• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Extra, extra, hear all about it. All right, emergency update
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: for Wicked Radio. All right, not really an emergency. Not
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: really an update. You've probably heard the news already now,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: but there's always something news in the news cycle coming
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: from the Trump administration. Personalities drive news. It's just the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: thing that happens with them, and there's always something. Susie
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Wiles is out, is the White House Chief of Staff.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Stephen Miller is in. All right, I'm going to be
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: completely honest with you. I... Wanted to do an emergency
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: podcast because I have the perfect Godfather reference for what's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: going on. That's the whole excuse to do it. But
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the more relevant question is, what does this mean? What
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: does it actually mean to you, me, them, her, regular, normal,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: everyday people? But it's actually pretty interesting to me. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the big takeaway is it means Trump is about to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: fight with a wartime consigliere. That's the Godfather reference. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: got that coming up here in a second. Not real
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: actual war time. You know, I don't know. I don't
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: think we're going to war any more than we already have.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to fight for this remaining 60
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: days and especially the next two years. That's what I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: think I mean. Anyway, we're normally live with a live
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: stream with Wicked Radio, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. Eastern
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Time on X YouTube and Facebook and your favorite audio
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: podcast channel. But here's what just happened moments ago in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: real time, which is why I'm doing it this afternoon,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: which is kind of weird for me. But here's Trump
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: himself making the announcement.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Stephen Miller will be the new chief of staff, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Susie's going to go over to the political operation.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: What do you want Stephen Miller to do differently?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Just run things well.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Isn't that what he says here? What do you hope?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Same question. I just wanted to make a change. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: think Susie's done a very good job, great job. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to make it. Stephen's been great. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we've got to make moves.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Sometimes in life you have to make moves.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And this is one of those times. Now consider the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: background here and the circumstances of what's going on here.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Trump loves, and you know how loyal he is to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: people who are loyal to him. I mean, this much
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: we should already know. Loves Susie Wiles. For him to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: make a move, and it's already been reported. You already
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: said you weren't going to fire her. And he's already
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: saying that, no, she's moving to political operations, apparently, whatever
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that means. Because Stephen Miller is a pretty intense dude.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: First of all, here's the big takeaway. This is what
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I mean about Trump being a personality that creates so
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: much news. Case in point, did you or I ever
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: care about a change in chief of staff before this administration?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Be completely honest with yourself. I mean, honestly. Normally, in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: any normal time, this would have been one ear and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: out the other. It's like, half the time, this is
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: why I've always said that Trump administrations are like a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: lesson in civics of who all the cabinet positions are.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I bet you know more about who's running the administration
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: or at least who has those jobs than you ever
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: did before. I do, because he makes it somehow entertaining
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and newsworthy. So normally, a change in chief of staff, eh,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the political wonks would have known. If you're really up
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on the news, you would have known. But Yeah, normally
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: not so much. This is what I mean about this change.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I thought of this reference immediately, and I know you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: did too. Tell me this doesn't remind you of this
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: scene from the garden.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Mike, why am I out? You're not a wartime consigliere, Tom.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Things may get rough with the move we're trying. Tom,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I advise Michael. I never thought you were a bad consigliere, but...
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: There are reasons why he must have no part in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: what is going to happen. Maybe I could help. You're out, Tom.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You're out, Susie. Because things are going to get rough.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: This is the exact reference I was thinking you probably are, too. Actually,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: everybody's made that reference by now. But what's going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: get rough? First of all, we've all clamored for it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You've got two months to wake these useless, stupid, spineless, do-nothing,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: traditional establishment Republicans to do something with the power they have.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Two months. actually less than two months really in real
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: time when you account for vacations, to fill these federal
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: judge vacancies, to get things done, to do what you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: can about the border and election security, for sure, that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: itself is going to be a tough fight. But also
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: beyond this two months when it's just Trump against what
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: could be a very hostile Congress that's going to be,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: as we've joked about, if you're familiar with me on
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the live stream, veto after veto after veto and executive
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: orders even on top of that, Things are going to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: get rough, all right. It's going to be fascinating. All right,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: what's Stephen Miller's reaction to this thing? He just posted
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: this in real time as I'm talking about this here.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: President Trump is the most transformative political leader in American history.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Single-handedly saved America from those who would want to destroy it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's been my privilege of a lifetime to serve, blah, blah, blah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I want to thank the incomparable Susie Wiles for her
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: years of devoted service. Here's the important part. Stephen Miller,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: new chief of staff. A wartime consigliere. The mission now
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: is more clear than ever. Fight, there's that word again,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: with all of our soul to support the president and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: defend this magnificent republic. That's where we are now, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that's why it's newsworthy. So all of you, and I'll
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: consider myself in this camp too, you just saw, you
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: should take the message, you should understand exactly what the country,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: what voters, even your base told you in the midterms,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to fight for the principles that people voted this administration
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in in the first place, and these useless congressional leaders
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: didn't get it done. They may be forced to get
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it done now, Because there's a, again, I'm using finger
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: quotes here if you're listening, wartime consigliere by Trump's side.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It's a fascinating time. All right, completely honest, I just
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to fit that Godfather reference in there. It's the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: perfect opportunity to do it. Thanks for finding me on
