- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Vince on a Thursday. Great to
- 0:02Speaker 1: have you with us. Some big news this morning. The
- 0:05Speaker 1: Democrat Party once again rigging an election, this time in Maine.
- 0:10Speaker 1: To hell with the voters. They've thrown Graham Platner out
- 0:14Speaker 1: of the race. Platner making the big announcement last night.
- 0:16Speaker 1: We'll get into the details in just a moment. And look,
- 0:20Speaker 1: he's kamikaze-ing his own party and it couldn't happen to
- 0:23Speaker 1: a better group of people. More ahead on that subject. Also,
- 0:26Speaker 1: the President of the United States just wrapped things up
- 0:28Speaker 1: at the NATO Summit. in Turkey, and then he left Turkey,
- 0:32Speaker 1: headed off to the UK, but he left in a
- 0:35Speaker 1: different plane than the one he came in. Why is that?
- 0:38Speaker 1: We'll explore it. And what's going on with fraud in
- 0:41Speaker 1: the United States, especially when it comes to people who
- 0:44Speaker 1: pour into our country using these H-1B visas? Well, we
- 0:48Speaker 1: got a huge announcement from the Trump administration on this yesterday,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and joining us today on this program exclusively, the Inspector

- 2:15Speaker 1: out of my crisp plant mug. I've got my I
- 2:17Speaker 1: don't know if you can see this. I've got my
- 2:19Speaker 1: Chris Plant mug. Let's see here. That says Chris Plant
- 2:22Speaker 1: right there. And then right on the other side of it,
- 2:24Speaker 1: it has one of my favorite quotes of all time.
- 2:26Speaker 1: You've heard this before. It comes from Chris. It says,
- 2:28Speaker 1: were it not for double standards, liberals would have no
- 2:31Speaker 1: standards at all. In fact, that's one of the themes
- 2:34Speaker 1: of today's show and basically almost every day show. Graham
- 2:37Speaker 1: Platner just got thrown out on his ass by the
- 2:41Speaker 1: Democrat establishment. And he's pretty upset about it, actually. We
- 2:46Speaker 1: had a bunch of allegations this week that have emerged
- 2:48Speaker 1: conveniently in the final days before Graham Plattner would be, well,
- 2:53Speaker 1: permanently on the ballot in Maine going into the general election.
- 2:57Speaker 1: They had until Monday to get rid of him, and
- 2:59Speaker 1: they pulled out all the stops. All of a sudden,
- 3:01Speaker 1: all the allegations started coming out about him. Now, to
- 3:04Speaker 1: reiterate the point that I've been making throughout this saga,
- 3:07Speaker 1: we all know that Graham Plattner is a scumbag. We've
- 3:10Speaker 1: known it forever. And the media's attempts to pull the
- 3:13Speaker 1: wool over your eyes have been utterly... preposterous. This idea that,
- 3:17Speaker 1: oh my goodness, we're just discovering it. There's nothing to that.
- 3:20Speaker 1: But they have emptied out all of the ammunition this
- 3:24Speaker 1: week in an effort to take them out. And it worked.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It worked. Here's Graham Platner last night, filming it on
- 3:32Speaker 1: his iPhone, sitting on his deck saying, I'm suspending this campaign.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Cut one.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Watch.
- 3:38Speaker 3: We believe that for the movement to continue... It can't
- 3:46Speaker 3: be me. And for that reason, we are suspending campaign operations.
- 4:05Speaker 3: This is incredibly difficult because I know that some will
- 4:09Speaker 3: think it's an admission of guilt, and it most certainly
- 4:11Speaker 3: is not. We're not doing it because of the allegations.
- 4:14Speaker 3: We're doing it because of the structures that are being
- 4:16Speaker 3: taken away from us by those in power.
- 4:19Speaker 1: He continues to maintain, I didn't do this. I didn't
- 4:22Speaker 1: do this. He said that a lot before, including, I
- 4:25Speaker 1: had no idea there was a Nazi tattoo on my chest,
- 4:28Speaker 1: despite the fact that we know that he was referring
- 4:30Speaker 1: to it as mitotenkopf and saying and very proud of
- 4:35Speaker 1: the fact that he had a Nazi tattoo on his
- 4:37Speaker 1: chest up until the rest of the world noticed. So,
- 4:39Speaker 1: you know, this is this is par for the course
- 4:41Speaker 1: for this guy. He's saying it's not true. But pay
- 4:44Speaker 1: attention to how he says the Democrat establishment is now
- 4:47Speaker 1: bearing down on him. The very same Democrat establishment that
- 4:50Speaker 1: was rooting him on like crazy, who said this guy
- 4:53Speaker 1: should stay in the race. We love him. We got
- 4:56Speaker 1: to stop Trump with him. Here's Grant Plattner last night saying, actually,
- 4:59Speaker 1: what's happening is the party is removing information. any ability
- 5:05Speaker 1: for me to win this race. They've removed the structures,
- 5:08Speaker 1: the donors, the backing. Basically, they were going to leave
- 5:11Speaker 1: me out in the middle of the street and just
- 5:12Speaker 1: keep hitting me with the bus. Cut to watch this.
- 5:17Speaker 3: And I also feel an immense amount of responsibility to
- 5:24Speaker 3: everyone who has worked so hard to get us to
- 5:27Speaker 3: where we are. We went toe to toe with one
- 5:37Speaker 3: of the most entrenched political systems in the history of
- 5:40Speaker 3: the world. And we won.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Did you?
- 5:45Speaker 3: We beat them on June 9th in overwhelming numbers. We
- 5:52Speaker 3: did it the right way. We built a campaign. We
- 5:55Speaker 3: engaged in electoral politics. We motivated people. We banded together.
- 5:59Speaker 3: We did it the way that we were told we
- 6:02Speaker 3: are supposed to make change. And we won. And now
- 6:06Speaker 3: they are not going to let us have it.
- 6:12Speaker 1: So you didn't win.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Not if it's me.
- 6:16Speaker 1: He said they're taking away all of the donations. They're
- 6:19Speaker 1: taking away all of the funding. They're taking away the
- 6:21Speaker 1: door knockers. They're taking away all of the political apparatus
- 6:25Speaker 1: necessary to win a Senate campaign. They are leaving him
- 6:28Speaker 1: high and dry. The party establishment, specifically the Democrat Party,
- 6:33Speaker 1: has taken a knife and planted it squarely in the
- 6:35Speaker 1: back of Graham Plattner. After spending all this time telling
- 6:38Speaker 1: you how much it would be great to have him
- 6:41Speaker 1: as a U.S. senator from Maine. In fact, just, you know,
- 6:45Speaker 1: I'll take you down memory lane in a moment, but
- 6:47Speaker 1: I just want to emphasize this point about how the
- 6:49Speaker 1: establishment did this. This is, again, the Democrat establishment doing this,
- 6:53Speaker 1: undermining the will of the people of Maine. You know,
- 6:55Speaker 1: so much of the disgusting stuff about Graham Plattner was known,
- 6:58Speaker 1: and yet Democrat primary voters still supported him in Maine.
- 7:01Speaker 1: despite all of that. And the Democrats, their position is
- 7:04Speaker 1: like to help with the voters. We don't care what
- 7:06Speaker 1: you want. We're not going to let you have your
- 7:08Speaker 1: general election nominee. And so you'll find somebody else now.
- 7:12Speaker 1: That's the way they're handling this. And so here, last night,
- 7:14Speaker 1: here's one of the major left-wing cable networks, a lesbian
- 7:18Speaker 1: network called Ms. Now, talking about Graham Plattner's video and saying,
- 7:23Speaker 1: this is absurd. The Democrat establishment stopped him. That never happened.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Watch this.
- 7:30Speaker 3: From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank all
- 7:36Speaker 3: of you. And keep fighting. We're going to win someday.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Well, that was Graham Plattner officially announcing that he is
- 7:49Speaker 4: dropping off of the ballot for Maine Senate or excuse me,
- 7:53Speaker 4: for federal Senate from Maine, but taking zero responsibility for
- 7:58Speaker 4: any of the scandals and more troubling things in his
- 8:02Speaker 4: past that have destroyed that campaign. Instead, blaming Trump. let's see,
- 8:08Speaker 4: corporate media, the political establishment, lots of hate for the
- 8:14Speaker 4: political establishment, saying that we banded together, we did it
- 8:20Speaker 4: the way we were told, We were supposed to make
- 8:23Speaker 4: change and we won and now they are not going
- 8:25Speaker 4: to let us have it. So lots of finger pointing
- 8:29Speaker 4: and blame and not taking any responsibility. Note that whoever
- 8:36Speaker 4: he conceives of as the political establishment, you do have
- 8:40Speaker 4: many of his once allies, including Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna.
- 8:45Speaker 4: also calling for him to drop out people who believe
- 8:49Speaker 4: many of the same policy ideas, believe in many of
- 8:51Speaker 4: the same policy ideas that Graham Plattner himself says that
- 8:56Speaker 4: he was taken down for. He also said during that
- 8:59Speaker 4: 10-minute video that all we were asking for was health care,
- 9:04Speaker 4: was to end the genocide, to use our taxpayer dollars
- 9:07Speaker 4: at home to uplift our communities instead of waging war overseas.
- 9:10Speaker 4: We were asking for a fair system. We are asking
- 9:13Speaker 4: for an end to the corruption. So lots of allegations
- 9:18Speaker 4: that he was being taken out by nefarious forces that
- 9:22Speaker 4: are forcing him to suspend his campaign rather than the drip, drip,
- 9:28Speaker 4: drip of scandal after scandal.
- 9:30Speaker 1: So this is so funny. So what you're watching is
- 9:35Speaker 1: she's preaching to the left wing choir here and she's
- 9:37Speaker 1: telling them, oh, look at him. He's being so silly.
- 9:40Speaker 1: He He thinks that there's a conspiracy against him to
- 9:43Speaker 1: remove him, that some nefarious establishment. Who is this establishment anyway?
- 9:47Speaker 1: There is no establishment. It's all just his fault. It's
- 9:50Speaker 1: funny because in the midst of this campaign, Ms. Now
- 9:54Speaker 1: throughout the entire Graham Plattner campaign up until this moment
- 9:58Speaker 1: was conjuring defenses. of all of his horrific behavior. They
- 10:02Speaker 1: were constantly defending him, constantly. allowing him to just be
- 10:07Speaker 1: a scumbag, call himself a communist, mocking Purple Heart recipients,
- 10:12Speaker 1: attacking women. Ms. Now was a place where Graham Plattner's
- 10:15Speaker 1: campaign was in good standing throughout all of that.
- 10:18Speaker 5: Oh, the drip, drip, drip.
- 10:19Speaker 1: That's what took him out.
- 10:20Speaker 5: You serious?
- 10:23Speaker 1: It's so full of crap. It's so full of crap.
- 10:26Speaker 1: And she is a mouthpiece for the Democrat establishment. Now
- 10:31Speaker 1: trying to smack this away is nothing more than a
- 10:33Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Plattner's right about this. The Democrats did take
- 10:38Speaker 1: him out in this way. The last thing they care
- 10:40Speaker 1: about is what the voters want. It's about what's good
- 10:42Speaker 1: for their power. And remember, throughout the campaign, you had
- 10:47Speaker 1: people like she mentioned Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders was all
- 10:51Speaker 1: in on Graham Platner. He's my kind of guy. I
- 10:54Speaker 1: love Graham Platner. He's the best. Here's cut three. Here's
- 10:57Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. Watch this.
- 10:58Speaker 3: I'm going to do everything I can to make sure
- 11:00Speaker 3: that Graham Platner is the next senator from the state
- 11:02Speaker 3: of Maine.
- 11:04Speaker 1: I don't care how many women I have to smack around.
- 11:06Speaker 1: We're going to get everybody out of the way so
- 11:08Speaker 1: Graham Platner can get in the Senate. Not so. Now
- 11:11Speaker 1: they're turning on him because they saw the writing on
- 11:13Speaker 1: the wall. They saw that he was going to lose
- 11:15Speaker 1: this thing. Susan Collins is going to win easily. And
- 11:18Speaker 1: Graham Platner was not only going to be a net
- 11:20Speaker 1: drag on Maryland, he'll be a net drag on the
- 11:22Speaker 1: whole country as he once again is an avatar for
- 11:26Speaker 1: the worst tendencies of Democrats. Ruben Gallego, remember him? Ruben Gallego, Gallego, Gallego,
- 11:32Speaker 1: Pantolones and Fuego. He's Eric Swalwell's best friend, the guy
- 11:35Speaker 1: who pretends like he doesn't even know him anymore. Here's
- 11:38Speaker 1: Gallego saying, you know, that Graham Platner is a very
- 11:40Speaker 1: authentic human being. I love this guy. Cut four.
- 11:43Speaker 5: Watch.
- 11:43Speaker 6: This guy is an authentic man. You know, he's not anti-Semitic,
- 11:48Speaker 6: you know, and more importantly, not more importantly, but just
- 11:51Speaker 6: as important, is that he's going to win this election.
- 11:53Speaker 6: And we need to win elections. We cannot go another four, five,
- 11:58Speaker 6: six years trying to get the Senate back.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Most importantly, he says, well, actually, it's equally important because
- 12:05Speaker 1: he realizes how callous and stupid this sounds. You know,
- 12:08Speaker 1: the most important thing is not that he's got a
- 12:10Speaker 1: Nazi tattoo on his chest. The most important thing is
- 12:12Speaker 1: not that he's smacking women around. It's not the most
- 12:15Speaker 1: important thing is not that he's a rapist. The most
- 12:17Speaker 1: important thing is not that he's a communist. No, it
- 12:21Speaker 1: is that he is going to help us stop Trump.
- 12:24Speaker 1: He is going to give the Democrat Party power. The
- 12:27Speaker 1: most important thing about Graham Platner is that he gives
- 12:30Speaker 1: my party power.
- 12:31Speaker 7: Power.
- 12:33Speaker 1: That's what Gallego said. And that's what they really want.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Here's another Democrat senator, Angela Ossobrooks, not that long ago,
- 12:42Speaker 1: asked by a great reporter, Nick Ballasey, about Graham Plattner.
- 12:46Speaker 1: And she did the Sergeant Schultz routine. I know nothing.
- 12:49Speaker 1: I know nothing. All I know is that I want
- 12:51Speaker 1: more power for my party. Watch this. Cut five.
- 12:54Speaker 8: What do you think about the controversies, the Social media
- 12:57Speaker 8: posts that leaked and now this scandal of him soliciting.
- 13:01Speaker 9: I don't know him.
- 13:02Speaker 7: Honestly, I've never met him. What I do know is
- 13:05Speaker 7: that I'm supporting Democrats.
- 13:07Speaker 10: We need Democrats in office to fight back against Donald Trump.
- 13:11Speaker 1: That's it. That's the only rule. We just need people
- 13:14Speaker 1: to fight Trump. We don't need, and what are they
- 13:18Speaker 1: fighting back against? Well, it's the Trump agenda. What's the
- 13:20Speaker 1: Trump agenda? Securing the borders, making America safe, bringing peace
- 13:23Speaker 1: to the world, bringing down energy prices, making life more affordable.
- 13:27Speaker 1: We've got to stop this agenda by any means necessary.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Get the Nazi in there. That was the plan until
- 13:36Speaker 1: it became clear that he wasn't going to win. And
- 13:39Speaker 1: now it was just going to be a problem for them.
- 13:41Speaker 1: So get rid of them. That's what they did. And
- 13:45Speaker 1: here's Plattner kamikaze-ing them on the way out, going, it's
- 13:49Speaker 1: the establishment who did this. The establishment did this to me.
- 13:54Speaker 1: They suffocated this campaign on purpose. Yeah, how quickly things
- 14:00Speaker 1: change when you're a Democrat. You know, now they're crapping
- 14:04Speaker 1: all over them. A few weeks ago, they were cheering
- 14:06Speaker 1: for him. Look at this, cut six. They were crazy
- 14:15Speaker 1: for Graham Platner. There he was in Maine. Right after
- 14:21Speaker 1: the primary in June, Graham Platner's going to save us.
- 14:24Speaker 1: It's going to be the greatest thing for the country ever.
- 14:28Speaker 1: And now they've thrown him directly out the window. They
- 14:32Speaker 1: defenestrated Graham Platner.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:36Speaker 1: And it also has the same vibes, by the way,
- 14:39Speaker 1: as the Biden throwout. We talked about this earlier this
- 14:43Speaker 1: week that Remember when Joe Biden was in office, the
- 14:47Speaker 1: CNN and Ms. Now, these networks, they spent a lot
- 14:49Speaker 1: of time making excuses for his failing brain. They pretended
- 14:52Speaker 1: like it wasn't happening. In fact, they called things, like
- 14:55Speaker 1: when you acknowledge that he had a failing brain, they said,
- 14:56Speaker 1: that's a deep fake. That's a deep fake, they said,
- 14:59Speaker 1: when you saw real footage of him wandering around a stage,
- 15:02Speaker 1: staring blankly. Deep fake or cheap fake. That's what they said,
- 15:06Speaker 1: cheap fake. And then all of a sudden, after that
- 15:10Speaker 1: debate in unison, remember the cable network's They all turned
- 15:14Speaker 1: on him. In fact, it was kind of around the
- 15:15Speaker 1: same time of year, wasn't it, now that we come
- 15:17Speaker 1: to think about it? Wasn't it June, that presidential debate?
- 15:21Speaker 5: It was June.
- 15:22Speaker 1: They had a presidential debate, President Trump and President Biden.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Biden fails spectacularly on stage. The entire political Democrat establishment
- 15:30Speaker 1: turns on him in unison. And all of the cable
- 15:32Speaker 1: panels by the end of the debate are all saying
- 15:34Speaker 1: that perhaps it's time for him to go. Remember that?
- 15:37Speaker 5: Wow.
- 15:37Speaker 9: Weird.
- 15:38Speaker 1: So now it's July, a couple months in advance of
- 15:40Speaker 1: an election, kind of the last minute to replace the
- 15:42Speaker 1: guy without the voters being involved at all. And they're
- 15:45Speaker 1: doing it to Graham Plattner. Here they are on CNN,
- 15:49Speaker 1: cut seven, turning on Graham.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Watch.
- 15:52Speaker 10: There is an issue here with a lot of very
- 15:56Speaker 10: prominent Democrats, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, two among them,
- 16:01Speaker 10: who basically turned the other way at The first set
- 16:06Speaker 10: of allegations, why does it take a sexual assault allegation
- 16:09Speaker 10: for them to change their minds?
- 16:10Speaker 11: Right, and to that point, I heard Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator
- 16:12Speaker 11: Kirsten Gillibrand, speak at the Aspen Institute last week. And
- 16:15Speaker 11: when Graham Plattner came up, all she had to say
- 16:17Speaker 11: was that he was a strong candidate and was going to,
- 16:19Speaker 11: you know, soar to a victory.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Where was this coverage?
- 16:23Speaker 11: There was no even an acknowledgment of the New York
- 16:25Speaker 11: Times report of the Nazi tattoo. And if you all
- 16:28Speaker 11: will remember, this is the same senator who was called
- 16:30Speaker 11: the Me Too senator because, in part, because she led
- 16:33Speaker 11: the charge against Al Franken in the Senate. She very much,
- 16:36Speaker 11: you know, was instrumental in pushing that culture forward. And
- 16:38Speaker 11: I think Me Too was necessary in a lot of ways.
- 16:40Speaker 11: But we didn't need a rape allegation to know that
- 16:43Speaker 11: Graham Plattner had already allegedly violated the standards that she set.
- 16:47Speaker 11: And she was willing to sacrifice all her principles, among
- 16:49Speaker 11: many other Democrats, to go up against arguably the most
- 16:52Speaker 11: moderate Republican in the Senate, Susan Collins, who's already willing
- 16:56Speaker 11: to go up against Trump. You know, this is not
- 16:58Speaker 11: some super partisan person.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Where was all this coverage during the campaign? Where was that? Now,
- 17:07Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, actually, it's kind of interesting.
- 17:09Speaker 1: There's some Democrats here who were supporting him despite all
- 17:12Speaker 1: these allegations.
- 17:13Speaker 5: What?
- 17:13Speaker 1: You're just telling us now? CNN is just telling its
- 17:16Speaker 1: audience about this now? Yeah, it's it's it's. Once you
- 17:23Speaker 1: see the way these things play out, you're never going
- 17:27Speaker 1: to miss them. It's always the same thing. So always
- 17:30Speaker 1: fundamentally about what helps the Democrats the most. If you
- 17:33Speaker 1: filter this Filter everything that you're seeing from these lefty
- 17:38Speaker 1: establishment outlets through that lens. It all makes perfect sense.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Perfect sense. President Trump never wanted to filter his message.
- 17:47Speaker 1: In fact, he addressed the Graham Platner stuff yesterday during
- 17:50Speaker 1: his travels. Here's cut eight, the president of the United
- 17:53Speaker 1: States talking about Graham Platner getting thrown out. Watch.
- 17:56Speaker 5: He's in a bind. He's in a bind. But should
- 18:00Speaker 5: they be able to do it? Well, I guess he's
- 18:02Speaker 5: going to lose. I would imagine he's going to lose.
- 18:06Speaker 5: It's very interesting.
- 18:08Speaker 8: When a Republican woman came out with the same charge,
- 18:11Speaker 8: nobody believed her.
- 18:12Speaker 5: When this woman came out, everybody believed her, right?
- 18:15Speaker 1: That's exactly right. That's exactly right. In fact, you remember,
- 18:19Speaker 1: you know, the New York Times publishes that piece in June.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Lindsey Fifield says, this is a conservative woman. She says,
- 18:24Speaker 1: I dated Grant Plattner for a couple of years. He
- 18:26Speaker 1: treated me like crap. He physically abused me. And the
- 18:29Speaker 1: media just, you know, they did not process it. They
- 18:32Speaker 1: kind of gave it a yawn. They tried to diminish
- 18:34Speaker 1: the credibility of the story. And so the Democrats had
- 18:37Speaker 1: to bring out heavier guns here and to take them out.
- 18:40Speaker 5: And they did.
- 18:41Speaker 1: So that's that's the current state of affairs. Now, as
- 18:44Speaker 1: we're doing this show this morning, I should tell you,
- 18:46Speaker 1: I we don't know at this hour whether Graham Plattner
- 18:50Speaker 1: has officially filed his paperwork. He indicated that he would.
- 18:54Speaker 1: But there are some steps still required for him to
- 18:58Speaker 1: fully withdraw from this race. And not clear that he's
- 19:02Speaker 1: done that yet. So keep your eyes open for that story.
- 19:05Speaker 1: But he's got until Monday to officially withdraw from this race.
- 19:09Speaker 1: He's trying to exert some sort of influence over how
- 19:12Speaker 1: they pick the next person in the race. But for now,
- 19:16Speaker 1: still chaos in the Democrat Party, and it couldn't happen
- 19:18Speaker 1: to a better group of people. But in case, again,
- 19:20Speaker 1: you've ever been tempted to think they actually care about democracy,
- 19:25Speaker 1: that's the thing they hate the most. And the Graham
- 19:27Speaker 1: Platner episode proves it yet again. It really does. All right,
- 19:32Speaker 1: coming up on the program, we're gonna get to more
- 19:34Speaker 1: of the president's adventures, because he went overseas, met with
- 19:37Speaker 1: a bunch of NATO countries, smacked a few of them
- 19:39Speaker 1: around and got something out of it. Also kind of
- 19:42Speaker 1: interesting that he switched planes to fly to the UK yesterday.
- 19:47Speaker 1: What we're hearing on that subject, because it's very fascinating
- 19:51Speaker 1: and simultaneously concerning, more ahead on this edition of Vince.
- 19:56Speaker 1: We want to thank Bon Charge for supporting the show today.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Bon Charge is a great, great sponsor of our program
- 20:02Speaker 1: and has provided Me with an infrared sauna blanket and
- 20:06Speaker 1: my dear wife, Allison, with a red light face mask.
- 20:08Speaker 1: And we love these products. In fact, that sauna blanket,
- 20:13Speaker 1: ever since I got it, it's just been amazing. It
- 20:16Speaker 1: helps with muscle recovery, detoxification, total game changer. I can
- 20:19Speaker 1: just wrap myself up in it, let the infrared heat work.
- 20:22Speaker 1: It's magic. It really is an amazing thing. And it's
- 20:25Speaker 1: created a huge difference for me in how I relax
- 20:27Speaker 1: and how rejuvenated I feel afterward. That's key. And Allison
- 20:31Speaker 1: loves the red light face mask because red light therapy
- 20:33Speaker 1: is well studied. It's very impressive. And she has found
- 20:35Speaker 1: this because it improves your skin's texture, reduces inflammation. She's
- 20:39Speaker 1: seen fantastic results. She wears the thing every day. She
- 20:41Speaker 1: loves it. It's like having a mini spa treatment right
- 20:44Speaker 1: in our home. Now, if you're thinking about trying these out,

- 21:17Speaker 2: All right.
- 21:18Speaker 1: So the president of the United States dealing with a
- 21:21Speaker 1: lot in the last 24 hours, a lot actually. And
- 21:26Speaker 1: let me talk to you about, first of all, what's
- 21:28Speaker 1: going on with Iran. Yesterday, overnight in Iran, the second
- 21:32Speaker 1: night of strikes in a row, more targets being obliterated
- 21:36Speaker 1: as the United States military is just beating the hell
- 21:39Speaker 1: out of the Iranian military right now or whatever's left
- 21:42Speaker 1: of it. And that's because Iran continues to act like
- 21:46Speaker 1: a bunch of psychopaths. They've been shooting at ships in
- 21:51Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormuz. They've been shooting at U.S. military installations.
- 21:55Speaker 1: They've been shooting at their neighboring countries in the Middle East.
- 21:59Speaker 1: And so the president's plan is, well, for now, how
- 22:02Speaker 1: about we just beat you back into submission? Why don't
- 22:04Speaker 1: we do that? But it's funny because in light of
- 22:07Speaker 1: the fact that the president has decided to put some
- 22:10Speaker 1: more muscle into this in just the last two days,
- 22:13Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Iran is calling back and they're
- 22:16Speaker 1: begging President Trump to make a deal again. Cut nine.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Watch the president explain.
- 22:24Speaker 5: We're going to hit him 20. And we did it
- 22:26Speaker 5: last night.
- 22:28Speaker 8: It did a little something today, but it was really
- 22:31Speaker 8: retribution for last night.
- 22:32Speaker 5: They hit actually three votes, not two. But we hit
- 22:37Speaker 5: back much harder. Are we returning to a full-scale military conflict, sir?
- 22:41Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know.
- 22:43Speaker 8: We're winning very quickly. It's another way of doing it.
- 22:45Speaker 8: We have many ways we can win. But we've already
- 22:48Speaker 8: won militarily. They have very little left. And they want
- 22:52Speaker 8: to make a deal so badly. They called a little
- 22:55Speaker 8: while ago. They want to make a deal so badly.
- 22:57Speaker 8: I just don't know if.
- 22:58Speaker 5: They're worthy of making a deal. I don't know that
- 23:00Speaker 5: they're going to honor the deal. That's the problem.
- 23:02Speaker 7: If they want to make a deal, why do you
- 23:04Speaker 7: think they attacked commercial vessels?
- 23:07Speaker 8: Because they're sort of crazy, to be honest with you.
- 23:12Speaker 8: They're sort of crazy. They're a little bit out of control,
- 23:15Speaker 8: but they want to make a deal.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Badly. Why do they keep acting like crazy people? Because
- 23:25Speaker 1: they're sort of crazy. They're loco. The president said they're
- 23:29Speaker 1: loco yesterday. And it's just... These idiots, they're... They are
- 23:36Speaker 1: staring a gift horse in the mouth. The president is
- 23:39Speaker 1: offering the greatest opportunity ever. And they want to act
- 23:43Speaker 1: like the theocratic terrorists that they are. Well, then the
- 23:46Speaker 1: president's going to smack them back into submission. So a
- 23:49Speaker 1: lot of smacking going on. The Iranians begging to make
- 23:52Speaker 1: a deal. We'll see what the president does with this next.
- 23:54Speaker 1: But again, this is why I've been saying throughout this process, like, hey,
- 23:57Speaker 1: trust the guy to handle it. He knows what he's doing.
- 23:59Speaker 1: He does not trust them. He knows that he's got
- 24:03Speaker 1: to keep on using pain and leverage in negotiation. It's
- 24:08Speaker 1: all going in fits and starts. But the president is
- 24:10Speaker 1: trying to forge a new path. How many administrations have
- 24:13Speaker 1: tried a million different strategies that have all been utter
- 24:16Speaker 1: failures with Iran? This guy's trying something different. And as always,
- 24:21Speaker 1: let him cook. I think he's got this together. We'll
- 24:25Speaker 1: see how it goes. But the Iranians... please, please make
- 24:28Speaker 1: a deal. And the president's like, eh, I think I'm
- 24:29Speaker 1: going to smack you around at least for a few
- 24:31Speaker 1: more days. So we'll see what happens with that. Now,
- 24:34Speaker 1: that said, the Iranians have made no secret of the
- 24:37Speaker 1: fact that they want to kill the president of the
- 24:40Speaker 1: United States. That's what they have thought of him. Well,
- 24:43Speaker 1: at least the old leadership, they're all dead now, but
- 24:45Speaker 1: perhaps the new leadership too. And the president says, yeah,
- 24:48Speaker 1: that's part of the job. These guys, they definitely want
- 24:52Speaker 1: to take me out. But here's something interesting that happened yesterday.
- 24:56Speaker 1: The president, when leaving Turkey, did not leave on the
- 25:00Speaker 1: new plane that we refer to as Air Force One
- 25:03Speaker 1: when the president is on it, right? He left on
- 25:06Speaker 1: the old plane, the one that has been traditionally considered
- 25:09Speaker 1: Air Force One with the old paint job. Now, why
- 25:12Speaker 1: is that? Why did he leave? He came on the
- 25:14Speaker 1: new one. Why did he leave on the old one? Well,
- 25:16Speaker 1: the president indicated on social media, he said he was
- 25:18Speaker 1: sending the new one ahead to a base in the
- 25:22Speaker 1: United Kingdom so that people there could take a tour
- 25:25Speaker 1: of it and see it. He said that was why
- 25:27Speaker 1: he sent it ahead. But there is some reporting suggesting
- 25:31Speaker 1: that one of the reasons that he left on the
- 25:33Speaker 1: older model is because it may have included some of
- 25:36Speaker 1: the defensive capabilities necessary to handle the incoming threats to
- 25:41Speaker 1: the president of the United States. Now, quite a bit
- 25:44Speaker 1: of this is speculation, but here's what the New York
- 25:46Speaker 1: Times says on the subject from yesterday. A security precaution
- 25:51Speaker 1: led Trump to use the old Air Force One in
- 25:53Speaker 1: leaving Turkey. By the way, again, just to be clear,
- 25:56Speaker 1: whatever plane the president is on is considered Air Force One.
- 25:59Speaker 1: So it's a little weird to say old Air Force One,
- 26:00Speaker 1: but it helps people understand it. President Trump flew out
- 26:03Speaker 1: of Turkey Wednesday night on the old Air Force One
- 26:05Speaker 1: instead of his new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 as a security
- 26:09Speaker 1: precaution related to the resumption of hostilities with Iran, according
- 26:13Speaker 1: to people briefed on the plans, who said the change
- 26:15Speaker 1: came at the urging of the Secret Service. The swap
- 26:17Speaker 1: deepens questions about whether the new plane, which the president
- 26:21Speaker 1: had pressed to be ready as soon as possible, was
- 26:23Speaker 1: retrofitted with sufficient security measures over the last year. Lawmakers
- 26:27Speaker 1: and some officials have raised concerns about whether the expedited
- 26:30Speaker 1: timeline allows for the addition of an advanced missile defense
- 26:33Speaker 1: system and other modifications used to protect the president. In
- 26:37Speaker 1: a statement, Stephen Chung, the White House comms director, we
- 26:40Speaker 1: love Stephen Chung, he's hilarious, He said that, quote, the
- 26:43Speaker 1: new Air Force One is a state of the art
- 26:44Speaker 1: aircraft that has been fitted with high level security protocols
- 26:48Speaker 1: that ensure the safety of the president and his staff.
- 26:51Speaker 1: As the president has said recently, there are many enemies
- 26:53Speaker 1: of America who have their sights on him. And we
- 26:57Speaker 1: use every tool at our disposal, including distraction and misdirection
- 27:02Speaker 1: to address those threats. The Times claims that people who
- 27:07Speaker 1: know about this, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said
- 27:11Speaker 1: the new plane doesn't have all of the features of
- 27:13Speaker 1: the older plane. The switch was a precautionary measure made
- 27:17Speaker 1: at the advice of the Secret Service and not because
- 27:19Speaker 1: of a specific threat, they said.
- 27:22Speaker 5: Okay.
- 27:23Speaker 1: In fact, this subject came up yesterday in a number
- 27:27Speaker 1: of ways on Air Force One with the president. Part
- 27:32Speaker 1: of this is because Trump officials had reportedly told reporters
- 27:37Speaker 1: to draw the shades of when they left Turkey, closed
- 27:41Speaker 1: the shades. Now, presumably the reason they want them to
- 27:43Speaker 1: draw the shades is not to preclude them from having
- 27:46Speaker 1: visibility of where they're going, but because they don't want
- 27:49Speaker 1: light pouring out of the windows of the plane and
- 27:51Speaker 1: creating a visible marker for where the plane is in midair.
- 27:56Speaker 1: And so a reporter did ask the president about this yesterday.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Why did they ask us to draw the shades? Here
- 28:03Speaker 1: is the president yesterday, cut 11, explaining.
- 28:08Speaker 8: Dangerous way because of the sleazebags that we have to
- 28:11Speaker 8: deal with.
- 28:11Speaker 5: The same thing that Iran was possibly thinking.
- 28:14Speaker 8: Well, I mean, if they ask you to close your windows,
- 28:16Speaker 8: probably they feel that way.
- 28:17Speaker 5: They didn't ask me to close mine, but if they did,
- 28:19Speaker 5: I would have done it. These are sick people. So
- 28:23Speaker 5: I could see something like that. I didn't know they
- 28:25Speaker 5: did that, but I could see something. Were you aware
- 28:27Speaker 5: of any credible threat by Iran against Air Force One? Well,
- 28:30Speaker 5: I have a threat all the time. I'm number one
- 28:32Speaker 5: on their list before you. But if I go, you go.
- 28:36Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 28:37Speaker 5: So perhaps someday you want to change professions.
- 28:43Speaker 1: This is a dangerous job that I'm doing. You don't
- 28:46Speaker 1: want to get caught up in the crossfire. He's telling
- 28:48Speaker 1: people maybe you should change professions. He did say yesterday,
- 28:51Speaker 1: he's like, man, this is one of the most dangerous
- 28:52Speaker 1: jobs on the planet. You know, sometimes he goes over
- 28:55Speaker 1: the data. And he starts assessing. He's like, well, there
- 28:58Speaker 1: haven't been that many presidents. I'm the 47th and the
- 29:01Speaker 1: 45th president of the United States. A number of them
- 29:03Speaker 1: have been assassinated. Others have been shot and survived like
- 29:07Speaker 1: yours truly, the president would say. And yeah, it's a
- 29:12Speaker 1: dangerous job. It's an unusually dangerous job, but I'm doing
- 29:16Speaker 1: it anyway because I love the country. He's like, but
- 29:19Speaker 1: just so you know, you're traveling with me. You're at risk, too.
- 29:23Speaker 1: He's right about that. As candid as he is, it's
- 29:25Speaker 1: almost amusing to hear him say it. It is true
- 29:27Speaker 1: that anybody traveling with him is in some degree of peril.
- 29:30Speaker 1: I mean, the reality is that reporters who have been
- 29:33Speaker 1: following the president for years, many of them were there
- 29:36Speaker 1: in Butler as the bullets were flying. You know, Cory
- 29:39Speaker 1: Comparator was killed in that attack, in that assassination attempt.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Others were injured. And so, yeah, no, it can be
- 29:47Speaker 1: dangerous to be even around the president, given all the
- 29:49Speaker 1: threats that are directed at him and the violence, especially
- 29:54Speaker 1: of the terrorists and the left in the United States.
- 29:57Speaker 1: So it's a dangerous job. But It's you know, it's
- 30:00Speaker 1: I think it's worth covering the president of the United States.
- 30:02Speaker 1: And I'm very grateful that he is, you know, fighting
- 30:04Speaker 1: for our country. I really I really am. More on
- 30:07Speaker 1: that NATO summit in just a moment. And then, of course,
- 30:09Speaker 1: I want to tell you about all of the fraud
- 30:11Speaker 1: that we're tackling in the United States. We have a
- 30:13Speaker 1: great guest coming up from the Department of Labor, the
- 30:15Speaker 1: inspector general there who is all over this. We'll get
- 30:20Speaker 1: to those details coming up on this edition. Vince, so
- 30:23Speaker 1: much more to get to. I want to thank two
- 30:25Speaker 1: of our great sponsors that we have supporting the program today.

- 32:45Speaker 1: The NATO summit the president just completed in Turkey was
- 32:49Speaker 1: kind of interesting. So as I talked to you yesterday,
- 32:52Speaker 1: The president was smacking these NATO countries around going, you're deadbeats.
- 32:57Speaker 1: You don't pay your money. You don't come when we call.
- 33:00Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Why are we dealing with all this?
- 33:02Speaker 1: And then he got behind closed doors with these people.
- 33:06Speaker 1: And it's kind of interesting. I think he shook some
- 33:08Speaker 1: apples free from that tree because look, for instance, here's
- 33:12Speaker 1: how he treated Spain earlier in the summit. This is
- 33:15Speaker 1: an amazing moment. Watch cut 12. President Trump not happy
- 33:18Speaker 1: with Spain.
- 33:19Speaker 12: I didn't speak to Spain. Spain is a wasted country.
- 33:22Speaker 12: Because we don't want to do any trade business.
- 33:24Speaker 7: With Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like you to
- 33:26Speaker 7: cut it off.
- 33:27Speaker 12: Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate.
- 33:33Speaker 12: They don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain.
- 33:37Speaker 12: Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits. OK,
- 33:42Speaker 12: we don't want anything to do.
- 33:43Speaker 7: Watch them.
- 33:44Speaker 12: Watch them come running back. Oh, they'll come running back.
- 33:47Speaker 12: They treat this man terribly. And this man's a good man, too.
- 33:51Speaker 5: Great man.
- 33:53Speaker 12: They're lucky they have them. But Spain doesn't agree to anything.
- 33:58Speaker 12: And you shouldn't carry them. I mean, you sort of
- 33:59Speaker 12: automatically carry because you're protecting an area.
- 34:02Speaker 7: So they're there.
- 34:03Speaker 12: So they probably figured they have to protect us, right?
- 34:06Speaker 12: But we don't have to. We don't have to trade
- 34:08Speaker 12: with them. I don't want to do any more trade
- 34:09Speaker 12: with them.
- 34:10Speaker 3: All right?
- 34:10Speaker 7: Take it immediately. Don't even talk to them. They're hopeless.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Just imagine just the president being like, hey, would you
- 34:18Speaker 1: cut an entire country off of trade? Would you do
- 34:20Speaker 1: that for me?
- 34:21Speaker 2: Thanks.
- 34:23Speaker 1: That's the president turning to his staff saying, let's cut
- 34:25Speaker 1: Spain off. Now, this, of course, had a big impact
- 34:27Speaker 1: on Spain. Spain started freaking out yesterday. So Spanish leadership
- 34:31Speaker 1: gets behind closed doors with President Trump, gets on the
- 34:33Speaker 1: phone with all these diplomats from the United States. Says, hey,
- 34:36Speaker 1: wait a second. Hold on a second. Let's let's get
- 34:38Speaker 1: this fixed. I don't want to do this. I don't
- 34:40Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to suffer this. I don't
- 34:41Speaker 1: want that spanking. And you know how you know how
- 34:45Speaker 1: things went very well. By yesterday evening, the president reported back. Yes,
- 34:49Speaker 1: Spain came all the way back today.
- 34:51Speaker 12: Cut 13.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Watch this.
- 34:53Speaker 5: You said you had issues with leaders of Spain, UK. Spain,
- 34:57Speaker 5: I will say I did have issues with Spain. Also Germany.
- 34:59Speaker 5: And I still do. But Spain, they came back all
- 35:02Speaker 5: the way today. Spain was very generous today. And I
- 35:06Speaker 5: told them I'm going to stop trading. What did Spain
- 35:08Speaker 5: do then?
- 35:09Speaker 8: They made, they honored a request for lots of payments.
- 35:16Speaker 5: And if they didn't, we wouldn't even talk to them.
- 35:19Speaker 5: They were very bad.
- 35:19Speaker 8: They behaved very badly, in my opinion. It was great
- 35:23Speaker 8: unity in that room today, the NATO room. It was
- 35:25Speaker 8: pretty much, pretty amazing, actually. There was something very good
- 35:28Speaker 8: about it. I actually wish the press was able to stay. Now,
- 35:33Speaker 8: they may have been different if the press was there,
- 35:35Speaker 8: but there was tremendous unity and togetherness.
- 35:38Speaker 5: It was quite nice.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? So the morning starts with him smacking
- 35:43Speaker 1: Spain around the end, and at the end of the day,
- 35:46Speaker 1: Spain is very compliant now, and they're like, oh, we'll
- 35:48Speaker 1: spend more money on our defense, as we're supposed to
- 35:50Speaker 1: meet these NATO obligations. So the president's had a lot
- 35:54Speaker 1: of success here, a lot of success. In fact, here's
- 35:58Speaker 1: Mark Ruda describing that President Trump is kind of the
- 36:01Speaker 1: only reason that these countries are actually beginning to meet
- 36:03Speaker 1: their obligations. Cut 15. That is important.
- 36:06Speaker 13: I could not do this without you.
- 36:08Speaker 7: It's too bad Biden didn't do it, or Obama.
- 36:10Speaker 13: Hey, but you are here now.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Obama.
- 36:11Speaker 13: And you're N-Trump 45, N-Trump 47. In total, more than $ 1. 2
- 36:15Speaker 13: trillion dollars. I call this the Trump trillion.
- 36:18Speaker 7: No, it's true.
- 36:19Speaker 13: The Trump trillion was extra spent by Canada.
- 36:21Speaker 7: And the Europeans. And I'm not only blaming NATO. They
- 36:24Speaker 7: got a free ride. And not anymore. If Biden had
- 36:27Speaker 7: any brain, which he didn't, he would have said, you
- 36:30Speaker 7: got to pay more. And same with Obama.
- 36:33Speaker 5: Obama.
- 36:34Speaker 7: Bad presidents. But they could have asked. And you would
- 36:36Speaker 7: have done that, too. It would have been, I mean,
- 36:38Speaker 7: who knows? Who knows if they would have done it?
- 36:41Speaker 7: It should have happened years ago. And it couldn't. But
- 36:44Speaker 7: Obama didn't do it. And Biden didn't do it. And frankly,
- 36:47Speaker 7: Bush didn't do it either.
- 36:49Speaker 13: But you did what Eisenhower started trying to do, equalizing
- 36:52Speaker 13: the Europeans.
- 36:52Speaker 7: He tried. Eisenhower tried.
- 36:53Speaker 13: And all the other presidents, none of them were successful.
- 36:56Speaker 13: You're the first one. It's your win. Your win in
- 36:59Speaker 13: the age.
- 36:59Speaker 7: That's why I like him.
- 37:00Speaker 6: And the win now.
- 37:01Speaker 13: This is true. Without you, this would not have happened.
- 37:04Speaker 5: Really great.
- 37:06Speaker 1: It's so funny. The NATO Secretary General laying it on
- 37:09Speaker 1: kind of thick, wasn't he? The great stuff. So that
- 37:11Speaker 1: was the president overseas and back to the United States. Meanwhile,
- 37:17Speaker 1: the vice president of the United States paid a visit
- 37:19Speaker 1: to Milwaukee, Wisconsin yesterday, where he announced more fraud crackdowns. Yeah,
- 37:25Speaker 1: they're going after these fraudsters very aggressively. Vice President Vance
- 37:29Speaker 1: is doing an amazing job. Here he is announcing a
- 37:31Speaker 1: series of investigations and subpoenas involving H-1B visa fraud. Cut 16.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Here's the vice president yesterday.
- 37:40Speaker 9: This is a program, again, there is so much fraud,
- 37:43Speaker 9: or there was so much fraud in the federal government,
- 37:45Speaker 9: we're taking it off of the books. But so much fraud,
- 37:49Speaker 9: I didn't even know this program existed. Okay, so what
- 37:52Speaker 9: is allografts? These are the, you know, skin grafts that
- 37:55Speaker 9: people get when they get a wound or they get
- 37:57Speaker 9: a burn. A very, very important medical procedure. But a
- 38:01Speaker 9: medical procedure that was being radically taken advantage of. So
- 38:06Speaker 9: if you go back to 2019, 2020, 2021, you see
- 38:09Speaker 9: less than a billion dollars is paid for these skin grafts. Again,
- 38:14Speaker 9: these are very important procedures for the people who need them.
- 38:17Speaker 9: What happens under the Biden administration? All of a sudden,
- 38:20Speaker 9: we go from less than a billion dollars spent on
- 38:23Speaker 9: these skin grafts to $ 15 billion in 2025. And actually,
- 38:29Speaker 9: in 2026, the number was supposed to be $ 25 billion.
- 38:35Speaker 9: But because we cut down on fraudulent payments and fraudulent billing,
- 38:40Speaker 9: we saved you $ 25 billion. That number is now well
- 38:43Speaker 9: below a billion dollars today. That's a simple, good government action.
- 38:51Speaker 9: And again, my friends, we want the people who deserve
- 38:54Speaker 9: these treatments, who need these treatments.
- 38:56Speaker 2: To have access to them.
- 38:58Speaker 9: If we spend all your money giving these treatments to
- 39:01Speaker 9: fraudsters instead of giving them to the people who need them,
- 39:05Speaker 9: then those programs aren't going to exist anymore. And I
- 39:09Speaker 9: just have this very, look, we're a generous country. I
- 39:13Speaker 9: love that we're a generous country. My family sometimes benefited
- 39:17Speaker 9: from these programs that ensured that poor children would have
- 39:21Speaker 9: a bite to eat or be able to see a doctor.
- 39:24Speaker 9: I sometimes had a meal because the American people were
- 39:27Speaker 9: generous enough to say that we're not going to let
- 39:30Speaker 9: our young American kids go hungry because their parents can't
- 39:34Speaker 9: afford a bite to eat. I think that's an amazing,
- 39:37Speaker 9: amazing thing about our great country is we're generous enough
- 39:40Speaker 9: to lend a helping hand to our fellow citizens in need.
- 39:44Speaker 9: But when we allow, when your government allows, whether in
- 39:48Speaker 9: the state or the federal level, when we allow that
- 39:51Speaker 9: money that ought by rights go to feed poor children
- 39:55Speaker 9: but instead goes to fraudsters, we destroy the social fabric
- 40:00Speaker 9: of the United States of America. So what I take
- 40:03Speaker 9: very seriously as your vice president, what Derek Van Orden
- 40:06Speaker 9: and Brian Stile take very seriously as your congressional representatives,
- 40:10Speaker 9: and what Donald Trump takes seriously as the president of
- 40:13Speaker 9: the United States, is this sacred promise that it exists
- 40:17Speaker 9: between the government of the United States and its citizens.
- 40:20Speaker 2: That when you pay.
- 40:21Speaker 9: Your tax dollars, it goes to the people who need it,
- 40:25Speaker 9: not to the fraudsters, which is why we're throwing those
- 40:28Speaker 9: fraudsters in prison.
- 40:29Speaker 1: It's exactly where they belong. Yeah, the vice president of
- 40:33Speaker 1: the United States talking about Medicare, Medicaid fraud, all the
- 40:36Speaker 1: theft of tax dollars going on in the United States,
- 40:40Speaker 1: really key stuff. But also announcing these investigations yesterday by
- 40:46Speaker 1: the Department of Labor into H-1B visa fraud. Apparently, there's
- 40:52Speaker 1: a ton of it, a ton of it. And my
- 40:55Speaker 1: next guest is involved in tackling it. He is the
- 40:58Speaker 1: Inspector General of the Labor Department, Anthony D'Esposito, and he
- 41:02Speaker 1: joins us right now. Sir, it is nice to have
- 41:03Speaker 1: you on the show. Thanks for joining me today.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.
- 41:06Speaker 1: Okay, so what do you have going on? What's going
- 41:08Speaker 1: on with H-1Bs right now in the United States?
- 41:10Speaker 2: Apparently a lot.
- 41:11Speaker 14: And apparently there's a lot of people that are taking
- 41:13Speaker 14: advantage of it. And I think President Trump has made
- 41:16Speaker 14: it very clear. You know, he said during his campaign
- 41:19Speaker 14: and throughout this administration that he intends to reign in
- 41:23Speaker 14: the golden age of the American worker. If you look
- 41:25Speaker 14: at the jobs numbers over the last couple of, since
- 41:29Speaker 14: President Trump has taken office, they've been super successful and
- 41:33Speaker 14: increasing jobs. every month and imagine what we can do
- 41:36Speaker 14: if we didn't have foreign labor stealing and fraudulently taking
- 41:43Speaker 14: out the jobs of American people. And that's really what
- 41:46Speaker 14: we're going to focus on. And this wasn't just something
- 41:49Speaker 14: that we thought of out of thin air. There are
- 41:51Speaker 14: people who are sending tips. We have whistleblowers that are
- 41:55Speaker 14: contacting our offices daily. And people have asked me over
- 41:59Speaker 14: the last 24 hours, you know, what changed? Well, what
- 42:02Speaker 14: changed is we have a president and a vice president
- 42:04Speaker 14: who actually want to root out fraud. Don't just use
- 42:07Speaker 14: it on a political campaign. They actually put the money
- 42:11Speaker 14: where their mouth is. And that's exactly what President Trump did.
- 42:14Speaker 14: He established by signing an executive order, this fraud task force,
- 42:18Speaker 14: which I am really honored to be a part of
- 42:21Speaker 14: and to sit on.
- 42:23Speaker 2: And he put Vice President J.D. Vance in charge of it.
- 42:26Speaker 14: And the purpose is to collaborate and really create this
- 42:30Speaker 14: whole government approach.
- 42:31Speaker 2: It's not just about the Department.
- 42:32Speaker 14: Of Labor, but you got HHS, you got small business,
- 42:36Speaker 14: you have CMS with Dr. Oz, you have all these agencies,
- 42:41Speaker 14: and then you have the Department of Justice. And I
- 42:43Speaker 14: talk about the Department of Justice because under Todd Blanch
- 42:46Speaker 14: and Colin McDonald, there's just been such a great working
- 42:52Speaker 14: relationship between my investigators and the prosecutors. And I speak
- 42:56Speaker 14: to my investigators. Before I was a member of Congress
- 42:59Speaker 14: and before I was a local elected official, I was
- 43:01Speaker 14: an NYPD detective. And throughout my career, I conducted hundreds,
- 43:06Speaker 14: if not thousands, of investigations. And one of the things
- 43:09Speaker 14: that always was helpful when you wanted to bring a
- 43:13Speaker 14: case to the finish line was to make sure that
- 43:15Speaker 14: you had a great working relationship between prosecutors and investigators.
- 43:19Speaker 2: And I will tell you that when I speak to
- 43:21Speaker 2: my investigators.
- 43:22Speaker 14: You talk about the time that they had with the
- 43:24Speaker 14: Biden administration and the Biden administration prosecutors, and I guess
- 43:28Speaker 14: they were far too busy focused on weaponizing the justice
- 43:32Speaker 14: system against President Trump and less interested about prosecuting cases
- 43:37Speaker 14: when it comes to fraud. Because my investigators would present
- 43:39Speaker 14: cases and they were told it was just some haphazard threshold.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Oh, today that doesn't meet the threshold. Today that doesn't
- 43:46Speaker 2: meet the threshold.
- 43:47Speaker 14: Now you have a Justice Department And you have a
- 43:50Speaker 14: fraud task force where Vice President Vance has stated very clearly,
- 43:54Speaker 14: there's no fraud too small and there's no fraud too big.
- 43:56Speaker 14: So we're going to tackle it all. And this H-1B
- 43:59Speaker 14: visa stuff is real. And not only is it taking
- 44:02Speaker 14: away American jobs, not only does it have people that
- 44:06Speaker 14: are held hostage and taking their wages away, not only
- 44:09Speaker 14: does it have people involved in human trafficking, but it's
- 44:13Speaker 14: also a danger to our community. And when I read
- 44:16Speaker 14: these whistleblower accounts and these stories, I mean, the amount
- 44:19Speaker 14: of individuals who are working in medical facilities that our
- 44:24Speaker 14: friends and our children, our grandchildren, our nieces and nephews
- 44:27Speaker 14: can go to, that quite frankly, these people are not
- 44:31Speaker 14: only taking the jobs of our friends and neighbors who
- 44:33Speaker 14: have spent 10 years in school to become doctors and nurses,
- 44:38Speaker 14: but they're also providing services that they're not qualified for.
- 44:41Speaker 14: So it's extremely dangerous. So that's the stuff that we're
- 44:45Speaker 14: focused on. And Listen, there's going to be a lot
- 44:47Speaker 14: of upset people, right? Some of the biggest companies that
- 44:49Speaker 14: we probably know of, not just here, not just foreign companies,
- 44:53Speaker 14: but there are some companies here in the United States, too,
- 44:56Speaker 14: that are going to be pretty pissed off when we
- 44:58Speaker 14: start getting these subpoenas back and holding people accountable.
- 45:01Speaker 1: So can you give us an example of what it
- 45:04Speaker 1: means to commit fraud with the H-1B visa program? Because
- 45:08Speaker 1: we understand H-1B is basically importing foreign workers, oftentimes supplanting
- 45:12Speaker 1: American workers entirely. What does it mean to commit fraud
- 45:16Speaker 1: with H-1B?
- 45:17Speaker 14: I think that just like we saw under the Biden
- 45:21Speaker 14: administration with 15 million people coming across the southern border,
- 45:25Speaker 14: when you take away guardrails and when you lack identification
- 45:28Speaker 14: procedures and when you take away the actual, you know,
- 45:33Speaker 14: the reason as to why H-1Bs were put in place.
- 45:37Speaker 2: And that reason was, right, if you had something unique.
- 45:41Speaker 14: To bring to the United States workforce, or if a
- 45:44Speaker 14: company in the United States was having trouble finding workers
- 45:49Speaker 14: to do a specific job that they needed, well, then
- 45:52Speaker 14: the H-1B visa would be granted so that these companies
- 45:56Speaker 14: wouldn't go out of business. The H-1B visa wasn't put
- 45:59Speaker 14: forward so that you could actually staff your entire company
- 46:04Speaker 14: with foreign workers at a much less rate So what
- 46:07Speaker 14: we are going to do is we're going to start
- 46:09Speaker 14: looking through all of these applications, especially the companies who
- 46:14Speaker 14: apply for 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 H-1B visas at a time
- 46:20Speaker 14: and figure out, well, are these people actually unique? Are
- 46:24Speaker 14: they actually, are the companies doing the work that they
- 46:27Speaker 14: need to do to fill the jobs with the American people?
- 46:30Speaker 14: Or is this just an entire fraudulent scam so that
- 46:34Speaker 14: they could pay less wages and so that transnational criminal
- 46:40Speaker 14: organizations or cartels can hold these people hostage in order
- 46:45Speaker 14: for them to do work so they could skim off
- 46:47Speaker 14: their wages. So there's really so much involved here. But
- 46:50Speaker 14: the basics of it is H-1B visas were granted so
- 46:54Speaker 14: that companies can stay in business if they couldn't find
- 46:57Speaker 14: American workers. The fact is, is that you speak to
- 47:00Speaker 14: Americans and Americans want to work. I'm not sure why
- 47:05Speaker 14: they can't find work with these companies who, let's just say,
- 47:09Speaker 14: as an example, you have 10,000 employees and 8,000 of
- 47:12Speaker 14: them are on H-1B visas. I'm not the detective in
- 47:16Speaker 14: this relationship, but that seems kind of fishy to me.
- 47:18Speaker 14: And that's something that we are going to look into
- 47:22Speaker 14: and we're going to uncover. And I have to say
- 47:24Speaker 14: that it is so refreshing to to have this whole
- 47:28Speaker 14: government approach and to have a president and a vice
- 47:31Speaker 14: president and an administration, not only behind you, but cheering
- 47:35Speaker 14: for you and making sure that you have the resources
- 47:37Speaker 14: you need to do the job that you do.
- 47:39Speaker 1: You must have a bunch of companies already pissed off
- 47:41Speaker 1: at you. Do you have tech companies like breaking down
- 47:43Speaker 1: your door right now, angry that you're doing this?
- 47:45Speaker 14: Not yet, but I'm heading back to Long Island tonight.
- 47:47Speaker 14: So we'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted.
- 47:50Speaker 5: Okay.
- 47:50Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 47:50Speaker 1: And I mean, this is, so tell me about the cartels.
- 47:53Speaker 1: What do the cartels have to do with H-1B visas?
- 47:55Speaker 1: How does that work?
- 47:56Speaker 14: So a lot of the, what we've, I shouldn't say
- 47:59Speaker 14: a lot, but what we've identified is because of the
- 48:03Speaker 14: exploitation of these H-1B visas, we have seen that gangs
- 48:10Speaker 14: and cartels and transnational criminal organizations will start getting into
- 48:16Speaker 14: the business of basically smuggling individuals into the country to
- 48:21Speaker 14: hold their H-1B visas hostage. So what happens is they'll
- 48:26Speaker 14: come into the country. They'll say, listen, we have 500 workers.
- 48:30Speaker 14: They process the paperwork. And then if they're getting paid,
- 48:34Speaker 14: I'm just going to use even numbers, they're getting paid
- 48:37Speaker 14: $ 20 an hour.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Well, $ 10 of that has.
- 48:39Speaker 14: To get kicked back to the gang or the cartel
- 48:42Speaker 14: or this criminal enterprise. And then what we also see
- 48:45Speaker 14: is when the H-1B visas run out and the people
- 48:49Speaker 14: are still here in the country, well, now you have
- 48:52Speaker 14: employers who are paying them. And quite frankly, they don't
- 48:55Speaker 14: have to pay them nearly as much as what they
- 48:58Speaker 14: would pay an American worker.
- 48:59Speaker 5: Why?
- 49:00Speaker 14: Because these individuals are deathly afraid of getting shipped back
- 49:03Speaker 14: to the country of origin. So instead of paying them
- 49:06Speaker 14: $ 20 an hour, now they're paying them $ 5 an hour
- 49:08Speaker 14: just to keep them in the country and keep them quiet.
- 49:11Speaker 14: So It is, it is, this is, this investigation is
- 49:14Speaker 14: broad and it's something that's going to expand. And like
- 49:17Speaker 14: I said, we are going to peel back the onion
- 49:20Speaker 14: piece by piece and see what we can come up with.
- 49:23Speaker 14: But I will say this, is that I am blessed
- 49:26Speaker 14: and thankful to have a team of outstanding investigators, outstanding auditors,
- 49:31Speaker 14: outstanding administrators that are.
- 49:34Speaker 2: Fully behind this effort.
- 49:36Speaker 14: And I promised yesterday and I'm going to continue to
- 49:39Speaker 14: promise just as I did when I was an NYPD
- 49:42Speaker 14: homicide detective and I exhausted everything and every lead to
- 49:47Speaker 14: get to the bottom of this is exactly how we're
- 49:50Speaker 14: going to conduct this investigation because it's not just important
- 49:53Speaker 14: for right now for the American people.
- 49:55Speaker 2: It's important for our future. It's important.
- 49:58Speaker 14: And I don't want to sound like a politician because
- 50:00Speaker 14: that's not what I'm trying to do. I truly believe
- 50:02Speaker 14: that changing this and by By creating an America with
- 50:07Speaker 14: less fraud and actually having, you know, my old colleagues
- 50:11Speaker 14: on Capitol Hill put legislation in place that we actually
- 50:14Speaker 14: follow to make sure that fraud doesn't root its nasty
- 50:18Speaker 14: head in years to come. You really have an opportunity
- 50:20Speaker 14: and really one of President Trump's legacies can be to
- 50:25Speaker 14: rid this country of fraud.
- 50:26Speaker 2: And I'm happy to just have a small part of it.
- 50:28Speaker 1: You know, this is such a breath of fresh air
- 50:30Speaker 1: because I remember, I think back during the campaign, there
- 50:32Speaker 1: was some concern raised that somehow the Trump administration would
- 50:35Speaker 1: hand out H-1B visas like candy or something. And then
- 50:38Speaker 1: I've been following the headlines on this and I've noticed
- 50:41Speaker 1: that what's actually happening is that the H-1B visa program
- 50:44Speaker 1: has kind of come to a screeching halt because the
- 50:46Speaker 1: Trump administration is taking a very close look at it
- 50:49Speaker 1: right now in order to ensure that these kinds of
- 50:51Speaker 1: abuses are not happening.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that.
- 50:55Speaker 14: And I guess in these companies that we reference, and
- 51:00Speaker 14: anybody at home can do some Google searches into the
- 51:02Speaker 14: bigger companies. I don't want to identify them. But some
- 51:05Speaker 14: of the bigger companies that have been just the absolute
- 51:08Speaker 14: chatter of everyone about the exploitation of H-1B visas, to
- 51:13Speaker 14: your point, I agree. I think that they have slowed down,
- 51:17Speaker 14: not because they don't want to use cheap labor and
- 51:20Speaker 14: alienate American workers, but because they were probably a little
- 51:24Speaker 14: concerned that this day would come where the investigation was
- 51:28Speaker 14: launched and they'd have to sleep with one eye open
- 51:31Speaker 14: at night.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Yeah, well, now all the jobs gains are going to
- 51:34Speaker 1: native-born Americans again, which is a huge, huge improvement. We
- 51:38Speaker 1: love that. From the Labor Department, Inspector General over there,
- 51:41Speaker 1: Anthony D'Esposito, thank you, sir, for being on this. It
- 51:44Speaker 1: means the world to us. Appreciate you.
- 51:45Speaker 2: Thank you. Look forward to joining you again soon. Stay safe.
- 51:48Speaker 1: I hope you do. Thank you very much. There he is,
- 51:49Speaker 1: Anthony D'Esposito. Glad he's on that. But yeah, he's going
- 51:53Speaker 1: to tick off a lot of companies. This Labor Department
- 51:56Speaker 1: is going to tick off a lot of these companies.
- 51:58Speaker 1: They already are, I guarantee you, by doing this. And
- 52:01Speaker 1: that's great. It's happening to the right people. Because look,
- 52:05Speaker 1: if you've got American workers who are available here in
- 52:07Speaker 1: our system and are looking to get a good paying job,
- 52:11Speaker 1: hire them. Stop underbidding them by exploiting foreign labor, which,
- 52:17Speaker 1: of course, you know, you've had too many people from
- 52:19Speaker 1: both parties for years. who've been interested in keeping this
- 52:23Speaker 1: awful arrangement going at the expense of Americans.
- 52:26Speaker 5: Enough.
- 52:26Speaker 1: We're done with that crap. Good to see the Trump
- 52:29Speaker 1: administration's on it. And to the point I was just
- 52:31Speaker 1: making about H-1Bs, if you go back to January, there
- 52:36Speaker 1: was a great report in the Daily Caller on this subject.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Natalie Sandoval wrote it at the time, talking about, you know,
- 52:45Speaker 1: there was a crackdown going on by the Trump administration
- 52:48Speaker 1: in Minnesota. But she said that a lot of people,
- 52:51Speaker 1: as a result, people are not paying attention to what's
- 52:53Speaker 1: going on with H-1B visas. The Times of India, lots
- 52:57Speaker 1: of Indian H-1B visas out there, no new H-1B stamping
- 53:01Speaker 1: dates seem to be available this calendar year. And new
- 53:05Speaker 1: interview dates are being deferred to 2027.
- 53:09Speaker 8: 2027.
- 53:11Speaker 1: So in other words, a bunch of alerts have been
- 53:14Speaker 1: going out from the Trump administration. And as a result,
- 53:18Speaker 1: H-1Bs have slowed down dramatically. Now, this is great for
- 53:22Speaker 1: American citizens, American workers. A really important development here. I
- 53:27Speaker 1: just wanted to keep an eye on that one. Another
- 53:29Speaker 1: piece of this in terms of just foreigners coming into America,
- 53:32Speaker 1: taking things that belong to Americans.
- 53:35Speaker 7: How about U.S.
- 53:35Speaker 1: Citizenship? How about this birthright citizenship case that the The
- 53:40Speaker 1: United States Supreme Court just decided in error this past week.
- 53:44Speaker 1: They got this one completely wrong as they say that
- 53:47Speaker 1: foreigners should be entitled to U.S. citizenship if they have
- 53:51Speaker 1: a baby here in the United States. Well, you want
- 53:53Speaker 1: to know what the awful poisonous fruit of that would be? Well,
- 53:58Speaker 1: how about this? In Texas, there are hospitals who are
- 54:02Speaker 1: advertising across the border in Mexico now telling Mexicans, hey,
- 54:07Speaker 1: come to the United States and have a baby.
- 54:10Speaker 5: What?
- 54:12Speaker 1: Are you serious? Yeah, that's happening. This is a report here.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Fox News has the data on this. Greg Abbott, the
- 54:19Speaker 1: governor of Texas, has ordered an investigation into a Texas
- 54:23Speaker 1: hospital that was advertising birth packages in Mexico. He says
- 54:28Speaker 1: citizenship is not for sale. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has
- 54:31Speaker 1: ordered an investigation into a Texas hospital Tuesday after it
- 54:35Speaker 1: confirmed to Fox News that it was advertising Spanish language
- 54:38Speaker 1: birth packages in South Texas on billboards in Mexico promoting
- 54:44Speaker 1: child birth services to pregnant foreign nationals near the U.S.-Mexico border.
- 54:50Speaker 1: Mission Regional Medical Center confirmed to Fox that it was
- 54:53Speaker 1: responsible for the advertising campaign, which was promoting deliveries starting
- 54:58Speaker 1: at $ 3, 950 for a natural birth and $ 5, 525 for a
- 55:00Speaker 1: C-section and directed viewers to a website called havemybabyintexas.com, which
- 55:03Speaker 1: has since been taken offline. The billboards also displayed a
- 55:15Speaker 1: telephone number beginning with 001, the country code used to
- 55:19Speaker 1: place calls to the United States from Mexico. And you
- 55:21Speaker 1: can see the image here. This is on the Rumble.com
- 55:24Speaker 1: slash Vince for those of you watching the video version
- 55:26Speaker 1: of the show. We've got the billboard up telling people,
- 55:32Speaker 1: Paquetes de parto en el sur de Texas. I think
- 55:36Speaker 1: I said that right. Have your baby in Texas.
- 55:40Speaker 13: What?
- 55:41Speaker 1: And of course, the implication being, have an American citizen,
- 55:45Speaker 1: have an anchor baby. Come on in. No, don't come
- 55:50Speaker 1: on in. Don't come on in at all. So Texas
- 55:53Speaker 1: is launching an investigation into this. And the president of
- 55:56Speaker 1: the United States has also noticed this. And that formed
- 55:58Speaker 1: the basis of another Truth Social post. The president saying this.
- 56:03Speaker 1: Signs and billboards are being put up all over our
- 56:05Speaker 1: southern border. And Mexico. advertising birthright citizenship with deliveries starting
- 56:14Speaker 1: at 4,000 bucks. Likewise, similar signs are going up all
- 56:17Speaker 1: over our country. Billions of dollars will be illegally made
- 56:20Speaker 1: by this scam with citizenship going to anyone willing to pay.
- 56:24Speaker 1: It will be by far the number one way of
- 56:26Speaker 1: becoming a citizen. And then the entire family will be
- 56:28Speaker 1: allowed to follow. That's called chain migration. Insane. Not sustainable,
- 56:35Speaker 1: says the president. Nobody saw this coming. American citizenship is
- 56:38Speaker 1: not for sale. In fact, that is a crime. And therefore,
- 56:42Speaker 1: the Supreme Court's ruling is wrong. I will be asking
- 56:47Speaker 1: for a rehearing by the United States Supreme Court immediately.
- 56:53Speaker 1: This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don't
- 56:57Speaker 1: change their absolutely insane decision to Thank you for your
- 57:03Speaker 1: attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
- 57:09Speaker 3: Okay.
- 57:10Speaker 1: So the news of this post, in addition to the
- 57:13Speaker 1: president's outrage about, well, well-established outrage on this subject, about
- 57:20Speaker 1: what's happening with these crazy billboards and trying to get
- 57:22Speaker 1: people to have babies in America, is that he's making
- 57:26Speaker 1: an official appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Now,
- 57:28Speaker 1: this is a real thing. It is rarely successful, but
- 57:35Speaker 1: the United States Supreme Court does have an appeal process
- 57:38Speaker 1: for its decisions. And here is fundamentally how this works.
- 57:43Speaker 1: SCOTUS Wire gives us this version of events. It's called
- 57:47Speaker 1: Rule 44. President Trump has indicated the United States will
- 57:52Speaker 1: seek a rehearing of the Supreme Court's ruling on birthright citizenship.
- 57:56Speaker 1: Rule 44 allows 25 days to seek a rehearing. This
- 58:03Speaker 1: would require the support of at least one justice from
- 58:07Speaker 1: the majority opinion, and it is rarely granted. Now, we'll
- 58:14Speaker 1: keep our eyes on this. Again, this might be a
- 58:18Speaker 1: shot in the dark for the President of the United
- 58:20Speaker 1: States to get this done, just to be candid. But
- 58:23Speaker 1: I am curious here, and I'll let the legal eagles
- 58:26Speaker 1: give me the clearest answer on it of all. whether
- 58:29Speaker 1: or not Brett Kavanaugh could be the vehicle by which
- 58:32Speaker 1: we get this back into the court. Because remember, Brett
- 58:36Speaker 1: Kavanaugh agreed with the majority that the president couldn't use
- 58:41Speaker 1: an executive order to banish this because of a statutory impediment,
- 58:46Speaker 1: suggesting that Congress needed to change the law. But he
- 58:49Speaker 1: did not agree with the court. that this was found,
- 58:54Speaker 1: that the birthright citizenship was found as a constitutional matter
- 58:58Speaker 1: in the 14th Amendment, that illegal aliens can just have
- 59:01Speaker 1: American citizen children by virtue of the 14th Amendment. He
- 59:03Speaker 1: didn't agree there. So it could be interesting if Brett
- 59:06Speaker 1: Kavanaugh could be the vehicle for this. But one way
- 59:09Speaker 1: or the other, the president's saying this was an absolute
- 59:12Speaker 1: dumpster fire of a decision. He's right about that. I
- 59:15Speaker 1: am making that official appeal. And God willing, the Supreme
- 59:19Speaker 1: Court takes him up on it. Could be really important
- 59:22Speaker 1: to do that. It would be very important to do that.
- 59:25Speaker 1: So say your prayers there. But A couple of options
- 59:27Speaker 1: in terms of how we resolve this. This is one
- 59:29Speaker 1: of them. The president going to officially make that appeal.
- 59:32Speaker 1: That's the news today. I've got a lot more news
