Speaker 2 (00:16):
Okay, Matt Gatz, it's playing fullback. Don't say I didn't
tell yet, because we did right here on the podcast.
When Trump picked Mattyetz for Attorney General, I again I
was thrown off by the pick. I'm like, really, because
(00:38):
again I looked at his resume. He's not like he's
a stupid guy, but he had really practiced as a
prosecutor at any point in time. And we said right
here that my belief system is that Trump is softening
the Democrats up. I really do think that this is
a piece of really serious piece of three D chess
(00:59):
that he's playing right now. Have the Democrats have the
media attack, go after go nuts over one of your
picks because it's out of left field, and then what
it does is it softens up the process for ladder picks.
Much like an NFL full back, it's a position nobody
(01:21):
really uses anymore in the NFL. I mean full back
running through the whole first, tailback, follow through, lead blocker
coming through, and basically, in my opinion, that's exactly what
the Trump team did with Matt Gatz where he's going
to end up. It's interesting because he resigned, resigned from
(01:43):
the House, but he resigned from the House until January
when the new house comes in, and he already run
that race, so he's not in his position in the
House right now, but he already won his election next
time around out so he could basically be you know,
he doesn't have to be relucted, it only counts for
(02:05):
this term, so he could be back in the House
once again. Yeah again. You know, we're seeing the various
different things online, the peccadillos from these various different people,
hag sets obviously having some issues too at this point
in time, and I'm starting to wonder whether or not
(02:26):
he is another full back as well. Pam Bondi coming
in and I've had the the opportunity a pleasure, quite frankly,
of interacting with Bondy on several occasions. We used to
we'd appear on CNN together back during the financial crisis
(02:47):
and various different hits and a very very warm, nice
person and quite friend. It's very good at her job,
very much an experienced player in that field, and again
I don't think she'll have any trouble getting through Watchdog
on Wall Street dot Com
