Buck Brief - Trump's All-Star Cabinet Picks

Dni Tulci Gabbard in the mix. Now, really like Tulsi, very nice person, Patriot, loves her country. I think she'll be great. Ratcliffe at CIA, he's got a lot of house cleaning to do over there. We got Matt Gets nominated as Attorney General. You've got Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami running DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. You've got Lee Zelvin at EPA. I mean, are going down this list, and I'll tell you one thing. This is a list that is meant to drive libs completely insane. And in

that sense, I'm very excited about it right. It's nice to have an assemblage of figures from the right who are not within the beltweigh system. Not oh, go along to get along, moderate Republicans or whatever it may be. These are people who are being picked to shake up these institutions. It is going to be the Trump cabinet versus the bureaucracy, Trump Cabinet versus the swamp two point zero. And this time around, I gotta tell you, Trump seems

hell bent on just coming out swinging. No learning curve, No oh, we're gonna build a plane as we fly it. They are already assembling an a ten ward hoog so that it can lay down maximum higher power as soon as it takes off, which means the inauguration right to

belabor the analogy. So yeah, I got to tell you the one that I am the most excited about is the Elon Musk and VIVAQ possibility here, just because, first of all, I think Elon is a genius, a managerial and visionary genius, a guy who can do things that nobody else can do or even would have tried to do when it comes to space, when it comes to electric cars, you know, all these different things. The boring

company SpaceX Tesla AI. He's big in the AI space and buying Twitter and turning it into x Elon's amazing. And Viveks has made quite a fortune for himself in the pharmaceutical industry. It's a very very adept speaker. So I think these two guys could do phenomenal things in the government. I think there could be some really stuff that comes from it, And I would love it if they could take some of these governments. First of all, some of these government bureaucracies just need to go, need

to go. And it'll be interesting to test the courts on this. I'm sure there'll be a lot of lawsuits and oh, you can't do that, and there's civil servants, and do we need a Department of Education? The answer is no, we do not, Right, That's one thing Trump has already said he's gonna get rid of it. And people say, what about all the schools. States run schools, the state itself runs schools, or the different states run schools, And believe it or not, people went to school before

the Department of Education existed. There was a whole thing. There were schools all across the country. You know, Harvard's been around for like three hundred years. So I'm pretty sure that there were schools, right, Why do you have this massive federal bureaucracy. Well, to make sure that you know, schools in rural Ohio and schools in western Kentucky among all other schools too, are teaching the latest DEI nonsense, that's what the Department of Education exists for. So we

don't need it. It has got to go, got to go. So there is that. You've also got a whole bunch of these intelligence agencies. I come from that world we have. I'll tell you something about the intelligence agencies, and I was an analyst too. You got like a thousand analysts on some issue, and they're all squabbling over who gets to brief the deputy assistant secretary for whatever. It's just so wasteful. You should have a very small cadre of very elite minds and true expertise on issues, and that

should be it. I mean, the bureaucracy. Here's the way a bureaucracy and intelligence community works. They would rather have fifty mediocre analysts on let's say Russia. They'd rather have fifty mediocre analysts all reading the reports and writing reports and this stuff than they would four or five brilliant analysts who speak fluent Russian, who have a real institutional memory and knowledge of Russian culture and politics and history

and national security and everything. Right, And it's just unfortunate. But that's the way that it is. And I know what they would say, Oh, but we have that, we just have the other forty five. No, no, you don't need the other forty five. You know, you can bring in younger people who are brilliant and train them up to be incredible analysts. But there's so much sloth, there's so much mediocrity. It's a jobs program. Basically. This is why all the civil servants overwhelming the vote Democrat. This

is why DC is ninety seven percent Democrat. Because people work in the federal government want the system to continue because most of what they do is either redundant or irrelevant, and we can't have that anymore. So DOGE is huge as far as I'm concerned. But also all these individual agencies, all these individual agencies I think can be very much right size, which means cut down, and I hope that

the people in charge of them will do that. It's not just about cutting down the personnel on the budget, so that's a part of it. It's also the Mission Creep and the EPA. The regulations that come out of these places is madness. There's no benefits. They's just harassing people. It's crazy. Our sponsor here is market Wise. You know, the markets and investors reacted well to the news of President Trump's reelection and to Wall Street veterans, no surprise

what's happened since then. But one Wall Street veteran took notice of a change in some processes made available this past Friday. He's informs in ways that most of us are not because he's paying attention to the Street and has been for nearly half a century every day, and he saw an investment opportunity made available and he wants to share the news with you. Mark Chakin is his name.

Shakeen Analytics is his company Marx. He's a way to spot potential buying sprees on five thousand different stocks before they occur, and it could double your portfolio, he says, go to Stocks twenty twenty five dot com for details and now is unique new discovery could double your portfolio over the next year. Again, that's Stocks twenty twenty five dot com. One more Time Stocks twenty twenty five dot com Now Pete Hegseth, my man, Pete going Todd to

be the Secretary of Defense. This is the Wall Street Journal editorial board opinion on this one. Why Trump wants heg Seth that defense. He seems to want a culture warrior to take on the military brass. Here's what he says. Donald Trump has quickly filled the top ranks of his national security team, and for the most part, they're politicians

with solid experience and understanding of today's security threats. The main wildcard is Pete Hegseth, the Fox News personality and decorated Army veteran who will get close Senate scrutiny as the nominee to be Secretary of Defense. The choice of mister Heggsath has shocked many in Washington, and that by itself might be a recommendation. He could hardly do worse than the so called adults in the room of recent years.

The arm services can't make their recruiting quotas. America's military industrial base has been exposed as inadequate, with little protests from Pentagon leaders, and no one in the civilian or military ranks was accountable for the f held accounable for the Afghanistan debacle. Yet he's never now again the criticism. Yet he's never run a big institution, a most and much less one of the largest and most high bend on the planet. He has no government experience, and there's

no small risk of bureaucracy to eat him alive. And I'm going to tell you this right now. They're going to say this about anybody who's actually going to try to do things very differently. If you are a creature of these institutions, what are the chances that you are actually going to create meaningful change in these institutions. The bureaucracy exists for the preservation of the of the bureaucracy.

That is mission number one for any bureaucracy. And that's why it's been so hard to get any real reform to change anything. But I think this could be an opportunity for things to be very different. I think Pete's going to go in there and he doesn't have allegiance to all the different four stars and three stars and two stars. You know, they got like two stars fetching coffee in the Pentagon. There's stars everywhere. That's that's not going to affect Pete's thinking. The system itself is not

going to be able to bend him to its will. Well, there'd be resistance, of course there is. But if he goes in there just to root out the DEI madness and the and the idea that women should be in four deployed combat roles, which I think is a horrible idea, and Pete agrees with me, uh, then there will be

a lot of good that comes with this. Look, we're not at war right now, okay, And Pete's been to war a couple of times, so there's also this, Hey, so the people can the people who can fight the wars can't be involved in decision making if another war comes up. We've always got to have some some uh, you know, kind of puffed up general who is making a lot of effort to get nice profile pieces written about him in the New Yorker, Like that's really where's

to do? You know? There's a lot of preening that goes a lot of preening with petreas, a lot of preening with mattis a lot of preening with these Oh they're like the great warriors of our time. I met warriors, they were getting shot at, they were doing incredible things that took tremendous bravery and sacrifice. That's a warrior drinking coffee making decisions in the Pentagon. That's a bureaucrat. It's

a different thing, and people recognize that. And you know, I think that you have a whole different view of what it would mean to be getting pulled closer to conflict in say Ukraine, when you've actually seen what a conflict would be, what conflict means for US soldiers. So yeah, a veteran with combat experience to run the Department of Defense. That makes perfect sense to me. So I disagree with the Wall Street drinn here on that one. Let's get

into the We'll get into the Matt Gates one. Next, Matt Gates as Attorney General, because that's getting a lot of attention. Wow, my phone blew up with that one. We'll get there in a second. You didn't vote for this recession or inflation, but you're sure paying for it at the pump and the grocery store and all those bills that are stacking up. Look, I know financial stress can be crushing. I've been there myself. I know what

it's like. The solution, though, is done with Debt dot Com, unlike others Done with debt created new aggressive strategies designed to get you out of debt permanently without bankruptcy or loans.

with debt dot Com. That's done with debt dot Com. And now we get to the single, so far most controversial of all the Trump appointments that have come forward. I would say that Christy noome one. I just say this friend of mine pointed this out. He said, maybe you want a lady who shoots puppies to be in charge of deporting millions of illegals. It's not gonna be pleasant work sometimes, all right. I mean that's one way

to go, right. I'm not endorsing, and I'm just saying that's that's one point of view that I have heard from people that you need someone who's got a little you know, got a little bit of mean in them, a little bit of toughness in them to do that. Okay, but that's Christy Nome at DHS. Matt Gates is a g This is driving the Libs completely insane. And to this, I would just say, the Department of Justice was used as a weapon against Trump in an election year. What

are we supposed to do with that? What are we supposed to do with the fact that they're were senior elements within the DOJ who tried to lock up for the rest of his life, the man who is now President of the United States, And they did it because they don't like him, not because he broke the law. They don't like him. You gotta get really rough, You gotta get really rough with that kind of politicization, shall

we call it. He can't be polite about it. You're gonna have to get in there and metaphorically crack some skulls. And that's what the Matt Gates pick is all about. Do I think he'll get through confirmation? I don't know. I would not bet a large sum of money on it, but I could be wrong. And you say, oh, buck, Republicans have fifty Republicans have fifty three votes. Yeah, including like Murkowski and Collins, and you know, don't forget that,

don't ever forget Republicans opportunity to decide. Man, I'm gonna go to the Democrats it with some of those squishy ones in the middle. So, yeah, the Matt Gates pick is some wild stuff. I gotta say. You know met Matt a few times, A sharp guy, very very very loyal to Trump. So there's that. Uh, I just gotta tell you the amount of it. It's worthy just to see how angry Libs are about it. It's pretty been pretty phenomenal, pretty incredible situation to see that play out.

But it's it's this is a team that's meant to smash different parts of the system, and this is what people voted for. Well, really, I just want to say this, that's the second the Tier two is swamp systems smashing very important. You know, that's the second or maybe you say the secondary mission. To me, the primary mission is how you got to deport millions of illegals. This has got to stop. It's done. Got to deport millions of illegals.

Have to do it. You're not gonna have a country if you don't do this, because you're not gonna stop the millions more illegals from coming, because why if they're not getting deported, guess what more are gonna come? And it'll it'll change the It'll change the employment markets, the housing markets, the rule of law, I mean, the the the If we deport them and a lot of them, are all of them gonna get deported? No, we don't even have the capacity to port all of them. Are

some of them going to be allowed to stay? Well, if there's a we if we let's just say this, if we have thirty million illegals in the country and we depour ten million of them, then I want to have a conversation about, Okay, what do we do with the next ten million? And then we can have a conversation about what do we do with the next ten million.

That's how we handle this, because what the left is going to is be like, but what about all the Grandma's And it's like, well, can we get rid of all the criminals first, all the MS thirteen, everybody who's come the last four years, by the way out you just got here out, you came illegally out. But okay, you've been here twenty years, you've been you've been a good you know, you've been a good person in your community.

You know. But that's the last tranch. That's the in terms of the and this is just the way it would work. People can disagree with me, but the law enforcement priorities of any deportation are going to be along those lines. Meaning there's there's the there's the people that are public safety rists. You get rid of all them. There's a people who are single adult males who just got here, You get rid of all them. They're the people who you know are already a public charge and

illegally accessing welfare benefits. You know, you get rid of them. You know, you make it right down. And then when you have okay, look somebody's been here, you know, then the American people, through their legislature gonna have a conversation about do we have them go back to their home country reapply, but we would welcome them in there that you know, there's different approaches that could be taken. That's

when the negotiation can happen. You can't you can't negotiate with terrorism, and you can't negotiate with wide open borders. You've just got to stop it. You've got a terrorism wide open border is not necessarily the same thing. But you understand what I'm saying. You've got to just deal with the urgent problem first, and then we can figure

out the hard cases. Then we can deal with stuff later or even just Okay, now we look at the number, and the number is manageable, and we know there's not more coming in illegally, absolutely essential, So yeah, I hope they I hope they get it done. You know, President elect Trump has been busy already. The Chief of Staff has been announced, nominated Tom Homan to be borders are at least Stephonic as UN ambassador. And that's the first of just so many tasks in front of the president.

But one of the more important items is reducing our national debt. Won't be reduced quickly, but it will be a priority. I'm sure of that. For you, What does that mean strategy remains the same. Diversify your savings. So many things remain out of our control. In the matter the sense of urgency and a new administration, it's important to have a safe haven for your savings. Look, Trump's coming in. He wants to handle things, he wants to

change things. That thirty five trillion dollars in debt is there. He's inherited that, and that is a systemic risk to the dollar. It just is.
