Speaker 2: 0:25

Hey, back after a week off. You're back from Mexico. I am back from Las Vegas after being surrounded by 50,000 patriots for a whole week, so you good Trip was good.

Speaker 2: 0:43

Well, you know it was a trip, clay. It was a trip. I can't laugh, I said before I'm going to try really hard not to laugh because I start coughing, which tells you that I was sick for vacation. We were both sick for the entire time. It was a very. It was a rough experience and par for the course for my Mexico experiences, for my Mexico experiences. So I think Mexico and I have broken up officially for good, which I don't think they're going to miss me, but that's okay. Yeah, yeah, no. It was pretty much a disaster for us, so I hope yours was much better.

Speaker 3: 1:17

Speaker 3: 2:17

It's not just Mexico. They just have to be facilitating it, because everything traffics through them.

Speaker 2: 2:23

Yes, yes, exactly, and oh my goodness. So, my whole thing aside, everybody's up in arms, at least on the left, I mean over on the right. We're feeling pretty good, we're pretty chill about this whole experience. And let me just give in case you missed it. You know, here is probably like the, the encapsulation of the leftist meltdown about these deportations. Here you go. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3: 2:56

All my people are getting attacked the children. I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't. I don't know what to do. I'll try everything, I promise.

Speaker 2: 3:20

I don't. You know that's Selena Gomez. She's an actress, singer. I don't know what else does I know those are the two things that she does. I like her as an actress. I watch the show she's on. She's on Only Murders in the Building with the two older guys, martin Short and Steve Martin.

Speaker 2: 3:42

Yeah, yes, she seems like a very sweet girl. This was so unhinged she took this down almost immediately. There was the backlash on. This was huge and correct. Like to be having this kind of meltdown over the people who are being deported which is, by the way, criminals, straight up criminals, yep. And you know. And, of course, the responses were did you, did you cry for Lake and Riley? Did you cry for, you know, all of these people who have been victimized by these illegal aliens? The answer, of course, is no, you did not. So take this down. You're being a fool right now, and you know, and this is pretty um emblematic of of the left right, now.

Speaker 3: 4:33

Yeah, this is I mean. So for for all of you out there, it is Wednesday. It is 4 PM, a little after 4 PM on Wednesday, easternnesday, eastern standard time. Um, so, appropriately enough, the lake and riley bill was signed by president trump today, today, yes. So you know selena gomez and her reaction. You could ask all the right questions did she, did she cry? Was she crying for lake and riley? And and you know the victims like her, you know, did she did she? Did she feel bad, like there's?

Speaker 3: 5:06

there's so many things you could ask about this Right, but the reality is is that there has yet to be that I know of a raid on a school which people are up in arms about. There was a reported one in the city of Chicago that turned out to be a bad reporting. It was not a, it was not a school raid, it wasn't had nothing to do with immigration, it had to do with criminality. But that's who you said it before. That's who ICE is going after For this entire first wave. It is the high-end, violent, probably, or often gang-related criminals who have been participating in human trafficking, drug trafficking, child trafficking, you know, violent crime that they have either been arrested and released or convicted of. And so ICE is going around with Kristi Noem in body armor running around with him.

Speaker 1: 5:57

I love that, I love it.

Speaker 3: 5:59

You know, picking up the known offenders, yeah, consolidating them, putting them on planes by country and sending their ass back home yep, yep, columbia, thought they were going to say no, thank you yeah, columbia was wrong.

Speaker 2: 6:13

Yeah, yes, that was what was. What was that? That was uh all done and executed, uh, executed between, like, the fourth and eighth hole.

Speaker 3: 6:22

I think that, yes, that was the best story was that Columbia refused. You know, I think President Trump was on the fourth hole on Sunday. Yes, columbia refused. He responded with you know, that's fine, that's fine, you can refuse him, we're just going to tear the crap out of you, we're going to pull your imports, we're not going to, you know. And he put a whole bunch of financial, you know constraints on the nation of Columbia. And then, immediately, the president, by the eighth hole, you know, the president of Columbia turned around and said not only will we take them, but we will refuel your planes when they land. And so you know the purse, you know it matters, it matters. You know the purse strings matter, the finance and money matters. And and president trump, as the businessman that he is, is using, you know, financial restrictions, tariffs and other things, right, no financial means to make this happen, right which they insisted.

Speaker 2: 7:16

They, being those on the left, insisted. That's going to backfire there. It's going to blow up in your face. It's going to ruin everything for us. You're going to destroy everything. No, no, money talks. Money always talks. It's that simple. And why? Nobody is getting that and I don't really believe that they're not getting that. They're just riling people up. They're riling the you know the easily deceived that the gullible um minions of the left they're. They're riling them up. They're getting them, which is what they've always done. This is the MO that has been going on since time began that the elites wind up the minions because they don't know any better and they're so trusting and they believe everything that they're told and instead of just saying, hang on a second, let me just see how this plays out first, they're like my God, this guy is falling. Not for us, maybe for them, but not for us.

Speaker 3: 8:09

So yeah, so, you know, the president of Columbia was doing a little bit of saber rattling, he was doing a little bit of, you know, trying to show strength in front of his own nation, his own supporters, and, you know, and ended up looking a fool, right, you know, and and ended up looking a fool, right. So you know, pardon me that you know that's a lesson that the entire world took note of, like everybody in the Southern hemisphere watch that. Everybody South of you know the Rio Grande river, watch that and said, okay, well, this, that's not going to work. So, you, you know, and it's going to continue to move.

Speaker 3: 8:45

I think there was more flights, uh, today, venezuela, and I think, um, somewhere else, guatemala, I think. So, as soon as they're packing them up, as soon as they've got a flight full, and it's it's the air force that's flying them, um, I can promise you they've got security on those aircraft. Uh, for those, I, you know, I thought the the same thing. I'm like man, I would not want to be the air crew loadmaster on that C-17 flying wherever, but they do have security on board.

Speaker 2: 9:13

And there were threats from you know were they credible threats? I don't actually know, but there were threats that Mexican cartels were threatening to shoot down any planes that you know Kimber was like really, really, yeah.

Speaker 3: 9:24

So you know that, and part of this is that president Trump has declared, you know, ms-13, trend Agua, you know these, these cartels, sinaloa cartel. He's declared the gang, the drug gangs, the international gangs and the cartels as international terrorist organizations, which allows our military to act Right. So you know, the first time that pick your cartel out of Mexico, decides to even play around and take ground, fire, you know, at a passing military aircraft, the response is going to be significant.

Speaker 2: 10:00

Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 3: 10:01

And it's going to be brutal.

Speaker 2: 10:03

That is the poster, the neon sign of FAFO. Yeah, absolutely, and it's going to be brutal that that is the the poster, the neon sign of FAFO. Yeah, Right, I mean that is neon letters, bold as can be and, um, you know, it's certainly one of those moments that everybody's sitting around goes. Before Trump did this, before it it started, you know, everyone was saying and probably even people on the right like how is he going to? Can't do this that fast. There's so much red tape, there's so much paperwork.

Speaker 3: 10:28

He's like it's done, it's done so I mean it tells you, as they round up literally thousands of these people, that the department of justice knew where they were the whole time, the whole time, the whole time. Yes, exactly where they were, because all they did was they pulled up their address list and they started running raids, and that's what they've been doing.

Speaker 2: 10:47

And they've recovered a very significant number of missing children too, correct yeah?

Speaker 3: 10:54

So, out of the 300,000 estimated, I think the last number I saw was they have recovered somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 plus of these children that have been missing. You know, as part of this. So good is coming out of this as well, so much good.

Speaker 3: 11:12

But you know I wrote a blog about this today. I know you reposted on Facebook and I appreciate it, but there's been, along with what you were talking about, with the left, the crying. You know all the you know Selena Gomez's of the world, who you know. This is horrible, this is this, this is that one. I wrote a blog today and the one that irritates me the most is that people are comparing this, the deportation process, to the Holocaust, which is yeah.

Speaker 2: 11:34

I'm so glad you wrote that, that post, guys, if you, if you haven't yet, go check it out on Clay's site or on my page as well. It's, it's up and it's a short read and so worth the read. Because what you talked about really we're all sick of it. We're all sick and tired of these baseless parallels and comparisons that the left makes. You know, if you do this or don't do that, or you say this or you don't say that, you're you know all of the things you're a racist, you're a bigot, you're this, you're that. And that one in particular is probably one of the most disgusting and offensive things that you could possibly make a comparison to you know yeah, I mean, these are.

Speaker 3: 12:14

These are not the innocent Jews living in Germany and Austria, you know, and Eastern Europe all over. You know, in the 40s, during World War Two, that were rounded up Eastern Europe all over. You know, in the forties, during World War II, that were rounded up, taking a concentration in work camps, that were tattooed, that were tortured, that were experimented on and then eventually murdered, you know, in ovens and gas chambers and all those horrific things that happened. That's not what this is. This is not innocent people. Again, we've been talking about this. They're violent criminals. They are drug traffickers or human traffickers. They're child traffickers, they're rapists, they are murderers. They have been at least arrested for, if not convicted of, violent crimes against either American citizens or other immigrants, and they're being sent back to their nation of origin.

Speaker 3: 12:59

This is not the Holocaust. I can't say that loud enough. And if you, those of you that are making that comparison, or if you know people are making that comparison, that is the most. You said it it's disgraceful, it's offensive, it's bordering on anti-Semitic, because you are, you are, you know, making what happened to the entire Jewish population of Germany and Eastern Europe in the forties. You are delegitimizing the Holocaust by making such a low level comparison. It's disgusting.

Speaker 3: 13:30

The only and I said this in the blog the only two things that are similar is one some families have the potential to be getting broken apart. I understand that, but you know what? When you go to jail as a criminal, your family gets broken apart too. So if you're a criminal, whether you get deported or sent to jail, you're still separated from your family.

Speaker 2: 13:47

So that's a null and void, and that's why, because of your own actions, your own choices in life, not anything is being done to you. You did this.

Speaker 5: 13:58

So you know, I'm sad for children.

Speaker 2: 14:00

I'm sad for families.

Speaker 2: 14:02

Of course it is heartbreaking to see a legitimate family going through legitimate strife and upheaval, all of those things that would tug at any human's heartstrings.

Speaker 2: 14:12

But you know there is a point where you draw that line and you know and if you are someone like me, which I represent millions of people across this country who are the children and grandchildren of legal immigrants, and there is I'm sorry and I'm sure somebody will disagree with me, but there is nothing more offensive. I would think to a legal immigrant who did it the hard way, who went through the proper channels and the steps that you have to do to become citizens of this country that they came to because they love this country and want a better life, unlike these criminals and degenerates and scumbags. You know, to tell them well, sucks to be you. These guys cut the line and we don't know anything about them. They're not vetted, you know, but we're going to give them all of the things that you worked your ass off for to be a part of this country and to be a contributing member of this country. So you know it makes my blood boil.

Speaker 3: 15:07

And what people are getting hung up on is is the act of a government agency rounding these people up for deportation, right? So what they're saying is our department of justice, the, you know, the BPS ice, these people that are doing this FBI, whoever's participating, are the new equivalent to the SS Right. That's what they're saying.

Speaker 2: 15:29

Yes, of course that's what they're saying. They disregard, they've conveniently forgotten Obama. I got the tape. I'll pull them all up. I'll throw them all up on here. Obama, kamala and who am I? Hillary, all three. I mean just right off the top. I've got three for you, right off the top, where they talked about getting them out of here. If you've broken the law, if you're here illegally, get out.

Speaker 3: 15:53

You're going, you can go back and you, as a, you know, second generation daughter of Cuba, right, ileane Gonzalez for those that are old enough to remember right, there's that iconic photo of FBI I don't know, but he did an attack here reaching out right, submachine gun in hand and grabbing a seven-year-old boy. So, you know, the same people that are, you know, crying about this, supported it under different administrations and it's just absurd.

Speaker 2: 16:25

It is and that's it in a nutshell, Clay, it's not what's being done, it's who's doing it right. Because if this was Biden done, it's who's doing it Right. Because if this was Biden, if this was Clinton, if this was.

Speaker 2: 16:36

Kamala if this was Obama, they'd be all for it, they'd be applauding. So you know, don't get it twisted, folks. We all know what it's all about and the difference now and before is that none of us are taking it anymore. We're not sitting quietly, we're not getting gas lit, and I think that's the biggest thing right now, that the gaslighting days are done and we are going to throw it right back in your face 10 times harder.

Speaker 2: 17:00

You have one thing and, as you know, my favorite, one of my favorite clay quotes is the internet is forever right. You can pull it all up in two seconds and it's on them. You know, if you don't want to see it, if you don't want to believe what you're seeing, that's an on you. I'm not going to be my problem, but I've got it for you. Here it is. You don't like it? Too damn bad, because this is where we're at now. And, by the way, it's pretty much your fault that we got here because you didn't do what you're supposed to do. You went way too far over and now we're course correcting. So suck it up, because you got this four years at least.

Speaker 3: 17:35

And it's, and it's interesting because you're seeing two citizens and even the media in some, some cases, you know, going head to head with the Gavin Newsoms and the JB Pritzkers, and and and folks. There was that press conference with governor Pritzker, illinois, saying you know, we're going to do it, we're not going to, we're going to fight against Trump or this or that. Oh, by the way, we're OK with criminals being deported, but everybody else, we're going to protect them. Yeah, you know, and he keeps referring to, we protect the residents of the state of Illinois, not the citizens of the United States, right, so?

Speaker 3: 18:08

But you've got people, you know, striking back at him and asking that exact question Well, who's paying for this and why are the citizens footing the bill? And so, you're right, people are tired of it, they're not going to take it anymore, they're not going to be guilted into being OK with it or, more importantly, being silent. So I think you're going to see backlash, especially next voting cycle, for those that don't cooperate, and it's going to last a while. These raids are not going to stop. You know, tom Homan, god love him. Yeah, he's been on top of this and he said it himself. He's like look, we're going to work our way down the list.

Speaker 2: 18:46

Yeah, and I love his responses to you. Know everyone, I think it was Katie Hobbs. Yeah, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Responses to you. Know everyone that I think it was Katie Hobbs? Yeah, Arizona governor Katie Hobbs. So she's not going to allow Tom Holman to conduct mass deportations in Arizona. She's not going to allow him to do it. Good luck, honey, Good luck.

Speaker 3: 19:01

Yeah, that's not how it works. Yeah, pritzker said the same thing. Yeah, and somebody asked him flat out if he was prepared to go to jail. You know, in defense of that, which he didn't answer that question, surprise surprise yeah.

Speaker 3: 19:12

So we'll see how it plays out. There's a lot of people talking tough right now. You know, again President Trump, even against the states, or really against the governors of states and cities, mayors of cities, will use the purse to punish. He will Fine Governor, you don't? You know you don't want to cooperate. Maintain your own roads. I guess you don't. You know you don't want to cooperate. Maintain your own roads, like you're not going to get federal.

Speaker 2: 19:33

I guess you don't need that federal funding, right? You don't want it that bad. I guess that's fine. You don't want to play by the rules? Don't go for it. Do what you got to do, but you know they'll get out of office.

Speaker 2: 19:47

Yeah, exactly, be ready for the consequence of your own constituents telling you you got to go. You're not speaking for us and, by the way, that's your freaking job. Your job is to do what we want you to do, not what you want to do. So, yeah, what was the other? There was another one. I don't know if that was just today or if that even happened yet. So Trump says to sign executive order to deport anti-Semitic foreign students and protesters. That's long overdue. Get them the hell out of there. Bye, you're not here on anybody's dime.

Speaker 3: 20:12

Yeah, I mean we're. You know we're focusing mostly because that's what's been reported and that's what OJ has been doing on, you know, the violent offenders from Central and South America, you know from Mexico and et cetera. But there's, you know, I read a story today that there are massive boats full of Chinese hitting the shores of Florida. You know that are that are a problem. We've got students on student visas being very, you know, truthfully, saying a lot of very dangerous things on American soil. Get them out of here. It's the same thing, like your freedom of speech. You're not a U S citizen, so you're not protected by our constitution as much as people would like you to be. You're not. So when you step out of line, the recourse is pull the visa, go home, and that's it and that's why nobody's forcing you to be here.

Speaker 2: 20:59

Go. You hate it here. You hate what we represent. You know and that's and I just saw something yesterday, it was, um, I was probably on X, and it's you know all these countries, and in every single one of these countries they're having, of course, their rallies and their marches and all of these things, and for each country they're saying the same thing, whether, if it's Australia, it's death to Australia. If it's America, death to America. If it's Europe, death to Europe. This is the pattern. They want destruction. They want absolute chaos and destruction of wherever they're at. And there is only one answer to it, which is get out, go back to where you came from, no questions asked. We're not. We don't have to have a conversation about it. You're just gone. You're not from here. Go.

Speaker 5: 21:44

Yep, yeah.

Speaker 2: 21:45

No, I have, I have. No, I have zero sympathy, anything, I don't have an ounce of it.

Speaker 3: 21:52

Yeah, you're a guest. Sympathy, anything I I don't have an ounce of it.

Speaker 2: 21:56

Yeah, you're a guest, act like a guest. Yep, yep, that's right.

Speaker 3: 21:57

Use your manners, say please and thank you, but we talked about christy noem right running around in body armor and a baseball hat and going on ice raid. So she's one of the the early confirmed yes, yes, we've got some great confirmations In fact, we just had one as we were talking. Lee Zeldin just got confirmed for EPA. That's awesome, so we can add him to the list. Nice, so who are you tracking? Yep, so okay.

Speaker 2: 22:24

So so far we have Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, If anybody is inclined to care. It was 77 yes 22 no. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant 68 yes, 29 no. Homeland Security, of course, as you said, Kristi Noem 59 yes, 34 no for her, yes, Fifty no. The tiebreaker done by our guy JD, that was pretty awesome. Way too close for comfort, though. Cia Director John Ratcliffe Seventy four yes, Twenty five no. Secretary of State Marco Rubio Ninety nine yes, Zero no. And then who did you say Lee?

Speaker 3: 23:07

Lee Zeldin.

Speaker 2: 23:08

Oh, there he is, ok yeah.

Speaker 3: 23:10

Just got confirmed while we were, while we were on. Um, you know um, well, we can save uh, cause I know what we're going to talk about later. But uh, you know, Rubio is a surprise. Not that he got confirmed, but he got confirmed so easily. Yes, um, you know, we'll. We'll say the CIA for last, though, um, but uh, um, you know um, christine Noemem's been. She's been working like she hasn't stepped foot in South Dakota since she got confirmed. I guarantee that she probably have time to pack her clothes.

Speaker 2: 23:41

I'm sure, I'm sure she she's been boots on the ground immediately. I think she's been working.

Speaker 3: 23:45

Yeah, and for those of you that don't know, duffy, the transportation secretary who took over for old Pistol Pete Buttigieg, sean Duffy, do you know where he came from? Do you know where he started? No, so back in the old days of reality TV, when reality TV was the real world, yeah, oh my gosh. So he was married to Rachel Campos Duffy from Fox News. Oh, I did not know that they both they met on the real world on MTV years and years ago.

Speaker 2: 24:13

I actually remember this, now that you're saying it, right.

Speaker 3: 24:15

So they got married. He was a politician from, I think, Minnesota, but he was also like a competitive lumberjack or something like that. Like that was his real world claim to fame thing. But they've been married for years and have a bunch of kids and all that.

Speaker 4: 24:32

It took me way back, yeah, but he's always kind of yeah, he's always stuck in the politics, even after his time.

Speaker 3: 24:36

Again, I think it was Minnesota, but yeah, so he got brought in as the as the secretary of transportation. Listen, anybody would be an upgrade from what we had.

Speaker 2: 24:46

So you are kidding? That's a great one. Yeah, that's awesome. Let's see.

Speaker 1: 24:54

Of course, we know, we have Bobby Kennedy going on right now.

Speaker 2: 24:56

That is highly contentious and you know rough, Pam Bondi. We're waiting on that. Should be by tomorrow, Is that right?

Speaker 3: 25:02

I think. So she's on the block this week. Gabbert is on the block this week. Yes, so that one is interesting in the way that they're talking about voting and I don't understand this. So I I mean I'm going to kind of lay what I understand to be true out and then we'll have to figure out the why. I mean so she's the DNI right, the director of national intelligence, which means that all the intelligence agencies fall under her, including a lot of the military intelligence agencies that exist. They're talking about voting for her confirmation in a, in a in a top secret, in a SCIF, which is a secret compartmentalized information facility, so behind closed doors, in a vault, which makes absolutely no sense. So the vote would be hidden from the United States public and because it happens inside a facility like that, it automatically becomes classified. So it's very weird that that's even being considered. I don't understand it and I'm skeptical of the why, like who proposed it, why it's being done that way? Because nobody else is being done that way.

Speaker 2: 26:05

Right, yeah, I mean, as an American citizen who has a right to know, I feel like that's an automatic hell. No, you're not doing that. So I yeah, I, I have no idea. If anybody has any insights on that, please drop it in the comments, because I'm I am befuddled.

Speaker 3: 26:21

Yeah, I don't get that one at all and I've spent some time in some skiffs and done some classified stuff, but that just the vote for her to be confirmed makes no sense whatsoever. No, absolutely none, no. Now, if they were going to interview her and they wanted to speak in terms of classified information specifics of classified information, not in generalities then maybe they would have to move the interview portion right Her testimony to a secret facility, but the voting portion of it should not be classified at all.

Speaker 2: 26:50

Definitely not. No, I want to know exactly who voted Exactly and what they voted, and we have a right to know that and I agree with you. That makes perfect sense. If it was the interview and they were discussing classified information, totally fine with that, no worries whatsoever. But no, I want to know exactly who voted what, and I'll tell you who's all fired up. Nicole. Is that her first name? Shanahan?

Speaker 3: 27:16

uh, bobby kennedy's uh, former running mate there she was threatening all kinds of people today, if he doesn't get confirmed, political warfare and like all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 2: 27:22

Yeah, she's going all worked up yes, she's gone hard and she's got the money to do it. A girl's a billionaire, so she's got the money and she's she's. She said that's not even. This isn't uh uh said I think it's not a promise, it's a threat, like, take it as the threat that it is. I'm coming for your title, I'm coming for your position and you're going to be the hell out and I'm going to make sure it happens. So I hope she wields that kind of power because I really strongly I never would have thought I would be so strongly for Bobby Kennedy on something, but I am so strongly for this man in this position. I'm going to show a little clip and this is just, you know, one very small part of my why. Here it is.

Speaker 5: 28:03

Youth are now on Adderall or some other ADHD medication. Even higher percentages are on SSRIs and benzos. We are not just over-medicating our children, we're over-medicating our entire population. Half the pharmaceutical drugs on earth are now sold here. 70% of the profits from pharmaceutical companies are from the United States, even though we only have 4.2% of the world's population. Not only that, but a recent study by Cochrane Collaboration founder Peter Gososh found that pharmaceutical drugs are the third largest cause of death in our country, after heart attacks and cancers.

Speaker 2: 28:41

Pharmaceutical drugs are the third leading killer of American citizens. And you know, all of these people that are against him, that are fighting tooth and nail against him. Every damn one of them is in big pharma's pocket. Oh yeah, and that is a problem. Yep, and that's why they're fighting him so hard, because their wallets are about to get hit really hard and it's not a, it's not a philosophical difference they have with them.

Speaker 3: 29:13

No, it's, you know. And if it, and if it was, it would be hard for anyone to justify being less healthy in America. Right, you know. So everything that you know. But Robert Kennedy jr Is doing is trying to make America healthy. Right, we've all seen the Maha right, mahagaha, whatever. So I mean, that is his goal and it is about lessening unnecessary medications, lessening unnecessary vaccines. Right, he's not anti-vax, he's not anti-vax.

Speaker 2: 29:44

That is the biggest misconception.

Speaker 3: 29:46

Yep, and they went after him today about it multiple times. Yep.

Speaker 2: 29:50

They keep calling him anti-vaxxer because, you know, of course they got to get their their sound bite out. You know anti-vaxxer and he is not an anti-vaxxer he's. He's for logical, practical things and, and you know, doing things properly Yep, that's simple and and you know cleaning up the additives in our foods.

Speaker 3: 30:07

You know cleaning up, you know dietary recommendations. You know all of those things. It's about leading a healthier lifestyle and, truthfully, taking a lot of the government regulation down. So you know the amount of preservatives that are in foods, the amount of additives that are in foods, and and you know chemicals that are in foods versus natural ingredients. Right, that's always what he's been about and that's why president Trump has nominated him for this very specific role, with very good goalposts on what he is and isn't allowed to get in the middle of.

Speaker 3: 30:38

I thought it was very interesting because one of the people conducting the interview today asked him if he was a conspiracy theorist the son of Bobby Kennedy, the nephew of JFK. They asked if he was a conspiracy theorist and he should have. I wish he would have. He should have lashed back at them with something referencing his father and his uncle and the fact that you know, president Trump just released all of the data from the investigations of their murders. Right and how, how conspiracy has been, you know, generated by the United States government. He didn't because he's classier than I am, but I wish he would have. So that was. You know he's been getting beat up, but I think he's. My guess is he's going to make it through and it may have to be another 51 vote by Vice President Vance, just like he did for Pete Hegseth. And listen, folks, I'm going to say this. I said it before, I'm going to say it again.

Speaker 3: 31:32

I was not in favor of him as a nominee. However, he has now been confirmed as the Secretary of Defense. I am on his team. I want him to be successful. I want Department of Defense to be back on top, where it should be, and our military being the strongest in the world, which currently it is not. And I think that you know the things that they are doing in immediacy removal of the DEI programs and all of those things you know. Secretary Hegseth is on the right path already.

Speaker 3: 32:01

Yeah, I applaud him for what he's doing. I also applaud him. People are going to think that this is minimal, but in his very first day on the job, was he was giving his speech, he referenced Fort Benning and Fort Bragg yes, which are both near and dear to my heart, and by their names before the change documents. So, and he's an infantryman, you know, he got trained in the same place as I did and and so I think you know it wasn't a slip of the tongue, it was very intentional. I have a feeling that those very much like Mount McKinley is going to go back to Mount McKinley. I think those installations are going to be returned to their former naming conventions and it's going to cost a little bit of money and some people argue that it's a waste and you know what, I don't care.

Speaker 2: 32:41

No, don't care, that's okay. They're saving lots of money in other places. Thanks to Doge, they sure are, they are saving so much money.

Speaker 3: 32:48

Yes.

Speaker 2: 32:50

Not all that fat.

Speaker 3: 32:51

But the interesting thing that he did do that we can't walk away from is what got released today, what they're doing with General Milley.

Speaker 2: 32:59

Oh, yes, yeah. What are your thoughts on that? Yeah, so General.

Speaker 3: 33:02

Milley. Within hours of the inauguration, his portrait as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was removed from the hallway in the Pentagon. Yes, Just yesterday his portrait as the Army Chief of Staff was also removed from that hallway. And now his security clearance has been revoked, His security detail, which was put in place after Soleimani and some other military operations, his security detail has been removed and there is a discussion that Secretary Hegseth is going to enact or emplace a board to review General Milley's conduct as the chairman, which has the potential to lead into a review board of sorts. And there is discussion of lowering him to Lieutenant General or three star, uh, which would be the last known rank where he faithfully served.

Speaker 3: 33:57

Now, do I think that that's going to happen? Uh, do I think there's going to be a reduction in rank? No, I don't, Um, why not? Why not? Um? Because it's you know, I got it. It's Bob Woodward. You know. That's what a lot of this is coming from. Is Bob Woodward's book where he said Milley admitted to me that he thought, you know, Trump was a fascist and that he called his Chinese counterpart and blah, blah, blah, blah, Um, I don't.

Speaker 3: 34:23

If they're going to do a review board on him. That is going to go to court, martial, which is essentially what it would take to reduce him to three star. You're talking treason. So there would be a criminal trial. That would have to happen, and I don't think there's enough there for a treason charge. I don't even know if there's enough there for a conduct, unbecoming discussion, et cetera. So I don't think that's going to happen. But what I think is going to happen is that when generals retire, many of them end up on board of directors for, you know, defense corporations of all sorts, and I think in General Milley is that guy that he will be persona non grata and any defense company that has him on the board actually any company that has him on their board of directors will never get a government contract yeah, Never. So he will be as good as done.

Speaker 2: 35:16

No matter what, he's as good as done.

Speaker 3: 35:18

Yeah, He'll be a cancer in the industry. He'll never get on a board. You know they will stay away from him as if he glows in the dark. So, yeah, that's. It's an interesting move by Secretary Hegseth, but it is sending a message. And Terry Hegseth, but it is sending a message. And I, you know, I, I I'm not a, I'm not a general Millie fan I never have been but I think it's interesting to see how that one's going to play out.

Speaker 2: 35:38

Yep, yeah, that's going to be interesting. Who else do we have left? That's big name We've got. Oh, Cash Patel is the another.

Speaker 3: 35:46

He's late. I think he's one of the last ones, but I think he is going to be. What do you think? I think he's going to be a 50 to 50. I think he's going to be a JD Vance break the tie Shouldn't be, but he's going to be, yeah, another one that they're terrified of. Yes, and he's going to break some things. Just like secretary Hegseth, he's going to walk in the door and he's going to break some stuff.

Speaker 2: 36:06

He really is no question about it, which is great, and I think, yeah, a lot of these organizations need it.

Speaker 3: 36:12

They need to be, you know, given a little bit of a refresher from somebody who's on the outside.

Speaker 2: 36:18

What did you think of the kind of segueing slightly the freeze that is now, I guess, postponed?

Speaker 3: 36:26

So it is postponed. I understand why they're doing it. I think that you know they probably could have done it. The analysis could have been done before they walked in the door, unless things were being hidden. So in other words, they didn't have to freeze it to look at it to keep money from going out.

Speaker 2: 36:45

Yeah.

Speaker 3: 36:46

For the last few months, you know, since November, they could have been looking into all of this government programming, all of this government funding. They could have made their list, like they've done with a lot of things, and said, hey, as soon as we walk in, we're shutting off these 25 right away, we're making sure this money's not going out. I don't think they necessarily needed to do the freeze. They could have done it leaning forward.

Speaker 2: 37:06

But they didn't.

Speaker 3: 37:07

Maybe that was intentional, maybe it was like a shock value.

Speaker 2: 37:11

Let's shock everybody freak everybody out. And calm down. Here's what we're doing, yeah.

Speaker 3: 37:17

No, absolutely. And listen, President Trump's a master at that Like that's not. You know, that's not an accident. So yeah, I think that was, that was a legit move. But you know, I don't know if it was that purposeful, but it very well may have been, but it had the effect.

Speaker 2: 37:33

Yes, oh, it definitely had. It got everybody. Surprise, surprise, everybody got rattled.

Speaker 3: 37:37

Yeah. And then the last one is John Ratcliffe at CIA, and this is a bit of a transition to our next topic, but he walked in and broke some stuff too. Yeah, he sure did? He walked in, he took over, and what was his vote? Count again, do you?

Speaker 2: 37:50

have that. Let's see. His was 74 yes and 25 no.

Speaker 3: 37:58

Yeah, so that was. You know. People were very comfortable with him walking in and taking over CIA, which is good, yeah, but they did turn around and release. You know this change on the COVID origin. Now people need to understand that when the CIA evaluates intelligence, and there's a great if you've ever seen the movie Zero Dark Thirty right, which is the open line.

Speaker 3: 38:24

I know it. Yeah, there's a great scene in that movie where they talk about how much confidence they have in a theory. Yes, so what the CIA has said now is that it is more likely that the COVID origin came from a lab leak than it is the natural, the wet market or natural origin that everybody was you know profusely, you know supporting for four years under president Biden. Now, suddenly, with literally no new data.

Speaker 2: 38:55

So so nothing. I was really hoping that whatever it was that you were going to say was going to be the thing that calmed me down.

Speaker 3: 39:03

No, no, no, no, no. It's no new data. All they did was come up with the answer that we all knew, and, and we're allowed to say it out loud. Come up with the answer that we all knew, and, and we're allowed to say it out loud. So what? Now? Again, when it comes to this, they don't give you a percentage. They don't give you what they talk to you about as a level of confidence. They still say a low level of confidence, that this came from a lab leak, but it is still a higher low level of confidence than the wet market theory which is really just, in my opinion, an attempt to keep us from pulling out our pitchforks and burning it all down burning Langley to the ground.

Speaker 3: 39:41

That is yes, yeah.

Speaker 2: 39:43

I tell you, you know, as women are more like to do, I'm stereotyping myself. I I could cry angry tears, Like I'm so angry. You know what I mean? Like pure rage of what we went through as people who said are you telling me it was a bat? Some bat in some wet market just got us all sick? Are you kidding me? Right now you got the Wuhan lab where they're experimenting on biochemical stuff and you're going to tell me it's not from there and you want me to believe that? Are you kidding me? And for the millions of people across the country, and probably around the world too, that said, hang on, hang on. This doesn't sound right. And to all of those people who told us that we're crazy, that we're stupid, that we're this, that we're, that we're conspiracy theorists, tinfoil hats, all of the awful things that people have said to us and about us for all of these years, I have the biggest F you that I could ever give you got Elsa mad.

Speaker 2: 40:55

Oh my gosh, it just I mean this tore families apart. This has torn the fabric of our country apart. You see people still walking around in open air all by themselves or in their cars wearing masks, because they have been beat down in fear for their lives. They have lost years off of their lives. They've literally lost family members who were locked up in hospitals where they couldn't go and see, them all because of lies and misinformation, calling us the misinformer. I need to calm down.

Speaker 3: 41:35

No, it's you. You are right to be angry, we all are, and this goes back to you. Know, fauci, this goes back to preemptive pardon.

Speaker 2: 41:44

Why did he get a?

Speaker 3: 41:44

preemptive pardon. Because you know why yeah it's because of this and it's because of the money that he made and because of all that, and we were all called idiots, we were called all kinds of names and you know, and anybody who knew anything or had any common sense whatsoever knew that it wasn't a bat. Yeah, you know what I mean, like the fact that we've been validated at this point yeah the. You know the fact that it was john radcliffe walking in. Tell the public, because you know that's what happened that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 2: 42:14

All of these things that are happening preemptively, preemptively, including the removing of the red dye 30, you know, whatever is three, whatever, none of those. Yeah, removing the red, like all of these preemptive things, it's because they know what's coming. Yeah, you know. So it wasn't any. It's nothing other than that. Then now they're, you know, house of cards are all starting to crumble and now they're just trying to get in front of it and get out from underneath it. You know, this is there's nothing noble happening here. For the American people, it's the oh shit, we're caught.

Speaker 3: 42:44

Yeah, this is cover your ass. That's what this is, yeah, so man, oh man.

Speaker 2: 42:50

I mean, if you're, I'll tell you. If you're not angry, there's either something wrong with you or you are so good with God that nothing can phase you. And I would like to be the latter, but I'm still angry, man.

Speaker 3: 43:02

Well, you know, and just in the last week, you know, Pfizer came out with the list of side effects from there, right, which is crazy Listen, folks, if you haven't seen it. And and the only jab I took was the original jab, and I took it mostly because I'd been stuck by everything else by the army before I retired. It didn't matter, right, it didn't matter, but I didn't take any of the boosters afterwards. But if you go back and you look at the Pfizer list of side effects from the vaccine, it's insane. And just to tell you what the kind of the turn has been in attitude towards the vaccines, I went to a VA appointment today and they said hey, we see that you had, uh, you know, the original Pfizer vaccine.

Speaker 3: 43:40

I said yeah, and they said and you haven't had any booster since? And I said no, no, Like, do you want a flu shot or a booster today? And I said absolutely not. And you know what. They said Okay, and that was it. Yeah, Two years ago. Right, it would have been. I would have been lambasted. They would have been no, you really should, I would have got a totally different response. And now everybody, including the VA medical system, is like all right man, you got it Cause they all know it's a sham. Yeah, it's been a sham since the beginning.

Speaker 2: 44:08

Yep From the beginning. And there's people who this is the hill they're going to die on because they don't want to know. Then, one, they have to admit they were wrong. Two, they'd have to apologize for all of the horrible things that they said and wished upon us anti-vaxxers or non-vaxxers or whatever you want to call us. Yeah, no, I'm not ready to make nice. I can tell you that much, and I would love to be the person, I would love to be the bigger person and be able to do that and really pull on that. That Christian goodness, I'm just. I'm not there yet. I'm not, and I don't even know if I ever will be.

Speaker 3: 44:50

I can't even imagine what I would feel had I gotten the vaccine and the seven boosters and then handed that list from Pfizer that lists all the things that they potentially did to me.

Speaker 2: 45:01

It's horrifying to think about.

Speaker 3: 45:03

And to the people that look at that list, that see that list to go, yep, still going for another booster. Like I, I can't help you at this point.

Speaker 2: 45:11

Like you're, you're beyond being informed, like you're willfully ignoring this stuff the thing that I think about, that that enrages me the most is the people that and I know y'all do things in good faith and you want to do. You want to protect your children. I get that. But to to do this to children who are so vulnerable and to inject them with something you have no idea what it is, what the long-term effects are, Didn't go through proper testing.

Speaker 3: 45:40

Nope.

Speaker 2: 45:42

And the horror that these families must be feeling right now, you know. And then, of course, then, like you said, you have the ones that are still like oh no, we're going for a 47 booster right now.

Speaker 3: 45:52

Yeah. All right, let's lower your blood pressure.

Speaker 2: 45:57

We really do need to lower my blood pressure. I got my numbers back. I would have mine checked today.

Speaker 3: 46:01

We're in the same boat. All right, let's move on. What's next in line? This is not going to calm me down, you know what, though, so here's the thing. So this man his name is, and I've got it right here because I knew I was going to screw it up is and I've got it right here because I knew I was going to screw it up yeah, um, matt huddle, who is 42 years old, uh, was stopped by a jasper county sheriff's deputy in indiana, um, and was killed as he resisted arrest. Now a couple of things. One I have not seen, and I don't think it's been released yet. The body camera footage, which you know, especially as an LEO wife, is going to tell the tale.

Speaker 2: 46:38

It'll tell the tale.

Speaker 3: 46:39

And even if it's dash cam, especially if it's a sheriff's deputy and it's a traffic stop, the dash cam is going to play part in it too. Dash cam, body cam footage is going to be all important. The officer people don't jump to conclusions on this he has been suspended pending investigation. Again, elsa will tell you standard procedure Anybody, anybody who shoots and kills someone in the line of duty will be suspended pending investigation. Happens everywhere, right, so don't jump to conclusions. The officer did something wrong before we know.

Speaker 3: 47:13

Okay, now a couple of things. Things one I am willing to at least entertain the idea that this man is suffering some from some form of trauma as a result of his imprisonment for the last three plus years. Um, and I even saw a picture and you said it last show. You don't know what's real and what's not because of ai and all this stuff, right, right, there was a picture of him being. You know, his cell was a very small like broom closet size. I don't think that's right, I think it's AI. So, again, folks take that with a grain of salt. But you know, for somebody who spent the last three plus years in jail, there's probably some trauma associated with that. He probably hasn't reintegrated well or hadn't reintegrated well back into normal society after three years in prison.

Speaker 3: 48:04

He probably had a fear of law enforcement as a result, right? There's a lot of things that could have played into this. So my message in all of this is let's not pass judgment on either one. Please don't pass judgment on that officer until you know what happened. Please don't pass judgment on this man, mr Huddle Matt Huddle before you know what happened. Here's where I have an issue. Have you heard about this from a single celebrity? No, george Floyd.

Speaker 2: 48:34

Right, let's go back to George Floyd All over the news. Yes, oh my goodness.

Speaker 3: 48:38

We haven't heard a single thing about this from anybody, outside of some very small local reporting. You didn't. When I brought this up as a topic, I didn't even know about it.

Speaker 2: 48:47

That was the first I heard of it. Yep, that was the first I heard. Yeah, I had not heard a single blip on the radar about this, at all single blip on the radar about this at all Zero coverage and that Serious right, so strange Proof that the mainstream media has not changed, they have not changed and they never will.

Speaker 2: 49:09

I think that is their bread and butter and it will be for as long as there are people who will watch and consume and just buy it all. And I think that is the saddest thing that we have learned Nothing, that we have allowed the media and government to divide us so severely and so easily. I mean, they've done it. It was so easy. Like you know, they sit back and they laugh about it. They're like watch this, this is so good. I want to get them riled up. Oh, it looks like everybody's quieting down. Let's just throw this at them so they can all fight again.

Speaker 3: 49:43

But it is coming back to bite some of them, right, I mean.

Speaker 2: 49:47

CNN right.

Speaker 3: 49:48

Well, yeah, look who just left. Yeah, right, jim. Acosta right, the biggest Trump antagonist in the mainstream media.

Speaker 2: 50:02

CNN was taking him off of the 10 am time slot, which is they're putting him on a midnight or something, right, midnight 10 am is gold midday news.

Speaker 3: 50:07

That is one of the hot and put it to you this way they're putting Wolf Blitzer in there. Okay, so this is a legit hotspot time slot. It's the first thing after their morning show. This is that time slot. It's the first thing after their morning show like. This is you know, that time spot and Acosta's numbers sucked so bad that they were like and they were worried that they were going to get worse with four years of president Trump, because they knew Acosta wasn't going to change his stripes, so they were going to move him to midnights. And he said I'm not taking midnights. And they said, okay, well, that's the only slot we're offering you. So he walked out and he quit. So there is some backlash with the media, but but again, let's you know this is proof positive. This lack of reporting on this, on Matt Huddle being killed, is is proof positive that the media still sucks.

Speaker 2: 50:51

Oh, absolutely. And and I'm so appreciative that you gave the reminder to people to not jump to conclusions and to whatever your conclusion might be, you know, and I know you have a faction of people that will understandably automatically say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know, you get your tinfoil hat on and like what's that all about? Are they going to start gunning down all the J6 pardons, you know? Are they going to start killing them all and so they can't talk? You know that that is a first go to for for many, many people. You can certainly understand why.

Speaker 2: 51:29

You know the anti-police crowd, of course, are going to go right for the, you know, excessive force or police brutality or all of those things. And, and you know I'm I cam to tell the story and I honestly think that your theory is the most likely case that this was just a series of bad events in a moment of time where this guy was, you know, highly, highly reactive, you know, probably terrified. He just got out. He's thinking I'm going to go, you're going to put me, you're going to lock me back up again If he's got some trauma going on, and you know, and for a police officer, if you feel that you or anyone around you is is under threat of harm, you have to react at such a way you know to to eliminate the threat.

Speaker 3: 52:14

Yep, and you know, and that you know a police officer is going to have to live with that. Yes, you know, and and so let the let just folks just take a breath on this one, let it play itself out before you jump to any conclusions. Yep.

Speaker 2: 52:28

Yeah, it will be one of those things. If you want the details, if you want to know what happens.

Speaker 3: 52:31

Yeah, you're going to have to chase it down because the media is not going to help you.

Speaker 2: 52:36

Yep, we have one more for you guys that we're going to squeeze in real quick. This for me, I mean, I feel like this is a happy note to end it on. You know, we do like to end on a happy note, right, we do yeah.

Speaker 3: 52:45

And the handwritten note from Secretary Hegseth on DOD letterhead that said DOD does not equal DEI right DOD does not equal DEI right, it's a meritocracy.

Speaker 3: 52:57

It always has been. And his immediate, you know, directive was get rid of DEI and everything associated. Now there was, in a spiteful move by the Air Force oh, by the way, the commandant of the Coast Guard has already been fired. Now that was a DHS move, because that's who they fall under. But you know, you've got that. I know that the I think it's the chief staff of the air force is under fire right now for a very similar type attitude.

Speaker 3: 53:24

And then the air force responded to this by removing some curriculum from their junior officer education that taught about the Tuskegee airmen, which was clearly done out of spite. It was done as an FU to the secretary of defense and the new president, and as soon as it was reported it was directed reinstate that immediately. That's not the intent. It was an asshole move by whoever it was in the Air Force, and so you got a little bit of that. But overall, across the government itself, you're starting to see DEI being dismantled, dei programs oh, by the way, this is a huge money saver. You guys have no idea the amount of millions and millions of dollars for DEI programs and DEI training across the USs government.

Speaker 2: 54:14

It's right, gross and that the people hired to do the training to input these uh law or rules and everything I mean they are making. We're making astronomical amounts of money for absurd absurdity, you know. So, yes, huge savings going on um, some some interesting, very big names for um that have walked back or dismantled their DEI departments Meta, of course they did that. January 10th, at least that's the day, I don't know if that's like the official date or what, but that's recent. Mcdonald's, amazon, nissan, university of Michigan who else? Southwest Airlines there were more recent ones. Oh no, no, they were actually December.

Speaker 3: 54:58

So Costco is doubling down on not.

Speaker 2: 55:00

Yes, costco, there's a few of them. Um, actually, the one that did surprise me that that did walk it back, the only one that actually surprised me was target, because they were, you know, one of the most openly, uh, obnoxious ones. Uh, walmart, uh, the FCC, but, yes, holding firm is Costco, jp Morgan and Chase Pinterest. Does anybody still use Pinterest? Johnson and Johnson and Apple are the ones that I have right now. There was more, but those are, of course, were some notable ones. So, if anything hasn't changed in the time that I found that, Costco's facing a strike, so that's going to happen.

Speaker 3: 55:36

I don't know how DEI plays a role in that, but I know it's going to be a bit of a probably bargaining chip for one side or the other. But Costco is probably the biggest one that has been out loud about doubling down on not getting rid of it. So we'll see what happens. You know, again, decisions are made, so you know, if they start losing the sam's club, you know I mean it's that's kind of the way that it's going to work. But yeah, we'll see what happens yep, exactly.

Speaker 2: 56:03

No, it's. Uh, you know, it's all good news, whether you know, whether people want to believe it is or not, or agree that it is or not, this is all good news for america and this is what we voted for this is what we voted for 60 of america voted for this.

Speaker 3: 56:17

60% of America voted for this right yeah.

Speaker 2: 56:19

Yeah, we are what? Uh, let's say so as of today, we are what? Nine days in to this administration and look how much is getting done. Talk about somebody doing the job that you hired him to do. Right, I'm, I'm so blown away, I'm so happy, I'm so pleased to see that they're doing what they said they would do. He's doing what he said he would do. He's putting in the people that are doing the jobs. It's just, it's incredible.

Speaker 3: 56:48

I'm shocked, truthfully. I knew, you know, I knew I w I was one of those people and I am certainly not anymore. But I was one of those people who's like Liz, he's being very aggressive. You know, I watch his inauguration speech. I was like there's a lot of things he wants to get done. Yeah, very aggressive. I don't know if four years is enough time to get done.

Speaker 2: 57:07

I remember having that conversation.

Speaker 3: 57:08

Yeah, you might get it all done by the end of the first year. Like unbelievable the progress, the things that are being done this quickly and I guarantee, like there's jokes, that the press corps is like begging him to slow down. They can't keep up with it.

Speaker 2: 57:21

They can't, there's so much they can't keep up. And now he's adding did you see that they're adding or opening up the press pool to content creators, all these different lanes, independent journalists? Basically, they're opening up. You can apply. I think at the moment they have like over 7,000 applications that came flooding in and and the you know requisite is is that you have to be, you know, serious in what you're doing and that you consistently report on newsworthy items in your content and you are welcome to apply. So that's you know.
