• 0:27
  Speaker 1: with him. We just completed it yesterday. in the Eisenhower
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: executive office building right next to the White House, right
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: there at the White House complex. That's where the vice
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: president keeps his, well, traditionally it's the ceremonial office, but
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I'm told by the VP staff that occasionally to get
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: away from the hustle and bustle of the West Wing
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and to really intensely focus on all of the work
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: he has, he actually uses it, which is an amazing thing.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: He gets to sit at the desk that was Teddy
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Roosevelt's desk when he was the president of the United States.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in the West Wing. That very desk is now J.D.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Vance's desk. It's like the coolest thing ever. Got to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: see that up close and personal yesterday.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Very cool.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And we've got a big conversation ahead with the vice president.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He discusses with us fraud arrests, housing prices, deportations, Iran,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the midterms. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, what we like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to gavel in on, the Save America Act. We talk
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: about the Save America Act and so much more So
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in just a moment, you're going to get a chance
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to see the whole thing. Thanks for being here with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: us today. If you're watching on the live show, alert
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: your friends and family that our interview is about to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: begin because it's a good one. I promise you a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: lot of news here. You're about to see it. Before
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we get there, though, I got to thank Native Path
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Collagen for being a mighty sponsor of our program today.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Appreciate them. You know, getting older is not something that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: bothers me, but feeling older, that kind of annoys me.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's the little things, waking up stiff, the skin not
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: bouncing back the same way. It turns out there's a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: reason for that. And that's why I love Native Path Collagen.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Collagen helps support everything from joints and bones to skin
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and hair. And the problem is after age 30, you
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: know your body often makes less collagen every year. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: by age 60, a lot of people have lost about
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: half of it. But Native Path Collagen helps replenish that protein.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and help support the parts of your body that help
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you stay active, make you vital, make you more like yourself.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And another thing I love about Native Path, if you
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: don't feel a real difference in your health, you get
• 2:24

• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We had an extraordinary trip to Washington, D.C. yesterday. The
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: whole team, I got my team in from Florida, flying
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: out from the Bongino Studios down there to join me
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for this big adventure. And here it is again. This
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is the worldwide exclusive interview with the vice president of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the United States. What a privilege to have the vice
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: president of the United States with me. Thank you very much.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: It's nice to see you. Great to do this beautiful office.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you. It is gorgeous.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: What an awesome office. We were just appreciating the history
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of it. I got a chance to see Teddy Roosevelt's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: presidential desk, your desk now.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: How cool is that? It's very cool. More importantly, Kamala
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Harris's vice presidential desk. These titans of American history, Teddy Roosevelt,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: She, like everybody else, signed inside the drawer. And I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: just saw it a moment ago. And I realized that's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the one thing I like about Kamala Harris. Very good signature.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Great signature. Beautiful signature. I agree. I agree. So I'll
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: have something to emulate here when I leave this office. Yeah,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's got to be better than that. Yeah, that's right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Let's kind of talk about one
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of the things that I want to talk about with
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you is all of the jobs that you have. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't think people appreciate the number of gigs that you have.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Everyone wants to talk about Marco.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: We've got the memes.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But you do have a lot of jobs. And just
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: off the top of my head, some of the things
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you're doing, you're the anti-fraud czar. You're the head of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: finance for the Republican National Committee. You're the president of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the Senate. You're leading Iranian negotiations. How do you end
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: up with all of these jobs? How does that happen?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just the nature of working for Donald Trump.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, you mentioned Marco, but I think all of us,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: when he wants something done, he has this sort of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: cadre of people that he trusts and knows that they'll
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: work hard and make things happen. So he'll say, all right,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: this needs to happen. We need to fight fraud. J.D.,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that's your job. We need to take over the National Archives. Marco,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that's your job. And that's just kind of the nature.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I think he himself has a highly intense, frenetic work pace.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: He's always sort of focusing on something and working on something.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And I think because of that, the rest of the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: team kind of absorbs that attitude. So if there's something
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that needs to be done, we don't sit around and say, okay, well,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: let's nominate some person who's going to do this. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: five weeks later, they'll get it done. We just sort
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of take it on ourselves.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: How important is this fraud mission to the president and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to you? Because I saw you just share that we're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: at over a quarter trillion dollars in and fraud that
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you've detected and stopped. How important is this mission? What
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: value is it to the average American?
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Well, it's very important to both me and the president,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: but I think most importantly, it's very important to the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: American people. I mean, there really are two core elements
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of the fraud mission. First of all, we're obviously trying
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to protect the American taxpayers' money. So you write a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: check to the IRS every month, every time you, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: every two weeks you get your pay stub and you
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: see the amount of money that is taken from you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: by the federal government. Don't you want to know that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the money... that the government takes from you is actually
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: being spent on the things that should be spent on. Okay,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: that's number one, very important. But a second and I
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: would say equally important thing is, you know, the social
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: contract in this country is that we all have responsibilities
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and obligations, but also rights and privileges as United States citizens.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: We have to pay our taxes, but we're also protected
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: by the world's most powerful military. You know, you and
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: me and all of our citizens who pay taxes, they're
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: paying for things like insuring low-income children can see a doctor.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I happen to think that's a good thing. But those
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: programs only exist on the back of some level of
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: social trust. It only exists, you're only going to pay
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that money to the federal government if you know it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: going where it's supposed to go. And so when we
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: allow fraudsters to get rich off these programs, we destroy
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the basic social trust that I think makes American society
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: so generous and so compassionate and such a good place
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to live. I don't want to live in a low-trust
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: society where people get rich from fraud. I want to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: live in a high-trust society where people get rich from
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: doing something important and valuable.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But how does all this money get stolen in the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: first place? So it's one thing for criminals to try
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and steal it. It's another for the leaders who are
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: supposed to have a fiduciary responsibility over it to just
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: let it go out the door. And I've noticed that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of Democrat-run states where it's happening. So
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you've got Gavin Newsom and Tim Walz. Why is this happening?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And is there criminal culpability by the people who let
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it happen? It kind of seems like they're aware of it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: You know, we're certainly looking into criminal culpability. You don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: want to prejudge these things. Obviously, everybody's entitled to their
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: day in court. But certainly, you see some of these things.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And we have filed a number of criminal cases. So
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: when we feel like the evidence matches the record here
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and it justifies a criminal complaint, we certainly go and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You've made criminal referrals against leaders?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Not yet against, like, governor-level leaders, but we certainly made
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: criminal referrals against a number of people who were implementing
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: these programs, some of the bureaucrats, so leaders in that sense.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: But not yet, you know, somebody, like, I haven't seen
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: the evidence yet that Tim Walz knew about the sort of,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: or at least had criminal culpability for the fraud. He
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: was certainly turning the other cheek. He was turning a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: blind eye towards it, which is a problem in and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: of itself. But whether it's a criminal problem is the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: sort of thing that we try to let the lawyers
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and the Department of Justice people figure out. It's certainly
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: very bad. And certainly at some of the bureaucrats' level,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: we're seeing real evidence of criminal fraud. Now, that said, though,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: why does it happen? This is very interesting. It's because
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: people just aren't paying attention. And, you know, again, sometimes
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: there's criminal activity, but a lot of times it's just
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: basic managerial incompetence. And it's people, I think, because they
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: know that their bread is buttered by the fraudsters and
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the people who get rich from the fraud.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: They don't take it very seriously pushing back against this.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: There was audio of Keith Ellison sitting on camera talking
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to these guys who were defrauding people with the food
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: program in Minnesota. And they said they wanted to make
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a political contribution. They were looking to get the investigation
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: off of them. And he said money buys freedom.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So I see all that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, that kind of feels like the elements
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of a crime.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Look, again, certainly wrongdoing. The thing about being the Vice
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: President of the United States is when you go out
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and accuse people of criminal wrongdoing, that sometimes can destroy
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the predicate for a good criminal case. And so we
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: try to be careful here about what the President and
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I say about these things. But look, we have a number,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a number of Department of Justice investigations ongoing. One of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the things I remind people is if you look at
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: sort of normally to build a federal criminal fraud case,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: it takes years. We've actually gotten a number of criminal
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: fraud prosecutions in just a few months. So we're going
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: at breakneck speed for the justice system. There will be
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: more to come. But we know that there is a
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: lot of fraud out there. And yes, we know that
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: it's happening at the leader level. But we also want
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to let the lawyers and the actual facts drive these decisions,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: not politics. And that's, of course, something that makes us
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: different from the Biden administration is we let the law
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: drive this stuff. Not the politics.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: OK, one more thing on this subject. You have a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: very novel build for how you confront it. In addition
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to having this task force, you have an assistant attorney general,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Colin McDonald, who reports directly to you, or at least
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: as I understand it, he does. Why has that system
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: been set up? Why is it that you have an
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: assistant attorney general reporting to the vice president of the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: United States?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Well, so of course it reports to the attorney general,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: but he works very closely with us at the Fraud
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Task Force to identify, you know, when I say identify,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: So much of the fraud that's happening is it'll happen
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: in one department, but the rest of the government will
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: be blind to it. Or it'll actually happen across departments,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and you need the departments to coordinate a little bit,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: which is why I've taken such an active role in
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: this is because I'm one of two people who sort
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: of oversees the entire federal government in the administration. Colin
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: is a great guy, but one of the things when
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: we set up this fraud task force and we started
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to look at what works well and doesn't work well
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: in fighting fraud, the thing that we realized is you
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: needed a committed anti-fraud person with a very senior role,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a Senate-confirmed role at the Department of Justice. So we
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: actually created one. This position didn't exist until the fraud
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: task force. We created it, found the right guy, got
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: him confirmed, and he's an amazing, amazing asset. Because again,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: when I talk about how quickly And I know some
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: people say three months to get to a fraud prosecution,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that's a long time. By the standards of the American
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: federal justice system, that is a lightning pace. The reason
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: why we've been able to go so fast is because
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: we've had a committed anti-fraud person at the Department of Justice.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, another issue of fraud against the American people is
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the extent to which we've had illegal aliens pour into
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: our country. Huge, huge numbers. And I was reminded of,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you did an interview with the New York Times at
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: one point with a woman called Lulu, I believe. who
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: had asked you about how are you going to bring
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: down housing prices. And you were like, just deport lots
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of people. That actually would be a good way to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: bring down housing prices. And I just saw this weekend
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: DHS sharing. This is an amazing piece of data. DHS
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: just said that in the places where we've had the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: most ICE enforcement and the most cooperation, rents are coming
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: down dramatically. So were you proven correct by all of this?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: That's basically the question.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Frankly, a lot of the problems that exist in
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: American society would be solved, not all of them, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: just by deporting illegal aliens. lower housing prices, lower rents,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: lower violent crime statistics. One of the reasons why we
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: have a historically low murder rate is, of course, because
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: we've been supporting law enforcement, but also because we've gotten
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of violent criminals out of the United States
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of America. But I remember that interview, Vince, because what
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Lulu said is, well, there's no economic evidence to support
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that deporting a lot of people who are competing against
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Americans for homes would lower the cost of homes. I'm like, well,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it's basic supply and demand. Second of all, there actually
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: was a lot of economic evidence, both in England and
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: in the United States. Our own Federal Reserve had done
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: an economic analysis and said, well, if you get rid
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: of all these people who are competing against Americans for homes,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: then it's going to cause home prices to go down. Also,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: by the way, if you deport a lot of people
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: who are competing against Americans for jobs, it's going to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: raise wages for middle-class Americans. Both of those things are
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: obviously a consequence of supply and demand, but it's interesting
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: to me, I'm always fascinated by just the mindset and
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the psychology of the people who lord over us. And
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the fact that you don't see an association between dropping
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: a million illegal aliens into a state and the upward
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: pressure that would put on home prices, you have to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: be economically blind to not see that. Unfortunately, that's true
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of a lot of our leadership.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's for sure. It's just an amazing thing. So
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: on illegal aliens and deportations, there was a kind of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a back and forth, kind of a chaotic story from
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: this weekend that ICE had sent out guidance telling people, hey,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: we're not deporting people we incidentally run into as we
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: do these raids, just the murderers and the rapists. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: then DHS came out and then said, actually, that's not true.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Everybody's still on the table for deportation. Can you just
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: clarify what the position is?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, the president of the United States
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: has said clearly, if you are in the country illegally,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you are subject to deportation. And we prefer, of course,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that you pick up your bags and go home yourself.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: But you are subject to deportation if you're in the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: country illegally. Coming to the United States illegally is a crime,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and we treat it as such. Now, I think the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: back and forth is, unfortunately, sometimes You have people who
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: are leaking to reporters some internal policy documents. And my
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: understanding of what happened is that, you know, yes, if you,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: let's say, have a DHS agent and that guy can
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: deport one person that day, he can go and deport
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: a violent criminal or a person who hasn't committed a
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: violent crime, of course we're going to prioritize the violent criminals.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: But that is not a reflection of overall deportation policy.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: That's about prioritizing fundamentally limited resources. One of the things...
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm proudest of both our DHS secretary, but
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: also Stephen Miller, who kind of runs immigration policy from
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: inside the White House. When we started, we looked at
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: this problem. We looked at the north of 10 million
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens that had come in just in the last
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: few years of the Biden administration. And then you add
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: another 15 or 20 million on top of that who
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: are already here. They said we need more people. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: so it takes a long time to bring in, to train,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to recruit. the kind of people who can engage in
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the deportations that we need. But look, we've already, I think,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: gotten north of 3 million people out in just 18 months. Again,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: we have prioritized violent criminals, but nobody who has come
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: into the United States illegally should remain in the United States.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: That remains our policy. Cool.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: And that pace will continue.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: That pace will continue.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: In fact, I think Mark Wynne Mullen just sent me
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: numbers from a couple of months ago. The pace has
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: actually accelerated. And that's because we're starting to get more
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and more people online. But look, the easiest thing, I
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: say this to everybody, if you broke the United States'
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: laws and came into our country illegally, just get out.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Just go home, and if you would like to come
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to the United States, apply through the proper procedures.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Now, one of your other jobs has been negotiating with
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the Iranians.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you noticed, but all of
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the Iranian government officials, except for their deformed supreme leader,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: was on television in the United States this weekend.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I noticed.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: The president and the foreign minister. And so I'm wondering,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: when are you going to be on an Iranian Sunday show?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Is that very likely to happen?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's very likely to happen. One, I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: don't speak Persian. And two, I don't think that they
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: have Sunday shows in Iran. And if they do, I
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: probably don't want to go on them. I mean, look,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: what you see, Vince, is you see clear evidence. I
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: think the Iranians recognize that they screwed up, that they
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: signed a deal with us. We had a ceasefire. We
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: had energy prices that had come down. And we had
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the possibility, always the possibility that the Iranians behaved they
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: would get a lot out of a better relationship with
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the United States. Well, what happened? They didn't behave. They
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: started shooting at commercial shipping. Now, we know, because we
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: have very good intelligence, we know that there are a
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: lot of officials within the Iranian system who didn't want
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: that to happen. They thought it was stupid for the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: hardliners to start shooting at ships again, but they did.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: And they weren't able to control those hardliners. And what
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: the President of the United States has said very clearly
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: throughout this process is, there is a universe where we
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: can strike a deal with Iran. But that requires the
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Iranians to behave. That requires the Iranians to honor their
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: commitments to the United States. And that basic principle, negotiate
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: but only negotiate around actions, not words, is going to
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: inform how we do this for the next couple of months.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So you just indicated that one of the problems they're
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: having is controlling their hardliners. And it's very interesting, because
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I saw the Iranian president was on with Bret Baier
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: last week. And Bret asked him like 15 different ways
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Are you in charge? Is the IRGC calling the shots?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: What's even happening? And I noticed that he kept dancing
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: away from answering that question. You've been involved in trying
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to figure out, who do I talk to? Where's the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: pressure points? What can you tell us about the Iranian leadership?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Who's actually calling the shots in that country?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I think it's a very confused system, honestly. I could
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: give you an answer. It would be, at best, a yes,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: because you have a number of different constituencies. You have
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the hardliners. You have the conservatives. You have the moderates.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: You have the clerics. And all of these people are
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: involved in the decision-making process. And then, of course, you
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: have the new supreme leader who is very detached. He's very,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: you know, he's not involved day to day. He's not
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: going on American Sunday shows and talking about these negotiations.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: But he's alive, right? We think that he's alive. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: don't know, of course. I've never seen him. I haven't
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: seen him on camera recently. But the best evidence that
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: we have suggests that he is alive. And, you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: this is why, in some ways, we don't focus so
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: much on the nature of the internal deliberation. We try
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: to understand it as best we can. But it's always
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: been about actions. We don't care about what people say.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: We care about what people do. And if the Iranians
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: change their actions towards the United States, then yes, there
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: is an opportunity for a much better relationship. But we
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: have to see the actual conduct change. OK.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: So Iran obviously playing in the minds of the American voter, too.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: So I want to shift to the election with you
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: for a moment. Now, as I come in to meet
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: with you today and talk about all this, I can't
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: help but notice, at least on the internet, there's a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: lot of doomsdaying going on.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: People are like, it's all over.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Republicans are getting- A lot of black billing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of black billing.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Republicans are getting wiped out in the midterms. You've got
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: another important job. You're head of finance at the RNC,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: so you're involved in fundraising, thinking about where this money
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: is spent, how you can win these races.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: What's your attitude about the midterms right now? How do
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you feel?
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: My attitude is we have to win, and so we
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: have to keep fighting and do everything that we can
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: to elect as many Republicans as And I see the doomsaying,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and I see the cynicism and the pessimism. And my
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: view on that is the country was not founded, the
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: country was not created, and the country is not going
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: to be saved by what Thomas Paine would have called
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: sunshine patriots. You have got to get in there and
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: win these races and make it possible for Republicans to
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: deny a bunch of crazy communists from having positions of
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: power in the United States of America. It's just that simple, Vince.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: You know, the thing that I always try to remind
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: people is, you know, elections are always kind of tough
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: in the sense that I remember September of 2024 when
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: there were polls coming out that suggested that we were
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: going to lose by big margins to Kamala Harris, the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Democrats were going to keep the Senate, build their majority,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and it was going to be unified democratic rule for
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: a generation. I remember those stories. Vince, I remember like
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: four or five days before the election, when a poll
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: came out showing us losing in Iowa, according to the
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: best pollster who had ever polled Iowa, and I remember
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: calling a friend of mine and saying, this is bullshit,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: we're gonna win. And I knew we were gonna win,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and we did. And we won Iowa, by the way,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: by like 13 or 14 points, not, we didn't lose
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: it by three points, which is what the allegedly best
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: pollster said.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I believe, yeah, it was like the gold standard poll.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: The gold standard poll. The person who had never missed
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: in Iowa said we were going to lose Iowa by
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: three points. She was off by like 17 points in
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the election. So I guess my point is, like, are
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: there headwinds? Of course there are. I'm a realist about
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: this stuff. Is it hard for the party that controls
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the House, the Senate, and the presidency to win a
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: midterm election? It almost never happens. But this is very different.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Number one, we have a very unique president. Number two,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: we have a very unique president. We have a bunch
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: of crazy people running on the other side. People who
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: are promising not to lower your prices or to make
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: your life better. They're promising to trans your kids and
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: steal all your property. Like that is not what the
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: American people want out of their government. And so we've
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: just got to keep making the case. And if you're
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the kind of person. who looks at the administration, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that we're perfect, Vince, but if you're
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the kind of person who looks at the administration and says,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: because I disagree about this issue, or because they haven't
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: gone far enough on this issue, I'm gonna give the
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: country over to a bunch of communists, then I think
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: that you need to check the way that you interact
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: with the American political process. You should make demands of us.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: You should demand that we go further. You should demand
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: that we go faster, but fundamentally in November, it's not
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: a question of whether we go further or faster, It's
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: a question of whether we give the government over to
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: a bunch of lunatics.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just look at the behavior of a
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: guy like Abdul El-Sayed. He's clearly nervous about the fact
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that he's got a relationship with that Hasan Piker character
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: who said that America deserved 9-11. He's spending all of
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: his waking moments running away from that. The same is
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: true of James, what I call, Talafrico, who has been
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: spending all of his time running away from every insane
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: position he's ever expressed in front of a camera. And
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: we've got this video footage from his church where people say,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Not sure Christ existed. If he did exist, he didn't
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: die for us. And I don't even think the resurrection
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: literally happened.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: If you polled our membership and asked them whether they
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: were Christian, agnostic, or atheist, The vast majority would say
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: agnostic or atheist.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: To come here, do I have to kind of like
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: profess that I believe that God became a baby and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that a virgin had a baby?
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, what's that?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: We all got in my line.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: This is what they're saying inside of Tallarico's church.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And last I checked, nobody in Texas in the press
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: corps is even asking him about this. This seems like
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: a really vile thing.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so first of all, this is what I think
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: a particular type of hyper-progressive does to Christianity. They don't
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: actually believe in the resurrection. They don't believe that Jesus
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: died as an atonement for human sin. What they believe
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: is that Christianity can possibly be a useful tool to
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: acquire political power. So they strip your religion of all
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: of its meaning, of all of its truth. They wear
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: it as a skin suit, and they try to trick
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: people into voting for them. That's what Talafrico is fundamentally
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: engaged in. Now, look, this is another reason not to
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: blackmail If you are in Texas right now, if you
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: turn on the TV and watch an ad, is Tallarico
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: running towards the crazy gender stuff? No. Is he running
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: towards what he said about God being non-binary? No. Is
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: he running towards some of his crazy economic positions?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: No.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: You turn on the TV and you would think James
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Tallarico is basically a Republican. Maybe a moderate Republican, but
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you would have no idea if you're just a normal
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Texas voter watching his advertising who this guy is. What
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: that means is we've won the argument. So when you've
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: won the argument so thoroughly that the other side is
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: pretending they agree with you on the issues just to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: get elected, the result is not to blackpill. The conclusion
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: you should draw is let's remind people just how crazy
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: they are so that we can keep on doing good
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: things for the American people. The reason I'm super optimistic
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: about just the nature of the country long term is
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: we have won the argument. woke is dead. The Democrats
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: are literally running away from things that they said two
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: years ago in an effort to gain political power. That's cynical.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. But the fact that we won the argument
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: is a very good first step. Now we just have
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: to remind the American people that they do actually believe
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: the crazy things they believe. All right.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Final question.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: You've got your other job as president of the Senate.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: The thing I hear all the time on social media,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure you hear it all the time.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Why isn't J.D. Vance going and taking over the Senate,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: firing John Thune, firing the parliamentarian, using your power in
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: order to force the Save America Act through? And I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: think one of the obvious lessons of the election is
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: we need to send President Trump and Vice President Vance
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: back up so you have more people to support the agenda.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: But can you just clarify, you know, obviously what the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: stakes are here and what you can do? What's possible?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Sure. So first of all, could I assume the chair
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: of the Senate and fire the parliamentarian? Yes, I could. Okay.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: You have to ask the question, what does that get you?
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: So let's just play this out. And trust me, we
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: have played it out internally with a lot of great people,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: including the President of the United States. So I take
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: over the chair. I fire the parliamentarian. And what happens?
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Four or five Republicans, at least, and maybe 10 Republicans,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: they join the Democrats to then overrule the new chair,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: which is the Vice President of the United States. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the point is, there is no shortcut. I think our
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: people want to think that the parliamentarian is the problem.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: The parliamentarian is a bureaucrat. It's a person who fundamentally
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: listens to whatever 50 plus one senators say that she
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: should do. The problem is that we have a number
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: of Republican senators who vote more with Democrats than they
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: do with their own party. And that is the issue.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: If you could get 51 GOP senators, or frankly 50
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: senators plus a vice president to stick together, we could
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: fire the parliamentarian, we could get rid of the filibuster,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: we could pass Save America Act and a bunch of
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: amazing stuff too. The problem is not with who's in
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the chair. The problem is that you have four or
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: five Republicans, and we all know who they are, who
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: are going to stand with Democrats. So let me just, again,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: play this out in some detail. Again, we have war-gamed
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: this to every detail because I wanted to do this
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: a few months ago. And we ultimately decided, the president
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: and I, this doesn't make sense because it's not going
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: to go anywhere.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: So just to be clear, you and the president met
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and discussed how can we do this?
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: We discussed this. Look, we have obsessively thought through how
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: do you get Save America passed and how do.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: You blow up the filibuster.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: So you have 47 Democratic senators. If I overrule the parliamentarian,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: they need four because if they get to 50, I
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: break the tie and we win. 47 Democrats plus four Republicans.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Tom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski. There's your four.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: They overrule the vice president. You have a fun little
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: ceremonial battle that you lose. We're actually interested in winning
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: the battle, which means replacing mediocre Republican senators with good
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Republican senators.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Which is why you've got to win the midterms.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Vice President J.D.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Vance.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Good to see you, man.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Thanks, man.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Nice to see you.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me here, bro. An amazing conversation with
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the Vice President of the United States. Just wonderful. I'll
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: go over some of our findings, what we thought, what
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we learned, and also get your reaction here in the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: live chat to this interview, again, with the Vice President
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of the United States. An honor to sit down with
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: him and get a lot of important questions in front
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of him, all of which he answered, by the way,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: if perhaps you noticed. More ahead on this edition of Fence.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Want to thank the fine sponsors who do power this
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: show and make it possible for us to deliver such
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: important conversations. That includes blackout coffee. Love blackout coffee. You know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: there are some things you buy because you have to
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: buy them. And then there are things you feel very
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: good about buying. For me, blackout coffee is one of those.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Small American company built by people who work very hard,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: believe in this country, share our values, and happen to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: make some seriously good coffee. And every morning when I
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: pour that first cup, I know precisely what I'm getting. Strong,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: smooth coffee. It's never bitter. Fresh roasted, packed with flavor,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: delivered right to my door. And honestly, I'd much rather
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: make an incredible cup of coffee at home than stand
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: in a line somewhere and spend like seven bucks on
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: a drink loaded up with syrup, sugar, and whipped cream
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: or whatever they put in it. You don't need that.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Great coffee doesn't need that. You just want great coffee.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Blackout Coffee keeps it simple. Great coffee, great people, an
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: American company doing things the right way. If you haven't
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: tried it yet, now's the time. Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash Vince.

  Speaker 1: Use the code Vince, 20% off your first order. That's blackoutcoffee.com

• 29:37
  Speaker 1: you can feel so good about.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: About.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I also want to thank Chapter. Chapter's awesome. Look, here's
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the thing. When I read news stories, you know this,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the first question I'm always exploring is, who's benefiting from
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: all of this? Who's paying for all of this? If
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you follow the incentive structure, the coverage always explains itself.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And you can apply that same logic to Medicare for
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: a second. And most Medicare agents actually make more money
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: steering you into certain plans. Not a conspiracy. That's an
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: incentive structure. You are the one who ends up living
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: with the result, which is why I trust Chapter. They're
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. Chapter's
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: independent advisors are very honest. They're not paid to steer you.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: They advocate for you, not big insurance. They look at
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: your doctors, your prescriptions, your zip code, every plan that's
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: available to you. And if you're already on the right plan,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you that as well. So what you should
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: do is call Chapter.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: They're at 316-835-9955.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: It's free. It's under 20 minutes. There's no sales pitch.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: That's 316-835-9955. You question everything else. Question this too. Give
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Chapter a call.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: 316-835-9955.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you to our sponsors. All right, chat,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: what do we think? What do we think? You know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: it was really nice. I noticed a lot of people
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: in the chat saying that the vice president seemed so relaxed,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: and he was. He was very relaxed, very candid. You know,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like anything was off the table. We got
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to cover everything we wanted to with the guy. That
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: was inside of the Eisenhower Executive Office building, so that
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: would be the vice president's He actually has two offices.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: One of them is in the West Wing and the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: other is inside of what they call the EEOB. At
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: one point, that was the Navy War and Army Department
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: many years ago. But these days, it is the EEOB.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: extension of the White House. A lot of people work
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: in that building who support the president, the vice president
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of the United States. But occasionally he gets away and
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: he works inside of that building. And we had the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: privilege of being inside of that office and getting a
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: chance to set up there. This interview, by the way,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: came together very quickly. I was telling you about it
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: towards the end of last week that we were on
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the verge of an interview with the vice president. But
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you never quite know which day is going to occur
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: So we found out over the weekend that Monday was
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: an open enough schedule for the vice president for us
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: to be able to do this, which is what, of course,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: upended our shows yesterday. I want to extend some gratitude
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to producer Jim for hosting the big national radio show
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: yesterday in my stead. The only downside is that Jim
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: couldn't be with us. I wish he could have been
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: as we did the interview yesterday. We did have a
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: great team with us. Josh and Justin flew in from
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Florida to join and film and light and capture that
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: great audio that you got to hear just now. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Corey was there with us. He was very helpful in
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: getting this interview set up, my longtime producer, Corey. So
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it was just nice to have the team together yesterday.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: And as we were, and I'll get into some of
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the theatrics of what it was like setting up and
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: what it was like waiting for the president. But just
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to dwell for a moment on some of the news
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: of the interview, I thought that Vice President Vance's revelations
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: about the Save America Act were the most forthcoming that
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I've heard yet about the wargaming that the White House
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: has been doing on this subject. I thought that was
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: a remarkable disclosure by the vice president, that he and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: President Trump have been having multiple meetings, intensively wargaming, trying
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to figure out whether or not he really could exercise
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the powers that are at his disposal as the president
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: of the Senate to seize control of the business of
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the Senate floor. to fire the parliamentarian, to force a
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: vote on the Save America Act, to basically do all
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: of the things that you and I desire to do.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And of course, when you engage in that sort of
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: thought process as you war game it, You have to
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: assess what is, what is actually possible here. And I don't,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it's not a small thing for him to name senators.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: You know, you often hear, uh, when you hear from
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Republicans who are on our side, you know, including like
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a Senator Mike Lee, they resist trying to name people
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: in public, uh, because they're still holding out hope that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: maybe they can navigate through those relationships and get this
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: thing done. I get it. This is a kind of
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: interpersonal politics. But I would say it's pretty remarkable to
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: hear the vice president of the United States lay out
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: four Republican senators that he says, I know immediately that
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: they're going to give, that they're going to deliver votes
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: for Democrats to prevent the vice president from being able
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: to successfully pull this off. And you hear the names.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: He says McConnell. He says Cornyn. He says Tillis. And
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: he says Murkowski. Now, you may think to yourself, well,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: there are others actually who would join those four as well.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: That's very possible. One name that came to mind, I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, Chad, was Susan Collins. I was
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: concerned maybe Susan Collins would join in on that scheme.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: But I would note, just in terms of political wisdom,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that Vice President Vance did not mention her, which makes
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And here's why. She's running for
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: reelection in Maine right now. And one way or another,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: we need a Republican senator to win in Maine. So
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: he's not, you know, backhanding Susan Collins in that conversation.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: But he did mention those other four. And those all
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: sound right, don't they? Those sound right. And good for
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: him for naming them and declaring that. But I appreciate that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that I've always loved
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: about President Trump's successive administrations is the amount of transparency
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: we've gotten out of these guys. Well, they'll let you
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: behind the curtain on the internal conversations that they've got
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: going on on these subjects. And that brings me to
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: another issue that the vice president mentioned. That was deportations. Now,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Had I had a show with you yesterday, this would
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: have been one of the big topics for us to discuss,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: because over the weekend, there were a flurry of reports
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: about guidance that ICE was apparently sending out to some
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of its agents across the country, advising them that they
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: were going to reel back on incidental arrests. In other words,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that they were going to target, as they have been,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the rapists, the murderers, the violent illegal aliens that they're
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: taking into custody. The worst of the worst is often
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the expression. but that in the process that maybe when
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: they encountered illegal aliens who hadn't committed additional crimes in
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the United States, that they wouldn't spend their time arresting
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: those people despite being aware of the fact that they're
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: here illegally. Now, what ended up happening as a result
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: of those reports is a lot of conservatives instantly said, well,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: hell no, I didn't vote for that. I voted for
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: mass deportations. I voted for every illegal alien to leave
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the country. I voted for the restoration of law and order.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And so when I asked the vice president about this yesterday,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: He he by the time he and I had a
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: chance to sit down, DHS had already released statements saying, no, no, no,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that's not true. We're still going to deport everybody. So,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever these reports are indicating to you, we
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: are deporting everybody. So to hear the vice president clarify
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: yesterday that, yeah, if you're here illegally, you've got to go.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: We are deporting people is I think was encouraging. And
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it gets to the point that he made later in
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the interview when he said, look, on the right, to
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: the extent that people are debating what's going on in
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party and the Trump administration, he goes, I
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: get it. He goes, and don't stop. Keep up the pressure.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: If you want us to deliver more results, tell us.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: If you want us to go faster, tell us. But
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: the key distinction, the key thing here is distinguishing between
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: you go with the guy who's delivering results, like securing results,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the border, making it airtight, deporting over 3 million illegal aliens,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: driving down rent prices in the places where we've had
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the most ICE activity in the country. You either go
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: with that party or you go with the open borders guys.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: You go with the guys who are going to take
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: every last dollar they can out of your paycheck. You
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: go with the guys who are trying to create gender
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: ambiguous bathrooms in every school in America. You can go
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: with them. So these are quite obviously your choices. So
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: choose wisely. was the point that he was making. But again,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: you heard him say, keep up the pressure. You want
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: us to keep delivering results? Keep delivering that pressure and
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: we will. We will deliver those results for you. So
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I thought that was very, very good as well. And
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: also on housing prices, I thought it was funny. I
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: just remember that New York Times interview where JD Vance
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: is sitting down with that lady called Lulu. And she's like,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: how are you going to bring down housing prices? What
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: are you going to do? And on the left, the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: attitude is always like, oh, well, we just throw more
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: money at the problem. We steal more money from the
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: American people, and then we subsidize housing. And then presto chango,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: everybody's housing prices come down. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: It just depletes productivity, destroys productivity, and skyrockets prices in
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: every sense across the country. And then the left tells
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: you they did something good for you. No, that's insanity.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Let's not do that. And J.D. Vance delivered the most
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: obvious possible line, which never is uttered in Washington, D.C.,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: which is what if we just deported lots of people?
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Kind of a supply and demand question, isn't it? What
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: if we just get rid of all of these people?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: And they have by the millions. And as a result,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: housing prices are coming down. That's a big deal. So
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the vice president, I think that was the very first
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: time he's had a chance to reflect back on what
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: he assured people would happen when he was campaigning to
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: become the vice president of the United States in the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: first place. So there he was on that subject yesterday.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Also prosecutions, prosecutions for big government officials To what extent
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: are we going to be able to see some of
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: those coming? You hear the Vice President once again indicating
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: that a lot of this is underway and saying that
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: in his unique position as one of the leaders of
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: our country with the President of the United States, he
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: can't disclose everything for fear of upending the investigation kind
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: of destroying the predicates and prejudicing the investigation as it's
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: being conducted. But he assures everyone investigations are very much underway.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: And just to remind you, Tampon Tim Walls and Keith Ellison,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the attorney general, and Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: all those guys have already disclosed that they've been under investigation.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: This has been a matter of public disclosure. So clearly
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: that continues. And the vice president has this extraordinary resource
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: at his disposal. This assistant attorney general of the United States,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Colin McDonald, who's going after fraudsters across the country that
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: do not underappreciate that detail. I think maybe this show
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: we've spent more time emphasizing that than anywhere else. That
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: is such an extraordinary detail. And the vice president kind
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: of went out of his way to be like, yeah, yeah, no,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: he works for the attorney general. But this is a
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: very unusual arrangement where you have an assistant attorney general
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: who's basically reporting directly to the vice president. And yes,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the attorney general is a part of that chain of command,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: but not a small thing to have the vice president
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: and an assistant attorney general on speed dial to one
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: another as they tackle this fraud and And Vice President
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Vance just announced a few days ago that they've already
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: tackled over a quarter trillion dollars in fraud and counting.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: A quarter trillion. That's going a long way. Please keep
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: that pace. Please keep that pace. All right. More in
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: a moment. I do have some other news items I
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: want to get to with you, including on deportations. But
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: before we get there, I do want to share one
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: last thing with you, which is yesterday as we arrived
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and we were setting up to do the interview, You
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: heard me start with the Vice President there, that we
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: got to be in that extraordinary office, and in the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: office is Teddy Roosevelt's presidential desk. So as we were
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: awaiting Vice President Vance's arrival, I actually got a chance
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: to capture some video of that with the fellows. Here's
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: what it looked like as we got to see the
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt desk. Pretty cool. Watch this.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: We are set up in the office of the Vice
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: President of the United States. We're awaiting J.D. Vance's arrival.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: And while we wait, I've had a chance to walk
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: around the office and check out some of the historic
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: pieces that.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Are in here.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: And this one is one of— this has to be one
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: of the coolest things I've ever seen. This is Teddy
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Roosevelt's presidential desk. It's right here in what— I guess this
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: is technically the ceremonial office of the vice president of
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the United States. And— This desk is— well, Josh has got
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: the camera, and I'm wired to it like a Zoomer
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: right now. But I think it's seven feet wide. Here,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: come here, Josh, so I can actually read the actual
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: numbers on this thing. It is— it' s seven feet— seven and a
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: half feet long. It's four and a half feet wide,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: so massive. And then two and a half feet in height,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: which is a conventional desk height, 30 inches. And look
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: at this thing. It was made in Boston in 1903,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: used first by Teddy Roosevelt as president of the United States.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: in the West Swahili White House, and then subsequently used
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: by William Howard Taft, the racist Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Harry S. Truman, and Dwight D.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Eisenhower.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: So, you know, lots of good people and some crappy
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: ones use this desk, but the idea that just the
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: fact that Teddy Roosevelt used this thing, it's so cool.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Teddy Roosevelt features very prominently here.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: You can see him Also in this big painting right
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: here on the wall, Teddy Roosevelt's picture right there alongside
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: this epic, epic desk used by a ton of presidents
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: of the United States. So a very, very cool and
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: inspirational way for us to start our day as we
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: get set up. And you can see we've got this
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: set up over here awaiting the vice president of the
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: United States. It's going to be awesome.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: And it was.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: It was super awesome. I loved the history of all
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: of that. Teddy Roosevelt's such a cool president. You know,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: when William McKinley was assassinated, Teddy Roosevelt, I believe, was
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: in New York at the time. So a White House
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: staffer has to get to him, run across this field
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: to get to the then vice president of the United
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: States and tell him the tragic news. And I remember
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: from just reading the history of Teddy Roosevelt that he
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: was angry about all of this, not only that the
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: president was assassinated, but he was pretty convinced that if
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: he were there, he would have been able to stop
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: the assassination. That's how hard. That's how hard Teddy Roosevelt went.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: He was a badass. That dude was like, if I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: was there, it would not have happened. I would have
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: stopped him. Also, of course, subsequently, there would be an
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: assassination attempt on Teddy Roosevelt. He gets shot in the chest.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: And rather than run off to the hospital for treatment,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: he instead gives an epic speech where he condemns the
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: weak and vicious minds. Actually, he condemns his political opponents
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: who've inflamed the weak and vicious minds to take up
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: arms to hurt him. And he gives the whole speech
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: and he's got, it's just an amazing, an amazing figure
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: in American history. So a great piece of history. And
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: inside of that desk, it's funny, before the vice presidential
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: staff arrived, just before the vice president himself arrived, we're
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: doing this and I'm going to rat out Josh here
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: for a second because it was really funny yesterday. Everything
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: went fine. Don't worry. But we're standing there at the
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: desk and Josh is like, this is so cool. You know,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: often they sign the inside of these desks and he
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: starts opening the drawer and I go, Josh, don't touch
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: the desk.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: This thing's a freaking antique. Do not touch the desk, Josh. Josh,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: do not touch the desk. So Josh closed the drawer
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: and then eventually somebody from the VP staff did arrive
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: and then they showed us the desk.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: They opened the drawer up.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: And we got to see all these presidential signatures, but
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to get kicked out before her interview started.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, don't touch the desk. Don't touch it.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: But everything went okay. Everything went fine. And Josh recorded
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: an extraordinary interview yesterday. So all is forgiven. It was amazing.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, there's all these signatures. By the way,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Al Gore's signature looks very angry inside of the desk.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: He looks like he scratched it in with a knife,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: furious as he was leaving after losing that presidential election
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: in the year 2000, which is hysterical. I love that.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: All right, now more on what's going on with deportations,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: if I can share some information with you on that.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: We do have a lot of data that's popped out
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: in the last 24 hours on this. I think part
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: of this was, The urgency that DHS felt like sharing
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: this information with you as a result of all of
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the kind of the crazy coverage, DHS did share the following.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: They said that there have been huge drops, as I
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: pointed out with J.D. Vance, in rent prices in places
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: like San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Phoenix, Atlanta, Nashville,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: and New Orleans. And they have found that the places
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: with the most cooperation with ICE have actually had the
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: biggest declinations of rent prices in the country. So in
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: other words, the more illegal aliens, the more human bodies
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: you get out of the country who shouldn't be here,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: the more the rent prices come down, which is, of course,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: what President Trump was, Vice President Vance, rather, has been
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: talking about. Also, Mark Wayne Mullen was on TV yesterday
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and was trying to reiterate a very important detail. He goes, look,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: there's no stand down order for deportations. We are peddled
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to the metal here on deporting people. And those numbers
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: are only going to ramp up. Look at Mark Wayne Mullen.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Here he is, cut three, explaining the administration's ongoing policy.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Watch this.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Where did that come from? Just look at our numbers.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: I don't know. There's always division going out there and
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: people want to report something they think they heard or
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: they don't even think they hear it. They just want
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: to make it up. That's never been a directive. That's
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: absolutely not going after not happening. We're going after the
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: worst of the worst constantly. Our numbers are increasing. We arrested.
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: We had a new single day record this weekend since
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: I've been in. I haven't went back all the way
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: through with the highest arrest record we've had since I've
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: been in office for six months. And that happened Friday
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: and Saturday both. We are absolutely pushing hard. We're going
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: to continue to push hard. politics doesn't get in the
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: way of us enforcing our nation's laws. I've said this
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: multiple times, Carl. DHS employees, be it ICE, be it CBP,
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: Coast Guard, or any of our other 19 other components,
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: our mission is to protect the homeland. You cannot protect
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: the homeland if you don't know who's in your country.
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: So our number one mission is to know who's in
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: this country, and if you're in this country illegally, I
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: don't care how you came about it, if you're in
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: this country illegally, you're going to be sent back to
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: the country you came from. Yeah.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: You hear that? He said they said single day arrest
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: records on Friday and on Saturday, which is really nice
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: to hear. That's what you want. And that's that's that's
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: moving in the right direction. Big time. Also, this Ali
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Bradley sharing some information with us. This would have been
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon. This is what she's obtained. She says the
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: borders are Tom Holman has confirmed that while they are
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: prioritizing the worst of the worst, He says they will
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: continue to arrest non-criminals, including collaterals who were not the
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: original target. Homan's also confirmed that after three straight months
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: of record-setting ICE arrests, September is on track to break
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: a new record. They say potentially. So we'll see. September
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: just about concluded. They may set yet another record for
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: arrests and deportations. Uh, that would be a very, very
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: big deal. Uh, and, uh, and that's good as well. Now, additionally, um,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman just in, did an interview saying that they're
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: aware of this migrant caravan. Apparently another migrant caravan is
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: trying to barrel towards the United States of America right now. Uh,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Bill Malusian has had some reporting on this. Um, It
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: originated in Honduras. It's moving through southern Mexico with the
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: hopes of reaching our border. DHS is issuing very strong
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: warnings that people will be arrested and deported immediately. So
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: don't even bother. Yet they are bothering. Here's Tom Holman
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: saying this week they're going to be stopped. Cut to
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: watch this.
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: Not that this is the point, but politically, I think
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: it backfires on the Democrats because it reminds voters what's
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: coming down the pike.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I hope they're paying attention. Again, they haven't
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: changed a bit. Remember the images of 12,000 illegal aliens
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: a day coming across the border, and now they wanna
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: abolish the agency that has to find them and deport them.
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: They haven't changed a bit, but thank God we got
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: President Trump in the Oval Office, who I think is
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: the greatest president in my lifetime, promises made, promises kept,
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: the most secure border, In the history of this nation,
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: even better than Trump 45, they can't stand it. But
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: we're going to hold that border tight. The border's closed.
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: It's going to remain closed. Thank God President Trump's in
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: the Oval Office.
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, Mexico should be told. You deal with this
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: on your side?
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. That's a great point from Laura.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: Pressure Mexico to handle this before any of these guys
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: anywhere close. But meanwhile, strong message from the administration. Don't
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: even attempt it. Don't even. I don't know what. Are
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: these people under some sort of impression that if they
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: get here by the midterms, if Democrats somehow win the
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: House and or the Senate, that maybe they'll be able
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: to get in? No, President Trump, regardless of the results
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: of the midterms, he'll still be the president, still be
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: in control of DHS, and they'll still be trebucheting illegals
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: out of the country. So don't try it. Don't waste
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: the effort. Don't waste the calories. You know, and the
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: president knows that one of the big reasons, and boy,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: they should really hammer this point going into the midterms. Dude,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: he got elected because of the border. And he said
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: it yesterday from the Oval Office. Here's the president reflecting
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: on why the American people sent him to office in
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: the first place. Cut forward.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: Check your 401ks. You're up double in one year. And
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: nobody talks about that. Nobody talks about the border. I
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: can't even talk about it. My people, sir, nobody cares
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: about the border. I got elected because of the border.
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: And now, because it's so good, one of my people
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: who's fantastic said, sir, the people don't care about the
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: border anymore. When I got elected, I got elected very
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: much on the border, and a lot of other reasons, too, inflation.
• 52:16
  Speaker 9: They had the worst inflation in history. The inflation's coming
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: way down. And when you see What happens as soon
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: as that war ends, inflation is going to be eradicated totally.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: But nobody talks about that.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Nobody talks about that. We've heard him talk about that before,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: even in the first administration. He's like, when you lock
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: down the border, you start building the wall. People don't
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: want to talk about the things that you've achieved. And
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: that's true. That often happens in American politics. But as
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: we go into the midterms, if you're going to make
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: a very strong case for why President Trump deserves backup,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: reflecting on the successes, that seems like a really big deal.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: And there is no bigger success. There's a lot of successes,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: but there is no bigger success than the airtight border
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: and the over 3 million deportations and counting. So keep
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: setting records, would you? Keep setting records. And remind the
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: American people what the stakes are, you know? If the
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Democrats get power back, especially if they get the White
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: House back, you know what they have in store for
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: the country? You know what they have in store for
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: our borders, for our sovereignty? It's pretty obvious when they
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: were in power, they violated every element of our sovereignty.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: They aided and abetted an invasion of the United States.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: The president said this yesterday. He goes, look, they get
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: power back. Say goodbye to your borders. Cut five.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: A lot of upcoming Republican rallies.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: You're heading to Oklahoma. You're heading to Alabama, Ohio.
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: What is your message to voters heading into the midterms?
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: We have great people, and we're running against communists, lunatics, socialists.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: We're running against people that are going to open up
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: the water. We have a border that just came out
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: 17 months in a row. We have No people coming
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: in zero, which is hard to believe even, but that's
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: what it is. I don't put out the numbers. And
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: we have a strong border. We have the best economy,
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: the biggest investment in the history of our country. Think
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: of that. Twenty-one trillion dollars is being invested. With China,
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: it's three trillion. With Biden, from the last— it was
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: a half a trillion.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: For four years, it.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Would have been negative. We're at 21 trillion, the biggest
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: amount in history. And that money is building plants like today,
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: isn't it? I don't know. This number is a big number,
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: $ 18 billion. I don't even think we're including that number.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: But we have $ 21 trillion being invested in our country.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: We have the highest number of jobs in the history
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: of the United States of America. We have the best
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: crime numbers in the history of our country, despite the
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: fact that they allowed 25 million people, many of whom
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: were criminals, into our country. We have the best murder.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: It's not a nice thing to say, but the murders
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: are lower than at any time since 1900. So we
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: have the best crime numbers. We have the best economic numbers.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: We have Iran. We'll never have a nuclear weapon. We're
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: going to win that war very soon. That'll be over.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: And the gas prices will come tumbling down. So nobody
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: else could have done that.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody else.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: If the Democrats took in, the border will be opened immediately.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: And you have millions of people pouring through just like
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: it was before. That's the most horrible thing I've ever seen.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the stakes. Those are absolutely the stakes.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: By the way, on oil prices, something that I see
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: almost nowhere, and we should talk about here for a moment,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: because I want you to think about this. You know
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: that if there wasn't an Iran war, we very likely
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: would have an energy spike going on anyway? If there
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: was no Iran war whatsoever... If the Trump administration had
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: never struck Iran, if we had never stopped their nuclear program,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: engaged in this, you know we would probably still have
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: an energy crisis. Do you know why? Because of Russia
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: and Ukraine. Because of the strikes on refineries in that region.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Diesel prices. For those of you who watch diesel prices closely,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: especially if you drive a truck, you know that diesel
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: prices have not only remained stubbornly high, but they've kept
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: going higher. And that's been over even before the Iran war,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: they were going up. And that is the single biggest
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: driver for the energy crisis around the planet that we're
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: seeing right now. It's the single biggest one. On diesel prices,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: not even a question. In fact, the Strait of Hormuz
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: and Iran is an infinitesimally small part of the diesel equation.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: It's part of it, but it's negligible. It's really about
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine, which is another way of saying that
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: it's actually in many ways institutional Washington, Democrats who have
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: powered the energy crisis that we're all now experiencing. Democrats
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: have done this. Democrats who were constantly sending weaponry and
• 57:02
