• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Just amazing what's going on. Let's start where I really
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: want to start with you. Are we about to get
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the Fang Fang files? Are the Fang Fang files about
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to go public? It certainly seems like it based on
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the freak out that Eric Swalwell is undertaking right now.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: We have a story from the Washington Post first for you.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell has sent a cease and desist letter to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: FBI Director Kash Patel. Cease and desist. Do not release
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: this information to the public. Now, remember, you know, this
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: goes back to a while ago. This is about over
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a decade ago that the Chinese Communist Party, the Chi Coms,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: had successfully implanted in Eric Swalwell's world. Fang Fang, Christine Fang,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Christine Fang, Fang Fang had entered his world in California
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: politics and. And he apparently entered her world, too. They
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: were very close to one another and spent a lot
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of time together. And what ended up happening was the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Chai Khams apparently were able to use this relationship to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: their own advantage. Now, Swalwell has insisted ever since then that, oh,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. I'm just an idiot. I had
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: no idea that this young woman had a bizarrely high
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: fascination in Eric freaking Swalwell. What could that have been?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Could it have been his stunning good looks? His impressive
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: alpha male stature? What was it that attracted Fang Fang
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to Eric Swalwell? It was the fact that he was
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a sucker. And he's not the only California Democrat who
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the CHICOMs targeted. They did that a lot because a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: lot of these Democrats ended up being suckers. So Eric
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Swalwell is very concerned that you and I are going
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to get full access to all the files that the U.S.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: government has on this subject. Suddenly, And again, this goes
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to this Washington Post report overnight. Eric Swalwell has sent
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a cease and desist letter to the FBI. Don't tell anybody.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Attorneys for Representative Eric Swalwell demanded Monday in a letter
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: releasing decades old, decade old, one decade old, actually, investigative
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: files involving the congressman's purported ties to a suspected Chinese
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: intelligence operative. The congressman called for the FBI to agree
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: within days not to release the files, don't release the files,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: adding that any further action to release them could prompt
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: him to take legal action. The cease and desist letter
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: followed a report from the Washington Post over the weekend
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that Patel had dispatched agents to review and redact the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: files in a potential move to ready them for public release.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Swalwell was not accused of any wrongdoing when the FBI
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: investigated him and the suspected spy Christine Fang a decade ago.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Swalwell's congressional office said it had immediately cut ties with
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Fang when federal agents informed him in 2015 they were
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: concerned she might be an intelligence operative. More recently, the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Republican-led House Ethics Committee closed a two-year investigation into the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: congressman without taking action. Okay, so again, just to reiterate
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a very basic point, if Swalwell has nothing to hide,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: then what is he panicking about? Why is he so
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: concerned about this? Isn't the rule on the left, if
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you have nothing to hide, then just release the files?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Where are the Epstein files? The Epstein files prove that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is guilty. We're going to release them. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Trump's like, yeah, you just release them. But every single
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: time they're like, just release these things, release these things,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: except for when it has to do with you.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Actually, let's release them. What are you freaking out about?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: What are you panicking about? Here's Eric Swalwell yesterday whining
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: about this.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Whining.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: This case is closed.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: The Bureau said over 10 years ago all we did
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: was help. But this effort to weaponize the FBI against
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: the president's political enemy in a time that we are
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: at war shows a distraction. It shows an obsession with
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: going after the president's political opponents.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: We're going into the majority a year from now. We
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: have every intention to do that. And so we will
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: bring oversight, accountability. We will subpoena the Department of Justice,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: but also private actors who have done these drug deals
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: with the administration, college campuses, entertainment companies, law firms. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: so accountability is coming.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you to Western Lensman for putting those two clips together.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Swalwell just said recently that as soon as Democrats get
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: power again, we're going to use it tyrannically. We're going
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to crush our political opponents with it. We're going to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: make their lives absolutely miserable. And yet now when the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Trump administration is reportedly considering releasing more information about how
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: exactly Eric Swalwell was such an easy mark for the CHICOMs,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Now he's panicking? Oh, you can't do that? That's not allowed?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You've already promised to abuse your power the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: second you get more of it. Meanwhile, the Trump administration
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: is not doing anything abusive. All they're doing is telling
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the public exactly what's going on in our country, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: they're going after the bad guys. This is what we
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: want them to do. In fact, I want more information
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: about the Chinese infiltration of our country. This very week,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: just on that subject, we'll talk about what's coming. This
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: very week, on Wednesday, We are expecting oral arguments in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a case involving birthright citizenship in the United States. Birthright citizenship,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this idea that if you're merely born inside of our borders,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you're instantly an American citizen. Now, you and I both
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: know that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which is
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: where these people say that they derive this legal theory
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that everybody born inside of our borders, even if they're
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: just a Chinese tourist visiting America and suddenly they have
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a baby, boom, American citizen. The 14th Amendment was never
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: meant for that. The drafters of the 14th Amendment were
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: very clear about what the 14th Amendment was for. It
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: was for former slaves, for people who were enslaved in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, for Black people who were
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: enslaved in the United States of America to say, you
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: are a United States citizen.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: You were born here.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: You're an American. That's what the 14th Amendment is for.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The 13th and the 15th Amendments are all known as
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the Civil Rights Amendments to the Constitution for a reason.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And yet it's been distorted. It's been mangled beyond any
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: intent that the drafters of those amendments intended. It's been
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: used as a way to invade our country and then
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to steal our stuff, to steal from taxpayers. And on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: this issue of China, this is also a big deal.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Chinese birth tourism has been a thing for years where
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the Tricoms are sending people in, they have a baby
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: in the United States, and then that baby is made
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: an American citizen. In fact, we've got tens of thousands
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of American citizens living in China right now who have
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: been created based on this demented system. On Wednesday, tomorrow,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the United States Supreme Court takes up this case. They
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: take up this debate. Say a prayer for your country
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that sanity prevails in that court. Say a prayer that
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the squishier justices on the court have some testicular fortitude
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to make the right decision here. So yeah, do I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: want to know more about the infiltration of the Chai
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Khams in the United States? Definitely. This is the great
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: power battle of our time. This is the great adversarial
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: battle of our time. In fact, at the core of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: every other conflict that you're seeing right now is the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: impact on the U.S.-China relationship. What does that look like?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: What impact does that have? When Iran sends 90% of
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: its oil to China, you're damn right it's a big
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: deal that the president of the United States went in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: there to denuclearize them and kick out one of China's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: major power courts. It's a huge deal. Keep your eye
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: on that, the massive thing. But this thing about Fang Fang, yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: tell us everything. And if Swalwell had nothing to hide,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't be whining about it. Swalwell knows. that there
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: are details in these files that are either highly damning
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: or highly embarrassing to him. Highly embarrassing. What does embarrassing mean?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: That he's a complete sucker. He's a rube. That the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: signs were everywhere. Like, what woman sees Eric Swalwell and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: thinks to himself, yeah, I need a piece of that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Only if you're a chi-com. Only if you're in the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party and you want to make him the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: idiotic mark that you take advantage of. That's what happened here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And Swalwell's worried that all of this laundry is about
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to be exposed in public. Yeah, that's why he's freaking out.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And this Chinese spy, Fang Fang, she was targeting California
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: politicians left and right. Axios had a report on this
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: back in December of 2020. Suspected Chinese spy targeted California politicians.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: This Chai Com Intel operative developed extensive ties with with
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: local and national politicians, including a U.S. congressman, that would
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: be Eric Swalwell, and what U.S. officials believe was a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: political intel operation run by China's main civilian spy agency
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: between 2011 and 2015. The alleged operation offers a very
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: rare window on how Beijing has tried to gain access
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to and influence U.S. political circles. The suspended operatives activities
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: appear to have ended during the Obama administration, as the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: claim Concerns about Beijing's influence operations have spanned President Trump's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: time in office and will continue to be a core
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: focus for U.S. counterintelligence during the Biden administration. Now, that's
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: hilarious because, remember, during the Biden era, we had Chinese
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: spy balloons flying over the United States and not being
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: stopped at all. But look, here's, I mean, you can
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: see it right here. Here is Swalwell with Feng Feng.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Right here, look at this. For those of you, rumble.com
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: slash Vince, There they are.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Look at that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: A little wet behind the ears, Eric Swalwell, hanging out
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: with Fang Fang. The two of them getting close, holding
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: some random certificate or whatever. He was given some award,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: biggest sucker of the year.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Look at that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: So this guy, so he falls for the Chai Comm lady,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and now he's worried that we're going to find out
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: more about it. The woman at the center of the operation,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a Chinese national named Fang Fang, targeted up-and-coming local politicians
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in the Bay Area and across the country, who had
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the potential to make it big on the national stage.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: She knew how to pick them. Through campaign fundraising, extensive networking,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: personal charisma, and romantic or sexual relationships, they say here
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: with at least two Midwestern mayors, and Eric Swalwell. Eric Swalwell.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Fang was able to gain proximity to political power, according
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to current and former U.S. intel officials. Even though U.S.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: officials do not believe that Fang received or passed unclassified information,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the case was a big deal because there were some really,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: really sensitive people that were caught.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Up in it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, including Eric Swalwell, who ended up on the House
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Intel Committee. Fang took part in fundraising activity for Swalwell's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: 2014 re-election campaign, according to a Bay Area political operative
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and a current U.S. Intel official. Swalwell's office was directly
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: aware of these activities on its behalf, the political operative said.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That same political operative who witnessed Fang fundraising on Swalwell's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: behalf found no evidence of illegal contributions. So this is
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: another reason why the feds may have details on Eric Swalwell.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: The political donations. How aware was Eric Swalwell that the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Chai comms were routing money to his campaign campaign? This is,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: they were working to get him elected. The Chinese thought
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to themselves, that guy is going to work for our interests.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: He's going to work against his own country. Let's get
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: money into his coffers. Fang also helped place at least
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: one intern in Swalwell's office, according to the same two people,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and interacted with Swalwell, oh yes she did, at multiple
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: events over the course of several years. They definitely interacted.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: A statement from Swalwell's office, this was 2020, provided to Axios.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Representative Swalwell long ago provided information about this person, whom
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: he met more than eight years ago and whom he
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: hasn't seen in nearly six years to the FBI to
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: protect information that might be classified. He will not participate
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: in your story.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Got it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So wait, in this statement, Swalwell's the hero. Swalwell provided
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: information to the FBI. He's the hero of this story.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you want that out, Eric? Come on. Why
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't you release this information yourself? Your heroism deserves to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: be rewarded. Presidential Medal of Freedom, anybody? Eric Swalwell, come on, baby.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Stop being so scared that you're going to get all
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the credit that you deserve. But now he's trying to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: send a cease and desist to the FBI. Typical stuff.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So anyway, keep your eyes open for that. I love that.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I love, love, love that. Pretty funny stuff. Eric Swalwell.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: We may get some more information about him soon.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Transparency is the name of the game. I want to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: find out a lot more. All right, coming up in
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: just a moment, I want to tell you a little
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: bit more about what the FBI is revealing this week.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: We found out more about that horrific terror attack that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: took place at a synagogue in Michigan earlier this month.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: We know that it was a part of, what was it,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: four Islamic terror attacks, Islamist terror attacks, earlier this month
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: in the United States. And now we've found out more
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: detail about its connection to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the terror group. I've got more on that all ahead
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: on this edition of Vince. And of course, Senator Roger
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Marshall's coming up here shortly. We'll talk to him. I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: want to thank one of our great sponsors today. That
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: is Patriot Mobile for supporting our country and supporting this program.

  Speaker 1: chat saying that Fang Fang was hot. Thank you, Pelican Pete.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Pelican Pete, Fang Fang was hot. Yeah, wasn't Fang Fang
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: like way out of Eric Swalwell's league? Isn't there any
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: part of you? I've said this before, but I'll just reiterate.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Do you think Fang Fang was disappointed when she drew
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the Eric Swalwell straw? Like when all the Chi-Com spies
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: got together and they were each given their assignments and,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you know, Chinese Communist Party emissary turns to Fang Fang
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and says, you have Eric Swalwell? Does her face collapse
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: in disappointment? Like, okay, I'll do it for my country.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'll do it for the Chi-Coms. But only for the Chi-Coms.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's what alcohol
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: is for. Thank you, Ishmael. I think she drew the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: short straw. That's pretty funny.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Somebody's got the hots. Not out of his league, says 2BuckDC.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: 2BuckDC has the hots for Eric Swalwell. You've got to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: deal with that. I don't know what to tell you.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. I've got some other things to get
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to here. We've got the FBI. We got the FBI
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: revealing details of the Michigan synagogue terror attack this month.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Michigan earlier this month. a man called Ayman Mohammed Ghazali,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: 41 years old, born in Lebanon, buys a bunch of
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: guns and ammo and a huge quantity of commercial-grade fireworks
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and gasoline, and then he drives his vehicle directly through
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the doors of this synagogue. Remember, that one of the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: happy endings of this story is that the security guards
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: who were there, who were just trained by the FBI,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: not even a month before, in how to handle an
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: active shooter situation, they were there, weapons drawn, firing on
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: this guy and stopping this threat as he barrels into
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the building, which is, God bless him for it. But
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: this is horrible, this terror attack. So what was this? Well,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: take a look here. We got some more information cut too.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: He was motivated. by Hezbollah.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: Based on the evidence gathered to date, we assess this
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: attack to be a Hezbollah inspired act of terrorism, purposely
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: targeting the Jewish community and the largest Jewish temple in Michigan.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: The FBI defines terrorism as a violent criminal act by
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: an individual who is inspired by or associated with a
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: designated foreign terrorist organization. We do not make this characterization
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: lightly without a thorough review of and keen evaluation of
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: the facts. In this case, the evidence shows the attacker
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: was motivated and inspired by Hezbollah's militant ideology.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Motivated by Hezbollah. Terror attack here in the United States
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: of America. Meanwhile, DHS goes unfunded, thanks to the Democrats,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: who aren't that interested in homeland security right now. No
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: interest whatsoever. Everybody's on vacation. The entire United States Senate
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: right now. Again, we'll talk to Roger Marshall coming up
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: in a few minutes about that. but inspired by Hezbollah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Has the media been talking about this at some great length?
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Any concern whatsoever? Because it doesn't really seem like it.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm glad the FBI has given us an update on
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the subject. We also know, thanks to the FBI update yesterday,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: that the terrorist actually recorded a video of himself declaring
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: his motivations right before he conducted the attack. So all
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the evidence is there. He recorded it.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: God willing, I will kill as many of them as
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: I possibly can. He sends a quick three-second video with
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: the same screenshot shortly after and types the message, a
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: special operation. In between these videos and photos, the assailant
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: exchanged five short phone calls with his ex-wife, who called
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: Dearborn Heights, the police department, requesting that they do a
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: welfare check on her ex-husband. And at 1219... As we
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: all know, the assailant drove his vehicle ramming into the
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: doors of Door 5, and he hit it twice. Tried
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: once to hit it, had to reposition his truck, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: then came in at a high rate of speed, going
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: about 200 feet down the hallway.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: He screamed, Allahu Akbar. He shouted it into the video
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: camera before he conducted the attack. We have a problem
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: in America. We have people who have... invaded our country,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: often welcomed in by the Democrats, who have turned around
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and either actively killed Americans or attempted to. And in
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: this case, were stopped by armed Americans. That's the story
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: right now. We have a crisis in the United States
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: of America. We have a Homeland Security crisis and a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security that doesn't have funding right now
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: because the left wants the chaos. They want it. In fact,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: they want it so badly that they're willing to reinterpret
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: reality and invert it, and then to tell you that
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: good things are bad things. Like for instance, the left
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: is consistently attacking ICE. They're making out the good guys
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: are the bad guys in their worldview. And therefore we
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: have to stop, and in some cases attack in the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: left's eyes, the good guys to help induce the chaos.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: An example of this is yesterday on Ms.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: You know that network, Ms.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: It's where all the hosts have resting Democrat face. One
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: of their morning hosts, a woman called Mika Brzezinski, she
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: said that President Trump's use of ICE to alleviate the
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: airport traffic is actually a great thing because it reminds
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Americans of what a bunch of murderers they are. Take
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: a look at the delusional rantings of one Mika Brzezinski
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: over on Ms.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Watch.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: I mean, there are really no words to describe the
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: pain and trauma that this administration has caused for so
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: many people across the country with their deportation program. They're
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: violent and unlawful, brutish, and some would say murderous deportation program.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: It's totally lawful.
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: It's really a stain and a strain on what we
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: all know is the American dream. It's a value that
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: binds us together. And ICE rips that apart. So I
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: say ICE at airports may be a good idea. Because
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: as millions of people travel across the country... for spring
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: break or whatever else, they'll be reminded when they see
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: ICE of Trump's worst policy, at least one of his
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: worst policies ever to rain down on this country. So
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: let us never turn a blind eye on what ICE
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: is doing to human beings in this country, America. And
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: let ICE at the nation's airports be that reminder for
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: everyone as they move on with their lives and go
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: on their vacations and live well as ICE rains hell
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: down on communities and people and families, some undocumented but
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: still with rights in this country. They break everything.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: And it's a good reminder. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Dispatches from opposite worlds. That's a perfect inversion of the truth.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I instantly was able to determine
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: that woman flies private. She's not actually going through security.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: She hasn't encountered ICE at the airport. She's flying private.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: There's no way. There's no way. Because Americans who've encountered
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: ICE at the airport have enjoyed their experiences. She thinks
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: this is some big own on the ICE agents. Oh,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: they'll see them and they'll be reminded of their tyranny.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: How they're making America a terrible place. Actually, what they're
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: going to do is they're going to find out that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: people like you have been lying to them. That's what
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: they'll do. That the spell can be broken by that
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: human contact with ICE officers who are there to help
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: American citizens on their travels. They're doing extra work now.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: As I've said before, they're the Marco Rubio of government agencies.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: They do it all. They're saving the lives of children.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: They're reuniting families. They're deporting illegals. And they're helping at
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the airport. They do it all. And as far as
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman and President Trump are concerned, they're going to
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: keep doing it as long as the need is there.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: As far as TSA is concerned, they've started receiving paychecks
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: thanks to the president's emergency order. He just put an
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: emergency order through to get them paid. which is wonderful.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: They got a couple of weeks of paychecks. And the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: goal here is to get everybody back to work. But
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: we need a permanent solution. And the permanent solution would
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: be if Congress would get its ass back to Washington
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and actually pass DHS funding. That would be good, wouldn't it?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we're going to talk to a U.S. Senator
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: about this, Roger Marshall, and find out his perspective on
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: why it is that the United States Senate is on
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a fake recess right now and what can be done
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: about it. It's all ahead on this edition of Vince.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I want to thank our great sponsors. That includes Brickhouse Nutrition,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: who've been supporting this program for as long as it's existed.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I love Brickhouse. Everybody's talking about the weight loss injections
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: these days. They're looking for dramatic weight loss. And fundamentally,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it comes down to lowering your blood sugar and reducing
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: your appetite. What if you want to do that, but
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you don't want painful weekly injections, especially when you hear
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: about some of the side effects? This is why doctors
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: at Brickhouse Nutrition created a weight loss supplement called Lean,
• 28:12

• 29:45
  Speaker 1: here to join us on the program right now, I'm
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: glad to have with us Senator Roger Marshall of the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: great state of Kansas. Sir, it is so good as
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: always to talk to you today. Thank you, sir, for
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: joining us.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Miss, look forward to the conversation. We got a lot
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: to talk about.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: We do have a lot to talk about. Tell me
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: why the United States Senate is in what I call
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a fake recess. And what I mean by that, I
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: know you know this, but right now the Senate's not
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: actually in an official recess. They're gaveling every couple of days.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And the reason that the Senate does that is to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: prevent the president from exercising his recess appointment power. That's
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: why the Senate does this. That all seems crazy to me.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Why is this happening right now?
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Well, Well, Vince, I wish I had a great explanation,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: and I really don't, and I don't pretend to have one.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: All I can tell you is that the Democrats do
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: not want to fund ICE. They don't want to fund DHS.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: They want these tens of millions of people that are
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: in this country illegally, they want to give them a
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: path to citizenship and a path to vote. So we're
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: just beating our head against the wall. Remember, it was
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: 30 days before, 30 days after they shut down DHS
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: that they were willing to even sit down and talk
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: to us. I think they've proven, they've proven that we
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: overestimated that we could get 10 of them across the
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: aisle and join us in funding DHS or ICE. We're
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: just at an impasse. So we need to work on
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: a reconciliation bill. It'll take them two weeks, them, Leader Thune,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: John Thune, Speaker Johnson, the White House, to figure out
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: what that reconciliation package looks like. As soon as they
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: get it together, you know, we'll come back and vote
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: But why is the Senate taking a vacation at all?
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So because as I understand it, and you can speak
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: to it very directly, Senator, one of the ways you
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: can compel senators to actually do something is the tyranny
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of the process. You just exhaust them. You force them
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: to work a lot. And eventually they're like, I don't
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: want to be here anymore. OK, fine, I'll vote yes
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: on this. And why not use that during this really,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: first of all, is a critical election year. But more importantly,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you know, the president has this agenda to save America.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: We have to get the Save America Act passed. Super important. Also,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: DHS needs to be funded. Why not just take this
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to the mat and fight like crazy right now? Why
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: have a vacation at all?
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because, well, no one's on vacation. I'm in the
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: middle of my 105-county tour. I'm back here meeting the
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: people of Kansas. We were getting nothing done in Washington. Insanity,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: doing the same thing over, expecting a different result. When
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: you're in the minority, when you're in the minority of
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: the Senate, it gives you the advantage. So what they
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: can do is we tried to drag this out as
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: best we could with them. But when you're in the minority,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: you can ask for quorum calls. You can ask for
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: amendments on the floor, forcing the majority to stick around.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: So we saw that. We stuck around over a week
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: of them. Ten of them checked out. You know, who
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: was the first one on the train out of town?
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: You know, it's Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. When we
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: went up for the weekend, they don't need to stick
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: around for the votes. But when you had the majority,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: you have to stick around. So it punishes the majority.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: And that's the way it was set up. It was
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: set up. The Senate is set up to protect the minority. Remember,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: we're not a democracy. We're a republic. So the Senate.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: protect those who are in the minority, and Senate in
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: general protects small states.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I think I understand the point you're making, and you
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: may not be on vacation. You may be working during
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: this period, but I just saw pictures of Lindsey Graham
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: at Disney World. There's clearly members of the Senate who
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: are on vacation right now. And my thought process, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: certainly I know that my audience shares this, is we
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: have to torment the Senate into compliance. We have to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: torment the Senate into getting these critical priorities passed And
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: when you see senators leave town, you're left with only
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: this conclusion, which is like, they don't think this is
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: as important as we do.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Vince, again, I can assure you that at the leadership position,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: they're trying to hammer this out. The Democrats have said
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: hell no. They've said hell no to voter ID. Not
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: one Democrat senator would vote for voter ID despite 70%
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: of Democrats supporting voter ID. And they will not fund ICE.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: They're not going to fund DHS. So they have closed
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: that circuit. Shame on us for thinking for some 40
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: days that we could get some Democrats to come across
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the aisle. Now, I do wish the Senate could do
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: a better job of going down two roads at the
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: same time. I was looking for a reconciliation bill weeks
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: ago and to get started on that. But the leadership
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: folks are putting this reconciliation bill together, working hand in
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: hand with the White House. It'll be a miracle for
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: them to get this together in two weeks to figure
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: out exactly what we're going to fund. How are we
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: going to put the SAVE Act into a reconciliation bill?
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: So it sounds really easy, but right now our staffs
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: are working really hard. phone calls as needed. Look, I'm
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: not anxious. I'm as determined as you are, but it
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: looks easier said than done.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Okay. So you mentioned reconciliation. Obviously, that's a vehicle where
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: funding priorities can happen. So funding DHS, for instance, that
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a difficult call for reconciliation. But the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Save America Act, you know, Mike Lee has already declared
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that's impossible. Like getting any real priorities and reconciliation for
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the Save America Act That's impossible because it needs to
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: have a meaningful budgetary impact to be included in reconciliation.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: These are matters of policy for the United States, the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Save America Act, like whether or not you have to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: show an ID at the polls, not something apparently that
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: can be done in reconciliation. And this is not even
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: a Senate rule. This is a statute. This is a law,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the way reconciliation is conducted. So what do you anticipate
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Biz, I mean, you're spot on. I don't want
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: to overpromise and underdeliver. What we cannot do with reconciliation,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: by reconciliation, we reconcile the budget. So whatever we pass,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: vote on even, has to do more with budget than
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: with policy. So, for instance, with the last reconciliation bill,
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: our working family tax cuts bill, we weren't able to
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: outlaw abortion, but we were able to defund Planned Parenthood
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: for a year. So I think we have to use
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: that same type of technique with this reconciliation bill, and
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: it'll have to be very thoughtful. So what we cannot do,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: we're not going to be able to force states to
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: have voter ID or proof of citizenship. But what we
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: can do is use the power of the purse. So
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: right now, 35 states have some type of voter ID.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: What we can do is give them monies. to help
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: them work on their voter rolls. And we can hook
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: them up with technology to look at DHS's rolls, who's
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: on government aid, immigration aid. We can have them look
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: at Social Security information. We can have them look at
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: the passport information and figure out if the people who
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: are registered to vote in their states are citizens or not.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: So I think that there is some power of the
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: purse here. Every year we give the states about between
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: $ 15 and $ 75 million for elections. So I think that if, look,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure if we can do this all the way,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: but in my opinion, if you don't go back and
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: go through your voter rolls every year, if you don't
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: have voter ID, then we're not going to give you
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: any of that money. So I think there's some things
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: we can nip at the edges, just like we defunded
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Planned Parenthood.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: So you think it is possible to create either incentives
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: or consequences for states who don't have election integrity?
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I think so. I think, you know, basically we can
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: stop funding these blue states that have, you know, I
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: think the biggest challenge to me is when you send
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: out unsolicited ballots and you don't have any type of confirmation.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Is that person dead you sent it to or not?
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Do they still live in the state? All those types
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: of things as well. So I think we can defund
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: those blue states that have no election integrity. We'll see.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: And again, it's easier said than done. It has to
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: be thoughtful. We have to do the birdbath. And it'll
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: take days arguing this in front of the parliamentarian.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I want to use some of the evidence that you
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: just laid out against the Democrats to point out that
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: perhaps the filibuster as it exists right now is overdue
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to be torn up. Because these Democrats, you have a
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: gentleman's agreement with them on a number of issues in
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the United States Senate. The filibuster is an example of that.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: You basically, because they're in the minority right now, they've
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: got power over Senate business if you can't get 60
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: votes on most things. Also, you've got the blue slip
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: process that allows Democrats to simply veto U.S. attorney picks
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and federal judges if they're in their state. Like Adam
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Schiff gets a veto over the president's picks. These gentlemen's agreements...
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: are not serving the American people well anymore. There was
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: a time when they might have been, but now they're
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: not because you can't even get senators to fund the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security. That's how crazy this has gotten,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Senator Marshall. So at what point do we say, you
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: know what? We should scrap this because it is hurting
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: our country. It's not merely some tool that's gonna help
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: us in the future. The Democrats are gonna blow through it.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Vince, I agree with you, but it wasn't
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: without months of thought about it. I've thought about this
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: as much as I thought about what college I was
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: going to go to, what medical school I was going
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: to go to, what type of doctor I was going
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: to be after I finished medical school. And it's been
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: a process for me, but I'm ready to do it.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I come to that same conclusion. But I would guess,
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I think there's only 10 or 12 of us on
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: public record saying we're ready to end the filibuster. I
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: bet there's a third of the Senate that's a hell no,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Republican senators, and probably a third that are undecided. And
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: these are thoughtful people, Vince. However much time, I mean,
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: with all due respect that you've spent on this, United
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: States senators have spent 10x time debating this. And we
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: have debated it many times, that again, the filibuster protects
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: you when you're in the minority, and we're not going
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: to be in the majority all the time. And the
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Senate itself protects small states. Again, we're a republic and
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: not a democracy. And so I guess I'm saying is
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: I respect where they're coming from. But I think that
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: that Election integrity is so important that I'm willing to
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: end the filibuster, especially the silent filibuster. Make them go
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: up and hold the floor and talk as long as
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: they want to. So I'm very willing to do that.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: But again, a third of my Republican colleagues are not.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: And these are thoughtful people. I know we kind of
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: like to trash some of them, but these are very
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: thoughtful people.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe so. But as you concluded, they're wrong. They're
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: wrong on this position because what they're not recognizing that
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: you've clearly come to a recognition about is what time
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: it is in our country, that you're dealing with agents
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: of chaos across the political aisle and that they will
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: gain power and they will kick that wall down and
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to establish new states. They're going to grow
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: their Senate majority fraudulently. They're going to pack the United
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: States Supreme Court. Peril lies ahead if more senators don't
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: arrive at your position. So you may find them to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: be making sophisticated arguments, but you clearly believe that they're wrong, correct?
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do. And this is one of my summary
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: thoughts in my head is I don't want to die
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: on this sort of principle. Look, I have my values
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: and my sort of principle, but I don't want to
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: lose the republic because of it, right? I live in
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: the real world. I don't live in an ivory tower.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: If you would enshrine the filibuster in the- and tell
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: me the Democrats will never take it away, I would
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: probably vote yes on that. But that's not the world
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: we live in, as you pointed out. There's no longer
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: this political middle. And we just come to a gridlock, unfortunately.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: That's what it feels like to me, is we've come
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: to this gridlock for a lot of reasons. And it
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: is just a different day in America than it was
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: in 1917 when they started these filibuster rules.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Can you take, I always ask senators to try and
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: take me behind the scenes, if you could, in terms
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: of like, you know, the way things are working inside
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: of that building. John Thune was asked many times this
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: year about the Save America Act and the use of
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: the speaking filibuster as a tool to pass it. And
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: this audience is pretty familiar with the way that that
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: would work. But just to remind people, it would be
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: by a simple majority, but you would need all the
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Republican senators to agree to engage in this process. And
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: it would be a long-winded one. no doubt, to engage
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: in a fight like that. But at the end of it,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: if you exhaust everybody speaking, you can pass legislation by
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: simple majorities. The way the Senate used to conduct business
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: just doesn't do it anymore these days. Having said all that,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: every time John Thune was asked about it, he would
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: just say, well, we just don't have the numbers. We
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: just don't have the numbers, is what he would say.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: He would kind of assess it like he was a dispassionate,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: you know, play-by-play commentator. But he's the leader. As President
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Trump just said this week, again, he's like, if you're
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: a leader, you need to be a leader. You need
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to twist some arms. You need to actually try and
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: convince people to join this fight. How much arm twisting
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: was going on in the Senate, Senator? How much was
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the leadership trying to get people to use the speaking
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: filibuster to pass this?
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, everyone has their different leadership skills, Vince,
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: and I would say that John Thune has done an
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: incredible job. I think his leadership is more listening publicly,
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: but every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, we have lunch together as
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: a Republican caucus for an hour and a half, and
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: that's where the real debate occurs, without cameras on, and
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: unless somebody's leaking information out of there, and unfortunately some
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: of my colleagues do that, What's said in there is
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: supposed to stay in there. So I think that he
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: and then John Brasso is the whip. I respect the
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: heck out of these people. I think they did as
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: much arm twisting as you can in the United States Senate. Look,
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: these are grown men and women, okay? These are not
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: some puppets that were sent here. We're not lemmings like
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: the Democrats. When Chuck Schumer tells his members to jump,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: they jump. And that's not who the Republicans are. We
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: believe in our principles, and we're going to stand up,
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: and that's why you love us. That's why you love
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: our party, that we can debate this and we can disagree,
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: but I still love the fellow— I' ve never been— it' s been a
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: long time since I've been this part of a close team,
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: that we are fighting together. So I think the SAVE
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: Act is a great example. I think we have 50,
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: maybe 51 votes for Republicans who would vote for the
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: SAVE Act. But if we were to talk about ending reconciliation,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: we lose 10, 20. It's not even close. If it
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: was two or three people, it would be much easier.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: But I think a third of the Republican senators are
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: against ending the filibuster, and a third are undecided. These
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: are grown-up people. Yes, sir.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: And sorry, just to be clear, I'm not talking about
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: ending the filibuster in this case. I'm talking about using
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: the speaking filibuster as the technique to pass this. And
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: that would require a simple majority as well. It would
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: just be an exhaustive process. And my question was simply,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: is John Barrasso and John Thune. Do they support using
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: that technique? Did they say that to you and other senators?
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to say, Vince, that's a fool's errand.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: I spent weekends doing AI and doing war models on
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: how this would work out and we always lose. When
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: you're in the minority, you can sabotage this. And that
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: was my point, is that.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: The minority can bring up amendments and then Republicans have
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: to produce a majority to go in there and block
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: their silly amendments. They would give us amendments on so
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: many silly things and some of them would pass, right?
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: Some of their silly amendments, I call them silly, but
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: they're poison pills and then would kill the bill. They
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: could ask for a quorum call as well. And we
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: would have to get up 10 times in the middle
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: of the night. So we would be anchored here It
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: would go on for months. Every time they bring up
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: a new amendment, then each one of them gets two
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: more speeches as well. I'm sorry that I'm disappointed that
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: it was presented as an easy task. But I think
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: there's a 99 percent chance that we lose that at
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: the end of the game. And that's that's my opinion.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: I spent hours on this trying to figure out, you know,
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: how does it really end up? We end up losing
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: it 99 times out of 100, if not 100 times
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: out of 100. OK, and I get.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Believe me, I'm listening to you explain this. I'm thinking
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: through like there's a million different things that I've seen
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: on this subject. So I won't I won't engage you
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: in a never ending back and forth on the specifics.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: But I just I just I will say that I'm
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: concerned about, you know, I'm just concerned about the state
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: of our country right now. And I think I think
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I hope I speak on behalf of you and certainly
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: for our audience that we just want to see more
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: forward progress. The president of the United States is. is
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: calling for anything that can possibly be done right now.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: What should the Senate be doing right now that it's
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: not doing, in your view, Senator Marshall?
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: Desperation that we're losing our republic. I share that 110%.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: And I think it's great that you can challenge me.
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: And just like you're challenging me, these are the same
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: type of discussions that we have at lunchtime in the
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: United States Senate as well. So those same conversations are happening. Look,
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: I think we are forced to do reconciliation. As soon
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: as we passed the working family tax cuts, I was
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: ready to go ahead and work on reconciliation then, that
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: I've come to the conclusion that Democrats hate Donald Trump
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: so much, if he brought a cure for cancer to
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: the Senate floor, they would vote against it. And that's
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: just the political reality that we live in right now.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: And I still think there's some moral issues and value
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: issues going on back home as well. And people say,
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: you know, what can you do to help me? Look,
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: we need people with traditional American values of faith and family, community,
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: hard work, you know, running for the school board and
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: all those local offices as well. So I think there's
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: things that we need to do back home to shore
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: up our families and our families. But you're absolutely right.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: This is a time I've never seen. It probably goes
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: back to the Civil War when you had two parties
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: so distantly split. One more thing. about this, but I
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: think in this day and age, what I see is
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: the far right and the far left running these political parties.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: It's the tail wagging the dog, that this vocal minorities
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: control the narrative, they control the fundraising, and they control
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: the news cycle as well. And the legacy media just
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: beats the hell out of all of us. So if
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: you're a moderate, and I didn't use the word moderate,
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: if you're a sensible Democrat and you want to vote
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: for voter ID or funding ICE, I mean, you will
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: be torn to pieces And by your own party. And
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: it is much more difficult than I think folks back
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: home realize what it's like to get torn up by
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: your own party.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I know right now on the right, the
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: left has its own problems with radicalism. On the right,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest problem we have right now is
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: a concern about a disinterested status quo in Washington that
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: is far too prone to sort of those establishment reflexes.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and not paying close enough attention to where the people are.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: And that's the frustration, I think, that spells out. And
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: the reason why so many senators are getting phone calls
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: right now is because of that sentiment. Senator Marshall, I'm
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: appreciative of you coming on, sir. Thank you for joining
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: us today to talk about this. I hope you do
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: it again soon.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Vince, thank you for the conversation and thanks for
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: letting me adequately respond. And we're in this together. That's
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: all I can tell you, our listeners. We're the patriots
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: of today. We have to save this democracy, this republic.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: And I'm just out here battling every day with you.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: So thanks so much for your help.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Senator. Appreciate you coming on, sir. There he is,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas here on the program. You know,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: like like I said, you know, I could I could
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: probably I could spend another hour litigating all of the
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: specifics about the the speaking filibuster. We watch as Rachel
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Bovard and others have talked about the details like filling
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: the amendment tree and then getting some Republican unity on voting.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: no on whatever random poison pill amendments Democrats think they
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: can offer. But what we're looking for is a fight.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: We're looking for a fight. That's what we want, very simply.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: We're looking for people who are willing to stand up
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: for what they believe. In fact, that's the story here
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: In the NBA, you guys seen the story this week
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: of this NBA player from the Chicago Bulls. His name
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: is Jaden Ivey. And he was just fired by the
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Bulls because he said he believes in Jesus and he
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: objects to the NBA promoting Pride Month. That's a reasonable objection.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: You can't say that out loud. He said it out
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: loud and they canned him. Take a look here. Jaden Ivey,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: this is cut eight, talking about his faith in Christ.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: And this is what got him canned.
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: The world can proclaim LGBTQ. Right? They proclaim Pride Month
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: and the NBA. They proclaim it. They show it to
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: the world. They say, come Come join us for pride.
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: For pride month. To celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: So how is it that that One can't speak righteousness.
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: How are they to say that, man, this man is crazy?
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: I'm not the J.I. I used to be. But the
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: old J.I.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Is dead.
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: I'm alive in Christ. No matter what the basketball setting is,
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: I'm born again, the Holy Spirit. And I've been saved
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: by Jesus Christ. No matter how many DNPs I don't
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: get to play or no matter how many points I score,
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: those things are a temporary thing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Those things are a temporary thing. He's had a massive
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: breakthrough in his life. You know, if you listen to
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: him talking in the past about what he was into,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: what his life had become. He was like, my whole
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: life was the NBA. And I had fallen into all
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: sorts of states of sin, actually. My life was kind
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: of ruined by it. Josh, do you have this by
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: any chance, this example of Ivy talking about how his
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: faith in Jesus saved him? All right, good. Let's play this.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: I want people to hear this. He goes, the NBA
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: was everything to me. And eventually, he wasn't a starter anymore.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: And he was starting to feel depressed about this. He
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm not starting anymore. He's sitting on the bench.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: And then he started realizing, wait a second, there are
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: more important things in life than all of these sort
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: of shallow, sinful distractions I was engaging in.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: All I'm preaching is about Jesus Christ and they weighed me, right?
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: They say I'm crazy, right? I'm psycho. That don't add up, man.
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: That's not adding up, right? God let these happen. God
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: let these things happen for a reason. May his will
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: be done. May his will be done.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: May his will be done. Not my will. My will
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: is done.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's him reacting to the news that they canned
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: him yesterday. I think he was boarding a flight and
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: he was filming a video of that. And he seems...
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: He seems at peace with it. He seems at peace
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: with it. He must've read his Bible. He knows that
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: this is a part of the deal as Christ laid
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: this out in the Beatitudes. But also here is, again, Josh, again,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: this is when him talking about how the NBA was
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: everything to him. Do you have that clip? You do
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: have that. Okay, here it is. Here's Jaden Ivey, watch.
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: The NBA was everything to me. I didn't know God.
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: I didn't know Jesus when I came to the NBA.
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: I used to get drunk. That's all I knew. And
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: after a win, I felt good. After all those points,
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: I felt good.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I felt good.
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: I felt like I had everything set out for me.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: But but as soon as that shut down for me,
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: as soon as I didn't start, that's that's when that's
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: when God was humbling me. And he said he sat
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: me down for a reason.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: He sat me down for a reason. Man, listen to
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: the honesty from that guy. Just he said, what did
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: he say? He said, when I came to the NBA,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. I
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: used to get drunk. That's all I knew. After all
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: those points, I felt good. I felt like everything was
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: set out for me. And then he said he found Christ.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: He found Christ. Okay, so, I mean, what do you
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: object to there? What's the objectionable thing that came out
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: of his mouth? The Chicago Bulls posted a statement to
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the internet last night. That said the following, look, this
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: is it. Just a little graphic of a Bulls logo.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has waived
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: guard Jaden Ivey due to conduct detrimental to the team.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Conduct detrimental to the team? What did he, did he
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: smack a woman around? Was he accused of rape? Was
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: he in a DUI? What is the conduct that's detrimental
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: to the team? Did he accuse Donald Trump of being Hitler?
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Did he say that ICE agents are murderers? Did he
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: do any of those things? Because last I checked, all
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: of the things I just mentioned are things that other
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: NBA players or coaches have done, and they haven't been
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: canned by their teams for conduct detrimental to the team.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: So what is this?
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Why an attack in particular on Christianity? Because that's all
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: he's expressing is Christianity. You know, another former Chicago Bull
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: is now a head coach in the NBA, Steve Kerr.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Steve Kerr. And just in January, he is an out-of-control
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: left-wing zealot who uses his time in front of the
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: microphone to say the most insane and dishonest things imaginable
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: to advance the power of the Democrat Party. And in January,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: he was accusing ICE agents of being murderers in the
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: United States of America during an NBA press conference. Watch,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: here's Steve Kerr. This is him in January.
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: I'm glad that the Timberwolves recognized her life and the
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: tragic nature of her death. It's shameful, really, that in
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: our country we can have law enforcement officers who commit
• 57:00
  Speaker 7: murder and seemingly get away with it. It's shameful that
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: the government can come out and lie about what happened
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: when there's video and Witnesses who have all come out
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: and disputed what the government is saying. So very demoralizing,
• 57:17
  Speaker 7: devastating to lose anyone's life, especially in that matter. So
• 57:25
  Speaker 7: it's terrible, terribly sad for her family and for her
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: and for that city. And I'm glad the Timberwolves came
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: out and expressed that sadness.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: It's left wing psychobabble, just complete left wing psychobabble. He
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: has no idea what he's even talking about. He's just
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: spreading a poisonous lie designed to demonize ICE and demonize
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States. And he wasn't removed
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: for conduct. What is the stupid phrase that they're using?
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Conduct that's detrimental to the team. They didn't get rid
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: of him for conduct detrimental to the team. No, they
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: kept them around. This is madness. And again, it goes precisely...
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to the words of Jesus Christ and the Sermon on
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: the Mount and the Beatitudes. And today I want to
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: end with this. This comes to us from, well, from scripture,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: but today it's been shared with us by the running
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: back for the New England Patriots. God bless him for this.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: The media is all over him right now for saying this.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Travion Henderson posting this to X Overnight. And he posted
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of scripture, but this is the big one.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Good for him. Good
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: for him. Standing up for a fellow Christian, standing up
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: for the truth, standing up for decency in the face
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: of indecency. What a story. What a story. Keep the faith,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: stay in the fight, no matter the cost. Thank you,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: as always, for being here with us today. I've got

• 59:45
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: This is not a football game. If you vote, we
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: will win. It is not complicated.
