• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Three intense stories and a goofy Christmas story. How about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that on the docket today. Can't decide what the headlines
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: are going to be, but they are here a crazy
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: We'll get into this in a second crazy update on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that United Healthcare CEO shooting, which is on its own
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: crazy enough yesterday in midtown Manhattan. But boy, what we
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: just learned just a couple of hours ago is even nuttier.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: This is nice to see though, so the uh again,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I told you they were all like intense stories to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: lead it off today, Pete Heggsyth, Trump's pick for Secretary
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of Defense not backing down one iota and it's already
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: having an effect. Boy was this nice to see? And
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is something that would have happened
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: even a few years ago. But they have this mandate
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we've all talked about for the American people from all
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of us, you know, pulling Trump over the finish line,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: get him in there again. America is ready to fight
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: back against this kind of stuff. At Pete Hegseyth, who's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: been in the public eye now for over ten years
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on TV. None of these allegations against him, none of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: them came out until what he was a threat to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the Democrats to have a very very influential job in
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Department Offense, and they've decided to go after him.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Most importantly, he's like the tip of the arrow, the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: one they want to pick off. It's a reason for
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that too. Daniel Penny trial. Also when New York is happening,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the jury has the case. Apparently they've asked some questions
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: about this. This is turning out to be one of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the most important cases, I swear to yet I don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: think it's hyperbole in American history. The entire country is
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: watching this, and it's not just about Daniel Penny's life.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's about all of us as far and it really is.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It comes down to this. It comes down to are
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: these lunatic prosecutors in certain cities and certain districts going
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to protect American people, law buying citizens or the bad guys.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: It's that simple. Who are you going to protect law
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: buying citizens or you're going to favor the bad guys.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We have a quote from the prosecutor, the lady who's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in charge, who will determine once she gets it in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: out of the hands of the jury, the life of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Daniel Penny. How he's gonna how he's going to serve
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: out the rest of his life. Will you hear this
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: quote from her, and you'll completely understand why this is
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: such a scary thing. And we'll wrap it up with
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm making an executive decision. I'm gonna start to impart
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: some words of wisdom, whether or not you want an
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: unsolicited life advice from being I gotta call wicked wisdom.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's because this is the perfect time to do it
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: during the holidays. Kind of a communication kind of thing.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: But it's about self gifting. I was happy to see
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this too. More and more people feel no guild whatsoever
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: about getting themselves something during the holiday season. I'll tell
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you why that's a great thing. All right, let's kick
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it off, all right. This crazy story yesterday that happened,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I think it was right after we got off the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: pod yesterday, got off the live stream with the United
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Healthcare CEO. The guy's only fifty was only fifty by
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the way, Brian Thompson shot in midtown Manhattan. This did
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: hit a little bit close to home to me because
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I was just there, you know, I was telling you
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I I was in New York with my wife and family,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving right in that area. My wife wanted to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: watch the Thanksgiving the Macy's parading where we picked it off.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Where we picked it to watch this thing, because you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: don't want to be like right in front of Macy's.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It's like insane. So we were under some scaffolding right
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: around fifty second Street, right near where this thing happened.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So it was in front of a Hilton hotel, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: know exactly where it was. And the guy was assassinated
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: by a shooter. I mean right there broad daylight. It
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: was early in the morning, but it happened right there.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: This was the update from the NYPD commissioner. Her name
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is Jessica Tish. This is what she said.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I want to be clear at this time, every indication
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is that this was a premeditated, pre planned, targeted attack.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Millions of people will be enjoying the tree lighting tonight
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: among other holiday events, and the NYPD will be out
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: there with them keeping them safe.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Well that's the concern, right the concern for any buddy,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you know, in a situation. If it didn't happen in
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: New York, if it happened in your neck of the woods,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in your city, you wonder the same thing. You're like, God,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I hope this wasn't random. It has and that's such
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a sad thing, but our minds always go to it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Right You're like, Okay, well that's tragic and horrible, But secondly,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I hope this just wasn't some random attack because then
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you got like a joker situation on the streets. But
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: look to everybody like it was definitely targeted. And then
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you start to wonder, and we all become like private
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: investigators because we've all seen these cases on TV before,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: maybe nothing this extreme, but you start to wonder. You're like, well,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: maybe it was like maybe it was like a disgruntled
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: either ex employee or somebody that knew them, but kinda
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: kind of seems to be personal. Yeah, with the update
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that came out this morning, just a couple of hours ago,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: get this now confirmed in the well because it's New
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: York and the media sources got a hold of this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: first from their sources inside the NYPD. Get this. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: bullet casings found on the ground that are now evidence
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: had written on them. Check this out written on the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: bullet casings Depose, deny, and defend. Whew. Yeah, I'd say
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that's personal Okay, that's a personal message from somebody that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to take this guy out, and the shooters still
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: at large. I really didn't think that was possible, especially
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in a city like New York, to have somebody on
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the run on the lamb, as they'd say, for that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: amount of time. But he is. It is like a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars reward or something else like this. But man, boy,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is that crazy. I don't know what we're gonna find,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and we may not. I'm just warning now we may
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: not get the full story and what exactly happened here,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: because you're talking about a very prominent corporate CEO who
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: was assassinated on a street. They definitely don't want copycat crimes,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: so there's a possibility we may not get all of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the details of one in what went on behind this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: They'll find the guy and they'll find out a little
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: bit of his background, but the full motive we may
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: never hear. I'm just I just prepare yourself for that now,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: because they don't want copycat crimes. They don't want anybody
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that's so pissed off at greedy corporations taking out more
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: executives in his Apparently his wife had said that he
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: had gotten online threats before. They don't know whether it
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: was from the shooter or not. If that had happened
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and you're a corporate CEO, wouldn't you have some protection?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I think I would. I think I would hire some
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: extra I mean, the guy is, it's United Healthcare. It's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a massive organization. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: kind of assumed they had corporate security protection. Anyway. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: don't know. We're all learning about this thing. But depose, deny,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and defend written on the bullets.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the biggest understatement of all time, that that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: was personal. WHOA all right? Also in New York and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: not to make this all about New York City, but
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: can't determine where the headlines come from. That's where they're
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: coming from. Today jury deliberations resumed. I don't know, probably
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: right about now. Live in New York City for the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: very very important Daniel Penny trial. You remember we were
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: just talking about this the other day day before yesterday.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: This is the former marine. He was in New York City.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: He had just come from working out the why's on
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a subway train happens to sit there, packed car and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a lunatic takes off his jacket and drugged out out
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of his mind and was threatening and getting in the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: face of and saying he was going to kill everybody
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: on the subway car. So Daniel Penny got up, citizen
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: hero put the guy in a choke hold. The guy dies.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Toxicology reports already determined that he didn't die from the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: choke hold. He died from everything else that was in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: his system. The guy was a complete drug addict. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Daniel Penny's on trial right now for murder and the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: jury has his life in their hands. The update on
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: this is apparently it's taken a while. It's in the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: second day of the Liberations are going into it now
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: because they had some questions about this, so maybe that's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: an indication of reut I don't know. This is what
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I know. The entire country is watching this case. It's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: one I don't think it's hyperbole. Like I said in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the introduction, I really truly don't I believe this. I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: think this is one of the most important cases in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: American history for society, not even the legal aspect of it,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: for the rest of us, because we're all watching these
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: lunatic and I mean lunatic, neo Marxist prosecutors that have
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: been inserted into a lot of these cities. Definitely New York,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Chicago's got them. LA is bad too. Even in some
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of the smaller counties and towns throughout America, they are
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: there there. It comes down to this. I really think
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it's this simple of a question. I really, truly, truly
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: believe this. Are are we going to allow the legal
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: system in this country to protect law abiding citizens like
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you and me? Or are they going to protect the bad,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: dangerous people. Well, you can't over I've had people say
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that to me. You can't oversimplify it like that. That hell,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I can't be talking about of course I can. That's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: e exactly what this is. Well, when it comes to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: legal affairs, I'm certainly no lawyer. Maybe you are, but
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I always go to Alan Dershowitz because he's not afraid
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to tell you the truth. But he's certainly certainly not conservative,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: which is why I think he has a lot of credibility.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: This is what he says about this case. Listen, it's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: pretty wild. Actually listened to Alan Dershowitz for a long time.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: This may be one of the strongest statements I've ever
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: heard him say. Most of his ire is directed at
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg, right, the prosecutor, the DA in Manhattan. This
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is what Allen said.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is a case that never should have been brought.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: This is a case that would never have been brought
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: had the alleged victim not been black.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: This is a case which was brought as the result
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: of protests on the street.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Not a fair.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Application of the law. And I believe that ethics committees
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: should be looking into District Attorney Bragg relating to his
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: decision to bring this case, his decision to bring the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Trump case. He has become a danger to the rule
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: of law.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And in there, didn't he say it? Didn't excuse me? Didn't
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: he say it? Just like we tried to But I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: was a long winded kind of way of saying it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Elean Dershowitz said it perfectly. What's on trial here is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the future of her society. What are we going to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: allow as people as a society. This is why there's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: so much focus on this. Obviously, it's tragic, and you
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: don't want this to happen to Daniel Penny, and you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: hope that this jury has enough common sense to realize
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that the guy should not spend a day behind bars.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: We need more Daniel Pennies, not less. But it's more
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: than that, isn't it. What are we going to allow
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: as a society. We're gonna stop sleep walking and allow
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: lunatic prosecutors and das to be inserted into these communities,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: big cities like that, big city. If that can happen
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to Daniel Penny, I will guarantee you that can happen
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to you, me or anybody else that decides to step
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: up and protect their fellow citizens. Because what's the end result.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You're in New York or Chicago or Boston or La whatever,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and you see something like this happening. What's the first
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: thing that's going to run through your mind? If this
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is allowed to go through and that guy is going
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to jail for murder, what's the first thing you're thinking, Oh,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I want to help that lady who's being robbed. Oh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to go to jail myself. You
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: can't have that. You can't. That's where the fabric of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: society falls apart. And that's why this case is so important.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: We can't. We have to get rid of these lunatic prosecutors.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: They're crazy. Their sense of right and wrong is completely twisted.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And they will have you and me and everybody else.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's a law buying citizen dead if they have their choice,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: because they will, they will, they will prefer, and they
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: will cater to the bad people in society. Well, that's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: over simplistic, Bill, It's a lot more than that. No,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: it's not bullshit, it's not. It is that simple. It
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: is that simple. And we've gotten into this situation because
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: we talked ourselves out of the simplicity of the situation.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They favor bad people instead of favoring good people, law
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: buying citizens and it's that frickin' easy, and they'll twist
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the law as much as they want to to protect
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the bad people. Well you don't know that for sure,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Oh I don't. Let's go to a quote earlier on
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a I don't know. It might have been a live
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: stream interview, podcast, whatever. Here's the actual here's the lady
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in charge right now of handing down the sentence and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: going after and presenting the case against Daniel Penny, citizen hero.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Here she is. Her name is Daphna Urane Dafna Uran.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: She is the assistant Manhattan, DA, and so they gave
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: her the case to prosecute Daniel Penny citizen hero. Okay,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: now she's talking about in this interview a case from
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that started in twenty eighteen. A bad guy, a lunatic
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: robbed an old man who was in his late sixties
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I think might have been seventies at an ATM. Old
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: guy dies. So they were going to bring up the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: bad guy on murder charges. Well, yeah, Dafna Uran reduced
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the charges because she saw an opportunity and I'm quoting
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: here for a transformative outcome. No, you know what. Let's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: he had a tough background. Here's her quote explaining that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: entire situation. Here she is again again keep in mind,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: this is the person in charge of prosecuting Daniel Pennick.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: The more I learned about the defendant and his life
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: and the circumstances, the kinds of things that Jarrelle was
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: talking about that one should take into account, the trauma
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: of that individual, I really felt incredibly sorry for him
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: that he had gotten to that point in his life
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: where he felt like there was no other choice but
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: to commit this robbery.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: There was no other choice, no other choice but to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: commit a robbery that led to the death of an
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: old guy in an atm who was just there living
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: his life, trying to get some money out of a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: cash machine. He had no other choice. There are millions
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: of people every single day that I would guarantee you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: have a worse background, upbringing and life than that murderer
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: who had choice. They decided not to get somebody killed.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: That's what they did. End result, by the way, because
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: she because Dafner Uran saw a here's the quote, opportunity
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: for a transformative outcome. The guy that murdered the old
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: guy at the atm got ten years ten years. Yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Did you consider the background of the family that lost
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: their loved one, their dad, their granddad? Did you consider that? No,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: they never do. And I'll say it again, these people
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: are lunatics. They are completely twisted. They will get you
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: killed ahead of the bad people because they had a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: tough background.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Hugh.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: This needs to stop. And this is why this Daniel
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Penny trial is so important. Really, what's on trial here, technically,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: by the letter of the law, is Daniel Penny. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: let's hope that he is able to live his life
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and the jury comes to a common sense decision here
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: what's on trial are these crazy, insane leftist prosecutors who
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I will tell you I'm still convinced that they are.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: There is a there is a determination here to tear
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: apart at the fabric of all society again. And I've
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: gotten in trouble for saying this. People argue with me
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: all the time. It is that simple, Yes, it is
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that symbol. They want to defend and almost honor the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: bad people, the violent people in society, and favor them,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: give them favor, work for them. Even as a prosecutor
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: over law buying citizens like you and me. She's on trial.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: That prosecutor is on trial, Alvin Bragg is on trial.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: All of these the law society's on trial on this thing.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: That's why this Daniel pennycase is so important. We're watching
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: if this guy goes, if this guy spends a day
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in jail, I'm telling you it has to We're all
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: going to have to say enough is enough. You can
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: hope the administration gets it done, but what's going to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: happen is ordinary citizens. Because we've been busy living our
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: lives right, being good people, trying to be productive members
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of society. We haven't had time like what Alan Jershowitz
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was talking about there riding on the streets demanding that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: people like Jordan Neely, the guy the lunatic on the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: subway train who wound up dying because of his drug abuse,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: not the choke hold. They rallied in the streets because
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: they have time to do it, apparently, to stand up
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: for his rights. Well, we're gonna have to start standing
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: up for the rights of ordinary Americans and demanding that
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: lunatic prosecutors like that get get exited because it's just
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it's terrible. We're watching, We're watching New York. We're watching
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Daniel Penny, I hope, so we'll see, all right, here's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: another fight that's going on here, and it's good to see. Actually,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Pete Hegsith not backing down. He of course the two
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: two Ivy League degree holder. He is the combat veteran
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: TV host, he's an author and now, of course, as
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you well know, by now, more people know him than ever.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Trump's picked for head of the Department of Defense, the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense. Well, now, all of a sudden, because
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: he's the pick and he's a threat to the Democrats,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: all of the dirt's coming out about poor Pete they're
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: all coming after him. Now, Well, here's what's something. Here's
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: something that's different that I don't think we would have
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: seen even in twenty sixteen. In fact, if I remember correctly,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I think we actually saw this when they started going
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: after Trump's picks. They started to pick him off and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: they would back down. What's a different game. Now, Yeah,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the mac Gates thing was one thing, and he did
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: back off, but I think that was a different plan.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: But Pete Heggsath not backing down one bit, which is
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: nice to see. And he's got the support of Trump,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: which he talks about a little bit right here. He
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: did a little impromptu press conference after some of these
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: meetings yesterday, and this is what Pete Heggsath's food. Donald
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Trump asked me to do. Your job is to bring
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a war fighting ethos back to the Pentagon with Your
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: job is to make sure that it's lethality, lethality, lethality,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: everything else is gone. Everything else that distracts from that
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be happening. That's the message I'm hearing from senators
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: in that advising consent process that it's been a wonderful process,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: good love it. Not backing down fighting back, you'll go
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: down fighting. I love that. That's what you need. And
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: isn't that the kind of person you need heading up
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the Department of Defense to be honest with you? I think? So,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: see what happens. I think he's got more support now
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: because he didn't back down. Love it. Let's see. Oh,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: by the way, Trump going on this was interesting. This
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: was announced yesterday. I think it's gonna air this weekend,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I think. But Trump is sitting down with Kristen Welker
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: from NBC, the media outlet that brought all these baseless
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: allegations and unnamed sources against Pete Hegsath. Why would that happen?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: If you always use that technique where you personalize it,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: don't take it personally, but personalize it. If somebody had
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: come out with baseless allegations against let's say one of
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: your friends, would you sit down and talk with him,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: because I don't think I would. Trump's a different animal.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I think he wants to do this to go on
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: full attack mode. And let's face it, he doesn't mind
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the camera time to directly go after NBC for what
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: they're what they're alleging against Pete Hegxath. I don't know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: surprising move. I don't know why he would do it,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but I think maybe that's why. I don't know. We'll
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: see how that. We'll see how that turns out. All right,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of heady, hefty headlines today.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Let's lighten it up a little bit with this one.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Liice to see and there. This is the time of
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the year where we get all the goofy holiday story's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: coming out, right. You know, I love my, you know
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I love my. Sociological survey survey said forty two percent
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of us, I don't know who they asked, forty two
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: percent of us will buy Christmas gifts for ourselves this year.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: No.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I have been tracking this because I'm fascinated by this.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: The number goes up every single year. And again, this
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is about the time a few weeks before Christmas when
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: they come up with stories like this where people don't
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: care anymore and they say, yep, this is for me,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: this one's for you. Got your Christmas that well, I'm
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: buying this for me. And this is coming right after
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Cyber Monday, right, which was the biggest in history. I'm
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: glad to see this happen. That's up from thirty eight
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: percent when the same poll was done just a year ago. Good.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Now you may see this as selfish, I don't at all.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And again I'm gonna give you some wicked wisdom on
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: this unsolicited life advice that you didn't ask for, but
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you everyway, because let's face it, who's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: gonna stop me. Don't ever feel guilty about getting something
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: for yourself ever, ever, ever, Christmas time, summertime, whatever it is.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: If you find something that, if it's for you parents especially,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you get it for yourself because that's what you're gonna
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: tell yourself. And if you're starting to feel that little
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: twinge of guilt just a little bit, this is what
