Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to Veronica Live. And I'm here with my wingman,
John Salak, and we have a Veronica regular, Don Arius.
He was my co host the first year. I was
joking that he was my first radio husband. And and Don,
you commented to John that you still have visitation rights
and I said, where are my alimony checks?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah? It was amicable, It was It was musual and amicable.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
And I still invite you on so and you are
you are. That's the thing. You are still a big
deal because you're a nine to eleven advocate. Your brother sadly,
Adam was killed in nine to eleven, but you go
on Fox News all the time. So I feel so
honored to always have you on Vronica Live because you
are a national figure yourself.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well in a in a very small way. And I
just hope that my efforts in some small way push
a little common sense out there into the media and
into people's minds. I mean, we've suffered through four years
of it was like a bad Seinfeld episode. It's like,
you know, let's do the opposite of what a normal
person would do. It's like opposite, say, well, we had

(01:14):
opposite four years of craziness and now you know, we've
got some sanity finally sinking into our government institutions, and
I'm excited. I'm excited for the next four years. And
I actually believe that this Golden Age of America is
real and it's starting and we're part of that history.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well, I was going to ask you, because you and
I we did different things in the military, but we
were both public affairs officers and that was what I
did for like the last ten years of my career.
And the new Press Secretary, Carolyn Levitt, was just on
before I started doing shows today, and oh my gosh,

(01:57):
people were texting me and I was like, wow, the
like she was on fire. She's only twenty seven, you know,
she's a young mother, married mother, and she was dishing
it back. She's like President Trump already answered that next.
I was so impressed. She wasn't like in her binder,
nobody had to adjust her wig on her head. She
actually answered questions, don so what were your thoughts? I mean,

(02:21):
she's a little powerhouse. I was so impressed.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I didn't get to watch the whole thing, of course,
because I was in a rotary meeting while all this
was going down, So I had to come home and
pull it up on YouTube. So if you won't watch
the whole thing, it's out there on YouTube now. And
I got to tell you, I for someone as young
as she, right, she is composed, super mature. You could
tell us you probably had some butterflies, you know, getting

(02:47):
out there the first time. But she killed it. She
crushed it.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh my god, I'm so incredible.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
And you just can't argue with success. You can't argue
with logic, although I'm sure some are. But what really
was heartening to me was at the top of this
whole thing, she gave out the facts, the statistics on
where people get their news and guess what, legacy media,
it ain't you anymore. So they opened up, they opened

(03:14):
up the press pool in the White House to podcasters
and people in the h in that new media, new
emerging media, and especially for young people. They're they're done
with legacy media. And and I'm done with legacy media too.
Sometimes I'll switch it on just to see what the
other side is saying. But uh, I think we're on

(03:36):
the on the cusp of a new age in uh
In in how the government communicates with the people. And
she's at the forefront of it, and she was she
was good, and she was really good.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
It was it was just a breath of fresh air
because Krene Jean Paul was literally like that woman needs
to be fired every time she had a press conference.
So I was so happy. But I know, you were
just on Fox News this weekend, this past weekend talking
about the Israeli hostage exchange. So what were your thoughts
on that, because once again we have an alpha male

(04:09):
and when he talks, hostages get released. Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, you know, the last four years of watching it's
just the pathetic bungling of Biden and his people. And
you know, if it weren't so tragic, it would be funny.
But people died, people lost their lives, people have they've turned,

(04:35):
you know, people's lives upside down because of their feckless
foreign policy that encouraged October seventh, where two hundred and
fifty one people were taken from Israel and held hostage,
where more than twelve hundred men, women, and children, including
forty six Americans, were slaughtered by hamas and some of

(04:56):
them killed in pretty grisly ways. So this is the
upshot of like everybody thought Biden was a joke. No,
he's not a joke. He's he's tragic. I mean that
guy was tragic. And for them to claim that they
had something to do with this release is ludicrous because
Trump siggles out loud and clear on multiple occasions, all

(05:18):
hell's going to break loose in the Middle East if
these people aren't released by the time I take office.
And guess what they start, they make a deal, they
start releasing people. Now you know, humas, they're not they're
they're not honest brokers at all. They're not honest people.
They're psychos. And of course they renig on just about

(05:41):
every deal they do. They were supposed to release five
female hostages, and they only released four female hostages, so
we can only imagine what the fate of that fifth
one was. It was a civilian, but the the four
female military hostages were later for release. They were among

(06:03):
the seven female soldiers that were kidnapped from the military base.
And we say soldiers, you know, they were members of
the IDF. They were lookouts, and they were young girls
and we say young women, but they were like nineteen
and twenty years old. These were essentially kids that they
had kidnapped. So I know, and you, guys, I'm sure

(06:24):
would agree that if we want my loved one or
one of your loved ones, you'd make a deal with
the devil himself, wouldn't you to get them back. That's
and that's exactly what Israel did. They made a deal
with the devil, and it's going to come back to
haunt them. They made a deal with the devil, and
they're letting go hundreds of Palestinian prisoners who were tried

(06:49):
and convicted of crimes, some for terrorism, some for murder,
some for rape, some for a lot of egregious things.
So letting go hundreds of convicted criminals for for innocent
female military hostages whose only crime was doing their duty

(07:09):
for their country and being in the wrong place at
the wrong time. So, from where I sit, I rejoice
in their repatriation to Israel, But from where I sit
just being a nine to eleven family member and seeing
all these high jinks and deals and nonsense that's going
on at GITMO. Negotiating with terrorists is always a mistake.

(07:32):
Whether it's on the battlefield, whether it's in a hostage situation,
whether it's in court, it's always a mistake because it
always comes back to haunt you. It gives legitimacy to
terrorists and their methods. It just tells them that this
kind of stuff works, that war crimes like kidnappinggast laughter works,
you can get what you want. It reinforces that bad behavior.

(07:57):
And the saddest part is that it really undermines the
legitimate and peaceful efforts of those who are trying to
seek peace through peaceful means. So the people who are
like the honest brokers are really trying to reach some
sort of solution here are kind of delegitimized because they're like, hey, look,
we killed a bunch of Israelis and we took them hostage,

(08:18):
and we're getting our people out. We're getting what we want.
So it just shows them that it works. And it's
a very dangerous precedent because it undercuts all of our
efforts to outlaw international terrorism. You know, all countries have
to agree that terrorism and hostage taking is just wrong
and it shouldn't be rewarded. But again, if it were

(08:40):
my kid, i'd probably make the deal. But from the
macro view of things, it's just bad policy and it's
bad business. Now the Israelis have made the deal, and
they're nobody's fool. So you know, who knows maybe out
of these hundreds of prisoners they released, who knows how

(09:00):
many of them are going to get exploding cell phones
or radios or.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
We know that that movie Munich I'm sure you saw
with gorgeous Daniel Craig about the Israelis, like they they
did an op on people that that killed their their
their Israelis and went after them and killed everybody. So yeah,
we'll let you go, but we might come back for you, John,

(09:25):
go ahead, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Don what why do you think that the Biden administration
did the deal?

Speaker 4 (09:31):
I mean where they're wanting the credit for it.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I know, if Trump had been in power, it would
not have happened because Biden, you know, Anthony B. Lincoln
and Sullivan, you know, they basically were negotiating on behalf
of hamas you know, with the Israelis, so and Trump
would not would not have taken that position. So how
do you think the deal would have been if if
if Trump had been been running it?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, you're absolutely right. It was a face scape being
measured by the Biden administration. They tried to put their
stamp on it, but everybody knows this is all Trump's doing.
It was the Trump effect that we've all heard of.
And if Trump were doing it, if Trump, October seventh
would have never happened, Because I was He signaled weakness,

(10:20):
weakness and fecklessness and disarray and chaos. That was the
message across the world. We all saw it on TV
as he fell up the stairs of Air Force One,
as he mumbled and stumbled his way into the jungle
in South America, as he you know, as he misspoke
and walked in the wrong direction.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
And at the Air Force Academy, that was a hoot.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh my god, the Air Force Academy.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, she said, everybody in the audience didn't know what
to do.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah. And to answer John's question, this would have never
happened under the Trump administration. This country would never be
in that position. But let's say they had, let's say
they were bold enough to pull off October seventh with
Trump being president, it would have been fire and fury
from the Israelis. Because all the Bide administration did, with

(11:16):
Blincoln and all those other than Jake Sullivan, all they
did was try to hold back the Israelis. That's all
they did. They tried to hamstring them, tie their hands
behind their back any way they could, because they live
in a world of more equivalency that somehow Hamas, although
duly elected, you know, they believe it's a legitimate government

(11:37):
and they're on equal footing with the Israelis. I totally
reject that. I totally reject that, and I think most
straight thinking people so you cannot, you know, equivocate in
the face of terrorism. Just because they call themselves a government,
just because they have enough psychos to put them in power,
doesn't mean that they're good and doesn't mean that they're

(11:58):
not terrorists. So I think they had this moral equivalency.
And also these people that were around Biden were steeped
in the CRT business, you know, this critical race theory
where you're either an oppressor or the oppressed.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
And I haven't even read stuff with the Hispanic oppressor.
I didn't know it.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
I guess you must be a self hating Latin X
you know.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I think it's I think it's pronounced Latins.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, which the Latin people didn't like when they got
renamed because the Biden administration didn't like brief them on it.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
And I got to tell you that's one thing I
love about the Latin world if you've ever traveled to
that part of men are men and women and women,
you know, they really are. I mean, macho is a
thing off of the board, you know, and uh, you
call them last like tinks. It kind of rubs a
lot of people the wrong way. But you know, so

(13:09):
they've divided the world into oppressors and the oppressed, and
of course they they've categorized the Israelis as the oppressors
because they're white, and which just shows their ignorance because
not all Jews are white, not all Israelis are white,
and not all Israelis are Jewish, right, So that so
that so the the brown people are the oppressed, the

(13:31):
white people are the oppressors. And that's that was the
Biden's going in position into this these ultimate surrender. Now,
the flip side of this thing is I'm sorry, John,
go ahead, So what did you think.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Of Trump's proposal to basically ship all the all the
gods of strip people to Jordan and each now and
now you're Egypt are all flipping out over We don't
want them, of co course.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
They don't want them. Yeah, who the who wants these people?
They're violent, right, They're not to be trusted. And you know, now,
Egypt and Oman were instrumental in making this deal, right,
they were. They were trying to be the brokers of
peace here. But if you ask Egypt and Omn, hey
would you take refugees, They're like, yeah, no, we don't
want them. So they and what people don't realize is

(14:28):
Gaza is the most densely populated place in the world.
I don't know what the square miles is, but they
they have like three million people in Gaza. And now
it's essentially as President Trump would say, a demolition site, I.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
Would call it a shithole. I mean, that was a
sad thing. It's like it's destroyed now literally it's destroyed.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
But you know what this was a this was a
choice to destroy their country. How did they think the
Israelis were going to react? I mean, these guys would
rather have the cause than the peace. They would rather
have the war than the peace. They would rather have
killed civilians than have the peace, because that's how they

(15:13):
stay in power, by keeping this constant state of war going,
by always having the Jewish boogeyman. And they're teaching their
kids all this stuff too. You know that the Jews
are not to be trusted. You know, the whole blood
libel thing is real with them. They're just haters. So
now I'm sure that doesn't extend to every Palestinian or

(15:35):
every person who lives in Gaza, but that's the official
position of their government, is that Israel has to be
wiped off. And what wiped off the matter? What do
you think from the river to the sea means, you know,
the rivertendency what Rivet were talking about. We're talking about
the Jordan and the Mediterranean. All right, You're gonna be
wiped off. That's it, You're done.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
You know, So don So where are all the other countries?
You know that?

Speaker 3 (16:00):
And I'm including you know, the Saudis and Oban and Egypt,
you know, the UN European forces whatever you know. I
read they have the ceasefire and the only people they
have available to keep the peace in Gaza is Hamas.
You know, they basically turn Harmas people into into a
police force again, and you know they have special uniforms

(16:21):
and all this stuff. And I'm like, this is insane.
Where is a neutral party to come in and that
hold this?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, that's the fox watching the Henhouse. You know that
that's all that is. They've empowered these people as quote
unquote peacekeepers when they're the furthest furthest thing from it.
They're they're terrorists, they're soldiers. They're terrorists who get to
dress up as soldiers. You know. It's and you know,
a lot's been said about the recruiting that that they've had.

(16:50):
It's been reported, and I don't know that I even
believe it all that they've got up to about fifteen
thousand new recruits because of its successes that Hamas has
had with these so called negotiations. Fifteen thousand. Now, of course,
you know Israel has bombed out their country. So yeah,

(17:10):
they're they're they're they're pissed off, they're mad, and a
lot of these young people were angry and Hamas is
just capitalizing on it. It's it's very very tragic. It's
going to take an effort, I think, John, like we
saw after World War Two, the denosification of Germany, and
I mean they had hit or youth that had not

(17:31):
yet gotten into the war that had to be deep
denazified and re educated. And I think that's that's got happening,
got and you were talking about millions of.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
People, right, and from what we've seen of their their school,
you know, they start teaching their stuff in school.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
I mean they actually teach it.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
You know.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
The Jews are to be a terminal like three and four.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I mean, it's disgusting that that human life means nothing
to them. Now you're you're right, we've got to change
this attitude. So I wanted to talk about our brand
new sec Secretary of Defense sec def Pete Hegseeth. They
literally dragged his ass through the press and the and
through these nomination hearings, and then you know, some some

(18:16):
insider was saying that he wasn't gonna make it. I
got word of this, and I am so glad he
made it. But oh my gosh, the poor guy. I mean,
he's definitely not a saint. He's not who I wanted.
But I wanted Trump to have who he wanted, and
and to think what these people have to go through.
I mean, it was the mud was just horrific. What

(18:38):
he did to his family, his children. It's not gonna
be on the internet forever. I mean, they totally suck
and thank goodness for you know, JD. Vance was the
tiebreaker by the one vote. But yeah, talk about heg
Seth and then and then you know, I want to
get into the COVID too, where letting all the all

(19:02):
the military members that left eight thousand can come back
in with with back pay. So we've got to talk
about that as well.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah, well, you know what they did with hag sets
It was the same thing they did with Kavanaugh. You know,
they had the gin stuff up. They had to fight.
Oh here's a here's a real uh stunning revelation. Young
soldiers drink to excess from time to time. Oh my god,
let me let me, let me cut my Oh.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
My gosh, I'm very fighter pilot.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Hello, And I know it's certain then they've done that,
you know, hello. I mean so this this is what
would had them on in an uproar. And oh guess what.
The guy was a player too, all right? Well, you know,
and like I like to say, and I don't know

(19:56):
who I stole this quote from somebody, but you know,
every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
And I love that.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's really good. He might have had some indiscretions in
his past, but I don't think that they were most
of them were proven as unfounded. You know, so what
are we talking about? They're just making noise. Now, let
me tell you he's not a He's an unconventional choice, right, he.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Has at the executive level. But I think once he
takes his shirt off and starts running with the troops,
all the women are going to be happy and the
troops are going to be like, wow, this sectef is
around in shape and can run a ten miler. You
know what I'm saying, Because Secretary Austin has looked awful.
I understanding of the prostate cancer, but he looked awful

(20:48):
when he was wearing a uniform. So, and the other
thing I think is that Trump is not going to
allow HESA to go rogue. It's it's what Trump wants
and that's what hegscept kept saying, is that he's going
to deliver what Trump wants. And I'm so excited about it.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Well yeah, and I think he's going to rise see
the occasion too. He's no dummy. I mean, he's got
the right petite. I mean, Austin was a West Point guy.
But so what you.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Know, ivy league times too degrees.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Exactly right, He's a Princeton guy. He's a Harvard guy,
so not that that means anything anymore, but you know,
he's no intellectual slouch. There'll be a steep learning curve.
But I think he's up to the job. He's a
young guy, and I think he's he's a smart guy.
And you know, when when this second Deaf nomination of
HEGSAF was announced, it took a lot of people by surprise,

(21:45):
and even me because I kind of liked the guy.
But I was like, that's an unlikely choice. And then
I thought about it. I was like, he couldn't possibly
any be any worse than Lloyd Austin. Terrible, because when
you Lloyd Austin actually did although he has the right pedigree,
you know, I mean, this guy stood by like a

(22:06):
cigar store Indian while they cooked up this insane plan
to evacuate Afghanistan. I mean, if you didn't know any better,
you think that this guy couldn't organize anything above a
brigade level, let alone a massive tactical retrograde in the
face of a hostile enemy. I mean, this guy gave up,

(22:29):
you know, an airfield we should have never given up,
and then handed security over to our enemies. To the Taliban.
I mean, who thinks like that?

Speaker 1 (22:38):
What mil and who leaves billions of dollars of equipment?
And then then they knew who the person was that
was gonna blow up the area, and they didn't take
take him out. I mean, what's wrong with these people
that you don't protect Americans?

Speaker 2 (22:54):
You should have never gave up bag or mayor base ever.
You should have just kept.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
That forever, fat, dumb and happy over there.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Oh yeah, we're taking it.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
But you know the other thing too, don, Don is
what what what people seem to never address is the
fact that you know, there's a concept called span of control.
You know, yet there's how many hundreds of thousands of
people in the Pentagon, you know, millions actually when you
combine all the forces, and it's like he's not sitting

(23:27):
there buying paper clips, you know for the company clerk.
He's not approving that. Okay, he has people that work
for him, and it's the organizational structure that he puts
in and the people that puts around him.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
That's what success is. And he's smart enough to do that.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Not not does he know every every you know, where
every diamond nicol is going. You know, for procurement and whatever.
You know, know every warfare fighting concept in the world
that that's it's not what the job is, and that's.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
What they make it sound like.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
You know, he don't know anything about you know, about
organizational dynamics, you know, but.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
It's heart in the right place and it's all about
the soldier on the ground. So do you think Pete
haig Seth would have ever agreed to getting out of
back room and saying, yeah, let's hand security over to
the Taliban and will operate out of their airport. No,
I don't think so. And you know, as any commander
will tell you, whether you're a civilian commander in DoD

(24:23):
you know, at the top of the whole pyramid there,
or you're a company commander, the welfare of your troops
in your charge is a sacred duty. And Lloyd Austin
shirk that duty. When you send them into harm's way,
you better have a damn good plan to get them
home safely. And he didn't. No, I went to Air

(24:46):
War College. I'm not a genius. It was a long
time ago. I sat through the class. I know what
I probably need to know. But you know, as any
Air War College graduate can tell you every single Branson
sequel of an operation has to be considered and contingencies
should be in place for every possibility. Lloyd Austin didn't

(25:07):
do that, and he didn't oversee it to say, hey,
what if Taliban doesn't come through for us on security?
Hey what if you know, we give a backgram and
they and they sent a bomber in the gate? What
if you didn't ask those questions? He stood by. He
stood by helplessly while a feckless administration cooked up the

(25:30):
disastrous plan, and he stood by and watched it go down.
And we got thirteen Americans dead there, and brave Americans,
no doubt, that went into an untenable situation, and untold hundreds,
maybe thousands of Afghans lost their lives. So these little
political games, and remember this was all on nine to eleven.

(25:53):
If you remember the twenty that.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Was a slap in the face. I forgot about that
point that just to do on nine eleven.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Gross, they were going to like, yep, we're going to
do it on nine to eleven. The people will love it, sir,
Oh yeah, we'll do it on nine to eleven.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Thousands people were falling out of the airplane tires. I
didn't even have the damn area secured. I mean, why
these generals are still walking around it?

Speaker 6 (26:22):
That's theirs are going to be fired, which which this numbers,
I don't know if they're This was on X this
morning that Trump.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Just fired eighty nine almost nine thousand active duty and
almost six thousand reserve troops who I did as transgender.
Can you even believe that those are the numbers.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
I can't even believe that that was.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
A civilian study.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Why we allowed these people?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I think it's way too high.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Okay, that makes me feel I've.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Been in the you know, related to the Air Force,
I mean thirty one years of service, another eleven years
as a DoD employee working for the Air Force. I
never met one trans person in my life. I met
plenty of gay people, which is fine, nobody cares, nobody
really cares. But I never met a trans Okay, So

(27:21):
this fifteen thousand number I think is greatly exaggerated. I
really do think it's exaggerated. But even if it weren't, yeah,
I think I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.
I would like to see the study. But even if
it were true, It is a fabulously expensive undertaking to

(27:44):
appeal to someone's fetish like this. First of all, it's
one hundred grand alone just to get this operation done.
And then that's a lifetime of therapies, both physical and
psychological therapies after this that accompanies painkillers, mood ell of
and all the other crazy shit that goes along with
this type of stuff. I don't think that's what we

(28:05):
want out of our fighting men and women. No. I
think we want people who are stable, people who are decisive,
people are secure in their identities enough to go out
there to break things and kill people when we ask
them to. And whether that's in an office or out
in the field.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Don't get you all excited. That's his that's his tagline,
break things to kill people. But I don't need a
man wearing the border. Why this Petrie dish crap was
ever allowed? If you're gay, I don't care. We're past
all that. That's fine. But a man that's six foot
three wearing a skirt in my pumps hell No. And

(28:44):
I saw them because General C. Q. Brown sat in
an auditorium when when this woman, well she man, it
was a man that was a woman in a colonel
in the Space Force talked about my pronouns. I'm a
she and it looked like a man. So I am
so happy this. I mean, this was disgusting.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
C Q.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Brown needs to go.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Embarrassment. It's an embarrassment. Can you imagine what you go? Ahead, John,
I'll just say what.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Trump f ORed the head of the admiral that was
in charge of the coast Guard her name.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yes, right, You think he's going to fire Brown?

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Hell, yes, hell, yes, he's next.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I think it's a matter of time because I think
Brown really buys into the DEI nonsense. I really think
he's a champion of that.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
He said the cockpit should be filled with African American people.
I am married to a fighter pilot. I have flown
twice in a fighter jet. And you have to have
the ability and the capability and and just you have
to have the education. You You can't just go I'm
going to go be a fighter pilot, John, I'm going

(29:53):
to be a fighter pilot tomorrow, because well, you know
what it does to your body just so much.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Not only that, you could just can't set a quota.
First of all, the numbers don't even make sense when
thirteen percent of the population is black. Why would you
want forty percent in the cockpit, which is an over representation.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
You have to be able to do it physically and
mentally and not that because they say when you're flying
a mission like the like five hundred things are coming
at you.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
You know.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I told my husband the other day, I said, do
you think you could find me pac Man and Space
Invaders like we're the first Atari Games? Because I was
really bad. I'd like to try again. And he was
laughing so hard because I don't have the ability. You
know what I'm saying. You have to be born with it.
You can't just say I'm going to go and strap
on a fighter jet that's two hundred million dollars and

(30:44):
go fly. That's not how it works.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
But here's what the this chief doesn't really understand. And
people who would want to put quotas in, well, people
become pilots, particularly fighter pilots. It's a fire in the belly.
They've had some.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Five my husband since he was five and solid thunderbirds.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
And your son's my son, that's right. My son's a
marine fighter pilot and he wanted it since he was
a little boy, and so I got him his very
first flying lesson when he was eleven years old, that
at the Aero Club here Attendol and he was hooked.
After that, he had all the little flight games and
like he everything he did with his young life was

(31:26):
to work toward that goal of being a fighter pilot.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well saying I'm going to go be an Olympic swimmer
at five to two, I wouldn't be anybody. And you
have to have training ability and the drive to show
up every day because when you've ever heard, like the
pro Olympic athletes, they literally swim eight hours a day.
Who the hell wants to be a pool for eight

(31:51):
hours a day? John? That'll mess up my hair.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
This isn't some office job.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Seeing here on Veronica Live that c Q. Brown is gone,
g O n E. Because he's gone. We can't all
of these generals have been nominated. It's political. As we know,
we've had all kinds of authors that have written books
and shed the light on these people. They need to go.

(32:20):
But I am so happy about the transgender thing. When
you see a man that's six foot three in a
skirt and trying to wear my pumps, I am sorry.
Why why are we ever allowed to be a Petrie dish.
There's nothing to do about being gay. Enemies laughed at us,
They laughed at us.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
I think, but I think you should live and live,
no doubt about it. But the military is not a
place we don't have is Pete heegsas said. We all
get the same bad haircut and the and the key unity.
And they all say that, you know, diversity is our strength.
No it isn't, or common are our strengths. We all

(33:01):
are Americans, we all love our country. We're all willing
to lay it on the line for our country. That's
our strength, not our differences. And I think they've they've
just the whole premise of the DEEI program is destructive
to unit cohesion up and down.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
That's man of command.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
You got it, don Because what is what is when
you go to boot camp or OCS or whatever, what
do they teach you? They break you down from your
from your civilian differences and everybody is the same.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
That's what the haircuts about.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm old enough to remember, right, I'm an old guy.
I went through Basic training in nineteen seventy seven, and
our our talk there about I guess what would be
DEI today. Back then was about you know, about prejudice,
and they're like, yeah, if you're prejudiced or you don't
like somebody from another race or ethnic background, you better

(33:56):
keep it to yourself because that don't fly here. We
don't want to know about it. It says we're all green.
You're not black and white, We're all green. And that
that was it. That was all. That was our sensitivity training.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
And we saw under Millie to the Pride stuff was
out of control. They were doing stories on Facebook saying, oh,
in this Chief, she's gay and and again I don't
you can be that. We can accept you, you can
have your partner, but I don't need stories about how
you're gay. Where they made you know, there was a

(34:29):
Facebook post as Chief saluting and they made her the
Pride flag was this like embedded on her. And I
was like, I don't want to know about this. Again,
we're the military.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
So your business has nothing to do with and Milly
is an embarrassment. Yes, and it's looking that he got
a pardon because he should be held accountable, should be
in jail.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Did you did you read statement? He was like, yeah,
you know, he was the starter of that. We had
all this white supremacy in the military, which oh, by
the way, we didn't for twenty years, we did not.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
I haven't had a stan down. Yeah, often held a
stand down the US forces to evaluate you know, racism
and white supremacy in the armed forces, because that was
the trope that the left was pushing that if you military,
you're a white racist and you're probably from white middle
class uh uh middle flyover country. Uh, and you're the

(35:31):
enemy because you're you're you're just white, poor trash and
you're probably racist. And that was that's their presumption. This
is the way these people think. So they had to
stand down to root out you know, white supremacy in
the services. And it was like a minuscule amount.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
It was not like what one person out of a million,
you know what I'm saying. It was so.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Over and a weekend at Bernie's. President Parrot is the
same nonsense on TV like what why why? M is
like was just reading a prompter that you know, you
don't have.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Time if you're really doing your missions, which the military,
you never have enough people. You know, you're trying to
prep for war and practice like you fight. We don't
have time for this stuff. So what they did to
us that what's so funny is when one of the
executive orders was the DEI offices are gone, and everybody rejoiced.

(36:25):
This One friend on Facebook that's a liberal was like,
this is so awful. Oh my gosh. They have families too.
But it's been it's been one of those griffs in
the civilian sector, these de I offices, because they're all
making a half a million dollars writing a lot. Follow
the money, yes, and it's been a big question.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah, well it's awful. You know what's awful. What's awful
is when you've got these these cartoonish type recruiting commercials
that don't relate to anybody but a small subculture and
their obsession with the first and what's what's really tragic
is that they've alienated traditional sources of recruiting, you know,

(37:11):
as evidenced by this cartoonist DEI recruiting commercial. I don't
remember that one about this girl who's like, I have
two moms.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
That's because they just replayed it the other day and
I was I was with around an alpha male who
had never seen it, and they couldn't believe that was
a commercial. It was like such a turn off.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
And then they scratching their heads saying, why are people
joining in the military now? You know, so Austin created
a military where soldier sail those am and the Marines
were encouraged to use the preferred pronouns and emails. I
don't feel around for that, but I remember seeing a
memo from DD come down and saying, hey, if you
want to use your preferred pronoun, you can put it,

(37:50):
you know, in your email signature block. And I saw
these young ammen, you know, putting heed him and all
this nonsense next to it, and I'm like a sing me.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
If you had a pronoun and your LinkedIn, we were
not friends, because screw your pronoun. If that's the thing
they've allowed. The left went so insane that that's why
the last Trump's only been in ten days or eleven days.
It has been glorious to go the opposite, like normal
common sense.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Veronica. Always they always push it too far, They always
go too far. And you know, he's we you know,
talk about not reading the room, you know what I
mean when they're pushing this kind of stuff. And like
I told the folks on Fox, was just like you know,
I was a recruiter. You know, I wasn't always commissioned.

(38:39):
I was an illicited guy for a long time before
I got commissioned in nineteen ninety one. And for five
of those years I was an Air Force and Air
National Guard recruiter. And people don't join the military to
learn pronouns and be sensitive. And all that time, they
joined to improve themselves. They joined to challenge themselves, and
they joined to be a little badass too, you know.

(39:00):
And that's what people joined the military. We want to
do something.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
When they pushed the White House, it was the Transgender
Day on Easter, and then another one was Kareem Jean Pierre.
I call it Raggedy Ann. When Raggedy Ann was like, well,
I'm like the first lesbian black woman ever to be here.
Why do I care? Why do you have to tell
me lesbian?

Speaker 2 (39:24):
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Well, yeah, does that make you any smarter or or believable?

Speaker 2 (39:30):
You know, it's like but you know, back to my
original point, though, these these uh, these type of policies
have an effect on people, on real people's lives. They've
alienated these these these low to middle class white kids
who typically make up the bulk of our military recruitment. Uh,
they've turned people's lives upside down. Military careers often run

(39:53):
in families, as you know, and sons and daughters.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
That was a bad thing to the left. There was
a congressman or Center that came out and said, oh,
we have to stop this. So so yeah, it was
just it went too far. It was out of control.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Under Austin's leadership, you saw military members advise their kids.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Not so many people told me, I don't want my
child in military.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Nope, nope, it's just sucks down when you got we
got Millie in front of Congress saying, like, I want
to understand white rage. What an idiotic thing to say.
I mean, really white fat.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
He was a fat sow in a uniform. There's no
way that man could run the army two mile or
I'm sorry. So I do have a question for both
of you. I mean, what are your thoughts about Trump
allowing all of these eight thousand that didn't take the
COVID vacs in. I mean, I was, you know, because
we all took all the jabs back in our day

(40:54):
and they're going to get back pay. I know Congressman
Gates was fighting that for them to be able to
come back. I mean, I do think I've met some
of them. There are studs. They were worried about their health,
which you know, they're still pushing COVID shots out there
and they are dangerous. But what are your thoughts about this, gentlemen?

Speaker 2 (41:13):
You know, I think that barely scratches the surface. I heard.
I think that with his precise numbers were But they
offered a couple hundred sailors to come back, and only
like a handful accepted. They were like, no, screw you,
We're done right, We're done with you. So they're not
coming back. And then also that doesn't eat those are
people who are kicked out. What about the people? And

(41:33):
I know, I personally know when a young marine who
went through this, who didn't take the poke and they
never got promoted. They wouldn't they refused to promote it right,
So they didn't kick him out. They didn't kick him out,
but they made him. They made him pay the price
with slow career progression. And you think he's going to

(41:55):
make it a career, he's getting out. The guy can't
get past like E three now. And he's a good marine,
he's a solo marine. But because he didn't take the jab.
They slowed role, so.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Maybe they'll change that and then.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Don John, You're onto something there.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
I think that the ones that come back, if they
if they do come back, that they're going to see
you know, that that marks on their record. Okay, And
when it comes to from and anything else, I think
I think the institutional built in. See, the problem is
they've institutionalized this stuff, and you've got a lot of
people in the middle that make these decisions for promotions

(42:31):
and everything else. They they need to be purged because
that is going to be a factor when they look.
They're gonna say, hey, this person you know wouldn't take
the jab, so they're not really with the program, so
let's slow roll them.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
They refused a lawful order to uh to get a
get a shot, you know, and Vernick, you you and
Malcolm they remember the answers factor.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
I remember my husband got five of them and I
was pregnant, so I missed it. And thank god my
child did not come out with three heads because I
was expecting that, you know. And then anyone that got
the anthrax shot said it felt like their arm had
been hit with a baseball bat, that it was so painful.
But I know anthrax. You know, my friend's a vet.

(43:16):
He said, vets get it in veterinary school for years.
It had been around for years. But yeah, it was
a big deal back then.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Luckily I was had a baby in my belly, so
I missed the fun.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
But people were losing their careers over the anthrax shots
because people were, particularly the pilots, were having vertigo and
dizziness and all these side effects which a pilot just
can't have. So other pilots, it's particularly in the reserve.
They may have an airline job, it's a full time job,
and they fly a fighter in the reserve were like, hey, man,

(43:52):
I can't give up my full time job if I
get sick from this thing. And they force it, and
people lost their careers over it, over the anthraxs Now,
whether it's say or not, we don't know, but this
is the I don't think the government did a really
good job of explaining the risks to people and then
mandating it was was I think the wrong movie.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Well, and we still have it out there. That's why
I'm desperate to get RFK Junior in there, because they're
pushing it on babies that are six months old, and
we do not need babies who don't get COVID getting
these damn shots. But they're still out there and are
gonna think it's okay.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
But you have to change the whole mentality on shots.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
I mean, you know, my dad was in the army,
so I grew up in the army. You know, we
went to Germany and all that stuff. You know, I
had shot records. You know, you had to get the
polio vaccine, you had to get this vaccine, you had
to get that vaccine, you know. I mean every time
you turned around, you're wanting to give you another damn vaccine.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
You know, growing up and that was.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Just like, hey, you do it. You know, that's what
you're told to do. So everybody did it. And now
you know, it's like I just I questioned all of
this stuff.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
You know, whether we really.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Particularly with the COVID vaccine, when young healthy men are
dropping dead from heart attacks, right when athletes are having
heart attacks and the manufacturer.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Hidden that from all of us. Well, what I wanted
to I want to switch topics back to pardons, because
you know, the the Biden crime family, everybody got pardoned,
you know, and and then he left a few people off.
Jack Smith, the lawyer that went after Trump, Mayorcis, there
was a few people that but I was disgusted Fauci,

(45:30):
who I think belongs in jail. I think Millie didn't
deserve a pardon. So so I wanted to hear what
you all think about the pardons.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Well, if anybody needed a pardon, it was certainly Fauci,
and they needed pardons. Yeah, they needed them, you know.
And uh and the Biden crime family they needed pardons
because oh, yeah, it was.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Do you think it's a collection adult?

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Do you think it's a coincidence that CIA has finally
come out and released their low probability estimate that it
was indeed a virus that came out of a lab.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
And they knew this, you know, they knew this for
a long time. The Biden administration knew this. The CIA
had that report during the Biden administration, and they just
released it now. So why were they keeping in a
secret from us? Why wouldn't they be more forthcoming and
more truthful earlier on? It was to their benefit to
keep this dam thing a secret, because that's that's kind

(46:35):
of the smoking gun study right there. They knew it.
And now we know that they knew it. It and
Falci's in the middle of it, and they wanted to
keep it a secret because they knew what they were
doing was wrong.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
And why do you think he gave Milly the pardon?
The whole China, you know, telling China, I'll let you
know what Trump's doing.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Oh yeah, Milly was not a good actor in this thing.
And I put him in the same category. Is Lloyd
Austin another politician pretending to be a military man. You
want to be a politician, get rid of the uniform
and run for something and then someone can vote for you.
Other than that, get out of the way. So no,
I he needed a he needed a pardon. He stood

(47:18):
by this whole Afghanistan thing as well. And to this date,
no one has been punished, no one's been censured about Afghanistan.
It hasn't even gone on to anybody's permanent record. You know,
it was just ooh so well, shit happens. Thirteen guys
died and hundreds, maybe thousands of Asghans were hunted down
and killed in their homes by the Palapan because they

(47:40):
were friends in the US. And what is what does Biden.
Do he drones a relief worker and a bunch of kids,
you know, And that's how incompetent these people were.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Right, And what was comment on that it's a righteous kill?
That was exactly what he said.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
I was shocked. I was done.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
He says, how prevalent do you think Billy's comment was
that he took an oath to the constitution, not a man.
How prevalent do you think that is in the military.
It's a very dangerous attitude from what I can see,
because the Constitution does not give orders. Okay, I'm not

(48:21):
a psychologist, but I think people will.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Tell you that group thinks a real thing. And when
you're in an organization where everybody thinks the same way,
you kind of got to get along to get along.
So whether or not it's constitutions, I mean, I mean,
they've done studies about Nazi Germany ad nauseum and why
would people follow orders that they normally would think were

(48:45):
immoral or wrong, right? But they did him anyway. I
think that's a thing that we really This is why
we have to be so careful in selecting our leadership.
I mean, when you have a leader that demands loyalty,
above feel tea to the constitution. You're on shaky ground.
And yeah, I I'm not a fan of Millie and

(49:10):
or Austin or any of these guys that were in position.
Anybody who could have stopped the Holocaust should have stopped
it when they could. And there were some people who resisted.
Anybody who could have stopped the Afghanistan withdrawal and didn't
or in that same category as far as I'm concerned.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
So how many general officers resigned over any of that,
I've never heard of one.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
To me, I don't know one. I don't know one.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Where's the integrity in the office?

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Well, my favorite thing Trump did was to pull the
fifty one clearances from the fifty one bastards that lied
about the leftop because now they can't have their little
fancy jobs. So oh oh my. And then the other
thing I wanted to ask you too about was security
details got pulled from Fauci, from Pompeo, from I'm trying

(50:00):
to think who else, a bunch of people. Oh, Bolton
was the other one. And Trump wasked about it, and
he said, I think you know, when you work for
a government, at some point, your security detail comes off
and you know, you can't have them forever.

Speaker 7 (50:15):
We took some off of people too, but you can't
have a security detail for the rest of the life
of your life because you work for a government. And
then he said no because he was asked about their
security details.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
But he said that they they've all made a lot
of money and they can hire their own security. And
I think he even said he could, like you know,
tell him who to call. So the left is in
like uproar. You know, if Fauci was such an innocent man,
which oh, by the way, his bank account is humongous
because of COVID, humongous, and he was like the highest

(50:49):
paid GS person forever.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Was probably he was probably senior executive service, no doubt,
but he was. He made more than the president up
with a four hundred k a year, you know, as
a glorified clerk up there. I think revoking these security
clearance this is the right thing to do. I mean,
these guys are still privy to classified information after their

(51:15):
career is long gone and over, and they're using it
to monetize their careers as consultants on CNN and other
left wing thing. I mean, particularly this John Brennan, I
mean John Brennan, believe it or not, was a communist sympathizer.
He voted for a communist you know, I think it
was Gus Hall and Angela Davis, So he was not

(51:37):
you know how he got to be the head of
the CIA, I'll never know.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Well, they should be like sliding into home base this
week with their nomination.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Well that's a difference between Democrats and Republicans, you know.
I mean the Republicans helped Obama get his people into places.
They said, hell, well he deserves to have the cabinet,
and they went along with that and they got the
him staffed up in record time. But then if you
look at the Trump's first administration, they dragged that out

(52:09):
for as long as they possibly could, for months. So
they're just going to obfuscate, They're going to delay, and
they're just going to put up roadblocks everywhere they can.
So you know, I think recess appointments would certainly be
in order because they're just obstructionists at this point.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Okay, final question for both of you all, because here
in Freedom, Florida, the primary for Congressman Gates seat is
tonight and CFO Jimmy patronis from Florida has the Trump nomination.
But I am not kidding. There are nine total names
on the ballot because all these all these millionaires wrote
the ten k check to be on the ballot. So

(52:49):
do you think he's going to be able to pull
it off? As Trump endorsed tonight.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
I don't know who else is possibly running. I know
that a fella out there who who's who's run multiple
times and hasn't gotten any traction. His name totally escapes me.
But Jimmy is a good man. I know Jimmy Patrona's personally.
I've known him for many years. He is a real
He's real. He's a real human being. I mean, he's

(53:18):
not one of these movers and shakers and backslappers, although
he probably does a fair degree of that. I mean,
he is a he's an honest broker, and uh, he's
an emotional guy. I don't know, if you have seen
him in the press, Oh my.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Gosh, you can make you cry. Yeah he does.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
But you know what, that's that comes out of a
place of love and caring. As far as I'm concerned,
And if we had more people like that in Washington,
you know, it would probably be a much better place.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
John, what are your thoughts? Is he going to pull
it out tonight?

Speaker 3 (53:51):
I don't know, you know, Joel, Joel Rudman is popular, Okay,
the election there, you know, that's a big chunk of
his district, so so I don't.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Know how well he'll do it.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
You know.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
Further to the east and looking at the numbers, you know,
there's I can't remember the other there's a third Republican,
but they're all in the in the six digit numbers
for fundraising and expenditures, so so there's some serious money
being plowed into that. I think the Democrats are trying
to do something there too, But I think the Democrats

(54:26):
are really focusing there.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
They're going to be nothing, though, do you think that?

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Well, I think they're trying to flip district Sick, which
is you know, which is Mike Walter's seat, and Randy
Fine is in the lead for that on the Republican side.
But I think the Democrats are going to target that
seat to try and flip it. So I think that's
where the Democrat money's going.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
CFO. I looked yesterday, it doesn't look like he's resigned.
So if he doesn't win tonight, do you think he'll
stay as CFO is my question because I thought when
we talked about this in December, he had to resign.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
That's what I thought it was to run in Florida.
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Maybe if you're a cabinet position, you don't have to
because the stantists didn't want to resign.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
No, the laws were all were always resigned to run,
and they made one exception, and that was for Charlie
crist to run for vice president or president and that
was done years ago. The Republican Legislature Act made that
change to allow the governor to to not have to
resign to run for federal office.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
So John, can you just take a leave of that?
Can you just take a leave of absence to run
or do you have to resign?

Speaker 4 (55:34):
You have to resign. Joel Rudman is resigned.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
He resigned. He's been on our show multiple times. But
yesterday when I looked there was there was press releases
sent out by CFLs. I'm confused.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Well, I thought, when you when, maybe it's the date
of the primary or whatever if you win the primary,
but the resigned to run was irrelevant to if you
want or loss the primary.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
The thing of the thing about.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
Out about resigning to run is the governor hasn't appoints
that somebody replaced Jimmy. Okay, the governor appoints him. So
if Jimmy resigns and loses, the governor can still point
him back to the CFO.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
You know, does that matter.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
It doesn't make a whole lot of difference in that regard,
you know. And then the same thing for Randy Fine.
They have not They've are not randified Joe Rudmon. They
have not scheduled the election for his seat yet, so
if he loses, he could easily run again in the
new there's going to be another election for his seat
because he's already resigned, but there's nothing to stop him
from running again because qualification in the primary hasn't happened

(56:41):
yet in that race.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
So it's kind of one of the fuzzy things, you know.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
You know, John, I think a big discriminator in this
may be not not just because I like Jimmy so much,
is that the Trump endorsement. As far as I know,
he's the only guy like Scott Trump's endorsement.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
And that is true, And that happened with Congressman Done
and the last week they put up a little Done
endorsed by Trump signs and where's done been since? He
where he's since? He's won? Nowhere?

Speaker 4 (57:09):
Nowhere.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
But I do like Joel Rudman. He's been on my
show literally multiple times. I saw him in action in
Tallahassee and the legislature, and he originally ran doctor Rudman
because of the COVID crap to clean it up, and
he's not beholden to anyone.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
So and he throws a hell of a party for
a post with no alcohol.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Because I went to his party and I and he's Catholic,
I'm like, where the hell's the alcohol? I literally, I've
done twelve years of political parties and there was no
alcohol there, So I didn't know it was b yo
b or I would have brought my b my, my
college girl drinks that I like. So uh well, anyways,
well know tonight, who wins and whoever wins should should

(57:51):
take the seat, no problem, but it's definitely big shoes
to fill with, you know, Gates having left them, which yeah,
I've missed having him in Congress, with all of these
nomination hearings that the Dems have been such crapheads. You know.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
Yeah, I think if it comes down to it, Ron
I think I think Rudman. If the turnout is Matt
Gates base, Okay, it's gonna be a low turnout election. Okay,
it's off off cycle. Low turnout is what that means.
If it's the Gates base, it comes out that wants
watch the fire breather. I think you're gonna get Joel Rudman.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
I'll be honest with.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
You, and I love him, and I'm actually texting him
now because I'm scheduled to do Patriot TV on Thursday.
I'd already messaged him saying, hey, I want you on,
So I'm I'm sending him a message saying good luck,
you know. And and really, he did win no issues
the second time as a representative, and if the voters
are fresh, they're going to remember that. And when you

(58:49):
actually look at his ex he does hashtag I live
here because I know Patrona's I think rented a place
over there because I this is the first time I
learned on you don't have to live in district. I
was shocked because I think living in the district to
represent me. I don't want somebody from being a carpetbagger
from Miami. The Panhandle is totally different. I love Jimmy

(59:16):
and he's been a.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Yes went from a Cubs fan to a Yankees fan overnight.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
It was crazy exactly.

Speaker 7 (59:26):
Which.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Oh, by the way, she was so skinny at the
inauguration she had missed ozempic. Now she was like the
commercial for ozempic in her little her Mau mau little
pants suits that she wore. But she was quite she
was so slim down.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
You know that.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
I think some of them are taking that to the extreme.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Ronic I saw, oh it is I just read.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Yesterday.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
Yeah. Yeah, he looked like al sharp I mean, which
she was looked abasicated almost.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
I mean it was incredible.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
There was a actually ill that came out this week. Yeah,
I know he's so gross. He's because he looks like
a bobblehead like but I think his I think he
had his stomach stapled because this is before a zempic.
But an article just came out this week all.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
The whole he looks like a deflated inner tube is
what you look like me? But that's just me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
No, ahead, well, an article came out this week because
I ended up watching I got sucked into the Globe
Golden Globe, which, oh, by the way, the tranny one
the male that's a woman, and he's now on the
Oscar list for the women's Oscar, which, just to go
back to that offense. I love Caitlyn Jenner. I love

(01:00:44):
Caitlyn Jenner, but I'm sorry Kaitlyn Jenner doesn't want my
female trophy that I've worked so hard. But all of
the actresses that were size two's are now negative size
tens because they've all gone extreme, and that was what
the article was out. They all look horrific. Now they
all look literally like death walking. They're all inorexic. So

(01:01:07):
so anyways, oh my gosh. So yeah, So I just
texted doctor Redmond and I said, if you win. Oh,
he's texting me back. He's like, go on social media.
Veronic can't say that. My god, I'm just trying to
I love I love them both. That's the problem. I
love them both. Oh my gosh. So now you're gonna.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Do or it does not lose in the case. You know,
we've got such a bunch of people. It's amazing, it
really is.
