague them. They can't ever just go away
when when you're older and financially able to do so,
don't you want to just go away and go enjoy
your family and go enjoy your life in some way
like you're planning on, like I'm planning on. Nope. Joe
Biden has emerged from hiding, the former president who's obviously

(01:57):
on the back nine of his life. And let's be honest,
he can see the clubhouse from where he's at. Joe
Biden has emerged from hiding to do a sit down
television interview. Now, what's the motivation behind it? Well, this
is about Jill Biden. Let's do a system talk before
we get to Joe Biden coming out. Remember, the system
takes care of its own. If you are a loyal

(02:20):
member of the system, you are never out of work,
out of a job. You may transition from this job
to that job, from this sector to that sector, but
you're never out of a job. As long as you're
a Communist in the United States of America, a Democrat
in good standing in the United States of America, you
will work for the White House, and then when that

(02:41):
election is over, when that presidency is over, you'll work
for MSNBC. And then when that's over, maybe you'll go
work for Harvard for a while. This is how this works.
These people never go into the private sector to actually
contribute anything to our country, to our society at all.
They just find new, innoventive ways to bloodsuck money out
of the taxpayer because they're good standing members of the system.

(03:05):
Jill Biden, you didn't think she was just going to
retire as the first lady with private security and money
and everything she could ever want. You didn't think she
was going to retire. She got a sweet new gig.
She's running the women's health network at the Milken Institute.
Now you don't know what any of that is. You
don't know what the Milkin Institute is. You don't know

(03:26):
what the Women's Health Network is. Neither do I, But
let me spoil it for you because I don't have
to look it up at all. The Milkin Institute, without
even looking it up, I would be willing to bet
as staffed by all Democrats. It finds ways to raise
large sums of money from either donors or maybe even
the taxpayer themselves, and it serves as a slush fund

(03:49):
to hand out money to Communist Party members in good
standing members like Jill Biden. And because Joe Biden loves
the spotlight, she's not just going to take a gig
like that and bring in god knows how much money
a year, million a year, a half million a year.
I'm sure they're treating her quite quite well. She has
to go drag poor old poppy Joe out for an

(04:10):
interview to help get her more publicity. Now let me
go ahead and spoil it for you. Here. It's a
BBC interview and it's the most edited softball thing in
the world. They were never they're not going to take
any chances with poor old Joe at this point. Even then,
he couldn't get through the thing.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I do fear a little bit. And I don't think
it's been forgotten by the people. I think it's being
forgotten by the leadership a little bit. Excuse my cough.
The fact is that, well he doesn't say it is,
and I think the rest of the world I know.
And I can tell you the last meeting of the

(04:52):
G seven, meeting of NATO seven anyway, or the G twenty,
which is a lot group. No, they know a point.
Look you have of all NATO nations.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
So back to what we were talking about. Why is
he here? Joe Biden is an old man US senator
for a long time United States president for four years.
Sadly we all suffered through that. But as far as
resumes go, pretty good one for life. He has a wife, children,

(05:31):
such as they are grandchildren at least the ones he
acknowledges as a family, has a place. From what I understand,
he loves spending time on that rich person place Nantucket
out there. Why did they dress him up, put makeup
on him, throw him in a suit and let him
go embarrass himself again? Because these people can't ever go away.

(05:52):
I find it to be so odd. None of them
have Your retirement plans are my retirement plans. I don't
understand it. Just go away. He's still talking about the
twenty twenty four election.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Should you have withdrawal earlier, giving someone else up to
get your Oh.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
I don't think it would have.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Mattered. We left at a time when we were we
had a good candidate, she's fully funded. And what happened
was I had become what I what we had set
out to do no one thought we could do, and

(06:33):
become so successful or in our agenda it was hard
to say now I'm gonna stop now. I know when
I said when I started that, I think it's I
I I'm prepared to hand this to the next generation.
It's a transition government. But it things moved so quickly
that it made it difficult to walk away. To get

(06:55):
and uh it was a uh it was a hard decision.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
But regrets.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
No, I think it was the right decision. I think
that the uh, well, it was just a difficult decision.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
But you shouldn't have taken it at it well, I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I don't think. I don't think so. I mean, I
don't know how that would have made much difference.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, that clears everything up. If he was president and
this is edited. He's not even a candidate anymore. There's
there's nothing, nothing else. This was just as controlled as
he could get. And that guy was just president for
four years. Every answer is sit there trying the best
he could make his mind work. He's even got the

(07:49):
squinty thing going. I've been anyway. He did talk about Trump.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
When you talk of a threat to democracy, worry about
a threat to democracy here here in the United States.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I'm less concerned about that than I was, because I
think the Republican Party is waking up to what Trump
is about.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Do you think they may fight back?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I think at the beginning of yes, but.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
You will know people see laws apparently being broken, courts ignored,
Congress sidelined.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
And like what they see.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, I think they're seeing that too. I think that's
why you're lill succeed in that effort.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Now, that was the most revealing part of the interview.
Notice what he said right there, and did you see
the look on his face. Republicans are starting to push back.
He's right about that. Notice how pleased it makes them.
So let's do a little analogy here before we talk
about those Republicans, because I know you're angry about the

(09:01):
communist infiltration of your country and every aspect of your life,
every part of the government. And I know you want
it stopped, and you're also probably looking for answers about
how this happened. So I want you to picture a
security guard. I use this analogy on the radio the
other day, security guard who's in charge of guarding a school, kindergarten.

(09:21):
And every single day at this school, ten bad guys
show up to hurt the kids, and a security guard
stops nine of them, but the tenth one every single
day he lets him in on purpose and he hurts
the kids. Let me ask you something. Is that a
good security guard? He stops ninety percent of the band guys?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
No.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I think we both agree that he's an evil piece
of trash who's pretending to do his job, but the
fact that he's screwing over the kids makes him evil.
That's the GOP, that's the Republican Party. It's certainly people
like Senator Naked Kendall James Lang of Oklahoma. You see,
I want you to know something. If you're angry about
the state of things in Washington, d C. The state

(10:07):
of communist infiltration inside the United States, government. Yes, the
Democrats are the communists who are doing the infilt trading,
but it is the establishment GOP that holds the door
open for them when it really matters, so they can
infield trade and walk right into the school. Would you
like to know wou Would you like a face for that?

(10:29):
Here's a face for that.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
What's been confusing on this is some people see due
process like as an American citizen, that's a right to
a jury trial, that's all those different things. That's not
true for due process for someone who's not a citizen
in the United States. It's a different process. It's often
just literally what people call it. Immigration judge is not
a typical federal judge or a state judge. This is
someone that's in the bureaucracy that their task for DHS

(10:54):
is that task on it. So they're a government employee
career that's an immigration judge.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
So it's a very different process for it.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
But yes, there's a need to be able to give
an opportunity for someone to be able to make an
argument before they're removing in the country. It's just who
is that and what is that process?

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yes, I realized the communists brought in twenty million people.
I James Langford tried to help them bring in more.
Remember that man stood with Democrats trying to pass an
amnesty bill last year, giving Democrats cover on the issue.
And now that the Trump administration is trying desperately to
get these people out, we have United States senators from

(11:34):
Red States going on television talking about the need for
due process for all these illegals. Of course, of course
it is Red state GOP senators that are holding the
door open for communists to destroy this country. Look at
Ed Martin. Look at this Ed Martin situation right now.
Ed Martin needs to be the top dog, the top

(11:55):
US attorney in the DC area. That DC court system
is the most evil court system in the history of
this country. It is on par with the evils of
the Soviet Union's court system. That's how bad it is there,
and so it must be cleaned out. Ed Martin's there
trying to get it cleaned out. We have a GOP senate.
Why isn't he being cleared because Red State Senator Tom

(12:18):
Tillis is stopping it, which of course begs the question,
where's leader John Thune at Why isn't John Thune getting
this whole thing in order. John Thune was asked about it.
John Thune chose to well, this is in politics known
as punting the football. Just handed it back to the committee.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
And Marvin obviously is a AIG decision.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Is going to have the.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Shirt meeting or weer Steve, he's the unstable anything on
that yet, So you know.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
We will probably attun only compute.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's ulting the decision to initiate.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Les fils. Hey, it's up to the Judiciary Committee. Of course,
he knows Tom Tillis on the Udhary Committee is going
to blow the entire thing up. But they're all trying
to do the dance. Let's stop any real reforms. We
want to stop anything. Hey, we don't want anything to change,
but we don't want to risk Trump's wrath either. John

(13:16):
Cornyan sat on the sidelines. John Cornan has a primary
next year, a primary he's currently losing according to the polls.
He sat on the sidelines with this whole Ed Martin
thing right up to the point where he found out
Tom Tillis was going to blow up the nomination. Then
he came out and supported Ed Martin. So it's not
to risk Trump's wrath that's how it works in DC.

(13:36):
The Republican Party, namely GOP senators from Red States are
the ones holding the door open for communism. Remember that
all that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right.
We'll talk to Ned Ryan about this and many other
things in just a moment. Let me talk to you
about why your feet hurt. Your feet hurt at the
end of the day because your shoes suck. That's why

(13:58):
your knees hurt. That's why you're your shoes are not
They're not absorbing all the shock of you walking around
on those feet. So your feet are absorbing and your
knees and your back. That's what Gediphi is all about.
Gravity to fire their shoes with special technology in them,
the technology that takes all the burden off your feet,

(14:20):
your knees, my legs feel so much better at the
end of the day, I so much more energy. I
want to move instead of just oh, get off my
feet no more. Do you want a good deal on
the texts? Jesse to nine one eight eight gets you
a big fat discount Jesse to nine one eight eight
will be back well ed, Martin. Being in there is

(14:50):
a really, really, really important thing and it doesn't look
like it's going to happen. And again, as we talked about,
it's not going to happen because Tom tillis a Red
State Republican senator stopping the entire thing. So what is
it about Ed Martin in the rule he's supposed to fill.
What is it? It's not January sixth None of these
dorks actually care about that. It's got to be something else.

(15:11):
Joining me now, Ned, Ryan, he is the executive producer
of a documentary. I hope you've already watched American Leviathan.
It's free, It's freaking free. It's amazing. American Leviathan. Highly
recommend it. Ned. What's Tom Tillis's problem with Ed.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Martin besides the fact he's a weak puke? This to
me is one of the things Jesse, I know you've
been doing this a lot on X. I fully agree
with you that it's really time for the Red State
to upgrade a lot of these senators in the primaries
next year, whether it's Tom Tillis in North Carolina. It's

(15:50):
too bad that we don't have another shot at a
primary until twenty thirty with James Langford. But we do
have a shot at Cassidy in Louisiana. We've obviously got
a shot at Corning in Texas. I would argue Lindsey
Graham and South Carolina and Jony Earns should also be
considerations for primaries in twenty six because this is the
part that discussed me the most. Donald Trump won in November.

(16:11):
Because of Donald Trump. I truly believe this. Republicans have
majorities in both the House and the Senate. Donald Trump won.
He won the presidency against all the odds, and while
I consider one of the greatest political comebacks ever Jesse,
he won.

Speaker 6 (16:26):
He gets his nominees.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I don't care if you dislike his nominees, hate his nominees,
don't think his nominees are the best guests who won
Donald Trump. Donald Trump has put up ed Martin to
be the US Attorney for the District of Columbia. He
is the acting attorney at this moment. The term expires
on May nineteenth. Why does Tom Tillis hate Ed Martin
so much? And let me explain a little bit what

(16:51):
the problem is. There are twenty three members of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, twelve Republicans, eleven Democrats. If Tom Tillis
sides to go through with not voting for Ed Martin.
He will not make it out of committee and get
to the floor of the Senate for a vote. I
mean this to me is one of those things where
do vote him out of Judiciary get it to a

(17:12):
floor vote. And I actually think what Tom Tillis is doing,
Jesse is probably protecting a handful of other Republicans who
really don't want to vote for Ed Martin, and they're
making Tom Tillis jump on the grenade because I do
think they are in some ways worried about jan six.
I would actually push back a little bit on that
because I do think they don't really want to have
a full conversation about the FEDCE direction what actually.

Speaker 6 (17:34):
Happened that day.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
But the other reason, I think this is really one
of those things the swamp creatures don't really want reform
to come to the swamp, and the US Attorney for
the District of Columbia, which Ed Martin would be, actually
has a lot to do with draining the swamp, reforming
the swamp, reforming the various departments and agencies that I
think are deeply corrupt.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Jesse.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I think they like the status quo and I think
they deeply resent Donald Trump. I think they deeply resent
the idea that the swamp should actually be drained.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
And the role of the US.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
District of the Attorney for the District of Columbia is
a very key role in the draining of the swamp,
and I think that's one of the reasons they're fighting
Ed Martin.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Well, Tilla's made it pretty obvious. I mean, when he
was asked why he wasn't going to support him, Tilla's
flat out said if he was going for any other
US attorney position, I probably would, but since it's for DC,
I can't do it. What is it? What is it
about this role that protects the swamp? What do they do? Man?

Speaker 6 (18:32):
Well?

Speaker 4 (18:33):
The district attorney for the district, the US Attorney for the.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
District of Columbia.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
I mean, he's involved with approving a lot of FBI investigations,
a lot of the reform efforts that would go through
the DOJ, they would go through Ed Martin's office. Right
there are a lot of people are deeply comfortable, very
comfortable with the status quo of how DC is operated
for decades, and I appreciate the shout out for America
Leviathan documentary. It's really been going on for over one
hundred years. They don't want to see this change. And

(19:01):
the foundation for the swamp that Trump wants to drain
is the administrative state, and the corruption that runs rampant
inside the administrative state is where Ed Martin's office would
actually be dealing with. And oh, by the way, too,
the other parts of this that Ed would bring to
the table. Jesse, I mean he wants to make DC
safe again. I live an hour outside of DC. I

(19:21):
think the thing that's kind of appalling to me is
that Ed Martin's made it very clear I want to
make DC safe again. And you got Tom Tillis sitting
up there going by January sixth. Ed Martin was one
of the first guys to come out and defend the
January sixth people that were unfairly prosecuted by Matthew Graves,
the previous district attorney US attorney for the District of Columbia,

(19:44):
and Ed Martin was fighting that. And now he gets
to go in and actually set things right not only
with January sixth, but also the corruption inside Washington, d C,
which is rampant.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I think then let's switch gears a little bit and
talk that draining of the swamp. It places like the
State Department, the Pentagon EPA. I realize this is not
a snap your fingers and make it happen thing because
all the protections these vile little communists have. But how
are we doing so far with that?

Speaker 4 (20:15):
I think we have made significant strides in the first
hundred days. It appalls me when I see people on
X whining and complaining that somehow Cash Bettel and Dan
Bongino haven't already fixed the FBI. I mean, this is
years of corruption in the making. This is a heavily
politicized agency with the FBI, and they think that somehow,
less than one hundred days, because Bongino obviously is not

(20:37):
there for the full hundred first hundred days, that somehow
is going to be fixed and rectified. Like, guys, give
it a hot second, let them cook. This is something
where it really frustrates me with the grassroots who I
work with closely with America Majority like be patients. Donald
Trump won, but Donald Trump winning in November on November
fifth is just the beginning of the solution. Fact, I

(21:00):
would argue Jesse his winning and giving us a four
year window is just kind of the end of chapter one.
If we're being honest, like this is not going to
be fixed in four years. I think we could go
a long ways towards getting it fixed. But I think
you'd have to have political power for a total at
least twelve years, with the right people in the right
place implementing the right policies to truly bring about a
restoration of representative governments, in breaking a part of the

(21:23):
administrative state and fully draining the swamps. So guys, let's
get behind who's there. Could you ask for anybody better
than Cash Mittel and Dan Bongino with the FBI, And
I think you're seeing a lot of these different nominees
vest in at Treasury, all these these nominees and people
that have now been confirmed starting to put in place
the reform items that Donald Trump has wanted. But let's

(21:45):
be realistic. We didn't get here overnight. We're not going
to solve this overnight. The last thing I want to say, though,
really quick, Jesse about Ed Martin. He is not confirmed
by May nineteenth, when his term is acting, guess who
gets to appoint his successor Judge Boseberg, who has been

(22:07):
front and center in fighting the Trump agenda on a
whole host of series, specifically on deporting illegal aliens. You
really want that guy to be appointing Ed Martin's successor,
Tom Tillis should be deeply ashamed of himself. I mean,
I know he's already got one primary challenger. I hope
that there are maybe one or two others that are
fully funded that can take him out in a primary

(22:29):
and set the tone and say, if you are going
to fight on behalf of the swamp, we inside the
GOP have no need for you anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, let's hope so, Ned, I know it takes time.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Where do we go after Trump is done? My question, Mike,
and I ask it this way. I realize the Democrat
Party is unpopular because there are a bunch of rude,
ugly freaks and nobody wants them anymore. But right, Donald
Trump has been the seminal figure, the central figure of
the GOP for now decade. That's how long it's been. Right,
what happens when he's gone?

Speaker 4 (23:05):
I would argue the next three years about it is
who will take up the mantle of who will be
a strong advocate that firmly believes in America First, and
I think the one that really stands the chance to
either take up the mantle or fail at is obviously
JD Vance. And I think JD is moving in the
right direction. Has he fully sealed the deal with the base,

(23:27):
the America First base, I don't think so. Is he
headed in the right direction? I do believe that. I
think twenty twenty six is going to be a real
test for him, Jesse. He's been made the finance chair
of the R and C. Obviously in the first midterm
of a president's first term. Again, it's a little unusual
Donald Trump, since it's not successive terms, but usually the
midterms don't go well, and so I think JD has

(23:50):
a real test in front of him if he can
somehow manage to keep the House in a GOP majority,
and obviously the Senate. I think he continues to set
him up himself up to be the successor in twenty eight.
But you know, there's three years, which is like, I
don't know, twenty political lifetimes away from from here.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
No doubt it. I just assumed we were gonna get
killed in the midterms, Matt, just because that's always how
it goes. Do you not think that.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
I think the Senate map looks a lot better for
us than people want to acknowledge. I've also looked at
the House map. It's gonna be tough, Jesse gonna it's
I think right now it's a coin toss for the
House majority. Looking at these districts where they are and
some of the margins.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
I don't think.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
It's as done a deal as some people might think
that Republicans are going to lose the majority. Is it
going to be an all out battle, Royale? Is it
a legitimate shot that we could keep a narrow majority
in the House. Yeah, I think we've got a legitimate
shot looking at the numbers, because I've already I've already
started doing the research on what our twenty twenty six

(24:53):
plans should be with American majority action. I'm not overly confident.
I want to make that very clear. I don't think
it's a done deal will keep the House majority, but
it is not out of the question.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Nett As always, I appreciate your brother come back soon,
all right, the spending spending bill, chip Roy has some
things to say. We're gonna let Hip have his say
his piece here in just a moment before we get
with Chip, we talked to you about sleeping. Sleeping well

(25:28):
changes your whole life. It's not eight hours, it's it
really determines how your whole life is going to go,
how you're gonna feel at work, home, play. Did you
sleep well the night before? Dream Powder from Beam guarantees
you will sleep well and without drugs. That's really important
to me. I realize that every doctor has a prescription

(25:49):
for something that will put you to sleep. Every pharmacy,
gas stations sell the stuff. Well, I'll just buy this
and don't do that natural things. A cup of hot chocolate.
That's dream powder. We'll put you to sleep and you
will wake up feeling great. Up to forty percent off
at shotbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly, we'll be back.

(26:18):
All right, let's get ugly here. Let's talk about the
freaking spending in this country, which is a disaster. And
we know Chip will shoot us straight like he always does,
whether or not it's comfortable joining me now, a great
congressman from the state of Texas. Chip, it's not you.
It's not you that I'm down about. I just see
a big screw job coming because we have a big,
beautiful bill, which is anything, but what's happening, what's gonna pass?

(26:42):
It all sucks.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
I begger when you said let's get ugly.

Speaker 7 (26:47):
Now that I thought it was just you know, I
have a face for radio and you're being pretty blunt
about it. But you know, uh, that's all good. I
can take it. You know, DC is Hollywood for ugly people,
and I'm used to it.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
It's cool. So look, here's the deal. I'll cut to
the chase.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
We all want to deliver on what the President ran on, right,
I do most of the people that I represent America
first agenda. Let's do what we need to do to
cut taxes. Yes, extend the tax cuts, but we have
to deliver on the spending side. President's been serious about that.
He talks about it in the inaugural address. But of
course Republicans are never serious about that. So we've set
this up and we're having this fight right now within

(27:27):
the party about how to get there. I have been
very purposeful in not drawing red lines, right. I have
not said, well, if I don't get this, I won't
vote for the bill. If I don't get this, I
won't vote for the bill, because for me, I'm trying
to figure out what we need to do to get
two hundred and eighteen Republicans rallied together to actually deliver.

(27:49):
But here are the sticking points. We have Medicaid reform,
which is necessary. Now let me be very clear about that.
The House budget increases spending on Medicaid. Okay, it increases
spending by twenty five percent over the decade. Yet everybody's
running around saying, oh, oh, we can't cut medicaid. We
can't cut Medicaid. Only in DC is a reduction in

(28:12):
the increases a cut. But by reducing those increases we
can actually save a pretty significant amount of money to
try to get to balance. Let me say one more
point on that. There's something that I'm not going to
nerd out on too much for your listeners to bore them,
but something called FMP which is the rate at which

(28:32):
the federal government is funding this program rather than the states.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
The able body.

Speaker 7 (28:38):
That is that we're expanded under Obamacare, which we all
campaigned against, which we all opposed just a few years ago.
That expansion population gets ninety cents on the dollar, ninety
percent from the federal government. Here you go, all of
that money compared to fifty to seventy percent for the
vulnerable population, the sick, the single moms, the elderly, the

(28:59):
people who are actually vulnerable. And we can debate all
of this, but in what universe should we be giving
more for able bodied people under medicaid than those who
were vulnerable and sick? Under what world should we be
giving more to people on medicaid than we do on medicaid?
In what world should we be giving people money on
medicaid if they're not eligible for it or if they're illegal.

(29:21):
That's what we're trying to fix. And some of my
moderate colleagues are going to, oh, we can't do this.
We might lose our elections in eighteen months. Dude, your
election certificate isn't worth spin if you don't actually deliver
on this stuff we said we would do. So that's
the core of the fight.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Jesse, Okay, so shoot me straight on this chip because
you've got elected. I definitely didn't. I lost two races.
Does medicaid spending get Republicans elected? Or cutting medicaid spending
does that cost Republicans elections? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (29:53):
I mean this is kind of the central point, right,
Like I understand the President Trump has built a new coalition.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
You do too.

Speaker 7 (30:00):
I like that new coalition a lot of hard working Americans, yes,
some of whom are on Medicaid. But the Republican position
that those hardworking Americans supported wasn't the promise of federal
benefits or giveaways. It was the promise of sanity, of
a secure border, of the opportunity to go achieve and

(30:20):
to make money for their families. It was yes, to
be able to go to the doctor of their choice
and do afford healthcare. Absolutely, But they didn't go to
President Trump because President Trump was going to buy their votes.
They went to President Trump because President Trump was saving America.
That's what we're supposed to be doing, saving America. So look,
I want to make sure that we cut spending enough

(30:43):
to balance the budget. I'm not looking for something draconian, Jesse.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
I'm not.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
This is not some philosophical debating society. I'm staring at
thirty seven trillion dollars in debt. The House budget that
my moderate friends say they cannot find the spending reductions
to achieve would still leave US fifty six trillion dollars
in debt in ten years.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
That is asini. I want to do better.

Speaker 7 (31:09):
Than that, But I want at least that I want
to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act subsidies that are destabilizing
the Texas grid and causing me to have battery plants
and solar panels in the beautiful hill country in Texas
because they're getting free money that are subsidizing and enriching
the Chinese. Why can't we repeal that we said we would,
But a bunch of Republicans are saying they won't do it,

(31:31):
and I say, you know, what, to hell with that.
I'm going to do what a cento would do.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
So the Republicans saying they won't repeal the IRA, they're
just Republicans getting fat federal checks for their district.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Right, That's exactly right. And so to be clear, the
CBO said that we could save about seven hundred and
fifty billion dollars. Right now I'm being told that they're
going to find four hundred billion in savings. You know
what that really means is three hundred and fifty billion
or a bunch of things. Hey, I need to bring
home the checks to my corn states or let me
be there are Texans. Oh, we have oil and gas

(32:03):
companies that wanted their free money too. I don't mind
walking into Houston where you are, or going out to
Midland or in Austin and walking into the boardrooms saying, guys,
I am opposing the subsidies that you're taking on the
back of your children and my children and our grandchildren.
I have no problem telling Texas that we should not
be doing that and selling out the future of our country.

(32:25):
To walk into rooms say oh, we're bringing home your
free subsidies. They're not free. They're killing our country.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Let's switch gears to something else. Disheartening chip the judges.
Everyone's mad. Everyone's mad, and everyone's getting more and more
disheartened as we wake up every day and we check
our phones and we found out Wait a minute, get
another judge stopped what I voted for? We can't. It's look,
we're losing legitimacy fast. Is a lot more in stakes
than just deportations.

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Yeah, that's right, and I'll tell you I think we
need to do a lot. A lot of people talk
about impeachment. That's fine, and I think some of these
guys have cross lines that we should impeach them. I
don't know if the Senate will convict, but I don't
want to waste a lot of time, sort of tilting
and windmills. If we can go make a case, let's
do it. What I think we need to do is
you use our constitutional power to restrain the jurisdiction of
these judges. I think we ought to restrain the budgets

(33:17):
of these judges. I think in the reconciliation process we
ought to be looking at the budgets of the DC
courts that are abusing their power. But here's an important one, Jesse,
I think, and I sent a letter to the Speaker
today saying that when we put this final package together,
we should do something important, which is to say that
we've got these immigration judges we're funding with staff. They

(33:39):
can process all of these claims. They're constitutionally they're empowered.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
They can do that.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
But we should take away the ability of these non citizen,
these illegals to get into Article three courts and have
these judges just make these random, unilateral decisions. We should
force them into these executive branch courts where they can
get the process that they that they deserve on the constitution.
But then we can make the determinations then remove them.
So I think we need legislation to do that, force

(34:07):
them into the right places. Let the President and go
out and execute and follow the law, and then make
sure that we can do the job that he said.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
He would do.

Speaker 7 (34:13):
We've all removed about I don't know, fifteen thousand people
from the interior, not because Tom Homan and Ice and
the President and those great metal women are doing a
good job. But we got to do more. They need beds,
and we need to move them faster. We got to
get them out.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Tingresman has always I appreciate you very much. Keep stay
in the fight. All right, let's talk about let's speaking
of budget items. The FBI wants some money. Let's talk
about the FBI. Before we get to the FBI, Let's
talk about you and how you feel. How do you

(34:50):
feel full of energy? How's your mood? Do you find
yourself randomly down and you can't really explain why. Listen,
we drink estrogen. Now, it's in the water supply, it's
in the plastics we shower, and it's awful. It's absolutely terrible.
What it's doing is it's destroying the testosterone of the country.

(35:11):
We've lost half of our tea levels fifty percent fifty years.
Chalk naturally is trying to change it naturally natural herbal supplements.
They have female vitality stacks for the ladies. They have
male vitality stacks for the men. Men. You understand twenty
percent increase in your tea levels in ninety days, it's

(35:32):
almost instant boom. You'll be a different person. Try it
if it look. If you don't feel better after ninety days,
cancel the subscription. Plus, they're giving out big fat discounts
on subscriptions chalk dot com slash jessetv. We'll be back.

(35:57):
All let's talk talk about the latest and greatest and
worst about the FBI DOJ and all that. Because the
Pambondi Attorney General Pambondi did come out and made an
announcement today about arrests of a bunch of petos. Who
she was.

Speaker 8 (36:15):
Today, we are proud to announce the results of the
FBI's Operation Restore Justice initiative. This historic, unprecedented nation nationwide
operation led to the arrest of two hundred and five
child sex predators. Unbelievable in just five days.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Okay, well, that's obviously a good thing. Two hundred and
five monsters taken off the streets. Always a good thing.
Cash Bettel got up, he talked about it.

Speaker 9 (36:50):
I also want to just take a moment to emphasize
the priority of this Department of Justice, in this FBI
our children, harm our children. You will be given no sanctuary.
There is no place we will not come to hunt
you down. There is no place we will not look
for you, and there is no cage we will not

(37:11):
put you in should you do harm to our children.
The prioritization of this administration in general, Bondi, has made
it abundantly clear to child predators you will be hunted
down and you will be prosecuted.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
It's hard to complain about predators being taken off the streets,
and I am not complaining about it. It's a good thing. Also,
let's understand the game that's being played. You can argue
that it has to be played. But cash Bettel went
before committee today and asked for ten billion dollars for
the FBI. The FBI, in fact, I'll read you this

(37:47):
text message I got from a FBI special agent. So
how about that, FYI. The FBI bragging about arresting child
predators is a rebrand. They do this every year. They
just changed the name of the program to play the
conservative media used to be called Operation Cross Country. It

(38:07):
was done for twenty plus years. That's verbatim. I just
read it off my phone. I'm not complaining about the
arrest of a bunch of child sex predators. Good throw
them in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for all
I care, with a bunch of sharp chum around them.
That all sounds great to me. And I'm not genuinely
complaining about Bondie or cash. But tell I am, however,

(38:27):
very wary right now. I'm wary of being played. We've
had this conversation before. I feel It's not that I
feel like we're being played. I'm worried we're being played.
I want child sex predators arrested as fast as humanly possible,
but that's not the top priority right now for me.

(38:52):
Save in the country involves arresting FBI agents, politicians, bureaucrats
across the federal government. It's what we need, we need,
we need the Epstein people exposed exposed. Pam BONDI talked
about this.

Speaker 8 (39:09):
The FBI. They're reviewing. There are tens of thousands of
videos of Epstein with children or child and there are
hundreds of victims and no one victim will ever get released.
It's just the volume, and that's what they're going through
right now. The FBI is diligently going through that. I

(39:31):
haven't seen that statement, but I'll call him later and
find out.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
FBI is diligently going through it. That is interesting because
the FBI's the one who covered it up. I mean,
you remember the FBI rated Jeffrey Epstein's New York home.
Jeffrey Epstein is famous for videotaping everything. But during that raid,

(40:02):
they found a drawer with a bunch of home videos DVDs,
bunches of them. You can go look at a picture
of it. It's on the internet. The FBI decided they
weren't going to take anything in the drawer. The agent
in charge, well, I mean, we can't take that stuff.
They were ordered later to go back and get the video.
The videos had all been removed, of course by the
Epstein people. But you want me to believe that same FBI,

(40:27):
same agents, they're now digging into it, diligently, just going
after it, same way they went after Larry Nasser. I mean, look,
James Comer came out, he flat out things. Things have
been destroyed. I hope.

Speaker 10 (40:41):
I hope James has the Epstein files, because I don't
think the Department Justice has them, or at least the
Attorney General does not have them, or she would have
turned him over. The President ordered them released, the Attorney
General ordered them released.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
We all know they have not been released.

Speaker 10 (40:59):
And one of my biggest spears that I had, and
I expressed this with with Cash Patil and a lot
of people, Stephen Miller and a lot of people going
into the to the new administration, I'm like, you know,
I hope they're not shredding document Truight. Now, this was
a few weeks before the transition. I said, I hope
they're not shredding document, but you all need to go

(41:20):
on that first day and try to get all this
stuff released, because you know, my theory is from from
what I dealt with in investigations and in communication with
this deep state apparatus, is they're probably in their shredded
documents as we speak.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
The criminals inside the federal government are destroying evidence. There's
a reason a paper shreddered truck parked out in front
of the DOJ before Donald Trump got sworn in. There's
a reason the DC swamp delayed cash Paatel's confirmation as
long as they possibly could. They delayed Pambondi's confirmation as

(42:03):
long as they possibly could. Why did they do that?
Neither of those confirmations were in doubt. Why did they
do it? They were playing for time, you see. They
were busy taking care of things. So back to what
we talk about. I'm really happy we got some child
sex predators off the street. I am. I hope it's

(42:25):
not four years of this tossing me a little red meat.
More so, you know, all cheer about when it's government
people I want to see, call me when it's a
press conference for two hundred and five FBI agents who've
been arrested. Anyway, let's do light in the mood next.

(42:51):
All right, it's time to lighten the mood. And I
do so enjoy when the House has these committee hearing days,
especially when we have someone who's really solid and sharp
sitting in front of them, because the Democrats in the
House of Representatives are mostly morons, and they'd love to
advertise the fact they're mostly morons, and they always throw
some emotional hissy fit about something. Scott Passent sat in

(43:15):
front of the House today in a Gregory Meeks, Democrat,
freaked out about what he said.

Speaker 11 (43:21):
Who has been the president since January twentieth, twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Donald Jake Trump? Okay? And who was the president in
twenty twenty four? The one believes prison Biden? One believes.

Speaker 11 (43:41):
Are you one of those non believers that the election
the American people didn't vote?

Speaker 1 (43:47):
I am not.

Speaker 11 (43:50):
You're not, you said, one believes. Do you believe in
the Constitution of the United States.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
I believe in the Constitution of the United State dates
So you believe.

Speaker 11 (44:01):
In it without any second thought. You don't have to
think about it. You believe in it and you would
abide by it.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Is that correct, sir?

Speaker 1 (44:12):
Okay?

Speaker 11 (44:13):
But do you know that a president has said he
may or may not.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
He don't know. That was awkward. I'll see them all
