You know Tom Cruise difficult I had a producer we'd play Mission Impossible Music right now but that's asking a little bit much yesterday we did allow to yesterday I was troubleshooting in the studio so they're all exhausted I personally had to re-engineer the studio on the West Coast I'm there we go if you're in Vegas. You need to call me right now. All right 180-520-1234 the phone is ringing the channel Ben will pick that up and we'll see if we have someone in Vegas who is listening this morning at 3 o'clock in the morning who's competent to do the mission that I have to say as I was troubleshooting in the studio yesterday and so will he have up on your band he was in from Vegas he wasn't that he answers these are I answer and he said I'm not from Vegas because I called and said No no what what what in the world well then I said Well you bet you you need to improve call screening skills 1800 s. I want to get your little call 1234 we need someone from Vegas can we have the music back please that's important it's an important mission this is the key to Christmas even you can on his cell there's no news in the world and there isn't any mention of what we don't have a chief of staff and I don't care and brags that it's dead and I don't care I do care Ok about that all that but there's something actually happening in Las Vegas you know it is generally Simo. I there's always something I have in Vegas I have God only knows what you're talking about the winter meetings are happening in Vegas now for those of you who do not know what bus that you would be Soviet Russian spies if you don't know the Winter Meetings are when all the baseball executives get together and snickered at the angels lack of pitching staff and they snicker at the angels and they approach the Indians they approach might turn off and he's the general manager and Chris Hansen and he now Mike and Chris if you're up and listening are coming home from a meeting with me very carefully someone with playoff experience do not trade Corey Kluber or Trevor Bower All right do not trade the. That we have we just do not do it we have the best starting pitcher in baseball the best lineup in baseball and it's getting better with Cleve injure and Baber and Pluto it's getting better you've got Brad hand in the bullpen clime you've got everyone you need in Carson's going to hit like a 1000000 home runs and you want to save $20000000.00 in payroll What's the matter with you guys we've got some minor leaguers I'll send Wayne out to shag balls and I think Cleveland's going to trade clipper to the angels for pool straight up. Don't you wish I read from the Cleveland Plain Dealer owner Paul Dolan will make the final decision but Chris said that he and g.m. Mike sure enough are the guys preparing the recommendations that will guide the decision and it's something they approach with great diligence if they don't just about anyone they encounter reminds them of what should take yes few in Greater Cleveland have missed the fact that the Indians are contemplating trading starting pitchers Corey Kluber or Trevor Bower events and that he didn't know it before he left for the winning winter meetings he knows that now when he arrived at Hopkins International Airport for Sunday's flight to Las Vegas he was grilled at the ticket counter in the t.s.a. Screening stations like my life I got it from the security guard when I was getting screened on my way out said Anthony the president of baseball operations in the checking account or at the airport it's great one of the things that are great about sport people are passion about it they have these opinions are often happy to share those opinions Charron us growing usually takes a place in the morning when he drops the kids but it's gold 20 years that the Indians have given him and that he a thick skin but if you haven't heard all by now he's close to it I'm thankful that people are engage and care about the any incidental Netty who care enough to ask or offer their opinions as long as they're not throwing sharp objects when they're doing it that's the way I feel about it when people stop me in airports and tell me what they think if the trade happens it's going to be a tough one to sell no matter who goes or who stays it is something that Anthony and Chan operate thinking about constantly because the goal 'd never changes. Before the Indians left for Vegas Charron off Aunt Netty and stablished some safeguards for themselves think about this 30 teams in close confines that the Winter Meetings trade the urge to make a trade can sometimes take over that's why there's a guy named Frank Lane who will live forever in the infamy of Cleveland baseball annals he traded Rocky Kala beat out Frankie the traitor lane we try to use these meetings to help increase the frequency of interactions with teams said Charnock but not change your decision making dynamic it can cause a laugh or 2 Monday afternoon and today chair and often manager Terry Franco that has to be so much fun I would just love to sit down have a hot dog with these guys were eating lunch in their hotel suite and by the way I understand that Franco likes politics he didn't talk much to the reporters about it but I'm guessing he's one of us but common sense people. And they were watching the Major League Baseball network and the tweet was shown saying that trade talks were intensifying between the Indians and Dodgers in a trade involving Kluber they were in the room together not a Dodger representative was in sight so I laughed and continued eating lunch so. That's kind of my life is a tweets about something you've written about like I had Secretary Pompei Owen yesterday we're going to replay that interview because it was so important and the tweets about it were just hilarious and nothing to do with reality what he said or what he did or anything like that. But I'm just here to play he's run over to the Mandalay Bay with a sign that says do not trade power or club or that's all I want that's not too much to ask Wilmet take a picture we'll put it up we'll put it on the universe for you what's the Universe us that's the the subscription service at the Hugh Hewitt dot com show that's where you get every hour of every show commercial free and all the archives dating back 1000 years and the after show run by doing every day at 8 pm Eastern 5 pm Western memory holds forth and plays all the audio he doesn't give me and Duane Af-Am and the special stuff like you and hitch 70 hours of my conversation with Christopher Hitchens over the years before he died there's all sorts of stuff that the universe but you got to subscribe if you want that it's also on demand so it's a great service go get the Universe this morning but let me quickly run through the morning stories a member of Britain's parliament sees the ceremonial mace yesterday. Then there was a very funny tweet Britain has fallen it's the matrix up front it's decorated with roses their souls and pearls represents the royal authority of the crown from which the Houses of Parliament derive their authority the object dates at least to $1559.00 and this maze was likely made for Charles the 2nd the 17th century king restored to the throne after the Puritan Commonwealth each day the House of Commons meets the Sergeant of Arms another historical role which dates the 14th hundreds brings the mates into the house at the beginning and the end of a sitting now so large has got its own mesas in democracies you have these symbolic pieces of theater pieces of history said Tony Travers a professor of government at the London School of Economics the physical manifestation of the authority of crown the crown of being head of state so of course some knucklehead member of the Labor party named John Beckett upset about the suspension of the minister that was in 1930 got up and grabbed the mates and they stopped them he was suspended for 2 years later it happened again and then it happened in $1088.00 when a Scottish member of the Labor party picked up the mace during a debate on the poll tax but today after months of bitter negotiations or yesterday after months of bitters negotiation Lloyd Russell more oil picked it up and started to walk out with it he's a millennial of course he gave it up with a fight when he was stopped by a white high right haired lady who then restored it to its place but for a while constitutional government had fallen in in Britain yesterday if you haven't seen the You Tube thing of this yet it's just of course he's a millennial showing off of course it's really just of course a millennial showing off I'd also like to tell everyone that Theresa May is done the Tories need a new leader faster is the Ian Martin lead column in The Times of London this morning Melanie Phillips writes The b.b.c.

Or a new referendum to free lawmakers from the burden of deciding presumably someone will eventually have to pick some option it's also false to frame that this decision by the term and by Britain will determine Britain's future forever Britain and the e.u.

He was my commander in chief and then I had a chance to get to know him a little bit what I was a sad director who was most generous with his time and his thoughts about how to make that institution. Instructive powerful and useful to the present United States and to make it work well on behalf of the American people he was a it was a gentleman he was generous and I always enjoyed my conversations with him you know a lot of people said Going to the CIA would render him in an eligible for the presidency but do you think generally being the director of the CIA is good preparation for being in the top job you know I think being the director say gives you insights into the way the world really works on the ground in some of the most difficult parts of the country and I think that background served President Bush very well as he moved into his role as commander in chief you know Mr Secretary other no art has served you so wonderfully well and graduations are going to the u.n.

From Iran to invade Iraq Israel the United States fully supports Israel's. Right and we do our best to support their capability to defend themselves from Iranian aggression these tunnels are Iranian connected Lebanese Hezbollah efforts to. File a the most basic premise of an American sovereignty of national sovereignty that is digging tunnels under someone's terrain and so we support Israel's right to defend itself occluding the exercises on the Israeli side of the border that they now are calling Northern Shield now I've got to take your speech in Brussels last week would have been earth shaking had it not been for George Herbert Walker Bush his funeral I quote as you announced the withdrawal of the United States and 6 today from the i.n.f. Treaty these violations of the i.n.f. Treaty cannot be viewed in isolation from the larger pattern of Russian lawlessness on the world stage the list of Russia's infamous axis long Georgia Ukraine Syria election meddling scree Paul and now the courage trade to just name a few Mr Secretary that is the greatest brushback of Russia since Reagan in Berlin did you get any reaction from Mr Putin to that. They they did they didn't think we had it quite right which gives me great confidence that in fact we did get it right look what I was intending to do there was articulate president trumps. Efforts around the world to continue the tradition of American leadership to keep the world prosperous and the people around the world secure it is it is a model that depends on national sovereignty and depends on calling things out when they no longer make sense and so they i.n.f. Treaty is but one example it was formed in the late 1980 s. It may well have made sense then but it no longer made sense for America to be the wholly party to that treaty that was complying with it and it no longer made sense not only for America but for Europe in the world and so we're fully engaged in doing everything we can we want to make sure Europe is safe but they. Treaty no longer provided assurance in the same way that it did in the 1980 s. And when that's the case President Trump is going to make sure we call that out so you do a tough as nails speech and then Vladimir Putin the criminal looks at me sees Paris on fire grates riots Italy fighting with the sclerotic e.u. Bureaucracy driving the United Kingdom to the edge of a political crisis can your speech and can the United States deter him when he sees Russia and when he sees Europe in Athens in chaos Well the speech certainly sets down the marker but what Russia understands of course is action plan to stand. Actual responses the United States and under President Trump has been incredibly strong in doing that we've provided defensive weapon systems to the Ukrainians We have sanctioned senior officials inside of Russia the list of our efforts to restore deterrence of Lattimer Putin is long there's still obviously remains a great deal of work to do now Mr Secretary you also noted in your speech about the ins that we are is no advantage no reason the United States should continue to cede this crucial military advantage to the revisionist powers like China talking about China's new missile capability in the 60 campaign. Richard Nixon for Missile Gap do we presently have a quote hypersonics gap close quote with China. So I don't want to say much about gaps because they have a long history of being misunderstood here is what we can say with absolute certainty the Chinese continue to build up their capabilities their satellite capabilities their hypersonic capabilities their artificial intelligence capabilities the capacity of the Pilate to conduct operations not only in their territory but in a more expeditionary fashion United States has a duty to defend itself and we need to make sure that we have the resources and the right set of leaders and capabilities so that we don't find ourselves in a place 25 or 15 years from now are we where we no longer maintain the capacity to keep America safe and secure against all threats especially including the one that the Chinese are building now how is in fact the Chinese action different in kind from that of Imperial Japan and their Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere are they acting as aggressively in these years as Japan did in the early thirty's so they have taken actions that are very aggressive and indeed in some cases they have misled us he'll recall that in the Rose Garden press she confirmed that he would not melt militarize these. I'll call them islands but these outposts in the South China Sea and then in fact it did and so we now know that the intention of China is to continue to build out to continue to expand their capability and President Trump for president she talked about the some when they were together and when I'm sorries and we were determined to make sure that America is prepared across every battle front I didn't mention cyber previously each of these battlefronts as a place the United States must sure we maintain our capacity to be the premier capability of the world let me conclude Mr Secretary thank you for your time. Time is the People's Republic of China the greatest threat to the west now greater than Russia greater than Iran is that our 100 year or 200 year threat and we have to think about it in those terms I don't think there's any doubt about that over over the 51025 year time horizon. Just just by simple demographics and wealth as well as by the internal system in that country China presents the greatest challenge that the United States will face in the medium to long term Mr Secretary Merry Christmas I appreciate your taking the time congratulations on a big speech last weekend and I hope it gets much much broader repetition and broadcast Thank you Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas to you both so it's always good to talk to the secretary of state that happens when another cabinet member on later in the program Andrew Wheeler the administrator of the e.p.a. And he'll be here to talk about the new world on the water of the United States but all of the speculation is who's going to be the new 2nd chief of staff. They the list has got a lot of great people it's an actually else am this morning it includes Representative Mark Meadows who's a very good guy acting attorney general Matt Whitaker I don't know who he is but people like him over d.o.j. I just don't they can be the acting attorney general under the Constitution you need advice and consent Mick Mulvaney is very smart he likes being in the o.m.b. Chris Christie would be good but my favorite my favorite is not David Bossie many people thought it was going to say Boss because he's a political but they that are but I've only met or been a couple of times I don't know him well I'm very impressed with him on c.n.n. I'm very impressed with his West Point career is Army career I think you need someone who's got a pretty big personality as David urban does to run that job to get the respect of the president the listening of the president the ability not to be intimidated when the president is off on one of his. Frolics and detours into. Being upset with this or that in Washington d.c. Any normal person would be so my friend January yesterday this is the craziest damn place I've ever lived I lived here from 1903 to 99 I've been back for a couple of years and you know I'm 62 so that and I spent about a decade inside a d.c. And I've lived in New York City I've lived in Los Angeles I've lived in Orange County I've lived in Ohio I've lived in Michigan and this is the craziest place I've ever lived I've traveled the world and this is the craziest place I've ever lived because everybody is on 24 seventh's nobody like talks about baseball nobody talks about anything except politics and who's up who's down so it's a giant game what is that game we've got all the stakes in the in the pile pick up sticks there's another one now there's where you've got you've built a tower of would you pull a piece out that Chandra it's just a giant bank a place everyone is connected with everyone else and if you move one stick the other then could come down and so I think David Gergen would be terrific at this job and we will see I hope they figure it out in a hurry because it's the most boring speculative speculation in the world to talk about alleged Russian agent Maria but Tina expected to plead guilty now some of this has got mixed up with Trump got up there with Trump the Russians ran an agent Maria Bettina who got close to people via the n.r.a. I never been to an n.r.a. Convention so Maria doesn't know me but honestly I joke with everyone if you watch the Americans you don't talk to anyone with a Russian accent.

Welcome back American spirit I swear if they played Christmas Muppet. Movie back to back with the John Denver Christmas special in the theater I go every year David Drucker is my guest trucker you know like the Muppet family Christmas right and the thing I go on I go off and Drucker we've got the endless game of musical chairs in the White House it's the worst kind of news speculation without anything whatsoever behind it I read a story earlier today about the Indians front office sitting in a room in Las Vegas seeing there were negotiations with the Dodgers and laughing and laughing because they were not negotiations with the Dodgers and here we have chief of staff names being floated in x. You know some politico what you're reporting on a front runner if you have any reporting on a front runner I have no portal Central and you know Mark not alone Joe Namath's not as much yesterday. A lot of different. But you know I don't really know what's popular source and sometimes not what the president you know when he's going I don't know. When the c.e.o. Office said to me and I really believe this is like this really matter. And as a matter desired I mean and I don't mean it flippantly I think the president is a different kind of president in this way he doesn't want to give away that sort of power the chief of staff and usually have to whoever he hires. Just 1st to Chief Streicher being normal chief of staff as we know in the modern era they try to regulate the flow of information and people President they tried to keep a lot of things away from the president because usually the Chiefs try and do is reserve the president's time and energy for the really big things and so they keep a lot of other things and when the president isn't like that and the president just goes around his chief of staff writer is going to whole group of people and talks to. His son in law and his daughter and the rest of the Shanley actually are a lot more influential I think sometimes that people realize it's it's much more like it was on the campaign. In the White House it's just doesn't get the kind of attention because now he has you know a bunch of people around him out of position I like to point out the people that f.d.r. Didn't have a chief of staff and Lincoln didn't have a chief of staff that it's a new invention Haldeman invented it and he invented it and everyone thinks that that's the way it's got to be but it isn't the way it's got to be. I think Truman is the last president. Without a doubt to go with the chief of staff and I know my history correctly you're right but I Haldeman involved in invented the new modern system where every piece of paper has to cross it that's because Sherm Adams did not stand in the way of some of the cabinet members etc but Haldeman really made a point at which you get access to the president no look you know and and I think you're right look I think the Trump is looking for a different kind of chief I think Trump wants really just somebody will facilitate not somebody to manage and very well put and I mean manage his staff and you know I think yes Want Somebody To You know so look at get this guy on the phone and I don't you know hold that you know in an executive assistant an executive assistant and a sounding board someone and I personally would prefer David urban because I think the West Point Training helps here if you've been a staff officer you know what he wants he wants a staff officer chief of staff at the present United States has by the way tweeted cd d.v.d. Cd d.v.d. Do you. See the term minutes ago the president wrote despite the large caravans that were and cabs forming and heading to our country people have not been able to get through our newly built walls makeshift walls and fences or Border Patrol officers and military they are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries dot dot dot dot dot dot dot David Drucker your response. Well I always felt that this administration had the power to prevent the caravan from overrunning the border which I will just say. Made the focus on this issue during the election and the possibility of overrunning the border always very curious to be a trainer for justice so of course sitting over on the board in meetings this administration didn't want them to overrun the border and it was always the sort of smoke and mirrors type of fear the president drummed up which I only bring up because it was politically counterproductive to his party in the house and help in the Senate possibly a lot but it did not help in the house it cost them a lot of the kind of story coming out of that today I've got I've got impairing Davis he doesn't mind was in the house it's my theory he doesn't mind he doesn't find articles. About you have you may have you may be right you may be right but you should care. Sometimes yes just say what you think. So. Care about what's going on at the at the house level they're going to send him the pinas he's got to laugh and say This is Article one that article please go away and he's going to find an agent quick question Bill Barr is the nominee norm a few people not Norm Ornstein of the other guy the other norm Eisen has raised the question of whether or not Bill Barr previously discussed with the president representing him and therefore would be recused has that come up in your radar or is that just a.
