- 0:59Speaker 2: And ladies and gentlemen, look who is now making his
- 1:05Speaker 2: way to the world-famous octagon, flagged by UFC CEO Dana White, 45,
- 1:10Speaker 2: soon to be 47, President-elect Donald Trump. I wish the
- 1:18Speaker 2: people at home could hear the sound in this room.
- 1:23Speaker 3: It's so loud in here.
- 1:24Speaker 4: It is so loud.
- 1:27Speaker 1: That was Donald Trump entering Madison square garden for the
- 1:31Speaker 1: UFC fight Saturday night. And he was alongside Elon Musk,
- 1:35Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, Don Jr.
- 1:36Speaker 5: Tulsi Gabbard.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Dan and my parents were there as well. Everyone said
- 1:41Speaker 1: it was absolutely electric. And really for the first time ever,
- 1:45Speaker 1: I think we can say that it's cooler to be
- 1:49Speaker 1: on the right than it is on the left. The
- 1:51Speaker 1: aura surrounding this incoming admin is incredible. Here is Jon
- 1:56Speaker 1: Jones after he won the fight doing the Trump dance
- 1:59Speaker 1: and then starting a USA chant.
- 2:05Speaker 6: Hey, what do you guys think about my version of
- 2:06Speaker 6: the Donald Trump? Check it out. USA!
- 2:13Speaker 5: USA!
- 2:13Speaker 6: Let's go!
- 2:14Speaker 1: USA!
- 2:14Speaker 6: USA!
- 2:15Speaker 1: USA!
- 2:15Speaker 6: USA! That's what I like. I'm proud.
- 2:24Speaker 7: I'm proud to be a great American champion.
- 2:27Speaker 8: I'm proud to be a Christian American champion.
- 2:34Speaker 1: So then John Jones gave Trump his UFC championship belt,
- 2:38Speaker 1: which was also an incredible moment.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Take a look.
- 2:44Speaker 9: It is all about John Jones sharing the belt there
- 2:47Speaker 9: with the president-elect Donald Trump.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Woo!
- 2:52Speaker 9: Americans largely historically have realized the most success in the
- 2:58Speaker 9: UFC and the greatest American fighter of all time is
- 3:02Speaker 9: that man, Jon Bones Jones, now successful in the first
- 3:05Speaker 9: effects of his heavyweight title. Bud Light, the official beer
- 3:08Speaker 9: sponsor of UFC, easy to celebrate, easy to enjoy, and celebrating.
- 3:13Speaker 3: They are indeed.
- 3:14Speaker 1: It's like Jon Jones' victory was Trump's victory. We're all
- 3:20Speaker 1: in an incredible moment together at this time. You have
- 3:26Speaker 1: NFL players also doing the Trump dance.
- 3:29Speaker 5: Think about it.
- 3:29Speaker 1: The NFL, this was a group that was having BLM
- 3:34Speaker 1: written across the field and kneeling down for the American
- 3:38Speaker 1: flag during the national anthem.
- 3:42Speaker 5: There is a shift happening.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Cernovich wrote on X UFC as a political cultural center
- 3:48Speaker 1: is symbolic of a return to warrior energy and magic.
- 3:52Speaker 1: And it really does feel that way, like the start
- 3:55Speaker 1: of a new era with a new set of ethos.
- 3:58Speaker 1: CNN can feel it too. Here's a panelist likening Trump
- 4:02Speaker 1: to Caesar and the UFC to the Coliseum.
- 4:04Speaker 7: And it really looks like ancient Rome here. This is
- 4:08Speaker 7: sort of the conquering Republican Caesar who's going into the
- 4:11Speaker 7: Coliseum and everyone's cheering and he's got his political gladiators
- 4:15Speaker 7: with him. That appearance isn't just about him enjoying the applause.
- 4:20Speaker 7: He's sending a message to the Senate.
- 4:22Speaker 6: For sure.
- 4:22Speaker 7: Like, not only are you entertained, but these are my
- 4:25Speaker 7: people and are you willing to fight because.
- 4:27Speaker 5: Here's who I have.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And of course, CNN meant that little soundbite and that
- 4:33Speaker 1: characterization of Trump and his team to be pejorative.
- 4:37Speaker 5: But it's actually pretty base.
- 4:38Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 4:38Speaker 5: I listened to that. I was like, yeah, that's exactly
- 4:41Speaker 5: what it's like. And it's awesome.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Somebody aptly wrote on X, the freak out you're seeing
- 4:46Speaker 1: from the left has far less to do with Trump
- 4:49Speaker 1: and far more to do with realizing they're losing their
- 4:52Speaker 1: long monopoly on cool. And I think that's exactly right.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Like I said, there's a shift in the zeitgeist. There's
- 5:00Speaker 1: been a softness about the last several years in America,
- 5:03Speaker 1: safe spaces, pronouns, exercise, literally being deemed white supremacist. food
- 5:10Speaker 1: that's poisoning the populace. And suddenly there's a revolt. And
- 5:15Speaker 1: the center of American culture is the UFC, a fight sport.
- 5:21Speaker 1: And it's befitting that Donald Trump, the right-wing and right-wing politics,
- 5:25Speaker 1: is now closely associated with the UFC. Trump fought everyone
- 5:30Speaker 1: during this last campaign, the government, the media, the left,
- 5:32Speaker 1: the Republican Party itself.
- 5:35Speaker 5: He almost died, but survived.
- 5:38Speaker 1: A bullet as he put his fist in the air shouting, fight.
- 5:42Speaker 1: There is a cultural desire for discipline, for strength, for
- 5:47Speaker 1: masculine energy, and Trump embodies this moment. Now, after the
- 5:53Speaker 1: UFC fight, Don Jr. posted a photo of him, Trump, Elon,
- 5:57Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, and RFK Jr., eating McDonald's with the caption,
- 6:04Speaker 1: Make America Healthy Again starts tomorrow in all caps. And
- 6:08Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, Mikey, can we maybe
- 6:10Speaker 1: zoom in on RFK Jr.
- 6:12Speaker 5: 's face here?
- 6:13Speaker 1: Because he low-key looks like a hostage victim in this photo.
- 6:16Speaker 1: The cringe on his face as he's holding that Big Mac,
- 6:19Speaker 1: it's pretty hilarious.
- 6:21Speaker 5: Now, something that RFK Jr.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Has consistently said about McDonald's, about fast food in general,
- 6:29Speaker 1: is that it's not that fries are bad. It's not
- 6:32Speaker 1: that burgers are bad. It's that the ingredients.
- 6:37Speaker 5: Are harmful.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Fries are fine when they're fried in beef tallow, as
- 6:41Speaker 1: they always were. Burgers are fine if the bread isn't
- 6:43Speaker 1: packed with preservatives and sugar and dyes. Ketchup is fine
- 6:47Speaker 1: without sugars and dyes and corn syrup. Yeah, thank you, Mikey.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I want you guys to look at this graphic of ketchup,
- 6:54Speaker 1: Sunny D, Mountain Dew, and Doritos in the UK versus
- 6:58Speaker 1: the US. Now, neither, of course, is probably good for you,
- 7:02Speaker 1: but the U.S. version has way more harmful ingredients.
- 7:06Speaker 5: So in response to RFK Jr.
- 7:08Speaker 1: And his criticisms of the ingredients in American food, the
- 7:12Speaker 1: New York Times published a report specifically fact-checking RFK Jr.
- 7:17Speaker 1: 's claim that Froot Loops, using different ingredients in their U.S.
- 7:21Speaker 1: products versus Canadian products, is actually making Americans sicker.
- 7:26Speaker 5: And I'm going to read to you guys out loud
- 7:28Speaker 5: this fact check, and I want you to comment.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Tell me what you notice here. It's an incredible fact
- 7:35Speaker 1: check from the New York Times.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Quote, Mr.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of
- 7:41Speaker 1: a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the
- 7:44Speaker 1: Canadian version has fewer than the U.S.
- 7:46Speaker 5: Version. But he was wrong.
- 7:48Speaker 1: The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada's has
- 7:52Speaker 1: natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots, while the U.S.
- 7:55Speaker 1: product contains red dye 40, yellow 5, and blue 1,
- 8:00Speaker 1: as well as BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used.
- 8:04Speaker 5: For freshness, according to the ingredient label. Do you guys,
- 8:09Speaker 5: where's the fact check?
- 8:11Speaker 1: They literally just proved his point that the ingredients are different.
- 8:16Speaker 5: Are they nuts? What kind of fact check is that?
- 8:20Speaker 5: They literally proved his.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Point that the ingredients are different in Canada Fruit Loops
- 8:25Speaker 1: versus American Fruit Loops and that the American.
- 8:28Speaker 5: Fruit Loops are worse for you. Which one?
- 8:32Speaker 1: Oh, the mostly the same only, it's mostly the same
- 8:35Speaker 1: only different. Yeah, it's the stupidest, stupidest.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Fact check I've ever heard.
- 8:41Speaker 1: And can I just say that all of these accusations
- 8:45Speaker 1: that RFK Jr. is anti-science, Fall on deaf ears for me.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Because all the people who are saying that RFK Jr.
- 8:52Speaker 1: is anti-science are the same people who supported bills requiring
- 8:56Speaker 1: tampons in the boys' bathroom.
- 8:58Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking at you, Tim Walz. The world is
- 9:01Speaker 5: sick of this insanity.
- 9:02Speaker 1: And speaking of this left-wing insanity, Senator Mike Lee tweeted yesterday.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Quote, I recently spoke with the father of a U.S.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Air Force Academy cadet, and he told me that the
- 9:13Speaker 1: Air Force Academy's official forms referred to him, the cadet's father,
- 9:17Speaker 1: as the cadet's non-birthing parent, and to his wife, the
- 9:21Speaker 1: cadet's mother, as the cadet's non-birthing parent. And Pete Hexeth,
- 9:28Speaker 1: Trump's new Secretary of Defense, responded, quote, not for long,
- 9:35Speaker 1: meaning he He is going to de-wokify the military. He
- 9:39Speaker 1: is going to purge it of this insanity and make
- 9:42Speaker 1: us some more united and lethal armed forces. Now, of course,
- 9:47Speaker 1: Hex's mandate to de-wokify the military has sent the left
- 9:50Speaker 1: into absolute hysterics. Here is ABC fretting that ending DEI
- 9:56Speaker 1: and firing woke generals will actually politicize the military.
- 10:00Speaker 5: Not that the military was already politicized.
- 10:01Speaker 1: No, getting rid of race Marxism in the military will
- 10:05Speaker 1: politicize the military.
- 10:06Speaker 5: Take a listen.
- 10:07Speaker 10: I don't think you have to interpret anything. I think
- 10:09Speaker 10: they've been very clear that they're putting together some sort
- 10:12Speaker 10: of panel that's going to look at generals, people who
- 10:15Speaker 10: have served their nation their entire lives over multiple administrations,
- 10:19Speaker 10: Democrat and Republican, in combat. They are now openly talking
- 10:23Speaker 10: about dismissing them like some sort of kangaroo court. You
- 10:27Speaker 10: can imagine the stress in the Pentagon about that.
- 10:30Speaker 5: But also on the future of who we are as
- 10:32Speaker 5: a military, right?
- 10:33Speaker 10: Our military and the role of the military is in
- 10:35Speaker 10: the Constitution for a reason, and I think we're really
- 10:38Speaker 10: at risk of politicizing the military in a way that
- 10:41Speaker 10: we can't put the genie back in the bottle.
- 10:46Speaker 5: Is she insane? Michael says yes.
- 10:50Speaker 1: The left has politicized the military by inserting race Marxism,
- 10:57Speaker 1: by inserting DEI, and gender politics. There's a reason recruitment
- 11:02Speaker 1: is down. The military spends money on ads targeting lesbian
- 11:07Speaker 1: women instead of military-aged males. Literally, there was an ad saying,
- 11:12Speaker 1: we want more lesbian women to join the military.
- 11:15Speaker 5: Do you guys remember that from last year? Drop a
- 11:16Speaker 5: comment if you remember. It was a crazy ad.
- 11:19Speaker 1: They mandated an experimental jab on enlisted soldiers that sparked
- 11:25Speaker 1: a mass exodus. They've labeled pro-lifers, domestic terrorists, and prime
- 11:31Speaker 1: soldiers to view them as national security threats. The military
- 11:35Speaker 1: is already politicized. And all they've done is sow division
- 11:39Speaker 1: with all this DEI crap.
- 11:42Speaker 5: Who would want to join now?
- 11:43Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I don't want my brothers to join or
- 11:45Speaker 1: my husband to join. But Pete Hegseth is going to
- 11:48Speaker 1: fix that. Now, since Trump won, I've been saying the
- 11:53Speaker 1: biggest obstacle to his agenda is including the confirmations of
- 11:57Speaker 1: his cabinet picks, is going to be Republicans, not necessarily
- 12:02Speaker 1: the Democrats. And to that point, something very strange happened
- 12:06Speaker 1: last night.
- 12:07Speaker 5: A DC-based New Yorker reporter.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Tweeted that Mitch McConnell said in a message to the
- 12:13Speaker 1: Trump team that there would be, quote, no recess appointments.
- 12:18Speaker 1: And he said this, of course, during a Washington DC event.
- 12:22Speaker 1: And recess appointments is when the president fills out his
- 12:25Speaker 1: administration while the Senate is in recess. But after this
- 12:29Speaker 1: report went out, and if you're looking on your screen
- 12:32Speaker 1: right now, you'll see that it says that this post
- 12:33Speaker 1: has been deleted. After the report went out, the woman
- 12:35Speaker 1: deleted her tweet about McConnell.
- 12:38Speaker 7: Why?
- 12:40Speaker 1: There has reportedly been no retractions or corrections listed on
- 12:43Speaker 1: her account, but she still deleted it. Somebody told her
- 12:47Speaker 1: she had to, a higher-up, I don't know. Either way,
- 12:51Speaker 1: it's obvious we can't trust Mitch McConnell or the other senators.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And it's going to be up to us as constituents
- 12:58Speaker 1: to hold our senators accountable to get these appointees confirmed.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Speaking of Trump's new appointees, The Atlantic ran an article titled,
- 13:09Speaker 1: Why the Gates Announcement is Already Destroying the Government. And
- 13:12Speaker 1: then incredibly, the subheading to this article reads, With his
- 13:15Speaker 1: cabinet picks, Donald Trump is causing a civil service exodus.
- 13:19Speaker 1: that may hobble federal infrastructure for generations. And this is
- 13:23Speaker 1: hilarious because that sounds awesome.
- 13:25Speaker 5: It's exactly what we need.
- 13:27Speaker 1: An accurate headline would read, why the Gates announcement is
- 13:30Speaker 1: already saving America or something like that. And Federalist Editor-in-Chief
- 13:35Speaker 1: Molly Hemingway articulates this point really beautifully on Fox.
- 13:39Speaker 5: Take a listen.
- 13:43Speaker 6: But now they're seeing it. Oh.
- 13:45Speaker 11: How are we seeing it?
- 13:46Speaker 5: He's not president yet.
- 13:48Speaker 6: I mean, are you.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Let's do the Molly Hemingway one, Mikey.
- 13:52Speaker 5: Do we have that one? Okay.
- 13:54Speaker 1: No worries.
- 13:55Speaker 5: She does illustrate the point very beautifully.
- 13:57Speaker 1: And she pushes back against all the people who are
- 14:01Speaker 1: essentially smearing Matt Gaetz as an outsider.
- 14:05Speaker 5: When an outsider... is.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Exactly what we need for our broken DOJ. It's exactly
- 14:11Speaker 1: what we need for every one of these government positions.
- 14:13Speaker 1: We need good, solid, moral, America-first outsiders who are going
- 14:18Speaker 1: to clean house. That's what Trump's really represented this entire time.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Trump is a man who was never part of politics.
- 14:26Speaker 1: He was not a politician. We have that clip, Mikey?
- 14:29Speaker 5: All right, let's play it.
- 14:30Speaker 11: Matt Gaetz was nominated for this position because we have
- 14:32Speaker 11: a problem with the Department of Justice. For the last
- 14:34Speaker 11: eight years, they have run roughshod over rule of law
- 14:37Speaker 11: in this country. They have prosecuted political opponents. They ran
- 14:41Speaker 11: the Russia collusion hoax. And too many people in Washington, D.C.,
- 14:44Speaker 11: did not stand up against what was happening there. And
- 14:47Speaker 11: many Americans are upset about it. Matt Gaetz is one
- 14:49Speaker 11: of the most effective people at fighting that Russia collusion
- 14:52Speaker 11: hoax and other information operations. whether it was the Brett
- 14:55Speaker 11: Kavanaugh information operation, the Donald Trump Russia collusion hoax information operation,
- 15:00Speaker 11: or the one that is referenced here, which is something
- 15:02Speaker 11: that the FBI and Department of Justice, which hate Matt Gaetz,
- 15:05Speaker 11: looked into and cleared him of any wrongdoing.
- 15:08Speaker 5: The idea that.
- 15:09Speaker 11: This is about... The issue is corruption. It's the Department
- 15:13Speaker 11: of Justice's corruption. And people are sick and tired of
- 15:15Speaker 11: people in Washington, D.C., doing nothing as these people tried
- 15:19Speaker 11: to destroy the country and getting upset at someone who
- 15:21Speaker 11: actually might root out the corruption there. We don't have
- 15:24Speaker 11: a Department of Justice. We have a Department of Injustice.
- 15:27Speaker 11: And that's why you get Matt Gaetz as a nominee.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Department of Injustice. It's a great line. And Molly Hemingway
- 15:35Speaker 1: is great. She's my former boss. She's badass.
- 15:37Speaker 5: I love her.
- 15:38Speaker 1: And really beautifully articulated exactly what we're dealing with. and
- 15:42Speaker 1: why all of these accusations against Matt Gaetz and every
- 15:45Speaker 1: one of these appointees should fall on deaf ears. Nobody
- 15:50Speaker 1: who's already there is qualified to be there because they're
- 15:52Speaker 1: running this federal government into the ground. I guess not
- 15:55Speaker 1: running into the ground. They're enriching themselves. They're growing the
- 15:58Speaker 1: bureaucracy while disempowering, defrauding, and abusing the American people. So
- 16:05Speaker 1: obviously the Hitler accusations did not work with Trump.
- 16:09Speaker 5: And while some.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Democrats have decided to be introspective, like AOC, who famously
- 16:13Speaker 1: took the pronouns out of her bio last week, other
- 16:16Speaker 1: Democrats have been a little more stubborn with their rhetoric.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Here is Democrat Representative Jim Clyburn talking about how Trump
- 16:25Speaker 1: is still Hitler on Fox.
- 16:27Speaker 6: But now they are seeing it. How are we seeing it?
- 16:31Speaker 5: He's not president yet. I mean, are you visiting another Hitler?
- 16:35Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying?
- 16:37Speaker 6: That's exactly what I'm saying. I said the 1930s in Germany. Yes,
- 16:40Speaker 6: you did. And, of course, we can go to Mussolini
- 16:45Speaker 6: in Italy.
- 16:48Speaker 1: I guess bad habits die hard. Meanwhile, here's Russia hoaxer
- 16:53Speaker 1: John Brennan telling Jen Psaki that Tulsi Gabbard, is a
- 16:56Speaker 1: Putin sympathizer.
- 16:58Speaker 5: Take a listen.
- 16:59Speaker 4: So let me just start with Tulsi Gabbard because you
- 17:01Speaker 4: served as the CIA director for four years. What would
- 17:05Speaker 4: having her in charge or in the role of director
- 17:07Speaker 4: of national intelligence mean for the intelligence apparatus of the U.S.
- 17:12Speaker 6: Government? I think there's so much uncertainty about what Ms.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Gabbard would bring to the job. As you pointed out,
- 17:17Speaker 3: she has been an apologist for Vladimir Putin, Bashar Assad.
- 17:22Speaker 1: It's so incredible to me that these bad actors who
- 17:27Speaker 1: tried to stage an internal insurrection, stage a coup against
- 17:31Speaker 1: President Trump, would have the audacity to go on national
- 17:34Speaker 1: television and smear Tulsi Gabbard as a threat to national security?
- 17:39Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
- 17:41Speaker 1: All of them are threats. I mean, first of all,
- 17:43Speaker 1: they should be in jail. They should be in prison
- 17:46Speaker 1: for what they did in 2016. but that they're not
- 17:50Speaker 1: and still have the gall to show up on television
- 17:53Speaker 1: and lecture the American people and fearmonger about Trump's appointees
- 17:56Speaker 1: is outrageous. And I want to show you guys a
- 17:59Speaker 1: photo of Jen Psaki on a trip to Russia in
- 18:03Speaker 1: 2014 when she was the spokesperson for the State Department
- 18:06Speaker 1: at the time.
- 18:06Speaker 5: And if you're listening, Jen Psaki is wearing a pink.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Ushanka hat, very traditional Russian hat, with a hammer and
- 18:15Speaker 1: sickle on the front. And So yes, Jen Psaki, Tulsi
- 18:21Speaker 1: Gabbard is the Russian suit here as you're wearing the
- 18:23Speaker 1: Russian hat with the hammer and sickle on it. But
- 18:27Speaker 1: do I actually think that Jen Psaki is a Russian
- 18:30Speaker 1: sympathizer or an asset?
- 18:32Speaker 5: No, because she's wearing this hat. No, I do not.
- 18:35Speaker 1: But just like I don't think that Jen Psaki is
- 18:38Speaker 1: a Russian sympathizer because she's wearing this weird hat, I
- 18:42Speaker 1: don't think that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset. These
- 18:46Speaker 1: accusations are so silly and they're so tired. Can they
- 18:50Speaker 1: pick a different smear for Trump and everybody associated with him?
- 18:54Speaker 1: And by the way, Bernie Sanders tweeted in 2019. This
- 18:57Speaker 1: is actually something he tweeted. Tulsi Gabbard has put her
- 19:01Speaker 1: life on the line to defend this country. People can
- 19:03Speaker 1: disagree on issues, but it is outrageous for anyone to
- 19:06Speaker 1: suggest that Tulsi is a foreign asset. That was Bernie
- 19:10Speaker 1: Sanders in 2019. Now, of course, Bernie would never tweet
- 19:13Speaker 1: that out today. But these people have no integrity. They'll
- 19:16Speaker 1: defend Tulsi when she's on their side in their camp,
- 19:20Speaker 1: and then they'll smear her as a threat to national
- 19:23Speaker 1: security the second that she's no longer.
- 19:25Speaker 5: Useful to them.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Now, speaking of Russia, President Biden has authorized the first
- 19:30Speaker 1: use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia.
- 19:38Speaker 1: And this is a huge deal because Putin has said
- 19:43Speaker 1: explicitly that if Biden does this, Russia is at war
- 19:47Speaker 1: with America. He said America is is a legitimate target
- 19:51Speaker 1: of Russia because Putin views this as an act of
- 19:55Speaker 1: war on behalf of the United States. So in other words,
- 19:58Speaker 1: the deep state is literally egging on World War III
- 20:02Speaker 1: before Trump even takes office. And the American people voted
- 20:07Speaker 1: to end the war. by supporting Trump, or at the
- 20:10Speaker 1: very least, stop the United States from funding the bloodshed.
- 20:14Speaker 1: And that's why this is criminal. It flies in the
- 20:17Speaker 1: face of what the American people mandated when they voted
- 20:22Speaker 1: for President Trump. I want you to listen to Ukrainian
- 20:25Speaker 1: President Zelensky promptly threatening Russia after the Biden admin announcement.
- 20:32Speaker 12: The plan to strengthen Ukraine is the victory plan, which
- 20:35Speaker 12: I presented to our partners. One of its key points
- 20:38Speaker 12: is his long-range capabilities for our army. Today, there's a
- 20:42Speaker 12: lot of talk in the media about us receiving permission
- 20:45Speaker 12: for respective actions. But strikes are not carried out with words.
- 20:50Speaker 12: Such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves.
- 20:54Speaker 12: They certainly will.
- 20:57Speaker 1: The Trump admin cannot start soon enough. We have literal
- 21:01Speaker 1: psychopaths running this government right now and emboldening someone like Zelensky,
- 21:06Speaker 1: whose people are suffering and dying. The Ukrainian people don't
- 21:09Speaker 1: want this war to continue. They are sending disabled and
- 21:14Speaker 1: elderly people to the front lines because everybody else is dead.
- 21:18Speaker 5: This has to end.
- 21:19Speaker 1: And a man who really cares about the people would
- 21:23Speaker 1: end it, would stop the suffering. At this point, it's
- 21:26Speaker 1: gone too far. A guy who cares about the people
- 21:30Speaker 1: wouldn't suspend elections, but that's exactly what Zelensky is doing.
- 21:32Speaker 1: I'm not sure what democracy we're defending in Ukraine because
- 21:35Speaker 1: it's essentially a dictatorship.
- 21:37Speaker 5: With this little weird man fueling war and sending his
- 21:42Speaker 5: people to die. Switching gears here.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Do you guys remember when Kamala Harris said this on
- 21:49Speaker 1: the campaign trail?
- 21:50Speaker 8: That the climate crisis is real, that it is an
- 21:54Speaker 8: urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include
- 21:57Speaker 8: holding ourselves to deadlines around time.
- 22:03Speaker 1: So despite being a climate change fearmonger, Kamala Harris reportedly
- 22:08Speaker 1: burned through $ 2. 6 million on private jet travel in the
- 22:12Speaker 1: final dying gasps of her presidential run. And by the
- 22:16Speaker 1: end of her campaign, she spent a staggering $ 12 million
- 22:19Speaker 1: on private jet rides. She is, of course, a fraud
- 22:24Speaker 1: on climate, on a lot of things, but including climate.
- 22:27Speaker 5: And she's wildly irresponsible with money.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Remember how I told you guys that Kamala Harris paid
- 22:32Speaker 1: Oprah's production company a million dollars to do that town hall?
- 22:36Speaker 5: I apologize, you guys. I got it wrong.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Fact-checking the Bongina Report early edition here. It was actually $ 2. 5 million.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Kamala burned through $ 1. 5 billion in 15 weeks.
- 22:55Speaker 5: This was a wildly, wildly irresponsible campaign.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Alex Berenson says on X, if this is how badly
- 23:03Speaker 1: they spent their own money, imagine how they would spend yours.
- 23:08Speaker 5: And I can't even imagine it.
- 23:12Speaker 1: We dodged a bullet. Let's just say that we dodged
- 23:15Speaker 1: a bullet. Speaking of inefficiency, the Pentagon failed its seventh
- 23:20Speaker 1: audit in a row. So the largest government agency is
- 23:23Speaker 1: unable to fully account for its budget of over $ 824 billion.
- 23:29Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Seven audits failed and there's no punishment, no accountability,
- 23:36Speaker 1: No answers. Candace Owens tweeted, Pentagon employees should face the
- 23:41Speaker 1: same exact criminal charges that Americans face when they hide
- 23:44Speaker 1: or lie about money that is due to the government.
- 23:46Speaker 1: It should be an automatic jail sentence if.
- 23:48Speaker 5: They fail an audit. And I totally agree with that.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Now, back in 2022, Jon Stewart interviewed Deputy Secretary of
- 23:56Speaker 1: Defense Kathleen Hicks. And I want you to listen to
- 23:58Speaker 1: how Hicks responds when questioned about waste and fraud in
- 24:03Speaker 1: the DOD.
- 24:05Speaker 3: To be doing, like there is a lot of waste, fraud,
- 24:06Speaker 3: and abuse within a system.
- 24:08Speaker 13: Audits and waste, fraud, and abuse are not the same thing,
- 24:11Speaker 13: so let's.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Decompose these pieces for a moment. Then please educate me
- 24:14Speaker 3: on what the difference is.
- 24:15Speaker 13: Sure, so an audit is exactly what you just described,
- 24:17Speaker 13: which is do I know what was delivered to which place?
- 24:20Speaker 3: Right.
- 24:21Speaker 13: The ability to pass an audit or the fact that
- 24:24Speaker 13: the DOD has not passed an audit is not suggestive
- 24:26Speaker 13: of waste, fraud, and abuse.
- 24:28Speaker 5: That is completely.
- 24:29Speaker 3: False right there.
- 24:30Speaker 13: So now it's a question of, it's suggestive that we
- 24:35Speaker 13: don't have an accurate inventory that we can pull up
- 24:38Speaker 13: of what we have where. That is not the same
- 24:43Speaker 13: as saying we can't do that because waste, fraud, and
- 24:45Speaker 13: abuse has occurred.
- 24:47Speaker 3: So in my world, that's waste.
- 24:51Speaker 5: How is that waste?
- 24:53Speaker 14: If I give you a billion dollars and you can't
- 24:55Speaker 14: tell me what happened to it, that to me is wasteful.
- 24:58Speaker 14: That means you are not responsible. But if you can't
- 25:02Speaker 14: tell me where it went, then what am I supposed
- 25:05Speaker 14: to think? And when there has been reporting, I mean,
- 25:08Speaker 14: this is not, look, I'm not saying this is on
- 25:11Speaker 14: you and that you caused this, but I think it's
- 25:15Speaker 14: a tough argument to make that an $ 850 billion budget
- 25:21Speaker 14: to an organization that can't pass an audit and tell
- 25:25Speaker 14: you where that money went Like, I think most people
- 25:29Speaker 14: would consider that somewhere in the realm of waste, fraud,
- 25:32Speaker 14: or abuse.
- 25:35Speaker 1: The smugness about that woman. And I promise you guys,
- 25:38Speaker 1: if you listen to the whole thing, it gets worse.
- 25:41Speaker 1: We have a short amount of time on this show.
- 25:42Speaker 1: I can't play it all.
- 25:44Speaker 5: It's unbelievable.
- 25:46Speaker 1: She's laughing condescendingly at us peasants who would dare ask
- 25:51Speaker 1: where the money we give them is going.
- 25:53Speaker 5: It is an outrage.
- 25:55Speaker 1: And that is the sentiment of everybody in Washington right now.
- 26:00Speaker 1: That's when I say we need a clean house. We
- 26:03Speaker 1: need to have people from the outside come in. That's
- 26:05Speaker 1: exactly why I believe that. Because these entrenched individuals, they
- 26:11Speaker 1: aren't beholden to the people. They laugh in Jon Stewart's
- 26:14Speaker 1: face when he dares ask questions about the money we
- 26:18Speaker 1: give them and where it's going and why it's unaccounted for.
- 26:23Speaker 5: Again, an outrage.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Now, Elon Musk has already said that DOGE, the Department
- 26:28Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency, will be on this issue with the DOD,
- 26:32Speaker 1: which I think is wonderful. And we also learned that
- 26:35Speaker 1: Elon and Vivek plan to host weekly live streams to
- 26:39Speaker 1: provide updates on the Department of Government Efficiency's progress, which
- 26:42Speaker 1: I also think is an excellent idea.
- 26:45Speaker 5: Keep the public informed. Keep them up to date. I
- 26:48Speaker 5: love it.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Now, one theory is that the unaccounted for funds from
- 26:52Speaker 1: the Pentagon are going toward Secret UFO programs, which by
- 26:58Speaker 1: the way, we did learn last week that the DOD
- 26:59Speaker 1: has accounted for 757 reports of UAPs between May 2023
- 27:06Speaker 1: and June 2024. But I think blaming the audit failure
- 27:09Speaker 1: on aliens is giving the DOD a little too much credit.
- 27:12Speaker 1: What we're dealing with is incompetence and corruption. And we're
- 27:16Speaker 1: finally going to have accountability. Now, a lot of people
- 27:19Speaker 1: right now are trying to make sense of the moment
- 27:22Speaker 1: that we're in. And what has sparked it? And I
- 27:25Speaker 1: want to share with you one kind of funny theory
- 27:28Speaker 1: that's floating around the internet right now.
- 27:30Speaker 5: In the summer.
- 27:31Speaker 1: Of 2022, America was still suffering from the post-George Floyd
- 27:35Speaker 1: DEI mandates. Trump was in the thick of the lawfare.
- 27:39Speaker 1: By August, the feds had raided Mar-a-Lago. COVID tyranny was
- 27:43Speaker 1: still prevalent in much of America.
- 27:45Speaker 5: And then this happened. If you're listening... I'm talking about
- 27:53Speaker 5: Top Gun Maverick.
- 27:54Speaker 1: The sequel to the hit 80s film with Tom Cruise.
- 28:01Speaker 1: And Joshua Reiner writes on X, I remember watching Top Gun.
- 28:07Speaker 5: And being filled with verve.
- 28:09Speaker 1: For the first time in a long time, I felt
- 28:12Speaker 1: the hell yeah energy. There's something about the 80s that
- 28:16Speaker 1: we needed, that we've brought forward with us. A reinvigoration
- 28:20Speaker 1: of the Faustian spirit. Man could reach the stars and beyond.
- 28:24Speaker 1: It coincided perfectly with Elon Musk buying Twitter as an
- 28:27Speaker 1: overall inflection point. In the midst of It's Over, we
- 28:31Speaker 1: found there was, within us, an invincible We're So Back.
- 28:37Speaker 1: And it's true that Top Gun Maverick was an anti-woke film,
- 28:42Speaker 1: and it bucked the trend of the preachy diversity cast
- 28:46Speaker 1: with the progressive messaging. And instead, it showcased a white
- 28:50Speaker 1: male protagonist championing traditional heroism like we really, again, have
- 28:57Speaker 1: not seen since the 80s. And I'm not sure that
- 28:59Speaker 1: Top Gun can be credited with changing the cultural tide,
- 29:02Speaker 1: but it certainly was a great indicator of what was coming.
- 29:06Speaker 1: In 2022, The Woman King was also released, a film
- 29:10Speaker 1: that features an all-black cast and tells the story of
- 29:13Speaker 1: an elite group of female warriors. The woman king grossed
- 29:17Speaker 1: around $ 95 million worldwide, while Top Gun grossed over $ 1. 5 billion.
- 29:24Speaker 1: The West en masse is rejecting the oppression of the left.
- 29:29Speaker 5: And why wouldn't we?
- 29:31Speaker 1: Joel Berry of the Babylon Bee tweeted yesterday, In 2024,
- 29:34Speaker 1: environmentalism is right-wing.
- 29:36Speaker 5: Health is right-wing. Science is right-wing. Family is right-wing. Populism
- 29:41Speaker 5: is right-wing.
- 29:42Speaker 1: The left raged against God and his world so hard,
- 29:46Speaker 1: they ceded every issue to the right. And while the
- 29:50Speaker 1: new right movement embraces everything from the past that made
- 29:53Speaker 1: us a great nation, we also have to recognize that
- 29:56Speaker 1: we're indeed new.
- 29:58Speaker 5: We are the new right. Our coalition is different.
- 30:01Speaker 1: And Peter Thiel articulated this point really well in an
- 30:04Speaker 1: interview with Barry Weiss.
- 30:06Speaker 5: Take a listen.
- 30:07Speaker 15: And, you know, one of the other metaphors I've used
- 30:10Speaker 15: is that, you know, the left, the Democratic Party, it's
- 30:15Speaker 15: like the empire. They're all imperial stormtroopers. And, you know,
- 30:20Speaker 15: we're the ragtag rebel alliance. And it is a It's
- 30:24Speaker 15: a uncomfortably diverse, heterogeneous group. And you have, you know,
- 30:29Speaker 15: I don't know, a teenage Chewbacca and Princess Leia type character.
- 30:34Speaker 15: And then we have, you know, we have a autistic
- 30:37Speaker 15: C-3PO policy wonk person. And it is a, you know,
- 30:42Speaker 15: it's a ragtag rebel alliance against the empire.
- 30:48Speaker 1: We are a populist and diverse movement. And that is
- 30:51Speaker 1: a strength. My only caution is that Barry's right when
- 30:57Speaker 1: he says that the left raged against God and they failed.
- 31:02Speaker 1: And we don't want to go down that path. It's
- 31:04Speaker 1: not enough to merely admire and long for the aspects
- 31:08Speaker 1: of the past that made us great. It's not enough
- 31:12Speaker 1: to just have the warrior spirit.
- 31:15Speaker 5: Embodied by Trump and the UFC.
- 31:17Speaker 1: We also have to embrace the foundational values that inspired
- 31:21Speaker 1: what made the past so great, values that are rooted
- 31:23Speaker 1: in Christianity. Caleb is correct that we are a disparate,
- 31:27Speaker 1: unconventional group, a rebel alliance, and that is necessary in
- 31:32Speaker 1: this moment. But to all the Christians in this movement,
- 31:35Speaker 1: we should not abandon our values just because not every
- 31:39Speaker 1: fellow foot soldier shares them.
- 31:42Speaker 5: They are essential.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Our values are essential if we really want to be
- 31:46Speaker 1: authentically successful. And if we can do that, I have
- 31:50Speaker 1: a lot of hope for the future. Yes, we are
- 31:53Speaker 1: a group of misfits, but there is a spirit and
- 31:55Speaker 1: a passion behind this movement that is inspiring and it
- 31:59Speaker 1: is revolutionary. And that is all that I have for
- 32:01Speaker 1: you guys today. If you're listening on Apple or Spotify,
