You’ve probably already read or heard a lot about all the different things that are wrong with various people that President Trump has nominated. A lot of this, frankly, is to be expected. It is, after all, a very liberal news media. They hated Trump, they didn’t want Trump to win. They did everything they could to prop up Kamala Harris, and now they’re doing everything they can to make life harder for President Trump, and frankly,

he’s sort of taunting them. I think some of his nominations are people that he knows are going to cause a lot of flack, but he also thinks that it’s important to put a flag down that he’s for real change. Now, my favorite example of that is cash Patel. I’ve known cash for a number of years. Back in the Trump White House, I watched him during the years in which Trump was not in office. And he’s a very tough guy. He’s very, very smart, but he’s very tough, and he has said very strong things. So naturally, you know, if you’re a left winger and your son are being told we’re going to hold you accountable, you might think, ooh, this is a guy I don’t want to see in charge of the FBI. On the other hand,

we’ve had some senior FBI retirees say, you know, he’s exactly who we need, because the FBI is out of control. Has some very serious problems, and we need a guy tough enough to take on the bureaucracy and to make a change. So that’s going to become, I think, a pretty tough continuing fight. And it’s typical of President Trump. He is not going to back down. He’s named his person. Has every right as a president to recommend who he wants in his government. Now that doesn’t mean he gets them all. Remember, under our constitutional system, the Senate gets to advise and consent on these kind of things, and if the Senate finds somebody that they think is unacceptable,

they just won’t vote for him, and that’s part of what happened to Congressman Gates, who was the first really controversial person named to be attorney general, and after a week, it was obvious that there were enough senators who were going to vote no that he had no hope, and so his name was withdrawn. But I don’t think that bothered President Trump, because he already had in the former attorney general of Florida, Pam Bondi, a really intelligent, smart, hard, working and very experienced attorney general that he could nominate almost immediately to stay back on offense. So you’re going to see some of this, and you’re going to see different senators raise different issues. Pete hegseth is probably the most controversial current nominee, and that’s partly because there are a lot of stuff coming out, rumors and innuendos and accusations about his private life and some things coming out about his management skills. On the other hand, the senators who have met with hexa have said, you know, he’s very impressive, and he’s very committed to a strong American military, and we think he would do a great job. So I think even the most controversial current nominee may well get accepted by the Senate.
