Kash Patel has been selected as the next Director of the FBI by President Trump. This is a huge victory for the America First movement, and we're here to break it all down. We'll be joined by lawyer Mike Davis to discuss his thoughts on the pick.
00:06:15.000We're going to get into all of it coming up, including the massive momentum behind Kash Patel, great friend of the show, as the next director of the FBI. We'll also be joined by lawyer Mike Davis, who will definitely have some takes on what's going on.
00:06:50.000Let's make sure we get the most out of this, that people can actually see the truth rather than the lies of what, again, Joe Biden, the media, etc., etc., etc., will always show you.
00:07:09.000Luckily, perhaps for you, yours truly has a little bit of a, let's call it a fly in the wall type of moment right now, trying to help set this stuff up so we can have the most America first agenda imaginable.
00:07:23.000So now is your time again to make sure that you are subscribed, your friends are subscribed, that they're seeing it across the board, whether it's triggered or whether you get it on here on Rumble.
00:07:38.000If you miss the show here on Rumble, if you have friends that get their podcasts that way, make sure they're checking it out.

00:08:01.000Check out the Birch Gold Group and diversify your savings.
00:08:04.000With my father coming back into the office, guys, you're going to have more money in your paycheck.
00:08:09.000That means you'll have more opportunities to plan for the future.
00:08:12.000One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold.
00:08:16.000For over 20 years, Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.
00:08:27.000This means in this Christmas season you can convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in precious metals.
00:09:00.000Don Jr., my name, D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898. And with that, let's get into some of the top headlines.
00:09:08.000And we'll begin with the massive news over the weekend where my father selected our friend Cash Patel to be the next director of the FBI. I know you've been waiting for a moment like this.
00:09:22.000Cash is a perfect pick to finally fix this.
00:10:01.000I guess he wasn't a big wearer of masks and pushers of nonsense and he wasn't going to try to throw you in jail if you bought a Bible or some MAGA swag, but he's actually more qualified.
00:10:11.000He's more qualified than probably anyone they've put up there in a long time.
00:10:14.000But of course, the corrupt career bureaucrats like Andy McCabe are now in absolute panic mode that their abuses of power are going to be exposed like never before.
00:10:28.000I want to start first with you and just get your reaction to this news tonight.
00:10:34.000Yeah, well, it's a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI and also for the nation that depends on a highly functioning, professional, independent Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:10:50.000The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate.
00:10:58.000So I think what we should really be thinking about right now is what does this signal in terms of Donald Trump's intent for the FBI? The installation, or the nomination, I guess we should say at this point, of Kash Patel's FBI Director can only possibly be a plan to disrupt, to dismantle, to distract the FBI, and to possibly use it as a tool for the President's political agenda.
00:12:15.000He wants to see that agency continue to be weaponized against the American people.
00:12:19.000America voted for massive changes at the FBI and frankly everywhere else, and they're getting it with Kash Patel, who you have seen right here on this program time and time again.
00:12:32.000The FBI doesn't just need a little tidying up.
00:12:35.000It needs a complete and total overhaul.
00:12:39.000Remember guys, the swamp doesn't want transparency.
00:12:42.000They're very happy with the way things have gone for them.
00:12:46.000It's failed the American people, but they don't want accountability because they've weaponized everything that these agencies are supposed to be.
00:12:56.000They want to target parents at school board meetings, and they want to scare you into submission.
00:13:11.000We're moving full speed ahead because we're fed up with the business as usual where there's one rule for Democrats and one rule for the rest of us.
00:13:37.000It was a blanket pardon for crimes committed starting back in January of 2014. Hmm.
00:13:46.000January of 2014. Which just so happens to be around the same time that Hunter Biden joined the board seat of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.
00:14:08.000Huh, why would you need a pardon going back over 10 years?
00:14:13.000And also, guys, remember, around the same time that Joe Biden was caught on tape bragging about getting a prosecutor fired who was investigating Hunter and Burisma for corruption.
00:15:37.000This pardon, guys, this pardon isn't just about Hunter.
00:15:41.000It's about protecting the entire Biden crime family.
00:15:46.000It's about the money that they made during that period of time, the ill-gotten gains, the selling out of our country to enrich themselves under the guise of Joe's public service.
00:15:58.000And the media, they told us there'd never be such a pardon.
00:16:02.000Look at this graphic I posted from Politico that goes from, President says he won't pardon Hunter, to Biden issues pardon for son Hunter, to Republicans pounce.
00:16:14.000You know, Republicans are always pouncing.
00:16:16.000When Democrats get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, Republicans pounce on Biden pardoning his son Hunter.
00:16:22.000And the White House Press Secretary, Corrine Jean-Pierre, Was asked about that.
00:18:08.000The president has ruled out pardoning his son.
00:18:11.000Major commitment from the president, accepting the outcome of the trial and also pledging not to pardon his son.
00:18:18.000The challenge for him is really to continue to live up to his values when it was really personal, and he did that today.
00:18:24.000It seems like a pretty normal, straightforward answer, but it takes new weight when we see what Trump is saying about the outcome of his trial.
00:18:32.000What we're hearing from other Republicans who say they don't accept the jury's verdict here in New York.
00:20:08.000It sounds like we have bipartisan agreement on that.
00:20:11.000And we need Cash Mattel in the FBI to clean house, okay?
00:20:16.000They've been lying about this forever.
00:20:18.000Don't forget, this was Biden's DOJ that did this to Hunter because it's so obvious.
00:20:24.000It was Biden's DOJ that slow-rolled all of the other real and far worse crimes so that we got out of the statute of limitations, so they couldn't go after him for those things.
00:20:34.000The stuff they actually went after him for was a tiny little nothing, and he still pardoned him.
00:20:40.000When I say tiny little nothing, I mean, it's still a fragile crime.
00:20:44.000Just relative to the things they were actually doing, relative to the corruption that was actually taking place, it's almost nothing.
00:20:53.000Cash isn't the only cabinet member being picked on unfairly and maligned by the media.
00:20:59.000Pete Hexeth wants to reform the Pentagon, another place that's gone down the tubes, which is good at wasting taxpayer money.
00:21:54.000It's almost like they function above the law.
00:21:57.000Not only did they hide it from the public, again, guys, they hid it from the White House itself.
00:22:03.000As we say on this show, woke won't win wars.
00:22:07.000And it's time to end that insanity that's plaguing our military and our veterans.
00:22:13.000Because get this, folks, we're also uncovering more madness in the Biden's Veterans Affairs Department, including yet another.
00:22:23.000I don't know if you remember the montage we played for you, I guess it was last week or the week before, but yet another Bizarre, woke cartoon about gender identity and preferred pronouns.
00:23:19.000They, them, and their are gender-neutral pronouns that can be used by people who do not describe themselves as fitting into the categories of man or woman.
00:23:43.000That's great that they felt comfortable telling you.
00:23:46.000Okay, so let's start with the big picture.
00:23:49.000Every person has a birth sex and a gender identity.
00:23:53.000When you're born, you're assigned a sex at birth, usually by the person who delivered you.
00:23:58.000Typically, they just look at your body and decide your sex, male or female.
00:24:03.000Gender identity, on the other hand, is someone's personal sense of self as a woman, man, or another identity.
00:24:10.000For many people, the sex listed on their original birth certificate matches how they feel about their gender.
00:24:17.000For transgender and gender diverse people, it often doesn't.
00:24:24.000I know you are going to be as shocked as I am that this is where we're prioritizing stuff and why we seem to underperform in all of the wars that we've been in as of late.
00:24:34.000This is the stuff we're getting rid of on day one.
00:24:37.000And we have a new VA secretary coming in, Doug Collins, who thinks he can do just that and end this nonsense once and for all.
00:24:49.000In their final days, sources inside the VA tell us that the Biden bureaucrats appear to be doing everything in their power, everything they can do to create as many headaches as possible, and I guess perhaps punish our veterans for voting overwhelmingly for my father.
00:25:10.000Because we're told that the Biden's VA now wants to cut costs and reduce care by overhauling the community care network that my father championed in 2018 in the VA Mission Act.
00:25:23.000This program lets veterans get care outside of the VA system when they need it.
00:25:28.000Every veteran I know, especially ones who actually use the VA and need it desperately, It was an incredible program rather than having to drive 17 hours to the nearest thing and then wait in line for days away from home.
00:25:41.000Axios recently did a report where they outlined how, under Biden, the program is not delivering on key promises like reducing wait times, and that's according to fiscal data from 2022. Furthermore, sources tell us,
00:25:57.000and they show exclusively, that rather than fix the The issues, Biden VA leadership wants to reduce choice and overhaul the regional network to try to save a few bucks and presumably benefit their existing contractors.
00:26:31.000The swamp doesn't want to end endless wars.
00:26:35.000They don't want to stop the defense contractor handouts.
00:26:38.000No bureaucrats want to save money by cutting veterans options when it comes to health care, especially if they're the ones benefiting from it, even if it's failing veterans miserably.
00:26:50.000And they're fine with spending your money on a woke nonsense like the video we just saw while taking aim at programs that actually benefit veterans, heroes, patriots and warriors.
00:27:07.000We're going to keep digging because the swamp does have the teeth and we need to know exactly what we're dealing with on minute number one.
00:27:15.000But like I said, the good news is we're going to get to all of this and get it all on the right track on day one.
00:27:24.000And before we get to Mike Davis and closing arguments, we're held today in the Daniel Penny case.
00:27:32.000He's the guy who's on trial for saving fellow New York City subway passengers from a career criminal on drugs who was making death threats and engaging in violent behavior on a subway train back in 2023. Daniel Penney
00:28:30.000Did you miss deadlines to file for an extension?
00:28:33.000Don't get blindsided by the IRS and their heavy-handed tactics.
00:28:37.000You could face wage garnishment, frozen bank accounts, or even property seizures if you haven't taken action yet.
00:28:44.000So like I always say, I just want you to be prepared.
00:28:48.000Tax Network USA has helped taxpayers save over $1 billion in tax debt and has filed over 10,000 Visit TN, Tax Network, TNUSA.com slash Don Jr. for a free consultation.
00:29:03.000That's TNUSA.com slash D-O-N-J-R. Check them out.
00:29:09.000And with that, joining me now, Article 3 Project founder, Mike Davis.
00:29:17.000Mike, good to have you back on the show, buddy.
00:29:44.000As I told your dad, we will get him confirmed.
00:29:48.000He's going to have a battle in the Senate, but I think ultimately the Senate Republicans will all fall in line because they will see that Kash Patel is a highly qualified, highly competent A national security official.
00:30:07.000He was a national security prosecutor, including an award-winning national security prosecutor in the Obama Justice Department.
00:30:16.000So if the Obama Justice Department was giving him awards for his work, he can't be too bad.
00:30:23.000He worked on the House Intel Committee, a top aide to Devin Nunes, Cash played a big role in uncovering Crossfire Hurricane.
00:30:33.000He worked in the Office of Director of National Intelligence in a senior role.
00:30:37.000He worked on the White House National Security Council in a senior role.
00:30:41.000He was the Chief of Staff in the Pentagon.
00:30:43.000No one can say that Cash Patel is not qualified to serve as the next FBI Director, and that should be the standard For the Senate, the president gets to pick his team and as so long as his nominees are qualified and cash certainly is qualified,
00:31:01.000his nominees for the executive branch are qualified, the Senate should presumptively confirm those nominees unless those nominees are disqualified From their personal misconduct.
00:31:14.000And just because a senator may have a policy disagreement or a personality disagreement with a nominee, they should still vote to confirm the president's nominees.
00:31:24.000And if they're disqualified for some personal reason, it's the obligation of the senator to come forward with clear and convincing evidence That they're disqualified.
00:31:35.000Otherwise, they should vote to confirm these nominees.
00:31:39.000I know my former boss, Chuck Grassley, is going to make sure that Cash Patel gets a fair hearing on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
00:31:47.000I know Grassley's top staff is, they're huge fans of Cash Patel, and I expect Cash Patel is going to get confirmed and be the next FBI Director.
00:31:57.000Okay, so you obviously, and people who you just sort of said it, I mean, you've worked on these processes.
00:32:03.000You worked for Chuck Grassley, senator from Iowa, during my father's, I guess, last confirmation process when he was going through that.
00:32:11.000But what is that confirmation process like?
00:32:14.000Can you take us behind the scenes and how you see this playing out?
00:32:17.000Because you're right, a president is supposed to get to choose their cabinet.
00:32:21.000But, you know, I feel like, you know, Hopefully the new class are starting to get the old guard out, at least the old guards that don't understand the America First sort of movement and what my father has as a mandate from the American people.
00:32:35.000But it does not seem like they take that into account all that often.
00:32:40.000They do let personal vendettas or they're gunning for themselves or their buddy.
00:32:44.000Take us through that process and how do you get some of these guys across the line when you have, let's call it a three-seat A majority in the Senate.
00:32:52.000You can't really lose a lot of Republicans.
00:32:54.000And, you know, the Republicans, let's just say they don't do what the Democrats do and just get in line.
00:32:59.000I have a lot of experience working on nominations for a president.
00:33:03.000I worked in the Bush 43 White House on nominations.
00:33:07.000I worked in the Bush 43 Justice Department on nominations.
00:33:11.000I led Justice Gorsuch's outside confirmation effort when your dad nominated him to the Supreme Court.
00:33:19.000In 2017, and then I served as the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee for then chairman and returning chairman Chuck Grassley.
00:33:29.000My second day on the job is when I inherited the nomination hearing for Chris Wray for the FBI for the FBI. Everyone on both sides of the aisle was all spun up about Russian collusion, Russian collusion, Russian collusion.
00:33:46.000And I said at the time, this doesn't make sense.
00:33:53.000And people of course said, You know, the new guy must be a Russian asset because I dared to raise questions.
00:33:58.000But I think that what Senate Republicans can learn from this process, they made a big mistake last time, right?
00:34:05.000They made a big mistake when they allowed Democrats to hobble President Trump's presidency the first time with this Russian collusion nonsense.
00:34:15.000And this is the chance for Senate Republicans to fix this by confirming President Trump's nominees to the Justice Department.
00:34:24.000Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, John Sauer for Solicitor General, Kash Patel for FBI Director.
00:34:31.000Kash Patel is exactly who President Trump in this country needs.
00:34:35.000We had an election, a referendum On this weaponization of our law enforcement and intel agencies and President Trump won in a landslide.
00:34:45.000The American people heard the allegations, they heard the evidence against President Trump and the American people rendered our verdict on November 5th and they gave President Trump a mandate to bring sweeping reforms to the Justice Department,
00:35:01.000including the FBI. What needs to happen is this Kash Patel, I'm going to help him through this process through the Article III project along with Pam and Todd and John and anyone else who needs the help of the Article III project because we're going to make Damn sure the Senate votes to confirm these highly qualified nominees.
00:35:21.000So President Trump has the team in place for him to do with the American people elected him to do.
00:35:28.000President Trump doesn't pick Senate staffers and these senators should not pick his staff.
00:35:33.000As long as they're qualified, they should confirm them.
00:35:36.000And so what's going to happen is, is that Cash Patel will continue to meet with these senators privately.
00:35:46.000He's had top secret, sensitive compartmented information and secure access programs.
00:35:52.000He's had the highest levels of security clearance, so he's not going to have a problem with his background investigation.
00:35:59.000They'll have a public hearing for Cash.
00:36:02.000And then they'll have after the hearing those they'll send them questions to answer and then he'll they'll have a markup vote on the committee and then they'll vote them to the floor and then the Senate will vote to confirm him and we'll make damn sure that happens at the article 3 project.
00:36:18.000Mike, what exactly is the swamp so scared of when it comes to cash?
00:36:23.000I mean, if someone says he's going to do the things that are just part of that mandate, he still has to follow the law.
00:36:37.000I mean, isn't that something that America should want?
00:36:39.000And, you know, obviously, Democrats are going to do what Democrats do, but why do Republicans go in line, you know, go for them?
00:36:46.000They nominate, you know, Democrat people.
00:36:48.000They go, they back them, or at least some of us on the Republican side, they back the Democrats who, you know, I mean, they backed Eric Holder.
00:36:56.000You know, they backed Merrick Garland.
00:37:00.000Why is it so hard for us to get these things through?
00:37:03.000And what are they so afraid of with cash?
00:37:05.000Because I think they're afraid of the fact that these, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, they report to the President of the United States who's accountable to the American people.
00:37:16.000There's not an independent Justice Department.
00:37:19.000There's not an independent FBI. That is the most terrifying thought imaginable, that you have these agencies who think they're not accountable to the American people Through the duly elected president of the United States, they say the deep state is a conspiracy theory, then they actually come out and advocate for a deep state.
00:37:38.000They advocate for a Justice Department, unelected, unaccountable career bureaucrats and the FBI who are not accountable to the American people through the president of the United States.
00:37:50.000And what they're afraid of is that Kash Patel is going to go in there and clean out the corruption and the rot.
00:37:56.000At the FBI, particularly in the FBI's leadership, the director level, the deputy director level, the assistant directors, including the assistant directors in charge of the key field offices like the Washington field office and the New York field office and the field office down in Miami.
00:38:15.000There has been a corruption of the FBI. It started Under Obama it started with crossfire hurricane and it's on steroids now under Joe Biden and that's why they're terrified.
00:38:28.000They're terrified that someone like Kash Patel who actually knows where the dead bodies are buried and actually is a skilled competent highly qualified operator is going to go in there and clean up that mess.
00:38:43.000So, you know, related to that, do we know what's going on at the FBI at this hour?
00:38:48.000Can we demand that records be preserved?
00:38:50.000I imagine, you know, like we saw, I guess it was the DOJ, you know, industrial shredders being ordered.
00:38:56.000I mean, is there a way to conduct oversight between now and January to stop them from being able to hide the evidence of, you know, what seems very clearly to me was, you know, just gross malfeasance and injustice and an abuse of power?
00:39:11.000Yeah, I mean, if I were the FBI, I would be terrified as well that Kash Patel is going to be the next director, because remember what happens.
00:39:18.000Back in 2016, Hillary Clinton got caught with her illegal home server as the Secretary of State, and that not only had our nation's most classified secrets, it had the Clinton Foundation's pay-for-play foreign bribery schemes.
00:39:33.000The Clinton Foundation would take tens of millions of dollars From these shady foreign actors and maybe, just maybe, Hillary Clinton as the Secretary of State was doing favors in return for that.
00:39:56.000Maybe just maybe our worst enemies like China and Russia hacked her server and maybe they had that evidence.
00:40:03.000And maybe that's just why Hillary's campaign through Perkins Coie worked with the FISA courts, lied to the FISA court, spied on the Trump campaign, spied on the Trump presidency.
00:40:14.000So when this evidence came out before 2016, they can say it was a campaign dirty trick between the Trump campaign and the Russians.
00:40:26.000With Hunter Biden and the Biden family corruption, with the 51 former Intel officials coming out, working with the CIA, saying that Hunter's laptop from hell had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.
00:40:40.000They deplatformed America's oldest newspaper, the New York Post.
00:40:44.000Trump declassified Crossfire Hurricane the day before he left office.
00:40:49.000He said to get these out there, get this publicly released, the FBI ran to the White House to Mark Meadows and said, if you release these documents, Crossfire Hurricane declassified documents, you're going to violate the Privacy Act nonsense.
00:41:02.000So Mark Meadows, the day they left office in 2021, said, do your Privacy Act review and get out these documents.
00:41:13.000Look, they know that consequences are coming for this republic-ending lawfare, that they ran against your father, that they ran against his top aides, his family, his supporters on January 6th, who were politically persecuted, according to the Supreme Court's Fischer ruling in June.
00:41:33.000It's going to get delivered by Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel, and that terrifies These people and if they've done nothing wrong, it shouldn't terrify them.
00:41:45.000So, Mike, I got a question for you as it relates to the Hunter Biden pardon.
00:41:48.000I mean, he got a blanket pardon all the way back to 2014. I mean, over 10 years.
00:42:00.000Obviously, we knew they were going to do it.
00:42:02.000The media is going to tell us whatever they were going to do.
00:42:04.000And then Joe Biden was obviously going to pardon him once the election was out of the way and it was no longer going to affect him so they can play the holier than thou nonsense during an election period.
00:42:16.000Is this just the way to preserve the ill-gotten gains that the Biden family got from basically selling Joe Biden's influence around the world?
00:42:26.000Well, it just times perfectly with Joe Biden joining Burisma's board and doing Burisma's corrupt foreign bidding when Joe Biden was the vice president of the United States.
00:42:39.000It's amazing that this might be the longest and most broad pardon by a president in American history.
00:42:46.000We thought that the Ford pardon of Nixon was a pretty broad pardon.
00:42:55.000And it conveniently covers every possible crime by Joe Biden, by Hunter Biden.
00:43:01.000So I would say this though, Don, I think that Joe Biden is going to have to pardon the rest of his family before January 20th, because how the hell do they explain $23 million that House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has been able to find through subpoenaed bank records going to what seems like every Yeah,
00:43:30.000I mean, do you see anything with this?
00:43:32.000I remember the outrage when, you know, people started the rumor that my father was going to pardon me and the rest of our family just in case they continued their lawfare and did not.
00:43:41.000The silence from the media about this lie is, you know, it's fairly deafening.
00:43:47.000I mean, I think it's great in a sense that the American public finally understands exactly how broken and corrupt these people are.
00:43:55.000But do you remember that and how crazy that vitriol was?
00:43:58.000My father didn't even do it because ultimately we did nothing wrong.
00:44:01.000It doesn't stop them from going after us.
00:44:03.000It doesn't stop them from pretending we did and pretending that Russia, Russia, Russia was real.
00:44:09.000Yeah, I mean, how many times did you and Eric get subpoenaed and have to spend countless hours, countless days in these depositions and dealing with this legal BS by the Democrats?
00:44:22.000And then Hunter Biden Is the bag man for the Biden crime family?
00:44:52.000The fact that the media would cover it up this way, the fact that they're going to pretend it's not an issue, it's business as usual.
00:44:58.000This is somehow, I guess it's Biden's DOJ weaponized against Hunter.
00:45:02.000I mean, none of it really makes sense.
00:45:03.000But what role does that play in the minds of lawmakers or the American people?
00:45:08.000Or are they just going to turn a blind eye to it because that's what they've done for so long?
00:45:12.000So what needs to happen now that Hunter Biden has been pardoned, he doesn't face any federal criminal jeopardy between 11 years ago and yesterday.
00:45:23.000So I think that the House Republicans, maybe House Oversight Chairman James Culver should issue a subpoena immediately for Hunter Biden.
00:45:32.000He can't claim He can't assert his constitutional right under the, you know, his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination because he's been pardoned.
00:45:43.000And I think it's really important for the American people to understand if our president of the United States is compromised and how he's been compromised by $23 million To his family from these corrupt, shady, foreign actors.
00:45:58.000And maybe they need to do an intel assessment like the Biden Justice Department did to your father after they did an illegal home raid for presidential records your father was allowed to have in the Office of Former Presidents under the Presidential Records Act.
00:46:13.000And so, look, they always said nobody's above the law when it came to your father and his top aides and his family and his supporters.
00:46:21.000It seems like Hunter Biden's above the law.
00:46:24.000I mean, obviously he's been pardoned for the criminal activity.
00:46:27.000Do the Biden family, can they, because it feels like that's, you know, let's call it, you know, they went after, remember the word emoluments really well.
00:46:34.000Like, you know, if you enriched yourself, if we had a Trump hotel in Washington, D.C., if there was a foreign dignitary and they bought a cheeseburger, we literally had to have teams of accountants there to figure out what that profit was.
00:46:46.000We donated that to the Treasury along with my father's salary.
00:46:50.000But Does the pardon mean they can't figure out or go after the money that was clearly ill-gotten gains as well?
00:46:58.000They can get away with murder, so to speak, not just the criminal culpability of it?
00:47:03.000I don't know if a pardon applies to civil forfeiture.
00:47:06.000And, you know, the Biden Justice Department liked to bring novel legal theories against your father and his top aides and his supporters.
00:47:12.000So, you know, maybe we should bring this novel legal theory against Hunter Biden to get back the $23 million That the Bidens got from...
00:47:22.000Let's talk about the Trump Hotel in D.C. Remember, that was the old post office.
00:47:27.000It was a total dump and it was the Obama General Services Administration that awarded that lease to the Trump Organization.
00:47:36.000So, I mean, it's pretty amazing that Obama was in on this scam, apparently.
00:47:41.000Yeah, I mean, does this pardon, because I think it certainly does, but in your mind, what does this pardon do for what I think we should do on January 20th at 12 o'clock and one second, pardoning all the clearly non-violent J6ers who have had so many of their rights violated?
00:48:00.000I mean, does this negate I mean, it won't stop them, but does it negate the insanity that you'll see from the media when you do that for people who are nonviolent offenders who've been in jail for three years, four years without due process?
00:48:16.000I've always advocated that your dad should pardon almost all of the January 6th defendants immediately.
00:48:25.000And then for the people who were violent, commute their sentences down to a reasonable sentence.
00:48:30.000Nothing that happened on January 6 calls for a 22-year prison sentence, especially when the Biden Justice Department let the much more deadly and destructive BLM and Antifa rioters cause $2 billion in damage.
00:48:47.000Killed a dozen people and not a damn thing happens to them.
00:48:51.000You know, I'll start crying about what happened on January 6th.
00:48:55.000I'll start crying about Hornman scaring senators and their staffs hiding under their desk when the Biden Justice Department cares about BLM and Antifa.
00:49:05.000So, Mike, with all of that, what's the roadmap as you see it over the next month and beyond?
00:49:10.000You know, on the FBI specifically, Ray, will he have to resign or be fired?
00:49:16.000What's the process like beyond that, you know, for confirmation to some of the other guys?
00:49:23.000Because it seems like the people certainly don't want him there.
00:49:26.000But you already see the left sort of, you know...
00:49:29.000Getting in the trenches, trying to lock in these guys who are clearly against anyone who's America first.
00:49:34.000Just look at who they've targeted and who they've conveniently ignored and who they turned into terrorists and the actual terrorists they just let do their thing.
00:49:44.000What do you see happening there in the next month and beyond and let's call it in the first 100 days of my father's presidency?
00:49:52.000I would say to FBI Director Chris Wray, you could either bow out gracefully and move on to your next phase of your life, or you can get fired, and that will certainly get upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States under the President's Article II power in the Constitution.
00:50:10.000Under the statute, the FBI Director does not have a 10-year term.
00:50:15.000He has an up to 10-year term, and the reason Congress did that is because after J. Edgar Hoover, Congress did not want an FBI director in there for decades with entrenched power because it led to tyranny.
00:50:28.000So the president can hire and fire the FBI director anytime he wants.
00:50:33.000That's his Article II power into the Constitution.
00:51:09.000We have such a great team surrounding us.
00:51:11.000It's so much more important, frankly, that despite the hell that we went through for the last four years with sort of the weaponized government against us, We also have a unique opportunity that we're not just rolling over so many of the, you know, sort of failed bureaucrats, people that were hired because we didn't know any better, people that we were brought in there because, you know, someone told us that they're great and they have an R next to their name, but basically we're slow rolling my father's agenda.
00:51:36.000So, you know, he's working harder than ever because we're starting from scratch and that's actually a good thing You know, it would have been nice to not have to go through the last four years of hell.
00:51:45.000I'm sure they're going to come after us again, and that's what they're going to do.
00:51:50.000You know, and they're already setting up the things.
00:53:55.000So when I do, I like to be doing the outdoor things, not so much the golf.
00:53:59.000But I was following my father around over the weekend.
00:54:01.000I had my kids, his grandkids, and we were watching.
00:54:04.000And so, yeah, I posted a clip up, I guess, on my TikTok about my father.
00:54:10.000Playing golf, and he was talking about how good my daughter Kai is, and then talking about his other granddaughter, Chloe, who's 10, who's incredibly talented as well.
00:54:17.000He's like, that one may be the best of all.
00:54:20.000So I wasn't playing, but I took a Sunday to follow him around with my kids for a little bit and to watch, and then my kids were playing simultaneously.
00:54:27.000So it wasn't me playing, but it was cool just to be able to Get out there and do that.
00:54:35.000Is Laura going to run against Tillis and go blue girl?
00:54:40.000No, listen, I think if she did anything, obviously, I think it's going to be down in Florida where she lives now, you know, to do it out of state and to do all those things.
00:54:46.000I know she looked at it, possibly doing it last cycle.
00:55:20.000I know this stuff as it relates to sort of private boating and some of the salvage rules just because, like, you sort of have to learn some of these rules because, like, you could literally have, like, an engine go out and someone tows you in and all of a sudden they own you a boat.
00:55:32.000It's a little ridiculous, some of those things, but in terms of some of the bigger stuff as it relates to that, I'm just not the expert on it.
00:55:39.000I know enough to get myself into trouble, but if you had specific questions, I probably wouldn't be able to give you much on that one.
00:55:56.000She's actually named after her maternal grandfather, who was a Kai, but I think it's like Hawaiian word for water.
00:56:03.000It's got a bunch of different uses, but no, it was more of a family name that we really liked and worked, although I know, again, there's a Kai in Hawaiian.
00:56:13.000I think there's a couple of Kais in different Asian languages as well as some European stuff.
00:56:21.000Though, you know, maybe if Hawaii turns red, maybe we'll have to claim that as our own one day and say, you know what, it was maybe part of the thought process.
00:56:28.000So maybe, you know, Kai's mom had something to do with that, but it was more of a family name.
00:58:05.000Sorry, driving on a hard time with the, some of the, you know, when the words are all together, just trying to pronounce it, but thank you.
00:58:22.000Obviously, you know, brings a lot of controversy to that, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
00:58:30.000So do a lot of our picks, and I think for good reason, because we want people who are going to be a little controversial in the Swamp because the Swamp needs someone who will actually fight back against the Swamp.
00:58:51.000For the record, I have no plans on offing myself anytime soon.
00:58:56.000Definitely not going to commit Clinton's side.
00:58:58.000Doesn't mean they won't do it for me and try to make it look as such, but If I do end up dead for random causes and it appears to be suicide, like if I shoot myself twice in the head, it's not because I have an incredibly good trigger finger, folks, okay?
00:59:39.000Listen, I think he'd do something really well.
00:59:42.000Just sometimes I can't remember if we've actually announced some of these things, if we've just talked about them conceptually, if they're perhaps done but not yet announced.
00:59:51.000So I imagine Rick Grinnell will have a voice, and I think he's a great friend and great guy.
01:00:09.000Listen, I think crypto is going to be a big part of this next administration.
01:00:11.000We've got to make sure we're doing it in America.
01:00:13.000We've got to make sure that we own that, that we're the place where this kind of business goes for the future.
01:00:20.000That's a huge thing, so it's not bad at all.
01:00:24.000You know, I think crypto is going to be a really important part of this and we got to pick people who understand it, not let DC bastardize it so badly that it's, you know, that it's unworkable and, you know, forcing that, you know, what could be a trillion dollar, multiple trillion dollar industry offshore and out of the United States.
01:00:42.000So these are things I'm really, would definitely be focused on in some of our picks.
01:01:17.000Laura06, Don Jr. endorsed Dan Bongino.
01:01:19.000Like I said, I'd love Dan to do it, but I love Dan on Rumble.
01:01:21.000I love Dan with a microphone, not necessarily behind a desk.
01:01:24.000We can find, and I think there's definitely, and I see it from sort of the agents on the ground at Secret Service, many of whom I'm really good friends with.
01:01:31.000You know, these guys want change at the top.
01:01:34.000I won't give you their names because I'm sure there'd be reprisal, but like, whether it's Dan consulting, Dan talking to these guys, Dan doing it himself, like, you know, Dan's voice is so important.
01:01:43.000I want to make sure he's out there also fighting for these things.
01:01:45.000Let's find someone else who can do the job that needs to be done at the bureaucracy and go from there.
01:03:08.000And with that, guys, unfortunately, I have a hard out tonight because I have a dinner I got to go to with some people as it relates to transition.
01:03:14.000So I want to thank you guys all for being here.
01:03:16.000As always, check out our great sponsors.
