Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Rep Ronny Jackson Reveals New Details on Fauci, Biden's Cognitive Decline | TRIGGERED EP. 17

00:00:00.000 You You

00:00:30.000 Guys welcome back and welcome to another episode of triggered

00:00:35.000 I believe it's episode 17, and this one's going to be a hot one because we have Admiral Dr.

00:00:43.000 Congressman Ronnie Jackson, the former head of the White House Medical Unit.

00:00:48.000 And we're going to be discussing Joe Biden's cognitive decline, Fauci's failures, woke medicine, and what he's going to do about it in Congress.

00:00:58.000 So that's going to be pretty hot and it's going to be pretty important because we have to understand this from someone, A, who understands actual medicine, seemingly unlike Fauci, but also someone who's seen Joe Biden throughout the years, has witnessed the actual decline, and someone who has the guts to We're good to go.

00:01:36.000 Far-left Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is going after President Donald Trump, my father, on bogus charges.

00:01:44.000 Now, this prosecution isn't based on facts, or the law, or anything that even resembles that.

00:01:53.000 It's pure Bolshevik-style witch-huntery. 0.82

00:01:57.000 And you're gonna see why.

00:01:59.000 Here's law professor Jonathan Turley laying it all out.

00:02:05.000 They literally dug up a claim, a theory from 2016, a theory that the Department of Justice decided did not warrant prosecution.

00:02:16.000 And Bragg's own predecessor, of course, did not bring this case.

00:02:21.000 And so it's really something that is rather patently obvious as a political prosecution, in my view.

00:02:28.000 It's a very weak case legally.

00:02:33.000 Bragg is trying to try a federal campaign finance case in local court.

00:02:40.000 Like, the feds decided to pass on it.

00:02:43.000 The same feds who went after Trump for like eight years trying to do it.

00:02:49.000 The hot take on Twitter was that these guys are trying to do this. 1.00

00:02:53.000 This was the hot, stupid take on Twitter over the weekend, like the dumbest take ever. 1.00

00:02:57.000 They're trying to do this to make sure Trump's the nominee. 1.00

00:03:00.000 Like they weren't trying to put him in jail for the last eight years.

00:03:04.000 Like they didn't accuse me and the rest of my family of treason and other things.

00:03:09.000 It makes no sense.

00:03:11.000 The statute of limitation also appears to have run out, but who really gives a crap about law when you're weaponizing your office in a leftist state and where everyone there agrees with you?

00:03:25.000 The Washington Post of all places.

00:03:28.000 The Amazon. Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post.

00:03:33.000 Like where, you know, where logic and common sense go to die.

00:03:38.000 Even they say the case has legal experts scratching their heads.

00:03:44.000 Despite, again, eight years of witch hunts and the Russia-Russia hoax and going after him there, even the feds didn't pursue the issue.

00:03:52.000 I've heard from people that have said even in the radical leftist district attorney's office in New York, most of the prosecutors there don't know what the hell to do about this because even they...

00:04:06.000 Like, the most radical of the radical left realize that it's insane.

00:04:12.000 Even they are worried about the precedent.

00:04:16.000 As much as they hate Trump, even they are actually concerned about the law and maybe a little bit of the Constitution these days.

00:04:23.000 And I understand the Democrats don't care about that unless they can lie about it or weaponize it to their benefit.

00:04:28.000 But even they, I'm hearing, are shocked.

00:04:31.000 And now, after years of nonsense, this is what they've got?

00:04:36.000 This is where they land?

00:04:38.000 And, guys, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trump already beat Stormy Daniels in court?

00:04:44.000 Like, in all fairness, like, isn't she, like, paying his legal bills or something like that?

00:04:50.000 I don't know. But, you know, the district attorney is going to district attorney, right?

00:04:54.000 The Soros-funded district attorneys are going to do whatever the guy that's bankrolling them wants them to do.

00:05:02.000 The law be damned. 0.97

00:05:03.000 The Constitution be damned. 0.99

00:05:06.000 Your rights be damned. 0.99

00:05:07.000 Because, you know, when you hate America, what difference does it make? 0.98

00:05:11.000 This is like the Soviet secret police. 0.97

00:05:14.000 Here's even a Never Trumper like Dana Perino on Fox talking about just how ridiculous it is. 0.57

00:05:22.000 What does this say to the rest of the world?

00:05:24.000 We do a lot on democracy efforts around the world in order to make sure that people understand it's okay to respect your opposition.

00:05:31.000 You don't need to pursue them.

00:05:32.000 This seems to be so contrary to that.

00:05:35.000 What a way to make history. Yeah, it's banana republic stuff if it's not a very strong case. 0.97

00:05:41.000 And it's not a very strong case.

00:05:43.000 Guys, if it was a very strong case, the feds would have pursued it because they want to get their name in the lights. 0.99

00:05:49.000 They want the headlines and the grandeur that comes along with going after Trump, just like the lunatics on the unselect January 6th committee, just like the idiots who tried the Russia, Russia, Russia impeachment, just like all of them. 0.99

00:06:07.000 They want their name in the headlights. 1.00

00:06:09.000 And this is going to be the case?

00:06:11.000 You think this is now they finally got him?

00:06:14.000 But perhaps what's most wild and what's most disappointing is that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis doesn't seem to think that this is a real issue.

00:06:26.000 Right? The guy that's supposed to be MAGA and all these people are saying, here's what he said in his own words.

00:06:33.000 Check it out. here in the state of Florida.

00:06:38.000 We're obviously shutting down CBDC, which is important.

00:06:41.000 We've got so many things pending in front of the legislature.

00:06:44.000 I've got to spend my time on issues that actually matter to people.

00:06:48.000 I can't spend my time worrying about things of that nature.

00:06:53.000 So we're not going to be involved in it in any way.

00:06:58.000 DeSantis doesn't want to talk about Floridians.

00:07:01.000 Trump is the foremost Floridian.

00:07:03.000 Trump is the Floridian responsible single-handedly for getting Ron DeSantis elected so that he didn't lose out to the meth addict. 1.00

00:07:13.000 Remember the passed out photos from the gay orgy on the floor? 1.00

00:07:17.000 DeSantis was going to lose bigly to that guy. 1.00

00:07:21.000 And now Trump's being smeared again.

00:07:24.000 And I had hoped I genuinely had hoped, because I want there to be a strong Republican bench for the future, okay?

00:07:32.000 But I understand how this works, right?

00:07:35.000 People push other people to run.

00:07:37.000 The consultant class does that, because guess what?

00:07:41.000 They only get paid if you run, because they take a piece of the ad buy, and the commercial buy, and the this buy, and the that buy, and a piece of the fundraising dollars, and they all get rich.

00:07:50.000 But they don't get rich if you don't run.

00:07:53.000 So I had hoped that perhaps, DeSantis' week-long silence, while even rhino never-Trumpers, people who hate Trump, even leftists, stepped up, was him waiting to perhaps make a big statement at his already scheduled press conference.

00:08:13.000 But I was wrong.

00:08:15.000 DeSantis thinks that Democrats weaponizing the law to indict Trump is a, quote, manufactured crisis?

00:08:23.000 It isn't a real issue?

00:08:25.000 Seriously? Has he been watching anything?

00:08:29.000 To me, as I tweeted, it's pure weakness.

00:08:33.000 Now we know while he was silent all weekend and totally owned by Paul Ryan and Karl Rove and his donors...

00:08:44.000 That's what it is, guys. He's owned by the billionaire donors.

00:08:47.000 100% controlled opposition.

00:08:50.000 Let's see which way the wind is blowing.

00:08:53.000 Let's see which way they want me to respond, and I will do it.

00:08:56.000 So I was hoping for a strong response.

00:08:58.000 But we got a milquetoast response.

00:09:00.000 We got weaker than most rhino Republicans. 1.00

00:09:05.000 We got a weaker response than a lot of never-Trump Republicans.

00:09:09.000 And guys, here's the deal. 0.98

00:09:12.000 You can hire influencers to post videos of you dunking on what was like a hot Twitter take 10 days ago on some moron local reporter. 0.80

00:09:21.000 You can get plenty of people to do that, as Ron has.

00:09:25.000 But that doesn't make you ready for the big leagues.

00:09:28.000 If you can't understand that this is a fundamental issue of our time, then you're not ready.

00:09:35.000 Then it's not your time.

00:09:36.000 As even people like Mike Cernovich, who have been big DeSantis supporters...

00:09:41.000 Just heartbroken that DeSantis doesn't understand what Soros DAs and the Bolsheviks are going to do to this country. 1.00

00:09:49.000 He also said DeSantis blew it today.

00:09:51.000 The only people saying otherwise personally hate Trump or were never Trump in 16.

00:09:56.000 And again, even some of those are coming out.

00:09:59.000 And not just coming out like milquetoast.

00:10:03.000 They're coming out significantly stronger than Governor DeSantis.

00:10:07.000 Okay, again, I know when you're ready for the big leaves.

00:10:10.000 I've spent a lot of time with these guys.

00:10:12.000 I've spent a lot of time with the Santas personally.

00:10:14.000 The image created online by the paid influencers, guys, unfortunately, one-on-one, it doesn't exist.

00:10:23.000 And this week made it clear, and for the record, I've been silent.

00:10:27.000 I haven't gone after it, even when they were paying people to go after my father for the last few years.

00:10:32.000 I get it. I understand the game.

00:10:34.000 I also understand he's being pushed by the big money influencers, the big money donors, the big money consultants, because again, they don't make millions and millions of dollars in the 2024 cycle if he doesn't run, because Trump's not hiring him and probably no one else really has much of a shot.

00:10:53.000 So, DeSantis tries to take a dig at President Trump, who's being falsely accused, and he can't even say his name in it.

00:11:01.000 It proves that DeSantis is totally fine with a third world nation arresting their number one political opposition. 0.51

00:11:09.000 It's not exactly MAGA, folks.

00:11:12.000 Hey, you can say what you want, and I've been a supporter of Kevin McCarthy, and he proved, and continues to prove each and every week, that...

00:11:22.000 He's going to be a great speaker.

00:11:24.000 He beat DeSantis to the punch and to the point by saying, it doesn't matter if President Trump or a Democrat, if you're going after him, our justice system should not be used to target political opponents, period. You shouldn't be okay with it.

00:11:43.000 When even those that would be considered establishment by some, I know they would have said that about Kevin, they gave me a lot of hard time when I supported Kevin, but he's going after these people.

00:11:53.000 When he gets it, when he's come around, and he comes in hotter and heavier than the issue than the MAGA governor, Ron DeSantis, Then the alleged MAGA guy?

00:12:05.000 You have to wonder, folks, and again, maybe there's a time, maybe in four more years of being a governor, he can figure out what's going on.

00:12:16.000 Hey, Candace Owens, I think, said it really well.

00:12:19.000 Is anyone really surprised by this, she says?

00:12:22.000 Been saying this forever.

00:12:24.000 DeSantis is a good governor, but he's establishment and will be a major disappointment to those who say otherwise.

00:12:31.000 People... Disenchanted with Trump, saw things in DeSantis that were never there.

00:12:38.000 Again, guys, that's because they did a good job of smart.

00:12:41.000 You hire the right influencers to clip something that I posted on social media or other people like me posted on social media two weeks prior. 0.99

00:12:49.000 You add it to your press conference again while you're dunking on some idiot local reporter who can't really fight back.

00:12:54.000 You get them to post it and everyone on the team that's being paid retweets it, makes it go viral. 0.97

00:13:00.000 Just because it happens on Twitter, folks, doesn't mean it's real life.

00:13:05.000 Just because you own someone there doesn't mean you're ready for the big leagues or can do it.

00:13:10.000 And this was clearly one of the biggest misses ever.

00:13:13.000 I mean, Tom Emmer, like other, like real righto Republicans, came out and took a significantly stronger stance on this issue.

00:13:22.000 And guys, if you don't think that the Democrats would weaponize these DAs to come after your family...

00:13:30.000 You haven't been watching.

00:13:31.000 Look what they did to me and my family.

00:13:34.000 Look what they will do.

00:13:38.000 And if they can do it to us, where we can fight back, we have platforms, we have the financial ability to do it, you don't think they'll come after you?

00:13:45.000 Guys, it's always a non-issue until they come after you, and they will.

00:13:50.000 D.C. Drano had a great...

00:13:52.000 Thought about this one. After this statement, I'm now confident that the free state of Florida will have an incredible governor through January 27th.

00:14:01.000 Today was a massive letdown for the MAGA base.

00:14:05.000 Yes, Trump is our guy for 2024, and there's no shaking that.

00:14:08.000 But we just got a preview of how DeSantis would fight the regime in 2028.

00:14:14.000 And his response was not just lackluster, but he got outflanked to the right by Kevin McCarthy.

00:14:21.000 Steve Bannon had a great take.

00:14:23.000 DeSantis looks weak, indecisive, and consultant-focused group-driven.

00:14:28.000 That's what it is, guys. They did polling over the weekend to see what they got.

00:14:32.000 The problem is, I think the Democrats picked up the phone.

00:14:36.000 Franklin Graham, the great evangelical leader, great Christian, quote, I would like to ask Christians across the country to pray specifically for Donald Trump and that God's hand would be upon him.

00:14:51.000 Everyone gets it, folks.

00:14:53.000 Everyone understands exactly what we are up against.

00:14:56.000 Everyone sees what the other side is doing, but somehow the MAGA guy didn't get it.

00:15:03.000 Darren Beatty, ultimately you can't teach good political instincts.

00:15:08.000 You either have it or you don't.

00:15:10.000 Trump had it. You know what his focus group was?

00:15:12.000 His focus group was going to the crowds.

00:15:15.000 His focus group was the rallies, listening to the people.

00:15:18.000 Not to the billionaire class, but again, that's the difference.

00:15:22.000 Trump didn't have to take their phone calls.

00:15:24.000 Sure, their money is helpful in a political race.

00:15:26.000 Don't get me wrong. I understand exactly how this works.

00:15:29.000 But the reason they want to move on for Trump is they want someone who has to take their phone call.

00:15:35.000 Who has to respond favorably.

00:15:37.000 Because if that money goes away, they got nothing.

00:15:41.000 Alex Bruzovich said, DeSantis has proven himself to be a complete fraud.

00:15:47.000 And meanwhile, think about this.

00:15:49.000 DA Alvin Bragg is also letting crime run rampant throughout New York City.

00:15:55.000 You'd think that DeSantis could at least grab onto that.

00:15:58.000 The DA is focused on Trump?

00:16:00.000 On charges the feds won't go after?

00:16:04.000 And not on the crime that's rampaging their city?

00:16:10.000 They're going soft on violent repeat criminals while he goes on yet another anti-Trump witch hunt after, what, like eight years?

00:16:19.000 It never ends.

00:16:20.000 Under Bragg, rape, felony assault, and robberies are all way up.

00:16:27.000 Bragg would rather push politically motivated non-crimes than actually pursue real crimes.

00:16:35.000 Think about that for a second, guys.

00:16:37.000 Look at the stats.

00:16:38.000 Look at what's happened, right?

00:16:40.000 We're still going to do this and go after Trump yet again because I guess they can fundraise it off and get some headlines.

00:16:45.000 And people don't think it's that bad.

00:16:47.000 Guess what, guys? If you don't realize how bad it is, You probably don't even have a spot on the bench for the future of the Republican Party.

00:16:56.000 So, like I said, I hadn't chimed in on this.

00:16:59.000 I hadn't called anyone out by name other than the obvious ones.

00:17:03.000 So this weekend was not only a disappointment, and honestly not even about the brag thing at this point, I'm just used to it.

00:17:11.000 I'm used to them doing it, fundraising off of it.

00:17:14.000 They get their things. It goes nowhere.

00:17:16.000 I've been dealing with it for years.

00:17:17.000 They wanted to try me for treason.

00:17:20.000 A crime punishable by death.

00:17:22.000 Minor details. Who cares at this point?

00:17:24.000 But I was hoping we had a stronger bench.

00:17:27.000 And trust me, again, when I talk about the political class and the consultant class, I know them well.

00:17:33.000 Because I have to deal with them, with some of the people I help.

00:17:36.000 I have half of them...

00:17:39.000 And a lot of those big donors offering me whatever it takes when I want to run because they want to run that campaign and they know there's money associated with it.

00:17:50.000 Guys, I'm not a baby to this game.

00:17:53.000 I've been in it for a long time.

00:17:54.000 I've seen it. I have the offers in text, okay?

00:17:58.000 Whether it's the seven-figure offers from some of the donor class, donations to my campaign, or the consultants that want to run me for any office I want to run for.

00:18:08.000 It's a big scam, folks.

00:18:10.000 It's a grift. So pay attention and understand who actually needs those people's money.

00:18:17.000 Who actually... Doesn't need the job.

00:18:21.000 Pay attention who chimed in and vocally opposed it.

00:18:25.000 And more importantly, pay attention to who didn't.

00:18:27.000 Nikki Haley didn't say anything either.

00:18:29.000 Guess what? She's got about a snowball's chance in hell, but she's going to run for the warmongering neocon side. 1.00

00:18:36.000 Again, DeSantis got shaky because he took the sort of milquetoast approach that...

00:18:40.000 You know, the milquetoast version of Trump on Ukraine, like why are we getting into another endless war?

00:18:45.000 He said that finally copying Trump after months of silence while running a de facto campaign for president for the last two years.

00:18:51.000 And ooh, the donor class didn't like it.

00:18:54.000 The consultant class didn't like it.

00:18:56.000 That's their money. That's their lobbying contracts for the future.

00:19:01.000 So pay attention.

00:19:03.000 Well, before we get to Admiral Dr.

00:19:06.000 Congressman Ronnie Jackson, I want to thank our sponsors.

00:19:10.000 Again, it takes guts to really sponsor a show like this because of the things that I'll say, because of the people I'll offend, because of the topics I will talk about that are uncouth.

00:19:23.000 That'll get you canceled elsewhere.

00:19:25.000 So I want to thank and tell you about Field of Greens.

00:22:20.000 Let's get on now with Admiral Congressman Dr.

00:22:24.000 Ronnie Jackson. This one's going to be pretty lit.

00:22:27.000 You're going to love it. And I just want to also thank you guys for all of the incredible support throughout this journey doing this show.

00:22:34.000 It's been absolutely awesome to be on here with you guys.

00:22:37.000 And it's because of you guys that we're crushing it.

00:22:39.000 So keep that going.

00:22:40.000 Spread this message.

00:22:42.000 Pass it on to your friends.

00:22:43.000 Tell them about it. Because in all fairness, mainstream media, social media, and others are not going to do that.

00:22:49.000 So let's get the real news out to everyone.

00:22:51.000 You guys are a part of this.

00:22:52.000 It's totally organic.

00:22:54.000 I appreciate you guys doing it.

00:22:55.000 And you're the best. Thanks.

00:22:59.000 Welcome back to another episode of Triggered.

00:23:01.000 This one's going to be fun because we have my friend, Admiral Congressman Ronnie Jackson.

00:23:06.000 So which one is it? Can you choose?

00:23:09.000 Does Congress take precedent over Admiral?

00:23:11.000 I feel like there's fewer admirals than congressmen.

00:23:13.000 Honestly, Admiral means more than the congressman title for sure, especially after I've lived that life a little bit, you know what I mean?

00:23:19.000 Yes. So I'd probably rank him Admiral Dr.

00:23:22.000 Congressman, yeah. Okay, yeah.

00:23:24.000 We obviously, yeah, we forgot doctor in there. 0.70

00:23:27.000 Another big one that took some time.

00:23:29.000 And probably actually, all things I sort of want to break down.

00:23:34.000 Because I think we've seen such fundamental shifts in what all of that means, right?

00:23:40.000 We see with ESG and some of these things.

00:23:44.000 I think you actually, I was thinking about this right before you got here.

00:23:48.000 I was like, you may have been the first visible case Of politicized medicine.

00:23:54.000 Yeah. Right? The difference between sort of science and narrative.

00:23:58.000 Yep. And I remember it.

00:23:59.000 We almost have to find the clip and like add it in here later on because it was the single greatest press conference in the history of time.

00:24:08.000 Certainly medical ones.

00:24:10.000 And it was the one after you gave my father his first physical as president of the United States.

00:24:14.000 And you basically got on stage and was like, listen...

00:24:18.000 He eats a couple too many cheeseburgers, but he's actually in solid health.

00:24:23.000 Sure, could he lose a couple pounds?

00:24:24.000 Yeah, we could all probably.

00:24:26.000 And watching the press lose their mind.

00:24:29.000 So, doctor, are you saying there's a chance he could die?

00:24:34.000 Well, I mean, I guess we could all get hit by this.

00:24:36.000 So you're saying there's a chance? 0.99

00:24:38.000 Tell us about that experience, because you served under multiple presidents, sort of totally apolitical, Admiral in the Navy, Diver, we'll get into that next, but you got up on this stage probably thinking you're going to deliver, here's the results of a medical form, and we just saw an absolute shit show. 0.99

00:24:59.000 Tell us about it. I think we have to find the clip, because The rage, looking for the, it was like dumb and dumber. 0.99

00:25:05.000 So you're saying there's a chance he could die. 0.99

00:25:07.000 They were just praying for that moment of anything.

00:25:11.000 What was that like? Well, leading up to it, the press was going crazy.

00:25:14.000 They were just trying to use this as another excuse.

00:25:16.000 They tried everything they could to get rid of President Trump.

00:25:19.000 Even before, as you know better than anybody, before he was even in office, they were trying to get rid of him.

00:25:24.000 Everything they could possibly think of.

00:25:26.000 So, what was going on for the couple months prior I was doing this physical exam, they were coming out there saying, well, he's not physically or mentally fit to be president, and which is, you know, they don't talk about it anymore, the mental part anymore, because of the disaster.

00:25:36.000 Yes, well, now the mental part is, well, we have to accept these things.

00:25:41.000 John Fetterman being the other example.

00:25:43.000 I've been labeled as, they've tried to cancel me because I'm like, hey, I don't know, like, Is he fit to serve in the Senate?

00:25:51.000 And again, why should we hold a senator to a different standard than the president, but I'm an ableist, someone who discriminates against those with disabilities, according to the media, for being like, I don't know, guys, is it wrong for me to expect a United States senator or a president to have basic cognitive function?

00:26:07.000 Right. And when it was President Trump, he never did anything or said anything.

00:26:10.000 You can go back and look, he never said a single thing that would give anyone any reason to believe that he was cognitively impaired.

00:26:16.000 Nothing. They didn't like his style.

00:26:18.000 They didn't like his tweets.

00:26:20.000 They didn't like his personality.

00:26:21.000 They didn't like that he's opening up the kimono to exactly what they're doing and draining the swamp.

00:26:27.000 I remember the one time, I guess he picked up a water bottle like this, and oh my god!

00:26:32.000 And that's what's sort of perhaps the most amazing, is watching that cognitive dissonance, the way, again, they attacked me for questioning, like, Clear examples of not being able to complete a sentence.

00:26:44.000 Multiple cases of falling down the stairs.

00:26:47.000 Forgetting the person that you're introducing.

00:26:49.000 So Trump takes the cognitive test, and that's not enough.

00:26:52.000 But me saying, well, maybe these people should be doing the same.

00:26:56.000 How dare you? Yeah.

00:26:57.000 And remember back then, they were demanding.

00:27:00.000 They were demanding, the press and the social media, everybody was demanding that Trump get a cognitive test, right?

00:27:06.000 And we did one. And no president has ever had one before, ever.

00:27:09.000 And he voluntarily did that, right?

00:27:10.000 He voluntarily did it. I mean, he actually asked me...

00:27:13.000 You know, about doing it. And so we did it.

00:27:14.000 And you know, of course, not only did he like, was he like way better shaped physically than I thought he was going to be.

00:27:20.000 He had all the objective data there.

00:27:21.000 I had his cardiac stress test.

00:27:22.000 I had all of his labs.

00:27:24.000 I had everything there. I made it all available to the press that day.

00:27:26.000 Every single bit of it. We weren't hiding anything.

00:27:28.000 Everything was out in the open. He was in phenomenal physical shape for his age.

00:27:32.000 I mean, his cardiac testing, his stress test, was through the roof.

00:27:35.000 He was easily in the top 5% for a man his age.

00:27:39.000 And then we dropped the bomb on him.

00:27:41.000 We told him that we did the cognitive screening test, the MOCA, and that he scored a perfect score.

00:27:46.000 And they were just disarmed.

00:27:47.000 They didn't know what to do. The meltdown was, like, literally, like I said, I think it was the first example of politicized medicine.

00:27:55.000 We've seen a lot since then, so I want to unpackage some of that, right?

00:27:57.000 Where, you know, the science doesn't exactly line up with what we were told.

00:28:00.000 You know, the delta between The Fauci emails to friends and peers versus what was said on TV. But that was the first time to say, but wait, isn't this the science?

00:28:12.000 Here's an objective test, right?

00:28:14.000 There's no politicization of that.

00:28:17.000 You may not like that he did well, but trying to find the nuance of why it's different and how all of a sudden that's now You know, that's off the table now.

00:28:25.000 You can't ask these questions when you have someone clearly failing on so many levels.

00:28:29.000 Right. Well, you know, like I said, they were jumping up and down, demanding a cognitive test.

00:28:32.000 And now we have this cognitive disaster in the White House.

00:28:34.000 They don't say anything about it.

00:28:36.000 It's crickets. Nobody talks about it.

00:28:37.000 And that's what irritated me when I first got into Congress is the fact that this man has obvious cognitive issues.

00:28:43.000 Biden does. You know, like you said, he didn't know where he's at.

00:28:45.000 He slurs his speech. He shuffles when he walks.

00:28:47.000 I mean, you know, sometimes he didn't even know he's president, to be honest with you.

00:28:50.000 You know, he forgets he's president. And no one is making any comments about, you know, no one's demanding that he get a cognitive test.

00:28:57.000 Except for me. I mean, I've been saying it since before I was even elected to office two and a half years ago.

00:29:01.000 Well, by the way, yeah, you spoke with me when I was writing my book, Triggered.

00:29:06.000 And this was like, I wrote...

00:29:07.000 My book, sorry, Liberal Privilege, actually.

00:29:10.000 I wrote it during the pandemic because I was like, all of a sudden we're locked down.

00:29:12.000 I'm like, we got to sort of break down the hypocrisy of that.

00:29:15.000 It was a lot about sort of the Biden corruption versus what they claimed we were doing.

00:29:19.000 And again, it's sort of that Saul Alinsky rules for radicals.

00:29:22.000 Use them of doing what you're doing.

00:29:24.000 You were a case of that.

00:29:26.000 I called you, and you were very clear as a doctor, like, hey, I wasn't Biden's direct doctor, but I observed him at his time in his White House, and I observe him now, and they're different people.

00:29:37.000 We spoke about that in the book, and I think you got a call even from Obama, who you never said anything health-wise.

00:29:43.000 Maybe he smoked, and maybe that was bad, and just like Trump maybe ate a couple too many cheeseburgers, but they were both Perfectly physically capable of doing that job.

00:29:53.000 How is that? Watching someone like that come in and try to defend what we all saw with our own eyes.

00:30:00.000 Again, the media did whatever they could.

00:30:02.000 Big tech put a trillion dollars behind making sure that there's nothing to any of these things.

00:30:06.000 Just like all the fact checks that have proven to be 100% right.

00:30:10.000 Every conspiracy theory that's now been proven right, not debunked.

00:30:16.000 Talk about that, because that's sort of interesting, watching that happen, when you were clearly apolitical, until they basically started attacking you, your credibility, your medical degree, your qualifications, literally everything, and honestly, Even the promotions that my father then wanted to give you before any of this even happened after serving our country for decades.

00:30:38.000 That's right. And you know, I didn't realize it at the time because I was pretty naive because like you said, my job was apolitical.

00:30:42.000 I was active duty military.

00:30:44.000 I was a Navy Rear Admiral serving as a physician to the president taking care of not only the president and the first family, you guys as well, but you know, the office of the president.

00:30:51.000 I had an apolitical job and I kept it that way for 14 years while I was at the White House.

00:30:56.000 During Bush, Obama, and the Trump administration, I stayed apolitical.

00:31:00.000 That day that I got up there and I objectively presented his physical exam and his cognitive results and everything, I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back, that was the day that the far left decided, that was the day that I got the Trump stamp on me, which I am proud to have, right? The scarlet letter.

00:31:17.000 That is the day that I got the Trump stamp on me, and that is the day that the press decided if they could ever cut my heart out, they were going to do it.

00:31:23.000 And they tried.

00:31:25.000 I'll fast forward to the VA nomination when he nominated me for the VA secretary.

00:31:29.000 The knives came out. It was crazy.

00:31:31.000 I tell people all the time, I've never seen anything like that happen before.

00:31:34.000 Sarah Sanders, a bunch of people in the White House had never seen anybody attacked as aggressively as they were attacking me for those two weeks that was going on.

00:31:42.000 But, you know, it's happened multiple times since then.

00:31:44.000 I was the first one, one of the first ones.

00:31:46.000 I tell people I got Kavanaugh'd before Kavanaugh did.

00:31:49.000 By the way, 100% right.

00:31:50.000 I was the pregame. I just didn't know it at the time.

00:31:53.000 I mean, that had to be interesting, and I'll say this, because as you know, I had a really good relationship with a lot of guys on my Secret Service detail.

00:32:00.000 So much so that they moved guys off of my detail, because they were like, oh, you're too comfortable with this.

00:32:03.000 I was like, I promise you guys, you want me comfortable with my guys, because if something goes wrong, I'm the guy that thinks I'm always right.

00:32:09.000 I get that. Like, I want to like the guy because I'll trust him a lot more.

00:32:13.000 Plus, everybody knew you had more guns than that.

00:32:14.000 Yeah, we won't even get into that one.

00:32:17.000 Clearly, clearly.

00:32:18.000 So, you know, we had a good time. But, you know, the one sort of thing in, you know, four years of, you know, guys rotating in and out, I mean, that was the one thing they said with you, you know, You took care of those guys too.

00:32:28.000 When they were going on international trips, when they were pulling multiple day type all-nighters, you were the guy that took care of everything that they ever needed and did so professionally.

00:32:39.000 Those guys love you.

00:32:41.000 And that stuff means so much more to me than if the boss likes you.

00:32:46.000 When the guys, you could blow off.

00:32:49.000 I don't need to pay attention.

00:32:51.000 He's the lowly or whatever.

00:32:52.000 He's not high up on the totem pole.

00:32:54.000 He can't help my promotion or my career.

00:32:56.000 When those guys are a huge fan, that's when I'm like, okay.

00:33:00.000 Now I respect it so much more.

00:33:03.000 And so watching that attack on you.

00:33:06.000 Again, a rear admiral.

00:33:09.000 Obviously served in the Navy, a doctor, served in the White House, so if you were capable of serving the president, you probably know something about the medicine side, too.

00:33:16.000 I mean, you would think, you know, leftist logic has changed a little bit, but when they nominated you then for the VA position to watch all of that stuff not matter, and it wasn't like you were also just, you know, well, I came into the Navy as, you were a Navy diver, right? Like EOD, like bomb tech, underwater, like, so you were like a real...

00:33:36.000 Not like a bureaucrat.

00:33:38.000 I don't mean to belittle it, but a doctor coming into the Navy just to be a doctor. 0.98

00:33:43.000 You started off in the Navy as a guy getting shit done. 0.97

00:33:47.000 Yeah, absolutely. I was a Navy deep sea diver. 0.97

00:33:49.000 I was assigned to the Marine Corps.

00:33:51.000 I was in Iraq with the Marines.

00:33:52.000 I ran a surgical shock trauma platoon on the battlefield between Fallujah and Ramadi.

00:33:57.000 All of this stuff before I got to the White House.

00:33:58.000 Then I got to the White House and like you said, everything was perfectly fine. 0.95

00:34:01.000 The accusations that came out that they threw out there, all a bunch of garbage, right?

00:34:05.000 But even the time frame was supposedly from during the Obama administration. 0.95

00:34:09.000 If I was such a disaster, right?

00:34:11.000 Why'd they keep him? Why was, you know, and Obama signed my evaluations.

00:34:16.000 He personally hand wrote and signed, you know, all the presidents did.

00:34:19.000 They hand wrote and signed my evaluations.

00:34:21.000 And you can go back and look at all the evaluations that he put together for me, and he has nothing but flattering things to say, and he promoted me to the Navy Rear Admiral.

00:34:29.000 Your dad gave me my second star, he gave me my first star.

00:34:32.000 So if I was such a problem, and I was out, I was drunk at work all the time, like they were saying, and they said I went out and went to the Secret Service Christmas party, got drunk and wrecked a government vehicle. 0.85

00:34:44.000 Ridiculous! Yeah, by the way, you were like the precursor to Kavanaugh, right?

00:34:51.000 If those things actually happened, once you were then not gonna go forward with the VA nomination, well, those are serious offenses.

00:34:59.000 You would think there'd be follow-up. It's like, no, no, we got what we wanted.

00:35:01.000 That was all bullshit, right? Same with Kamala. 1.00

00:35:03.000 Like, he's not really a gang rapist.

00:35:05.000 I'm like, wait, he was on the Circuit Court of Appeals.

00:35:07.000 He was a public figure known in the judiciary.

00:35:09.000 He wasn't a gang rapist until he was going to that next level.

00:35:13.000 So that's what was the worst about it.

00:35:15.000 It was clearly nonsense, because they dropped it the second you weren't the guy anymore, and yet the people they would put in those positions Did not serve in the Navy the way you did, or barely.

00:35:26.000 I mean, you had the ultimate experience.

00:35:28.000 You served at a high level of medicine, whether it's, again, battlefield experience with trauma, White House serving for the President of the United States, but also then actually as sort of a combat guy and Navy diver.

00:35:40.000 Who better? Yeah.

00:35:42.000 Who has a better resume to actually be the director of the VA? Yeah.

00:35:47.000 You know, they just, like, I don't know, it's a good thing to put on someone's resume who's never been in the Navy, who's never been a doctor.

00:35:52.000 It's like, they can direct the VA, and that's why you had the disasters that you did that I think my father improved upon a lot.

00:35:58.000 Well, now, if I'd have been, you know, a transgender minority midget or something, that's all you need. 0.98

00:36:02.000 By the way, that's like question number, how much faster in today's Navy would you have become an admiral if you do it somewhere like, you know what? 0.97

00:36:11.000 Bitches, I'm trans. 1.00

00:36:12.000 It would have been overnight. 1.00

00:36:14.000 I'd be running the whole place by now.

00:36:19.000 We laugh because it's funny, except it's not funny because it's also true.

00:36:27.000 Talk about that a little bit.

00:36:29.000 Whether it's Rachel Levine, it's like...

00:36:37.000 Qualifications don't mean anything if you can check a couple boxes off.

00:36:40.000 We saw that with, what is it, Sam, whatever, Britton, you know, our nuclear waste disposal.

00:36:45.000 Wow, they're non-binary and they wear dresses and they're pictures. 1.00

00:36:47.000 You know, he can be a klepto. I mean, if you're going to be in charge of our nuclear... 1.00

00:36:51.000 Look at Pete Buttigieg, all of these guys. 0.98

00:36:52.000 Yeah, you're the first lesbian, black, you know... 1.00

00:36:58.000 Immigrant, so therefore, that's your qualification. 0.96

00:37:01.000 And then when I attack it, they go, how dare you say that?

00:37:04.000 I go, well you spent six months touting how this is so wonderful.

00:37:09.000 How about competence?

00:37:11.000 So I mean, talk about that in the military.

00:37:12.000 I mean, you served, you did real stuff.

00:37:15.000 It's got to be demoralizing for people going in.

00:37:18.000 If you're a good patriotic American and you want to serve your country, I'm like, hey man, the guys we actually would want fighting for us, preserving liberty, freedom, everything we believe in, I'm like, you're going nowhere in today's military as far as I'm concerned.

00:37:32.000 And I hear this from other guys that served, so I didn't.

00:37:35.000 So I'd love to hear your thoughts on that, because it is crazy.

00:37:37.000 It's a big problem. I think during the Obama administration, during the eight years of the Obama administration, they started vetting senior flag officers and general officers for their political beliefs, which you shouldn't do, right?

00:37:46.000 It should not be a political job. But they were looking into this.

00:37:48.000 They were trying to figure out who has conservative leanings, who has liberal leanings, and then there's a group in the middle, basically, that'll just do whatever they tell them to do, regardless of what they think.

00:37:57.000 Which actually probably is...

00:37:59.000 It is a political position, but unfortunately everything has been politicized.

00:38:03.000 But some of those people are people like General Milley.

00:38:06.000 They just won't push back. They won't say no when they're supposed to say no.

00:38:08.000 You mean General, I want to learn about white rage?

00:38:11.000 Exactly, yeah. I'm like, how about learn about winning wars?

00:38:13.000 What do I... I don't know anything.

00:38:16.000 General, what were you doing when the Taliban was falling all over Afghanistan and our troops were about to get slaughtered in Kabul?

00:38:23.000 Oh, I was doing book interviews with Bob Woodward, that General Milley?

00:38:26.000 I mean, this guy, he's a perfect example.

00:38:29.000 And there's a bunch of them out there.

00:38:31.000 They promoted the ones that had liberal leanings and the ones that were kind of in the middle that they could manipulate.

00:38:35.000 The ones that had conservative leanings, they just let them time out.

00:38:37.000 So over an eight year period, we got two stars, three stars, and four stars, generals and admirals, that were very politically motivated, very woke, very liberal.

00:38:47.000 And the rest of the military wasn't like that, and still not like that for the most part.

00:38:51.000 Yeah, and I always make that distinction. It's like the FBI. We've seen the same thing happen there.

00:38:56.000 There's a difference between the door kickers, the guys doing the work.

00:38:59.000 It's funny, when I made comments in a speech a couple of months ago, I talked with guys in the teams, and they were telling me, they were like, no, we spend more time doing diversity training than we do shooting.

00:39:11.000 I'm like, wait, you're the elites.

00:39:14.000 You're doing that?

00:39:16.000 How many... What female are you dealing with in the battlefields in Afghanistan or Iraq? 1.00

00:39:21.000 And they're like, no, no. So I said this in a speech and they literally, Don Jr.

00:39:27.000 doesn't know shit. He doesn't have friends. 0.99

00:39:29.000 And I'm like, Rob O'Neill jumps in and SEAL Team 6 guy killed Bin Laden.

00:39:34.000 He's like, no, he's right.

00:39:36.000 And it's a serious problem.

00:39:37.000 Carl Higbee. It's going on.

00:39:41.000 And again, I actually...

00:39:44.000 Wouldn't care nearly as much if we were actually winning wars.

00:39:48.000 But we're not. We're getting our asses handed to us. 0.99

00:39:50.000 China's testing hypersonic nuclear-capable missiles, and we're sitting there making sure we have drag queen story hour on a military base. 0.98

00:39:59.000 As you've seen that, how bad is the problem?

00:40:03.000 I think people are sort of waking up to it.

00:40:04.000 Again, because it's not like we have results to say, okay, well, this stuff is working.

00:40:10.000 The ESG, the DE, it's working in the military, and we're becoming a better fighting unit.

00:40:16.000 Which they're telling us it somehow is, but it's clearly not based on results.

00:40:21.000 We're going to fix it.

00:40:22.000 And I say we're going to do that. We're starting to fix it already because we have the majority in the House now that Republicans do.

00:40:27.000 So we're starting to have investigations.

00:40:29.000 We're starting to have hearings.

00:40:30.000 We're starting to call some of this stuff out.

00:40:32.000 And we have a little bit of authority now, being we control the purse strings in the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act, to put some teeth into getting this stuff out of our military.

00:40:41.000 But you know, they did a lot of things. I was telling you that they went after the Flag and General Officer Corps and tried to vet them.

00:40:47.000 They were doing it. A lot of people don't believe me, but the reason that there was a mandate, a COVID mandate, a COVID vaccine mandate in the military was to try to vet it and try to get some of these people with conservative leanings out.

00:40:59.000 They realized early on that most of the people that were refusing to get the vaccine in the military were conservative by nature to some extent.

00:41:05.000 And they realized this is a perfect opportunity to get rid of all these people, to get them out of here.

00:41:09.000 And make room for all the new recruits that we want coming in.

00:41:12.000 So can we find who was leading those charges and do something about them?

00:41:15.000 I mean, is that a priority for you?

00:41:17.000 Absolutely. And that's part of the problem.

00:41:19.000 I mean, honestly, Don, one of the reasons why this stuff keeps happening, nobody's ever held accountable.

00:41:23.000 Nobody. Who got fired for Afghanistan?

00:41:25.000 Not a single person got fired for Afghanistan.

00:41:27.000 Nothing happened. Nothing happens no matter what in the military anymore.

00:41:30.000 No one's held accountable. I talk about it a lot, because the Afghanistan one was the one that I'm just like, oh my god, it's so much worse than I thought. 1.00

00:41:37.000 Again, Millie getting up on stage and saying, we could not have seen this coming. 0.99

00:41:42.000 I'm like, really, motherfucker? 1.00

00:41:44.000 You couldn't see this? I saw it coming, and let's be clear, folks, because someone will say, I know jack shit about Afghanistan, okay? 1.00

00:41:52.000 I saw it coming. Because you'd have to be an imbecile to not see it coming. 1.00

00:41:56.000 Anyone who served on the ground that I know saw it coming. 0.99

00:42:00.000 You know, they had to accelerate the timeline.

00:42:02.000 And I'm not saying we should be an endless war.

00:42:03.000 Trust me, Trump, myself, we're all like, hey, what are we doing there?

00:42:07.000 Just like I'm saying about Ukraine.

00:42:09.000 I was one of the first republic, if not Maybe the first Republican, maybe me and JD Vance, talking about what exactly are we doing in Ukraine right now?

00:42:17.000 I don't understand. We're helping a corrupt nation against another corrupt nation because NATO wanted to move the border of NATO closer to Russia.

00:42:24.000 I'm like, I don't understand.

00:42:26.000 Where's $130 billion going?

00:42:28.000 Do we want to be in a proxy war with Russia?

00:42:30.000 But Milley was on stage, he couldn't see it coming.

00:42:34.000 Anyone. Anyone who'd been there, including my son, Spencer.

00:42:41.000 I think he was eight at the time.

00:42:42.000 He was like, hey, Dad, why would we do that?

00:42:46.000 Why did we pull out, he called it the Army, because he was eight.

00:42:49.000 Why did we pull out the Army before we pulled out the friends?

00:42:52.000 He didn't even know what the biometric scanners was, but he was trying to say biometric.

00:42:56.000 He didn't know what it was, but he was like, Dad, why would we leave the machines that would let them know who was helping us for the last 20 years?

00:43:02.000 I don't understand. This was an eight-year-old.

00:43:06.000 I picked him up from school that week, and that's when it hit me just how sick it is, just how bad.

00:43:13.000 When an eight-year-old is asking all the questions our press should be asking, our general should have known, and they couldn't have seen it coming.

00:43:22.000 What was worse was then watching the Secretary of State, because then the political side, we're shocked and dismayed, right?

00:43:28.000 Blinken. We're shocked and dismayed that the Taliban Did not install a more diverse and inclusive government in Afghanistan.

00:43:36.000 Dude, I am literally there thinking that I'm being punked. 1.00

00:43:41.000 There's no way someone's this stupid. 1.00

00:43:44.000 The guys that were throwing homosexuals off buildings and dousing journalists in fuel in cages and lighting them on fire, you're shocked and dismayed that they didn't have a trans coalition in the Taliban government? 1.00

00:43:56.000 These are not serious people. 0.99

00:43:58.000 And you saw that.

00:43:59.000 It was interesting watching the mandates in the military.

00:44:02.000 I want you to expand on it a little bit because you saw the elite warriors.

00:44:05.000 Those guys were the ones not wanting to do it.

00:44:07.000 And they were fine being like, okay, you're out of the military.

00:44:10.000 It's like, wait, the guys you spent decades training, the guys you want...

00:44:14.000 Like, no, no, no, we'll replace them with, you know, we'll find an obligatory female who ran a little bit faster than the other females, may not be able to carry, you know, Carl Higby off a battlefield, but, like, who cares? 1.00

00:44:24.000 You know, that's a small price to pay for diversity.

00:44:26.000 They're gonna know what his pronouns are.

00:44:28.000 They will know his pronouns, and same thing with the fighter pilots.

00:44:32.000 I'm like, wait a minute, we spent millions.

00:44:35.000 Getting these guys up to speed.

00:44:37.000 And I have friends, you know, now, you know, out in the, I went to a boarding school, there was a big feeder school too, the Naval Academy, so I had friends that flew, you know, F-18s and all, you hear the stories and it's like, these guys that flew F-18s were like, hey man, if I was, if I was going today, like, I wouldn't go in because I'd have no chance to be able to Excel because there's going to be someone who's probably not as good or that's going to get a chance because they check off X number of bucks.

00:45:03.000 Like the rapid ascent to Trans Admiral.

00:45:06.000 That's all they're looking at now. If they look at your performance reports and stuff, the first thing they look at is race and gender and, you know, other social issues.

00:45:12.000 Did you switch your gender?

00:45:13.000 You know, even more important than gender itself.

00:45:15.000 Yeah, exactly. Gender doesn't matter so much, but if you switch, that's like huge. 0.81

00:45:19.000 Women's a little, it's a bonus. 1.00

00:45:21.000 That's a bonus, but if you can be a dude that becomes a woman, that's like, oh, that's the holy grail of who I want serving in the military.

00:45:28.000 What could go wrong? Yeah, but it's just gone crazy.

00:45:31.000 It really is destroying our military.

00:45:33.000 It's destroying the morale. We're going to fix it in Congress.

00:45:37.000 It's going to take us a while.

00:45:38.000 It feels like the problem is so entrenched though.

00:45:42.000 It's coming from the top and it's not just the guy at the top.

00:45:45.000 It's levels down because of what they've done.

00:45:48.000 How do you fix that in two years?

00:45:49.000 You know, because I feel like they're gonna try to run out the clock.

00:45:52.000 I mean, this is a consistent theme on the show.

00:45:54.000 It's like, how do we pick, you know, this would be a big one, right?

00:45:57.000 Because we have a tendency, and I always say it, like, I'm literally as guilty of it as anyone.

00:46:02.000 Hey, attack the shiny object. 1.00

00:46:04.000 You got 100, but you only have so much time.

00:46:07.000 You only have so many hours, days, weeks, months, and you know the other side's gonna slow roll everything.

00:46:13.000 How do you prevent that?

00:46:14.000 How do you pick the big things and do it?

00:46:16.000 Obviously the insanity in the military would be a big one because we have real threats like China, which take a distant backseat to the woke ideology happening in the military right now, but how do you prevent that from just getting run out?

00:46:32.000 Well, I mean, I think you have to pick your fights.

00:46:35.000 Like you said, we have all these select committees that we set up that we're doing investigations and stuff.

00:46:39.000 And, you know, each one of those committees sit down and they make a list of priorities about what they want to investigate, what's the most important.

00:46:44.000 And I think, you know, national security issues, the defense of our nation, the stuff we're talking about with the military becoming woke, the weaponization of our government with the DOJ and the FBI and, you know, everybody else that's being used to come out.

00:46:58.000 A mother is a domestic terrorist, but actual terrorists have an excuse because, you know, it's social justice or something. 1.00

00:47:04.000 Yeah, the teachers unions, for crying out loud.

00:47:06.000 I mean, the damage they've done to this country is just, you know, I mean, you can't even quantify it anymore.

00:47:11.000 It's just, they're a disaster, right?

00:47:13.000 So I think we're going to go after those things selectively.

00:47:15.000 We're going to stop some of it. We're not going to be able to correct all of it because we don't have the...

00:47:18.000 Senate, and we don't have the White House, obviously.

00:47:20.000 We pass a lot of good legislation out of the House, and it goes to the Senate.

00:47:24.000 It just dies in the Senate. 0.97

00:47:25.000 Or, unfortunately, I'm going to be honest with you, sometimes we have some Republican senators that vote for some of this garbage. 0.98

00:47:30.000 Oh, this is a very consistent theme. 0.98

00:47:32.000 Jim Banks on last week talking about it.

00:47:35.000 There's maybe five senators I'd actually want to be in a fight with.

00:47:42.000 I mean, think about how insane that is, you know what I mean?

00:47:45.000 Five out of 50, 10% are guys that you'd be like, okay, that guy will actually fight.

00:47:49.000 And we roll over like they did on the Garcetti vote last week. 0.98

00:47:53.000 It's like we give the Democrats all these wins because those guys don't have the balls to actually engage. 0.96

00:47:58.000 What about the omnibus that was passed at the end of the last Congress? 0.99

00:48:00.000 17 Republicans in the Senate voted for that garbage. 0.99

00:48:02.000 Give them the win. What could go wrong? 1.00

00:48:04.000 Nothing more frustrating than being in the House and holding the line, basically working your butt off and

00:48:07.000 getting this legislation through and then turning it over to the Senate so they can just trash it or throw it away. 0.61

00:48:12.000 And then if it gets past them, you know, then Biden's gonna veto it anyways.

00:48:15.000 But we're gonna stop a lot of this stuff.

00:48:17.000 I pray to God that we get President Trump back in in 2024 so that we can officially go in and start cleaning house

00:48:22.000 again.

00:48:22.000 house you need someone to nuke oh yeah At this point, it's not like, hey, we can do little fixings here and there.

00:48:28.000 You need to break down the systems as far as I'm concerned because they've all been corrupted.

00:48:34.000 Well, I'll tell you, and I know you're biased because he's your dad and I am too because I work for him as well.

00:48:37.000 But I also understand competence.

00:48:38.000 I know, right? I want Joe Biden to be successful because I'm an American.

00:48:44.000 I have five young kids.

00:48:46.000 I want them to grow up in an America that we recognize, but I don't see any of that.

00:48:51.000 Frankly, I'm shocked at just how quickly they could destroy.

00:48:57.000 And in all fairness, we can disagree about it.

00:48:59.000 All they had to do was not do anything on some of these things.

00:49:02.000 Just leave it alone. But they have to try to fix it.

00:49:04.000 They gotta change it. Let's destroy energy jobs, but we'll become dependent on Iran. 0.99

00:49:08.000 What could go wrong? A Venezuela regime we don't recognize.

00:49:11.000 We're begging them for oil, but we have it in our ground, but we won't let our guys do it, or we'll put restrictive things on it.

00:49:16.000 We need a push for electric vehicles. 0.54

00:49:20.000 Mined by African child slave labor, owned all by China. 0.99

00:49:25.000 What could go wrong allowing them to control all of that?

00:49:28.000 And by the way, doing so, again, doesn't hurt their ESG score that child labor is mining lithium and cobalt in mines all over the world because they subbed that out, so it doesn't count.

00:49:41.000 Right, and let's not drill for oil here. 0.56

00:49:42.000 Let's get dirty Venezuelan oil or Russian oil. 0.98

00:49:45.000 Let's get extra sulfur crude that's just more environmentally filthy, but we can hold down good, hardworking American jobs. 0.98

00:49:54.000 It's hard to look at what they're doing and not Say, they're trying to destroy America.

00:49:59.000 They are, but I'll tell you, here's what I think happened, Don.

00:50:01.000 I didn't figure it out for a long time, but I think that Joe Biden came in.

00:50:04.000 He realized that he was probably going to be a one-term president because I think, you know, I mean, he's going to get beat if he even announces that he's going to run.

00:50:09.000 But, you know, I think that he realized he's going to be a one-term president.

00:50:12.000 Everybody realized right off the bat that he's cognitively impaired, and he may not even make it four years. 0.97

00:50:16.000 I think they decided that his legacy was going to be all of this woke garbage just to turn this country upside down, just to burn it to the ground. 0.80

00:50:23.000 So I say they've done a lot of damage in two years, a lot of damage to this country. 0.60

00:50:27.000 That's why I say we have to have President Trump back because I'm going to tell you the difference between President Trump and every other Republican that's running.

00:50:33.000 And I've seen this because I've been in the White House.

00:50:35.000 I've been in the Oval Office when these discussions are taking place.

00:50:37.000 Everybody talks a big game.

00:50:39.000 They get to the Oval Office.

00:50:40.000 They get all of these folks from DOD, these political advisors, people from the West Wing, their senior staff in there.

00:50:46.000 They start talking them out of stuff because it's politically not advantageous right now.

00:50:50.000 It's not the right thing to do. It's not the right time to do it, so on and so forth.

00:50:53.000 And they give in, right?

00:50:54.000 And they give in, and they all go in, and they'll say that they're going to go in, and they're going to clean house, and they're going to go into these agencies, and then you get rid of these woke career employees that are running our government and destroying our way of life.

00:51:04.000 But nobody's going to actually do it except for your father.

00:51:07.000 He's going to do it because he's been there.

00:51:09.000 He's done that. He's lived it.

00:51:10.000 And I guarantee you, he's going to be the only person that's got the guts and the balls, quite honestly, to go in there and just do what needs to be done.

00:51:18.000 Everybody else is going to back down when push comes to shove.

00:51:21.000 Yeah, they said that. It was like, well, he's a lame duck president. 0.98

00:51:23.000 It could only be four years. I'm like, perfect. 0.96

00:51:25.000 Yeah, exactly. Because then you don't worry about getting reelected.

00:51:27.000 You worry about doing what needs to be done to save our country.

00:51:31.000 Now, the one place I'll disagree with you on it, like, I don't know.

00:51:35.000 That Joe Biden actually thinks about this as his legacy.

00:51:37.000 I look at Joe Biden, I'm like, an 80-year-old Irish Catholic, you think he believes that three-year-olds should- It's Joe Biden.

00:51:43.000 It's the people around you. Correct.

00:51:45.000 He's a convenient puppet for all those things. 0.99

00:51:49.000 Obama probably felt exactly the same way, but he wasn't going to risk his legacy doing shit that is insane But they'll throw Joe Biden under the bus. 0.98

00:51:58.000 He's enacting Democrat policy. 0.94

00:52:01.000 I'll say, he's actually probably been more effective than Obama because no one actually cares whether the American public likes him.

00:52:09.000 So I think they're able to actually get a lot more out of him because if his legacy is tarnished, if it's trash, if everyone thinks of him as like Jimmy Carter, in terms of not Jimmy Carter the human, but Jimmy Carter the president, like disastrous policies, That's fine with them. They don't care.

00:52:27.000 And he doesn't know the difference.

00:52:29.000 He's old. He's frail. He's cognitively impaired.

00:52:30.000 People cut him slack. They don't really hold him responsible.

00:52:33.000 Not to mention the fact that everybody knows it's not him doing it.

00:52:35.000 So it's cloaked. You really don't even know who's pulling the strings.

00:52:38.000 He's just the empty vessel through which it all comes out.

00:52:41.000 So I think you're right.

00:52:42.000 I think he's horrible in that regard.

00:52:44.000 There's no accountability. Yeah, that aspect of it is scary.

00:52:49.000 The accountability, the disastrous results.

00:52:52.000 And again, we always talk about sort of not being in a fair fight.

00:52:56.000 You experience this, right?

00:52:58.000 Everything from the media going after you, to big tech going after you, to censoring you, to canceling you, to Obama calling you.

00:53:04.000 You're casually observing.

00:53:06.000 If you went after Trump, During Trump's presidency, I mean, they tried to get you to do it.

00:53:12.000 I guess that was the whole thesis of that press conference, was try to get you to come up with the, you know, that would have been fine.

00:53:18.000 And so it's that double standard that we're not playing by.

00:53:21.000 So now, in the House, I guess you've started an advisory committee free of ESG. Tell us a little bit about that, because again, these are the fights I think we need to be having.

00:53:33.000 We need to be willing to go up against the insanity.

00:53:38.000 Tell us a little bit about what you're doing there, what you hope to achieve, what do you think so far the House has accomplished, and the track that they're on.

00:53:46.000 Because again, we are up against that clock in my opinion.

00:53:47.000 Well, this is going to be another one of those examples where we're going to get it through the House, and I pray we get it through the Senate, and then we'll put him on the spot to have to sign it.

00:53:55.000 But President Biden, day one of his administration, signed an executive order basically demanding or instructing every single branch of the executive office of the president—that's the Treasury Department, the Ag Department, the Defense Department, the Energy Department— All the different departments that have a cabinet secretary, he directed every one of them to put together an advisory group that's based on racial equity, right?

00:54:21.000 And to start driving everything they're doing, their hiring practices, the way they spend their money, everything is based on ESG and racial equity.

00:54:29.000 So the bill I put together basically stops that.

00:54:32.000 It says you cannot make hiring decisions, you cannot make spending decisions, you can't do any of that stuff.

00:54:36.000 You can't have advisory boards that push that within these departments.

00:54:40.000 We're going to legislate that it's law that you cannot do that.

00:54:42.000 That's the goal. I mean, you know, it's going to be, like I said, you know...

00:54:46.000 Yeah, because, I mean, it shouldn't be...

00:54:50.000 Especially with the decisions that these people would be making, right?

00:54:52.000 These aren't, like, hey, you know, it's not a supermarket checkout, you know, a job that, hey, it's a great, respectable vocation, but, like, these are people making trillion-dollar decisions.

00:55:02.000 You know, life-altering decisions.

00:55:05.000 These are the people that are deciding our future relative to that of China. 0.95

00:55:08.000 I don't think China's saying, well, we're not going to take the top 20 best, most qualified people because someone's checking a box.

00:55:14.000 You know, And that's what we've essentially done.

00:55:17.000 We've eliminated the notion that if someone doesn't check one of those boxes, but they also happen to be the most qualified, they don't get the job.

00:55:27.000 How do we expect society to even...

00:55:28.000 Well, we set up a system where they're not even gonna look at their stuff.

00:55:30.000 They're not even gonna be considered because they didn't check the right box.

00:55:32.000 Yeah, you don't even make it through the front door for the interview.

00:55:35.000 Yeah, and then, you know, when he put that executive order out and set that mandate out for them to do this, it set up competition between the cabinet secretaries to see who could be the most woke.

00:55:44.000 You know, we had, like, for example, like the Secretary of Agriculture pushing stuff out.

00:55:47.000 They're going to do disaster relief, you know, for farmers, but only for black farmers, right? 1.00

00:55:52.000 Oh, yeah, I saw some of those.

00:55:54.000 I mean, come on, are you kidding me? Everybody was devastated by the storm or the drought or whatever was the issue there, right?

00:55:58.000 But only black farmers are going to get, you know, I mean, this is just, I mean, you know, two wrongs don't make a right. 1.00

00:56:03.000 to turn around and just...

00:56:05.000 They're legislating racism, right?

00:56:07.000 They're literally creating racism, and they're also legislating it.

00:56:10.000 Because, again, why would a black farmer have an additional benefit to his white farmer who happens to be a neighbor? 0.75

00:56:16.000 They could be great friends.

00:56:18.000 Why are we just trying to ensure, frankly in this case, ensure a disproportional outcome? 0.97

00:56:23.000 Because by even doing it, you're saying, essentially, that the black farmer's not capable. 0.70

00:56:28.000 I mean, that's not me saying it.

00:56:30.000 It's them essentially saying it's like, so if the two people have a 1,000-acre farm, a 10,000-acre farm, and their neighbors, you're only going to help the black farmer Are you saying he's not capable of being just—how do we know he's not more competent than the white farmer that may need help?

00:56:44.000 Right. And that's what they're doing with every single thing they do, every single bit of money that the Biden administration spends.

00:56:48.000 And they get access—they get to decide how they want to spend a lot of the money that gets budgeted.

00:56:52.000 The money goes out, Congress approves these big spending bills and everything, and then they get to decide how a lot of that money is spent.

00:56:57.000 They're using their rulemaking, their executive power, and all this to push it based on race. 0.99

00:57:02.000 One of the things we're doing in Congress right now through the appropriations process is every single time we pass a bill, we have to put language in that bill that stops that before the bill even leaves the House so that it's illegal for them to do that.

00:57:13.000 Otherwise, they'll do it. Then it has to get challenged in court.

00:57:16.000 It ultimately makes it to the Supreme Court where they say that's completely unconstitutional.

00:57:19.000 It's racist. It's unconstitutional.

00:57:20.000 They just have to run out the time and money.

00:57:22.000 They've taken advantage of it for two years by the time they get to that point.

00:57:25.000 You know what I mean? They know this. And then they have their plants.

00:57:27.000 I mean, that's sort of how they took over all of these branches.

00:57:29.000 Again, I make the distinction between the FBI door kicker, the guy doing the work, who's a patriotic American, and the guy that's making the decisions, who's been promoted and wouldn't know how to kick in a door if you paid him.

00:57:41.000 So how do you assess progress so far with the House GOP? Because again, we...

00:57:48.000 And so everyone understands, because I saw this with Trump.

00:57:51.000 Why didn't he do XYZ? It's like, well, because Paul Ryan wouldn't bring up the bill to be able to do it.

00:57:55.000 People don't necessarily always understand process.

00:57:59.000 We don't have the Senate.

00:58:01.000 We don't have the White House.

00:58:03.000 We have a very slim majority in the House.

00:58:06.000 So... I don't expect us to do a lot of legislation.

00:58:10.000 What we can do is a lot of blocking. 0.97

00:58:11.000 What we can do is play with the power of the purse strings, the money, which allows all this bullshit to actually happen. 0.92

00:58:18.000 So what do you see so far? 0.67

00:58:21.000 Are you pleased with what you're able to do with I'm actually pretty pleased with the limited stuff we have, because don't forget, we just have a small majority.

00:58:31.000 We have a five-seat majority, right?

00:58:33.000 So if five Republicans break ranks, then we're back to where we were last time.

00:58:36.000 We can't do anything, right? If that was the Senate, it wouldn't even be close.

00:58:40.000 Yeah. But Kevin's doing a great job.

00:58:41.000 Kevin McCarthy's doing a great job of keeping everybody together right now.

00:58:44.000 We're on the same page. These hearings are making a difference.

00:58:46.000 You know, we're exposing a lot of stuff that's going on.

00:58:49.000 We're, you know, because they're forced to cover it now.

00:58:51.000 They got to put it on C-SPAN. They got to cover it.

00:58:52.000 And some of the networks that never covered any of this stuff before are now forced to cover it.

00:58:55.000 Because we're having hearings in Congress about it.

00:58:58.000 And so we're opening the eyes of a lot of Americans out there that didn't know what was going on.

00:59:01.000 Because to be honest with you, if you watch CNN or CBSNBC, you have a completely different view of this world than if you actually out looking at what's really happening or getting reliable news.

00:59:13.000 Because they've covered stuff up.

00:59:14.000 They've just refused to talk about certain things.

00:59:16.000 They've spun things in favor of the liberals and the far left.

00:59:20.000 So we're exposing a lot of what's going on through the hearing process.

00:59:23.000 We are going through and we're manipulating some of these bills and appropriations, like I said, and we're starting to tighten down the purse strings and put restrictions on how the money's spent.

00:59:31.000 And, you know, I think that we're going to pass stuff and these bills that come out, they're not going to be completely wasted.

00:59:36.000 Even last time when I was passing stuff, when I was putting bills together, they were going absolutely nowhere because we didn't have the House, the Senate, or...

00:59:43.000 Those bills were ready to go, man, and they were meaningful bills, and as soon as we got the House back, we put those back in, and we're recycling those, and they're passing the House now.

00:59:50.000 Next time we're going to do the same thing, they're going to pass the House, the Senate, and they're going to get signed by President Trump.

00:59:55.000 So we're pushing forward, and I think we are.

00:59:58.000 I am pleased with what we're doing with the small majority that we have, but I want to do more.

01:00:02.000 So what would be your top priorities right now?

01:00:05.000 You know, again, we talk about, you know, there's a thousand things we could all go after.

01:00:09.000 There's a hundred that you could prioritize.

01:00:10.000 What would be your top two or three that you want to make sure we can do things?

01:00:15.000 And, you know, where perhaps also you can effectuate the most change, right?

01:00:18.000 There's going to be things... Military stuff, obviously.

01:00:21.000 Medical stuff, obviously.

01:00:23.000 You have a better insight.

01:00:24.000 You have an understanding of how to actually be the driving force behind it, not just a vote for it.

01:00:28.000 The thing that scares me more than anything is the weaponization of our government, right?

01:00:31.000 When you have the IRS, the FBI, and the DOJ picking winners and losers and specifically going after people that have conservative values, people that don't agree with the administration, that is super dangerous.

01:00:42.000 It doesn't get any more scary than that, right?

01:00:43.000 Because these people... Yeah, Mal would be blushing right now.

01:00:48.000 A concerned mother at a PTA meeting is a domestic terrorist.

01:00:51.000 Now, if you're looting a store in the name of George Floyd, that's social justice.

01:00:56.000 That's fine. I think that's one thing.

01:00:59.000 I think that's number one.

01:01:01.000 Number two is the southern border.

01:01:03.000 Freaking disaster. We've got to shut the southern border down. 0.98

01:01:06.000 It's a disaster on so many levels right now.

01:01:08.000 Well, you're a congressman from Texas, so talk about just...

01:01:11.000 Because people say, oh, well, it's not...

01:01:13.000 The fentanyl crisis, it's all coming from there.

01:01:15.000 Human trafficking, sex trafficking, child trafficking.

01:01:18.000 I mean, it's literally ground zero for it.

01:01:20.000 And the Democrats, like, they're not even paying attention.

01:01:22.000 Even the border patrol chief, I guess, the other day came out and was like, hey, man, we have no control.

01:01:27.000 And it's not like they couldn't, because they did under Trump.

01:01:30.000 And Mayorkas is missing.

01:01:31.000 You know, borders are. Kamala Harris is, you know, cackling somewhere like an insane person. 1.00

01:01:37.000 Right. Doesn't matter. 0.63

01:01:39.000 Yeah. Well, I mean, it's bigger than people think.

01:01:42.000 I mean, I just was watching the news right before I came over here, and there was a general that was testifying before Congress who was saying that we should expect another 9-11-type terrorist attack or something similar to that within six months.

01:01:52.000 Why is that, Don? Because whenever we left Afghanistan, we pulled out of Bognum, And we left that prison where it was nothing but ISIS. Hardened ISIS fighters.

01:02:00.000 Not Al-Qaeda. ISIS fighters that we had in Bagram.

01:02:02.000 7,000 of them in that prison.

01:02:04.000 We let them go. The one that killed the 13 troops at the gate, that was an ISIS fighter that got out of that prison.

01:02:09.000 Those people are finding their way to our southern border now.

01:02:12.000 I promise you are. We are.

01:02:13.000 Just since October, we've had 62 people that we know of that are on the terror watch list that we've caught crossing our border.

01:02:21.000 Those are the people that try harder than anybody not to get caught.

01:02:23.000 God knows how many of them are going to cross at this border.

01:02:25.000 If they caught 62, you know, I mean, you have a thousands of mile long border. 0.84

01:02:31.000 You have people well funded.

01:02:33.000 Like, there's a way to get across.

01:02:34.000 Like, you know, if some, you know, poor immigrant family from Guatemala is able to sneak across with reasonable success rates, despite going through, obviously, a torturous and scary process, like... 1.00

01:02:45.000 Imagine if you had a little backing.

01:02:47.000 Imagine you had the ability to pay for a little bit of assistance.

01:02:49.000 I mean, it's got to be the easiest thing in the world.

01:02:51.000 And we've got ten times as many of those people since October of last year.

01:02:55.000 Ten times more than the entire four years of the Trump administration, right?

01:02:59.000 Because we had our border locked down and we were treating our border like a serious issue.

01:03:03.000 And we treated these people like a real national security threat.

01:03:05.000 I guarantee you, there are terror cells that are setting up in the United States right now as we speak.

01:03:11.000 And we're going to go back after it happens and we're going to find out that they crossed our southern border because our southern border was wide open.

01:03:17.000 So like all of the things, I mean, is it incompetence or is it intentional?

01:03:21.000 It's intentional. Is it just about, you know, manipulating the vote?

01:03:25.000 You know, you can get X number of, you know, immigrants to come through, therefore it's okay and, you know, we're going to change the way we vote and all is good. 1.00

01:03:34.000 You can't create a disaster like our southern border unless you want to, right?

01:03:37.000 Like you said, all they had to do was do nothing.

01:03:40.000 President Trump had everything in place.

01:03:42.000 The border was secure. We had Remain in Mexico. 0.97

01:03:44.000 We had Title 42. We had all these issues.

01:03:48.000 No incentive for people to come here.

01:03:50.000 We had everything taken care of.

01:03:51.000 The border was secure. All they had to do was not touch it.

01:03:54.000 just leave it alone and worry about something else.

01:03:57.000 They went in and they intentionally undermined everything that he did, mainly a lot of parts,

01:04:00.000 just because it has his name on it, and they destroyed us in the process.

01:04:03.000 But they're doing this intentionally.

01:04:05.000 They're trying to get as many people over here as possible because they honestly think, you mark my word,

01:04:09.000 people talk about, well, you know, they want to make them citizens so they can vote.

01:04:12.000 They don't care about them being citizens.

01:04:13.000 They just want to let them vote.

01:04:14.000 Yeah, citizens means nothing.

01:04:16.000 That's the whole difference.

01:04:18.000 They live here. They should be able to vote here.

01:04:20.000 They live here. They're going to abandon the citizenship that goes with voting.

01:04:23.000 They're just going to say, if you live here, you can be able to vote here.

01:04:25.000 We've got people from 120 different countries crossing our border.

01:04:28.000 So what are the policies that we could enact?

01:04:30.000 Obviously, we had sort of stay and remain in Mexico.

01:04:32.000 That seemed to be effective.

01:04:35.000 What are the other policies that we could implement to secure the border?

01:04:38.000 Can you do anything at the state level?

01:04:40.000 Could you put pressure on Governor Abbott down in Texas to be able to do this?

01:04:45.000 You're probably not going to get it out of Arizona because you have liberal policies.

01:04:49.000 And again, they're okay with this.

01:04:51.000 I mean, let's call it what it is.

01:04:52.000 It's an invasion, right? You can do some of it in Texas at the state level.

01:04:56.000 One of the things that slowed it down a little bit, I think, is the threat from the Biden administration that if he uses the Texas Department of Public Safety, our Highway Patrol officers, to help secure the border and to start sending people back, that he will actually arrest those law enforcement officers.

01:05:09.000 So we're going to arrest law enforcement officers for enforcing the laws because they want to selectively look at the immigrants. 0.98

01:05:20.000 It's dystopian bullshit. 1.00

01:05:22.000 It's crazy. You wouldn't think that you could actually have this conversation, and yet if you've been watching for the last six years, none of it should be a surprise. 1.00

01:05:28.000 You know how they treat law enforcement officers.

01:05:30.000 They're always looking for some reason to come after them legally on a personal level, right?

01:05:33.000 They got rid of qualified immunity and everything else.

01:05:35.000 So it's really putting those law enforcement officers at risk if you start asking them to do the federal government's job, which is what they'd have to do because the federal government will not do their job.

01:05:42.000 But the first thing you need, the most important thing you need to secure our border, you need a president that has a relationship with the Mexican president.

01:05:49.000 And it doesn't have to be like all lovey-dovey.

01:05:51.000 It's like your dad, he basically, he told the Mexican- Carrot and stick. 1.00

01:05:55.000 Right. They need us way more than we need them.

01:05:58.000 Let's not forget that, right? And your dad told them like, we're going to do this, we're going to do that.

01:06:01.000 And they said, well, I don't know. And he said, fine.

01:06:03.000 You know, Monday morning, every truck that crosses the border is going to have a 25% tariff on it right off the bat.

01:06:08.000 And you know, so we start, we use those- Next day they call, President Trump, we'd like to work with you.

01:06:12.000 Hey, we want to help out.

01:06:14.000 And it's so easy.

01:06:15.000 Yeah. You know, if you're just actually willing to do anything, but you know, clearly they're not.

01:06:21.000 But you've got Joe Biden, right? Everybody knows whether it's, you know, whether it's Putin or whether it's President Xi or whether it's the Mexican president, they all see Biden as a squish.

01:06:30.000 He's just, I mean, you know, they don't have any respect for That's what's worse. 0.99

01:06:33.000 It's not just our allies being like, holy shit, America's not there anymore for us. 0.99

01:06:37.000 It's our enemies chomping at the bit. 0.98

01:06:39.000 Whatever China's plan was for taking over Taiwan, it's been rapidly accelerated because we've been displaying weakness.

01:06:47.000 That's the nature of predation, right?

01:06:50.000 A predator sees weakness.

01:06:52.000 They go after the weakest.

01:06:54.000 Now America for the first time perhaps in modern history just looked at it as a, they're

01:06:59.000 laughing at us.

01:07:00.000 You know, when they watch our people, you know, again, I want to learn about white rage, 0.83

01:07:03.000 not winning wars.

01:07:04.000 You know, we're shocked and dismayed the Taliban wasn't more diverse and inclusive.

01:07:08.000 They're looking at it and be like, seriously?

01:07:09.000 Don, they are literally laughing at us.

01:07:11.000 I was at the Munich Security Summit in Munich, Germany a few weeks ago, and I was shocked at how many other people from other countries that I was out having dinner with and stuff were literally laughing at Biden.

01:07:21.000 They think he's a joke, right?

01:07:22.000 And like you said, our allies don't trust us or respect us anymore, and our adversaries don't respect us or fear us anymore.

01:07:32.000 But if you had somebody who was strong and basically told the Mexican president, this is a national security issue for us.

01:07:38.000 We are going to fix this with or without you.

01:07:40.000 You will help us or not.

01:07:42.000 Either way, we're doing this. I say you could reestablish Remain in Mexico right off the bat.

01:07:47.000 We could put Title 42 back together and we could figure out a way to do that.

01:07:50.000 We finished building our wall.

01:07:52.000 And more importantly, at this particular point with the fentanyl the way it is and everything and some of the drug cartels and how powerful they are getting right now, it's time to send our military back over there.

01:07:59.000 Not to put troops in harm's way, not to put troops on the ground, but we have drone technology, we have cyber technology, we have special forces units that can train them and go after their labs, go after their supply routes. 0.94

01:08:11.000 Yeah, they're bitch-slapping the Mexican military right now. 0.97

01:08:13.000 I mean, the cartels are. They control it, and they have inside, I mean, everyone's sort of on the payroll, right? 0.97

01:08:18.000 We need to step up that aid, whether it's direct or indirect, frankly, that someone will try to criticize me for saying it, but that's sort of the no-brainer, but they won't do it.

01:08:28.000 We need to treat these terrorist organizations like terrorists.

01:08:31.000 They are terrorists.

01:08:33.000 The amount of Americans that have been killed directly or indirectly through the fentanyl crisis, through the border crisis, through the human trafficking crisis, that would be a pandemic of epic proportions, and yet Yeah, I make the argument all the time. 0.98

01:08:47.000 I want to see Russia be defeated. 0.97

01:08:51.000 I want to see the Ukrainians get their land back, all this kind of stuff or whatever. 0.98

01:08:54.000 But I make the point all the time. How many Americans die every day in Ukraine?

01:08:58.000 Zero. How many Americans die every day right here in the United States because of the drug cartels?

01:09:02.000 300 a day. Yeah, but we got $130 billion for Ukraine, but Americans are like, screw you guys. 0.99

01:09:08.000 Speaking of pandemics, You were there in the White House during the start of the pandemic. 0.92

01:09:16.000 You were there during the Fauci.

01:09:18.000 What did you see there?

01:09:20.000 What were the biggest missteps?

01:09:21.000 What were the outright lies?

01:09:23.000 Is there a path to restoring faith in our public health officials when we watched it get so politicized?

01:09:30.000 We saw it with you. That was the beginning of it.

01:09:31.000 But then we saw this guy.

01:09:33.000 Whatever he said was right, even if his emails contradicted everything he said.

01:09:37.000 There was no... Talk about that, because I think that's important, because if something like that happens again, why would any American have faith in anything that government officials are telling them these days? 0.90

01:09:48.000 Because clearly it's all been proven to be bullshit, even the things that were obvious, like the Wuhan lab leak theory. 0.83

01:09:53.000 Of course it started there. But if you said that, you're out. 0.99

01:09:57.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:09:59.000 And honestly, I wish I'd have been there when it started, but I actually left the White House and retired from the military and filed for office in December of 2019, a month before this all started.

01:10:08.000 And if I had been there, I feel like I maybe could have had some kind of influence on it, specifically in throwing up some red flags about Fauci, to be honest with you, because I knew the guy from before, man.

01:10:16.000 I knew what he's about. I've been talking about that because I think it's fascinating for people.

01:10:19.000 Like, you know, he's been made into this deity.

01:10:22.000 Yeah. And yet, he's been wrong about everything since the 80s.

01:10:25.000 How does a guy like that, who's clearly not the best doctor, clearly not, I don't know, probably the best bureaucrat.

01:10:32.000 He probably was great.

01:10:33.000 Or that.

01:10:35.000 And he was probably great at screwing Anyone else who was an up-and-comer, meaning making sure that those people don't ever see the light of day.

01:10:43.000 It's sort of like what we're talking about, stacking the deck in these things.

01:10:46.000 Like, someone who could have been good at handling a pandemic, no, no, no, that guy's a threat to my sovereignty, my being a god.

01:10:53.000 And the left does seem to do that.

01:10:55.000 They make gods, right? Greta Thunberg was a god of government. 1.00

01:10:58.000 Then it became Fauci for a little while.

01:10:59.000 Now that he's discredited, we move on.

01:11:01.000 The next god is Zelensky. 0.93

01:11:02.000 He's the new god of the left, and Ukraine is the biggest issue in the world, and it's... 0.99

01:11:06.000 But it's not, but that's the way they function.

01:11:08.000 Well, with regards to Fauci, I mean, you look at Napoleon syndrome, and this guy's like the textbook for that, right?

01:11:13.000 I mean, he's got all of it, you know?

01:11:15.000 And, you know, this guy, here's what we're finding out now.

01:11:17.000 This is why these hearings that we're doing are important, because I'm on the select committee for the origins of COVID and for COVID, right?

01:11:22.000 And we're finding out already. We're digging into stuff.

01:11:24.000 We got witnesses now.

01:11:25.000 We got whistleblowers that are coming out, and they're talking about what happened.

01:11:28.000 We're getting access to emails.

01:11:30.000 We have emails that show...

01:11:31.000 You know why Anthony Fauci was the way he was the entire time?

01:11:34.000 Because he realized day one that he had funded this research.

01:11:37.000 And he may be a rock star of the left right now, but history will reveal that this man funded the actual pandemic.

01:11:43.000 And he knew he did.

01:11:45.000 And lied about it.

01:11:47.000 Not only did he lie about it, he got people on the telephone that were saying basically this looks like it came from the lab.

01:11:53.000 It looks like it came from the lab in Wuhan.

01:11:54.000 Early on, we have information regarding those phone calls.

01:11:58.000 He enjoyed being a hero so much that he was never going to let the true origins of it come out because that would be a threat to his being on the cover of some bullshit Vanity Fair type magazine that no one actually reads.

01:12:09.000 He realized he was going to be the villain.

01:12:10.000 If it was exposed to the world that he actually funded it, he wouldn't be their darling anymore, right?

01:12:15.000 And he knew that was coming down the pike. 0.93

01:12:17.000 So he got these people together on these phone calls and he coerced them.

01:12:20.000 And he told them, I don't want you talking about that.

01:12:22.000 I don't want you talking about, like, we need to come up.

01:12:24.000 I don't think that it's possible that it's man-made.

01:12:26.000 It had to have come from a wet market.

01:12:28.000 And that was his talking point. He pushed everybody else.

01:12:30.000 These people were disagreeing with him on the phone call.

01:12:32.000 Two days later, two days later, these people came out publicly and were saying the same thing that Anthony Fauci was saying.

01:12:36.000 Guess what? We find out a few months later every single one of them got million dollar NIH grants, right?

01:12:41.000 He used the money that he had and he has access to millions and millions of dollars in his job that he gets to decide who gets these million dollar grants and who doesn't.

01:12:50.000 Tons of money. And he used that power that he had with the purse strings from the NIH to make people say what he wanted them to say and cover his tracks so that we couldn't tell right off the bat.

01:13:00.000 What we're finding out now is that that came from the lab in Wuhan.

01:13:03.000 It was man-made. It was gain-of-functional.

01:13:05.000 They all knew it, but they were bought off.

01:13:06.000 And Anthony Fauci and NIH funded it.

01:13:08.000 And they all knew it. They all knew it.

01:13:10.000 And he bought them off. Because I mean, again, I don't just want accountability for Fauci.

01:13:13.000 I mean, that's a great place to start because he was clearly the biggest manipulator.

01:13:17.000 I mean, he's an evil villain as far as I'm concerned.

01:13:19.000 There's no redeeming qualities to this guy.

01:13:22.000 And yet he's still a hero to the left for some reason.

01:13:24.000 And I think we can objectively see what you're saying, right? 0.99

01:13:26.000 I mean, if people were like, wait a minute, bullshit. 0.99

01:13:29.000 Like, of course it came from the lab. 0.99

01:13:31.000 No, it's not. And guess what?

01:13:32.000 If you agree with me and you say this publicly, You're going to benefit in your career.

01:13:38.000 And what's scarier is that so many doctors just went along with it.

01:13:42.000 And I will say the scariest part of the pandemic wasn't the pandemic, it was itself, was for me, watching how many Americans Just went along blind like sheep.

01:13:51.000 And I was like, I thought freedom meant something to them.

01:13:54.000 Because it does to me.

01:13:55.000 And I was like, oh my god.

01:13:57.000 They all got in line.

01:13:59.000 They all lived afraid.

01:14:01.000 And I feel like guys like Fauci weaponized that fear.

01:14:05.000 They did. And not only they weaponized that, but they went to all the state boards that give you your medical license, and they basically, all the state boards, which are very liberal in general, some of the more liberal people run those things or whatever, and they were oh so happy to take that.

01:14:19.000 They fed on that power and that authority that they got, just like little Blue Town mayors and governors and everybody else did. 0.82

01:14:25.000 They got off on the power and the authority that they got from these mandates and from these lockdowns and everything.

01:14:30.000 They took those state boards and they used those state boards to threaten doctors who talked about hydroxychloroquine or any of these other...

01:14:37.000 Because it's proven and cheap.

01:14:39.000 So we can't have that.

01:14:41.000 It's readily available.

01:14:43.000 It's cheap. Pfizer's not going to make $12 billion.

01:14:46.000 And it's super safe. We've given billions of doses of it.

01:14:48.000 And I can see that, because people are like, will Trump listen to Fauci?

01:14:51.000 At the time, it's easy to look back now.

01:14:54.000 Imagine he didn't, what the media would do.

01:14:57.000 They would have impeached him for not going to this.

01:15:00.000 And so they weaponized that against everyone.

01:15:03.000 So I love watching the Monday morning quarterbacks.

01:15:05.000 I would have fired him.

01:15:06.000 No, you wouldn't have. You're full of shit. 1.00

01:15:08.000 You can say that now because you were never in the position to actually do it. 1.00

01:15:11.000 And again, even me.

01:15:14.000 A sort of natural cynic.

01:15:16.000 I'd been through Russia, Russia, Russia.

01:15:18.000 I'd seen what they'd do.

01:15:19.000 I'd seen what they were willing to do.

01:15:21.000 I've been in the room and then seen what was reported about what happened in the room.

01:15:24.000 And I'm like, wait a minute. There's not even like a pretense of objectivity, not even a semblance of truth.

01:15:30.000 And yet, didn't stop them from actually saying it.

01:15:33.000 So even I knew with my cynical mindset at that point after like three years of it, I was like, well, there's no way.

01:15:42.000 Like, there's no way these guys would lie about, I mean, this is a pandemic.

01:15:45.000 I mean, and again, I don't, if you weren't in, you know, if you didn't have pre-existing conditions, if you didn't, I didn't think it's the end of the world.

01:15:52.000 I mean, but it was real for a lot of people, obviously, killed a lot of people.

01:15:55.000 So I'm not saying it's not real.

01:15:57.000 I'm just saying it wasn't, You know, as dire to everyone.

01:16:01.000 You know, for example, I had it.

01:16:02.000 I didn't even know I had it. This is why Biden is so different than Trump as far as the way they treated COVID. Because whenever President Trump took over, you know, when COVID happened, nobody knew anything about COVID. We were being told by everybody, including the Chinese, to some extent, that this was going to be the pandemic that was going to wipe out half the population of the earth, right? And that virus is probably out there.

01:16:20.000 Didn't stop them from sending people to America. 0.96

01:16:21.000 They couldn't travel to Shanghai or the other major cities of China, but we'll send them to America to make sure we distribute this thing among And they're responsible.

01:16:27.000 The WHO's responsible.

01:16:28.000 They knew some of that. They covered and everything.

01:16:30.000 Anthony Fauci helped them because he immediately realized he was implicated in it.

01:16:34.000 But, you know, Trump did exactly what Trump should have done.

01:16:36.000 Trump said, you know, whoa, we got to shut everything down and we figure out what's going on, right?

01:16:40.000 And what do we have in the... Do we have anything in the hopper to stop this?

01:16:42.000 Get to work on a vaccine, right?

01:16:43.000 And then, you know, he basically reached out.

01:16:45.000 He said, well, who do we need to reach to? Well, the National Institute of Health, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, Anthony Fauci.

01:16:54.000 The number one authority of all infectious diseases in the entire United States, you had to involve him.

01:17:00.000 You had to involve the Surgeon General.

01:17:02.000 You had to involve the CDC director.

01:17:04.000 These are all people. What he didn't know was that these people were motivated by reasons that were impure.

01:17:09.000 They were motivated. And you would never, again, maybe we were all naive, but again, I think at that point my eyes had been opened to just how corrupt our systems are, but I still couldn't believe Like medicine.

01:17:20.000 Yeah, I know. Could be that corrupted.

01:17:22.000 And so we're sort of at the, I guess it's what, you know, three years for 15 days to stop the spread.

01:17:26.000 And then Trump sort of, and that's the talking point, Trump shut down.

01:17:30.000 No, he shut down everything. Then he left it to the states.

01:17:32.000 Because that's what Republicans do. 0.87

01:17:33.000 You leave it to the states to the side, right?

01:17:35.000 And as he started figuring stuff out, he started making corrections.

01:17:37.000 He got rid of the WHO. First thing they did was bring WHO back.

01:17:40.000 They're a big part of the problem, right?

01:17:41.000 Well, they're on the China payroll, and it's sort of obvious that we're pretending that these are objective players.

01:17:47.000 The Chinese do that. They get the cobalt mines because they show up with the briefcase of cash. 1.00

01:17:52.000 Let's not pretend the real world doesn't function the way it functions.

01:17:57.000 Yeah, absolutely. But, you know, Trump did everything he was supposed to do right off the bat.

01:18:00.000 He did everything that he was taking.

01:18:01.000 He was taking advice from the people he was supposed to be taking advice from.

01:18:04.000 But like I said, some of them were motivated by stuff that we didn't know at the time.

01:18:07.000 We found out now. Well, I hope you're on that for accountability purposes.

01:18:11.000 Oh, we're all over that. Because, you know, again, you're one of the few guys that understands, you know, the details of the medicine, you know, beside that.

01:18:16.000 I like, you know, I always love watching, you know, I did a segment last week talking about the, you know, the bank that collapsed, you know, Silicon Valley Bank.

01:18:22.000 It's like, well, they had an improv actor on the board.

01:18:25.000 Like, they had one banker. Like, you know, like, we And you have more people that actually understand it.

01:18:28.000 And I think Congress is guilty of that so often as well, right?

01:18:32.000 They get on the banking or finance committees because they have seniority, not because they know anything about finance.

01:18:37.000 And that's sort of problematic, right?

01:18:39.000 So I'd love to see you on that.

01:18:42.000 So you brought up sort of Trump and you were there for three years.

01:18:47.000 What are the good White House Trump stories?

01:18:49.000 Oh, you know, I got a lot of good ones.

01:18:52.000 I mean, one of the ones I write about in my book that I'm most proud of, honestly, is the whole transgender thing.

01:18:59.000 A lot of people don't know this, right?

01:19:00.000 But he was in the White House one day, and he wanted to ban the transgender in the military, right?

01:19:07.000 Because Obama had put that back in place.

01:19:09.000 You know, it obviously doesn't make any sense.

01:19:10.000 I mean, it's bad for morale.

01:19:11.000 You know, there's a variety of reasons to do that.

01:19:13.000 They're not deployable, all kinds of stuff, you know.

01:19:16.000 So, they basically had been talking about, you know, banning transgenders in the military.

01:19:20.000 And, you know, he was getting all kinds of advice from senior folks in the White House, from senior staff, from people at DOD, all these admirals and generals and stuff that were in there and everything.

01:19:27.000 And, you know, they were still, you know, kind of...

01:19:30.000 Even then, you know, they were already, like, pandering because of the Obama years.

01:19:34.000 Yeah, well, you had eight years of Obama to sort of set up this notion that, you know, the woke stuff is real, that...

01:19:38.000 That's a lot of time.

01:19:40.000 Eight years in someone's career, like, a lot of good guys that you'd want in there to sort of wash out or flush out or retire.

01:19:46.000 And you can replace a lot of people in that mind.

01:19:48.000 You know what I figured out a while back is one of the reasons they do this, one of the reasons these generals, you know, like Millie, you know, white male, seems to be basically, you know, saying everything, you know, basically calling, you know, people that look like himself racist and, you know, just, I mean, you know, it doesn't make any sense sometimes, you know, is because when they get out, they can't lobby right away, right?

01:20:06.000 Correct. There's rules on that, but you know what they can do?

01:20:07.000 They can sit on boards. You know what these boards do?

01:20:09.000 These big corporate boards? You can't sit on those boards unless you've demonstrated how damn woke you are, right? 0.96

01:20:14.000 Yeah, so you're like the token conservative, because you're a general, and you did all this time. 0.89

01:20:18.000 So, like, those boards, so, and I think it may have been you, because I was wondering, I'd asked the question, and I forget, like, I think we had this conversation months ago, because I didn't know where it came from.

01:20:28.000 Like, how's the guy that spent his entire life in the military?

01:20:30.000 Like, I still had this, like, there's gotta be something.

01:20:33.000 And they're like, oh yeah, because there's a general sentiment, other than Ukraine, maybe it's changing it, but I think the average American on both sides doesn't want to be in the endless wars.

01:20:43.000 So there's no longer like, hey, I'm in the military, I'll go be on the board of Raytheon, because there's just We're good to go. 0.95

01:21:11.000 The next step is Disney, or Netflix, or this, and they need their token conservative, so we get the token conservative that believes in the woke agenda and all of the bullshit associated there with it.

01:21:21.000 Yeah, and like I was saying, this is one of the reasons I love Trump, because he listened to all that stuff, and he knew what he wanted to do, but they were trying to talk him out of it, and they're like, hey, you can't do it right now, it's not politically the right time to do it, and we've got to do a study first, and he's like, well, how long does the study take?

01:21:33.000 Well, it'll take us six months to get the study together, it'll take us a year to do the study, and then Maybe we can do this.

01:21:38.000 It'll be about a year and a half. We can get this done.

01:21:40.000 We'll do it. We'll get it done, but it's going to take some time.

01:21:42.000 They were slow rolling it. They were giving them all these excuses why they couldn't do it politically now and so on and so forth.

01:21:47.000 He was still mulling over it.

01:21:49.000 They thought they'd won that fight or whatever.

01:21:51.000 Then he got on the helicopter. We're lifting off the South Lawn.

01:21:54.000 I'm sitting over on the bench where I normally sit.

01:21:56.000 He goes, Doc, come here for a second. I come up and I sit down next to him.

01:21:59.000 He goes, let me ask you a question.

01:22:00.000 What do you think about transgenders in the military? 1.00

01:22:02.000 I said, well, sir, I think it's bullshit. 1.00

01:22:04.000 And he goes, why? And I said, well, look, so they come in the military, right? 1.00

01:22:07.000 And what do they do? A lot of them are coming into the military just to get the surgery done now.

01:22:10.000 They come in. We're paying for the surgery.

01:22:12.000 That's like their signing bonus.

01:22:14.000 So if you're already like, and again, I don't care what you do when you're an adult and stuff like that, but now pushing in on the children.

01:22:21.000 But if you're signing out for the military because they're going to pay for your gender reassignment surgery, I don't know, man.

01:22:27.000 I don't know that I want that person, sir.

01:22:29.000 I think there's plenty of other things for them to do than, you know, be given a gun and put in pressure situations.

01:22:33.000 And that doesn't happen right away, right?

01:22:35.000 Before they even do any of that stuff, they got to be in hormonal therapy for like, you know, a year or something before they- Which also changes your mindset naturally, right?

01:22:41.000 Right, and all that, you know, and so I'm a firm believer that if you don't know if you're a man or a woman or whatever, you're confused about that, you probably have some issues you need to work out before you decide you want to be in the military.

01:22:49.000 That's my thinking to start with. Not only that, you come in and they put you on this hormonal therapy.

01:22:53.000 They get this long program that lasts a year and a half to two years to transition you from a man to a woman or a woman to a man.

01:22:58.000 You're not deployable during that time.

01:22:59.000 You know what? Guess who else gets to deploy?

01:23:01.000 Everybody else that's in the unit gets to take your spot in Iraq and Afghanistan.

01:23:04.000 That's real? Yes, they're not deployable during that time.

01:23:07.000 So you could sign up for like a two-year tour.

01:23:08.000 Yeah. Okay. Get your gender reassignment surgery and not actually have to do the day job for a long... 0.57

01:23:16.000 Yeah, because a lot of the stuff they're doing, they can't be overseas.

01:23:18.000 They've got to get their hormonal shots and stuff every day when they're going through this process. 0.93

01:23:21.000 So they have to be near a medical treatment facility.

01:23:23.000 They can't be deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan.

01:23:26.000 So I made all these arguments about... It feels like the biggest way to sort of game that system, check the military box, did that even...

01:23:32.000 You know, I went through basic training and then didn't do anything.

01:23:34.000 It's like... Wow.

01:23:35.000 I didn't realize it was that bad. I told the president, too.

01:23:37.000 I was like, here's the other thing, too. 0.99

01:23:40.000 Explain to me why it makes sense that if my wife, not that she does, but if my wife wanted to go to the plastic surgeon or the surgeon in Walter Rader at the military hospital, and she wanted to get a new set of tits. 1.00

01:23:52.000 That's considered an elective procedure. 0.98

01:23:53.000 She can't do that. That's not authorized, right?

01:23:55.000 What if she identified as someone with big tits but doesn't have? 1.00

01:24:01.000 But the thing is, me as a man, if I go in and I say, I want new tits, then that's a medically appropriate and necessary procedure, right? 1.00

01:24:08.000 It's just crap the way they treat this stuff. 0.99

01:24:11.000 So I went through all these things about- So you would be able to get a government-funded boob job- Of course, if I told them I wanted to... 0.99

01:24:18.000 But a woman wouldn't. 1.00

01:24:20.000 Absolutely. I'd say, I want to be a woman.

01:24:21.000 I want to rest. They'd do it, right?

01:24:24.000 Hey, guys, I got news for you.

01:24:27.000 I'm not going to do that. It's fucking over, okay? 0.92

01:24:30.000 It's over. Civilization has ended. 0.99

01:24:33.000 No, but again, I... You try to make light of it.

01:24:37.000 I spend my time, you know, memes, because I feel like it shows how ridiculous it is, and I don't want it to ever be hopeless for people, but think about the conversation we're having, and it's real, from a doctor, admiral, congressman. 1.00

01:24:52.000 This shit's going on. 0.99

01:24:53.000 We talk about it, and we laugh about it, but it's happening every day. 0.99

01:24:58.000 We're creating incentive structures that encourage Perhaps the people who probably need the most help in society to join the military and be in high-stress combat-type situations or maybe avoid them altogether to be able to pay for it, all funded by the U.S. taxpayer.

01:25:17.000 Then we say, well, you, Navy SEAL, who's been a badass patriot your whole life fighting, you know, the difference between, like, I'm not allowed to, but I think you'd probably agree that there's probably a distinction between levels of even serving.

01:25:31.000 The guy that's done 12 tours versus the guy that's the chauffeur for the general somewhere on a base.

01:25:37.000 Both great, but not quite the same.

01:25:42.000 Those guys are being singled out. 0.96

01:25:44.000 Okay, it's okay to get rid of you because you don't go along with a vax of unproven science that's bullshit to someone who has no pre-existing conditions. 0.98

01:25:54.000 The SEAL teams. The people who are literally in the best physical shape in the freaking world and like, that guy, he can get COVID every day and they'd be like, nothing. 0.98

01:26:04.000 It's like, just walk it off. 0.98

01:26:07.000 It's lunacy. But it's going on every day.

01:26:11.000 So what happened then with Trump when you were like, okay, it's bullshit. 0.99

01:26:14.000 Was he like, yeah, I kind of agree? 0.98

01:26:15.000 Yeah, so he called me up there and he said, what do you think about transgers in the military?

01:26:18.000 And I said, I looked around, I was like, off the record?

01:26:21.000 And he goes, yeah, yeah. So I told him what I thought and everything.

01:26:23.000 And he's like, well, he goes, yeah, you're absolutely right.

01:26:25.000 And he goes, you know, they're trying to tell me this, trying to tell me that.

01:26:28.000 And I said, well, I said, you're going to do it, right?

01:26:31.000 And he goes, I'm going to do it. And I said, so what does it matter if you do it now or you do it six months from now, you do it a year from now?

01:26:35.000 It's not like they're not going to come after you six months or a year from now.

01:26:39.000 It's going to be the same outcome as far as the far left and everybody else is concerned.

01:26:42.000 And he was like, you know what?

01:26:43.000 You're right. We're going to do it. And then the next morning, he announced that no transgender is in the military.

01:26:49.000 And he said he had discussed with his admirals and generals or with his high-ranking...

01:26:53.000 There was a scramble.

01:26:59.000 Who's been talking to the president about this?

01:27:01.000 And I was like, not I'm going to remain silent.

01:27:05.000 That's why I love him because he does things that other people won't do.

01:27:08.000 If he thinks something's the right thing to do, he will do it regardless of how many people stand in the Oval Office in front of him.

01:27:14.000 It could be 99 out of 100 telling him not to do it for a variety of reasons.

01:27:17.000 They all got their own motivations, but if he thinks it's something important, he will do it anyways.

01:27:22.000 He will get criticized for it afterwards and three or four months later we'll find out that he was right and they were wrong.

01:27:27.000 It's repeated itself over and over and over in the Trump administration.

01:27:31.000 What about sort of personal stories?

01:27:32.000 That's kind of a cool policy story.

01:27:34.000 Because again, what people don't understand, though, why don't you just do this?

01:27:37.000 It's like, it's not as easy, you know, you may be the most powerful man in the world, but you have so many levels of this.

01:27:42.000 And when you're 12 generals, and again, if you came out against Trump, you could be a general in the military who's supposed to be apolitical serving the president, and it didn't matter.

01:27:50.000 Yeah. You know, if you came out against Biden, oh my God, it's the end of the world.

01:27:54.000 If you came out and said something about Obama, I mean, what they did to you is the perfect example.

01:27:59.000 It's like, there's just different rules.

01:28:02.000 People don't understand that.

01:28:03.000 And you know, when you have the entire might of everyone else in the US government saying, well, we disagree with Trump and he's wrong, even if he's proven right six months later, you still get the objective, right?

01:28:14.000 Wuhan lab leak theory, of course it was, but they weaponized it to get what they wanted. 0.52

01:28:20.000 Every aspect, like we're laughing on it now and we're dunking on them.

01:28:23.000 Of course we were right. Guess what?

01:28:24.000 They won. They got everything that they wanted out of it.

01:28:28.000 Who cares? There's no consequence for being wrong two years later, as we've seen in government.

01:28:32.000 There's no consequence for total incompetence, as we've seen.

01:28:36.000 And I do it myself, dunking on the victories, because of course we were right.

01:28:41.000 But what we're missing is the big picture, is that they still got what they wanted.

01:28:45.000 Yeah, they still got what they wanted.

01:28:46.000 And there's no accountability now, so they'll do it again.

01:28:48.000 Yeah, at the end of the Obama administration, a lot of people that were political appointees, knowing they were going to lose their job and the next administration came in that was a Republican administration, they took jobs as career employees, right?

01:28:58.000 SES is in the career side or whatever.

01:29:00.000 You can't get rid of those people, right?

01:29:01.000 So the whole government was inundated with those people.

01:29:03.000 And I think one of the problems that the only thing Trump did wrong when he first came in, to be honest with you, is he made some assumptions that weren't right.

01:29:11.000 And he assumed he got elected president of the United States, he rolls in.

01:29:14.000 The executive office of the president, all of these executive branches that belong to him, that they now share his agenda and they're going to help him push his agenda.

01:29:22.000 He didn't realize that two or three levels down, there's these career employees that are liberal, that are woke, that have been put there by previous administrations, and every single day they were doing everything they could to cut his legs out from under him.

01:29:35.000 And it wasn't obvious at first.

01:29:36.000 I mean, that was both the good and the bad of coming from outside. 1.00

01:29:40.000 Coming from outside, you didn't have to play by their rules, but coming from outside, you also wouldn't ever assume That's the case.

01:29:48.000 I think, you know, the best thing about, well, I mean, a lot of good policies, obviously, but I think the best thing about the Trump presidency, it opened other people's eyes. 0.99

01:29:55.000 And I think they also tried to make a very clear example of him, like, hey, if you come from the outside, this is the shit you're gonna take. 0.99

01:30:01.000 We're gonna impeach you for nonsense. 1.00

01:30:02.000 We're gonna do this. To discourage Anyone from ever wanting to even play that game?

01:30:07.000 Because if you're a successful businessman, billionaire, why would you give up that to go get shit on? 0.98

01:30:13.000 It wasn't even... It was the fact that he was a disruptor. 0.99

01:30:15.000 That freaked them out. That scared the shit out of everybody in D.C., including Republicans that were part of the deep state, right? 0.94

01:30:21.000 The deep state was real. 0.89

01:30:22.000 I mean, he didn't know it at first, you know, but he figured it out pretty quick.

01:30:25.000 Like, I'm getting my legs cut off from under me, and it's not coming from the outside.

01:30:27.000 It's coming from the inside, right?

01:30:29.000 Because it was all these deep state actors there.

01:30:30.000 They're real. But these people, they...

01:30:34.000 Nobody really liked it. They weren't really visible during the Obama administration because they shared the Obama administration's ideology, so they were helping, not undermining President Obama with his agenda.

01:30:44.000 But whenever President Trump came in, and he was a Republican, he was an outsider coming in, but more importantly, he literally started draining the swamp.

01:30:50.000 That freaked everybody out because these people are swamp creatures.

01:30:53.000 They know the swamp. They love the swamp.

01:30:55.000 The swamp is where they thrive.

01:30:56.000 It's where they make their money. Even these rhino Republicans, they thrive in the swamp, right? 0.96

01:31:02.000 And so there was a push, and you've seen it.

01:31:04.000 There were a whole bunch of people in the White House that were part of our administration that were Republicans.

01:31:08.000 They were also trying to cut his, you know, generosity and people like that.

01:31:11.000 They were trying to cut his legs out from underage.

01:31:13.000 Yeah, they also know, hey, whether it's four or eight years, there'll be a time after Trump.

01:31:16.000 There probably won't be another Trump Trump.

01:31:18.000 Yeah, right. And we got to make sure we still appease the powers that be in Washington.

01:31:22.000 Because again, that's that next job.

01:31:26.000 Everyone's like, oh, he's a government official.

01:31:29.000 He's doing it. No, most of these guys, very few are doing it for the right reasons at those levels.

01:31:34.000 They're just bureaucrats.

01:31:36.000 And they're good at excelling at being a bureaucrat, far better, and they're far more qualified at that than they are actually doing the job they're supposed to be doing.

01:31:43.000 Yeah, and a lot of them are kind of like you hear about, you know, university professors, man.

01:31:46.000 You know, they always say those that can do, those that can't teach.

01:31:49.000 It's the same with these career employees in the government, you know.

01:31:52.000 They can't do anything on the outside because they're literally mostly incompetent people that have risen to the level just because they've been part of the government.

01:31:58.000 You can't fire them. Yeah, so they're going to protect that.

01:32:01.000 They're protecting that at all costs because they have nowhere to go.

01:32:04.000 They're literally up against a wall.

01:32:05.000 Yeah, yeah. So best personal Trump story, non-policy.

01:32:09.000 Non-policy. That's a good one.

01:32:11.000 I got something I probably can't tell.

01:32:14.000 But no, I think that, you know, just my best memories of him and one of the reasons I got close to him early on was because, you know, I'd been there long enough to kind of know that I had to get to know him really quick because I didn't know any of you guys when you showed up, right?

01:32:27.000 Yeah. I pissed everybody in the Obama administration off that I was staying, but I stayed because a lot of the folks in the transition team were Bush folks that knew me during the Bush administration.

01:32:36.000 They asked me to stay.

01:32:37.000 They made a play for, like, you know, you need to make sure that the med unit doesn't get dropped.

01:32:40.000 Everything's kicking on all cylinders.

01:32:42.000 We don't want to, you know, mess that up, take that off our plate.

01:32:44.000 So I did. I agreed to stay six months.

01:32:45.000 I was just going to stay six months and get out.

01:32:47.000 But what happened is, like, I realized week one, I'd be listening to radio, you know, Secret Service.

01:32:53.000 I'd have the radio in, and they'd call out all those movements, you know, mogul here, mogul there, you know, moving to the elevator, right?

01:33:00.000 And so I'd get up out of, you know, my office.

01:33:02.000 You know, there's a lot of people. It's in the ground floor of the White House, directly below the President's bedroom, right at the bottom of the elevator.

01:33:07.000 And they'd call out, you know, that he was moving to the elevator.

01:33:09.000 I'd get up. I'd go stand in the door.

01:33:11.000 He'd walk out of the elevator, and I'd go, morning, Mr.

01:33:13.000 President. And he'd be like, morning, Doc.

01:33:14.000 And, you know, he'd been up for three hours before anybody else even showed up at the White House watching TV, tweeting, talking on the phone, whatever.

01:33:19.000 Yeah. Oh yeah, oh yeah.

01:33:21.000 I remember four o'clock in the morning, you know what your dad just said?

01:33:24.000 I'm like, oh God, it's too early.

01:33:27.000 By the time he dropped down that elevator, he was looking for somebody to talk to, right?

01:33:29.000 And I was the first person he'd see.

01:33:31.000 And he'd go, did you see this?

01:33:32.000 Did you see that? Never anything to do with medicine or whatever.

01:33:36.000 Just whatever's happening during the day.

01:33:37.000 Could have been Iran. Could have been Stormy Daniels.

01:33:39.000 It was whatever was on TV, right?

01:33:40.000 And I'd be like, yes, sir. And he's like, we start talking about it.

01:33:42.000 And he'd go, walk with me.

01:33:43.000 And I'd walk down the West Colonnade.

01:33:45.000 I'd walk down the Oval Colonnade.

01:33:46.000 I'd walk in the back of the Oval Office with him.

01:33:48.000 We'd finish up our conversation.

01:33:49.000 And then, you know, National Security Advisor, Chief of Staff, whoever would be in the Outer Oval waiting to come in.

01:33:53.000 I'd walk out. They'd walk in. 0.98

01:33:55.000 His day would start. But I got to know him, like, really, really well right off the bat.

01:33:58.000 And I realized, man, I love this guy.

01:33:59.000 I mean, you know, I mean, I didn't know him at all.

01:34:01.000 Like, when I was worried when you guys showed up, because I, you know, I'd actually, you know, I had a pretty good relationship with the Bushes, pretty good relationship with the Obamas.

01:34:07.000 They'd treated me and the rest of the military and stuff really well.

01:34:10.000 And then you guys were coming in, it was kind of an unknown, you know, these rumors, you know, that, you know, oh, it's going to be horrible for the military, it's going to be horrible for the Secret Service and everything.

01:34:17.000 And then I remember January 20, 2017, the inauguration night, you know, we came back from the, you know, we came back from all the balls and everything, and you guys were all in the dip room, and the first thing I noticed is your kids and Jared and Ivanka's kids running around all over those things, climbing to the furniture. I was like, oh my God, what have I got myself in?

01:34:37.000 I'm a freaking pediatrician, you know.

01:34:39.000 And so, but it was great, man. 0.95

01:34:40.000 But I was so, you know, just pleasantly surprised.

01:34:44.000 Your family is so nice, man.

01:34:46.000 You're so considerate, so respectful, and just so easy to talk to and get to know.

01:34:50.000 And so, you know, I ended up, you know, loving working for, you know, taking care of you guys, you know, your brothers and sisters, your kids, everybody else.

01:34:57.000 And I loved President and Mrs.

01:34:59.000 Trump. I mean, I just, I really developed a lot of A lot of respect for him.

01:35:04.000 And I think he developed a lot of trust and confidence in me early on.

01:35:06.000 That's how our relationship started.

01:35:08.000 And that's why I was supposed to be there six months and I stayed to the bitter end until three years until it was time for me to get in the fight and go to Congress.

01:35:14.000 And now you're in Congress, man.

01:35:16.000 And I think you're crushing it.

01:35:17.000 I look forward to the future aspirations of Ronnie Jackson.

01:35:22.000 There's a lot of guys in Congress, but you're one of the few guys that may talk faster than me.

01:35:26.000 Yeah, exactly. I may be a low-energy individual compared to you, man.

01:35:31.000 So I really appreciate it.

01:35:32.000 And as these things develop, I want to definitely have you back.

01:35:35.000 I think our people are going to want to see the action plan, what's really happening behind the scenes.

01:35:40.000 And I think it's just awesome that you're so open and honest about it.

01:35:42.000 Absolutely. And I'll tell you one last thing, too.

01:35:44.000 People ask me all the time, like, who was your favorite president?

01:35:46.000 I'm like, was Trump, hands down.

01:35:47.000 People are like, well, why? And I thought about it one day.

01:35:49.000 I was like, I don't know. I mean, a whole bunch of reasons, but why?

01:35:51.000 And I realized, you know what? Part of it is, like, he's fun to work for, right?

01:35:54.000 Because I'm an emergency medicine doctor, right?

01:35:56.000 And so I'm in the emergency department.

01:35:58.000 There's always an emergency. And like 90% of the stuff that comes through the door is a kid with a runny nose, this, that, and the other.

01:36:02.000 But every shift, at one point or another, unexpectedly, there's someone who bursts through the door with the butcher knife sticking out of their chest, right?

01:36:07.000 That's what working for Trump's like every day.

01:36:09.000 Yeah. You're like, oh my god, what happened?

01:36:11.000 We did what we did. Holy shit, yeah. 1.00

01:36:14.000 Yeah, Code Red. 0.99

01:36:18.000 We're going hot. Let's go figure this thing out.

01:36:20.000 Well, I appreciate it, Randy.

01:36:21.000 Thank you so much. Great to see you, and we'll definitely have you back on.

01:36:24.000 Thank you for what you're doing. Thank you, man.

01:36:26.000 And thank you guys for tuning in.

01:36:28.000 We appreciate all of you.

01:36:31.000 Guys, I also want to thank our sponsors.

01:36:33.000 And before I go fully there, we've got my little man, Spencer, here.

01:36:38.000 He's my youngest boy. How are you doing, Spencer?

01:36:39.000 I'm good. So Spencer was watching, and he was curious what was going on, and he wanted to come on.

01:36:46.000 And so I said, I will do a segment with Spencer, right?

01:36:49.000 Because it takes some guts to actually want to, just like it takes guts to sponsor the show, it takes some guts to want to do that.

01:36:54.000 And we've got to nurture the little people.

01:36:56.000 When they want to try something and get out of their comfort zone, Spencer's usually my shy one.

01:37:00.000 But he's also...

01:37:01.000 My outdoor buddy, right?

01:37:03.000 What did we do last week?

01:37:05.000 We went to the Bahamas.

01:37:07.000 And what did we do? We went spearfishing and fishing.

01:37:10.000 And how much fish did we have?

01:37:12.000 Did we get a bunch? Yeah.

01:37:14.000 How many fish did you catch?

01:37:16.000 Like four. And did we have them for dinner?

01:37:19.000 Yeah. Did we do like a father-son dinner where we cooked?

01:37:22.000 How did we cook them? We fried them.

01:37:25.000 We fried them. So Spencer, like I said, my youngest of my three boys, fourth child of five, and he was just curious about what was going on here.

01:37:35.000 And he is my buddy, and he's had spring break, and with as many kids as I have, and I know how that happens now, so I got a new hobby like spearfishing and fishing and other stuff.

01:37:45.000 So we don't end up with any more of them, right?

01:38:28.000 I use it to make up for the lack of good food in my diet and legitimately feel a lot better when I'm taking it because I know I'm getting the nutrition that I'm probably not getting at airport fast food.

01:40:24.000 But I just wanted to bring my man on because he is my buddy.

01:40:28.000 Who did better in shooting today?

01:40:30.000 Me. What? Are you...

01:40:32.000 What? I beat you. 0.88

01:40:34.000 Did... Not really.

01:40:36.000 It's like by like point...

01:40:38.000 0.3 seconds? 0.013 seconds?

01:40:41.000 No, 0.23.

01:40:42.000 I was counting. I know you were counting.

01:40:44.000 I think you were a little late on the stopwatch then, don't you think?

01:40:47.000 Oh yeah, I was. So you're admitting that you were cheating.

01:40:50.000 What? You don't admit it?

01:40:54.000 But he's my outdoor buddy, and we've had a lot of fun this week.

01:40:59.000 We went out shark fishing the other night, right?

01:41:01.000 Late. And you've had a lot of late nights for the last couple of nights, huh?

01:41:05.000 But we've had an awesome week trying to balance all the spring breaks, and I'm taking his sister who hasn't started his spring break yet away next week, and it's a little bit of a nightmare work-wise, but we've got to take in the time.

01:41:16.000 And it was really cool to see a little man like this, I'd say sometimes you're actually pretty shy with a lot of people.

01:41:22.000 There's thousands and thousands of people watching this.

01:41:25.000 And you were like, can I come on for a little bit?

01:41:27.000 I was like, yes. Those are the kind of instances that guys and parents, we've got to pounce on.

01:41:32.000 We've got to give them the opportunity to...

01:41:37.000 Succeed and do the things that take them out of their comfort zone.

01:41:40.000 That's how you grow and you learn a lot more by failure than you ever do from the wins, in my opinion.

01:41:46.000 And this was actually a pretty solid win, buddy.

01:41:48.000 You did really good. I'm proud of you.

01:41:51.000 Did you have fun? Mm-hmm. Do you want to do an entire episode with me one time?

01:41:55.000 Yeah. What do you want to talk about?

01:41:57.000 I don't know. You don't know?

01:41:59.000 You gonna talk about beating me and shooting again? 0.71

01:42:01.000 Yep. How about when I win? 0.83

01:42:04.000 Are we going to talk about that or not? It's not possible.

01:42:08.000 It's not possible. Well, he certainly has the Trump genes.

01:42:11.000 I love you. You're a good man.

01:42:13.000 You did good. I'm proud of you.

01:42:15.000 Guys, thanks again for tuning in.

01:42:18.000 Check out our sponsors.

01:42:19.000 Go check me out over on Locals.

01:42:21.000 I'll be heading over there shortly.

01:42:22.000 I'm going to do a live Ask Me Anything.

01:42:24.000 A little bit of a crazy week in so many ways.

01:42:28.000 But I'm glad you guys are here and it's been a success because of you.

01:42:32.000 So anything you guys can do to push this out there, make sure people see it, make sure people have a chance to actually get some real news and not the stuff that's been sort of whitewashed for you by mainstream media and social media and all the other lunatics out there is absolutely awesome.

01:42:50.000 You guys are the best. I love you almost as much as I love this little creature or this little man.

01:42:57.000 It's so good. I can't believe it.

01:42:59.000 But tonight you've got to go to bed early, okay?

01:43:01.000 Come on. I've been letting you get away with murder.

01:43:06.000 And frankly, I think you've been wearing me down.

01:43:08.000 What do you think? No.

01:43:11.000 We're going to have some fun. I'm going to make him dinner after locals.
