Hour 3: Pete Hegseth impeachment · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Things were starting to look good as the transition of
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: power will take place both in the House and the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Senate on January 1st, when a new class gets sworn in.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: The president was saying all the right things, even in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: his 60 Minutes interview that has gone viral, where he said, well,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the one area that we can have some involvement and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: some room to move is immigration. I believe we were
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a little too harsh in our implementation of that. And
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I said, OK, that's a good acknowledgement. Tallarico, called Talafrico
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: by the president and others, appeared on Saturday Night Live.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: He was part of that opening act. You know, it
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: was great. But right before, since he was in New
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: York to do it, this is a live show, he said,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I really want to compliment the president of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the United States because he did a great job sealing
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: up the border. And Texas was the state that felt
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it the most. Obviously, Abbott led the way. He showed
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: how you could hermetically seal up a border just with
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: your own resources and And then ably assisted the president
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of the United States to do everything else. So Tallarico
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: was not saying, hey, open border, come on in. I'm
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the new U.S. senator replacing Cornyn, who was beaten by
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Paxton in the primary. These were all good signs. Now,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, something must have happened
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in the White House. Because we knew Susie Wiles, who
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: had been loyal to him as his chief of staff.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And the chief of staff, you need to understand, no
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: matter what the position in government, is the gatekeeper. That
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is the guy or the gal who tries to monitor
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: traffic in and out of the White House, the Oval Office,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: which ain't an easy thing to do with Donald Trump.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But Susie Wiles seemed to have, I don't know, come on,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: say quite a special relationship with Donald Trump. He oftentimes
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: did not disparage her. We didn't hear that there was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: yelling and screaming. He seemed to recognize she was politically astute.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: She had, remember, Larry, very ably recommended Marco Rubio to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: be Secretary of State. That was an excellent suggestion. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: then she very ably recommended the guy you like, the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Secretary of the Treasury, you know, the farmer from Kentucky, Besson, right?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Besson. Besson.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I'm always messing up. But good choices. Well, somebody's got
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to take the fall. And Susie Wise is taking the fall.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So she is being segued out to a new position.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He used to be in that. Remember that first four years,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the president liked to fire some of his people. He
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem to do that any longer. Kristi Noem was
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: not fired as head of the Department of Homeland Service.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Neither is Susie Weiss. They seem to be.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Susie Wiles.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Wiles.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: They seem to be sort of segued out to a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: new position. We know what she's going to be doing now.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: She's not left the administration.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: The odd thing is that they said she's going to
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: now serve in the political arm. So she's going to
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: work with the Republican Party. And I was trying to
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: find out what her position is going to be. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: there's no position named right now. I don't know what
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: her job is going to be.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: She is.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: She has been, certainly not in this election, but she
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: has been brilliant politically. So this is really what she
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: does well. She's been a great chief. She's been great
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: at deciding who and who cannot speak with the president.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: That's basically the job. I think also she had that
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: physical setback.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Remember, she had severe breast cancer, appears to have recovered
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: from that. That's hard enough to deal with if you're
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: not working. But imagine... You're the gatekeeper at the White House,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: which has a lot of traffic. It's not like the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden administration where he was sleeping like 18 hours
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a day like a cat would.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: The president is up and at him, as we know, 24-7, 365.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Difficult job. But I think what happened is you could
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: take the scene right out.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Of The Godfather where the president sits Susie down and says, Susie,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you have been loyal. You have been a great peacetime consigliere,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: which she has been. She was able to put out
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of the internal fires. But now I need
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a wartime consigliere. And I guess he told her that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it was her time to go. And he called in
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: his enforcer, the deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I think that that appointment was a signal to all
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that the olive branch, the kumbaya moment, Let's come together,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: if not with all the Democrats. Some of the Democrats
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was over because immediately Hakeem Jeffries, the incoming Speaker of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the House, said, all bets are off.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: This is war.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: As long as Stephen Miller is the chief of staff
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: for this president, we'll have no dealings with him.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Well, that's stupid. That's ridiculous for Jeffries to say that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: He's got to back down now. You know, he was
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the pit bull, which is what the minority person has
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to do. But Listen, right now he's got to be
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the speaker. He's got to start acting like the speaker.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: And that was just a dumb thing to say. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: will tell you this. Susie Wiles is tremendous. And there's
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: probably nobody in the Republican Party better when it comes
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: to politics. So she's now in her safe space. But
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: she was incredible. She was incredible as the chief of staff.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: And and so I think she's going to be missed.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: But I understand the change, because if you've noticed, Trump
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: has said all the right things and he's reached out
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: his hand and he's willing to work. So he's the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: good cop. He needs a bad cop. And the bad
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: cop is going to be Stephen Miller. But here's what's
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: interesting about it. Everybody's worried about it because Stephen Miller
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: is on TV all the time. How many times do
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: you see Susie Wiles on TV?
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Never.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Just a Vanity Fair interview, which I think she regretted.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but never, never.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: So I got a feeling if he plays the role
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: the way the role is supposed to be played, because
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: it's not just Susie Wiles. Go back to Biden. You
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: never saw his chief of staff. You go back to Obama.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: You never saw his chief of staff. They're too damn busy.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: to do press interviews, plus that's not their job. But
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes, I think Stephen Miller is going to be,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Stephen Miller is much better, much different.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He's a great musician.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Stephen Miller is going to be much, much different in
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: dealing with the Democrats. That's who he's going to be
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: talking to a lot. Now, you talked about Hakeem Jeffries
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: a moment ago. Here's what he had to say.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: There's not going to be any opportunity, certainly, to work
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: with Stephen Miller and what he represents. And we're committed
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: to forcefully pushing back against the extremism that they may
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: try to continue to unleash on the American people. And
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: we've got a firewall in the House and a firewall
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: in the Senate, thanks to the American people.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: The hard thing is that Marlon Stutzman, who is a
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: moderate Republican... He has come out and he said, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: don't like this pick either.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: I think that the decision to elect Stephen Miller is
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: a mistake. He's not liked out here in the Midwest
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: by people. They don't like his tone. They believe that
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: he didn't offer up a better solution, a more comprehensive
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: solution on immigration. And that's why I think it was
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: a bad mistake.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: You don't need to like the chief of staff. The
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: chief of staff is supposed to be not seen and
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: not heard. And Stephen Miller has been neither. So I
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: understand why people may not like the choice, but we
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: don't know how he's going to assimilate his style to
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: this job. You know, if you were going to worry
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: about who's going to be really out in the forefront,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I'd worry more about Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan being the
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: minority leader, he's the one that's going to do all
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: the fighting. He's the one that's going to be feisty
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: if he gets the job. Of course, he's running against
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Steve Scalise, but everybody thinks it's going to be Jim Jordan.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: So you're seeing what's happening. Donald Trump has already pulled back.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump is now conciliatory. Donald Trump saying, hey, I
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: made a couple of mistakes. I'm willing to reach across
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: the aisle. But if you have Jim Jordan and you
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: have Stephen Miller and we don't know what else is
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: going to happen in that administration, believe me, it's not
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: over yet. It's pretty clear that Donald Trump wants to
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: be the nice guy now. And he wants to be
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: the guy that can reach his hand across the aisle.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: But he's going to surround himself with pit bulls.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the GOP, which had garnered up so much
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of the Latino support in 2024 for Trump's election, 44% overall,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and they won the Latino male vote. They're down at 30%.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And by appointing Stephen Miller, the pit dog, who basically
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: said everybody who's illegal gets deported. You basically said to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the GOP Latinos, hey, the door is open. Make sure
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that the door doesn't hit you on the way out.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know about that. Come on.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: No.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: That's a little bit silly because it's not political now.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: There's nothing to run for now except for two years.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: In two years, you've got to worry about that kind
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: of stuff. Nobody's going to leave the party over Stephen Miller.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Nobody is. And I'd be stunned if it happened.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Nobody is going to even complain that loudly about Stephen Miller.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Everybody's just worried about themselves right now. And about two
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: years from now, two years is a long time.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Let's look at Salazar's in a neck and neck race
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: still in Southern Florida who fired the first shot to say, Mr. President,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you're over the top with your immigration enforcement.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: And this isn't going to affect that race at all
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: because the votes are already in. You know, You you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: talking about two years from now. That's that's a lifetime
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: in politics. Let's let's let it play out a little bit.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: But there's not going to be any political repercussions. I
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: want to be I want to sort of put the
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: olive branch out.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And then you put the pit bull out that you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: have to deal with, who clearly wants every illegal alien deported.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: It's good cop, bad cop. I'd listen to the president
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: and what he said and not Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: has a new job. And again, that job is supposed
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: to be not seen and not heard. He's going to
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: be a pit bull behind the scenes, but that's obviously
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: what Donald Trump wants. But Hurting him politically, I just
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: don't see it at this point.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I guarantee he'll be a regular presence on the Fox
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: News channel like he's always been.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: A regular presence.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: We'll see. If he does the job the way it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: supposed to be done, that's not going to happen.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Anyway, up next, down in Florida, there was a sanctuary
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: for gorillas and chimpanzees. And there was a flood, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: one of them got saved by the drone. I'm wondering
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: if it was bubbles. the longtime friend of Michael Jackson,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: who was sent to a sanctuary down there. They call
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it an ape sanctuary. Who's still alive. Plus a chance
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to see Tommy James and the Shondells next.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Well, here's a story you'll love Curtis and Nancy will
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: love because it's about a chimp sanctuary. There's an organization
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: called save the chimps and they go along around and
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: from zoos and also from homes, people that, are dumb
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: enough to have a chimp in their house and then realize,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I can't control this chimp. They take all of these
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: chimps and they have a sanctuary in Florida. Well, you
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: remember over the last couple of weeks, they've had torrential
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: rainfall in Florida and they have 200 chimps. Well, 199
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: of them were smart enough to seek cover and they
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: were fine. But they were missing one, and it's one
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: of their most famous chimps.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: It's Caleb.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Caleb is 38 years old. Now, to give you an
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: idea of how old that is in chimp years, in
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the wild especially, chimps, that's probably the oldest they'll get,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: is 38 years old. And Caleb is also blind. So
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: you can see he had a couple excuses for not
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: getting back inside cover at the sanctuary. He was missing
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: and they set up a drone to find him. And
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: they realized he wasn't at a place where he could
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: get any food. And it turned out he was there
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: a couple of days and that he would be starving
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: to death. So they hooked up to the drone some
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: oranges and bananas and sent him his way and dropped them.
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: He was, I think, happily surprised to get his banana
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: and immediately peeled and ate it. and almost like looked
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: back at the drone with a look of appreciation, I
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: would say.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: That's Ana Paula Tavares, who runs the location. Now, the
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: water resided a little bit. He was up in the
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: trees for most of the time. The water resided a
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: little bit, and he's now made it back, and he's safe.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great story. But my main concern is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: for the most famous Chimpanzee of all time. Friend of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that pedophile on a pedestal, Michael Jackson. Bubbles, who was
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: taken from the sanctuary and put into a chimpanzee haven
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in Florida. He should be like over 40 years old now.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Was Bubbles affected?
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: No, he's in the Center for Great Apes. This one's
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: in Fort Pierce. I'm going to pronounce this wrong.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Watula?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Watula?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Wachula, Florida. That's where he is right now.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: He's now, speaking about being 38, being old for a chimp,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: he's in his 40s right now.
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And still alive.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: The most famous chimpanzee of all. Having surpassed, remember, Bonzo
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the Chimp?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: With Ronald Reagan when he was the actor. You know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: bedtime stories for Bonzo or whatever the name of that
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: movie was.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Now let's get to some talkbacks.
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: I think you should raise the voting age to 25.
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: I think the young people of America are heavily influenced
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: by social media, fake news, and these colleges brainwashing them.
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: Let them hit the workforce and feel the pains the
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: rest of America is going through and the struggles. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: hopefully they'll vote for candidates that will improve their lives
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: and have the same issues that they need addressed.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Wow. So you could go fight and die in a war.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: But this Gavone, this Stunard, wants the voting age range
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to 25 and thinks that's going to change. You know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: guess what? According to the figures that came out in
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the midterms, it would not have changed.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm thinking 35 and you have to have employment.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: You have to be working at the time and you
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: have to pay something. Let's just say this. You have
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: to pay a certain amount of taxes to have the
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: right to vote. You know, there is a weirdness right
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: now among the young who, more than anybody else, like
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: socialism and the polls.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Don't blame the young people. You're really going to attract
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: them to the GOP. You keep blaming the Gen Zs
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and the millennials. It's over, man, if you keep doing that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: It's over. I'm not going to have any effect.
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: Those Republicans and independent conservatives that hate Trump, Unlike the
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: stupid people that go.
• 16:04
  Speaker 10: I want to buy the house, but the color of
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: the house is horrible, so.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I won't buy that house.
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: Like freaking paint doesn't exist.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: So he has a... whatever attitude. He's fixing everything. You
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: can't see that. Now, people have short memories. Oh, it's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the gas prices. The gas prices are too high.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: They don't forget what inflation was. They forget what inflation
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: was like under Biden. They forget when there was an
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: open border. They forget when crime was so high.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's fixing everything. Declare victory in the war with

  Speaker 11: Showers today with a high of 57 degrees. The week
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: begins at the Trump White House with a new boss.
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: Deputy Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is taking
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: over as chief of staff.
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: He's really the architect of all those executive orders that
• 16:58
  Speaker 12: Trump signed in those first days. The architect of Trump's
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: mass deportation policy. The architect of the attacks on the
• 17:07
  Speaker 12: alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, the bombing of those boats.
• 17:09
  Speaker 12: That was Stephen Miller. He was very much a part
• 17:12
  Speaker 12: of the Venezuela movement. Even though he wasn't at the Pentagon,
• 17:15
  Speaker 12: he wasn't on the National Security Council, he was the guy.
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: That's ABC's Jonathan Karl. Miller will take over for Susie Wiles,
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: who some in the administration say the president is blaming
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: for the midterm losses. Prosecutors say the suspect in the
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: fatal stabbing of Brooklyn jogger Katie Suarez was working as
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: a classroom aide in city schools. Syed Mohassib was also

• 18:55
  Speaker 4: get another chance to win tomorrow night. at 825. Well,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: with the new election results, there's two people in Washington
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: that are now worried about their jobs, the defense secretary
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: and the minority leader who thought he was going to
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: be majority leader, Pete Hegseth and Chuck Schumer. We'll talk
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: about it next. Well, here's the thing about Pete Hegseth.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: You're going to hear all this talk about impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: and it probably is going to happen. He's going to
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: be impeached, but I don't believe that there's a world
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: where he is removed from office. So he's going to
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: be just like President Trump in the first term. He'll
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: be impeached, but he'll continue on as the Secretary of War.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Articles of impeachment have already been introduced, and it's by
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: an outgoing Republican, Thomas Massey of Kentucky. reintroduced a privileged
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: resolution containing eight, count them, eight articles of Hegseth related
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: to Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, violation of the War Powers Resolution
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: of 1973, and And recently, the incoming Speaker of the
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: House said he is a hard yes on the impeachment proceedings.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: The so-called Secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: of choice in Iran, which has skyrocketed prices on the
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: American people and made the country less safe. Pete Hegseth
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: has got to go.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Well, he won't go.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: There's not a world where he's going to go. They're
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: going to need at least 67 votes, and they don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: have those votes. And there's enough Republicans that will vote
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: against removing him from office, vote against a conviction. But
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: it's going to be really fascinating. By the way, Donald
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Trump in the 60 Minutes interview defended Pete Hegseth, saying
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: that he has won two wars. He's talking about Iran
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: and Vietnam. And Pete Hegseth responded as well.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: But of course, the other side, in case you've noticed,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: they're obsessed.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: A disgruntled, defeated congressman, along with all his Democrat allies,
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: has also dropped sham articles of impeachment against yours truly.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Just like they tried against President Trump twice.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: At the very least, it's going to be entertaining. I
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: don't know if you remember Pete Hegseth's appearance in front
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: of the House of Representatives, which is going to happen
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: first as part of the investigation. There's going to be
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: this interrogation by Democrats. And if you remember, Pete Hegseth
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: is very combative. And Pete Hegseth will hold his own. Stop.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Based on the— Stop. reclaiming my time.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Because you yell doesn't make you right. You're going to
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: lecture this administration about the economy? You know what is upsetting? Incredible.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Well, I would say the blockade that we hold that
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: doesn't allow anything to come in or out of Iranian ports.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, so we've blockaded their blockade.
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: So they blockaded us, and then we blockaded their blockade.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, you care a lot about President Trump, don't you?
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: This is a huge waste of your five minutes.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: A huge, huge....
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: So we're going to expect more of that. The very
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: least is going to be entertaining. Listen, I believe that
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: the Democrats are not going to try to impeach Donald Trump.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: I think they know that hurt them the last time
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: they did it. But they need to show their base.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: They need to show the DSA. They need to show
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: the non-DSA who are still angry that they're going to
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: take on this administration. And I believe Pete Hegseth is
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: going to be the sacrificial lamb. And so there will
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: be an impeachment trial in the Senate. There will be
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: impeachment proceedings in the House. He will be impeached by
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: the House, but he's going to keep his job in
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: the end.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: So it's all theater.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: But you're going to see a lot of Republicans jump
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: ship and want to impeach him on the issue of
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: him letting go.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: How many do you let me hear your guess on that?
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: How many how many do you think that there's enough
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: in the Senate that will jump?
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: No.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: You think there's going to be 67 votes? I do,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: for the reason that you didn't mention. There are a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: lot of valuable men that were released from their Pentagon
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: duties that were loved by Republicans, veterans themselves. We're not
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: talking about DEI hires. You always like to say that. No,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: valuable personnel. There's a lot of problems in the Pentagon
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: now because he is known as just being, if you
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: criticize him, that's it, you're gone.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: So I think you're going to see a lot of
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: blowback on that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: I would love to do a bet on that. I
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: would bet you anything he's not going to be removed
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: from office.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: If they bring some of these esteemed men to give testimony,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that's going to have a very damning effect on him
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: because we're not now talking about what he says. It's
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: what he does as the Secretary of War in the Pentagon.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: But something has to rise to impeachable offense, almost criminal.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: It almost has to be a criminal offense or an
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: abuse of power. And I just don't—listen, I listen to
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: the Republican senators all the time. Most of them have
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: come out in support of him. So I'm not sure
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: you're going to be able to get 67 votes. I mean,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: if it— let' s just say it's 55 Democrats. You're going to
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: need to get 12 Republicans?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see how it goes. Meantime, the schmuck-to-putz Chuck E.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Cheese Schumer was the focus— of a no-kings rally over
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the weekend, so was Hakeem Jeffries. But we know Hakeem
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Jeffries is going to become the incoming Speaker of the House,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to whack him. But oh boy, the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: schmuck-to-putz Chuck E. Cheese Schumer could be whacked by Democrats.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Those that are incoming have all said, that's it. We're
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: telling you right on the record now, we do not
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: want him to become the majority leader of the United
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: States Senate. There are those Democrats who have hated having
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to work with him. His only saving grace, I can
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: tell you from past experience, is that this guy is
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the J.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Edgar Hoover of politics.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: What was that famous program that was on Netflix about Washington, D.C.?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You remember it was about the intrigue in Washington, D.C.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: What was that, Crash? Art Savant? House of Cards. House
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: of Cards.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: This is Chuck Schumer. He keeps a file on everybody.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, everybody.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: He hires people that do negative research, not just on foes,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: but on friends.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: He's got a file on everybody.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: All you would have to do is speak to Michael Steele,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: who is running for the Senate as a Republican, African-American
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Republican in Maryland, and he will tell you of the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: just negative research that was triggered by the schmuck to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: putz Chuck E.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Cheese Schumer.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So if you try to take him out, he will then,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: through his contacts, begin to filter out in the media
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: very unfavorable stories about you with linkage. some of his research,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and he won't have his fingerprints on it.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: That's his history.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: The problem he has is all the new Democrats want
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: him out.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Here's Troy Jackson.
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Would you support Chuck Schumer for majority leader?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I've already said that I told Senator Schumer that I'm
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: going to support somebody else.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: So it's no different now.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: And Andrews.
• 26:36
  Speaker 12: When you were campaigning, you said, we're not going to
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: vote for Chuck Schumer for majority leader.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: He's going to have a bigger majority now. Do you
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: still have that vote?
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: I still very much believe that it's time for a
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: generational change on both sides.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Of the aisle. Call him if he wins in Mississippi.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: Too many of our leaders are from the same areas
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: of the country. It's not a good thing that both
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Leader Schumer and Leader Jeffries both live in the same borough.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And it goes on and on.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: El Sayed, Tallarico. It's person after person. All the newcomers
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: in want him out. And They have some power now.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: They have some influence over the Democratic Party. So it's
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: going to be fascinating to see what happens. Last week,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I thought there's no way that's going to happen. The
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: cowsheeds on it are like 92 percent. He's going to
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: he's going to win out. I still think in the
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: end he's going to win out, but he's going to
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: have a lot of headwinds.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Larry, when they meet with him, the minority leader, he'll
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: still be the minority leader on their first visit to D.C.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: to acclimate themselves. I'll say you see this file. I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: going to give this to you. It came across my desk. Boy,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I think you would hate to see any of this
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: information see the light of day.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Comprendo?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You think it's going to be that blatant? Oh, he
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: does this all the time. Larry, I've heard the horror stories,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and we're not just talking Republicans. We're talking about fellow Democrats.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio wants you to know about an exciting game on
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football this week. The Buffalo Bills take on
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings in a battle of one-loss teams. That's tonight,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, live from Minneapolis, 8-15, tonight only on ESPN.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I hate to tell you, I told you so.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: So many Republicans who thought there would be a tsunami
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: of Jewish floats coming on over because of Zoran and El-Said.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Ha, ha, ha.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy. Prepare for the obvious. I don't know why
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you even bother knocking yourself out. Jews always vote for Democrats.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Up next.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Well, something wonderful, I believe, happened in Philadelphia over the weekend.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: There was this planned protest by protesters saying they're pro-Palestinian.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: And there's always been this underlying anti-Semitism in all of that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: And they claim, no, no, no, no, no, no, this
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: is about Israel. We're anti-Zionist. We're not anti-Jewish. And yet
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: what they did was protest and called for a boycott
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: of Jewish businesses.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Well, wait a second.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: If you are only anti-Israel, why would you attack Jewish
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: businesses in Philadelphia? And there was a big gathering in
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Rittenhouse Square, which is one of the really nice areas
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: of Philadelphia, one of the one of the business districts.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: It's got a beautiful park in the middle of it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: And a couple of hundred anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic protesters gathered. So
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: you're wondering, what's the wonder part of this? Well, about
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: 500 other protesters gathered. Not all Jewish, just people of faith.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Many of them Jewish, but many of them Catholic, many
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: of them Presbyterian. Just people who are revolted. by the
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: fact that you would attack a business because of the
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: faith of the owner. And not only did they take
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: on the protesters in a counter-protest, but they formed long
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: lines at all the businesses to show their support against
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: the boycott, to make sure that they didn't have a
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: bad day, but they had their best day of the year.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: That's how you deal with it. That's how you deal
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: with it in New York. You don't fight. You don't complain.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: You just get out and spend money and show your support.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: I'm not just talking about the Jewish people in New York.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about the people of faith. Because if this
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: can happen to the Jews, you could be next.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Now, since you mentioned the Jewish vote, how much energy
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was put in by the Republicans who thought, oh, we're
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: going to win the Jewish vote.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: We're going to win.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Ed Cox, who needs to go, state chairman, said we're
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: putting all of our money into converting Jews who are
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Democrats to Republicans.
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: You saw that all across the nation. Well, the facts
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: are in. 68% of Jews across the nation voted for
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the Democrats running. 31% voted for the Republicans running. The
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: only ones higher were Muslims voting for Democrats. So you
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: had the evangelicals who actually increased their support for Republicans
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and the other Protestant Catholics.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Who are a little more for the Dems. So let's
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: look at New York State.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Where Blakeman banked his whole campaign on being.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Pro the Jewish vote. Let's go into every synagogue, every
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: group of Jews, and we will win.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Well, Zeldin, four years ago, who wasn't running on these issues,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: got 47% of the Jewish vote as a Republican candidate
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: against Hochul.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: What do you think Blakeman got? 40%. So I have
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: said consistently, knock yourself out.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Jews are going to vote for Democrats until the day
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: they die. And guess what? Because of that, we now
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: have a new block of votes, Muslims. who are always
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: going to vote for the Democrats. So I told you,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I told you for a long time this would happen,
