  Speaker 1: at a big question. Is the president of the United
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: States safe? Is he safe? Is he protected? And have
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the problems in the Secret Service been meaningfully fixed? We
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: do have to take a closer look at this because
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: it matters a great deal for the stability of our
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: constitutional republic. We'll get into the details a Also, some
• 0:28

  Speaker 1: Susan Crabtree coming up. Looking forward to chatting with her.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: In fact, I was texting with her yesterday as I'm
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: watching all these news headlines come through about the Justice
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Department's prosecution of the would-be assassin, this guy Cole Allen.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And so yesterday, the guy was arraigned in federal court
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in Washington, D.C. And here's how that went down. Here's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Todd Blanch announcing the three charges. And I'm interested by
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the specific charges. Listen to this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Today, the Department of Justice filed three federal charges in
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: United States District Court against Cole Thomas Allen. The first
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: count is attempted assassination of the President of the United States.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: This count is punishable by up to life in prison.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: The second count is interstate transportation of a firearm to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: commit a felony. This is punishable by up to 10
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: years in prison. And the third count is discharge of
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: a firearm during a crime of violence which is punishable
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: by a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a maximum of life, and the 10 years is consecutive
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to any other sentence imposed.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So interesting. So some of that stands out. One is
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the attempted assassination of the president of the United States,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: crystal clear from the manifesto. That stands out. The guy
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: straight up said that that was his intent. He wants
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to take out every official that he can get access to.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: He's clearly targeting the event because the president's there. So
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: they've got the evidence against him in that case. They've
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: got that second charge of him bringing guns across the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: lines with the intent to commit a felony. That one
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is open and shut, clearly, given what he did. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: then that third one, you know, they talk about discharging
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the weapon in the commission of a felony.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But what about the charges about who he was aiming
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the weapon at? We were promised, not promised, we were
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: indicated to all weekend long that they were intending to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: charge him with assault on a federal officer. They did
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: not charge him with that. Did you notice that? They
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: didn't charge him with assault on a federal officer. Let's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: dog ear that. We'll keep talking about that in a moment.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: The other thing they didn't charge him with is attempted
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: murder of a federal officer. That presumably the thought process
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was certainly going through the weekend that the guy fired
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: his weapon directly into the chest of a Secret Service agent.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: That seems to me that's an attempted murder. So you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: would slap him with charges on that, too, wouldn't you?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: But that is not what they charged him with here.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They charged him with those first three charges. Now, we
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: could have more. Janine Pirro told us yesterday, the U.S.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: attorney for D.C., she said more charges are incoming. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: those may still yet arrive, but I think there's a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: very good reason why they're not yet ready to say
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that those charges will be open and shut. Listen to this.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Here's cut to Jeanine Pirro.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: There will be additional charges as this investigation continues to unfold.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: But make no mistake, this was an attempted assassination of
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: the president of the United States with the defendant making
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: clear what his intent was. And that intent was was
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: to bring down as many of the high-ranking cabinet officials
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: as he could. This is the kind of situation that
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: we cannot tolerate. And as the Attorney General has just indicated,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: it could have been so much worse but for the
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: reality that we had the Secret Service as well as
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's true. That's true. The guy doesn't make
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it all the way to that ballroom because he stopped
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: by law enforcement. That's unquestionably true. And I say this
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: on behalf of the rest of the country. Totally grateful.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Totally grateful that the president of the United States and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: everybody else in that ballroom were kept safe by the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: fact that law enforcement acts with acted swiftly enough to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: stop him from getting through. Great. That's that's a great thing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: All Jeanine Pirro did walk through the timeline of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: shooter's movements. She explained that he planned all this over
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the course of several days, and then he rushed that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: security checkpoint. Here's cut three. This is Jeanine Pirro explaining
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the timeline.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: You may recall that it was on March 2nd that
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: the president indicated that he would be attending this public
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: event at the Hilton. And on April 6th, that's when
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Cole Allen first made a hotel reservation at the Washington
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Hilton for three nights, the 24th, the 25th, and the 26th.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: It was on April 21st that he traveled all the
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: way from the West Coast from his home near L.A.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: He gets to Chicago on April 23rd and has been indicated.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: He arrives in D.C.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: On the 24th and he checks into the hotel at
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: about 3 p.m.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: He stays overnight.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: He is very much aware that the president and the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: first lady entered the ballroom at 8 p.m. And it
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: was at 8.40 that he made a decision to rush
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the ballroom.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: The reason I want you to hear the timeline is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to put together a case of why this
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: this this whole event troubles me from a security standpoint.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It was well known that the president of the United
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: States was going to be at this event. Very well known.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: We all knew about it for a while. We've been
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: talking about it for a while that this was happening.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So the whole nation knows this guy is able to travel. 3,000
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: miles across the country by train, brings all of his
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: guns with him, books a room inside of the Hilton,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: gets inside of the Hilton, is able to stay there
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: for a day or two. And then just right then,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he's pretty far into the security perimeter already, and he
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: put in basically no effort. Basically no effort. You know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you think about the amount of effort that the 9-11
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: hijackers put into their attack from getting trained on how
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to operate an airplane. And, you know, of course, nobody
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: was like questioning the fact that they didn't bother to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: learn how to land them. And, you know, the process
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of getting into the country and all of the sort
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of logistics that were involved in conducting that horrific terror
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: attack on the United States, this guy basically did nothing.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: He just brought some weapons with him, books a hotel room,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and he is already 90% of the way through the security,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: 90% of the way to causing the kind of chaos
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that could really up in the country. And I said
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to you yesterday, just imagine if this was a more
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: committed group of commandos, like well-trained people. I was talking
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to my dad yesterday, the general colonizer, I was talking
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: about this with him. And I was like, just imagine.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I was reiterating the point I was making on the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: podcast with you yesterday. Just imagine if these guys were
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: actually trained professionals going in on a suicide mission, how
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: much damage could six to 10 determined, capable warriors do
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: if they started barreling into the room and trying to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: cause chaos. And my dad was like, oh, if they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: got that far, all it would have took is a grenade.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: They could have really, they really could have caused damage
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: getting into a room like that. And I was like,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you know, it's crazy. It's crazy to me that it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: got this far. So, you know, one of the big
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: themes here this week, and unfortunately we've had to do
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: this theme before as the president has survived subsequent assassination attempts,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is what the hell's going on at the Secret Service?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? How does it get
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: this far? How is it that the president is this
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: vulnerable to an attack? If not the president, certainly a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Secret Service protected site. As I said yesterday, the president
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: gets whisked away off the back of the stage.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: J.D.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Vance gets whisked away out the back of the stage.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: They clearly have an exit strategy for how to get
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: him away from danger. But you've got a whole room
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: full of people, some of whom are Secret Service protectees,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that are sitting ducks inside of this room that's basically
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a fire hazard. You can't move very easily through it,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: hard to escape quickly. They could have really, really done damage.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And I'm grateful that they caught the one guy who
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: tried to do this. But hopefully that's the last test
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: run of the security concerns that we have of the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Secret Service. Because once the guy gets through, This is
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: what I want to get to next. Once the guy
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: gets through the magnetometer, he sprints through it. You see
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: all these agents draw their weapons. And when they do,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: presumably they're exchanging gunfire with the guy, right? Because even
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: inside the room, you heard, you could hear the sounds
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: of gunfire outside. Clearly there's gunfire going on in the hallway. Gunfire.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: So how is it? Just do the math with me.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: How is it that only one person was shot and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it wasn't the suspect? It was a Secret Service agent
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: who took. We're not even clear that he took a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: shotgun shell to the chest, that he took shot to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the chest. It sounds like he may have been struck
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: by another agent. Let me walk you through what Todd
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Blanch told us yesterday. They're not trying to conceal anything,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: by the way. They're just saying they're conducting an investigation
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: on the subject. But it's starting to sound a lot
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: like what happened this weekend was a case of friendly fire.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Listen to Todd Blanch describe the agent hearing a quote,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the Secret Service hearing a quote, loud gunshot. This is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: cut for Todd Blanch.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Approximately at 840 on the night of April 25th, Allen
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: approached the security checkpoint on the terrace level of the hotel,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: which is, again, a floor above where the dinner was
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: taking place. He ran through the magnumometer holding a long gun.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: As he did so, U.S. Secret Service personnel assigned to
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot. One Secret Service officer
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: was shot in the chest but was wearing a ballistic
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: vest that worked. This heroic officer who was hit fired
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: five times at Allen, who was not shot but fell
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to the ground and was promptly arrested.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Todd Blanch would further reiterate throughout the press conference, he
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was asked a follow-up question about, is it just the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: one agent who fired or did other agents fire? And
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he said that he wanted to be careful with the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: way he answered the question, but he made it sound
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: like it was the single agent who discharged his weapon,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: apparently the same agent who took the shot to the chest,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how that's possible, assuming that's federal-friendly fire.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But anyway, he made it sound like it's very likely
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: one agent fired five times. Again, the suspect never hit.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: The suspect was never hit. Now, Todd Blanch did say
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that the suspect did discharge his shotgun. It's a pump-action shotgun.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: The casing for the shell... was never discharged from the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: weapon because the suspect never pumped it, which would eject
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the cartridge, the shell cartridge, the shell casing. So here
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is Todd Blanch describing that yesterday. Cut six, listen.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: You can explain the discharging of weapon charge at this point.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Well, he's charged with violating 924C, discharge of a firearm
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: during a crime of violence. So By definition, that charge
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: means that it was discharged. I can tell you from
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: what I know with the understanding that we're a day
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and a half in that this is the gun that
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: he discharged. And as those of us that have ever
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: shot one of these know, what happens when you shoot
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that is the casing stays inside the firearm. And then
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: if you reload it, it pops it out. My understanding
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: is that it was inside the firearm, but not hadn't
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: been ejected which means that that it hadn't been pulled
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: back again you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Got that so his his gun had gone off once
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he's he clearly he pulls the trigger once um not
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: clear at this hour who he was pointing at or
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: if it was an accidental discharge or what the circumstances
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: are there uh but again um he was never he
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: was never struck he was never struck um Here it is,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Todd Blanche describing cut five, that he does believe the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: gunman fired the weapon again, but did acknowledge that the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Secret Service agent might have been struck. The one who
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: took the shot to the chest may have been struck
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: by friendly fire. Listen to this.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: Have you been able to determine whether the gunman fired shots?
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: If so, how many shots he fired and who exactly,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: whose bullet hit the agent?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: We're still, we want to get that right.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: So we're still looking at that. It appears- And I
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: don't want to overstate, because we are still looking at this,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: that there were five shots that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Law enforcement fired.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: All the evidence is being examined very carefully and expeditiously,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: and we'll know more soon. We do believe that, as
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the complaint lays out, that the suspect, that the defendant
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: fired out of his shotgun, and we know that that happened.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: But as far as getting into exacting ballistics, I'm not
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: going to do that today because it's still being looked
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: at and finalized.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you're picking up what they're
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: putting down like I am, but it sounds a lot
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: like this is a friendly fire incident. Now, I'm not
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: saying that these never happen. Clearly, something like this could happen.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: It's a chaotic situation. Gunfire is being exchanged. You're watching
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a guy with a gun run towards the ballroom with
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a Secret Service protectee. This is a huge national security crisis.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: These guys have to move very swiftly under immense pressure
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and make very rapid fire, literally rapid fire decisions here. So, yeah,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: things can happen. Things can happen. These unfortunate circumstances. And
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: thank God that that agent was wearing that vest. And
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: thank God that that agent's doing well. Left the hospital
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: of his own volition. Sounds like he's going to be
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: just fine. Talked to the president of the United States.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That's all wonderful, wonderful news. But this guy sustained no
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: injuries but a rug burn. The suspect. Jeanine Pirro described
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: yesterday that the only thing that happened was the guy tripped.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And he scraped his knee. Listen to Jean Pirro describing
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: what happened to the suspect who ran in with guns
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to kill the president.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Thank goodness law enforcement, the Secret Service, was able to
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: prevent him from getting into that ballroom. He was not
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: injured other than some kind of scrape on his knee.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: They got a rug burn. That's why, you know, when
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I saw the photos this week, guys, when the president
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: of the United States puts the photos up Saturday night,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of the suspect lying on the ground. He's like completely conscious.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: His face is on the ground. And I'm sitting, did
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you look at that too and go, where's the blood?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you would think if there was an exchange
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of gunfire and there's a bunch of cops around, they
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: would have shot him, that he would have been shot.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: But apparently he tripped and then they just jumped on
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: top of him. Rightfully so, they tackled him. But Crazy,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: just absolutely crazy. So an agent misses five shots, maybe
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: more than one agent misses five shots on the guy.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: And it reminded me of the fact that we had
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the same circumstance. Do you guys remember the Ryan Ruth incident?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: When Ryan Ruth, the Ukrainian who got into the Bushes
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to try and assassinate President Trump in Florida. Chad, do
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you remember what happened there? So we had an agent
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: walking ahead of the president of the United States, kind
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: of a lead agent, an advanced agent, walking ahead of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States, like a golf, like
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: a hole or two. This was September of 2024. And
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he's walking right near the bushes. Remember, the early reports
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: seem to suggest that the agent was at a great
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: distance away from Ryan Ruth. And then we found out, actually,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: he was just five feet away. The agent was five
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: feet away from Ryan Ruth. in the tree line, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: suddenly he sees Ruth in the trees with a gun,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: whips at him, and starts firing on him, fires six
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: times from five feet away, and misses every shot. Every
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: single shot. In fact, here's the language from the House report.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Let me take this, let me show this to you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I think I've got it here. Page 131. Here it is.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: This is the House report on the subject, West Palm
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Beach findings and recommendations. The morning of September 15th, 2024,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: former President Trump and a protective team of U.S. Secret
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Service personnel depart Mar-a-Lago to head to Trump International Golf Club,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: West Palm Beach. At approximately 1.30 p.m., former President Trump
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: was on the redacted hull of the golf course. when
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a Secret Service site agent who was riding along the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: fence line conducting a, and then they redacted, noticed an
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: individual by the fence line on the external perimeter of
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the redacted green. The agent first notices the suspect, later
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: identified as Ryan Wesley Ruth, and then noticed the barrel
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of Ruth's gun sticking through the fence line. The special agent,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: who may have been as close as five feet away
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: from Ruth, immediately responded by firing shots toward the suspect.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: It is believed six shots in total were fired. However,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: final ballistics are pending an ongoing FBI investigation. The suspect
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: then fled across redacted which is the multi-lane road that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: encircles the golf club, and then he gets into a vehicle.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: The only reason that they were able to track the vehicle,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the guy almost got away. The reason they tracked him
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: is because a good Samaritan, a woman, a witness, sees
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: him jump into the car and all of the chaos
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: around that, writes his license plate number down, and then
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: hands it off to law enforcement. They're able to get
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: him on the highway pretty quickly after that, which was
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: good news. Five feet away. Now, I'm seeing some people
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: in chat who are being, I think, a little overly
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: generous here to the agents because, look, again, I'm grateful
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: for the heroism. Love the heroism. What I'm concerned about,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and for those of you who've worked in law enforcement,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you can speak better to this than I can, or
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: if you've worked in the United States military, or you've
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: worked in security of any kind, to what extent does
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: training play a role in your ability to successfully execute
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: your mission at that moment that you don't expect to arrive?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: But when it does, then you can pull it off successfully.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: That you can strike a target at five feet away
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: with six attempts. Or that you can strike a target
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: with all these guns drawn, people firing at this guy
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: as he's running just a couple feet away from you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: inside of a ball, towards a ballroom where the president
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of the United States waits. What kind of training are
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: these guys doing? How frequently are they doing it? It
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: sounds like they've got quarterly training range time? How much
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: under stress time are they doing it? How much time
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: where they have to do it at a heightened state
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of anxiety? How routinely are those trainings being conducted? Are
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: these guys being overworked? Are they working so many hours
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: that they don't actually have time to get their qualifications done,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to do their trainings? These are deeper questions. I'm just
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: asking them simply because I want the leadership of the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Secret Service to to successfully handle that agency in such
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: a way that the president of the United States is
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: not killed. That's why I'm focused on this. That's why
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I'm focused on this. There's a reason we arm the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Secret Service. It's not merely so that they can miss
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: a bunch of shots. It's so they can successfully shoot
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: center mass and take down a threat. That's why they're armed. Otherwise,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: what's the point? This is what I'm asking. So we're
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: going to– coming up, I've got more on this. We're
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: going to talk to Susan Crabtree about it, but I
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: have to take– I've gone long. I've gone long on this.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I've got to thank one of the sponsors who do
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: make this show possible so we can have these conversations.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: It's a great sponsor who loves our country just like
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you do, Patriot Mobile. I love Patriot Mobile. America is
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: about to celebrate its 250th anniversary. We're coming up on
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it so fast. July 4th is almost here. Not quite,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: but it's getting there. And I believe the direction of
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: this country is being decided right now in our culture,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in our economy, and who we choose to support matters
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: more than ever. Most wireless companies don't care who you
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: are or what you believe. They just want your money.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, different. For more than 12 years now, they've
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: stood with Americans who believe that freedom is worth defending,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: supporting the Christian conservative movement when others stayed silent. And
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: here's the deal. You don't have to give up quality.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: You don't have to give up service when you switch
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access on all
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: three major U.S. networks, so you get the same or
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: better coverage than you have today. Think switching's a hassle?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: It's not. Keep your number, keep your phone, or even upgrade.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Their 100% U.S.-based support team can activate you in minutes.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Still paying off a device? Patriot Mobile even offers a
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: contract buyout. This is a defining year. We've all got
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to work together to save our country. I recommend you
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: go to PatriotMobile.com slash Vince or call 972-PATRIOT Use that
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: promo code Vince, get a free month of service. That's patriotmobile.com
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: slash Vince. Call 972-PATRIOT and make the switch today. Thank
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: you to Patriot Mobile for being an amazing sponsor of
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: our program. So it seems pretty clear to me that
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the announcement we're going to get at some point, some
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: confirmation here, is that the agent who was hit in
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the vest was hit by friendly fire. And we now
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: know that the suspect was never hit in the course
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: of at least five shots that were fired by Secret
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Service agents. And this is not the first time we've
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: seen something like this. So you go from assassination attempt
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to assassination attempt, and each one of those consists of
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: clear lessons learned. Like how do we fix this? For instance,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: do we secure a roof in Butler, Pennsylvania with a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: clear line of sight to the president of the United States?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Do we have radio systems that can actually communicate with
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: one another? So when a local cop is screaming into
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a radio that there's a shooter on the roof, the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Secret Service can actually hear it. Do we fix those things?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Do we fix things like an agent seeing Ryan Ruth
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and firing at him six times from five feet away
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and not striking him? Can we fix that? Can we
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: prevent that from happening? How did he get that close
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to begin with? Why is it an agent who's walking
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: one hole up? What about like just like drone technology?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: What about dogs being out there? What about just screening
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: all this ahead of time? How is it that it
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: was so insecure? Is the president of the United States?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And then how in this latest assassination attempt, one of many,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: by the way, the media keeps saying three. We know
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it's a lot more than that. These are just three
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: very high profile events. In this latest one, how does
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a guy get that far into the security perimeter simply
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: by getting the hotel room, paying the rate for the room,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and boom, he's deep into the security perimeter of one
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: of the most highly concentrated national security events imaginable when
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the entirety of our government at the upper level is
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: all in the same room. He runs him with all
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: these guns and knives. Guns and knives. And he had
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a lot. That guy was strapped up. He was, I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: don't even, first of all, I don't know what kind
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: of movies this dude is watching. Because I'm like, it
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't even make sense, the crap he was running in with.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, what? So he brought a shotgun. He
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: brought a shotgun. He said that he, for whatever reason,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he was claiming that he was trying to mitigate the damage.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: He was hoping to shoot Secret Service agents. In his manifesto,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: he said this. In the bulletproof vest with his, with
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: his shotgun. He's shooting buckshot. I mean, he's going to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: destroy people if he's shooting them with buckshot. People are
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: not surviving this. It's crazy that he talked in any way.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: He's a psycho. But look at some of this. So
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: here's the shotgun that he brought in. That's his shotgun, rumble.com
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: slash Vince, so you can see it. There's his. 38
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: caliber handgun. He's also got all these knives. Look at
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: these knives the guy's carrying. He's got, he's got like,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: this looks like, I think like a military style, like
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: a K-bar knife. Is that right, guys? He's got, he's
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: got four different knives here. Or is that just like
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: kind of like a sheath for a knife? So at
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: least three knives. One of these, is that like a
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: throwing dagger? What is this? What is that? Chat, what
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: is this one on the bottom left corner? Is that,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: am I wrong in thinking that's supposed to be like
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: a throwing knife? These are, These are, these are sold
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: as like amusements. You know, these are, what is this?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: The guy, yeah, the guy thought that he was like,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: like an anime character. Like he was like, it was, it's, yeah,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: it is. It's a, yeah. What, I mean, what? What
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: was he thinking? Obviously, psychopath. Psychopath. Inflamed by the left
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to conduct this attack. But yeah, okay, chat, you're agreeing. Yeah,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: it's a throwing knife. Um, yeah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Anyway, what is this one called? This one on the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: top right? What do we call that? A stiletto? What
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: is that one called? Do we know? Yeah. Whatever. The
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: point is, psycho. The point is, psycho. And that psycho
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: made it far, made it that far with that much weaponry.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So forgive me for asking questions about the Secret Service.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I would like the president to survive, please. But let
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: me tell you first about Rumble Wallet. Rumble Wallet is

• 29:29
  Speaker 1: to Birch Gold for being such an enduring and great
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: sponsor of our program. You know, back in 1971, talking
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: about gold, back in 1971, gold was $ 35 an ounce.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine? $ 35 an ounce. Now, today, the United
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: States dollar has lost 85% of its purchasing power, and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: gold has increased in value by over 12,000%. How's that math?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: That's wild. And this is why so many central banks
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: are buying gold at record levels. And that's why major
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: firms hold significant positions in gold. But it all starts
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: with education. My friends at the Birch Gold Group have
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: their learn and earn precious metals event going on right now.

  Speaker 1: And you can get even larger incentives as you go.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: The more you learn, the more you can earn. but
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you've got to act now as this special event only
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: runs through April 30th. The dollar lost its anchor in 1971.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You don't have to lose yours. Text my name, Vince,

  Speaker 1: we focus for a moment on how we got here?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: How is it that we get this like psychopath that,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: writes this manifesto full of left wing, blue ski, Ms. Now,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: CNN conspiracy theories. How did we get here? Well, Caroline
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Leavitt took the lectern yesterday in the White House press
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: briefing room. She wasn't expected to. She was supposed to
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: be on maternity leave. Remember, Caroline Leavitt ended last week
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and went on maternity leave and said, goodbye, everybody. I
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: got to have a baby. And so the last event
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: that she was doing was going to be this White
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: House Correspondents Dinner seated alongside President Trump.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Well, because another lunatic lefty attacked the event, she decided
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: it was incumbent upon her to return to the lectern
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: on Monday. And this is what she produced. Take a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: look at Caroline Leavitt excoriating the Democrats who have breathed
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: life into this violence. Here she is. Cut seven.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: The entire Democrat Party has made their. pitch to voters
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: to democracy, that he is a fascist and that they
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: compare him to Hitler.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Rep.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: Hakeem Jeffries just this April, this month said, we are
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: in an era of maximum warfare everywhere all the time.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Governor Josh Shapiro said heads need to roll. within the administration.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Senator Alex Padilla said people are quote dying because of
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: fear and terror caused by the Trump administration. Senator Elizabeth Warren,
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: President Trump is making the country look like a quote
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: fascist state. Senator Adam Schiff saying President Trump using a
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: dictator playbook. Senator Ed Markey calling President Trump a dictator
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: saying that this administration's actions are authoritarianism On steroids, Governor J.B. Pritzker,
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: never before in my life have I called for mass
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: protest disruptions. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: You have Rep. Presley saying, we'll see you in the streets.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Monica McIver, a Democrat representative on Capitol Hill, we will
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: not take this shit from Donald Trump. He thinks he's
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: a dictator. We are at war. These are Democrat elected
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: officials calling for war against the president of the United
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: States and his supporters.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where did the left ever get this idea that
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: they're at war with President Trump? Where did they ever
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: get the idea that he's a fascist, a dictator, an authoritarian?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Where did they ever get the idea that they have
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: a moral obligation to save the country by killing the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: president of the United States? How did they arrive at
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: that conclusion? And the answer to that is quite clearly
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: every single one of these outrageous, radical establishment Democrats who
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: know the kind of psychopaths who compose some of the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: base of their party. They know this, and yet they
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: use this language anyway, out of fear, perhaps, of their
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: own base, or knowing that this is the kind of
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: chaos that they think they can exploit for their own power.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Either scenario is absolutely vile. Now, none of this will
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: be surprising to you. None of this is surprising to me.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: It's not shocking, but it's definitely appalling. It's definitely appalling.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: These Democrats... are not showing any signs of slowing down either.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: You know, Hakeem Jeffries yesterday, upon hearing the news of
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Caroline Leavitt's press conference, he raged in his own sort
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: of low IQ way about it, rather than pausing for
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: a moment and admitting that he has been a part
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: of the poison that has diminished this country. Here's Hakeem
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Jeffries learning nothing yesterday. Watch this.
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: So-called White House press secretary, who's a disgrace, he's a
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: stone cold liar, had the nerve to stand up there
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: and read talking points being critical of statements all taken
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: out of context that Democrats have made and didn't have
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: a word to say about anything that MAGA extremists have
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: said or done, including providing aid and comfort to violent
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: insurrectionists here at this Capitol on January 6th.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Psycho. Absolute psycho. speaking and sitting on ridiculous talking points.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what Hakeem Jeffries is doing. January 6th, January 6th,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you're pathetic. You are absolutely pathetic. All of this violence
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: is headed in one direction. It's from the left to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the right. All of the chaos is coming from one place.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: It's your party. All of the destruction is being sown
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: by the leaders of just one party. It's yours, the Democrats.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Republican voters and Republican leaders, the President Trump, namely, are
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: fighting to restore order to the country. When he says
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: make America great again, he doesn't mean assassinate Democrats. He
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: hasn't called for hurting his political opponents. Nothing like that.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: He's calling for law and order. He's calling for sovereignty.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: He's calling for safety for American citizens. The president straight
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: up deploys the National Guard and federal law enforcement to
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: American cities to restore order, not to deliver chaos. Yet
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: you people are in the streets assaulting federal law enforcement.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And I don't just mean Democrat voters. I mean, Democrat officials.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: The aforementioned LaMonica McIver was in the streets shoving ICE
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: officers at an immigration facility in New Jersey, and she
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: was federally charged for assaulting ICE officers. You've got Democrat
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: officials who constantly are either impeding law enforcement or openly
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: assaulting them. And then right now, Congress is in the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: midst of this ridiculous funding battle where Democrats are trying
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to defund ICE and Border Patrol to get rid of
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: immigration enforcement in the United States, get our borders back open,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and allow the invasion to continue. You are agents of chaos.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You're a bunch of AOCs all over the place. So
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: anytime you hear Hakeem Jeffries raging in this way, he's
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: just projection. It's a series of talking points, and they're
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the bad ones. to you. You're the problem. You're the problem.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: And you've learned literally nothing. You've learned literally nothing from
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: this experience, this awful experience that the country just went
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: through this weekend yet again. Now, the White House reminded
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries that he's been the problem. They just posted
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to social media overnight the following. In fact, they posted
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: at 7, 7, 16 p.m. Eastern time last night. They
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: posted this clip of him And they said, you know,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: none of the examples that the press secretary cited were
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: taken out of context, Representative Jeffries. You guys are just
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: unhinged and radical. For example, here's you calling on people
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: to fight the Trump agenda in the streets. Yeah, here's
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the dial-up Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries, in his own low IQ way,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: calling for people to fight in the streets.
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: We are going to fight it. Legislatively, we are going
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: to fight it in the courts. and we're gonna fight
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: it in the streets.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: We are gonna- We're gonna fight it in the streets.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: The hell does that mean? Other than everything that we've
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: witnessed in the streets. When the Democrats fight in the streets,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: they burn down police precincts. When Democrats fight in the streets,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: they kill David Dorn. When Democrats fight in the streets,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: they cause billions of dollars of damage, and they kill
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: dozens of people in the summer of George Floyd. That's
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: what they do. That's how Democrats fight in the streets.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: And then if you question it, you're a racist. If
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you question it, you're the bigot. You're the bad person. Oh,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: what do you support? Systemic racism. It's like so crazy.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, I don't want to see my country destroyed.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I want law and order. What's wrong with you? What's
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: wrong with you? The thirst for power. That's what's wrong
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: with them. The unbridled, unconstrained, immoral, thirst for power. That's
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the answer to that question. And that's how you're going
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: to destroy the country if you succeed. That's how you're
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: going to wreck the whole thing. And this is what
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: we're trying to prevent. All we're trying to do is
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: restore order. This is why people on the right don't
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: call for violence. This is why the people on the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: right are not itching for a civil war or anything
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: like that, because people on the right want to restore
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the country that they were born into. They're just looking
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: to create stability and peace for their children and grandchildren.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: They're like very aware of of the costs of bloodshed.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: They're aware of the costs of violence. In many cases,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: they've had to endure it either at home or abroad.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: American conservatives are by and large who compose our veterans,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: our military. They know the costs of what it means
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: to preserve our liberty and have a sincere appreciation for
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: this country. And so we don't have this sort of
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: like short-sighted, demented thirst for power that involves violence against
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: our countrymen. That That way lies utter chaos. And the Democrats,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: they just keep breathing life into it. They keep inflaming
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: these weak and vicious minds. Now, we saw also Hakeem Jeffries,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: one more for you. Hakeem Jeffries yesterday, he doubled down.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: You know, again, he's just sticking to his sheet music here.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Last week, he said in the wake of the Virginia
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: election that they were going to continue to try and
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: make Americans suffer. He promised maximum warfare on the American people.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I commented on it at the time. And here he
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: is again, doubling down on it yesterday. Cut nine, watch this.
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: The notion that any of us are concerned with so-called
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: criticism from these phony Republicans as it relates to anything
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: that has been said, certainly as it relates to the
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: comment related to maximum warfare everywhere, all the time, in
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: connection with the redistricting battle that Republicans launched. I stand
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: by it. You can continue to criticize me for it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: I don't give a damn about your criticism.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: That is the leader of the Democrats in the House
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: saying he doesn't give a damn about you. I don't
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: give a damn what the American people think, said Hakeem Jeffries.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Screw him. I'm going to keep saying it. I'm going
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: to double down on this. I don't care that an
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: entire room of the government's top officials were just imperiled
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: by a terrorist. I don't care. I don't give a
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: damn about that. I'm going to keep talking like a
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: reckless lunatic and inflaming these weak and vicious minds. Try
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and stop me. What a psycho. What a complete psycho.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: What an intemperate moron who should not be in anywhere...
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: and anywhere close to power, yet there he is. Hakeem
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: freaking Jeffries. He's not the only one. You know, you've got, fortunately,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: this man doesn't have power, but he's got, you know,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: he's got a big show, thanks to Disney and ABC.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel. I played a clip for you yesterday of
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel laughing about the prospect of President Trump dying.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Apparently it was Thursday night last week. I said Friday night.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: It was Thursday night that he put this together. They
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: did some what he called a comedy sketch where he
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: pretended to be the entertainment at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: And in this sketch, he joked about, Melania joked about,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: in gayer quotes, Melania Trump having the glow of an
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: expectant widow, that it's very funny that President Trump could die.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: That's obviously what he thought was the joke and that
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Melania Trump would be excited about it. because I don't
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: know why. It's also psychotic. But Kimmel did this on
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: a Disney-funded operation on Thursday. And we called it out
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: yesterday morning. I'm like, look at this. This is one
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: of these guys. He's like, you know, just normalizing this
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: kind of rooting for Donald Trump to die attitudes that
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: has overtaken the whole American left, so many of them.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: And the first lady of the United States came out
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: yesterday and she said, enough is enough. This guy needs
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: to go. He needs to be fired. And good for
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: her for calling for this. Here's what she said yesterday.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: She said, Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: divide our country. His monologue about my family isn't comedy.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: His words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It's time for
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC's
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense of our community? Perfect.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Absolutely perfect from the first lady of the United States.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I saw some people yesterday going, the government should stay
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: out of this. Melania Trump's not the government. Melania Trump
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: is a private citizen. She's the first lady of the
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: United States. Yes, she's married to the president, but she
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: is a private citizen who's calling for accountability after this
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: asshole goes on television and tells what no one else
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: would think of as a joke about how hilarious it
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: would be if Trump kicked it. What a psycho. Now,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: President Trump himself did jump in. He said yesterday, you
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: know what? Melania's right. This guy needs to be canned
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: for what he did. Here's the president yesterday on Truth
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Social saying the following. He says, you know, Jimmy Kimmel,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: who is in no way funny as attested to by
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: his terrible television ratings, made a statement on his show
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: that is really shocking. He showed a fake video of
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: the first lady, Melania, and our son, Barron, like they
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: were actually sitting in his studio listening to him speak.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: They weren't and never would be. He then stated, Quote,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: our first lady Melania is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful.
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: Mrs.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow, end quote.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: A day later, a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and many knives. He was there for an obvious and
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: sinister reason. I appreciate that so many people are incensed
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: by Kimmel's despicable call to violence and normally would not
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: be responsive to anything that he said, but this is
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: fired by Disney and ABC. Thank you for your attention
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: to this matter. President Donald J. Trump. President wasn't the
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: only one in the administration to jump in here, too,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: with the First Lady. Caroline Leavitt also jumped in yesterday.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Here's what she had to say in the White House
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: press briefing. In the Brady Press briefing room, named after
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: a man who was shot by yet another would-be assassin,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: John Hinckley Jr. Here's Caroline Leavitt yesterday. Cut tense.
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Much of the manifesto of the would-be assassin is indistinguishable
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: from the words that we hear daily from so many.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: For example, as the First Lady of the United States
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: pointed out this morning, just two days prior to the shooting,
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: ABC's late-night host Jimmy Kemmel disgustingly called First Lady Melania
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: Trump an expectant widow. Who in their right minds says
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: her beloved husband? And having experienced what I did with
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: the first lady on Saturday night, I can tell you
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: that she was anything but that. This kind of rhetoric
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: about the president, the first lady and his supporters is
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: completely deranged. And it's unbelievable that the American people are
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: consuming it night after night after night. As President Trump
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: said on Saturday night at this podium, we as Americans
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: must recommit ourselves to resolving our differences peacefully and uniting
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: around the shared values that make our country great. The
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: deranged lies and smears against the president, his family, his
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: supporters have led crazy people to believe crazy things, and
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: they are inspired to commit violence because of those words.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: It has to stop.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: You have a responsibility to be responsible with your language.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Language has immense power. Language has immense power. When we
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: use words, we shape people's thoughts. When you communicate with
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: your family members, you're shaping their thoughts about the world.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: In other words, language is a form of mind control.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: It can be. It can be. Now, you have an
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: obligation to be as honest as possible. If you have
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: any decency whatsoever, you should be as honest as humanly
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: possible in your interactions with other people. And in that honesty,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you can establish hard truths and you can make a
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: healthier environment. You can establish healthy relationships. But if you're
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: dishonest and if you're sinister, you can really use language
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: to vicious ends. I mean, language as a biblical matter
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: is one of the most important things in existence. God
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: spoke us into creation. In the beginning, there was the word.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Words matter. Words matter. And how you use them matters
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: a great deal. It's a reminder for all of us
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: to be more mindful about the way we communicate because
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: people are listening, especially if you're in a position of power.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if people realize this, but you should.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you have power over other people, whether
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: you run a household, a family, or a business, everybody's
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: paying attention to what you say. And then chances are,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: especially if you're like in an office environment, they're going
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: out and they're drinking that night and they're talking about
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: what you said and they're litigating every syllable because it
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: affects their lives. And it also gives them something common
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: to gripe about sometimes, you know, the boss. Whatever, your
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: words really, really matter. And Jimmy Kimmel's completely out of control. Now,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I've seen somebody in the chat, somebody was saying, and
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: I get the point, which is like, hey, maybe if
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: we stop talking about him, it would go away and
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: wouldn't matter. Like the way to diminish him is to
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: stop talking about him entirely. And I get that instinct,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: but I want you to understand the way something about
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: the way the market works for these ridiculous, out of control,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: left wing rage shows. They're not even comedy shows. These
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: left wing rage shows. There was a time where television
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: ratings were the only thing that mattered in terms of
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: measuring the impact that somebody was having on the on
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the public conversation and certainly in the ratings and all
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: these things. But it's not like that anymore. It's different now.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: You know, one of the TV ratings, yes, they matter.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: And we love making fun of them because they have
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: these low ratings, as the president just did. It's like
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: nobody's watching it. But the reality is, insofar as these
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: things are being viewed, they're being viewed in these short
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: form clips that are being shared to the Internet. And
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: in some cases, like crazy. Clips like Kimmel rooting on
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: the death of the president of the United States, that
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of play on the standard broadcast consumption.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: We can see it in the ratings. But it does
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: get passed around like candy in these insane asylums like
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Blue Sky, Blue Ski, excuse me, on Blue Ski. They'll
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: share it on Blue Ski like crazy. This is where
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: they'll see it in their Instagram feeds. They're going to
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: watch this in their infinite scrolls as they're clicking through
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: videos and suddenly they see Kimmel joking about how much
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: he wants to see the president of the United States dead.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: That's where the radicalization is occurring. That's where it's occurring.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: People are consuming all of this on their devices. And
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: then they're seeing this guy who's got the kind of
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: the impression of legitimacy, a stamp of approval from a
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: big company like Disney and ABC saying, yeah, this is
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: our guy as he roots on the death of the
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: president of the United States and says that Melania Trump
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: would be looking forward to it. It's poisonous stuff. And
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: it does have the effect of conditioning people into thinking
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: that this is a legitimate sort of opinion to have.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: It creates this veil of legitimacy. has a deep impact
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: on the mind. And how do we know this? People
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: keep trying to kill the president. Where do they get
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: these ideas? Well, if you look at their manifestos, they
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: sound an awful lot like television segments you might hear
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: on some of these crazy left-wing networks or on these
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: left-wing shows. Your words really matter. Now, last night, Kimmel
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: was trying to mock all of this away. He did
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: do his show last night. I won't bore you with
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: the entire thing, but here he is, courtesy of our
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: friend Jorge Bonilla over at the Media Research Center and Newsbusters.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: He had this to say last night, and he just
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: tried to laugh it off. He just tried to make
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: a mockery of it all.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: So on Thursday... Three days before the event, in order
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: to keep that cherished tradition alive, I did my own
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: version of the correspondence dinner on my show. I put
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: on a tuxedo. We pretended we had an audience of luminaries.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: We used old footage of the Trumps, of Pete Hegseth, J.D. Vance,
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Kid Rock, Vanilla Ice, all the members of his cabinet.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: And we made it seem like they were all together
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: in a room. We had a little roast. Again, this
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: was Thursday, and there was no big reaction to it
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: until this morning when I greeted the day facing yet
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: another Twitter vomit storm.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Twitter vomit.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: A call to fire me from our first lady, Melania Trump.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: He's accusing her of a vomit storm.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Because of a joke I made, again, five nights ago.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: It was a pretend roast. I said, our first lady, Melania,
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: is here. Look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: have a glow like an expectant.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Widow, which... The audience told to laugh. They love it.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: ABC does a joke about their age difference. So he
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: goes on to justify it. He just spends the whole
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: time being like, yeah, it was totally legit. Yeah, that's fine.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: And it's a vomit storm. Melania Trump is guilty of
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: a vomit storm, you know, rather than sincere concern about
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: her family. What a psycho. Yeah, ABC should fire that
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: guy because he's a jackass. He's a jackass, you know,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: and it's not personal. I'm not picking on him merely
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: because he attacked this show. I'm not picking on him
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: merely because he attacked our interview. Remember when we interviewed J.D. Vance,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: he was attacking us for that. I'm not going after
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: him for that. I don't care about that. What I
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: care about is that this guy is in no way funny.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: So he's doing a comedy show. It's like, what? And
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: then it used to be not funny anymore. His mind
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: has been overtaken by hatred. And then he gets on
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: and he grooms people into believing that it's totally legit
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: to root on the death of the president of the
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: United States. How about don't have a show? How about
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: don't have a show? You psycho. You're not improving the
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: public conversation in any capacity. All right. That's enough about
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: that guy. But he's he's the president. The first lady,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Caroline Levin, everybody's like this guy's got to go. And
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: they're right about that. Before we go today, man, we've
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: gone the distance one. At some point, we'll have to
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: have Susan Crabtree back on. We didn't get Susan today.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I hope I hope everything's OK. We'll we'll reschedule with Susan.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: get her on the program. We'll talk to her about
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: everything going on in the world, in particular with the
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Secret Service. I'm very concerned about what's going on with
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: that agency. So we'll chat with her. But before we
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: go today, I do want to give you a quick
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: rundown of the redistricting fights that are taking place in
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: the country. And we ended up with a bunch of
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: really promising headlines yesterday. Remember, Virginia, in Virginia yesterday, the
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: state Supreme Court was hearing oral arguments against on the
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Democrat-led election rigging operation that took place last week, Tuesday.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: They had this big referendum. They lied to the voters
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: about what it was about. They said it was for
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: restoring fairness. It was for no such thing. And yesterday,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: the judges in the court heard the oral arguments. And
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: here's the good news in Virginia. They were heavily scrutinizing
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: the Democrats who run the state, going, wait a second, like,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: You really, you didn't follow the law here? Why didn't
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: you follow the law? Like, don't you, you don't respect
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: the fact that you're supposed to have an intervening election,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: that you didn't give the voters enough time, you're supposed
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: to have a 90-day window before you get this election underway.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do this?
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: The scrutiny yesterday in the Virginia Supreme Court was reportedly
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: all directed to one side, and it was the Democrats,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: not to the decency side, in this case, the Republicans.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: The court, very skeptical of the claims that the Democrats
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: have made here for rigging the maps. Now, does that
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: mean that they're going to overturn it? No, it's no guarantee,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: but it definitely points in the direction of decency, which
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: is good news. Remember, Ken Cuccinelli joined us here on
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: the program, and he said that if he was a
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: betting man, he's betting by mid-May that the court's going
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to throw out the rigged maps, which means Democrats do
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: not steal four seats in Virginia for the midterms. That
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: would be a huge, huge deal. So that's a good
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: update on that story. And we're expected to get a
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: lot of movement on it very quickly because time is
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: of the essence. This has got to be resolved immediately
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: just because it has a direct impact on the midterms.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: So the court feels under the gun here. They'll hopefully
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: get us something very, very quick on that. Even CNN
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: was smacking around the Democrats yesterday. Even CNN was smacking
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: around the homicidal maniac known as Jay Jones, the attorney
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: general of Virginia these days. Here he is yesterday on television.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: And he tried to basically dance away from answering questions about,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: you know, what's actually going on with his own rigging operation.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: And the host wouldn't let him do that.
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: Listen.
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: Virginia's constitution, because voters didn't have the 90 days between
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: the General Assembly passing the constitutional amendment allowing this redistricting
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: and the voters voting on it. It was signed in
• 56:22
  Speaker 6: early February by the governor. It was passed in January.
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: It went early March for early votes.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: It was presented to voters.
• 56:30
  Speaker 6: Do you disagree with that timing argument?
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Well, look, again, I think that one judge, an activist
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: judge who.
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: I'm not asking you about the judge. I'm asking you really.
• 56:41
  Speaker 6: It's about a math problem here. It's about a math problem.
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: It's the timing clause. I laid out the dates. We're
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: talking about facts. We're not talking about I know you
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: don't you have disagreements with this judge and you're calling
• 56:52
  Speaker 6: this judge an activist. Let's talk about the argument here
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: and the merits of it.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. No, no, no. We're not talking about
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: the judge that you don't like him. I'm asking you
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: specifically about the law. More of that, please. CNN, more
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: of that, please. Scrutinize these Democrats. Hold their feet to
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: the fire. Do more of that. Do more of that.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: That was a good exchange yesterday as they smack him around.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: He deserves it. And then simultaneously yesterday, speaking of Supreme Court,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: then we get the United States Supreme Court on Monday.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: They struck down a ruling in Texas, a lower court's
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: ruling in Texas that said that the Texas Republican map,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Republican rigged map is not rigged by Republicans. Remember, Texas
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: redraws the maps because Democrats drew them in a racist way.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: and a court process that concluded that the districts were
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: drawn in a racist way, and the Republicans, as a result,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: redrew the maps in Texas to make them not racist anymore.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: And it turns out when the maps aren't racist, fewer
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Democrats get elected. Any lessons there, Democrats? When the maps
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: aren't racist, fewer Democrats get elected. Democrats would like to
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: reimpose the racist maps, so they engaged in this court
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: process to try and block the Republican redraw. No bueno.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: because here's what the court said yesterday.
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: U.S.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court clears Texas's Republican-favored congressional map. So in a
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: win yesterday for decency, for sanity, and yes, for the
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Republican Party, the congressional map will stay. The new map
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: will stay in Texas. It gets the all clear from
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: the United States Supreme Court. Boom, something good, something very
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: good going on. We'll take that. And then finally, finally,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: while I'm on this redistricting news today. Ron DeSantis comes
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: flying in from the top rope yesterday. Ron DeSantis has
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: unveiled a new Florida congressional map that would give the
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Republican Party an extra four seats, Fox News reports. First
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: on Fox, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis revealed the new redistricted
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: congressional map for the state. It shows the Republican Party
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: gaining an extra four seats. He says, quote, Florida got
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: shortchanged in the 2020 census. We've been fighting for fair
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: representation ever since. Our population has since grown dramatically. It's true.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Everybody's going to Florida because they want to escape the
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Democrat states. And we have moved from a Democrat majority
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: to a 1.5 million Republican advantage. And here it is again.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited. So
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: what's the big lesson this morning, chat? If you get
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: rid of the racism, Democrats lose their power. That's what
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis is attempting to do in Florida right now,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the racism. And more normal people,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: more patriots get elected. That's good news. That's very good news.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: We got a lot more to come. A lot more
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: to come. I've got so much more to address. We'll
• 1:00:08
