  Speaker 1: you with us here on the program. We got a

  Speaker 1: mighty show ahead for you today. Senator Rick Scott of
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Florida is stopping by. Perfect to have a United States
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Senator on in light of everything happening in the United

  Speaker 1: States Senate right now. I also want to talk to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: him about this big news out of Cuba thing. Yesterday,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of course, that's affecting a lot of Cuban Americans who
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: live and thrive in the free state of Florida. So
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: we will talk to Senator Scott about that very thing.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: We just got some announcements from the United States Department
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of Justice indictments against a couple of people to include
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Raul Castro down in Cuba. Yesterday, the 94-year-old for killing
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: American citizens back in the 90s. I'll go through some
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of the details with you there. And then we also
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: have charges announced against somebody who was involved in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith scheme, that unconstitutional special counsel, the one who
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: tried to upend the whole country without any constitutional predicate whatsoever. Yeah,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we just got charges announced against people involved in that garbage.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's ahead. Very, very busy edition of Vince. Great to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: have you with us as always. Thank you for being here.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Looking gorgeous. The whole chat looks great today. Let's let's see. Yes,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you're right. Interview threads. Who said interview threads? I've got
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the interview threads on today. April 25th. Thank you. April 25th. Yes,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I do. I wore a jacket today. We got a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: United States senator. We're going to interview him. I said,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: let me put a jacket on. You know what else
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I've been doing lately? You ready for this? Let me
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: tell you about one of our great sponsors. Bone Charge.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Not just lately, all the time. I use the Bone
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Charge Infrared Sauna Blanket, and I love it. I love it. Allison,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: my wife, uses the Bone Charge Red Light Face Mask,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and she loves it. She loves it. They're great. Ever
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: since they sent these products to us, we can't recommend
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: them enough. And we've, you know, in my house, I've
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: never had a sauna before. Now I've got a sauna blanket.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I've had it for well over a year now. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: love this thing. It helps with muscle recovery, detoxification, total
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: game changer. Very easy to use. I can just wrap
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: myself up, let the infrared heat work its magic. Created
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a huge difference for me in how I relax, how
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I rejuvenate, how I feel afterward. The red light face mask,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Allison loves it because you see what she does is
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: she charges it every so often. Doesn't need to be
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: charged that often. And then she wears it every night.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You wear it and it helps to improve your skin's texture,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: reduce inflammation. She has seen fantastic results. It's like having

• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, guys, for everybody who came out
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to see me last night at the Dulles Town Center
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in Northern Virginia. We were out at the wonderful Bourbon
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Boulevard Reserve, a phenomenal steakhouse. They just did a grand opening.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I've been working with the Bourbon Boulevard guys for years
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: now in Northern Virginia. Just an amazing steakhouse, like one
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of the biggest collections, maybe the biggest collection in a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: single bar in Virginia of great bourbons. It was super cool.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It was really nice to see everybody. Thank you for that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: We just had a wonderful time. And just you guys
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: are like truly the best audience anywhere. So it was super,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: super sweet to see everybody and just talk about how
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: well things are going. In fact, it's funny. One of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the most dominant themes of our conversations was, man, haven't
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we been on a great win streak lately? And especially
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: for those people who are from Virginia, that's especially resonant.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: when you've got an entire left-wing election rigging operation that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we just thwarted, thanks to the state Supreme Court upholding
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the state constitution, which is an amazing thing in this
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: day and age, because you often worry that the whole
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: process is rigged against the rule of law and the constitution.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: And luckily, it prevailed in that case in Virginia. So
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: we stopped the big election rigging there. And then, of course,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the president's been on this tremendous win streak lately, where
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he's throwing out These rhino senators, people like Bill Cassidy, boom, gone.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn looks like as of next week, he'll be boom, gone.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You've got guys retiring. You've got Thumbelina, Thumbtillis, boom, gone.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The guy's retiring because President Trump said, I'm going to.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to run a primary opponent against you. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he's like, I'm going to go. I'm going to go.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: He got out of the race. Joni Ernst, boom, gone.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, boom, gone. And the list is going on
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and on. I saw one list this week that said
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that 20% right now, we're on track for 20% of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the entire Republican Senate delegation flipping over going into 2027.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That's a big deal. A fifth of all the Republican senators.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We're getting rid of a lot of rhinos and then
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we're replacing them. with hopefully MAGA All-Stars, which is what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we need. We need some backup for the president of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the United States. In fact, the only guy who really
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: stands out on the list who I'm kind of disappointed
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: is leaving is Tommy Tuberville. Tommy Tuberville is heading out
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the door, but that's because he's destined to become the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: next governor of Alabama. So he's got other work to do.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But it's just kind of amazing what's happening. In fact,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of reason that I'm holding my head
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: up right now thinking, man, things are headed in the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: right direction in our country. I'm appreciative. I'm appreciative of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the fight that we're seeing and the wins that we're having.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So that was part of my conversation last night. But
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: on that front, if I can start with that this morning,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just this fight that's going on among the establishment. There's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a piece this week that the Senate GOP is, quote, reeling, reeling, R-E-E-L-I-N-G,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: reeling that Trump is tossing the rhinos. They're really upset
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: about this over in the establishment Senate, among the establishment GOP.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: The Axios report this week, Trump's revenge spree stuns Senate Republicans.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Stuns.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: How are you stunned by the fact that the president
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: is bluntly pursuing the agenda that you and I voted for?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: That shouldn't stun you. They are really not paying attention
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: if they're stunned. Senate Majority Leader John Thune in most
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of the Republican conference was reeling on Tuesday from President
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Trump's snap endorsement of Ken Paxton in the Texas Republican
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Senate standoff. Thune called it Trump's decision. And they're upset
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: about it. They're very upset about it. Tom Tillis, Thumbelina,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: has been unbowed since announcing his retirement in July after
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: clashes with Trump. Bill Cassidy just voted with Democrats this
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: week to advance an Iran war powers vote. Yeah, to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: try and restrain President Trump's ability to solve the conflict
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in Iran. John Cornyn looks like he's about to get
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: thrown out of the United States Senate, they say. Susan
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Collins is annoyed, she told the press. Quote, I don't understand.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Paxton's ethically challenged, whined Susan Collins. Lisa Murkowski, I'm supremely disappointed,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: she said. Also, President Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton came
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in the middle of his 10-day GOP revenge tour, is
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: what Axios calls it. Cassidy, of course, getting thrown out.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: President Trump, of course, celebrating that Thomas Massey was just
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: thrown out this week as well in Kentucky. And Lindsey
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Graham is bitching and moaning that Ken Paxton is going
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: up against James Talafrico right now in Texas, that he's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: going to be the nominee to go up against Talafrico.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to get more expensive. They're all whining. And again,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I talked about this yesterday. They're not whining because Ken
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Paxton is less electable than John Cornyn. That's a stupid
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: thing to say. Very stupid. John Cornyn couldn't get 50%
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of the freaking vote in the Republican primary. What are
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you talking about? Do you know how much effort it
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: would take to get John Cornyn across the finish line?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It'd be immense. Ken Paxton, meanwhile, is very popular among
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Republicans in Texas. Republicans in Texas constantly win general elections.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Texas has been described as fool's gold for Democrats. They've
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: thought for years that Texas is going blue. Texas is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: going blue. And then they constantly face plant in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Lone Star State. God willing, they face plant hard and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they do it while wasting a tremendous amount of money
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in Texas. And talk about a great candidate to run against. Talafrico?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: That dude thinks that God is gender fluid and that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: God enthusiastically supports killing babies. What a demented weirdo. Yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: so no, Talafrico's perfect. Let's run against him. Let's destroy him.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And let's get Ken Paxton to the United States Senate
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: where we can get something like the Save America Act.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That'd be great. That'd be super great. And then, of course,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you got John Thune coming out of this thing. John Thune,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: he says he's not a big fan of President Trump's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: anti-weaponization fund. I'm not a big fan, he said. You're
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: not a big fan of making people whole after the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: government trampled their rights? What are you talking about? Well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: then we're not a big fan of you. What is
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: John Thune doing as the leader in the United States Senate?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Don't you feel like this is coming to a head,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen? Don't you feel like this is going
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to finally just break? President Trump is going to totally
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: break free from John Thune at some point. It's going
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to be messy. But in the end, I think it's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: going to be worth it. We have to clean up
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the United States Senate. One Trump confidant saying of President
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Trump's attitude towards the Senate, he's done with the Senate
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: bullshit and Thune and all of them. They can't deliver,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: said a Trump confidant. The only reason the president was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: holding out for Cornyn was the SAVE Act. Yeah, the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: SAVE Act. Yeah, he was holding out for the SAVE
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: America Act. And when that became a lost cause, it was,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: why the fuck should I support this guy, says the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Trump confidant. Trump saw some polling this weekend. The polling
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: showed Paxton will win in November. It might have been
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Paxton's polling, but it's Texas, said the Trump advisor. Okay.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So some very interesting things are going on right now
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: with the United States Senate. Also, you have members of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the Senate who are not at all hiding their contempt
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for Trump. Bitter Bill Cassidy has straight up come out
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: against this anti-weaponization fund, which is, by the way, so
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: freaking wholesome. I love this. They're trying to turn this
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: into a huge scandal. Isn't it wonderful that the United
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: States Department of Justice would settle up with Americans who've
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: had their rights absolutely crushed by the government? Look at this.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Here's Bitter Bill. He's Bitter Bill from now on. Bitter
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Bill says people are concerned about paying their mortgage or rent,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: affording groceries and paying for gas. That's true. They are.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But he says they're not concerned about putting together a $ 1. 8
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: billion fund for the president and his allies to pay
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: whomever they wish with no legal precedent or accountability. Now,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this is a lie, by the way. There is legal precedent.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: The Justice Department straight up cited it when they announced
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the fund. The fund is not $ 1. 8 billion. It's $ 1. 776 billion.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: This is adding to our national debt, says Bill Cassidy,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: as if the Senate has ever been concerned about this.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: If there needs to be a settlement, the administration should
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: bring it to Congress to decide. No, they don't have to.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: The law has already conferred on the Justice Department the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: ability to handle settlements, which is what they're doing. Congress
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: had its chance, and it created a law that allows
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the Justice Department to do this. What do you want?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You want a second pass at doing the law?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Too late. Now something good can happen, and you can't
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: stop it, bitter Bill. Bitter Bill's very upset. Thumbelina attacked it, too.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Thom Tillis is ripping President Trump's $ 1. 8 billion weaponization fund,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: according to Igor Bobich over at Notus, which is called
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: News of the United States, news outlet. Quote, imagine that,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a fund that is set up to compensate people who
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: assaulted Capitol Police officers. said Thambulina. People that pled guilty
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to physical acts against the president may actually be able
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to get compensated. How absurd is that coming out of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: my mouth? Well, everything that comes out of your mouth
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is absurd. So that stands to reason. But this is, again,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: how many left-wing slush funds have we seen that have
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: screwed over the American people? USAID was an entire left-wing
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: slush fund that came at taxpayer expense. In the waning
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: weeks of the Biden administration, they spent $ 20 billion on
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: left-wing operations out of the EPA that did nothing to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: benefit America and were entirely about advancing the Democrat Party's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: political interests. Again, at taxpayer expense. Spare us your whining
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: about a couple of American citizens being made whole after
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: they were attacked by their government. And there's a lot
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of them. They're coming out of the woodwork. I'm seeing
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of these American citizens who got destroyed by
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the government, uh, including, uh, the lectern guy, you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the lectern guy, you know, him he's on X. Uh,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: he was the guy who, of course, who was depicted
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: carrying the lector, the lectern. Remember him, Nancy Pelosi's lectern.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He carried it like 20 feet. He didn't really carry
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it that far. He didn't steal it. He walked it
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: across a room. That was a kind of famous photo. And, um,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And he was describing this week that his life was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: very much upended by the government. He said, on a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: serious note, I'm writing up my complaint against the DOJ
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: DC and deliver it personally. My situation's different than most.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: What they did to me will have a generational effect
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: on my family and their livelihoods. I was mocked. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: was called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, Jim Carrey.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: My face in the accusation of of being a thief
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: was shared globally. For years, it still persists today, harming
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: my chances to win my local election or lead a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: normal life. Public school teachers told my children and their
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: friends that their dad was a terrorist. My wife's reputation
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to have to hire private security. University of South Florida
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: denied my re-entry into college. I had to fight to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: get my gun rights back. My children and myself were
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: subjected to additional screenings by the TSA. My federal probation
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: officer tried to stop me from speaking out on Tim
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Pool's program, warning that more death threats might come if
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I choose to talk. My attorney fees were over $ 100, 000.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I was fined $ 5, 000. I lost five years of my
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: life to date fighting the lies that they told about me.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: We spent an additional $ 150, 000 in publicity trying to clear
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: my name and restore my reputation. The DOJ could have
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: chosen to release the evidence clearing my name, but withheld it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: They maliciously charged me with felony theft. We lost things
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that can never be restored. But if they choose to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: do the right thing and restore the January Sixers, we
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: can finally finish setting things right. His story, of course,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: probably a little bit better known in light of the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: fact that he was photographed in this way. But there's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: lots of people who had their lives destroyed based on
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a government response to January 6th that was in no
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: way commensurate with the activities that many of these individuals
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: did on January 6th. Instead, they were turned into like
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: some sort of, you know, national security threat that justified
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: giving forever power to the Democrats and the government over
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the rest of our lives. It was a classic Rahm
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Emanuel moment. Never let a crisis go to waste. Exploit
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: this for Democrat party power forever. crush our political opponents,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and demonize people for having a different opinion, such that
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: they get silenced. That was the whole scheme, and we've
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: seen it play out for years. They tried to throw
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: President Trump in jail on this basis through the unconstitutional
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith garbage. So yes, there were people who were
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: maliciously attacked by the powers that be. And yes, they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: should be made whole. And no, you little bitches in
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the United States Senate, should not be running away from
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it because you're so corrupt and so corrupt. No, you're corrupt.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: You're corrupt. That's why we're throwing you out. That's why.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Because we want people who are ready to tell the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: truth and get this country back on track. And all
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: these guys, Bill Cassidy, Thumbelina, John Thune is recoiling. They're
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: all very upset about this.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: You're just demonstrating even further who you are. and why
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: we need a new class of people in there to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: actually clean things up. I appreciate it. I appreciate the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: exposition that we're seeing right now. In fact, in a moment,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I want to take you through what's going on with
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the Jack Smith case, that unconstitutional dude, because we just
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: got a major announcement from the Justice Department yesterday about
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the effort to to hold these guys accountable. And it's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: a big one. It's a very big one. And I've
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: got the details on it in just a moment.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Hold on. We got a lot more to get to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: here on the program. Hey, let me tell you about
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Rumble Wallet, great sponsor of our show. We love Rumble, guys. Rumble,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: it just has been just a wonderful free speech platform.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: You know, ever since I got a chance to start
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: doing this on Rumble, I've just been so elated by
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the quality of the platform, the ability for us to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: have these free conversations. Love talking to you in the chat.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: It's just been wonderful. And Rumble Wallet is equally wonderful
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: for you being able to control your own money. You know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: we hear a lot about crypto, and here's the part
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of people miss. Crypto was created so you
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: could actually own and control your money. That was the idea.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And after the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin comes along. It
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: was designed as an alternative to the banks. So instead
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of the bank controlling everything about accessing your money, whether
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: or not you get it, how quickly you get it,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: People decided to go to crypto. And now fast forward
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to today, everybody's heard about crypto, but getting started still
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: feels complicated. Well, this is precisely why you should use
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Rumble Wallet. It takes all of the complexity out and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it makes it very simple. Choose what you want. Bitcoin,
• 18:44

• 18:50
  Speaker 1: just minutes. Once you're set up, you can even support

• 19:19
  Speaker 1: so we do get charges announced yesterday from the Justice
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Department going after these people that were involved in the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith operation. Isn't this fun? We're not quite to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the grand conspiracy case yet, but we're getting closer. Here's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: how CNN wrote it up yesterday. Let's take a look.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Florida prosecutor charged with emailing herself the most sought after
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: documents from Jack Smith's Trump investigation. A former managing assistant U.S.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: attorney in the Southern District of Florida has been charged
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: with emailing herself the most sought after confidential Justice Department
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: records in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of President Trump,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: masquerading them as dessert recipes. Oh, oh, that's what we
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: would call consciousness of guilt, huh? Carmen Mercedes Lineberger, 62
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: years old, was charged with two counts of theft of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: government money or property valued less than $ 1, 000. That's the statute.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: She entered a plea of not guilty this week, yesterday.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors allege that Lineberger received an email on her Justice
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Department account in January of 2025. 2025. What was happening
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in January of 2025? Oh, that would be the final
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: days of the Biden administration. January 20th, of course, is
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the inauguration of the new president, President Trump arriving. January 2025.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: She's emailing herself all of the evidence with copies of
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a report entitled Volume 2 Report. It was related to
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a pending investigation. The Volume 2 Report was the final
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: finding of Smith's investigation of Trump and his alleged mishandling
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: of classified documents. All that garbage. Of course, it was
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a paperwork dispute. It was just nonsense. Lineberger was in
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a supervisory role in the Southern District of Florida U.S.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Attorney's Office based in Fort Pierce during the time of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the investigation and prosecution of Trump. Guys, Southern District of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Florida is precisely where the grand conspiracy case is playing
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: out right now. That's the spot. They're looking at everything.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: While she was not on the special counsel team, the U.S.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Attorney's Office played a supporting role to some parts of
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Smith's work. So they were working for Jack Smith. They
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: were they're making a distinction without a difference here. Well,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: she wasn't technically on the team, but she was helping
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the team. She was working with Jack Smith. Okay, I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: don't care. She's working as a part of an unconstitutional
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: operation to subvert the will of the American people. Trump's,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: they were talking about all this effort to go after Trump.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: The Justice Department alleges that in September of 2025, Lineberger
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: compiled portions of an internal DOJ memorandum and transmitted messages
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: she received on her government email account to her personal
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Hotmail account with the subject line, chocolate cake recipe. Chocolate
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: cake recipe. What is it with these libs and using
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: food as nicknames for their crimes? Lineberger is also accused
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of accessing the email she received earlier in the year
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: with the volume two report in December 2025 and sharing
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: it to her personal Gmail account with the file, renamed
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Bunt Cake Recipe. District Judge Eileen Cannon barred the release
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of volume two in February of 2026. She wrote in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a 15-page ruling that it's not customary for a prosecutor
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to release findings publicly for a case that was dismissed.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Cannon had tossed the case against Trump before he was reelected,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: citing the appointment of Smith as a special counsel was unconstitutional. Now,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: of course, that's because it was unconstitutional. Everything about Jack
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Smith's appointment was unconstitutional. In fact, Justice Clarence Thomas had
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: detected this in an earlier opinion that he had written
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in the United States Supreme Court going, I think this
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: guy might actually be unconstitutional. Like, who is this fraudster
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: appearing before courts claiming that he can throw President Trump
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: in jail? What the hell is this? Eileen Cannon comes
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: through and absolutely slam dunks Jack Smith's case down. That's
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: not going to happen anymore. And God bless her for that.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I appreciate Eileen Cannon for just her integrity on the bench.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: She's been one of the few bulwarks, actually, against the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: left's tyranny in the United States. And it's been great.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: It's been really nice to see her do that. But
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: here you have this woman who's emailing herself all of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: these documents, according to the Justice Department, and then concealing
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: it behind recipe names. How about no? How about like
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: an end of this crap? The Justice Department has detected it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: They found it. She's being prosecuted. And now it's her
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: turn in the hopper.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Good. Good.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: May we see more of this? That would be really
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a really big deal. Now, additionally, the United States Justice
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Department yesterday also announced a massive headline capturing story on
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a prosecution of Raul Castro. Raul Castro, this is the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: former president, clearly still the power center in Cuba, of Cuba.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And this is related to his 1996 shoot-down order of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: American citizens, just private civilians, flying in international waters. The
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Cuban government sends a couple of MiGs up at Raul
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Castro's direction to kill American citizens. And this has been
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: going on for decades. The trauma from that attack has
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: been continuing for decades with no consequences until now, until now.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: We just got the attorney general, Josh, do we have that?
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: The attorney general announcing, actually, no, stand by. I have
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: video of the attorney general, but here's what happened yesterday.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: The attorney general announced that there is this indictment against
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Raul Castro for the murder of American citizens. Yesterday, this
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: came to great joy to Cuban Americans who are loving this.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Take a look at cut five here, Cuban Americans who
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: are reacting so well to it yesterday.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: I'm very excited that after 30 plus years, we got
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: a president who listened to us and knows the real
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: threat that is Cuba to the national security.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: The Trump administration is the only government that has given us.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Hope and possibly an opportunity to return to the old country.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wildly popular among Cuban Americans. They announced this yesterday
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: down in Miami. The room was just full of standing
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: ovations as these charges. finally come through three decades later.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: It's so crazy that it took that long. And yet
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: here we are. In fact, why did it take so long?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Here's Todd Blanch being asked that question yesterday. And also,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen next? Are we sending our guys
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: in to Maduro Castro? Are we going to grab him? Well,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: here's how that question and answer went yesterday. Cut three, watch.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Key question, why now? Was there a breakthrough in this case?
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Can you speak to the evidence that leads you to
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: believe that Raul Castro directly participated in the deaths of
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: those Americans who were killed? And I have a follow-up.
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: Well, I cannot explain or justify why now as opposed to...
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: Two decades ago or 30 years.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Ago when it happened.
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: So what I can say is that you just heard
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: a lot of people talk about a ton of work
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: that the FBI did, state and local intelligence communities, our U.S.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: attorney and the state attorney general's team. and that evidence
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: was presented to a grand jury in late April, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: an indictment was returned. So I can't, as far as
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: what the evidence is, well, a lot of it's in
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: the indictment, and it would not be appropriate or fair
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: to comment outside of the indictment about the evidence, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: as you guys know, a grand jury is presented with
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: evidence and then returns an indictment to the extent that
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: they believe there's probable cause that a crime has been committed,
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: which a grand jury certainly did here.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And quick follow-up.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: What are the prospects that you could get Raul Castro
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: to the United States to face justice, given the situation there?
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: And what steps are the U.S. willing to take to
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: get him back here?
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: Well, we indict men outside of this country all the time.
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: And there's all kinds of different ways that we get
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: them here. The reason why we indict somebody is because
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: we want them here to face justice in front of
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: a jury of their peers.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: So... All right, that's good enough.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. He doesn't get a clear answer as
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to what comes next, how to get him here. But
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that is the plan. They want to get him here.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: We've seen what that looks like with Maduro. Could we
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: see it again with 94-year-old Raul Castro?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Possible.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Lots of pressure being placed on Cuba right now. One
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: last element about how long we've had an opportunity to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: grab the guy. Obama was hanging out with him back
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: in 2016. Look at this. Look at cut six. Here
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: he is hanging out at a baseball game with Raul
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Castro in Cuba.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: Watch.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: The energy was there the minute you walked inside. It
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: didn't take much to get the crowd going, except, of course,
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: the president of the United States. President Barack Obama with
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: the first family and President Raul Castro walked out to
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: a thunderous roar.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: The guy killed American citizens in 1996. There's the American
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: president hanging out with him, waving, having a great time,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: eating a hot dog at a Cuban baseball game. That Obama.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Typical stuff. All right, in a moment, Senator Rick Scott's
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: going to join us from Florida. We'll get his reaction
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: to all of this ahead. I want to thank the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: great sponsors who make the show possible. Pocket Hose Ballistic
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: is among them. Today, we love our Pocket Hose Ballistic

  Speaker 1: of Florida, Senator Rick Scott. Sir, good to have you
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: back on the show today. Thank you for joining us.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Well, yesterday was a big day. Nice to see you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Independence Day for Cuba. And hopefully we'll actually have a
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: new independence for Cuba where they have elections, they have
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: new leaders, they have democracy, and they have opportunities for
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: all their families.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: That question I played a moment ago, Senator, about why
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: it took so long. Why does it take over three
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: decades to bring charges against a man? Apparently, we have
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: got some pretty good evidence against. I saw a USA
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Today report that we have like an 11-minute audio recording
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: of him admitting that he ordered the killing of American citizens.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Why did it take this long to start the wheels
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: of justice?
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Appeasement.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: We've had presidents that just appeased. You know, this president
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: has the guts to do the right thing. I mean,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: this is protecting American lives. You know, you kill Americans,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: you should be indicted. You should go to prison. The
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: same thing has happened to Maduro. So I'm very proud
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: of him. I've been asking for this indictment for a
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: long time, for years and years and years. And this
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: is a big opportunity. I tell people, you know, we
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: have Democrats to go down there and defend the regime.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: And it's so powerful. I'm going to show you a picture.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: This is the regime.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: This is not a Holocaust survivor. This is a political
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: prisoner recently released from the Cuban prisons. They starve these
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: people to death. This guy is 45 years old.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: He looks 80.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: He has cancer. They don't give him any treatment. It's
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: great Cuban health care, supposedly. And then they torture him.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: So any Democrat goes down there, which many of them have,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: and then there's a guy, Hassan Piker, who wants me
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: and all capitalists murdered. He goes down there and defends
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: the regime. And they're like, who is the Democrat Party today?
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're defending Iran, and they act like, oh, yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: we shouldn't be so mean. No, I'm proud of what
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: the president's doing. Indict these people that kill us. Protect
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: American lives.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have more contempt for the United States than
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: they do for demonic communist regimes, it turns out. Yeah,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. And Cuba, of course, is very close to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the United States. I think people don't realize in many
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: cases how close Cuba actually is to us. How are
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: your Cuban-American constituents in Florida reacting to all of this,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Senator Scott?
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: They are so happy. There's so much energy. Yeah, Cuba
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: is 90 miles away. They've got a Chinese spy station.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Now they just bought 300 drones that could attack you know, Florida. They, so,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: and they've weaponized, you know, they've had, they send the
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: criminals here. They host terrorists there. They're friends with all
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: of our enemies. They're, you know, the government of communist China, Iran, Hezbollah, Russia. So,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: but I mean, yeah, they're so excited. Now, I hope
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: this is the path. I've been very vocal that in Venezuela,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Delcy Rodriguez needs to step up.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Get these political prisoners released.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: The people of Cuba now, we will support them, but
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: they're gonna have to do what they've been doing is
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: be very vocal and step up and we will do
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: everything we can.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I'm very optimistic and so are all my Cuban friends
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: in Miami.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: What's gonna happen next? It feels like there's a lot
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: of energy directed at Cuba that's just emerging in the last,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: especially the last 24 hours, because Marco Rubio, Secretary of State,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: just released a message to the Cuban people in Spanish
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: that they've released from the State Department. Clearly, the president's
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: talking a lot about Cuba lately. The pregnant suggestion that
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: there might be a raid to grab Raul Castro and
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: pull him out of the country. I think we had
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: new sanctions announced this week against Cuban leaders on Monday.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: So it feels like a lot is happening right now.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Where is it leading to, Senator? Well, I hope that's
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: exactly what happens. I hope they do what they did
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: in Venezuela. in Graebro Castro and have him serve justice,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: have him go to trial.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: We have trials in this country. Have him go defend himself.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: But the Cuban regime is falling apart. Socialism has never worked.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: They have no money. They have no petroleum. But the
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Castro family, they have billions of dollars, but they don't
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: spend it on anybody but themselves. What happens under socialism
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: is the leaders live in opulence and the people suffer.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Just like in what's happening, the Ayatollah lived in opulence
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: until he was murdered or killed. The same thing in Cuba.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: So I think he's going to get picked up. I
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: think the people of Cuba are going to rise up.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: And by the way, the Cuban military, the strong Cuban military,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: they're the ones who defended Maduro. I think they lasted, what,
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: five seconds against the U.S. military in defending Maduro. So
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think we have much– I don't think we
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: have much of a military left.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I said the same thing earlier this week. I'm like, man,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: if the Maduro raid is any evidence, those Cubans are
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to protect Raul Castro. We'll
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: get him out easily.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I think he ought to move to Russia.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: He ought to do what's– Assad did get the hell
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: out as fast as he can because he did. Does
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: he want to end up the rest of his life
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: and his family end up the rest of their lives
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: in American prisons? Or do they want to go live
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: in the hellhole of Russia?
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you now about what's going on in
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the United States Senate this week. I first of all,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: on these elections, Bill Cassidy just got thrown out of
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: office this week. The president endorses against him. And he
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: gets thrown out. Very unusual for an incumbent senator of
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: either party to get thrown out in the primary phase.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: That just happened. John Cornyn looks like he's destined for
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a loss next week after President Trump endorsed Ken Paxton.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm seeing these headlines that the GOP and the
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Senate is, quote, reeling, that there's just, that you've got
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: people like, you know, John Thune and, of course, Bill
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Cassidy and Tom Tillis, who are just all just losing
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: their minds, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski. What's happening right now
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: in your conference? Are people really shocked that President Trump
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: is looking for, you know, America first patriots to take
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: these jobs?
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: I think what's happening is people realizing that the public
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: wants a big change. They want things like the Save
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: America Act passed. They actually want us to be fiscally responsible.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: Stop doing these budget deals that run up the debt
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: to $ 40 trillion. They don't want earmarks. They want to
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: pass legislation that's going to be good for them. They
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: want a better economy. And so what's happening, there's a change.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: What's happening, the public has shown up. They're letting senators
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: and House members know what they want. President Trump got elected.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: He got elected on a very specific mandate. And I
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: think Republican senators and House members are all learning that
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: we have to do these things, which I believe in
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: what Trump's doing. Balance the budget. We stopped the nuclear
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: weapons in Iran. Bring democracy to Latin America. These are
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: all things we all believe in.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: But are they learning? That's the that's the big question,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: because like this week, for instance, in the wake of
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: those elections and that election news about Cornyn, now all
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: of a sudden I'm seeing that a bunch of Republicans
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: are opposed to the security funding for the East Wing.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: They're like, I don't think we should fund the ballroom.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's so stupid to say it's just about
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: funding the ballroom. It's literally the bunker underneath the ballroom.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Everybody's just lying about the funding. And then the other
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: piece of this is the weaponization fund, the anti-weaponization fund
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that President Trump just announced, this big settlement fund for
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: people who've been attacked by their government. Joe Biden was
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: cutting $ 20 billion checks to left-wing organizations from the EPA,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: and we're bitching about a $ 1. 776 billion Make People Whole fund?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: It's so out of touch with the American people, and
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: yet it's still happening this week in the Senate.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Well, look at what this president's gone through. What, three
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: assassination attempts. They tried to put him in prison for
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: the rest of his life. They tried to make sure
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: he couldn't run for office again. I mean, so like
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: in my case, they targeted me after January 6th. They
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: released my tax returns during.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: The Biden years.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: During the Clinton years, when I went against Hillary Care,
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: they targeted my company. So there's weaponization in the federal government.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: And by the way, why don't we just cut out
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: all the earmarks? I mean, that would pay for this
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: fund that's going to help people that have been subject
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: to weaponization of.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Government in multiple ways.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, so why don't we worry about stopping all
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: the wasteful spending? But let's take care of the people
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: who have been treated like.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Crap by our federal government. Our federal government is weaponized.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: They target us. They support us. us. Let's all wake up.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: This has got to change.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: So what's happening today? Now we're getting the headlines. There
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be a funding dispute over whether or
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: not ICE and Border Patrol finally, the civilian workforce finally
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: gets a little bit of money. They've been waiting for
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: months to get paid at all. And that's the debate
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: right now. And then there's a voter-rama happening today in
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the Senate. Just take us in the mechanics of this.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: What's actually happening?
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Here's what happened.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Back, we shouldn't have done it, and I didn't support it.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: But back in January, there was an agreement that we
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: would fund all the Democrat priorities, and then we didn't
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: fund Homeland Security, which was crazy. And so finally, most
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: of Homeland Security got funded except two important parts, ICE
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: and CBP. So the only way it's going to get
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: funded is we have to do it through a reconciliation,
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: which means we don't need any Democrat votes. But it
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: does take 50 Republicans to vote for ICE and CBP funding.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Seems like that should be easy. Well, what the.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Democrats do is they get to put up any amendments
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: they want. So they can put up an amendment, say, oh,
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: no money for the weaponization fund or no money for
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: this or no money for that. And so so that's
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: what we're going to go through tonight. Hopefully all Republicans
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: will stick together, stick together and say, look, we got
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: to get CBP and ICE funded. I mean, the Democrats
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: don't care about security.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: And then we got to push back about all these
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: crazy amendments that Democrats are going to do tonight because
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: we've got to get this done. The Democrats don't care
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: about funding important parts of government like homeland security.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: We do.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: OK, and then finally, you've got obviously this funding fight
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: going on. But the big priority that I think a
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: lot of American citizens like to see the Senate on
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: is the Save America Act. We've been served a lot
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: of really patronizing lip service on the subject, which is
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: deeply frustrating. Clearly, we want it. It's obviously part of
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: the president's thinking. He's not hiding it. In fact, I
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: guarantee John Thune is really annoyed by how frequently President
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Trump keeps bringing it up on social media because he's like,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get past this thing. The president doesn't
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: want to get past it. Can we get this back
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: on the floor in any capacity here for the Senate
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: to actually debate this thing?
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: It looks like what we're going to have to do, though,
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: is get rid of the filibuster because the Democrats are
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: using filibuster to stop all bills. So the filibuster was
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: always just to be used to stop debate. And then
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: we've always a 50 percent vote, but they're using it
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: to stop to stop the bill. So it looks like
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: there's the only way it's going to get passed is one.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: We have to get rid of the filibuster. Number two
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: is all Republicans have to come together and say we're
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: going to secure elections.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is not that hard. Show an I.D.
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: To vote.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: You have to prove you're a U.S. citizen and register
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: to vote. It's as simple as that, and we're all
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: going to have to come together. So I tell everybody,
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: call all senators, Republican and Democrat, and say, you have
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: got to pass the Save America Act. If we all
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: keep doing this, we will get it passed.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: But right now, we don't have 50 Republicans to do that,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the filibuster. And we need a
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: simple majority to get rid of the filibuster, which we
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: don't have. Therefore, we have to fire people who stand
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: in our way, correct?
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Well, elections matter.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: So everybody that's up for election, you ought to be asking,
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: what are you going to do?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Are you going to continue to.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: Allow the Democrats to just oppose everything? A year ago,
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: you wouldn't have thought we got rid of the filibuster
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: for nominations. But because the Democrats blocked all the Trump's nominees,
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: we finally did that. I don't think we have a choice. Look,
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: I think we ought to debate on the floor, debate,
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: spend hours debating.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: I don't care. But when we finish, you go vote.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, so that's what we have to do.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's any state government in this country
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: that requires 60 votes for a bill. That's what the
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Democrats have used this to do. Say, nope, it's a
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: super majority. And by the way, under Biden, you know,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: often they got the Republicans they needed for some horrible
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: bills like the CHIPS Act and things like that, raising
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: the debt ceiling. So we've got to start saying, what
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: do we run on?
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Let's do that.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Finally, any energy to change the leadership in the Senate
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: just yet? Are you detecting it?
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Well, as you know, I ran. I ran because I
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: thought McConnell was not doing a great job. I ran
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: when Cornyn and Thune ran. I mean, I didn't win,
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: but I think that what's changed is, you know, we're
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: having better conversations. So hopefully what will happen is we
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: start having those conversations and get some things done.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I hope so. We've got a lot to get done.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Senator Rick Scott, thank you very much from Florida. Good
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to have you back on the show, sir.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: See you, Vince. Bye-bye.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: All right, there he is, Senator Rick Scott. This is, yeah,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: a huge, huge thing. They're going down in Florida right
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: now with Raul Castro. Appreciate him coming on to talk
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: about that. But, man, that Save America Act, of course,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: dominating all of our thinking. It is true, though. The
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: math is what it is right now, which is we
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: don't have 50. We don't have 50. So we just
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: need to fire people. That's it. And we're watching as
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: 20% of the Republican conference is now leaving. That's great.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: In the United States Senate, we are flipping guys like
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: crazy out of the United States Senate. We need to
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: send in backup. In the meantime, on the Save America Act,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you know, in lieu of actually getting it, which of
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: course we should, but in lieu of actually getting it,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: our constant drumbeat on this subject is making it a
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: part of the American DNA, that this is the litmus
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: test for whether or not we will allow you to
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: occupy these positions in Congress. So we'll continue to stay
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: in this fight. But I expect I expect an actual
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: big leadership fight coming up in January, regardless of how
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: these elections go, win or lose. I expect a real
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: leadership fight to come up in January with with the
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: new Congress. And and it should happen like, you know,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: we tried to. OK, let's it's time to go get
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: somebody else in there, somebody you can actually twist the
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: arms appropriately and get these jobs done. that needs to happen.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, even in this week, as President Trump's throwing
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Cornyn and Cassidy out of office, rightfully so, and then
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Thune is bitching and moaning about the fact that we've
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: got a weaponization fund or that we have to fund
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: the bunker underneath the ballroom. You heard me just say
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: it just now. The bunker under the ballroom? Like, why
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: am I seeing ballroom funding in every outlet and coming
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: out of the mouths of these Senators, they're saying, oh,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: it's a billion dollars for the ballroom. It's not for
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: the ballroom, you utter jackasses. It's for the bunker that
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: goes underneath it. It's for the national security concerns that
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: the military has. It's for the future president of the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: United States. It has nothing to do with this president
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: of the United States anyway. He's barely going to get
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: a chance to use the ballroom or the bunker. The
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: lies are just too much for me. We need a
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: better cast here. We need a better team here. And
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: the president's working on it. So I think we'll see.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I think this is going to come to even more
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: of a head. I don't think the president is backing
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: down at all, which is really important. All right, let
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: me see what else I have for you, because there's
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: some other big elements we've got going on in the
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: world right now. We've got Iran news emerging that, you know,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: this is the Iran story. It's everything's in fits and starts.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: It's like we're just hoping for a deal at any moment.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Everything feels like it's constantly very imminent or it's falling apart.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: And then, of course, you see oil prices changed. This week,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: we saw oil prices come down. Future prices on oil
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: came down, again, beneath $ 100 a barrel. And the reason
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: for that is because the president has been making sounds like, hey,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: we're getting a lot closer to a deal. We're getting
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: a lot closer to a deal. I really do hope
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: that's the case because it'd be good to have a
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: deal that gets rid of Iran's nuclear weapons. But the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: president says that we're sort of on the borderline right now.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: We're either at the borderline of a massive breakthrough or
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: the other side of it is we're just going to
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: have to break Iran. Watch, here's cut seven. The president
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: saying that we're on a dividing line right now.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: You said yesterday you're about an hour away from making
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: a decision.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Where does that stand today?
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: Have you heard anything from them?
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: A very....
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: Right on the borderline, believe me.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: If we don't get the right answers, it goes very quickly.
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: We're all ready to go.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: We have to get the right answers.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: It would have to be a complete, 100% good answers.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: And if we do, we save.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: A lot of time, energy, and lives, most importantly.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Could go very quickly.
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: Or a few days.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: It could be a few days, but.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: It could go very quickly.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Iran is a defeated nation. We're dealing with some people,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: and we're dealing, actually, I must tell you, we're dealing
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: with some very good people. We're dealing with people that are,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: I think, far more reasonable than the people that are
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: really no longer with us. We're dealing with some people
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: with talent, with good brain power, and we're pretty impressed
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: by it. So hopefully those people will make a deal
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: that's going to be great for everybody.
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: But I don't know.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Do I get what?
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: I never get tired.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: But what I like to do, if I can save.
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: War by waiting a couple of days, if.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: I can save people being killed by waiting a couple
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: of days, I think it's a great.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Thing to do.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: You know, you get the impression that there are a
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: lot of world leaders in world history, certainly even in
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: American history, American presidents who kind of relish the power
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: of killing people. They kind of like that they can
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: do it. And they exercise that power kind of recklessly.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: President Trump's attitude on this subject is, I don't want
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: to have to do it. And I don't want to
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: do it. I'm going to resist doing it. Remember, he
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: said he was going to blow up all the bridges
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: and the power plants. He's been resisting that in Iran.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Because he really doesn't want to hurt the people of Iran.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: No interest in that. His thing is just, I got
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: to solve this conflict. I got to get rid of
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: this nuclear threat in Iran. That's his red line. That's
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: his red line. And so he's in the midst of
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: negotiating a deal here. Now, this is not always going
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: to make Israel happy, by the way. In another sign
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: this week that President Trump is not under Netanyahu's thumb,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: is this headline that's been duplicated a couple of other places.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: The new Iran peace proposals had triggered a tense Trump
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu phone call. Apparently, according to multiple outlets, President Trump
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: and Benjamin Netanyahu had what they're referring to as a, quote,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: difficult phone call on Tuesday night. A difficult phone call.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: This difficult call Tuesday, three sources said. One source said
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu's hair was on fire after the call. That's quite
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: a call if your hair's on fire by the end
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: of it. A revised peace memo drafted by Qatar and
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Pakistan with input from other regional mediators to try to
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: bridge the gaps between the United States and Iran, says Axios.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: It comes with Trump vacillating over ordering a massive strike
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: or holding out for a deal. Netanyahu is highly skeptical
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: about the negotiations and wants to resume the war. to
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: further degrade Iran's military capabilities and weaken the regime by
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: destroying its critical infrastructure. That would be power plants and bridges.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: The president doesn't want to do that. Apparently, they had
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: a difficult call. In other words, he's not, you know,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: serving at Netanyahu's pleasure.
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: In fact, the.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: President says it's the inverse. Netanyahu's doing whatever I say. Watch,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: cut eight. Here's the president yesterday. What have you said
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: to Prime Minister Netanyahu about Iran and how long to
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: hold off on strikes?
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: He's fine. He'll do whatever I want him to do.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: He's a very good man. He'll do whatever I want
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: him to do. And he's a great guy. To me,
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: he's a great guy. Don't forget, he was a wartime
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: prime minister. And he's not treated right in Israel, in
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: my opinion. I'm right now At 99% in Israel, I
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: could run for prime minister. So maybe after I do this,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: I'll go to Israel, run for prime minister. I had
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: a poll this morning. I'm 99%. So that's good. But no,
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: he's a wartime prime minister. I just don't think they
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: treat him well. I think they have a president over
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: there that treats him very poorly.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the president, of course, very gracious about Benjamin Netanyahu.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: But you hear him say up front, he's like, look,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: he's going to do whatever I want him to do.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously, the United States, the power, the power
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: center in this relationship and the president's goal, just got
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: to denuclearize Iran. Got to get rid of the nukes.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: That's his red line. His red line is get rid
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: of the nukes. Well, that makes a lot of sense. Now,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: you say that, but then we just got a report
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: this morning. I'm going to show this to you. We
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: just got a report this morning from Reuters, apparently, that
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Iran is announcing it has its own red lines, which
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: is to keep its nuclear material. This isn't going to work.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: If President Trump's red line is you don't keep it
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: and their red line is we do keep it, This
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: thing's heading for disaster. Listen to this.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: Well, we just got some news from Reuters. They're reporting
• 52:27
  Speaker 9: that the Supreme Leader of Iran is saying that the
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: enriched uranium inside the country must stay inside of Iran.
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: This is a position they've held since the very beginning
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: of all of these negotiations. And they're not budging on this.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: As far as the Reuters- That ain't going to work.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: That's not going to work. That's not- This is not
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: going to work. The president's red line is literally get
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: rid of your nuke material. And if they're saying our
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: red line is keep it, we're going to blow something
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: else up.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Reporting today.
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: So we'll see how it complicates matters in these latest
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: rounds of talks. The president still, though, hopes that Iran
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: will come to a deal, but he's warning that he's
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: willing to ditch this six-week ceasefire and resume strikes if
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: they give him the wrong answer.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: We're going to give this one shot. I'm in no hurry.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: You never think, oh, the midterms, I'm in a hurry.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I'm in no hurry.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: I just ideally I'd like to see a few people
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: killed as opposed to a lot. We can do it
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: either way, but but I'd like to see a few
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: people killed.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: What if we just set up some sort of like
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed to go there at all arrangement? Like
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: it's not really a deal. We just tell them. Like, hey,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: you know, that enriched uranium that's been buried under the
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: ground for, you know, after after last year, after we
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: blew it up. If we see you go close to that,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: we'll kill you. But other than that, you're good to go.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: And what if that was the deal? It's just like,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: you know, we pull up stakes. We open up the
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Strait of Hormuz. We just like any Iranian ship that
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: tries to lay mines, we just blow it up. And
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: then anybody who tries to get close to the enriched uranium,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: we blow them up. And then, you know, the rest
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: is like you can figure it out from there. What
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: if that was the deal? I don't know. We'll see.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. But the president has been pretty clear.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Everything else is negotiable. Nukes, not negotiable. How many times
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: do I have to say this? Do they get this
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: program in Iran? Can we send it over there? Can
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: the gay, deformed Ayatollah watch the show, please? This is
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: the first time I've been appealing for the gay, deformed
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Ayatollah to watch the show, the gay, deformed Supreme Leader.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: It'd be really helpful if you would watch this program.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: And let me just explain it to you as carefully
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: as I can. As clearly as I can. No nukes,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: and this all ends. No nukes, and this all ends.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: All right, see if somebody can get that to him.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: I know he's difficult to reach. Yeah. Anyway, that's it.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: That's all I've got to say today, as far as
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned. Actually, no, I've got a lot more to
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: say today. We're going to be getting into it on
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the VIN show. Actually, one more thing before I leave,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: now that I'm on the issue. Meaning, now that my
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: brain has thought about it. I was talking to you
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: about James Talafrico earlier, you know, the guy who's running
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: in Texas against Ken Paxton after he wins next week. Yesterday,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Ken Paxton was apparently workshopping what to call this guy.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: They were workshopping his nickname. Watch this as Ken Paxton
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: asks the audience what they should call James Talafrico. Watch this.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Cut to.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Six-gender Jimmy.
• 55:31
  Speaker 10: Okay, that was the first idea. All right, Madison had
• 55:37
  Speaker 10: an idea.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Come here, Madison.
• 55:39
  Speaker 10: You have to say it the way we talked about it,
• 55:40
  Speaker 10: not the whole idea. Low-T-Tallarico.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: Low-T.
• 55:47
  Speaker 10: That's kind of like low-energy jab, isn't it? Okay, and
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: then I've got one more. Tofu-Tallarico.
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 56:02
  Speaker 10: I think you won.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I think you won.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: It's a perfectly, perfectly good name. Low-T Talarico. It's not great, though.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Let's be honest. It's not great. Talafrico is clearly the
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: winner in this conversation. I don't even know why this
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: is really being debated at all. This should not be
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: a debate. The guy is Talafrico. He's a total freak. Talafrico.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: It just rolls off the tongue. It's perfect. Destroy him
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: with Talafrico. I've already spoken on this issue. I can't
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: even believe it's being debated, actually. It's like, can you
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: believe this, Chad? The disrespect that I am served? I
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: told you months ago this guy was Talifrico, and they're
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: still talking about it.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Well, whatever.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: That's not going to deter me. I still want... Ken
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Paxton to win, so I'm not going to hold it
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: against him. But come on, Ken. Get on board. Everybody
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: else is.
• 56:49
  Speaker 11: All right.

  Speaker 11: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
• 57:46
  Speaker 11: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 57:49
  Speaker 11: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the

  Speaker 11: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
