Speaker 1 (00:02):
We're about to have a new GOP Senate leader. It
might be Rick Scott. Senator Scott is going to join
US Senator Marsha Blackburn joins US doctor Kevin Roberts of
Project twenty twenty five. All that and so much more
coming up.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm right, Okay, let's have a talk, shall we. This
is a talk about Trump's transition team post election, and
we're going to.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Get to the Senate leadership stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
First and foremost, Trump has been out there filling up
his cabinet. That's what he's been doing. They have been
vetting people, They've been interviewing people, and the choices are
starting to come down. We have Mark ro Rubio been
formally announced, Secretary of State, Tom Homan of course going
to be the borders are Michael Walls, former Green Beret
(00:55):
Florida really like Michael Walls, going to be a national
security advisor. Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of step Chief's Op. Okay,
So there's a lot of people. The cabinet is starting
to fill up, Okay, And here's what can happen. And
I'm guilty of this. What I'm about to say, I'm
guilty of I've done it before. And I'll probably do
(01:17):
it this time. We people on the right, we're not
used to wins, and when we get big wins, we
want to do as much good as humanly possible.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I do, and I know you do.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So when they start filling up their cabinets, we start
to look for all the bad.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And that's fine to vet these people.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And if Trump is bringing in a lot of devious
snakes like you did last time, it's fine to scream
about it. And you know I will, believe me, I will.
I'm going to right now. From what I see so far,
I'm very very pleased. Is everything perfect? No, but at
least things are clear. Let's talk about Marco Rubio first
(02:04):
and foremost, Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Well remember
first secretary of state, that is the diplomacy position. There
is secretary of State. He's the one who wants to
talk peace all the time. And then there's your secretary
of defense. Used to be called secretary of war. That's
a lot cooler. Your secretary of defense wants to bomb everywhere.
(02:25):
So the secretary of States, the peaceful guy. The secretary
of Defense wants everything calm or wants to bomb.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Everything from here to ancient times.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So Marco Rubio, who I have a lot of disagreements with,
moving into the Secretary of State position.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
At least at least he's not going to be in
the Senate voting for neo con positions, which he holds,
and at least we'll have instead of this endless tightrope walking,
at least will have some sort of clarity from the
Secretary of State.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Remember what he said about hom A at Israel.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
On the contrary, I want you guys to get this.
I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they
can get their hands on. These people are vicious animals
who did horrifying crimes, and I hope you guys post that.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
What about the civilians every day?
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Hamasa stopped hiding behind civilians, putting civilians in the way.
Hamas knew that this was going to lead to this.
Hamas has stopped building their military installations underneath hospital.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
So you don't care that fifteen thousand, You don't care
about the.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Babies that are every day.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I think it's terrible and I think Hamas is one
hundred percent to blame. That's what I think make sure
you post that.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Plan very clear.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Okay, Rubio was an average senator. Okay on some things,
he really sucked on some other things. He's no longer
in the United States Senate. He's going to be Donald
Trump's Secretary of State for I assume the next four
years you can sit and comb through his Senate record
and find all all kinds of garbage in there. I
have no problem doing that. I've screamed at Rubio a
(04:03):
thousand times. But Rubio moving to Secretary of State, I'm
fine with it. Totally fine with it, perfect, Oh, totally
fine with it. Why would I take away the joy
I have of the election over Marco Rubio?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I wouldn't. Tom Homan. We've already brought up Tom Holman.
I don't need to go into it again.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Being the borders are that shows commitment to mass deportation.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Susie Wilds, chief of staff, a very very serious, smart person.
No more of this idiocy in the White House. That's
what that tells me. Steven Miller. Good, Now, there are
other things people are complaining about, understandably so allegedly, rumor
has it, it's being widely reported, But that Christy Nome
(04:45):
is going to potentially be.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The next head of DAHS.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Now, Christy Nome, who has said things like this in
the past.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
They came into our country illegally. They need to be deported,
they just do. They broke our federal law. They need
to go home and come here correctly. We're either a
nation of laws or we're not a nation at all.
And right now the problem is we've got President Biden
setting a poor example. He is being a leader who's
knowingly violating federal law, and that is putting us in
a very dangerous situation. I've declared the southern border at warzone.
(05:19):
It's an invasion of our country.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Sounds good.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I don't know whether she's going to get in there
and enforce everything that needs to be enforced. Yes, I
understand the problems you have or I may have, with
certain aspects of Christy Nomes's record. Again, Christine Nome is
not perfect legislatively, and that's okay. Her being head of
DHS is just fine. I promise you cross my heart
(05:47):
and hope to die. If I start seeing a bunch
of evil, ignorant filth filling up the Trump administration again,
I will sound the alarm. We are getting a pretty
good team in there. Lee Zelden, head of the EPA.
That's a great pick. Mike Huckabee was announced earlier today,
Ambassador to Israel.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
That's a great pick. These are good picks.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Perfect No, because they're all politicians. There aren't perfect ones.
These are the ones you got all right. Now on
to the real, real, real important things. And I'm not
dismissive of Secretary of State and DHS. These are obviously
critical positions.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Attorney General, as I've said, that's the one to watch.
That's the big boy.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
If that one is flimsy at all, it's a disaster
because that person needs to clean out the Justice Department,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And the person who is
going to be Trump's age is going to have to
be confirmed by the United States Senate Senate leadership. The
vote is tomorrow. Of course, it's a silent vote. A
(06:52):
bunch of worthless cowards won't tell everyone how they're voting.
And I've been telling you for a while, I'm not
Johnny come lately on this.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I didn't come up with.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
This issue when everyone else started talking about it. I've
been hot on what a problem this is going to
be for a while. The list of potential replacements is
really bad.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yes, there is a chance a more conservative upstart like
Rick Scott can mount some sort of a revolution within
the Senate GOP.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And maybe takeover. That's probably about the best we could
hope for.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But the truth is, there have been a couple guys
who've been gunning for this leadership spot for a long time,
sucking up to Mitch McConnell, proving to the DC swamp
that their team players, of course, that they all play ball.
And those two names are John Cornyn, he's much less likely,
and John Thune, John Thune, John Thune from the blood
(07:50):
red state, John Thune, who should have been primary forever ago.
But of course he's handsome and speaks very well on TV,
so the moron GOP Mary voter goes out and votes
for him every time. John Thune's probably going to be
our next Senate Minority or majority leader. Saw it come
(08:12):
in a while ago, and it's bad. It's bad if
it's thuone or it's Cornyn, because those two will view
their roles differently than you view their roles. You and
I understandably would view having a Senate, a House, and
a presidency after an election as a mandate to drain
the swamp, secure the border, and do some good. John
(08:35):
Cornyn and John Thune would one hundred percent view their
roles as stopping that they want.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Business to continue as.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Usual, and so likely by the time we go to
bed tomorrow, one of these two men are going to
be the new majority leader.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Under the effective leadership of Director Ray, the agency has
remained committed to doing things independently and buy the book,
which I think is perhaps the most important characteristic we've worked.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
With the NRA.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
Listen to their concerns, but in the end, I think
they simply they have a membership and a business model
that will not allow them to support any legislation.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
John Corner of Texas told CBS News he simply doesn't
think Donald Trump can get elected president. Quite a statement
from Senator Cornyn. John Foon of South Dakota says America
is going to have to decide whether it wants to
deal with quote all the drama.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Donald Trump is the Republican nominee.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Would you support him?
Speaker 11 (09:43):
Well, I'm hoping we had to have other options.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Too.
Speaker 11 (09:46):
Many Americans live in fear that what happened to George
Floyd could happen to their own fathers and sons and brothers.
Do many Americans see in law enforcement officers individuals to
be feared rather than trusted. Americans are ready for all
of that to end. They want reform and increased accountability.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And let's remember not to beat everyone up, because we're
all in a good mood right now, and we should be.
But let's remember whose fault it is, Jesse. Why do
we have these crappy choices? John Cornyn is from Texas,
blood red. John Thune is from South Dakota, blood red.
How do we have loser senators like this? Because whenever
(10:34):
Donald Trump was on the ballot for president, the GOP
primary voter marches into the streets by the million to
make sure they work hard for him and get him elected.
As soon as Trump's off the ticket that GOP primary
in Texas, the MAGA hats.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Get put away.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Everyone sits at home, no one cares anymore. Only they
look around one.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Day and say, why we have these rhinos?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Because GOP primary voters are lazy and stupid in red states,
That's why we have these rhinos. Until the GOP primary
voter cares as much about his primary and his red
state as he does about.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Voting for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We will continue to have options like John Cornyn and
John Dunne in the United States Senate.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
All that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am
right now.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
We are going to talk to a couple senators tonight.
Marsha Blackburn, Rick Scott is here, doctor Kevin Roberts is here.
It's going to be a great show. First, let's talk
about preborn. Let's save a life real quick, shall we?
Preborn saves lives two hundred babies a day. That's what
you do when you give to preborn. How do they
(11:45):
do it well. They put up these clinics in the
highest abortion areas in the country. They go right into
the billy of the beast and they find these young
women who are about to have abortions, and they offer
them free ultrasounds if they can get her in. If
they're successful, she chooses life. Almost every time when a
woman here's that heartbeat, she chooses life. Twenty eight bucks.
(12:07):
That's what the ultrasound costs. And you know preborn's tax deductible.
Give him twenty eight thousand for all I care it
is tax deductible. Save a life and write it off
on your taxes. Preborn dot com slash jesse go save
a life.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
We need Rick Scott is our majority leader.
Speaker 12 (12:33):
Here's a serious individual, very successful person in the private sector,
successful governor of Florida. You know, he wants to challenge
these issues. I'm not sure the other people running Nessley.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Do wholeheartedly agree in joining us now as the man
who hopefully fingers crossed is going to be the next
Senate majority leader. Senator from the great State of Florida.
Rick Scott, Senator. Okay, how's it looking right now? Don't
blow smoke on me. Are you looking good? Is it
(13:04):
a disaster where we at?
Speaker 13 (13:07):
I'm optimistic, but there's so many of my colleagues that
just they're not saying where they are. So you know,
I'm going in. We're having a dinner tonight. It's so
frustrating because everybody can't be there. And then tomorrow they've
just told me that, you know, we we get to
make our pitch, but we don't get there's not going
to be a Q and A. I mean, look, they're
(13:28):
trying to rush this. That's you know, there's nothing, not
much I can do about it. So here's my pitch.
My pitch is real simple. I support Donald Trump's agenda
number one wholeheartedly. He got a mandate. Let's get it done.
That's one. Number two is I have the background to
get things done. I'm a business guy. I built the
largest hospital company. I built a variety of manufactured companies.
(13:50):
I was a governor of Florida. We turned our conomy
around in Florida. So I know how do get things done.
You set, you have a goal, you build a team,
you create a plan, you create the measurement systems, and
you keep working it every day to get it done.
That's what we need up here. We have big problems.
Let's get them fixed.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Senator, what are you guys having for dinner? I don't
know that.
Speaker 13 (14:15):
What they have up here is chicken and a little
bit more chicken. And they have a little bit more chicken.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
See.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I was hoping that I would hear something fancy, you're
freaking United States senators. I figured it would be steak
and lobster or something nice or something that.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Maybe that's the key, Senator.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Maybe you need to fut the bill and get some
lobsters and steaks in there and let's buy some votes.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
We need you in there.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
That I didn't think about that.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know if that's too late to do that.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I think some people might.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yeah, I'm sure they are. It all serious.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
This, why why the secret ballot help us? For those
of us on the outside looking in, I will never
be a senator and most people watching won't. Why is
secret ballot? Why is this something that's not done in
the open. Why won't your colleagues tell you whether or
not they're acting you. This seems confusing to people who
are watching and saying, why isn't this open right?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Why can't we all see why? It doesn't make any
sense to me. We look.
Speaker 13 (15:08):
You know, you know how I vote on everything else.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You know how I vote on judges.
Speaker 13 (15:12):
You know, if I vote on every nominee, you don't
have to vote on every bill. I don't get this,
and I don't understand why this is.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
It's rushed.
Speaker 13 (15:19):
We have we have new senators, new Republican senators. I
mean they just start orientation I think today, and so
tomorrow they've got to vote for the next two years
and maybe for you know, it's hard to change when
somebody gets elected, so who's going to be the majority leader? So,
you know, I don't get it, but I look, they
did this two years ago when I ran against McConnell.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
They rushed the vote to the next day.
Speaker 13 (15:43):
So this is a way for you know, for you know,
people to try to reduce the chance that the uh
that the outsider, the guy that wants to completely change
how we work. It makes you maybe get something done
like balance a budget, secure the border, get more America jobs,
you know, you know, hold China accountable, make sure we're
(16:04):
not in further warris the guy who wants to do
that has a harder time getting getting something done.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, of course, because he's not in the business of Washington,
which is what concerns me a great deal. I've made
my thoughts very clear to everybody on the other two
your running against that, I'm not going to ask you
to do the same.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But I have a great deal.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Of concern about Trump's appointments getting through getting confirmed if
we don't have a solid enough leader in the Senate.
But please tell me shoot me down. Is that a
valid concern, because I'm very worried about it.
Speaker 13 (16:35):
Well, let's look at history under Bill Clinton. He got
to do recess appointments. Under George W. Bush, he did
I think one hundred and seventy one recess appointments. Even
Barack Obama did thirty two. Trump with two years McConnell's leader,
two years a Schumer's leader, got no recess appointments. So
(16:56):
we've got to get his appointments done. If Schumer, which
all the anticipation will continue Douay's doing, tries to slow
down the process so Trump can put his team together,
then we've got to We've got to go into recess
and let Trump put his team together. So I've been
very clear. Trump has got to get be able to
put his team together. He got a mandate. We've got
to allow him to govern. We need we know we
(17:17):
have problems, and we need we we I just don't
get it why they don't understand that Trump won won
a mandate. These Democrats keep fighting Trump, and what they're
going to do is then in twenty six we'll pick
up more republic more and more Democrat seats. So you know,
I don't I don't get why these people don't realize
Trump got one with a man that won the popular
(17:39):
vote over three hundred electoral votes. I mean, he kicked
her butt because Harris's policies and Democrat policies are horrible
for your family.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
What this GOP leadership in sickness in DC? It's just
been going on for years and years and years, as
long as I've been involved politically. What is it about
the swamp that they love so much? They've been like
this forever. You can the names change, but it's always
the guys in leadership are constantly screwing over the Republican
(18:10):
base new Republican presidents.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Why help us understand?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
I've been up here six years, and the I've never
understood it. First off, I've never understood how all senators
are not part of the decision making process. Since I've
been up here, there's been two dictatorships, the McCollum dictatorship
and the Schumer dictatorship. They decide, they decide the bills.
We don't even have bills that go through committee. And
(18:37):
once they go through the Schumer McCollum decide on a bill,
they just put it on the floor. No amendment voats.
So I mean, so my only choice is to say
yes or no. If I don't like it. I can't
even try to amend it.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Nothing.
Speaker 13 (18:49):
This doesn't make any I never envisioned.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
It would be like this.
Speaker 13 (18:54):
I thought the US sendor one I would have the
ability to propose a bill, have it hurt. If I
can't get sixty votes, that's my problem. If I don't
get a vote, that's leadership's problem. So it doesn't make sense.
I said, we're gonna have amendment votes. Our builds are
going to go through committee. We're gonna get the Trump
agenda accomplished. Through hell or high water. Trump's agenda will
(19:16):
get high. We'll get accomplished.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You find it frustrated to go from being a CEO
and a governor to being a senator with no voice,
don't you. It sounds like an upgrade for a lot
of people, but it's a downgrade for you, isn't it.
Speaker 13 (19:31):
Well, you know, nice thing is that being a CEO?
But you know, a strong CEO to here's what they do.
They do what I'm proposing. Build a team, have a plan, constantly,
measure your yourself, make sure everybody around you is successful,
and you'll probably are going to be a successful CEO.
That's what I did as governor. We added one point
seven million jobs. We became number one higher education, Top
(19:53):
five and K twelve education forty seven year requirement. I
didn't do it because I was a dictator. I did
it because that brought people along. That's what we need
with a leader here. We need somebody who's gonna take
all the input and bring everybody together, say hey, we're
going to go down this path because it's good for
the people of your state. Now I'm gonna take your ideas.
(20:14):
I'm gonna implement their ideas. And this person's idea is
to get something done. It's not gonna be one person
makes the decision. So but we the But I look
at the bottom line is this, do you support Trump's
agenda or not. If you don't support Trump's agender, you're
probably not gonna let me. Are you gonna elect somebody
that knows how to create a process to get things done.
(20:36):
That's what I'm offering. I believe I'm gonna win. My
colleagues have said that's what they want. I hope that's
what the vote comes out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Senator, Moving off of this, what can we do with
fifty three seats? It's not sixty, but it ain't forty
nine either. We do have fifty three seats. Obviously we
can do something legislative.
Speaker 14 (20:58):
Lee.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What is realistic though, Well?
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Number one, all of the nominees can get done. All
the nominees can get done because you know, all those
nominees can get done with fifty one votes. So all
those actually with fifty with Jdvans, So all the nominees
can get done. It's just it's just you know, it
takes time, so we can get all those done. Number
two is all the tax the Trump tax cuts can
(21:22):
get redone fit to keep them because we can do
that with fifty one votes through reconciliation. So all those
things can happen. Now, I'm optimistic. My experience in my
business life is I if I talk to people, you
can find common ground. I look, Democrats are getting hurt
by having an open border. So hopefully there's seven Democrats
(21:44):
that want to do everything they can to make sure
we fix our border problem. I hope there's seven Democrats
that will come along and make sure we help make
sure we don't have a woke military. I hope there's
seven Democrats that say we've got to start creating full
time jobs. So my goal is to bring people together.
I have conversations and by the way, you need to
work with the House representatives. That's why I built a
(22:05):
very good org relation with Speaker Johnson, Tom Emmer, Steve
Scalise and the conservatives in the House because it takes both.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Senator, we are pulling for you. Good luck, go get
on the all. Let's hope. Let's hope.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
If we lose that one, it's going to hurt. Keep
marching on. Anyway, Switch your phone, switch your phone service.
We have Senator Marsha Blackburn next will ask her who
she's planning on voting for. But before we get to that,
you need to switch to cell phone service. Verizon is
a horrible company. It's what they do with your money
(22:47):
that's extra terrible. At and T T Mobile, these companies
hate you, They hate me, they hate our values, they
hate what we stand for, and they take the money
we give them and they do the worst things with it.
Pure Talk has never done that. We'll never do that.
Pure Talk loves this country. They hire Americans. That means
so much to me. When you get a hold of
someone at pure Talk, you'll find you're speaking to someone
(23:10):
who speaks English.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Go to puretalk dot com, slash jessetv and switch today.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
We'll be back.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
I invite every tendency and to work with me. Fight
with me is protect as we protect our freedoms and
our liberties. And fight with me so that we have
less government, so that we stop the overspending in Washington
and get this debt under control, so that we restore
(23:57):
our standing in the world and rebuild our military, and
we get that border secured, and that we protect our
children and make certain that when it comes to protecting
our girls in sports, that we.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
Know what a woman is and we know what a man.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I still can't believe how insane the communists are. How
did the whole trans thing, how did that ever even
get started? It's wild that the US Senator even has
to say that joining me now, Senator from the great
state of Tennessee. And now she's going to be parked
there for another six years, which we love, Senator Marshall Blackburn.
Senator fifty three looks a lot better than forty nine.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What can we do with it?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
And what we can do is make certain we get
the Trump Agenda passed and signed into law.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You know, Jesse.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
The American people voted and they have sent a mandate
to Congress. The Trump agenda is what they want done.
They want the tax cuts made permanent, they want the
border secured. They want to fill out this administration so
that we reduce the size of the federal government. That
means you've got to have cabinet secretaries that are going
(25:19):
to start throwing a red line through a lot of
what this administration, the Biden administration, has done, and what
the Trump administration can get in here and reorganize the
federal government so that it is more efficient and costs
the taxpayer less money. We also want to make certain
(25:41):
that our allies and know that they can depend on us,
Our enemies fear us. And yes, as I said, people
want to protect our children. They want to make certain
that girl sports are for girls and that you don't
have boys playing in girl sports.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Again, I can't believe that's a partisan thing, but anyway,
I'm glad we have to take that.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Stance at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Okay, as far as reducing the size of this government,
something you've been hot on for quite some time.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Can we do it?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Government employees are famously very difficult to get rid of.
You can't fire these freaking leeches. They get in there
and they just stay attached to you forever. What can
be done, what's realistic.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
This is why reorganization is so vitally important, and I
have encouraged the administration to freeze federal spending and federal
hiring on day one. I think if President Trump did that,
made it retroactive to January first of twenty twenty five,
then that would prohibit a lot of these people getting
(26:44):
pay raises or elevations in their writing. But Jesse, when
you reorganize the federal government, what you do is eliminate
positions that are no longer necessary. And then those individuals
their job has been deleted and they would have to
(27:06):
find another position, or they would have to go to
the federal to the private sector. The way I've looked
at it is this, If you say, all total, we've
got four million federal employees spread across the country, and
every year we have about eight hundred we have about
eight thousand, eighty thousand resignations and retirements out of that number,
(27:32):
Then if you just froze federal hiring, that helps you
get to that spot where you need to be. The
other thing is, if you're going to be a federal employee,
you need to be showing up for work every day.
We've got departments like the Veterans Affairs Department where people
(27:53):
that work in Veterans healthcare, those case workers work only
five days out of ten ten days the pay period.
They work five out of ten in person. Those that
are in VA benefits can work remotely eight out of
ten days. They only have to show up one day
(28:13):
a week in the office. We need to put a
halt to that. People need to go back to work
and get their job done.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Senator, let's talk about the Senate leadership race. That's what's
on everyone's mind right now. John Corny and John Thune,
Rick Scott, they've all been campaigning and jockeying and donating
money for this thing for quite some time, trying to
get to that Mitch McConnell's spot. Now that McConnell's stepping down,
who do you like for this and.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Why you know?
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Jesse We've had a forum tonight. I'm going to be there.
I've got my list of questions. We've got three good
guys I've reached out to. Rick Scott, haven't heard back yet.
Look forward to that conversation, and what I want to
do is see what their game plan is for getting
President Trump's agenda across the finish line and signed into law.
(29:09):
We should make that item number one.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
We need to move quickly.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
That first hundred days is going to be vitally important.
We have to have a Senate majority leader and the
other positions whip, our conference chair, our policy chair all
have to be people that are supportive of President Trump
and are going to push to get this agenda finished
(29:34):
in the Senate and then to President Trump's desk for
his signature. So who is going to be able to
do that? That is what I'm looking for answers to
because the imperative is we have to pass the President's agenda.
We have to get this country back on the right track.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Senator, what happens between now and the day Trump in
the new Senate and the new House is sworn in.
We all know Democrats with their dirty tricks. Everyone's already
heard about Elizabeth Warren. She's got a list of judges
she's going to try to cram in there.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
What can we stop? Can we stop all of it?
Some of it? None of it?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Do we just have to lay here helplessly for two
months while they abuse us.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Well, the power in the Senate moves from Democrat to
Republican on January sixth, January third, that is when we
reconvene and when we are sworn in. That day is
January third. So it is protecting that space between now
and January third, when we have the majority. When it
(30:42):
comes to these nominees they're trying to put on the
federal bench, You've got activists that have never been a
judge and now they want to go be a federal
district judge or go to the appellate court. These are individuals.
It is going to be important for us to block
these individuals. They if they have never been a judge,
(31:05):
if they have no experience and appellate law and they
want to go to the appellate court, if they're an
activist that has worked for a nonprofit, then what we
need to do is make certain that we have constitutionalists,
people that are going to abide by precedent and the
(31:25):
rule of law.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Okay, so that'll be none of them.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
If Democrats are the ones putting them up, I mean,
they're clearly not going to go for constitutionalists. And you
and I both know exactly which kind of turbo freak
nonprofits they're going to be snatching these people out of.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
You know what the game is? Can we stop them?
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Yes, it is putting holds on these individuals. It is
blocking them from moving forward in committee. It is reminding
people what their answers to questions were when they came
before us for the hearing. And we don't want activists
(32:04):
from the left or the right. We don't want activists
on the bench. People are looking for equal treatment under
the law, and it is frustrating when they hear about
two tiers of justice, when they witness two tiers of treatment,
two tiers of access and Jesse, I will tell you,
(32:26):
I think that's one of the things that drove people
to the ballot box and droves this election cycle. They
don't like government being weaponized against citizens. They don't like
two tiers of justice in two tiers of treatment. They
want it to be equal, and they want it to
(32:48):
be constitutional.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Senator, appreciate you very much. Congratulations again.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
All right, Doctor Kevin Roberts, the architect of Pro twenty
twenty five, is going to join us.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
In a moment before he.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Joins us, let's get your tea levels up. We might
be facing some really great times here. Don't you want
to feel good about it? Don't you want to be
in a good mood? Gentlemen, you find yourself down a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I'm sad. I don't know why. It's got.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Your tea levels are low. That's why you don't have
any energy. Ladies, you're running out of gas at two
or three in the afternoon. You need a female vitality
stack from Chalk. Guys, you need a male vitality stack
natural herbal supplements.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Ninety days.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
You will feel like a brand new person, probably sooner
than that. But try it for ninety days and tell
me how you feel.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Want a big discount on it.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Chalk dot com slash jessetv is where you go.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Get one. We'll be back.
Speaker 14 (33:54):
Look, I'm not leaving the country, all right.
Speaker 15 (33:56):
I never said that.
Speaker 14 (33:57):
I was never one of these celebrities delist her. Otherwise
there's like, and if Trump gets reelected, I'm leaving the
country and I'm going here and I'm going to do this.
Obviously I didn't want him to win. And you know
what's going to happen now, especially what project twenty twenty
five is yet to be seen how much they're going
(34:20):
to do of it, but I definitely suggest that you
read Project twenty twenty five. It's not that difficult of
a read at all.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's not a book.
Speaker 14 (34:29):
But I I have had the knock at the door,
So don't come at me and don't be talking to
me about you know, you should be so scared, Kathy,
and I'm sure you're packing your bags.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Well, that was hard to watch and hard to listen to. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Nobody has gotten more free publicity for his thing than
my next guest, the president of Heritage Foundation, doctor Kevin Roberts,
also author of a new book. You should probably pick
up Thorn's Early Light about saving this country? Doctor, how
much free if you had to guess, because you've been
doing this a long time, how much money in free
(35:11):
advertising do you think these crazy comedies have provided you
in Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
It's endless.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I've never seen marketing like this in my life.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Well done, Yeah, I think about a billion dollars.
Speaker 16 (35:22):
I mean, basically what Kamala Harris raised for her ridiculous campaign.
Can I just say what knock has Griffin gotten on
her door?
Speaker 4 (35:30):
I mean, what a preposterous assertion.
Speaker 16 (35:33):
But that's what's going on with so many of these
unhinged lefties. The best thing we're going to do with
the Project twenty twenty five is fixed the ice cream
machine at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Okay, so Project twenty twenty five obviously got a lot
of pub during the campaign. The Commedis tried to dump
the whole thing in Trump's lap. Trump said, I don't
know what. I don't have anything to do with it,
but it is wonderful when you and I have had
this talk before about it's a database, database, so we
have good people to select from to start filling up
(36:04):
these government rules.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
How's it looking.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
It's looking great.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
There are two parts to our project.
Speaker 16 (36:11):
One is the policies, which of course we do every
day at Heritage in conjunction with over one hundred other groups.
But the real key part of this, the long term
part of this, is the personnel database. We have about
twenty thousand names there. Way too early to prognosticate or
even estimate what number of them will be asked by
the current administration to go in. But I will say
(36:33):
that the way it's looking is that the President elect
is hitting a grand slam all of the names that
have been confirmed thus far, starting with the Chief of
Staff Susie Wilds to our visiting fellow at Heritage, Tom Homan,
who's going to be the borders are to my friend
Stephen Miller, Deputy chief to Marco Rubio.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
This is a stellar cabinet.
Speaker 16 (36:52):
And what I like about this, the most jesse to
sum up here, is that it reflects where conservatism is
right now. It doesn't reflect conservatism of ten or twenty
or forty years ago. It is an honest to goodness,
realistic view of where the country is. And I think
they're going to do just a spectacular job.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I do too, and that almost makes me nervous how
hopeful I am about.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Everything I'm seeing.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Obviously it's not going to be perfect, there's no such
thing as perfect in Washington, d C. But what is
realistic Kevin? If this is going to continue like this,
what's a realistic hope for what he can get done
in four years?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
It's just four years. There won't be another four after that.
Speaker 16 (37:34):
What can he do well? I'll separate that into two parts.
The first is what I think is realistic, perhaps even
somewhat likely by next summer so just six months in,
you're going to see the border closed. You're going to
see self deportation of a majority of the illegal aliens
who have come here. That's just the nature of what
happens when there is a very strong administration administering the
(37:57):
rule of law, not just at the southern board Jesse,
as you know, but also in the interior. That's when
Tom Homan gets right so well. But then I think
you're going to see the renewal of the Trump tax
cuts early on. That's going to be a boon to
the economy. And then thirdly, while I don't know which
agency it will be if I had to guess, and
it is just a guess at this point, I do
(38:18):
think that President Trump and Vice President Vance are going
to pick a particular agency, whether that be the Department
of Education or something else, and say we're going to
use this as an example to show to the American
people of what it looks like to devolve power from
Washington back to the States. And then with that head
of steam, legislatively, I think you're going to see massive
(38:40):
deregulation through executive orders, perhaps even through Congress. We've got
to get past the good thing, the filibuster and the Senate,
we don't have sixty votes and we have a very
slim majority in the House. There's a lot of this
action that requires legislation, and obviously, as conservatives, we want
that to happen. But I would think if we're sitting
here talking a year from now, well it won't be perfect.
(39:01):
Politics can't be. That's not how policymaking goes, even with
great men and great women involved.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
I think we're going to be really pleased.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
We have a huge, huge leadership fight for who's going
to be guiding the ship in the Senate.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
It's coming tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I've been vocally shouting for Rick Scott, and that is
not as much of an endorsement as Rick Scott actually
as much as it is. I know exactly what John
Thune and John Cornyn will mean. It'll just be a
continuation of Mitch McConnell. You talked to Rick Scott today,
didn't you.
Speaker 16 (39:34):
I talked to Rick Scott yesterday and did something that
usually we don't do at Heritage, and that is we
endorsed him. We usually let the members of the Senate
and the members of the House make their own decisions.
We respect that, but in this case, there's just too
much at stake. Senator Scott is one of my best
friends in Congress. He is He's just a real dude.
(39:54):
I mean, he's just a guy you can sit down
and have a cup of coffee with or a beer with,
very accomplished, someone who understands to your point, Jesse, that
we cannot continue to do business as usual in Washington
if in fact, the Republicans come together and select Senator
Scott as majority leader along with even though it's a
(40:14):
slim majority in the House, having Speaker Johnson there along
with the executive branch.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
To your first question, how are things going to go?
Speaker 16 (40:23):
They're going to go a lot better because Rick Scott
is not owned by K Street.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
The others are. And I'm.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Hoping Rick Scott gets it. But at this point in time,
from what I hear, doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
What are you hearing?
Speaker 16 (40:42):
Look, he started this as a long shot, excuse me,
as a long shot, and I think that those chances
have improved. He certainly believes that he can win. I
hope that he can. I will say that if it
isn't him, then I was certainly gratified to see the
letter that John Cornyan, who is sincerely a friend of
mine from my Texas day, wrote to his colleagues. I
think that offers some promise. This is the key thing.
(41:04):
Whether Senator Scott wins or loses, there has to be
a recognition by Republican senators that Mitch McConnell's days of
running Capitol Hill are over. He might have done some
good with judges, he might have done some good.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
In the past.
Speaker 16 (41:19):
I certainly respect him personally, but it is time for
him to move on and get out of the way
so that we can implement what the popular will from
the election is, which is that we must dismantle Washington's
power over the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Talk to me about this book, Don's early life. What's it.
Speaker 16 (41:40):
Well, it's a bit of a longer term view of
where we go from here. Obviously, heritage is very much
involved in the short term. We registered a lot of
voters and spend a lot of money on messaging in
the campaign. But another part of our job is, you know, Jesse,
is to articulate a vision about what America can look like.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
And picking up on.
Speaker 16 (41:58):
This conversation for that you and I are having, which
is an attempt to undermine the power of the deep State,
undermine the power of the elites in Washington and New York.
I use that as a pivot point to hopefully, I hope,
inspire people with these words of Francis Scott key Don's
Early Life, that might, we might, We just might in
the twenty twenties have an opportunity to reinvigorate the American
(42:22):
dream by doing what by getting Washington out of the way,
by not only giving state and local governments more power,
but very importantly, we can do something that every individual
American plays a role in, and that's revitalizing our communities,
revitalizing our civic associations, revitalizing in fact, what makes America America,
which is our relationships.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
That's the kind of thing that the radical.
Speaker 16 (42:46):
Left has tried to destroy by undermining our public schools,
undermining our colleges and universities. And it's incumbent on us
to realize that politics is not everything as important as
in fact politics is.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Doctor Kevin Roberts, his book is The Don's Early Light.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Go pick it up. Thank you so much. I appreciate
you very much. Come back anytime. All right. We have
one of my favorite light in the moods. Ever. Next,
all right, let's lighten the mood.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
First.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Before we lighten the mood, make sure you go subscribe
to my YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash at Jesse KELLYDC.
We put some extra things on there you can't really
get anywhere else. And next, I've said before that the
communists hate me, say I'm too harsh and all this
other stuff.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
And I've said.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I'm an adorable teddy bear compared to the next generation
that's coming. You want to hear from the next generation.
Carson called into my radio show.
Speaker 17 (43:52):
This is what he said, person from Colorado twelve years old,
what's up, brother?
Speaker 10 (43:58):
Hello?
Speaker 15 (43:58):
I wanted to tell you that for Halloween, I just
up as Donna Chump and went to my school and
tried to piss off all the commedy liberal teachers because
it was really funny. They kept telling me to take
my wig off in my hat. I will I want
to make America great again. It was hilarious. I'm all
my friends from my bodyguards, and they're all conservatives.
Speaker 17 (44:20):
Corson you give my best to your friends. Well done,
young man, Well done. I'm telling you right now we're
gonna be all right. You got I keep trying to
tell these commies. They're always calling and complaining, the corporate
and the email. On the show, My Jesse So mean, Jesse,
so mean. You think I'm mean, you wait until Carson's
generation comes up. I'm an adorable little teddy bear compared
(44:44):
to how hardcore these kids are now, the young boys,
they've had enough of your mental illness.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
We're gonna be all right. I'll see them all
We're about to have a new GOP Senate leader. It
might be Rick Scott. Senator Scott is going to join
US Senator Marsha Blackburn joins US doctor Kevin Roberts of
Project twenty twenty five. All that and so much more
coming up.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm right, Okay, let's have a talk, shall we. This
is a talk about Trump's transition team post election, and
we're going to.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Get to the Senate leadership stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
First and foremost, Trump has been out there filling up
his cabinet. That's what he's been doing. They have been
vetting people, They've been interviewing people, and the choices are
starting to come down. We have Mark ro Rubio been
formally announced, Secretary of State, Tom Homan of course going
to be the borders are Michael Walls, former Green Beret
(00:55):
Florida really like Michael Walls, going to be a national
security advisor. Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of step Chief's Op. Okay,
So there's a lot of people. The cabinet is starting
to fill up, Okay, And here's what can happen. And
I'm guilty of this. What I'm about to say, I'm
guilty of I've done it before. And I'll probably do
(01:17):
it this time. We people on the right, we're not
used to wins, and when we get big wins, we
want to do as much good as humanly possible.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I do, and I know you do.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
So when they start filling up their cabinets, we start
to look for all the bad.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
And that's fine to vet these people.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And if Trump is bringing in a lot of devious
snakes like you did last time, it's fine to scream
about it. And you know I will, believe me, I will.
I'm going to right now. From what I see so far,
I'm very very pleased. Is everything perfect? No, but at
least things are clear. Let's talk about Marco Rubio first
(02:04):
and foremost, Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Well remember
first secretary of state, that is the diplomacy position. There
is secretary of State. He's the one who wants to
talk peace all the time. And then there's your secretary
of defense. Used to be called secretary of war. That's
a lot cooler. Your secretary of defense wants to bomb everywhere.
(02:25):
So the secretary of States, the peaceful guy. The secretary
of Defense wants everything calm or wants to bomb.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Everything from here to ancient times.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So Marco Rubio, who I have a lot of disagreements with,
moving into the Secretary of State position.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
At least at least he's not going to be in
the Senate voting for neo con positions, which he holds,
and at least we'll have instead of this endless tightrope walking,
at least will have some sort of clarity from the
Secretary of State.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Remember what he said about hom A at Israel.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
On the contrary, I want you guys to get this.
I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they
can get their hands on. These people are vicious animals
who did horrifying crimes, and I hope you guys post that.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
What about the civilians every day?
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Hamasa stopped hiding behind civilians, putting civilians in the way.
Hamas knew that this was going to lead to this.
Hamas has stopped building their military installations underneath hospital.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
So you don't care that fifteen thousand, You don't care
about the.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Babies that are every day.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I think it's terrible and I think Hamas is one
hundred percent to blame. That's what I think make sure
you post that.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Plan very clear.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Okay, Rubio was an average senator. Okay on some things,
he really sucked on some other things. He's no longer
in the United States Senate. He's going to be Donald
Trump's Secretary of State for I assume the next four
years you can sit and comb through his Senate record
and find all all kinds of garbage in there. I
have no problem doing that. I've screamed at Rubio a
(04:03):
thousand times. But Rubio moving to Secretary of State, I'm
fine with it. Totally fine with it, perfect, Oh, totally
fine with it. Why would I take away the joy
I have of the election over Marco Rubio?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I wouldn't. Tom Homan. We've already brought up Tom Holman.
I don't need to go into it again.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Being the borders are that shows commitment to mass deportation.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Susie Wilds, chief of staff, a very very serious, smart person.
No more of this idiocy in the White House. That's
what that tells me. Steven Miller. Good, Now, there are
other things people are complaining about, understandably so allegedly, rumor
has it, it's being widely reported, But that Christy Nome
(04:45):
is going to potentially be.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The next head of DAHS.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Now, Christy Nome, who has said things like this in
the past.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
They came into our country illegally. They need to be deported,
they just do. They broke our federal law. They need
to go home and come here correctly. We're either a
nation of laws or we're not a nation at all.
And right now the problem is we've got President Biden
setting a poor example. He is being a leader who's
knowingly violating federal law, and that is putting us in
a very dangerous situation. I've declared the southern border at warzone.
(05:19):
It's an invasion of our country.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Sounds good.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I don't know whether she's going to get in there
and enforce everything that needs to be enforced. Yes, I
understand the problems you have or I may have, with
certain aspects of Christy Nomes's record. Again, Christine Nome is
not perfect legislatively, and that's okay. Her being head of
DHS is just fine. I promise you cross my heart
(05:47):
and hope to die. If I start seeing a bunch
of evil, ignorant filth filling up the Trump administration again,
I will sound the alarm. We are getting a pretty
good team in there. Lee Zelden, head of the EPA.
That's a great pick. Mike Huckabee was announced earlier today,
Ambassador to Israel.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
That's a great pick. These are good picks.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Perfect No, because they're all politicians. There aren't perfect ones.
These are the ones you got all right. Now on
to the real, real, real important things. And I'm not
dismissive of Secretary of State and DHS. These are obviously
critical positions.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Attorney General, as I've said, that's the one to watch.
That's the big boy.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
If that one is flimsy at all, it's a disaster
because that person needs to clean out the Justice Department,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And the person who is
going to be Trump's age is going to have to
be confirmed by the United States Senate Senate leadership. The
vote is tomorrow. Of course, it's a silent vote. A
(06:52):
bunch of worthless cowards won't tell everyone how they're voting.
And I've been telling you for a while, I'm not
Johnny come lately on this.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I didn't come up with.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
This issue when everyone else started talking about it. I've
been hot on what a problem this is going to
be for a while. The list of potential replacements is
really bad.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yes, there is a chance a more conservative upstart like
Rick Scott can mount some sort of a revolution within
the Senate GOP.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And maybe takeover. That's probably about the best we could
hope for.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But the truth is, there have been a couple guys
who've been gunning for this leadership spot for a long time,
sucking up to Mitch McConnell, proving to the DC swamp
that their team players, of course, that they all play ball.
And those two names are John Cornyn, he's much less likely,
and John Thune, John Thune, John Thune from the blood
(07:50):
red state, John Thune, who should have been primary forever ago.
But of course he's handsome and speaks very well on TV,
so the moron GOP Mary voter goes out and votes
for him every time. John Thune's probably going to be
our next Senate Minority or majority leader. Saw it come
(08:12):
in a while ago, and it's bad. It's bad if
it's thuone or it's Cornyn, because those two will view
their roles differently than you view their roles. You and
I understandably would view having a Senate, a House, and
a presidency after an election as a mandate to drain
the swamp, secure the border, and do some good. John
(08:35):
Cornyn and John Thune would one hundred percent view their
roles as stopping that they want.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Business to continue as.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Usual, and so likely by the time we go to
bed tomorrow, one of these two men are going to
be the new majority leader.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Under the effective leadership of Director Ray, the agency has
remained committed to doing things independently and buy the book,
which I think is perhaps the most important characteristic we've worked.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
With the NRA.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
Listen to their concerns, but in the end, I think
they simply they have a membership and a business model
that will not allow them to support any legislation.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
John Corner of Texas told CBS News he simply doesn't
think Donald Trump can get elected president. Quite a statement
from Senator Cornyn. John Foon of South Dakota says America
is going to have to decide whether it wants to
deal with quote all the drama.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Donald Trump is the Republican nominee.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Would you support him?
Speaker 11 (09:43):
Well, I'm hoping we had to have other options.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Too.
Speaker 11 (09:46):
Many Americans live in fear that what happened to George
Floyd could happen to their own fathers and sons and brothers.
Do many Americans see in law enforcement officers individuals to
be feared rather than trusted. Americans are ready for all
of that to end. They want reform and increased accountability.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And let's remember not to beat everyone up, because we're
all in a good mood right now, and we should be.
But let's remember whose fault it is, Jesse. Why do
we have these crappy choices? John Cornyn is from Texas,
blood red. John Thune is from South Dakota, blood red.
How do we have loser senators like this? Because whenever
(10:34):
Donald Trump was on the ballot for president, the GOP
primary voter marches into the streets by the million to
make sure they work hard for him and get him elected.
As soon as Trump's off the ticket that GOP primary
in Texas, the MAGA hats.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Get put away.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Everyone sits at home, no one cares anymore. Only they
look around one.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Day and say, why we have these rhinos?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Because GOP primary voters are lazy and stupid in red states,
That's why we have these rhinos. Until the GOP primary
voter cares as much about his primary and his red
state as he does about.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Voting for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We will continue to have options like John Cornyn and
John Dunne in the United States Senate.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
All that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am
right now.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
We are going to talk to a couple senators tonight.
Marsha Blackburn, Rick Scott is here, doctor Kevin Roberts is here.
It's going to be a great show. First, let's talk
about preborn. Let's save a life real quick, shall we?
Preborn saves lives two hundred babies a day. That's what
you do when you give to preborn. How do they
(11:45):
do it well. They put up these clinics in the
highest abortion areas in the country. They go right into
the billy of the beast and they find these young
women who are about to have abortions, and they offer
them free ultrasounds if they can get her in. If
they're successful, she chooses life. Almost every time when a
woman here's that heartbeat, she chooses life. Twenty eight bucks.
(12:07):
That's what the ultrasound costs. And you know preborn's tax deductible.
Give him twenty eight thousand for all I care it
is tax deductible. Save a life and write it off
on your taxes. Preborn dot com slash jesse go save
a life.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
We need Rick Scott is our majority leader.
Speaker 12 (12:33):
Here's a serious individual, very successful person in the private sector,
successful governor of Florida. You know, he wants to challenge
these issues. I'm not sure the other people running Nessley.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Do wholeheartedly agree in joining us now as the man
who hopefully fingers crossed is going to be the next
Senate majority leader. Senator from the great State of Florida.
Rick Scott, Senator. Okay, how's it looking right now? Don't
blow smoke on me. Are you looking good? Is it
(13:04):
a disaster where we at?
Speaker 13 (13:07):
I'm optimistic, but there's so many of my colleagues that
just they're not saying where they are. So you know,
I'm going in. We're having a dinner tonight. It's so
frustrating because everybody can't be there. And then tomorrow they've
just told me that, you know, we we get to
make our pitch, but we don't get there's not going
to be a Q and A. I mean, look, they're
(13:28):
trying to rush this. That's you know, there's nothing, not
much I can do about it. So here's my pitch.
My pitch is real simple. I support Donald Trump's agenda
number one wholeheartedly. He got a mandate. Let's get it done.
That's one. Number two is I have the background to
get things done. I'm a business guy. I built the
largest hospital company. I built a variety of manufactured companies.
(13:50):
I was a governor of Florida. We turned our conomy
around in Florida. So I know how do get things done.
You set, you have a goal, you build a team,
you create a plan, you create the measurement systems, and
you keep working it every day to get it done.
That's what we need up here. We have big problems.
Let's get them fixed.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Senator, what are you guys having for dinner? I don't
know that.
Speaker 13 (14:15):
What they have up here is chicken and a little
bit more chicken. And they have a little bit more chicken.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
See.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I was hoping that I would hear something fancy, you're
freaking United States senators. I figured it would be steak
and lobster or something nice or something that.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Maybe that's the key, Senator.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Maybe you need to fut the bill and get some
lobsters and steaks in there and let's buy some votes.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
We need you in there.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
That I didn't think about that.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know if that's too late to do that.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I think some people might.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yeah, I'm sure they are. It all serious.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
This, why why the secret ballot help us? For those
of us on the outside looking in, I will never
be a senator and most people watching won't. Why is
secret ballot? Why is this something that's not done in
the open. Why won't your colleagues tell you whether or
not they're acting you. This seems confusing to people who
are watching and saying, why isn't this open right?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Why can't we all see why? It doesn't make any
sense to me. We look.
Speaker 13 (15:08):
You know, you know how I vote on everything else.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You know how I vote on judges.
Speaker 13 (15:12):
You know, if I vote on every nominee, you don't
have to vote on every bill. I don't get this,
and I don't understand why this is.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
It's rushed.
Speaker 13 (15:19):
We have we have new senators, new Republican senators. I
mean they just start orientation I think today, and so
tomorrow they've got to vote for the next two years
and maybe for you know, it's hard to change when
somebody gets elected, so who's going to be the majority leader? So,
you know, I don't get it, but I look, they
did this two years ago when I ran against McConnell.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
They rushed the vote to the next day.
Speaker 13 (15:43):
So this is a way for you know, for you know,
people to try to reduce the chance that the uh
that the outsider, the guy that wants to completely change
how we work. It makes you maybe get something done
like balance a budget, secure the border, get more America jobs,
you know, you know, hold China accountable, make sure we're
(16:04):
not in further warris the guy who wants to do
that has a harder time getting getting something done.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, of course, because he's not in the business of Washington,
which is what concerns me a great deal. I've made
my thoughts very clear to everybody on the other two
your running against that, I'm not going to ask you
to do the same.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But I have a great deal.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Of concern about Trump's appointments getting through getting confirmed if
we don't have a solid enough leader in the Senate.
But please tell me shoot me down. Is that a
valid concern, because I'm very worried about it.
Speaker 13 (16:35):
Well, let's look at history under Bill Clinton. He got
to do recess appointments. Under George W. Bush, he did
I think one hundred and seventy one recess appointments. Even
Barack Obama did thirty two. Trump with two years McConnell's leader,
two years a Schumer's leader, got no recess appointments. So
(16:56):
we've got to get his appointments done. If Schumer, which
all the anticipation will continue Douay's doing, tries to slow
down the process so Trump can put his team together,
then we've got to We've got to go into recess
and let Trump put his team together. So I've been
very clear. Trump has got to get be able to
put his team together. He got a mandate. We've got
to allow him to govern. We need we know we
(17:17):
have problems, and we need we we I just don't
get it why they don't understand that Trump won won
a mandate. These Democrats keep fighting Trump, and what they're
going to do is then in twenty six we'll pick
up more republic more and more Democrat seats. So you know,
I don't I don't get why these people don't realize
Trump got one with a man that won the popular
(17:39):
vote over three hundred electoral votes. I mean, he kicked
her butt because Harris's policies and Democrat policies are horrible
for your family.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
What this GOP leadership in sickness in DC? It's just
been going on for years and years and years, as
long as I've been involved politically. What is it about
the swamp that they love so much? They've been like
this forever. You can the names change, but it's always
the guys in leadership are constantly screwing over the Republican
(18:10):
base new Republican presidents.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Why help us understand?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
I've been up here six years, and the I've never
understood it. First off, I've never understood how all senators
are not part of the decision making process. Since I've
been up here, there's been two dictatorships, the McCollum dictatorship
and the Schumer dictatorship. They decide, they decide the bills.
We don't even have bills that go through committee. And
(18:37):
once they go through the Schumer McCollum decide on a bill,
they just put it on the floor. No amendment voats.
So I mean, so my only choice is to say
yes or no. If I don't like it. I can't
even try to amend it.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Nothing.
Speaker 13 (18:49):
This doesn't make any I never envisioned.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
It would be like this.
Speaker 13 (18:54):
I thought the US sendor one I would have the
ability to propose a bill, have it hurt. If I
can't get sixty votes, that's my problem. If I don't
get a vote, that's leadership's problem. So it doesn't make sense.
I said, we're gonna have amendment votes. Our builds are
going to go through committee. We're gonna get the Trump
agenda accomplished. Through hell or high water. Trump's agenda will
(19:16):
get high. We'll get accomplished.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You find it frustrated to go from being a CEO
and a governor to being a senator with no voice,
don't you. It sounds like an upgrade for a lot
of people, but it's a downgrade for you, isn't it.
Speaker 13 (19:31):
Well, you know, nice thing is that being a CEO?
But you know, a strong CEO to here's what they do.
They do what I'm proposing. Build a team, have a plan, constantly,
measure your yourself, make sure everybody around you is successful,
and you'll probably are going to be a successful CEO.
That's what I did as governor. We added one point
seven million jobs. We became number one higher education, Top
(19:53):
five and K twelve education forty seven year requirement. I
didn't do it because I was a dictator. I did
it because that brought people along. That's what we need
with a leader here. We need somebody who's gonna take
all the input and bring everybody together, say hey, we're
going to go down this path because it's good for
the people of your state. Now I'm gonna take your ideas.
(20:14):
I'm gonna implement their ideas. And this person's idea is
to get something done. It's not gonna be one person
makes the decision. So but we the But I look
at the bottom line is this, do you support Trump's
agenda or not. If you don't support Trump's agender, you're
probably not gonna let me. Are you gonna elect somebody
that knows how to create a process to get things done.
(20:36):
That's what I'm offering. I believe I'm gonna win. My
colleagues have said that's what they want. I hope that's
what the vote comes out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Senator, Moving off of this, what can we do with
fifty three seats? It's not sixty, but it ain't forty
nine either. We do have fifty three seats. Obviously we
can do something legislative.
Speaker 14 (20:58):
Lee.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What is realistic though, Well?
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Number one, all of the nominees can get done. All
the nominees can get done because you know, all those
nominees can get done with fifty one votes. So all
those actually with fifty with Jdvans, So all the nominees
can get done. It's just it's just you know, it
takes time, so we can get all those done. Number
two is all the tax the Trump tax cuts can
(21:22):
get redone fit to keep them because we can do
that with fifty one votes through reconciliation. So all those
things can happen. Now, I'm optimistic. My experience in my
business life is I if I talk to people, you
can find common ground. I look, Democrats are getting hurt
by having an open border. So hopefully there's seven Democrats
(21:44):
that want to do everything they can to make sure
we fix our border problem. I hope there's seven Democrats
that will come along and make sure we help make
sure we don't have a woke military. I hope there's
seven Democrats that say we've got to start creating full
time jobs. So my goal is to bring people together.
I have conversations and by the way, you need to
work with the House representatives. That's why I built a
(22:05):
very good org relation with Speaker Johnson, Tom Emmer, Steve
Scalise and the conservatives in the House because it takes both.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Senator, we are pulling for you. Good luck, go get
on the all. Let's hope. Let's hope.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
If we lose that one, it's going to hurt. Keep
marching on. Anyway, Switch your phone, switch your phone service.
We have Senator Marsha Blackburn next will ask her who
she's planning on voting for. But before we get to that,
you need to switch to cell phone service. Verizon is
a horrible company. It's what they do with your money
(22:47):
that's extra terrible. At and T T Mobile, these companies
hate you, They hate me, they hate our values, they
hate what we stand for, and they take the money
we give them and they do the worst things with it.
Pure Talk has never done that. We'll never do that.
Pure Talk loves this country. They hire Americans. That means
so much to me. When you get a hold of
someone at pure Talk, you'll find you're speaking to someone
(23:10):
who speaks English.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Go to puretalk dot com, slash jessetv and switch today.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
We'll be back.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
I invite every tendency and to work with me. Fight
with me is protect as we protect our freedoms and
our liberties. And fight with me so that we have
less government, so that we stop the overspending in Washington
and get this debt under control, so that we restore
(23:57):
our standing in the world and rebuild our military, and
we get that border secured, and that we protect our
children and make certain that when it comes to protecting
our girls in sports, that we.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
Know what a woman is and we know what a man.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I still can't believe how insane the communists are. How
did the whole trans thing, how did that ever even
get started? It's wild that the US Senator even has
to say that joining me now, Senator from the great
state of Tennessee. And now she's going to be parked
there for another six years, which we love, Senator Marshall Blackburn.
Senator fifty three looks a lot better than forty nine.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What can we do with it?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
And what we can do is make certain we get
the Trump Agenda passed and signed into law.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You know, Jesse.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
The American people voted and they have sent a mandate
to Congress. The Trump agenda is what they want done.
They want the tax cuts made permanent, they want the
border secured. They want to fill out this administration so
that we reduce the size of the federal government. That
means you've got to have cabinet secretaries that are going
(25:19):
to start throwing a red line through a lot of
what this administration, the Biden administration, has done, and what
the Trump administration can get in here and reorganize the
federal government so that it is more efficient and costs
the taxpayer less money. We also want to make certain
(25:41):
that our allies and know that they can depend on us,
Our enemies fear us. And yes, as I said, people
want to protect our children. They want to make certain
that girl sports are for girls and that you don't
have boys playing in girl sports.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Again, I can't believe that's a partisan thing, but anyway,
I'm glad we have to take that.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Stance at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Okay, as far as reducing the size of this government,
something you've been hot on for quite some time.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Can we do it?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Government employees are famously very difficult to get rid of.
You can't fire these freaking leeches. They get in there
and they just stay attached to you forever. What can
be done, what's realistic.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
This is why reorganization is so vitally important, and I
have encouraged the administration to freeze federal spending and federal
hiring on day one. I think if President Trump did that,
made it retroactive to January first of twenty twenty five,
then that would prohibit a lot of these people getting
(26:44):
pay raises or elevations in their writing. But Jesse, when
you reorganize the federal government, what you do is eliminate
positions that are no longer necessary. And then those individuals
their job has been deleted and they would have to
(27:06):
find another position, or they would have to go to
the federal to the private sector. The way I've looked
at it is this, If you say, all total, we've
got four million federal employees spread across the country, and
every year we have about eight hundred we have about
eight thousand, eighty thousand resignations and retirements out of that number,
(27:32):
Then if you just froze federal hiring, that helps you
get to that spot where you need to be. The
other thing is, if you're going to be a federal employee,
you need to be showing up for work every day.
We've got departments like the Veterans Affairs Department where people
(27:53):
that work in Veterans healthcare, those case workers work only
five days out of ten ten days the pay period.
They work five out of ten in person. Those that
are in VA benefits can work remotely eight out of
ten days. They only have to show up one day
(28:13):
a week in the office. We need to put a
halt to that. People need to go back to work
and get their job done.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Senator, let's talk about the Senate leadership race. That's what's
on everyone's mind right now. John Corny and John Thune,
Rick Scott, they've all been campaigning and jockeying and donating
money for this thing for quite some time, trying to
get to that Mitch McConnell's spot. Now that McConnell's stepping down,
who do you like for this and.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Why you know?
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Jesse We've had a forum tonight. I'm going to be there.
I've got my list of questions. We've got three good
guys I've reached out to. Rick Scott, haven't heard back yet.
Look forward to that conversation, and what I want to
do is see what their game plan is for getting
President Trump's agenda across the finish line and signed into law.
(29:09):
We should make that item number one.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
We need to move quickly.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
That first hundred days is going to be vitally important.
We have to have a Senate majority leader and the
other positions whip, our conference chair, our policy chair all
have to be people that are supportive of President Trump
and are going to push to get this agenda finished
(29:34):
in the Senate and then to President Trump's desk for
his signature. So who is going to be able to
do that? That is what I'm looking for answers to
because the imperative is we have to pass the President's agenda.
We have to get this country back on the right track.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Senator, what happens between now and the day Trump in
the new Senate and the new House is sworn in.
We all know Democrats with their dirty tricks. Everyone's already
heard about Elizabeth Warren. She's got a list of judges
she's going to try to cram in there.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
What can we stop? Can we stop all of it?
Some of it? None of it?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Do we just have to lay here helplessly for two
months while they abuse us.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Well, the power in the Senate moves from Democrat to
Republican on January sixth, January third, that is when we
reconvene and when we are sworn in. That day is
January third. So it is protecting that space between now
and January third, when we have the majority. When it
(30:42):
comes to these nominees they're trying to put on the
federal bench, You've got activists that have never been a
judge and now they want to go be a federal
district judge or go to the appellate court. These are individuals.
It is going to be important for us to block
these individuals. They if they have never been a judge,
(31:05):
if they have no experience and appellate law and they
want to go to the appellate court, if they're an
activist that has worked for a nonprofit, then what we
need to do is make certain that we have constitutionalists,
people that are going to abide by precedent and the
(31:25):
rule of law.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Okay, so that'll be none of them.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
If Democrats are the ones putting them up, I mean,
they're clearly not going to go for constitutionalists. And you
and I both know exactly which kind of turbo freak
nonprofits they're going to be snatching these people out of.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
You know what the game is? Can we stop them?
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Yes, it is putting holds on these individuals. It is
blocking them from moving forward in committee. It is reminding
people what their answers to questions were when they came
before us for the hearing. And we don't want activists
(32:04):
from the left or the right. We don't want activists
on the bench. People are looking for equal treatment under
the law, and it is frustrating when they hear about
two tiers of justice, when they witness two tiers of treatment,
two tiers of access and Jesse, I will tell you,
(32:26):
I think that's one of the things that drove people
to the ballot box and droves this election cycle. They
don't like government being weaponized against citizens. They don't like
two tiers of justice in two tiers of treatment. They
want it to be equal, and they want it to
(32:48):
be constitutional.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Senator, appreciate you very much. Congratulations again.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
All right, Doctor Kevin Roberts, the architect of Pro twenty
twenty five, is going to join us.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
In a moment before he.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Joins us, let's get your tea levels up. We might
be facing some really great times here. Don't you want
to feel good about it? Don't you want to be
in a good mood? Gentlemen, you find yourself down a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I'm sad. I don't know why. It's got.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Your tea levels are low. That's why you don't have
any energy. Ladies, you're running out of gas at two
or three in the afternoon. You need a female vitality
stack from Chalk. Guys, you need a male vitality stack
natural herbal supplements.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Ninety days.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
You will feel like a brand new person, probably sooner
than that. But try it for ninety days and tell
me how you feel.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Want a big discount on it.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Chalk dot com slash jessetv is where you go.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Get one. We'll be back.
Speaker 14 (33:54):
Look, I'm not leaving the country, all right.
Speaker 15 (33:56):
I never said that.
Speaker 14 (33:57):
I was never one of these celebrities delist her. Otherwise
there's like, and if Trump gets reelected, I'm leaving the
country and I'm going here and I'm going to do this.
Obviously I didn't want him to win. And you know
what's going to happen now, especially what project twenty twenty
five is yet to be seen how much they're going
(34:20):
to do of it, but I definitely suggest that you
read Project twenty twenty five. It's not that difficult of
a read at all.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's not a book.
Speaker 14 (34:29):
But I I have had the knock at the door,
So don't come at me and don't be talking to
me about you know, you should be so scared, Kathy,
and I'm sure you're packing your bags.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Well, that was hard to watch and hard to listen to. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Nobody has gotten more free publicity for his thing than
my next guest, the president of Heritage Foundation, doctor Kevin Roberts,
also author of a new book. You should probably pick
up Thorn's Early Light about saving this country? Doctor, how
much free if you had to guess, because you've been
doing this a long time, how much money in free
(35:11):
advertising do you think these crazy comedies have provided you
in Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
It's endless.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
I've never seen marketing like this in my life.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Well done, Yeah, I think about a billion dollars.
Speaker 16 (35:22):
I mean, basically what Kamala Harris raised for her ridiculous campaign.
Can I just say what knock has Griffin gotten on
her door?
Speaker 4 (35:30):
I mean, what a preposterous assertion.
Speaker 16 (35:33):
But that's what's going on with so many of these
unhinged lefties. The best thing we're going to do with
the Project twenty twenty five is fixed the ice cream
machine at McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Okay, so Project twenty twenty five obviously got a lot
of pub during the campaign. The Commedis tried to dump
the whole thing in Trump's lap. Trump said, I don't
know what. I don't have anything to do with it,
but it is wonderful when you and I have had
this talk before about it's a database, database, so we
have good people to select from to start filling up
(36:04):
these government rules.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
How's it looking.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
It's looking great.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
There are two parts to our project.
Speaker 16 (36:11):
One is the policies, which of course we do every
day at Heritage in conjunction with over one hundred other groups.
But the real key part of this, the long term
part of this, is the personnel database. We have about
twenty thousand names there. Way too early to prognosticate or
even estimate what number of them will be asked by
the current administration to go in. But I will say
(36:33):
that the way it's looking is that the President elect
is hitting a grand slam all of the names that
have been confirmed thus far, starting with the Chief of
Staff Susie Wilds to our visiting fellow at Heritage, Tom Homan,
who's going to be the borders are to my friend
Stephen Miller, Deputy chief to Marco Rubio.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
This is a stellar cabinet.
Speaker 16 (36:52):
And what I like about this, the most jesse to
sum up here, is that it reflects where conservatism is
right now. It doesn't reflect conservatism of ten or twenty
or forty years ago. It is an honest to goodness,
realistic view of where the country is. And I think
they're going to do just a spectacular job.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I do too, and that almost makes me nervous how
hopeful I am about.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Everything I'm seeing.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Obviously it's not going to be perfect, there's no such
thing as perfect in Washington, d C. But what is
realistic Kevin? If this is going to continue like this,
what's a realistic hope for what he can get done
in four years?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
It's just four years. There won't be another four after that.
Speaker 16 (37:34):
What can he do well? I'll separate that into two parts.
The first is what I think is realistic, perhaps even
somewhat likely by next summer so just six months in,
you're going to see the border closed. You're going to
see self deportation of a majority of the illegal aliens
who have come here. That's just the nature of what
happens when there is a very strong administration administering the
(37:57):
rule of law, not just at the southern board Jesse,
as you know, but also in the interior. That's when
Tom Homan gets right so well. But then I think
you're going to see the renewal of the Trump tax
cuts early on. That's going to be a boon to
the economy. And then thirdly, while I don't know which
agency it will be if I had to guess, and
it is just a guess at this point, I do
(38:18):
think that President Trump and Vice President Vance are going
to pick a particular agency, whether that be the Department
of Education or something else, and say we're going to
use this as an example to show to the American
people of what it looks like to devolve power from
Washington back to the States. And then with that head
of steam, legislatively, I think you're going to see massive
(38:40):
deregulation through executive orders, perhaps even through Congress. We've got
to get past the good thing, the filibuster and the Senate,
we don't have sixty votes and we have a very
slim majority in the House. There's a lot of this
action that requires legislation, and obviously, as conservatives, we want
that to happen. But I would think if we're sitting
here talking a year from now, well it won't be perfect.
(39:01):
Politics can't be. That's not how policymaking goes, even with
great men and great women involved.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
I think we're going to be really pleased.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
We have a huge, huge leadership fight for who's going
to be guiding the ship in the Senate.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
It's coming tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I've been vocally shouting for Rick Scott, and that is
not as much of an endorsement as Rick Scott actually
as much as it is. I know exactly what John
Thune and John Cornyn will mean. It'll just be a
continuation of Mitch McConnell. You talked to Rick Scott today,
didn't you.
Speaker 16 (39:34):
I talked to Rick Scott yesterday and did something that
usually we don't do at Heritage, and that is we
endorsed him. We usually let the members of the Senate
and the members of the House make their own decisions.
We respect that, but in this case, there's just too
much at stake. Senator Scott is one of my best
friends in Congress. He is He's just a real dude.
(39:54):
I mean, he's just a guy you can sit down
and have a cup of coffee with or a beer with,
very accomplished, someone who understands to your point, Jesse, that
we cannot continue to do business as usual in Washington
if in fact, the Republicans come together and select Senator
Scott as majority leader along with even though it's a
(40:14):
slim majority in the House, having Speaker Johnson there along
with the executive branch.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
To your first question, how are things going to go?
Speaker 16 (40:23):
They're going to go a lot better because Rick Scott
is not owned by K Street.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
The others are. And I'm.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Hoping Rick Scott gets it. But at this point in time,
from what I hear, doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
What are you hearing?
Speaker 16 (40:42):
Look, he started this as a long shot, excuse me,
as a long shot, and I think that those chances
have improved. He certainly believes that he can win. I
hope that he can. I will say that if it
isn't him, then I was certainly gratified to see the
letter that John Cornyan, who is sincerely a friend of
mine from my Texas day, wrote to his colleagues. I
think that offers some promise. This is the key thing.
(41:04):
Whether Senator Scott wins or loses, there has to be
a recognition by Republican senators that Mitch McConnell's days of
running Capitol Hill are over. He might have done some
good with judges, he might have done some good.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
In the past.
Speaker 16 (41:19):
I certainly respect him personally, but it is time for
him to move on and get out of the way
so that we can implement what the popular will from
the election is, which is that we must dismantle Washington's
power over the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Talk to me about this book, Don's early life. What's it.
Speaker 16 (41:40):
Well, it's a bit of a longer term view of
where we go from here. Obviously, heritage is very much
involved in the short term. We registered a lot of
voters and spend a lot of money on messaging in
the campaign. But another part of our job is, you know, Jesse,
is to articulate a vision about what America can look like.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
And picking up on.
Speaker 16 (41:58):
This conversation for that you and I are having, which
is an attempt to undermine the power of the deep State,
undermine the power of the elites in Washington and New York.
I use that as a pivot point to hopefully, I hope,
inspire people with these words of Francis Scott key Don's
Early Life, that might, we might, We just might in
the twenty twenties have an opportunity to reinvigorate the American
(42:22):
dream by doing what by getting Washington out of the way,
by not only giving state and local governments more power,
but very importantly, we can do something that every individual
American plays a role in, and that's revitalizing our communities,
revitalizing our civic associations, revitalizing in fact, what makes America America,
which is our relationships.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
That's the kind of thing that the radical.
Speaker 16 (42:46):
Left has tried to destroy by undermining our public schools,
undermining our colleges and universities. And it's incumbent on us
to realize that politics is not everything as important as
in fact politics is.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Doctor Kevin Roberts, his book is The Don's Early Light.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
Go pick it up. Thank you so much. I appreciate
you very much. Come back anytime. All right. We have
one of my favorite light in the moods. Ever. Next,
all right, let's lighten the mood.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
First.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Before we lighten the mood, make sure you go subscribe
to my YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash at Jesse KELLYDC.
We put some extra things on there you can't really
get anywhere else. And next, I've said before that the
communists hate me, say I'm too harsh and all this
other stuff.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
And I've said.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
I'm an adorable teddy bear compared to the next generation
that's coming. You want to hear from the next generation.
Carson called into my radio show.
Speaker 17 (43:52):
This is what he said, person from Colorado twelve years old,
what's up, brother?
Speaker 10 (43:58):
Hello?
Speaker 15 (43:58):
I wanted to tell you that for Halloween, I just
up as Donna Chump and went to my school and
tried to piss off all the commedy liberal teachers because
it was really funny. They kept telling me to take
my wig off in my hat. I will I want
to make America great again. It was hilarious. I'm all
my friends from my bodyguards, and they're all conservatives.
Speaker 17 (44:20):
Corson you give my best to your friends. Well done,
young man, Well done. I'm telling you right now we're
gonna be all right. You got I keep trying to
tell these commies. They're always calling and complaining, the corporate
and the email. On the show, My Jesse So mean, Jesse,
so mean. You think I'm mean, you wait until Carson's
generation comes up. I'm an adorable little teddy bear compared
(44:44):
to how hardcore these kids are now, the young boys,
they've had enough of your mental illness.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
We're gonna be all right. I'll see them all
