| 0:00.0 | All righty, folks. After an excellent week, why not spend the weekend watching the left squirm just a little bit more? Matt Walsh's, AmI Racist, the number one documentary of the decade, is streaming exclusively at DailyWire Plus. Not a member yet. Head on over to DailyWire.com slash subscribe. Use code Trump for 47% off your new annual membership. So in just a little while, we're going to be joined by the brand new senator from the state of Montana, Tim Shihi. |
| 0:37.2 | I had the privilege of joining him on the campaign trail during the campaign. That dude is amazing. He's just terrific. We're going to have him on in a little while. But let's begin with more winning because let's be real about, again, I am unaccustomed to this level of optimism. It's giving me a bit of indigestion. I gotta be honest Maybe it's the lack of sleep. |
| 0:38.7 | Maybe it's the fact that I could only eat vegan food |
| 0:40.2 | when I was in Tennessee. But whatever the rationale, maybe Pepto-Bismol fixes the optimism. I don't know what the story is. Bottom line is, I'm a little optimistic because President Trump keeps making good decisions. It's almost as though all the myths that we were told about how Donald Trump was going to come into office and then immediately staff up complete idiots around himself. |
| 0:59.2 | It's almost as though those were untrue. |
| 1:01.3 | And we were told that by the most intelligent people. |
| 1:03.4 | After all, Donald Trump had fired people like General James Mattis. |
| 1:07.3 | After all, Donald Trump had been at odds with so many members of his prior administration. There would be no one left. He would be forced to dip into the bottom of the barrel. And thus far, I see precisely zero evidence that that is indeed the case. The people who are apparently doing the staffing on a wide variety of issues include people like the Vice President of the United States elect J.D. Vance. Don Jr. is on that team. |
| 1:28.6 | Eric is on that. Eric Trump is on that team. You also have a bunch of Trump World Insiders like |
| 1:33.0 | Susie Wiles, like people like Brian Hook is involved in the foreign policy team. In other words, |
| 1:38.8 | the people who are going to go into the Trump administration are not going to be jokers. |
| 1:42.1 | They're going to be very serious people with a very serious portfolio. As mentioned, Donald Trump late yesterday announced that he would be tamping the campaign co-manager, Susie Wiles, is the White House chief of staff. Susie Wiles is a very serious person. She's well respected on all sides of the political spectrum inside the Republican Party. Jeb Bush has endorsed. Everyone from Jeb Bush all the way to Donald Trump has endorsed Susie Wiles and Chief of Staff. She's a very serious Politico. She obviously worked not only with Trump, but with Rick Scott down here when he was governor of Florida with Governor DeSantis. When he was running for governor of Florida, then she went back into the Trump campaign. She is wily. She is savvy and she is knife sharp. I mean, she is really a solid political fighter. According to the Wall Street Journal, Susie Wiles, who led at President Trump's presidential run, will become his White House chief of staff when he retakes the presidency next year. The campaign said on Thursday, making her the first woman to hold that role in American history. Remember that time when he wouldn't surround himself with strong women, according to Mark Cuban? Yeah, I feel like he's, I feel like she's a woman. I don't know. I'm just going to put that out there. Trump said in his statement, Susie Wows just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns. Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and universally admired and respected. |
| 2:54.3 | Susie will continue to work tirelessly to make America great again. It is a well-deserved honor to have Susie as the first ever female chief of staff in U.S. history. I have no doubt |
| 2:58.0 | she will make our country proud. Again, she keeps her cars real close to the vest. She's incredibly |
| 3:03.9 | savvy, and she is not the type of person who is going to take kindly to people who do not |
| 3:10.9 | have team trump's best interests at heart so that is an excellent pick by president trump again |
| 3:16.0 | she's well respected on pretty much every side of the republican political spectrum now the question |
| 3:22.2 | as to how she negotiates in congress, that one is still open. Usually, |
| 3:25.0 | the chief of staff has a lot of congressional negotiations. The good news for her is that, well, |
| 3:28.5 | she doesn't have tons of experience at doing that because, again, she was campaign manager in |
| 3:32.7 | 2016 and 2020 in part, and she didn't really involve herself in legislative affairs. She will be |
| 3:37.8 | negotiating with Mike Johnson in the House. In the Senate, the Senate leadership battle is still wide open at this point. There's a lot of speculation about who is going to take over as the Senate majority leader because Mitch McConnell has announced he's going to step down. There's some rumors that Rick Scott, for example, is trying to run for it. There's more than rumors he does want the Senate majority leadership position. There are some members of the base who are very hot on Rick Scott, so he's a possibility. John Thune is a very solid possibility. Most of the more established members of the U.S. Senate are probably going to back Thune or John Cornyn. Honestly, any of those people will be perfectly capable of negotiating with President Trump. And we'll do a fine job in that role. Okay. Meanwhile, President |
