  Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome to Vince. Good to see you on a Thursday.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Nice to have you with us. We've got a mighty
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: show ahead for you. How's the SAVE Act doing? I'd
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: like an update on that. Well, I know you would too.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We just asked the White House about it. We got
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a big update from Caroline Leavitt and the President of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the United States. I'll share the latest on the SAVE Act.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We'll also talk about what's going on in the United
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: States right now in terms of our elections. The president
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of the United States making a huge announcement yesterday involving
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the Texas Republican primary. And he's getting a lot of
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: feedback from you right now. I'll explore exactly what's happening there.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And then we've got updates on things like crazy murders
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: by illegal aliens in Virginia. Just a lot to get
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to all ahead on this edition of Vince. It's great
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to have you with us. Really, really the best audience anywhere. Truly. Hey,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: let's thank one of our great sponsors, shall we? Let's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: thank Birch Gold for being awesome. You know, through the years,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: there's so many reasons that gold has exploded in value.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Over 700% over the last 20 years, lots of things
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: have happened. International disputes, inflation, rising national debt, digital currency.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: There's a never-ending list of reasons that smart Americans do
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals with
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Birch Gold Group. More than any other commodity on earth,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: gold thrives during uncertainty, which is why it's a crucial
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: part of a balanced strategy. It gives you peace of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: mind given all of the events that could impact the U.S.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Economy.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: You should see if holding gold in a tax-sheltered retirement
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: account is right for you too. Burst Gold can help
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you convert an existing IRA or a 401k into an
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: IRA in gold. You just have to text my name, Vince,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to the number 989898. Receive your free info kit on gold.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: There's no obligation, just useful information. With an A-plus rating
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: happy customers, let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: so you too can have peace of mind regardless of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: any uncertainty. Text Vince to 989898. Again, text my name, Vince,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to the number 989898. Do it today. Message and data
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: rights may apply. Holy cow. Yes, indeed.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Good to have everybody here with us this morning. Let
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: me just start with the thing that you and I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: have been working so feverishly to achieve. The Save America Act.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We want the Save Act. We want secure elections in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. And so my perpetual concern
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: about the SAVE Act animates all of my requests to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the White House. What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Is this thing coming? Is this thing coming? I know
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it's not all up to the White House. It's the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Senate who's really standing in the way. But insofar as
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: anybody can be addressed, let's address the president of the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: United States. Let's get an update from him. And sure enough,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: our own White House correspondent, Reagan Reese, just asked Caroline
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Leavitt all about it yesterday. Check out that moment.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Is absolutely still a priority for this president and the administration.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: The focus, of course, of much of the president's time
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: right now is on ensuring the success of Operation Epic Fury.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: but the president can walk and chew gum at the
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: same time. And he's very much continuing to focus on
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: the issues that matter here at home for the American people,
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: including the passage of the SAVE Act, including on bringing
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: down the cost of living, which is why you'll see
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: the president in about an hour and a half at
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: the Ratepayer Protection Pledge Roundtable, where he will be sitting
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: with big tech companies, with AI companies, who are building
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: in communities across the country and have pledged to pick
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: up the cost of the electricity tab in these small
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: towns and communities across the country, which is a great
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: thing for American consumers. So you'll be hearing from the
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: president directly on this very important domestic agenda item later
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: this afternoon. And it's something that he mentioned in his
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: State of Union address. So check it off the list
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: as another promise made and kept by this president.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: All right. So the question is like, look, I mean,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: this is what what Reagan asked. She says, Look, everything
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is wall to wall on Iran right now. But at
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the end of last week, you know, the big story
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: was the SAVE Act. What's the deal with this? Is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it still going to be a priority for the president?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And she said, absolutely. It remains a top priority for
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: President Trump, which is good news because he has to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: keep placing pressure on the United States Senate alongside the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: rest of us to get it passed. Now, the White
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: House also just released a whole suite of data about
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the SAVE Act, just to convey to you just how
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: serious this thing is to the American people. They say
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: another poll is showing massive support for the Save America Act.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And this polling comes to us from the Harvard-Harris people.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And it says the following.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: You ready?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: 71% of Americans support the Save America Act.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: 71%.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: That includes 69% of independents. Very nice. And half of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: rank and file Democrats. That's a lot of people. It
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: cuts across all parties. 81% of Americans favor acquiring ID.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: That's backed by 79% of independents and 70% of Democrats.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: 80% of Americans want states to purge non-citizens from the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: voter rolls. By the way, that's a feature of the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Save America Act. It's not one. We've probably underemphasized that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: That's a huge feature of the Save America Act, the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: non-citizens being purged from the voter rolls. 75% support proof
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of citizenship to vote. a key plank in the Save
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: America Act, and 61% support sharing unredacted voting rolls with
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security. Why would that even be controversial?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The idea that the federal government would be able to...
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: There's an expression we use sometimes when you're dealing with
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: something technical. We could de-dupe. We could de-dupe the voting rolls.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: We could get rid of the duplicates. If somebody's registered
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to vote in two places... Stop that. We got to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: stop that. That can't happen. You can only be registered
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to vote in one spot. You know, if it's a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: dead person on the voting rolls, you know, check the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: vital records and be like, that guy's dead. Remove them
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: from the voting rolls. Keep them clean. Keep them credible. Obviously.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see. What else do they have in this? 60%
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: call the Save America Act a common sense way to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: stop fraud and protect the security of our elections. 58%
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of Americans do recognize that that there's at least some
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: voter fraud in the United States. What an expression. They
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: recognize that there's at least some voter fraud in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: United States.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: 58%.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: In case you're wondering how the information war is going,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: only 58% of Americans are aware that voter fraud exists. Yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of course it exists. It's like saying, is there such
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a thing as... A UFO?
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: If it's unidentified, it's an unidentified flying object. There's no
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: debate over that. What do you mean? Yeah, I'm not
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: sure UFOs exist. Of course they exist. If you don't
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: know what they are, they're UFOs. But voter fraud definitely exists.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: We just saw prosecutions this week on voter fraud of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a bunch of Democrats. Voter fraud exists. 58% recognize it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Let's get that number up. 85% agree that only U.S.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: citizens should vote in our elections. 85%! 85%. Who are
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the other 15%? All Democrats, including 84% of independents and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: 82% of Democrats. So that's the update there. But, you know, look,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that's really good. And they say this aligns with a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: bunch of other data we've seen. Pew says 83% of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Americans favor voter ID. Gallup, 84% support voter ID. Rasmussen,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: 75% support voter ID. And Heritage Action, the Great Heritage Action,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: they see strong majorities across five different battleground states all
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: support the Save America Act. So the electoral incentives are
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: all there. If you're one of these, like, you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: establishment Republicans, finger of the wind, what do the voters want?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: You know, is this going to help me in my election? Well,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: how about pay attention to the fact that the overwhelming
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: majority of the American public want this. There's no peril here.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: This is not controversial. There's no downside to this. Except
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: for you having to do your job. If that's the downside,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: which apparently it is, that's the thing that's keeping Republican
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: senators away from showing up on the floor, forcing a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: speaking filibuster, getting the Save America Act passed. It's nuts.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I will say that I am super encouraged this week
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that you get something like this from the White House.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Thank you, as always, to the White House for answering
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: our questions. You know, it's great that we have a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: White House correspondent there, Reagan Reese, who can do this.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And it's also very encouraging that I'm watching so many
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of my conservative friends just keep the drumbeat alive. You
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: see all those tweets, people saying, today's a great day
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to pass the SAVE Act. Today's a great day to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: pass the SAVE Act. It's phenomenal. I love them all.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I just love everybody staying in the fight. Because the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Iran story is big, no question. The Iran story is
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a huge, consequential, world-shifting story. And while that's going on,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it's completely saturating so much of the information and news cycle.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: But there is a category in Washington, in fact, a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: huge percentage of the figures who are in Washington right
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: now who want the Iran story to absolutely suffocate the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Save America Act story. Can't let it happen. Got to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: keep it alive. Got to keep it alive. We've made
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of progress so far. Let's stay in the fight.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: So thank you for all of you who've done that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: That's right. And Pleb Fandango says, and tomorrow's a great
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: day to go vote no on the redistricting scheme in Virginia. Yes,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that's true. Tomorrow begins early voting in Virginia. Democrats are
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: trying to rig the whole damn election in the state
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: right now to steal the entire United States House of Representatives.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I can't even begin to emphasize the scale of this
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: problem in Virginia. Look at you, you just took me
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: off my, like I'm going off in a different direction.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I've got everything. We have so many things we've got
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to do to save our country that are constantly coming
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: at us. So because I just got pulled off, sometimes
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: when I look at the chat, my mind just goes
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: instantly to the topic that you're trying to draw me to.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't do that because it just throws me
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: off my flow, but I'm going to flow right into
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: something else right now. Thank you, Pleb Fandango. You did this.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Just so you know, you did this. This thing in Virginia,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they're trying to steal all the congressional seats. Right now
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it's six, five, six Democrats, five Republicans. They want to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: change it. Democrats do. to 10 Democrats, one Republican before
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the midterms. And Abigail freaking Spanberger, the new governor of Virginia,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the Democrat, the person who was described as a moderate,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: just put a video out just a few minutes ago,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: 51 minutes ago at the time that I'm talking to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you right now at 8, 12 a.m. Eastern time. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: she declared that she is voting, quote, yes, on Virginia's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: redistricting amendment. This is a referendum, hotly contested. It's completely unconstitutional,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to be clear. Courts have already found that. But other
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: court decisions have worked in the favor of Democrats this week,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: meaning that this nonsensical, corrupt, vote-rigging referendum can move forward.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It's a referendum on the ballot. Virginians on the ballot
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is going to say this. Do you want to restore
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: fairness to elections? Yes or no? Vote no. They're lying
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to you. It's not restoring fairness. It's stripping fairness from elections.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It's rigging the entire map in Virginia in order to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: just hand the United States House of Representatives right to Democrats.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, think about what happened in Indiana. We just
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: saw it happen in Indiana recently. You know, when we're
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: asking Republicans to fight back against all of these Democrat
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: rigging operations across the whole country, they're doing it everywhere.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, Democrats have rigged congressional maps so consequentially in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: so many blue states, they don't even have seats left
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to steal. They've stolen all of them. In Maryland, they're
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: trying to steal the last Republican seat right now. They've
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: stolen so many seats that it doesn't actually represent the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: population of the states. And so Republicans, to the extent
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that they've mounted any fight whatsoever, they've done it a
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: little bit in Texas fighting back. And of course, the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Texas thing is being used by the left as, oh,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: look what Republicans are trying to do.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Republicans are the ones who have laid down their arms
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: for years. Finally, President Trump gets Texas to fight back.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: He asked Indiana to fight back. Indiana Republicans sit on
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: their fat asses covering, you know, just not doing anything
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to help us. which is crazy. And of course, all
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of those guys should be primaried right the hell out
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: of office. And now in Virginia, they're trying to do
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it again and with huge numbers. And so here's Abigail
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Spanberger dressing this up in the language of, oh, we're
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: just doing this because Republicans were mean. Watch this. Here's
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Abigail Spanberger this morning in a goofy video.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: Hello, I'm Governor Abigail Spanberger, and I'm voting yes on
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: Virginia's redistricting amendment.
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: Here's why.
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: I supported the formation of Virginia's bipartisan redistricting commission in 2020,
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: and that support has not changed. What has changed is
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: what we're seeing in states across the country and a
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: president who says that he's, quote, entitled to more Republican
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: seats before this year's midterms. That's a direct quote, entitled.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: The Democrats have stolen so many congressional seats. Remember what
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: happened in the wake of the 2020 census. Democrat states
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: were given unearned congressional seats. They were given more seats
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: than they deserved. Republican states were given fewer seats than
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they actually deserved. That happened in the wake of the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: 2020 census, not to mention all of the tens of
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: millions of illegal aliens who are living in our country
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: right now, concentrated in blue states, giving Democrats unearned congressional
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: seats by virtue of their human bodies being there and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the census making no distinction between American citizens and illegal aliens.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: The entire ballgame is rigged for Democrats right now. And
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: she's pretending like that, no, everything is totally fine. President
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Trump is trying to steal elections. She's lying.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: And Virginia has the opportunity to take action in response.
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: And our approach is different. First, it's temporary.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: Second.
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: It's directly in response to what other states decide to do.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It's just a temporary act of tyranny. We promise we
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: won't be tyrannical in the future. You really believe that?
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: Third, and most importantly for me, it preserves Virginia's fair
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: redistricting process into the future. At this extraordinary moment, I
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: urge all Virginians to join me in voting yes by
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: April 21st.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And I urge all Virginians to join me in voting
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: hell no. It'll just say no. You just check the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: no box. Vote no for rigging Virginia's elections and rigging
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the entire United States House of Representatives. This is why
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: this is not merely a story for my Virginia audience,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: which of course it is. It's a story for our
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: whole country. Democrats are trying to use Virginia, this great
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: historic state, as a means to steal the entire United
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: States House of Representatives this year. Don't let them do it, Virginia.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Vote no. Vote no. Early voting begins tomorrow, Friday, March 6th.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It runs through April 21st. Get to the polls as
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: quickly as humanly possible and make sure your vote is
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: registered as a no. Don't let anybody else show up
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and pretend to be you. Don't let anybody try and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: claim your vote. Take the vote as quickly as possible.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Vote no.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And get everybody else you know to do it too.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And if you know people in Virginia, please contact them
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: right now and tell them you have to vote tomorrow,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: March 6th. You have to vote. And then bother them
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: throughout the entire voting period. Have you voted yet? Did
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you vote yet? Did you actually get your vote in yet?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: That actually works, by the way. You just keep asking
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: people if they voted yet until they actually do. Because
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: they want you to stop asking. All right, fine. Whatever
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: it takes. Whatever it takes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Coming up, more on elections in the country, because this
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: week we had the big primary results in Texas. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: talked to you at some length about them yesterday. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I think I said on the podcast and or the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: radio show, either way, I know I've said these words,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that I kind of expected President Trump might sit out
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the Texas Republican runoff between John Cornyn, and Ken Paxton,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden yesterday, he rolled out
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a ready to explode grenade.
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: I guess.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that metaphor exactly works, but the point
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: is the president jumped in yesterday and said, my endorsement's
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: on the way.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about what that means coming up on this
• 16:55

  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So let's see here. I want to talk to you
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: about the president. So the president jumps in yesterday on
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Truth Social, and he goes, okay, look, the primary's done
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: in Texas. And remember, in Texas, if you don't get
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: 50% of the vote at least, it adds to a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: runoff between the top two opponents, top two vote-getters. Well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: in this case, the top two vote-getters are are the incumbent,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn, and Ken Paxton, the challenger. And President Trump
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: just announced that he's about to make an endorsement in
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the race. He said the Republican primary race is over.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: It was great. It was a state I love. I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: won it three times in record numbers. But it can't
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: be allowed to go on any longer. It's got to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: stop now. We have an easy-to-beat radical left opponent. He's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: talking about James Talafrico. You know that guy? James, he's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a total freak. The guy's a left-wing, radical whack job
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: who says God is non-binary, God loves abortion. He says
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that we need a welcome mat on our border. He's insane,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that James Talafrico. So President Trump says, look, he's very
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: easy to beat. We've got to totally focus on putting
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: him away, quickly and decisively. Both John and Ken ran
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: great races. but not good enough. Not good enough, meaning
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: neither of them got the 50% that you need to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: avoid a runoff. Now, this one must be perfect. My
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: endorsements within the Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable. It
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: is such an honor to realize and say that almost
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: everyone I endorse wins and wins by a lot, especially
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: in Texas. I will be making my endorsement soon and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: will be asking the candidate that I don't endorse to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: immediately drop out of the race. Is that fair? We
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: must win in November. Thank you for your attention to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: this matter, President Donald J. Trump. Okay, so a couple
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: of things going on here. One, the president is under
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of pressure right now. He's under a lot
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: of pressure from John Thune and the establishment Republicans to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: give an endorsement to Cornyn, to support Cornyn. Did I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: ask you guys to pull that clip today? I want
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to see if I have that. I think I do
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: have it. Here is Thune. Let me pull this up. Yeah, no,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that's right. Here it is. He's issuing a public call
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: for John Cornyn to get the Trump nod. Here is
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: John Thune on Fox yesterday demanding, well, urging this very
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: thing from the president of the United States. Take a listen.
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: I've spoken with the president already today about Texas, and
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: I'm certainly hopeful. I think as probably you know, Martha,
• 20:55
  Speaker 11: I've made no secret of the fact that I hope
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: the president will.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Endorse John Cornyn.
• 20:59
  Speaker 11: He is an incredibly effective senator for the state of Texas.
• 21:02
  Speaker 11: strong conservative voice here in the United States Senate and
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: represents by far our very best hope of making sure
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: that Texas stays red in November in that Senate election.
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: And so we'll see ultimately the president, you know, he
• 21:16
  Speaker 11: makes his own decisions, but I've certainly weighed in many
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: a time, many times, I should say, in support of
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: Senator Cornyn. And I believe he is not only going
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: to win the primary, but the general election in November.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: All right, so he's saying, look, the guy's very electable.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Let's keep him around. He's my establishment bro. And I
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: keep telling President Trump that he should make this endorsement
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: for Cornyn. Now, what do the people want? What does
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Trump's base want? The answer to that is Paxton. They
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: want Ken Paxton. And if you want proof of this,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: look no further than the response to President Trump's post
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: on Truth Social. Look at this. I'm just going into
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: this organically here just to show you, like right now
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: as I'm staring at the Truth Social post. I looked
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: at this yesterday after President Trump posted this. Everybody wants Paxton.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, the first one. We want Ken Paxton. Second one.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn's a rhino.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Third one.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Texas needs Ken Paxton.
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: Fourth.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Ask Cornyn to drop out. Paxton is MAGA. Fifth. Ken
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Paxton has done more for the people of Texas. Six.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Texans don't want Cornyn. Seven, John Cornyn is a rhino,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: not MAGA. We need Ken Paxton to fight for Texas
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and America. Make it Ken Paxton. Please endorse Ken Paxton.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I pray you pick Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton only. Are
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you seeing this? I didn't set this up. I'm just
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: telling you this is what's on true social right now. Paxton, Paxton, Paxton.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: We need Paxton. TPUSA endorses Paxton. We want Paxton, Paxton.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Everybody's saying they want Paxton. So in other words- I'm
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: interested to know, and I posted about this yesterday. I'm
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: interested to know whether or not President Trump is using
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: this Truth Social post as a straw poll. Is he,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: now by the time you hear this podcast, this may
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: be a resolved question. President Trump has indicated he's going
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: to make an endorsement. So, you know, I can't control
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the passage of time. You know, by the time you
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: hear this, he may have made an endorsement and much
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of this will be rendered moot. But I do wonder
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to what extent This is a straw poll right now,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: because you know that President Trump does like focus grouping
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: questions with his base. He likes going out on rally
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: stages and talking to the crowd, finding out what they're
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: interested in. You remember that famous, I don't know if
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you recall the origin story of Drain the Swamp, but
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Drain the Swamp was not President Trump's idea. It was
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the idea of somebody else on his campaign, and he
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't very keen on it at first. He thought, maybe
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: he thought it sounded a little lame or hokey or something.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: But he goes out on a rally stage and he
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: uses the expression drain the swamp. And the crowd loved it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: This rally crowd, his base loved drain the swamp. And
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you can see why drain the swamp, because we all
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: see Washington's a swamp. It's a sewer. We need to
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: drain it. This is this went over very well with
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the crowd. And President Trump would later go on to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: tell rally stages that, hey, that wasn't my idea. But
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: as soon as I said it, you guys loved it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: So that's why I'm using it, because it's really effective
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and you love it. So I'm going to use it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: The president does that in all sorts of things. He
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: takes the temperature of his base, tries to figure out
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: what they're interested in and tries to pursue things as
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: best he can towards the goals he has in mind
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and what his base wants him to do. The guys,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the people who brought him to the dance, the guys
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: who sent him there. I believe that this is that
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the president does pay attention to the feedback he's getting
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: on truth socially. And so if that means anything to you,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you may want to add your voice to the conversation
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: right now, because he has not yet, as of this morning,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: made his decision in that race. But I will say
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: my instincts tell me that he's very likely to pick Cornyn.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: This is just I'm just going off my gut instinct here.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: My instincts tell me. that this pressure by John Thune
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and the people around him and trying to convince the
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: president that Cornyn's the guy who's the surefire bet, he's
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the incumbent, he's been there for many terms. And so
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: that means, you know, in November, he'll be the one
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: who can easily win, you know, let's not roll the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: dice on Ken Paxton. That may play a role. There
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: may also be some behind-the-scenes horse trading going on that
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: will become more clear in the days ahead. For instance,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculation right now that Perhaps the
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: president is trading the Cornyn endorsement for the Save America Act,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: actually getting a real floor vote. In other words, telling Thune, hey,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I'll support your guy, but you have to deliver for me. Now,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I just want to remind people, there have been times
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that Republican leadership has made promises to President Trump, and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: then they rug pulled him at the last second. They
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: failed him. In the first term, he ran into this.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: where he got all sorts of promises from Congress about
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: securing our border and things, and the president would play
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: along with them, and then they would rug pull him.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Can't let that happen. Can't let that happen. So we'll
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on this, but it's not done yet.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, the president has not made an endorsement yet,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but it is a seismic thing that he's about to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: make an endorsement. Finally, in this race, Paxton... just did
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: an interview with Just the News overnight, and he was
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: asked about this. Are you going to bow out of
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the race if President Trump endorses Cornyn? And I don't
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: know if this is going to play a factor in
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: President Trump's math here, but Paxton just said, no, I'm
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Take a look at this. On Just
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the News, Ken Paxton interview last night.
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: Watch.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I spent $ 5 million versus $ 100.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And there have only been two U.S. senators that I
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: know that lost a primary in the last 40 or
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: so years because the finance rules are so rigged in
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: favor of the incumbents and so limited for challengers. But
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I think Richard Lugar lost and Bob Bennett lost to
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Mike Lee. So it's a pretty unusual thing to take
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: on an incumbent and actually do well against them. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: we're going to do really well in the runoff.
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: So when you look at the vote, 60% of the
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: people who voted last night voted against Cornyn, though he's
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: been in office for a long, long time.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: And that's a.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Huge detail, by the way, that the opposition vote against
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Cornyn was dramatic. 60% of the vote voted Wesley Hunt,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: who was in third place, and Ken Paxton. So people
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: definitely want a change in Texas. Republicans want a change
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in Texas. So if the president's math is electability— Cornyn's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the incumbent and couldn't break 50%. That doesn't bode well
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: for November.
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: What do you make of that? What message does that send?
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: And what message do you want to send to the
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: Republican base? President Trump said he's going to make an endorsement.
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: Whoever he does endorse.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Should drop out.
• 28:05
  Speaker 12: I have a funny feeling you don't drop out under
• 28:07
  Speaker 12: any circumstance.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: No, I'm staying in this race. I owe it to
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: the people of Texas. I've spent a year of my
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: life campaigning against John Cornyn because John Cornyn Has not
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: represented the people of Texas well. He sided with Joe
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Biden on the second amendment restriction. He sided with Joe
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Biden on bringing Afghan refugees to settle here without vetting them.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: But he's been against Trump in both of his elections,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: said he shouldn't run last time. His day had passed.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: And of course, he fought him on the border wall.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: He's been an amnesty guy. Everything that Trump stood for,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: John Cornyn's fought. But he wasn't being helpful to Joe Biden.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: The people of Texas, at least the Republicans, would like
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: something different.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: So he says, I'm staying in the race. Even if
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the president endorses Cornyn, I'm staying in this race for
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the runoff. Now, the reality is, like, it'll just mean
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: that there's going to be a bit of a bruising runoff.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: If both of these guys stay in, there's going to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: be a bruising runoff. They're going to spend some money
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: attacking each other. You may, in the end, chip away
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: at some of their support. But then by the time
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: we move on to the general election, it's just going
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to be one candidate on the ballot. It'll be one
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: against James Talifrico. So regardless of the sequence of events,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you're only going to have one Republican candidate on that
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: ballot against James Talifrico coming up in November. That's just
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the plain reality here. So Ken Paxton indicating he's staying in.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: And you heard Paxton say in that interview with John
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Solomon in Just the News that, you know, Cornyn hasn't
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: exactly been a Trump guy. When I say he hasn't exactly,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I'm understating it. He straight up said that Donald Trump
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: is done for. In 2023, he said Donald Trump can't win,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: can't win. Our buddy Sean Davis posting about this yesterday.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Trump can't win in 2024, says Texas Senator John Cornyn. Quote,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Trump's time has passed him by. Quote, I don't think
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: President Trump understands that when you run in a general election,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: you have to appeal to voters beyond your base. What
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: do you mean he doesn't understand? That's literally what he did.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: In 2024, he grew the base that supported him, cutting
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: across all demographics. Now Trump voters. Cornyn saying, Trump can't win.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Trump can't win. All right, Vince, but maybe you're being
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a little unfair. Maybe his powers of political predictive capabilities
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: aren't very good. Maybe that's the issue here. But what
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: about his policies? Well, his policies also suck, to be
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: honest with you. Look at this. This is from the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Project for Immigration Reform. They highlighted an interview that he
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: just did with Politico recently. And in the interview, Cornyn
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: indicated that the reason he wants to serve another term
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: is to help, quote, fix our broken immigration system, end quote.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: And then he goes on to say that he wants
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a pathway to citizenship that For 1.8 million DACA recipients,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: those would be illegal aliens. He says that President Trump's
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: a builder. He understands that. So the reason you want
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to stay in Congress is for amnesty? That's the reason
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I would want you out of Congress. We don't need
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: an amnesty. We need an amnesty like we need a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: hole in the head. We need somebody like Ken Paxton. Again,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: it'll be up to the president. He's got a far
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: more consequential endorsement than I do. But the president hasn't
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: yet made the decision. As of this morning, 8.33 a.m.,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: maybe he will imminently. But in the meantime, if you've
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: got the president's ear or you've got the replies on
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Truth Social, let him know how you feel. He pays
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: attention to that stuff. All right, more ahead on this
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: edition of Vince. We've got a lot more to dive into.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: We could go in so many directions. We could go
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: in so many directions. I could do more electoral politics
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: with you because we've got some big announcements about that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: We also have Minnesota Democrats just testified yesterday in the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: United States House about all the fraud that's been happening
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: on their watch. We'll get into that as well. There's
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a lot to hit. We'll do it ahead on Vince. Hey,

  Speaker 1: One more piece of electoral politics for you, and then
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I'll barrel forward into the absolute jackals in Minnesota who've
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: been stealing all of our money. The big Senate story
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: overnight is that Montana Republican Senator Steve Gaines just announced
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: that he's retiring from the Senate. This guy's an establishment guy.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: We're dealing with another establishment guy. He's retiring.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: But.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: This is the way he retired. A little bit of,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's annoying, candidly. I don't love the way
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: this went down. Steve Daines, according to a local reporter,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Ambarian from KTVH News out of Montana, Steve Daines
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: withdrew just before the 5 p.m. deadline last night. And
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: right before he withdrew, The U.S. attorney for Montana, Kurt Almey,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: submitted his package to run for Senate, like seconds before.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: So you see what happens? Right before the filing deadline,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: like everybody thinks the incumbent is staying in the race.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Steve Daines withdraws, Kurt Almey files literally minutes before that,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and now the filing deadline's over. That was not... It
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't like an open primary process. That was just a
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: handpicked replacement. Like, Steve Daines just picked his own guy,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the U.S.
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: Attorney.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Now, Kurt Almey might be fantastic. I don't know the
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: answer to this. I'm helped a little bit by the
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: fact that President Trump basically jumped in immediately. He jumped
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: in immediately last night, and he thanked Steve Daines of
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Montana for being a great United States senator, serving 12
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: years in the Senate. He says his term He's decided
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to pass the torch to Kurt Almey, and he said
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: that the reason he's very happy about this is because
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Kurt has the highest level of aptitude and talent, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: he's exceptional, and therefore he gets his endorsement. So he's
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: endorsing Kurt Almey. He's an exceptional person. He'll make a
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: fantastic senator from the great state of Montana. He will
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: not let you down. So Montana, for those of you
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: in Montana, suddenly you've got a new Republican on the ticket,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: a guy who squeaks in at the last second before
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the filing deadline. That's by design. Daines picks his own guy.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: President Trump endorses the guy. He's currently the U.S.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Attorney.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: He was the U.S. attorney in Montana during Trump's first term.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: He is the U.S. attorney again during Trump's second term.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: President Trump clearly has a lot of trust in this
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: guy to be a prosecutor in his Justice Department. So
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: we'll see. There's that's but that's that's the guy. So
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: just so you know, this is just basic electoral news here.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: that that's the way things shook out overnight. President Trump
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: trying to give an instant endorsement, trying to settle down
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: anybody who has concerns about the way this was done.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I find it annoying though. I think if you're going
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: to run for office, especially in a primary phase, you
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: got to make a case, you know, and give people
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to throw their hat in the ring too.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe another, a better person can come along, but a
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: bit of an establishment stunt here by Steve Daines and
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: the president's being gracious about it. Now, again, just to
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: remind you how establishment he is, Daines just last week,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: was warning against using the talking filibuster to get the
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: SAVE Act passed. He told the Daily Caller News Foundation that, well,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: it's fraught with peril. That was his quote. It's fraught
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: with peril. You dig into the reality of this process,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: we realize it's not going to be a good strategy,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: he says. It's nonsense. It's the best strategy we have
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: right now. These are the rules of the Senate. Follow them.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Get the SAVE America Act passed. So that's the Steve
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Daines story again. breaking overnight. Let's move on now to Minnesota.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: We hit all these different states, Virginia, we got Texas,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: we got Montana. Let's do Minnesota now. Minnesota, this is
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: where the fraud's been happening. Outrageous fraud has been happening.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: You've been robbed blind. Minnesotans have been robbed even more so.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: $ 20 billion right out the door because tampon Tim Walz
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: and company just let it happen. So the oversight committee
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: yesterday hauls in all these Democrats. And it's immediately all
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the Democrats who are on the committee try kicking up
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: sand in order to stop the whole hearing from demonstrating
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: any sort of meaningful action. consequences. So there was a
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Democrat congresswoman yesterday. Her name's Yasemin Ansari, Democrat congresswoman Yasemin Ansari.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: She said yesterday, it is outrageous that we are focused on,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: what is this again? Fraud, focused on fraud. Take a look,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: cut two.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Recognize this missing, sorry.
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: Mr. Chairman, it's outrageous that this is what we're choosing
• 39:55
  Speaker 13: to spend our time on on the oversight committee. At
• 39:58
  Speaker 13: the first one- Fraud?
• 40:02
  Speaker 10: At the first one, yes, fraud, because let's talk about fraud.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: It's outrageous that we're focused on fraud? And she goes, yes, yes, fraud.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: These people, these people, not on your side. As my
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: great friend Chris Plant says, they're not on your side.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: They're not on your side at all. Brandon Gill, who's wonderful,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: speaking of Texas, Brandon Gill cornered Tampon Tim yesterday. He
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: did a great job, as he always does. This guy,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: we should just have every congressional hearing conducted by Brandon Gill.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Here's Brandon Gill confronting Tampon Tim about how fraudsters were
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: completely protected in the state. by phony charges of racism
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: if you dared to investigate them. Watch this. Cut through.
• 40:47
  Speaker 13: Would you agree that as governor, ultimately, you're responsible if
• 40:50
  Speaker 13: tax dollars are defrauded?
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, I would agree.
• 40:53
  Speaker 13: Would you also agree that calling somebody racist is a
• 40:56
  Speaker 13: serious accusation?
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: If they are racist?
• 41:02
  Speaker 13: I'm asking you, is that a serious accusation to make
• 41:06
  Speaker 13: about somebody?
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: I think it's just an observation of reality.
• 41:11
  Speaker 13: All right, well, let's go there. Is it racist for
• 41:13
  Speaker 13: a government official to identify fraud?
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: No.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: No.
• 41:19
  Speaker 13: Is it Islamophobic?
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: To identify fraud?
• 41:23
  Speaker 13: To identify fraud?
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: No, I don't believe it would be.
• 41:26
  Speaker 13: How come multiple whistleblowers have said that your administration told
• 41:29
  Speaker 13: them not to say anything about widespread fraud across multiple
• 41:33
  Speaker 13: agencies because doing so would be considered racist or Islamophobic?
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: I can't speak to it because it's not anything I
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: would say.
• 41:41
  Speaker 13: Well, that's what your administration has said and has told whistleblowers.
• 41:45
  Speaker 13: And as you just testified, the buck stops with you.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: It's what you.
• 41:48
  Speaker 13: Stated in your statement whenever you announced you weren't running again.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's totally right about that. All of the
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: people who were trying to look into the Somali fraud
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: going on in Minnesota were being waved off. Don't you dare.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: That's racist. Don't you look at it. Their skin color
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: protects them. You can break laws based on your skin color.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: That's the world the left has built. They've built a
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: caste system. where they'll check your skin color and then, well, sorry,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: you broke the law, you'll be held accountable. Oh, wait,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: you broke the law, different skin color, you're totally fine,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: you can get away with it. Nope, justice should be
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: blind in the United States of America. Not blind in Minnesota,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: totally corrupt in Minnesota because of Tim Walz and Keith
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Ellison and Jacob Fry. So Brandon Gill corners him about
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: what happened to the whistleblowers. In fact, specifically when it
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: comes to the whistleblowers, the reality is that the tampon
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Tim Walz administration destroyed their lives because they came forward
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: with these very credible allegations about fraud, which have been
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: proven out by all of the prosecutions and convictions. We've
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: seen over 100 people convicted for fraud in Minnesota, almost
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: all of them Somali, now behind bars. And that's because
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: of what Tampon Tim did. Take a look here about
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the whistleblowers and what Tampon Tim did to them. Cut four.
• 43:05
  Speaker 13: Faye Bernstein, who, again, has stated that she is a Democrat.
• 43:08
  Speaker 13: She's only ever voted Democrat.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Says that she was subjected to, quote, a.
• 43:12
  Speaker 13: Smear campaign for trying to make leadership aware of illegal
• 43:15
  Speaker 13: contracting practices. Why do you think that happened?
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: I can't speak to that, Congressman, because we don't do it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 13: You just don't know anything?
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: I do know that we have strong whistleblower protections, and
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: I can't speak to that.
• 43:28
  Speaker 13: That's not what the whistleblowers are saying. According to another report, quote,
• 43:33
  Speaker 13: there's just a continuous effort to stifle you, to shut
• 43:36
  Speaker 13: you up, and it's impossible to overcome. Your administration's response
• 43:40
  Speaker 13: to whistleblowers has also been described as, quote, nearly unbearable retaliation.
• 43:46
  Speaker 13: We've heard claims that, quote, they've been denied vacations, promotions,
• 43:50
  Speaker 13: and that it's hurt people's careers to speak out against fraud.
• 43:52
  Speaker 13: Do you think that that had something to do with
• 43:55
  Speaker 13: the prevalence of fraud in your administration?
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: I can't speak to it, but it doesn't take responsibility
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: for this. I certainly I supervise 40,000 employees. State agencies
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: supervise a lot of a lot of employees.
• 44:06
  Speaker 13: And as you have said, the buck stops with you
• 44:09
  Speaker 13: and your administration has treated whistleblowers like absolute dirt. And
• 44:12
  Speaker 13: that's a big reason why we've seen so much of
• 44:15
  Speaker 13: our hard earned tax dollars defrauded.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, what happened yesterday is typical stuff from Tampon Tim.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: He did the Sergeant Schultz routine. I know nothing.
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: I know nothing.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: My eyes completely shut to this. Now, that would make
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: sense if it wasn't for the fact that he's so
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: obviously and provably sinister. The guy has lied about everything,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: including things like his time in combat or whatever. He
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: was just lying. He just told so many lies. So
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: one of the defining features of Tim Walz is he's
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: a liar. He's a liar. So he's sitting there before
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Congress under oath yesterday. They're like, I don't know anything
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: about these whistleblowers, what happened to them. I never even
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: heard of such a thing. When, of course, it's been
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: one of the dominant stories here about how this fraud
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: was allowed to happen, including in local coverage in Minnesota.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: The guy's a con artist. Yesterday, Nancy Mace confronted him
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: about the fact that so-called autism spending has exploded. Autism spending.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: What's happened is Somali fraudsters found out that they could
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: claim that they were servicing the needs of autistic children
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: in the state, and then they just take a ton
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: of money, and then they give kickbacks to Somali families
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: who pretended to have autistic children just to be taken
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a check. That really happened in Minnesota. It's a vile,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: vile scandal for a million different reasons, including the theft
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: of the American taxpayer, the failure to actually help kids
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: who actually have autism who could benefit from a program
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: like this, and then just the decision to straight up
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: steal it and use it for your own cruel, selfish purposes.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: It's all so disgraceful. And here's Nancy Mace confronting Tampon
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Tim about the fact that you realize autism spending has
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: exploded by multiple thousands of percentage points in your state,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: and that doesn't stand out to you? Listen to this.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Cut five.
• 46:02
  Speaker 14: How much money was spent on autism in Minnesota in 2017, Governor?
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: I don't have those numbers in front of me, Congresswoman.
• 46:09
  Speaker 10: Did you prepare for this hearing today?
• 46:12
  Speaker 11: I did.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: I take Congress seriously.
• 46:14
  Speaker 14: And you've seen the numbers about autism fraud in Minnesota.
• 46:17
  Speaker 14: So we're going to do some Minnesota math with you today, okay?
• 46:20
  Speaker 10: Are you ready?
• 46:21
  Speaker 14: How much money was spent on 2017.
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: For autism in Minnesota?
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: How much? I don't know. I wasn't the governor.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 46:29
  Speaker 10: Did you not just say that you prepared for this
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: hearing today? $ 1 million, okay?
• 46:34
  Speaker 14: A quick Google search or using your AI could tell
• 46:36
  Speaker 14: you $ 1 million was spent. How much money was spent
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: on autism in Minnesota in 2024?
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: I don't have the number in front of me.
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: Were you governor in 2024?
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: I was, but I'm not the head of.
• 46:48
  Speaker 14: Okay, so your excuse before that you didn't know what
• 46:51
  Speaker 14: 2017 autism numbers were because you were not governor, and
• 46:55
  Speaker 14: today you can't answer the numbers about 2024 as governor, and.
• 47:00
  Speaker 10: You still said you prepared for this hearing today. It's unbelievable.
• 47:02
  Speaker 14: $ 343 million was spent in 2024. What percent increase is
• 47:08
  Speaker 14: that from $ 1 million to $ 343 million?
• 47:11
  Speaker 10: What percentage increase is that?
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not here to be your prop. Go ahead and
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: tell me.
• 47:15
  Speaker 10: Are you governor of Minnesota or not?
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: Yes, I am.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: I'm not a prop for a member of Congress.
• 47:19
  Speaker 14: Well, when I'm governor of South Carolina, you can sure
• 47:21
  Speaker 14: as hell bet that I'm going to know the math.
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: The math is 34,200% increase, an increase of 343 times
• 47:25
  Speaker 14: what it was in this time period. Do you know
• 47:27
  Speaker 14: the number of children in Minnesota?
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: No.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I know that Minnesota ranked as a top three state
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: for children.
• 47:38
  Speaker 10: What is the total population in Minnesota?
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: That's perfect. I think we've given people as much as
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: they possibly could take of Tim Walz. Yeah, I mean, look,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the math makes it obvious. This is the kind of, like,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: if you were in the business of investigating fraud, looking
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: for evidence of fraud, you would look at this kind
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: of math and be like, well, that's an anomaly. Why
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: did we see, like, a several thousand percentage increase in
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: spending in this one category, what's going on there? Is
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: there a legitimate multi-thousand percent increase in the need? Or
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: is something else happening? And the something else is that
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Americans are being robbed blind. And there's Tampon Tim doing
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the Sergeant Schultz, you know, like, oh, nothing's happening. I
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: didn't even know about it. I love that she caught
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: him in the moment where she was like, what about 2017?
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: He's like, I wasn't governor. What about 2024? I don't
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: have the numbers in front of me. Oh, okay, so-
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: When it was 2017, you came up with the I'm
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: not a governor excuse. In 2024, you came up with
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: the I'm an idiot. You're not even consistent in your
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: excuses for why you can't explain what's going on in
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: your state right now. But you can, of course, as
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: you watch his sinister behavior, you can't exclude the fact
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: that he's an idiot. You can't exclude that from your calculus.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: And yesterday, one of my favorite congressmen, Pat Fallon, he
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: did not exclude this from his assessment yesterday. Here's Congressman
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Pat Fallon in what should become a legendary clip from Congress.
• 49:05
  Speaker 11: Watch.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 49:06
  Speaker 15: Chairman, I don't know if you know this, but it's
• 49:09
  Speaker 15: been widely reported that in 2008, when Barack Obama was
• 49:14
  Speaker 15: choosing his vice presidential candidate.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: He had three criteria. He wanted to make sure he.
• 49:20
  Speaker 15: picked somebody that wasn't as smart as him and had
• 49:23
  Speaker 15: less talent and charisma and couldn't possibly outshine him.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: So he picked Joe Biden.
• 49:28
  Speaker 15: And then Joe Biden in 2020 used the exact same criteria.
• 49:32
  Speaker 15: He wanted to make sure he picked somebody who wasn't
• 49:33
  Speaker 15: as smart as him, had less talent and charisma, and
• 49:35
  Speaker 15: wouldn't outshine him. And he picked Kamala Harris. And then
• 49:39
  Speaker 15: in 2024, Governor, I think it's very evident why Kamala
• 49:42
  Speaker 15: Harris picked you.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: The talent pool, Mr.
• 49:47
  Speaker 15: Chairman, the talent pool in this shallow, brother, we have
• 49:51
  Speaker 15: hit the shore and I yield back.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: That is one of my favorite memes. That these Democrats
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: keep picking people who are even dumber and less impressive
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: than they are. to be their running mates and that's
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: how you end up with tim wallace it's so funny
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: it's so funny look i get it there's a lot
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: of these congressional hearings will come and go and you'll
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: be like all right there's a lot of talking but
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: where's the action we want totally fair totally fair critique
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: but insofar as there's going to be talking we need
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: epic dunks like that from pat fallon thank you congress
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: an instant classic an instant classic i loved loved that
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: yesterday um Let's see. Some other quick things for you
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: that I want to hit. I mean, man, I could
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: we could do this all day. I honestly have just
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: hours of stuff to get to. And a lot of
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: this I'm going to have to get to on the
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: radio show with you today. But I want to take
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: you back to Virginia for a moment. We've been talking
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: this week about a woman called Stephanie Minter, 41 years old,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: who was just stabbed to death by an illegal alien.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: in one of the most grotesque possible crimes, in a
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: bus stop recently. This person was charged over 40 times,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: arrested over 30 times. He's been released over and over
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: and over by the Soros-funded attorney in Fairfax County, Virginia.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: It's just an absolute mess. And we just got an
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: update on this story that all of the local authorities
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: knew how dangerous this guy was, the illegal alien.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: They knew it.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: They knew that he was a danger, a threat to
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: the community, a complete menace. And here is the excellent reporting.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: This is a local ABC reporter in Northern Virginia. His
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: name is Nick Minock. You've seen me play some of
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: his clips before. He's a phenomenal, phenomenal journalist. Here's what
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: he was able to dig up about what Fairfax County
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: police knew about this homicidal maniac.
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: Watch.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: These emails that Seven News obtained show that Fairfax County
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: police warned Fairfax County Commonwealth's attorney, Steve Descano, not once,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: not twice. but at least three times last year before
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Mentor's murder about this illegal immigrant. A violent criminal history.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: He has a lengthy one. But time after time, Descanos'
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: office dropped charge after charge, allowing him back into the community.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Emails obtained by 7 News show Fairfax County Police warning
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Commonwealth's attorney Steve Descanos' office about how dangerous Abdul Jalloh
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: was not once. but three times starting last May, well
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: before he was arrested for murdering Stephanie Mentor as she
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: waited for a bus in Hybla Valley last week. In
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: the last email from November, a Fairfax County police major
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: asked Descanos office why Jallo was back in the community
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: after facing a malicious wounding charge. The major telling Descanos
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: office that based on more than 100 encounters with Jallo
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: over the years, FCPD's assessment was, quote, it is not
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: a question of if, but rather when, He will maliciously
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: wound or worse again. Last May, in the first email,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Fairfax County Police told prosecutors in Descanos' office, Jallo has
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: a long history of stabbing community members and has shown
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: a blatant disregard for human life and is a danger
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: to the community. Today, here at the Capitol, I asked
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Democratic lawmakers about Minter's murder as they prepared. to vote
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: on legislation to limit ICE's ability to arrest illegal immigrants
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: in Virginia. I think it's her reaction to this murder
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: that happened in Fairfax County, allegedly at the hands of
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: an illegal immigrant.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I don't have any information on it.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: You don't know about Stephanie Minter or Abdul Jalloh? What's
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: your reaction to an illegal immigrant murdering a woman allegedly
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: in Fairfax County last week?
• 53:40
  Speaker 10: In the middle of a conversation.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Delegate, do you think Fairfax County Sheriff should— This just
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: keeps happening.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: All the Democrats, they don't want to say anything. They
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: don't want to say anything. In fact, he tries to
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: question the lieutenant governor at one point, and one of
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: her security goons shoves Nick Mannock away. As these Democrats,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: they just want to put their head down and pretend
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: like none of this is happening. It's happening, and it's
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: happening because of you, you other scumbags. And you saw
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the images. For those of you who are on rumble.com,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: you can see the image of the local Soros-funded prosecutor,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Steve Descano. The guy looks like a bald Pee Wee Herman.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: It's just a bizarre-looking figure. He's the guy who keeps
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: releasing this criminal onto the streets. And you had Fairfax
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: County Police. I think probably the most important email that
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: Nick obtained there is the one where they said, this
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: guy keeps stabbing everybody. Did you hear that moment? In
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: the emails, the local police know that this guy is
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: a stabber. He keeps stabbing Americans. So let's not release him.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: He's very violent. We should get him the hell out
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: of our country. Sometimes with criminals, you can only follow
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: the statutes, right? You prosecute them, you convict them, you
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: hold them in prison for as long as they're sentenced,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: and then they're back out in public and you hope
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: they don't commit crimes again. We've got one problem with
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Americans already. you know, that commit crimes. It's another thing
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: when you have somebody who's an illegal alien. If you
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: have somebody who's in our country illegally, you have the
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: perfect opportunity to safeguard your community. You don't have to
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: worry about how long the sentence is going to be.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Just eject his ass from the country so that he's
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: not harming the community again. Especially when you know that
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: this guy's a public safety threat. He keeps stabbing everybody. Well,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: good job, everybody. He just stabbed a 41-year-old American woman
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: to death in a bus stop in Virginia because of
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: what you did. That blood is on your hands. That's Democrats.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: That's Democrats. And Abigail Spanberger, the governor of the state, is...
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: right now doing executive orders, making it so that local
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: cops can't work with ICE to get these people out
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: of our country. Like they're rooting on the deaths of
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: American citizens. And then when they're asked about it by
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: reporters being completely polite, sincere and earnest about, you know, hey,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: what's your reaction to the fact that this is going
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: on on your watch? They don't want to say anything.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: They just they just laugh. They say they're too busy.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: They smile. They walk away. They treat that reporter and
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: by extension, all of the voters who care about that
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: issue with utter contempt. They're not here to engage with
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: you one on one. They're not treating this like a
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: legitimate issue. They're laughing at you as your neighbors are
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: being murdered in cold blood inside of bus stops in
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: northern Virginia. That's what's happening right now. It's utterly contemptible.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: And thank you to Nick Minnock. Stay on that story, brother.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: We'll keep promoting all your great work on it because
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: we've got to get to the bottom of this. We've
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: got to be able to have a way to hold
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: these people, I'm talking about the politicians, criminally accountable. People like,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: you know, bald peewee Herman, Steve Discano, you got to
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: hold him criminally accountable for what he's done to our country,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: allowing Americans to be killed that way. Let me end
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: on with a bit of a palate cleanser. Some sad,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: but some news about a very touching human being, a
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: totally motivational human being. Coaching legend Lou Holtz has passed
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: away at the age of 89 years old, a man
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: who turned the Notre Dame football program into something utterly legendary,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: utterly legendary. And he's just a totally, a huge motivator,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: a huge motivator. You know, one of the, the, um,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I think underappreciated blessings of death is that when someone
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: great passes away, it makes their greatness even more resonant
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: because you realize you're like, you don't have more opportunities
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: to listen to them say new things or to speak
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to them, to interview them. So I've been watching all
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: the Lou Holtz speeches and interviews over the last 24
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: hours and just loving all of it and thinking, man,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: what a huge inspiration. What a decent person. What a
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: great man. And, you know, Lou Holtz, they put a
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: statement up on his ex-account yesterday indicating that he had
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: And they said he was surrounded by family. He was
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: born on January 6th of 1937. He had a humble
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: upbringing in Follingsby, West Virginia. I saw he said once
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: What he meant was he was born not into wealth,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: but instead into the United States of America. That's what
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: he considered the silver spoon, to be born into this
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: great country with boundless possibilities. And he rose to such
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: incredible heights. The obit here on his account says, over
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: a remarkable five-decade career, he led college programs at William
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: & Mary, North Carolina State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, South Carolina.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: He transformed every team he inherited, and he captured the
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: 1988 National Championship with the fighting Irish. He was preceded
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: in his... in death by his beloved wife of more
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: grounded in faith, devotion, and service. They go on to
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: say that funeral arrangements, including a massive Christian burial, will
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: take place at the beautiful Basilica of the Sacred Heart,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: right there at the University of Notre Dame with that
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: golden dome. Details are being finalized from the Holtz family. Well,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: first and foremost, prayers for the Holtz family and the
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: wonderful Lou Holtz. What an amazing, impressive life. Lou Holtz
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: got involved with helping the president of the United States out.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: You remember back in 2020, that we had that big
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: digital convention that they had to hold. They held part
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: of it on the South Lawn, and the rest of
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: us had to watch it at home on our televisions.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: There was no stadium event this time. Lou Holtz got involved,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: and he scorched Joe Biden. Cut nine. Watch this.
• 59:47
  Speaker 6: Nobody has been a stronger advocate for the unborn than
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: President Trump. The Biden-Harris ticket is the most radically pro-abortion
• 59:58
  Speaker 6: campaign in history.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: They and other.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 6: Politicians are Catholics in name only and abandon innocent lives.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 6: President Trump protects those lives. I trust President Trump.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: President Trump loved Lou Holtz. President Trump, in fact, gave
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Lou Holtz, oftentimes a golf partner of the president, he
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: gave Lou Holtz the Presidential Medal of Freedom back in
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: 2020 in a touching and, again, motivational ceremony.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: Watch this.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: I get this award, I accept it humbly. And you
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 7: don't go in life saying, I want to win this award.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: You just wake up one day and it happens. But
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: this award, as great as it is, does not define
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: who Lou Holtz is. My beautiful family, my... Precious wife,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: my friends, you have determined who I am. I just
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: try to be a solid person. As I think you said,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: the two most important days of your life, one's the
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: day you're born, the other's the day you discover why
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 7: you're born. When we discover we're born, basically, we have
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: other people to overcome problems and difficulties that are going
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: to come our way. And I just cannot be prouder
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: of being part of this country. I cannot be prouder.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: to receive this award from an individual I respect and
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 7: admire as much as President Trump. Thank you.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: The President puts the Medal of Freedom around his neck.
• 1:01:41
