• 0:09
  Speaker 1: It's 6 Eastern. It's 3 o'clock Pacific.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: This is a president of action.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Coast to coast and around the world from the America
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Out Loud talk radio studios.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: If he says he's serious about something, he means it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk hits trillionaire status thanks to SpaceX. There was
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: a major crackdown on thousands for children being missing. These
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: are the illegal immigrants that have been missing. John Bolton
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: pleaded guilty. There was a baseball game in Washington, D.C.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: among lawmakers. And there are huge decisions coming from SCOTUS
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: before the end of this month. I'm Booker Scott, along
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: with Matt Palumbo. Matt, welcome in. Let's get started. Good
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: to be back. Where do we start here tonight? I
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: think it's pretty simple that we have to start with
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the trillionaire Elon Musk. Unbelievable. Yeah, it's more money.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Than I think you and I expect to make in
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: our lifetimes. So certainly an achievement. Although I realized if
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: you adjust for inflation just back to the pre-Biden inflation,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: he actually only has around $ 500 billion. So he's still
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: got quite a way to go. Only $ 500? Only $ 500,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: basically nothing. Now, it is funny that people like Ro Khanna,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: whose net worth I think is around a quarter of
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: a million dollars, Elizabeth Warren, who is in the tens
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: of millions, and all these other people in Congress who
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: themselves are multi, you know, are deca-millionaires, are complaining that
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: someone else has too much money. So you know America
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: is the wealthiest country in the world when people that
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: have hundreds of millions of dollars think other people are
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: making too much.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The great story that is coming out of this are
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: all the millionaires that Elon Musk has made with SpaceX.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: And I guess we should say that Elon Musk is
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: worth now about $ 1. 1 trillion. That's with Tesla and also
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: SpaceX combined. It's $ 1. 1 trillion. If you look back at
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the wealthiest people right now in the country... Guess where
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Warren Buffett is. Do you have any idea? So he's
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: just under 200.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: The numbers I saw was, I think it's the Larry
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Brin is number two around 300 billion, which means that
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: his net worth is closer to ours than his is
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: to Elon Musk, the second richest guy in the world,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: which is an insane stat. And, you know, I'm glad
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: you mentioned all of his employees that made millions off
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: this because people on the left tend to view wealth
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: as a zero-sum game. And- Listen, SpaceX was valued at
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: a couple hundred billion, obviously still a lot, just a
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: year or two ago. Now it's at two plus trillion.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Did anyone get poor? Is there a single person who
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: got poorer because of the implied valuation of a company
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: went up? The answer obviously is no. And then the
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: liberal rhetoric on billionaires, and I guess their ire is
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: going to now turn to trillionaires. has been, well, no
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: one makes a billion dollars. That's something you have to
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: steal or do something nefarious to earn. And Elon Musk
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: proved that's quite literally not the case. He was sending
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: people into space. He's building electric cars. He's kind of
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: normalized them, made them a mass market thing. He's putting
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: microchips in people's brains to help them. It's all good stuff.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: And it's not as implausible as the left thinks to
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: have that kind of wealth. Obviously, it's extremely difficult. But
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Is it possible to start a company that one day
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: is worth $ 10 billion? Well, yeah, it's been done hundreds
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: of times. Is it possible to start that company and
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: retain 10% ownership of it, which makes you a billionaire? Well, yes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: as long as you don't dilute yourself down below that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's pretty straightforward to become a billionaire. It's
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: just not easy, but it's not something you need to
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: do all this evil, horrible stuff to do. And there's
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: not a single person that's homeless because someone's a billionaire.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: In fact, The liberal rhetoric of, you know, they want
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: you to complain about the homeless so you don't complain
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: about billionaires. I'm thinking, well, the homeless guy might attack
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: me with a needle. Jeff Bezos is going to deliver
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: socks to my front door. Like one of them is
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: quite obviously a bigger threat in my day to day life.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: So their whole rhetoric on this is all delusional. It's
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: politics of envy, ultimately.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Well, Elon, in one day, created 4,400 millionaires. Not bad.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: 400 of them are now worth $ 100 million. And as
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I was saying, and you echoed, it's a great thing,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the employees of this company, that now it's changed their lives.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: And this is great American stories. Here's what it is.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico, took a 28-hour job with
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: them welding back in 2015. And he didn't even know
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: what SpaceX was at the time. The company gave him
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a $ 10, 000 equity grant. Today, it's worth $ 880, 000. Awesome. Trevor
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Heiss' parents, they wanted him to take a stable job
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: with General Electric. And he picked SpaceX instead. He stayed
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: there 12 years, accumulated 100,000 shares at $ 135 opening for
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the IPO there. He was worth $ 13. 5 million today. He's 37, semi-retired.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I think stories like these are fantastic. And that's what
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk did. But when you look at the wealthiest
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: people in the world, Matt, as you were talking about,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: so many of them are tech. You know, you have
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Bezos included. Many are in tech. And Warren Buffett now
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: is way down that list at about $ 145 billion only.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: 145 billion dollars is is that a problem are we
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: are we accumulating too much wealth in the tech sector
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: as we watch this technology explosion take place in america
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and across the world right now well.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: As long as it's not at the expense of anyone
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: else i think it's a fine thing um now obviously
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: if these people are meddling in politics for crazy left-wing
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: causes then it's a problem but um elon musk i
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: guess was probably the first tech billionaire ever so i
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: was about to settle for right-wing causes and he saved
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: the right in terms of of the you know the
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: he's aided us a lot the narrative wars and that
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: i think a lot of people who are not on
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: x slash twitter um don't realize that it's uh to
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: quote the biggest cliche ever it's where the sausage is
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: made and that when they're narrative you see on MSNBC,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: left-wing narrative, MSNBC or CNN, it started somewhere on Twitter
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: most of the time. Someone found something, some journalist said something,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: and then it blew up from there. And before Elon
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Musk was in charge of it, the left were all
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the gatekeepers. So they could throttle stories they didn't want
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: to get a lot of attention. And the most famous
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: example of this was the Hunter Biden laptop story, where
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: if you mentioned it, your account was frozen. You could
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: not share links about it. And then Facebook did the
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: same thing, but has actually since reversed course, kind of
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: done a 180 on their censorship. But a lot of
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: major stories simply never got attention because of that. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I guess to give an example, a more modern example,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Nick Shirley's fraud story. there is a 100% chance that
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: that would have been throttled into oblivion. No, that would
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: have never went viral. No one would have seen it through.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, it got tens of millions of views on X.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: No one would have seen it through that platform. At
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: least maybe it would have gotten a million on YouTube,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: but 50 million is quite a bit more. And there's
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: just tons of, you know, It's nowadays when you see
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: a left wing journalist spread misinformation or a politician spread misinformation,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: they get corrected instantly and mocked into oblivion. That used
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: to never happen before. And the thing, too, is he
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: did not turn X into a right wing Web site.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: It went from being 95 percent far left progressives to
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: about 50 50. Republican, a Democrat. And then, you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the actual far left defected to this site called Blue Sky.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: And so they're fortunately no longer an ex, but it's
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: basically an online insane asylum. If you just want to
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: laugh whenever there's a right wing victory, go to that
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: website and it's the most hysterical reactions ever.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: You'll feel like you're never going to lose again. That
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: investment by Elon Musk in Twitter was, what, $ 43 billion?
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Trump change. It's owned by SpaceX now. So if you
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: own SpaceX stock, you technically own some X. We're going
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: to get into that story that you mentioned there with
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: the fraud and J.D. Vance and Tim Walls. It's coming
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: up a little bit later in this hour. Let me
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: also say to everyone watching on AD American Facebook Live,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: thank you for finding us. We're reading the comments. If
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: you want to leave a comment... please do that. Talk

  Speaker 3: Red Live is on Getter. Thank you for watching there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: And also, you can catch us live on talkred.com on Rumble.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: That's talkred.com on Rumble. So thank you for watching wherever
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you are, and please leave comments. We'll go through there
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: and read those. Let's stay into space. We were talking
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: about SpaceX. Let's go to the UFO files. Matt, does
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: this interest you at all in any way? The UFO stuff?
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, if there are actual aliens, then yes. Well,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: there may be.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the point is, but I was
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: surprised how little attention they got. And to be fair,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: I didn't give them much attention because I figured I'll
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: wait for someone else to find the bombshell in the
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: files and report on them. So I assume there's none
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: unless I'm missing something.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure, but they came out the third
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: tranche of The UFO files from the government came out
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: last week. They're up on the website. And a lot
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: of people do care, Matt, because there have been one
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and a half billion people that have gone to the
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: website already and have checked it out. Let's listen to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and watch Jesse Waters here talk about the UFO files.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: And America can't stop looking. The site has over a
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: billion and a half views.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: We see why. These files are pretty juicy.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Out West, UFOs were spotted near a sensitive national security
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: site back in 2023. Eyewitnesses described seeing orange orbs like this.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: They called it a mother orb and then mother would
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: launch smaller orbs one after the other.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: In Colorado Springs, a former U.S.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: Army intel officer and four members of his unit saw
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: a UFO over the Cheyenne Mountains.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: They said it looked kind of like a potato. Looks
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: just like a potato.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: And was somewhat translucent with a slight shimmer. And in 2008,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: the CIA sent assets to Zimbabwe. They were on high
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: alert after a UFO was supposedly hovering right over their airport.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: The files say lights were rotating under the UFO, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: when it was spotted, the lights changed colors and then
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: quickly flew out of sight.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I don't care about any of this, Matt. Should I?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just don't care about aliens, UFOs, any
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Well, you noticed, and it was even evident in that report,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: but I was going to make this point regardless, it's
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: near military bases and airports where you tend to see
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: these UFO sightings. What's more likely is that aliens just
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: tend to go where our aircraft is anyway? Or is
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: someone like it just seems more likely to me that
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: someone is misinterpreting what they're seeing or not understanding what
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: they're seeing, as opposed to an alien appearing in a
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: way where there's plausible deniability over whether or not it's
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: an alien or a military plane that people haven't seen
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: before or something like that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Let's move on to some serious news here. And this
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: is what Todd Blanche had to say this week. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: don't know, did you keep up with any of this?
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: There was a press conference with Mark Wayne Mullen and
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: the AG Todd Blanche who were talking about the children
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: that are missing. There are 450,000 immigrant children that have
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: been missing. Let's listen to AG Todd Blanche. Acting AG now,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: but he is on his way to being confirmed.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: More than 475,000.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: Unaccompanied children enter the United States during the Biden administration.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: 475,000.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Over 300,000 cannot be accounted for at the end of 2024.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: The way that this happened was typically because the criminals
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: calling themselves sponsors trafficked these children to the border, usually
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: committing fraud to do so, And oftentimes the children were abused, assaulted,
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: and certainly exploited. In some cases, individuals would sponsor multiple children,
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: which required them to lie to government personnel and on
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: government forms, claiming they were close relatives when in fact
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: they were not. They would use fake or stolen identities
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: and make other false claims during the application process in
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: order to obtain custody of the children.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: That's how they went about doing their business. And we
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: knew about this, I think it was 2023, Matt, when
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Tara Rodas, the DHS whistleblower that testified in a congressional
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: hearing that this was going on in an outtake facility,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: intake facility in Southern California. Nothing was done about it
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: for years. And here we finally have some answers to
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: what we knew was going on.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the Biden narrative on the immigration crisis,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: which he obviously didn't consider one, was, oh, it's just
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: people who are looking to work harder, trying to cross
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: the border for a better life, completely overlooking the roles
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: that drug cartels and criminal organizations were playing in it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: As you mentioned with human trafficking, there is a depressing statistic,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: and it was actually the Huffington Post that first reported this,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: that I think it was 70 percent of women that
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: were being trafficked by the cartels were being raped at
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: some point during their journey over. I mean, just really
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: horrible stuff that no one was ever even acknowledging and
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: discussing people coming here illegally.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: And listen, we seal the border.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: That's I mean, by those numbers, hundreds of thousands, if
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: not millions of fewer rapes that are going to occur
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: simply by sealing off the border. So another major accomplishment
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: from Trump. And I don't think that angle really ever
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: gets better. covered, nor does the missing children one.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: It doesn't. And if you go back after the election
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: in 2024, and I had asked anyone in one year,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: if Donald Trump shuts down the border, would that be successful?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Would you be happy? Everybody would. But all the noise
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: of everything else that goes on, we lose sight of
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the fact that Donald Trump effectively shut down the border.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: He has. And that's great news. And it should be
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: something that we continue to put out there because kids
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: are no longer being raped like they were under Joe Biden.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: And when it comes to those 350,000 kids missing, they're
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: not all just missing. They're not all being sex trafficked.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: They're just unaccounted for. And I think Todd Blanch mentioned that,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad he did because that number, that 335,000 number,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: comes from two different HHS reports that came out in
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: 2024 when Biden was the president. One of them was 35,000
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: of those children did not show up for their asylum hearing,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: so they counted them as missing. And then the 295,000
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: or so in the other report said that the Biden
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: administration never even sent them an asylum hearing notice. So
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: they couldn't find them to send a letter. So you
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: combine those two numbers and that's what you have. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: here is DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen in that same
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: press conference talking about this.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: And you start hearing the absolute horrific things that took
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: place underneath the Biden administration under true neglect. at best
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: and criminal at worst, to allow 450,000 kids to go
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: missing throughout this country. President Trump has made it a
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: point to go find these kids. And because of our
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: partnership with HHS and DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, Truly
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: using the best of the best, which the Democrats sometimes
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: want to demonize, because a lot of times.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: This is ICE, this is HSI, this is CBP.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: These individuals that the Democrats seem to want to defund,
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: but because of President Trump, we finally funded them for
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: three years, were able to push and go find these kids.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: We found 146,000 kids so far.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: 146,000 kids.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: It's a start, Matt.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: It's a start there, isn't it?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the logistics of tracking down almost 150,000
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: people is pretty impressive, so good job to them on that. Yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I do wish we would, you know, people would focus
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: more on this than the sort of side issues like
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: the Epstein stuff, which I totally get why people are
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: upset about it, but This is just, you know, obviously
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Epstein was involved in some trafficking, but this is an
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: order of magnitude, you know, probably a thousand to two
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: thousand times worse than that. So not like I'm trying
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: to deflect from that or anything. I think, I mean,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: they're arresting sex offenders at a rate far higher than
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: any other administration. So, you know, the narrative, the pedophile
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: protector narrative is, you know, just absurd in the face
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: of all these other achievements.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: And Mullins mentioned there that the left wants to defund ICE.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: This is what ICE is doing. They're picking up these people,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: the Tren de Argo, which, by the way, we have
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: a story about that we're going to get to in
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: a few minutes. We blew them up over, I guess
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: it was last week. It was earlier in the week,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: but it didn't come out until Friday. We'll get to
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: that in a few minutes. But here are the type
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: of people that ICE is taking off the street. Listen
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: to this story from a local television story. Watch this video.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: of these two Tren de Agua members, gang members, from
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Guatemala that were arrested and what they did.
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: Palm Beach County grand jury has indicted 27-year-old Josue Mendez
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: Salas and 23-year-old Pablo Cabone Mendez on multiple counts of
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: sexual battery on a child under the age of 12.
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: Both men, originally from Guatemala and living in West Palm Beach,
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: were recently arrested after the seven-year-old victim bravely came forward.
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: Investigators say the abuse was not only frequent, but brutal.
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: The child was reportedly sexually abused almost every day and
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: beaten with a belt.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So, Matt, that's why they want to defund ICE there.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't really make any sense. They're really bad
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: people that Joe Biden allowed into the country.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: How many?
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: We really don't know. I have a video we'll get
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: to here in a few minutes with Representative Brandon Gill
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: asking questions about that. Yeah, he is great. He's from Texas.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Dinesh D'Souza's son-in-law. People didn't know that, but that's who
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: he is. We've got a video of him asking questions
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: about that. We really don't know how many people got
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: into this country. 8 million, 12 million, 15 million. Does
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: it really matter? Because none of them should have come
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: in here. None of them should be able to rape
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: young children or kill Lake and Riley. That should have
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: never happened because not one of them should have been
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: in this country, and we need to deport them all.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: That's the way I feel about it.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Don't you want the best for you and your family?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you where you can go do that.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: You can go to beefinitiative.com. That's beefinitiative.com, where they will
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: connect you with a rancher somewhere in your state. And
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: it's more than just making sure you're eating the right
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: things and your family is. It's about America. Let's be honest.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: It is. America's farmers and ranchers are the backbone of
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: this great nation, and now more than ever, supporting local agriculture.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Matters.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: The American Beef Initiative USA is dedicated to strengthening food independence,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: protecting generational farming families, and reconnecting communities with trusted local
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: food sources and food security. This isn't just about beef.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: It's about protecting independence. Go to beefinitiative.com. That's beefinitiative.com. has
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: gone international. They're in Spain. They're all across America. If
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: you remember back during the Biden administration, it was Trend
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: de Argua that went out to Colorado and had apartment complexes,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: were kicking the people that lived in their apartments out
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: so they could take over. They were designated as a
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: domestic terrorist or a terrorist organization. And that allowed for
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump to do what he did with the military
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: last week. And that was go in and kill Nino.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: What was his last name? Guerrero, I believe was his
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: last name. It really doesn't matter. They literally blew up
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: his house and he is gone. Hopefully that makes a
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: difference in the fight against these bad people.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we will kill you is a much
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: more effective message than anything Biden was trotting out there.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Real quick, I want to go back to Tara Rodas.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Do you remember her? She was working for the DHS.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Do you remember her testimony in a congressional hearing? She
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: was talking about how these children from Guatemala were coming
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: in to Southern California. The representative from Congressional District 35
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: in California is Torres, Representative Torres, who happens to be
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: from Guatemala. These children were coming in here, and they
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: came from a specific community village in Guatemala that spoke
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Spanish like none other in the world. Nobody could understand
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: these kids. They were being given to, quote, hosts, unquote,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: which is kind of where we started here with all
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: of this. And then they were just put on airplanes,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: and somebody would pick them up at the airport, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: then those kids end up into sex trafficking. And that's
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: happened with a lot of these kids, hasn't.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It, Matt?
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: I was going to say I don't remember her testimony,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: but now that you described it, I can pretend that
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I remember it. So, yeah, it was a really horrifying testimony. Yeah,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: but nobody believed her. It didn't really matter at the time.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Some of us paid attention to it and tried to
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: shine a light on it. And I know I did
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: three years ago. Mike Cargile, a guy running for Congressional
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: District 35 out in California, he has been shining that
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: light brightly on that intake facility in Southern California for years.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: where all of these kids from Guatemala, they go and
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: then they get disappeared. Where they go when that happens,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: who knows? I mean, politics is ultimately the friend-enemy distinction.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: So are they against things like sex trafficking or sexual assault? Well, yes,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I think everyone is, but they also like illegal aliens,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: and this is harmful to a pro-illegal alien narrative, so
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: it gets ignored. But when it's, you know, they, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know if people remember this, but they, this
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: is around 2010 or so, the Obama administration played a
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: role in fabricating a campus rape epidemic and it was
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: mainly to be able to go target white men in
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: various ways and you know so that's a case where
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: they'll hallucinate a problem to go after people they don't
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: like but when there's a real problem they'll ignore it
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: because it's it involves some groups they do like well let's.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Go to this brandon gill video and audio real quick
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: and hear what he says when he's questioning someone about
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: immigration In this country, here is Representative Brandon Gill of Texas.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you, is it a good thing that our
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: border is secure?
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: I think our border has been secure for quite some time.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Our border was secure during the Biden administration?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: That is your testimony?
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: That's my belief, yeah. That's my opinion.
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: How many illegal aliens came into the country during the
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: Biden administration?
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: Whatever it was, it wasn't the number that Mark Krikorian
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: just cited.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: You don't think it was 10 million?
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: That came out of whole cloth.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It could have been quite a bit higher.
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: Would you agree that there are fewer illegal aliens entering
• 24:00
  Speaker 11: the country now than there were entering during the Biden administration?
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: That isn't an area of my expertise, so I wouldn't
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: agree or.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Disagree with that.
• 24:09
  Speaker 11: You spend a lot of time in the, in the
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: immigration space. You can't tell me whether there are fewer
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: illegal aliens coming into the country now than there were
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: during the Biden administration.
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: I can't, I mean, that is not something like that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: That's an area of my expertise. I've been spending too
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: much time defending civil rights of my neighbors in Los Angeles.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I think that's true.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: The way he ended it up, it, We can tell.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Everybody can tell. There are less coming in now, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: why people in congressional hearings can never be honest and
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: tell the truth or just answer a simple question. I
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: don't know if you happen to see SPLC. leader was
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: a question this week. She took the fifth repeatedly.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Do you see, she was, I think she was asked
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: her name, but the Congressman's like, uh, honestly, I wasn't
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: expecting that one.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: What do you say when you can't, you can't even say, yes,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: that's my name. Yeah.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Which I guess she's committed to the bid at least,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: but I, you know, listen, I think that, you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: for a general person, if you have to speak to
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: the police, uh, You should have a lawyer with you
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: and plead the fifth until you have legal representation just
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: so you don't say anything stupid that implicates you or
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: accidentally gets you in trouble. And you have a right
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: to remain silent. It does not mean you're doing anything wrong.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: That being said, it definitely makes it look like there's
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: something to hide, even if there's nothing. And when you
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: can't even answer certain questions like, what is my name?
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: It does make you look guilty. Like if you can't
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: break character for certain questions and go, OK, I know this,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: but I don't know these or I won't speak on
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: these until I have, you know, X, Y and Z happens.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: You just look guilty. And this is a case where, yes,
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I can say. She is pleading the fifth because she
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: is guilty. Guilty. She's guilty.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: They wouldn't want me on the jury. They probably wouldn't
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: let me on the jury.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Me neither.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I would lie and say I'm totally impartial. I shouldn't
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: have said that. I just disqualified myself.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this is now on tape. People can find it.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: All right. I'm never serving on a jury. Never, ever.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: They'll find this. At least you don't have to serve
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: on a jury. A lot of people don't want to
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: serve on a jury. I think it's important. But I
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: have never in all my years served on a jury.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I got jury duty and they, where I live, it's
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: they pay you $ 5 a day. And the way they
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: got it, that figure was in 1932, they started paying
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: people $ 5 a day and then they never indexed it
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: to inflation. So, so it'd be like 200, 250 bucks
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: today if they indexed it, but I guess they realized.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: We can save 40, 50 times the cost.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: $ 250 a day if you indexed it to today's prices?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Something like $ 250 when I checked it at the time, yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: I would be on the jury every day if they
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: did that. That would be my full-time job. It would be.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I would, too. What about the congressional baseball game? Did
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: you catch that last week? They have been doing this
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: since 1909. It is a fundraiser. And I would remind you,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: this is when Steve Scalise was shot by that nutbag
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Democrat years ago. But this is that same game. They
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: do it every year. And the Republicans are on a roll.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Seven years in a row? Seven years in a row.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And there was a fantastic catch. And I want to
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: play this for you. This is Eric Schmidt. He's the
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: former attorney general from the state of Missouri. He is
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: now the senator there. And this was just an incredible catch.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Watch this Republican senator laying it all on the line
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: for a congressional baseball game that means nothing. Really a
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: prime June night. That one struck to left field, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: what a dive!
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Whoa, what a great play!
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: Eric Smith, amazing catch down the left field line. The
• 27:54
  Speaker 12: Redbirds would be proud of a play like that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Look at the nose.
• 27:58
  Speaker 12: Wow, and he roughed himself up here a little bit
• 28:01
  Speaker 12: when he hit the warning track on the side there. Now,
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: I wonder if Marionette Miller meets the team doctor, might
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: have to come out and bandage.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Him up a little bit. It's a meaningless game, Matt,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: but he bloodied his nose, had to have the team
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: doctor come out there, and what a play. It made
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: the top 10 on ESPN. Yeah, great play there by him.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: I was actually impressed by the athleticism. It's, you know, listen,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: I mean no offense to anyone, but it's a demographic
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: that's not really involved in professional sports, generally speaking.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Great catch. Oh, by the way, the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: World Cup is going on. Matt, I know you're not
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: a big sports fan, but I know you don't, but
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: the World Cup is going on. It's also something that
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I really care nothing about. I just don't, but it
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: is happening. So I think we should mention it at least,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: even though we have no commentary about it, because neither
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: one of us will pay attention to the World Cup
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: while everybody else in the world is. Go USA. Well,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: they've never won a World Cup. Did you know that?
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: This is the year. They are 0-4 ever on the
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: World Cup. Let's move to John Bolton. John Bolton was charged, arrested,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: indicted for stealing classified documents, and he pled guilty last
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: week to one charge, Matt.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously, if he went to trial, it
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: would have been way worse for him unless he got
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: a jury that was sympathetic.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Was he charged in D.C.? Yes, he was.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: OK, so, you know, unfortunately, it's, you know, I think 95,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: 90 to 95 percent of D.C. 's residents voted against Trump,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: whether it be for Harris or a third party or
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: a different candidate. So the jury actually. would be biased
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: in favor of Bolton. And we have seen a number
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: of cases where in left wing cities, the Trump administration's
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: charges are not sticking because there is jury nullification in the.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: left-wing jurors are smart enough to not admit, you know,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: during the questioning about in the vetting process, if they're
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: biased or not, presumably. So I guess a plea deal
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: is the best we were going to get. He's going
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: to be at 2 million bucks at the minimum. So
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: that would practice probably way.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: No prison. We have no shackles. We have no prison time. No,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: it's a fine is what it is. And I think
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: when you compare this to what Joe Biden did when he,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: took classified documents. They were in the Corvette. They were
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: at UPenn Center. They were in his house, in the garage.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: They were all over the place. There was a special prosecutor,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: special investigation. And at the end of that, they said
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: that he did things wrong. He shouldn't have had it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: But he was also too old and too frail, and
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: a jury would never find him guilty. So he gets
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: off without even the $ 2 million fine that John Bolton
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: got here. Bolton, he didn't really take classified information. He
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: wrote down things in a diary that that were classified
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: and then took them. I guess it's the same thing.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: But that's what he got in trouble for. It cost
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: him $ 2 million. Joe Biden does far worse and gets nothing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: And I think that is the frustration with American people.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: There is no equal justice. There is no accountability. And
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: when we get to Minnesota here in a few minutes, maybe, hopefully,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: we can get some when it comes to the fraud
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: in Minnesota. But I think this is a greater concern
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: for the American people, Matt, is the fact that we
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: are not seeing accountability for any of these people. Yeah,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: if you're going to be a criminal, wait until you're 80.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: It's a loophole.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: We could get on a jail-free card apparently. Is that
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: what you learned from this? That was my main takeaway.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I guess good on Biden for not giving Bolton some
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: sort of preemptive pardon or something like that.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe he probably didn't see this coming, nor would he
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: care about Bolton anyway.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Bolton and Trump are not friendly, even though Bolton was
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: in the first Trump administration. He wrote a book from
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the classified information that he wrote down in the diary.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: And that's where all of this is. The left says, well,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: the Trump administration and the DOJ, they're just weaponized going
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: after Trump's enemies. And they say that John Bolton is
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: one of those enemies. To me, it's disappointing that it's
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: a $ 2 million fine. It's more disappointing that Joe Biden
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: was never held responsible for any of the things that
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: he did.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's I guess we'll have to take it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: We can get there. But hopefully at least keep in
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: common another doubling down like the James Comey indictment and
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: all of that. So, you know, at least Blanche is
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: making an effort. And I think he's been an improvement
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: since over his predecessor, at least.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Well, let's go to Minnesota, because J.D. Vance has referred
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Tim Walls and A.G. Keith Allison to the Department of
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Justice to try to investigate them. I don't know that
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: he's referred them for prosecution, but he has said, let's
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: look at it. We should at least look at what's
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: going on in Minnesota. Billions of dollars potentially is what
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: has gone missing through Medicaid. And it went on for
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: a long time, Matt. This really started back in the
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: late 2000 teens. And I guess Tim Walz was afraid
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to be called a racist. So when it was brought
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: to his attention that this was going on by people
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: within his administration, he said nothing and he didn't stop
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: it from happening. I don't know if it's criminal or not.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Do you?
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a way it's basically vote buying is
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: what he was doing, but it's not in a literal
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: sense of I'll give you this cash and you go
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: and vote for me. It's, it's implied. So I'm not
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: entirely sure. He like, can you be charged for aiding
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: and abetting crime by just kind of knowing about it
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: and letting it happen? We're, I guess we're going to
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: find out, but he, It is interesting how Walls' narrative
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: has shifted on this in a relatively short period of time,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: in that when the Nick Shirley video came out, it was, oh,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: it's just right-wing propaganda, blah, blah, blah. He's a clown.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: We don't take this seriously. It's racially motivated. Then not
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: that much time went by before it switched to, you
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: know what? We actually were investigating this fraud the whole
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: time and we're going to keep investigating it. And I'm like, okay, so,
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: so which is it? Does it not exist? And it's
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: a right-wing conspiracy or it's something you knew about and were,
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: I guess, pretending to have previously cared about and now
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: care about even more. So it's just been very inconsistent there.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: I think he realized that no, like it was just
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: so many people had seen the Nick Shirley video and
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: the counter narratives were just not working and it was
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: just lame, the kind of things I was seeing, trying
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: to discredit Nick Shirley. Like the, one of the viral
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: videos I saw was him during an interview where he,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: he didn't, I think he briefly forgot what the word
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: benevolent meant. And then it was like, and then realized
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: what the word meant. And it's like, okay, he had
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: a brain fart for five seconds. Like this is really
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: the extent to which we're going to, we're going to
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: try to discredit the guy is he forgot the definition
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: of a word for, and then realize it was just very,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: very minor grasping at straw stuff. And ultimately none of
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: it really stuck. And his, the Nick, I mean, the
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: thing is too, but Nick Shirley, it's so easy to
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: verify what he was going over. Um, And you could
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: really just walk down a block yourself and look up
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: some place in the cover of fraud.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: It was omnipresent, the fraud. So, yeah.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: And then, too, Walls, within a few weeks of Shirley's
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: video going viral, decided to not run for re-election.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Well, why would that be? So, not that something good
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: is going to happen. And, Matt, this was being investigated
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: years ago. And the Democrats, when Kamala Harris picked Tim Walls,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: They were worried about it because of this being a
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: noose around his neck, because these investigations go back to 2019, 2020.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: They knew this was happening with Medicare, Medicaid, and the
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: other things with the Somalians that was going on there.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Everybody in Minnesota knew it was happening, and they were
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: afraid that if he became the running mate of Kamala Harris,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: that it was going to be a problem. So it
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: was in the news years ago. The light is on
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: it now, and hopefully we get some accountability here. Let's
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: listen to Vice President J.D. Vance here.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: And he kept the money flowing because he didn't want
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: to be called racist.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: That sounds like a crime to me.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Is that a crime?
• 36:01
  Speaker 13: Well, I'm going to let the law determine what's a
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: crime and what's not. We're certainly going to investigate this, Jesse.
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: And I guess now I can make a bit of
• 36:08
  Speaker 13: breaking news because I left the White House to come
• 36:10
  Speaker 13: here to.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Do this interview with you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: And before I did, we actually referred this particular case.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FOR A.
• 36:18
  Speaker 13: FULL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO WHAT
• 36:21
  Speaker 13: THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DID AND MAKE JUDGMENTS OF.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: THE LAW BEFORE ALL THE FACTS ARE IN.
• 36:26
  Speaker 13: BUT HERE'S WHAT'S PARTICULARLY TROUBLING ABOUT THIS TO ME IS, JESSE,
• 36:30
  Speaker 13: YOU HAD PEOPLE WITHIN GOVERNOR WALTZ'S OFFICE WHO WERE SAYING,
• 36:33
  Speaker 13: YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS LOOKS LIKE FRAUD. IT LOOKS LIKE
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: THESE SOMALIAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE DOING SOMETHING THAT'S VERY SHADY
• 36:41
  Speaker 13: AND And then you had people who shut them down,
• 36:43
  Speaker 13: who shut these whistleblowers down and said, you know, you're
• 36:46
  Speaker 13: a racist or you're a xenophobe for asking questions about
• 36:49
  Speaker 13: where taxpayer money is going. What that means to me, Jesse,
• 36:53
  Speaker 13: is that clearly people weren't taking fraud seriously. Whether it
• 36:57
  Speaker 13: rises to the level of a criminal violation, we're going
• 37:00
  Speaker 13: to investigate it.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: And of course, if it does rise to that level,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: we're going to prosecute it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: We have to. And Matt, it's not just Minnesota. It's California.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: We see what's going on with hospices and homelessness out there.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of fraud in every state. And even
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: in the state of Florida where I am, they are
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: finding a lot of waste and corruption and trying to
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: clean that up. And I think we talked about it
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: last week. Can you imagine what could be done with
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: all of that money if we put it into good
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: resources like Social Security, healthcare, reducing healthcare, all of those things.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Lighting the money on fire. At least we get warmth
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: out of it, you know? Get some energy.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: A higher purpose. Yeah, we get some energy out of it.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: And I think most of the fraud is disguised in that,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: you know, it's headline-catching, the Nick Shirley stuff, where money's
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: being siphoned off. We have phantom daycares, phantom healthcare facilities.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: But a lot of it is almost like the sort
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: of mafia tax thing. type of corruption where a city
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: costs $ 500, 000 to build a toilet. Do we really think
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: it costs $ 500, 000 or did it cost? In the tens
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: of thousands of dollars, still somehow a lot. And then
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: the remaining hundreds of thousands was going to pay off
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: all these different people and interests. I think that's the
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: main way it's happening, probably. I mean, I get a
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: lot of it, too, is regulation and bureaucratic inefficiency. But that, again,
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: a lot of it doesn't need to exist. So it's
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: a siphon on productivity and wealth that is, you know,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: the money is still being wasted in either scenario.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: I don't know about you, but the one thing the
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: last five or so years has taught me is that
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of companies
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: and services out there that don't share the foundational values
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: of this country and we the people. And I've spoken
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: to a lot of you about it who share the
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: same concerns, and you wonder where to shop. where to
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: spend your hard-earned money without feeling gross about it. It
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: can be frustrating, but here's the good news. You don't
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: have to do the research yourself and you don't have
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: to tie yourself up in knots any longer because we've
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: done the legwork for you. At mammothnation.com, we have thousands
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: of vetted, freedom-loving, pro-America companies who actually share your values.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: So now the ball's in your court.
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: Keep spending money with companies that frustrate you and then
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: use the proceeds to fund initiatives that are in direct
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: competition with your values or be a part of something better.
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: I think the choice is pretty easy. Come be a
• 39:21

• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Matt, the Supreme Court has a lot of decisions that
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: are going to come out probably before the end of June.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: The session is going to be over. They have heard
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: on these cases, and now we wait for an answer.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: There's some big ones. The first one I think everybody
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: would be interested in is going to be birthright citizenship.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: First day back in the office in 2025, Donald Trump
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: signed an executive order making birthright citizenship illegal. Of course,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: it has been challenged in court. We have heard the
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: oral arguments earlier in the year, and now we wait
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: for that decision. You and I both on the radio show,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: we think that it's probably not going to go in
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's favor, although most of the Supreme Court decisions do.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: The last time I looked, he has won 21 of
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: the 25, but I think we both agreed on the
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: radio show this probably is not going to go the
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: way that most conservatives would want it to go.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think we both have a position of that.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Our legal reasoning and our understanding of the 14th Amendment
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: was that it should be overturned in that I think
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: the main argument is it was intended for free blacks,
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: so their children would become American citizens automatically, and that
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Native Americans could not become citizens in this country or
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: did not become citizens until 1924. So how could birthright
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: citizenship apply to everyone when Native Americans didn't apply to them?
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: That being said, the precedent in all these past cases
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: has been that the 14th Amendment is birthright citizenship for everyone.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: So they are probably going to uphold the precedent. And
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: the betting odds are like 90 plus percent of the
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: court goes against Trump. it's one of these cases where
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: I don't understand how I'm wrong and why they would
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: side that way, but it does seem that's how it works.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's a precedent, Matt. I really do. You
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: go back to 1897, 1898. The precedent's wrong. Well, it
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: could be, and the Supreme Court has the authority to
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: change it, and that's what we'll wait for before the
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: end of June. Will they actually change it? I think
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: I said on the radio show I thought it would
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: be a 7-2 decision. I don't know if you gave
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: it a number, but that's what I'm looking for. That's
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: not what I want, but That's why I believe this
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: court is going to come down on it. There's also
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: another big answer coming out on state laws banning transgender
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: athletes from girls in women's sports. 27 states have enacted
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: laws in recent years that prohibit transgender athletes from competing
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: on girls and women's sports teams, and challenges to that
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: made it to the Supreme Court. And that's another one.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: This has to do with Title IX, if you remember
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: those oral arguments earlier in the year. This is one
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: that really gets the conservatives, you know, there's no reason
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: for men to be or boys to be in girls' sports. Biologically,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: they are not the same.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I could see guys and girls in
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: the same sport in, I don't know, maybe darts and poker.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Besides that, no. You could play pool. Pool.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: We're going to get in trouble. Matt, now we're going
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: to get comments. Now we're going to get comments on
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: the live stream on 80 American Facebook and on Talk
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Red Live on Getter. Here come the comments. But please
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: keep going. We'll get more comments.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: But yeah, and I think it's important, too, when you
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: were doing this. I don't like the term transgender woman.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: I just say man. I don't use the left's language.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: I don't even say biological male. I just say male.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: I just don't want to cede any ground. They've invented
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: a delusion out of thin air, and I'm not going to,
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know, accommodate their language in any way. There's
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: no men and women sports. You're not a transgender woman.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: You're a man who has a mental disorder or wears
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: a dress or lipstick. It does not change anything about
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: your identity.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: I agree, and I think the Supreme Court is. It
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: seems like in the oral arguments that they will appear
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: to uphold those state laws that have made it illegal
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: for that to happen. There was also another Supreme Court
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: decision that will be coming, and that has to do
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: with the firing of Rebecca Slaughter. Do you remember her,
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: the Federal Trade Commission person? Donald Trump fired, and she
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: has sued, and it made its way to the Supreme Court,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: and now they wait for that decision. In September, the
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court let Mr. Trump, Donald Trump, fire Slaughter back
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: in 2025 and agreed to decide whether the removal protections
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: for members of the Trade Commission violate the separation of powers.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Also at issue in the case is whether to overrule
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: the 1935 decision in the case of Humphrey's executor versus
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: the United States. So that gets into legal things that
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: you and I, neither one of us can really answer.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: But does the executive branch have the authority to fire
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: someone like Slaughter when she has a 10-year appointment and
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: she isn't finished with it. And I think, ultimately, they
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: will rule that Donald Trump has that authority. Not just
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump, but the executive branch, whether it's Joe Biden
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: or whoever is next.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, I was trying to think of a joke of, like,
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: her case will be slaughtered. It's too lame. I mean,
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: I would lean towards a yes in that there's no
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: such thing as... you know, a term appointment without exceptions,
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: and that if you are a college professor with tenure,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: they can still fire you for certain reasons, even though
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: tenure is supposed to be protection against getting fired forever.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: It's really just for, like, free speech reasons and all that.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: So I think, you know, for the same reason here,
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: if you can justify it, then yes.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Another one in this will be Lisa Cook, if you
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: remember that name. She was a Fed governor, and Trump
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: fired her in a similar fashion, and in the 112-year
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: history of the Fed, the president really hasn't done this.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: I tend to think, and I think the court, whether
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: it's Donald Trump or any other president, they really side
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: with executive power more than they don't. And so this
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: is another one that I believe they will side with
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump on. So, so far, Donald Trump is on
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: a roll, except for you and I both agree that
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: birthright citizenship is probably not going to go his way.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Here's one of the most important, I believe, and This
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: is late-arriving mail-in ballots and the meeting of Election Day.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: That decision is coming. It could have a lot to
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: do with what's going on in California. It could change
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: things for the general election coming up in November in
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: the midterm, depending on what this decision is. Fourteen states
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: and the District of Columbia allow late-arriving mail-in ballots, which
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: is what we're watching in California. Twenty-nine states and D.C.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: at least allow mail-in some military and overseas ballots to
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: be received after election day. And I think that's normal.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: I think most states do, as I said, about 30
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: of them allow late arriving from overseas for military. This
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: is a big decision by SCOTUS that will be coming
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: out before the end of June.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm fine with it for military, but, you know,
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: to have it in the California system, which by design
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: makes elections, takes weeks, um, And then again, too, you
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: have to remember it's California. They're incapable of building anything.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: You look at their infrastructure projects, it's always over budget,
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: under delivered. Nothing is run correctly in California. So I
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: guess to be fair, their elections wouldn't really run well,
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: regardless of all of this. But it doesn't help. And
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: it also, even if there is no fraud, it can
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: very much give the appearance of fraud in that people
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: who submit their ballots late tend to vote a certain way.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: We saw this in the Los Angeles election where They
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: went for the ramen noodles lady over by a pretty
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: decent margin. And a lot of people, it gave them
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: the appearance of fraud, even if there wasn't any. It
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: just looks suspicious when when Republicans are always leading and
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: the mail-in ballots come in on their left leaning. A
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: lot of people are going to consider and say, listen,
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: it only overgoes in one direction.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: And it just it.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: Demoralizes the base and again the asterisk is even if
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: there's no fraud i think it starts a demoralizing effect
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: a lot of republicans are going to conclude that their
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: vote doesn't count and won't vote in the first place
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: so it's bad for us for both those reasons and
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: of course it is obviously very susceptible to fraud as
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: well to point out the obvious.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Well and i think in california and other states they
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: have legalized the fraud through laws that allow ballot harvesting
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: the And so when we look at this and we
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: look at California and all these things that are going on,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: we're like, this is illegal. This is fraud. But in reality,
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: the state has made those their laws. And it's really
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: just an incubator for the nation. If the Democrats and
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: the left gets control of this country, they would want
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: to do that all over the country. We would no
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: longer have a voice in our vote if that happens.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: That's what they've done in the state of California, New York.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: New Jersey is getting close. That's by design. That's what
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: they're wanting to do. And I would like to point
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: out this, and I wrote a piece on that this week,
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: is Spencer Pratt, in reality, I think he won the election.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: And he won it this way. He won Los Angeles,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: he won California, and he won America. Because if this
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: had not happened, no one in America would have cared
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: about the mayoral race in Los Angeles. It's a foregone
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: conclusion that it's going to be a Democrat. Look at
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: the registration of voters. And, you know, I predicted on
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: the radio show, you went against me. I said Spencer
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Pratt wouldn't win. I said that six weeks ago, and
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: you went the other way just being a good guy,
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: being a good conservative that you are.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: The thing about being a contrarian is no one remembers
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: when you're wrong, and when you're right, you look like
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: a genius.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: You hit it out of the park, like Eric Schmidt.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: People that predicted the housing crash in 08, like Michael Burry,
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Peter Schiff, they're both geniuses. They have like 400 predictions
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: that never come true for every big one that comes true.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: And then people go, wow, how did they know? It's crazy.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: So that's what I'm trying to do here. I failed
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: this time, but next time, or maybe one of my
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: next 40 predictions will look.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: So good. Well, and Steve Hilton is going on to
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: the governor's race in California, so that's good news. But
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: try to look at California in that light, that Spencer
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Pratt's loss was actually a win for the republic. We
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: have an opportunity now to show people that this is
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: where we're going. This is what they want to do.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: with this country. And if they get it, and if
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: they do it, none of us will ever have a
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: voice again. And I think it's important that people understand that. Yeah,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: And I know this is the lamest election analysis ever
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: that everyone always makes, but it all comes down to turnout.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it truly does.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: As if it could come out to anything else besides that. But,
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: you know, the second round, you know, whenever there's multi-round
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: voting in an election, there usually is a massive drop-off
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: in the second round.
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: So.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: You know, it depends how to, you know, do people
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: who voted for candidates besides Hilton and Beccara, if I'm
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: pronouncing that right, do they decide, all right, I'm going
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: to redistribute my vote to one of the top two
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: candidates or do they just sit home? And some of
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: that are just going to sit home. So it becomes,
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: do more Republicans who picked a different candidate sit home
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: or more Democrats? And let's hope the Democrats sit home.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: But Matt, what you just said there about turnout, It
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: is so important. I am giving a speech tomorrow night
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: at a Republican club, and that's what I've been talking
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: about locally and with clubs and speeches. You've got to
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: get out and vote. If you look at every election
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: since last November, it's not been good for the Republicans.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: I point to May 19th in Pennsylvania and Georgia where
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: you had open primaries in both of those cases, meaning
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: you go in and you pick the Democrat ballot or
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: you pick the Republican ballot. And in Pennsylvania, you had
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Josh Shapiro running as an incumbent for governor there, got 1.1
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: million votes. The Republican is Stacey Garrity. She got 600,000,
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: also running unopposed. That's 500,000 raw votes. Same day in Georgia,
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: open primary again, 52% of the people grabbed a Democrat ballot,
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: 48% grabbed a Republican. That's four points. That's what's in trouble.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: And if you don't want to have happen in California...
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: to happen all over the country and in your state
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: in the future, you have to go vote. And, you know,
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: the Republicans have to maintain power in the House and
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: also in the Senate. That's how important this upcoming election is.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: In my district, it's NJ11. It was actually formerly Mikey
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Sherrill's district, who is now the governor of New Jersey.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: And it got redistricted. It was formerly like a center-right district.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: After Sherrill won, there was redistricting, and now it's like...
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: Democrat plus four or five, but a woman named Anna
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: Lilia Mejia won it in a special primary not too
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: long ago, and she's like a Democratic Socialist. Now, if
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: you look at the sort of squad types who are
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: all DSA members, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, etc., they're
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: in districts where their PVI score is 20 points or
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: higher in favor of Democrats, meaning there's 20 percentage points
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: more Democrats in their district relative to the national average. So,
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: you know, you have to have a very far left
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: district to get elected. But this is a major exception
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: in that she's a Democratic socialist and she won the
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: 60 40 victory in a Democrat plus five district. So
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: does that mean the electorate is moving far left? Well,
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: here's the thing. An election day, 18 percent of Republicans
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: turned out, 30 percent of Democrats turned out. Independents voted
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: Republican by a small margin. In other words, if Republicans
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: just turned down equal amounts, he would have won. So,
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: you know, if she should have won by, if it
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: was just Democrat versus Republican turnout, she would have won
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: a two to one margin as opposed to 60-40. If
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: Republicans turned down equal amounts, he would have won by
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: a small percentage. But it's, I mean, it's just get
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: off your butts and vote. And listen, I'm not a
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: fan of mail-in voting, but if... It's there, use it.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing, it's there.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: And I mean, I I'm a hypocrite in that I
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: registered for it and forgot to register. So but it's
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: like there have been times, though, where I get the
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: ballot in the mail and it's for an election that
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: I just forgot about.
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, listen, I think nationally we should get
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: away with it.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: But. There are a few elections I would not have
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: voted in if I did not get that ballot in
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: the mail. For general elections, I still go in person
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: and you still can go in person even if you
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: get a mail-in ballot.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: For those, I go in person. But for like these
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: random off.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: you know, season primaries here and there, like in the
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: middle of May, it's okay. I'll, you know, it's good
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: for me. So, you know, if you're someone who does
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: not turn out, if you only go into like general elections,
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: I would say register for mail and voting. And for an,
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: you know, it takes an extra minute out of your
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: day to vote in those off season elections. And, You know,
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: we're always saying, you know, the Democrats are benefiting so
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: much from it.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: Well, we can, too.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: You just register for it. So, again, I'm repeating myself.
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: I wish we didn't have it at all. I'm not
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: a fan of it. But if we're going to have it,
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: you might as well take advantage of it while it's there.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: And harvest ballots, too, in states where it's legal.
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: There is a Republican in my town who got indicted
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: for ballot harvesting, and I was proud of the young man.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Actually, he wasn't young. He was part of the man.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: But when you look at those numbers that you just
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: brought up, 18% Republican turnout there, that is one reason
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: why Donald Trump's endorsements continue to win. It doesn't take
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: much to shift that election. The problem is if you
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: look at that raw vote, election after election from November
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: through now, The Republican turnout is very weak. And if
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: that continues, we're going to be looking at losing the
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: House of Representatives without question. I think the Senate is safe.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: I think Iowa is the key to that. We'll keep
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: an eye on Platner as we get closer to that. But, Matt,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: we are to the end of our hour or our
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: time together. The sandwich of sanity in a politically chaotic world.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
