Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Good morning, Happy Thursday. Coming up on the

Tate is a complete and total scumbag.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And defund NPR. Defund it. Let's yeah, and then we'll
talk about later on. At some point we have to
defund planned parenthood. That's a whole other day. There's so
much to defund. But first, let's defund NPR. All that
and so much more coming up on.
Speaker 2: The show today. I am both hired. How you acting
like you beat for the people of the fate of
Indiana or the city of Indianapolis.
Speaker 3: You do not think for me or anyone I know.
Speaker 2: That was the YouTube jerk. It's gonna be a long show.
From what It's going to be a long show.
Speaker 1: So everybody's settling, get your coffee, get ready, buckle up, buttercups.
You can find all the Chicks things at www dot
Chicks on the right dot com slash links.
Speaker 2: Also, please subscribe to this podcast. Just click subscribe, click.
Speaker 1: It it, do it, and I don't do it. That's it.
That's all I've got.
Speaker 2: Did you you already said Chicks on the Right dot
com slash links.
Speaker 1: I did I said it, you missed it, you didn't speak.
Neither one of us slept last night. So it's gonna
be a really fun show.
Speaker 2: So we picked today to have a really long show
when we're both exected, sure, but really tired.
Speaker 1: Right, this is a hard cup of coffee, just everybody knows, yeah, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we uh, we can't make any promises about
the quality of today's show, but we can promise that
it'll be punchy. We'll be punchy. You guys will probably
be punchy. So it's just going.
Speaker 4: To be long.
Speaker 2: We're just going to get right into it. There's a lot, unfortunately,
to get to about Signal Gate, so we'll kind of
cover that in like three different little segments. First, we'll
just have some headlights. Look at I'm already exhausted from
even thinking about signal Gate. We're gonna talk through some
little headlines about it. We're gonna, you know, cover the
a little bit of the hearing from yesterday, a little
bit of Caroline Levitt's presser, and some reaction, and then
we've got so much other stuff to cover, as you mentioned,
and more Jasmine Crockett on the way unfortunately. Yeah, so
lots to get to. Let's just get right into it.
First of all, amazing, there's already a lawsuit. American Oversight
is suing Pete Hegseeth Tulsa Gabber, John Ratcliffe, saying that
their message, the whole signal thing is a violation of
the Federal Records Act. So that lawsuit, I mean, that
happened yesterday and then wouldn't you know it as soon
as it was filed. Look who the judge is, Judge Boseberg.
Why did we ever do this crap? Why don't we
ever do this with like Hillary Clinton and Biden? Why
do it?
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, we're not super litigious whack jobs.
Speaker 2: We're not.
Speaker 1: But then again we should have been. We should be, Like,
why didn't we set the precedent for all this?
Speaker 2: The reason is because Republicans just want to get shit done.
They don't constantly want to block shit from getting done.
That is the difference, the inherent difference between Democrats and Republicans.
Democrats want to obstruct and Republicans just want to get
shit done.
Speaker 1: Sorry, exhausted, who's so many explotives? But they're all necessary.
Who's exhausted, raise their hands, me who's exhausted?
Speaker 2: So so exhausted, And interestingly so it's Boseburg that's going
to be the judge. And then someone uncovered this gem
way back from twenty sixteen that James Boseberg ruled to
delay the release of almost fifteen thousand Hillary emails until
after the election.
Speaker 1: Look, look at the why is the picture? It looks
like somebody else is driving the car with this guy.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: No, you're not wrong. Somebody definitely does.
Speaker 1: He's driving there, lunatic.
Speaker 2: I just this is all so frickin' shitch, as the
kids would say, it's us very so super sketch. And
then there was a lot of God, there was obviously
signal Gay is just not going to die, and so
we're gonna have to cover it for as long as
it's alive. One of the most egregious things. And this
was from the Wall Street Journal, which was a huge disappointment,
but they wrote this big article about how awful Signal
Gato was and how especially awful it was that Steve Whitcoff,
who was included on the thread on Signal on the Chain,
was in Russia at the time that these war plans,
and we'll discuss whether they really were war plans or
not later. But the Wall Street Journal made this claim
that he was in Russia, and therefore it made this
even worse because he could have been you know, Russia
could have gotten in on the conversation and all of
this nonsense. Well he didn't even he wasn't even opening
or part of that communication threat until he was back
in the United States and the Yemen attack, the w hoo,
they attack was already over, and at that point he
was like, yay, go team, good job on the mission.
But it was completely a lie that they were trying
to make it sound like he was in Moscow and
therefore extra extra compromise. That's just something not true. And
he was mad, like he wrote a big fat tweet
about it, saying, I am incredulous that a good newspaper
like the Journal would not check with me as to
whether I had any personal devices with me on either
of my trips to Moscow. If they had, they would
have known the truth. This was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: This was just yeah, a good newspaper, I mean it's.
Speaker 2: I mean, they have been well, Wall Street Journal has
been typically mostly good. It's not the Post.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely not the Post or the Time,
all right, Okay, I mean it's I don't know. I
don't trust any of them these days. I mean, you
just don't. I just don't. That's the thing. Yeah, Okay,
you just really can't because there is journalists. Journalists, they
don't ask questions, they don't actually journalism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just don't make a statement again without chatting
with them.
Speaker 1: They like they cracked the story in their brain and
then they like figure out ways to make that happen.
This is what that's journalism now. It's not the hey,
who when we're why and how? Let me go find
that out before I craft a narrative. They cracked the
narrative first, and then they try to like fill in
the holes.
Speaker 2: It's a bunch of shit, it is, and they don't.
The most basic thing is if you're going to write
about somebody, you should talk to that somebody like that
should be the first person that you maybe get a
quote from.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like that's one of the
rules of journalism. It used to be. Anyway, Now it's
not such a prop stranded man.
Speaker 2: And you can't you're right, like you cannot trust them
the way that you can trust feel the greens. That
was good that especially being tired. I mean, I know, right,
props man props. So I mean if you're doing one
of your if you are on your own personal maha journey.
Speaker 1: H that's right, it's a journey.
Speaker 2: Do you want to add this? This is from Bricats Nutrition.
Field of Greens is a green health powder that you
simply take a scoop of, You mix it in some water,
and you've got yourself the most delicious berry tasting. That
is the equivalent of your daily fruits and veggies allowance.
So this if you're not good at getting in all
your veggies and your fruit, this is the way to cheat.
I know, it's totally me too, And it's so much tastier,
so much tasted.
Speaker 1: Say broccoli, broccoli, yeah, so much better.
Speaker 2: Or like spinach. I mean I will eat those things,
but not enough. And that is why you take the
Field of Greens. This, by the way, they this would
have been a non starter for us, Like if they
would have come to us and said, hey, how would
you like to endorse a green health powder? I would
have been like no, But I tasted it and I
was like, this doesn't taste healthy at all. Really good,
it is really good. It's fantastic, and it's the only
one that guarantees, like when you you're going to see
results on your labs at your doctor's appointments or they're
going to give you your money back. That's a pretty
strong guarantee. Is so we know you don't eat perfect
nobody does, so you can just fill in your nutrition
gaps the easy way with Field of Greens. The code
of course is chicks. You put it in when you
make your order at fogchicks dot com. Fog chicks dot com.
When you use that code, you're going to save twenty
percent off your first order and that is a good discount.
Fogchicks dot com code shh.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Richard wants to know why we both miss sleep. Well,
we share we share a brain or completely different states.
But the answer is menopause, Richard, correct answer boom.
Speaker 2: They don't tell you that in menopause you're going to
forget everything. And so what happens is that you know
you want to make a note of something in your mind.
Back in your thirties and forties, when you made a
note of something in your mind. You just it was there,
just could there. It was like right there, it was
right there, and you could retrieve it as needed. Now
you have the thought, and you have to do all
kinds of mental exercises to admit it to your memory,
and even then it's not a guarantee.
Speaker 1: And then then you get my day back here you
start thinking about other stuff during the mental exercises. I like,
I'm like, look there's a squirrel. Oh no, you're supposed
to do mental exercises to remember the crap that you're
supposed to be remembering. It's menopause, Richard.
Speaker 2: And then if you're doing that in bed, which is
almost always the case, then you're like, then you have
the fight with yourself, like where you say, do I
get out of bed and write this down? No, because
then you really really wake up all the way. And
then you have the fight because like I don't want
to wake up all the way, but I also don't
want to forget this important piece.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the fight when you have to
get up you want to pee. Yes, you guys have
been through this where you're like you get up and
you're like.
Speaker 2: I have to peep, but should I really get up
to pee.
Speaker 1: Or can I make myself go back to sleep? You
guys have I know you've been there, you know right.
Speaker 2: By the way, I have never understood how you don't
pee in your sleep. I mean not that I do.
You know what I'm saying humans as a whole, right,
what is it about sleep that makes you not.
Speaker 1: Just what every body wakes up and says, you have
to pee?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: The body's a miraculous It's incredible. It is incredible.
Speaker 2: It's incredible. I don't understand how that works though. He's like,
but you don't ever pee the bed, you.
Speaker 6: Know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like you just humans just don't do it, and like
except when they're like two, but then you become an
adult and you just don't do it. And why, Like,
how does your body not if you're one hundred percent relaxed,
you know what I mean, you're out of it.
Speaker 1: You're gone, yeah, right, but you get up to it.
We have totally gone off the rails off tired our show.
Speaker 2: Everybody always what happens when we are tired? All right,
So here's some more. Here's some more stuff that's going
on with the signal gate, the Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldberg
released the entire text thread and some of the things
that they said to expect or some of the things
that Jeffrey Goldberg claimed were war plans seem to me
to look like an awful lot like war plans. Not
that I have ever seen war plans, but if I
were to imagine what they look like, you know, they
would be reminiscent of what we saw in some of
these text chains. But that can be debated, and probably
the most important note I would say when trying to
decide are these war plans are they classified whatever? Because
they're saying they're not classified. They're saying that it's sensitive information.
A lot of argument about that, but it does seem
to me that Pete Hegseth, as Secretary of Defense, would
be the guy to say whether or not something is
classified or not that falls under his department.
Speaker 1: You know what, I right, I do.
Speaker 2: So I feel like he gets to make that call.
But I could be wrong about how all that works.
We can tell you without a doubt that you can
see how this happened. This is the small chat group,
and you can see at the very top it says
my Michael Waltz added, you to the group. So there's
not any question about the fact that Michael Waltz added
Jeffrey Goldberg to the group. That's just that, you know what,
I mean, a lot of people arguing nineteen nineteen members
is a lot.
Speaker 1: I think nineteen is a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not a small group. It may
say small group, it's not small. You put nineteen people
in a rim with a lot of freaking people. Yeah,
a lot of people to track. Here's just an example
of a little bit of the timeline. You know, war
plans typically say there's a there's a timeline, and here's
what we're going to do, and that's exactly what this
screenshot is. It's talking about the time, it's talking about
the launch time, what they're going to use, where they're
going to strike, not specifics, but in general at a location,
and then you know, the bombs are dropping. Like it's
some detail, but not a not a huge amount of detail,
but some detail. And so there's a lot of argument.
Does this count is classified? Does it not? I don't
know what do you think?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, probably, I just I don't think it should
be Pete that's on the hook for this. I think
it's Mike Walls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tend to.
Speaker 1: I think he's ultimately responsible for this, and I think
in order, honestly, I think he's the one who should
take the fall. If everybody is going to shut up
about it, it should be him taking the fall for this,
and then everybody would shut up.
Speaker 2: I kind of think so too.
Speaker 1: I just wish that that's how they handled it, because you.
Speaker 2: Know, and there's listen, there's plenty of criticism for Jeffrey Goldberg.
Like there was a great tweet from Sean Davis who said,
I like how Jeffrey Goldberg went from saying he couldn't
possibly share the texts because they would destroy national security
to publishing them like five seconds later. These people are
so unseerious, which is right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just hate this whole thing because there's because
I get so as you would say, I get very
defensive about it. So it's hard for me to be
objective in this whole thing because they are just they're
such crap. On the other side, they they just were awful,
and it's hard for me to I just listen, it
was a it was a it was a bad mistake.
It was bad, really bad. But but the mistakes that
were made on the left are just indefensible, you know,
And so for them to point fingers at us now
and be like ter, I'm just like, you don't.
Speaker 2: Get to do that.
Speaker 1: You don't get to do it, like maybe we It's
kind of like somebody making fun of somebody in your family,
you know what I mean, Like I, I can make
fun of my sister, but you can't make fun of
my sister, you know what I mean?
Speaker 7: Like I.
Speaker 1: And that's how I feel about this whole thing, Like
I can ras my family members, but you ras my family,
and I'm gonna come after you, bro. And that's how
that's how I feel about this, Like I get I'm
so defensive, So I have a hard time having like
an objective point of view about this because I'm very
protective of our side because we usually follow the rules
and we try to do things by the rule book.
Speaker 2: We screwed up this.
Speaker 1: One thing, and then they're just like, oh my god,
we have to pounce on it. And this is after
years of these people literally doing everything they can to
take Trump down.
Speaker 2: They tried to kill him, you know, and there's been
no accountability over there. So like I feel like it's
highly extra extra objective of us to be like, you know,
Mike Waltz should probably step aside, because nothing has happened
to anybody on the other side, and people died.
Speaker 1: Nobody died in this mission, and so well it's the
bad guys did well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, no one was in jeopardy, no
one's lives were unsafe. I mean, that's so different than
the stand withdrawal, and and no one was held accountable in.
Speaker 1: That no way. So that's why I just I have
a hard time being objective. I do, and I'm just
I'm advocate. Okay, I'll be your devil's advocate.
Speaker 2: So the Atlantic is mad. They released a statement saying
attempts to disparage and discredit the Atlantic, our editor and
our reporting follow an obvious playbook by elected officials and
others in power who are hostile to journalists and the
First Amendment rights of all Americans. Our journalists are continuing
to fearlessly and independently report the truth in the public interest.
Oh yeah, we're hostile towards journalists because you suck. And
then here's just here's a flashback to twenty seventeen when
The Atlantic called Signal quote the gold standard standard of
encrypted messaging and admitted that it was used by Obama
and Hillary Clinton staffords. So nothing new. This is a
long time used thing. This was already pre loaded on
the phones as we made yesterday. They loved it.
Speaker 1: When Democrats were using it, it was great. Yeah, with
the double fing standards. I mean, who's stick it? Raise
your hands. I'm so sore.
Speaker 2: There's still a lot of debate again about how serious
or classified or secret or sensitive or whatever word you
want to use the information ones was. Hans Monkey on
Twitter said not to excuse the sheer stupidity of adding
Goldberg to the single chat, which is inexcusable and no,
no one was hacked. But let's recall that Goldberg initially
claimed that there was a war plan that contained precise
information about weapons packages, targets, and timing. That was a lie.
What he's actually released, something he could have shared from
the start, is not a war plan. There are no names,
no specific targets or locations, and no coordinates. It basically
just says some F eighteens will strike a terrorist somewhere today.
I mean, he's not wrong. I mean that kind of
made me feel a little bit better, right, Yeah, it
makes me feel a lot better. He's not wrong. But then,
because I'm trying to be objective, then we have Glenn Greenwald,
who said, I'm not going to pretend to care whether
the US government is ably hiding its secrets. A journalist's
job is to unearth them, not help hide them. But
if Goldberg had published all of this before the Yemen
bombing began, would the Trump White House have said, no problem,
it's not classified. And that's the part that makes me
feel a little yikes about it, because clearly this was
information that had it gotten out before the strikes, could
have been totally devastating. Perhaps, yes, so I don't like that,
But it is like, to your point, the Democrats are
being so hypocritical about this, one of them, I mean,
all of them are, but Elizabeth Warren being hysterical over this, bitch?
Please right?
Speaker 8: I mean, come on, if Pete haig Seth had even
a sliver for respect and sense of honor, he would
have already put his resignation on the President's desk. And
if he's not willing to do that, then the President
of the United States has a moral and in my
view of legal obligation.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you pretended to be a Native American
and you're talking about self respect to take all the seats.
Speaker 2: Right, especially because, as Bonsci pointed out, she called for
zero people to resign over thirteen of our service members dying, dying,
and this disastrous withdrawal. She called for no one to
resign over that, not a soul. None of them did.
So that's the thing.
Speaker 1: None of them did, and none of them gave me
crap about those thirteen people.
Speaker 2: Do you know any of their names?
Speaker 1: I mean, these they're all despicable, all of them. I
just this is I'm just I cannot be objective.
Speaker 2: You know what you need you need to think about dogs.
I just got a reorder of the best preventative slash
treatment powder with the handy dandy little applicator tippy thing
that makes it so easy. You know you can actually,
I know this is going to sound kind of crazy,
but you can use this preventative slash treatment powder for
your dogs as a dry shampoo because it makes them
smell yummy, and it's like a it's like a deodorant
slash dry shampoo for your dogs, and it has the
added benefit of killing off any of the yeast or
other bacteria that can cause them to have all the
itchy scratchy also red skin pro tip, put it in
your boots and your shoes as a human.
Speaker 1: It's again little pro tip. Yeah yeah, because these.
Speaker 2: Like they're shampoo, for example, this was actually originally made
for humans. It was made for humans who don't want
all those like really harsh chemicals on their hair because
it does not have I have to read these because
it's like science and I never remember it, but it
does not have sodium laurel sulfate, petroleum or chlorhexadine, which
does come in a lot of human shampoos and dog shampoos.
You don't want that because that's the stuff that strips
away all of the necessary oils that keep their coats
your scalp healthy. Plus it smells good. It's got like
this really nice summary citrusy smell. So all of their
products are usable not on not just on dogs, but humans, cats, horses, whatever,
the animal that you've got to deal with. Coat Defense
will take care of a lot of the skin irritation
issues that might be driving you to take them to
the vet. So before you spend a bunch of money
at the vet, try coatdefense dot com. When you use
code chicks, you're going to say fifteen percent off of
your entire order, whether you get people stuff or cat
stuff or dog stuff or whatever. Coat Defense dot Com
slash stick.
Speaker 9: Mayor.
Speaker 2: Pete has been exhaustingly ridiculous about this entire thing, and
Rick Grinnell's slapped him back so hard. So Pete said,
from an operational security perspective, this is the highest level
of fuck up imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
And Rick Cornell was like, you faked a bike ride.
Speaker 1: Think not, that is the greatest I forgot about that.
I actually forgot about that. I mean, I remember the
chest feeding and like the the ineptness at his job,
but I totally forgot about the bike ride. No, he
did that?
Speaker 7: What an idiot?
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Lisa Booth had the perfect thing to say on Twitter.
She said, I'll take an embarrassing group chat mistake over
getting thirteen service members killed me.
Speaker 1: Yes, Lisa, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then we had a couple of people that really
just sort of put a fine point on this entire debate,
and I loved how. For example, Ari Fleischer talked about
this on Twitter. He said, I don't think this is complicated.
The ongoing mission against Yemen was and is a success.
Keep it up. Internal comms were not handled well. The
info about the strikes should have been classified and should
remain so. Signal is not for classified comms period. The
White House needs to figure out how it's mistakenly put
a journalist on its comms list. SECTEF should admit he
put info on there. That was a mistake. No one
needs to lose their jobs. Everyone needs to learn from
their mistakes. Now get back to work, right.
Speaker 7: I love that.
Speaker 1: I know, I agree one hundred percent with Ri Fleischer. Yeah, yeah, people,
But people should lose their jobs over killing thirteen service members. Yeah,
they never will and they never will and they never
did and they never will. So you know, like clutch
your pearls over that, you jack holes. They never did,
they never did, but yet they're clutching their pearls over
a comm's mistake.
Speaker 2: I just this is why I again cannot be objective.
And I don't know if I agree with him one
hundred percent about like no needing to lose their jobs.
I mean that clearly is not going to happen at least.
You know, right now, Trump is supporting his entire team,
he's everybody made a mistake. We're moving on. I just
don't know if that's going to be I don't know
if that's going to end up being enough, or if
if we're going to be saying the same thing next week.
Who knows what can happen between now and then.
Speaker 1: There was another I think that if Waltz, if you
would have fired Walts, people probably would have maybe shut
up a little bit, but and it would have set
a standard in this administration that was not set in
the previous administration. However, right, I also can see where
Trump is probably like, wait a second, nobody lost their
jobs in the last administration for all the f ups
that they did exactly, and so why should I fire Walts?
Why should I do it? So I can see both sides?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same I can too. The problem is is
that a lot of people, no matter what side of
the aisle they're on, they get dug into their side.
And so once again I'm going to try to introduce
some objectivity here. Thanks to David, I'm not sure how
to say his life. I think it's three boy, but
he said regarding Signal Gate, people who hate Trump are
cynically trying to manufacture Valerie Plane two point zero, which
itself was a bullshit scandal. People who love Trump are
flailing and attacking Goldberg, a piece of trash lib but
one who behaved like a normal reporter.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 2: Very few people are preventing their politics from dispassionately assessing
the situation. It was a staff up, up, fuck up,
but it was not the end of the world, somewhere
in the area of not great and embarrassing and nothing more.
And I think that is a very very fair assessment, right.
Speaker 1: But then let's all just move on. You know what
I mean, and.
Speaker 2: I you know right now, And even Lindsay Graham said,
I agree with President Trump that Mike Waltz is an
invaluable member of his national security team and that he
should continue to serve the President and our country. Elon
Musk also agreed, and speaking of Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham,
Trump has endorsed him, and not just an endorsed him,
but like endorsed him extra hard. Please read the hard,
super hard.
Speaker 1: Senator Lindsay Graham is working incredibly hard for the great
people of South Carolina, a state I love and one
big In twenty sixteen, twenty twenty and twenty twenty four.
Lindsay has been a wonderful friend to me and has
always been there when I needed him. As the Chair
of the Senate Budget Committee, Lindsay is fighting tirelessly to
grow the economy, lower taxes, and eliminate government waste except
for wars. Lindsay is also relentlessly focused on helping U
secure the border, stop migrant crime, strongly support our great
military vets, promote American energy, dominance, defender always under Siege
Second Amendment, and a short piece through Strength. Senator Lindsay
Graham has my complete and total endorsement for reelection. Pop
will not let you down. Everyone in South Carolina should
helpe Lindsay have a big win next year. Now, I
had to tell you, I don't know what deals have
been made, but I don't like this endorsement.
Speaker 2: Not a fan.
Speaker 1: You guys don't like it. I don't like that.
Speaker 2: Sometimes he endorses people that I'm just like, why.
Speaker 1: I think there's a a deal has been made. A
deal has been made here. I just don't know what
it is, you know, Yeah, But I'm one of those
trust people when they tell you who they are, and
he has told me who he is, and he is
a warmongering jackal. I don't like him. I don't like
Lindsay you guys, you guys, your mileage may vary, and
that's fine if you like him. I just don't like him.
Speaker 2: I yeah, I just feel like something they Trump so
values loyalty to him, and Lindsey Graham has been very
loyal to him.
Speaker 1: Person wants to keep his job, he wants to keep you,
wants to stay in power. He likes that position. What
else has he got in life?
Speaker 2: And so I mean, this is this is what happens,
and a lot of times it's to our detriment. I mean,
there's been some times where Trump has endorsed people that
I'm just like, I don't know what you're doing here,
and it's not going to go well. And I feel
like this could be potentially one of those times. This
could be like you know, where conservatives really rally and
and they're they just reject it outright. They just don't
think that this is a good choice. I don't know,
because Lndseay Graham of course has been around forever. He's
got good name recognition here. You know, if he's on
the ballot against a Democrat. Obviously I will be voting
for him, but in a primary, I'm going to have
to see what my choices are, right, so we'll see.
Also Democrats, we've talked a lot about this lately. They
have just been on this warpath in terms of strategy
where they just want to throw out f bombs constantly
and they think that this is a winning strategy for them.
The Official Democrats X account had this to say, my god,
they put a big picture of Tammy Duckworth on the
cover of their little picture and said, Pete Hegseth is
an effing liar. That's what the official Democrat account is
putting out now.
Speaker 1: Again, we talked about this yesterday. We say the words
here on this podcast. Sometimes we do that and you know, sorry,
it is what it is. We're a podcaster. I'm not
in Congress. I'm not a senator. But if I were
either one of those things, I would treat that office
with the respect that it deserves, and I would not
be doing that. This is absolutely classless.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've come a long way from when it
was a big effing deal. But Joe Biden said this
is a big effing deal. Do you remember how explosive
of the story that was. And now it's just like
this is part of their strategy.
Speaker 1: This is the thing. The next thing, you know, we're
going to be like a third Mold country to to
be throwing chairs at each other. Honestly, yeah, I don't
think we're very far from that. We're not, really don't
We're not at all. It's gross, Yeah, it really is vile.
Speaker 2: Before we get back to Signal Gate, we do need
to talk about one of the most disgusting men on
the planet, Andrew Tate. You will not convince me otherwise.
I don't care how much you try. Yesterday, TMZ broke
a story that one of his girls, one of his girlfriends,
says that he nearly choked her unconscious during a violent
sexual accounter two weeks ago, go prompting her to go
to the police. She reported this to the police. Her
name is Bree Stern. She filed a sexual assault report,
claims Andrew attacked her on the eleventh of March while
they were staying at a Beverly Hills hotel, and she
also went to the emergency room for whatever her injuries were.
She has pictures from that. She also has like the
whatever it is the receipt that you get when you
go to the er. She has that medical report, and
she also has screenshots of text messages between her and
Andrew which are absolutely disgusting and you'll see in just
a second this is this is them together. She met
him last summer when she went to Romania for a
modeling gig and they started dating. I don't know why
women are attracted to this. We never get it.
Speaker 1: Quit dating this guy, just stop it so gross. I
know I'm not like victim. I'm not trying to victim
blame here, but seriously, like I feel like at this point,
if you're a woman that has half a brain and
you can read the news, you know who this guy is.
If you can read, stay away from this guy. Yeah,
and you know what kind of a guy he is.
Speaker 2: There's plenty of videos of words coming out of his
own face that tell you exactly how you can expect
to be treated and it's not good. Okay, keep it. Yeah,
and then the text messages. So here is one of
the exchanges. He said to her, you back talk too much,
or so I beat you. I will hit you today,
but I love you. She said, why the name calling?
He says, do you understand? She says, I'm scared. I
don't care. Do you understand?
Speaker 1: Yes? But why the hitting?
Speaker 2: Do you belong to me or not? I do? That's
just one example. There were other messages in which he
got even worse. He said, I want to beat the
f out of you. You will give me a child
this year, bitch? She says, why do you want to
beat me? It's twelve thirty am. I'm in the room.
I sleep soon. He says, what's the point in having you?
If I don't beat you and im prag you, you
should be thankful? I mean so gross. I really love
hitting you. It's very good for me and you. It's relaxing,
don't you think, Pooky?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: I cry. This is how she talks to him.
Speaker 1: God, I can't I know.
Speaker 2: It's so gross. And then he says you need to
be hit. She says, why I don't like it? What
did I do? You deserve it? This is Andrew Tate.
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Why any conservative wants to align with him, be photographed
with him, support him, do interviews with with him, do
interviews with him, in any way involved with him. He
is not a people, and there are people and here
saying that's fake. Okay, okay, yeah, you should believe he's
an absolute saying go back at the top of his
Twitter feed right now about in a video in which
he's self promoting, and then explain how you can say
anything positive about this absolute jackass.
Speaker 1: And if you think it's fake, then I'm sure you'll
let your daughter date him. We'll see how, we'll see
how well that goes for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody's saying Laura Lumer is a big fan of his.
Need I say more? Okay, all right, all right, just
so absolutely disgusting. Yeah, all right, moving back, because there
was a hearing yesterday and some more reaction from the
key players in Signalgate, one of those being Mike Waltz.
When the tweet, or when the signal thread came out
in its entirety, he said, no locations, no sources and methods,
no war plans, foreign partners had already been notified that
strikes were imminent. To the bottom line, President Trump is
protecting America and our interests and Pete Hegseth also had
a very stern message to the press about the entire thread.
He said, no names, no targets, no locations, no units,
no routes, no sources, no methods, no classified information. Those
are some really shitty war plans. This only proves one thing.
Jeff Goldberg has never seen a war plan or an
attack plan, as he now calls it, not even close.
As I type this, my team and I are traveling
the Indo Paycom region, meeting with commanders, the guys who
make real war plans and talking to troops. Will continue
to do our job while the media does what it
does best, pedal hoaxes.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can understand why he's pissed. I get it,
oh totally.
Speaker 2: But it's also not a hoax. I mean, that's really
not the right word for this. It's a big mess up,
not about a hoax.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe not hopes, but to incite drama where drama
doesn't need to be.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so maybe hoax wasn't the best, the most
carefully crafted word, but I would definitely say drama.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, unnecessary drama. And the Intelligence Committee hearings continued,
Tulsa gave a really great opening statement in which she
addressed this, I'm not going to play the whole thing,
but just a piece of it that was really, really
good here is t'lsie.
Speaker 11: Conversation was candid and sensitive, but, as the president National
Security Advisor stated, no classified information was shared. There were
no sources, methods, locations, or war plans that were shared.
This was a standard update to the National Security Cabinet
that was provided alongside updates that were given to foreign
partners in the region. The Signal Message app comes pre
installed on government devices. In December of twenty twenty four,
Sissus stated quote, we strongly urge highly targeted individuals to
immediately review and apply best practices provided in the Guidance
to Protect Mobile communications, including consistent use of end to
end encryption, and they named Signal as an app as
an example of such an end to end encrypted messaging app.
Speaker 2: I like her. I mean she's so calm, you know,
she really so like a loha, which means hello and goodbye.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know that, and.
Speaker 2: Probably other stuff. It probably means all kinds of things.
Calm your tits, right, She's so steady man.
Speaker 1: Like, she really is. She's just a rock. And I
like her. I just really do so.
Speaker 2: I feel like I mean her same and John Ratcliffe
don't don't mess with my John Ratcliffe. I love this guy.
I absolutely love him. He tried desperately to get this
committee and the world to refocus on what really happened
that day. Here he is.
Speaker 5: Now there's so much talk about this Atlantic article and
about things that were said and that could have happened,
instead of a focus on what did happen. So my
responsibility as CIA director, one of its responsibilities is to
kill terrorists, and that's exactly what I did along with
President Trump's excellent national security team. That's what we should
be focused on with regard to that article. I also
would appreciate the opportunity to relay the fact that yesterday
I spent four hours answering questions from senators as a
result of that article that were intimating that I transmitted
classified information because there were hidden messages. Those messages were
revealed today and revealed that I did not transmit classified information,
and that the reporter, who I don't know, I think
intentionally intended it to indicate that that reporter also indicated
that I had released the name of an undercover CIA
operative in that signal chat. In fact, I had released
the name of my chief of staff, who is not
operating undercover that was deliberately false and misleading.
Speaker 1: Yep, okay, so that actually would be a hope.
Speaker 2: That part is definitely hoaxy. Indeed, indeed, just like the
Steve Widcoff stuf that was also hoaxy, there are definitely
elements of hoax the nation here. There's you know, cularity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's definitely some hoax hilarity, you guys.
Speaker 2: And then it got just flat ridiculous. So this Democrat
Representative Gomez decided to take this this hearing in the stupidest,
most inappropriate direction by bringing up Pete's alleged drinking.
Speaker 12: You guys, like your knowledge, you know whether Pete Hexa
had been drinking before he classified information.
Speaker 11: I don't have any knowledge of Secretary Hegsath's personal habits.
Speaker 12: Director Radcliffe, same question, yes or no?
Speaker 5: You know no, I'm going to answer that. I think
that's an offensive line of question. The answer is no.
I find it interesting that you want to feel like
I'm going to answer you.
Speaker 1: Answer a question you want to answer.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 5: I want to focus on the good work that the
CIA is doing that the intelligence community.
Speaker 12: Director, I reclaim my time, Director, I reclaimed my time here.
Speaker 4: I have huge.
Speaker 12: Respect for the Cio. Huge respect for men and women
in the uniform. But this was a question that's on
the top of minds of every American.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I wasn't.
Speaker 2: No, it isn't now, it isn't it all.
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking about that at all until you said it.
We're an idiot. God, these I couldn't believe that this
was a thing I did. These people are hell bent
on personal destruction. That's all they care about. They just
want to personally destroy other people, other Americans. They're so
gross in every way.
Speaker 2: Yeah that guy.
Speaker 1: Wow, imagine ignorant slut.
Speaker 2: So I may be totally paranoid here, but you tell
me what you think after you watch this clip of
Mark Rubio, So Marco Rubio was asked about this, All
of all of them are being asked about this incessantly. Right,
we know this. He is defending his own behavior, which
I would too if I was put on defense, I
would be defending my own behavior. But to me, I
maybe reading way more into this than I should. But
to me, it suggests the possibility of some angst in
the top tier, in the in the between the group themselves.
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because you may be reading I don't know.
Speaker 2: I may, but I could just be extra parano. The
reason I say it is because if this were me,
if I were part of this group and I had
expected that Mike Waltz or whoever was setting up the
group was doing it correctly, I'd be super irritated that
I had to be part of this whole scandal, you
know what I mean, I'd be I'd be irritated. Why
did you.
Speaker 1: Drag me into this crap?
Speaker 2: Right exactly? And so that's the sense that I'm getting,
and I could be totally misreading it. You guys decide, Marco.
Speaker 4: Someone made a mistake.
Speaker 13: If someone made a big mistake and added a journalist,
nothing against journalists, but you ain't supposed to be on
that thing. So they got on there and this happened.
I've been, you know, so I can speak to myself
or my presence on it. I think my role I
on it was just speaking for my role. I contributed
to it twice. I identified my point of contact, which
is my chief of staff. And then later on I
think three hours after the White House's official announcements had
been made, I congratulated the members of the team. I've
been assured by the Pentagon and everyone just obviously that
was a mistake and that shouldn't have happened, and the
White House is looking at it, but that none of
the information.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think there's the kind of angst
there that you have when your parents are using face time,
you know what I mean, you know what I'm saying,
and my mom like, you know, I love you, Mom,
She's going to watch this, and she's so she understands.
But like when your parents use FaceTime, you see is
like their chin or like their eyes and you're like,
you're not, no, like take move the phone away, like
they don't.
Speaker 2: Technology.
Speaker 1: Technology can be a challenge for certain people. And I
think the signal thing was a challenge for Waltz, you know,
and it was already preloaded. It was a challenge. He
didn't know what the hell he was doing. And so
there's other people it's not so much of a challenge
for and they're like, oh jeez, and they're kind of
about it, you know, this is the thing. It's it's
angst because they're like, if you don't know how to
use it, then maybe have somebody else help me use it,
or don't freaking use it, because now we're all having
an answer for your not being able to use it.
Speaker 2: I just hope that it's not. I just hope that
it doesn't get to be you know what I mean.
I just don't want to lose that.
Speaker 1: I think it's fine, it's gonna blow over. Give it
a week. The news cycle is crazy, you know how
this new cycle is. I know, literally like three next week,
we're gonna be talking about different crabs. There's gonna be
a whole other drama happening. It always is, right, Am
I wrong?
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's hear from Pete. Everybody's calling, like
all the Democrats are calling for Pete to be the
one to resign over this. I just I they just
want him gone, clearly that's what they want. So here's
Pete addressing this actually on video on campra.
Speaker 10: Nobody's texting war plans. Well, I noticed this morning out
came something that doesn't look like war plans. And as
a matter of fact, they even change the title to
attack plans because.
Speaker 4: They know it's not war plans.
Speaker 14: There's no units, no locations, no routes, no flight paths,
no sources, no methods, no classified information.
Speaker 2: You know who sees war plans.
Speaker 10: I see them every single day. I looked at him
this morning. I looked at attack plans this morning. You
know who does attack plans and war plans. Men like
that Admiral right there, Paparo for the Indo Pacific or
Eric Krilla are general in Sancom. They do attack plans
and war plans, and thank god we have those leaders
who do it and do it well, and our enemies
know it. My job, as it said at top of that,
everybody's seen it now, Team Update, is to provide updates
in real time, general updates in real time, keep everybody
in for That's.
Speaker 2: What I did.
Speaker 1: Okay, So he needs to dig in. I'm fine with
him digging, and he needs to just be like I'm.
Speaker 2: Not a believing.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, because I like him and I want
him to stay.
Speaker 2: I do too, I mean, I do want all people
to stay. I know a lot of people in the
comments are they're wanting us to talk about this Alex
Wang guy. And I get it because he is the
staffer to Mike Waltz who allegedly had the I guess
access to this. Maybe he was using Mike Waltz's phone.
He's the one that set up the chat. He's the
one that accidentally added Goldberg.
Speaker 8: Know.
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, though, I thought, had a really interesting take
on this, and he seems suspicious of Mike Waltz and
whether it's Alex Wong or whether it's Waltz. Here's what
Charlie said.
Speaker 15: How did Jeffrey Goldberg get added to a private government
signal chat? Well, here is what we know. We know
that Mike Waltz was the admin of the group chat. Now,
for example, I text a lot of people on signal.
I use signal a lot. The thing about signal is
that when you text somebody, So for example, let's just
say my wife, if I were to put e into
my signal group or signal new message, she is the
first contact. Why because I message her a lot on signal.
Oh for example, if I want to message another one
of my friends that I message on signal, let's say
Mike Davis, who I message a lot on signal, Mike
Davis comes up as the first contact. Meaning when you
type in a letter, whether it be J for Jeffrey Goldberg,
you had to have had established contact with that person
in order for that contact to come up first. In
order for this to have been a mistake that Mike
Waltz made. He would have to have a lot of
contact with Jeffrey Goldberg, enough so much that it populated
as the first contact to be added on signal. Yeah,
and Mike Waltz is the admin of this chat. We're
gonna play a piece of tape though, because something either
Mike Waltz is completely lying or Signal is compromised.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and maybe that is true about his
helper dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Darren says that he got the wong number.
Speaker 6: Hearin.
Speaker 1: It could be, but I think that Charlie has some
valid points there. This is something the.
Speaker 2: Last that's the part where I get like, I don't
know that this is a forgivable let's just look past
it kind of thing. I just don't know, you guys,
I don't know. But I'll tell you who definitely has
a strong opinion about it, and that is Barstools de Portnoy,
who said, I mean, he had one of his emergency
broadcasts and this is just a tiny little piece of it.
Speaker 16: It pooh, pooh it.
Speaker 17: You can't downplay it. You have to sit up there
and be like, holy, this is a couple of epic proportions.
There will be accountability. I will get to the bottom
of this, and frankly, I think I don't like calling
for people's heads. Michael Waltz, it seems like you're the
guy who added him to the group chat. You have
to lose your job. You should step down. You cannot
be adding random people to a group chat with this
sensitive classified information. By now, pooh pooh, it's on him.
He should have left the group chat instantly. This guy
should in a stay And it's on Jeffrey Goldberg for
not immediately being like, hey, I should be here. No, no,
it's on you for adding them.
Speaker 2: Or maybe it's on Alex Wang. I would be fine
seeing Alex Wongo like, nobody knows who that guy is.
If he's really the one behind it, then get rid
of him. Make it a big spectacle, say it. Say
this guy had the access to my phone. He's the
one that added him. Alex Wang either has something on
Michael Waltz that's preventing him from doing this very easy solution,
or Michael Waltz is the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's the one that he's the one that
did something wrong.
Speaker 2: Right, he's the one that did something wrong. He did
something very wrong.
Speaker 1: You guys.
Speaker 2: Caroline Lovett had a presser. You know she was reading this.
Speaker 1: I think she had fun. Oh, I think she actually
was enjoying the smack Dad.
Speaker 2: She liked it, and it was like she could not
wait to get out of there. She cut it short
as soon as she could. She cut people off left
and right. She's a beautiful job, did a beautiful job.
She had a perfect opener. Here's just a little bit
of it.
Speaker 1: Here are the facts.
Speaker 18: The National Security Advisor has taken responsibility for this matter,
and the National Security Council immediately said, alongside the White
House Council's Office, that they are looking into how a
reporter's number was inadvertently added to this messaging thread. We
have said all along that no classified material was sent
on this messaging thread. There were no locations, no sources
or methods revealed, and there were certainly no war plans discussed.
The Atlantic has even admitted this themselves. Their release of
these internal messages validates the truth which we have been
saying all along. If this story proves anything, it proves
that democrats and they're propagandists and the mainstream media know
how to fabricate orchestrate and disseminate a misinformation campaign quite well.
And there's arguably no one in the media who loves
manufacturing and pushing hoaxes more than Jeffrey Goldberg.
Speaker 2: Okay, so there was that part, and then she was like,
we are not going to be lectured by the same
idiots that defended the Afghanistan withdrawal and Joe Biden's entire
fake presidency. Right, sit down, everybody. So here was that part.
Speaker 18: Point beautiful, We are not going to be lectured about
national security and American troops by Democrats in the mainstream
media who turned the other cheek when the Biden administration,
because of their incompetence, left thirteen service members dead in Afghanistan,
and not a single person in the previous administration was
held accountable for that rash withdrawal Joe Biden said, in fact,
it was a great operation.
Speaker 1: That is to spit.
Speaker 18: It's unacceptable to this president, in this Secretary of Defense,
the National Security Advisor has taken responsibility for this inadvertent
number being added to the messaging thread. But above all,
we take the lives of our troops, safety, security, prosperity
around the globe with the utmost.
Speaker 1: Series, and nobody died except for the bad guys.
Speaker 2: Nobody died except the bad guys.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, so take all the seats. She handled that
beautifully good. She's good. KJP is like, oh damn, I'm
going to go get a little show at MSNBC's like,
you have no idea. I mean, she heard. She just
could not. No one even knew what it was like
to do this job until she took this job. And
now everybody's like, oh snap, she's so good.
Speaker 2: And she had zero percent patients for some of the girls.
Caitlyn Collins, she had no patients for Jackie Heinrich, she
had no patience for She allowed Jackie one question, but
Jackie kept wanting to go. Same thing with Caitlyn Jackie
Hirich days. I know, watch how she shuts both of
them down.
Speaker 7: Pensions.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that he released that to embarrass the
administration ahead of the worldwide threats?
Speaker 19: Jennifer fifteen strike drones on target and in all caps,
he said, this is when the first bombs will definitely drop.
Does the president feel that he was misled by his
national security advisors? Whoever it was that told him there
was no classified information in there now that he's seen
these messages.
Speaker 18: I've now been asked and answer this question three times
by the both of you, and I've given you my answer.
Speaker 2: The President feels the same today as he did yesterday.
Speaker 18: Phil I'm sorry, might follow up on what you would
Go ahead, Philip, Caitlyn, I'm not taking your.
Speaker 2: Follow up, Philip on something you just said to Caroline.
Speaker 7: This is Caitlin.
Speaker 18: I'm not taking your follow up, Philip.
Speaker 7: Go ahead. I have called on you.
Speaker 1: I don't like you, can I don't like you, Caitlin.
Speaker 2: She got smacked down by Trump yesterday or the day
before yesterday, and now Caroline, yesterday, nobody likes you. Nobody
likes you. Okay, So that was the presser, and then
I'm just extra glad that she said the part about
I'm really glad for the people that are bringing up
the thirteen service members who got killed, right, and the
absolute double standard and hypocrisy that we're seeing from the Democrats,
And it's getting to be even laughable in some cases.
Mark Warner, who we've made fun of for days. As
part of that hearing, he was on the squat box
and he just got totally slapped down. It was glorious.
Check this out.
Speaker 20: Well, you remember the Biden administration started with the biggest
FOP in history with the Afghanistan and thirteen dead Americans.
Let's not get too sanctimonious and high and mighty up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, let's sanctimonious is such a great word. That's
what they are. They are just Yes, they're sanctimonious blowhards
and they have no pillar to stand on. These people
are just void of morality, and then they're preaching it
to us, and it's like, you know, get to do that.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. And Will kin he's
always been such a softy to me, but it seems
like lately what he's doing on his show is inviting
democrats with whom he can spar and he's doing that
a lot lately. He had on who was it was
Representative Jason Crowe yesterday and Jason crow is one of
those people that's like Pete Hegseth has to go, and
so Will Kine was asking, well, whose head did you
call for when the thirteen service members were killed, and
it got really kind of heated. I was very proud
of Will Caine. Here's that exchange in.
Speaker 21: Fact, Congressmen, In fact, I do have some of your
words right here. So this is who you told, what
you told CPR News, which is a Colorado news agency.
Back in twenty twenty three, you said, I do think
the withdrawal from Afghanistan was messy, it was chaotic, there
were a lot of mistakes that were made, and I
haven't pulled punches on that. And then you go on
to say in that same interview, but there are lessons learned,
and I take a holistic look and not look at
it through a small frame. So you would that it
was a mistake. You know that it was connected. I agree,
by the way, it is apples and orangers, because in
this situation, thirteen marines actually died, so I agree they're
not apples to apples comparisons. But on this particular mistake,
you didn't demand anyone's resignation, and so I don't find
it principled that now you do when nothing happened other
than a successful military operation was executed. It seems to me, congressmen,
what you're doing is playing college transparation.
Speaker 1: I love that he's h percent correct. He's one hundred
and fifty percent correct.
Speaker 20: M M.
Speaker 2: These people are so genuous. God, and Trump is this
is his moment where he kind of looked like how
you were saying about your mom This is when you
know Trump has no idea what he's doing with technology
or like how some of these platforms work, because now
he's trying to say that the signal may just be
it may just be broken, you guys, it may just
be a broken signal.
Speaker 6: Or witch hunt.
Speaker 22: Here we are talking about some of the greatest business
deals ever made, the greatest companies the world of moving
into the United States, and you want to ask about
whether or not signal works.
Speaker 6: I don't know that signal works.
Speaker 22: I think signal could be defective, to be honest with you,
and I think that's what we have to because you use.
Speaker 6: Signal, and we use signal, and everybody uses signal.
Speaker 22: But it could be a defective platform and we're gonna
have to find that after Oh.
Speaker 1: My god, it's so funny. I don't think that Elon
just needs to make something for them or just the
nerds craft something for the government that is just governmental.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, they really do. They This doesn't seem
like it should be hard, and it seems like something
that should have been done forever ago. So yeah, I
hope that's what they do. A lot of people are
making a lot of hay about this story too, which
is that Michael Waltz's Venmo was public until like yesterday
afternoon when the story started going around, and it is
filled with reporters, which.
Speaker 1: I don't understand because Venma, I don't it's a financial app,
so I don't get it where they all just paying
each other, I don't under.
Speaker 2: I think it has something to do with just his
contacts were loaded. Like you know how sometimes if you
join a new social platform, it'll say do you want
to import all your contacts? I guess, And so I
think that maybe what happened here, and so he just
had it all public. Now I am no Venmo expert.
You guys know, if you have ever tried to friend
chicks on right on Venmo, I will never friend you
because I don't understand the purpose of that and it
just makes me uncomfortable. So so like, I don't understand
all the ins and outs of Venmo for real. But again,
this is just one more way the Democrats are trying
to show that Michael Waltz has no business being in
the position he's in because he doesn't know the basics
about privacy.
Speaker 1: I think he should be in the in the business
that he's in. He should be in the position that
he's in. It's just that I think that there is
a certain level of technical competence by some people, and
some people don't have. That doesn't mean they're not good
at their jobs. I just think that there's you know,
some people just aren't technically adapt and I think this
guy's one of them. That's Achilles Heel, like he's, uh,
he's just not good at tech. It sucks for him
because now he's paying for it because like, yeah, I
don't know why he would be public on VENMO. I
don't get that.
Speaker 2: I think I think, well, because remember before he was
national security advisor, Like he was just a regular person, right,
and he suddenly just didn't think to change it once
he became national security advice.
Speaker 1: Hey, well, there needs to be somebody that probably briefs
all of these people and says, Okay, it's time to
lock down now.
Speaker 2: Right exactly exactly, lock it up, lock it up. That's yeah,
that is the problem. Okay, So we talked about Caitlin
Collins a moment ago and Interestingly, she had on VA
Agency Secretary Admin Doug Collins, who we adore, and so
there was a Collins versus Collins little spat that took
place yesterday. And I think Doug Collins definitely want it.
He shows how to deal with media. This was so
fun to watch. Oh my gosh, you're gonna love this.
Speaker 19: Do you believe that a mistake was made here though,
to have this conversation, to add a reporter, and to
have it on an unsupported, unclassified group.
Speaker 3: Setting, Kaitlyn, And I've just told you, I've just answered
the question. I wasn't part of it, and you know,
I'm not going to speculate more than what the President's
already talked about and those who have been involved and
talked about but would love to talk about the veterans.
Speaker 19: Yeah, and I can have questions about the veterans. But
given what we saw with the group chat and how
this was used. You are a member of the cabinet.
You obviously know these other members, several.
Speaker 18: Of them who were in there.
Speaker 2: Is this typical for the.
Speaker 19: Cabinet to have conversations over a signal? Is this something
that you use?
Speaker 3: All right? Well, Kaylen, send you and Dally, do I
want to talk about the VA. I have a question,
as via secretary is Cabinet. I want to ask you
because I've been co curious about this because my job
is to take care of veterans, and I would like
to know why CNN is hostile to veterans, especially one
in Florida where you just had a five million dollar
defamation suit taking a fence at a veteran who is trying
to help people. In fact, one of your employees actually
said we're gonna nail him. I have a question for you, Caitlin,
is that employees still employed? Are you really concerned about veterans?
So if we don't want to talk about veterans, you
want to talk about everything else you'd like to hear
from CNN as the Veteran Cabinet secretary, why CNN seems
to have a problem with veterans.
Speaker 19: Well, mister secretary, respectfully, my question was about whether or
not he was a member of the cabinet. Use this
and respectfully, I'm conducting, Caitlin, and I do have a
lot of questions for you on veterans affairs, but I
don't think what.
Speaker 4: You want to do.
Speaker 3: What you want to do is cabinet answered, And if
you want to continue this like this, that's fine. But
they're VA employees who are working very hard. They are
veterans who get their care from the VA, and they
get their benefits from the VA. And it does mean
no good to spect it on something that I've already
asked an answer. So I've asked an answer your question.
Why don't you answer mine? Are you still this person
still employed who said they're going to nail one of
my veterans, who you had to do a five million
dollars award lxury because of defamation and then you settled
the case. Answer my question.
Speaker 2: Respectfully, sir.
Speaker 19: I'm asking the questions here and I have no involvement
in there.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't tell her she's uncomfortable. I
can't tell because she has no expression. She is your dog, Masie.
She is emotionless. She is just a freaking robot. Like
there's no emotion there. Could you see any emotion. I
was waiting to see if she was getting uncomfortable, and
I don't think she she.
Speaker 2: May actually be an android. I couldn't tell. Like, there's
nothing there, that's so benowre nothing. Somebody says she's dead inside.
That's exactly right.
Speaker 6: She is.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is her whole world, you know what
I mean. This is a person who does not have
an existence outside of Sienna.
Speaker 1: Has no emotions, and but that is really sad. I
actually felt sad for her for like half a second.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. Something. Yesterday Trump he did it a lot.
He was very, very busy yesterday. He spent some time
talking with the new newly formed Republican Women's Caucus, at which,
by the way, who what's her name? Oh my gosh,
I just slept my mind that the woman who just
announced that she's pregnant. Oh my gosh, what is it?
Speaker 23: Who is that?
Speaker 2: Guys, Macananny Kayley, No, no, no, no, no, no, she's a She's
a congresswoman. Who's a pregnant congress woman. I don't know
the pregnant do I know her? The pregnant the menopause thing.
Speaker 1: This is the stuff, that's a pregnant congresswoman. Who is it?
Tell us?
Speaker 2: I thought it was cat something, cat, cat, cat?
Speaker 1: What is it? It's cat the blonde lady, the blonde lady,
Cat Cammick.
Speaker 2: You can't is a Cammick?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: Cammack kmack. Yes, but that's right, mccammick, mccamb he's got many.
Speaker 1: In here, everybody, Cat cammick, I know you're talking about.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: She's adorable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love her so much. She's she's pregnant for
her with her first baby, so super super exciting. Anyway,
she made that announcement there, and he was talking about
some of the things that he's accomplished on behalf of women,
how he has stood up for women. Here's just a
little piece of that.
Speaker 24: No matter how many surgeries you have or chemicals you inject,
if you're born with male DNA and every cell of
your body, you can never become a woman.
Speaker 25: You're not going to be.
Speaker 2: A woman, Okay.
Speaker 24: And that's why last month I proudly signed a historic
executive order to ban men from competing in women's sports.
Speaker 1: And he was great, that was out so great in that,
Kat kmack.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, she's awesome and she's pregnant, so congrats to her.
And I'm very sorry about all of our MENOPAUSA today
years old.
Speaker 1: And I learned that, Wow, Okay.
Speaker 2: Well that's okay because most people were yesterday years old.
So you're really not that far behind.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good.
Speaker 2: Trump also announced new tariffs. There is going to be
a twenty five percent tariff on cars not manufactured in
the United States. Here he is talking about that.
Speaker 6: And this is very modest.
Speaker 22: And what we're going to be doing is a twenty
five percent tariff on all cars that are not made
in the United States, if they're made in the United States.
Speaker 6: Is absolutely not terror.
Speaker 22: We start off with a two and a hared percent base,
which is what we were at, and we.
Speaker 6: Go to twenty five percent.
Speaker 22: And basically, as you know, and as you've been seeing
not reporting as accurately as it should be reported, because
it's a massive story, business is coming back to the
United States so that they don't have to pay tariffs.
Speaker 2: And I think, so that's happening.
Speaker 7: It's great.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. It's happening. Things are
gonna We're going to see some changes.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: We're going to see some changes, very much looking forward
to April second, when all of the stuff is supposed
to go down and things are really going to start rolling.
And then lastly in the segment before we move on
to some more great stuff from Trump's people, Trump also
noticed that there was a reporter. I don't know who
the reporter was, but there was a reporter wearing a mask,
and a lot of people are saying that he was
trolling her. I just thought he was being kind of
nice about it. I don't know what to make of this.
You guys, watch and tell me.
Speaker 6: I haven't seen a mask in so long. You're wearing
a mask. So nice of you. I haven't seen anybody
wearing a maskt along, trolley. Good, you feel more comfortable, right, good,
that's good.
Speaker 1: He's trolling her. He was totally trolling, absolutely trolling. Yeah,
I would have done that.
Speaker 26: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love the same Like, seriously, what this is how
I feel about like people in Austin who do that?
When I go to Austin, Texas and you see like
the four people in Austin still wearing masks, how are
you doing? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Also, Scott Besend, I cannot get enough of him.
Speaker 1: I love him, loves Scott. He also would be at
my table, like my dream table of the people. I
love him. I want to sit next to him at
the dream table. I feel like he would teach me manners, he.
Speaker 2: Would know all the things about the.
Speaker 1: Vanners, right, he was great.
Speaker 2: He was on to talk about all of these ridiculous
rumors about Social Security being cut, all the fear mongering
coming from Democrats. He wanted to set the record straight
and he slammed Schumer in this clip, which was awesome.
Is that the goal to kill social Security from within it?
As we just heard from Senator Schumer.
Speaker 16: Martha, first of all, thanks for having me, and clearly
no Senator Schumer seems a little discombobulated these days. He
did the right thing on passing the clean cr last week.
He's taken a lot of shrapnel from his part, and
extreme statements like this are not helpful for anyone. The
American people when they voted for President Trump voted for
accountability and the whether it's doge, whether it is our
efforts of Treasury and the I R S. We are
bringing accountability and efficiency in and we want to make
things better they for the American people. We want to
ensure that they get everything that they have paid in
and their their benefits are there when they need them
as they need them. So, you know, Senator Schumer is
way up base here.
Speaker 1: I just love the way he said that discombobulated.
Speaker 2: I know, because he's so kind, you know, and we
want to say he's that ship, he's a villain. Yeah,
we would have said that way.
Speaker 1: That's what I would have said, right, this is what
he needs to sit next to me and then tell
me what fork you use at life.
Speaker 2: He would be like, right, dazy, don't say that, don't.
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 2: All right. You want to feel some American spirit, some
sick patriotism, You're going to get a lot of it
from just watching a few clips from JD. Vance's visit
to Quantico yesterday. The Marines there were so freaking stoked
that he came to visit. Here is the reaction when
he first came to speak, all right.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 9: How are we doing?
Speaker 2: My gosh bendom, which was great, I mean, and he
was so chit chatty with everybody. And then he got
to shoot targets with big guns.
Speaker 27: That is like such a dude day, right, and he
like he was making great shot. They were like head shot,
that's so.
Speaker 2: Awesome, how fun, let's live in a dream.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's just so great. Close up I love it.
Speaker 2: That is just so great.
Speaker 1: I hope he's our next president. You guys right, America man.
Speaker 2: So so good. So here's some interesting stuff that's happening.
He Usha was planning on going to Greenland by herself
to like go watch a dog sled race, and apparently
there were some not so kind remarks made about her visit.
There were some security issues or worries, and so he
decided that he was going to go too, And here
is his announcement about that.
Speaker 28: Hey guys, it's Shady Vans, the Vice President. And you know,
there was so much excitement around Usha's visit to Greenland
this Friday that I decided that I didn't want her
to have all that fun by herself, and so I'm
going to join her. I'm going to visit some of
our guardians in the Space Force on the northwest coast
of Greenland and also just check out what's going on
with the security there of Greenland. As you know, it's
really important. A lot of other countries have threatened Greenland,
have threatened to use its territories and its waterways, to
threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course
to threaten the people of Greenland. So we're going to
check out how things are going there. And I say that,
speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate.
Speaker 4: The security of the people.
Speaker 28: Of Greenland because we think it's important to protecting the
security of the entire world. Unfortunately, leaders in both America
and in Denmark, I think ignored Greenland for far too long.
That's been bad for Greenland. It's also been bad for
the security of the entire world. We think we can
take things in a different direction. So I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4: Check it out.
Speaker 1: I love it and it's great.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it's fantastic. And I love him.
Speaker 2: I love him too.
Speaker 1: There's big butt you're saying a big butt with with him.
Speaker 2: He's fantastic. The so Trump was on with that Vince
guy who took over Bongino's show, and they were talking
about this. They were talking about Vance going to Greenland
and like the whole Greenland thing. Trump when he talks
about taking Greenland, he sounds I don't know what separates
us now from like any other dictator taking over a country.
How are we different when we say things like we're
just we're going to have to take Greenland, like it's
just going to have to be ours. Do you know
what I mean? I understand the importance of it. I
totally get it. From a strategy standpoint, everything Vance said
was perfectly legitimate, but like here's what Trump said. You'll
see the difference, and then we can talk about it.
Speaker 9: Green international safety and security. We need it, We have
to have it, and it's a island that from a
defensive pashure and even offense of pashure is something we need,
especially with the world the way it is, and we're
going to have.
Speaker 29: To have it.
Speaker 9: And so I hate to put it that way, but
we're going to have.
Speaker 4: To have it.
Speaker 30: Do you think the people of Greenland are eager to
become American citizens?
Speaker 9: I don't know. I don't think they're uneager eager, but
I think that we have to do it, and we
have to convince them. And we have to have that
land because it's not possible to properly defend a large
section of this earth, not just the United States, without it.
So we have to have it.
Speaker 1: He sounds like he has a cold.
Speaker 2: He did sound like he had a cold, but he
also like I get it, I get wanting it, but
you know what I mean, Like to me, maybe maybe
this is the thing that he does where he's saying
it's a crazy thing, so that it leads to a
conversation that is not crazy.
Speaker 6: I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think it sounds crazy, and I don't. I
don't take it as like a sinister thing. I think that,
and I don't think he looks at it as like
I'm going to be putin and I'm going to take
over that region. I think that maybe you're reading into
it like in a sinister way.
Speaker 2: We have to have it. I hate to put it
that way, but we're going to have to have.
Speaker 1: But I think of it as an economic thing. I
think he's going to do it from an economic a
deal perspective, and not like we're going to go in
there with troops and take it over.
Speaker 2: He's just not that guy.
Speaker 1: He doesn't.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not that guy. Yeah, I don't. There's
an art of the deal coming, because that's he is.
The art of the deal.
Speaker 1: I think that's how it's going to be. I think
it's going to be art of the deal. I think
it's going to be we're going to make you a
deal that you cannot refuse.
Speaker 2: I think that's how it is. That's who he is.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be we're going to come in
there with troops and take over. It's not going to
be that way. That's not who he is.
Speaker 2: So I have no doubt maybe he could. Just the
way that jd. Vance talked about going in to talk
out why it's strategically important and that this needs to
happen is vastly different from the way that Trump talks
about it. Trump is the way that he has lived
his life is he has said he has in his brain.
He has said I'm going to do this impossible thing,
and then people are like, that's impossible, there's no way
you can do that, and he's like, freaking watch me.
And that's what I'm saying, Like, maybe he says the
most extreme thing, so that a less extreme version of that.
Speaker 1: I don't know why anybody is surprised by this, least
of you. I don't know why you're surprised by this,
because he's done that. He's basically said I'm going to
be the president of the United States. Twice, people shoot him,
people try to do everything they can to keep him
from doing that, and he does it, Like he says
the most unimaginable thing possible and he does it. It's
if there's anybody that is like living in the world
of what is it that? What is it that people
manifest He is the man Oh yeah, he is mega manifes.
Speaker 2: That's who he is.
Speaker 1: If there's anybody that can show you that will is
the personification of manifestation, it is Donald Trump, right, And
so this is what he does. I don't I don't
think he's a dictator, don't think he's an authoritarian. I
don't think he's some sort of oli gark. I just
think he's like, this is what we're gonna do, and
I'm going to figure out a way to make it happen,
and he's going to do it in his own corporate
Donald Trump art of the deal way, and.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm hoping. It's just to me, it's like,
why does he throw red meat at the people who
call him a dictator, an oligarch and authoritarian. We could
just sound exactly like Jade Vance and say we're gonna
we're gonna make some deals because it's important for us
to partner with Greenland because he's.
Speaker 1: Trump and he's always going to be Trump. He's never
gonna change. And you know what, that's why shit gets
done because if there weren't people like him who thought
big and dreamed big and manifested big, nothing would ever
get done. Seriously, nothing big, whatever happened. Thank God for
people like him. And I'm glad that he trolls people,
and those people are woses if they can't handle it. Honestly,
if you can't deal with it, get out of the way,
because a lot of us want stuff to happen. We
got a mandate. We want stuff to happen. If you
can't deal, go cry and you're go crying, you're a.
Speaker 2: Little like on oatmeal or whatever.
Speaker 1: Go cry and go sit by the side, and the
rest of us are going to get stuff done.
Speaker 2: Because do we want this to be like a fifty
first state or a fifty second state? I guess if
we're still on the path to take Canada.
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean that seriously, sure, And you're right, Chris.
We elected him for this exact reason because we're tired
of the same old, same old.
Speaker 2: We're tired of the status quo.
Speaker 1: He is actually getting things done, and I think that
freaks people out, you know, because he's running the country
like a company, like a great ceo. Some of us
are ready for that. Some people are very uncomfortable with it. Well,
get on board. I don't think he.
Speaker 2: Is not a person who is going to go and
take this country militarily, but you will be a person
who makes them an offer that they cannot refuse totally, totally.
So he'll do it with you know, economically, I think
for sure, without question. Yeah, it gives fodder though like
it or not, it gives fodder to the people. See,
he's a dictator. See he said he's going.
Speaker 1: To go in there and take them. I mean they're
gonna they're gonna say what they want to say. People
say what they want to say about us. You cannot
control what other people say about you whatever. But there
are people who get things done and then there are
people who stand by the sidelines. He is a get
things done kind of guy.
Speaker 2: I'd like to say. He sounds so exhausted right right,
because he never sleep right all right. I promised it
was going to be a long show and it is.
Because there was a whole other hearing that took place
yesterday about funding of NPR, PBS, some of these public
broadcasting places that have become so ridiculously far left, and
Tim Burchett, God bless him, We're hoping to get Tim
Burchett on our show because he's just dad gum great guy.
Speaker 1: Love him, Tennessee guy, I love him so great.
Speaker 2: So he actually got the PBS CEO and I can't
remember her name, but he got the PBS CEO to
completely demolish the left's current argument about why funding should
continue for PBS, because what about Sesame Street?
Speaker 1: You guys, here's what about.
Speaker 4: It, Carter.
Speaker 31: Is it true that HBO bought the rights to Sesame Street?
Speaker 32: No, it did not.
Speaker 7: Developed.
Speaker 32: Sesame Street entered an arrangement with HBO for a number
of years it was now arrangement correct, yes, which allowed
us to get the series for free during the period
of that.
Speaker 31: How much money was transacted here?
Speaker 32: I don't know. Sesame Street is a private organization. It
is separate from us.
Speaker 7: That's so inconvenient.
Speaker 2: It's separate. You say so inconvenient. That's so weird.
Speaker 1: Number of the liberals who are like, they kill Beard?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, that's that's the thing, every last bit.
Tim Burchett also asked some questions to Catherine Martin. Now,
she's the NPR lady that used to be at Wikipedia,
and she has been a liberal social justice warrior forever.
And so she got a lot of flak by a
lot of from a lot of different congress people about
previous tweets that she she so terrible things about the
President Trump. She's written crazy, batshit stuff about white supremacy,
et cetera. And Tim Burchett was asking her about some
of those. Here's how she excuses me.
Speaker 31: You said in your opening statement that you were going
to be transformative, and I believe you failed to do that.
Let me ask you, why did you call President Trump
a fascist and a deranged racist sociopathy in twenty twenty.
Speaker 29: Oh, congressman. I appreciate the opportunity to address this. I
regret those things.
Speaker 7: I would not tweet them again today.
Speaker 29: They represented a time where I was reflecting on something
that I believe that the President had said, rather.
Speaker 7: Than who he is. I don't presume that anyone is
a racist.
Speaker 31: Would you don't believe anyone is a racist?
Speaker 7: I don't start by presuming anyone as a racist, sir?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 1: Also right, She's like, I wouldn't say it today because
I really want taxpayer money.
Speaker 2: Crap. He was just like, okay, moving on, yeah, moving up,
and he did move on. He moved on to the
amount of funding that NPR actually gets, and then he
I loved this line of questioning because he started to
ask her the PBS lady, some other people, So, would
you be okay with the same level of funding going
to Newsmax?
Speaker 1: How about us?
Speaker 2: How about us?
Speaker 1: I'll take three hundred million a year? About you?
Speaker 2: You didn't ask that, but here is what they Here's
how they answered.
Speaker 31: We stated that federal funding is essential for MPR to operate,
but also claim only one percent of your funding comes
from the federal government, which is.
Speaker 7: In terms of federal funding, the federal funds go.
Speaker 29: To support our operation of the public radio satellite system,
which enables all of our local stations to be able
to communicate information and broadcasts.
Speaker 31: Stated earlier, man, funding is very fungible. It flows wherever
it needs to. I don't buy that argument.
Speaker 7: We do.
Speaker 16: I wonder if any of the membership.
Speaker 31: Maybe would calm in real quickly. Would you agree that
Real America's voys Newsmax, Fox or News Nation if they
were to see federal thuns, would you all support that?
Speaker 4: Yes or no?
Speaker 31: Misterlemen, yes or no.
Speaker 4: I'd have to get back to you on that, ma'am.
Speaker 32: Okay, I actually don't have an opinion about that.
Speaker 29: Oh really, I don't have an opinion about that, sir.
That would be Congress's decision.
Speaker 1: Thanks right, don't have an opinion, Okay, Absolutely zero role
for public radio anymore. I mean, let's just get real.
I think radio in general, I mean, let's face it,
you and I aren't in radio anymore. I don't know
what you're I'm not going to speak for you, but
for me, I think that it's a dying media. I
do a dying medium. I'm sorry, I really do. I
think that it's going by the wayside. I think that
there's so many other different kinds of media out there
that's better, you know, or that is kind of that
overshadows it. I think that it's kind of like the
landscape is different now.
Speaker 2: It's kind of I don't think it's amazingly to me,
it's not dying I had, but I am more amazed
at its at its it's lasting power.
Speaker 1: Okay, but I think that it's going by the wayside.
I think that national public radio, taxpayer funded public radio,
is like floppy discs. There's no reason for it. There's
I don't why are we Why are we funding that?
There's the reason.
Speaker 2: It's we shouldn't be funding it. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: It's a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party. Obviously we
all know that's what it is. There's no reason we
should be dumping three hundred million dollars a year into it.
It's an absolute waste of money. If you want to
find news or go there's a good jillion places to
find information, you know. Anybody that fights against that just
a lot.
Speaker 2: Of people in our audience that love radio in their cars.
I mean, that's where people listen to the most. That's
it just will not go away. I don't think I
ever go.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's fine, that's what you can make that argument.
But when it comes to NPR, we should not be
funding it like they should be funding themselves like regular
radio stations fund themselves, which is through ads. You know,
they should go out there and get salespeople and have
funding through ads, which is what radio does. And so
let them do that. Let them go out there and
do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially because during this hearing it became very very
obvious how slanted these networks or whatever you want to
call them, have become. Jim Jordan, pointing out just how
many Democrats are on staff versus Republicans and it's pretty shocking.
Speaker 25: In the DC area editorial positions At NPR, he said
he found eighty seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans.
Speaker 9: Is that accurate?
Speaker 7: We do not track the numbers or the voter registration,
but I.
Speaker 25: Find that award winning journalists who worked twenty five years
in NPR. Mister Berlin or was he lying when he
wrote that.
Speaker 29: I am not presuming such. I just don't have We
don't track that information about our journal.
Speaker 25: Eighty seven to zero, and you're not biased.
Speaker 7: I think that is concerning. If those ombers are accurate,
it's concerned.
Speaker 25: I mean, it was it forty four forty three, wasn't
sixty twenty seven, It wasn't seventy seventy, It wasn't even
eighty to seven.
Speaker 4: It was eighty.
Speaker 25: Seven Democrats, zero Republicans. And you say MPR.
Speaker 1: Is not biased, Yeah, it's totally.
Speaker 2: It was a little biased.
Speaker 1: I don't be It's been biased for years. I mean
it's totally. By the way, her voice reminds me of
that chick from the SNL skit, the Schweaty ball skit.
You remember I.
Speaker 2: Do remember, I don't remember the voice.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember they have like.
Speaker 2: That really soft voice that's like this very she does.
I mean she has a good it's a nice voice.
It's an MPR voice.
Speaker 1: That's how everybody on NPR sounds very sleepy and it's
just like this.
Speaker 2: That's how they talk on NPR.
Speaker 1: AM I wrong. If you guys ever listen to MPR,
that's how that's how it is.
Speaker 2: Everybody's madody just about say that.
Speaker 1: Everybody's mad at me about the radio thing. I'm just saying,
like I think it's it's a different it's a different
medium now than it was, say, twenty thirty years ago.
It's different. There's a lot more competition now out there there. Sure,
yeah it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Representative Timmins also wanted to talk about the bias
at these organizations here are right.
Speaker 25: October twenty twenty, New York Post had the Hunter Byden
laptop story, and one of those editors, I guess one
of those eighty seven Democrat editors said this, we don't
want to waste our time on.
Speaker 7: Stories that are not really stories.
Speaker 25: We don't want to waste the listeners and readers times
on stories that are just pure distractions without a pure
distraction story.
Speaker 7: Our current editorial leadership believes that that was a mistake.
Thanks doing it.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the newsroom.
Speaker 26: You have eighty seven registered Democrats, not a single Republican
in your editor words. I mean, how does that work
to give us the perception that you're doing your job
of actually delivering unbiased information.
Speaker 29: I would agree with you that that number is a
concern if it is accurate. I do believe that we
need to have journalists who represent the full breadth of
the American society so that we can report well for
all Americans.
Speaker 1: Okay, they'll fire them all. Are you gonna do that today?
You know, fire age. I know it's like too little,
too late. Lady, you've known about this for years. You
think that Donald Trump is a fascist like and she's
just literally trying to save her as she can get
more money. These people are so disingenuous. Just shut up,
defund it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't need to be paying for this.
Speaker 1: We still need to pay for Let them do what
every other radio station does, and that's hustle. These I
mean people don't make any money in radio. They don't.
We did it. It's like, it's not it's a hard
That's okay, some people do, but my point is it's
a tough gig. It's not like you go into it
because you're like, oh mynah my, got I make tons
and tons of Don't you do it because it's fun
and you have to hustle. And that's what those people
should be doing if they want to actually continue to broadcast,
do what every other radio station in this country does,
and that is dull ads, sell ads, don't rely earn it.
Don't rely on the American taxpayer to pay your salaries,
your overblown salaries. I mean, it's rediculous to me. We
should not be taking no public radio, absolutely not defund it.
Speaker 2: The very best part of that hearing was Brandon Gill.
Brandon Gill had a back and forth with her about
her tweet history that was so delicious. And he's so cute,
you know what I mean, he's so he's able.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Texans, Texans claim him.
Speaker 2: That's one one textan you should claim.
Speaker 7: You've got to but.
Speaker 1: We got to keep him.
Speaker 2: So he goes after her about her tweets. She tries
to bring here's the thing about her, She's one of
those people and I looked at her Twitter account. She's
one of those people that really desperately needs approval from
the rest of the social justice echosphere, right, and so
she'll she'll go so far as to just make up
stuff that she's reading. She wants to appeal, appear really
really well read about social justice issues, but she gets
caught by the likes of Brandon Guilt.
Speaker 4: That America is addicted to white supremacy.
Speaker 29: I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,
I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the
last half decade.
Speaker 4: It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?
Speaker 29: I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't
be able to say.
Speaker 4: Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder
and white democracy?
Speaker 7: I don't believe that, sir.
Speaker 4: You tweeted that is reference to a book you were
reading at the time, apparently The Case for Reparations.
Speaker 7: I don't think I've ever read that book, sir.
Speaker 4: You tweeted, Oh my god, oh my god, you said
you took a day off to fully read The Case
for Reparations in January twenty twenty.
Speaker 29: I apologies. I don't recall that. I did. No doubt
that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall that.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, do.
Speaker 4: You believe that white people inherently feel superior to other races?
Speaker 7: I do not.
Speaker 4: You don't. You tweeted something to that effect. You said,
I grew up feeling superior. How wide of me. Why
did you tweet that?
Speaker 29: I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
to be to grow up in an environment where I
had lots of advantages.
Speaker 4: It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.
Speaker 29: I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I
was just reflecting on my own experience.
Speaker 4: Do you think the white people should pay reparations?
Speaker 7: I have never said that, sir.
Speaker 4: Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.
You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of this, Yes, America, Yes,
our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
on this day.
Speaker 29: I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.
Speaker 4: What kind of reparations was it a reference to.
Speaker 29: I think it was just a reference to the idea
that we all owe much to the people who came
before us.
Speaker 4: That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Okay,
how many? How much reparations have you personally paid?
Speaker 29: Right, sir, I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.
Speaker 1: With the money we get for everybody else.
Speaker 7: I'm not asking anyone.
Speaker 4: Seems to be what you're suggesting. Do you believe that
looting is morally wrong?
Speaker 29: I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to
it as counterproductive. I think it should be prosecuted.
Speaker 4: Do you believe it's morally wrong though?
Speaker 7: Of course?
Speaker 4: Of course, then why did you refer to it as counterproductive?
The very different, very different way to describe it.
Speaker 29: It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as
being be tweeted.
Speaker 4: It's hard to be mad about protests. In reference to
the BLM protests not prioritizing the private property of a
system of oppression, you didn't condemn the looting, you said
that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted a book
called in Defensive Looting. Do you think that that's an
appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 29: I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe
that was at my tweeted that you read that book,
but I don't believe that I did read that.
Speaker 1: She takes a whole day off from her taxpayer funded
job to read a book on reparations and how guilty
she is to be white. And she's like, I don't
remember doing that. Then what you do on your day off?
What'd you do? Did you go to the SPA? What'd
you do?
Speaker 2: She virtue signaled that's all she ever does.
Speaker 1: Glad we paid her to do that.
Speaker 2: Glad that Peter so much fun to watch.
Speaker 1: I cannot stand this woman.
Speaker 2: I can't. Well, then you can add her to the
list right alongside Jasmine Crockett, because she just gets better
and better, you guys. So we talked about her obviously
at length yesterday the whole Governor hot Wheels debacle. Hillary Vaughan,
who is the reporter that is married to Peter Doocey.
It's not Jackie Heinrich. Everybody Jackie. I know they do.
I mean, they do have some similarities. But Hillary Vaughan
chased down Jasmine Crockett in the hallway to try to
get her to apologize for her comments about Governor hot
wheels because, of course, as we said, yesterday, she released
this non apology statement saying I was talking about planes,
trains and automobiles and migrants, not his condition, which.
Speaker 1: Doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 2: Everyone knows is a lie.
Speaker 12: Everyone.
Speaker 2: So here's Hillary trying to chase her and Jasmine just
not having it.
Speaker 23: Put, you didn't apologize?
Speaker 33: Would I apologize when I put out all.
Speaker 6: Get in a wheelchair? I don't know how.
Speaker 19: I don't understand me, right, But why won't you apologize?
Speaker 10: Put?
Speaker 2: I did read it?
Speaker 7: Did not then apology?
Speaker 1: Okay, Well you don't feel bad, and I was making
fun of someone.
Speaker 2: I'm done is okay? I'm done with you? She said,
over and over. This isn't going to go away, because
now there's receipts. Now, there's receipts of her liking several
comments on social media of other people calling him governor
hot wheels. So if she's trying to excuse us, like
she all of a sudden in the moment came up
with governor hot wheels to describe migrants, she's in a
wheel chair calling her governor hot wheels. Here's just an
example so you can see her little heart there. This
person said, I'm just so happy and amazed to see
how far you're going. Like from Frank Crowley to CNN,
I love it. Who knew this is what was in store?
Keep making Governor hot wheels mad. Thanks for caring about
us Texans. You are really on fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's she's the worst. You guys know, this is
this is all an act. It's just an act. She's
this is a private school kid. She grew up with affluence.
She grew up going to a private school. She went
to a private school in Saint Louis. Tuition's like one
of the most expensive ones around. Yeah, fifteen grand a year.
I mean it's like she grew up a fluent right,
So I look at this. She has a law degree
from the University of Houston. The thing that she's I
used to think she was the same as AOC. They
are complete opposites, but kind of in the same camp.
I think that Crockett is actually smart. I think she's smart,
but she acts stupid and ghetto. AOC acts smart, but
she's really stupid, honestly, And so I think this is
an like she's such an embarrassment to black women because
because I think in general, the black people, Yeah, because
I think she really is pretty smart. She's educated, she's smart,
and then she dumbs herself down when she gets on
a stage and she does all the the acting that
she's doing. It's all a freaking act, and I think
it's ridiculous that she does that, and she does it
to get votes and to try to get I don't well,
she's all for clout right, and it's gross. It's really
kind of gross what she's doing, whereas AOC is like,
I'm so smart, you're not. She doesn't know what a
garbage disposal is, to know how plants grow, you know
what I mean. So it's it's really interesting the dichotomy
that's going on here between like the two different kind
of women that are Democrats that's happening here. But she's
I don't think she's stupid. I don't think she's exactly
what she's doing.
Speaker 2: She's definitely lying about this whole thing. And that's why
I thought it was so funny. I just grabbed this
little clip of her that I thought was describing herself perfectly.
I love this.
Speaker 33: Only losers feel like they have to lie. There's just
the bottom line, like, losers.
Speaker 1: Lie, okay, right, yes they do.
Speaker 2: And I guess later on in the day. It seemed
now that she was getting, you know, pestered enough by
the media and others, that she got assigned capitol policeman
to be at her side in the hallway. So you
can see him in between her and the reporter. I
can't if he's looking like I wish I could let
you talk to her, but I can't.
Speaker 1: Right, I really don't want to have to defend this. Yeah,
I really don't want to.
Speaker 2: And then another clip that surfaced from that human rights
campaign speech that she gave was her trying to promote
her Christianity, which was wrench hilarious.
Speaker 33: If any of you follow me, then you know that
my dad is a preacher, and you'll know that I
truly am a Christian, not the fate Christians that we
hear about, but like I'm a real one, right and
and with that, I truly believe that God has ordered
my steps. I can tell you that I don't believe
that I stand here by accident, but I stand here
on purpose. I stand here on the purpose that God
has ridden over my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christians don't make fun of dudes in wheelchairs and
believe in abortion on demand. They don't do that. I definitely.
Do you know what Preacher's daughters, y'all know what I'm
talking about. They're sometimes the worst.
Speaker 2: I wonder what Daddy thinks about.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 6: CJ.
Speaker 2: Pearson, who we take a little bit of credit for
his rise because we actually interviewed him on the radio
when he was twelve and I'm not saying that to exaggerate. Now,
he was actually twelve years old and I think we
were one of his first main interviews and that and
now look at him. Go man, he is all over
the plan. He's a man. He's gone through a huge transformation.
I know we kind of fell out a favor with
him because he went on this Bernie Sanders tear for
a while, like not a conservative, then he was a
Bernie Sanders follower, and then he came back home. He
came back. Yeah, he did servatism. And now rightly he
is mortified by Jack Asband Crockett with a Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 6: TJ.
Speaker 4: Pearson here a behalf of the black community.
Speaker 21: Can you do me a favor?
Speaker 6: Can you shut the hell up?
Speaker 23: I'm seriously, I'm really asking can you shut the hell up?
Because every single time you open up your mouth, you
set black people back at least ten thousands at least.
Speaker 1: And he went on and he had some points.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just got a little shrill. And I has
been long and.
Speaker 1: I was, but he was right.
Speaker 2: He's absolutely right.
Speaker 1: She's not doing any favors for black people right now.
Speaker 2: She's at like I said yesterday, she's invoking every negative
stereotype and why. I mean, that's okay democrat doing it.
There was no one more hilarious about her yesterday than
Greg Guttfeld and Kennedy. I died over both of them.
Check this clip out.
Speaker 30: Jasmine Crockett claimed her hot wheels remark about Governor Abbott
wasn't about his wheelchair. Yeah, and when we call her
a lousy hoe, we're referring to her skills as a gardener.
Speaker 29: Really great.
Speaker 30: Do you how long is she going to keep this
thing that she wasn't talking about the wheelchair?
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, babe, you know you're full up and
all that, Jasmin.
Speaker 34: I think what happened was as he was like, you guys,
I need to triangulate and be serious now because I'm
going to be a senator, So someone has to be
talking attention whore?
Speaker 2: Who is it gonna be?
Speaker 34: And jazz. We raised her hand and goes, excuse me,
Congresswoman Cortes, I speak jibs.
Speaker 2: Did not see that yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's so great, so great, because it isn't to you, guys.
Speaker 2: It is such an act to anybody. Can't see that.
Speaker 1: I cannot help you. I can't. Oh like she grew
up in the suburbs. I mean, guy, she she probably
wore a uniformed school. It was like that, all girls
Catholic school.
Speaker 2: Come on. Glorious, glorious, absolutely glorious. All right, so thank
yous from yesterday. Remember how confused I was about Curtis
Woods's Venmo messages. I could not make heads or tails
of them yesterday, And God bless him, he wrote again,
sent more Venmos to explain himself. He did so. He said,
the reference to that poor twin was to the Daylight
Savings time bit that we did with Matt executive producer Matt.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 2: He was talking. Now, Curtis, if that was a reference
to that poor twin, you know, we haven't talked about
that in like weeks, and you're gonna remember, right.
Speaker 1: You have to realize that our brains don't think that way.
Speaker 2: They don't work like that anymore because of the men
of pause. That's right, that's right, and he said the
counter frame is the twenty second countdown to the beginning
of the show.
Speaker 1: Sorry for the confusion, he said, thank you, Curtis. It's
so sweet of you to do that, to explain and
then give us more money.
Speaker 2: That's very sweet. No, and he wasn't done. He sent
another message saying, my apologies, mock. I remember seeing your
mini stroke happen, but I didn't remember the date it happened.
I've been told that I have a very dry sense
of humor.
Speaker 1: It's a good dry it's good. Great, we love that. Yeah,
thank you, Curtis, Thank you.
Speaker 2: And then today on Venmo, Adam Knowle said, sorry, I'm behind,
but I just watched yesterday's show. Can Jesus please come
flip over Trump's spiritual advisor's table and make her go away?
That Adam is bearable, right.
Speaker 1: Not a fan?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she's awful. Teresa Chacone says, p is,
it's vasto pressed in an anti jerretic hormone. Interesting. I
work seven nights in an er, sleeping during the day,
then I'm off for seven days sleeping at night, and
I never pee the bed. When I do get to
the restroom, I pee like a racehorse. It's so fascinating
to me, Like that is somebody knows that you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1: And what we talk about on the show.
Speaker 2: These are the things that we have about PE.
Speaker 1: We talk about Peak.
Speaker 2: On locals Minnesota, Solar Baby says, and Walls couldn't even
load his gun. Thank god, Walls didn't become VP, right,
Oh my god, dodged all the bullets, every last one
of them. The two tailors said, Daisy, I'm with you
on Greenland and Trump's position, but I'm also with my
tinfoil hat on thinking if you worried that someone else
is going to take Greenland?
Speaker 1: Okay, so like there's an ulterior motive, there is what
you're thinking.
Speaker 2: And maybe he's even taking like a defensive posture on
behalf of Greenland.
Speaker 1: Right, So we're there may be something we don't know,
which is fine with me. I'm cool with you. You
got to do Trump right.
Speaker 2: BECA t in South Carolina says NPR needs to go away.
It used to be informative, but it's just liberal propaganda now.
I agree. One hundred and ten percent, Daisy, I listen
to serious XM. I wonder how many people under thirty
five can even tell you what NPR is or where
to find it to listen.
Speaker 1: Or how many people under thirty five listen to the
radio at all, because I can tell you that like
my kids, my millennial kids, they all listen to podcasts
and just the internet stuff and serious XM and stuff
like that. So I you know, I don't listen. I
love radio, we used to do it. But I'm just
saying I think that the new generations are starting to
veer towards other media. That's all. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Judy Fled said, wanted to put in that I'm not
watching Fox today.
Speaker 1: Lol.
Speaker 2: However, I am a p k. I'm a pe k,
and I had a teacher say something similar to me
about Preacher's kids. Oh Preacher's kid, Yes, okay. I ask
him how he knew all that information was? He won?
He got upset. What I asked him? How he knew
all that information was? He won? I don't know, he
got upset. I don't exactly understand.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry. It could be menopause brain.
Speaker 2: Minnesota Solar Baby says, but would mock laugh like the Chinese.
Ou did the Chinese laugh. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I had no idea they have a special laugh.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Dolly Duck says regarding the traveling in
Texas some years ago, we had an international exchange student
from Germany stay with my daughter. She wanted to go
to DC, and I had to break the news to
her that it is not exactly a quick weekend excursion.
Love y'all, Oh my gosh, now you okay?
Speaker 1: All right, the photo and the story. I was enjoying
the winning in mid January to March. Right now Trump
administration seems to be running into a wall. I don't
want the left back and power. It's not going to happen.
It's fine.
Speaker 2: It's just everybody's got to stay engaged, stay exact, pick up.
It's just bad. Got Presler sounding the alarm bells because
there was a state election that was won in Pennsylvania
yesterday by a Democrat in a county that Trump won
by fifteen points. And there's a special election happening. And
I think in Wisconsin that if we don't win it,
they are going to read district and we're going to
lose two House seats. So if you are in one
of these states that is having special elections, you better
get Voote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we need to do We definitely need to
stay engaged. I mean, there's no question about that. But
I think that the administry from an administration standpoint, I
think that was.
Speaker 2: Just a hiccup at least perfect.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Andrew Viola, it's about getting Trump's cabinet to resign. Yes,
I totally agree they want everybody to resign. I'm not
believing that's what they're saying. The Great gats be so
upset about the leak. Now the Hohothy know that we
use jets in our air strikes and we have big bombs.
Speaker 2: I think they probably knew that. They probably did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sperio twenty three women are attracted to Tate only
see dollar signs then don't like his level of kink.
Thinking I can change him. Yeah, there's probably that might be. Yeah,
the dollar signs and oh I can make him better, different,
he'll be different with me. No, he won't be.
Speaker 2: No, and he's disgusting.
Speaker 1: Right BTK women and the bad guy to change them
get punched out.
Speaker 2: I don't understand it. I know you guys, it's disgusting.
He is a piece of garbage. He is total garbage.
Avatar Ashkenazi. Congratulations to Andrew Taate for finishing with Flying
Colors basic romantic relationship course by the Taliban. Wtf is
wrong with this clown?
Speaker 1: There's a lot. Yeah, he is he is Islamic, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, he is a Muslim.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm just gonna leave it there and move on.
Donkey Cody and Venmo. If an account is public, you
can see every transaction it makes and with whom, not
the amount, but the names, dates and memo lines. Yeah,
I don't That's one thing I don't really like either.
It's really weird.
Speaker 2: It's super weird. Private you can like, how do people
you can still be paid? I'm assuming you just nobody
can see it? Okay, I don't know how to.
Speaker 1: And he was all sorts of public. So yeah, Carrie
twenty three. Trump has raised the bar to what a
president means.
Speaker 2: It's true. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they hold us to an entirely different standard,
and they always will.
Speaker 2: Because we know will ever work is hard no one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Republicans are here and Democrats are here, and
they have a very low bar we have a high
bar sucks, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2: Oign term.
Speaker 1: AOC is the politician I would vote most likely to
introduce the Brondo for plants. Bill She is as smart
as a box of hair. Jessamine Crockett is the box
of hair. Now take my money. I still think that
Jasmine Crockett is way smarter than her. She's just acting stupid,
you guys. She's trying. She's got a plan and it's
working on a lot of stupid people. She takes advantage
of stupid people. Giles Chester, I love you, lady for
your honesty.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Brian Bromley, Barbara Billingsley spoke Jive and airplane better than
Jazzy such.
Speaker 2: A great, great joke by Kennedy movie. Also, just really quickly,
can I just say that I got a coin and
a Christmas ornament from Beverly Lafleur and I just so
appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Beverly, thank you very and again. Let me see can

it was a struggle.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be on.
Speaker 2: She's gonna have two trees.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make crab two trees, you guys.
Speaker 2: I think I will because of course I have the
Chicks tree, so I always already have two.
