The Deep State’s Next Target: Tulsi Gabbard (Ep.99) · V

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. Deep
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: state officials are trying to destroy Tulsi Gabbard. Senator Joni
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Ernst is exposed for wanting to trance the military and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: draft women. Secret Service Director Ron Roe starts screaming during
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a congressional hearing. Joe Scarborough says that cutting government waste
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: is somehow a scam. Joy Reid claims banning the trancing
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of kids is Nazi behavior. And Bill Clinton wants the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: law fair to end now that Republicans have taken power.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: All this on Bongina Report, early edition. If you think
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that any of this ends with Pete Hegseth, think again.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Every key Trump nominee, and therefore Trump's agenda, are under assault.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And I fear that especially with the Matt Gaetz withdrawal,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we have set a really dangerous tone of weakness, that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Trump's nominees can just be smeared and bullied out of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this process without forcing the senators to even cast a
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: no vote. According to reports out of Washington, Senate Republicans
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: are currently trying to push against Director of National Intelligence
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: nominee Tulsi Gabbard. One Senate GOP aide told The Hill,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I think Gabbard, out of the three, still has the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: toughest path. She is the most at risk. And then yesterday,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we learned that nearly 100 former national security officials wrote
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a letter to Senators John Thune and Chuck Schumer accusing
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbard of having sympathy for dictators such as Putin
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and Assad and questioning her qualifications for the job. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in this letter, the national security officials cited when Gabbard
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: traveled to Syria, in 2017 to meet with President Bashar al-Assad.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Here's why Tulsi said that she traveled to Syria back
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in 2017.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: But obviously Bashar al-Assad is responsible for thousands of deaths
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and millions of people being displaced during this five year
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: long civil war. Did you have any compunctions about meeting
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: with somebody like that, giving him any sort of enhanced
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: credibility because a member of the United States Congress would
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: meet with someone like that?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Whatever you think about President Assad, the fact is that
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: he is the president of Syria. In order for any
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: peace agreement, in order for any possibility of a viable
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: peace agreement to occur, there has to be a conversation
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: with him. The Syrian people will determine his outcome and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: what happens with their government and their future. But our focus,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: my focus, my commitment is on ending this war that
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: has caused so much suffering to these Syrian people, to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: these children, to these families, many of whom I met
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: on this trip.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The issue is that our government doesn't want the Syrian
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: people to decide their own future. Tulsi met with Assad
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: as well as opposition leaders and civilians for firsthand understanding
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of the situation on the ground. That's something that I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: think every congressman and woman should do, especially if you're
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: green-lighting funds for regime change operations in the Middle East,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: which is what was happening in Syria at that time.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Informed by what she saw in Syria, Tulsi fiercely has
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: advocated for an end to U.S. funding and support of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: armed Islamic extremist terrorist groups that have devastated Christians and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: other minorities in Syria and other parts of the Middle East.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Here is Tulsi, again in 2017, actually meeting with Christians
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in Syria.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: There's two more.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Our church was established in 1848. But the building goes
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: beyond that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: And we used to worship here until 2012, July. On July,
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: when we came to the church to worship, we faced
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: some gangs in who asked us to leave the church.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: So we left the church.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Later, the backyard of the church was targeted by them
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: and exploded by them.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Later on, at.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: The end of the year, maybe on November of 2012,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: they bombed the church from down and exploded all. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: they were happy on their websites being proud to say
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: that we destroyed the people who worship three gods. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: think that as Christians we believe in three gods.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And by three gods, of course, he's referring to the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Christian belief in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. So let's just recap. The United States
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: has been funding Islamic terrorists to stage regime change in Syria.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And all that it's done is lead to the suffering
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of the Syrian people, particularly Christians in that region. And
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: this is an incredible thing because we are a Christian country.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: We were founded that way. The vast majority of Americans
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: identify that way. It's the largest religious group in the country.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And yet we are funding the destruction of our brothers
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and sisters in Christ in the Middle East. And there's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: not one place where U.S. regime change has made a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: country more stable and less violent. And yet the permanent
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: state doesn't want you knowing that. That's why they opposed
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Tulsi going to Syria in 2017. They don't want you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: knowing that your tax dollars are funding ISIS and Al Qaeda,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: who are butchering Christians in the Middle East. So they
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: call Tulsi a threat to national security. It's actually disgusting.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And this is actually why we need Tulsi Gabbard in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: charge of national intelligence. Because the long war in Syria
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: has recently resumed. Essentially, currently, the U.S., Turkey, and Israel
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: are supporting Islamic terrorists to topple Assad like they have
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: armed and used terrorists in the past. Aleppo once had
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the largest Christian population in Syria prior to the U.S.-backed war.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of 2011, with some 200,000 Christians fleeing the city in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the last 13 years. So the Syriac Christians, one of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the oldest Christian communities in the world, could face extermination
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: under this new regime of freedom being pushed by our
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: State Department. In Aleppo, the US and Israel-backed terrorists have
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: already begun removing all Christmas decorations and then beheading captured soldiers. Meanwhile,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the Western media is cheering on all of these terrorists.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And again, we have a history of supporting groups who
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: kill Christians and other religious minorities. The U.S. invasion of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Iraq killed over a million historic Christians. And the Turks,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a U.S. NATO ally, once killed over a million Christians
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in Armenia, which is the oldest Christian nation on Earth.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I want you to listen to J.D. Vance discuss the U.S.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: 's butchering of Christians in the Middle East.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: And not only that, not only do we create a
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: proxy of Iran in the Middle East at the cost
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: of thousands of American lives, we also precipitated the genocide
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: of one of the oldest Christian communities in the entire world.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: Now we're talking about moral intuitions and I think our
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: moral intuitions have to influence our foreign policy objectives here.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: If you had told the American people, if George W.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Bush had stood before the American people in 2003 and said,
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: hey guys, we're gonna go to war not to eradicate
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: weapons of mass destruction or to spread democracy, We're going
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: to go to war to create a regional proxy for
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: Iran and to slaughter over a million historical Christians. Not
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: that they will be slaughtered at our hands, but our
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: actions will lead to the genocide of the historical Christian community.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: I don't think Americans would have supported it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: No, they wouldn't have. Every regime change in the Middle
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: East has created immigration crises, the murder of historical Christians
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and other minorities, and instability. And the people who orchestrated
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: all of these foreign policy failures, and frankly, crimes against humanity,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: don't want you to know what Tulsi Gabbard had discovered
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in 2017. And they want you to believe that she
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: is unqualified. And to them, I say, can it? All right,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break. When we come back,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I have some important updates on the war on Pete Hexeth.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. Shout out to our sponsors. We're always
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: so grateful to them. They keep the show free. All right,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: let's talk about Pete Hexeth. Yesterday, we covered how Senator
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Joni Ernst will not commit to voting for Hexeth and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: is reportedly trying to get Trump to nominate her instead
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of Pete Hexeth. Here is Senator Ernst yesterday on Fox.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: Okay, it doesn't sound on your answer that you've gotten
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: to a yes.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: If I'm wrong about that, correct me.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: And if that is the case, it sounds to me
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: as if the hearing will be critical for his nomination.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Am I right about that?
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: I think you are right. I think for a number
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: of our senators, they want to make sure that any
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: allegations have been cleared. And that's why we have to
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: have a very thorough vetting process. And that's why I
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: was happy to sit down with Pete and have that
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: conversation with him yesterday. So, again, all I will say
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: at this time is that we did have a very
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: thorough thorough discussion over a number of those issues. And
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: the vetting will continue, I am certain, through the next
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: month or so until we approach that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Hearing date. And he has... It's not a number of senators.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: It's her. It's her. And I guess maybe Lindsey Graham,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: who she enlisted to lobby for her to Trump, that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: she should replace Pete Hegseth. So people... They're pretty angry
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: at Joni Ernst and they started to do some digging
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: on her. Who is she? What does she stand for?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And it was revealed that Joni Ernst supports both the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: trancing of the military and requiring women to be eligible
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: for the draft. Here is Joni saying the US military
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: needs so-called transgender talent.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: So the example of transgender people serving in our military,
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: we have transgender people serving in our military.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: They will bleed red just.
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: As the rest of us. But I also take a
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: stance that we should not be integrating transgender people into
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: certain situations where it does make, if you have a
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: female barracks and you have a transgender woman who has
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: not transitioned, we shouldn't make the rest of the unit
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: uncomfortable about that setting. There are certain accommodations we can
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: make for that transgender individual. But if they bring value
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: to our unit, if they have specialties that we can use,
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: especially if we want to maintain an all-volunteer force, we
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: want to bring that talent into our services. And I
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: know that's controversial. But again, I'm looking at what's good
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: for our nation. And believe me, when we're facing a
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: recruiting challenge right now, if people are physically willing and
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: able to serve our country, we want them to do so.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Somebody says, Joni is a phony. You guys, she's not
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: thinking about what's in the best interest of the American
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: people and the lethality of our military. I think that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: what she said there in that statement, completely disqualifying to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: be the Secretary of Defense. And I have a lot
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of sympathy for transgender identifying people. Whatever kind of mental
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: anguish would possess somebody to chop off body parts, that's horrifying.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: That's really distressing. But that's why they're not fit for
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the military. Gender dysphoria is a tragic mental illness. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: these are people who need help. The military can disqualify
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you for having asthma or colorblindness. The military is allowed
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to have strict standards. And if you cost the military
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: more than you're worth, you can't serve. It's not only
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: difficult to integrate trans people because they claim to be
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the opposite sex, but the military also has to pay
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: for these people's hormones and even sometimes surgeries. And in
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the wake of a recruiting crisis, particularly after COVID, excommunicated
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: thousands of red state boys, the last thing the military
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: needs is to be recruiting so-called transgender talent. It's unclear
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: what conservative values Joni Ernst holds. In 2020, during the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: historic and awful BLM-Marxist race rioting, Joni Ernst pushed the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: false narrative that America is a racist country. Take a listen.
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: Today, many people across the United States are honoring the
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: life of George Floyd. And so I would just encourage
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: everybody to take pause and really reflect upon the loss
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: of his life and recognize that it was taken way
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: too soon And it is very unfortunate that his death
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: was the catalyst for talks that needed to happen a
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: very long time ago. So I think it is a
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: great time for us to reflect upon the life and
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: the loss of George Floyd and understand the significance of
• 14:00
  Speaker 9: moving forward and having really positive, encouraging talks about what
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: it is to be a person of color across the
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: United States.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: America is not an inherently racist country. There are no
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: unique hardships faced by people of color. And George Floyd
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: was a felon who at the time of his death
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: had a fatal level of fentanyl in his system. He
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: was in the midst of robbing a convenience store with
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: counterfeit money and had previously robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: George Floyd's death was exploited by the left to burn
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: American cities and declare war on American heritage and identity.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And then you have Republican leaders like Joni Ernst repeating
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: those same talking points from the left that perpetuated the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: destruction of American cities in 2020 and the lie that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: America is a racist country. I think it says a lot.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Savannah Hernandez summed up everything we know about Senator Ernst
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pretty succinctly. She voted to confirm Lloyd Austin, the Secretary
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of Defense and the man responsible for the horrific Afghanistan
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: withdrawal and who enforced Biden's unconstitutional military vaccine mandate. She
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: supports transgender soldiers in the military. She votes for Democrats
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: 38% of the time. She called for the U.S. to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: send more money and weapons to Ukraine and called Zelensky
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: an inspirational leader. And she allegedly had an affair with
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: one of her servicemen while deployed, according to divorce papers,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: which again is pretty ironic. considering that she has suggested
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that Pete's divorce and affairs are somehow disqualifying of him.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Savannah writes that Joni now has the full force of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: independent media, lawyers, and political commentators on X planning her
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: primary in 2026. And can I just say that Joni Ernst,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and she's also being compared to Nikki Haley, she's Nikki
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Haley 2.0. I think these two women think that being
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: tough as a woman in politics means killing people. It
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: means pushing for war whenever you have the opportunity to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: do so. But real strength is through peacemaking. Tulsi Gabbard
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: exudes measured competence, someone who's willing to fight, but only
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: when necessary because as a leader, her priority is the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: lives and safety of the American people. Michael and I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: have had this conversation before. There are few people in Washington,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I think, that he'd respect enough to fight under. But
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: he would get behind Tulsi Gabbard Men aren't against following women,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: but they definitely are not going to follow, as P.C.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Keenan puts it, any of these bloodthirsty pinheads in pantsuits.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And chat, Michael, was that a correct assessment?
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Chat, I want you to take a guess. How many
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Democrat senators voted against Biden's cabinet nominees? Take a guess.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: How many do you think? Zero. Zero. And we're dealing
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: with this problem from our own, in our own party.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Our own party are trying to thwart the mandate that, again,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: they were elected with via this Trump wave. The only
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: reason that we have the House and the Senate is
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: because people went with Trump. The country went with Trump
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and they tend to vote down the ticket. So instead
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: of thwarting Trump's mandate, these senators should be 100% on board.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: We should have no problem from any of them with
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: any of these nominations because they represent the people and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the people voted for Trump and his mandate. Now, yesterday,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a leftist on X posted this photo of Pete with
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the caption, Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense visiting the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: 9-11 memorial in his underwear. The Pentagon has nothing to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: worry about. Our armed forces have longed to be led
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: by a drunk rapist in his underwear. Now, Pete is
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not drunk, a drunk, nor is he a rapist. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: he's wearing a bathing suit after completing the New York
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: City seal swim across the Hudson River, which raises money
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: for the Navy SEAL community, veterans, and families. Do you
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: see how vicious these smears are? He's in his underwear. Meanwhile,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he was in a swimsuit after doing a fundraising event
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: for Navy SEALs. Here is Pete at the Navy SEAL swim.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: This is the warm-up one-mile run.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: You ready, Hegsack?
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: It's a one-mile run over to the water's edge where
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: Will and I will then put on fins and start
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: the swim. About 70 Navy SEALs, vets, first responders, Gold
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: Star families, patriots all, honoring those who serve, remembering 9-11.
• 19:00
  Speaker 12: Three miles, 300 push-ups, 66 pull-ups, all.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: To honor the Navy SEAL Foundation.
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: So we're two little, tiny parts of it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Will, you ready? Here we go.
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: One, two, three, go.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Right now, they're on their first leg of the swim.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I am told this is the most difficult portion of
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it because they're actually swimming against the current right now.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It's about a one-mile swim. They're on their way to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island.
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: When you pass by that Statue of Liberty in the
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: water and then you see what these guys can do.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And, you know, we're doing this one morning. Right.
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: When you think about the fact this is what.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: They do for a day job. Right. You know, across
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the globe on.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Behalf of all of us.
• 19:42
  Speaker 13: Will just finished the first leg.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: It looks like he beat out Pete, so props to Will, Will.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: how you doing? How's the water out there?
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: It's a little chilly.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: No, it's good.
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: It's the current strong coming across you.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: But we did well. It was fun.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: We're looking for Pete.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth completed the first leg of the swim.
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: How you doing?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Glory to God.
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: God bless the Navy SEALs.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: You guys, I remember when my mom was doing the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: reporting while they were at the Navy SEAL swim. And
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the boys are awesome. She loved it. And it's obvious
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that Pete is a guy who loves this country. He's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a decorated veteran, combat experience. He's a good man. And
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the way that he is being smeared is just so
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: vile and shameful. As somebody who knows Pete, And again,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and this is what's so crucial, if Pete goes down,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Kennedy and Tulsi will go down too. No non-establishment pick
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: has a chance if they successfully boot out Pete. It
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: sets a tone. We're going to keep talking about Capitol Hill. Yesterday,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe, you guys know who
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: he is. If you listen to Dan Bongino's show, You
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: know Ron Rowe. He was being grilled by Texas Representative
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Pat Fallon as part of the investigation by the Congressional
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Task Force set up to examine the two attempts on
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's life. And let's just say that all hell
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: broke loose. Fallon asked Ron Rowe why he moved the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: top protective agents farther away from Biden and Harris during
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the 9-11 commemoration ceremony. Fallon suggested that Roe did this
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: essentially as a photo op for himself and put the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: lives of Biden and Harris at risk so he could
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: be prominently seen. In other words, Ron Roe compromised the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: president and vice president's safety for a photo op. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Ron Roe lost his mind at this accusation. Take a listen.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I do.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: Is that a remembrance of September 11th?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It was. Was it in New York?
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: It was at Ground Zero.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: Who is usually at an event like this closest to
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: the President of the United States, security-wise?
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: The SAC of the detail.
• 22:15
  Speaker 12: Special Agent in Charge of the detail. Were you the
• 22:17
  Speaker 12: Special Agent in Charge of the detail that day? Actually,
• 22:21
  Speaker 12: let me address this. Could you please, staff, leave that
• 22:24
  Speaker 12: one up with the circle around me?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: Actually, Congressman, what you're not seeing is the sack of
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: the detail off out of the picture's view. And that
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: is the day where we remember the more than 3,000
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: people that have died on 9-11. I actually responded to
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Ground Zero. I was there going through the ashes of
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: the World Trade Center. I was there at Fresh Kills.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: I'm not asking you that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: I'm asking you.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: I was there, Congressman.
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: I was there to show respect for a Secret Service
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: member that died on 9-11. Do not invoke 9-11 for
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: political purposes.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm not.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I'm invoking this.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: You are, sir.
• 23:06
  Speaker 12: Gentlemen, I would like to ask him a question.
• 23:08
  Speaker 14: You are out of line, Congressman.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I can't take.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: These guys seriously. Oh, is that it, Mikey? We didn't
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: have any more?
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: No.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's okay. Listen, I can't help but laugh at that.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: It is actually very serious. So Ron Rowe appears to
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: have put the safety of the president and vice president
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: at risk because he personally switched the position of normal
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: operating procedure so that he himself could be next to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Biden and seen by the cameras. And then when he
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: was asked about it, he screamed about being around during 9-11,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: which is a gross deflection. First of all, I think
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Roe was totally unhinged and out of line, and someone
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that emotional cannot have the consequential high-stress job of Secret
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Service Director. This man holds Trump's life in his hands.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but that deeply concerns me.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: And here's what gets me about how unhinged Roe became.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Representative Fallon is speaking on behalf of us. He's speaking
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: on behalf of the American people. So when Roe starts
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: screaming at Fallon, he's actually addressing the American people. And
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: his response to a fair and important question pertaining to
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the safety of this president, who we all know is
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: at intense risk of assassination, is to deflect and to scream.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: It's disrespectful to us, the American people. And I found
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: it appalling and I found it disqualifying. He needs to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: be removed as a Secret Service director as soon as possible. Now,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: still on Capitol Hill, Elon Musk met with members of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Congress yesterday and strategized about his new government efficiency task force.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: But not everybody is too stoked about it. According to
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough of MSNBC, Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: is a scam. Take a listen.
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: But this is a scam.
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: Unless they're going to slash Social Security and Medicare and
• 25:14
  Speaker 13: Veterans Affairs.
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: They're never going to get to $ 2 trillion. So they
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: need to just stop pretending.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: You know, Joe, I feel like Vanna White.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just turning letters up here, and you're actually, I
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: can't say, Jack.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: It makes me so mad.
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: It's so disingenuous.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to be your letter guy. But you look,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you said it exactly right, Joe.
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: This is a completely disingenuous, unrealistic, ridiculous idea.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous and unrealistic to cut government waste. Guys, this
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is how you know MSNBC is regime controlled media. Truly,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: this is a baffling take. Does Joe Scarborough want to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: continue allowing the NIH to send U.S. tax dollars to
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: dozens of Chinese animal torture labs where beagles as young
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: as one year old have their spinal cords severed and
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: are executed once the experiment is over? Does he like
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: funding people who give puppies LSD, puncture their livers, and
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: implant tumors in their bodies? Yeah, our tax dollars go
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to that. Is Joe cool with the government, through various
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: foreign aid NGOs, funding the Taliban? The Taliban! also funding
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: regime change operations, and Syria, and Islamic terrorists who are
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: killing Christians. This is the seventh year in a row
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the Department of Defense did not pass its financial audit.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: That's unacceptable. And why is the NIH spending $ 1. 8 billion
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: a year studying racism? Why have we spent $ 15 million
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: on security services for Anthony Fauci in the last two years?
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: The waste is unfathomable. within every single federal agency. And
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: this is a bipartisan issue that only the regime-controlled media
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: would oppose. Personally, and they made the point about Medicare,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Social Security, I think Medicare and Social Security need to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: be reformed in the short term. And in the long term,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I think it needs to be totally abolished. That's my opinion.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Older people in the chat, I'm sorry. And I think
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: there's probably a way to do this generationally to slowly
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: expunge it. All I know is that my generation is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: never going to see that money. We're just paying into
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: it and we're never gonna actually get it. But again,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: in the short term, no one is cutting Medicare and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Social Security. Trump has said this repeatedly, and that's fine
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: because clearly there are many, many things that could be cut.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And MSNBC's response that this is somehow futile and a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: bad idea is unbelievable. Now, the Supreme Court is still
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: hearing the case on Tennessee's trancing of kids ban on
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: And I think this case is culturally very damaging for
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the left because every argument made on the side of
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: trancing kids proves how clinically insane these people are. Here
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: is a protester outside the Supreme Court saying that having
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a transgender child made her more interesting.
• 28:04
  Speaker 14: I think the greatest gift of my life is to
• 28:07
  Speaker 14: have kids and to have a transgender child has made
• 28:12
  Speaker 14: me so much more interesting, so much more wise. And
• 28:21
  Speaker 14: for the Supreme Court justices, I encourage them to talk
• 28:26
  Speaker 14: to their kids, their grandkids, their nieces and nephews, because
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: I'll bet if they really sit down and ask them,
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: do you know trans kids around you? Do you have
• 28:37
  Speaker 14: any non-binary friends? They're going to say yes. And they're
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: going to say that this is part of the beautiful
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: rainbow of human beings.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: It's almost as if this woman wanted a trans kid,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: so she created one. Remember that kids don't just decide
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to become trans. Adults are always the instigators. Here's a
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: couple interviewed outside the Supreme Court with their trans-identifying child.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to how young they say their child
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: knew they were trans. What age do you think most
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: trans kids determine that they're trans?
• 29:16
  Speaker 15: Violet told us when she was one and a half.
• 29:20
  Speaker 15: She's been telling us since she could speak. So she
• 29:26
  Speaker 15: knew since birth.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's impossible. This deranged couple, almost certainly just the mother,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: coerced that little boy into thinking he's a girl. Here's
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: a CNN host saying young girls girls can know if
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: they want to give birth and nurse a baby in
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the future, and little kids can know if they're trans.
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: I think a lot of people are confused about this issue.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: They don't know where they stand on it, but where
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: is the room for a conversation about this?
• 29:55
  Speaker 16: I'd love that we're having one right now in terms
• 29:58
  Speaker 16: of a conversation, and that's what was at issue today.
• 30:01
  Speaker 16: What kid, what girl knows whether she's going to want
• 30:05
  Speaker 16: to have a baby long-term or what testosterone will do
• 30:09
  Speaker 16: to her uterus or that she will increase her risk of.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Heart attacks by taking these drugs?
• 30:13
  Speaker 14: Some of them do.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: No, no. None of them. No, I don't think that-
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: None of them do.
• 30:20
  Speaker 16: 85%, what we know from the science, and again, it's
• 30:23
  Speaker 16: about not putting ideology over evidence and that's what's happening here.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Children are a protected class. They're mentally challenged. They don't
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: have autonomy because their brains aren't developed. No child is
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: capable of understanding the long-term repercussions of sterilizing themselves. Again,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: before they can buy a scratch-off ticket. Because they are children.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: But I guess saying that makes me a Nazi. Yes,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a Nazi. Here is Joy Reid claiming that transgender bans
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: amount to Nazism.
• 30:56
  Speaker 13: Targeting trans people isn't new. It is an age-old tradition,
• 30:59
  Speaker 13: which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s.
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons
• 31:06
  Speaker 13: of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold
• 31:10
  Speaker 13: Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Opposing the chemical castration and mutilation of minors is not
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Nazi behavior. And this is how you know the media
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: is out of touch. Banning the transing of children is
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: common sense, even from numerous legal standpoints. We talked about
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: yesterday how Clarence Thomas implied that the ACLU lawyers are
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: asking for the Supreme Court to make testosterone for girls
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: who claim to be boys a constitutional right, but not
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: for boys who identify as boys, which is sex discrimination. Now,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the trans issue is, I guess, playing out all over Washington. Currently, yesterday,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: a bathroom, several bathroom protests, broke out on Capitol Hill
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: after Speaker Mike Johnson mandated that only biological women can
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: use women's restrooms. Take a listen. It says, Congress, stop
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: pissing on our rights. And this is in the bathroom,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: if you're listening on Apple or Spotify. It says flush
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: bathroom bigotry.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: It's a sign.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: So basically this is happening at multiple locations across the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: capital area. And imagine if you just have to use
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the bathroom and these people are shouting and dancing. Some
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of them have dance videos. It's just obnoxious. And again,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I think this is very alienating for a lot of people.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: No one agrees with this lunacy except for a small
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: minority of queer-identifying humanities majors. Really, this is not a
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: winning issue. Most people think it's crazy. All right, switching
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: gears here. During a New York Times summit, Bill Clinton
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: said that he wanted the lawfare between the left and
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: the right to stop. Take a listen.
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: Well, I do think we should stop trying to criminalize politics.
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: But on the other, I think we should, both of us, because,
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: because obviously, and the people don't like it and they're
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: not going along with it from right to left.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: So now the Republicans are in power and Democrats have
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: tried to bankrupt in prison and throw our nominee off
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the ballot and arguably kilt him with gross Secret Service negligence.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Now the Democrats want peace. Now they want the law
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: fair to end. They also have been throwing pro-lifers and
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: January Sixers behind bars, targeting traditional Catholics and parents at
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: school board meetings. And for this to come from Bill Clinton,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of all people, is incredibly rich. Bill's wife Hillary is,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of course, at the heart of the Russia collusion hoax.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Her campaign helped pay for the Steele dossier. Has Bill
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: apologized on behalf of his wife for trying to stage
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a deep state coup to unseat Trump? Of course not.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: He's unbelievable. All of these people are unbelievable. And you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Trump went easy on them last time. He declined to
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: go after Hillary Clinton for her email scandal because Trump
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: thought that in America, we have some decorum. We don't
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: weaponize the state against political opponents, even when they do
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: illegal things, because we aren't a third world country. We
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: want to remain civil. Well, now we've descended into a
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: third world country with that level of corruption. And the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: GOP is done taking punches and perpetuating the two-tier justice.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: That's why Cash has promised to hold everyone in the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: deep state accountable for their crimes. We've had enough of
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the lawfare. And the only way to de-incentivize the left
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: from doing what they did to Trump, again, is to
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: give them a taste. And ultimately, this is deeply sad.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: It's not the America that our founders intended, but it's
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the America that Democrats have forced on us. And I wonder, Chad,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: How many of you who are older, are you beside
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: yourself with what America is now versus what you grew
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: up with? I'm genuinely curious. For me, this chaos almost
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: feels normal because most of my life it's been like this.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: And so with every new scandal that comes out, I
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: am unsurprised. And I think for better or worse, it's
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: probably made me a lifelong skeptic. But as a child,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I do kind of remember having this idea of America being... Basically,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: America could never do wrong. And I never would have
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: imagined that America would be destabilizing other nations or funding
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: extremists like Al-Qaeda, responsible for 9-11, who in turn was
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: committing genocide against Christians in the Middle East. By the
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: time I was 16, though, this facade began to crack.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Trump's presidency didn't just... alter the course of the nation,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the war against him made me question who the real
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: bad actors are. I started to become aware of issues
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: like the assassination of JFK, the discrepancies with that case,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the Watergate scandal, which was really a deep state operation
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to get rid of Nixon, the horrifying experiments like MKUltra,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: likely tied to figures like Charles Manson. By 2019, the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Epstein case exposed the depth of corruption as a man
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: was suicided in federal custody while revelations of CIA-run blackmail
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: operations surfaced. And as I dug deeper, I saw how
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the CIA has always been linked to criminal activities, like
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: gun running with cartels during Operation Fast and Furious and
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: secret coups abroad. During Trump's term, we witnessed the unholy
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: alliance between the deep state and the media. Russia collusion
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: leakers like James Clapper, Andrew McCabe, and James Comey felt
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: unprecedented at the time. But then you learn about Operation
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Mockingbird and realize that it's been happening for decades. And
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Operation Mockingbird never really ended. It merely evolved with the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: government coercing legacy media for control and later using big
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: tech to censor dissent and censor everything from election integrity,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden laptop story, critiques of Jill Biden, COVID policies.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing was off limits. After January 6th, the sitting president
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: was even banished from social media. I think decades of
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: unchecked power, arrogance, and fear of the internet age led
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: permanent Washington to overplay its hand. And once the illusion
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: of US government morality or at least neutrality shattered, the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: nation's mythos collapsed and change became inevitable. For political stability
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: and public sanity, we need Trump's mandate for reform. We
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: have to see that change and know that we, not
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the entrenched elite, are in charge of the country. And
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: this is why the upcoming nominations are so pivotal. Without accountability, reform,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: chaos will follow. Change is no longer optional. It is essential.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: And that's all I have for you guys today. If

  Speaker 9: quality cannot be measured.

• 38:43
  Speaker 9: Injuries have ended plenty of careers, but instead you decided

  Speaker 9: yours would only be a chapter instead of the ending.
