• 2:38
  Speaker 1: about some breaking news overnight. Let's start with the breaking news.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Georgia special election just concluded in Georgia's 14th congressional district.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That's where Marjorie Taylor Greene was. Marjorie Taylor Greene left
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the United States House of Representatives election to replace her.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of candidates running in this thing yesterday.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And the way it works is it was all Democrats
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and Republicans all running together to And then the top
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: two vote getters in this case, they're now moving to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a runoff election, a runoff election. Those top two vote getters,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that would be Clayton Fuller, the President Trump endorsed Republican candidate,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: heads on to the next round alongside Sean Harris. Sean
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Harris is the Democrat in this race. And the final
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: tally from last night's election is has Sean Harris edging
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: out Clayton Fuller, but that's only because there were a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: lot of Republican candidates involved here. I just want you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to understand the numbers. Yes, Sean Harris has 37.3% of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the vote. Almost every other candidate that fetched votes last night, yesterday,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: were Republicans. Clayton Fuller gets 35% of the vote. Then
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Colton Moore had 11.6% of the vote. And on and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: on and on, you start doing the math, you're adding
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: up all the Republicans here, and you realize the Republican
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: side of the aisle has around 60% of the totals
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for the people who showed up in yesterday's election contest,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: which bodes very well for this runoff election. Coming soon.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So we've got we've got a really interesting and important race,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: but that is that special election going on in Georgia.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Not yet over Republican versus Democrat. Now, Clayton Fuller versus
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Sean Harris. Clayton is the candidate that President Trump supported
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in this race. Georgia voters responding that Congress. that congressional
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: district's voters responding in kind and saying, OK, if he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: your guy, he's our guy. And Clay Fuller moves on.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: President Trump, very excited about the results last night. He
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: said congratulations to Clay Fuller of Georgia's 14th congressional district
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: on getting such a high percentage of the vote with
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: 12 Republicans running. We want to make the next vote
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: too big, too rigged. Clay will be a great congressman.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: He will never let you down. President D.J.T. So the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: quest for reinforcements in the United States House of Representatives
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: continues as we get some breaking news out of Georgia
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: overnight that that race for now settled and heading on
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to a runoff where the Republican expected to do very well,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the president pushing still very hard in that race. If
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you're in that congressional district, don't for a moment settle,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: play like you're behind and get Clayton Fuller across the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: finish line, help bring some back up. to the United
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: States Congress. One more piece of election data for you
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that's kind of fun to look at right now and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: kind of encouraging. I've been talking to you about Virginia
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and the Democrats' desire to steal four congressional seats in Virginia.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: There is an ongoing early election right now in Virginia.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And if you're in Virginia, remember, when you go into
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the ballot box right now, find your polling place, go
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: online to your elections website, When you go to the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: ballot box and you look at the ballot, it's going
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to ask you whether or not you want to, quote,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: restore fairness to elections. That's a lie. Democrats are not
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: restoring fairness to anything. They're attempting to rig the elections.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Vote no. Vote no. And get everybody you know to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: join you in doing that. We've got some updates here.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I just shared an election website here on X. It's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: tracking the data, some fascinating data. In the early vote
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: right now, all of the Republican counties in the state,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: everything not in northern Virginia, but instead the further west
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you go in the state, the early vote totals are very,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: very high right now. Very high. And that's an easy
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: way to see that, whoa, wait a second, Republican early
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: vote turnout is through the roof. And it needs to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: be high. We can't just rely on the first few days.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It's got to be high all the way through April 21st.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Get as many of these Republican votes out as possible
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to stop this election rigging scheme. Barack Obama and Abigail
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Spanberger are trying to steal the entire United States House
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of Representatives right now. And you can actually see if
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you click on if you go to my ex account,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you can get to this link pretty easily. If you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: click through here and you start looking at some of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: these western counties, look at this. Lee County, 125.6%. That's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the early vote totals versus 2025. We're over 100%. You
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: look at Scott County. These are as far west as
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you can go in Virginia, 142%. Dickinson County is over
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: 100% already. Buchanan County, 180%. Tazewell County, 119%. The news
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is good. In other words, the early vote totals, good
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: right now, but we've got to keep in this fight.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You can't for a moment settle on this news. Sometimes
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I hesitate to even share good news about how Republicans
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: are churning out because I don't want to I don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: want to make anybody think that, well, we can just
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: stay home then. I mean, my fellow Republicans have this
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in the bag. No, that's not the way to view this. Meanwhile,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: if you look at some of those northern Virginia counties,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: look at Fairfax County right now, just 54 percent of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the early vote total right now compared to 2025. Much lower.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Loudoun County, which is going to be a mix of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: conservatives and Democrats, it keeps moving to the left, though. 79.2%
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: those early vote totals. So it's a little bit lower
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: right now. So just want to give you some encouragement
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: here that your encouragement is being heard by Virginians. People
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: are responding here, and we may be able to prevent
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: an election rigging operation here. This is why I talk
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: about it so much. I don't want the United States
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: House of Representatives to be stolen. You know, I just
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: want fair elections. I want legitimate elections. That's all we want.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And that's what's happening right now in Virginia. So I'll
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: just give you a quick update on that as we
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: see it right now. Yeah, over 100%. ElflinTV is asking,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: what does that mean, over 100%? Over 100% means that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: right now, at this very time, we are outpacing what
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the early vote totals were in 2025. That's what that means.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It's a comparison to the 2025 vote totals at the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: very same time in the early vote. In other words,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the numbers are very good right now. The numbers are good.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: That's what the number means.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Let's see. A lot more to get to. And by
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the way, Josh, people can hear me. I saw somebody
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in the chat say we've lost video. Maybe that person
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: lost video. Did anyone else lose video? Are we still good? Okay,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: we're still good. All right, good to go. Just want
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to make sure. Always want to make sure. Want to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: make sure this is being heard. Okay, let's talk about fraud.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I've got Save America updates. Hold on for that. We've
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: got big Save America updates. We'll gavel into our meeting
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: on that subject coming up. But first, I want to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: talk about how Nick Shirley and company have worked wonders
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: for our country by exposing all of that fraud going
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: on in Minnesota. It's just been a wonderful exercise in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: citizen journalism. Now the legacy media are playing catch up.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And I know there are some conservatives out there who
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: are kind of mocking all of this and saying, well,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you know, how come you weren't supporting Nick Shirley? And And,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you know, like Nick Shirley already did it. Oh, it's good. Oh,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you're finally showing up. Got it. I got it. Look,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: if I can browbeat the media into actually doing service journalism,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I consider that mission accomplished. That's a really big thing.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to have any backup we can in order
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to have our tax dollars stop being stolen. And that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: brings us to two major legacy media stories just in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the last 24 hours exposing a lot of fraud, a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: lot of fraud. Let's start with CBS. CBS has a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: big report out overnight about what they call ground zero
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in hospice fraud, ground zero in hospice fraud. This consists
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, California. Now we're getting somewhere because California, baby,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you and I both know is the epicenter of stolen
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars. It's run by Democrats. The whole state's in chaos.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It costs a lot of money just to move out
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of the state. That's how desperately people have been trying
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to get away through the years. And they steal a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: lot of taxpayer money there. and CBS news is revealing that, uh,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: there is a massive amounts of hospice fraud going on
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, California. They reviewed the records for these
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: so-called hospice operations. Remember hospice care. It's often, this is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: like end of life care. You know, people, uh, are
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: like beyond medical treatment. They're kind of spending in many cases,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the end of their lives and hospice. That's usually the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: way this is used. And, um, And so there's a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: lot of terminal hospice care. But one of the things
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that CBS has discovered is people are going in and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: being classified as terminal and then they're getting out. They're
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: spending all this time in hospice and then released. And
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: yet taxpayer dollars are flowing to operations that are just
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: taking tons of money. And CBS is going, this is
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: probably fraud. In fact, they revolve around the story they start.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: around the story of a woman called Lynn Ianni. She's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: 69 years old and she's very much in good health.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: She's a pickleball player. She loves pickleball. A lot of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: people love pickleball. You like pickleball, Chad? People like pickleball.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: She plays pickleball and she suffered an injury two years ago,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: they say. And so she sought physical therapy. And when
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: she went, she found out Medicare wouldn't cover it because
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: she was in hospice. She wasn't in hospice. Check out
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this CBS report. The reporter here, Adam Yamaguchi, putting together
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a video on her experience and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: what he's discovered.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: The government thinks this woman is dying in hospice care,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: but she just humiliated me, schooled me on the pickleball court.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: She's definitely not dying. She is a victim, though, of
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: hospice fraud. So hospice fraud costs taxpayers hundreds of millions
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: of dollars every year. California is ground zero. So basically
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: people steal Medicare numbers. They enroll them in hospices and
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: then bill for tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: A lot of these companies are just fronts. So over
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: 700 of the roughly 1800 hospices in LA County triggered
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: multiple red flags for possible fraud. So we went door
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: to door and what we found was empty office spaces,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: piled up mail and not a single healthcare worker in sight.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: There's even a stretch in LA with 500 registered hospice
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: companies within just three miles of each other. In fact,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: there's even a single building with 89 registered hospice companies.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: We wanted to get some answers. Okay, so my name
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: is Adam Yamaguchi and I'm with CBS News and we're
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: doing a story about hospice and we're just trying to
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: understand how and why there's so many hospice agencies in
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: like a small cluster in LA County. Would love to.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Speak with you. I'm sorry?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He's speaking through a door. You have no comment? Okay.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: No comment. Thank you.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Medicare hospice fraud can happen in a few different ways.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Shell companies can buy stolen Medicare numbers on the dark
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: web and then bill the government for services that they
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: don't ever actually provide. Sometimes recruiters will go out into
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: the community and look for seniors and say, hey, we
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: can offer you a bunch of free... groceries, housekeeping, redepends,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: just give me your Medicare number and I'll see what
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: you're eligible for. And then boom, they've, they're off and running.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: They can charge tens of thousands of dollars. And in
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: some cases.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Look, I mean, it's obvious what they're doing is they're
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: getting Medicare numbers from seniors. They're acting like they're going
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to give them some sort of small services. And then
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: they just are using those numbers to establish fake hospice
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: operations and then stealing hundreds of millions, billions of dollars
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: across all of this from the American taxpayer. And so
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: when we talk about the fraud, the level of fraud
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that's going on, it's easily in the hundreds of billions
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of dollars at the very least every year across our country,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: all being stolen by fraudsters who are going in, they're
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: overbilling Medicare and Medicaid, they're stealing a bunch of money.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: And as a result, we've driven up our national debt
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to unbelievable numbers. I mean, for years, we've heard Washington
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: talk in kind of a phantom way about dealing with waste,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. And then D.C. never really does anything
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to address it. And we never really get much of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: an assist from the media who don't spend any time
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: on those stories. In fact, most of the stories they
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: spend time on are trying to invent scandals for Donald
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Trump rather than addressing genuine scandals that are coming at
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the expense of the American taxpayer. So there's the CBS guy, Adam,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: he goes out there and he goes, I love how
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: he's like cursing now too. Does that usually happen on CBS?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Where he's like, oh, we're going to give you a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of shit. I love it. I love it. Stay
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: locked in, Adam. The more you do this, the more
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to celebrate you because I want the media
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: on these stories. I want them finding my money and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: getting it back. That's where I want these guys to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: focus their attention. It's supposed to be service journalism. That is,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that amounts to that. And you heard from CBS recently,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: What they're looking into is the signs of fraud. You
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: ready for the signs of fraud? This is what they
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: consider the signs of fraud. This is what fraud investigators
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: have indicated in the past. Multiple hospices in one building, check.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of this, you'll hear this and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you'll be like, that's what Nick Shirley found. Geographic clustering,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: where they're all located in the same community. Low patient counts,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like they're not actually seeing human beings. High rates of
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: terminally ill patients who are later discharged alive. It's a miracle.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Everybody's just walking out. They were terminally ill when they
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: got here. Now they're free. Excessive billing, of course. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: then staff that's shared across multiple companies. The same medical
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: director going and working with 40 different hospice cares. And
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, how do you even have time to
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: work with 40 different hospice cares? It's a fraud operation
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is what it is. And helpfully here, you'll see CBS,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and I encourage you to check out their reporting on
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: this so you can see some more detail. But like, look,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: they'll show you on a map here, for those of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you at rumble.com slash Vince, there are 1,800 licensed hospices
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: right now in Los Angeles County alone. 1,800? That many
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: people terminally ill in hospice? What's going on here? 1,800 hospices?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's more than six times the national average for the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: county's senior population. And then you dial in a little
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: bit more. And they've got 42% of these companies have
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: multiple indicators that they're fraudulent, according to the CBS review.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Here's more. Nearly 500 of them are all operating inside
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of just a three-mile radius in Los Angeles. Look at this,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I'm on the map here. It keeps
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: guiling in. And you get closer and closer. Look at this.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: There are 137 hospices all along Van Nuys Boulevard alone.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: More than half of them appear to be fraudulent. And
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: then they dial in and they're just going to one building.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Look at this, 89 companies in a single building in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Van Nuys, 72% of them with multiple signs of fraud.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: It's the most extreme case of hospice clustering that CBS found. So,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I see some people in the chat pointing
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: out that J.D. Vance is in charge of ultimately getting
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. I am certain he is
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: working to get to the bottom of this. The Trump
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: administration is all over this particular issue. They're all over it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: In fact, Dr. Oz, who's the head of Center for
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Medicaid and Medicare Services right now, you know Dr. Oz,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: he just went and visited California recently and he put
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: out a video and he traveled to LA exposing that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: there is a lot of hospice fraud going on in
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: LA right now. Here's Dr. Oz explaining, this was just
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, cut to watch. So you can
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: see these are medical buildings.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: They've got Cyrillic writing, Russian Armenian writing, Both sides, there's
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: lots of action, it seems. I don't know how many
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: patients are getting care. But in this four block area
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: in Los Angeles, there are 42 hospices. So either there
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: are a lot of people dying here or you've got
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: a fraudulent activity that is so good that everyone wants
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: to get in on it. I'm in Van Nuys in
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Los Angeles and this boarded up area above my head here,
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: as a big hospice center. There are apparently quite a
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: few hospices around here, 42 within a four block radius.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: And these guys stole $ 16 million. And let's see carefully,
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: the main guy went to jail for two years, stealing
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: $ 16 million, which is a.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Good trade-off for a lot of folks. And if you
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: look at it, it's pretty in the script. There wasn't
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: anyone really in there. They weren't doing any services. They
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: just got an address they could claim was a hospice.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And then they ran the business, claiming people were at
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: home getting services, which they really weren't. What we have
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: learned is there's roughly three and a half billion dollars
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of fraud taking place here in Los Angeles in hospice
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and home care. It's run quite a bit of it
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: by the Russian-Armenian mafia. You notice the lettering and language
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: behind me is of that dialect. And it also highlights
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the fact that this is an organized crime mafia deal
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: where you've got folks who have systemically recruited doctors to
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: write false prescriptions, you know, hundreds of doctors participating. They've
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: got 100,000 patients who they've tricked or paid to give
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: them their beneficiary numbers so they can perpetuate the fraud.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: And then the criminals are just running the whole organization
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: and quickly scurrying away when law enforcement does get around
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: to prosecuting them. Unfortunately, in California, there has not been
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of attention on these problems. That's going to change.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: The US attorney, the FBI, everyone's now focused on the
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: fact that in this state, which has about $ 30 billion
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: worth of home and community-based services, Most of it might
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: be fraudulent. Those are big numbers and we're taking it seriously.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: President's not going to tolerate this anymore.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm so happy we have this team on there,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: on this issue. Could you imagine? It wouldn't, just none
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of this would happen. President Kamala, you think she'd be
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: tackling fraud handled by these Democrat states? Just money, your
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: money being stolen and handed out to various like, you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: like was it mafia groups, immigrant mafia groups? No, she
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be tackling this at all. We have a great
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: team on this. Thank God these guys are out here
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Digging this up. $ 38 trillion in debt? Yeah, we could
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: use some of that money back. We could use a
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: lot of that money back. And we could use a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: lot of people prosecuted. We could use a lot of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: people deported. Trump administration all over that. You've seen them
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: all over in Minnesota, and they said they were going
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to redouble their efforts in California. Dr. Oz and company
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: are there. Now, greasy Gavin Newsom is upset about all
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: of this. He doesn't like that Dr. Oz went into L.A.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to expose all of this. In fact, he accused Dr.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Oz of being racist for doing it because what else
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: do Democrats have? They just accuse people of being racist
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: whenever they're upset that their schemes are being exposed. Here's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom making that accusation right after Dr. Oz visited L.A. Watch,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: cut three.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Dr. Oz.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: Might as well be living in Oz. when he went
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: down attacking the Armenian community just a few days ago.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: A business that's down now 30%. Poor guy, small businessman,
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: running a bakery because he decided to do a little
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: TikTok video or something. Saying they're somehow connected to the
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: mob around hospice. Well, hospice, we've been after that for
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: years and years before Oz was even on the scene. 2021,
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: we did a moratorium on new hospice program, 280.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: We shuddered.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: We've been after this for years and years and years.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: We want an open hand, not a closed fist. We
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: absolutely are here to be a partner to go after waste, fraud,
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: and abuse. I started something called ODI, Office Digital Innovation.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: I did not, my mistake, do it With a chainsaw.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: All right, enough of this guy clowning.
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: Had I done that?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: But the point is, he's saying, oh, we've been all
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: over this issue. No, you haven't. I just played, I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: just showed you the CBS stuff too. I mean, look,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: they're all over this right now. 72 operations inside of
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: one building that have multiple signs of fraud. Yeah, you've
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: been all over it, Greasy. Way to go, buddy. Way
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: to go. Thank God, Dr. Raz, the US attorney, the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: FBI are all over this because you no doubt are
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: on the take from these operations that have been taken
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: from us. as he pretends he's all over it, gets
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: mad at Dr.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Oz.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I'm cheering you, Dr.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Oz.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Get in there and break all of this up. Get
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: our money back, would you? All right, more in a moment.
• 23:13

• 24:38
  Speaker 1: All right, so you can hear Dr.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: Oz.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: He goes in there. You see CBS reporting on the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: unbelievable amounts of fraud. They send the reporter in. They're
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: doing videos now, kind of Nick Shirley-esque. I love that.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I love that. More. Give me more, please. Expose all
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of it. And sure enough, the Wall Street Journal comes
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: flying in with another piece themselves. Here's what they have overnight.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: The boom in autism therapy. We saw this in Minnesota,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: didn't we? Is Medicaid's fastest growing jackpot. They have a
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: whole story this morning. about how there are people out
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: there who suddenly are providing these mystery autism services, and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: they're extracting payments from taxpayers as high as $ 800 an hour.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: They revolve the story around a woman called Megan Mitchell,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: who spoke to the Wall Street Journal for this, as
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: she was trying to defend herself in the midst of
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: all this, but boy, it doesn't look good for her.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: She first launched an autism therapy business in 2019, And
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: they say she took aim at an unlikely source of profit,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Indiana's taxpayer-funded Medicaid program, which is, of course, for the poor.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: In 2023, the state paid her company, which is called
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Peace by Peace Autism Centers, $ 29 million to provide therapy
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: for just 84 patients. $ 29 million. For 84 people, that's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: about $ 340, 000 per child. That's Medicaid money. One year. That
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: amount surpassed what Indiana Medicaid typically spends in a year
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: treating a newly diagnosed lung cancer patient or covering a
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: year of nursing home care. Piece by piece became one
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: of Medicaid's most expensive providers in part by raising its prices,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: triggering reimbursements as high as $ 640 an hour for routine
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: therapy that can be administered by workers with little more
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: than a high school diploma. Yeah, they say in the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: piece that sometimes the therapy involves sitting a child down
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in front of a movie and having them watch Disney's Frozen.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And they're being paid $ 640 an hour by you for
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that therapy, quote unquote. Mitchell said her company complied with
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Indiana's rules and the state never objected to her prices.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: That's one of the problems here, that the states are
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: administering this and they're destroying it. I don't think Indiana
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: really had any oversight or not much, said Mitchell. She
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: bought a series of properties, including a $ 2. 5 million home
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: on Florida's Sanibel Island, beautiful, and a 600,000 waterfront house
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: on the tip of Canoe River in Indiana, while her
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: company's Medicaid billings soared. The piece goes on and it says,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: this is a problem all across the country. It's not
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: just Indiana. It's everywhere. They talk about what's going on
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota. They have found immense fraud operations going on.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: in Maine, Wisconsin, Indiana, Colorado. It's a mess. It's a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: complete mess. But again, the Wall Street Journal jumping in
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: now with some of its own coverage here. One of
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the reasons we know all of this is because the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Trump administration has made public the Medicaid numbers. Remember, I
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: told you on a recent episode, we talked about this,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that they had, for the first time ever, it was
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration who just made a huge list of,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: they put out the full database of Medicaid expenses. So
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you could go in, you could see what companies are
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: getting Medicaid money and what they're billing for. There are
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: billing codes. So you can see specifically what they're billing for.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: And it's just tons of cash going out the door, tons.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And as a result, we've had citizen journalists and legacy
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: media outlets like the Wall Street Journal begin to dig
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: through the data. And what they've identified is massive patterns
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: of fraud It's beautiful what the Trump administration is doing,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and it's very ugly what the data show. But the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: end result of all of this are that people can
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: actually be prosecuted for this. So I saw somebody in
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the chat issue concerned that like, well, what does this matter?
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Nobody's going to be held accountable. I've got good news
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: for you. Lots of people are being held accountable. In
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Minnesota alone, we've seen hundreds of prosecutions, most of this
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: convictions have have been Somalis who've been stealing from the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: American taxpayer. In Los Angeles, you just heard from Dr. Oz,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: they're deploying the FBI to prosecute and then hand over
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to the U.S. attorney for prosecution. Well, the FBI would
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: do the investigation and the arrest. They handed over. to
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the U.S. attorney for prosecution so that these people can
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: be convicted and then either put in jail or just
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: kicked right out of our country, handed off to ICE
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to get them the hell out of our country. And
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Of course, you've got J.D. Vance now tasked directly by
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States to run the fraud operations,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the assault, the attack on the fraudsters nationwide. You think J.D.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Vance is screwing around the United States Marine? He's screwing around.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. The guy's on top of it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And now they've got coming in from the United States
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice, an attorney general who reports directly to
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the vice president, not even to the attorney general, Pam Bondi,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: directly to the vice president. So if you're on team,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: let's see something happen.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: So am I. And so is President Trump. There's no
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: doubt about this. This is not like some game. They're
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: really on it. By the way, you also have government
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: officials who are under active FBI investigation. That includes tampon
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Tim Walz. That includes Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry. That includes
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of the state of Minnesota.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And all of those guys deserve it, undoubtedly. So that's interesting.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I like that the legacy media are jumping in here.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Jumping in here.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: I love this.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jill Miller says it. She's right. Jill says
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: we want our money back, too, not just prosecutions. That's true, Jill. Me, too.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem. A lot of that money, especially in
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: the case of the Somalis, they've already sent it overseas.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: It's like this is like it's gone, spent and gone,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: which is why we have to stop this fraud in
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: its tracks, because we can only recuperate so much. There's
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: only so much we can get back. A lot of
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: it just gets instantly sent away. And so we got
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to move quickly. which is what the Trump administration is
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: up to. One more thing for you. I saw an
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: amazing idea. Tell me if you like this idea. Here
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: it is. This comes to us from a guy called, well,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: he's on X. He just calls himself Quick Thoughts. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: he had a quick thought. And I kind of like
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: this quick thought.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: You ready?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: He said, we really need a government dashboard, a government
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: dashboard that has all of the federal services bundled together.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: When you log into your citizen account, You can see
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: something like, quote, you are currently receiving hospice care. And
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: then every individual person could help detect fraud. Now, this
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: is a very interesting concept. Remember the first story I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: shared with you from CBS, there was a woman playing pickleball.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: She wanted to just get simple physical therapy. She seeks
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: assistance from Medicare for that. And then they tell her, sorry,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: you can't get it because you're in hospice. She's like,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not in a hospice. My identity has been stolen.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I like this idea. Now, I'll think about it some more,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and maybe there are some downsides I'm not anticipating. Every time,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: as Thomas Sowell has said famously, there are no policy solutions,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: only trade-offs. There are always going to be trade-offs. But
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: what if for federal benefits, federal services, there was a
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: place that you could log on to where you could
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: see what you're currently receiving? The IRS currently has all
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: your tax data. It's not the craziest thing in the world.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: that there's a centralized location where you could look at
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: federal data. What if there was a simple dashboard that
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: you could log into, you could use two-factor authentication or
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: something in order to safeguard your identity, but you could
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: go into it each year and you could look at
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: it and say, okay, what federal benefits am I currently receiving?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: In other words, what money's going out the door supposedly
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to me? And You look at it and you're like, OK,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I'm getting my Social Security check or I'm getting my
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: military pension or my disability or whatever it is that
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you receive. And it says I'm in hospice care. Hold up.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not in hospice care. And then what you can
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: do right on the website is report to the federal
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: government that that's not a benefit that you're actually receiving,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: that this is fraud. This is fraud. And alert prosecutors
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to this. It would be an amazing crowdsourcing operation because
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: every individual could safeguard their own identity. I kind of
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: like the concept. Again, if there are downsides, I'd love
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to kind of noodle on them, but this is the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: kind of thinking we need. This is the kind of
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: thinking we need, which is like, what can we do
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: to address this fraud and how can individual citizens get
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: in on the action? I like that people are thinking
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: about it and perhaps we can make this actionable. So
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: thank you, quick thoughts for For having that quick thought,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's a very good one. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: really like that. That gets us in the right direction.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up on the program, we've got to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: talk about the latest on the Save America Act. A
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: lot has developed here in the last 24 hours, including
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: one U.S. senator who's in the absolute fight for his
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: life is now saying it's time for either the speaking
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: filibuster or to change the rules of the Senate to
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: get the Save America Act passed. He's feeling the pressure,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and now he's joining the fight? I'll take it. More
• 34:36

  Speaker 1: if you look back on the price of gold 20
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: years ago, 2006, 20 years ago, just 20, if you
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: were to buy 33 ounces of gold at spot price,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: that would have cost you $ 20, 000, 33 ounces, 20 years ago.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: You know what that same 33 ounces costs now? Over $ 150, 000.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: That's a change. Holy cow. Smart Americans diversify a portion
• 36:46

• 37:41
  Speaker 1: gavel in. I don't always gavel in. We should gavel in.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Ready?
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: We gavel in now to the daily meeting on the
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Save America Act. Producer Jim Verde, who, of course, produces
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the radio show, he just keeps the minutes. He does
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the minutes for us at our meetings every day. on
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: what the developments are for the Save America Act. We've
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: been fighting very hard for this. And I've been giving
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: you updates on it this week, including the fact that
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the United States of America is, everybody in the whole
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: country is all calling the Senate right now. And they're saying,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: would you pass it? We all support it. What about you?
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Where are you on this? And the great thing this
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: week is that we have a huge alliance with the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: president of the United States in place. He says, I
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: don't want any more legislation to hit my desk until
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the Save America Act does. I'm done with that shit.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I need the Save America Act, is what the president said.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: And then he also said that we need to do
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: this by any means necessary. Let's use the speaking filibuster.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Let's get this thing to the floor of the Senate
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: and let's get it passed. Well, this has created a
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: massive headache for Senate leadership. They did not want to
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: do this. It's pretty obvious since the very beginning. They
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: were trying to figure out a way to get past this.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: They didn't want the president to have his attention on this.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: The president himself even said this week, one of the
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: reasons he cares so much about this is not just
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the integrity of our elections, but anytime he goes out
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: on the road and he talks to the base, everybody's
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: saying the same thing.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: President, we need the Save America Act. We need it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: And he hears you loud and clear. So where's the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Senate right now? Well, the unfortunate news today, or at
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: least for now, I mean, maybe you can take it
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: as interesting news because we've got them sweating, but It's annoying.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: John Thune is attempting to surrender right now on the
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Save America Act and not surrender to you.
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: He's.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Trying to give up the fight to get it passed.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: And he's claiming there's nothing he can do about the
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: math in the Senate. Listen as he talks to the
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: media yesterday. Cut four. And as you listen to this,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you're going to hear what sounds like a dispassionate play-by-play announcer,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a guy who's merely observing what's going on and has
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: no role in leadership whatsoever, as if he has no
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: ability to twist arms or get people to support this
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: noble cause. Listen to John Thune abdicate responsibility yesterday. Do
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: you run a risk of being on the wrong side
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: of President Trump and your resistance to do this talking filibuster,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: tying the senator in knots for weeks?
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: We don't have the votes either to proceed, get on
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: a talking filibuster, nor a sustained one if we got
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: on it. But that is just a function of math.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: And there isn't anything I can do about that. I mean,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I understand the president's got to. passion to see this
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: issue addressed, as we all do.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Does he understand that, though?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Well, we've conveyed that to him, but we'll continue to
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: make that argument because I think it's important that everybody
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: understand that this really is about the votes.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: It's about the math.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: For better or worse, I'm the one who has to
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: be a clear-eyed realist about what we can achieve here.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And so we'll continue to convey that.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: And I think that we're going to have a fight
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: on the floor. We're going to vote on this. We're
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: going to put it out. And we'll give the Democrats
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: the opportunity to cast their vote on whether or not
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: they think noncitizens ought to vote in American elections. And
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: so that debate will happen. But like I said, I
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: can guarantee the debate. I can guarantee a vote. I
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: just can't guarantee an outcome.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: There isn't anything I can do about it, says, who
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: is that again? Oh, the leader of the United States Senate. Wait,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: hold on a second. Who's the leader around here?
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: It's you.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: You're the leader. What are leaders supposed to do? You're
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: not sitting around just taking attendance. Your job is to
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: convince your conference to join you in noble legislative pursuits.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Why aren't you doing it? Why am I not hearing
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: words coming out of your mouth like I'm trying to
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: convince my conference to join this mission? I'm doing everything
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I can to get them across the finish line. If
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the answer at the end of it is that they're
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: still being stubborn jackasses, well, then just start revealing what
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: their names are so that we can get rid of
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: them and replace them. But to sit around and act
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: like he literally said there's nothing I can do about it.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: And then as he was talking to Fox's Chad Pergram there,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: he said, patronizes the president of the United States. He
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: makes it seem like, well, I'm trying to explain to
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: him what he doesn't understand, which is that there's just
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: no way we can do what you want us to do. Oh,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: so the president is just ignorant? Is that what you're saying?
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: The president's too stupid to realize how this all works,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: what the Senate is capable of? No, the president knows
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: exactly what's possible here. And the president has actually treated
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: John Thune very, very nice. given Thune's failure to do
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: what he's supposed to do, which is to lead his
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: conference in the direction of the president's agenda. What do
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the American people vote for? Why do we send President
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Trump in? Why do we give Republicans a majority in
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the Senate? Why do we give them a majority in
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: the House? It's to achieve things that actually matter to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the American people. And in this case, that involves safeguarding
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: the process by which we choose our leadership. this is
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: not hard. This is the most common sense thing ever.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: It's being described as an 85-15 issue across the country.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: That's because the polling shows that this legislation is wildly popular.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't take a root canal to get members of
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Congress to show up to vote for this. It's insane
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: to me. And yet here we are. Here we are again.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: In the same week that John Thune is accusing you
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: of being a part of some sort of paid influencer
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: ecosystem for supporting it, meanwhile, too many members of the
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Senate are actually on the take to remain so corrupt
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: that they won't safeguard our elections, which is what's actually
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: going on. Thune was also asked about not just President
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Trump being ignorant of the process. He was asked about
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the MAGA base as well. Some reporter asked him about
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the MAGA base, us, having an unrealistic expectation here. And
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: then John Thune spins this into something that it's not.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: He said that we expect Democrat votes. Listen to him
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: as he moves the goalposts on the argument. I don't
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: want Democrat votes. I mean, I want them, but I'm
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: not expecting them at all. I want just Republicans to
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: vote for this thing. That's what I'm asking for. Listen
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: to John Thune change the terms of the debate. Cut five.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: I think there are a lot of there are a
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: lot of optimistic views about what Democrats may or may
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: not do. We all know because we deal with them
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: every day. that the Democrats are not all of a
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: sudden going to decide that this is something they want
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: to be for.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: We're not even asking for that.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Again, I mean, I think you have a lot of
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: optimists out there, and I appreciate that, and a lot
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: of passion and energy behind getting an outcome here. But
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: getting an outcome would require Democrat votes. And, you know,
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: we'll give them a chance. Like I said, they'll have
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: that opportunity to vote one way or the other on this.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: But I would be very, very surprised.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Does it make it more difficult?
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: It's it's the whole thing is so crazy. So the
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: White House responded to this yesterday. Caroline Leavitt stepped up
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: to the microphone. One of the reporters asked her about this.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: John Thune says it's not possible. It just can't be done.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: There's no math to support this. And Caroline Leavitt said, look,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: the president's been really clear about what he wants. This
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: has to happen and you've got to do it by
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: any means necessary. Take a look. Here's sweet Caroline yesterday.
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: Look, I think President Trump, the urgency behind his need
• 45:15
  Speaker 10: to pass the Save America Act and his desire to
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: get this country saving legislation passed. has been made quite clear.
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: He wants all options on the table and he wants
• 45:24
  Speaker 10: the Senate to move as quickly as possible through whatever
• 45:26
  Speaker 10: means necessary.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Through any means necessary, whatever it takes, get this done.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: So what is John Thune up to? Well, John Thune
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: is engaged in misdirection right now. He's engaged in an
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: operation to try and make this whole thing go away.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: In all of the political news outlets this morning in Washington,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: all the congressional news outlets this morning, They're covering how
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the Senate Republicans are trying to figure out a way
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: to get rid of this Save America Act thing. They're
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: done with it. They want to get past it. It's
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: just bugging the hell out of them.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: They're annoyed.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the establishment guys here. And I've got
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: the list. We'll get to the list coming up in
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: a moment. But I just want to tell you what
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: they're planning on doing next week. Here's the plan. David
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Sivak is a reporter over at the Washington Examiner. He
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: got a chance to talk to John Thune yesterday, and
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: he got this assessment from Thune. He said, Thune tells
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: me he's planning to bring the Save America Act to
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: the floor next week. Now, you see that, and you
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: see what it's meant to do. It's meant to be like, oh, wow,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that's encouraging. Thune's going to bring it to the floor
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: next week. And the bad news is what Thune is
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: attempting to do is a show vote, is a stunt.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: He's going to bring it to the floor. They're not
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: going to do it through the speaking filibuster. Democrats won't
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: support it. They'll be like, oh, we didn't get the
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: 60 votes. Oh, well, Democrats don't support this thing. And
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: they'll move on. It's a show vote. In fact, Senator
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: John Hoeven of North Dakota even said this yesterday to
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Punchbowl News. He said this. He said, quote, we want
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: to bring it up and put the Democrats on the
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: record because we think it's very popular with the public.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Democrats on the record. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I've said
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: this before. I'll say it again. I don't need the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Democrats on the record. I know they support open borders.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I know they don't support election integrity. I know that
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: they are perfectly comfortable and, in fact, encouraging about fraud
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: being involved in our elections. I don't need any more
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: votes to demonstrate that. I don't need to take a
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: head count to demonstrate that. That position is crystal clear.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: And you can tell the American people about it. You
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: can get these guys on the record. You can get
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: whatever you want.
• 47:37
  Speaker 11: It's irrelevant.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: This is a stupid exercise. This is a head pat
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: on the base. Brandon Gill, the congressman from Texas, great congressman,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: he echoed what I said. He said, putting Democrats on
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: the record is completely useless. Democrats are already on the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: record opposing the SAVE Act. We don't need to vote
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: for that. We need the Senate to use the talking
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: filibuster to get the bill to the president's desk. Anything
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: less is humiliating failure. Let me repeat that. Humiliating failure.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, We are in the fight right now.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: The Senate is on the verge of bringing this to
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the floor in order to get you to go away.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: So what's your mission? Don't go away. Stay on them.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Stay on them. One more thing about the show vote
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: here that you should know. Politico reports this morning that
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: the show vote is not just to prove the Democrats
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: are support open borders, which of course they do. The
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: show vote is also designed to, let me pull this up.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Politico's being difficult. Let me just hold up a second here.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: It's designed to show Trump that passage of the SAVE
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Act isn't feasible. To hell with Politico, I can't pull
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: it up on my screen. It's to show Trump that
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: passage of the SAVE America Act is not feasible. So
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: once again, John Thune's position is to patronize the president
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: of the United States. Oh, we're going to put it
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: to a floor vote just as a big demonstration for
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: President Trump. It'll be a visual learning situation so the
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: president can watch. it and go, oh, okay, well, I
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: guess we can't have the Save America Act. That's what
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: this is about. It's a stunt. Finally, one element, one
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: other element here in terms of what John Thune's trying
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: to accomplish. Sean Davis, the great Sean Davis, love Sean.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Sean's a fighter. Man, the boy, the guy really cares
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: about our country. He said, I need you to understand
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: what John Thune is doing right now. It's not enough
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: for him to kill the Save America Act. Thune has
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: to kill it while also protecting his worst RINO colleagues
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: from being exposed for opposing it. How does Thune accomplish this?
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: He avoids a simple majority vote at all costs. Thune
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: knows that a public vote where Republicans get less than
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: 50 votes with people like Tillis and Curtis and McConnell
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: and Murkowski all voting against it is electoral poison. By
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: the way, keep those four names in mind. Those four
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: names matter. Tillis, John Curtis of Utah, Mitch McConnell, and Murkowski.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Thune doesn't want it to pass, says Sean Davis, but
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: he also can't have it die at the hands of
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: his own puke colleagues. So how does Thune do this?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: By refusing to move to the already passed House bill.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: By refusing, which would only require a simple majority because
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: the House message is privileged. Under the rules of the Senate,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: we can do this, in other words. And instead of move,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: he's going to be moving to a new standalone Senate bill.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: A new Senate bill is not privileged. And therefore, the
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: motion to proceed to it is debatable, meaning it will
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: require 60 votes. Sean is describing what you're about to
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: see next week. Thune needs to kill the Save America Act,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: not expose any of his GOP colleagues as being against it,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: and be able to pretend that he tried. This is
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: the actual Senate GOP trifecta, doing nothing while pretending they
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: tried everything and then protecting the worst of the worst
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: the whole time. So when you watch the GOP Senate
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: bring up a brand new Save America Act bill and
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: hold a single vote on a motion that needs 60
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: to pass, know that they're doing it because they think
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: you're stupid. So we're all being patronized. Donald Trump's being patronized.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: You're being patronized. I'm being patronized all by Senate leadership
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: in an effort to make us go away and say, look,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: we tried to accomplish the thing you wanted, but it's
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: just not possible. And you're too dumb to know the
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: rules of the Senate to realize that. That's the game plan.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: That's the game plan. Now on this, Senator Bernie Moreno
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: was on television last night with Laura Ingraham, and she
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: was asking all about this. God bless her for it.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: And Bernie Moreno confirmed that there are three to four
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Republican senators who are the real problem here. And he
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: just said, bluntly, I want to tell you what's happening.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Cut eight. Here's Bernie Moreno last night.
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: The entire conference. He can't fire. He didn't hire these people.
• 52:00
  Speaker 11: And unfortunately, though, I'm just going to be blunt. There's
• 52:03
  Speaker 11: three or four Republicans that just won't be part of
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: the team. And they row in their own different direction.
• 52:10
  Speaker 11: And unfortunately, Leader Thune has very little leverage over them. Now,
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: we're working through it. Today, we had a very spirited
• 52:16
  Speaker 11: conversation at lunch. And I think we're getting closer to
• 52:20
  Speaker 11: having people realize how important it is for us to
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: deliver on a fundamental promise, which is to secure our elections.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: For the future.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: So I think we're going to get there.
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: I think we're getting there. And I can tell you,
• 52:31
  Speaker 11: Senator Thune is open.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: To that dialogue.
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: He personally calls some of these senators, but it's very,
• 52:37
  Speaker 11: very difficult where you don't.
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: Have a lot of leverage.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Well, OK, why isn't Thune making that case in public,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: by the way? Why isn't Thune talking about like, hey,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I'm the one who's doing the arm twisting. I'm calling
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: these guys. I'm trying to get them on board with this.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I'm doing everything I can. He's not saying that. Right now,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: he's just acting like I'm just sitting there watching like
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: he's like, you know, Pat Summerhall or something, just doing
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: play by play. Like, oh, you know, look, this guy's
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: going down the field and he's not going to score
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: because the American people are too stupid and know the
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: rules of the Senate. You know, you know what I mean? Like,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: come on.
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: Stop.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I know it was a terrible pass.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: I'm wrong.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: But the point is, he's just kind of pretending like
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: he's some outside objective observer rather than the leader of
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: the United States Senate whose job it is to actually
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: win for us. Hear Bernie Moreno say, I think we're
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: getting closer. I think we're getting closer. Well, that's an
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: encouraging phrase to hear. How much closer? Well, we do
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: have a development overnight that's worth considering. You get this post.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: This one comes to us from John Cornyn. John Cornyn,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: who's in the fight of his life right now in Texas,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: has just written an op-ed for the New York Post.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Out this morning, 6.32 a.m.
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: Eastern.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Why the SAVE Act matters more than the filibuster. Interesting.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: He says, so suddenly now John Cornyn, who is an
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: establishment guy, he's trying to outlast Ken Paxton. He doesn't
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: want President Trump to endorse Paxton. He wants the endorsement
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: from the president, yet the president's holding out in order
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: to get the Save America Act. He said the following.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: He goes, today, Democrats are weaponizing the Senate's rules to
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: block the Save America Act, defund the Department of Homeland Security,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: and hurt the American people, all despite President Trump. But
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: they say openly that if these same rules ever get
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: in Democrats' way, they won't hesitate to rip them up.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: A rule is only a rule if both sides follow it. Okay,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn now starting to sound a little bit more sensible.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: He says, the answer is clear. We need to stand, fight,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: and win. We need to stand, fight, and win. He
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: continues here. It takes a while for him to finally
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: get to it. And he says, after careful consideration, I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: support whatever changes to Senate rules may prove necessary for
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: us to get the Save America Act and Homeland Security
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: funding past the Democrat's obstruction through the Senate and on
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: the president's desk for his signature. This could be a
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: talking filibuster. that removes the obstructionist's free pass and makes
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: them defend their indefensible views on the Senate floor, or
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: it could be a different reform. Process matters, but outcomes
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: matter more. The Democrats' assault on election integrity and national
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: security must be stopped. Leadership means upholding core principles and
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: applying them thoughtfully as circumstances change. It's time for our
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Senate Republican Conference, led by our strong and strategic majority leader,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: John Thune, to retake the initiative, rebuild momentum, and get results.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn would have never written this op-ed were it
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: not for the pressure that Ken Paxton and President Trump
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: have placed on him.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: Never.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: He was perfectly comfortable in his relationship with leadership, perfectly
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: comfortable just drifting back into office on incumbency, despite the
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: fact that plenty of Texas voters are very unhappy with
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn's tenure. You can judge that by the fact
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: that he didn't even get 50% of the vote in
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the primary. That's why he's headed to a runoff with
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Ken Paxton. The pressure is on, and the establishment is
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: feeling it. And John Cornyn just expressed it in a
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: New York Post piece. He's acting like, of course, he's
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: always been on your side, but it took getting him
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: kicking and screaming. We dragged him into this. And that's fun.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like that that's happened, which is
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: very good news. Now, there is a list. I've got
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: the list. You ready? Mark Meadows, the former chief of
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: staff to President Trump, keeps it. Here are all of
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the United States senators right now on supposedly on our
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: side who are still not supporting the speaking filibuster in public.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: This is the big list. John Barrasso is the wimp.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: He's the whip, majority whip. It's his job to get
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: everybody on board, and he doesn't support it? That tells
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: you a lot. It tells you everything. John Boozman, Shelley
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Moore Capito, Susan Collins, Tom Cotton, Kevin Kramer, Mike Crapo,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: John Curtis, Steve Daines, Deb Fisher, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Grassley,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: John Hoven, Jim Justice, John Kennedy, James Langford, Mitch McConnell,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Jerry Moran, Lisa Murkowski, Pete Ricketts, Tim Scott, John Thune,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Thomas Tillis, Roger Wicker, and Todd Young. That's the latest.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: These are the guys who still can't get off their
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: asses and support the speaking filibuster. They're keeping their heads down,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: hoping to outlast this debate until we go away. Don't
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: go away. Keep demanding this. We have to do this
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: for our side. This is for the Republicans. The Democrats
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: are a lost cause. Chuck Schumer is at the making
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: shit up phase of this fight insofar as he's engaged
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: in it at all. Look at Chuck Schumer yesterday talking
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: about the Save America Act. Here's what he said. He
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: just made up a component. He says ICE is involved.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: ICE is a part of the Save America Act, he claims.
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: What?
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: ICE is not part of it at all? And then
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: he says that when ICE gets involved, they'll be able
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to kick, you ready for the number? Tens of billions
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: of people off the voter rolls. Now you do the
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: math while you listen to this clip from Chuck Schumer,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: cut 10, watch.
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: Yes, but their bill isn't voter ID number one. It
• 58:25
  Speaker 9: is about voter registration. It makes it, it allows ICE
• 58:32
  Speaker 9: to kick tens of billions of people off the rolls,
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: off the rolls, and they don't tell them until election day.
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: And you show up and you say, you're not registered anymore.
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: You're not registered here. You're not, on the rolls.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Tens of billions. Now, the bill would, insofar as any
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: kernel of truth contains, is in there anywhere. It doesn't
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: have ICE involved. It would remove non-citizens from voter rolls
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: all across the country. That's a great mission. Get them
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: off the voter rolls. We have to protect the civil
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: rights of Americans. Get non-citizens off of our voter rolls.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be there. That's completely illegal. Chuck
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Schumer wants to keep them there. But tens of billions.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I know you know this, but this
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: is for you, Chuck. Chuck, our nation has just over
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: 300 million people in it. 300 million people. Tens of billions.
• 59:28
  Speaker 11: Ha ha.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Planet Earth doesn't have tens of billions of people. It's
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: so funny. It's so funny. Anyway, that's the stupidity of
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. So we can't rely on Chuck Schumer. It's
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: not going to help us. There's no Democrats going to
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: come rescue us. We need to force Republicans to do this.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: The fight is very much on right now. And what
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: I'll do right now is I'll leave you with these
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: final words of encouragement from a great U.S. senator who
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: is staying in the fight. He's staying cheerful even in
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: the face of all the chaos. Mike Lee of Utah
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: has been wonderful on all of this. He's been educating
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: even his colleagues about the rules of the United States Senate.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Here's Mike Lee's latest message on how tough this fight
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: is and how much he wants you to stay in it.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Cut seven.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: Watch.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: So we're one step closer now to getting the Save
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: America Act on the Senate floor. How exactly that's going
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 5: to happen? Well, we're still working on that. There's a
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: lot of uncertainty and some concern, but we're working on it.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: Important point right now is for us to refocus our
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: energy on making sure we get the best arguments we
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: can possibly put forward on this bill. Now, look, I
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: still believe the very best shot we've got at doing
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: this is invoking the talking filibuster. Make Democrats stand up,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: get recognized and speak out. If they want to filibuster
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: the bill, don't give it to them for free. Don't
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: let them have the benefits of the filibuster while they're
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: napping or on vacation or whatever else it is that
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: they do. Make them actually show up and speak. I'm
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: going to continue to argue for that. Regardless of what
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: Senate Republican leadership thinks, I'm not going to back away
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: for the fact that I think that is the best
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 5: possible chance of passing this bill, perhaps the only way. Regardless,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: we've got to be prepared. for what it is that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: happens when it gets to the floor. So let's continue
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: to advance the arguments for the bill itself and for
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: the strategy that we think is best.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: If not us, who? If not now, when?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: We've got an 85-15 issue that is also critical to
