Chapter 2: Why are Republican senators blocking Trump's Federal Reserve nominees?

29.242 - 49.002 Unknown

Ja yhdet pinnat jästä sentään. Lidlissä vasta halpaa on. Lidl. Halvimpia hintoja jo vuodesta 2002. Ja edelleen halvin. Lidl. Se kannattaa.

Republicans are starting to tell Donald Trump no, at least some of them. Two Republican senators are going to block every single Trump nominee to the Federal Reserve because of his politicized probe into Jerome Powell. Then we're going to talk about maybe one of the most disturbing things you'll see today, which is Trump's top defense official melting down on stage and then announcing that Elon Musk's Grok AI

95.797 - 120.4 David Pakman

will be inside the Pentagon Network. Could this possibly be a good idea? Caroline Levitt resurfaces with maybe her worst and most humiliating public appearance yet admits far more than she probably intended to, including threats, smears and chilling rhetoric. We're also going to look at the slurping

0

120.4 - 140.279 David Pakman

If you don't know what this is about, it's disturbing. Make sure you're not eating during that segment. And finally, Democratic lawmakers are finally going to move forward to try to impeach Kristi Noem after disaster after disaster involving the Department of Homeland Security. All of that and so much more.

147.147 - 172.358 David Pakman

All right. What a show today. Before I forget, if you live in Lisbon, Portugal, either because that's where you're from or you've moved there, including from the United States or from some other place. I've got some stuff coming up in Lisbon. I would love to connect with some of the folks in the audience who are there. So shoot me an email info at David Pakman dot com. That's Lisbon, Portugal.

Chapter 3: What controversial statements did Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth make?

172.358 - 195.595 David Pakman

All right. There are some Republicans starting to tell Donald Trump. No, we have two Republican senators who are now going to block Donald Trump's nominees to the Federal Reserve because the Justice Department, as I told you yesterday, launched this criminal investigation targeting the Fed chairman Jerome Powell. They are calling it exactly what it is. Coercion.

0

195.595 - 213.23 David Pakman

Ensimmäisenä on Tom Tillis, joka, muun muassa, ei ole valmistunut uudistamiseen, joten hän on positiivisessa, jossa hän voi tehdä tätä. Tillis antoi, että hän on nyt valmistamassa jokaisen Trumpin valmistautumisen Yhdysvaltain resurssiin, kun se DOJ-tutkimus Jerome Powellin on lopettunut.

0

213.23 - 237.142 David Pakman

We then are also here. Oh, but I should mention, by the way, Tillis is on the Senate Banking Committee. They control whether Fed nominees even get out of the gate. So this is not a symbolic thing. This is a guy with actual power to screw up Trump's plans for remaking the Federal Reserve in his own image or whatever. All right. Next.

0

237.142 - 262.741 David Pakman

Lisa Murkowski. Hän sanoi, että hän itse asiassa puhui Jeroen Powellin kanssa ja kuvatti tämän DOJ-kysymyksen kuin mitenkään muuta kuin yrittäminen koersioon. Nämä ovat hänen sanojaan. Se on republikaaninen senaattori. Hän sanoi, että Tom Tillis'n blockade on jotain, jota hän saattaa saada takaisin. Hän sanoi, että he ovat oikeita yrittää lopettaa kaikkia Fed-nominatioita ennen kuin tämä on loppunut. Joten mitä tässä tapahtuu?

0

262.741 - 286.636 David Pakman

Kuten aiemmin sanoin, Donald Trumpin oikeusyhtiö tutustuu sitoutuneeseen Fed-reservin puheenjohtajalle, joka on osallistunut kiinnostuksen ratkaisuun lisäksi toisten Fed-järjestäjien kanssa. Republikaanit huomioivat, mitä sanoin aiemmin, eli tämä on Trump yrittäen haastaa Feda. Tämä on Trump sanoa, että en saanut kiinnostuksen ratkaisuja, joita haluan.

286.636 - 304.118 David Pakman

So now I'm going to try to make your life a living hell. Of course, the Fed is supposed to be independent. The Fed is not supposed to be swayed by the personal wishes and desires and wet dreams of the president of the United States. Now, where it gets interesting is that the banking committee chaired by Tom Tillis

304.186 - 333.211 David Pakman

has 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats. If Tillis holds his ground and Democrats vote no, Trump's picks will hit a 12 to 12 deadlock if it's party lines plus Tillis's vote going with the Democrats. That doesn't automatically kill the nominations, but it would make the process extremely difficult and also politically explosive, where you could end up with Republicans saying, listen, we need Tillis's vote.

333.802 - 360.11 David Pakman

And we're not going to have Tillis's vote if and until the DOJ probe is resolved. So you could end up with the other 12 Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee going to the president and saying, you got to order this investigation to be stopped or ended. Now, according to policy analysts, getting around the deadlock, if they don't simply go to Trump and say, and the probe would require.

360.11 - 381.592 David Pakman

Some procedural gymnastics, including maybe blowing past the filibuster. So it doesn't appear that without Tom Tillis's vote in the Senate Banking Committee, Trump can steamroll this. And Murkowski has a track record here. She voted with Democrats against one of Trump's nominees last year. And so this is not just talk.

Chapter 4: How did White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt respond to the Renee Good shooting?

406.617 - 425.264 David Pakman

And he is causing some Republicans to peel off. And so this is not a left wing led rebellion. This is Republicans now creating a real problem for Donald Trump. The resistance is coming from his own party. And these are the sorts of cracks that can lead to things breaking. Now, as I told you yesterday,

0

425.264 - 446.594 David Pakman

Jerome Powell does not seem to be backing down. Since I reported on this on yesterday's show, we learned that Jerome Powell has hired an extremely aggressive law firm whose name escapes me right now. And I should have looked it up. In fact, let me see if I can find it. Jerome Powell hires law firm. What is the law firm?

0

447.691 - 476.024 David Pakman

He has hired Williams and call it Connolly. And that is an extremely aggressive firm that knows how to deal with exactly these sorts of investigations. You don't hire them if your plan is to roll over is the point that I am inarticulately trying to make here. So we are going to see how this develops. And then again, I this is so important to remind people of every single time. You don't typically see.

0

476.395 - 506.365 David Pakman

The dumping of interest rates, the decline in interest rates that Trump is demanding if the economy is good. Trump is simultaneously telling us this is a phenomenal economy. Everything is humming along beautifully. But I want the Fed to cut interest rates in the way that they typically only do during massive economic calamities. So they can't both be true unless I guess you are Donald Trump. Powell does not appear to be backing down.

0

506.365 - 526.649 David Pakman

Top Trump tool. Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, reunited in a beautiful love affair with Elon Musk and denounced, if you can believe this, that Grok AI, the X artificial intelligence LLM.

526.649 - 552.94 David Pakman

is going to be allowed inside the Pentagon. Does this sound like a good idea to anybody? Forget about accuracy. Forget about the politics of it. Do we want Elon's AI run by, you know, random 20 year olds that he's put in charge of it inside the sensitive network of the Pentagon? We will get to that in a moment.

552.94 - 575.553 David Pakman

Tässä on Pete Hegseth, joka on edelleen menossa tälle kohdalle. Ei ole vahvia ihmisiä, ei ole tyypillisiä. Olemme todella kehittämällä, kuinka Pentagon toimii. Ensimmäisenä kehittämme warrior-ethonin. Haluamme pysyä vähemmän tyypillisiä. Ei ole enempää DEI, ei ole enempää tyypillisiä.

Chapter 5: What actions did Karoline Leavitt take regarding ICE and Iran?

582.809 - 606.637 Pete Hegseth

No more climate change, worship and social justice and political correctness. We're done with that. We're unleashing the warfighter to be ready, trained, disciplined, accountable and lethal. When you allow them to do that, they're incredibly good at their job. As the world has seen and as an indicted criminal in Venezuela found out about a week ago.

0

606.822 - 622.128 David Pakman

Yeah, you know, I would never use phrases like this because it's just it's just not me. But I got about a dozen emails from people in the audience characterizing this video the exact same way.

0

622.128 - 641.483 David Pakman

Which is that Hegseth is a little bitch. Now I would never say that. I think that those terms are unproductive. It's unbecoming of a program like this. But I'm just mentioning to you, many in the audience wrote to me and said that. Now I want to do a little, this is not a thought experiment, this is a practical question. Think very carefully here.

0

642.496 - 669.968 David Pakman

Does this approach? We are going to get rid of our dudes and dresses and no more DEI and all of this stuff. If you are living in Milwaukee or Des Moines or Oklahoma City or Fort Lauderdale and you are struggling to feed your family, struggling to make rent, struggling to afford replacing a flat tire on your car.

0

670.559 - 688.328 David Pakman

And you hear that Trump has proposed increasing the military budget from 960 billion to 1.5 trillion. And the guy in charge of a lot of this is Pete Hegseth, who goes, we're going to get dudes and dresses out of the military. Do you hear that?

688.328 - 713.185 David Pakman

that they are working for you. Does it sound like your stress about not being able to replace that spare tire or having to choose between paying your now doubled health care premiums and food is a choice that now is not going to be won because Trump is going to fix it for you? Does it sound like they are bringing solutions to those problems when you hear this? I think the answer is very obviously no.

713.185 - 738.7 Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegseth osoittaa, ettei ollut paljon veneitä viime aikoina, koska he eivät pysty löytämään kaikkia veneitä. Heillä on ne kaikki, luulen, että se on tarkoitus. Veneemme ne. Ei ole ollut paljon veneitä viime aikoina, koska emme pysty löytämään veneitä, koska kukaan ei halua saada narkoilun.

Chapter 6: What new behavior has Donald Trump exhibited during speeches?

739.358 - 745.096 Pete Hegseth

Tämä on koko asia. Päästä lähettämään drogeja meidän maailmaan ja poistamaan amerikkalaisia.

0

749.517 - 776.129 David Pakman

And it's not just you. His delivery and his whole demeanor on stage is very, very strange. Now, then we get to the really big, toxic, disgusting, horrifying announcement that has been made, which is that Elon Musk is now once again being greeted as a hero after a little period of time during which things were a little rough between the Trump administration and Elon Musk.

0

776.129 - 797.105 David Pakman

And Pete Hegseth announces the AI chat bot Grok controlled by the former Twitter now X will be joining the AI engine operating inside the US Pentagon. This seems like a very, very bad idea.

0

797.999 - 808.428 Pete Hegseth

Kiitos. Kiitos paljon. Tänään ollaan toivottavasti järjestäneet seuraavan Frontier AI-modellisen yrityksen, johon jäi genai.mil.

0

808.765 - 849.704 Pete Hegseth

Ja se on GROK, X-AI, joka käy live aiemmin tämän kuukauden. Myöhemmin meillä on maailman suurimpia AI-modelleja kaikkien ei-klasifioinnin ja klasifioinnin järjestöissä. Ympäri meidän tehtävämme. Lopulta. Ja emme käyttäisi AI-modelleja, jotka eivät mahdollista, että sinun ei pysty vahvistamaan. It will not generate images of dudes in dresses.

Chapter 7: What insights did Governor Janet Mills share about her Senate campaign?

849.923 - 868.84 David Pakman

We're building war ready weapons and systems, not chatbots for an Ivy League faculty lounge. Yeah. One of the things Grok does and does regularly is it will make nonconsensual artificial intelligence created nude and sexually explicit images of people in the public eye.

0

868.84 - 898.793 David Pakman

That is exactly what we need inside the Pentagon. This seems like a disastrous idea. They did give Elon Musk a chance to speak. And he said, we want to make Starfleet Academy real. We want to make Star Trek real. And the always articulate and dynamic Elon Musk bringing his gravitas to this. And I'll tell you a little bit just about the purpose of SpaceX. It's like we want to make Star Trek real.

0

898.912 - 922.587 Elon Musk

real okay we want to make starfleet academy real so that it's not always science fiction but one day the science fiction turns to science fact and we have spaceships going through space big spaceships

0

923.009 - 940.154 Elon Musk

Meillä on ihmisiä, jotka menevät toisista planeisteista, maailmasta ja lopulta myöhemmin taustasysteemiin. Toisista taustasysteemiin, joissa voimme tapahtua ilmaisuudesta tai yrittää pitkän ajan ilmaisuutta. En tiedä, mutta...

0

940.272 - 953.654 Elon Musk

Me haluamme mennä, ja me haluamme nähdä, mitä tapahtuu, ja me haluamme, että meillä on epi-futuristiset maataloudet, joissa on paljon ihmisiä, jotka menevät paikoille, joita emme ole koskaan ollut.

953.738 - 974.056 David Pakman

It's really it's really, really cool. Now, listen, I'm the first to say I think space exploration is a valuable use of money and resources. And we learn so much about ourselves and develop technologies. And I'm all for it. It's the combination of Elon being so involved in both the administration.

974.056 - 992.213 David Pakman

and also in the technology that is being allowed in. And meanwhile, as people are struggling, he was meant to find the waste, fraud and abuse and get rid of it. Turns out they couldn't really find it. Still not a single person charged with any of the fraud that supposedly took place. And then he is being given the hero's welcome to talk about

992.213 - 1011.434 David Pakman

making Starfleet Academy real. So my skepticism is not about the worthiness of space exploration. My skepticism is about putting Elon Musk in charge of any of this stuff. We're going to take a break after the break. Caroline Leavitt has resurfaced. It's not so good. I'll tell you that.

1012.767 - 1032.342 David Pakman

One challenge in covering politics today is that even when outlets are reporting the same facts, they often are framing the stories really differently. And our sponsor Ground News is a website, an app that makes those differences easy to see. What Ground News does is gather coverage of the same story from across the political spectrum.

Chapter 8: What erratic messages did Trump post on Truth Social?

1163.41 - 1184.96 David Pakman

She referred to the deceased 37 year old Renee Good killed by the ice officer as a deranged lunatic and says there is lots of evidence that she struck the ice officer with her vehicle. That is not what any of the video suggests, but let's listen to what she had to say.

0

1184.96 - 1213.023 Karoline Leavitt

...this case from the very beginning and they have had to change their story and their narrative. Because at first you heard Democrats, including the mayor of Minneapolis, saying that the car never struck the officer and the lethal force was unjustified. Now of course there is plentiful video evidence to show that the officer was struck by the car, that this deranged lunatic woman was trying to ram him over with her vehicle and was using that vehicle

0

1213.023 - 1228.025 Karoline Leavitt

Mitä?

0

1228.025 - 1253.05 Karoline Leavitt

unlawfully impeding lawful law enforcement operations. They are harassing and targeting ICE agents, trying to make it impossible again for them to carry out their duties. That's what was happening in this case. That officer used his training. I understand that he's been on the force and he's been protecting American communities for many, many years. He's an experienced and brave individual.

0

1253.05 - 1268.288 Karoline Leavitt

who unfortunately had to make a very tough decision and was put in that position by these paid agitators who have been doing this all over the country. Of course, no evidence that any of that took place. And when she says there is plentiful video evidence,

1268.288 - 1296.74 David Pakman

että Rene Goode tukki poliisiin hänen autonsa. Tämä tarkoittaa, ettei hänellä ole mitään tunnetta? Ja tämä on ongelma, kun menet tämän jälkeen. Kun jäät sivuun ja menet eteenpäin poliisiin ja kutsut poliisin herran ja Renea Goodea, yksityiskohtaisen teröristin ja kaikkea muuta, ettei pysty takaisin siitä. He pääsevät tilanteeseen, jossa he eivät voida järjestelmällisesti, ja en tarkoita kappaleen C, kuten järjestelmällisyys, kun puhutaan heidän tehtävänsä, mitä heidän tekevän.

1296.74 - 1306.004 David Pakman

They are unable to just come out and say we got out ahead of the facts a little bit. And it turns out that it's different. They can't do it. They won't do it.

1306.325 - 1333.915 David Pakman

Meillä on nyt, okei, minulla on paljon näistä klipoista, joita voidaan käydä läpi. Hän oli sitten kysynyt, onko Donald Trump uskottanut, että Ice-ohjelman toimintatavoja olivat oikeutettuja. Ja hän sanoi, että tietenkin hänen toimintansa olivat oikeutettuja. Tietenkin ne olivat oikeutettuja. Kun puhutaan siitä, mitä tapahtui viime viikkoa, ja henkilö, joka oli osallistunut haastatteluun, onko presidentti täyttänyt täysin sen henkilön, sen asiantuntijan, onko presidentti uskottanut, että hänen toimintansa olivat oikeutettuja?

1334.523 - 1357.726 Karoline Leavitt

Kyllä. Ja luulen, että tämän jälkeen enemmän tietoa näyttää, että henkilö oli oikeutettu, ja presidentti Trump oli oikeassa koko ajan. Ja kuka oli väärä? Demokraattinen partti ja maailmanlaajuiset mediat, jotka ovat pysähtyneet liittymään tämän henkilön ja tämän tilanteen alussa. Ja he ovat pitäneet muuttaa heidän tarinansa ja heidän narratiivinsa. Koska ensimmäisenä olit kuullut demokraattista, jopa maailmanlaajuisista.
