An hour ago, the government 11 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,399 shut down the app that the Biden administration was using 12 00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:51,920 to grant mass asylum status ASIE status to everybody that 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,520 used the app, CPB one, it was called. They shut 14 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,359 that down at one o'clock. Also, i'm seeing the video 15 00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:04,599 here from Kfox fourteen news. The port of entry in 16 00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:10,239 downtown El Paso temporarily closed Monday morning, moments before Trump's 17 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:16,120 swearing in ceremony. Trump announced, I mean, and they've got 18 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,760 they got like they're all fully kitted up. They got 19 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,560 the riot shields and stuff, and they just like blocked 20 00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:28,680 off the whole entrance. Trump announced in his inaugural speech 21 00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:32,439 he's declaring a national emergency at the border, reinstating the 22 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:40,280 Remain in Mexico policy an ending catch and release. Matthew 23 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:47,480 Continetti over at the Washington Free Beacon, he wrote a 24 00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:51,359 couple of days ago under a piece called Apex Trump, 25 00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:54,159 which I think is a reference to like apex predator, 26 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,239 like top of the food chain kind of thing. Trump 27 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,519 has spent nearly a decade in presidential politics now remade 28 00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:06,280 the Republican Party in his own image. He won the 29 00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:13,159 GOP nomination three times, defeated the Bushes, the Clinton's, Kamala Harris, 30 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,520 and by extension, Joe Biden and Barack Obama. I did 31 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,159 write that I wrote down when I was watching the 32 00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:27,759 inaugural ceremony that Trump was celebrating among a decade's murderer's 33 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,840 row of foes. That's what I wrote down. That you 34 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:39,080 see him up there and he is surrounded by these 35 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,840 political opponents that he has just laid waste to for 36 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,159 over a decade, and it all began. Do you remember 37 00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:51,479 where it all began? I know he made comments on 38 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,919 like the Oprah Winfrey Show back in the nineties or something. 39 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,800 I'm not talking about that. I mean, he may have 40 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,560 thought about running for office at some point, But where 41 00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:05,439 did it all really begin? For his run in twenty sixteen, 42 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:11,159 do you remember the Washington or sorry, the White House 43 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:17,360 Correspondence Association dinner, or, as the journalists liked to call it, 44 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,520 nerd prom That's what they call it, nerd prom It's like, 45 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,120 first off, y'all, ain't nerds. Okay, nerds are smart, so 46 00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:36,120 you don't qualify. Barack Obama got up in front of 47 00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:40,199 the press corps and Donald Trump private citizen, right, although 48 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,840 he had been, you know, doing some public stuff about 49 00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:47,000 you know, Obama's birth certificate and all of that, which 50 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,199 you'll recall, the whole Barack Obama birth certificate thing started 51 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,319 by the Hillary Clinton camp, one of her supporters started 52 00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:02,120 that whole thing during the primary in two thousand and eight, right, 53 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,719 And the Obama administration and his campaign and he himself 54 00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:15,400 could have killed that story immediately when it first started 55 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:17,800 gaining traction. They could have killed the story immediately, but 56 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,000 they did not because they knew that when people would 57 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,079 promote it and keep promoting it, you would essentially decredentialize people. 58 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,480 People who repeated the birther stuff. And look, I remember 59 00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:38,439 being at this very table sitting in this very spot 60 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,120 speaking into this microphone in the two thousand and eight 61 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:48,199 election cycle, and we were talking about the facts and 62 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,199 the evidence about the birther issue, and had Obama come 63 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,519 out as he did later and just produce the birth certificate, 64 00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:01,639 it would have been over wanted it. This was part 65 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,160 of a strategy that they employed, which we covered here 66 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,680 also at the time, the stray voltage strategy, which is 67 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,519 real quick at any given moment. This is what his 68 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,720 own campaign people said after the fact. They're strategists. They said, 69 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:17,319 this is what they would do. And this persisted through 70 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,040 the through his administration, which is, at any given moment, 71 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,240 there's a bunch of political energy that's just in the atmosphere, 72 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,800 and much like static electricity will hop you know, when 73 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,519 you go touch a doorknob or something and it surprises you, right, 74 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,160 that then prompts problems because you can now make a 75 00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:38,319 mistake in the way you respond to it or something. 76 00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,120 So if you can direct the stray voltage someplace, right, 77 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,839 then you get people talking about that, but you know 78 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,519 it's coming, so you already have something for it. So 79 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,600 you allow this story to fester and then you can 80 00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,920 dismiss everybody as conspiracy theorists and all this, and you 81 00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:00,720 never directly address any of the issue, any of the claims, 82 00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:05,399 any of the evidence, and then eventually, when you do, 83 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:09,319 you then delegitimize everybody that said anything about it. Anyway, 84 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:15,920 Donald Trump was into the birther not movement, but the issue, 85 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,160 right he remember, he was good. I think he did. 86 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,120 He may have actually I don't remember if he did 87 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160 or not, but he at least said maybe even did 88 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:26,360 hire investigators to go look into it and all of that. 89 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,800 And so Obama gets up in front of the White 90 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,720 House Correspondence Association dinner and it's a rose and people 91 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,360 make fun of each other and tell jokes and you're 92 00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:40,399 supposed to be funny and all of that, and Obama 93 00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:44,360 just starts savaging Donald Trump. And if you ever go back, 94 00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:46,560 it's you really should go back and watch it, because 95 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,560 you can see the point at which Donald Trump realizes 96 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,920 that these people are laughing at him, they're mocking him. 97 00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,040 Like at first it's like, Okay, you know, it's a 98 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,040 joke or whatever. And despite what people may think, I 99 00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:04,399 believe Donald Trump does actually have a pretty good sense 100 00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:10,360 of humor. He just is He has a very dry delivery, 101 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,680 and and the way he comports himself. He's not slapstick, 102 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,319 you know, so anyway he is. He is a funny guy. 103 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,600 He has a sense of humor. But Obama just starts 104 00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:26,959 going after him. And when the whole room is laughing 105 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,319 and laughing and laughing and mocking and ridiculing, and it's 106 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,079 like you could see the moment when Trump is like, okay, 107 00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:39,360 And that's what prompted him to run. And ever since then, 108 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,040 right now, granted, the first the first round was it 109 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,759 was a little a little rough, all right. He didn't 110 00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:49,759 really know politics very well. But now he does. Now 111 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,680 he does, and as he has done in business, as 112 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,360 he has done in marketing and his branding campaigns and 113 00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:03,360 his products and all that stuff, with some obvious exceptions 114 00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:08,920 like the failed casino, but in many other cases he 115 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:13,720 is very very astute, very astute at this kind of stuff. 116 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,040 And as Contineti writes, he clawed his way out of 117 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,879 the political wilderness after twenty twenty by capitalizing on flawed opposition, 118 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,279 the personal and policy failures of Biden and Harris, and 119 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,079 prosecutorial law fare. By the way, have you seen his 120 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,919 official presidential portrait, not the painting the photo. Have you 121 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,200 seen that thing? It is the image of his mugshot. 122 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,639 He's like taking it back. I think, Megan Kelly said, 123 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,320 I think it is what you call it. He's reclaiming 124 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:54,200 that photo for himself, that image and the lighting on it. 125 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,000 It's like, it's uplt to give this like this menacing 126 00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,559 like you would like this menacing look like you would 127 00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:04,559 if you're sitting around the campfire telling ghost stories with 128 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,600 the flashlight under your face, you know, make you look scarier. 129 00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:13,120 In twenty twenty four, he wins the popular vote, brought 130 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:17,120 Republicans an electoral trifecta, and assumed the powers of the presidency. 131 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,399 In all but name. Trump forms his administration at warp speed. 132 00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:26,200 Wall Street swoons, the world holds its breath. His tariff 133 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:30,879 talk inspired Mexican President Claudia Shinebaum to float a plan 134 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,440 to reduce Chinese imports. His desire for US territorial expansion 135 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,759 as a means of gaining leverage over China has excited 136 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,639 this columnist and rattled Canada, Panama, and Denmark. His threat 137 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,279 to unleash hell in the Middle East if Hamas doesn't 138 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,440 release hostages prior to inauguration Day produced the first ceasefire 139 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,080 deal in Gaza in over a year. Oh and by 140 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,320 the way, the the leaders of EMA say that they 141 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,120 intend to do more October seventh, now take more hostages. 142 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:10,200 Not only have Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff 143 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,279 Bezos made peace with the President elect, much of corporate 144 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,159 America has interpreted Trump's reelection as the beginning of an 145 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,080 American glass gnhost from the old Soviet Union openness, you know, 146 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:26,919 tech censorship, dei climate hysteria. The ahistorical mentality behind the 147 00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,200 New York Times is sixteen nineteen project. They are all weakened, 148 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:36,159 legacy media is hobbled, the Democrats are dazed. In fact, 149 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,200 the former now former White House Press Secretary Caringe Jean 150 00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:44,639 Pierre was asked last week who's going to lead the 151 00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:48,120 Democrat Party after Biden? And she didn't have an answer. 152 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,799 She had no clue. And like to be fair, I 153 00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:56,679 mean it is it is Kareem Jean Pierre, and like 154 00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:59,279 that is usually the case, but this time it was. 155 00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:04,080 It was just because Democrats are kind of rudderless, he says. 156 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,919 The opposition, he says, behaves as if the world began 157 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,639 on November fifth, the election. During the campaign, Biden, Harris 158 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,840 and Obama said Trump was a fascist who would end democracy, 159 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,440 but now Biden is cordial. Their teams collaborated on Gaza. 160 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,440 Harris presided over the certification of the Electoral College. Obama 161 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,159 and Trump chatted amiably at Jimmy Carter's funeral. The Democrat 162 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,519 surrender is widespread. Senator John Fetterman visited Trump at mar 163 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,200 A Lago. Oh I bet I know what he wore. 164 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,840 Forty eight House Democrats joined the Republicans to pass a 165 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,279 bill making it easier to detain illegal immigrant felons. Thirty 166 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,240 one Senate Democrats joined with Republicans to advance a similar 167 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,039 peace of legislation. AOC even dropped her pronouns from her 168 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:58,759 Twitter bio. And as Trump's power has grown, his public 169 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,039 demeanor has changed. Here's a great idea. How about making 170 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,120 an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in 171 00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,840 western North Carolina.

Let's go over 192 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,759 and talk to GGI. Hey gg, how are you, hey, Pete? 193 00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: How are you hey? I'm good, I'm very quickly. Two things. 194 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,480 I saw a video someone had posted a video on 195 00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:27,480 Twitter of Fetterman running into the Capitol and board shorts 196 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,639 and a hoosie and and nook Fuoti, and I tweeted, 197 00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:32,759 please tell me he's going to be wearing a suit 198 00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:36,120 and lo and behold he went into the inauguration and 199 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,000 his hoodie and his board shot. 200 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: For sure, Yeah, not a surprise. 201 00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: Well, and I tweeted Senator Soon, I think it's time, 202 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,879 you know, someone needs to read him the Riot Act 203 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,200 because that's kind of beyond the pale. I don't think 204 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,960 you should be in Congress anyway, but that that's just 205 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:59,519 so insulting, it's so disrespectful. The other thing, I tried 206 00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:01,559 to call the four when you were talking about the pardons, 207 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,480 and I screwed up the timing and everything very quickly. 208 00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:08,399 Do you know if giving the pardons at the end 209 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,960 of the administration is tradition, is legally stipulated or. 210 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: No, it's tradition. They do it at the end so 211 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,399 they can't suffer any of the political ramifications for their decisions. Right. 212 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,879 Speaker 2: So, now that Biden sets the president, I think I 213 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:29,879 would love to see President Trump give everybody in the 214 00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:33,360 cabinet once they're confirmed, give everybody in the cabinet a 215 00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:37,759 preemptive parson, and then Tasks can go after everybody, and 216 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:40,480 hag Sets can go after everybody, and Pam Bondi can 217 00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:42,600 go after every I just I think that would be 218 00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:43,039 a riot. 219 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: He should take the he could take the document. He 220 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,480 could take the official document where it lists the names, 221 00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:53,919 and he should just cross out the Biden names and 222 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,159 just write in all of his cabinet members right next 223 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,840 to them. And okay, well I'm going to do this too. 224 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,039 If Joe did it, I'm going to do it too. 225 00:15:02,879 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 2: Right, And then when they start the scream as in oligarchy, yeah, 226 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:07,440 you guys showed us the way, and now we're gonna 227 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:07,639 do it. 228 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. See, here's here, here's the problem. And and I 229 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,639 get the humor for you know, uh in which the 230 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,519 comment is intended, although there's probably an element of truth there. 231 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,919 But when when we become monsters to fight monsters, the 232 00:15:23,039 --> 00:15:26,240 world just has more monsters, you know. And this is 233 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,120 this is one of my one of my beefs with 234 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,720 a lot of people that are like the most fervent 235 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,559 Trump supporters, is that there is an abandonment of principle, uh, 236 00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:40,799 in order to get revenge. And what what I keep 237 00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:43,799 warning against is that, just like with Joe Biden, that 238 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:47,600 once you set these precedents, these slippery slopes become evident 239 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,799 and people you're not going to be able to get 240 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,240 people off the path. Well, you know, people are going 241 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,919 to go and the next one's gonna be worse, and 242 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,399 the next one's going to be worse, and the next 243 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,240 one's gonna be worse. 244 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,279 Speaker 2: I understand, And you know, that's the same that's the 245 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,080 same argument that a lot of people make about Israel 246 00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:07,639 going after terrorists. And I'm trying to negotiate with them, 247 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,679 trying to come to a solution with them that would 248 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,000 improve the lives of their you know, supposedly the people 249 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,519 they care about. But we know what that is. 250 00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: They don't. 251 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,159 Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't, it doesn't work. And so truthfully, 252 00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:23,159 once all of the hostages are home and the bodies 253 00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:26,480 are returned, I would like to see Israel decimate them. 254 00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:29,159 Speaker 1: Well, And that's the same thing right now, I understand, 255 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,080 and I understand that that view as well. And in 256 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960 war like the objective is to win, is that they 257 00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:37,600 surrender and until and the way you get them to 258 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,480 do that is to you know, either kill more of 259 00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:43,600 their people than they kill of yours, right, or to 260 00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:47,600 get the leadership ousted somehow, and then you know, the 261 00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,639 people say, we don't want to keep fighting this, and 262 00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:51,840 they ask their own leaders or whatever. But that's it. 263 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,399 One side wins, one side loses. 264 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:53,879 Speaker 2: You know. 265 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,039 Speaker 1: Ceasefires don't last, especially over there, so and I understand 266 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,759 that that argument as well. I just I don't know 267 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,200 if I don't know if people have the self restraint 268 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,400 to then say, okay, good, we have you know, we 269 00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:12,160 have banished these people from power. We have won at 270 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,720 some point you know, in the future, like we have 271 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,960 one and so now we'll go back to the way 272 00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:18,759 things were. I don't think I don't think that people 273 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:20,480 will well, I don't think they had that kind of 274 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,920 self restraint. I appreciate the call, Gigi. Good to hear 275 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,440 from you. All Right, I hope you had a happy 276 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:29,200 holiday season. But tell me if something like this happened 277 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,079 at your house, your family and friends are gathered around, 278 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,200 maybe y'all are in the living room and you're laughing, 279 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,799 swapping stories, reminiscing, and then somebody says, hey, did remember 280 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,839 those old vhs tapes? Did you ever get them transferred? 281 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,920 And then the room gets all quiet. All eyes are 282 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,680 on Dad, who says, oh, you know, well, I've been 283 00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:50,599 meaning to but I just having gotten around to it. Look, 284 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,880 don't let those priceless memories sit in a box for 285 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,720 another year, all right.

Talk about a memorable gift. So 293 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,640 do what I did. Trust the experts at Creative Video, 294 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,759 conveniently located in mint Hill right off I four eighty 295 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,839 five and online at create avideo dot com. Got a 296 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,559 message from Eric on the Twitter machine at Pete Callander. 297 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,119 It's a Pete tweet. Eric says Trump should directly cite 298 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,759 the pardoning of the entire corrupt January sixth committee when 299 00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:45,759 he pardons everyone involved, right, all the j sixers um 300 00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:52,400 Trump War Room account tweeted out that Trump takes his 301 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:59,200 first official actions Cabinet and subcabinet appointments, acting designations and appointments, 302 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,519 Commission Chair and acting chair appointments, and proclamation ordering flags 303 00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:08,319 to be flown at full massed on all inauguration days 304 00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:11,720 because yeah, this year it was just because of the 305 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,640 coincidental timing of Carter's death, flags ordered it half staff 306 00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:19,559 for you know, thirty days, and then it would have 307 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,720 given this image of like, here's Donald Trump and the 308 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:25,640 flags are at half staff, and you can imagine what 309 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,720 the Left would have done with that iconography. So from 310 00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:32,839 now on, flags at full staff, and I'm fine with that. 311 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,799 So Matthew Continetti says, is Trump's power has grown, his 312 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,160 public demeanor has changed. He still uses social media to 313 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,680 slam his opponents and critics, but his style in front 314 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,920 of the cameras has shifted. From twenty seventeen sued, indicted, convicted, 315 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,680 and shot. He seems less easily rattled. Now he speaks 316 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,039 more softly. His edgy humor contains fewer insults and more sarcasm, 317 00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:03,400 which I endorse by the way, as one who is 318 00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,759 fluent in sarcasm. He seems to have a sense of purpose, 319 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,680 and he trusts his lieutenants. He often displays the Buddha 320 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,200 like half smirk, half smile he had throughout the RNC 321 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,960 the convention in July. So here's the problem, though, that 322 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,119 he's going to be faced right. He's going several actually, 323 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,160 but one is when you look back over history, second 324 00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:32,359 terms are usually not great for incumbents. Okay, they tend 325 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,839 to be consumed by either scandal or hubris or both. 326 00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:42,000 Reagan had Iran, Contra Clinton, Monica Lewinsky. Bush overreaching on 327 00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:46,240 the social security and immigration, and then he got bogged 328 00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:49,319 down in Iraq. Obama made the nuclear deal with Iran, 329 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,920 he went left on immigration, race, terrorism, same sex marriage, 330 00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:59,640 transgender rights. Trump's challenge isn't winning power, it's wielding it. 331 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:03,640 If Trump wants to succeed and enable his successor to 332 00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:06,559 carry on his legacy into the twenty thirties, he'll have 333 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,960 to avoid the fate of his predecessors. And Continetti offers 334 00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:17,400 up some suggestions. Don't overreach, use power wisely, focus on 335 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:24,640 numbers like market in disease, jobs, inflation, income, border crossings, 336 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:30,039 crime rates. Throw America an unforgettable two hundred and fiftieth 337 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,759 birthday party in twenty twenty six. That's good. Like that alone, 338 00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:39,759 I am psyched about, like, celebrate America, right, have a 339 00:21:39,839 --> 00:21:43,799 great two hundred and fiftieth birthday for the country. And 340 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,599 I just don't think it would have been the same 341 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,000 with Harris. I really don't. I think the party would 342 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,200 be a party I would not want to attend, you know. 343 00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:54,440 Help Los Angeles recover in time for the Olympics in 344 00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:59,160 twenty twenty eight. Help western North Carolina. These are the 345 00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:02,160 tests of a successful second term, and Donald Trump has 346 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,240 four years to pass them. Now. Fox News Digital got 347 00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:13,559 an exclusive look at more than two hundred executive actions 348 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,359 that Trump is fixing to take border security, energy, reducing 349 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,599 the cost of living, ending DEI programs in the government, 350 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:31,119 ending catch and release, pausing all offshore wind leases, terminating 351 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,200 the electric vehicle mandate, abolish the Green New Deal, withdrawal 352 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,160 from the Paris Climate Accord, takes several major steps to 353 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,480 assert presidential control over the federal bureaucracy. A Trump official 354 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,440 that talked to Fox News about this said, Trump's going 355 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:51,160 to sign multiple omnibus executive orders that each contain dozens 356 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,880 of major executive actions. So this is what is probably 357 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,720 going to dominate the news cycle for the next week. 358 00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:02,279 I would say as as people begin reading through the 359 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:08,079 actions and I'm sure lawsuits start getting filed. Declare national 360 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,680 border ye, declare a national border emergency. Direct the US 361 00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:15,319 military to work with the Department of Homeland Security to 362 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,960 fully secure the southern border. Establish a national priority to 363 00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:24,119 eliminate all criminal cartels operating on US soil. Trump will 364 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,599 also direct designations of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, which 365 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,920 the official said will unlock new authorities to achieve the 366 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,079 Trump Homeland Security Mission reinstitution of the Remain in Mexico policy, 367 00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:41,720 direct the military to construct a new area of border wall. 368 00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:47,759 Trump is also going to quote fully unleash Alaskan energy, 369 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,960 which this official described as essential to US national security. 370 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:59,359 Axios has an article on this and it talks about 371 00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:04,319 like a to create conditions that facilitate investment, job creation, YadA, YadA, YadA. 372 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,720 But they mentioned here the power to fuel AI requires 373 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:14,880 energy thirsty data centers, and this is what is refocusing 374 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,880 attention around this issue. You need a lot of energy 375 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:26,640 to run AI. It's super energy intensive. So one incoming 376 00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:29,920 energy advisor told Axios, we are in an AI race 377 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,200 with China as well as other nations. Trump's team aims 378 00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:38,000 to ease construction of fossil fuel infrastructure, such as pipelines. 379 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,319 They're going to overturn a bunch of Biden era policies 380 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,680 like the slow down of oil and gas leasing in 381 00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:49,880 the Gulf of America aka Golf of Mexico, EPA, greenhouse 382 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,279 gas regulations on power plants, vehicles, and oil and gas 383 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,000 infrastructure that's going to get reversed. Overturn a pause on 384 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,359 new LNG liquid national liqu with natural gas export licenses 385 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,480 to major markets. Restrictions on oil gas and mineral projects 386 00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:11,519 in Alaska will be overturned. Back to the Fox News story, 387 00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:16,359 Trump will fully reform federal bureaucracy, or at least he's 388 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,039 promising to, by re establishing presidential control over the career 389 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,079 federal workforce and make clear to federal workers that they 390 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,559 can be removed from posts for failing to comply with 391 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,359 executive directives. Right, this is the quote deep state. These 392 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,319 are the people, the bureaucrats that work through any administration, 393 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,240 and if there's an administration in there that they don't like, 394 00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:40,799 they know all the ways to slow walk stuff, to 395 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,839 throw sand in the gears to prevent the executive that 396 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,880 was elected by the people from fixing things and doing 397 00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:54,240 things by the throwing of the sand in the gears right. 398 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,519 And he wants to strengthen presidential control over senior government 399 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:06,200 officials and implement new merit based hiring reviews and force 400 00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:10,920 federal workers to go back to work in person. What 401 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:12,759 was the story we did a couple of months ago 402 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:15,680 where they did some audit or something. They found out 403 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,480 like two thirds of all the federal employees weren't even 404 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,440 on the job. They were all remote work. It's like, 405 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,119 why do we have all these buildings? 406 00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: Right? 407 00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:28,759 Speaker 1: Are you even working from home? Also, he wants to 408 00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:35,880 sign an executive order to establish biological sex definitions. All right, 409 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,720 if you're listening to this show, you know I try 410 00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:39,480 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 411 00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:41,599 I know you do too, And you've probably heard me 412 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,880 say get your news from multiple sources. Why. Well, because 413 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,559 it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've 414 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,839 been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and 415 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,039 it's a website, and it combines news from around the 416 00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:57,720 world in one place, so you can compare coverage and 417 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,640 verify information.

I started using ground News a few 420 00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:11,039 months ago and more recently chose to work with them 421 00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:13,799 as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how 422 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,359 stories get covered and by whom.

So what 430 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,039 is Trump going to do? He's got to govern now 431 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,599 clock is running. He promised a whole bunch of executive orders. 432 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,640 Right they're calling it a shock and awe campaign that 433 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,640 we have never seen before, which is a little bit 434 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,359 of marketing there. But we'll see what they do. One 435 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,079 of them is an executive order to atabablished biological sex definitions. 436 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,920 It's called the Defending Women from Gender Ideology, Extremism and 437 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,720 Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order, or 438 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:17,559 as I call it, the DWGI, e ERB TFFG, or 439 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,119 the Yeah, I don't even know what that would be. 440 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,519 The Executive Order establishes government wide the biological reality of 441 00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:30,839 two sexes and clearly defines male and female. The Free 442 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,480 Press The website is the FP dot com. They got 443 00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:39,519 the exclusive here on what the Executive Order will say. 444 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,279 It says all radical gender ideology, guidance, communication policies and 445 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,559 forms are removed. Agencies will cease pretending that men and women, 446 00:28:49,799 --> 00:28:51,759 that men can be women and women can be men 447 00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:56,000 when enforcing laws to protect against sex discrimination. Women is 448 00:28:56,119 --> 00:28:59,960 defined as an adult human female. I don't know who 449 00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:03,079 needs to hear that, but apparently a very large chunk 450 00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:05,359 of the population still does. So that is what a 451 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,839 woman is. It is an adult human female. The Executive 452 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,559 Order directs that government identification like passports and personnel records, 453 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,160 reflect the biological reality and not self assessed gender identity. 454 00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:24,839 It ends the practice of housing men in women's prisons 455 00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:31,759 and taxpayer funded transition surgeries for prisoners or not just surgeries, 456 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,799 just all transition for the male prisoners. The Executive Order 457 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:41,000 ends the forced recitation of preferred pronouns, and this includes 458 00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:45,440 protection in the workplace and in federal funded entities like schools. 459 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,160 In reading the order, it's clear that lawsuits challenging the 460 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,000 new directives will start stacking up quickly. The order, for example, 461 00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:57,599 asserts that quote all radical gender ideology, guidance, communication, policies, 462 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,960 and forms are removed end quote. This is far from 463 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:08,039 mere symbolism. US passports will revert to offering exclusively male 464 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,759 and female options. Right. This was changed by the way 465 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,640 under the norm protecting Biden administration in twenty twenty two, 466 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,319 where they let citizens choose X as their gender, which 467 00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:23,279 we all know it's not X, it's Twitter. But the 468 00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:27,599 proviso is stipulated that what people select must reflect biological 469 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,119 reality and not self assess gender identity. So expect a 470 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,799 lawsuit on that. But the policy or the administration rather 471 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,599 says it is ready for the litigation. It's a fight. 472 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:45,000 The new administration seems to relish. Both officials that the 473 00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,119 Free Press talked to said the executive order has the 474 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,599 potential to broaden the President's support because they say, look 475 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:55,480 at the polling on this, this is just going to 476 00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:59,200 make us stronger. We have come so far from HB two. 477 00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:03,119 I'll tell you what the executive order does not address 478 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,880 one of the most contentious areas of transgender activism, though 479 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:12,480 gender affirming care quote unquote from minors, meaning putting gender 480 00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:16,400 distressed young people on a fast track to transition and 481 00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:22,480 a lifetime of medication. The Biden administration supported those treatments ardently, 482 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,599 so even as other Western nations began to restrict them 483 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,039 and dozens of US states began to ban them. Asked 484 00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:33,200 about why the new executive order doesn't deal with this, 485 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,440 the senior officials said, quote, This executive Order is the 486 00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:40,720 first of many. The order ends with a sweeping statement 487 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,680 about the fundamental issue the White House believes is at 488 00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:46,200 stake in this order, it says, quote, men and women 489 00:31:46,359 --> 00:31:51,960 are equal but have obvious sexual differences. If federal policies 490 00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:56,319 promote such an obvious falsehood that men can become women, 491 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,960 the government will forfeit all credibility. The government must maintain 492 00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:05,880 a commitment to recognizing biological reality to maintain the trust 493 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,440 of the American people. There was an old line. I 494 00:32:09,559 --> 00:32:11,440 forget who said it. I think it was Sultsan Eatsen. 495 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,200 Out of talking about the Soviet Union, he said, you know, 496 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,960 we know they're lying talking about the government. We know 497 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,559 they're lying. They know they're lying, they know that we 498 00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:27,440 know they're lying, and they know we know that they 499 00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:31,319 know they are lying. Everybody is aware of this. They 500 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,400 just want to make you say it. That's the point. 501 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,759 Everybody knows it's a lie, and everybody is going along 502 00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:41,759 with the lie, knowing that the people everybody's lying. That 503 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:47,160 does not a high trust society make what else? And 504 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,839 all DEI programs across the federal government, establishing the new DOGE, 505 00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:59,319 the Department of Government Efficiency, hiring freeze, gain control over 506 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,799 foreign AI and NGO funding. That's non government organizations. That's 507 00:33:03,839 --> 00:33:08,400 a huge problem, these NGOs that make millions, in some 508 00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:11,640 cases billions of dollars. James O'Keefe just got another one 509 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,039 of his sting operations with somebody out of the government. 510 00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:17,200 I forget. I think maybe the EPA who was talking 511 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,680 about the billions of dollars that they have been just 512 00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:22,519 like pushing out the door in the final hours of 513 00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:26,400 the administration of the under Biden and he talks about 514 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,440 how you know, we've we've pushed out like fifty billion 515 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,599 dollars to these NGOs. Sod it be good to be 516 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,640 able to go there after I'm out of a job 517 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,880 here like that's the game, sign a presidential memorandum directing 518 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,119 all agencies and departments to remove all federal actions that 519 00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:44,400 increase costs for families and consumers. I'm not sure what 520 00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:46,440 kind of limiting principle there is on that, but I 521 00:33:46,519 --> 00:33:50,440 will say I am hopeful today as Trump said that 522 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,000 the golden age of America begins right now. All right, 523 00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:56,400 that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much 524 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,440 for listening.
