All power flows from the American people, from the people to their duly elected representatives, who they make the stewards of the power and money given to them, to put together a government that actually promotes and protects the interests of the American people every day on every issue. And we've kind of lost sight of that. And Donald Trump's, the great temerity of Donald Trump back in 2016...
was that he kind of showed up and said, hey, I think a government of, by, and for the people should actually promote the American people and their interests. And that's why I think he was considered such a great threat by permanent D.C., the administrative state, however you want to define it. This, to me, is a moment in time where we have a shot.
where we have an actual shot of restoring the Republic, of restoring a government of, for, and by the people, to the people, to promote the people, to protect their interests.
That to me is one of the most interesting things over the next four years, but it's going to require someone like Donald Trump with this political courage instilling into others political courage to actually do the right things. I'm a little nervous about Mike Johnson as speaker. I have my doubts about John Thune.
But I think if he can actually instill the political courage necessary into Republicans on the Hill, but also into his various nominees, who I think will actually have what it takes to do what they should be doing in the various departments and agencies, we could be in for a singular moment in American history in which we look back and go, this was the turning point where we actually began to restore the Republic.
will all of donald trump's nominees be confirmed by the republican senate i feel pretty good about a lot of them i i would not be surprised if pete hegseth gets 52 we'll see much feels that way yeah it feels like he's going to get i'll be a lot more specific they don't like tulsi gabbard they don't like tulsi i think rfk's got some problems um I feel good about Pete. I feel good about Russ Vogt.
I think Russ is going to be one of the most- Russ is great. It's going to be one of the most important. Nobody really talks about OMB outside of DC. I'm telling you, one of the most important vehicles that Donald Trump will be able to use to deconstruct and dismantle the administrative state is OMB. And you got to have somebody like Russ Vogt. Ed Martin's going to be the chief of staff.
Bishop has his deputy. And then I'm hoping he gets Eric Ulanen as deputy director of management. That's a rockstar team at OMB. Marty McCary, FDA. Amazing. Yeah, that would be huge. Paul Atkins at SEC. I feel good about that. So I think a lot of these people are going to... But you can't... I think he's going to get... overwhelming number of them through without too many problems.
I think Tulsi and RFK are going to be question marks, if I'm being honest.
Well, first of all, agent of change. People voted for Donald Trump. Yeah. I mean, this was a very clear election. You get choice A, choice B, very different approaches to government and to the future. There was no real illusion about, like, there's no confusion about what people were voting for. And they voted definitively for Donald Trump.
You know, first Republican to win the popular vote since 2004, first Republican to win 311 electoral votes since 1988, first non-consecutive president since Grover Cleveland. I mean, this is a historical election. He wins. Agent of change. Agent of change gets his change agents. in the various departments and agencies. Well, yeah. And the Senate gets to advise and consent.
They don't get to say, no, we want our buddy or we don't like this person, so we're not going to give you this person. Donald Trump won. Donald Trump won and also, by the way, I would make the argument, help get them the Senate and the House. So you have majorities because of Donald Trump. Donald Trump won. Donald Trump would like these people to actually be in these departments and agencies.
And unless they're a criminal or unless there's some terrible thing in their past that is disqualifying, you get to confirm them.
You've been in D.C. I've been around 25 years.
I have proposed to some people behind the scenes that Donald Trump should have a very honest conversation with some of these senators. You have friends and family and associates that would like to be involved in this administration. Some of you have primaries in 2026. Let me be very clear here. If you oppose or vote against any of my nominees... I will find primary opponents for you in 26.
Also, none of your family or friends or associates will ever find a job inside of this administration. I will become one of your worst enemies.
I think they're using... Like, let's not play.
I think they're trying the carrot approach right now, and I'm...
I'm usually the stick approach first. Yeah. So I'd really like the big stick to come out. Let's see how these hearings begin in really just a couple days, how they start to play out. But I think there needs to be a conversation behind the scenes of, you know, we'd love for you to do the right thing. And if you don't, there are going to be serious consequences.
But imagine— Because most of these elected officials— This is one thing that I've noticed about DC having been there for way too long. They are experts in self-preservation. Yeah. They want to come back. That's what they care about. Right. They want to come back in two years as a member of the House. They want to come back in six years as a member of the Senate.
