00:00:34.440And the change is coming, as Trump would say, bigly.
00:00:38.560We are seeing major nominations for cabinet members, for senior officials in the White House.
00:00:44.840We're going to go through all of those, give you a sense of where the new administration is coming out,
00:00:50.080give you a sense of what to expect in the next two months.
00:00:52.520And then in January, when the new Congress is sworn in, and then when the new president is sworn in.
00:00:57.060We're also going to tell you a particularly, I just think, funny story about how utterly corrupt today's Democrat Party is.
00:01:05.680About how they paid millions and millions of dollars for their celebrity, quote, endorsers.
00:01:10.900That Kamala was basically in the business of purchasing fake endorsements.
00:01:15.260And I got to say, the fake endorsements, they didn't work, but they sure did spend a lot of money giving Hollywood celebrities cash to pretend they had political views and to hope that that would move voters' votes.
00:01:30.760Yeah, it was a lot, a lot of cash, and donors aren't happy about it.
00:01:35.040We're going to break that down as well.
00:01:36.700I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile.
00:01:38.540If you have a cell phone, and 99% of you listening right now do, how would you like to know that every time you make a call, every time you send a text,
00:01:46.080you're actually making a difference and standing up for your conservative Christian values?
00:01:50.460Well, you may not realize with the big mobile provider that you're paying right now, they're actually doing the opposite of that with your money.
00:01:57.000Big Mobile has been giving massive donations to democratic causes, candidates, and organizations for years.
00:02:06.480Extreme organizations, organizations that are paying for abortions right now.
00:02:11.100And that is exactly why over a decade ago, Patriot Mobile was started.
00:02:14.900There was a group of conservatives that said it's ridiculous that our money is going to fight against what we believe in and our values.
00:02:20.540And they said, we're going to start our own company.
00:02:22.440And not only do they do it, but they have grown it to something that's truly incredible.
00:02:27.020Now, in 2024, you don't have to worry about logistics like you used to 10 years ago.
00:02:31.540You don't have to worry about coverage issues because in 2024, everybody is using the same networks and the same towers.
00:02:38.040So you get the same coverage you used to without the woke extreme agenda of the left.
00:02:43.060And then this is the part I love the most about Patriot Mobile and why I want you to switch and join me as a customer.
00:02:49.020Because when you make a phone call and when you pay your bill, you're making a difference because they take about 5% of your bill every month.
00:02:56.320And they give it back to conservative causes that stand up for our First and Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn babies.
00:03:03.680And they stand with our military, our veterans, our first responders, and our wounded warrior heroes.
00:03:09.080So I know when I pay my bill, not only am I paying for a bill I'm going to have every month, I'm making a difference.
00:03:14.760Make the switch and I'm going to give you one month free service right now.
00:03:18.320Go to PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.
00:04:23.160He has been an outspoken advocate for Israel.
00:04:25.960And I think it will be an appointment that he will enjoy profoundly.
00:04:30.240It will be markedly different from how things have been under the last four years.
00:04:34.420And I think it shows just how important changing the page on the Biden-Harris abandonment of Israel will be.
00:04:42.900Because Mike Huckabee will stand unshakably with the state of Israel.
00:04:47.240And that's going to be also President Trump's view, is to stand unshakably with Israel.
00:04:52.880It's why under the Trump administration in the first term we saw peace flower in the Middle East.
00:04:58.460It's why we saw war break out in the Middle East, because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris undermined Israel and sent billions of dollars to our enemies.
00:05:47.500And, in fact, if you go way back, she was deputy director during Reagan's 1980 campaign.
00:05:54.820So she's a longtime political operative.
00:05:57.220I'll tell you, I know Susie a little bit.
00:05:58.980I don't know her very well, but her reputation is someone who's very effective, who doesn't like the limelight, is not out seeking to be in front, is not looking for a bunch of glowing media profiles.
00:06:12.200We saw that on election night when Donald Trump tried to get her to talk, and she wouldn't do it.
00:07:45.920He knows the substance of immigration law exceedingly well.
00:07:50.500And I'm confident there's not going to be literally a single person in the administration more committed to securing the border than Stephen Miller.
00:08:17.560Well, let's talk about, when you expand out from there to some of the other positions,
00:08:22.140Donald Trump is putting together, I think, a team of people that he trusts, that he feels like is ready to go to work.
00:08:31.320Another example of that is the deep state.
00:08:33.680We know what the deep state has done to conservatives.
00:08:36.720We know what the deep state has done to Donald Trump and the people around him.
00:08:39.660And someone that we both know well, a Texan, has been named CIA director in John Ratcliffe, former congressman from Texas in the Dallas area.
00:08:54.200This is a big appointment, obviously, an important one, but also someone that saw from within in his last administration just how corrupt the deep state could be.
00:09:36.320He'd been a U.S. attorney before the Department of Justice.
00:09:39.280He he has demonstrated a courage to take on embedded bureaucrats who are fighting against the president, fighting against the agenda of the president.
00:09:49.840And I think really fighting against the national interest.
00:09:52.880And sadly, after years of Obama and now Biden, you have hardcore leftists who have burrowed into two senior positions.
00:10:01.420And they don't view their roles in those positions as as carrying out the policy priorities of the elected president.
00:10:09.260They don't view the the role of those positions as as following the instructions that they're given.
00:10:16.800And rather, they view their role as fighting against presidents they hate and policies they hate.
00:10:22.860And I think John is a serious guy who is going to be well positioned to to try to turn that around.
00:10:31.880Look, turning CIA around is not easy, but I think John is a very, very good choice.
00:10:36.840As I said, he was one of the people that I've already leaned in.
00:10:40.580And I urged the transition team to make exactly this appointment.
00:10:43.960So I think it's an excellent one. Let's talk about D.O.D.
00:10:47.900Traditionally, it's been someone that's been a little bit older at the Department of Defense.
00:10:53.660It's so funny how quick these things happen and how things can change.
00:10:58.200You and I were at the that the Republican convention and the night of the of Trump's acceptance speech, that final night afterwards,
00:11:07.700I went on to host Fox Nation with the guy who's now been appointed, Pete Hedgeth, as a secretary of defense.
00:11:18.740They were just talking about how much they love this guy, how much how well they know him,
00:11:23.580how he's an individual that has not only served his country in Iraq and Afghanistan,
00:11:27.760but he's also Ivy League educated, very smart guy, family man, actually lives in Tennessee and would go up to New York on the weekends to host Fox and Friends weekend.
00:11:39.020And and all of a sudden, I think he shocked the world.
00:11:41.880Trump did when he said, hey, I'm appointing Pete as secretary of defense, saying no one loves America more than Pete does.
00:11:48.900And he understands war. He understands how powerful it can be, how hard it can be, how disruptive it can be and how it can hurt people's families and American soldiers as well.
00:11:59.420And and this is a guy that says, I don't want to start wars, I want to end wars, referring to Trump.
00:12:03.900Pete's been to war in both of these countries in our lifetime and seen a lot.
00:12:08.600Well, that's right. And Pete's someone who's a friend to both of us.
00:12:12.280I like Pete personally. I consider him a friend. I think he does a great job.
00:12:16.400You know, Pete's background. He was an infantry captain in the Army National Guard and he did tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:12:25.480And he ended up earning two bronze stars.
00:12:29.620He is currently one of the co-hosts for Fox and Friends weekend.
00:12:34.180And and he has been since his military service, he has been in the media world more than anything else,
00:12:39.700including writing an important book on taking on the woke DOD culture.
00:12:47.260Look, this is a nomination that is going to get some pushback.
00:12:51.580The Democrats are going to fight against this one.
00:12:53.920I'm predicting a real battle because typically defense secretaries are people who've spent 30, 40, 50 years
00:13:04.300either in the military running major military operations or running major logistical corporations, running big institutions.
00:13:14.100And Pete does not have that background.
00:13:16.740So I expect Democrats to attack him for that.
00:13:19.380That being said, I assume that Trump has nominated Pete because he is in particular focused on
00:13:26.620taking on the generals who were involved in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal that was utterly disastrous.
00:13:34.640He has also been really courageous and outspoken, fighting to eliminate the woke initiatives that have taken over the military.
00:13:44.700And so I think Pete at DOD will do something very similar to what Ratcliffe is going to do at CIA,
00:13:52.380which is he's going to come in with with a real mission of clearing out the hardcore partisans who burrowed into senior career positions.
00:14:03.080But but I would also anticipate at his confirmation hearings, I think we'll see some fireworks.
00:14:08.340I think we'll see some Democrats going after Pete.
00:14:11.160And so so that'll that'll be a fight I expect in the Senate.
00:14:13.620Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders and the world around them.
00:14:20.620And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:14:24.440I'm Jennifer Stewart and I'm Catherine Clark.
00:14:26.740And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:14:36.240So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:14:39.240Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeart Radio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:14:43.620Let's talk about the arming this audience.
00:14:48.340This is one of the reasons why I love this show is because we get to get people some of the talking points that they may not hear anywhere else.
00:14:56.860And you look at Pete in his nomination.
00:14:59.380You said there's going to be fireworks.
00:15:00.620We've already seen a lot of this happen on social media over the last, I don't know, six, seven hours since this broke.
00:15:21.600So you're saying, I just want to understand as an Ole Miss grad, you're saying it is a good thing to have a degree from Princeton and Harvard.
00:15:29.680But I just want to specify exactly the meets and bounds of what you're saying.
00:15:39.700What I'm saying is it's not necessarily a bad thing to go to an Ivy League school, but obviously common sense and going to a Southern school.
00:15:47.620And the charm with that is phenomenal as well.
00:15:49.720Ben, I didn't get a chance to compliment you on the record for the ass-kicking that Ole Miss unleashed on Georgia.
00:16:29.940We do it in pads, but it's chess nonetheless.
00:16:32.900You know they say the biggest day at a football stadium at a Ivy League school is graduation day when you guys are actually getting graduated.
00:16:39.560Like, that's the most attended day there is.
00:16:41.100All right, so I will tell you, when I was in college, George Schultz was the Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan, and he's a Princeton grad.
00:16:53.020And the rumor, which everyone acknowledges, is that George Schultz had on his rear end a tattoo of a Princeton Tiger.
00:17:01.920And so Schultz would come to Princeton football games, and if you went to the stadium, you would see the band would line up in the shape of Schultz's ass.
00:17:16.240And the mascot would go and lay down on one cheek.
00:17:20.780And I remember thinking as a 19-year-old, all right, you have really made it in life when your rear end is on the 50-yard line of your alma mater.
00:17:36.320He graduated Princeton and then graduated degree from Harvard.
00:17:40.060Harvard, the guy's an Army combat veteran who did tours, and again, this is where I arm this audience with the facts, Guantanamo Bay, check that mark, that box, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
00:17:53.420And as you mentioned earlier, for his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with not one but two bronze stars, as well as a combat infantryman's badge to boot.
00:18:03.600Now, I tonight had an interesting text message from a warrior, a SEAL Team 6 member, who said it's about blanking time that America has someone that went to war, understands modern warfare, understands PTSD, and advocates for those that are mentally wounded in our armed forces like Pete has done for years.
00:18:29.460I don't care what anybody says, I'll re-enlist, and I will go back, and I would stand under this man.
00:18:37.220I think there's a lot of military veterans that have that mentality as well.
00:18:44.120Pete does not have the traditional criterion that many prior DOD secretaries have of 20, 30, 40 years experience running massive, multi-thousand,
00:19:00.780And being DOD secretary is incredibly complicated because talk about, like, turning a battleship doesn't even begin.
00:19:08.920That analogy is not even close to how complicated it is.
00:19:12.100That being said, what Pete brings, in addition to being a combat veteran himself, is he brings experience calling out the ideological rot that Barack Obama and Joe Biden put into our military.
00:19:29.180And so I think, Pete, there's a reason I drew the analogy between Pete and John Radcliffe, which is I think both of them, the latter has shown, and I think the former will show, a willingness to take on the corruption that is damaging the institution they've been sent to.
00:19:48.900That courage, that clarity, that is rare, and it's one of the reasons why I think the left is going to attack him and attack him really hard.
00:19:56.440Let me ask one other question about this.
00:19:59.200Does this mean that there's a real chance, and we haven't talked about this in a few months, so I think it's the perfect time to go back and really talk about this,
00:20:08.000is the reinstatement of men and women in our military that were kicked out because they refused to get vaccinated.
00:20:16.140With the Republicans sitting over the House, and that's official, we haven't actually gotten to mention that on the show,
00:20:21.380so let's just have that little moment of victory, that Republicans retain the House, we have the Senate, we have the presidency.
00:20:29.460Is there a chance that those men and women that were kicked out of our military could actually come back in?
00:20:34.580Is that an issue you think will come up in January?
00:22:32.000I think with the Republican House and Senate,
00:22:34.200I'm going to fight very hard to get that in the next iteration of the NDAA.
00:22:38.900The NDAA is the National Defense Authorization Act.
00:22:41.360I also am going to press the Department of Defense, if they can, just to do it unilaterally.
00:22:48.620I'm pretty sure they can, although I say this, I have not studied the legal questions.
00:22:53.240So that is an instinct rather than the result of a studied analysis.
00:22:58.800But when Pete is confirmed as Defense Secretary, I'm going to urge Pete that he at the outset says,
00:23:06.520if you've been discharged for failure to get this vaccine, you are invited to be readmitted and returned to your old rank and your old position.
00:23:14.900I want to talk to you real quick about keeping your family safe.
00:23:18.580And if you carry a firearm, you know that that's your motive to protect yourself and your family.
00:23:23.620But what happens if you have to actually use that firearm to protect yourself?
00:23:27.900What happens if you're up against an activist DA that cannot stand people just like you that exercise their Second Amendment right?
00:23:35.400Well, you're at risk of losing everything.
00:23:38.020And that is why over 800,000 Americans are members of the USCCA.
00:23:44.440Now, I've had to use my firearm to save my life.
00:23:48.240And I can tell you, I wish I would have known more about what my rights were in the moments after that incident took place.
00:23:57.000Well, you don't have to worry if you're a member of the USCCA, because not only will you get access to their Protector Academy, which teaches you vital skills like precision shooting and how to fortify your home against criminals.
00:24:09.640But you also get access to the 24-7 critical response team and the included benefit of self-defense liability insurance to make sure that you and your family are prepared for anything.
00:24:25.540And for a limited time, if you text the word America right now, text the word America to 87222, you're going to get the USCCA's free life-saving concealed carry and family defense guide, plus a chance to win $1,700 to buy any self-defense gear you need before it's too late.
00:25:37.160And how big of a deal it is that Donald Trump picked the Tesla CEO and ex-owner Elon Musk and an entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead this Department of, quote, government efficiency?
00:25:51.200Well, it is not currently a government agency.
00:25:54.520I don't think it's an accident that Department of Governmental Efficiency spells out DOGE since Elon is a very vocal supporter of the DOGE coin cryptocurrency.
00:26:09.180Listen, I'm very glad that Elon is going to play a critical role in the administration, focusing on making government work more effectively and more efficiently.
00:26:23.780I'll tell you, I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Elon this week talking about precisely this mission, how you make government operate more effectively.
00:26:33.740And Elon is dealing right now with there is a major difference between government agencies and the private sector.
00:26:44.900And, you know, one of the things I pointed out, there's a fantastic economist, a man named Ludwig von Mises, who was one of the founding fathers of the Austrian School of Economics, brilliant man, wrote a lot of different things.
00:26:59.420But he wrote a book called On Bureaucracy and von Mises and On Bureaucracy.
00:27:04.680What he argued is that inevitably you have people who come from the private sector who come into government and they say, we're going to make government more efficient.
00:27:13.400We're going to make it operate like a business.
00:27:15.600And von Mises argued that is always, always, always doomed to failure.
00:27:19.980And he explained why he said, listen, government lacks the essential element of any private enterprise, and that is the profit motive.
00:27:31.560And the analogy he uses, he says, okay, look, Ben, let's say you have a private company.
00:27:37.560You have, say, a barbecue restaurant in Memphis.
00:27:41.860If you're running your barbecue restaurant in Memphis, every single employee at the restaurant is motivated by the profit incentive.
00:27:52.460If the janitor, the guy who is sweeping up the spilled barbecue sauce in the restaurant, if he comes to you and says, Mr. Ferguson, I've got an idea that can reduce our costs by 10% and that can increase revenues by 5%.
00:28:10.420So my guess is, A, Ben, you'd listen to him.
00:28:13.640You'd be like, okay, I want to hear that idea.
00:28:16.240My guess is, number two, if his idea was right, that guy ain't going to be sweeping floors any longer.
00:28:24.980He is immediately going to get a promotion because for him and everyone else at the restaurant, the incentive is the profit motive.
00:28:34.280That unifies the incentives of everyone in the private sector.
00:28:37.920In contrast, and this is what von Mises argues in On Bureaucracy, in government there is no profit motive.
00:28:44.140And, in fact, the incentives are precisely the obverse.
00:28:48.640Let's say you're running a particular office in a government agency and you've got a million people who are receiving $10 billion in benefits.
00:29:03.140Your incentives are not to reduce the number of people receiving those benefits.
00:29:09.360Your incentives are not to reduce the amount of benefits they're receiving.
00:29:14.040Instead, what are your incentives in government?
00:29:16.320Your incentives in government are to increase the 1 million people to a million five or 2 million.
00:29:24.160Your incentives are to increase the $10 billion in benefits to $15 billion or $20 billion.
00:29:30.320Your incentives are to take your, say, 1,000 people that work for you and increase it to 2,000 or 3,000.
00:29:38.640All of your incentives, not only are they not aligned on the profit motive, they are exactly the opposite of the profit motive.
00:29:45.020So, actually, I recommended to Elon he read the book.
00:30:14.300And I pointed out to Elon, look, when you went into Twitter, you fired, what, 60% of the employees?
00:30:20.900That is a flexibility that you have and what it means.
00:30:24.580And I tried to lay this out to him as well.
00:30:27.720So, I said, listen, at Tesla, SpaceX, my guess is you have very, very few employees who wake up every day with their mission in life being to stop you,
00:30:38.080to frustrate the objectives of the company and to try to make them fail.
00:30:43.400And if you did have any employees that were doing that, you'd fire them because they work for you and that'd be it.
00:30:48.860In government, particularly with the deep state, there are literally thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of deep state employees
00:30:57.080who wake up every day with their objective, their mission being to stop everything Donald Trump is trying to accomplish.
00:31:06.920And so, I'm really glad that Elon is doing this, and I think Vivek is very smart.
00:31:31.240I've actually run in some circles where I've known some freakishly smart people, including people like Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Antonin Scalia.
00:31:39.760And Elon is just another level in terms of brilliance.
00:31:44.440So, I'm excited to see what he can do in this role.
00:31:48.340But it is going to be, I think his instinct is going to be to break some China.
00:31:53.060And we'll see how that plays out in the government world.
00:31:57.200Yeah, in the government world is a key point there.
00:31:58.900Let's talk about one of the most important appointments, and that is Tom Homan.
00:32:04.380And there are so many conservatives that voted for Donald Trump, so many Americans that voted for Donald Trump because they want a secure border.
00:32:12.160He is the former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director.
00:32:16.200He has now been named Trump's border czar, tasked with cracking down on immigration and overseeing the southern border, the northern border as well.
00:32:50.560We're going to do the job without you or with you.
00:32:53.520It's very clear Democrats are already gearing up to fight against the government and deportations.
00:32:58.580He has said their number one goal is what you and I mentioned on this show.
00:33:02.640I think it was even before Election Day.
00:33:04.580They're going to go after the criminals first.
00:33:06.440They're going to go after the people that have already had due process and have been told that they are to be deported from this country.
00:33:15.360And, again, this is where I love doing the show.
00:33:18.560Let's remind listeners and arm you guys with the facts.
00:33:23.220When you hear the left say it's inhumane to deport people, do not forget Barack Obama deported more than 3 million illegal immigrants while he was president.
00:33:33.940So, this idea that we are doing a million plus that are felons, that have been convicted of crimes, that have already had due process, don't fall for this.
00:33:42.160Because remind all of the people that say otherwise, Barack Obama deported more than 3 million illegal immigrants when he was president.
00:36:43.540You join an historic roster, including John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall,
00:36:50.240James Madison, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John Calhoun, William Jennings Bryan, Charles Evans Hughes, Henry Stimson, George Marshall, Dean Acheson, John Foster Dulles, Dean Rusk, Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, and James Baker.
00:38:10.360I want to tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:38:13.820Last week, Americans voted in one of the most consequential elections in our history.
00:38:19.120And with all that's happening, we know that the support of Americans like you means so much to the people of Israel, especially now.
00:38:26.120This past year, not only have we seen the war rage on in the Holy Land,
00:38:30.560but we've also seen an alarming rise in anti-Semitism.
00:38:34.840This is why I'm a proud partner of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:38:39.600They have been building bridges between Christians and Jews for over 40 years.
00:38:45.060And since that time, they have been on the ground helping the vulnerable and providing security for Jews in both Israel and Ukraine.
00:38:52.860Thank you for your support during this critical time, because so many of you have stepped up and your gifts have helped the fellowship provide not only food and necessities,
00:39:01.520but also security for those most in need.
00:39:04.980Standing with Israel and the Jewish people has never meant so much.
00:39:08.380And if you've not gotten involved, please take a look at what you can do to help.
00:39:38.140Senator, one other story is Donald Trump is getting his cabinet together and making appointments.
00:39:43.360One of the things that has not gotten a lot of attention is the take out the trash, everybody throwing everybody under the bus in the Biden camp, the Harris camp.
00:39:57.640We find out she blew through a billion dollars.
00:40:09.700And they're, I don't know, someone said 18, 20 million upside down.
00:40:13.980And then we found out where a lot of the donations actually went.
00:40:18.620The donations were going to celebrities.
00:40:22.120Oprah's had to come out after there was a million dollar check given to her, quote, production company for production of a one day sit down interview that we many people saw on TV with Oprah.
00:40:34.180It doesn't cost a million dollars to produce that, but that was the price tag.
00:40:38.340And then we found out that there were a lot of celebrities that were being paid to act like they loved Kamala Harris.
00:40:46.120And there are some Democratic donors that are livid right now over the price tag on this.
00:40:52.140You know, there's a terrific article in The Spectator World entitled Kamala Harris ran the Fry Festival of campaigns.
00:40:59.320And it points out that Trump's campaign spent roughly 488 million dollars and Kamala spent more than a billion.
00:41:08.180So she outspent Trump more than two to one.
00:41:11.320And Kamala's campaign ended up 20 million dollars in debt.
00:41:15.860Well, it turns out, where did that money go?
00:41:19.460Well, one of the things that went to is they paid many of the quote unquote celebrities who supported her were getting paid and getting paid significant sums.
00:41:31.560So, for example, remember the Call Me Daddy podcast?
00:41:35.540Well, apparently the campaign spent upwards of six figures to build a custom set for her appearance on the podcast.
00:41:44.540And the podcast netted only 800,000 downloads, less than a million downloads.
00:41:50.560Look, Ben, you and I, we have roughly a million unique listeners.
00:41:55.180If she wanted 800,000 downloads, I'll tell you, Kamala, right now, even though you've lost, Ben and I will invite you on verdict right now.
00:49:08.180And Phil left the blind, and he went and hopped on a plane, and he flew to Iowa, and he did a big rally with me in Iowa.
00:49:13.960And I told him then, I'm like, Phil, I am beyond humbled that you missed the first day of duck season in 40 years to be here and campaign alongside me.
00:49:27.080Now, I didn't write him a damn check to do that.
00:49:48.760If you're paying Beyonce $10 million, I mean, my goodness, who would she not endorse for $10 million?
00:49:56.180No, it's a very fair question, and it's like, would any of these celebrities have showed up for her if she wasn't paying them not tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands, but literally millions of dollars?
00:50:09.420I think it's going to be a very interesting talking point in politics moving forward.
00:50:13.160It's like, is anyone that's actually endorsing these Democrats or celebrities not on the take?
00:50:17.620Is it all just a massive payday they get a chance at every four years?
00:50:21.000And it's going to be interesting to see how that is dealt with a couple years from now when Democrats are on stage again with a bunch of famous people, and they're going to have to now answer questions about it.
