00:00:00.560 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:00:12.160 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:15.340 We have Victor Davis Hanson coming up in just a bit.
00:00:18.280 And wait until you hear the latest reporting about Mayor Karen Bass
00:00:22.160 and what she was up to exactly during the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
00:00:26.480 This woman is cold, stone, calloused.
00:00:32.520 I mean, she does not seem to give an F.
00:00:35.480 We'll show you the video and play you the sound.
00:00:37.980 But first, these days, personal safety is not something that can be left to chance.
00:00:43.940 Whether at home, on the road, or just living everyday life,
00:00:47.400 having a reliable way to protect yourself and your family is crucial.
00:00:51.340 This is why Berna is the choice for many.
00:00:54.060 I'm excited to tell you about Berna.
00:00:55.700 Berna is a game-changing, less lethal, self-defense tool.
00:01:00.620 It's compact, it's powerful, and it's easy to use.
00:01:04.380 It provides the confidence to act in any situation,
00:01:07.560 whether you are a gun owner who would like a non-lethal option
00:01:10.840 before you get to the actual firearm,
00:01:13.340 or you are someone who is uncomfortable with guns
00:01:16.480 and you want something to protect yourself,
00:01:18.700 but something that is not lethal.
00:01:21.280 Berna uses non-lethal rounds, tear gas, pepper, kinetic projectiles,
00:01:25.700 to effectively stop a threat from a safe distance.
00:01:28.720 And the best part?
00:01:29.940 Berna can be shipped directly to your door,
00:01:32.120 and it's legal in all 50 states.
00:01:34.440 Berna is proudly American with products hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:01:38.900 Sometimes a firearm is not the right option.
00:01:41.140 What if you have terrible aim?
00:01:42.300 With Berna, you actually don't have to hit the perpetrator.
00:01:44.260 If he's hiding behind a chair, you can hit the wall right behind him or all around him.
00:01:49.140 And the basically chemical pellets will take him out for a time,
00:01:53.780 not take him out, take him out.
00:01:55.900 Berna is a powerful alternative, and a lot of gun owners love it.
00:01:59.460 A lot of non-gun owners love it.
00:02:01.280 It's just a very clever, thoughtful alternative or addition to your firearm.
00:02:05.840 Protect what matters most with Berna.
00:02:07.240 Visit B-Y-R-N-A dot com.
00:02:11.200 That's B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Megan to receive a 10% discount
00:02:14.520 and learn why thousands of people in law enforcement agencies
00:02:17.460 are making the switch to Berna's less lethal protection.
00:02:21.920 Berna, non-lethal self-defense, always ready.
00:02:26.240 Back at home now, here in Connecticut,
00:02:28.720 after attending the Pete Hegseth hearing yesterday,
00:02:31.500 where the nominee for defense secretary knocked it out of the park.
00:02:35.160 Last night, after we said goodbye to you guys,
00:02:37.960 after a late taping following the hearing,
00:02:39.960 the most important thing in this entire process happened.
00:02:43.140 Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa,
00:02:45.620 who I told you on the show had been very much on the fence about Pete,
00:02:49.760 came out and formally announced her support for him.
00:02:52.420 It's done. He's going to get confirmed. It's over. He's in.
00:02:55.600 You can start calling him Mr. Secretary.
00:02:57.460 That's my view, unless something catastrophic happens
00:03:00.560 between now and the time the full Senate takes its vote.
00:03:02.540 We were looking at McConnell. We were looking at Collins.
00:03:05.480 We were looking at Murkowski.
00:03:07.440 McConnell's, of course, an enemy of Trump,
00:03:09.220 and Murkowski and Collins are left-wing Republicans.
00:03:13.460 And then we were looking at Ernst.
00:03:15.140 Well, the Republicans can afford to lose three, not four, three.
00:03:19.320 If it's three, it'll be 50-50 vote in the Senate,
00:03:21.660 assuming he gets no damn votes.
00:03:23.240 And then the vice president, as president of the Senate,
00:03:25.820 would cast the deciding vote.
00:03:27.000 That would be J.D. Vance, and he'd be confirmed.
00:03:29.080 We're not even hearing any rumblings about McConnell and the other two now.
00:03:31.860 They haven't officially said that they'll be voting for him.
00:03:35.100 But Ernst was the pivotal character.
00:03:37.740 There isn't a person, including you, Susan Collins,
00:03:40.380 you, Lisa Murkowski, or you, Leader McConnell,
00:03:43.440 who cares more about women in the military than Joni Ernst.
00:03:48.360 There is not one.
00:03:49.460 Not you, Kirsten Gillibrand.
00:03:51.580 None of you.
00:03:52.840 So if she's on board,
00:03:55.000 there is no excuse for, in particular,
00:03:57.700 these Republicans, who I just listed, not to be on board.
00:04:00.340 And I think they'll realize that.
00:04:02.620 I don't think he's going to get a damn vote.
00:04:04.400 I actually don't think he will.
00:04:05.920 This is how it goes now.
00:04:07.940 We used to get majority, even unanimous support,
00:04:10.900 for another party's nominees,
00:04:12.340 unless there was, you know,
00:04:13.660 just something so obviously beyond the pale.
00:04:16.440 And now we don't.
00:04:18.340 Now you have to have majority control in the Senate
00:04:20.580 in order to get your nominees through,
00:04:21.980 or at least ones who have any sort of controversy,
00:04:24.080 real or manufactured.
00:04:25.400 And in Pete's case, it's mostly the latter.
00:04:28.860 You know, we've talked about the things in his personal life,
00:04:30.920 which would come back to haunt any nominee.
00:04:33.740 But let's face it, you know,
00:04:35.240 the Democrats have elected a man as president
00:04:37.380 who was accused of rape and sexual assault
00:04:39.220 by multiple women.
00:04:40.600 They had no problem with it.
00:04:42.560 They were about to elect a woman
00:04:44.740 whose husband was accused of openly beating another woman,
00:04:48.340 not to mention being a serial cheater,
00:04:50.540 or at least a cheater,
00:04:51.860 with the family nanny, whatever.
00:04:54.660 Like, their morals are situational.
00:04:58.140 So Pete's going to be confirmed,
00:05:00.140 and you should get used to the phrase
00:05:02.220 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
00:05:04.560 You can go cry in your soup, leftists,
00:05:06.880 over how that makes you feel.
00:05:08.860 But what President Trump wanted,
00:05:11.060 and by the way, he won the election,
00:05:13.580 was somebody who understood the warrior,
00:05:16.420 who understood the fighting men and women,
00:05:17.740 and that's Pete.
00:05:18.580 He wanted the guy who could answer the questions
00:05:20.660 that came from Senator Sheehy of Montana
00:05:23.400 about how you load a weapon
00:05:24.760 and what the ammo looks like
00:05:26.180 and what the batteries are
00:05:27.420 that you put in your night vision goggles.
00:05:29.020 That's what he wanted.
00:05:30.920 And President Trump talks about how,
00:05:33.260 and others have told these stories,
00:05:34.360 about how when he was in office the first time,
00:05:36.440 he would call the generals in there
00:05:37.880 and they would give him one set of advice,
00:05:39.480 and then he would call the enlisted guys in there
00:05:42.000 and ask for their take.
00:05:43.580 And this would upset some of these generals.
00:05:45.800 Not all of them,
00:05:46.300 but some of these generals would get irritated
00:05:48.180 that these lowly plebs would be listened to
00:05:52.260 by the commander-in-chief.
00:05:54.380 Well, it turns out Trump was way more interested
00:05:56.140 in what those lowly enlisted guys had to say
00:05:59.500 than the generals.
00:06:00.520 And this pick reflects that.
00:06:02.660 Pete's a major, he's not a general.
00:06:04.540 But my point is,
00:06:05.920 he wanted somebody who had actual boots on the ground,
00:06:09.120 as Pete put it yesterday,
00:06:10.120 dust on the boots fighting experience,
00:06:11.980 where he was laying his own life on the line
00:06:14.640 repeatedly for the country.
00:06:17.240 That's what Pete has done,
00:06:18.880 and that is the mentality he's gonna bring back
00:06:20.780 into the Department of Defense.
00:06:22.560 It was interesting,
00:06:23.360 one of the exchanges where Kirsten Gillibrand,
00:06:25.340 and don't get me wrong,
00:06:26.260 she was hysterical yesterday,
00:06:27.500 very strange performance.
00:06:29.200 But I will tell you that I respect Kirsten Gillibrand
00:06:32.080 a lot more than I do a lot of these other Dem senators.
00:06:34.720 There are a few who I actually like.
00:06:36.720 I like Mark Kelly, too.
00:06:37.940 He gave Pete some guff yesterday,
00:06:39.760 but he's a good man.
00:06:41.980 But Gillibrand has done a lot
00:06:43.580 to help protect women in various spaces,
00:06:45.320 and I respect a lot of what she's done.
00:06:47.580 She's not generally this much of just an emotional mess.
00:06:53.480 But she's wrong about Pete.
00:06:56.400 You know, she kept saying to him yesterday,
00:06:58.680 there's absolutely no slip in the standards for women.
00:07:01.560 Absolutely none.
00:07:02.560 They have to meet all the same tests that the men do.
00:07:04.340 And Pete's response was to name specific groups
00:07:07.080 and areas in which there were written
00:07:10.180 or unwritten quotas for allowing women in.
00:07:13.160 And he's looking at her and saying,
00:07:14.720 Senator, in the real world,
00:07:16.200 the rules are being bent to look the other way
00:07:19.300 when it's a woman who fails this test or that.
00:07:22.760 She can't possibly refute that.
00:07:25.840 She can't possibly say that's not true,
00:07:28.780 which is what she was trying to do.
00:07:30.460 She was saying there's no written standard
00:07:32.140 that would give women a pass,
00:07:33.900 like women only have to score seven on the fitness test,
00:07:37.340 whereas men have to score nine, of course.
00:07:40.240 I mean, does that surprise anybody?
00:07:41.700 They didn't put that in writing.
00:07:43.260 But does it also surprise you that when in practicality,
00:07:46.680 they're under massive pressure from their bosses
00:07:48.980 to allow more women in,
00:07:50.960 that they do look the other way
00:07:52.080 when they're a little slower on the run
00:07:53.400 or they have trouble managing their 100-pound ruck?
00:07:56.340 And the other things that Pete
00:07:57.960 and the guys were talking about yesterday,
00:07:59.240 like let's get real.
00:08:00.720 He's saying, I don't want that anymore.
00:08:02.500 And the messaging from the top
00:08:03.800 is going to be very, very different.
00:08:08.040 I was amused and also irritated
00:08:11.960 looking at some of the coverage
00:08:13.480 of what happened yesterday.
00:08:16.700 Every single newspaper and podcast, et cetera,
00:08:20.900 that's not independent or openly conservative
00:08:24.120 talks about the allegations against Pete
00:08:26.900 as though they're real, they're true,
00:08:29.120 and they've been established,
00:08:30.760 whether it's the public or the drinking,
00:08:32.520 the public drunkenness,
00:08:34.180 or the allegations that he allegedly raped a woman.
00:08:40.720 Like they just talk about,
00:08:41.520 he's like accused of rape and signed a settlement.
00:08:44.220 I mean, signed a settlement, that's it.
00:08:45.400 He must be guilty, right?
00:08:46.920 As if no public figure who's innocent
00:08:50.300 and facing the threat that he will lose his job,
00:08:53.760 Fox absolutely would have been in a position
00:08:56.160 of having to fire him.
00:08:57.340 Had this woman come forward and said,
00:08:58.900 he raped me, I'm a conservative,
00:09:01.200 I'm with this Republican women's group,
00:09:03.240 and he came out here on a speaking engagement,
00:09:05.600 which Fox doesn't love anyway.
00:09:06.760 They don't love it when you do these things.
00:09:08.100 So any excuse to like, you know,
00:09:09.960 make a thing out of it.
00:09:11.640 And Pete, while beloved at Fox,
00:09:13.320 wasn't their top, top guy.
00:09:14.620 So he was expendable.
00:09:16.420 His, I think his calculation was exactly right,
00:09:18.640 that it was too risky to let this woman go out
00:09:21.640 and tell the public, nevermind his bosses,
00:09:23.720 that he was a rapist.
00:09:25.560 And then, you know, his defense is absolutely meritorious.
00:09:30.220 However, it doesn't make him look good.
00:09:32.860 The defense is it wasn't rape,
00:09:34.360 it was consensual cheating on, you know, my,
00:09:38.640 yes, technically he was still with his second wife,
00:09:40.420 but he was already with Jen at that point.
00:09:42.460 So my soon to be third wife.
00:09:44.820 All of that doesn't make him look good either.
00:09:46.460 So I'm just saying the calculation in Pete's head
00:09:48.900 for why he signed that settlement
00:09:49.980 makes perfect sense to any thinking person.
00:09:52.560 But in the press, it's you got accused
00:09:54.920 and you signed an agreement.
00:09:56.060 So you're guilty.
00:09:57.060 And they know that's not true.
00:09:58.620 And I loved it when the one Senator from Oklahoma was like,
00:10:02.900 how many of you cheated on your wives?
00:10:05.160 He was clearly intimating that he had cheated on his.
00:10:07.980 And he's saying, if it weren't for my wife,
00:10:10.420 I think he said, I'd be in jail,
00:10:11.680 which I'd like to know more about.
00:10:13.860 But he was clearly making the point
00:10:15.040 that he had a very forgiving wife
00:10:16.380 and that he had sinned.
00:10:18.680 And look, there are a lot of marriages
00:10:19.960 where people make really stupid mistakes
00:10:21.980 and the couple decides to get past it.
00:10:26.440 That appears to be what happened with Jen and Pete,
00:10:29.740 where they started in a difficult position
00:10:31.860 and they had difficulties,
00:10:33.520 not surprisingly, at the start of their relationship.
00:10:36.360 And then they got past them.
00:10:38.940 They got past them.
00:10:40.160 All these people are saying Pete's Christian conversion,
00:10:42.300 I think he was always Christian,
00:10:43.240 but he's leaned in,
00:10:44.540 is false, meant to justify his bad behavior.
00:10:47.940 But bullshit, like what's your evidence of that?
00:10:50.800 How do you know?
00:10:52.100 Why did he get the big tattoo?
00:10:54.020 You know, the big cross on his chest.
00:10:57.040 Was that just in case Trump one day
00:11:00.020 nominated him to something
00:11:01.240 so he could tell his story
00:11:02.500 of embracing his Christianity?
00:11:05.040 And he could, like Superman,
00:11:06.600 open up his chest and say,
00:11:07.900 see, I'm a true believer.
00:11:09.380 Bullshit.
00:11:10.120 If anything, that tattoo has caused him more trouble
00:11:11.800 than it's helped him.
00:11:14.300 So I just, what is your evidence
00:11:16.440 that his leaning into Jesus is false?
00:11:20.520 I don't see that.
00:11:22.120 I see quite the contrary.
00:11:23.500 If anything, I hear people rolling their eyes
00:11:25.140 that he's become too much of a holy roller.
00:11:27.520 Well, I've seen a lot of people lean into God in my life
00:11:30.520 and read the Bible and have things change for them.
00:11:33.440 And I have zero reason to doubt
00:11:35.360 that that's what happened to Pete.
00:11:37.500 And I think Jen too.
00:11:39.160 And I believed him when he said he wakes up in the morning
00:11:41.040 and the two of them pray together.
00:11:42.660 And I think he'll pray not just to do a good job
00:11:45.940 as secretary of defense,
00:11:46.940 but pray for our troops and our country
00:11:48.260 and our president as soon as he is sworn in,
00:11:52.020 which he will be.
00:11:54.160 But anyway, I want to go over
00:11:55.340 some of the media coverage,
00:11:57.000 just the dishonesty,
00:11:58.720 and get back to a couple of the highlights from yesterday
00:12:02.120 because the public has had some fun
00:12:04.560 with some of these hysterical female Democratic senators.
00:12:08.840 There's, I'm not upset.
00:12:11.960 You know, it's like, thank God.
00:12:14.060 We had like Joni Ernst up there
00:12:16.940 who was calm, cool, and collected
00:12:18.920 and represented herself very well.
00:12:20.880 You know, she was a more Margaret Thatcher type.
00:12:22.640 She wasn't hysterical.
00:12:24.800 And she's had firsthand experience with these issues.
00:12:27.320 So she had reason to be upset if she wanted to be.
00:12:30.200 In any event, let's start with the most,
00:12:33.820 like I did say, and I stand by,
00:12:35.700 that Tim Kaine was the most disgusting.
00:12:37.100 He was the most despicable.
00:12:38.660 Like, when did you stop beating your wife?
00:12:40.220 What?
00:12:40.500 That's not even a thing.
00:12:41.820 It's not even an allegation.
00:12:42.980 That Pete's some wife beater?
00:12:44.860 Okay.
00:12:45.540 He got away with it.
00:12:46.780 That's fine.
00:12:48.880 I'd love to go back and see what Tim Kaine has said
00:12:51.100 about, you know, Ted Kennedy,
00:12:52.940 who, you know, let a woman die
00:12:54.840 after he drove drunk
00:12:56.220 and plunged her into Chappaquiddick,
00:12:58.400 into the lake in Chappaquiddick.
00:12:59.560 Does he, did he ask him
00:13:01.220 when he started, stopped beating the women in his life?
00:13:03.120 When he stopped killing them?
00:13:04.000 Like, was he even around?
00:13:05.880 Like, cause he, you know,
00:13:07.460 he ran for vice president
00:13:09.000 on the same ticket as Hillary Clinton.
00:13:10.420 He's got a long connection
00:13:11.380 to these old, extremely flawed top Democrats.
00:13:16.520 Love to know his thoughts on that.
00:13:19.220 In any event,
00:13:21.620 this sort of the second in command
00:13:23.400 for worst performance yesterday.
00:13:26.080 Oh, but it's tight.
00:13:27.140 I don't know.
00:13:28.160 Is it Duckworth?
00:13:29.080 Is it Hirono?
00:13:29.880 Or is it Sleeper Candidate Slotkin?
00:13:34.600 Sleeper Candidate Slotkin of Michigan
00:13:37.440 got under my skin more than any other.
00:13:40.880 And it was mostly because as I watched her,
00:13:43.600 I knew she was smart enough to know better.
00:13:46.260 She's smart.
00:13:47.080 You could tell she's definitely smart,
00:13:48.560 but so infuriating.
00:13:51.020 It was like bamboo shoots
00:13:52.380 under my fingernails listening.
00:13:53.540 Like, Hirono was kind of amusing.
00:13:55.200 Like, I hate you,
00:13:56.000 but you're very amusing.
00:13:56.900 Um, Duckworth was very annoying
00:14:01.820 and less amusing.
00:14:03.760 Like, a sad little lady,
00:14:05.600 but like less amusing than Hirono.
00:14:07.880 And then Slotkin was probably the most pernicious
00:14:10.440 because she's got some gravitas
00:14:12.400 in the way she approaches her messaging.
00:14:15.000 But, and she worked for the CIA
00:14:17.040 under George W. Bush,
00:14:18.340 under Barack Obama.
00:14:19.820 And, um, I'm not sure
00:14:21.580 if she was still there under Trump.
00:14:22.640 I think she may have left.
00:14:23.500 And she ran for office as a dem
00:14:24.920 in Michigan in 2018.
00:14:27.100 And that's what she's been doing
00:14:28.540 and now ran for Senate.
00:14:30.040 And she beat Republican Mike Rogers
00:14:31.440 for the, for the Senate seat.
00:14:33.820 That could have been in our seat.
00:14:34.840 She won it.
00:14:35.720 Too bad, because Mike Rogers
00:14:37.100 would have been a far superior choice.
00:14:40.000 So, all right.
00:14:40.800 I guess I'll go through them in that order.
00:14:42.100 So you can go on the same journey I did.
00:14:43.880 Let's start with, um, Maisie Hirono,
00:14:46.780 who you heard Michael Knowles say yesterday,
00:14:48.380 no, no civilized country
00:14:49.700 would make this woman a senator.
00:14:51.600 But she did.
00:14:52.980 And just what I wanted to do
00:14:54.780 in this soundbite that we cut for you here
00:14:56.320 is show you, yes, she's a moron.
00:14:59.780 But listen to how uninterested she was
00:15:03.020 in any answers from Pete Hexed.
00:15:06.840 It was all performative.
00:15:09.700 And, Maisie, you're not a good performer.
00:15:12.440 But just watch.
00:15:14.100 I have read multiple reports
00:15:15.880 of your regularly being drunk at work,
00:15:18.800 including by people who worked with you
00:15:21.740 at Fox News.
00:15:22.960 Do you know that being drunk at work
00:15:24.580 is prohibited for service members
00:15:26.240 under the UCMJ?
00:15:29.360 Senator, those are multiple false
00:15:32.480 anonymous reports peddled by NBC News
00:15:35.360 that run directly contradictory
00:15:37.620 to the dozens of men and women
00:15:39.560 at Fox News Channel
00:15:40.560 who I work with
00:15:42.140 who came on the record.
00:15:43.100 Will you resign as Secretary of Defense
00:15:46.840 if you drink on the job,
00:15:48.800 which is a 24-7 position?
00:15:51.480 I've made this commitment
00:15:52.700 on behalf of the men and women
00:15:54.480 I'm serving.
00:15:54.540 Will you resign as Secretary of Defense
00:15:56.140 if you drink on the job?
00:15:56.380 I've made this commitment
00:15:57.080 on behalf of the men and women
00:15:58.520 I'm serving.
00:15:59.180 I'm not hearing.
00:15:59.600 Because it's the most important
00:16:00.800 deployment of my life.
00:16:01.720 I'm not hearing an answer
00:16:02.120 to my question,
00:16:02.900 so I'm going to move on.
00:16:04.180 Would you carry out such an order
00:16:05.800 from President Trump?
00:16:08.800 Senator, I was in the Washington, D.C.
00:16:11.580 National Guard unit
00:16:12.560 that was in Lafayette Square
00:16:13.900 during those events
00:16:14.840 holding a riot shield
00:16:15.900 on behalf of my country.
00:16:17.640 Would you carry out an order
00:16:18.620 to shoot protesters in the legs?
00:16:18.640 I saw 50 Secret Service agents
00:16:20.700 get injured by rioters
00:16:22.620 trying to jump over the fence,
00:16:24.360 set the church on fire,
00:16:25.740 and destroy a statue.
00:16:26.560 That sounds to me
00:16:27.180 that you will comply
00:16:28.180 with such an order.
00:16:29.000 You will shoot protesters
00:16:30.040 in the leg.
00:16:31.500 Would you use our military
00:16:34.000 to take over Greenland
00:16:36.760 or an ally of Denmark?
00:16:42.400 Senator, one of the things
00:16:43.300 that President Trump
00:16:43.920 is so good at
00:16:44.660 is never strategically
00:16:45.780 tipping his hand.
00:16:46.960 And so I would never
00:16:47.760 in this public forum
00:16:48.820 give one way or another
00:16:50.380 direct what orders
00:16:51.400 the president would give me
00:16:52.580 in any context.
00:16:53.580 That sounds to me
00:16:54.000 that you would contemplate
00:16:55.020 carrying out such an order
00:16:56.740 to basically invade Greenland
00:16:58.620 and take over the Panama Canal.
00:17:01.180 The COD policy
00:17:02.020 allows service members
00:17:03.200 and eligible dependents
00:17:05.220 to be reimbursed
00:17:06.780 for travel associated
00:17:07.940 with non-covered
00:17:09.360 reproductive health care,
00:17:10.980 including abortions.
00:17:12.460 Will you maintain
00:17:13.460 this common sense policy?
00:17:15.660 Senator, I've always been
00:17:17.060 personally pro-life.
00:17:18.780 I know President Trump
00:17:19.620 has as well,
00:17:20.700 and we will review
00:17:21.860 all policies.
00:17:22.860 I'm not hearing answers
00:17:24.080 to my questions,
00:17:24.940 Mr. Chairman.
00:17:28.200 Because you won't listen.
00:17:30.800 Because you refuse
00:17:31.820 to just listen
00:17:32.980 to the nominee
00:17:34.220 who is trying
00:17:35.260 to answer them.
00:17:36.180 Just not the way you like.
00:17:38.000 He actually did try
00:17:38.640 to give you an answer
00:17:39.360 about those
00:17:40.320 drunkenness reports
00:17:42.060 talking about how
00:17:43.260 it was an NBC
00:17:43.900 hit job against him.
00:17:45.280 It was a denial,
00:17:46.120 madam.
00:17:46.340 You just didn't want
00:17:46.980 to hear it.
00:17:48.700 And her thing about
00:17:49.840 the Greenland
00:17:50.540 and Panama,
00:17:51.140 what she's really
00:17:52.040 saying there
00:17:52.420 is I object
00:17:52.920 to Donald Trump.
00:17:53.940 I hate Trump.
00:17:55.280 I hate what he's saying.
00:17:56.760 Will you do
00:17:57.060 what I want
00:17:57.600 instead of what
00:17:58.120 Trump wants?
00:17:59.180 And Pete Hexeth
00:17:59.780 is not taking that bait.
00:18:01.380 Oh, I know it's upsetting,
00:18:02.660 isn't it, madam?
00:18:03.400 You lost.
00:18:04.480 You didn't get your way.
00:18:05.880 And she's working
00:18:06.600 things out on the bench
00:18:07.400 from the seat up there.
00:18:09.100 She was just,
00:18:09.960 look, she wasn't effective.
00:18:11.060 She was kind of whiny.
00:18:12.580 And nobody paid
00:18:13.780 any attention to her.
00:18:14.480 She scored
00:18:14.940 no points whatsoever.
00:18:16.000 So, okay, I guess,
00:18:17.100 you know,
00:18:17.480 maybe she did a little
00:18:18.720 high five with her staff.
00:18:21.900 I did see Elizabeth Warren
00:18:23.160 when I was in the room
00:18:23.820 yesterday go over
00:18:25.020 to Tim Kaine
00:18:25.900 and they were saying
00:18:26.580 good job to one another.
00:18:28.060 The little tag team.
00:18:29.080 Oh, we're the smartest.
00:18:29.980 We got him.
00:18:32.100 But let's get back
00:18:33.100 to the most annoying.
00:18:34.540 My list of most annoying
00:18:36.740 senators at the Pete Hexeth
00:18:38.380 confirmation hearings
00:18:40.540 yesterday.
00:18:42.020 Again, most smarmy,
00:18:43.340 most despicable,
00:18:44.160 that's Tim Kaine.
00:18:44.840 But I'm going to put
00:18:46.360 Maisie Hirono
00:18:47.620 in the third spot
00:18:49.200 for most annoying
00:18:51.140 since she was so pathetic.
00:18:53.680 It was hard to be
00:18:54.220 really annoyed
00:18:54.740 as opposed to just
00:18:55.380 kind of mocking her.
00:18:56.900 In number two,
00:18:58.720 Tammy Duckworth,
00:19:00.320 a senator from Illinois
00:19:01.920 who was equally disrespectful
00:19:05.080 of Pete Hexeth
00:19:06.680 and equally uninterested
00:19:09.860 in hearing his answers
00:19:10.800 and tried,
00:19:12.200 she tried to,
00:19:13.700 like,
00:19:14.260 do a couple of gotchas
00:19:15.520 against Pete,
00:19:16.580 which we've captured a bit
00:19:17.640 in this soundbite,
00:19:19.020 which I'm going to talk to you
00:19:19.940 about on the back end.
00:19:20.740 Watch here.
00:19:22.640 Have you led an audit
00:19:23.780 of any organization?
00:19:25.040 Yes or no?
00:19:25.840 I don't want a long answer.
00:19:26.880 Yes or no.
00:19:27.260 Have you led an audit
00:19:28.420 of any organization
00:19:29.320 of which you were in charge?
00:19:30.820 Senator,
00:19:31.320 in both of the organizations
00:19:32.440 I ran,
00:19:33.220 we were always completely
00:19:34.620 fiscally responsible
00:19:35.520 Yes or no,
00:19:36.320 did you lead an audit?
00:19:37.200 And the way my leadership
00:19:38.400 has been stated
00:19:39.480 has been completely
00:19:40.900 mischaracterized.
00:19:41.480 You can't answer this question.
00:19:43.040 Yes or no,
00:19:43.780 did you lead an audit?
00:19:44.880 Do you not know this answer?
00:19:46.540 Senator,
00:19:47.000 every part of my leadership
00:19:48.180 of these organizations
00:19:49.240 has been misrepresented
00:19:49.900 from top to bottom.
00:19:50.680 I will take that as a no.
00:19:52.000 What is the highest level
00:19:53.220 of international security agreement
00:19:55.240 that you have led?
00:19:57.620 And can you name some
00:19:59.180 that the Secretary of Defense
00:20:00.240 would lead?
00:20:00.840 There are three main ones.
00:20:02.480 Do you know?
00:20:03.040 I have not been involved
00:20:03.960 in international security arrangements
00:20:05.640 because I have not been
00:20:06.640 in government
00:20:07.180 other than serving
00:20:08.220 in the military.
00:20:08.960 So my job has been
00:20:09.880 to lead men and women
00:20:11.340 in combat.
00:20:11.660 Can you name one
00:20:11.800 of the three main ones
00:20:12.900 that the Secretary of Defense
00:20:14.100 signed?
00:20:14.360 You're talking about defense arrangements.
00:20:14.960 I mean, NATO might be one
00:20:16.120 that you're referring to.
00:20:18.220 States of Forces Agreement
00:20:19.580 would be one of them.
00:20:20.520 Status of Forces Agreement.
00:20:22.160 I've been a part of teaching
00:20:23.680 about Status of Forces Agreement.
00:20:25.420 But you don't remember
00:20:26.100 to mention it?
00:20:30.520 Okay.
00:20:31.520 So it's like a little
00:20:32.340 fun memory test
00:20:33.400 by Tammy Duckworth.
00:20:37.080 Trying to do little,
00:20:38.680 like, let's play,
00:20:40.400 let's play, you know,
00:20:42.200 my little guessing game.
00:20:43.660 I'm your high school
00:20:45.020 history professor
00:20:45.900 and we're going to see
00:20:47.140 how well you can do
00:20:48.080 on my little pop quiz
00:20:49.360 for you.
00:20:50.520 Then she got into
00:20:51.720 ASEAN.
00:20:53.480 Remember this?
00:20:54.060 Do we have this, Deb?
00:20:54.760 We had a cut yesterday,
00:20:55.680 I think.
00:20:55.940 Can we bring it over?
00:20:57.620 Where she tried to do
00:20:58.620 a little,
00:20:59.240 she did like a gotcha
00:21:00.200 on him
00:21:00.920 about this group
00:21:02.400 of South Asian countries
00:21:04.060 and whether,
00:21:05.100 it was really a test,
00:21:05.960 I guess,
00:21:06.260 to understand
00:21:06.860 whether he knew
00:21:08.260 this,
00:21:09.500 you know,
00:21:10.660 this abbreviation,
00:21:11.780 right?
00:21:12.080 This ASEAN.
00:21:13.160 I remember when I heard it,
00:21:14.100 I'm like,
00:21:14.380 it's pronounced Asian
00:21:15.280 because I had no idea
00:21:16.700 what she was talking
00:21:17.280 about either.
00:21:18.280 ASEAN.
00:21:18.880 And by the way,
00:21:19.700 apparently that's not
00:21:20.380 how you pronounce
00:21:21.100 even the group
00:21:22.020 that she was talking
00:21:22.620 about.
00:21:22.920 It is actually
00:21:23.580 pronounced closer
00:21:24.300 to Asian.
00:21:25.620 It's this group
00:21:26.280 of countries
00:21:26.780 in Southeast Asia
00:21:28.280 that very,
00:21:30.080 like,
00:21:30.400 together,
00:21:31.080 they are,
00:21:31.620 individually,
00:21:32.400 they don't amount
00:21:32.900 to much economically
00:21:33.780 or otherwise,
00:21:34.280 but together,
00:21:34.960 they're like about
00:21:36.500 the size of the UK
00:21:37.280 and they have more
00:21:37.860 bargaining power,
00:21:38.560 so sometimes they
00:21:39.120 try to refer to
00:21:39.820 themselves as a group,
00:21:40.780 but it's more
00:21:41.100 of an economic deal
00:21:42.580 than a political,
00:21:43.820 or than a military deal.
00:21:46.480 So,
00:21:47.180 you know,
00:21:47.560 amazingly,
00:21:48.320 Pete hadn't studied
00:21:49.320 up on his acronyms
00:21:50.400 for every single region
00:21:52.520 in the United States
00:21:53.440 and I guess flunked
00:21:54.640 her little test
00:21:55.260 and she and leftists
00:21:57.440 on Twitter
00:21:57.960 lost their minds
00:21:59.020 over this.
00:22:02.500 Pacific a little bit
00:22:03.480 and I'm glad
00:22:03.960 that you mentioned it.
00:22:05.000 Can you name
00:22:06.260 the importance
00:22:07.660 of at least one
00:22:08.560 of the nations
00:22:09.160 in ASEAN
00:22:09.960 and what type
00:22:12.160 of agreement
00:22:12.660 we have
00:22:13.280 with at least
00:22:14.120 one of those nations
00:22:14.880 and how many nations
00:22:15.660 are in ASEAN,
00:22:16.460 by the way?
00:22:17.380 I couldn't tell you
00:22:18.380 the exact amount
00:22:19.100 of nations in that,
00:22:19.900 but I know we have
00:22:20.520 allies in South Korea
00:22:21.720 and Japan
00:22:22.580 and in AUKUS
00:22:23.980 with Australia
00:22:24.800 and trying to work
00:22:25.800 on submarines
00:22:26.560 with them.
00:22:27.360 Mr. Hexaf,
00:22:28.280 none of those
00:22:28.840 countries are in ASEAN.
00:22:30.600 None of those
00:22:31.200 three countries
00:22:31.940 that you've mentioned
00:22:32.480 are in ASEAN.
00:22:33.300 I suggest you do
00:22:34.060 a little homework
00:22:34.760 before you prepare
00:22:35.620 for these types
00:22:36.680 of negotiations.
00:22:38.580 Listen.
00:22:39.160 I'm just trying
00:22:43.060 to make them
00:22:43.360 look dumb.
00:22:44.320 No,
00:22:44.640 like literally
00:22:45.440 nobody knew
00:22:46.020 about this group
00:22:46.780 that that's
00:22:47.380 what they go by.
00:22:48.360 You want to go
00:22:49.020 through the names,
00:22:49.720 the individual names?
00:22:50.540 Sure,
00:22:50.740 I'm sure he'd be
00:22:51.280 happy to talk to you
00:22:51.900 about the individual
00:22:52.380 names and what
00:22:53.240 the strategic interests
00:22:54.280 of the United States
00:22:55.140 are with respect
00:22:55.780 to each one
00:22:57.020 or together
00:22:57.860 as a group,
00:22:58.640 but because he
00:22:59.280 didn't know
00:22:59.660 her little acronym,
00:23:00.600 she tried to make
00:23:01.160 him look stupid
00:23:01.860 like he is a dumbass
00:23:03.500 and she failed.
00:23:04.600 I mean,
00:23:05.320 it's one thing
00:23:06.320 if everybody
00:23:07.020 in the room
00:23:07.500 is like,
00:23:07.900 oh my God,
00:23:08.300 he doesn't know
00:23:08.700 what NATO is?
00:23:09.600 Holy shit.
00:23:10.700 Right?
00:23:11.160 Like,
00:23:12.000 I mean,
00:23:13.280 that's one thing,
00:23:14.660 but this,
00:23:16.040 where everybody's like,
00:23:17.240 what's that?
00:23:18.080 What did she say?
00:23:20.540 I think it's
00:23:20.860 pronounced ocean
00:23:21.720 or Asian.
00:23:23.680 What's she?
00:23:25.120 That's,
00:23:25.960 you tried
00:23:26.440 and you failed.
00:23:26.980 So,
00:23:28.200 she is my number
00:23:28.920 two,
00:23:29.640 most annoying
00:23:31.280 and irritating
00:23:32.440 senator from yesterday.
00:23:33.660 And then we get
00:23:34.480 to number one,
00:23:35.220 that's the sleeper
00:23:35.960 candidate I was
00:23:36.560 telling you about,
00:23:37.220 this,
00:23:38.160 Slotkin.
00:23:39.300 Okay,
00:23:39.820 now,
00:23:40.200 Slotkin
00:23:41.840 is,
00:23:43.520 if memory serves,
00:23:45.860 which I did look it up
00:23:47.520 and now I can't remember,
00:23:48.580 but I think
00:23:49.160 that she
00:23:50.820 may have gone
00:23:51.800 to Columbia.
00:23:53.940 She's got one
00:23:54.720 of these,
00:23:55.080 you know,
00:23:55.920 highfalutin
00:23:56.660 backgrounds
00:23:57.360 in education
00:23:58.460 and then she joined
00:24:00.160 the CIA.
00:24:01.240 Columbia,
00:24:01.840 yeah,
00:24:02.060 Columbia,
00:24:02.500 there you go,
00:24:02.940 that explains a lot.
00:24:04.300 And then she joined
00:24:05.220 the CIA
00:24:05.700 and now she's
00:24:07.760 a politician
00:24:08.320 out of Michigan.
00:24:09.220 So she starts off
00:24:10.160 by trying to like
00:24:11.000 bond with Pete.
00:24:12.680 Like,
00:24:13.040 I'm of the CIA.
00:24:15.440 I guess she was
00:24:16.620 fluent in like Farsi
00:24:17.920 and one other
00:24:18.840 relevant language,
00:24:20.320 maybe,
00:24:20.500 I can't remember
00:24:20.900 what it was.
00:24:22.120 And that's why
00:24:22.820 she got hired
00:24:23.260 by the CIA.
00:24:24.420 So,
00:24:24.940 in any event,
00:24:25.760 it's not the same.
00:24:26.440 I respect her service,
00:24:27.480 but it's really
00:24:27.840 not the same
00:24:28.360 as being on the
00:24:29.000 front lines,
00:24:29.580 being shot at,
00:24:30.320 but fine.
00:24:30.940 Okay.
00:24:31.460 So she's kind of
00:24:32.240 tries to put them
00:24:32.920 on par with each other.
00:24:34.220 Like,
00:24:34.380 we're both military
00:24:35.080 people,
00:24:35.620 so I completely
00:24:36.460 get it.
00:24:37.020 I get it.
00:24:37.520 And I,
00:24:37.720 trust me,
00:24:38.340 I believe you.
00:24:39.700 I believe you
00:24:40.380 that you care.
00:24:40.880 I believe you
00:24:42.020 that you care
00:24:43.200 about the troops.
00:24:44.220 Like,
00:24:44.680 genuinely,
00:24:45.360 I'm with you.
00:24:46.740 And like,
00:24:47.280 at first I was
00:24:47.900 a little fooled
00:24:48.700 by it.
00:24:49.520 And then as you
00:24:50.220 watched her over
00:24:50.820 the course of the
00:24:51.360 seven minutes,
00:24:52.280 you really just
00:24:52.980 kind of wanted
00:24:53.440 to punch her
00:24:53.940 in the face.
00:24:54.800 Don't punch her
00:24:55.400 in the face.
00:24:55.980 That's just an urge.
00:24:57.240 She brought up
00:24:58.080 rage inside of one.
00:25:00.680 That's the point
00:25:01.480 I'm trying to make
00:25:02.200 here,
00:25:02.540 because she was
00:25:03.720 just so nasty
00:25:06.500 and passive-aggressive
00:25:08.440 and kept slipping
00:25:09.760 in little deceptive
00:25:11.280 pieces of information.
00:25:12.780 We'll play you
00:25:13.160 the soundbite here.
00:25:14.240 Listen to the part
00:25:14.960 where,
00:25:15.440 in particular,
00:25:15.920 she tries to pretend
00:25:17.220 that Trump said
00:25:18.600 he was going
00:25:19.100 to unleash
00:25:19.860 the military
00:25:20.640 on his,
00:25:22.000 quote,
00:25:22.100 enemies within.
00:25:23.640 You know,
00:25:24.240 we've covered
00:25:24.620 that a lot
00:25:25.220 on this show.
00:25:25.900 That's not
00:25:26.460 what he said.
00:25:27.540 He was specifically
00:25:28.460 asked by Maria
00:25:29.440 Bartiromo
00:25:30.140 whether if there
00:25:31.980 were protests
00:25:32.800 around the election
00:25:34.200 that got violent,
00:25:35.560 what would he do?
00:25:36.920 And that,
00:25:37.440 in response to that,
00:25:38.220 he said,
00:25:39.160 you might have
00:25:39.680 to use the military
00:25:40.540 and refer to some
00:25:42.240 people as being
00:25:42.760 enemies from within.
00:25:43.920 But the left
00:25:44.440 has been conflating
00:25:46.060 these two terms
00:25:46.820 ever since
00:25:47.340 trying to say
00:25:47.780 Trump's going
00:25:48.180 to unleash
00:25:48.560 the U.S. military
00:25:49.620 on American citizens
00:25:51.120 who do not vote
00:25:52.360 for him.
00:25:52.960 So she slides
00:25:53.980 that in there.
00:25:55.240 She tries to
00:25:55.880 belittle Pete
00:25:56.820 as,
00:25:58.240 well,
00:25:58.460 you'll listen.
00:25:59.100 Watch.
00:26:00.280 You will be
00:26:01.220 the one man
00:26:01.960 standing in the breach
00:26:03.040 should President Trump
00:26:04.720 give an illegal order,
00:26:06.200 right?
00:26:06.460 I'm not saying he will,
00:26:07.680 but if he does,
00:26:08.780 you are going to be
00:26:09.660 the guy that he calls
00:26:10.980 to implement this order.
00:26:12.240 That President Trump
00:26:13.180 is going to be
00:26:13.620 giving illegal orders.
00:26:14.540 No,
00:26:14.720 I'm not saying he will,
00:26:15.600 but if,
00:26:16.200 do you believe
00:26:16.720 there is such a thing
00:26:17.560 as an illegal order
00:26:18.400 that Joe Biden
00:26:19.480 or any other president
00:26:20.760 Donald Trump could give?
00:26:22.340 Is there anything
00:26:23.040 that a commander-in-chief
00:26:24.220 could ask you to do
00:26:25.140 with the uniformed military
00:26:26.280 that would be in violation
00:26:28.080 of the U.S. Constitution?
00:26:29.680 Senator,
00:26:30.380 anybody of any party
00:26:31.960 could give an order
00:26:33.380 that is against
00:26:34.120 the Constitution
00:26:34.840 or against the law.
00:26:35.920 Right.
00:26:36.300 Okay,
00:26:36.600 so are you saying
00:26:38.320 that you would stand
00:26:39.220 in the breach
00:26:39.840 and push back
00:26:41.040 if you were given
00:26:41.660 an illegal order?
00:26:42.480 I start by saying
00:26:43.560 I reject the premise
00:26:44.400 that President Trump
00:26:45.120 will be giving
00:26:45.820 any illegal orders
00:26:47.520 at all.
00:26:48.860 This isn't a hypothetical.
00:26:50.220 He was asked
00:26:50.900 and did use
00:26:52.080 uniformed military
00:26:53.340 to clear
00:26:54.180 unarmed protesters.
00:26:55.900 He was given
00:26:56.340 the order
00:26:56.780 to potentially
00:26:57.760 shoot at them.
00:26:58.740 Helos flew low
00:26:59.960 in Washington, D.C.
00:27:01.060 as crowd control.
00:27:02.480 He later apologized
00:27:03.660 publicly
00:27:04.520 for those actions.
00:27:06.120 Was he right
00:27:06.700 or wrong
00:27:07.200 to apologize?
00:27:08.380 Senator,
00:27:08.620 I was there
00:27:09.240 on the ground.
00:27:09.960 I saw that.
00:27:10.940 I understand
00:27:11.640 and I respect that.
00:27:12.660 I've been there.
00:27:12.940 But you're about
00:27:13.560 to be the Secretary
00:27:15.160 of Defense.
00:27:15.820 that was involved
00:27:16.380 in that moment.
00:27:17.560 Was he right
00:27:18.140 to legality
00:27:19.520 and the Constitution
00:27:20.560 and the laws
00:27:22.100 of what you have?
00:27:22.800 to apologize.
00:27:24.100 I'm not going
00:27:24.500 to put words
00:27:25.300 in the mouth
00:27:25.760 of Secretary Esper
00:27:26.900 or anybody else.
00:27:27.800 He said them himself.
00:27:28.780 You don't have to.
00:27:29.340 What are you scared of?
00:27:30.800 Did he do
00:27:31.600 the right thing
00:27:32.440 by apologizing?
00:27:33.860 I'm not scared
00:27:34.900 of anything, Senator.
00:27:35.760 Then say yes or no.
00:27:36.720 You can say no.
00:27:37.540 President Trump
00:27:38.980 said in November
00:27:39.940 that he is willing
00:27:41.020 to consider using
00:27:41.940 the active duty military
00:27:43.280 against the, quote,
00:27:44.380 enemy within.
00:27:45.780 Have you been
00:27:46.560 personally involved
00:27:47.440 in discussions
00:27:48.100 of using the U.S. military
00:27:49.900 active duty
00:27:51.060 inside the United States?
00:27:53.660 Senator,
00:27:54.020 I'm fine.
00:27:54.620 I'm glad we finally
00:27:55.320 got to the topic
00:27:56.040 of border security
00:27:56.980 equaling national security
00:27:58.680 because it's been
00:27:59.360 abdicated and ignored
00:28:00.740 for the last four years.
00:28:01.820 That wasn't my question.
00:28:02.580 I'm just asking,
00:28:03.320 have you been involved?
00:28:04.460 You're about to be
00:28:05.080 the Secretary of Defense
00:28:06.160 potentially.
00:28:06.680 Have you been involved
00:28:08.160 in discussions
00:28:08.960 about using
00:28:09.640 the active duty military
00:28:11.060 inside the United States?
00:28:13.440 Senator,
00:28:14.240 I am not yet
00:28:15.180 the Secretary of Defense.
00:28:16.520 If confirmed,
00:28:17.500 I would be party
00:28:18.180 to any number of conversations.
00:28:19.660 So you haven't been
00:28:19.760 in any of these conversations?
00:28:20.780 Which I would not reveal
00:28:21.660 what I have discussed
00:28:23.600 with the President
00:28:24.120 of the United States or not.
00:28:24.580 No, no, just have you
00:28:25.220 been in conversations?
00:28:26.540 Do you support
00:28:27.640 the use of active duty military
00:28:29.220 in supporting detention camps?
00:28:31.400 Senator,
00:28:31.900 everything we will do
00:28:33.040 would be lawful
00:28:33.780 and under the Constitution,
00:28:34.700 but I recognize
00:28:35.700 that I'm going to take that
00:28:35.740 as a yes.
00:28:36.680 What are you scared of?
00:28:42.340 Oh, because you're
00:28:43.340 a big, bad,
00:28:44.300 I mean, big,
00:28:45.360 bad CIA agent
00:28:47.080 and you're so tough.
00:28:48.640 You're tougher than Pete.
00:28:49.880 Sure.
00:28:50.520 Who served his country
00:28:51.400 not just at Gitmo,
00:28:52.860 but in Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:28:54.880 You're a scaredy cat.
00:28:56.360 What are you so afraid of?
00:28:58.760 What a child.
00:29:00.900 What an absolute brat.
00:29:02.760 You know what?
00:29:04.400 She was Assistant Secretary,
00:29:05.940 like an Undersecretary
00:29:06.980 for Defense
00:29:07.580 under,
00:29:08.700 was it Obama or Biden?
00:29:11.380 And so she's bitter.
00:29:13.560 She's jealous.
00:29:14.500 She's never going
00:29:15.160 to get this role.
00:29:16.220 Sorry, sister.
00:29:18.040 Somebody who's your age
00:29:19.300 who actually took
00:29:20.720 even greater risks
00:29:21.680 than you did
00:29:22.280 is going to be recognized now
00:29:24.020 and is going to be running
00:29:25.000 the agency
00:29:25.540 that you were just
00:29:26.300 a lower part of.
00:29:27.140 I know you're going
00:29:28.220 to have to suck it up.
00:29:29.320 You can't blame it
00:29:30.040 on sexism under Obama.
00:29:31.720 You can't blame it
00:29:32.700 on racism.
00:29:34.560 It's just you weren't
00:29:35.600 good enough and he is.
00:29:37.220 So go ahead and vote no.
00:29:39.920 He's still getting in there
00:29:41.200 and you can do
00:29:42.260 your little histrionics
00:29:43.340 when he comes in
00:29:44.100 for his updates
00:29:45.160 as the Secretary of Defense,
00:29:46.780 but he's getting through
00:29:48.300 because somebody
00:29:49.460 who's not hysterical,
00:29:50.880 someone who does care
00:29:51.720 about women's issues,
00:29:52.940 someone who's fought
00:29:53.640 her entire career
00:29:54.560 to protect women
00:29:55.460 in the military,
00:29:56.180 Joni Ernst
00:29:57.700 is going to vote for him.
00:29:59.920 So you can suck it,
00:30:01.860 Madam Slotkin,
00:30:03.440 and enjoy what will
00:30:04.860 almost undoubtedly
00:30:05.840 be a short term
00:30:07.140 out of Michigan
00:30:08.180 because that district did.
00:30:09.660 She's right.
00:30:10.100 She said at the beginning,
00:30:10.860 go for both Trump
00:30:11.860 and for her.
00:30:13.040 But once they get a load
00:30:13.940 of these antics,
00:30:14.620 I just can't imagine
00:30:15.500 Michiganders are going to
00:30:16.600 stick in this woman's camp
00:30:18.220 for another vote.
00:30:19.920 We'll see.
00:30:20.500 Could be proven wrong.
00:30:21.500 Michigan's becoming more blue.
00:30:22.860 We'll find out.
00:30:24.120 Okay, so those are
00:30:25.020 my top contenders.
00:30:26.180 But overall,
00:30:27.500 the women at the hearing
00:30:28.280 embarrassed themselves
00:30:29.200 on the Dem side yesterday,
00:30:30.520 which has led to
00:30:31.820 all sorts of memes
00:30:32.880 showing Pete's face
00:30:34.200 in the middle on X
00:30:35.940 and all these nagging,
00:30:37.560 you know,
00:30:38.300 hens around him,
00:30:39.240 like,
00:30:39.360 nah, nah, nah, nah,
00:30:40.100 like all guys
00:30:41.060 who are like,
00:30:41.380 my God,
00:30:41.960 me when my wife,
00:30:43.920 when I won't let her
00:30:45.060 have the remote control
00:30:46.200 or when she,
00:30:47.220 all these things.
00:30:48.520 So here we put together
00:30:49.720 our own little montage
00:30:50.900 of the best hysterics
00:30:52.340 from yesterday.
00:30:53.200 I have many concerns
00:30:55.660 about your record
00:30:56.620 and particularly
00:30:57.680 your public statements
00:30:58.720 because they are so hurtful
00:31:02.040 to the men and women
00:31:03.020 who are currently
00:31:04.020 serving in the U.S. military.
00:31:05.800 Please explain
00:31:06.860 these types of statements
00:31:08.340 because they're brutal
00:31:09.300 and they're mean.
00:31:10.900 Everything you've said
00:31:11.840 in these public statements
00:31:12.700 is politics.
00:31:13.740 I don't want women.
00:31:14.660 I don't want moms.
00:31:15.540 What's wrong with a mom,
00:31:16.560 by the way?
00:31:16.960 That sounds to me
00:31:17.820 that you will comply
00:31:18.860 with such an order.
00:31:19.680 You will shoot protesters
00:31:20.720 in the legs.
00:31:21.820 That sounds to me
00:31:22.340 that you would contemplate
00:31:23.420 carrying out such an order
00:31:25.060 to basically invade Greenland.
00:31:27.080 Now,
00:31:27.280 I've heard of deathbed conversions,
00:31:29.600 but this is the first time
00:31:30.920 I've heard of a nomination conversion.
00:31:33.560 Have you led an audit
00:31:34.540 of any organization?
00:31:35.800 Yes or no?
00:31:36.620 I don't want a long answer.
00:31:37.640 Yes or no?
00:31:38.060 Yes or no?
00:31:38.940 Did you lead an audit?
00:31:39.740 Yes or no?
00:31:40.500 It's been completely mischaracterized.
00:31:41.080 What are you afraid of?
00:31:41.960 You can't answer this question?
00:31:43.420 Women who've earned
00:31:44.240 their place in their units,
00:31:45.200 you have not earned your place
00:31:47.120 as Secretary of Defense.
00:31:49.280 Okay.
00:31:50.480 The richest part of that
00:31:51.940 is Elizabeth Warren,
00:31:53.180 who is basically accusing Pete
00:31:55.880 of lying in his comments
00:31:57.660 about women
00:31:58.060 when he's trying to say
00:31:58.760 what I was saying
00:31:59.440 all these times.
00:32:00.180 He said,
00:32:00.640 I've never complained
00:32:01.460 about women in the military.
00:32:02.800 My complaint was about
00:32:04.000 women in combat
00:32:05.040 in certain roles
00:32:06.500 where we've lowered standards.
00:32:08.220 And they opened up
00:32:09.460 the cross-examination with him,
00:32:10.720 Elizabeth Warren did,
00:32:11.620 by referencing comments
00:32:13.140 Pete made in 2013
00:32:14.840 by the way,
00:32:16.100 I think it was on my show
00:32:17.460 about women in combat
00:32:19.620 and talking about how
00:32:20.800 we can't lower the standards
00:32:22.360 in order to facilitate it.
00:32:23.940 And Pete responded by saying,
00:32:25.180 I'm glad you brought up
00:32:25.920 my comments from 2013
00:32:26.860 pointing out that
00:32:27.760 for 12 years
00:32:29.040 I've been contextualizing that
00:32:30.620 usually
00:32:31.440 by pointing out
00:32:32.580 that I'm talking about standards.
00:32:34.160 And she wouldn't have it.
00:32:35.620 And what she was basically saying
00:32:36.780 there was she's like,
00:32:37.360 I've heard of deathbed conversions,
00:32:38.560 but I've never heard
00:32:39.080 of a nomination conversion
00:32:40.260 is that you're a liar,
00:32:41.640 Pete Hexeth.
00:32:42.180 You're lying,
00:32:43.060 you're just saying
00:32:43.580 whatever you need to say
00:32:44.440 to get a position
00:32:45.660 that you want.
00:32:46.960 And I will give it to her.
00:32:48.680 Chief Lieselot
00:32:49.520 is an expert
00:32:50.240 in this particular subject matter.
00:32:52.560 Remember Chief Lieselot
00:32:53.800 who tried to get ahead
00:32:55.080 at Harvard and elsewhere
00:32:56.340 by saying she was Indian
00:32:57.440 when she's not.
00:32:58.500 And then when caught,
00:32:59.580 she defaulted to,
00:33:01.120 well, my ma-ma
00:33:02.080 and my pa-pa
00:33:02.920 told me that
00:33:03.880 my high cheekbones
00:33:04.820 meant I'm an Indian.
00:33:06.520 Okay.
00:33:07.040 For the record,
00:33:08.460 maybe you can see them
00:33:09.780 if you're watching this
00:33:10.420 on YouTube.
00:33:10.700 I actually kind of
00:33:12.020 have high cheekbones.
00:33:13.120 I do.
00:33:13.660 Yeah, it's great.
00:33:14.620 I've never had anything
00:33:15.480 injected in them.
00:33:16.360 This is all God-given.
00:33:17.820 And I don't think
00:33:19.140 I'm Native American.
00:33:19.960 I've never had the test.
00:33:21.640 Chief Lieselot,
00:33:22.420 but I don't,
00:33:23.120 if somebody told me
00:33:23.900 I were Native American
00:33:24.720 because I have high cheekbones,
00:33:26.120 I think I'd check it out
00:33:27.540 before I started telling people
00:33:28.860 at universities
00:33:29.540 that I was
00:33:30.920 so I could get tenure
00:33:32.100 or hired
00:33:33.240 or any sort of advancement.
00:33:35.320 And then I'd probably
00:33:36.560 be a little reluctant
00:33:37.540 to start lecturing
00:33:38.720 other people
00:33:39.400 about honesty.
00:33:43.280 Can you believe
00:33:44.380 the ma-ma-ma,
00:33:45.760 the pa-pa?
00:33:47.280 Okay.
00:33:48.100 She's,
00:33:48.640 she's basically,
00:33:49.700 she's a Cherokee.
00:33:50.520 She's a little Cherokee.
00:33:52.000 But no.
00:33:54.720 Okay.
00:33:55.440 Let's move on
00:33:56.100 to the media.
00:33:57.460 You've got
00:33:58.400 these absolutely smug,
00:34:00.820 again,
00:34:01.220 like Slotkin,
00:34:02.500 like snide,
00:34:05.500 over-educated,
00:34:06.800 elite libs
00:34:09.600 who are just sliding
00:34:11.440 in the dagger
00:34:12.060 on Pete
00:34:12.780 in a way that,
00:34:13.780 you know,
00:34:14.060 I'm just an elite
00:34:15.100 know-everything.
00:34:16.220 And so,
00:34:16.740 I can tell you
00:34:17.700 he's an idiot.
00:34:20.040 You know,
00:34:20.300 I totally respect your service.
00:34:21.400 I believe you care.
00:34:23.020 But what are you
00:34:23.540 so afraid of?
00:34:24.520 That was Slotkin.
00:34:26.220 But now here's a woman
00:34:27.480 named Catherine Rampel.
00:34:29.200 And we looked up Slotkin.
00:34:30.360 She went to
00:34:31.120 Columbia and Cornell.
00:34:33.380 But now here comes
00:34:34.460 this woman,
00:34:34.840 and I'm going to let you know
00:34:35.440 who she is.
00:34:35.840 Her name is Catherine Rampel.
00:34:36.800 She's on one of those
00:34:37.820 insufferable CNN panels
00:34:39.800 with the terrible
00:34:41.080 Abby Phillip,
00:34:42.140 who again is like
00:34:43.540 mild-mannered,
00:34:45.460 but has never seen
00:34:46.720 a Republican
00:34:47.260 who's done the right thing.
00:34:49.360 I just want to take control
00:34:50.780 to say
00:34:51.620 that Republicans
00:34:52.720 are bad.
00:34:54.240 They're even worse
00:34:55.080 than you thought.
00:34:56.460 That's Abby Phillip.
00:34:57.660 So she's running the panel.
00:34:58.680 Catherine Rampel comes on.
00:35:00.160 And you would think
00:35:01.300 that Catherine Rampel
00:35:02.200 would know a thing or two
00:35:03.360 about Pete
00:35:04.040 and his background
00:35:04.600 because I looked her up too.
00:35:06.280 And guess what she has
00:35:07.680 for her educational background?
00:35:09.400 Well,
00:35:10.000 she has a bachelor's
00:35:11.060 from Princeton.
00:35:12.340 Princeton.
00:35:12.960 Hmm,
00:35:13.200 how do we know that school
00:35:14.600 in connection with this story?
00:35:15.940 Oh yeah,
00:35:16.580 Pete went there.
00:35:17.780 And unlike Catherine Rampel,
00:35:20.280 both of whose parents
00:35:21.680 went to Princeton,
00:35:23.160 which,
00:35:23.780 newsflash,
00:35:24.560 makes it a lot easier
00:35:25.740 to get into Princeton,
00:35:27.120 that wasn't the case
00:35:28.200 for Pete.
00:35:29.220 So,
00:35:29.940 she goes out on to,
00:35:31.240 oh and by the way,
00:35:31.640 her major was anthropology.
00:35:32.560 Where,
00:35:33.100 okay,
00:35:33.240 I'm sure she learned a lot.
00:35:34.240 That would qualify her
00:35:34.940 to be opining
00:35:35.480 on the sec of defense
00:35:36.900 or not.
00:35:38.580 But in any event,
00:35:39.300 CNN thought she'd be
00:35:40.080 an adequate commentator.
00:35:41.600 Why?
00:35:41.900 Because of her long history
00:35:42.860 in military?
00:35:43.420 No,
00:35:44.100 she has absolutely nothing
00:35:45.000 to do with the military,
00:35:45.940 the Pentagon,
00:35:46.460 et cetera.
00:35:47.060 In fact,
00:35:47.380 before she was at
00:35:48.060 the Washington Post,
00:35:49.560 she was at the New York Times
00:35:50.880 as a theater critic.
00:35:53.540 But here she is
00:35:54.840 telling us why Pete
00:35:56.280 was chosen for this job.
00:35:58.360 Yes,
00:36:00.120 he was very articulate
00:36:01.080 and polished
00:36:02.380 and he's a TV host.
00:36:04.160 That's his main qualification.
00:36:05.860 I know in TV
00:36:06.580 we sometimes get confused.
00:36:07.820 Why do you denigrate
00:36:08.660 this man's service?
00:36:09.620 I don't understand.
00:36:10.260 20 years,
00:36:11.060 decorated,
00:36:12.300 an Ivy leaguer.
00:36:13.780 He's a TV host.
00:36:14.880 That's all he is.
00:36:15.860 Wait a second.
00:36:16.660 Why are we denigrating
00:36:17.260 TV hosts?
00:36:18.720 I like TV hosts.
00:36:20.780 It is his name.
00:36:21.500 You're denigrating
00:36:22.320 this man's service.
00:36:23.200 I don't get it.
00:36:23.720 Not every member
00:36:24.800 who serves
00:36:25.500 deserves to be
00:36:26.860 in charge of the DOD.
00:36:28.560 She said his main qualification
00:36:30.060 is that he's a TV host
00:36:31.480 and I'm sorry,
00:36:31.980 that's just baloney.
00:36:32.880 Do you think he wanted
00:36:34.080 to show you some other way?
00:36:35.060 His main qualification
00:36:35.240 is that he's a warfighter
00:36:36.480 and he's going to be
00:36:37.180 the closest warfighter
00:36:38.180 we've ever had
00:36:38.940 to the enlisted people
00:36:40.040 running the Pentagon.
00:36:42.440 In the longer clip
00:36:43.500 then,
00:36:43.720 Abby Phillip comes in
00:36:44.660 and says,
00:36:46.080 you shouldn't denigrate
00:36:47.780 the service
00:36:48.580 of the generals
00:36:49.760 who have been
00:36:50.680 at the top
00:36:51.400 of the Defense Department
00:36:52.520 before
00:36:53.620 by saying that
00:36:55.020 Scott Jennings.
00:36:56.100 Scott Jennings is like,
00:36:56.880 how am I denigrating
00:36:57.960 them by saying
00:36:59.260 he is closer
00:37:00.660 to the enlisted men
00:37:01.880 than anybody
00:37:02.500 who's ever held
00:37:02.980 this position?
00:37:03.740 But that's Abby Phillip.
00:37:04.700 There cannot be
00:37:05.660 a discussion
00:37:06.100 that doesn't wind
00:37:07.100 in her fake
00:37:08.180 fact-checking
00:37:09.260 with hard-left spin.
00:37:13.220 Signed,
00:37:13.980 Abby Phillip.
00:37:16.360 Back to this woman,
00:37:17.940 Catherine Rampell.
00:37:18.860 All right,
00:37:19.120 so she,
00:37:20.800 the theater critic,
00:37:21.920 would like us
00:37:22.560 to know
00:37:22.820 to know
00:37:22.840 that the only reason,
00:37:24.300 the reason,
00:37:24.980 the main qualification,
00:37:26.480 those were her words,
00:37:27.720 for Pete
00:37:28.240 to have been nominated
00:37:28.960 is because he's
00:37:30.100 a TV host.
00:37:31.720 So Scott Jennings
00:37:33.100 says,
00:37:33.660 why do you denigrate
00:37:34.440 his service?
00:37:35.060 Then comes Abby Phillip.
00:37:36.580 She didn't do that.
00:37:38.540 Okay,
00:37:38.820 how is it not
00:37:39.700 denigrating
00:37:40.220 his tours
00:37:42.100 in Iraq,
00:37:43.340 Afghanistan,
00:37:44.200 and Gitmo,
00:37:44.860 the vast majority
00:37:45.680 of his adult life,
00:37:46.840 by saying
00:37:47.680 his main qualification
00:37:49.100 for this job
00:37:49.860 was his stint
00:37:50.880 on Fox & Friends.
00:37:52.380 Fuck you,
00:37:53.080 Catherine Rampell,
00:37:53.860 because that is
00:37:54.400 denigrating his service.
00:37:55.640 His service
00:37:56.160 is the reason
00:37:56.860 he got the job.
00:37:58.060 I guarantee you
00:37:58.900 Trump is more familiar
00:38:00.440 with Brian Kilmeade
00:38:01.940 than he is
00:38:02.700 with Pete Hegseth.
00:38:03.480 I guarantee you
00:38:04.600 he's been watching
00:38:05.460 Brian Kilmeade
00:38:06.220 for longer,
00:38:07.360 has probably called
00:38:08.280 and texted
00:38:08.760 Brian Kilmeade
00:38:09.560 over the years
00:38:10.580 longer,
00:38:11.900 and knows him
00:38:12.500 a lot better.
00:38:13.480 But he did not
00:38:14.060 nominate Brian Kilmeade
00:38:15.380 because he wasn't
00:38:16.360 just looking
00:38:17.000 for a Fox & Friends
00:38:18.520 morning host
00:38:19.400 to run
00:38:20.300 the Pentagon.
00:38:21.760 It's Pete's
00:38:22.320 lifetime of service
00:38:23.700 while in
00:38:25.640 the armed services
00:38:27.300 and afterward
00:38:28.440 working for veterans
00:38:29.980 that got him
00:38:30.920 this job.
00:38:31.380 And perhaps Trump
00:38:32.080 wouldn't know about him
00:38:33.380 if he hadn't gotten
00:38:34.280 a job on Fox,
00:38:35.360 but that's what
00:38:36.320 opened the door,
00:38:37.160 not what got him
00:38:37.700 the job.
00:38:38.120 You're so disrespectful
00:38:39.180 and disgusting,
00:38:40.060 but that is what
00:38:41.380 the elite thinks
00:38:42.860 of our military
00:38:44.340 and certainly
00:38:45.300 of any Trump supporter.
00:38:46.720 Never mind,
00:38:47.060 people are going
00:38:47.400 to wind up
00:38:47.680 in the cabinet.
00:38:48.100 It's absolutely
00:38:50.080 disgusting.
00:38:51.520 And this is what
00:38:52.080 Pete and Trump
00:38:53.140 and Pam Bondi,
00:38:54.420 who we'll get to,
00:38:54.980 she's on the hot seat
00:38:55.660 right now,
00:38:56.080 I've got some stuff
00:38:56.640 on her,
00:38:57.200 are going to be facing
00:38:58.480 when they take over,
00:38:59.760 that they're the chewing gum
00:39:01.560 underneath the sneaker
00:39:02.940 and they don't,
00:39:05.000 they're too stupid
00:39:06.060 and scared
00:39:07.260 to really understand
00:39:08.660 how things
00:39:09.240 ought to be run.
00:39:11.080 Just ask
00:39:12.180 Abby Phillip.
00:39:13.520 She will tell you
00:39:15.440 why he doesn't belong there
00:39:19.460 and the other people do.
00:39:22.760 Okay, moving on.
00:39:25.500 Who am I reminding myself of?
00:39:27.300 Is it a Peanuts character?
00:39:28.740 I just thought that'll,
00:39:30.640 I'll think about it
00:39:31.880 and you guys will think about it
00:39:32.900 and you'll tell me.
00:39:34.500 It's Megan
00:39:35.240 at MeganKelley.com.
00:39:36.860 Okay, speaking of Fox,
00:39:39.560 I know when you were
00:39:41.480 gearing up for this
00:39:42.360 confirmation hearing of Pete,
00:39:43.400 which is truly one of the most,
00:39:44.700 if not the most,
00:39:45.380 consequential of the Trump picks.
00:39:48.000 What you were asking yourself,
00:39:49.380 same as me,
00:39:50.340 was what,
00:39:51.500 what does Gretchen Carlson think?
00:39:53.640 Gee, I really wonder who,
00:39:57.440 but PBS
00:39:58.340 decides that Gretchen Carlson's opinion
00:40:01.960 would be really important
00:40:03.080 to get right now
00:40:04.000 and this was her take.
00:40:08.380 There's some initial concern
00:40:10.180 from Republican senators
00:40:11.300 about these allegations
00:40:12.640 against Hegseth.
00:40:13.760 It seems as though
00:40:15.160 many are prepared
00:40:16.140 to vote
00:40:17.000 to confirm him.
00:40:18.820 What does it say
00:40:19.600 that an allegation
00:40:20.660 of sexual assault
00:40:21.980 does not appear
00:40:23.080 to be disqualifying?
00:40:24.820 It says the power
00:40:25.760 of Donald Trump.
00:40:27.200 That's the first thing
00:40:28.680 that I would mention.
00:40:30.300 But it also is frustrating
00:40:31.720 for those of us
00:40:32.600 who work
00:40:33.020 in this advocacy space
00:40:34.540 to see that
00:40:36.400 even,
00:40:37.100 you know,
00:40:37.880 allegations of drinking too much
00:40:39.760 or mismanaging
00:40:40.960 other nonprofits
00:40:42.060 that Hegseth ran,
00:40:44.060 that those seem to climb
00:40:45.380 to the top of the list
00:40:46.440 ahead of any kind
00:40:47.440 of a sexual assault
00:40:48.380 or sexual harassment claim.
00:40:52.400 Okay.
00:40:53.540 He's not been accused
00:40:54.800 of sexually harassing anybody.
00:40:56.040 Did that come up yesterday?
00:40:59.840 No.
00:41:00.340 The best they had
00:41:01.040 was somebody
00:41:02.220 at one of those
00:41:03.260 veterans charities
00:41:04.140 may have allegedly
00:41:05.960 harassed somebody
00:41:07.400 at a strip club trip
00:41:08.720 that Pete wasn't
00:41:09.720 present for.
00:41:11.320 And I believe
00:41:12.440 it was Sean Parnell
00:41:13.200 who was present
00:41:14.300 and came out
00:41:14.900 on the record
00:41:15.280 saying Pete wasn't there.
00:41:16.960 He was not there.
00:41:18.500 So what are you talking
00:41:19.800 about, Gretchen Carlson?
00:41:20.640 You can only be talking
00:41:21.420 about one thing,
00:41:22.380 and that is the
00:41:23.200 alleged rape accusation.
00:41:24.800 Did you go through
00:41:25.620 the report line by line?
00:41:27.460 Because you know
00:41:28.580 as well as I do,
00:41:29.740 you know better
00:41:30.800 than anyone
00:41:31.680 that I will stand up
00:41:33.680 for women,
00:41:34.600 even those I can't stand,
00:41:37.180 if I think they've made
00:41:38.420 a valid allegation.
00:41:40.140 You know that better
00:41:41.540 than anyone.
00:41:44.540 And I spent a day
00:41:46.880 going through
00:41:48.040 that woman's police report
00:41:50.120 line by line.
00:41:52.320 And I'm telling you,
00:41:55.420 that woman's not
00:41:56.120 telling the truth.
00:41:57.200 That's my strong
00:41:58.140 legal and journalistic
00:42:00.540 opinion.
00:42:01.520 And I've gone through
00:42:02.640 it episodes and episodes
00:42:03.820 ago in great detail
00:42:05.540 to explain why.
00:42:06.200 Have you?
00:42:07.620 How dare you get out
00:42:09.000 there and wonder
00:42:10.780 why this fake,
00:42:12.740 clearly fake
00:42:13.560 allegation
00:42:14.260 is not disqualifying
00:42:16.560 for him?
00:42:17.880 Get talking about it.
00:42:19.480 What have you looked at?
00:42:20.480 When was she drugged,
00:42:22.740 Gretchen?
00:42:23.860 She was fine at 1.30
00:42:25.160 in the morning.
00:42:25.580 She was fined at 4 a.m.,
00:42:26.960 according to three eyewitnesses,
00:42:28.960 two videos,
00:42:29.700 and her husband
00:42:30.380 on the back end.
00:42:31.440 Are those not reliable
00:42:32.380 for you?
00:42:32.940 This is not Pete Hegseth's
00:42:34.180 word.
00:42:34.760 It's independent eye
00:42:35.880 and videotape witnesses
00:42:36.860 and her marital partner
00:42:38.400 saying she was fine,
00:42:40.200 not drugged.
00:42:41.460 When did Pete
00:42:42.380 date rape drug her
00:42:44.300 and then rape her?
00:42:45.280 It is an impossibility,
00:42:47.300 which is why
00:42:47.880 he was not charged.
00:42:49.200 So shame on you.
00:42:51.240 Shame on you
00:42:52.100 for using the money
00:42:53.040 you managed to extract
00:42:54.520 out of Fox News
00:42:55.360 for this nonsense
00:42:56.680 to try to push
00:42:58.040 these bullshit claims
00:42:59.200 because you want to see
00:43:00.500 your face on television.
00:43:01.960 And by the way,
00:43:03.040 when you do a Zoom,
00:43:04.620 don't go right in front
00:43:05.540 of the laptop
00:43:06.040 because it makes
00:43:07.120 your face look huge.
00:43:08.440 That's advice to Gretchen
00:43:09.320 and everybody else
00:43:09.980 for that matter.
00:43:10.940 I just,
00:43:11.800 I find that
00:43:12.640 absolutely abhorrent.
00:43:15.200 And just for the record,
00:43:16.880 okay,
00:43:17.080 just for the record,
00:43:18.080 because I mentioned it,
00:43:20.080 and that whole Fox News thing,
00:43:21.500 just as a point
00:43:22.060 of clarification,
00:43:23.100 when I came forward
00:43:24.480 to talk about
00:43:25.120 what happened
00:43:25.600 between Roger
00:43:26.580 and yours truly,
00:43:27.880 it was not because
00:43:28.980 I believed Gretchen Carlson.
00:43:31.920 It was not because
00:43:32.860 I believed for one minute
00:43:34.380 that she had been harassed.
00:43:36.400 Not for one minute.
00:43:38.400 It was because
00:43:39.480 I was worried
00:43:40.380 others might be.
00:43:41.840 because she laid
00:43:43.500 the allegation
00:43:44.140 that he might be
00:43:44.920 this thing on the table.
00:43:46.820 But I don't believe
00:43:47.720 that's why Gretchen
00:43:48.320 lost her job
00:43:49.000 for one second.
00:43:50.760 Not for one second.
00:43:53.740 She laid the allegation
00:43:55.100 out there
00:43:55.360 and finally the company
00:43:56.400 was getting ready
00:43:57.160 to look into it.
00:43:58.180 And in the wake of that,
00:44:00.080 women started speaking up
00:44:01.640 about what was happening
00:44:02.580 to them.
00:44:02.980 So I just want to be clear
00:44:05.720 that it wasn't
00:44:06.960 her particular circumstances
00:44:08.560 that inspired me
00:44:10.020 or I think most people
00:44:11.100 over there
00:44:11.460 to do anything.
00:44:13.280 How dare she come out
00:44:14.520 and try to disparage him
00:44:15.620 this way?
00:44:16.520 Someone who'd been
00:44:17.240 a colleague of hers
00:44:18.420 for quite some time.
00:44:19.440 And I guarantee
00:44:19.860 she never saw him drunk.
00:44:22.120 And if she says she did,
00:44:23.060 it's not true.
00:44:23.780 All of his Fox and Friends
00:44:24.920 co-hosts have said
00:44:26.480 never, never, ever.
00:44:28.760 And we spent hours
00:44:29.480 upon hours with him.
00:44:31.140 Right?
00:44:31.320 I mean,
00:44:31.460 all of the on the record
00:44:33.580 character defenses of Pete
00:44:35.600 have been under
00:44:36.540 people's actual names,
00:44:38.060 stars that you would know.
00:44:39.260 All the Fox and Friends
00:44:40.180 morning crew,
00:44:41.160 all the scurrilous allegations
00:44:42.960 have been anonymous
00:44:44.160 and behind the scenes.
00:44:45.360 Too much time on her.
00:44:46.400 She's irrelevant.
00:44:48.200 Jimmy Kimmel
00:44:49.060 had his own little meltdown
00:44:51.240 about the situation.
00:44:52.220 Watch here.
00:44:53.880 The main event
00:44:54.880 in Washington today
00:44:55.640 was the confirmation hearing
00:44:57.100 of Trump's nominee
00:44:58.120 for Secretary of Defense,
00:44:59.920 former weekend Fox
00:45:01.100 and Friends co-host
00:45:02.020 Pete Hegseth.
00:45:03.060 The hearing started
00:45:03.940 at 9.30 this morning,
00:45:05.960 or as Pete calls it,
00:45:06.840 happy hour.
00:45:07.900 Hegseth was hammered
00:45:09.760 by Democrats
00:45:10.660 on the Senate
00:45:11.360 Armed Services Committee
00:45:12.460 who argued that
00:45:13.460 he should be disqualified
00:45:14.340 based on accounts
00:45:15.160 of excessive drinking,
00:45:16.600 allegations of sexual
00:45:17.620 misconduct,
00:45:18.480 which are two of the
00:45:19.520 qualities Trump
00:45:20.320 looks for
00:45:21.480 in a nominee.
00:45:24.360 Ha, ha, ha.
00:45:26.400 That's hilarious.
00:45:28.340 So funny.
00:45:28.940 I mean,
00:45:29.440 I don't remember him
00:45:30.460 making jokes
00:45:31.160 about Kamala's boozing,
00:45:32.720 which was pretty obvious,
00:45:34.620 both before
00:45:35.140 and after she lost.
00:45:36.240 Is that a funny joke?
00:45:38.040 I'd love to see
00:45:38.920 all the funny jokes
00:45:39.940 about what her administration
00:45:40.960 would look like.
00:45:42.420 Is that going to be
00:45:43.160 surrounded by boozers
00:45:43.860 so she looks like
00:45:44.460 the sober one?
00:45:45.320 Jimmy?
00:45:47.740 And again,
00:45:48.640 like,
00:45:48.860 it's just so fun
00:45:49.680 to just sort of
00:45:50.260 pretend that,
00:45:51.600 ha, ha,
00:45:52.120 like,
00:45:52.500 he's a rapist.
00:45:53.380 Like,
00:45:53.660 somehow,
00:45:53.920 ha, ha, ha.
00:45:54.380 Like,
00:45:55.360 it's super fun
00:45:56.840 to rip on Pete Hegseth
00:45:58.340 as though,
00:45:59.660 yeah,
00:45:59.920 we love serial harassers.
00:46:01.040 That's not what's been
00:46:01.980 alleged against Pete Hegseth.
00:46:03.720 Sorry to burst your bubble.
00:46:06.280 You know,
00:46:06.740 there was a day and age
00:46:07.860 in which you'd be
00:46:08.800 more careful about that thing
00:46:10.300 because you would be worried
00:46:11.420 about getting sued.
00:46:13.180 And Trump is trying
00:46:14.020 to bring that day back
00:46:15.020 and the media's having
00:46:16.300 a meltdown over it,
00:46:17.180 right?
00:46:17.300 They don't like it.
00:46:18.160 Oh,
00:46:18.440 you're going to chill
00:46:18.900 free speech.
00:46:19.560 Oh,
00:46:19.760 I'm going to chill
00:46:20.360 defamatory speech,
00:46:21.540 right?
00:46:22.280 Like,
00:46:22.460 that's what I'm going
00:46:23.760 to try to chill.
00:46:25.340 Um,
00:46:26.060 he's not worried.
00:46:27.060 Pete's got better
00:46:27.620 things to do.
00:46:28.300 And yeah,
00:46:29.100 he's probably,
00:46:29.920 he's probably not going
00:46:31.060 to,
00:46:31.480 um,
00:46:33.160 to sue Jimmy Kimmel.
00:46:34.400 Here's another one
00:46:35.320 with him
00:46:35.940 where Kimmel's out there
00:46:38.040 with this little bit
00:46:39.720 about what Trump
00:46:40.900 is allegedly saying
00:46:41.960 about the L.A.
00:46:42.720 firefighters.
00:46:43.880 Equally untrue
00:46:44.920 and just out of nowhere.
00:46:46.960 Listen here.
00:46:47.540 It's,
00:46:47.740 it's Sot 17.
00:46:48.520 I don't want to
00:46:49.700 get into all the vile
00:46:52.440 and irresponsible
00:46:53.260 and stupid things
00:46:54.320 our alleged future
00:46:55.240 president
00:46:55.700 and his gaggle
00:46:56.680 of scumbags
00:46:57.440 chose to say
00:46:58.280 during our darkest
00:46:59.640 and most terrifying
00:47:00.660 hour.
00:47:01.320 The fact that they
00:47:02.040 chose to attack
00:47:02.840 our firefighters
00:47:04.100 who apparently
00:47:04.940 aren't white enough
00:47:05.860 to be out there
00:47:06.560 risking their lives
00:47:07.420 on our behalf
00:47:08.220 is,
00:47:08.700 it's disgusting,
00:47:09.920 but it's not surprising.
00:47:11.420 Instead,
00:47:11.740 I want to focus
00:47:12.320 on thanking
00:47:13.040 those men and women.
00:47:14.480 Oh my God.
00:47:20.300 They're not white enough
00:47:22.120 to be out there
00:47:23.160 fighting our fires
00:47:24.380 per Trump.
00:47:26.940 What a lie.
00:47:28.540 What a disgusting lie.
00:47:30.480 I haven't heard Trump
00:47:31.820 made any remarks
00:47:32.660 about race
00:47:33.560 and the firefighters.
00:47:34.760 However,
00:47:35.800 what the right
00:47:37.140 has been objecting to
00:47:38.480 in the wake
00:47:39.020 of the devastation
00:47:39.760 in Los Angeles
00:47:40.440 is the obsessive
00:47:42.240 focus
00:47:42.820 by Democrats
00:47:44.020 running that state,
00:47:45.980 that city,
00:47:46.720 and that fire
00:47:47.660 department
00:47:48.140 on race.
00:47:49.760 Their obsessive
00:47:50.880 focus
00:47:51.540 on race.
00:47:52.740 They're the ones
00:47:53.520 who care about
00:47:54.420 the skin color
00:47:54.940 of the firefighters.
00:47:56.160 His team.
00:47:58.560 This is not
00:47:59.360 a Trump thing.
00:48:00.900 People on
00:48:01.480 our side of the aisle
00:48:02.380 have been saying
00:48:03.000 that's ridiculous.
00:48:04.540 Why are you
00:48:05.220 focused
00:48:05.760 on the race
00:48:07.240 of the firefighters?
00:48:08.360 Why are there
00:48:09.200 10 million articles
00:48:10.340 and hits
00:48:11.360 and social media
00:48:12.200 posts about how
00:48:13.580 L.A. had a problem
00:48:15.180 of white firefighters
00:48:17.340 that they're trying
00:48:18.400 to solve?
00:48:19.580 Could you see that?
00:48:20.380 He spins the 180.
00:48:22.000 Trump and conservatives
00:48:23.180 say the fire department
00:48:24.080 is not white enough.
00:48:25.440 What?
00:48:26.780 That's exactly
00:48:27.360 the opposite
00:48:28.040 of what happened.
00:48:29.040 Everybody over here
00:48:29.900 said,
00:48:30.460 could we just have
00:48:30.940 standards
00:48:31.440 that everybody passes?
00:48:33.400 By the way,
00:48:34.060 it's not really
00:48:34.400 a race thing.
00:48:35.000 It's a male-female thing
00:48:36.260 for the people
00:48:37.600 on the right
00:48:37.940 objecting to this.
00:48:38.840 Just make sure
00:48:39.480 it's like the military.
00:48:40.580 We have nothing
00:48:41.240 against women.
00:48:42.060 We have nothing
00:48:42.420 against moms,
00:48:43.120 by the way,
00:48:43.460 but does anybody
00:48:44.020 really think
00:48:44.480 a nine-month
00:48:44.920 pregnant mother
00:48:45.420 should be in combat?
00:48:46.640 You need to have
00:48:47.360 your head fucking
00:48:47.900 examined if you think
00:48:48.680 that's a good idea.
00:48:51.520 It's about standards.
00:48:53.140 That's it.
00:48:54.020 It's the left
00:48:54.820 that somehow thinks
00:48:55.800 skin color
00:48:56.960 should matter,
00:48:58.080 whether you're
00:48:59.120 fighting a fire
00:49:00.240 or in the military
00:49:03.780 or playing the cello.
00:49:06.160 Remember?
00:49:06.560 Heather McDonald's
00:49:07.420 been talking about
00:49:07.880 how in these orchestras,
00:49:09.300 they always had,
00:49:10.320 from the beginning of time,
00:49:11.460 they've had blind auditions
00:49:12.560 in the top orchestras
00:49:13.460 where you go behind a curtain,
00:49:14.640 nobody can see you.
00:49:15.400 They don't know
00:49:15.640 if you're male,
00:49:16.100 they don't know
00:49:16.360 if you're female,
00:49:16.860 they don't know
00:49:17.120 if you're black,
00:49:17.600 you're white,
00:49:17.900 you're Hispanic,
00:49:18.360 anything.
00:49:19.000 And if you rock the audition,
00:49:20.300 you're in the band,
00:49:21.200 the orchestra.
00:49:22.020 Well, now,
00:49:22.720 post-George Floyd,
00:49:23.500 they're getting rid
00:49:23.900 of the drape.
00:49:25.660 They want you to see
00:49:26.580 the skin color
00:49:27.220 because equity
00:49:28.080 or see that it's a woman
00:49:29.320 because equity.
00:49:30.900 It's ridiculous.
00:49:32.120 It's his team
00:49:32.980 doing that,
00:49:33.840 not Trump.
00:49:34.880 Trump is the antidote
00:49:36.020 to that nonsense.
00:49:37.620 So, okay,
00:49:38.740 our media today,
00:49:40.160 ladies and gentlemen,
00:49:40.740 you're not surprised.
00:49:41.820 All right,
00:49:42.020 when we come back,
00:49:42.900 we're going to get into
00:49:43.820 Victor Davis Hanson
00:49:44.880 and what he thinks
00:49:45.600 about the Hegseth hearing
00:49:47.360 and we're going to get into
00:49:48.340 what they're doing
00:49:48.760 to Pam Bondi this morning.
00:49:50.420 Now,
00:49:50.540 Pam Bondi's getting through.
00:49:52.920 There's no similar doubts
00:49:54.320 being expressed
00:49:55.280 by any Republican
00:49:56.140 about Pam Bondi
00:49:57.160 as Attorney General.
00:49:59.000 Kristi Noem
00:49:59.400 was also supposed
00:49:59.940 to go today,
00:50:00.720 but there's been a delay
00:50:01.520 for DHS.
00:50:03.780 But I'll show you
00:50:04.460 what they're doing
00:50:04.820 to Pam Bondi.
00:50:05.760 In sum,
00:50:06.560 they're taking
00:50:07.080 all of the election
00:50:08.760 denialism by Trump
00:50:10.360 and putting it on her
00:50:12.280 and trying to make her disavow.
00:50:14.260 I mean,
00:50:14.540 they're spending
00:50:15.380 minute after minute
00:50:16.940 on whether Trump
00:50:18.200 lost the 2020 election.
00:50:19.720 Meanwhile,
00:50:20.020 she is there
00:50:20.720 being confirmed as AG
00:50:22.340 because Trump won
00:50:23.420 the 2024 election.
00:50:24.520 So can we please
00:50:26.260 think about the American people
00:50:27.800 and what's important
00:50:28.540 to them at this point?
00:50:29.200 We've litigated this enough.

00:51:37.140 Joining me now,
00:51:38.120 Victor Davis Hanson,
00:51:39.420 senior fellow
00:51:39.900 at the Hoover Institution
00:51:40.840 and author of
00:51:41.660 The End of Everything,
00:51:43.660 How Wars Descend
00:51:44.800 into Annihilation.
00:51:46.620 So, Victor,
00:51:47.320 great to see you.
00:51:47.960 We'll get to,
00:51:48.900 in one second,
00:51:49.640 what they're doing
00:51:50.020 to Pam Bondi this morning.
00:51:51.280 She's crushing it.
00:51:51.940 She's doing very,
00:51:52.780 very well.
00:51:53.440 But let me just get
00:51:54.140 your take first
00:51:54.920 on what they tried
00:51:56.100 to do to Pete Hegseth
00:51:57.200 yesterday.
00:51:59.400 Well,
00:51:59.900 that was a gift.
00:52:00.740 I mean,
00:52:01.240 you would think
00:52:03.080 they'd be quiet
00:52:03.940 given all
00:52:04.760 what's happened,
00:52:06.060 the election
00:52:06.700 and what's going on
00:52:08.020 in Los Angeles,
00:52:08.880 this confederacy
00:52:09.940 of dunces.
00:52:11.200 And yet,
00:52:12.100 they never learn.
00:52:12.920 They decide
00:52:13.320 they're going to make
00:52:13.860 a big show
00:52:14.640 and then they'd
00:52:15.900 embarrass themselves
00:52:16.760 with these crazy questions.
00:52:18.320 And it just,
00:52:19.080 he was calm.
00:52:20.640 He answered the questions.
00:52:22.200 He was funny.
00:52:23.940 They were embarrassed.
00:52:25.180 They got angry.
00:52:26.140 They should never get angry.
00:52:28.080 And it ensured
00:52:29.620 his confirmation.
00:52:30.780 Any Republican senator
00:52:32.200 that would not vote
00:52:33.320 for him
00:52:33.700 is going to be
00:52:34.380 politically dead
00:52:35.840 because you know
00:52:36.980 what they're going to do.
00:52:37.660 They're going to say,
00:52:38.380 you voted for Pete Buttigieg.
00:52:40.420 You voted for
00:52:41.400 this incompetent Austin.
00:52:42.840 You voted
00:52:43.300 for all this,
00:52:45.160 these comic characters
00:52:46.560 that Biden
00:52:47.080 and now you're going to
00:52:48.140 vote against
00:52:48.740 this decorated,
00:52:49.920 it's not,
00:52:50.560 so he's going to be confirmed
00:52:52.020 and that was good.
00:52:53.580 But it was Kavanaugh redukes.
00:52:56.520 That's what it was.
00:52:59.020 Yeah.
00:52:59.620 They definitely tried
00:53:00.640 to smear him
00:53:01.140 on the woman thing.
00:53:01.820 By the way,
00:53:02.160 we put this together.
00:53:03.060 Tim Kaine was their
00:53:03.740 real attack dog
00:53:04.620 on the women allegations.
00:53:07.720 And, you know,
00:53:07.980 Tim Kaine has found God
00:53:09.180 because he was the one
00:53:11.760 who was like,
00:53:12.260 women, women, women,
00:53:13.060 you cheated, cheated, cheated.
00:53:14.140 But he was BFFs
00:53:15.520 with Bill Clinton
00:53:16.740 and Doug Emhoff.
00:53:18.540 We put a little bit
00:53:19.240 of that together
00:53:19.760 in a butted soundbite.
00:53:20.680 Look, watch.
00:53:22.060 Fully investigated
00:53:23.020 and completely cleared.
00:53:24.580 So you think
00:53:25.500 you are completely cleared
00:53:26.780 because you committed
00:53:27.680 no crime.
00:53:28.320 That's your definition
00:53:29.140 of cleared?
00:53:29.840 You had just fathered
00:53:31.340 a child two months before
00:53:32.820 by a woman
00:53:33.360 that was not your wife.
00:53:34.860 I am shocked
00:53:36.140 that you would stand here
00:53:37.640 and say you're
00:53:38.120 completely cleared.
00:53:39.500 Something you said
00:53:40.440 back in, I think,
00:53:41.120 2002 about
00:53:42.280 former President
00:53:42.940 Bill Clinton
00:53:43.500 that he should resign
00:53:44.500 if the scandal,
00:53:45.300 the Lewinsky scandal
00:53:46.100 turned out to be true.
00:53:47.360 Do you still hold true
00:53:48.300 to those words
00:53:48.800 you said back then?
00:53:49.480 I had some feelings
00:53:51.220 of disappointment
00:53:51.840 back then.
00:53:53.100 But, you know,
00:53:53.420 Nat's now 20 years old.
00:53:55.640 And when I'm talking
00:53:56.480 to people on the campaign trail,
00:53:57.720 they're not asking me
00:53:58.380 about old controversies.
00:53:59.960 Past controversies
00:54:00.860 aren't that important
00:54:01.520 to me now.
00:54:02.040 Yeah.
00:54:02.340 I mean,
00:54:02.600 do you think
00:54:03.260 your feelings have changed?
00:54:04.880 It was a feeling
00:54:05.860 I had at the time,
00:54:06.740 but now I'm thinking
00:54:07.820 about what do we do
00:54:08.620 to help this country
00:54:09.380 be strong?
00:54:11.460 Oh, so G.
00:54:12.240 Aw shucks
00:54:12.960 tweeted out yesterday
00:54:13.800 by Alter Frog on X.
00:54:15.840 Go ahead, Victor.
00:54:16.300 Well, he used to
00:54:18.980 kind of appear
00:54:20.200 semi-quasi-normal,
00:54:21.860 but now he's gone
00:54:22.680 full Tim Waltz.
00:54:23.780 He looks like Tim Waltz.
00:54:24.840 He acts like Tim Waltz.
00:54:26.080 He's as crazy as Tim Waltz,
00:54:28.280 and he's kind of emblematic
00:54:29.380 of that whole party.
00:54:31.060 It's kind of like
00:54:31.860 they're older people
00:54:33.180 that want to be,
00:54:34.100 I don't know,
00:54:34.900 hip or something.
00:54:35.720 They want to be
00:54:36.280 in the AOC,
00:54:37.220 and these younger people
00:54:38.600 have hijacked their party,
00:54:41.420 destroyed it,
00:54:42.120 and they're kind of
00:54:42.980 deer in the headlights.
00:54:43.880 So they kind of go
00:54:45.140 through the motions
00:54:45.920 of, you know,
00:54:46.980 objecting,
00:54:47.640 but they're silly,
00:54:49.520 and he was another gift
00:54:51.840 to Pete Hexf.
00:54:53.240 He did go full Tim Waltz.
00:54:55.100 That's exactly right.
00:54:56.500 So then yesterday
00:54:57.360 and today,
00:54:58.940 and the audience
00:54:59.720 probably knows this,
00:55:00.460 but just in case,
00:55:01.140 you know,
00:55:01.340 these nominations,
00:55:03.100 they start in committee,
00:55:04.760 so you have to go
00:55:05.440 before the relevant committee
00:55:06.640 to your position.
00:55:07.660 Like yesterday,
00:55:08.160 it was armed services.
00:55:09.320 Today, Bondi's
00:55:10.040 in front of judiciary,
00:55:11.280 and then they will
00:55:13.200 recommend your nomination
00:55:14.620 out to the full Senate floor
00:55:15.940 or not,
00:55:16.780 but, you know,
00:55:17.380 typically, yes, they will,
00:55:18.600 and then the full Senate
00:55:19.300 gets to vote on it.
00:55:20.100 So Blumenthal
00:55:22.460 is on both of those committees
00:55:23.560 because he was there
00:55:24.160 yesterday with Pete,
00:55:24.960 and by the way,
00:55:25.600 once you hit a certain age,
00:55:26.540 gentlemen,
00:55:26.940 this is a pro tip for you.
00:55:28.760 Do not dye your hair black anymore.
00:55:31.920 At a minimum,
00:55:32.880 do the salt and pepper situation.
00:55:34.580 I have no problem
00:55:35.220 with the salt and pepper.
00:55:35.940 Do the salt and pepper.
00:55:36.700 I get it,
00:55:37.160 but do not do all pepper
00:55:38.740 because it just looks dumb
00:55:40.520 when we know
00:55:41.900 you're in your 70s
00:55:43.100 and your face looks 70s,
00:55:45.620 and that's fine,
00:55:46.580 but stop trying to look
00:55:47.580 like you're a young man
00:55:48.420 of 30 on top of your head.
00:55:50.040 It looks bad.
00:55:51.140 Okay.
00:55:51.900 Dick Blumenthal,
00:55:52.820 no charge for the free advice.
00:55:54.300 He reappears today
00:55:55.420 and is going after Bondi
00:55:57.580 on a similar theme
00:55:58.720 we heard with Pete yesterday,
00:56:00.060 which is,
00:56:00.940 Trump is lawless
00:56:01.960 and will be asking
00:56:03.260 everybody in the cabinet
00:56:04.420 to be lawless with him,
00:56:06.000 and will you be the bulwark
00:56:08.380 against him?
00:56:09.760 They went after Pete for that,
00:56:11.280 and now here's Blumenthal
00:56:12.520 going after Pam Bondi,
00:56:13.820 our next potential attorney general,
00:56:15.540 with the same line
00:56:16.360 of questioning in SOT 37.
00:56:18.740 Can you say no
00:56:19.820 to the President of the United States
00:56:21.060 when he asks you
00:56:24.160 to do something unethical
00:56:26.180 or illegal?
00:56:28.460 Senator, first,
00:56:29.380 I need to clarify something
00:56:30.740 that you said,
00:56:31.760 that I have to sit up here
00:56:33.540 and say these things.
00:56:34.640 No, I don't.
00:56:35.260 I sit up here
00:56:36.400 and speak the truth.
00:56:38.560 I'm not going to sit up here
00:56:39.700 and say anything
00:56:40.700 that I need to say
00:56:42.660 to get confirmed
00:56:43.960 by this body.
00:56:45.300 I don't have to say anything.
00:56:47.080 I will answer the questions
00:56:48.400 to the best of my ability
00:56:50.020 and honestly.
00:56:51.960 Let me ask you.
00:56:54.320 Pretty good.
00:56:55.360 What did you think of it?
00:56:56.820 The subtext
00:56:58.120 or reductionist truth
00:56:59.700 behind that is
00:57:00.580 I have 53 senators
00:57:01.920 and you don't.
00:57:03.220 So I can say whatever
00:57:04.440 I can say
00:57:05.300 whatever I want
00:57:06.220 and nobody's going
00:57:07.600 to be stupid
00:57:08.180 after what Merrick Garland
00:57:09.780 said and did
00:57:10.600 the last four years
00:57:11.460 with lawfare
00:57:12.100 and he got confirmed
00:57:13.020 by the Republican,
00:57:15.000 some Republicans
00:57:15.960 and anybody
00:57:17.120 who objects
00:57:18.740 and agrees with you
00:57:19.820 is going to get primaried
00:57:20.960 and they know it
00:57:21.580 and they're not going
00:57:22.320 to vote anywhere near you
00:57:23.560 and I'm home free
00:57:24.720 and I can say
00:57:25.740 whatever I want to you.
00:57:26.740 How do you like that?
00:57:27.500 That's what it was.
00:57:28.300 And she's absolutely right.
00:57:30.360 She's not going
00:57:31.020 to play that game
00:57:31.980 and she should have,
00:57:35.140 you know,
00:57:35.400 I think they're going
00:57:36.160 to get even more emboldened
00:57:37.460 as these go on
00:57:38.360 because I think
00:57:39.020 the Republican
00:57:39.680 wavering people,
00:57:41.260 there's two or three of them
00:57:42.100 are going to look at this
00:57:43.040 and they're going to say,
00:57:44.640 man,
00:57:44.960 I cannot be allied
00:57:46.320 with these nuts.
00:57:47.320 That is political suicide.
00:57:49.220 If I have reservations
00:57:51.760 about Hexeth
00:57:53.600 or I cannot say anything
00:57:56.300 because these people
00:57:57.340 are crazy
00:57:58.020 and I've got to stick
00:57:59.160 with my team.
00:58:00.380 So I think they're all
00:58:01.400 going to get confirmed
00:58:02.420 and that's going to
00:58:03.160 embolden all of them
00:58:04.360 to go back on the attack
00:58:05.600 like Bondi did
00:58:06.480 and Pete did.
00:58:07.640 So I expect that
00:58:08.540 they'll go after Cash.
00:58:09.540 When they get to Cash Patel
00:58:10.920 and I know Cash pretty well,
00:58:12.940 it's going to be
00:58:13.820 a lot of fireworks.
00:58:14.960 So I don't think
00:58:15.460 he's going to sit up
00:58:16.140 and take that.
00:58:17.060 So he came up,
00:58:18.240 he came up
00:58:19.060 in this exchange.
00:58:21.300 I think this,
00:58:22.520 they were talking about him
00:58:23.200 in a couple of these.
00:58:24.120 All right,
00:58:24.280 so first this is,
00:58:26.080 there's Senator Whitehouse
00:58:28.040 who tried to go after
00:58:29.180 on whether it's
00:58:30.140 appropriate for prosecutors
00:58:31.860 to start with a name
00:58:32.980 and look for a crime.
00:58:35.340 And then you,
00:58:36.040 well,
00:58:36.180 I'll show you Maisie Hirono
00:58:37.420 who was like,
00:58:38.560 she was definitely
00:58:39.260 talking about Cash Patel,
00:58:40.460 but watch this
00:58:41.180 with Senator Whitehouse.
00:58:43.280 It would not be
00:58:44.660 appropriate for
00:58:46.080 a prosecutor
00:58:47.520 to start
00:58:48.160 with a name
00:58:49.980 and look
00:58:51.280 for a crime.
00:58:52.480 It's a prosecutor's job
00:58:53.880 to start
00:58:54.340 with a crime
00:58:55.000 and look
00:58:56.380 for a name,
00:58:57.100 correct?
00:59:00.060 Senator,
00:59:00.760 I think that
00:59:01.600 is the whole problem
00:59:02.600 with the weaponization
00:59:03.520 that we have seen
00:59:04.220 the last four years
00:59:05.360 and what's been happening
00:59:06.320 to Donald Trump.
00:59:07.680 They targeted
00:59:08.640 Donald Trump.
00:59:09.500 They went after him.
00:59:11.280 Actually,
00:59:11.900 starting back
00:59:12.500 in 2016,
00:59:14.160 they targeted
00:59:14.800 his campaign.
00:59:15.660 They have launched
00:59:16.960 countless investigations
00:59:18.380 against him.
00:59:19.900 That will not be the case
00:59:21.680 if I am Attorney General.
00:59:23.480 I will not politicize
00:59:24.740 that office.
00:59:25.920 I will not target people
00:59:27.540 simply because
00:59:28.660 of their political affiliation.
00:59:32.320 Victor,
00:59:33.020 I'm just sorry,
00:59:33.600 but isn't it,
00:59:34.320 right,
00:59:34.700 isn't it so great
00:59:35.620 to hear a nominee
00:59:36.440 who's two steps ahead
00:59:37.520 of them?
00:59:38.100 You know,
00:59:38.340 like,
00:59:38.560 I see what you're
00:59:39.260 trying to do
00:59:40.000 and screw you
00:59:41.600 because you're the ones
00:59:42.460 who did this.
00:59:43.120 Yeah,
00:59:45.040 it is,
00:59:45.540 and I agree with you,
00:59:46.360 but,
00:59:46.600 you know,
00:59:47.280 I kind of grew up
00:59:48.340 with watching
00:59:49.300 J. William Fulbright
00:59:51.320 and all those guys
00:59:52.760 and Frank Church.
00:59:53.860 I didn't agree
00:59:54.360 with them politically,
00:59:56.060 but compared,
00:59:56.980 these are dunces
00:59:57.920 compared to those guys,
00:59:59.260 those old Democratic
01:00:00.360 stalwart guys
01:00:01.360 that were young
01:00:01.980 during the Truman era
01:00:03.740 and they came into their own
01:00:04.900 in the 60s and 70s.
01:00:06.280 They were kind of misguided,
01:00:07.460 but they were well-spoken,
01:00:08.820 they were logical,
01:00:10.560 they were professionals.
01:00:12.560 These people are just,
01:00:14.420 I don't know what's happened
01:00:15.320 to the Democratic Party.
01:00:17.380 I don't know
01:00:18.200 if this older generation
01:00:19.960 was suspect to begin with
01:00:22.120 or when the party
01:00:23.580 was hijacked
01:00:24.380 by the woke people,
01:00:25.320 they had to make
01:00:25.960 the unnecessary adjustments,
01:00:27.620 but they are
01:00:28.360 an embarrassing lot.
01:00:29.560 They really are.
01:00:30.620 And,
01:00:30.800 I mean,
01:00:31.000 to say what he did
01:00:32.220 about finding
01:00:33.840 that old Soviet
01:00:35.560 Berea,
01:00:36.980 give me the man
01:00:38.720 and I'll find you the crime,
01:00:39.800 that's what he was alluding to
01:00:40.920 after what Merrick Garland
01:00:42.660 did without,
01:00:43.820 no one,
01:00:44.520 the thing about
01:00:45.300 Merrick Garland,
01:00:47.620 his delegate,
01:00:48.840 this was all court
01:00:49.720 and we know that
01:00:50.380 about Fannie Willis
01:00:51.500 and Bragg
01:00:52.940 and Latina James
01:00:54.020 and Smith,
01:00:54.600 but in every one
01:00:55.840 of those cases
01:00:56.480 there was one truism
01:00:58.080 that Donald Trump,
01:01:00.060 if he had said
01:01:00.760 he was not going
01:01:01.620 to run for re-election,
01:01:03.180 none of them
01:01:03.860 would have indicted him
01:01:04.860 and they will never
01:01:05.880 indict anybody else
01:01:07.280 for those crimes.
01:01:08.940 They're non-existent crimes,
01:01:10.500 they will vanish
01:01:11.160 and evaporate
01:01:12.040 into the atmosphere.
01:01:13.400 No politician
01:01:14.440 will ever be
01:01:15.340 charged
01:01:16.520 with saying
01:01:17.460 that his
01:01:18.100 real estate
01:01:19.620 is somewhat
01:01:20.360 more than
01:01:21.560 they think it is
01:01:22.680 and therefore
01:01:23.240 he got a loan
01:01:24.460 which he paid back
01:01:25.240 with interest on time
01:01:26.280 to the profit
01:01:26.860 and satisfaction
01:01:27.440 of the lender
01:01:28.360 and nobody's ever
01:01:29.960 going to be prosecuted
01:01:31.020 for that again.
01:01:31.860 They know it.
01:01:33.280 So she was really good.
01:01:34.340 I thought
01:01:35.340 she was excellent
01:01:36.100 and I think
01:01:36.640 they're all going
01:01:37.220 to follow the cue
01:01:38.220 of Bondi
01:01:40.500 and Pete Hexeth.
01:01:41.960 I mean,
01:01:42.160 they set the establishment
01:01:43.160 how to deal
01:01:43.760 with these people,
01:01:45.400 their children
01:01:45.900 and I think
01:01:46.560 they're going
01:01:46.860 to be treated as such.
01:01:48.340 I think that's right.
01:01:49.240 Be aggressive.
01:01:50.260 Like,
01:01:50.520 you don't need
01:01:51.200 their votes.
01:01:51.760 Like you said,
01:01:52.320 I have 53 senators
01:01:53.240 and you don't.
01:01:54.740 Be aggressive
01:01:55.500 and stop letting them
01:01:57.120 try to control
01:01:57.780 the narrative
01:01:58.220 about Trump
01:01:58.880 in a way
01:01:59.320 that's trying
01:02:00.200 to sink him
01:02:00.880 before he even
01:02:01.540 gets started
01:02:02.100 in the eyes
01:02:03.060 of the American people.
01:02:04.340 Trump or his nominees.
01:02:06.440 This one was
01:02:07.200 White House again
01:02:08.220 and this is clearly
01:02:09.380 about Cash Patel
01:02:10.020 because you'll hear
01:02:10.580 Bondi reference
01:02:11.460 Cash in her answer
01:02:13.280 Sop 40.
01:02:16.880 Senator,
01:02:17.540 to cut to the chase,
01:02:18.640 you're clearly
01:02:19.060 talking about
01:02:19.900 Cash Patel.
01:02:20.880 I don't believe
01:02:21.600 he has an enemies list.
01:02:23.140 He made a quote
01:02:23.820 on TV
01:02:24.480 which I have not heard.
01:02:26.220 I saw your sign
01:02:27.820 or Senator Dervin
01:02:28.680 sign about Cash.
01:02:30.060 But I know
01:02:32.280 that Cash Patel
01:02:33.340 has had 60 jury trials
01:02:36.020 as a public defender,
01:02:38.120 as a prosecutor.
01:02:40.360 He has great experience
01:02:42.720 in the Intel Department,
01:02:45.140 Department of Defense.
01:02:46.960 I have known Cash
01:02:48.540 and I believe
01:02:50.080 that Cash
01:02:50.860 is the right person
01:02:52.120 at this time
01:02:53.020 for this job.
01:02:54.200 And I'm questioning you
01:02:55.180 right now
01:02:55.640 about whether
01:02:56.280 you will enforce
01:02:57.220 an enemies list
01:02:58.020 that he announced
01:02:58.680 publicly on television.
01:03:00.060 Oh, Senator,
01:03:00.760 I'm sorry.
01:03:01.120 There will never
01:03:01.740 be an enemies list
01:03:02.860 within the Department
01:03:03.620 of Justice.
01:03:07.040 So you're right,
01:03:08.240 Victor,
01:03:08.500 when he gets in there,
01:03:09.640 oh boy.
01:03:11.060 Yeah, I mean,
01:03:11.900 he knows he has
01:03:13.220 the 53 votes.
01:03:14.620 The thing about Cash
01:03:15.720 is he gets,
01:03:17.360 he can say things
01:03:18.880 and he writes things
01:03:19.680 that can be taken
01:03:20.520 out of context,
01:03:21.700 but what they don't,
01:03:22.560 I've known him
01:03:23.060 for about 15 years.
01:03:24.520 He's got a photographic
01:03:25.560 memory.
01:03:25.960 He really does.
01:03:27.040 And he was schooled
01:03:28.080 by Devin Nunes
01:03:28.940 about,
01:03:30.040 and he's a brilliant guy
01:03:31.940 and what he's going
01:03:33.200 to do,
01:03:33.800 and I think everybody
01:03:34.560 knows it,
01:03:35.140 he's going to bring back
01:03:36.460 all these guys
01:03:38.140 and women
01:03:38.780 that are in their 40s,
01:03:40.160 50s, and 60s
01:03:41.220 that were driven out
01:03:42.260 by the Mueller,
01:03:44.060 Comey,
01:03:44.720 McCabe,
01:03:45.420 Ray regimes
01:03:46.360 when they got sick
01:03:47.720 of the weaponization.
01:03:49.040 So he's going to be
01:03:49.740 surrounded by professional
01:03:51.220 FBI people
01:03:52.580 that were dissidents
01:03:53.620 and wanted to restore
01:03:55.240 the reputation
01:03:55.980 of the FBI.
01:03:56.800 It's going to be
01:03:57.220 restoration.
01:03:58.540 And you know,
01:03:58.800 the other thing
01:03:59.300 real quickly,
01:03:59.980 Megan,
01:04:00.180 is that this is
01:04:00.960 all going on
01:04:02.020 when Joe Biden,
01:04:04.420 their president,
01:04:05.740 our president,
01:04:06.540 but especially
01:04:07.340 their hero,
01:04:08.600 is now pardoning
01:04:10.200 1,500 people.
01:04:11.460 He pardoned his son,
01:04:12.720 and they know
01:04:13.580 what's going to happen
01:04:14.560 maybe while these
01:04:16.360 confirmations go on
01:04:17.920 because Biden
01:04:19.300 is running out of time
01:04:20.420 and we know
01:04:20.880 he's going to try
01:04:21.740 to pardon,
01:04:22.720 I think he'll pardon
01:04:23.860 Liz Cheney,
01:04:24.900 Benny Thompson.
01:04:27.220 I think he'll pardon
01:04:29.000 probably some more
01:04:29.900 Biden family members,
01:04:31.360 and he's made
01:04:32.080 a mockery of that.
01:04:33.240 And then we have
01:04:33.740 the whole incompetency
01:04:36.100 going on in Los Angeles
01:04:37.540 and the whole destruction
01:04:38.780 of L.A.
01:04:39.920 and the culpable
01:04:41.720 blue models,
01:04:42.920 blue state models.
01:04:43.880 So the backdrops
01:04:45.260 of this hearing
01:04:45.940 is not good
01:04:46.680 for progressivism
01:04:47.720 is what I'm trying to say.
01:04:49.400 Well, some of those
01:04:50.240 names you just mentioned
01:04:50.960 came up because
01:04:51.760 Maisie Hirono,
01:04:53.620 is she the dumbest
01:04:54.480 in the Senate?
01:04:55.640 I mean,
01:04:56.180 That's a hard call.
01:04:57.920 Yeah, I mean,
01:04:58.720 I await your nominee
01:05:00.280 for a fellow contender.
01:05:01.680 I think she might
01:05:02.140 be number one.
01:05:04.780 She's a Democrat
01:05:05.740 from Hawaii.
01:05:06.740 She started to get
01:05:07.780 into with Bondi
01:05:08.740 whether she's going
01:05:10.020 to prosecute
01:05:10.960 a bunch of different
01:05:12.220 DOJ officials
01:05:13.260 in there under Biden,
01:05:14.520 including Jack Smith,
01:05:16.140 Merrick Garland,
01:05:17.440 or Liz Cheney.
01:05:19.480 Bondi refused
01:05:20.360 to take the bait,
01:05:21.520 saying,
01:05:22.200 I'm not going to answer
01:05:22.880 hypotheticals,
01:05:23.760 and saying,
01:05:24.240 quote,
01:05:24.500 no one has been prejudged
01:05:26.320 and nor will anyone
01:05:28.360 prejudge,
01:05:29.280 which is the right answer,
01:05:30.180 right?
01:05:30.340 It's like,
01:05:30.720 I'm not going to give them
01:05:31.920 a sweeping pass
01:05:32.840 if they've done something
01:05:34.140 and we get in there
01:05:34.800 and we find out.
01:05:35.640 I mean,
01:05:35.760 Liz Cheney's been accused
01:05:36.640 of some serious
01:05:37.400 ethical violations
01:05:38.200 during the course of J6
01:05:39.360 and the committee hearing,
01:05:40.680 so who knows?
01:05:42.160 So that's how
01:05:42.820 she answered it,
01:05:43.520 and then here's
01:05:44.520 Hirono on Trump's enemies.
01:05:48.200 You as Attorney General
01:05:49.540 should investigate
01:05:50.560 one of his
01:05:52.040 perceived political enemies.
01:05:54.080 Would you do so?
01:05:56.200 Senator Hirono,
01:05:57.240 I wish you had met with me.
01:05:58.820 Had you met with me,
01:05:59.800 we could have discussed
01:06:00.740 many things
01:06:01.500 and gotten to know me.
01:06:02.280 I am listening to you now.
01:06:03.760 Could you respond
01:06:04.780 to the question?
01:06:06.480 Yeah,
01:06:06.680 you were the only one
01:06:07.440 who refused to meet
01:06:08.360 with me, Senator,
01:06:09.040 but what we would have
01:06:10.400 discussed is that
01:06:11.420 it is the job
01:06:12.280 of the Attorney General
01:06:13.480 to follow the law.
01:06:17.440 So good,
01:06:18.520 right?
01:06:18.780 Given what we heard yesterday,
01:06:19.780 you didn't meet with me,
01:06:20.840 Mr. Hegseth,
01:06:21.540 you didn't meet with me
01:06:22.540 either or me either
01:06:23.700 and now you get this woman,
01:06:26.040 you know,
01:06:26.340 she refused to meet
01:06:27.240 with Pam Bondi.
01:06:28.760 Yeah,
01:06:29.220 I don't know what,
01:06:30.600 they thought they were
01:06:32.140 going to be very schooled
01:06:33.320 and prepped
01:06:33.800 and Schumer had them all in
01:06:34.960 and said this is an occasion
01:06:36.020 for us to make the argument
01:06:37.480 that Trump is satanic
01:06:38.900 and these people
01:06:39.540 are incompetent
01:06:40.200 but they really
01:06:41.300 didn't research it.
01:06:43.080 Anybody who knew
01:06:43.860 Pete Hegseth
01:06:44.920 or Pam Bondi
01:06:46.460 or met them
01:06:47.140 or knows them
01:06:47.820 or seen them in action,
01:06:49.020 they're very quick
01:06:49.740 on their feet,
01:06:50.420 they're witty,
01:06:51.240 they're smart
01:06:51.920 and they're perfect,
01:06:54.000 I mean,
01:06:54.320 they're masters of optics,
01:06:56.480 they've been on television
01:06:57.540 so just the appearance
01:07:00.480 of her and Pete,
01:07:01.660 the way they handled
01:07:02.380 the questions,
01:07:03.240 the way they answered,
01:07:04.880 didn't they understand
01:07:05.980 what they were doing
01:07:06.940 when they asked
01:07:07.540 these stupid questions
01:07:08.640 and they showboated
01:07:10.600 and performanceed art
01:07:11.840 when Pete,
01:07:13.100 you know,
01:07:13.560 I'm not a general senator,
01:07:15.940 didn't they understand
01:07:16.740 that these people
01:07:17.500 were far more capable
01:07:18.960 in that venue
01:07:19.980 than they were?
01:07:21.140 But it's just that
01:07:22.060 they're in an echo chamber
01:07:23.380 and they're so arrogant
01:07:24.440 but they're ossified,
01:07:26.160 calcified hacks
01:07:27.280 and they don't understand it
01:07:29.020 and they're up against
01:07:29.800 a new generation
01:07:30.740 of really smart people
01:07:32.600 who have mastered
01:07:33.440 the medium of television
01:07:34.800 and impromptu repartee
01:07:37.060 and they just
01:07:37.740 had them for dinner.
01:07:39.500 It was embarrassing.
01:07:39.960 And you know what else?
01:07:40.880 You know what else?
01:07:41.600 Here's the other piece of it.
01:07:42.720 You're so right.
01:07:43.600 Totally agree.
01:07:45.300 They're bitter
01:07:46.520 about this victory
01:07:48.980 and it's manifesting
01:07:51.040 in their snarky,
01:07:53.260 petty little questions
01:07:54.640 and in other ways.
01:07:56.840 We just this week
01:07:58.220 saw a couple of reports.
01:08:00.660 Number one,
01:08:01.880 guess who's refusing
01:08:03.260 to go to the inauguration?
01:08:05.400 Michelle Obama
01:08:06.380 to the snaps.
01:08:07.600 Promises, promises.
01:08:09.160 Yeah, of Joy Reid
01:08:10.460 who's like,
01:08:10.940 Michelle gets it.
01:08:12.360 Love my girl.
01:08:13.920 So Michelle Obama
01:08:14.860 is not going to go
01:08:15.680 and Kamala Harris
01:08:17.600 has refused
01:08:19.620 to invite
01:08:20.940 the next second family,
01:08:23.340 J.D. Vance
01:08:23.800 and his wife Usha
01:08:24.580 to the residence
01:08:26.060 where she stays,
01:08:27.020 where the vice president stays
01:08:28.020 for a tour
01:08:29.220 or just for a nicety,
01:08:31.160 you know,
01:08:31.360 which is, I guess,
01:08:32.060 traditional.
01:08:32.480 She hasn't done it
01:08:34.020 and she won't do it
01:08:34.740 notwithstanding the fact
01:08:35.680 that Usha Vance
01:08:36.960 who has three very young children
01:08:38.460 in the single digits
01:08:39.340 apparently reached out
01:08:40.960 to say,
01:08:42.620 I could use some direction
01:08:45.100 on childproofing
01:08:47.320 the residence,
01:08:48.540 you know,
01:08:49.000 before I get there
01:08:49.540 so I know
01:08:50.060 what I'm going to need.
01:08:51.780 And apparently
01:08:52.260 they didn't get back to her.
01:08:53.680 Eventually someone
01:08:54.380 from the office
01:08:55.220 got back to her.
01:08:56.040 Someone from the office
01:08:56.920 is going to let her tour
01:08:57.820 but it's not Kamala Harris
01:08:59.520 and eventually
01:09:01.160 I guess Doug Emhoff
01:09:02.360 spoke with Usha.
01:09:04.200 But that's it.
01:09:05.160 Nothing from Kamala
01:09:06.020 whatsoever
01:09:06.740 to J.D.
01:09:07.420 These are petty,
01:09:08.920 bitter people.
01:09:11.560 Yeah,
01:09:12.020 I mean,
01:09:12.540 Kamala,
01:09:14.080 she was offered
01:09:15.020 a little soundbite
01:09:15.940 about the disaster
01:09:17.380 catastrophe
01:09:18.040 in Los Angeles
01:09:18.880 and you'd think
01:09:19.580 she would say,
01:09:20.720 whatever I say
01:09:22.160 it cannot be a word salad
01:09:23.580 because I will be
01:09:24.520 watched and cared.
01:09:25.400 And what did she do?
01:09:26.500 In 60 seconds
01:09:27.720 she said something
01:09:28.640 that was entirely
01:09:29.620 incomprehensible.
01:09:31.240 No one could understand
01:09:32.200 the syntax,
01:09:33.000 the grammar,
01:09:33.540 the vocabulary.
01:09:34.240 It was just a confirmation
01:09:35.500 of her imbecility.
01:09:38.120 Wait,
01:09:38.360 we have it.
01:09:38.980 Let's hold your point.
01:09:41.280 Watch it here.
01:09:41.800 Okay.
01:09:43.320 And so it's
01:09:44.280 critically important
01:09:45.380 that to the extent
01:09:47.100 you can find
01:09:47.860 anything that gives you
01:09:49.900 an ability
01:09:50.360 to be patient
01:09:51.440 in this extremely
01:09:52.920 dangerous
01:09:55.160 and unprecedented
01:09:57.060 crisis
01:09:58.040 that you do.
01:10:01.040 What?
01:10:02.320 Who was next to her?
01:10:03.940 His eyes were
01:10:05.040 sort of exploding
01:10:05.900 in his head.
01:10:07.280 I don't know
01:10:08.080 who it was.
01:10:08.580 It looked like
01:10:09.040 Mayorkas almost,
01:10:10.000 but his eyes went,
01:10:11.100 oh my God,
01:10:12.260 this is,
01:10:12.740 what is this woman?
01:10:13.620 She's insane.
01:10:14.140 Couldn't take my eyes
01:10:14.440 off her.
01:10:15.540 Yeah,
01:10:16.080 and so it's,
01:10:18.900 you know,
01:10:19.420 we've talked about
01:10:20.900 this before,
01:10:21.600 but I think a lot
01:10:22.400 of it is fear
01:10:23.620 because they project,
01:10:25.180 you know,
01:10:25.520 and you've talked
01:10:26.320 about that,
01:10:26.800 Megan,
01:10:26.980 they always project
01:10:28.120 what they're doing.
01:10:29.280 They project
01:10:29.800 what's wrong
01:10:30.480 or unethical.
01:10:31.440 They project
01:10:31.940 onto their opponents,
01:10:33.000 but they know
01:10:34.360 that if they were
01:10:35.040 in power right now
01:10:36.180 and they had suffered
01:10:37.480 what they did
01:10:38.340 to Donald Trump
01:10:39.340 and they were
01:10:40.300 Donald Trump,
01:10:41.360 they know
01:10:41.940 what they would be doing
01:10:43.060 and they would be
01:10:44.040 going after their enemies
01:10:45.260 like Merrick Garland
01:10:46.460 did and Biden did
01:10:47.600 and that's terrifies them
01:10:48.880 because they think
01:10:49.540 that Donald Trump
01:10:50.440 thinks like they do
01:10:51.720 and I don't think
01:10:52.440 he does.
01:10:53.580 I think he's so concerned
01:10:55.180 with getting
01:10:55.740 these tech barons
01:10:56.880 and common sense
01:10:58.840 and opening up
01:11:00.420 natural resources
01:11:01.380 for development
01:11:02.360 and artificial intelligence
01:11:05.140 and bioengineering.
01:11:06.720 He really has this dream
01:11:08.020 of a golden age
01:11:09.060 and he only has four years
01:11:10.780 and that's what
01:11:11.660 he's concentrated on,
01:11:13.360 but that's not
01:11:14.040 how they think.
01:11:15.220 They think,
01:11:15.780 oh my God,
01:11:16.480 what we did to him
01:11:17.720 and now he's in power
01:11:19.400 like we were,
01:11:20.180 he's going to go
01:11:20.780 after all of us
01:11:21.920 because that's
01:11:22.340 what I would do.
01:11:24.260 So your point
01:11:26.240 about projection
01:11:27.060 plays perfectly well
01:11:28.720 into what Jimmy Kimmel
01:11:29.680 was doing last night
01:11:30.760 saying Trump's upset
01:11:33.380 that the firefighters
01:11:34.860 out in L.A.
01:11:35.940 aren't white enough,
01:11:37.700 which is like
01:11:38.340 completely backwards
01:11:41.400 of what actually happened.
01:11:42.700 It was the city
01:11:45.220 of Los Angeles,
01:11:45.980 it was the LAFD
01:11:47.220 that decided
01:11:47.980 their ranks
01:11:49.040 were too white
01:11:50.440 and started openly
01:11:52.600 on some initiative
01:11:54.060 to make them
01:11:54.720 less white
01:11:55.700 and less straight.
01:11:57.800 And now
01:11:58.260 video after video
01:11:59.920 has come out
01:12:00.720 of the fire chief
01:12:02.040 touting
01:12:02.600 how gay she is
01:12:04.440 and she's a woman,
01:12:05.740 she's gay
01:12:06.140 and she's a lesbian
01:12:07.300 and she's a woman,
01:12:08.380 second in command,
01:12:09.560 gay and a woman,
01:12:10.920 third in command,
01:12:11.580 gay a woman
01:12:12.620 and black
01:12:13.280 and on top of that,
01:12:15.780 just today,
01:12:17.520 this is making its way
01:12:18.620 on the internet,
01:12:19.060 we went and actually
01:12:19.540 found it ourselves
01:12:20.240 on the L.A.,
01:12:22.340 is it PD or FD?
01:12:23.720 It's FD, right, Captain?
01:12:25.940 On SOT 18.
01:12:27.740 Okay.
01:12:28.540 Talking about
01:12:29.420 their pronouns
01:12:31.180 in a video
01:12:32.300 for the disabled,
01:12:33.500 not to mention
01:12:33.980 all the other stuff.
01:12:34.720 Listen here,
01:12:35.120 this is on there
01:12:35.740 right now.
01:12:39.760 Good afternoon,
01:12:40.560 and I'm with the
01:12:40.980 Los Angeles Fire Department.
01:12:42.380 We're here at the
01:12:43.220 Emergency Operations Center
01:12:44.520 with some information
01:12:45.300 for our fellow Angelenos.
01:12:47.300 My name is Captain
01:12:48.360 Jennifer Wilcox.
01:12:49.840 My pronouns are she,
01:12:51.260 her.
01:12:51.780 I am a Caucasian female
01:12:53.280 wearing a black shirt
01:12:54.960 uniform with eyewear
01:12:57.020 and a black hat.
01:12:59.200 The City of Los Angeles
01:13:00.340 continues to aggressively
01:13:01.480 respond to the
01:13:02.400 Palisades Fire
01:13:03.100 and Hearst Fire
01:13:03.820 amid the dangerous
01:13:05.060 ongoing windstorm
01:13:06.200 and extreme weather conditions
01:13:07.940 impacting the Los Angeles region.
01:13:10.300 Okay.
01:13:12.820 So it's FD.
01:13:13.740 This is the group
01:13:14.700 that's having all the troubles
01:13:15.760 and she needs us to know
01:13:16.700 what her pronouns are
01:13:17.780 and also has to take
01:13:19.780 a minute
01:13:20.820 out of her
01:13:21.640 briefing
01:13:22.220 on this emergency situation
01:13:24.140 to tell people
01:13:25.440 who are blind
01:13:26.260 what she's wearing
01:13:28.120 and about her
01:13:29.420 skin color
01:13:30.540 and her,
01:13:31.120 like,
01:13:31.940 this,
01:13:32.760 we're in la-la land,
01:13:33.900 Victor.
01:13:34.080 I know
01:13:35.840 and I live here
01:13:36.620 unfortunately
01:13:37.120 in this state
01:13:37.960 but
01:13:38.280 that's not going
01:13:40.800 to go over well
01:13:41.780 with the 10,000
01:13:44.080 homeowners
01:13:44.920 that lost their homes.
01:13:46.040 I don't think
01:13:46.700 they understand
01:13:47.320 that if you're
01:13:48.280 in Los Angeles,
01:13:49.400 it's not just Malibu
01:13:50.620 but Pacific Palisades
01:13:52.160 is the example
01:13:54.620 of tasteful,
01:13:55.720 elegant,
01:13:56.220 elite wealth.
01:13:57.700 Some of those homes
01:13:58.580 were built in the 20s.
01:14:00.340 It's old L.A.
01:14:01.480 It's got these classical
01:14:02.900 Spanish architecture,
01:14:04.560 roof,
01:14:05.240 beautiful tropical
01:14:06.180 landscaping,
01:14:07.880 one of the most
01:14:08.460 quiet,
01:14:09.640 safe,
01:14:10.060 beautiful places
01:14:10.740 in the world
01:14:11.340 and it's completely
01:14:12.320 been Dresden,
01:14:13.840 Hamburg,
01:14:14.460 Cologne,
01:14:15.320 firebomb,
01:14:16.380 napalm.
01:14:17.180 It's destroyed
01:14:18.160 and so when you're
01:14:19.320 one of the owners
01:14:20.160 and a lot of those people,
01:14:21.740 Megan,
01:14:22.100 I know some of them,
01:14:23.380 they're second
01:14:24.020 and third generation
01:14:24.980 and they're not
01:14:26.460 that wealthy people.
01:14:27.560 They inherited
01:14:28.200 and through Prop 13,
01:14:30.160 you don't have to pay
01:14:31.240 the going rate
01:14:32.540 on property tax
01:14:33.460 so some of these
01:14:34.200 $5 million homes
01:14:35.460 are paying $2,000 a year
01:14:37.140 in property tax
01:14:38.060 because they inherit
01:14:39.280 from their parents
01:14:40.240 and they don't have
01:14:41.260 that kind of money
01:14:42.060 but they're sitting
01:14:42.800 on this huge investment
01:14:44.900 of $5 or $6 million
01:14:46.020 because everybody
01:14:46.880 wants to live there
01:14:47.880 and there's no way
01:14:49.620 in the world
01:14:50.500 they're going to
01:14:51.440 ever be able
01:14:52.140 to rebuild
01:14:53.280 any of their homes.
01:14:55.160 They've been completely
01:14:55.900 wiped out
01:14:56.580 what their grandparents
01:14:57.600 or parents lived
01:14:58.540 and when they listen
01:14:59.960 to that
01:15:00.460 and they think
01:15:01.240 of 300 or so
01:15:02.440 hydrants empty,
01:15:04.460 the reservoir empty,
01:15:06.320 that type of
01:15:07.180 fire person mentality,
01:15:10.240 it's just going
01:15:11.080 to enrage them
01:15:11.860 and it's going
01:15:12.460 to make them
01:15:12.840 even angrier
01:15:13.620 because they voted
01:15:14.540 for these people
01:15:15.380 and they thought,
01:15:16.620 you know what,
01:15:17.080 we were good liberals
01:15:18.120 and we voted
01:15:19.320 for all of you people,
01:15:20.580 we voted for DI,
01:15:21.680 woke,
01:15:22.100 the whole green stuff
01:15:23.240 and you turned around
01:15:24.720 and engulfed us
01:15:26.240 and that's not,
01:15:28.160 they're irate,
01:15:29.840 they're just shocked,
01:15:31.260 those people
01:15:31.820 and I have empathy,
01:15:34.580 I'm not one of these people
01:15:35.760 who blames them
01:15:36.500 and says,
01:15:37.020 you know,
01:15:37.260 you voted for these people.
01:15:39.420 They were voting
01:15:40.440 for kind of
01:15:41.260 a nostalgic liberalism
01:15:42.840 that no longer exists
01:15:44.320 and I don't know
01:15:45.320 if they understood that
01:15:46.500 but they voted
01:15:47.660 for a radical,
01:15:49.160 Jacobin,
01:15:50.180 French revolutionary
01:15:51.080 movement in California
01:15:52.400 that blows up dams
01:15:54.400 that does not build
01:15:55.420 7.5 billion dollars
01:15:57.960 worth of
01:15:58.620 three new reservoirs
01:16:00.080 which would have given us
01:16:00.900 5 million acre feet
01:16:02.140 that doesn't clean
01:16:03.360 the hillsides,
01:16:04.180 that doesn't get rid
01:16:04.780 of the chaparral,
01:16:05.600 that doesn't allow
01:16:06.180 grazing of sheep
01:16:07.520 and cattle
01:16:08.140 as we used to,
01:16:09.660 doesn't clean the forest
01:16:10.740 and then hires people
01:16:12.300 on the basis
01:16:12.820 of their superficial appearance.
01:16:14.940 That's what they voted for
01:16:16.040 but I don't think,
01:16:16.860 I think they thought
01:16:17.640 very naively,
01:16:18.920 well,
01:16:19.060 they're kind of,
01:16:20.460 you know,
01:16:20.940 Democrats
01:16:21.320 and they're kind of
01:16:22.140 good people
01:16:22.780 and they'll do okay
01:16:25.420 and they didn't understand
01:16:27.240 that they voted in
01:16:28.440 a bunch of nihilists
01:16:29.540 and anarchists.
01:16:31.220 Mm-hmm.
01:16:32.060 Here's more.
01:16:33.860 This is L.A. City
01:16:35.080 public information officer,
01:16:36.700 spokesperson,
01:16:37.500 doing the same.
01:16:38.860 This is up there right now
01:16:40.380 talking about
01:16:41.580 wanting us all to know.
01:16:43.500 Well, you'll hear.
01:16:44.340 Watch.
01:16:45.900 Hi, my name's
01:16:46.880 Ashley Rodriguez.
01:16:48.500 I'm the public
01:16:49.360 information officer
01:16:50.460 for the city
01:16:51.380 of Los Angeles
01:16:52.280 Department on Disability.
01:16:55.920 My self-description,
01:16:58.100 I'm a Latina
01:16:59.060 with short brown hair
01:17:00.680 wearing a blue shirt
01:17:01.840 and standing to my left
01:17:03.900 is our American Sign Language
01:17:05.700 interpreter,
01:17:06.740 Susan.
01:17:08.920 It's like,
01:17:10.380 you know what?
01:17:10.960 It's so performative,
01:17:11.920 this business of like,
01:17:12.840 I'm going to cater
01:17:13.560 to the blind
01:17:14.160 and I'm going to make sure
01:17:15.380 that they have
01:17:15.840 a visual description
01:17:17.320 of me in their heads
01:17:18.420 before they listen
01:17:19.700 to my talk
01:17:20.420 because if you really
01:17:21.700 wanted to do that,
01:17:22.760 Victor,
01:17:23.000 if that were really
01:17:23.640 important to you
01:17:24.480 as opposed to just
01:17:25.720 performative box checking,
01:17:28.020 you would do it
01:17:28.640 throughout your little speech.
01:17:30.180 You would say,
01:17:31.400 you know,
01:17:31.700 so far the L.A. fires
01:17:32.840 have consumed
01:17:33.600 12,500 homes
01:17:35.240 in the northern
01:17:36.800 Pacific Palisades
01:17:37.820 and the southern
01:17:38.200 Pacific Palisades.
01:17:39.060 The Palisades
01:17:39.960 is an area of Los Angeles
01:17:41.380 that looks,
01:17:42.700 like you say,
01:17:43.240 largely built in the 1920s
01:17:44.400 with Mediterranean roofs
01:17:45.420 in which the homes
01:17:46.840 are typically
01:17:47.380 on a half an acre lot.
01:17:48.460 You couldn't get
01:17:50.200 through normal conversation
01:17:51.680 because there are
01:17:52.960 too many references
01:17:53.960 that require
01:17:55.520 visual knowledge.
01:17:57.360 You cannot cater.
01:17:58.780 Why does it matter
01:18:00.020 for the blind people
01:18:01.180 to have a perfect
01:18:02.020 description of
01:18:02.700 a Latina
01:18:03.640 up there speaking
01:18:04.900 as like,
01:18:05.900 what's the information?
01:18:07.220 That's what they want to know.
01:18:08.120 It's because
01:18:09.180 it's narcissistic.
01:18:10.520 It's all about her
01:18:11.460 and she understands
01:18:12.680 one thing, Megan.
01:18:14.120 Had she done preparation
01:18:16.060 and talked to all
01:18:17.220 the relevant
01:18:17.780 government officials
01:18:19.060 that she visited
01:18:20.040 all these places
01:18:21.080 and if she had
01:18:22.360 mastered the topic
01:18:23.340 and taken four
01:18:24.180 or five hours
01:18:24.940 and just dropped
01:18:26.160 that stuff
01:18:26.780 that you mentioned
01:18:27.600 and then extemporaneously
01:18:29.500 without notes
01:18:30.500 like where you
01:18:31.140 and I are talking,
01:18:32.340 just talked
01:18:33.060 in a convincing,
01:18:34.460 authentic manner,
01:18:35.320 she'd probably be fired
01:18:36.400 and she knows that.
01:18:38.220 So she thinks
01:18:38.920 to herself,
01:18:39.780 how do I advance
01:18:41.160 using the Latina
01:18:42.400 card
01:18:44.320 and all of this
01:18:45.320 other DEI stuff
01:18:46.760 and I know
01:18:47.960 that I will never
01:18:48.700 be adjudicated
01:18:49.680 on my actual ability
01:18:51.560 to master
01:18:52.560 the knowledge
01:18:53.360 necessary
01:18:53.980 to make a difference
01:18:55.160 or to remedy
01:18:56.020 the situation
01:18:56.800 and that's why
01:18:57.680 everybody's angry
01:18:58.540 because they know
01:18:59.400 that this is not
01:19:00.360 just a sin
01:19:02.480 of commission
01:19:03.680 by all of these
01:19:05.180 pronouns junk,
01:19:06.400 it's a sin
01:19:06.940 of omission.
01:19:07.800 It comes at the expense
01:19:09.000 in this zero-sum game
01:19:10.300 that these people
01:19:11.560 don't know anything.
01:19:13.160 They don't know
01:19:13.940 about reservoirs.
01:19:14.920 They don't know
01:19:15.420 anything about
01:19:16.020 water pressure.
01:19:16.800 They don't know
01:19:17.360 anything how to
01:19:18.120 get people out
01:19:19.000 of a house
01:19:19.640 who's a heavy male.
01:19:21.200 They don't know
01:19:21.940 about the chaparral.
01:19:22.900 They don't care
01:19:23.720 because they feel
01:19:25.220 that that was
01:19:25.740 an old white
01:19:26.500 stupid generation
01:19:27.560 that built L.A.
01:19:28.560 and they're all dead
01:19:29.420 and they made
01:19:30.380 all of these
01:19:30.940 non-green reservoirs
01:19:32.860 and they were so
01:19:33.820 into infrastructure
01:19:36.140 and water
01:19:37.440 but we're
01:19:38.160 beyond all that.
01:19:39.680 so they
01:19:40.420 they're kind of
01:19:41.480 like children
01:19:42.080 that inherited
01:19:42.900 this sophisticated
01:19:43.780 desert
01:19:45.040 that has
01:19:45.860 exist as a paradise
01:19:47.300 because of all
01:19:48.200 this imported water
01:19:49.280 that was always
01:19:50.500 on the
01:19:50.920 margin
01:19:52.440 of air.
01:19:54.500 Any little air
01:19:55.280 could destroy
01:19:55.960 that whole system
01:19:56.880 and they had
01:19:57.780 some really
01:19:58.420 brilliant people
01:19:59.280 who built
01:19:59.780 William Mulholland
01:20:00.740 was a genius
01:20:01.460 that got
01:20:02.420 Colorado water
01:20:03.380 Owens Valley water
01:20:04.460 aqueduct water
01:20:05.540 and created that
01:20:06.700 Perry Huntington
01:20:07.920 came all the way
01:20:09.200 200 miles away
01:20:10.320 and made the first
01:20:11.060 transmission lines
01:20:12.060 that could convey
01:20:13.260 hydroelectric
01:20:14.020 to run the
01:20:14.660 the cable
01:20:16.060 electric cable cars
01:20:17.180 in L.A.
01:20:17.760 They were geniuses
01:20:19.040 that built that city
01:20:19.900 and now they're relegated
01:20:20.960 to old white
01:20:21.660 stupid guys
01:20:22.480 that are gone
01:20:23.140 but these people
01:20:24.260 don't have half
01:20:25.220 the ability
01:20:25.900 that that generation
01:20:26.780 did
01:20:27.120 and they know it
01:20:28.660 and they can't even
01:20:29.600 keep
01:20:29.940 they can't even
01:20:30.560 be custodians
01:20:31.940 of a system
01:20:33.160 that they
01:20:33.780 inherited
01:20:34.740 it's too complex
01:20:36.200 they can't figure
01:20:36.860 it out
01:20:37.320 and they're
01:20:37.880 destroying it
01:20:38.660 and everybody
01:20:39.300 knows it
01:20:40.000 and there's a lot
01:20:40.620 of people in L.A.
01:20:41.400 that do know
01:20:42.040 how to do it
01:20:42.760 and they do know
01:20:43.800 how L.A.
01:20:44.440 because they grew
01:20:44.880 up with it
01:20:45.380 and they're furious
01:20:46.220 because they're
01:20:47.160 saying if you
01:20:47.800 had have just
01:20:48.260 taken the system
01:20:49.220 you inherited
01:20:49.900 and stuck
01:20:51.140 to your job
01:20:51.840 and mastered it
01:20:52.660 my house
01:20:53.440 wouldn't be
01:20:53.940 burned up
01:20:54.480 that is
01:20:54.940 you know
01:20:55.420 70 years old
01:20:56.400 a historic
01:20:57.100 place in Los Angeles
01:20:59.480 and I wouldn't
01:21:00.180 have lost
01:21:00.600 all of these
01:21:01.240 furnishings
01:21:01.880 that my grandmother
01:21:02.500 gave me
01:21:03.140 and we wouldn't
01:21:04.380 have all these
01:21:05.080 looters
01:21:05.520 trying to find
01:21:06.400 safes
01:21:06.980 and things
01:21:07.500 and burned
01:21:08.300 out lots
01:21:08.980 that's what
01:21:09.720 you did
01:21:10.280 so I think
01:21:11.900 it'll make
01:21:12.300 an impression
01:21:12.920 I really do
01:21:15.320 on some
01:21:16.000 of the Californians
01:21:16.980 here's the other
01:21:18.520 thing
01:21:18.800 you know
01:21:19.120 these
01:21:19.500 the hypocrisy
01:21:20.620 of some
01:21:20.960 of these
01:21:21.200 people
01:21:21.460 who are
01:21:21.740 in our
01:21:22.340 culture
01:21:23.180 and in our
01:21:23.760 lives
01:21:25.060 virtually
01:21:26.080 the left
01:21:27.660 after George Floyd
01:21:28.640 what did we hear
01:21:30.080 we had whole books
01:21:31.480 discussed
01:21:32.440 interviews
01:21:33.640 on NPR
01:21:34.300 about
01:21:34.980 it was
01:21:35.760 quote
01:21:36.080 in defense
01:21:36.760 of looting
01:21:37.300 in defense
01:21:38.500 of looting
01:21:38.960 you had
01:21:39.960 authors
01:21:40.640 writing books
01:21:41.180 about it
01:21:41.780 interviews
01:21:42.200 on leftist
01:21:43.080 radio
01:21:43.520 you had
01:21:44.120 Trevor Noah
01:21:44.740 out there
01:21:45.340 talking about
01:21:45.960 how well
01:21:46.500 that's
01:21:47.680 you only
01:21:48.480 don't loot
01:21:49.240 if you're
01:21:49.760 going to
01:21:49.980 uphold
01:21:50.380 the social
01:21:51.080 contract
01:21:51.600 but when
01:21:52.020 the police
01:21:52.560 violate
01:21:52.960 the social
01:21:53.360 contract
01:21:53.700 then you
01:21:54.020 have the
01:21:54.300 right
01:21:54.520 right
01:21:54.860 then it's
01:21:55.920 fair game
01:21:56.660 for all
01:21:57.040 well
01:21:57.960 guess who's
01:21:59.160 super upset
01:21:59.740 about the
01:22:00.460 looting
01:22:00.840 of the 10
01:22:01.780 and 20
01:22:02.220 million dollar
01:22:02.920 homes
01:22:03.420 that have
01:22:04.180 had to be
01:22:04.480 evacuated
01:22:05.080 because they're
01:22:05.480 under threat
01:22:05.820 of fire
01:22:06.200 that same
01:22:07.200 crowd
01:22:07.580 Julia Roberts
01:22:08.980 is out there
01:22:09.900 posting
01:22:10.280 F you
01:22:10.900 looters
01:22:11.720 I'm sure
01:22:12.760 she's very
01:22:13.280 worried
01:22:13.780 that her
01:22:14.440 friend's
01:22:14.840 beach house
01:22:15.360 is about
01:22:15.700 to get
01:22:15.980 burned
01:22:16.500 with her
01:22:17.080 beautiful
01:22:17.580 Picasso
01:22:18.380 that she
01:22:18.820 gifted him
01:22:19.420 and she
01:22:20.000 doesn't want
01:22:20.520 that to
01:22:20.860 right
01:22:21.180 but where
01:22:22.240 were you
01:22:22.800 when it
01:22:23.500 was poor
01:22:24.220 people
01:22:24.860 with small
01:22:25.820 ma and pa
01:22:26.680 businesses
01:22:27.220 getting burned
01:22:28.320 who did
01:22:29.160 nothing wrong
01:22:30.260 in Missouri
01:22:31.540 in Wisconsin
01:22:32.740 and across
01:22:33.620 the country
01:22:34.400 in 2020
01:22:35.500 well she
01:22:37.560 was nowhere
01:22:38.100 she didn't
01:22:38.680 care because
01:22:39.480 the thing
01:22:41.020 about the
01:22:41.380 LA fire
01:22:41.940 that's tragic
01:22:42.660 but also
01:22:43.340 instructive
01:22:44.040 is these
01:22:45.000 people never
01:22:45.680 suffer the
01:22:46.880 consequences
01:22:47.900 of their
01:22:48.340 ideology
01:22:48.920 because they
01:22:49.620 have enough
01:22:50.060 money or
01:22:51.240 the right
01:22:51.760 zip code
01:22:52.300 that they're
01:22:52.680 protected
01:22:53.160 from the
01:22:54.060 ruin that
01:22:54.540 they inflict
01:22:55.780 on other
01:22:56.280 people
01:22:56.660 we're the
01:22:57.080 lab rats
01:22:57.780 and they
01:22:58.720 are the
01:22:59.400 experimenters
01:23:00.460 in the
01:23:00.700 laboratory
01:23:01.120 but the
01:23:02.000 laboratory
01:23:02.380 scientists
01:23:03.300 go home
01:23:03.800 at night
01:23:04.080 they don't
01:23:04.440 stay
01:23:04.760 like the
01:23:05.840 mice
01:23:06.180 we're the
01:23:06.560 white mice
01:23:07.220 the lab rats
01:23:08.640 that are
01:23:09.140 experimental
01:23:09.680 and now
01:23:10.680 something
01:23:11.080 happened
01:23:11.620 and the
01:23:12.600 people who
01:23:13.060 created this
01:23:13.740 mess
01:23:14.180 it boomeranged
01:23:15.240 back on them
01:23:15.960 and they don't
01:23:16.420 know what to
01:23:17.040 do
01:23:17.300 they're angry
01:23:18.280 and so
01:23:19.040 Julie Roberts
01:23:20.160 says
01:23:20.640 looters
01:23:21.640 and then she
01:23:22.140 thinks for a
01:23:22.840 second
01:23:23.020 well wait a
01:23:23.600 minute
01:23:23.740 maybe a lot
01:23:24.380 of them
01:23:24.640 are DEI
01:23:25.340 types of
01:23:25.900 people
01:23:26.160 should I
01:23:26.580 say this
01:23:27.120 or not
01:23:27.620 and I
01:23:28.660 guarantee
01:23:29.200 you in a
01:23:29.860 week from
01:23:30.260 now she
01:23:30.740 will try
01:23:31.200 to contextualize
01:23:32.420 what she
01:23:32.780 said
01:23:33.300 but yeah
01:23:35.280 and so
01:23:36.340 it's you
01:23:37.180 know everything
01:23:37.840 about DEI
01:23:39.100 Elon Musk
01:23:39.820 was very
01:23:40.400 prescient when
01:23:41.240 he said it's
01:23:41.760 a mind
01:23:42.200 virus
01:23:42.640 it's a
01:23:43.260 360
01:23:44.420 cultural
01:23:45.640 revolution
01:23:46.180 and they
01:23:46.520 just it's
01:23:46.980 got the
01:23:47.420 on Midas
01:23:48.020 touch
01:23:48.360 everything
01:23:48.820 they touch
01:23:49.520 they destroy
01:23:50.280 MSNBC
01:23:51.740 has been
01:23:52.160 destroyed
01:23:52.620 they just
01:23:53.000 fired you
01:23:53.520 know better
01:23:54.080 than I do
01:23:54.520 the media
01:23:54.960 market
01:23:55.300 but I
01:23:55.560 can tell
01:23:55.880 you from
01:23:56.120 the books
01:23:56.700 after George
01:23:57.780 Floyd
01:23:58.140 some great
01:23:59.160 authors were
01:23:59.940 blacklisted
01:24:00.640 and they all
01:24:01.560 went with
01:24:01.880 the DEI
01:24:02.500 and then I
01:24:03.400 get calls
01:24:04.020 from a lot
01:24:04.580 of people
01:24:04.960 in the book
01:24:05.380 industry
01:24:05.800 none of them
01:24:07.440 sold Megan
01:24:08.120 it almost
01:24:08.740 bankrupt them
01:24:09.660 nobody wants
01:24:10.740 to read
01:24:11.260 for the
01:24:11.640 900th time
01:24:13.060 the anti-racist
01:24:15.020 manifesto
01:24:16.020 or why I
01:24:17.100 was treated
01:24:17.840 so terribly
01:24:18.580 memoir
01:24:19.140 and it
01:24:21.460 destroyed them
01:24:22.360 and now what
01:24:22.820 are they doing
01:24:23.360 they're doing
01:24:23.760 just what
01:24:24.140 the media
01:24:24.540 are doing
01:24:24.800 the publishing
01:24:25.700 houses are
01:24:26.340 getting rid
01:24:26.820 of all
01:24:27.140 the DEI
01:24:27.740 titles
01:24:28.400 book lists
01:24:29.300 authors
01:24:29.820 and going
01:24:30.620 back to
01:24:31.280 what Donald
01:24:31.940 Trump would
01:24:32.560 call return
01:24:33.260 to common
01:24:33.700 sense
01:24:34.120 so that's
01:24:36.080 why they're
01:24:36.420 so scared
01:24:36.940 this was
01:24:37.320 a revolution
01:24:38.080 I don't
01:24:38.360 think we
01:24:38.660 appreciate
01:24:39.180 this was
01:24:39.640 like
01:24:39.860 it was
01:24:41.280 like a
01:24:41.620 French
01:24:41.840 revolution
01:24:42.400 and it's
01:24:43.020 now failed
01:24:43.800 and there's
01:24:44.280 a counter
01:24:44.700 revolution
01:24:45.280 and they
01:24:46.460 don't know
01:24:46.860 how far
01:24:47.340 the counter
01:24:47.760 revolution
01:24:48.220 is going
01:24:48.520 to go
01:24:48.880 and they're
01:24:49.160 very afraid
01:24:49.720 because they
01:24:50.800 know that
01:24:51.180 they didn't
01:24:51.620 earn these
01:24:52.100 positions
01:24:52.600 they know
01:24:53.520 they've done
01:24:53.860 a lot of
01:24:54.200 damage to
01:24:54.720 society
01:24:55.180 and now
01:24:55.600 they're afraid
01:24:56.020 they have
01:24:56.380 zero public
01:24:57.320 support
01:24:57.920 that's so
01:24:59.140 interesting
01:24:59.540 yeah
01:25:00.360 that's from
01:25:00.880 a war
01:25:01.200 historian
01:25:01.780 our audience
01:25:02.640 should know
01:25:03.260 Rashida Jones
01:25:04.240 the president
01:25:04.620 of MSNBC
01:25:05.220 just announced
01:25:05.740 she was
01:25:06.000 stepping down
01:25:06.500 not sure
01:25:06.920 if it's a
01:25:07.280 firing or
01:25:07.840 forced out
01:25:08.340 but the
01:25:08.600 readings are
01:25:09.000 in the
01:25:09.260 toilet
01:25:09.720 post Trump's
01:25:11.020 win
01:25:11.280 but so
01:25:12.300 she's gone
01:25:12.960 she
01:25:13.240 she
01:25:14.200 I don't
01:25:15.540 I'm not sure
01:25:15.960 who's taking
01:25:16.340 over but it's
01:25:17.040 going to be
01:25:17.380 just like
01:25:17.800 somebody just
01:25:18.680 like her
01:25:19.040 but it's
01:25:20.020 interesting
01:25:20.400 isn't it
01:25:20.800 that Michelle
01:25:22.360 Obama and
01:25:23.100 Kamala Harris
01:25:23.660 are behaving
01:25:24.060 so badly
01:25:24.540 like why
01:25:25.780 won't Michelle
01:25:26.500 Obama go to
01:25:27.600 the inauguration
01:25:28.720 right like
01:25:29.680 why won't
01:25:30.360 she show up
01:25:31.020 I think I
01:25:32.200 know
01:25:32.520 because she
01:25:33.620 spent the
01:25:34.480 last three
01:25:35.360 weeks of the
01:25:35.920 campaign
01:25:36.520 screaming that
01:25:37.700 Donald Trump
01:25:38.340 was Satan
01:25:38.940 and he was a
01:25:39.600 racist and he
01:25:40.520 was mean
01:25:41.160 and he hated
01:25:42.300 black people
01:25:43.000 and now she's
01:25:43.600 going to have
01:25:43.980 to sit next
01:25:44.660 to him
01:25:45.040 and she
01:25:45.640 doesn't know
01:25:46.240 what Donald
01:25:47.520 Trump would
01:25:48.260 say to her
01:25:48.940 in front of
01:25:49.480 everybody
01:25:49.920 but she knows
01:25:50.660 that if she
01:25:51.740 was Donald
01:25:52.200 Trump
01:25:52.560 as again
01:25:53.160 as I said
01:25:53.920 and then she
01:25:54.500 had heard
01:25:54.920 all of what
01:25:55.960 she had said
01:25:56.720 about him
01:25:57.100 she knows
01:25:57.760 what she
01:25:58.180 would say
01:25:58.720 and she
01:25:59.120 thinks Donald
01:25:59.680 Trump is even
01:26:00.340 more trigger
01:26:01.300 happy than
01:26:01.860 she is
01:26:02.500 and Donald
01:26:03.380 Trump would
01:26:03.840 probably
01:26:04.240 you know
01:26:05.280 Donald Trump
01:26:05.760 better than
01:26:06.080 I do
01:26:06.340 Megan
01:26:06.580 you know
01:26:07.120 what he
01:26:07.360 would do
01:26:07.780 he would
01:26:08.420 walk up
01:26:09.020 and just
01:26:09.560 act as if
01:26:10.180 he was
01:26:10.420 going to
01:26:10.660 say something
01:26:11.280 and then
01:26:11.660 smile
01:26:12.100 and try to
01:26:12.700 hug her
01:26:12.980 or shake
01:26:13.320 her hand
01:26:13.840 talk to
01:26:14.680 Barack
01:26:15.200 like he
01:26:15.580 did
01:26:15.840 and that
01:26:16.280 would
01:26:16.440 even
01:26:16.680 he would
01:26:17.140 think
01:26:17.360 in his
01:26:17.940 mind
01:26:18.200 that'll
01:26:18.420 make her
01:26:18.700 even
01:26:18.860 madder
01:26:19.380 than me
01:26:20.040 saying
01:26:20.320 something
01:26:20.780 and it
01:26:21.500 did
01:26:21.820 he was
01:26:22.380 he was
01:26:23.620 an old
01:26:24.140 friend of
01:26:24.540 Barack
01:26:24.840 Obama
01:26:25.280 so
01:26:26.040 you know
01:26:26.800 Barack
01:26:27.040 Obama
01:26:27.340 called him
01:26:27.800 a racist
01:26:28.220 too
01:26:28.600 but
01:26:28.920 they don't
01:26:30.220 they don't
01:26:30.800 I don't
01:26:31.120 think they
01:26:31.440 get Donald
01:26:31.960 Trump
01:26:32.260 at all
01:26:32.780 you know
01:26:33.200 I was
01:26:33.500 just
01:26:33.640 thinking
01:26:33.860 about
01:26:34.040 let me
01:26:34.260 ask you
01:26:34.440 a question
01:26:34.800 because she
01:26:35.160 also
01:26:35.400 didn't
01:26:35.620 go to
01:26:35.820 the
01:26:35.940 Carter
01:26:36.140 funeral
01:26:36.480 where she
01:26:36.900 knew
01:26:37.040 Trump
01:26:37.240 would
01:26:37.460 be
01:26:37.560 and I
01:26:38.220 do
01:26:38.480 wonder
01:26:38.840 because
01:26:39.080 she
01:26:39.260 and
01:26:39.600 Barack
01:26:40.040 both
01:26:40.380 were out
01:26:40.760 there
01:26:40.980 saying
01:26:41.420 Trump's
01:26:42.100 a racist
01:26:42.580 Barack
01:26:43.440 referenced
01:26:43.980 Hitler
01:26:44.360 is the
01:26:45.320 difference
01:26:45.680 that Barack
01:26:46.260 Obama
01:26:46.620 didn't
01:26:47.360 actually
01:26:47.740 believe
01:26:48.100 any
01:26:48.300 of that
01:26:48.700 but
01:26:49.380 Michelle
01:26:49.780 Obama
01:26:50.200 did
01:26:50.640 yes
01:26:51.900 he's
01:26:52.180 a
01:26:52.300 Bill
01:26:52.500 Clinton
01:26:52.800 transactional
01:26:53.580 politician
01:26:54.240 it's
01:26:54.700 always
01:26:54.960 the next
01:26:55.440 day
01:26:55.780 he doesn't
01:26:56.280 care
01:26:56.540 but the
01:26:57.340 other
01:26:57.500 thing
01:26:57.740 is
01:26:58.000 there's
01:26:58.220 a
01:26:58.360 subtext
01:26:58.880 I
01:26:59.080 think
01:26:59.340 is
01:26:59.560 that
01:26:59.820 if
01:27:00.560 he
01:27:00.720 were
01:27:00.860 to
01:27:01.040 talk
01:27:01.320 honestly
01:27:01.820 to
01:27:02.060 Barack
01:27:02.360 Obama
01:27:02.800 he
01:27:03.180 would
01:27:03.340 say
01:27:03.560 something
01:27:03.860 like
01:27:04.140 this
01:27:04.520 if
01:27:06.300 Barack
01:27:06.580 Obama
01:27:06.880 would
01:27:07.080 talk
01:27:07.360 honestly
01:27:07.800 to
01:27:07.980 Donald
01:27:08.200 Trump
01:27:08.460 he'd
01:27:08.660 say
01:27:08.880 something
01:27:09.160 like
01:27:09.480 Don
01:27:10.620 don't
01:27:10.880 get
01:27:11.100 angry
01:27:12.080 you don't
01:27:12.460 have
01:27:12.720 any
01:27:13.840 idea
01:27:14.260 what
01:27:14.480 I
01:27:14.660 put
01:27:14.880 up
01:27:15.080 with
01:27:15.320 you
01:27:15.980 don't
01:27:16.120 have
01:27:16.300 to
01:27:16.420 put
01:27:16.560 up
01:27:16.700 with
01:27:16.860 her
01:27:16.940 like
01:27:17.140 I
01:27:17.360 do
01:27:17.640 so
01:27:18.300 let's
01:27:18.560 just
01:27:18.760 forget
01:27:19.420 it
01:27:19.740 and be
01:27:20.160 friends
01:27:20.600 and joke
01:27:21.180 and talk
01:27:21.820 and then
01:27:22.440 I have
01:27:22.780 to go
01:27:23.040 home
01:27:23.300 to it
01:27:23.760 so be
01:27:24.220 sympathetic
01:27:24.640 to me
01:27:25.240 and that's
01:27:26.240 what I
01:27:26.560 think
01:27:26.760 the
01:27:26.960 subtext
01:27:27.460 because
01:27:27.680 he's
01:27:28.260 not
01:27:28.480 happy
01:27:28.920 Barack
01:27:29.340 Obama
01:27:29.760 he
01:27:30.000 never
01:27:30.180 was
01:27:30.560 oh
01:27:30.680 they
01:27:30.800 have
01:27:31.020 very
01:27:31.600 different
01:27:31.940 wives
01:27:32.340 yes
01:27:33.200 and that
01:27:33.540 makes
01:27:33.760 her
01:27:33.900 even
01:27:34.100 angrier
01:27:34.640 and
01:27:34.880 angrier
01:27:35.340 and
01:27:35.600 angrier
01:27:36.120 and
01:27:36.780 he's
01:27:37.260 smart
01:27:37.580 enough
01:27:37.880 like
01:27:38.140 Bill
01:27:38.400 Clinton
01:27:38.780 to know
01:27:40.360 that
01:27:41.600 the only
01:27:42.140 reason
01:27:42.500 that they
01:27:42.840 have
01:27:43.060 half
01:27:43.420 a
01:27:43.580 reputation
01:27:44.180 is
01:27:44.560 they
01:27:44.780 feigned
01:27:45.380 that
01:27:46.060 they
01:27:46.220 were
01:27:46.420 centrist
01:27:47.020 and
01:27:47.500 Obama
01:27:47.900 went
01:27:48.280 hard
01:27:48.620 left
01:27:48.880 in the
01:27:49.140 second
01:27:49.400 but
01:27:49.700 for
01:27:49.940 a
01:27:50.080 while
01:27:50.340 he
01:27:50.520 was
01:27:50.660 talking
01:27:50.920 about
01:27:51.120 close
01:27:51.400 the
01:27:51.560 borders
01:27:51.920 and
01:27:52.200 all
01:27:52.360 that
01:27:52.640 and
01:27:53.100 Bill
01:27:53.260 Clinton
01:27:53.580 was
01:27:54.120 famous
01:27:54.480 for
01:27:54.720 doing
01:27:54.920 stuff
01:27:55.220 like
01:27:55.420 that
01:27:55.620 and
01:27:55.720 they
01:27:55.840 understand
01:27:56.260 politics
01:27:57.020 but
01:27:57.720 they
01:27:58.300 understand
01:27:58.780 Michelle
01:27:59.180 Obama
01:27:59.600 is
01:27:59.820 off
01:28:00.020 the
01:28:00.200 rails
01:28:00.620 and
01:28:01.300 Hillary
01:28:01.600 is
01:28:01.820 even
01:28:02.020 off
01:28:02.240 the
01:28:02.320 but
01:28:02.520 that's
01:28:02.820 what's
01:28:03.060 in
01:28:03.200 common

01:36:51.360 holding
01:36:51.640 the dead
01:36:52.060 bodies
01:36:52.500 of
01:36:53.320 the
01:36:53.520 hostages
01:36:54.120 back
01:36:54.380 with me
01:36:59.840 has
01:37:00.000 been
01:37:00.140 negotiating
01:37:00.740 but
01:37:01.000 so
01:37:01.260 has
01:37:01.520 team
01:37:01.780 Trump
01:37:02.160 he's
01:37:03.000 dispatched
01:37:03.480 his
01:37:03.800 Middle
01:37:04.020 East
01:37:04.220 envoy
01:37:04.520 over
01:37:04.840 there
01:37:05.140 and
01:37:06.280 so
01:37:06.760 I
01:37:07.020 don't
01:37:07.140 know
01:37:07.280 exactly
01:37:07.560 who's
01:37:07.820 negotiating
01:37:08.220 with
01:37:08.440 whom
01:37:08.640 but
01:37:08.760 there's
01:37:08.900 no
01:37:09.020 question
01:37:09.360 that
01:37:09.540 the
01:37:09.680 Trump
01:37:09.900 threat
01:37:10.300 that
01:37:10.920 all
01:37:11.100 hell
01:37:11.300 is
01:37:11.460 going
01:37:11.620 to
01:37:11.760 break
01:37:11.980 loose
01:37:12.260 if
01:37:12.460 they
01:37:12.720 are
01:37:12.840 not
01:37:13.040 returned
01:37:13.500 by
01:37:13.760 his
01:37:13.980 inauguration
01:37:14.560 which
01:37:14.820 is
01:37:14.980 Monday
01:37:15.520 it
01:37:16.440 had
01:37:16.680 to
01:37:16.820 have
01:37:16.920 played
01:37:17.080 a
01:37:17.220 part
01:37:17.400 here
01:37:17.640 it
01:37:18.920 did
01:37:19.220 I
01:37:20.120 don't
01:37:20.320 think
01:37:20.540 it's
01:37:20.720 a
01:37:20.820 good
01:37:20.940 deal
01:37:21.180 for
01:37:21.400 Israel
01:37:21.860 because
01:37:23.000 there's
01:37:24.340 about
01:37:24.600 20%
01:37:25.400 of
01:37:25.580 Gaza
01:37:25.880 they
01:37:26.100 have
01:37:26.340 to
01:37:26.460 get
01:37:26.640 into
01:37:27.040 because
01:37:27.400 that's
01:37:27.740 where
01:37:27.980 Hamas
01:37:28.540 has
01:37:28.740 fled
01:37:29.000 to
01:37:29.320 and
01:37:29.920 if
01:37:30.060 they
01:37:30.200 pull
01:37:30.520 out
01:37:30.900 and
01:37:32.420 they
01:37:32.880 release
01:37:33.700 hundreds
01:37:34.300 if not
01:37:34.720 thousands
01:37:35.120 of
01:37:35.320 terrorists
01:37:35.780 and
01:37:36.420 it's
01:37:36.920 a
01:37:37.080 ceasefire
01:37:37.540 you
01:37:37.720 know
01:37:37.860 what's
01:37:38.100 going
01:37:38.220 to
01:37:38.340 happen
01:37:38.680 they're
01:37:39.380 going
01:37:39.480 to
01:37:39.560 get
01:37:39.680 the
01:37:39.880 UN
01:37:40.220 they're
01:37:40.680 going
01:37:40.760 to
01:37:40.820 get
01:37:40.920 the
01:37:41.080 moderate
01:37:41.360 Arab
01:37:41.680 regimes
01:37:42.100 rebuild
01:37:42.580 it
01:37:42.800 and
01:37:42.940 Hamas
01:37:43.580 is
01:37:43.800 going
01:37:44.060 to
01:37:44.540 threaten
01:37:45.300 them
01:37:45.620 kill
01:37:46.000 some
01:37:46.380 and
01:37:46.640 take
01:37:46.880 over
01:37:47.120 again
01:37:47.460 so
01:37:48.340 I
01:37:48.560 don't
01:37:48.760 think
01:37:48.960 but
01:37:49.100 I
01:37:49.220 think
01:37:49.400 I
01:37:49.540 know
01:37:49.820 what
01:37:50.320 Trump
01:37:50.920 is
01:37:51.120 doing
01:37:51.500 I've
01:37:52.760 talked
01:37:52.940 to
01:37:53.040 a few
01:37:53.280 people
01:37:53.620 but
01:37:53.840 I
01:37:54.040 think
01:37:54.280 their
01:37:54.560 attitude
01:37:54.940 is
01:37:55.420 you
01:37:55.940 can't
01:37:56.680 ever
01:37:56.980 deal
01:37:57.380 with
01:37:57.580 Hamas
01:37:58.020 because
01:37:58.380 of
01:37:58.580 the
01:37:58.740 hostages
01:37:59.280 so
01:38:00.080 you
01:38:00.220 got
01:38:00.400 to
01:38:00.500 get
01:38:00.620 the
01:38:00.780 hostages
01:38:01.260 out
01:38:01.560 and
01:38:01.720 let
01:38:01.900 Biden
01:38:02.280 get
01:38:02.480 the
01:38:02.660 hostages
01:38:03.140 out
01:38:03.400 everybody
01:38:03.700 knows
01:38:04.220 they're
01:38:04.400 being
01:38:04.600 released
01:38:04.960 as
01:38:05.140 you
01:38:05.280 said
01:38:05.520 Megan
01:38:05.800 because
01:38:06.140 Trump
01:38:06.460 is
01:38:06.620 coming
01:38:06.920 in
01:38:07.200 but
01:38:07.720 Biden
01:38:08.100 officially
01:38:09.060 will
01:38:09.340 be
01:38:09.540 in
01:38:09.700 office
01:38:17.120 Israel
01:38:17.420 gets
01:38:17.700 out
01:38:17.960 Hamas
01:38:18.640 will
01:38:18.840 break
01:38:19.160 all
01:38:19.540 of
01:38:19.680 their
01:38:19.880 commitments
01:38:20.560 everybody
01:38:20.920 knows
01:38:21.420 that
01:38:21.680 and
01:38:22.360 at
01:38:22.500 that
01:38:22.720 point
01:38:22.980 they
01:38:23.160 have
01:38:23.360 no
01:38:23.540 more
01:38:23.740 leverage
01:38:24.140 over
01:38:24.440 anybody
01:38:25.060 and
01:38:25.880 Israel
01:38:26.380 is
01:38:26.620 going
01:38:26.820 to
01:38:26.980 be
01:38:27.160 under
01:38:27.380 the
01:38:27.740 Trump
01:38:28.420 administration
01:38:29.600 free
01:38:30.080 to
01:38:30.400 retaliate
01:38:31.240 as
01:38:32.000 it
01:38:32.300 sees
01:38:32.640 fit
01:38:32.980 I
01:38:33.160 think
01:38:33.340 that's
01:38:33.600 what
01:38:33.740 the
01:38:33.900 Trump
01:38:34.120 people
01:38:34.400 are
01:38:34.580 thinking
01:38:34.940 but
01:38:36.100 I'm
01:38:36.600 afraid
01:38:37.280 that
01:38:37.500 in
01:38:37.660 the
01:38:37.800 process
01:38:38.220 there's
01:38:38.600 going
01:38:38.720 to
01:38:38.780 be
01:38:38.900 a
01:38:39.020 lot
01:38:39.140 of
01:38:39.260 damage
01:38:39.700 done
01:38:40.060 even
01:38:40.540 though
01:38:40.720 I
01:38:40.860 want
01:38:41.060 all
01:38:41.220 the
01:38:41.360 hostages
01:38:41.760 everybody
01:38:42.220 does
01:38:42.600 to
01:38:42.740 be
01:38:42.880 released
01:38:43.300 but
01:38:43.540 they're
01:38:44.220 going
01:38:44.300 to
01:38:44.380 let
01:38:44.520 a lot
01:38:44.860 of
01:38:45.000 terrorists
01:38:45.380 out
01:38:45.720 and
01:38:45.920 they're
01:38:46.060 going
01:38:46.160 to
01:38:46.260 have
01:38:46.460 to
01:38:46.580 get
01:38:46.720 out
01:38:46.920 before
01:38:47.220 they've
01:38:47.580 destroyed
01:38:48.000 Hamas
01:38:48.560 and
01:38:49.640 I
01:38:50.380 think
01:38:50.560 they
01:38:50.720 could
01:38:50.980 destroy
01:38:51.380 Hamas
01:38:51.820 if
01:38:52.000 they
01:38:52.140 went
01:38:52.340 into
01:38:52.680 the
01:38:53.220 last
01:38:53.540 areas
01:38:54.140 of
01:38:54.400 Gaza
01:38:54.760 which
01:38:55.160 they
01:38:55.300 won't
01:38:55.480 be
01:38:55.620 able
01:38:55.760 to
01:38:55.920 do
01:38:56.060 what
01:38:56.260 else
01:38:56.580 is
01:38:56.700 amazing
01:38:57.020 is
01:38:57.200 the
01:38:57.340 numbers
01:38:57.680 Victor
01:38:57.980 it's
01:38:58.200 like
01:38:58.340 okay
01:38:58.580 so
01:38:58.740 they're
01:38:58.920 going
01:38:59.020 to
01:38:59.080 let
01:38:59.260 out
01:38:59.540 some
01:39:00.200 number
01:39:00.560 ideally
01:39:01.060 all
01:39:02.180 88
01:39:02.620 but
01:39:02.920 let's
01:39:03.200 say
01:39:03.320 33
01:39:03.800 of

01:39:07.360 and
01:39:08.700 Israel
01:39:09.840 is

01:39:56.580 themselves
01:39:56.980 Trump
01:39:57.340 will
01:39:57.500 do
01:39:57.700 and
01:39:57.880 say
01:39:58.060 things
01:39:58.340 we
01:39:58.540 can't
01:39:58.920 do
01:39:59.220 and
01:39:59.800 we're
01:39:59.940 going
01:40:00.060 to
01:40:00.160 use
01:40:00.440 him
01:40:00.820 to
01:40:01.400 get
01:40:01.660 a
01:40:01.980 last
01:40:02.300 minute
01:40:02.540 deal
01:40:03.000 and
01:40:03.940 Trump
01:40:04.300 is
01:40:04.520 kind
01:40:04.760 of
01:40:04.880 using
01:40:05.140 them
01:40:05.420 and
01:40:05.520 he
01:40:05.600 said
01:40:05.740 I'm
01:40:05.900 going
01:40:06.000 to
01:40:06.040 be
01:40:06.180 Ronald
01:40:06.480 Reagan
01:40:06.840 and
01:40:07.040 they're
01:40:07.200 going
01:40:07.320 to
01:40:07.380 be
01:40:07.540 Jimmy
01:40:07.820 Carter
01:40:08.220 and
01:40:08.900 they're
01:40:09.840 going
01:40:09.960 to
01:40:10.040 release
01:40:10.320 the
01:40:10.500 hostages
01:40:10.860 because
01:40:11.200 I'm
01:40:11.480 coming
01:40:11.800 in
01:40:12.100 so
01:40:12.960 that's
01:40:13.580 the
01:40:14.040 matrix
01:40:14.500 but
01:40:14.880 I
01:40:23.500 they're
01:40:25.640 all
01:40:25.840 Hamas
01:40:26.260 people
01:40:26.660 and
01:40:27.240 they're
01:40:27.380 going
01:40:27.480 to
01:40:27.560 go
01:40:27.680 right
01:40:27.920 back
01:40:28.280 and
01:40:28.460 reform
01:40:28.940 Hamas
01:40:29.580 and
01:40:29.840 they're
01:40:30.900 going
01:40:31.000 to
01:40:31.040 be
01:40:31.160 free
01:40:31.360 to
01:40:31.520 do
01:40:31.700 it
01:40:31.860 because
01:40:32.120 Israel
01:40:32.480 will
01:40:32.660 be
01:40:32.820 withdrawn
01:40:33.340 there's
01:40:33.640 going
01:40:33.740 to
01:40:33.780 be
01:40:33.880 a
01:40:34.020 ceasefire
01:40:34.580 and
01:40:35.580 then
01:40:35.880 the
01:40:36.460 money
01:40:36.700 is
01:40:36.820 going
01:40:36.940 to
01:40:37.060 pour
01:40:37.300 in
01:40:37.500 they're
01:40:37.660 going
01:40:37.760 to
01:40:37.880 steal
01:40:38.220 it
01:40:38.500 UN
01:40:39.020 money
01:40:39.380 golf
01:40:39.960 money
01:40:40.360 and
01:40:40.960 they're
01:40:41.400 going
01:40:41.520 to
01:40:41.620 start
01:40:41.900 in
01:40:42.160 on
01:40:42.320 it
01:40:42.440 again
01:40:42.740 and
01:40:43.560 I
01:40:43.720 think
01:40:43.920 at
01:40:44.060 that
01:40:44.340 point
01:40:44.740 the
01:40:45.280 Trump
01:40:45.540 administration
01:40:46.020 thinks
01:40:53.500 going
01:40:53.660 to
01:40:53.700 be
01:40:53.820 on
01:40:53.940 our
01:40:54.140 side
01:40:54.400 especially
01:40:54.740 when
01:40:54.960 the
01:40:55.120 hossages
01:40:55.440 tell
01:40:55.840 how
01:40:56.040 everybody
01:40:56.480 how
01:40:56.720 they
01:40:56.880 were
01:40:57.040 treated
01:40:57.420 and
01:40:58.140 we
01:40:58.280 see
01:40:58.500 these
01:40:58.760 bodies
01:40:59.140 of
01:40:59.480 people
01:40:59.760 who
01:40:59.920 died
01:41:00.300 weeks
01:41:00.660 before
01:41:01.120 this
01:41:01.480 gruesome
01:41:03.060 apparatus
01:41:03.800 that
01:41:04.140 runs
01:41:04.420 it
01:41:04.600 and
01:41:05.360 we're
01:41:05.840 going
01:41:05.960 to
01:41:06.060 let
01:41:06.300 Israel
01:41:06.980 then
01:41:07.200 take
01:41:07.460 care
01:41:07.660 of
01:41:07.800 business
01:41:08.200 I
01:41:08.460 think
01:41:08.620 that's
01:41:08.840 what
01:41:08.980 they
01:41:09.120 think
01:41:09.380 I
01:41:09.540 don't
01:41:09.820 necessarily
01:41:10.240 agree
01:41:10.560 with
01:41:10.780 that
01:41:11.000 because
01:41:11.360 I
01:41:11.540 think
01:41:11.680 there's
01:41:11.840 going
01:41:11.940 to
01:41:11.960 be
01:41:12.060 a
01:41:12.160 lot
01:41:12.280 of
01:41:12.400 damage
01:41:12.780 in
01:41:12.980 the
01:41:13.120 process
01:41:13.660 of
01:41:14.500 this
01:41:14.680 piece
01:41:14.900 but
01:41:15.060 I
01:41:15.180 think
01:41:15.340 that's
01:41:15.620 what
01:41:15.760 the
01:41:15.900 Trump
01:41:16.260 people
01:41:16.520 are
01:41:16.660 saying
01:41:16.840 it's
01:41:17.080 Biden's
01:41:17.560 deal
01:41:17.940 you
01:41:18.520 notice
01:41:18.800 that
01:41:18.980 Trump
01:41:19.180 didn't
01:41:19.440 take
01:41:19.700 credit
01:41:20.520 for it
01:41:20.940 he
01:41:21.000 just
01:41:21.200 said
01:41:21.420 they're
01:41:21.620 released
01:41:22.140 because
01:41:23.180 I
01:41:23.400 think
01:41:23.600 the
01:41:23.800 downside
01:41:24.260 after
01:41:24.800 the
01:41:25.120 ebullition
01:41:25.840 of the
01:41:26.100 hostages
01:41:26.480 return
01:41:27.000 the
01:41:27.280 downside
01:41:27.720 will
01:41:27.980 be
01:41:28.120 Biden's
01:41:28.740 and
01:41:29.180 then
01:41:29.320 Trump
01:41:29.580 will
01:41:29.720 start
01:41:29.980 with
01:41:30.140 a
01:41:30.280 fresh
01:41:30.540 slate
01:41:31.060 and
01:41:31.200 said
01:41:31.300 well
01:41:31.440 he
01:41:31.560 did
01:41:31.800 it
01:41:32.020 we
01:41:32.560 got
01:41:32.760 the
01:41:32.920 hostages
01:41:33.320 there's
01:41:33.620 no
01:41:33.740 more
01:41:33.920 leverage
01:41:34.240 on
01:41:34.460 us
01:41:34.640 anymore
01:41:34.980 so
01:41:35.540 I
01:41:36.560 think
01:41:36.720 that's
01:41:36.980 what's
01:41:37.180 going
01:41:37.380 on
01:41:37.720 this
01:41:38.920 is
01:41:39.140 phase
01:41:39.740 one
01:41:40.140 of
01:41:40.540 the
01:41:40.760 ending
01:41:41.300 and
01:41:42.020 the
01:41:42.180 ending
01:41:42.580 was a
01:41:43.580 long
01:41:43.800 time
01:41:44.060 coming
01:41:44.380 I
01:41:44.660 mean
01:41:44.840 there's
01:41:45.220 a
01:41:45.600 sigh
01:41:46.040 of
01:41:46.200 relief
01:41:46.420 to
01:41:46.580 some
01:41:46.800 extent
01:41:47.120 as
01:41:47.480 it
01:41:47.960 appears
01:41:48.240 to be
01:41:48.460 winding
01:41:48.740 down
01:41:49.120 Victor
01:41:49.460 thank
01:41:49.840 you

01:41:50.800 see
01:41:50.960 you

01:41:52.080 to

01:41:54.720 Monday
