- 0:16Speaker 1: IQ dial up Democrat to actually debate the president of
- 0:19Speaker 1: the United States. Wouldn't that be fun? I think that'd
- 0:22Speaker 1: be so fun. We'll talk about that coming up. Some
- 0:25Speaker 1: more good news on the left's attempted election rigging in Virginia.
- 0:29Speaker 1: We heard from Ken Cuccinelli yesterday. And now there's some
- 0:32Speaker 1: wider legal agreement that, well, we may prevail in stopping
- 0:36Speaker 1: the left's election rigging. operational, we'll get into the details
- 0:40Speaker 1: on that coming up on the program as well. And

- 2:14Speaker 1: Kaylee's correct. Kaylee777 in the chat says, would everyone please
- 2:18Speaker 1: hit the like button? If you're watching us on Rumble
- 2:21Speaker 1: right now, just... Smash the like button, as they say
- 2:24Speaker 1: on the crazy YouTube videos. We ain't YouTube, we're Rumble. No,
- 2:27Speaker 1: gently touch the like button like you respect this show. Please,
- 2:32Speaker 1: would you mind? It'll help us a lot. I think
- 2:34Speaker 1: it has something to do with the algorithm and making
- 2:36Speaker 1: more people see how great this thing is. I appreciate
- 2:39Speaker 1: you for that. And if you're listening to us in
- 2:41Speaker 1: any capacity, please make sure to subscribe. It really helps us.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I saw Dan bragging about the, and rightfully so, the
- 2:48Speaker 1: Triton rankings for his podcast. He's like, once again, dominating it.
- 2:52Speaker 1: The guy's crushing it. And I asked Guy the other day,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I sent a message to our producer, Guy, because Guy
- 2:57Speaker 1: kind of runs a lot of the big picture questions
- 2:59Speaker 1: around here. I said, Guy, what's the deal? Like, I
- 3:01Speaker 1: love that Dan is dominating, but I'm looking at this list.
- 3:04Speaker 1: I don't know what, it's like a hundred people long,
- 3:05Speaker 1: a hundred different shows. And I go, who are these bums?
- 3:09Speaker 1: Half of these schmucks I've never even heard of. Where
- 3:12Speaker 1: are we on this list right now? We're not on
- 3:14Speaker 1: the big list. Guy has a suspicion. He thinks it
- 3:16Speaker 1: has to do with some of the way we distribute
- 3:19Speaker 1: the show. For instance, on Rumble, we're under the Bongino
- 3:22Speaker 1: Report banner, so he thinks that might have something to
- 3:25Speaker 1: do with a split between the audio feed and the
- 3:27Speaker 1: Rumble audience. It may be too diffuse for the metric
- 3:31Speaker 1: services to realize where we are. I'm pretty sure we're
- 3:34Speaker 1: crushing a lot of these dopes. I think. Maybe I'm wrong,
- 3:38Speaker 1: but whatever. And so far as you can help me out,
- 3:40Speaker 1: would you just please make sure you're subscribed wherever you
- 3:42Speaker 1: can subscribe? It helps us out with the numbers. And then,
- 3:44Speaker 1: of course, you know, people see that and they're like, whoa,
- 3:46Speaker 1: these guys have something going on. And then it's great.
- 3:48Speaker 1: It's great for us.
- 3:49Speaker 2: It really is.
- 3:50Speaker 1: So thank you. Thank you for making us as successful
- 3:52Speaker 1: as we've already been. I appreciate that. I want to
- 3:54Speaker 1: get to some big items today. And I want to
- 3:57Speaker 1: start with something that has me cracking up like crazy.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries. Yeah, no, Tim. Tim says I got to
- 4:03Speaker 1: go topless. No, Tim. Tim, settle down, Tim. We've talked
- 4:07Speaker 1: about this. The top is staying on. That's how we're
- 4:10Speaker 1: doing this show. You understand? It's a family show. All right.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries is low IQ. Hakeem Jeffries is a very
- 4:16Speaker 1: low IQ individual. We call him the dial-up Democrat for
- 4:19Speaker 1: a reason, because his brain operates on a very slow modem.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Not a quick dude. And so President Trump has been
- 4:25Speaker 1: calling him low IQ for a while. And this week,
- 4:28Speaker 1: that was very much on display as, you know, Hakeem
- 4:30Speaker 1: Jeffries is declaring war on the American people, saying he's
- 4:33Speaker 1: going to go to war against you everywhere, all over
- 4:36Speaker 1: the place. He's trying to go to war against Ron DeSantis. Like,
- 4:40Speaker 1: you know, Ron DeSantis could beat him in like simple addition.
- 4:44Speaker 1: It's like not, this would not be a big challenge.
- 4:46Speaker 1: And President Trump this week said, you know, look, Hakeem
- 4:50Speaker 1: Jeffries is a ridiculous person. He's a low IQ person.
- 4:52Speaker 1: So some reporter, some instigator went to the Congress yesterday,
- 4:57Speaker 1: went to the press conference and said to Hakeem Jeffries, hey,
- 5:01Speaker 1: President Trump said, you're low IQ. You're low IQ. And
- 5:06Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries goes, oh, yeah? And listen to his very
- 5:10Speaker 1: slowly delivered because he doesn't have a lot of intelligence message.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Here is Hakeem Jeffries yesterday.
- 5:17Speaker 3: There is no time pressure in negotiations with Iran in
- 5:20Speaker 3: a time frame for ending the war, even after extending
- 5:24Speaker 3: the CISR deadline. In the meantime, he launched personal attacks
- 5:29Speaker 3: against you, calling you low IQ and labeling your criticism
- 5:33Speaker 3: as treasonous. How do you respond to the substance of
- 5:39Speaker 3: his foreign policy approach and these personal attacks against you?
- 5:43Speaker 4: If Donald Trump wants to debate me anytime, anyplace, in
- 5:47Speaker 4: the Oval Office, publicly, on camera, I'd be happy to
- 5:50Speaker 4: do it. And we'll see who's intellectually superior in that
- 5:58Speaker 4: type of contest. I've got no doubts as to what
- 6:02Speaker 4: the outcome would be. And it's extraordinary to me that
- 6:06Speaker 4: Donald Trump keeps recycling this low IQ insult. This is
- 6:13Speaker 4: from the dumbest president ever to sit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
- 6:20Speaker 4: And there's not even a close second. Instead of insulting
- 6:24Speaker 4: people all over the world, and I'm not really worried
- 6:28Speaker 4: about what he has to say about me.
- 6:29Speaker 1: He's so slow.
- 6:31Speaker 4: But he's insulting our allies. He's worsening the United States'
- 6:36Speaker 4: security posture in doing so. He's fighting with his own
- 6:41Speaker 4: MAGA base. The economy is collapsing. It's a train wreck,
- 6:49Speaker 4: which is why it's gonna take Democrats to get things
- 6:52Speaker 4: back on track.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Yeah. The Democrats, the party of getting things back on track.
- 6:59Speaker 1: They're the party of stability and peace. And law enforcement.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I love that clip. What a great clip to start
- 7:08Speaker 1: us on a Friday. Hakeem Jeffries challenging President Trump to
- 7:12Speaker 1: a battle of wits. Well, sir, you shouldn't enter that
- 7:16Speaker 1: battle unarmed. I love that. I do think that wouldn't
- 7:20Speaker 1: that be great if they debated? That'd be pretty funny.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I love how he's like, no, I'm not dumb. You're dumb. OK,
- 7:26Speaker 1: that's yeah, good. That's a great debate. Well, way to go.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Way to go, Hakeem Jeffries. Is that really the most
- 7:32Speaker 1: impressive guy that they have? I saw that earlier this week,
- 7:36Speaker 1: one of the big DC publications, they had an anonymous
- 7:39Speaker 1: quote from a Democrat who claimed that Hakeem Jeffries is, quote,
- 7:42Speaker 1: secretly a badass. Yeah, that's a pretty well-kept secret. That man,
- 7:49Speaker 1: his badassery is deeply in the closet. This guy is
- 7:53Speaker 1: not impressive. He's pathetic, actually. And you know what's going
- 7:56Speaker 1: on in the House. Nancy Pelosi is still pulling the strings.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is still calling the shots. Nancy Pelosi is
- 8:02Speaker 1: just using Hakeem Jeffries as her puppet. Another, you know,
- 8:07Speaker 1: Joe Biden, somebody who doesn't really have the mental faculties
- 8:10Speaker 1: to do the job with some sinister force guiding all
- 8:13Speaker 1: of their actions for their own power advantages, which is
- 8:16Speaker 1: what Nancy Pelosi is doing. That's why Nancy Pelosi just
- 8:19Speaker 1: threw Eric Swalwell out of the race in California and
- 8:22Speaker 1: pretended like she had nothing to do with it. Even
- 8:25Speaker 1: an interviewer asked her, like, hey, you know, didn't you,
- 8:27Speaker 1: did you have a hand in this? And she's like, well,
- 8:29Speaker 1: it was his decision. It was his decision. It was
- 8:32Speaker 1: his decision. You told him to get out of the race.
- 8:35Speaker 1: You opened up the blackmail file to destroy him. You
- 8:37Speaker 1: people are awful. You are awful people. And so, yeah,
- 8:42Speaker 1: would I want to see Hakeem Jeffries debate Donald Trump? Yes,
- 8:45Speaker 1: just for my own hilarity, only for my own hilarity,
- 8:48Speaker 1: only for my own enjoyment. That's exactly why I'd want
- 8:50Speaker 1: to see that happen. You know what should happen, actually?
- 8:52Speaker 1: President Trump should invite him to the Oval Office, have
- 8:57Speaker 1: him over, and then just give him the Chuck and
- 8:59Speaker 1: Nancy treatment. You know what I mean? Remember that? When
- 9:01Speaker 1: he just has the cameras on, just invite all of
- 9:03Speaker 1: the television cameras in, have Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries
- 9:07Speaker 1: sit there, and then Donald Trump can read them the
- 9:09Speaker 1: riot act. I think that'd be... Perfect television. And great
- 9:13Speaker 1: ahead of the midterms. I think it'd be absolutely wonderful
- 9:15Speaker 1: ahead of the midterms. Just show how ridiculous these people are.
- 9:18Speaker 5: Sure.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Yeah, do your debate, son. That'd be wonderful.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit more about what the left
- 9:24Speaker 1: is up to this week. The big election rigging operation
- 9:26Speaker 1: in Virginia, they thought it went so well. They convinced
- 9:29Speaker 1: all of these compliant lefties to jump in on voting
- 9:33Speaker 1: yes to steal four congressional seats in Virginia. But, you know,
- 9:37Speaker 1: we talked yesterday with Ken Cuccinelli. of course, the former
- 9:41Speaker 1: Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia. And boy, wasn't
- 9:44Speaker 1: that great? Those of you who were with me yesterday,
- 9:47Speaker 1: you got a chance to see his expert legal analysis.
- 9:50Speaker 1: And as he said during the interview, he's like, look,
- 9:51Speaker 1: I'm not a guy who comes into anything with rose-colored glasses.
- 9:55Speaker 1: He goes, Vince, you've known me for years now.
- 9:57Speaker 3: And it's true.
- 9:57Speaker 1: I've known Ken Cuccinelli for a long time. And I've
- 9:59Speaker 1: always found him to be a pretty straight shooter. Yes,
- 10:02Speaker 1: he wants Republicans to win things, but I've never found
- 10:05Speaker 1: him to just be like making stuff up, wish casting
- 10:08Speaker 1: that is going to happen. He said yesterday, he goes,
- 10:10Speaker 1: if I could bet on this, if I was a
- 10:12Speaker 1: betting man, I'd bet it all on the fact that
- 10:15Speaker 1: this thing's going to be thrown out by mid-May. that
- 10:17Speaker 1: the Supreme Court in Virginia, which has four Republican appointees
- 10:23Speaker 1: to the three Democrats, is going to throw it out.
- 10:26Speaker 1: And he goes, and I think it's going to be
- 10:27Speaker 1: a 7-0 decision. That's how crystal clear the violations of
- 10:31Speaker 1: the law and the Constitution were in Virginia. this week.
- 10:34Speaker 1: This thing should have never happened. But since it did,
- 10:38Speaker 1: it's about to be thrown out. And for those of
- 10:40Speaker 1: you who are curious, like, well, why didn't the lawsuit
- 10:42Speaker 1: get filed before the election? Why do we have to
- 10:44Speaker 1: wait until after? Why did Republicans take so long? Good news.
- 10:48Speaker 1: They didn't take so long. They did it before the election.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Everything was on ice pending the results. And because the
- 10:54Speaker 1: election came through with the yes vote to rig the election, boom,
- 10:58Speaker 1: we're off to the races. Now the courts are moving
- 11:00Speaker 1: forward with the process. They were waiting to see if
- 11:02Speaker 1: it was going to be a yes vote. There it is,
- 11:05Speaker 1: and now they're going to try and redress the damage.
- 11:07Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. So we got it in two places. Tazewell,
- 11:10Speaker 1: that's where we had that big ruling in Tazewell, Virginia yesterday,
- 11:12Speaker 1: there two days ago, saying it's completely unconstitutional. The other spot,
- 11:16Speaker 1: the Supreme Court of Virginia, where there are going to
- 11:19Speaker 1: be arguments coming up on Monday morning on this very
- 11:22Speaker 1: important case. Things are moving with alacrity very quickly right now.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And that's very good news. And so if what Ken
- 11:31Speaker 1: Cuccinelli is promising here comes to pass, or what he
- 11:34Speaker 1: expects to come to pass, not outright promising, but very
- 11:36Speaker 1: much expects to come to pass, does, that'll happen very soon.
- 11:41Speaker 1: And we'll have thwarted one of the most consequential election
- 11:44Speaker 1: rigging the Democrats even devised this cycle. That's great. In fact,
- 11:48Speaker 1: if for any reason you think that Ken's judgment is
- 11:52Speaker 1: filtered through a partisan lens, well, then let's go check
- 11:55Speaker 1: in on CNN. Here's their legal experts. Eli Honig delivering
- 11:59Speaker 1: what is bad news to that limited size audience. Watch.
- 12:03Speaker 5: I do think he has a chance of success.
- 12:04Speaker 1: This battle is not over.
- 12:06Speaker 5: So if you look at their various challenges here brought
- 12:08Speaker 5: by the RNC and other Republican entities, They're basically making
- 12:12Speaker 5: two types of challenges here.
- 12:14Speaker 1: One is substantive.
- 12:15Speaker 5: So they're arguing that the way the question was phrased
- 12:18Speaker 5: on the ballot was unfair, was misleading. And there is
- 12:22Speaker 5: some legitimacy to that. I mean, the question asks, do
- 12:24Speaker 5: you want to, quote, restore fairness to the process? Who's
- 12:28Speaker 5: going to realistically vote no on that? I mean, a
- 12:29Speaker 5: lot of people did, but it's slanted. I don't know
- 12:32Speaker 5: if it's slanted enough to win the legal challenge. But
- 12:35Speaker 5: the second category is the procedural challenges. And that's where
- 12:38Speaker 5: I think the challengers have some real heft behind their arguments.
- 12:42Speaker 5: For example, one of the laws says if you're going
- 12:44Speaker 5: to do this, the Virginia General Assembly has to pass
- 12:47Speaker 5: a law, and then voting, the referendum, can't start for
- 12:50Speaker 5: 90 days after the law is passed. Here, we're not
- 12:54Speaker 5: even 90 days out now, and the voting's done. So
- 12:56Speaker 5: I don't know how Virginia is going to defend that.
- 12:59Speaker 5: There's another procedural quirk, I guess, that says the way
- 13:02Speaker 5: you have to do this is the Virginia General Assembly
- 13:04Speaker 5: has to pass a law, then you need to have
- 13:06Speaker 5: an intervening election, then a second General Assembly needs to
- 13:10Speaker 5: pass the law again. And the argument here that you're
- 13:13Speaker 5: hearing from the defenders is, well, the 2025 governor election,
- 13:16Speaker 5: that's the intervening election. The problem is that overlapped with
- 13:20Speaker 5: the first vote. So there's some procedural nuance here that
- 13:24Speaker 5: I think is going to be a real problem for
- 13:26Speaker 5: people defending this outcome. And I think it's going to
- 13:29Speaker 5: give the Republicans a chance to actually get it knocked
- 13:30Speaker 5: down on the legal challenges.
- 13:33Speaker 1: It's not merely nuance. It's devastating, ship-sinking holes in the
- 13:40Speaker 1: argument that the left is even attempting to mount here.
- 13:42Speaker 1: They have no basis, no basis, no support in the
- 13:47Speaker 1: state constitution for this. It's theft, pure and simple. One
- 13:52Speaker 1: thing that was left out of Eli Honig's analysis, maybe
- 13:54Speaker 1: he doesn't know it, maybe he was concealing it, I
- 13:56Speaker 1: don't know. But remember, I asked Ken Cuccinelli yesterday, about
- 14:01Speaker 1: how the districts are drawn. And Ken Cuccinelli said, even
- 14:05Speaker 1: that is a matter of constitutional precedent here, because in Virginia,
- 14:12Speaker 1: they have to be contained and contiguous. These have to
- 14:14Speaker 1: be like real communities. And that's not what the map is.
- 14:17Speaker 1: The map is just sort of like a fan of
- 14:22Speaker 1: left-wing power emanating entirely from Northern Virginia. And so in
- 14:28Speaker 1: other words, If that doesn't violate the state's constitutional provision,
- 14:33Speaker 1: nothing will. I mean, nothing will. That element of the
- 14:36Speaker 1: state constitution is meaningless if this map that Democrats are
- 14:40Speaker 1: trying to introduce isn't disqualified based on that provision. So
- 14:45Speaker 1: we'll keep our eyes on it. But, you know, I
- 14:47Speaker 1: was admittedly kind of discouraged by, of course, the results
- 14:51Speaker 1: on Tuesday, especially because you and I had worked so
- 14:54Speaker 1: hard for a better result. And then we see what
- 14:57Speaker 1: happens and we go, okay, well, that's crap. What do
- 14:59Speaker 1: we do now? How do we navigate out of this? Well,
- 15:02Speaker 1: one path out of it clearly is to defeat them
- 15:05Speaker 1: in court right now. And so that's underway. We'll keep
- 15:09Speaker 1: our eyes on it, especially on Monday as that argument
- 15:11Speaker 1: gets underway. I imagine by Tuesday, hopefully I've got some
- 15:15Speaker 1: good news to share with you about how the court
- 15:18Speaker 1: handled this case. So we'll keep watching it. Another piece
- 15:22Speaker 1: of this is the way the United States Senate handles
- 15:24Speaker 1: election integrity. We've got to get the SAVE Act passed.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Should I gavel in? I should gavel in. It's the
- 15:30Speaker 1: SAVE Act, ladies and gentlemen. We gavel into the SAVE
- 15:33Speaker 1: Act as we talk about this. Of course, the SAVE
- 15:35Speaker 1: America Act, anytime we talk about it, we have to
- 15:38Speaker 1: keep the meeting minutes. That's what producer Jim Verde does
- 15:40Speaker 1: for us with the big national radio show. But here's
- 15:44Speaker 1: the thing. Yesterday in the United States Senate, there was
- 15:49Speaker 1: an effort. There was an effort to put the SAVE
- 15:53Speaker 1: America Act into... The reconciliation package. The reconciliation package. This
- 16:01Speaker 1: would be the big funding bill. It was a chaotic moment.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I'll explain why here in just a moment as we
- 16:09Speaker 1: dive further into the Save America Act and this edition
- 16:12Speaker 1: of Vince. Great to have you with us as always.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I want to thank Fast Growing Trees for being a

- 17:48Speaker 1: Thank you to Fast Growing Trees. Let's see here. Okay.
- 17:53Speaker 1: So yesterday, Save America Act. I warned you about this.
- 17:58Speaker 1: I told you what was going to happen to begin with,
- 18:01Speaker 1: which is that in their effort to try and pull
- 18:05Speaker 1: a fast one on you, to just pretend like they're
- 18:07Speaker 1: seriously going to pass the Save America Act, the United
- 18:11Speaker 1: States Senate was looking for Creative diffusion, a way to
- 18:16Speaker 1: diffuse your concern and to make you go away. You know,
- 18:21Speaker 1: this is like you ever see like like some poor
- 18:24Speaker 1: like store clerk having to deal with some angry disgruntled
- 18:27Speaker 1: customers just being super annoying and in particular. And you're
- 18:31Speaker 1: just waiting in line and you're like, I just can't
- 18:32Speaker 1: wait for this person to leave. And the clerk's just
- 18:34Speaker 1: figuring out a way to diffuse the conversation so they
- 18:36Speaker 1: finally do leave. This is kind of the way John
- 18:39Speaker 1: Thune is treating us, except our grievance is legitimate. We
- 18:43Speaker 1: just want integrity to our elections. That's all we're asking for.
- 18:46Speaker 1: And so what Republicans in the Senate devised is this plan.
- 18:49Speaker 1: They said, well, how about this? Instead of giving you legislation,
- 18:52Speaker 1: we'll just put it into the reconciliation bill. That works, right? No,
- 18:57Speaker 1: it doesn't work. Michael Lee has already told us it
- 18:59Speaker 1: doesn't work. It doesn't work because it has to be
- 19:01Speaker 1: budgetary to be in the reconciliation bill. This is a policy.
- 19:05Speaker 1: This is about securing our elections. It doesn't have anything
- 19:07Speaker 1: to do with dollars going out the door. Not anything
- 19:12Speaker 1: meaningful anyway. Not meaningful enough to include in reconciliation. It
- 19:15Speaker 1: would be excluded. It The news yesterday is it didn't
- 19:21Speaker 1: even get that far. And why didn't it get that far? Well,
- 19:24Speaker 1: when it came up for a vote to be included
- 19:26Speaker 1: in reconciliation, it was defeated by four of the usual suspects.
- 19:33Speaker 1: It was defeated by Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski
- 19:39Speaker 1: of Alaska, Mitch McConnell. You know him, old Mitch the
- 19:46Speaker 1: Glitch McConnell of Kentucky. He voted against this yesterday. And then,
- 19:52Speaker 1: of course, there's Thumbelina. Good old Thumbelina, Thumbtillis, North Carolina,
- 19:59Speaker 1: destined for retirement. You guys know what he looks like.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Here he is. Look at him on screen. There's Thumbelina.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Thumbelina yesterday voted against including the Save America Act and
- 20:10Speaker 1: the reconciliation package. Didn't even give it the old college try.
- 20:13Speaker 1: And as I told you, maybe we could try it.
- 20:17Speaker 1: We could try it. If you tell us it's going
- 20:20Speaker 1: to work, prove it, try and pass it, see if
- 20:22Speaker 1: we can get it. It doesn't even get that far
- 20:26Speaker 1: because Thumbelina gets in the way because he hates Donald Trump.
- 20:29Speaker 1: He hates Trump's voters. He hates everything that we represent
- 20:32Speaker 1: and stand for. And he can't wait to continue to
- 20:35Speaker 1: drive more knives into our agenda. before he leaves office.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Right now, he's standing directly in the way of President
- 20:43Speaker 1: Trump's Federal Reserve nominee because he doesn't want the Justice
- 20:47Speaker 1: Department investigating Jerome Powell. I'm sorry, are you part of
- 20:52Speaker 1: the Justice Department? Are you aware of the evidence against
- 20:55Speaker 1: Jerome Powell? Or are you just making it up? Because
- 20:58Speaker 1: it kind of sounds like, correct me if I'm wrong,
- 21:00Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, it kind of sounds like Thumbelina is
- 21:04Speaker 1: blackmailing The Trump administration, you don't get to have a
- 21:09Speaker 1: Federal Reserve chairman unless you end a criminal investigation? That's
- 21:16Speaker 1: what Thumbelina's saying? Up yours, buddy. It's just, this guy
- 21:22Speaker 1: is so completely out of control. And he's supposed to
- 21:25Speaker 1: be on our side. He's not. He's not on our side.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Sorry about your eyes, Caroline. My apologies. I just had
- 21:31Speaker 1: to show you. That's him. There he is. in his
- 21:34Speaker 1: customary outfit, Thumbelina. For those of you watching Rumble.com slash Vince,
- 21:38Speaker 1: you can see him there. He's got his princess crown
- 21:40Speaker 1: on and his fairy wings. Yeah, his wings are nice,
- 21:42Speaker 1: Data Martian. I totally agree. That's the one thing that's
- 21:46Speaker 1: put together on Thumbelina. Those wings, they are on point.
- 21:50Speaker 1: They are absolutely on point. He's a psychopath. He's a psychopath.
- 21:55Speaker 1: So these four all voted against what Fox reported as
- 22:01Speaker 1: a modified version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility, America Act,
- 22:05Speaker 1: SAVE Act, early Thursday morning. Their defection came during the
- 22:09Speaker 1: Senate's marathon voterama, where lawmakers could force votes on any
- 22:13Speaker 1: number of amendments, regardless of whether they mesh with the
- 22:16Speaker 1: underlying budget blueprint. The amendment's 48 to 50 failure crystallized
- 22:21Speaker 1: what several Republicans had warned for weeks before launching a
- 22:24Speaker 1: quasi-floor takeover to debate the Save America Act last month,
- 22:27Speaker 1: that it didn't have the support among our own Republicans.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Among our own Republicans. The House Freedom Caucus, which has
- 22:37Speaker 1: been pretty aggressive and wonderful on this subject, they posted
- 22:42Speaker 1: the following about Thumbelina and company. They said, today, four
- 22:47Speaker 1: GOP senators voted down, including the Save America Act, as
- 22:51Speaker 1: a part of a filibuster-proof reconciliation bill, despite weeks ago
- 22:55Speaker 1: floating this very idea. You see the fun game that
- 22:59Speaker 1: they play? So the establishment Republicans float the idea of
- 23:02Speaker 1: putting it into reconciliation, and then they kill it during
- 23:07Speaker 1: the reconciliation process. How wonderful. While Democrats rig Virginia's map
- 23:12Speaker 1: and undermine election integrity, what are Republicans doing to save
- 23:17Speaker 1: our republic. Well, these guys are doing nothing. And every
- 23:23Speaker 1: one of them should leave. I guess the sole exception
- 23:25Speaker 1: here is everyone kind of makes their peace with the
- 23:26Speaker 1: fact that we get Susan Collins, an unusual situation where
- 23:31Speaker 1: you've got this Republican senator from Maine, an incumbent. So
- 23:34Speaker 1: everyone sort of holds their nose about that fact. And
- 23:38Speaker 1: I get the political tactics of it. I'm not I'm
- 23:41Speaker 1: not ignoring those. That means something to me. But the
- 23:44Speaker 1: rest of these guys, easy call. Retire. Phyllis is on
- 23:48Speaker 1: the way out. Thumbelina is on the way out. You've
- 23:51Speaker 1: got McConnell retiring on the way out. On the way out.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Let's replace him with Nate Morris, shall we? Let's put
- 23:59Speaker 1: somebody in there who actually loves the country, is going
- 24:01Speaker 1: to fight like hell for it. And then Murkowski. Murkowski,
- 24:07Speaker 1: the ranked choice voting pick in Alaska, What a scam.
- 24:12Speaker 1: What a complete scam. As these guys fight against even
- 24:15Speaker 1: the basics that we need. So if you're ever wondering like, hey,
- 24:19Speaker 1: who are the targets here? Who are the guys who
- 24:21Speaker 1: are in the way? Well, you're looking at four of them.
- 24:24Speaker 1: And then, of course, you can't forget John Thune himself,
- 24:27Speaker 1: who keeps acting like he's a play-by-play announcer and not
- 24:29Speaker 1: the coach. He's like, well, we just don't have the votes.
- 24:32Speaker 1: What do you mean you just don't have the votes?
- 24:34Speaker 1: Tell us about your effort to get them. Tell us.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Report back to me. Tell me what you did. to
- 24:40Speaker 1: try and get those votes and then go back and
- 24:43Speaker 1: try some more. I'm just asking for the bare minimum,
- 24:47Speaker 1: the bare minimum. President Trump still wants it, by the way.
- 24:49Speaker 1: He still wants the Save America Act. He would like
- 24:53Speaker 1: to see this thing passed. Here he is yesterday. Take
- 24:58Speaker 1: a look at this. This is President Trump yesterday being
- 25:01Speaker 1: asked about the Save America Act and whether or not
- 25:03Speaker 1: he does want to see it included in reconciliation or
- 25:05Speaker 1: anything else. Here he is talking about this yesterday. Watch.
- 25:10Speaker 5: Would you support them expanding that to include other tax
- 25:12Speaker 5: and defense?
- 25:13Speaker 6: Well, I'd love to see one thing. You know what
- 25:16Speaker 6: that is? Save America.
- 25:19Speaker 2: I'd love to say the Save America Act, which is
- 25:22Speaker 2: voter ID, which is proof of citizenship, which is, by
- 25:27Speaker 2: the way, no mail-in voting, which is a fraud.
- 25:31Speaker 6: Anytime you have mail-in voting, you're going to have a
- 25:32Speaker 6: fraudulent election.
- 25:34Speaker 2: But... I'd leave it for military, you know, mail-in voting
- 25:38Speaker 2: for military, for people that are sick, for people that
- 25:41Speaker 2: are traveling, like business or whatever, different things. But disability,
- 25:45Speaker 2: where they have a problem. But no mail-in ballots. We
- 25:50Speaker 2: added a couple of things. No men playing in women's sports.
- 25:53Speaker 2: It's unrelated, but it's a popular thing. And no transgender
- 25:58Speaker 2: mutilization of our children.
- 26:00Speaker 6: So that's it.
- 26:02Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. We need the Save America Act.
- 26:05Speaker 1: The president not giving up on this. Remember, you know,
- 26:09Speaker 1: there's there's all week long. You and I have been
- 26:12Speaker 1: seeing reports that John Thune is trying to figure out
- 26:15Speaker 1: how to make this thing go away. He doesn't really
- 26:17Speaker 1: want people talking about it this much. There was there.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Apparently there was a Senate lunch this week where it
- 26:23Speaker 1: came up. The issue came up and people were talking like,
- 26:26Speaker 1: let's stop talking about getting rid of the filibuster. Let's
- 26:28Speaker 1: stop talking about it. No, no, sorry. You might want
- 26:33Speaker 1: to stop talking about it. The whole reason you are
- 26:35Speaker 1: forced to talk about it is because we're talking about it.
- 26:39Speaker 1: MAGA's talking about it. The base is talking about it.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Americans are talking about it. That's why you're going to
- 26:45Speaker 1: keep talking about it. We're going to keep making you
- 26:47Speaker 1: uncomfortable until you do what we want.
- 26:50Speaker 6: That's it.
- 26:52Speaker 1: That's it. We're your parole officers. We're watching your every move,
- 26:55Speaker 1: every single utterance. Give us election integrity. So we can
- 27:00Speaker 1: pick great people to be in the offices that you
- 27:03Speaker 1: are so poorly handling right now. All right, more ahead
- 27:06Speaker 1: on the program. We've got quite a bit to get to.
- 27:09Speaker 1: The Trump administration is doing some good stuff. You know
- 27:11Speaker 1: that there are a lot of foreigners who have come
- 27:14Speaker 1: into our country and who have been naturalized as American
- 27:16Speaker 1: citizens who have gone on to defraud us pretty consequentially.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar comes to mind.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:23Speaker 1: The Trump administration is doing something about that. Coming up,
- 27:26Speaker 1: what the left is complaining about and what I am
- 27:30Speaker 1: absolutely celebrating. This is another one of those, this is
- 27:33Speaker 1: what I voted for, segments all ahead on The Vince Show.

- 31:17Speaker 1: together to save it.
- 31:18Speaker 3: That's it.
- 31:18Speaker 1: That's all this is. That's all this is. I'm doing
- 31:21Speaker 1: this for my kid. And my guess is you're doing
- 31:23Speaker 1: it for yours and your grandchildren, the people that you love.
- 31:26Speaker 1: And you should. It's a great country. And, you know,
- 31:30Speaker 1: what do they say? Every generation needs to fight to
- 31:33Speaker 1: preserve liberty? Yeah, we're here to do it. We're here
- 31:36Speaker 1: to do it.
- 31:37Speaker 6: Okay.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about how President Trump is staying involved
- 31:41Speaker 1: in this fight. You know he's denaturalizing people by the
- 31:44Speaker 1: hundreds every single month? You know about this story? Just
- 31:48Speaker 1: to give you some perspective on this. Between the years
- 31:52Speaker 1: 1990 to 2017, 1990 to 2017, long stretch of time,
- 31:56Speaker 1: the United States Department of Justice was attempting to denaturalize
- 32:03Speaker 1: 11 people a year, 11 each year for decades. That's
- 32:10Speaker 1: like nobody, 11 people. In case you don't realize, denaturalization
- 32:16Speaker 1: just means somebody who was born in a foreign country
- 32:19Speaker 1: became a naturalized US citizen, And by virtue of their
- 32:22Speaker 1: breaking the law, especially as it relates to becoming a citizen,
- 32:26Speaker 1: like lying about their intents, defrauding the country, fraudulently becoming
- 32:31Speaker 1: a citizen, they denaturalize. They say, okay, wait a second.
- 32:35Speaker 1: We strip you of your citizenship, and then we give
- 32:37Speaker 1: you the heave-ho. We throw you out of the country.
- 32:39Speaker 1: 11 times a year is the way it was done
- 32:42Speaker 1: in the past. Well, when President Trump arrived the first time,
- 32:46Speaker 1: Trump 45, They upped that pretty dramatically, but not a
- 32:51Speaker 1: huge number of cases. They denaturalized 168 people, 168 in
- 32:55Speaker 1: the United States Department of Justice. And then of course,
- 33:00Speaker 1: President Autopen comes in and they drop it down to nothing, nothing.
- 33:04Speaker 1: They drop it down all the way to nothing again.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Now President Trump is back. You know how many denaturalization
- 33:10Speaker 1: cases he's pursuing every month now? Well, as many as
- 33:14Speaker 1: he pursued in his entire first administration. This isn't, just
- 33:18Speaker 1: to be clear, this is not illegal aliens we're talking about.
- 33:21Speaker 1: These are people who became naturalized citizens who are now
- 33:24Speaker 1: being denaturalized. This is a separate category from mass deportations.
- 33:29Speaker 1: 100 to 200 denaturalization cases every single month. Every single month.
- 33:37Speaker 1: What do you mean, where's my evidence of Trump denaturalizing citizens?
- 33:40Speaker 1: That's literally what denaturalizing is. getting rid of people who
- 33:43Speaker 1: are citizens who are not supposed to be. You know
- 33:46Speaker 1: what I mean? Does that make sense, Mama? Mama Amos
- 33:49Speaker 1: wants to know what... Yeah, this is not... I'm not
- 33:51Speaker 1: talking about deporting people who were born in the United
- 33:53Speaker 1: States of America. I'm talking about getting rid of the
- 33:56Speaker 1: citizenship of people who got it when they shouldn't have
- 33:59Speaker 1: got it in the first place. President Trump's removing them
- 34:04Speaker 1: and giving them the boot. Giving them the boot. Mama
- 34:06Speaker 1: was a little confused, but I got you, Mama. No worries.
- 34:08Speaker 1: I'm looking out for you.
- 34:10Speaker 3: So.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Here's the update today. The New York Times has a
- 34:13Speaker 1: very whiny piece up today about this. And here's what
- 34:18Speaker 1: they say. Justice Department targets hundreds of citizens in new
- 34:22Speaker 1: push for denaturalization. This is cause for celebration. We love this.
- 34:31Speaker 1: We love it. I voted for this. I love it.
- 34:35Speaker 1: I voted for this. Yeah, I know. Where is Ilhan
- 34:37Speaker 1: on that list, Kayleigh asks? I agree with you. The
- 34:40Speaker 1: Justice Department has identified 384 foreign-born Americans whose citizenship it
- 34:45Speaker 1: wants to revoke, part of a push to increase the
- 34:48Speaker 1: pace of denaturalizations by assigning the cases to prosecutors in
- 34:53Speaker 1: dozens of U.S. attorney's offices across the country. Senior Justice
- 34:58Speaker 1: Department officials in Washington told colleagues during a meeting last
- 35:01Speaker 1: week civil litigators in 39 regional offices would soon be
- 35:04Speaker 1: assigned to file denaturalization cases against the individuals, according to
- 35:09Speaker 1: an official familiar with the announcement, who was not authorized
- 35:12Speaker 1: to describe it on the record. Two people familiar with
- 35:15Speaker 1: the plans confirmed the broader effort to ramp up denaturalizations.
- 35:18Speaker 1: It was not clear what led the department to target
- 35:21Speaker 1: the 384 individuals. I know what's clear. Lawbreakings. You obtain
- 35:27Speaker 1: your citizenship fraudulently. We take it away from you and
- 35:30Speaker 1: we kick your ass out of the country. Under federal law,
- 35:33Speaker 1: the New York Times goes on in the next paragraph,
- 35:35Speaker 1: the government may ask a court to strip the citizenship
- 35:38Speaker 1: of people who obtained it fraudulently. For instance, by entering
- 35:43Speaker 1: into a sham marriage. Ilhan, Ilhan, Ilhan. That's an Ilhan alert.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, we got an Ilhan alert.
- 35:52Speaker 6: Ugh.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Or by withholding information about their past that would have
- 35:57Speaker 1: made them ineligible. Some who commit crimes may also be denaturalized.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Now we're getting somewhere. The government must present evidence to
- 36:06Speaker 1: a federal judge through a civil or criminal proceeding, making
- 36:08Speaker 1: the process challenging and time consuming. So what's happening here
- 36:12Speaker 1: is the Times is whining. They're boohooing over the fact
- 36:16Speaker 1: that the law is being enforced. And I'm celebrating about
- 36:19Speaker 1: the fact that the law is being enforced. I will
- 36:22Speaker 1: take this every day of the week. They're denaturalizing hundreds
- 36:25Speaker 1: of people a month.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Yes, please.
- 36:28Speaker 1: More of that, please. I love this. I absolutely love it.
- 36:35Speaker 6: I love it.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Can't love it more. All right. The president of the
- 36:37Speaker 1: United States was in the Oval Office yesterday. He was busy,
- 36:40Speaker 1: as always. They had a bunch of people over to
- 36:43Speaker 1: the White House yesterday. They had a big meeting at
- 36:45Speaker 1: the White House. In fact, the president confirmed it. They're
- 36:47Speaker 1: trying to create peace, peace all over the place. And
- 36:51Speaker 1: here's what the president said yesterday. He said, the president
- 36:54Speaker 1: of the United States, this is an official statement, Donald J. Trump,
- 36:57Speaker 1: vice president of the United States, J.D. Vance, secretary of state,
- 37:00Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, and ambassador to Lebanon,
- 37:05Speaker 1: Michael Issa, all met today. with high-ranking representatives of Israel
- 37:10Speaker 1: and Lebanon in the Oval Office. The meeting went very well.
- 37:14Speaker 1: The United States is going to work with Lebanon in
- 37:15Speaker 1: order to protect, to help it, rather, protect itself from Hezbollah.
- 37:19Speaker 1: The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended now
- 37:22Speaker 1: by three weeks. I look forward in the near future
- 37:24Speaker 1: to hosting the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, and
- 37:27Speaker 1: the President of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun. It was a great
- 37:31Speaker 1: honor to be a participant at this very historic meeting,
- 37:35Speaker 1: President Donald J. So the president yesterday trying to create
- 37:39Speaker 1: yet another peace deal, this time between Israel and Lebanon,
- 37:42Speaker 1: as they deal with the terrorists in Hezbollah and, of course,
- 37:46Speaker 1: an extension of the Iranian terror regime. The president's still
- 37:50Speaker 1: working feverishly to resolve that problem as well. Yesterday, while
- 37:53Speaker 1: he was in the Oval Office, he answered a number
- 37:55Speaker 1: of questions from the instigators in the press corps. And
- 38:01Speaker 1: he said, I'm working on it. Don't rush me. Here
- 38:04Speaker 1: he is. Cut three.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Watch.
- 38:08Speaker 6: The Press Well, don't rush me.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Don't rush me, Jeff. You know, guys like you, you
- 38:15Speaker 2: want to say, oh, so we were in Vietnam, like,
- 38:17Speaker 2: for 18 years.
- 38:18Speaker 6: We were in Iraq for many, many years.
- 38:21Speaker 2: We were in for all the— I don't like to
- 38:23Speaker 2: say World War II because that was a biggie, but
- 38:26Speaker 2: we were four and a half, almost five years in
- 38:28Speaker 2: World War II. We were in the Korean War for
- 38:31Speaker 2: seven years. I've been doing this for six weeks. And
- 38:36Speaker 2: their military is totally defeated. Outside of the little Wiseguy ships,
- 38:43Speaker 2: I call them the Wiseguy ships, the little boats that
- 38:45Speaker 2: they have running around with guns in them. We'll take
- 38:49Speaker 2: them out, too, when we see them.
- 38:52Speaker 6: But their Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Their anti-aircraft is gone. All of their anti-aircraft machinery is gone.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Maybe they loaded up a little bit. during the two-week hiatus,
- 39:03Speaker 2: but we'll knock that out in about one day if
- 39:05Speaker 2: they did.
- 39:08Speaker 1: I think I'm going to need a t-shirt with Trump's
- 39:10Speaker 1: face on it that says, don't rush me, I'm making
- 39:12Speaker 1: America great again. I love, I love don't rush me.
- 39:16Speaker 1: I also love the wise guy boats. I just love
- 39:18Speaker 1: how he describes things. Isn't he good at describing things?
- 39:20Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. Don't rush me. Don't rush me. I
- 39:23Speaker 1: got this covered. Now, having heard him answer that question,
- 39:28Speaker 1: another reporter decided to ask the same exact question again,
- 39:32Speaker 1: as if he didn't just answer it. So Trump smacked
- 39:36Speaker 1: her into another century. Listen to this.
- 39:38Speaker 6: How much longer this will take? Obviously, you know that
- 39:41Speaker 6: they are having- You hear such a disgrace. Did you
- 39:43Speaker 6: hear what I just said? Vietnam.
- 39:45Speaker 2: How many years was Vietnam? How many years was Vietnam? Well,
- 39:50Speaker 2: I did my act. I took the country out militarily
- 39:57Speaker 2: in the first four weeks. I took it out militarily.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Now what we're doing is sitting back and seeing what deal.
- 40:05Speaker 2: And if they don't want to make a deal, then
- 40:06Speaker 2: I'll finish it up militarily with the other 25 percent
- 40:09Speaker 2: of the targets. 78 percent of the targets that we've
- 40:13Speaker 2: wanted to hit. We've knocked out their manufacturing. We've knocked
- 40:16Speaker 2: out their missile production. We've knocked out their drone production.
- 40:20Speaker 2: We've knocked out everything. In some cases, when I say
- 40:22Speaker 2: knocked it out, 70, 80, 90 percent. It's amazing what
- 40:28Speaker 2: we've done. So I've done that within that period of
- 40:31Speaker 2: time that I mentioned. But I don't want to rush myself, you.
- 40:34Speaker 6: Know, because every story says, oh, Trump is under time pressure.
- 40:36Speaker 6: I'm not.
- 40:36Speaker 3: No, no.
- 40:37Speaker 6: You know who's under time pressure? They are.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Because if they don't get their oil moving, their whole
- 40:42Speaker 2: oil infrastructure.
- 40:43Speaker 6: Is going to explode.
- 40:44Speaker 1: True, they're at capacity.
- 40:46Speaker 6: Because they have no place to store it.
- 40:48Speaker 2: And because they have no place to store it, if
- 40:50Speaker 2: they have to stop it, something happens that only Len
- 40:54Speaker 2: can explain. Something happens underground that essentially renders it in
- 41:00Speaker 2: very poor shape, and you never recover fully. You can
- 41:03Speaker 2: recover 50, 60 percent, but you can never have it
- 41:06Speaker 2: like it is right now. And They have a matter
- 41:08Speaker 2: of days before that event takes place. So I'm not
- 41:12Speaker 2: under any pressure whatsoever. We've never had so much ammunition.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Our ships are loaded. I call them locked and loaded.
- 41:19Speaker 2: They're locked and loaded.
- 41:20Speaker 6: They're ready to go.
- 41:21Speaker 2: We have much higher quality equipment than we did when
- 41:25Speaker 2: we first started the war and or the military operation,
- 41:29Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it.
- 41:31Speaker 6: And they're coming to us.
- 41:33Speaker 2: The problem they have is they are very disorganized right now.
- 41:38Speaker 1: I love how he described that. So what he's laying
- 41:41Speaker 1: out there after he backhands that hilarious reporter, he says, look,
- 41:48Speaker 1: time is on our side. We've got all the leverage here.
- 41:51Speaker 1: We've got the area blockaded. They're at capacity. They're reaching
- 41:54Speaker 1: capacity on Karg Island. All these kind of the oil
- 41:57Speaker 1: capacity that the Iranians have, you can't just leave it
- 42:00Speaker 1: sitting there. If it sits there, the infrastructure begins to
- 42:03Speaker 1: deteriorate very rapidly without that oil moving It is going
- 42:07Speaker 1: to be devastating to the Iranian energy infrastructure. He says
- 42:12Speaker 1: basically the pressure is on. If they want to get
- 42:16Speaker 1: that oil flowing, if they want their infrastructure preserved, if
- 42:18Speaker 1: they don't want it all decimated, well, then they're going
- 42:21Speaker 1: to have to move right now. They're running out of time.
- 42:23Speaker 1: So hurry up and make a deal with us. And
- 42:25Speaker 1: that's him just giving them a very public reminder that
- 42:28Speaker 1: their backs are up against the wall and the wall
- 42:30Speaker 1: is crumbling. They don't really have many options here. So
- 42:35Speaker 1: good insight from the president yesterday as he offers that update.
- 42:39Speaker 1: And then, I don't know, why do people go to
- 42:42Speaker 1: the Oval Office just to get smacked around? Like, don't
- 42:44Speaker 1: you realize that if you ask a dumb question... that
- 42:47Speaker 1: President Trump is going to point out how stupid you are?
- 42:51Speaker 1: This is a PBS reporter yesterday and decided to ask
- 42:55Speaker 1: Donald Trump, President Trump, are you going to nuke Iran? Now,
- 42:59Speaker 1: you just heard what everything that he described and then
- 43:01Speaker 1: I subsequently described. Iran's back is up against the wall.
- 43:05Speaker 1: They have nowhere to go. All of the leverage is
- 43:07Speaker 1: currently in the custody of the United States. Why the
- 43:10Speaker 1: hell would we nuke the country right now? Who's even
- 43:13Speaker 1: thinking of this? You know that this question came entirely
- 43:18Speaker 1: from Trump derangement syndrome. That, oh yeah, he'll say it's
- 43:21Speaker 1: on the table that he's going to nuke Iran. And
- 43:23Speaker 1: then we'll have a headline that Trump wants to nuke Iran.
- 43:26Speaker 1: He's a madman. And we have to invoke the 25th Amendment.
- 43:28Speaker 1: We have to throw him out of office. Listen to
- 43:31Speaker 1: this sequence. Cut five. Listen to this.
- 43:34Speaker 6: Sir, would you use a nuclear weapon against Iran? You
- 43:36Speaker 6: posted on Truth Social a few weeks ago. We don't
- 43:38Speaker 6: need it. Why do I need it? Why would a
- 43:41Speaker 6: stupid question like that be asked?
- 43:43Speaker 2: Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've totally,
- 43:47Speaker 2: in a very conventional way, decimated them without it?
- 43:50Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never
- 43:53Speaker 6: be allowed to be used by anybody.
- 43:56Speaker 1: What a stupid question. What a stupid, stupid question. I
- 44:01Speaker 1: just love that he says it. Don't you love that
- 44:03Speaker 1: he says it? And like, it's not, he's not just
- 44:05Speaker 1: playing with it. Like, oh, well, that's an interesting question. No,
- 44:09Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think that was a stupid question.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Very stupid. Yeah, it was stupid. And then somehow.
- 44:14Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 44:15Speaker 1: You ever wonder like, how do these people get access
- 44:17Speaker 1: to the White House? Talk about being wide open and transparent.
- 44:21Speaker 1: They are the most accessible administration ever. They let morons
- 44:25Speaker 1: in off the street to ask questions about whether or
- 44:27Speaker 1: not he's going to nuke Iran. It's, It really, that
- 44:30Speaker 1: is generous. Did she win a contest? How the hell
- 44:33Speaker 1: did she get in there? Anyway, there she was yesterday.
- 44:38Speaker 1: And there's the president. Let me move to another announcement
- 44:42Speaker 1: that the president made yesterday, which I thought was wonderful.
- 44:46Speaker 1: The president has been working very hard. It's America's 250th anniversary.
- 44:51Speaker 1: It's his last term in office. He wants to use
- 44:55Speaker 1: it well. He wants to try and improve the quality
- 44:57Speaker 1: of the country. He's building a gigantic ballroom right now.
- 45:00Speaker 1: He wants to build a magnificent 250-foot arch in Arlington.
- 45:04Speaker 1: He's trying to do all sorts of great things for
- 45:07Speaker 1: our country right now. And one of them that he's
- 45:09Speaker 1: working on, apparently at a massive cost savings, is repairing
- 45:13Speaker 1: the reflecting pool out in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
- 45:16Speaker 1: You know the famous reflecting pool? 2,000 feet long reflecting pool? Well,
- 45:22Speaker 1: it's in a state of awful disrepair. It's leaking like crazy.
- 45:25Speaker 1: It's cracked. It's broken. It's destroyed. Here's the president yesterday
- 45:31Speaker 1: describing in a video that he posted to Truth Social
- 45:34Speaker 1: that he took what was supposed to be a $ 300
- 45:37Speaker 1: million contract to fix it. And he said, I solved
- 45:41Speaker 1: it way under budget and way ahead of schedule. Cut six.
- 45:47Speaker 4: Watch.
- 45:48Speaker 2: I thought I'd bring up a subject of interest. I
- 45:51Speaker 2: do a lot of this as president and try and
- 45:55Speaker 2: save money. And one was the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
- 45:59Speaker 6: Which everybody knows.
- 46:01Speaker 2: That's where Martin Luther King made his great speech and
- 46:04Speaker 2: where others have likewise made great speeches and great.
- 46:07Speaker 6: Events held there. It's very famous.
- 46:10Speaker 2: It was built in 1922 and it's more than 2000
- 46:11Speaker 2: feet long. It's 167 feet wide.
- 46:17Speaker 6: It's very big.
- 46:18Speaker 2: That's like taller than any skyscraper, 2000 feet. And here's
- 46:22Speaker 2: a picture of it. You probably recognize.
- 46:24Speaker 6: It right now.
- 46:25Speaker 2: It's got no water in it because it was in
- 46:27Speaker 2: terrible shape. It was filthy dirty and it leaked like
- 46:31Speaker 2: a sieve.
- 46:32Speaker 6: For many years.
- 46:34Speaker 2: So I actually went over, went with Secret Service and
- 46:37Speaker 2: a group of people, and I took a look at it.
- 46:40Speaker 2: One of the people with me was Doug Burgum, our
- 46:42Speaker 2: great Secretary of the Interior. This comes under his purview.
- 46:46Speaker 2: And he said, yes, we've had a lot of problems
- 46:48Speaker 2: with it. It's not working. It hasn't worked for many years.
- 46:52Speaker 2: And it's always filthy dirty. And I said, well, we're
- 46:55Speaker 2: going to solve the problem. They had bids to fix it.
- 47:00Speaker 2: They were going to take the stone out, which was granite,
- 47:03Speaker 2: very expensive, very thick, and.
- 47:05Speaker 6: Replace it with stone. And it was going to cost
- 47:09Speaker 6: $ 300 million.
- 47:09Speaker 2: And it was going to take maybe more than three years.
- 47:14Speaker 2: And I said, no, there's a better way of doing it.
- 47:16Speaker 2: I said, what we're going to do is I'm going
- 47:18Speaker 2: to call all three of these people that have worked
- 47:22Speaker 2: for me in the past, doing swimming pools. That's all
- 47:25Speaker 2: they can do is a swimming pool. And I said,
- 47:28Speaker 2: give me a good price. We can do it for
- 47:31Speaker 2: maybe a million and a half to $ 2 million, as
- 47:34Speaker 2: opposed to $ 300 million. We scrubbed the surface of the
- 47:40Speaker 2: existing granite that's been there since 1922. We then grouted
- 47:46Speaker 2: all of the granite, fixed it up, took about two weeks,
- 47:50Speaker 2: and now we have a nice, clean surface on which
- 47:53Speaker 2: we're putting.
- 47:55Speaker 1: A industrial-grade swimming pool topping.
- 48:00Speaker 6: And they said, what color would you like, sir?
- 48:02Speaker 2: It's called American flag blue.
- 48:05Speaker 1: I said, that's the color I want.
- 48:07Speaker 6: I want American flag blue.
- 48:09Speaker 2: It'll last for 40 or 50 years.
- 48:12Speaker 1: There'll be no leaks.
- 48:14Speaker 6: There'll be no anything.
- 48:15Speaker 1: It'll look gorgeous, beautiful.
- 48:17Speaker 6: So it's a story in business.
- 48:19Speaker 2: And here's the difference, because somebody said, well, sure, but one,
- 48:24Speaker 2: wouldn't it be a better job? I said, no, no.
- 48:26Speaker 2: This is a much better job for much less money.
- 48:29Speaker 2: It will look far more beautiful, more beautiful than it
- 48:31Speaker 2: did in 1922 when they built it, much more beautiful.
- 48:34Speaker 2: So we built it in much less time for much
- 48:37Speaker 2: less money. But I don't mean much less. I mean
- 48:39Speaker 2: numbers that nobody can even believe. So it's a million
- 48:42Speaker 2: and a half dollars versus 300.
- 48:44Speaker 6: It's two weeks.
- 48:48Speaker 2: Versus more than three years. That's just the way it is.
- 48:52Speaker 2: Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- 48:55Speaker 1: Isn't that great? Isn't that isn't that I was just
- 48:58Speaker 1: jaw dropping. Three hundred million dollars to fix the reflecting pool.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Who signed up for that contract in the first place?
- 49:06Speaker 1: That's crazy. And he said, no, well, let me let
- 49:10Speaker 1: me see. Let me check with some of my swimming
- 49:11Speaker 1: pool guys. What an advantage to have a builder. as
- 49:14Speaker 1: the president of the United States. This is why they should.
- 49:17Speaker 1: I get it. Lefties, you're trying to... derangement syndrome, I
- 49:21Speaker 1: get that it clouds every aspect of your judgment. But
- 49:23Speaker 1: insofar as you can remind yourself of what judgment sounds
- 49:26Speaker 1: like or feels like, Donald Trump's a builder. You want
- 49:30Speaker 1: this guy building the ballroom. You know, if Democrats ever
- 49:34Speaker 1: imagined that they're going to have a president of the
- 49:35Speaker 1: United States again, hopefully won fairly, not through cheating, then
- 49:40Speaker 1: they would want a ballroom at the White House to
- 49:42Speaker 1: accommodate the president's events. You should want Donald Trump to build.
- 49:49Speaker 1: You wish Joe Biden built a ballroom? What would be
- 49:51Speaker 1: the state of that thing? It'd be like no doors.
- 49:53Speaker 1: People would be bumping into walls in that place. No,
- 49:56Speaker 1: President Trump is building something great. You should be celebrating.
- 49:59Speaker 1: You should be grateful to him. It's not even a
- 50:01Speaker 1: taxpayer expense. Donors are paying for it. And then with
- 50:05Speaker 1: the reflecting pool, dropping that bill from $ 300 million to $ 1. 5
- 50:08Speaker 1: million and getting a couple of his swimming pool guys
- 50:11Speaker 1: in there and fixing this thing up real quick, I'll
- 50:13Speaker 1: take it. American flag blue. I'm really looking forward to it.
- 50:16Speaker 1: You know what it looks like when you paint a
- 50:17Speaker 1: blue bottom on one of these, on a reflecting pool
- 50:20Speaker 1: like this, like a fountain. It has that effect. If
- 50:23Speaker 1: it looks good, and sometimes it looks tacky, but I
- 50:25Speaker 1: don't think this is going to look tacky. I think
- 50:27Speaker 1: Donald Trump knows what he's doing. It looks good, and
- 50:29Speaker 1: all of a sudden you get this kind of crystal
- 50:31Speaker 1: blue look on the water. leading up to the Washington Monument.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Very cool. What a nice gift to the American people.
- 50:38Speaker 1: And I love the cost savings. I think that's great.
- 50:40Speaker 1: So I was really pumped about that. All right, one
- 50:42Speaker 1: more big thing for you today I want to share
- 50:44Speaker 1: with you. Speaking of cost savings, and get your reaction here, Chad,
- 50:48Speaker 1: what do you think of this? The New York Times
- 50:54Speaker 1: has a piece up that they just posted yesterday about
- 50:59Speaker 1: people who lost their jobs lost the jobs where they
- 51:03Speaker 1: were taking American taxpayer money last year, and then President
- 51:07Speaker 1: Trump comes into office, Marco Rubio comes into office at
- 51:10Speaker 1: the State Department, Elon Musk comes in at Doge, and
- 51:13Speaker 1: they start cutting all of these taxpayer-funded, and in many cases,
- 51:18Speaker 1: utterly worthless and corrupt gigs immediately, immediately. Now, Chad, I
- 51:24Speaker 1: don't know about you, but this is what I voted for.
- 51:26Speaker 1: I voted for the federal government shrinking dramatically. More people
- 51:31Speaker 1: should be working in the private sector. Fewer people should
- 51:34Speaker 1: be working in the government sector. If for nothing else,
- 51:37Speaker 1: the mathematics of it all, you realize like our in-house economist, E.J. Antoni,
- 51:42Speaker 1: the official economist of this program, E.J. has for years,
- 51:45Speaker 1: he's been telling me, you know, Vince, it takes 80
- 51:48Speaker 1: private sector workers to pay for the salary benefits and
- 51:53Speaker 1: retirement of a single federal worker. One, one.
- 51:59Speaker 3: Okay.
- 51:59Speaker 1: Okay. 80 private sector workers for one federal worker. I
- 52:04Speaker 1: don't like that math. That math doesn't work out very
- 52:06Speaker 1: good for us. We need a small federal government. So
- 52:09Speaker 1: President Trump has shrunk the federal government by 10%. He
- 52:12Speaker 1: took it from a workforce of 3 million people and
- 52:16Speaker 1: he cut 300,000 out of it already, already. And there's
- 52:21Speaker 1: a lot more to go. There really is a lot
- 52:23Speaker 1: more to go, but that's a big drop. And we've
- 52:25Speaker 1: never seen anything like that.
- 52:26Speaker 2: 10% drop, huge.
- 52:28Speaker 1: And over at the State Department, they had an operation
- 52:31Speaker 1: called USAID, which was really in the end, just a
- 52:34Speaker 1: gigantic left-wing slush fund of your tax dollars being dedicated
- 52:39Speaker 1: to a bunch of left-wing operations that powered the Democrat Party.
- 52:44Speaker 1: President Trump comes in, Marco Rubio comes in, Elon Musk
- 52:47Speaker 1: come in, they all sense all of this garbage and
- 52:49Speaker 1: they say, okay, that's the end of that. We're getting
- 52:51Speaker 1: rid of it. So the New York Times has just
- 52:54Speaker 1: run a piece catching up with the people who lost
- 52:58Speaker 1: those gigs, those plum gigs. And here's what the piece
- 53:03Speaker 1: looks like. It says, a year after USAID's death, fired
- 53:06Speaker 1: workers find few jobs and much loss. Few jobs and
- 53:11Speaker 1: much loss. Now, of course, the way the Times is
- 53:13Speaker 1: framing this, they want this to be a sob story.
- 53:15Speaker 1: They want you to feel really bad for these people.
- 53:18Speaker 1: And I never want people to be out of work.
- 53:20Speaker 1: I want them to be gainfully employed. That's really important.
- 53:22Speaker 1: But look at how this piece starts. She was fired
- 53:25Speaker 1: by email while on maternity leave, given 24 hours to
- 53:28Speaker 1: clear out her desk, and left with three days of
- 53:30Speaker 1: health insurance and no severance pay. She had worked for
- 53:33Speaker 1: the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, or related groups
- 53:37Speaker 1: for more than two decades. She made $ 175, 000 a year.
- 53:41Speaker 1: That's a phenomenal salary. That's taxpayer funded. That was January 28th. Today,
- 53:48Speaker 1: Amy Uccello and her husband, who also lost his job
- 53:52Speaker 1: when USAID funding for his nonprofit dried up. So they
- 53:55Speaker 1: were both taking huge amounts of taxpayer money. Now they
- 53:59Speaker 1: rely on food stamps, Medicaid, and a supplemental nutrition program
- 54:06Speaker 1: for women and children.
- 54:07Speaker 2: What?
- 54:09Speaker 1: Well, what happened? You and your husband, I don't know
- 54:12Speaker 1: what your husband was making, but let's assume he was
- 54:13Speaker 1: making what you were making. You and your husband were making, what, $ 350, 000
- 54:17Speaker 1: a year? And then as soon as the taxpayer says,
- 54:22Speaker 1: no thanks, go find something else, now you're on taxpayer
- 54:26Speaker 1: benefits on the bottom end? Now you're taking food stamps
- 54:29Speaker 1: and Medicaid? How did that happen? Why didn't you get
- 54:35Speaker 1: jobs that paid similarly in the private sector? Why didn't
- 54:39Speaker 1: that happen? That's the core question. It's not even directed
- 54:42Speaker 1: at these people as individuals. It's directed as a macro question.
- 54:46Speaker 1: If somebody is being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars
- 54:49Speaker 1: a year by the government, why can't they rate that
- 54:53Speaker 1: pay in the private sector? Anybody want to do the
- 54:55Speaker 1: math on that? What if it turns out that you
- 55:00Speaker 1: didn't have any marketable skills to begin with and taxpayers
- 55:05Speaker 1: were being fleeced to just give you money because it
- 55:11Speaker 1: served some sort of left-wing ideological goal that had nothing
- 55:15Speaker 1: to do with what you're actually valued at on the
- 55:18Speaker 1: job market? In fact, there's a really good example of
- 55:21Speaker 1: this in the piece. There's a woman called Cheryl Cowan.
- 55:24Speaker 1: who is quoted here. And again, this is not directed
- 55:26Speaker 1: at Cheryl. I don't know Cheryl, maybe she's a nice person.
- 55:29Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, this jumps off the page of me.
- 55:33Speaker 1: Cheryl Cowan, 57 years old, was making $ 272, 000 a year. Again,
- 55:42Speaker 1: these are taxpayer dollars. Ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress
- 55:48Speaker 1: do not make that much money. Almost everybody in the
- 55:52Speaker 1: White House, except for the president, does not make that
- 55:56Speaker 1: much money. And in fact, this president doesn't make that money.
- 55:58Speaker 1: He donates his salary right back to the government. Most
- 56:03Speaker 1: federal workers are not making 272. This woman is making $ 272, 000
- 56:10Speaker 1: from your paycheck. As a senior vice president at a
- 56:14Speaker 1: USAID-funded nonprofit, she was let go last March, 2025. Just
- 56:21Speaker 1: last month, she had an online interview for a $ 19
- 56:26Speaker 1: an hour job at Penzi's Spices, a store near her
- 56:31Speaker 1: home in Falls Church, Virginia. Penzi's Spices, by the way,
- 56:33Speaker 1: is a big left-wing activist store, whatever. That's what they're into.
- 56:38Speaker 1: They hate Trump and they sell spices. That's fine. They
- 56:41Speaker 1: can do whatever they want. They're a private business. But
- 56:44Speaker 1: she just interviewed. She did an online interview to get
- 56:46Speaker 1: paid $ 19 an hour by a shit-lib spice store.
- 56:50Speaker 3: Okay.
- 56:51Speaker 2: Okay.
- 56:51Speaker 1: First of all, how progressive are they? $ 19 an hour
- 56:55Speaker 1: for your manager? I thought you were lefties. I thought
- 56:57Speaker 1: you were all in on like ridiculously high minimum wages.
- 57:00Speaker 1: I thought that was your whole thing. Why aren't you
- 57:02Speaker 1: paying a bajillion dollars an hour to your manager at
- 57:05Speaker 1: Penzi Spices? Why isn't that happening? The other thing is, Why,
- 57:09Speaker 1: you know, just look at the comparison here. So she
- 57:12Speaker 1: leaves the public sector, the government sector, where she's making
- 57:16Speaker 1: nearly $ 300, 000 a year. And then she ends up with what?
- 57:19Speaker 1: An offer for a 19, I don't even know if
- 57:21Speaker 1: she got the offer, a $ 19 an hour job working
- 57:23Speaker 1: at a spice store, which what comes out to what,
- 57:27Speaker 1: like $ 34, 000, $ 35, 000 a year. So did you have marketable
- 57:32Speaker 1: skills to begin with? What are we paying for? You know,
- 57:39Speaker 1: Eric Schmidt, the United States Senator, he pointed this out.
- 57:42Speaker 1: He posted to X about this story last night. He said,
- 57:44Speaker 1: you know, the New York Times frames this as if
- 57:46Speaker 1: USAID employees had a quasi-property right to high-paying taxpayer-funded jobs.
- 57:53Speaker 1: In reality, this tells a darker story. We spent half
- 57:56Speaker 1: a century debt financing a managerial class of leftists whose
- 58:01Speaker 1: only qualifications were ideological. They don't have any real work qualifications.
- 58:08Speaker 1: They can produce nothing of value. No company is saying
- 58:11Speaker 1: I desperately need that person because their expertise would improve
- 58:14Speaker 1: my product and would improve our profits. Nobody's saying that
- 58:18Speaker 1: because that's not what they've produced. What a world. What
- 58:22Speaker 1: a completely different world. You know, it's funny. I don't
- 58:26Speaker 1: know if it's universally true, but it definitely feels like
- 58:28Speaker 1: it's true that people who are on the right, by
- 58:30Speaker 1: and large, conservatives, you know, they go into private industry.
- 58:34Speaker 1: They're people who would like the government to remain small.
- 58:36Speaker 1: They don't want to be dependent on the government. They
- 58:38Speaker 1: want to make their own way. And insofar as they're
- 58:40Speaker 1: seeking a payday, they're going to seek it from private industry.
- 58:43Speaker 1: They're going to try and do it on the strength
- 58:46Speaker 1: of their own talents, work ethic, and effort. That's it.
- 58:50Speaker 1: Whereas it feels like it is. absolutely baked into the left,
- 58:55Speaker 1: that you make the government as big as possible to
- 58:58Speaker 1: steal money from people by way of their taxes, and
- 59:02Speaker 1: then to stick your fingers into that cookie jar and
- 59:05Speaker 1: take as much of it as you possibly can for yourself.
- 59:08Speaker 1: To the left, the government is is their payday. which
- 59:12Speaker 1: is why when the real world slaps them in the face,
- 59:15Speaker 1: they have no idea what to do with it. That's
- 59:17Speaker 1: how you end up going from a $ 272, 000 a year job,
- 59:21Speaker 1: job where you're taking money from the federal taxpayer to
- 59:24Speaker 1: suddenly seeing maybe I can get a job working as
- 59:26Speaker 1: a $ 19 an hour manager at some shit lib spice store.
- 59:32Speaker 1: That's a dose of reality. And I hope, and I
- 59:34Speaker 1: truly mean this, I hope that everybody who's gone through
- 59:37Speaker 1: this sequence of events gets the real world experience that
- 59:41Speaker 1: this is going to, I mean, it takes all the
- 59:43Speaker 1: right lessons from this real world experience that you should.
- 59:45Speaker 1: In other words, that you come out of this a
- 59:47Speaker 1: better person, realizing, wait a second, I have to forge
- 59:51Speaker 1: ahead on my own. I have to create something of
- 59:52Speaker 1: value so that people can take me seriously and then
- 59:56Speaker 1: make it so that you're actually worth being paid more money.
- 59:58Speaker 1: That's it. That's what everybody else has to do if
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: you're not, you know, leeching off the government. It's amazing. Anyway,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: what a wild story. What a wild, I mean, just
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: the New York Times frames it as like a total Like,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: you know, sob story. The rest of us looking at
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: it going, this is long overdue. This is very long overdue.
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: I'm so grateful that you're here with me today. We've
