- 1:21Speaker 1: early edition. Before we talk about Romania, I want to
- 1:36Speaker 1: touch on Epstein. Today is apparently the day, the day
- 1:41Speaker 1: that we're told we're going to get some actual disclosure
- 1:44Speaker 1: on Jeffrey Epstein. Here was Pam Bondi last night.
- 1:49Speaker 2: You said last week that you have the Epstein files
- 1:51Speaker 2: on your desk. When can we see them and what's
- 1:54Speaker 2: taking so long to release them?
- 1:56Speaker 3: I do.
- 1:57Speaker 4: Jesse, there are well over, this will make you sick,
- 2:02Speaker 4: 200 victims, 200. So we have well over, over 250 actually.
- 2:08Speaker 4: So we have to make sure that their identity is
- 2:11Speaker 4: protected and their personal information. But other than that, I
- 2:17Speaker 4: think tomorrow, you know, the personal information of victims. Other
- 2:20Speaker 4: than that, I think tomorrow, Jesse, breaking news right now,
- 2:24Speaker 4: you're going to see some Epstein information being released by
- 2:27Speaker 4: my office.
- 2:29Speaker 3: What kind?
- 2:29Speaker 2: Are we going to see who was on the flights?
- 2:32Speaker 2: Are we going to see any evidence from what he recorded?
- 2:35Speaker 2: Because he had all of his homes wired with recording devices.
- 2:40Speaker 4: What you're going to see hopefully tomorrow is a lot
- 2:44Speaker 4: of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information.
- 2:48Speaker 4: But it's pretty sick what that man did.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Along with his co-defendant.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 2:55Speaker 1: And he had help.
- 2:56Speaker 5: That's for sure.
- 2:57Speaker 4: He sure did.
- 2:59Speaker 1: So we're going to see some Epstein information today. A
- 3:03Speaker 1: lot of flight locks. All right. But you want to
- 3:07Speaker 1: know what I'm a lot more interested in? Back in 2017,
- 3:12Speaker 1: a former U.S. attorney of the Southern District of Florida,
- 3:16Speaker 1: Alexander Acosta, was being considered for the position of Secretary
- 3:22Speaker 1: of Labor by the Trump admin. And he was being
- 3:25Speaker 1: questioned by Trump's transition team about why he gave Epstein
- 3:29Speaker 1: such a lenient 2007 plea deal. This is kind of
- 3:33Speaker 1: a reoccurring theme with Jeffrey Epstein. Up until the very end,
- 3:38Speaker 1: he seemed to just be getting away with everything, never
- 3:41Speaker 1: being held accountable, charges always dropped, the most lenient deals
- 3:44Speaker 1: of all time, no real consequences to any of his actions.
- 3:50Speaker 1: You know what Acosta allegedly said was the reason that
- 3:54Speaker 1: he gave that really lenient plea? 2007 plea deal. He said,
- 3:59Speaker 1: I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave
- 4:05Speaker 1: it alone. Now, this is alleged as a report of
- 4:07Speaker 1: the Daily Beast, and this has never been refuted, however,
- 4:11Speaker 1: by Acosta. But what does that mean, belonged to intelligence?
- 4:18Speaker 1: I want to know who was pulling the Jeffrey Epstein strings.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It's obvious to everyone that he was part of some
- 4:25Speaker 1: kind of sexual blackmail operation. The question is, for who?
- 4:31Speaker 1: Our intelligence? In other countries? In my opinion, it was
- 4:35Speaker 1: probably more than one. That's what we want to know.
- 4:40Speaker 1: The whole truth on Epstein would likely reveal a branch
- 4:43Speaker 1: of statecraft involving manipulation and criminal activity, the exploitation, specifically,
- 4:49Speaker 1: of minors in order to control powerful people. Epstein had
- 4:55Speaker 1: documented meetings with CIA Director William Burns in 2014 and
- 5:01Speaker 1: three scheduled encounters with Burns when he was Deputy Secretary
- 5:04Speaker 1: of State. Why is that? At the time, he was
- 5:09Speaker 1: a known sexual offender. What reason could he have had
- 5:11Speaker 1: to meet him? Beyond that, and what Acosta said, Jeffrey
- 5:16Speaker 1: Epstein's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is the daughter of Robert Maxwell.
- 5:21Speaker 1: who is widely believed, or was widely believed when he
- 5:25Speaker 1: was alive, to have been an Israeli intelligence asset. Former
- 5:29Speaker 1: Israeli spy Ari Ben-Minashi has actually asserted that Jeffrey Epstein
- 5:35Speaker 1: worked for the Mossad to blackmail influential figures, and Epstein
- 5:38Speaker 1: had frequent interactions with prominent Israeli figures like former Prime
- 5:43Speaker 1: Minister Ehud Barak. We don't just want to know which
- 5:49Speaker 1: rich and powerful people Epstein blackmailed. I mean, they did
- 5:54Speaker 1: bad things, but in the true sense of the word,
- 5:56Speaker 1: they really are probably victims of this blackmail ring. They
- 6:00Speaker 1: probably did bad things, but they are victims of the
- 6:04Speaker 1: blackmail ring. And we want to know who was behind Epstein,
- 6:07Speaker 1: who helped him skirt the law, and who was organizing
- 6:10Speaker 1: the blackmail ring. That's what we want to understand. And
- 6:13Speaker 1: that's what true transparency and disclosure will mean. So I
- 6:17Speaker 1: am looking forward to today. But We already kind of
- 6:21Speaker 1: know who is running in Epstein's circles. We already kind
- 6:24Speaker 1: of have that information. How many times was Jeffrey Epstein
- 6:27Speaker 1: going to the White House to meet with Bill Clinton?
- 6:29Speaker 1: How many times is Bill Clinton using Jeffrey Epstein's plane,
- 6:32Speaker 1: Lolita Express? There was a lot of people knowingly connected
- 6:37Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein. What we don't know are the facts
- 6:41Speaker 1: about who was behind Jeffrey Epstein. This is not some
- 6:44Speaker 1: guy who was just acting alone, for no reason whatsoever,
- 6:47Speaker 1: just like his own personal sick interest in getting dirt
- 6:50Speaker 1: on rich and powerful people. He's doing this for a reason.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And evidence of that is the way that Jeffrey Epstein
- 6:56Speaker 1: skirted the law for so many years. So that is
- 6:59Speaker 1: an essential component to disclosure. And unless we have that,
- 7:03Speaker 1: we do not have the full picture and we do
- 7:05Speaker 1: not have disclosure. So that's what I'm going to be
- 7:07Speaker 1: looking for today, as well as throughout this entire admin.
- 7:12Speaker 1: That is the promise that we were made. And that's
- 7:15Speaker 1: the promise that needs to be kept. All right, let's
- 7:17Speaker 1: talk about Romania. Last year, Romania canceled, or I guess annulled,
- 7:23Speaker 1: its presidential election because apparently there was Russian interference. And
- 7:28Speaker 1: how often, you guys, have we heard that term, Russian interference?
- 7:31Speaker 1: We've had that here in America. They discredit a certain
- 7:33Speaker 1: political candidate. His name is President Trump. He's in office
- 7:36Speaker 1: right now. So who won the first round of this
- 7:42Speaker 1: annulled election last year? A guy named Colleen Georgescu, who
- 7:47Speaker 1: happened to be a right-wing populist candidate and a critic
- 7:51Speaker 1: of the EU and an ally of President Trump. And J.D.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Vance mentioned what happened, addressed what happened to Georgescu explicitly
- 8:03Speaker 1: when he was in Munich lecturing Europeans about the way
- 8:07Speaker 1: they've completely descended into a liberalism. Here was J.D. Vance
- 8:10Speaker 1: on Romania's annulled election.
- 8:13Speaker 5: Now, we're at the point, of course, that the situation
- 8:15Speaker 5: has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight up
- 8:20Speaker 5: canceled the results of a presidential election based on the
- 8:24Speaker 5: flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from
- 8:29Speaker 5: its continental neighbors. Now, as I understand it, the argument
- 8:33Speaker 5: was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections. But
- 8:39Speaker 5: I'd ask my European friends to have some perspective. You
- 8:43Speaker 5: can believe it's wrong for Russia to buy social media
- 8:46Speaker 5: advertisements to influence your elections. We certainly do. You can
- 8:50Speaker 5: condemn it on the world stage even. But if your
- 8:53Speaker 5: democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars
- 8:56Speaker 5: of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn't
- 9:00Speaker 5: very strong to begin with.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Nobody claps because everybody's so mad at Jay. Literally like
- 9:07Speaker 1: one person's clapping in that room. But he's so right.
- 9:10Speaker 1: And he said that two weeks ago. So now what's
- 9:13Speaker 1: happened in Romania? Well, this populist right-wing presidential candidate, he
- 9:18Speaker 1: should be the president, the election wasn't old, George Escu
- 9:22Speaker 1: has been taken into custody on his way to submitting
- 9:25Speaker 1: his new candidacy for president. So they arrested him. The
- 9:29Speaker 1: Romanian government also raided 47 addresses of people and associations
- 9:33Speaker 1: connected to George Escu. Prosecutors said that the allegations against
- 9:37Speaker 1: them included, and this is a quote, False statements regarding
- 9:42Speaker 1: the sources of financing of an electoral campaign, illegal possession
- 9:46Speaker 1: of weapons, and initiating or establishing an organization with a fascist, racist,
- 9:52Speaker 1: or xenophobic character. Establishing an organization with a fascist, racist,
- 9:58Speaker 1: or xenophobic... It kind of sounds like... like Trumpism, right?
- 10:01Speaker 1: All the allegations against the Republican Party now. Oh, we're
- 10:03Speaker 1: going to just arrest President Trump and start raiding the
- 10:07Speaker 1: homes of all the people who are connected to him
- 10:09Speaker 1: because it's a racist and fascist and xenophobic organization. What
- 10:14Speaker 1: is that? I'll tell you what it is. It's thought crimes.
- 10:17Speaker 1: He's guilty and the people with him are guilty of
- 10:21Speaker 1: thought crimes in Romania. Georgescu said on Facebook that authorities
- 10:25Speaker 1: are looking to invent evidence to justify the theft of
- 10:29Speaker 1: the election and to do anything to block my new
- 10:32Speaker 1: candidacy for the presidency. And it really does seem that way.
- 10:35Speaker 1: According to former State Department official Mike Benz, the reason
- 10:39Speaker 1: European elites are so opposed to Georgescu is because he
- 10:42Speaker 1: would stop the ongoing construction of NATO's biggest military base
- 10:47Speaker 1: in Romania. This is this of course, would be a
- 10:51Speaker 1: massively antagonistic project toward Russia. And Dostoevsky has said that
- 10:57Speaker 1: he wants to decide what to do with this base
- 11:00Speaker 1: after talking to President Trump. So he's pro-Trump, anti-war with Russia,
- 11:05Speaker 1: and a Romanian nationalist. Do you see why they hate him?
- 11:10Speaker 1: Here's Mike Menz.
- 11:12Speaker 6: In order to win the war against Russia right now,
- 11:16Speaker 6: NATO believes we need to build the single largest military
- 11:18Speaker 6: base in all of NATO on the Black Sea coast
- 11:21Speaker 6: of Romania that points straight out in a line at
- 11:25Speaker 6: Crimea and move this base that's under construction is 100%
- 11:29Speaker 6: bigger than the biggest current NATO base in Europe. See,
- 11:35Speaker 6: there's an election going on in Romania right now. You
- 11:37Speaker 6: may have heard about this, the canceled election in Romania
- 11:41Speaker 6: with the Georgia skew, this right-wing populist figure who has
- 11:44Speaker 6: pledged neutrality in the war. He doesn't want to antagonize America,
- 11:49Speaker 6: but he does want to kill the Russians. He wants
- 11:51Speaker 6: to basically back NATO off and he doesn't want to
- 11:54Speaker 6: allow this military base to be made. Well, that is
- 11:57Speaker 6: a civil decision by the elected government of Romania decided
- 12:03Speaker 6: by the hearts and minds of the voters of the
- 12:06Speaker 6: Romanian people.
- 12:08Speaker 1: So NATO doesn't want Romania to make this decision about
- 12:10Speaker 1: what to do with this base for itself because NATO
- 12:15Speaker 1: is run by illiberal war criminals or hawks, I should say,
- 12:20Speaker 1: who are totally chill, egging on World War III. There's
- 12:24Speaker 1: no regard for human life. And George S.Q. 's presidency
- 12:30Speaker 1: threatens to derail NATO's plan to turn Romania into a
- 12:34Speaker 1: forward-operating launchpad against Moscow. Consulting Trump wrests control from the
- 12:40Speaker 1: NATO war hawks and puts Romania's sovereignty back in Romania's hands.
- 12:47Speaker 1: And understand that this isn't just about one man This
- 12:50Speaker 1: is a proxy battle and a larger conflict between populist
- 12:55Speaker 1: self-determination and a globalist agenda that's all too comfortable flirting
- 13:00Speaker 1: with World War III. And J.D. Vance gets this. This
- 13:04Speaker 1: is why, speaking in Munich two weeks ago, he did
- 13:06Speaker 1: not miss words. He framed Romania's election cancellation or annulment
- 13:13Speaker 1: as a betrayal of democratic values by a NATO-aligned elite
- 13:18Speaker 1: terrified of losing control. Now, with George Sku in custody,
- 13:22Speaker 1: the masks are off. NATO and its proxies aren't defending democracy.
- 13:26Speaker 1: They're strangling it to preserve the status quo, which is
- 13:31Speaker 1: their own power. And the irony is in this crusade
- 13:34Speaker 1: against Russian interference, oh, Russian interference, they've proved the European
- 13:40Speaker 1: elite's supposed commitment to freedom is conditional at best. All right,
- 13:44Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break. When we come back,
- 13:46Speaker 1: we have a lot more to talk about. including some
- 13:49Speaker 1: big news from Jake Tapper. Don't go anywhere. So you
- 13:53Speaker 1: guys know how our country was basically weekend at Bernie's
- 13:57Speaker 1: White House edition for four years, and the man running
- 14:00Speaker 1: the show, the man at the helm of it all,
- 14:02Speaker 1: was basically just a walking corpse. How was it not
- 14:07Speaker 1: widely known the president was in severe physical and cognitive decline? Well,
- 14:12Speaker 1: the entire machine of the corporate media shamelessly lied to
- 14:16Speaker 1: the American people. No, he's totally fine. That's a conspiracy.
- 14:19Speaker 1: He didn't just fall there. He just tripped. Like just crazy,
- 14:25Speaker 1: like crazy, crazy propaganda on behalf of the deep state
- 14:29Speaker 1: by the corporate media to lie to the American people
- 14:32Speaker 1: about the reality of Joe Biden's health. They told us
- 14:36Speaker 1: any assertions that Biden was in cognitive decline was somehow
- 14:41Speaker 1: this wild conspiracy. We saw him get lost on stage
- 14:44Speaker 1: with Obama. Obama had to lead him away. Remember that?
- 14:47Speaker 1: Right toward the end of the election? And the media
- 14:50Speaker 1: said that this was a cheap fake. It's not real.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Don't believe your eyes. The president didn't get lost on stage.
- 14:56Speaker 1: It looks like that, but that's just a cheap fake.
- 14:58Speaker 1: That's just a media narrative from the right wing, and
- 15:01Speaker 1: it's not real. One of the biggest purveyors of this
- 15:04Speaker 1: disinformation campaign, telling the American public to not believe their
- 15:08Speaker 1: own eyes on Joe Biden's mental and physical health, was CNN.
- 15:12Speaker 1: So you'd think all the CNN hosts would be issuing
- 15:16Speaker 1: apologies and bowing out of media for good after thoroughly
- 15:19Speaker 1: discrediting themselves this election cycle. And you would be wrong.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Because yesterday we learned that CNN's Jake Tapper is publishing
- 15:26Speaker 1: a book. A book that chronicles President Joe Biden's cognitive
- 15:30Speaker 1: decline and his scandalous cover-up. And this is after Jake
- 15:34Speaker 1: Tapper spent years participating and fueling and creating this cover-up.
- 15:40Speaker 1: The book he's writing with CNN contributor Alex Thompson is
- 15:43Speaker 1: titled Original Sin, President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His
- 15:48Speaker 1: Disastrous Choice to Run Again. And I'm going to read
- 15:50Speaker 1: you guys the description of this book because it's kind
- 15:55Speaker 1: of unbelievable. It reads, The irony is biting. In the
- 15:59Speaker 1: name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy,
- 16:04Speaker 1: Biden and his inner circle ensured it, tossing aside his
- 16:08Speaker 1: implicit promise to serve only one term Denying the existence
- 16:11Speaker 1: of health issues the nation had been watching for years,
- 16:14Speaker 1: dooming the Democrats to defeat, the decision to run again,
- 16:17Speaker 1: the original sin of this president led to a campaign
- 16:20Speaker 1: of denial and gaslighting, leading directly to Donald Trump's return
- 16:24Speaker 1: to power and all that has happened as a consequence.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Rarely does hubris meet nemesis more explosively. Wherever you stand
- 16:35Speaker 1: on the political spectrum, original sin is essential reading. So
- 16:41Speaker 1: what's happening here? What is the narrative here? Biden and
- 16:46Speaker 1: his inner circle, they're the ones who lied. Not us,
- 16:49Speaker 1: not Jake Tapper, not the media, not CNN. No, no, no, no, no.
- 16:52Speaker 1: We were victims. CNN was a victim of this lie
- 16:57Speaker 1: campaign to cover up Biden's mental acuity by Biden and
- 17:02Speaker 1: his inner circle. Now, the immediate reaction from me is
- 17:10Speaker 1: the audacity. Can you believe that Jake Tapper would try
- 17:14Speaker 1: to pull this? And he's going to say, well, I just,
- 17:18Speaker 1: I didn't know. I wasn't part of this coverup. I
- 17:20Speaker 1: had no idea. It was Biden and his inner circle.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Will you guys decide for yourselves whether Jake Tapper was
- 17:27Speaker 1: in on it? Take a listen.
- 17:29Speaker 2: I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake,
- 17:32Speaker 2: is very clearly a cognitive decline.
- 17:35Speaker 1: That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable to.
- 17:38Speaker 7: Watch somebody on stage search for questions.
- 17:42Speaker 1: And try and figure out an answer.
- 17:44Speaker 7: A cognitive decline.
- 17:45Speaker 1: But when you're trying to tell me that what I
- 17:47Speaker 1: was suggesting was a stutter, I have no idea, Joe.
- 17:50Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter, and I
- 17:52Speaker 7: think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
- 17:56Speaker 7: I would think that somebody in the Trump family would
- 17:59Speaker 7: be more sensitive to people who do not have medical
- 18:02Speaker 7: licenses diagnosing politicians from afar. Plenty of people have diagnosed
- 18:08Speaker 7: your father from afar, and I'm sure it offends you,
- 18:12Speaker 7: your father-in-law from afar. I'm sure it offends you. You
- 18:14Speaker 7: don't have any standing to say— I'm.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Not diagnosing him.
- 18:16Speaker 1: What I'm saying, Jake, is that we can clearly see— Okay,
- 18:21Speaker 1: so that's unbelievable. This man was in on the cover-up.
- 18:25Speaker 1: He lied to the people. He slammed Laura Trump for
- 18:31Speaker 1: saying what's observably true to anyone, that this guy has
- 18:35Speaker 1: a declining mental acuity. So he's guilty, and he's going
- 18:40Speaker 1: to write a book deflecting blame and help people stop
- 18:42Speaker 1: associating him with the lies. By the way, Tapper's co-author
- 18:46Speaker 1: also participated in the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline in
- 18:49Speaker 1: June 2017. of 2023, Thompson wrote a story for Axios
- 18:53Speaker 1: titled Biden's Weird Words. And this article reads, Biden's quirky
- 18:59Speaker 1: aphorisms are sometimes weaponized by Republicans to insinuate the 80-year-old
- 19:04Speaker 1: president is in mental decline. But Biden has been using
- 19:07Speaker 1: unique phrases for years. But even some of his aides
- 19:10Speaker 1: aren't exactly sure what he means by them. So that's
- 19:12Speaker 1: not a big deal, you guys. He's been doing it
- 19:14Speaker 1: for years. There's nothing to see here. Nothing to see here.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Total clowns. These guys are clowns. Here's Savannah Hernandez exposing
- 19:24Speaker 1: the mental decline cover-up months before any of this, confronting
- 19:32Speaker 1: none other than Jake Tapper himself. Take a listen. I'm
- 19:35Speaker 1: here with CNN.
- 19:36Speaker 8: I can't get very close to them because their security
- 19:39Speaker 8: guard is blocking me. But we've got Jake Tapper here.
- 19:41Speaker 4: We've got Chris Wallace.
- 19:42Speaker 8: We also have Dana Bash. Now, I've been asking them
- 19:46Speaker 8: why they have been lying to the American public about
- 19:49Speaker 8: the mental decline of Joe Biden. None of you guys
- 19:52Speaker 8: would like to respond to.
- 19:53Speaker 3: That at all?
- 19:54Speaker 1: No? Dana, you're a very respected journalist.
- 19:57Speaker 8: Jake, not so much respected, but people listen to you still.
- 20:01Speaker 8: Would any of you guys like to respond to Joe
- 20:04Speaker 8: Biden's cognitive decline and why you guys lied to the American.
- 20:07Speaker 1: People about it for so long? Can you please take your.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Hands off of me?
- 20:11Speaker 1: So there you guys go. That's the media.
- 20:13Speaker 8: They refuse to answer the questions of the American people.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Okay. I love that line. Michael woke up this morning.
- 20:20Speaker 1: He was like, I just, I was putting the show
- 20:23Speaker 1: together at 3 a.m. and I'm just laughing to myself
- 20:25Speaker 1: at this line. Jake, not so much respected, but people
- 20:28Speaker 1: still listen to you. She's just.
- 20:29Speaker 8: Not so much respected, but people listen to you still.
- 20:33Speaker 1: She's amazing. I love that girl. I love her. And
- 20:36Speaker 1: by the way, that was at the RNC. That was
- 20:38Speaker 1: the first time that I met Savannah Hernandez in person.
- 20:41Speaker 1: She is so flippin' brave. This is one of the
- 20:45Speaker 1: bravest journalists in the media in general, but especially in young,
- 20:51Speaker 1: new right media. Social anxiety... fierce Savannah Hernandez. She is incredible.
- 20:58Speaker 1: And by the way, on Biden's cognitive decline, watch this
- 21:01Speaker 1: video from yesterday of President Trump and Melania. And you
- 21:05Speaker 1: tell me, tell me if Joe Biden would have been
- 21:08Speaker 1: able to do what Trump just did in this video.
- 21:19Speaker 1: So if you're listening, you didn't get to see that. Melania,
- 21:22Speaker 1: she's obviously always in heels. And she slips a little bit.
- 21:26Speaker 1: And Trump kind of has his arm around her as
- 21:28Speaker 1: they're walking. She trips a little bit. And then Trump
- 21:30Speaker 1: just grabs her, picks her up, brings her in close
- 21:34Speaker 1: to him, makes sure she doesn't fall. Really actually a
- 21:37Speaker 1: very sweet moment. But can you imagine if this was
- 21:39Speaker 1: Joe and Jill? Joe would have fallen himself. Yeah, domino
- 21:44Speaker 1: effect for sure. It'd probably be more like Joe Biden
- 21:48Speaker 1: tripping and then Jill Biden not being able to do
- 21:49Speaker 1: anything about it. And by the way, Joe Biden did
- 21:53Speaker 1: fall multiple times as president. The alpha energy and the
- 21:59Speaker 1: control and just the difference between these two is so
- 22:04Speaker 1: stark and really just, I think, highlights how bad this
- 22:09Speaker 1: cover-up really was, which by the way, Jake Tapper was
- 22:12Speaker 1: a part of and a massive purveyor of. All right.
- 22:16Speaker 1: It's no secret Democrats are struggling to reach voters. And
- 22:22Speaker 1: Fortunately for Democrats, they have a wonderful solution to this
- 22:25Speaker 1: problem because California Governor Gavin Newsom, he has a plan. Yes,
- 22:29Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is preparing to launch a new podcast. And
- 22:33Speaker 1: I kid you not, this podcast is called This is
- 22:35Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. That's not a joke. This is actually the
- 22:39Speaker 1: name that he picked. I could not have dreamed of
- 22:42Speaker 1: a more cliche, cringe podcast name for Gavin Newsom to select.
- 22:46Speaker 1: But this is Gavin Newsom. That's what he selected. And
- 22:49Speaker 1: this podcast is aimed at reaching... MAGA voters. Yep. Here
- 22:54Speaker 1: is Governor Newsom announcing this podcast. We need to.
- 22:57Speaker 9: Change the conversation. And that's why I'm launching a new podcast.
- 23:01Speaker 9: And this is going to be anything but the ordinary
- 23:04Speaker 9: politician podcast. I'm going to be talking to people directly
- 23:08Speaker 9: that I disagree with, as well as people I look
- 23:11Speaker 9: up to. But more important than anything else, I'll be
- 23:13Speaker 9: talking directly with you, the listener. Real conversations. What's going
- 23:17Speaker 9: on with the cost of eggs? What are the real
- 23:20Speaker 9: impacts to you around tariffs? What power does an executive
- 23:24Speaker 9: order really have? And what's really going on inside of Doge? Look,
- 23:29Speaker 9: there's an onslaught of information that we take in. So
- 23:32Speaker 9: let's take it to the sources without the typical political mumbo-jumbo.
- 23:37Speaker 9: In the first few weeks, we're going to be sitting
- 23:38Speaker 9: down with some of the biggest leaders and architects in
- 23:41Speaker 9: the mega movement. This is Gavin Newsom.
- 23:47Speaker 1: First of all, if you're listening... This guy just looks
- 23:50Speaker 1: like a slimy snake oil sales. I don't know how
- 23:53Speaker 1: he pulls it off, but like he just looks like
- 23:56Speaker 1: somebody that you don't want to trust. Just like inherently
- 23:59Speaker 1: in his face. And why is he starting a podcast
- 24:04Speaker 1: when his state is in shambles? Human feces all over
- 24:10Speaker 1: California cities, homelessness, illegals, violence, wildfires, exorbitant cost of living prices.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Like you would think this guy would have a lot
- 24:17Speaker 1: on his plate. He should be busy, theoretically, running the
- 24:21Speaker 1: state of California. And he should have no time for
- 24:25Speaker 1: a podcast, but apparently he has time for a podcast.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Babylon Bee posted this yesterday. Gavin Newsom launches true crime
- 24:32Speaker 1: podcast about how he killed California. That's a podcast that
- 24:36Speaker 1: I might listen to because he did indeed kill California.
- 24:40Speaker 1: And it's such a symbol of how bad of a
- 24:43Speaker 1: governor he is that his state is in shambles. And
- 24:46Speaker 1: he's like, I know. I'm going to launch a podcast.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Because he probably doesn't have that much on his head.
- 24:50Speaker 1: That's why the state is in shambles. Because he's completely
- 24:56Speaker 1: ineffective as a governor, as a leader. I feel bad
- 25:02Speaker 1: for Californians. I did not, I would never have voted
- 25:05Speaker 1: for a podcaster who is courting MAGA voters and smiling
- 25:13Speaker 1: weirdly at the camera to run my state, especially while
- 25:18Speaker 1: California is in the situation it's in right now. I mean,
- 25:21Speaker 1: especially these wildfires, like, come on, dude. You have more
- 25:24Speaker 1: important things to be doing than launching a podcast. This
- 25:27Speaker 1: is Gavin Newsom. And I don't know, drop a comment.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Maybe you guys are going to watch this. Maybe you
- 25:32Speaker 1: MAGA supporters in the comments and viewers of this show
- 25:36Speaker 1: are going to tune into Gavin Newsom. I doubt it though.
- 25:40Speaker 1: We'll see. By the way, big changes are coming to
- 25:43Speaker 1: the Washington Post. Yesterday, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who happens
- 25:48Speaker 1: to own the Washington Post, shared a letter on X
- 25:52Speaker 1: that he sent to Washington Post staff. And I'm going
- 25:54Speaker 1: to read to you part of this letter. It says,
- 25:57Speaker 1: I'm writing to let you know about a change coming
- 25:59Speaker 1: to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing
- 26:02Speaker 1: every day in support and defense of two pillars, personal
- 26:06Speaker 1: liberties and free markets. We'll cover other topics too, of course,
- 26:10Speaker 1: but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be
- 26:12Speaker 1: published by others. There was a time when a newspaper,
- 26:15Speaker 1: especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen
- 26:18Speaker 1: it as a service to bring to the reader's doorstep
- 26:21Speaker 1: every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover
- 26:24Speaker 1: all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am
- 26:28Speaker 1: of America and for America and proud to be so.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Our country did not get here by being typical. And
- 26:35Speaker 1: a big part of America's success has been freedom in
- 26:38Speaker 1: the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical. It
- 26:42Speaker 1: minimizes coercion. And practically, it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.
- 26:49Speaker 1: And then Jeff Bezos goes on to say that the
- 26:52Speaker 1: publication is in search of a new opinion editor. And
- 26:56Speaker 1: he ends with saying, I'm confident that free markets and
- 26:59Speaker 1: personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these
- 27:02Speaker 1: viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and
- 27:05Speaker 1: news opinions. I'm excited for us together to fill that void.
- 27:10Speaker 1: So let's unpack what's happening here. Well, first of all,
- 27:14Speaker 1: let me just ask, how many of you think that
- 27:16Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos is a lover of personal liberties and free markets?
- 27:21Speaker 1: How many of you guys think that's true? Jeff Bezos
- 27:26Speaker 1: uses his monopoly power to crush small businesses, to steal
- 27:32Speaker 1: intellectual property, and to censor conservative voices, specifically Amazon and
- 27:39Speaker 1: has blacklisted numerous conservative books. By the way, Amazon is
- 27:44Speaker 1: also the largest provider of H-1B visas, which just brings
- 27:47Speaker 1: in tons of mass cheap foreign labor and forces Americans
- 27:54Speaker 1: to compete with this foreign labor that they actually can't
- 27:57Speaker 1: compete with, limits the opportunities for native-born Americans, as well
- 28:00Speaker 1: as devalues American labor. Jeff Bezos is like the king
- 28:05Speaker 1: of crony capitalism, like capitalism with zero conscience. That's Jeff Bezos.
- 28:10Speaker 1: And the guy doesn't like the free market. He likes
- 28:12Speaker 1: to be a monopolistic overlord. He is a modern day
- 28:16Speaker 1: robber baron. And like I said, just a few years ago,
- 28:20Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos was totally chill, actually he still is, with
- 28:23Speaker 1: blacklisting conservative books like Abigail Schreier's Irreversible Damage, The Transgender Craze,
- 28:28Speaker 1: Seducing Our Daughters, and Alex Berenson's book, unprecedented truths about
- 28:32Speaker 1: COVID-19 and lockdowns. That's not allowed on Amazon. Oh yeah, that's, yep.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Amazon also canceled Parler off of their servers because it
- 28:44Speaker 1: had violent content. It's just a platform, violent content. But
- 28:51Speaker 1: now that, but now this guy is saying that he's just,
- 28:57Speaker 1: he's just speaking of free markets and personal freedoms. What
- 29:01Speaker 1: do you think is more likely? That Jeff Bezos, the
- 29:05Speaker 1: robber baron speech policer, had a conversion? Or that Jeff
- 29:09Speaker 1: Bezos realized the most business savvy move in a Trump
- 29:13Speaker 1: admin during a mass rejection of the woke mind virus
- 29:17Speaker 1: is to virtue signal that he's one of us? I
- 29:21Speaker 1: think more likely the latter. And look, if the Washington
- 29:24Speaker 1: Post is going to stop posting garbage left-wing slop with
- 29:27Speaker 1: zero regard for the truth, okay, that's great. That's fine
- 29:30Speaker 1: by me. Love it. And it also signals to us
- 29:33Speaker 1: that the vibe shift is real. The vibe that we're
- 29:35Speaker 1: all sensing right now, it's real. We forced Jeff Bezos
- 29:38Speaker 1: to start capitulating. to the political right, frankly, just truth,
- 29:44Speaker 1: even if it's just for optics. But none of that
- 29:46Speaker 1: changes anything about who Jeff Bezos is, a modern robber baron.
- 29:53Speaker 1: And there is a vast amount of power concentrated in
- 29:55Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos's hands. He deliberately maintains his monopolies. by securing
- 30:00Speaker 1: government contracts, lobbying for regulations that harm competitors, and leveraging
- 30:05Speaker 1: taxpayer-funded subsidies. So don't get it twisted. Jeff Bezos still sucks.
- 30:11Speaker 1: He's not a great guy. He doesn't like the free market.
- 30:14Speaker 1: He likes crony capitalism. And frankly, I still think he's
- 30:19Speaker 1: the enemy of the people, even if he's trying to
- 30:21Speaker 1: capitulate to the political right in this time of social
- 30:24Speaker 1: change and, I think, a mass awakening against left-wing orthodoxy.
- 30:29Speaker 1: All right, let's hop over the pond for this next segment,
- 30:32Speaker 1: because yesterday, the Royal Family's ex-account posted this video of
- 30:37Speaker 1: King Charles and Camilla packing dates for a pre-Ramadan celebration
- 30:43Speaker 1: at a restaurant in London. Take a look. Okay.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't realize the king would be so fast.
- 30:51Speaker 8: You are packing dates faster than I can see them.
- 30:53Speaker 1: I'm probably just pleasing you. I know. Hee hee. Okay,
- 31:00Speaker 1: so a few things strike me about this. Why would
- 31:04Speaker 1: the head of the Church of England be celebrating Ramadan?
- 31:08Speaker 1: As coronation, King Charles took a sacred oath to uphold
- 31:11Speaker 1: the Christian faith. England is dedicated to Christ himself. The
- 31:16Speaker 1: English flag is St. George's Cross. And by the way, St.
- 31:20Speaker 1: George's Cross was famously used by crusaders taking back the
- 31:24Speaker 1: Holy Land for Christ from Islamic invaders. What's happening right
- 31:29Speaker 1: now in the UK is horrifying. Decades of mass immigration
- 31:34Speaker 1: from countries that do not share English tradition and values.
- 31:38Speaker 1: And it sparked mass social upheaval. Violence, crime, gangs of
- 31:43Speaker 1: rapists targeting British women, no-go zones, wage suppression, strained public resources,
- 31:49Speaker 1: the destruction of British identity. Just a few weeks ago,
- 31:55Speaker 1: we covered how the UK government to this day is
- 31:57Speaker 1: protecting Pakistani Muslim rape gangs, targeting working class British women
- 32:04Speaker 1: and girls, all because the government didn't want to seem
- 32:07Speaker 1: all too racist or anti-Pakistani, anti-Brown. There was a 2012
- 32:14Speaker 1: book published in the UK and it's called The Unknown Warriors.
- 32:20Speaker 1: And this book is filled with reflections written by British
- 32:24Speaker 1: World War II veterans decades after World War II. And
- 32:27Speaker 1: I'm going to read to you just a couple excerpts.
- 32:31Speaker 1: But understand that the sentiment that I'm about to read
- 32:34Speaker 1: to you is a reoccurring theme throughout this book. Again,
- 32:37Speaker 1: this was written by a World War II, by two,
- 32:41Speaker 1: I'm going to read you two excerpts, by two World
- 32:43Speaker 1: War II veterans in their 80s or 90s. Quote, I
- 32:49Speaker 1: do feel now though, that there is no longer a
- 32:52Speaker 1: Great Britain. Our country and what we fought Hitler for,
- 32:57Speaker 1: freedom and pride in our country, it is now just
- 33:00Speaker 1: a multicultural society who think they have no more right
- 33:03Speaker 1: to our social services as a right even those who
- 33:06Speaker 1: have never contributed to the system. They get better care
- 33:10Speaker 1: financially than us oldies who have paid our national insurance
- 33:14Speaker 1: and taxes all our life. So again, highlighting the restraints
- 33:19Speaker 1: on public services and the loss of identity by mass immigration.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I'm going to read you one more. This veteran says,
- 33:27Speaker 1: How do I feel about the country today? My two
- 33:30Speaker 1: uncles gave their lives for this country. My father's health
- 33:33Speaker 1: was broken from gas in World War I. I did
- 33:36Speaker 1: my little bit. My brother did his national service in
- 33:39Speaker 1: the Canal Zone in Egypt. What has been our reward?
- 33:43Speaker 1: Everything we fought for has been taken from us and
- 33:46Speaker 1: given to foreigners. We are now third-rate citizens in our
- 33:49Speaker 1: own country. Our enemies rule us from Brussels and we
- 33:53Speaker 1: are being colonized in this country. There is not one
- 33:56Speaker 1: political party that is prepared to stand up and fight
- 33:59Speaker 1: for our country and the indigenous population. The Holocaust is
- 34:03Speaker 1: now being carried out on us. What are my main regrets?
- 34:07Speaker 1: That I didn't fight for Hitler. At least he was
- 34:10Speaker 1: for his own people. Now, again, these are the words
- 34:14Speaker 1: of former veterans from the UK, people who put their
- 34:18Speaker 1: lives on the line. Fighting Hitler. Fighting. Fighting against fascism
- 34:24Speaker 1: and for freedom and the sovereignty of nations in Europe.
- 34:31Speaker 1: People who had friends and family that died for that cause.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Fighting in World War II. And their disillusioned beyond belief, clearly.
- 34:41Speaker 1: And these, I think, are the fruits of multiculturalism. I
- 34:46Speaker 1: don't think we can have social cohesion, particularly without a
- 34:48Speaker 1: shared religion underpinning morals in a society. That's why King
- 34:54Speaker 1: Charles' embrace of multiculturalism is so offensive. He's supposed to
- 34:58Speaker 1: be the head of the church, the Anglican church, and
- 35:03Speaker 1: he's celebrating Ramadan in the midst of an invasion of
- 35:06Speaker 1: migrants eroding the kingdom that he rules over. Charles infamously said,
- 35:11Speaker 1: instead of the title defender of the faith, that he'd
- 35:14Speaker 1: like to be the defender of faith because he wants
- 35:17Speaker 1: to be more, quote, inclusive. But can a nation be
- 35:21Speaker 1: socially cohesive without a shared moral framework? Vivek Ramaswamy thinks so.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Here's what Vivek said this week in one of his
- 35:28Speaker 1: first remarks announcing his candidacy for governor in Ohio.
- 35:33Speaker 10: Save for ancient Rome, the United States of America is
- 35:36Speaker 10: the nation in human history. that defines your identity based
- 35:40Speaker 10: on your citizenship and your civic allegiance to a set
- 35:43Speaker 10: of ideals. And I think that that debate's really what
- 35:45Speaker 10: lurks beneath the surface in the future direction of America
- 35:49Speaker 10: First is even what it means to be an American.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Vivek tweeted with that video this. He said, there are
- 35:57Speaker 1: two competing views of national identity. One, heritage, blood, soil. Two, ideals, allegiance, duty.
- 36:06Speaker 1: Most nations are built around number one. Ours is built
- 36:09Speaker 1: around two. That's what makes American exceptionalism possible. I remember
- 36:15Speaker 1: Vivek is saying all this in defense of comments that
- 36:17Speaker 1: he made before Christmas, where he was basically slammed by
- 36:21Speaker 1: the entire political right for saying that we need mass
- 36:25Speaker 1: immigration from places like India because native-born Americans are lazy.
- 36:29Speaker 1: And this mass immigration, like I talked about with Jeff
- 36:31Speaker 1: Bezos and H-1B visas, is what's suppressing wages in our country,
- 36:35Speaker 1: forcing American citizens to compete with people who are essentially
- 36:40Speaker 1: receiving slave wage labor, slave labor wages, and are not
- 36:46Speaker 1: really competitive with the Americans. So is it that Americans
- 36:49Speaker 1: are lazier that we're being undercut in a market that
- 36:51Speaker 1: should be set up to have American citizens, native-born Americans thrive?
- 36:58Speaker 1: But let's just, for now, get into Vivek's comments at
- 37:03Speaker 1: their face value. instead of going to the intentions of Vivek,
- 37:07Speaker 1: although I just laid out a little bit of what
- 37:09Speaker 1: they are. Are a set of ideals like democracy and
- 37:14Speaker 1: freedom enough to sustain and unify a civilization? That's the
- 37:18Speaker 1: question that we need to be asking. Are all people
- 37:20Speaker 1: from all parts of the world universally receptive to ideals
- 37:25Speaker 1: like self-government? Is that possible from everyone? Are all cultures
- 37:31Speaker 1: compatible with the brand of explicitly Christian-inspired self-government established by
- 37:37Speaker 1: our founding fathers? Everyday leftists are screeching into our ears
- 37:42Speaker 1: constantly about freedom. They believe in freedom. Freedom for you
- 37:46Speaker 1: to abort your unborn child or to undergo transgender surgeries.
- 37:51Speaker 1: But Christians say freedom is the ability to pursue the good. Clearly,
- 37:55Speaker 1: vague liberal ideals are not enough for consensus. And it
- 38:00Speaker 1: seems more that we've descended into moral chaos, largely thanks
- 38:04Speaker 1: to the mass de-Christianization of this country. And we also
- 38:11Speaker 1: seem to have less freedom in the wake of it.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Elon Musk tweeted this yesterday. He said, I got no
- 38:18Speaker 1: problem with trans adults. Just leave kids alone. Should we
- 38:25Speaker 1: as a society allow doctors to mutilate and chemically castrate people?
- 38:29Speaker 1: So it's okay to do that just as long as
- 38:32Speaker 1: they're adults. The freedom and democratic government envisioned by our
- 38:38Speaker 1: founders was for a reason meant only for a moral
- 38:41Speaker 1: and religious people. When freedom isn't paired with morality, evil thrives.
- 38:47Speaker 1: And all that's to say, if you don't like the
- 38:49Speaker 1: rot that is American culture and you're able to recognize
- 38:52Speaker 1: that you don't think it's a good thing, we can't
- 38:54Speaker 1: accept Vivek's vision for America. The ideals that he's sort
- 38:58Speaker 1: of vaguely putting out there, yeah, they're good to agree on.
- 39:01Speaker 1: But a nation isn't just a proposition. It's a people,
- 39:05Speaker 1: a place, a heritage. And Britain's a warning. Its leaders
- 39:10Speaker 1: traded their cultural soul for globalist platitudes, leaving World War
- 39:14Speaker 1: II vets wondering if they fought for nothing. America is
- 39:19Speaker 1: a real country, forged by real sacrifice, rooted in faith
- 39:23Speaker 1: and memory. And if we forget that, we lose everything.
- 39:28Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of Christianity. more than a dozen
- 39:31Speaker 1: prominent Christians, including Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, are set
- 39:36Speaker 1: to be included in President Donald Trump's National Garden of
- 39:40Speaker 1: American Heroes project. This is some news that I can
- 39:43Speaker 1: actually get excited about. National Garden of American Heroes project
- 39:47Speaker 1: is a garden and sculpture park of American heroes. Now,
- 39:50Speaker 1: Fulton Sheen touched millions of listeners on the radio and
- 39:55Speaker 1: viewers on television throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. This
- 39:59Speaker 1: guy was just so famous. I mean, he was amassing
- 40:02Speaker 1: millions and millions of viewers every single night with his programming.
- 40:06Speaker 1: And he was tackling so many issues that are pertinent
- 40:10Speaker 1: to what we're living through today, like even more relevant
- 40:14Speaker 1: today than they were when he was talking about them
- 40:16Speaker 1: in the 1950s and 40s. He tackled everything from moral
- 40:19Speaker 1: confusion to communism and even won an Emmy. Most importantly,
- 40:23Speaker 1: Fulton Sheen didn't simply preach. He gave America a mirror
- 40:27Speaker 1: to see its soul. I want you to listen to
- 40:34Speaker 1: what Fulton Sheen... Do we have that video, Mikey? We do.
- 40:38Speaker 1: Listen to Fulton Sheen preach about what was happening in
- 40:42Speaker 1: the 1950s at a moral level and then compare it
- 40:46Speaker 1: to what we're living through now.
- 40:49Speaker 3: And this is what we're in today. False compassion. False compassion,
- 40:58Speaker 3: which is gradually growing in this country, is a pity
- 41:04Speaker 3: that is shown not to the mugged, but to the mugger.
- 41:12Speaker 3: Not to the family of the murdered, but to the murderer.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Murderer.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Not to the woman who was raped, but to the rapist.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Not to the poor girl who's given a shot of dope,
- 41:33Speaker 3: but to the rich boy who happens to come from
- 41:35Speaker 3: a fine family. There are some judges, some in some
- 41:40Speaker 3: of our courts. There are some social workers, not all.
- 41:45Speaker 3: There are sob sisters. There are the social slobberers who
- 41:52Speaker 3: insist on compassion being shown to the muggers, to the
- 41:57Speaker 3: dope fiends, to the throat slashers, to the beatniks, to
- 42:02Speaker 3: the prostitutes, to the homosexuals, to the punks, so that
- 42:10Speaker 3: today the decent man is practically off the reservation.
- 42:14Speaker 1: I think false compassion is one of the greatest problems
- 42:21Speaker 1: that has festered for decades and become paramount in society now.
- 42:28Speaker 1: And I think false compassion is King Charles. He's articulating,
- 42:32Speaker 1: Fulton Sheen, exactly what we're living through. Literally Pakistani Muslim
- 42:36Speaker 1: rapists are pitied and defended by UK authorities over their
- 42:40Speaker 1: child victims. Compassion for people who do evil because that's
- 42:45Speaker 1: what's kind and inclusive in modern society. And I wish
- 42:49Speaker 1: we had a Fulton Sheen guiding Americans in 2025. I
- 42:52Speaker 1: think it's clear that when a nation abandons its moral foundation,
- 42:55Speaker 1: it risks unraveling the very fabric that holds it together,
- 42:58Speaker 1: whether it's King Charles's embrace of multiculturalism or the broader
- 43:01Speaker 1: globalist agenda. We're witnessing the consequences of prioritizing inclusion over
- 43:06Speaker 1: the preservation of identity and values. The veterans who fought
- 43:11Speaker 1: for their country in World War II didn't do so
- 43:13Speaker 1: to see Britain's identity fade into oblivion. They fought for
- 43:16Speaker 1: a free, sovereign country. people who had a real identity.
- 43:24Speaker 1: Their testimonies years later serve as a reminder that protecting
- 43:27Speaker 1: a nation's heritage isn't just about defending its borders. It
- 43:32Speaker 1: is about values, its culture, and its soul. In America,
- 43:37Speaker 1: we face really similar challenges. Challenges that demand we ask ourselves,
- 43:41Speaker 1: what kind of nation do we want to be? Are
- 43:44Speaker 1: we just a bunch of vague ideals? Is America just
- 43:46Speaker 1: an idea? Or are we real people with history, traditions,
- 43:51Speaker 1: and a moral compass? The freedom our founding fathers envisioned
- 43:56Speaker 1: was never intended to be an open-ended liberty that serves
- 44:00Speaker 1: every individual whim. True freedom can only thrive when it
- 44:05Speaker 1: is tethered to a shared sense of purpose and values.
- 44:08Speaker 1: If we fail to honor that, I think we risk
- 44:12Speaker 1: descending into moral chaos, more than we already have. Where
- 44:16Speaker 1: anything goes, And the very idea of the common good
- 44:20Speaker 1: is lost. And that's all I have for you guys today.

- 44:34Speaker 11: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
- 44:36Speaker 11: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
- 44:40Speaker 11: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 44:42Speaker 11: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 44:45Speaker 11: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
- 44:50Speaker 11: This is not a football game. If you vote, we
- 44:54Speaker 11: will win. It is not complicated.
