MATT WALSH (HOST): Now this one, as expected, has gotten a decidedly mixed reaction on the right. Now, on the left, it's not mixed. They are all in agreement that it's a disaster. They're apoplectic, in a state of shock, trembling with rage. This was a shock and awe pick by Trump. And I have to say, I love the pick. I think it's a great pick. I love this one. I love the Tulsi Gabbard pick. And I love them both for basically the same reason, which is that if we're serious about dismantling the deep state and gutting the federal bureaucracy, if that is actually going to happen, if it's going to happen for the first time ever, it will require certain kinds of people to do, and they're going to have to be the kinds of people that the media, the left, and many even on the right hate — which is why at this point, my number one qualification for a Trump cabinet post is that the media freaks out over it. That's like — if the media doesn't freak out, if Trump picks someone and the media is like, oh, oK, well, that one's not so bad, that tells me that it's a really, really bad pick. So this is what we want. And it's not because we're just trying to trigger the libs with the cabinet picks. I mean, trigger — that's fun. You know, we can all have fun with that. That's an added bonus. But no, it's because we need the kinds of brazen wildcard type characters who will go in there and do the job that needs to be done. You know, the wrecking balls, the bulls in the china shops, or whatever cliche you want to use. That's what's necessary. Matt Gaetz is definitely that, Tulsi Gabbard will be that, so I think it's a great pick.
