Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Trump Takes Out the Deep State Trash
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: There is no other way to put it, but just
- 0:03Speaker 1: to say it this way. It has been a deep
- 0:06Speaker 1: state blood bath in the past twenty four hours, as
- 0:11Speaker 1: Donald Trump is paying off in a way that I'm
- 0:14Speaker 1: not even sure the deep state could have imagined. All
- 0:18Speaker 1: federal prosecutors handling January six cases have been fired, Computers
- 0:23Speaker 1: have been locked and marched out of their offices by security.
- 0:28Speaker 1: David Sundberg, the FBI assistant director at the helm of
- 0:33Speaker 1: the January six investigations, has also been fired. Twenty leaders
- 0:40Speaker 1: of the FBI field offices have been escorted out of
- 0:44Speaker 1: the FBI buildings around the country. Fifty one intelligence officers
- 0:51Speaker 1: who spread misinformation about the Hunter Biden laptop and interfered
- 0:57Speaker 1: in elections are now banned from entering federal properties. I'm
- 1:03Speaker 1: going to say that again, the fifty one people that
- 1:06Speaker 1: signed the letter to the American people right before election
- 1:10Speaker 1: day in twenty twenty who said that the Hunter Byden
- 1:14Speaker 1: laptop wasn't real, and they knew it was not only real,
- 1:17Speaker 1: but have been authenticated by the FBI, and they lied
- 1:21Speaker 1: to you and said it was Russian disinformation all the
- 1:24Speaker 1: markings of Russian disinformation. Those fifty one intelligence officers who
- 1:29Speaker 1: spread that misinformation about that Hunter Byden laptop have now
- 1:33Speaker 1: been banned from entering federal properties. That is unbelievable and
- 1:39Speaker 1: I'm not saying it in a bad way. I'm saying
- 1:42Speaker 1: it in a great way. Federal employees are also now
- 1:47Speaker 1: required to return to the office, with non compliance leading
- 1:52Speaker 1: to termination. John Bolton and John Brennan have been permanently
- 2:00Speaker 1: ban from government buildings. That is a huge step to
- 2:05Speaker 1: destroy the deep state and the swamp. Gerald Harold Rogers
- 2:09Speaker 1: has been indicted for compromising US trade secrets to China.
- 2:16Speaker 2: That happening over the last twenty four hours.
- 2:20Speaker 1: They've also moved to ban all the use of all
- 2:25Speaker 1: these pronouns, like you're like, what are your pronouns right
- 2:30Speaker 1: in government communication? So you're not going to have your
- 2:33Speaker 1: pronouns as he him or she whatever, like they're like
- 2:37Speaker 1: them they all that crap. Yeah, ban on all use
- 2:40Speaker 1: of pronouns in government communications is in effect right now.
- 2:45Speaker 1: All two million Feds were sent a resignation offer, meaning
- 2:51Speaker 1: if you want to get out, get out now while
- 2:54Speaker 1: you still can. This is another way of draining the swamp,
- 2:59Speaker 1: this perd and that is exactly what it is. Marks
- 3:03Speaker 1: the beginning of the end for the corrupt tyrants the
- 3:06Speaker 1: deep state in Washington, DC. In my opinion, we're eleven
- 3:11Speaker 1: twelve days in and the swamp is literally being drained.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Before our very eyes.
- 3:18Speaker 1: You want to know what a bloodbath looks like, This
- 3:20Speaker 1: is exactly what a blood bath looks like. There's also
- 3:24Speaker 1: something else about this that is really interesting, and that
- 3:27Speaker 1: is how the deep state, i believe, didn't actually realize
- 3:31Speaker 1: this was going to happen, didn't see it coming. They
- 3:36Speaker 1: were in shock by just how focused Donald Trump was
- 3:40Speaker 1: and the team around him. The team around him had
- 3:42Speaker 1: clearly been planning for this. They knew what they were doing,
- 3:46Speaker 1: they understood why they were doing it, and they understood
- 3:49Speaker 1: that they were going to pay off to the American
- 3:51Speaker 1: people about giving their government back to the people instead
- 3:54Speaker 1: of the swamp, the deep state that was lying to
- 3:57Speaker 1: the American people so often. This is one of those
- 4:01Speaker 1: moments where it could be one of the biggest changes
- 4:07Speaker 1: pivots u turns in modern political history within our deep state.
- 4:13Speaker 2: This is one of those moments.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Where you should remember when it happened and where it happened,
- 4:21Speaker 1: because you're gonna have a lot of great people now
- 4:24Speaker 1: that are gonna be able to get great jobs serving
- 4:27Speaker 1: their country instead of undermining their country. You're gonna have
- 4:31Speaker 1: the opportunity now for the President of the United States America
- 4:34Speaker 1: put great men and women into different positions who genuinely
- 4:38Speaker 1: are serving their president instead of undermining their president every
- 4:44Speaker 1: chance they get.
- 4:47Speaker 2: We also have the end of DEI in our federal government.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Even on HBO's Real Time, Bill Maher said that DEI
- 4:57Speaker 1: just went too far.
- 5:00Speaker 2: It's the problem we had.
- 5:02Speaker 1: DEI Diversity, equity and inclusion went too far, and now
- 5:08Speaker 1: you're seeing a pendulum swing going back the other way. Now,
- 5:13Speaker 1: I look at all of what I just described to
- 5:15Speaker 1: you and all of this winning, and I'm obviously very
- 5:19Speaker 1: happy about it. And the reason why is because I
- 5:22Speaker 1: think what we're noticing, what we're witnessing, what we're seeing
- 5:25Speaker 1: is that we are looking and watching and witnessing a mandate.
- 5:30Speaker 2: And what is that mandate?
- 5:32Speaker 1: That's the big question that everybody should be asking themselves.
- 5:35Speaker 1: What is the mandate that we are looking at right now?
- 5:39Speaker 1: This mandate is actually a very simple one. This mandate
- 5:43Speaker 1: is a mandate to break the system, to destroy the system,
- 5:48Speaker 1: to shred the system. It is to break every part
- 5:53Speaker 1: of government and rebuild it. Because this government got too big.
- 5:58Speaker 1: It stopped listening to the people. It stopped supporting the people,
- 6:02Speaker 1: It stopped respecting the people.
- 6:05Speaker 2: It stopped respecting the.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Men and women that go to work every day and
- 6:09Speaker 1: then pay taxes to a government that is incredibly self
- 6:13Speaker 1: serving and massively oversized and bloated. The Department of Agriculture
- 6:20Speaker 1: has also ordered that all references to climate change be
- 6:25Speaker 1: removed from their website by the end of the day,
- 6:29Speaker 1: and this was last week. The green news scam is
- 6:33Speaker 1: clearly up. That is another example of what winning actually
- 6:39Speaker 1: looks like, what winning actually sounds like. We are witnessing
- 6:44Speaker 1: victories right now that I didn't even imagine.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You go through the list that I just gave you,
- 6:51Speaker 2: and you look.
- 6:52Speaker 1: At federal employees being told to remove pronouns from their
- 6:55Speaker 1: email signatures by the end of the day. The mandate
- 6:57Speaker 1: is the latest effort for Trump administration, and they're pushed
- 7:01Speaker 1: to NDI they had a plan, folks, they had a plan.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I put up a comment on Facebook or x I
- 7:10Speaker 1: think it was Thursday, Friday, and I said, Trump is
- 7:13Speaker 1: moving so fast. Democrats can't even remember all the things
- 7:17Speaker 1: are supposed to be angry about. There is a lot
- 7:20Speaker 1: of truth to that. Donald Trump is saying, I listen
- 7:24Speaker 1: to the people. They gave me a mandate and I'm
- 7:28Speaker 1: not holding back, and I'm going to do it. I
- 7:30Speaker 1: never have to run for re election again. I know
- 7:33Speaker 1: why I'm here. I know what the American people told
- 7:36Speaker 1: me to do. I mean, now, look at Trump signing
- 7:38Speaker 1: the executive order to use Guantanamo Bay to hold over
- 7:43Speaker 1: thirty thousand illegal aliens. Now, there were people by the
- 7:48Speaker 1: way that said, oh, well, this is just smoking mirrors.
- 7:51Speaker 2: It'll never happen.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a lot of people that said that
- 7:55Speaker 1: the President has already sent hundreds of men and women
- 7:59Speaker 1: in the mill at Terry to get mo ordering it
- 8:02Speaker 1: over the weekend for what reason to get it ready.
- 8:06Speaker 2: You think he's joking. He is not joking.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Want to talk about Israel for a second and say
- 8:13Speaker 1: thank you to so many of you that have stood
- 8:15Speaker 1: up with the people in Israel and for more than
- 8:18Speaker 1: a year of war, they've been dealing with it, terror
- 8:21Speaker 1: and pain in Israel. There's still a great demand for
- 8:24Speaker 1: basic humanitarian aid. That is where the International Fellowship of
- 8:29Speaker 1: Christians and Jews has supported and continues to support those
- 8:33Speaker 1: in the Holy Land still facing the lingering horrors of war,
- 8:37Speaker 1: and those who are desperate for need right now. Your
- 8:40Speaker 1: gift today will provide critically needed aid communities in the
- 8:45Speaker 1: North and South that have been devastated by the ongoing war.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Your generous donation will help deliver food for those in need,
- 8:52Speaker 1: including evacuees and refugees from war torn areas, first responders
- 8:57Speaker 1: and volunteers, wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors, and families who
- 9:02Speaker 1: have lost everything in so many more. You can give
- 9:06Speaker 1: hope during a time of great uncertainty. So give a
- 9:09Speaker 1: gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting SUPPORTIFCJ
- 9:15Speaker 1: dot org. That's one word, support, IFCJ dot org. Or
- 9:21Speaker 1: you can call them eight a eight for eight eight
- 9:24Speaker 1: IFCJ that's eight eight eight four eight eight, IFCJ eighty
- 9:30Speaker 1: eight four eight eight four three two five or support
- 9:33Speaker 1: IFCJ dot org. Now, the question, obviously you have to
- 9:38Speaker 1: ask yourself, with all this winning in the last week
- 9:40Speaker 1: and a half, is what are Democrats doing to try
- 9:43Speaker 1: to ruin this parade?
- 9:45Speaker 2: Well, look no further.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Than the Democrats on TV for their new talking points Uh,
- 9:51Speaker 1: this crazy liberal woman by the name of Julie Rasinski.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I've had to deal with her on TV a few times.
- 9:57Speaker 1: She wants you to know, America, that you should be
- 9:59Speaker 1: angry about what Donald Trump's doing because well, she says, now,
- 10:04Speaker 1: the price of apples going up are the fault of
- 10:06Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and that's why you should be angry.
- 10:10Speaker 2: On NBC, apples.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Have gone up every single week that he's been in office.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Where are the Democrats talking about that? Where are they
- 10:16Speaker 3: talking about the pricing preece? I mean, the fundamental easy lobs. Again,
- 10:21Speaker 3: this is not swinging at every pitch from some ace pitcher.
- 10:25Speaker 3: This is literally reminding the American people what was promised
- 10:28Speaker 3: to them and what is being delivered. And yet there
- 10:31Speaker 3: seem to be somehow and I don't know where they are,
- 10:33Speaker 3: but wherever they are, they're not out here talking about
- 10:35Speaker 3: it the way you are, the way Alexandro Casio Cortez.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Is, the way Senator Widen is.
- 10:39Speaker 3: These are the leaders of the Democratic Party is looking
- 10:42Speaker 3: to and they're absent. And if you're listening to me,
- 10:45Speaker 3: I'm begging you on behalf of the grassroots of this party,
- 10:49Speaker 3: please come out of your hiding hole. Because we need you,
- 10:52Speaker 3: and if you're not going to do it, get out
- 10:53Speaker 3: of the way and let others lead.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Please, yes, let others lead.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Now, to be clear what this logic is that she's
- 10:59Speaker 1: using a shit's saying the day that Donald Trump became president,
- 11:02Speaker 1: the cost of the apples should have gone down. And
- 11:06Speaker 1: there was another argument the other day about bananas. I'm
- 11:11Speaker 1: actually not kidding. I love that this is where the
- 11:15Speaker 1: Democratic Party is. I really am the fact that they're
- 11:19Speaker 1: out there yelling about apples and demanding the price of
- 11:24Speaker 1: apples go down.
- 11:25Speaker 2: They didn't care about the.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Price of anything until January the twentieth.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Let's be honest.
- 11:32Speaker 1: They didn't care about the price of any product, good,
- 11:37Speaker 1: or service at all. Okay, at all until Donald Trump
- 11:45Speaker 1: was inaugurated. And now they're like, well, you should be
- 11:48Speaker 1: lowering the prices right away. You guys didn't ask Joe
- 11:51Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris to lower the price one time
- 11:53Speaker 1: on any goods or services as inflation with skyrocketing.
- 11:58Speaker 2: The second part.
- 11:58Speaker 1: About this is I think the American people are actually
- 12:01Speaker 1: smarter now than ever of the lies coming from the media.
- 12:07Speaker 1: Like I think there's a lot of Americans that roll
- 12:09Speaker 1: their eyes when they see this type of rhetoric on TV,
- 12:12Speaker 1: because they're like, are you insane?
- 12:14Speaker 2: Like are you crazy? Like like how dumb are you?
- 12:21Speaker 1: We all know that the price of apples being up
- 12:23Speaker 1: for twelve days is it has nothing to do with
- 12:28Speaker 1: Donald Trump right now and had everything to do with
- 12:31Speaker 1: the price is continuing to go up. And now he's
- 12:33Speaker 1: inherited a problem and he's going to fix the problem.
- 12:36Speaker 1: But if you think the price of apples is going
- 12:38Speaker 1: to go down, like I don't know, like and what
- 12:40Speaker 1: and how much did you want it to go down?
- 12:42Speaker 1: Five cents, ten cents, twenty cents, you guys were Let's
- 12:47Speaker 1: go back to eggs. Eggs was another big one, and
- 12:51Speaker 1: they just flat out lied about it. I talked about
- 12:54Speaker 1: this on TV the other day with Harris Faulkner on
- 12:57Speaker 1: Fox News Channel on her show, and I'm they know
- 13:01Speaker 1: what's going on with egg prices. There are states like
- 13:05Speaker 1: California that banned caged hens.
- 13:09Speaker 2: You gotta have them cage free. What did that do?
- 13:11Speaker 1: Made the price of eggs skyrocket? The price to produce
- 13:18Speaker 1: and to deliver and to ship as skyrocketed because of
- 13:21Speaker 1: high energy costs because of the attacks on.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Oil by the left.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Now if the American people believe that Donald Trump is
- 13:29Speaker 1: gonna have the price of eggs lowered in twenty four hours,
- 13:32Speaker 1: and I don't believe the American people believe that. I
- 13:34Speaker 1: think they knew it took time to go up and
- 13:35Speaker 1: it's gonna take time for these prices to come down
- 13:37Speaker 1: when you implement your policies. But again, Democrats didn't care
- 13:41Speaker 1: about the price of eggs.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Until January the twentieth.
- 13:45Speaker 1: They never had a problem with the price that you
- 13:47Speaker 1: were paying when they were in charge. But now that
- 13:49Speaker 1: they're not in charge, they're angry now that you are
- 13:51Speaker 1: now that they're not in charge, are like, all right, well,
- 13:53Speaker 1: we demand egg prices go down right now and apple
- 13:57Speaker 1: prices right now. But NTI price is right now, like
- 13:59Speaker 1: we demand it right now, full stop. There's also other
- 14:02Speaker 1: Democrats that are just trying to go back to the
- 14:06Speaker 1: old playbook, right which is your racist or your evil
- 14:09Speaker 1: or your hitler. They're doing a lot of that on
- 14:12Speaker 1: MSNBC right now. I also don't believe it's actually going
- 14:16Speaker 1: to work. Why are they angry and going back to
- 14:19Speaker 1: calling Donald Trump evil and hitler and all of the
- 14:22Speaker 1: people around him the same thing? Because The New York
- 14:26Speaker 1: Times reported over the weekend that Elon Musk and his
- 14:30Speaker 1: team at DOGE had gained access to Treasuries payment system.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Now what does that mean.
- 14:35Speaker 1: It means you're gonna get see where the money's going
- 14:37Speaker 1: for the first time in all of our lifetimes. We're
- 14:39Speaker 1: going to actually know and find out just how corrupt
- 14:42Speaker 1: our government really is and how many people were hooking
- 14:45Speaker 1: up their aunts and uncles and cousins and sisters and
- 14:47Speaker 1: brothers with these contracts and at these absorbent prices that
- 14:51Speaker 1: they were paying because of their friends who are lobbyists,
- 14:54Speaker 1: who would then make money for them and give them
- 14:55Speaker 1: fundraisers and then get them re elected. Right, the members
- 14:58Speaker 1: of Congress were We're about to have the vault door
- 15:03Speaker 1: open to the secrets of government, and Elon Musk team
- 15:07Speaker 1: gaining access to the Treasury's payment system is massive. We're
- 15:10Speaker 1: gonna see billions of dollars of abuse and waste and fraud. So,
- 15:16Speaker 1: while that story is breaking, do you want to know
- 15:18Speaker 1: what MSNBC said about Donald Trump? This is what they
- 15:23Speaker 1: said about Donald Trump.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Let me to the.
- 15:26Speaker 4: Fact that you are also a member of the Judiciary Committee,
- 15:29Speaker 4: and since Donald Trump took office, multiple top FBI officials
- 15:33Speaker 4: and federal prosecutors who all worked on January six cases.
- 15:36Speaker 2: They're out of a job.
- 15:38Speaker 4: And now the DOJ wants names of those who worked
- 15:40Speaker 4: on the Trump or January six investigations for possible firing.
- 15:45Speaker 4: What do you make of this appearent cleansing?
- 15:49Speaker 1: I mean, I love how they call it a cleansing.
- 15:52Speaker 1: What do you make of this cleansing? If you're being
- 15:55Speaker 1: intellectually honest, you know what you would say. You would say, well,
- 15:58Speaker 1: this was the American mual voted for. They voted for
- 16:01Speaker 1: all these peo to lose their jobs, and now Donald
- 16:03Speaker 1: Trump's paying off. But that, of course is not what
- 16:05Speaker 1: NBC's going to tell you.
- 16:06Speaker 5: And you just called it what it is. It's a cleansing.
- 16:09Speaker 5: I mean, this is Listen. When Democrats got out there
- 16:13Speaker 5: and we said that our democracy was really at risk,
- 16:16Speaker 5: people were like, oh, Democrats, you're out there, you're gas lighting.
- 16:20Speaker 5: It's not our democracy. Well, he did say he'd be
- 16:23Speaker 5: a dictator on day one. Oh Democrats, you know, it's
- 16:26Speaker 5: just Trump.
- 16:27Speaker 2: He just talks.
- 16:28Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you something he is doing more
- 16:30Speaker 5: than talking. We talked about Project twenty twenty five. We
- 16:33Speaker 5: talked about the consolidation of power. We talked about how
- 16:36Speaker 5: he wanted to be a king. We talked about in
- 16:39Speaker 5: a democratic republic, that is not what it is. We
- 16:41Speaker 5: have some sort of checks and balances, and he is
- 16:45Speaker 5: doing everything that he can to get rid of those
- 16:47Speaker 5: checks and balances. The DOJ and the people that he's
- 16:50Speaker 5: going after were simply doing their jobs. The problem is
- 16:53Speaker 5: that Americans thought that it was okay to take a
- 16:57Speaker 5: full fledged criminal and make him the president of the
- 17:00Speaker 5: United States, and then they want to act a guess
- 17:04Speaker 5: when he does criminal things.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Right, by the way, who's a guest. We elected Donald Trump.
- 17:10Speaker 1: And you notice this congresswoman. She's now yelling at the
- 17:12Speaker 1: people that vote for her and the American people that
- 17:14Speaker 1: vote for Donald Trump because.
- 17:16Speaker 2: They hate you. They didn't learn a damn thing from
- 17:18Speaker 2: this election.
- 17:18Speaker 1: And I mean it sincerely when I say this, thank you,
- 17:21Speaker 1: thank you for being so stupid that you didn't learn
- 17:24Speaker 1: anything from losing.
- 17:26Speaker 2: You want to know why they're so angry.
- 17:27Speaker 1: At you because you didn't listen to them when they
- 17:31Speaker 1: were destroying this country, and you didn't let them destroy
- 17:34Speaker 1: it to the point where socialism, Marxism, and communism were
- 17:37Speaker 1: running America. Let me also say this, the DOGE team discovered,
- 17:41Speaker 1: among other things, that payment approval officers at the Treasury
- 17:46Speaker 1: this is coming directly from El Musk, were instructed always
- 17:51Speaker 1: to approve payments even to known.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Fraudulent or terrorist groups.
- 17:58Speaker 1: They literally never denied a p in their entire career,
- 18:01Speaker 1: not even once. That is what DOE has found out
- 18:05Speaker 1: about the payment approval of officers at the Treasury Department.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Never did they say no to anything. Ever.
- 18:12Speaker 1: I want to tell you about our friends over at
- 18:14Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. While we may have won the election, the
- 18:17Speaker 1: fight to restore our great nation is only beginning, and
- 18:20Speaker 1: now is the time for you to take a stand
- 18:22Speaker 1: with your dollars. And Patriot Mobile is leading the charge
- 18:26Speaker 1: with conservative companies that are fighting back. They are America's
- 18:30Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider.
- 18:32Speaker 2: I use them.
- 18:33Speaker 1: I know hundreds of others that use them personally, family friends,
- 18:37Speaker 1: business owners that I know have switched to Patriot Mobile
- 18:40Speaker 1: because they offer a way to vote with your wallet
- 18:44Speaker 1: without compromising on quality or convenience. You may not know,
- 18:47Speaker 1: but Big Mobile gives big donations to democratic causes, candidates
- 18:52Speaker 1: and organizations. Radical organizations, including those that advocate support and
- 18:57Speaker 1: pay for abortions.
- 18:58Speaker 2: That is why I'm.
- 19:00Speaker 1: Made the switch to Patriot Mobile, because Patriot Mobile isn't
- 19:03Speaker 1: just about providing exceptional cell phone service. It's a call
- 19:07Speaker 1: to action to defend our rights and freedoms. With Patriot Mobile,
- 19:10Speaker 1: every time you pay your bill, you are giving back
- 19:13Speaker 1: to causes that sent up for our First and our
- 19:15Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, the sanctity of life, as well as
- 19:18Speaker 1: standing with our veterans, our wounded warriors, and our first responders.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Now, switching is easy.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Keep your same number, keep your same phone you have,
- 19:26Speaker 1: or upgrade to a new one. They have a one

- 19:55Speaker 1: put out in his tweet was another statement about this
- 20:01Speaker 1: money that they're tracking and they're now getting to see
- 20:03Speaker 1: where your money's being wasted. We now have found out
- 20:07Speaker 1: that the highest ranking Treasury official is resigning rather than
- 20:12Speaker 1: to comply with a request from the DOGE office to
- 20:16Speaker 1: act for access to audit where they spent trillions of
- 20:21Speaker 1: dollars a year. Now you may have to ask yourself
- 20:24Speaker 1: this question out loud. I'm going to ask it with you.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Why would a career bureaucrat fear an audit by Elon
- 20:29Speaker 1: Musk and DOGE to see where we could save money? Hey,
- 20:33Speaker 1: we want to have an audit of where the trillions
- 20:35Speaker 1: of dollars are going. I'm going to resign. Wait what,
- 20:38Speaker 1: You're a career person at the Treasury Department. You're the
- 20:41Speaker 1: highest ranking Treasury official. I mean, you got six trillion
- 20:45Speaker 1: that runs through a computerized payment platform, and we're being
- 20:50Speaker 1: told that the senior Treasury official didn't have any good
- 20:53Speaker 1: things to say about the department's leadership under Joe Biden.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Right.
- 20:56Speaker 1: So that was in one of those undercover Project Veritas
- 20:59Speaker 1: video back in the day, Treasury officials told their report
- 21:03Speaker 1: that the department's leadership was selected for dei reasons and
- 21:07Speaker 1: that they quote don't do smart things. That was from
- 21:11Speaker 1: undercover video so he's saying, I want to look at
- 21:15Speaker 1: this and I want to see what's going on.
- 21:18Speaker 2: Nope, I'm going to resign. I'd rather resign than comply
- 21:20Speaker 2: with you.
- 21:21Speaker 1: The payment approval officers at the Treasury were instructed always
- 21:26Speaker 1: to approve payments, even to known fraudulent.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Or terrorist groups.
- 21:32Speaker 1: They never deny a payment in their entire career, not
- 21:34Speaker 1: even once. And you want to know why, because they said,
- 21:37Speaker 1: whatever comes through our door.
- 21:39Speaker 2: You pay it. I wonder why could it be?
- 21:44Speaker 1: Maybe because there's so much abuse of power and waste
- 21:48Speaker 1: and fraud and government hookups with donors. Could that be
- 21:53Speaker 1: the reason why this is happening right now?
- 21:56Speaker 2: Yes? Why would you resign.
- 21:59Speaker 1: When you're asked to tell people what's happening or where
- 22:02Speaker 1: their money went, Because you know how damning the evidence
- 22:05Speaker 1: is against you.
- 22:06Speaker 2: You know that you're not going to keep your.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Job, So you say, instead of complying, I'm going to leave,
- 22:14Speaker 1: I'm going to get out of here. And then what
- 22:17Speaker 1: do you say on TV? You say that we have
- 22:19Speaker 1: a thug in charge? Right, Donald Trump is a thug.
- 22:23Speaker 1: That's what MSNBC says this week. He's a thug.
- 22:26Speaker 5: Let me tell you we have a thug in charge
- 22:29Speaker 5: of the United States, and if we don't wake up,
- 22:33Speaker 5: we may not have a United States because right now
- 22:36Speaker 5: he has only been successful in being a divider in chief.
- 22:41Speaker 2: There it is MSNBC. We have a thug in chief.
- 22:45Speaker 1: We're going to bring on a liberal Democrat woman to
- 22:47Speaker 1: yell about Donald Trump and tell you that.
- 22:50Speaker 2: We have a thug in chief. What else do you
- 22:54Speaker 2: need to hear?
- 22:54Speaker 1: Right, We're going to go back the same attacks on
- 22:57Speaker 1: Donald Trump that we did before.
- 23:00Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna do.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Democrat representative points the finger at Trump on the deadly
- 23:05Speaker 1: plane crash, saying it's his fault, not the I, not understaffing,
- 23:11Speaker 1: not Joe Biden, not Kamway Harris. No, no, it's Donald
- 23:15Speaker 1: Trump's fault that a plane crashed in Washington, d c.
- 23:20Speaker 2: And why well, we don't have to have a reason.
- 23:23Speaker 6: The buck stops with the president. There is no warm
- 23:25Speaker 6: up period for the President of the United States. There's
- 23:28Speaker 6: no warmer president period for the cabinet. He is the
- 23:33Speaker 6: president of the United States. He has a cabinet that's
- 23:35Speaker 6: in place. If he wants to take responsibility for a
- 23:39Speaker 6: raft of illegal executive orders, he better take responsibility for
- 23:44Speaker 6: being the president and being in charge when a plane
- 23:47Speaker 6: goes down in Washington, d c. And it's as simple
- 23:53Speaker 6: as that, it's on him, and it's on his shoulders.
- 23:57Speaker 2: It's on him. Folks.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Do you know what the Democrats are doing the day
- 24:02Speaker 1: that that plane crash happened. They were doing everything they
- 24:05Speaker 1: could just stop Donald Trump's cabinet nominations. In fact, they
- 24:09Speaker 1: had delayed important nominations like Sean Duffy, he was now
- 24:15Speaker 1: in charge of transportation. When was he sworn in a
- 24:20Speaker 1: couple hours before the plane went down. You know what
- 24:24Speaker 1: he was doing for the very first time when the
- 24:27Speaker 1: plane was crashing. He was going to his office to
- 24:31Speaker 1: see where he worked for the very first time after
- 24:33Speaker 1: being sworn in. And they're like, well, this is Donald
- 24:37Speaker 1: Trump's fault.
- 24:38Speaker 2: It's on him.
- 24:40Speaker 1: We're not gonna look at the fact they were understaff.
- 24:42Speaker 1: We're not gonna look at the fact there was one
- 24:44Speaker 1: person that was running planes and helicopters that night when
- 24:47Speaker 1: normally there's two. We're not gonna look at the fact
- 24:49Speaker 1: that they were hiring based on DEI everything. No, we're
- 24:55Speaker 1: not gonna do that. But we're gonna blame him now
- 24:57Speaker 1: because he's in charge. So this is somehow his fault,
- 25:00Speaker 1: and the media is going to keep running with this.
- 25:03Speaker 2: They feel like this plane crash somehow.
- 25:05Speaker 1: If they all say it long enough, then it'll be
- 25:08Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault. Senator Kelly attacking Donald Trump on Meet
- 25:13Speaker 1: the Press, saying this about Donald Trump.
- 25:16Speaker 7: Welcome back and joining me now is Democratic Senator Mark
- 25:19Speaker 7: Kelly of Arizona. Senator Kelly, welcome back to.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Meet the Press.
- 25:23Speaker 8: Good morning, Kristin.
- 25:24Speaker 2: It's great to have you back.
- 25:26Speaker 7: I do have to start again on this tragic news
- 25:29Speaker 7: about this plane crash here in the nation's capital. You,
- 25:33Speaker 7: of course, have flown combat missions as a Navy pilot.
- 25:37Speaker 7: You just heard my conversation with Senator Schmidt responding to
- 25:42Speaker 7: what we heard from President Trump this week that diversity programs,
- 25:46Speaker 7: according to the President, may have played a role. The
- 25:48Speaker 7: President acknowledging he does not have proof of that. What
- 25:53Speaker 7: is your take on what we know and what you've.
- 25:56Speaker 8: Heard, Well, Kristen, first, it's a tragic, insane accident. I
- 26:01Speaker 8: really feel for the families on the plane, on the helicopter.
- 26:04Speaker 8: It's you know, you know, these accidents are all often
- 26:09Speaker 8: very complicated. A set of things that happen Sequentially, it's
- 26:15Speaker 8: often not one thing that causes a major aviation accident
- 26:18Speaker 8: like this. I've been involved in accident investigations, particularly like
- 26:23Speaker 8: with the with Space Shuttle Columbia, you know as an
- 26:26Speaker 8: example that we lost.
- 26:27Speaker 2: In two thousand and three.
- 26:29Speaker 8: And to say that it has to do with the
- 26:32Speaker 8: person's color of their skin or their gender, I think
- 26:37Speaker 8: that's just poor leadership, and especially at a time where
- 26:42Speaker 8: any president is supposed to be the consoler in chief
- 26:46Speaker 8: and not the person that's going to try to divide
- 26:49Speaker 8: us as a country, especially when you don't have the
- 26:53Speaker 8: appropriate information, and he clearly does not have the information
- 26:56Speaker 8: in this case.
- 26:56Speaker 1: By the way, Donald Trump made it very clear he
- 26:59Speaker 1: was asking the questions that everybody else is asking. Were
- 27:02Speaker 1: we running an agency the correct way to keep everybody
- 27:05Speaker 1: safe in the air? Were running a agency where we
- 27:09Speaker 1: put diversity, equity, inclusion ahead of the American people's safety.
- 27:15Speaker 2: That's the question he was asking.
- 27:19Speaker 1: And we found out that they were understaff that night
- 27:21Speaker 1: in that tower. We don't know if DEI played into
- 27:27Speaker 1: the plane crash, but it's absolutely okay to ask that question.
- 27:33Speaker 2: It is not a crazy question to ask.
- 27:37Speaker 1: In fact, I think many would believe that that is
- 27:39Speaker 1: a question that you should ask, how did this happen?
- 27:43Speaker 1: Why did this happen? Tell us why it happened, tell
- 27:46Speaker 1: us how it happened. Was this because we decided to
- 27:50Speaker 1: go ahead and put the color of someone's skin or
- 27:53Speaker 1: their sexuality ahead of what is really important, and that
- 27:59Speaker 1: is are you the most qualified for the job? By
- 28:01Speaker 1: the way, I don't care if every air traffic control
- 28:03Speaker 1: is a woman, if that they're the best ones. I
- 28:05Speaker 1: don't care if every pilot of a Blackhawk is a woman,
- 28:09Speaker 1: as long as they're the best one. I don't care
- 28:10Speaker 1: if they're all African Americans only are the best ones?
- 28:12Speaker 1: Or Asian American or Hispanic American or or white. I
- 28:15Speaker 1: don't care as long as they're the most qualified. But
- 28:20Speaker 1: you go back to what the job posting said, and
- 28:24Speaker 1: what did the job posting say for FAA, it was, Hey,
- 28:28Speaker 1: we don't care if you got like mental health issues.
- 28:30Speaker 1: We don't care if you're like crazy, We don't care
- 28:33Speaker 1: what problems you have.
- 28:35Speaker 2: We are more than.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Happy, We are more than happy to have you apply,
- 28:42Speaker 1: because we are about DEI before anything else. And Donald
- 28:49Speaker 1: Trump brings it up and then people like, oh my gosh,
- 28:51Speaker 1: he shouldn't have said that he's the commander in chief,
- 28:53Speaker 1: he needs to act like and he needs to take
- 28:55Speaker 1: the moral high ground here. No, there's a lot of
- 28:57Speaker 1: people that are dead, folks. There are awful lot of
- 29:00Speaker 1: people that are dead. The question is was it just
- 29:04Speaker 1: an accident that night or did this accent happen long
- 29:08Speaker 1: before that night. Because the hiring practices of a federal
- 29:13Speaker 1: government that put competency in last place, and the sexuality
- 29:18Speaker 1: of a person or how they identified themselves or the
- 29:22Speaker 1: color of their skin or their actual sex ahead of
- 29:28Speaker 1: how actually good they should be or would be at
- 29:31Speaker 1: their job, there is a huge difference, folks in those
- 29:36Speaker 1: two things. Don't forget to share this podcast wherever you
- 29:40Speaker 1: can on social media, and I will see you back
- 29:42Speaker 1: here tomorrow
