good morning everyone from i would say sunny miami but it's not so sunny this morning it's a little overcast here in miami um but it's still a beautiful day i've been here all weekend for a fantastic book fair the miami book fair that's at the miami day college i got to see some of the folks i got to see some lemonheads this weekend so hello all of you where are you streaming from this morning where are you streaming from this morning um let's see i had some folks from florida Folks from Georgia are in the house. Los Angeles, Canada, all over. So listen, I'm going to get to it quick because we have a lot to discuss here. And it's... It's a little bit, I believe, it's a bit of a concern. And I know folks are going to say, well, you know, Don, he's got some folks in his cabinet.
He's got some women. All of the people who are in the main positions, the most upfront, out front, I believe, powerful positions in this upcoming administration, or who will be, are all men. All men. All boys club. Pretty much all white men, okay? I want you guys to, this is what I want to tell you. You know, I want to ask you a question. What do, and I think I've kind of answered it, what do all of the, most of the members of the Trump team, what do they have in common? Is it their political beliefs? Maybe a little bit, not really. It's not their ideological, it's not ideological, anything ideological whatsoever. Think about it. So you have between, let's see, Donald Trump himself, Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth,
And RFK Jr., also Elon Musk, all of them have either repeatedly cheated on their spouses or have been accused of S.A. And we know what that means, right? It will be the first S.E.X. Pest presidency. That's what it will be. The first. Let me just show you what this administration looks like. The people who really make a difference. This is them. Now, remember, RFK Jr. is supposed to be the person who is saving us health-wise, right? Check them out. I believe they're on the plane. They're on Donald Trump's plane. Could be Elon Musk's plane, but it's probably Donald Trump's plane. And it looks like they had just served RFK Jr. the poison that he says that he hates. Looks like he's got a Big Mac in his hand. Or maybe it's a, who knows, quarter pounder and some fries.
But look from left to right. You have Elon Musk. You have Donald Trump. You have Don Jr. You got Mike Johnson, the House Speaker, in the back. And then you've got RFK Jr., very healthy photograph. I eat McDonald's, but I'm not the one who's saying, you know, all this stuff is bad and this is going to be your health czar or whomever, the head of HHS. So what do y'all think about that? But these are the folks who are in the powerful positions. Also check out this weekend at the fight, the MMA fight. Is it MMA or UFC? It's UFC. There is RFK and then behind him, I don't know if you see, it's a profile of Elon Musk. And then there is Donald Trump, of course, in the middle. And then Dana White, who is the head of it.
There you go. It is a good old boys club that we are dealing with. We're going to be dealing with. A good old boys club, and then they're going to have the women, make the women accountable or will have to answer for what they say and what they do. The press secretary, who will be a woman, she's going to have to answer for whatever happens to this administration, whatever they decide to do, and all the questionable things, which will come. We know they will come. So we're not saying anything that you folks don't know. They will put the women in charge of cleaning up the mess. That's what is going to happen. So let's talk about some of the picks because a lot of folks have been wondering about, of course, Pete Hegseth, who has been nominated to be the defense secretary.
He's the Fox News anchor. And then also Matt Gaetz, who has been nominated to be the attorney general. He has now resigned from Congress. And so folks are wondering, well, what is going to happen? Because there's an investigation going on against Matt Gaetz.
