- 1:18Kash Patel is confirmed as the FBI director. Yes.
- 1:24Okay. And then Mike Johnson, he gave some remarks at CPAC yesterday that I don't
- 1:29know what you all think about it,
- 1:30but I have my own opinions about it regarding the Doge plan of giving back to
- 1:35Americans $5,000 or however much they can get by all these savings that they are finding.
- 1:41So he had some remarks that we're going to take a look as well.

- 2:31it. But before we do that, I did want to say something.
- 2:34Have you ever woke up from a dream or you were in the middle of a dream and
- 2:39you just wanted the dream to play out?
- 2:41You don't want to wake up with these kind of weird thoughts that you had.
- 2:44I had that this morning. I had this, this morning I woke up and I just wish
- 2:48my dream had played out. It was.
- 2:50I was, me and my wife were at like a work convention or something like some
- 2:55type of convention. And we're the ones that were supposed to go back home and
- 2:57prepare dinner for everybody for the party to arrive.
- 3:00So we went back home and we get, we, we, and we decided we just want to start
- 3:05eating ourselves and we just start eating dinner ourselves.
- 3:08And then everybody from the convention comes in and starts walking in and they're
- 3:13like, why didn't you wait for us? And it just was so awkward.
- 3:18I've never had a dream like that. But I woke up and I'm like thinking,
- 3:22why couldn't that dream have just played out?
- 3:25Why did I have to wake up and remember that? Because have you ever heard that
- 3:28if you dream something and it goes all the way through, that you don't remember those dreams?
- 3:34Those are the dreams you don't remember because you were able to dream it all the way through.
- 3:38But if you break it up right mid dream or something like that,
- 3:42then you wake up and you remember it.
- 3:44And this is one that I wish, I don't want to even think about that.
- 3:48But I had to say that because it was too awkward.
- 3:50I woke up with an awkward feeling and I was stuffing my face and everybody's
- 3:56walking in and we're the ones supposed to be putting together a dinner for everybody.
- 3:59It was completely awkward. Have you ever had one of those?
- 4:02I did. Okay, so let's dive in.
- 4:05We're going to take a look at, first of all, Mike Johnson's,
- 4:09what he said at CPAC yesterday, which I do have some strong emotions,
- 4:15strong feelings about what he said, but we're going to dive right into it. Here we go.
- 4:20The president said that a percentage of Doge savings could maybe go back to
- 4:25the American people in the form of what he called Doge stimulus checks,
- 4:30something like 20%. How would that work?
- 4:34Well, look, I mean, politically, that would be great for us,
- 4:37you know, because then everybody would check.
- 4:38But really, we have to think of it, I think, in a... That just got everybody's
- 4:41attention, by the way. Yeah, I know. I just saw everybody look up all of a sudden. I know.
- 4:45But if you think about our core principles, Right. Fiscal responsibility is
- 4:49what we do as conservatives.
- 4:50That's our brand. And we have a thirty six trillion dollar federal debt.
- 4:54We have a giant deficit that we're contending with.
- 4:57I think we need to pay down the credit card. Right. That's what I think we need to do.
- 5:03What do y'all think about that i
- 5:06mean okay this is where i depart
- 5:09from just the flat strong
- 5:13conservative conservatism when it
- 5:16comes when it comes to this like when you are that rigid
- 5:19and i i mean i i love mike mike
- 5:22johnson i think he's a great been a great speaker i think he he's a christian
- 5:26and he's out open and honest about that he just says it as it is he tells people
- 5:30what he thinks about that and he's being fundamentally he's being strong in
- 5:34his position as a conservative in that sense but man this is something where
- 5:40i think we need to we need to.
- 5:43Fix something. We need to straighten up and not go down that path.
- 5:46We don't need to be that rigid about this because when you tell the American people that they could,
- 5:53just based on everything we're doing, because we're saying we're cutting everything
- 5:56from the government and then Elon and Trump are out there like,
- 6:00we're actually going to be bringing you more money, putting more money in your pocket, like directly,
- 6:05a check in the mail from Doge.
- 6:08You got five extra thousand dollars to work with and
- 6:11to spend on whatever you want just extra on on the top and
- 6:15then at CPAC and I know this that that's what
- 6:18they're about and just really cutting down the debt but I don't think we're
- 6:24there yet we're 30 over 36 trillion dollars in debt we can't be thinking about
- 6:29that I mean it's gonna have to come in with a lot of things in place to actually
- 6:34start chipping away at that debt.
- 6:37And it's going to, when you talk about like, you're not going to give people
- 6:41$5,000, just an extra money on top, you know, like.
- 6:46This is something that's very tough for me. I don't know what you all think
- 6:51about that, but that is very tough for me.
- 6:54He's the speaker of the party, and he's saying that.
- 6:59That's troubling. That's troubling for me. He's departing from what Elon and
- 7:03Trump are doing. Man, you got to get in line. Get in line.
- 7:07Know the audience. Read the room. To say something like this,
- 7:12I don't know where he's coming from with that.
- 7:14Like, how are you actually going to, you can't be that staunch in your,
- 7:19in your opinion that you're not going to be able to kind of give some flexibility.
- 7:24I know that he's speaking to the crowd and we play to the crowd that we are
- 7:27around. And it's easier to say that, you know, cause it's more well-received,
- 7:31but it's going to get, it's out there and it's out there right now.
- 7:34Everybody's seeing it. Everybody's seen what he said. So it's like,
- 7:37he's been on the hot seat for a little bit.
- 7:39I think he should remain as speaker, but you always think of the conservatives
- 7:45is like your parents and the liberals is like the,
- 7:48the dreamy visionary teenager that wants to go out and then save the world and
- 7:54do good and help people and all that. And just give everybody everything.
- 8:01But then you get to the adult and the dad and the mom that just knows,
- 8:06knows a little bit better.
- 8:07And that's kind of the conservatives but it's like it doesn't
- 8:11the analogy doesn't work perfectly so you
- 8:15got to know what the american people are wanting and when
- 8:17we're talking third over 36 trillion in debt like this is monopoly money this
- 8:23is monopoly money this isn't real it has it's not real anymore so it's like
- 8:26why are you talking and treating it like it is real why why are you talking
- 8:30like like that you know it's like there's so much you could do and so many people you could reached by.
- 8:35This is a good, a feel good moment of Doge is just hacking the wasteful spending
- 8:41in Washington to pieces and.
- 8:45We can actually give money back like directly like not just oh i'll throw in
- 8:49a policy and you'll see that money in about 10 to 12 years no this is like directly
- 8:55in your pocket checking the mail.
- 8:58Jump on board mike johnson jump on board don't try to read the room and just
- 9:02play to your those those fundamental foundational points that you have but actually
- 9:08i mean this is something get on board with everybody get on board this the trump
- 9:12train is moving the trump train is moving and everybody get on board.
- 9:16Everybody, like Americans, this is a time to come together and do something.
- 9:21Like, we can make a difference, baby. We can make a difference.
- 9:25And so it's like, I think this was a misstep. This was a misstep.
- 9:30All right. In other news, Kash Patel, he is, he's confirmed.
- 9:35He's confirmed and he is going to be the FBI director, you know?
- 9:42I mean, that is a pretty sweet moment.
- 9:46That is a pretty sweet moment. I am absolutely pumped by that.
- 9:51I don't know what you all think about Kash Patel.
- 9:54He is going to go in there because guns blazing, baby.
- 9:58He is going to go in there guns blazing and he is going to just clean up the
- 10:01FBI because I, I, I love, I grew up loving the FBI, loving.
- 10:09I wanted to be in the FBI and they were like the, the thing that I like geared my whole life towards.
- 10:16I wanted to like, that was my ultimate goal, like FBI or something like that.
- 10:20And I, I thought they were, they were so amazing and they are,
- 10:24you know, I gotta be careful, you know, federal agents, but like,
- 10:27In the last three years, four years, it has been, there has been a taint over the FBI.
- 10:35Bigly, bigly, as well as so many other deep state organizations in the government.
- 10:40But like the FBI particularly has been tough for me. And I know it's been the top.
- 10:46It's been the top because the trends and the culture gets set and it filters down from the top.
- 10:53The guys that are just carrying out orders aren't setting policy,
- 10:58aren't setting how everybody feels about everything and feels like the freedom
- 11:02they have to do things that are right.
- 11:05So Kash Patel, throwing somebody up at the top, he's going to clean house.
- 11:12I know he is, and he has a record of it, just the way that he is.
- 11:17So Kash Patel, that is amazing that that happened.
- 11:22Absolutely amazing. So there are things happening in our government that I can
- 11:28get on board with, you know, and just Trump, his whole cabinet is being put in place.
- 11:34He is the GM, and he is just putting the best players in the best positions,
- 11:39and I think we're getting ready to tackle the next season of the four years for the American dream.
- 11:46So I'm absolutely pumped about that. So I hope you are as well.
- 11:52So what do you all think about Mike Johnson's comments? And what do you all
- 11:55think about Kash Patel taking that position as the FBI director?
- 12:00Put it in the comments. Let me know what you think. I would love to hear it.
- 12:04All right, we'll leave it at that. Peace, everyone.
