So Trump has his new cabinet picks, right?
Has he picked all of them yet or not?
Yeah, I think he's picked all.
I mean, there might be some more, like, smaller positions that he still gets to
pick, like judges and stuff like that.
But he's picked, I think he's picked his cabinet.
What do you feel, like, who are some of your favorites?
Who are some you're kind of on the fence about?
Doug Collins got fucking picked?
The coach?
The basketball coach?
I guess so, dude.
Remember he was with the Wizards, dude?
Wait, are you talking about Jordan's coach, Doug Collins?
Or is this someone else?
No, that's a different Doug Collins.
Oh, damn.
Who's that guy?
Doug Collins got the Bulls right there.
Oh, yeah.
And then Phil Jackson came in and took all the glory.
I remember that, dude.
That's a great point.
That's never really talked about, is it?
But what about some of his cabinet picks?
Who do you like?
Where are you at with some of that?
I love, okay, well, the best ones to me by far were Bobby Kennedy for Health
Department was just amazing.
I think that's really going to shake things up.
Is he one of the first doctors that's never been in charge of the Health
Department?
That's a good question.
I don't know.
No, I think the guy who's the head of it now was a lawyer, too.
So I'm not sure.
But he is the first real outsider and real critic of the American health state.
And so that's really interesting.
He also put, which I'm sure has a lot to do with Bobby being at HHS, but he put
Jay Bhattacharya as the new head of the-
Draft Kings?
The Jay Bhattacharya?
Yeah, he sounds like a bookie.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, well, he's got a, I think he's Indian.
I don't know.
Oh, Bhattacharya's Indian?
Wow.
I might be wrong about that.
If I'm wrong, I apologize.
But he was one of the signatories on the Great Barrington Declaration.
He was amazing during COVID.
He was like one, he's like a brilliant, you know, he's got a degree, I think,
in economics and in science.
Jay Bhattacharya, bring him up.
It sounds like he's from Madras, New Jersey, dude.
Bring him up, Jay Bhattacharya.
Let's get a little gander at him.
I just want to get a peek at him.
I haven't seen his face before.
Bhattacharya.
Oh, yeah, I like this guy, huh?
He was phenomenal during COVID.
Really?
Like a goddamn hero, just calling out all the bullshit.
I would love to interview him.
Dude, that would be great.
He's a super, super smart scientist who's like really understood why lockdowns
were terrible
and why the vaccine mandates were insane and all of that stuff.
So he got Fauci's old job.
Really?
Which is going to be real interesting.
Yeah, head of the NIH.
Heck yeah, that's cool.
Now, all these guys got to be confirmed by the Senate still.
So that's not done.
But the other great pick was Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence.
Makari, do you know who that is?
Marty.
I'm not sure.
Marty Makari.
Can you look him up?
Marty Makari for FDA Commissioner.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know enough about this guy.
He has a great book called The Price We Pay.
Bring up one of his books.
I want to talk with this guy.
It's about the insurance, the whole scam, the scam, what broke American health
care.
There's another great book he has, too.
Dude, one of his books, he has this thing like where they were going to black
churches.
Okay.
He's a surgeon.
Let me see.
Martin and Al Makari is a British American surgeon, professor, author, and
medical commentator.
Where they were going to, they were convincing, giving people scans at their
churches, showing them that they needed like their blood vessels dilated or shunts
put in their legs.
And it was just, and doctors were making a ton of money through Medicaid.
It was just this big scam.
And a lot of the doctors were funding the groups that would go and they would
do it at black churches and black religious get-togethers.
And they'd have tables set up and they were just using these people, basically
sending them through as just like a fucking, as a varicose vein mill, you know?
Wow.
Unreal.
And just making tons of money, I'm sure.
Yeah.
But he talks about that.
He talks about a lot of neat stuff.
Oh, that's another one.
Blind spots.
When medicine, that's what I've been reading.
When medicine goes wrong.
That's one that I've been reading.
But he seems like an interesting guy.
But he got put in.
That's one I'm excited about.
Gabbard, you said.
Who else is in there?
Uh, uh, Kash Patel, uh, who's took over the FBI.
Oh, really?
FBI director who was, he was a huge critic of like Russiagate and a lot of the
crazy stuff that, a lot of the election interference that the FBI has been
doing.
Again, you know, we're going to see how, there were reports out, um, I'm not
sure if this is true or not, but that Tulsi Gabbard was saying she's changed
her mind on government surveillance and now she's okay with the intelligence
agencies spying on us.
You know, DC has a way of poisoning people.
But how does that happen?
But also, I'm not throwing her under the bus or nothing like that.
I think maybe she's saying what she needs to say to get confirmed and then she'll
do some really great stuff.
Could that be something that happens?
Quite possibly.
It's, you know, it's hard to say.
But it is like, there's all types of pressure.
And then there's probably pressures that I don't know about at all that when
you're actually on the inside, there's probably all types of threats and things
like that that you got to deal with.
So I think these, these picks were all very, very good.
He had a bunch of really bad picks that I did not like.
Let me see, let's finish this one though.
Gabbard, 43, was born in the U.S. territory of American Samoa, raised in Hawaii
and spent a year of her childhood in the Philippines.
Yeah, she's definitely, I love the way that she talks.
You know, I love how just her own, she always seems to have her very own voice.
Who are some Trump picks, some other cabinet picks that you're not sure about,
you feel like?
I know, I'm blanking on his name.
I know his national security advisor I really didn't like.
And I heard some statements from him that I didn't like.
You know, Pete Hegseth was an interesting one.
I don't really know enough about him.
He's from Montana?
Is that that guy?
Is he from Montana?
I'm not sure.
I know he was a Fox News guy for a long time.
I've met him a couple times.
Former Georgia congressman is up first.
Let me see.
What do you know about Pete Hegseth?
Trump's, let me, Hegseth44 has developed a close rapport with Trump, a military
veteran
and popular conservative media personality with a large following of his own.
You know, he hosted like the Fox morning show for years.
Oh, I think I remember who he is now.
America's white sons and daughters are walking away and who can blame them?
I think he's talking about the military.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, he was, so I met him back in, I want to say like 2016 or something
like that.
And he was like, I think he had pretty standard, like Republican, you know,
politics.
I think he, he's, from what I've heard, he's kind of changed a bit over the
years and has
been become much more skeptical about a lot of the wars.
Thank you.
