00:00:00
okay Scott let's pivot to a listener question the question comes from David let's listen I've listened to the last
00:00:06
few podcasts in which both of you discuss the various nominees Trump has put forward for cabinet and other
00:00:13
important Administration positions my question for each of you has two parts which positions do each of you consider
00:00:21
the most important positions and why and second if you were president who would you nominate for the most important
00:00:28
positions in your Administration and why oh that's interesting that's a great question um I'll start um I think
00:00:34
the depart secretary of defense is critically important the Attorney General is critically important and
00:00:40
obviously the uh treasury secretary so I I If I Was President Trump or if I'm me
00:00:47
if I'm me I would have picked different I probably would have picked Jamie Diamond for the treasury job for the
00:00:53
head of the defense department that's that would be interesting I don't i' have to think maybe
00:01:00
oh God I wouldn't say Pete Buddha judge but someone who's someone who served and
00:01:04
who um who understands how to run big systems there's lots of people like that uh certainly not Pete heg uh by any
00:01:12
means I could run it better than him um and then the third attorney general someone you know not quite as partisan
00:01:19
and who didn't deny the election like Pam Bondi I do think she's actually has qualifications there's no question she
00:01:24
ran a big important States HS AG she knows her way around a courtroom Etc as they say um but I think those are the
00:01:32
most important but I I one of the ones as we're just talking about this United Healthcare thing is the the Health and
00:01:37
Human Services director I would make that Mark Cuban you know or someone like that to to you need to facilitate change
00:01:44
in how health care goes in this country very drastically and how we eat and the chemicals that are in our system I
00:01:50
completely agree with that but this fraking Nut Job RFK Jr who now looks good next to these other people is is a
00:01:56
disaster especially around vaccines and everything else so someone who respects science um I would say Mark cubin for
00:02:03
that job your turn Scott I would go I like the whole cable news as a Cabinet strategy I'd have danab bash I'd have D
00:02:10
but except I'd go another cable network I think the people at CNN are so impressive I think it should be
00:02:15
president danab bash her vice president is Anderson Cooper and we laugh but these people would be a hell of a lot
00:02:21
more confident than some of the people he's proposing now Peter hex and Peter Navaro give me a [ __ ] break I know or
00:02:28
cash these this would Michael smish I'd like to be Secretary of Commerce I'd like to see
00:02:36
um I would there's so many outstand I'd love to see Michael Bennett as Secretary
00:02:41
of Education oh yeah uh I think thec Morty as head of Health and Human Services I think he is he is the most
00:02:47
consequential Surgeon General in history bringing up loneliness and the stress on
00:02:51
parents um there's a ton of fantastic oh I would put together the hottest and most competent cabinet in history and
00:02:59
I'd give AOC a job just cuz she's ridiculously [ __ ] hot but and it's important to have good-looking people um
00:03:07
but R would have a spot in there I think Amy kishar I put at the head of the FTC
00:03:11
or the doj um is she a lawyer doj yes yes yes she's a lawyer WR that big giant antitrust book remember she's a she's a
00:03:18
good lawyer [ __ ] gangster She's Not Afraid of anybody oh she'd be a good AG oh yeah right yeah I would have a ton of
00:03:24
I I could oh my God put give me the chessboard I will put the pieces in the right place what would we be what would
