  Speaker 1: stabs civilians to death. The feds paid for Lincoln Riley's

  Speaker 1: murderer to fly from New York City to Atlanta. DOJ

  Speaker 1: of Matt Gaetz. Katie Couric tells Jen Psaki that Kamala
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was an awful candidate. Democrats slam Morning Joe hosts for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: meeting privately with President Trump. The View labels Trump supporters

  Speaker 1: uneducated bigots. And Jon Stewart admits the election was a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: referendum on the permanent state. All this on Bongina Report,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: early edition. So Trump has selected his new transportation secretary,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: former representative Sean Duffy, who also happens to be my dad.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And I am incredibly proud of him. He has promised
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to fully eliminate DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: He wants to ensure a new golden age of travel
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: comes to fruition with President Trump. So it's just very,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: very exciting news.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: News.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Now, something that you all should know about my dad
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is he is a fierce Trump loyalist. Here's a little
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: flashback to when he was in Congress defending President Trump.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: What did Donald Trump do that should impeach him? Bob
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Mueller said, I'm not going to refer any charges to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the Congress. He could have star-referred 11 charges to the Congress.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So Mueller didn't refer any, and you're going to impeach
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: him for what crime? What did he do wrong that
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: you should impeach him for? He's ruined the economy. He's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: put my people back to work in Wisconsin. They have
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: higher wages, lower unemployment. We're killing it in Wisconsin. You
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: want to impeach that guy? Okay, Congressman, first of all,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: those are distinct things, as you.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Would concede, obviously. Now, of course, predictably, the media is
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: labeling my dad unqualified, just some Fox News host, former
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: reality TV star, Brian Stelter wrote on X. Another Fox
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: News hire by President-elect Trump, says Sean Duffy, who joined
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Fox as a contributor in 2020 and currently hosts a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: 6 p.m. Fox business show, The Bottom Line, is his
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: pick for transportation secretary. Here is CNN's Caitlin Collins with
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a very similar sentiment.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Breaking tonight, another Fox News host has been tapped for
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Trump's cabinet. What we know about Trump's latest pick, also
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: a former reality show star.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: That's next.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So they're just completely omitting the fact that my dad
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was a member of Congress for eight years, former prosecutor.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And the unqualified accusations are pretty funny considering who the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: current D.O.T.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Is.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Pete Buttigieg, who previous whose previous qualifications included being the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: woke mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Here is Mayor Pete
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: saying that roads are racist.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: If an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: mostly black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach, or
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it would have been, in New York was designed too
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: low for it to pass by, that that obviously reflects
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: racism that went into those design choices. I don't think
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: we have anything to lose by confronting that simple reality.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And I think we have everything to gain by acknowledging
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it and then dealing with it, which is why the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: reconnecting communities, that billion dollars, is something we want to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: get to work right away.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You will not hear that from Department of Transportation Secretary
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Sean Duffy. Roads are not racist. They are not racist.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's not just that he inserted a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: lot of DEI into a department that had zero, none
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of the departments have any for DEI, but certainly not transportation.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: It's also that Mayor Pete had some serious scandals. There
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: are still roads closed following Hurricane Helene. Where is Mayor Pete?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And who can forget the East Palestine disaster that he
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: didn't even visit until 20 days later. 20 days. Can
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you guys believe that? I'm still in shock by that story.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And even after one week, there were calls from Mayor
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Pete to show up to East Palestine to actually make
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the appearance that he was doing something to fix this problem.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: He didn't even show up. What was he doing? If
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not fixing this massive crisis that we had from the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: train derailment, what else was Mayor Pete doing with his time?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I can promise you that Sean Duffy would have been
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: there right away. By the way, there will be no
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: chest feeding with Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. So
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that is a plus. By the way, this photo is Photoshopped,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but it's still very funny. And I'm positive that my
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: dad is going to do an incredible job. I'm incredibly
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: proud of him. I think this is great for America.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: He is so excited to be a part of this
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Trump admin, this admin of gladiators who are going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: put America first, finally, after years of putting America last.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And he wants to build up American infrastructure. When Trump called,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: my daddy said that this is an agency that he
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: really genuinely cares about and even suggested that if not president,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he would love to head the DOT himself because Trump
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: is a builder. This is his specialty. This is Trump's
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: area of expertise. So I'm really excited to see what
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Trump's DOT is able to accomplish with my dad's help.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: something that I'm also going to be talking about a lot.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: This is just my little daughter, two cents to my dad,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: but we need beauty back in America. We need beauty
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: with our roads and our trains, not just that they're
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: built efficient, but that they're built in a way that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't kill the human spirit. So many of today's infrastructure
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: projects are built around cars. They're built around modes of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: transportation instead of people. And I would love to see
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a focus on making beauty a consideration when we are
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: moving into these projects because it uplifts people. People need that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I think we've had a lot of really sprawling, ugly
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: infrastructure projects in the recent decades. So something, my two cents.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: We'll see if he takes my advice. We're going to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: take a quick break, but when we come back, we're
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: going to discuss a major controversy that is brewing in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in the House of Representatives that is pretty fascinating. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: stay tuned.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: The U.S.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: House of Representatives is set to include its first transgender-identifying
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: man on January 3rd with the swearing-in of Representative-elect Sarah McBride.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And to be clear, we're talking about a man who
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: cosplays as a woman joining Congress. And in response, Representative
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Nancy Mace has introduced a bill banning men from using
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: female bathrooms inside the Capitol building. Under the bill, which
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Mace is hoping to attach to the new House Rules
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: package that will be voted on next year, the House
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Sergeant-at-Arms would be required to enforce the new rule. Very
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: base legislation. I wish we could replicate it across all
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of America to protect women and girls and their private spaces.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: We have women's shelters, women's prisons, leaving females vulnerable to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: literal attacks from men who claim to be transgender, who
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: say that this is about their gender identity, and then
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: take advantage of women. So good on Nancy Mace. We'll
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: see how this all plays out. Democrats are pretty unhappy
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: with this bill because they want to protect this transgender
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: identifying man by, I guess, allowing him to use female restrooms.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is bizarre. Sometimes I just wonder, if
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I asked myself, or if I talked to my great-grandmother
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: who died in the late 90s but was born in 1899,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: about some of the things that we deal with today
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in America in the year 2025, she would be shocked.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I think America, our founders, we're living in clown world
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm glad that we have some normalcy back.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Turning to New York City, yesterday, a blood-covered lunatic with
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: two knives trekked across Manhattan in a savage broad daylight
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: stabbing spree that left a woman and two men dead.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The stabber, a mentally ill homeless man, was stopped by
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: cops thanks to the help of a couple of good Samaritans.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: But the bloody attacks erupted around 8.20 a.m. when the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: suspect walked up to a construction worker and knifed him
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: in the stomach. About two hours passed before the man
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: came across a 68-year-old man fishing in the East River.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And the murderer stabbed the fisherman several times before running off.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And then the third and final stabbing was a 36-year-old
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: woman who was knifed multiple times in full view of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: several other witnesses. And a pool of blood and a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: trail of gore remained on the ground after this stabbing. Now,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Ramon Rivera, 51-year-old man, has been identified as the person
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of interest in custody. And Rivera has eight previous arrests
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: in New York City alone. and seven prior felony charges.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He was released exactly one month ago, rearrested after one day,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and then released. And now he has killed three people
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: in broad daylight. But this is the new normal in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: New York City. Blue cities are dangerous. Normal, law-abiding citizens
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: are not the priority. They never have been. And by
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the way, we also learned that this individual was living
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in government-provided housing for the homeless. We're paying for this
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: man to have a place to live. He should be
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: in jail. But instead, he was out on the streets
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: because Democrats don't believe in law and order, and now
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: three people are dead. Blake and Riley. was also not
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a priority of Democrats. Yesterday, we learned that our government
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: funded the flight for Lakin Riley's killer from New York
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: City to Atlanta. Here is the roommate of Lakin Riley's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: killer testifying during the trial.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: And how did you get to Athens?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: In New York, we asked.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: In Manhattan. And Hotel Roosevelt.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: In Manhattan, we requested for a humanitarian flight.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: To come here to Atlanta.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: And when was that? Around the 9th, 10th of September.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And where did you go when you arrived in Athens?
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: To the airport.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Someone comments, yet.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Peanut the squirrel was the threat.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, Lake and Riley was not New York City, but.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That's a good point about this stabbing spree that we
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: just covered. And about that video that we just played,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: our government knew that this individual had a criminal history.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And yet they used our money to pay for an
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: illegal gay member to fly to Georgia, where he then
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: slaughtered an innocent girl. I am so grateful that Trump
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: is in office. Take a listen to this.
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: And I'm sure that was really hard for CNN to
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: report on because they love mass immigration and they don't
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: care about deporting people, even criminals. But anyone who opposes
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: mass deportation starting with the criminals.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Does not care about the well-being of the American people.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It's that simple. The left is willing to allow Lakin
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Riley and others to die at the hands of illegals,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: allow a sex trafficking crisis to flourish at the border,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: allow drugs to pour into the heartland and destroy lives.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: No more. The jig is up. There's a new sheriff
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in town. Speaking of, DOJ and FBI officials are reportedly
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: lawyering up in anticipation of the incoming Trump administration. Take
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a listen.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: The choice of Gates, which was, I think, a real
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: surprise to many people inside the DOJ. And everywhere. Everywhere, yes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: He's a lawyer, but he's had no experience prosecuting cases.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: But most of all, he is a firebrand loyalist, a
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: very vocal supporter of President Trump. And it's seen by
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: people as a choice. It's someone who Trump trusts.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: If you haven't done anything wrong, why do you need lawyers?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But they know they have done something wrong. So many
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of these bureaucrats are criminals who believe that they are
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: above the law. Now, the man the media and the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: deep state seem to be the most worried about is
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Matt Gaetz. Here's MSNBC.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: The choice of Gaetz, which was, I think, a real
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: surprise to many people inside the DOJ.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And everywhere. Everywhere, yes.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: He's a lawyer, but he's had no experience prosecuting cases.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: But most of all, he is a firebrand lawyer. loyalist,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: a very vocal supporter of President Trump. And it's seen
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: by people as a choice. It's someone who Trump trusts.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Everything I hear about Gates from the media makes me
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: like him more. It's kind of funny. He's a Trump loyalist.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: He's an outsider. It's like, yeah, that's the point. That's
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: why we picked him. Unfortunately, his confirmation is already facing
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of roadblocks from senators in Congress threatening to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: release a House ethics report derail his confirmation. And the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: pushback against Gates is to be expected because he is
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the most Trump-like of all the nominees, arguably. Denny McCarthy
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: had an excellent essay on this in Compact Magazine where
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he writes, Matt Gates is the closest America can get
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to having Trump himself as Attorney General. And I think
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: this is a pretty accurate assessment. Gates, like Trump, rejects
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: traditional respectability, exposing congressional insider trading and criticizing big tech
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: economic and ideological influence on American life. He's very new
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: right in that way. And again, and I don't say
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that to be negative about either of them. There is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a decorum that Trump and Gates lack, and it's kind
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of why we love them. They don't play by the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: same rules. They aren't the same type of slimy politician
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that we usually get who's very calculated in their speech.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: In other words, we get people who With Matt and Trump,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: we get two men who say exactly what they're thinking.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: They aren't afraid of any kind of bad press. It's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: just very straightforward. And frankly, it's been very refreshing. Now,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Gates is a self-described libertarian populist. Again, very new right
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: description there. I don't agree with Matt Gates on everything,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: but it's very Trumpian. He is very Trumpian. Gates blends
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: conservative stances on issues like abortion and gun rights with
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: with progressive positions on antitrust and marijuana, but his main
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: focus is holding elites accountable. And Gates' willingness to challenge
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: entrenched norms in the DOJ make him uniquely suited to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: prefer to pursue reform under Trump. So while Gates may
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: be the hardest nominee to confirm, he's also the most
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: on-brand for the Trump admin. In Trump's last admin, he
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: picked a lot of regular deep staters. And those deep
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: staters tried to stage a coup to unseat him with
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Russia collusion lies. So Trump has now picked loyalists, many
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: of whom have been on the outs of the deep
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: state because they are committed to authentic change. The new right,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the Trump coalition, is different than the Republican Party of
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: decades past. And it's attracting new faces. Cenk from the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Young Turks podcast tweeted yesterday, Hey, at Elon Musk. Put
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: me in charge of the Pentagon. All slash $ 400 billion easy.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: That'll get you 20% to your goal of $ 2 trillion
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: right out the gate. I went to Wharton three years
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: before you. I own a media company and I know
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: how to run a business. If you really want to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: put me, if you really want to cut, put me
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in coach. And a lot of people have responded to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Cenk with a pretty, with a lot of skepticism, I'll
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: just say, pretty negatively. And I get that. Cenk sucks
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and we disagree with him on politics, but cutting waste,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: particularly military spending, should be a bipartisan issue. Only the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Uniparty opposes this kind of reform that Trump has promised.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: So Elon responded to Cenk in writing saying, specific suggestions
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: are welcome. To which Cenk said, as you know, you
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: need to see the line items in the budget. But
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I have one suggestion already. The generals are not allowed
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to get a job with defense contractors for 10 years.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: They authorize so much wasteful spending because they're going to
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: get hired by those same companies. And I think this
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is a really great suggestion, actually. A lot of the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Trump agenda isn't partisan. There's so much room for unifying
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: in support of transparency and against corruption and waste. Again,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: this is a bipartisan issue. And I don't think that
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: we should automatically ostracize people on the left who are
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: supportive of this part of the Trump agenda. Now, while
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: most Democrats... aren't begging to join the Trump admin. Many
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: of them are finally starting to admit that their DEI nominee,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, is an idiot. Here is Katie Couric telling
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Jen Psaki that Kamala was an absolutely awful pick.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: I also felt that and again, I think she really
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: did well in so many areas. And I, I, but,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: but I was frustrated by her inability to really succinctly
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: answer questions at times, Jen, and to kind of, like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: if she was asked about changing the, the Supreme Court
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: at that CNN town hall, she, she had an opportunity
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: to talk about ethics and what, you know, Alito and
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Clarence Thomas were doing. And, She answered like in one
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: sentence and then like went on to something that had
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: nothing to do with the question. You know, people notice
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: that and it's like, answer the goddamn question, please. I mean, yeah.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: It's a good point. Probably should have made that point
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a little earlier than after the election. But I think
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: this election and what Katie and Jen Psaki won't admit
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is that it was an indictment on identity politics. Kamala
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Harris was a DEI hire. She was picked to be
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: vice president because she's black and a woman. And now
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: she's been she was picked to be the vice presidential nominee.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: only because she was vice president because she was a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: DEI hire. And I think it's possible that the left
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: has an opportunity to re to reimagine themselves as, as
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: genuinely populist, as somebody that cares about working class individuals.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: That's not just on the side of people who have
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: college degrees or who work in the federal government, there's
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: an opportunity for them to actually reach out. I hope
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they don't do this, but there is an opportunity for
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: them to return to the ways of the former Democratic Party,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to really take the advice of people like Bernie Sanders.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And it has to start with them actually shaking off
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: DEI because it is tanking them electorally. It's making them
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: put forward people who aren't qualified at the job, people
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: who can't win elections. It's very bad. So I don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: know if they'll have that kind of come-to-Jesus moment.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: But certainly it's going to be essential if they want
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to have a future in politics. Now, many of you
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: probably already know that Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough recently met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Here
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: is Mika explaining why the two of them were willing
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to meet with Hitler.
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: And for those asking... why we would go speak to
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: guess I would ask back, why wouldn't we? Five years
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: of political warfare has deeply divided Washington and the country.
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: We have been as clear as we know how in
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: expressing our deep concerns about President Trump's actions and words.
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: in the coarsening of public debate. But for nearly 80
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: million Americans, election denialism, public trials, and January 6th were
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: not as important as the issues that moved them to
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote.
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: Joe and I realized it's time to do something different.
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: And that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump,
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: but also talking with him.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Let me just translate that for you all. Morning Joe
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and the entire MSNBC network's ratings have plummeted since the election.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: CNN as well. And Mika and Joe are attempting to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: understand more than half the country since they run a
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: morning show dramatically out of touch with most of Americans.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm surprised that after all the lies Mika and
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Joe have spewed about Trump, they dare show their faces
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to him. But they did. I think another part of
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: this is access. I think Mika and Joe want access
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to President Trump in these next four years where the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: power structures have shifted. And it's very slimy considering how
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: horrible they have been to Trump, how much they have lied,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: how badly they have behaved. Really, it's, I think, a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: show of Trump's character that he even met with them
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: But he did, and you can rest assured that Mika
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and Joe are probably not meeting him for the best
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: of reasons. It's all self-interested. By the way, Mika's Trump
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: derangement is relatively new. I didn't know this, but I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: want you guys, I just saw this yesterday, I want
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: you to watch how Mika used to absolutely love Trump
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: before he became president.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Did you get a lot of sleep last night?
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, well, I got woken up.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: Like what?
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, just, well, Donald wanted me to see
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: the CPAC speech. I was skeptical, but I pulled it
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: up on the internet.
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: It was pretty good.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Pretty good.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: It was pretty good.
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: Joining us on the phone right now, Donald Trump.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Donald.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Mika, what do you mean pretty good?
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: You know you loved it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: Trump, you're naughty.
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: I was almost like she was flirting with him.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: That was like almost uncomfortable to listen to.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: She, The flip-flopping is so crazy. And that's how you
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: know that these Trump derangement rants that all these left-wing
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: pundits go on is completely manufactured and not authentic. Whoopi
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: has had, you know, soundbites of her praising and loving
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: on Trump. Oprah has actually encouraged him to run for office.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And it's just, it's crazy how they have turned a
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: man that they used to love into Hitler. And I'll
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: just say that even if this whole meeting between Trump
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and Morning Joe was about saving ratings and gaining access
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: to the president, I think trying to strike a normal
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: tone on their show is a net positive for the country.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: It's a net positive for their viewers who they are
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: poisoning every morning with this Trump derangement. So if it
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: sparks a change, if they start to act a little
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: more normal, even if it's in their own self-interest, I
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: think that's a good thing. Of course, not everyone feels
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that way. Here's Sunny Hostin reacting to Morning Joe's meeting
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: with The View yesterday. Look, the bottom line is.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: That America needs a free press that is willing to
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: speak truth to power right now more than ever. And...
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: I think that we have to be very clear-eyed when
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: we think about the president-elect and cover the president-elect. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: I don't think you need to sit down for 90
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: minutes at Mar-a-Lago and kiss his ring to be able
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: to speak truth and to be able to cover a story.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: So maybe they're not journalists in the true sense. Maybe
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: they're saying that they're opinion journalists. But we have to
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: remember that Trump is the guy who ushered in the
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: era of fake news. He is the guy who ushered
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: in alternative facts. He is the guy who attacked three
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: black female journalists.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: She is not taking this election very well at all.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, but if you can't or aren't even
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: willing to attempt to shake off your Trump derangement in
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: this era, you are irrelevant. And you will continue bleeding viewers.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: America wants honesty and voices that are in touch with
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: regular Americans. And Sonny Hostin isn't. Here is Sonny still
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: saying that people who voted for Trump did so because
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: they're racist, misogynist, and uneducated.
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: There's a clear racial divide in who voted for Trump.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: As opposed to who voted for Kamala Harris.
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: It's very clear.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: It's not only clear by race, but it's also clear
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: by education. And so the notion somehow that that is
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: not true, this is by education. Those who attended college
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: voted for her at a higher degree than those that didn't.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: And I've said that.
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: Let me just finish. I've said that before and there
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: was so much backlash because I think it's an uncomfortable,
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: inconvenient truth about this country.
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: But his whole point is they didn't vote for him
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: because of racism and misogyny. They voted for him because
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: they felt like, I think the biggest common denominator in
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: this election is people want a good life and ability
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: to provide for their family. And whether we agree or
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: not with Donald Trump's plans, they thought that he was reflective.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: One of the poorest demographics in this country. but they
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: voted for Kamala Harris.
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: But there was a split, and more of them voted
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: for Donald Trump than had historically. I think that there's
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: such a desire. If you really think the vast majority
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: of this country voted because of racism and misogyny, you're
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: missing it. Most of my family, a lot of my
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: family doesn't have college degrees. But the stats are the stats.
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: But that's not, it doesn't say, I'm white, I voted
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: for Donald Trump because of racism.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: But the stats, what stats are you talking about? Let
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: me just dissect the two.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: Yes, you can.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: The racism accusations make zero sense. Like Alyssa said, just
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: because you voted for Trump doesn't mean you're a racist,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: especially considering that so many minorities voted for Trump in
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: record numbers. It's just ludicrous. And how condescending and snobbish
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of her to smear Trump supporters as uneducated bigots. It's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: this kind of rhetoric that drives people to Trump, that
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: creates a narrative that the left is exclusively for the elites,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: is exclusively for... the gentry class in America and has
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: abandoned normal working class individuals. It's that kind of rhetoric.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Sunny might think that she's speaking truth to power, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: in reality, she's taking her own party. She's hurting only
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: her own party. The truth is that at this point,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: nobody really cares what Sunny has to say. She hasn't
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: touched grass in years. Now, some people really are trying
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to be introspective in this moment. Here's Jon Stewart admitting
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: that the election was a repudiation of the bureaucratic system.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Election that we just had was a repudiation of the
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: status quo, an overly regulated system that is no longer
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: responsive or delivering for the needs of the people or
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: their beloved behatted squirrels.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, R.I.P.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Peanut.
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Government is theoretically.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: A constitutional system of checks and balances between equally powerful branches.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: But what government actually is, is an overly complicated Byzantine
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: bureaucratic maze of rules, loopholes to those rules and norms.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: These last four years, particularly in the wake of COVID,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: have been a referendum on the role of experts in
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: shaping American policy. What is the purpose of government? And
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: how do we protect liberties laid out in our constitution?
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Aharon Friedman wrote in American Mind, in an essay titled,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Experts, that contrary to caricature,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: President Trump does not cavalierly disregard experts and their advice.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: In fact, Trump's given considerable attention to expert advice, though
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: with some focus on seeking diverse perspectives as well. For example,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Trump took seriously the recommendations of Anthony Fauci during COVID,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: a deep state criminal who we now know greenlit the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: funding of dangerous gain-of-function research that started the COVID-19 pandemic
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: in the first place. But Trump also got advice from
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Scott Atlas to the outrage of the entrenched state. But
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: things have changed. after all of these experts and officials
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: tried to stage a coup against Trump, wage lawfare against
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: him and every one of his allies, hide January 6th
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: video footage, curtail basic civil liberties, and facilitate one of
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: the greatest transfers of wealth in human history during COVID.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: The trust is gone, and Trump's assembling a team outside
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of the permanent state. For decades now, since the time
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: of Woodrow Wilson, progressives have believed that governance should be
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: left to the experts, not necessarily the elected officials who
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: are actually beholden to the American people. And these same
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: progressives don't stop with putting Fauci in charge of public health,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a man who was never elected by anyone, but they
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: also want the UN, the WEF, IMF, G20 dictating American life.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: And with Trump, the American people chose a government outside
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the control of the unaccountable federal bureaucracy and globalist organizations.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: With Trump, the American people rejected the snobby gentry class
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: that Sonny Hostin and so many others exemplify. As Friedman writes,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Americans instinctively despise the idea that all questions of policy
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: should be decided by experts in ideologically uniform Ivy League
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: echo chambers. Trump tapped into that ethos, and he truly
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: has assembled a rebel alliance in his cabinet. And there
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: are going to be hiccups as we start implementing radical change,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: overhauling the system. But at the same time, it's really exciting.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Walter Kern wrote on X yesterday in reference to Trump's
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: appearance at the UFC fight. For better or for worse,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the Trump posse is the most riveting cultural spectacle of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: our time. Positively Roman in its imagery, especially when it
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: strides into a stadium to behold a gladiatorial contest. And
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the mainstream media has nothing to say, just flogs away
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: at its tired old obsessions. Out to lunch hardly covers things.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: It truly has left the building. And Trump really has
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: assembled an unconventional team that's going to completely turn the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: tables on public health, national defense, national intelligence, the Department
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: of Justice. Trump and his rebel alliance of cabinet officials
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: have promised radical, radical change that could save America. And
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: we're living in a dangerous time. Like Rome circa 410 BC,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: America is being invaded and our civilization is in decline.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: It's undeniable. And the question is, do we fail or
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: can Trump and his gladiators save the Republic? That's all
