We are just one week away from the Inauguration and the Senate is moving full speed ahead on making sure these cabinet picks are confirmed. Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama will join us in just moments to bring us the latest. Plus, House Republicans are charting their path forward for this session of Congress. Then we ll get to the news rundown and bring you all of the latest out of California.
00:05:25.000We are just one week away from the inauguration and the Senate is moving full speed ahead on making sure these cabinet picks are confirmed.
00:05:36.000Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama will join us in just moments to bring us the latest.
00:05:42.000We've seen the insanity, what's going on in the beginning of this year.
00:06:28.000Remember, you can go to Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
00:06:31.000If you miss the show here on Rumble, make sure as many people as possible can see it.
00:06:36.000That's how we take down the mainstream media for all their lies and all of the nonsense.
00:06:40.000For all of the top headlines that we spotlight here on the show, go over, check out my news app, MXM News, where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
00:06:53.000We're told that my father's cabinet nominees are in perhaps their strongest positions yet, with the first confirmation hearing set to start tomorrow.
00:07:04.000And it's imperative, it's imperative, guys, that we get these nominees confirmed as quickly as possible.
00:07:12.000So to start with that, joining me now for the latest update in the Senate, Alabama Senator, our good friend, Coach Tommy Tuberville.
00:07:55.000And when you look at sort of the terrorist attacks that happened, whether it was New York or whether it was New Orleans, possibly even Las Vegas in the opening week, all the shadiness around there, I mean, that, to me, if anything, solidifies the mandate that my father needs and deserves to get his people actually in there.
00:08:16.000If there's people that want to argue about nuance, now is not the time.
00:08:20.000They can do that later on in the Senate.
00:08:22.000He has a mandate to be able to get his team to fight for him and the American people.
00:09:41.000With some Navy SEALs, you know, I know I was told that, you know, a bunch of guys, you know, literally, you know, Medal of Honor recipients and other incredible veterans that were out there today, you know, for Pete Hagfest and for that nomination for Secretary of Defense.
00:09:58.000Because to me, that to me is sort of the ultimate backing.
00:10:01.000If the door kickers, the guys getting it done, the real heroes are like, that's the guy that can lead the military for these next four years?
00:10:08.000That seems like it's everything to me.
00:10:10.000Yeah, they were warfighters, not warmongers.
00:10:26.000But what I like to hear is these people that had been under Pete, that had worked in the military with him, side by side, been in the fight, actually put a gun.
00:10:38.000Uh, in their arms and actually did something other than sit behind a desk and give orders.
00:10:44.000Pete is a guy with experience and just listen to one after other, not just men, but also women.
00:10:49.000You know, there's a big knock on Pete because of some things that were said in the past, but these women got up there and says, I would not trust anybody.
00:11:21.000We don't need a general in the Secretary of Defense.
00:11:24.000We need a drill sergeant, somebody that's going to be out there with a warfighter, side by side, other than in the Pentagon, walking around giving orders.
00:11:33.000Talk about how quickly you think the Senate can move on these nominations and how that process will play out from here.
00:11:40.000Again, you know, expedience is so critical.
00:11:42.000I want my father to get in there on January 20th at noon and just start running.
00:12:20.000Some hearings will be longer than others.
00:12:23.000You know, I'm fired up about all these picks that the president picked.
00:12:28.000RFK Jr., you know, and I told RFK Jr. this, I said, listen, I've got two boys that are 28 and 30, and what you talked about about a year ago about healthy food and...
00:12:41.000Getting back to the basics of health when it comes to our diets, my kids really enjoyed.
00:12:47.000They enjoyed listening to him, and so he is going to be an absolute outstanding pick for Health and Human Services.
00:12:54.000Looking forward to him, and of course, all of them.
00:12:56.000Pam Bondi is going to be a great choice.
00:13:10.000If they pretty much go 100% out of the Republican side, we'll get 100% vote out of the Republicans on the floor, which would confirm them.
00:13:20.000So they have to do a good job in the committee hearing.
00:13:23.000And when they do that, after that, I don't have any doubt that they'll be confirmed.
00:13:28.000So, Senator, we've heard a lot about these sort of, you know, FBI background checks.
00:13:33.000You know, I know the one on Pete Hegg says, you know, it came back and people quoted it as unremarkable, which shouldn't surprise us because, you know, again, everything else was pretty clearly a lie that they were talking about for a while, but it didn't stop them from running that.
00:13:47.000What role do you think, you know, they play in all of this at this point?
00:14:02.000Service report of all the things he had done.
00:14:06.000You can't believe the things that some of these colonels and generals wrote about him when he was in the military, the things he'd done in training, the things he did in terms of fighting in the times that he was...
00:14:23.000Working out in the bush and crawling in the grass and doing things that he needed to do to keep our country safe.
00:14:34.000I think that even the Democrats, when they start looking at this, are going, Houston, we could have a problem here if we're going to try to fight this guy that looks like he's a war hero.
00:14:44.000Yeah, I sort of, you know, I'd love it to be smooth sailing, but I do sort of want to watch the Democrat apparatus in Washington take on a guy that's supported by all these Navy SEALs, all these Rangers, all these incredible actual warfighters.
00:14:57.000Again, not bureaucrats or warmongers, as you so aptly put it.
00:15:00.000You know, Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.
00:15:04.000It's sort of like, wow, I'd like to see them take on, you know, those people and try to say that he's unfit or whatever nonsense that they were doing.
00:15:16.000May people understand the Democratic Party and where they stand perhaps better than anything.
00:15:20.000They can't come out against no qualifications.
00:15:23.000I can remember back four years ago when Joe Biden's nominees were coming through, lawyer here, accountant here, no experience in anything that they were supposed to be doing.
00:15:37.000But when we get with Pete, the thing that Pete obviously, and he'll sell this, Barack Obama in the eight years he was in office, He started all this DEI woke critical race theory nonsense in the military.
00:15:50.000I had two friends that came back about six months ago from all over the world.
00:15:54.000They'd been traveling, crawling through grass, mud.
00:15:58.000Protecting our country and other countries.
00:16:00.000They were Green Beret and they came back and the first week they were back they spent four days in DEI training after doing all the things that they needed to do for our country.
00:16:11.000So that's what we have to get straightened out.
00:16:12.000We have to understand that we've got to get back to training these young people to make sure that they understand that they're fighting for themselves and for our country.
00:16:21.000And right now, this military that they're trying to train through Joe Biden and Barack Obama, it's all about diversity and equity and division.
00:16:33.000Your dad tried to put it back together for the four years he was in, and they fought tooth and nail.
00:16:38.000And when Joe Biden went back in, he changed everything your dad did in the military.
00:16:42.000And we've got to start fast and furious and get back this young group that wants to fight for this country.
00:16:49.000Well, separately, I mean, you brought up DEI, but you also said you expect swift action on your bill to protect girls' sports, meaning women.
00:17:41.000Protection of Women and Girls in the Sports Act basically says no biological boy or man can participate against a woman, dress in a dressing room with a woman, or take a shower in a place of non-convenience.
00:17:56.000So at the end of the day, It's nonsense.
00:17:59.000I can't believe we're even talking about it.
00:18:01.000Now, I know your dad's probably going to come out in executive order and say enough's enough, but executive orders can be changed.
00:18:06.000That's the reason we have to fight to get it in the books to say you cannot do it as a law.
00:18:12.000But I know President Trump will stop it from day one.
00:18:16.000But again, we have got to fight to pass this, make it a true law to protect young women and girls over the course of being able to have a chance to do what men have done for the last 50 years.
00:18:30.000Title IX has been great, best thing that's happened up here, but they're trying to destroy Title IX because they hate gender.
00:18:37.000They want 100 different genders out there, Don, and it's a disaster.
00:18:42.000Do you have any Democrat support right now?
00:18:45.000You know, I lost Manchin, who was my only one.
00:19:06.000They're trying to burn the place on the way down, on the way out the door.
00:19:10.000But they've almost burned it down even before this point.
00:19:13.000But it has been a disaster for four years, and thank God we've got the Calvary's coming, and we can get everything going in the right direction.
00:19:23.000You know, right now, everything's just going the opposite of what it needs to go.
00:19:26.000Senator, I know you have votes, but I wanted to, before we go, obviously this is right in your wheelhouse.
00:19:32.000Next Monday is the college football national championship.
00:20:47.000Let us all, everyone watching, let us know what we need to keep the pressure on, you know, not just the Democrats, but even the, you know, let's call it the waffly Republicans who aren't always on board.
00:20:58.000Let's make sure we get that pressure on.
00:21:00.000We can get these confirmations done swiftly so that we can start leading and putting America first on day one.
00:21:28.000We're cutting through red tape to get you the meds you need fast, easy, with no interference.
00:21:34.000Whether it's ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, antibiotics, or other essential medications, they're fighting.
00:21:41.000For medical freedom and helping Americans bypass Big Pharma.
00:21:46.000They ship directly to your door in two to four days and also offer emergency overnight delivery.

00:22:04.000Again, that's allfamilypharma.com slash donjr, donjr, code Don Jr., 10. Now, this evening, Speaker Mike Johnson says he's supporting efforts to place conditions on disaster assistance for California in the wake of the destructive wildfires blazing in Los Angeles amid California's gross mismanagement of funds.
00:22:30.000And there's also reportedly discussions underway about potentially pairing the California disaster aid with a debt limit increase.
00:22:39.000Here to react to this and quite a bit more, Congresswoman from Florida's 13th District, Anna Paulina Luna.
00:23:23.000It feels like those people were left by the wayside.
00:23:26.000I think all Americans should be taken care of, but talk about this one specifically first, and then your reaction to, you know, sort of the lackluster response as it related to what happened to the hurricane victims in North Carolina.
00:23:38.000For many of you that might not know this, I actually grew up in Southern California, and I still remember when Southern California was actually a Republican state.
00:23:45.000And so what I'm seeing happening now is you're seeing a lack of management and really qualification.
00:23:51.000And as a result of that, you're seeing some of the horrible response from the county and local and state officials in regards to the wildlife impact.
00:24:01.000And not just that, but what happened with the wildfires.
00:24:03.000So my opinion, Dawn, I do think that this could have been better.
00:24:06.000If you had someone that knew what they were doing or you had a Governor DeSantis, for example, that was running the state.
00:24:12.000Now, we know that the media won't actually cover it, right?
00:24:15.000We know that the media doesn't want to be critical of Gavin Newsom.
00:24:18.000But what I will tell you is that you are correct.
00:24:21.000What we found out and actually in our oversight hearings is that...
00:24:24.000FEMA actually was openly discriminating and covering up, from what I found in my line of questioning, some of the cases in regard to them denying claims for supporters because they were either conservative or had Trump flags or signs in their lawns, at least in Florida.
00:24:38.000And then also, too, a whistleblower said that that was happening in other states like North Carolina as well.
00:24:43.000And so I do think that Johnson is correct, though, that this will be tied to certain things that the state of California has to be done.
00:24:55.000They like to blame it on climate change.
00:24:57.000Meanwhile, they're shelling literally millions of dollars to places like Ukraine and then saying that they can't help victims in North Carolina.
00:25:04.000So it is interesting to see how that perspective is with this administration.
00:25:10.000But the incoming administration, your dad's administration, is going to fix all of that.
00:25:15.000You know, we can't get into people who lost everything, houses, loved ones, their businesses, you know, in North Carolina, but we can pass a bill to send another couple hundred million dollars to Ukraine overnight.
00:25:24.000But we also saw Democrats actually directing their followers to support the relief efforts in California by going to Act Blue.
00:25:33.000I mean, the Democratic fundraising apparatus, like, is that even...
00:25:56.000Now, what is interesting is with the new PlatformX, we have community notes.
00:26:00.000And so to see people like Elizabeth Warren and even Gavin Newsom being...
00:26:04.000Corrected in real time, and then obviously they weren't able to raise as much.
00:26:08.000But it's completely unethical because you have people that are low information, low propensity, people that might not necessarily think that they're donating to the Democrat fundraising platform, but that's exactly what they're doing.
00:26:20.000It's nothing that I'm surprised by anymore, though, Don.
00:26:24.000And as you stated in some of those hearings, I mean, if they do it from their personal accounts, it's one thing, but they are pretty sneaky in regards to fundraising money in that sense.
00:26:32.000Yeah, it seems like they were pretty sneaky as it relates to some of the election stuff, so hopefully we'll get to the bottom of that too.
00:26:40.000I've talked a lot about this broader new MAGA coalition that's going on.
00:26:45.000People from all different walks of life, different political alliances getting together to try to put America first and actually get this agenda that my father wants done past.
00:26:54.000How does that translate to the work that you're doing in Congress?
00:26:58.000What do you see as the first items of business?
00:27:03.000Well, you know, having the White House and Senate really does bring a new perspective to Congress as a whole, because a lot of what we're doing now and that we pass, we know that the Senate will likely also put on your dad's desk and it'll actually get signed into law.
00:27:17.000You know, when we had Democrats controlling the Senate, they were really denying a lot of what we were sending up from Congress.
00:27:22.000And so, you know, a lot of our priorities is, A, going to be securing the border, but then also, too, we have to make sure that we raise the debt ceiling and that we have, you know, these talks and reconciliation.
00:27:35.000You know, unfortunately, what happens If Democrats see a leverage point and they can force a Republican administration into negotiating with them, they will extract and extort, in my opinion, certain demands so that they can get legislation passed.
00:27:50.000So it's really going to be, I think, a test of the House majority, whether or not we can get along and deliver on the president's agenda.
00:27:55.000So as you see, Don, we have people from all different factions of Congress, whether it's the moderates, whether it's the more hardliners and conservatives like the House Freedom Caucus, or whether it's some of those more libertarian-leaning members that are going to be delivered.
00:28:11.000But if I could just put something in perspective, Dawn, I actually just had a whistleblower come forward and put two very different stories on my table, right?
00:28:20.000Said that during the Trump administration, he had a little girl that was basically adopted.
00:28:25.000Her parents were suicide bombers that were Taliban, and so the MARSOC went in, rescued this little girl.
00:28:31.000She came to the United States, and the first Trump admin actually helped to fight for her to stay here in the States.
00:28:37.000Joe Biden's State Department and administration knowingly put this little girl in harm's way, actually deported her back because they were trying to spite the previous Trump administration.
00:28:48.000As a result of this, Don, this little girl was actually sexually assaulted.
00:28:52.000So my office is taking on this case, and we found...
00:28:54.000We found out that the State Department was covering this up and trying to now currently release this little girl into the custody of a known person on the terrorist watch list in the United States.
00:29:05.000And so when I tell the American people that there are two very, very different administrations that I've had the opportunity to serve under in Congress, and I look forward to your father's agenda because of what I'm seeing in regards to exposing corruption and actually fixing a lot of these problems that we're seeing.
00:29:24.000Congress's job just doesn't stop at voting.
00:29:26.000We have to ensure that we are helping President Trump eliminate the deep state that's currently worked against not just the American people, but has largely been responsible for putting innocent people in harm's way.
00:30:29.000What's happened in these hearings and where does it go from here?
00:30:32.000So this is a very long conversation, but to summarize it and put it in perspective, when I got into Congress my first term, part of my purview and perspective being in the military, and that's where I really first heard about this, was from pilots that had an encounter while flying when I was stationed at the Portland Air National Guard.
00:30:50.000But part of this is related to national defense.
00:30:54.000I have MacDill Air Force Base right in my backyard.
00:30:57.000So I had an interest in it from that perspective as a military member and then also national security.
00:31:02.000But really where I... Honed in my interest is when I was approached by Representative Matt Gates and Tim Burchett in regards to two whistleblowers that came forward at Eglin Air Force Base, said that the Air Force had information and that they were essentially covering it up.
00:31:17.000So I, of course, went up there being a member of House Oversight.
00:31:21.000And when I tell you, Dawn, that I was essentially men in black with not just Representative Gates, but also Representative Tim Burchett, and that we were denied information as members of Congress.
00:31:54.000What I can tell you is in my investigations and just looking at it from a mathematical perspective, I do not believe that we are the only life form that exists in galaxies.
00:32:04.000But what I can tell you is From what I'm seeing, the way that the U.S. government has been handling this information, almost as treating the people as if we're stupid, I think that that's inappropriate.
00:32:15.000You know, what's interesting, Dawn, is that this has been the biggest push.
00:32:18.000I'm not just in the House, but in the Senate.
00:32:23.000So we have people from, you know, people that I don't really like, like Adam Schiff to Marco Rubio, who's our new incoming Secretary of State.
00:32:30.000And so there are a lot of people that realize that the information that we've obtained, the information brought forward by whistleblowers, to include also documented declassified evidence from the Pentagon, says that there is something out there.
00:32:42.000And so, you know, not to be a tin hat wearing conspiracy theorist, I'm just going on facts and what I've been able to deliver.
00:32:48.000But what I can tell you is based on my research, it is real.
00:32:50.000I think the American people know that, but I think they want the U.S. government to admit that.
00:32:54.000So here's to, I guess, the first omission that it's real.
00:32:57.000Yeah, no, I sort of feel like, you know, again, for the last few months, you've seen some of the videos, you've seen some of that evidence, and it's like the world got so chaotic under Joe Biden, the administration, people struggling just to get by, us entering wars, the Middle East going to hell, that like it was all of a sudden like, hey, here's all this like pretty, you know, this great evidence that UFOs.
00:33:17.000People are like, I'm too busy to worry about that right now.
00:33:19.000I feel like at any other time in history, this would have been the biggest story in the history of the world.
00:33:23.000And yet, the chaos sown by the Biden administration and their failures, it almost was like, ah, we'll get to that later on.
00:33:33.000Well, you know, what's interesting is we actually did coordinate those hearings.
00:33:37.000So, I mean, we started the hearings in oversight.
00:33:39.000A lot of people, Don, didn't want to touch it.
00:33:41.000They thought that if they really addressed the topic of UAPs that they would be kind of deemed as weirdos and lose their political careers.
00:33:48.000But we actually had, I think it was one of the largest viewed and biggest audience hearings in congressional history.
00:33:53.000And then the second hearing that we had, we just wanted to reaffirm and provide more evidence.
00:33:58.000Now, look, there's going to be both good and bad actors, especially in this space, because I think that there's a lot of...
00:34:02.000But I'm telling you, just based on what I found through government documents, Operation Paperclip, Operation Blue Book, these are all declassified programs that the U.S. government had.
00:34:53.000It's a shame, though not surprising, that even congressional oversight would be stonewalled.
00:34:59.000And again, I hope we can get rid of those roadblocks, because I think the American people need to know these things, and I think they also need to know where their money is being spent and or wasted.
00:35:08.000I think that transparency is going to be such a huge part of this administration.
00:35:12.000Once people understand just how bad some of these decisions are, just how bad the waste, fraud, and abuse is, They'll actually get involved and stop voting for it.
00:35:22.000You know, when they think, hey, everyone's operating in good faith, once they realize that's not the case, I think we can actually get a lot done.
00:35:29.000Yeah, you know, I'll just say this because I don't know how long the segment is, but look, I've been told that because I voted down FISA, for example, that had this, you know, a section in it that was not in the best interest of the American people needs to be reformed, right?
00:35:43.000Section 702. That I was not being a team player.
00:35:46.000And I would respond that, you know, I serve the team of the American people in the Constitution.
00:35:51.000And so, look, this place can be reformed.
00:35:54.000I think your dad proved that there's a lot of good people that have been elected.
00:35:58.000And even just comparing two years ago to now, there is change that's occurring in Washington.
00:36:03.000And it's a breath of fresh air because I can tell you that when I first got up here, it was pretty hard to stomach some of the stuff that we were saying.
00:36:10.000But again, that only happens when people choose to get involved and get engaged.
00:36:14.000And what I will finish with this, Dawn, is that if you can watch the hearings and some of the evidence that we presented, look at what Congress has submitted into the archives.
00:36:22.000And frankly, I'm gonna be starting the Ancient Civilizations and Archaeology Caucus.
00:37:09.000Yeah, of course, for incoming freshmen members, you have Brandon Gill, Abe Hamide.
00:37:13.000I mean, a lot of people that your dad endorsed were people that would deliver on the America First agenda and also, too, weren't from Washington, weren't from D.C., didn't, you know, engineer their entire lives to run for office, but simply stepped up because it was the right thing to do, which is more of what we need in Washington.
00:37:27.000But also, too, it's not just at the congressional level, right?
00:37:30.000Like, we can pass great legislation, but if we don't have people that will enforce the pieces of legislation and these different...
00:37:37.000Appointed positions, that's also where you'll see the blockades.
00:37:40.000And so having people like Tulsi Gabbard, like Pete Hegseth, like Kash Patel that will be getting confirmed, mind you, tomorrow, even though they're going to be putting them through the gauntlet, they're going to be getting confirmed and can do kind of a top-down overhaul of some of these departments, that also helps.
00:37:55.000And so we really have two years to push through, and I think push through legislation that will change this country for generations to come.
00:38:03.000I know that we have a very slim majority, and so I just...
00:38:06.000Ask all of our Republican colleagues to work together and listen to President Trump's message, right?
00:38:10.000When we were down there this weekend, President Trump had many members of Congress listen to what they had to say.
00:38:16.000But name me one other Republican president that's done that.
00:38:19.000No one's done it from what I can remember.
00:39:08.000If you see some of the Republicans get weak-kneed because they'd rather cater to Democrats or Washington establishment media rather than doing what their constituency wants, hold them accountable.
00:39:21.000When we put on that pressure, We can move mountains.
00:39:24.000But what are your top priorities for the first 100 days?
00:39:28.000So I'd say the top thing really to allow the president and his administration to deliver on the campaign promises to the American people to include border security and all that is we are going to have to raise the debt ceiling.
00:39:40.000And we are going to have to do that via reconciliation, meaning we are going to have to find savings for the American people, but also increase so that there is funding available for the incoming administration.
00:39:50.000So if you think of the U.S. government kind of like a corporation or a business, what's currently happening is there's a lot of spending.
00:40:08.000Number two, though, would be we have to stop what's happening with illegal immigration in this country.
00:40:13.000You know, not to scare people, but the U.S. government under Joe Biden knowingly released individuals on the terrorist watch list into U.S. territory, meaning that they are here, they are in your backyard.
00:40:35.000And also, we are not a true nation if we don't have borders.
00:40:37.000And so we have to ensure that our borders secure.
00:40:39.000And then I would say from a very important but the number three thing that we have to do, obviously, top priority would be ensuring that our foreign policy is squared away.
00:40:51.000We really do have a threat that China will invade Taiwan.
00:40:54.000Not just that, but we also have Russia and Ukraine.
00:40:57.000Obviously, us sending millions of dollars unaccounted for to Ukraine is not sustainable, not just for the world.
00:41:04.000And so, having your father, A, open up dialogues and discussions with world leaders.
00:41:09.000Which not to throw shade at the current administration, but I don't think that those discussions were being had.
00:41:14.000And I say that because of what you're seeing happen on the world stage currently with other countries that are knowingly and outright disrespecting the United States.
00:41:23.000And then also to delivering on the campaign promises of dealing with this inflation, this administration currently under Joe Biden, the way that they spent, the way that they managed the economy, it's really not good.
00:41:34.000I think the incoming administration is walking into a dumpster fire, but I have faith that they will be able to...
00:41:39.000Sort out everything and turn the ship around.
00:41:42.000Well, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, thank you so much.
00:41:45.000I look forward to seeing you in D.C. later on this week, but appreciate all you're doing, and we'll see you then.
00:43:11.000As Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hexeth, my friend, great guy, true American hero, has his hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
00:43:21.000We already know what the attack from Democrats will look like.
00:43:26.000Elizabeth Warren sent Pete Hegseth a deranged, truly deranged, letter last week that was filled with pathetic smears and weak attacks.
00:43:36.000For example, Warren attacked Hegseth for wanting to fire the generals that were behind the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
00:43:45.000Consequences for failure are a big no-no in Washington, you would think.
00:44:23.000Literally, he has the same tattoo that was on the cover of Jimmy Carter's funeral memo, whatever they call it.
00:44:31.000I mean, it's literally the same thing, but they were trying to call him a Nazi for it.
00:44:36.000I mean, this is how deranged the Democrats got.
00:44:39.000She wrote, We cannot have a defense secretary whose fellow service members feel concerned enough about it to report it as a potential insider threat.
00:45:35.000You'd think they wouldn't push this line of attack, but it doesn't stop them because the hypocrisy from the Democrats knows no bounds.
00:45:43.000Meanwhile, Biden and his handlers continue to be delusional.
00:45:48.000Biden somehow thinks he would have won the election.
00:45:51.000Seriously, guys, like, Joe Biden getting lost on stages, can't remember where he is, can't remember who he's talking to, falls up and down stairs all day long, thinks he would have won the election.
00:46:24.000I thought it was important to unify the party.
00:46:29.000And when the party was worried about whether or not I was going to be able to move, I thought, even though I thought I could win again, I thought it was better to unify the party.
00:46:38.000And I had it was the greatest honor of my life to be president of the United States.
00:46:44.000But I didn't want to be one who caused a party that wasn't unified to lose an election.
00:47:11.000I mean, if she could have won, why didn't she?
00:47:14.000If he was so confident, he should have stayed in the race.
00:47:19.000No one in the Democrat Party thought he could do that, and I think anyone watching at home didn't even look at that debate as the bloodbath it was.
00:48:16.000Let's get something in mind about the border.
00:48:19.000When I became president, the numbers came way down, number one.
00:48:23.000Number two, we had a circumstance where I pushed very hard for a bipartisan agreement to put more people on the border, more secret services.
00:48:40.000Yeah, so again, I don't know if too many Secret Service agents on the border, not exactly their job.
00:48:45.000You would think that Biden, who is a protectee of the United States Secret Service and has been for quite some time, including as VP for eight years prior to this, would actually know that.
00:48:54.000But it will not surprise you that Biden clearly doesn't know anything.
00:48:58.000Biden's top national security aide, Jake Sullivan, is also on a farewell tour.
00:49:03.000He says that Biden's legacy is that the United States is in a stronger...
00:49:08.000More secure position than when they took office.
00:49:28.000I mean, these people have security clearances and they'll lie to your faces.
00:49:31.000Maybe we've got to revoke all of those along with the 51 people that signed the letter.
00:49:35.000Saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:49:39.000Like, why don't we start with all of those people and some of the warmongers and others who profit off of their security clearances that don't actually need security clearances?
00:49:48.000Let's just get rid of all of those on day one.
00:49:50.000But no wonder CNN's ratings are awful.
00:49:54.000There's not too many people left that can sit through being lied to to their face like that anymore.
00:50:05.000But in other news, the New York Times finally admitted the obvious.
00:50:10.000In a column this weekend, the New York Times editorial board wrote, quote, the current surge in immigration will slow the pace of wage growth for Americans without college degrees over the next few years.
00:50:23.000So far, for the past four years, they've been fact-checking anyone, anyone, that says Biden's open borders are hurting American workers.
00:50:51.000People that are like us, other people on Rumble that are talking about real news, that are willing to have these conversations, that have been saying stuff like this, frankly, for months and years.
00:52:56.000I did what I thought I could do, and that's what I did.
00:53:01.000You know, I've read a lot about, you know, I guess Stewart and Linda Resnick controlling all of the water and they have some sort of, you know, perhaps closeted pack with the governor and Democrat policy to allow them to profiteer from this while not allowing the water to go where it's needed, especially in emergency.
00:53:17.000And Gavin Newsom, well, he's now claiming that he's ready to build his own Marshall Plan to rebuild Los Angeles.
00:53:25.000But he was asked about the details of that plan.
00:53:41.000I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of conspiracy theories floating out there because of everything else we've seen over the last nine years.
00:53:48.000And I imagine the most nefarious of those will probably be exactly right.
00:53:57.000We already have a team of looking and reimagining LA 2.0, and we're making sure everyone's included, not just the folks on the coast, people here that were ravaged by this disaster.
00:54:07.000You just said you're organizing a Marshall Plan for the rebuilding of California.
00:54:25.000We're starting to organize how we can put together a collection of individuals on philanthropy for recovery, how we can organize the region, how we can make sure that we are seeking federal assistance for the Olympics more broadly, but also federal assistance for the recovery efforts, and how we can galvanize the community with folks that love this community to really develop a mindset.
00:54:49.000So that at scale, we're dealing with the scope of this tragedy and responding to it at scale with efficiency like the executive order I talked about, time value of delivering projects, addressing building codes, addressing permitting issues, and moving forward to rebuilding and being more resilient.
00:55:08.000Yeah, when he talks about that, in my mind, I think I know what's going to happen.
00:55:15.000Obviously, the lack of insurance has made it impossible.
00:55:19.000The permitting process, even if you wanted to rebuild, even if you could get permits, even if they fast track all of those things, there's not going to be enough contractors to rebuild all of this.
00:55:27.000And so someone's going to swoop in and buy all of that real estate in some of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the world.
00:55:31.000They're going to turn it into tenement housing.
00:55:33.000Because remember, you know, you can hear the lines essentially about inclusivity and yada, yada, yada.
00:55:40.000And Americans are going to be left by the wayside while they make and continue to build their dystopian communist paradise in California.
00:55:50.000You know, they'll move just enough red tape that one or two people can maybe rebuild or if they know someone, but everyone else is going to get screwed.
00:55:56.000But guys, the fire threat is still intensifying.
00:56:01.000This evening, this evening, the National Weather Service has issued a particularly dangerous situation warning for large swaths of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, cautioning of wind gusts ranging from 45 to 70 miles per hour.
00:56:17.000Dry air and a higher risk of rapid fire spread and extreme fire behavior.
00:56:24.000This is still very much an active threat and we continue to pray for all those enacted, especially the incredibly brave firefighters and first responders that are there on the ground doing these things, right?
00:56:39.000We cannot and should not, and if it even appears that I'm doing this in any way, shape, or form, I want to make sure...
00:56:46.000We do have to separate out, like I do when I talk about the FBI, like I do when I talk about the military.
00:56:52.000The bureaucrats at the top, the people who make the decisions and have failed so badly in this response, that's not the same as the guys on the ground actually doing that work.
00:57:03.000These people are heroes, and we've got to pray for them.
00:57:06.000All of those who may have lost everything or lost loved ones, we have to get this fixed.
00:57:12.000But we also have to make sure when my father gets in there, We're just not working to fix what's going on in California.
00:57:18.000But we don't forget those people around the rest of the country who suffered tragedies, who suffered losses that you couldn't fathom, like North Carolina.
00:58:57.000And hopefully, the people who made those decisions that failed their constituency so badly, hopefully, they face some sort of accountability.
00:59:09.000You hate to have to see this kind of tragedy happen for people to understand just how incompetent their leadership is, but perhaps that's what it takes.
00:59:18.000So how can you rebuild if it takes 10 years to pull a permit?
00:59:22.000Left-wing donors will try to buy them off.
01:00:02.000It makes me believe what I said a few minutes ago, which is, hey, some big guy, whether it's BlackRock or something like that, is going to come in there, they're going to buy all the real estate, and they're going to put up tenement housing.
01:00:15.000Make sure that we get good waterfront housing for...
01:00:18.000And, you know, they'll write a small check to those who lost everything to get the hell out, and they're going to permanently transform California into a dystopian hell.
01:01:10.000But we understand what it's like dealing with the California Coastal Commission and these sort of agencies that just put up endless roadblocks.
01:01:32.000You know, they can say they're going to get rid of some of it, but if you get rid of 80% of it, the remaining 20 is still probably draconian.
01:01:41.000So would I ever want to build property in Malibu?
01:01:43.000You know, I think I'd have a hard time doing that.
01:01:45.000I think we used to build in some of the more liberal cities in this country.
01:01:49.000Once we put an R next to our name, that was over.
01:01:52.000So, you know, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
01:01:56.000Perhaps they need competent developers.
01:01:59.000But honestly, at this point for us, even if you had a great opportunity and even if it was good for the people and if it was right, it's probably not even worth looking at because they'd say we're profiteering from other people's pain.
01:02:12.000Only their cohorts and other Democrat donors will jump in there.
01:02:16.000They'll profit a lot from other people's pain and we'll be watching that play out.
01:02:20.000So probably not worth getting involved.
01:02:38.000It's hard for firefighters to fight fires with battery-powered chainsaws.
01:02:43.000Listen, I'll run a battery-powered chainsaw for certain things, and it's great.
01:02:47.000If you have power, I usually leave one in my truck or something like that because I can recharge it on the go.
01:02:52.000I have four or five batteries, but if you're doing it full-time, day in, day out, you're cutting your large diameter trees, a small battery-powered chainsaw is probably not going to do that.
01:03:03.000They sent shipments of battery-powered chainsaws.
01:03:05.000The only problem is they had no power.
01:03:08.000It's really hard to charge a battery-operated machine of any sorts if you have no actual power.
01:03:17.000That's when some of the insanity really comes to mind.
01:03:20.000I don't know what exactly they're doing with California and that one, because it seems like at least they have powers or generators or enough to do this.
01:03:27.000In North Carolina, they didn't, and it didn't stop them from sending it because, well, because we know why.
01:03:34.000How can we stop foreign bad actors like the CCP from buying the land?
01:03:38.000Can there be an executive order to stop this?
01:03:41.000I'm sure there can be an executive order to stop some of those things, but the reality is, I think we want to, like we talked about with Senator Tubbleville as it relates to the men playing in women's sports and stuff like that, I think we actually just want to codify that into law.
01:03:58.000Again, you don't want to take advantage of these dire times to try to get common sense, but maybe we have to.
01:04:07.000Maybe the pendulum is corrected so far that People will finally say, okay, we actually just have to do these things.
01:04:13.000So when China's buying up all this farmland, when they already control all our antibiotics supply, when they're going to control or want to control Taiwan, which controls all the microchips and microprocessors, that doesn't work.
01:04:26.000So we ought to actually not just do that through executive order.
01:04:28.000Maybe we start the process where you can't buy it through sort of these phony shell entities so that...
01:04:33.000Oh, yeah, no, it's a Delaware entity that owns it, but it's owned by the CCP. It all happens to be near our military bases so they can spy on us.
01:04:44.000Maybe we started off with executive orders, but the reality is I think we have to codify that into law and just stop it from happening all together.
01:04:53.000So, guys, with that, we have a great week.
01:04:56.000I'm going to be probably trying to do some random shows, maybe not.
01:05:00.000On time, with everything going on around the inauguration on Monday, it's going to be pretty insane.
01:05:04.000But I know you're going to want to see that, even if it's just me yakking about what I'm seeing or what I'm able to capture with my phone along the way.
