00:00for joining us. What is your view on this? Is it one Dana White? Is it the other Dana White?
00:04Or is it Mr. President just having a wee bit of fun?
00:08Thanks for having me. Yeah, I think the President was just having fun. I don't think this was
00:12anything serious whatsoever. I think you're going to see somebody appointed that's probably going
00:17to be even more of a surprise. That's my guess. But I don't think it's Dana White.
00:23I asked this question to a Republican the other evening when I was on the program. It was maybe
00:28a week, 10 days ago. And I said, are you disappointed by Donald Trump? And it was an
00:35overt, no, absolutely not. I'm not disappointed by Donald Trump. Now, a lot has happened since
00:41then to now. Are you disappointed by Donald Trump?
00:45No, I'm not disappointed by President Trump. I'm disappointed in the party of which I belong
00:52and I take full responsibility. The Republican Party failed to lower the price of gas and lower
00:59the price of food. It's just that simple. That's what this is about.
01:04Who's the head of that party?
01:08Well, one would say Donald Trump, but we all are contributors to the party. So as a whole,
01:14the Congress, the Senate, the President can't do everything by himself. So I think it's a group
01:21responsibility of the Republican Party. If you want to throw a percentage in there of Trump's
01:25responsibility, yeah. He's done a lot of great things, but the basic needs of the people of
01:33the United States, which is the lower price in gas and food, it far outweighs anything good
01:39he does, unfortunately. And it's been that way since the beginning of time.
01:44You know what I'm going to say to you? You were fully prepared for my response to this,
01:47right? Because it was he who started this war. It is he who had the issues with the
01:53Strait of Hormuz. It is he who ended up pushing up gas prices. It is he who ended up pushing
01:58up grocery prices, despite saying he would get them down on day one. These were his election
02:04promises. Why does this not land at his feet?
02:10Well, okay, so you brought up a lot of subjects.
02:13Sorry, forgive me. It was a lot of information. I do apologize.
02:16Yeah, yeah. I'll address Iran. I mean, look, we've been in a state of war with the Iranian
02:20regime since 1979. We have the October 7th attack on Israel. The United States is not going to sit by
02:29and let that happen to a strong ally. We're not going to sit by and let that happen to England
02:34either. We're going to do something about it. So that's what you're seeing here. And like the
02:39president said, Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. He's doing the world a favor. Okay.
02:46He's doing the job that the rest of the world wants to be done. You don't hear outcry against
02:51that from any world leader. Okay. So we can agree on that. He made the right decision here. But I
02:56will
02:57say all of us, and I'm sure your listeners too, they want it over. They want it over quick. And
03:03the
03:03voters here want it over quick. And that was a contributor also why the Republicans lost. Highly
03:11valued reason among the gas and the price of food. That war has to, it should have been done.
03:19A lot of people scratching their heads. I'm into military strategy. I say, get it done.
03:24Otherwise, we've wasted our time there. And that regime has to go. The regime has to go.
03:30Give us your favorite, if you can. Give us your pick, if you can, for who potentially might be
03:37dealing with this in a couple of years' time, if this war is still going on. Who's going to be
03:41the
03:41next Republican nominee for president of the United States of America?
03:45Yeah, it's an excellent question. I really think this is between J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio. And
03:52based on polling, they're going to have to do that. But look, I think Rubio might be the nominee.
04:01I'm not sure if J.D. will continue and go. And they're going to look at all the information,
04:08what the voters are saying, what the Republicans are saying. It's one of those two. That is for
04:12certain. And I think if I were to pick right now, I think Rubio will try running.
04:20And do you think it's wise for J.D. Vance to step away because he has been very much part,
04:24overtly part of that Trump government that has been wiped out?
04:30Well, I just think that a new election, Republicans may want to kind of pick up the
04:40pieces from the loss of the midterms. Right. And I think J.D. Vance might be just too close
04:48to home on that loss. And they might want a fresh start where I think Rubio has been extraordinarily
04:56good at his position and level headed and balanced. Sorry, Barry, on that very quickly, if Donald Trump
05:04is going to, and as we heard just now from our correspondent, Daniel, it looks like he's going
05:12to double down now with people like Stephen Miller, who is looking after things. It certainly looks
05:18like the electorate do not appreciate that. Is that a risky strategy making Stephen Miller the man who
05:26will potentially make a lot of strong decisions? And these strong decisions that he has previously made
05:32has very much driven the voters away. Right. So Stephen Miller is very much unfiltered,
05:39like the president as well. Some people like I'm from New York, I have no problem with that. Other
05:44people, they don't like that. So he's a strong leader. He's not going to bend. He's not going to
05:48yield. And what that has done, I'm seeing now the Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries, the soon to be
05:55majority leader, they won't even deal with him. They they're saying, at least it's being reported,
06:00they won't even deal with him whatsoever. So I think we're going to have a period of time
06:06starting January where the White House and the Congress aren't even talking.
06:12So is it why he's just in a word, is it wise to appoint Stephen Miller as the man who's
06:18going to
06:18be making many of those decisions with Donald Trump? So it's a good question that I can only
06:24answer the time will tell. And it depends on what goal he's trying to achieve. If he's trying to upset
06:30the Democrats, he's already succeeded with that. He's won. Right. So if he's trying to get stuff done,
06:36I don't know. I could talk to you for another hour on this. It fascinates me. And thank you so
06:40much
06:41for coming on and joining us from Maryland. That's Republican delegate.
