0:04
Speaker 1: the nation's airports are absolutely overwhelmed right now. And if

Speaker 1: you were trying to travel this weekend and stuck in
0:11
Speaker 1: three hours of security lines, you can thank a Democrat. Yes, indeed.
0:15
Speaker 1: We're going to talk coming up why Democrats want American
0:18
Speaker 1: citizens to stand in line while they allow illegal aliens
0:21
Speaker 1: to jump it to get inside of our country. That's
0:24
Speaker 1: all ahead on this edition of Vince. Also some breaking
0:26
Speaker 1: news updates this morning. as the president of the United
0:29
Speaker 1: States issues an ultimatum to Iran and has now said
0:33

1:19
Speaker 1: They have a great new service. You know, they've really
1:21
Speaker 1: already dominated in the free speech space in terms of
1:24
Speaker 1: just creating a great video platform where free speech proliferates.
1:27
Speaker 1: And they really believe in it. You look around you,
1:29
Speaker 1: censorship is everywhere. You've got these big tech companies who
1:32
Speaker 1: are bearing down on everybody, trying to foreclose on conversation,
1:35
Speaker 1: preventing you from expressing yourself or preventing you from seeing
1:39
Speaker 1: the things that you're entitled to see. That's not Rumble.
1:42
Speaker 1: Rumble is just a free speech platform. And they also
1:46
Speaker 1: support the free economy. Yeah. You know that there's like
1:49
Speaker 1: banks and big financial institutions who are interfering with the
1:52
Speaker 1: way that you make or spend money? How about we
1:55
Speaker 1: stop that too? Well, that's what Rumble Wallet is a
1:57
Speaker 1: part of the fight on doing. Rumble is amazing. They

Speaker 1: want to help you with Rumble Wallet in terms of
2:03
Speaker 1: how you control your own money. It's not a bank.

3:03
Speaker 1: American air travelers were absolutely getting destroyed this weekend, suffering
3:08
Speaker 1: as Senate Democrats were blocking DHS funding yet again. Total
3:14
Speaker 1: disaster here. The Senate rejected DHS funding this weekend for
3:18
Speaker 1: the fifth time. This vote just keeps coming up, and
3:21
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats keep fighting back against it. Take a look here.
3:25
Speaker 1: This is what Politico had to report on the subject
3:27
Speaker 1: this weekend. Senate rejects DHS funding bill. This would be
3:30
Speaker 1: for the fifth time straight. The shutdown affects TSA, FEMA,
3:35
Speaker 1: and other agencies. And now we've gone on five weeks,
3:38
Speaker 1: five weeks as of Saturday. The Senate voting again on
3:42
Speaker 1: Friday against moving ahead with this bill. That's nearly five
3:45
Speaker 1: weeks after cash stopped flowing at the agency. It was
3:48
Speaker 1: a 47-37 vote. 47-37, meaning we didn't get enough. as
3:54
Speaker 1: the White House attempts to negotiate with a broad range
3:57
Speaker 1: of Senate Democrats on changes to immigration enforcement policies that
4:01
Speaker 1: they are demanding after DHS agents fatally shot two US
4:05
Speaker 1: citizens in Minnesota in January. I mean, ridiculous. Politico's not
4:09
Speaker 1: even mentioning that the US citizens were involved in either
4:13
Speaker 1: assaulting cops or interfering with the cops and blocking them.
4:17
Speaker 1: It was just madness, absolute madness. Senate Majority Leader John
4:21
Speaker 1: Thune is already warning to expect the Senate to cancel
4:25
Speaker 1: its two-week recess. That would be the Easter recess, which
4:30
Speaker 1: would start at the end of next week, absent a
4:33
Speaker 1: DHS deal. Next week, in this case, is this week.
4:35
Speaker 1: At the end of this week, they're supposed to start
4:37
Speaker 1: that recess, and they may not get one. In fact,
4:40
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of updates on that in just
4:41
Speaker 1: a moment. But take a look at the nation's airports
4:43
Speaker 1: this weekend. Look at Atlanta. Atlanta was out of control.
4:47
Speaker 1: The lines stretching on for hours and hours. In Atlanta, Georgia,
4:54
Speaker 1: just absolute madness here. This was at 6 o'clock in
4:58
Speaker 1: the morning. Matt Van Swall, our friend Matt Van Swall,
5:00
Speaker 1: shared this video for those of you watching rumble.com. This
5:04
Speaker 1: was a 153-minute wait time at 6 o'clock in the morning.
5:09
Speaker 1: It stretches through the baggage claim in Atlanta. Craziness. Atlanta,
5:16
Speaker 1: not the only place where this was happening. There were
5:18
Speaker 1: three-hour wait times in Houston, Texas. This weekend, that's at
5:23
Speaker 1: Bush Intercontinental Airport. And then at LaGuardia this weekend, the
5:28
Speaker 1: TSA lines were stretching all the way to the parking lot,
5:32
Speaker 1: all the way to the– people are standing outside to
5:35
Speaker 1: go through security at TSA. And this is because TSA
5:40
Speaker 1: agents are not being paid. And as a result, if
5:43
Speaker 1: you're not being paid and you can't feed your family
5:45
Speaker 1: and you're relying on food banks just to make ends meet,
5:48
Speaker 1: People are not showing up to work and instead probably
5:51
Speaker 1: going to get gigs or something that are going to
5:53
Speaker 1: pay the bills while this shutdown continues. As of the
5:57
Speaker 1: end of last week, 20% of TSA agents weren't even
6:01
Speaker 1: showing up on average nationwide to work because they're not
6:04
Speaker 1: getting paid to do it. They're not getting paid to
6:07
Speaker 1: do it. It's been absolutely crazy to watch what's going down.
6:13
Speaker 1: And understand, there's the core point here, and I really
6:16
Speaker 1: want to emphasize this so it's beyond any sort of debate.
6:20
Speaker 1: Democrats are refusing to make sure that those TSA agents
6:24
Speaker 1: can get paid right now because they want to protect
6:27
Speaker 1: illegal aliens. It is as simple as that. Democrats hate
6:33
Speaker 1: immigration enforcement. They hate ICE. They hate that ICE is
6:38
Speaker 1: enforcing our nation's laws and deporting illegal aliens from the country.
6:44
Speaker 1: So in order to blackmail the country into continuing to
6:48
Speaker 1: allow this, they're forcing Americans to become utterly miserable at
6:54
Speaker 1: our nation's airports. The reason people are standing in line
6:58
Speaker 1: for three hours in Atlanta or standing in line you know,
7:03
Speaker 1: for three hours in Houston or all the way to
7:05
Speaker 1: the parking lot in LaGuardia. The reason that's all happening
7:09
Speaker 1: is because Democrats are trying to protect illegals. So as
7:11
Speaker 1: an American citizen, you've got to stand in line and
7:14
Speaker 1: illegals get to jump it. That's the world that Democrats
7:18
Speaker 1: have created. And that's the world they're trying so desperately
7:20
Speaker 1: to protect right now. It's about as disgraceful as it
7:23
Speaker 1: can possibly get. And yet it continues. And yet it continues.
7:28
Speaker 1: And these Democrats know what they're doing. Look, here's Peter Welch,
7:32
Speaker 1: Democrat senator, just this past week. He was on C-SPAN.
7:35
Speaker 1: He admitted that this doesn't even have anything to do
7:38
Speaker 1: with ICE. ICE already has funding. It's from the big,
7:42
Speaker 1: beautiful bill. The idea that ICE would somehow be defunded
7:46
Speaker 1: by this fight is just nonsense. This is designed to
7:50
Speaker 1: make Americans suffer.
7:51
Speaker 4: Watch.
7:52
Speaker 5: Is there.
7:54
Speaker 1: a compromise that Democrats could accept that doesn't get everything
7:58
Speaker 1: that you all are asking for?
8:00
Speaker 4: In all candor, with what has happened with ICE, I
8:04
Speaker 4: think it's very hard for us to come to some agreement. OK,
8:08
Speaker 4: but that should not impede us from being able to
8:11
Speaker 4: open the whole rest of government. The other reality is
8:15
Speaker 4: that ICE got forward funded about three years in the
8:19
Speaker 4: one big, beautiful bill. So this is ironically, it's not
8:22
Speaker 4: really affecting ICE.
8:24
Speaker 1: It's not really even affecting ICE. It's not. But Democrats
8:27
Speaker 1: still want to use it to hamstring ICE. Democrats are
8:31
Speaker 1: trying to secure cuts to ICE funding. Democrats are trying
8:34
Speaker 1: to make it so that ICE agents can't wear masks
8:37
Speaker 1: anymore to protect themselves and their families. Democrats are trying
8:40
Speaker 1: to make it so that ICE agents have to wear
8:43
Speaker 1: name tags so that Democrat activists can hunt them down.
8:47
Speaker 1: That's what Democrats are fighting for right now. Democrats are
8:50
Speaker 1: trying to fight to prevent ICE agents from enforcing immigration
8:54
Speaker 1: law in public spaces, like at courthouses or other city
8:58
Speaker 1: venues or at polling places. Have you noticed how insistent
9:02
Speaker 1: Democrats are that ICE agents never go to a polling place?
9:07
Speaker 1: Of all things, why are they so obsessed with ICE
9:10
Speaker 1: agents not appearing at polling places? What's going on at
9:14
Speaker 1: polling places that deserves the attention of ICE? Any chance
9:18
Speaker 1: the illegal aliens are voting? We know that tens of
9:21
Speaker 1: thousands of non-citizens are on the voter rolls nationwide. We
9:24
Speaker 1: know that thanks to the Justice Department. That's, of course,
9:27
Speaker 1: why there's a huge debate right now about the Save
9:29
Speaker 1: America Act playing out, because we want to purge the
9:32
Speaker 1: voting rolls of people who are not supposed to be there.
9:34
Speaker 1: We want to verify that only American citizens participate in elections.
9:37
Speaker 1: Don't worry, we'll get to Save America coming up in
9:39
Speaker 1: a moment. But the chaos that you're witnessing right now
9:45
Speaker 1: didn't have to happen. It's all artificially created by Democrats
9:50
Speaker 1: who are trying to protect a fraudulent system as we speak.
9:55
Speaker 1: The president wants people to pay attention to this, to
9:58
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. He posted to Truth Social this
10:01
Speaker 1: weekend that Democrats want to give our country away to
10:06
Speaker 1: the illegals who they allowed to pour through our now
10:09
Speaker 1: very strong border. I won't allow that to happen. The
10:12
Speaker 1: Democrats are grossly incompetent. ICE is ready to go on Monday,
10:18
Speaker 1: President Donald J.
10:20
Speaker 4: Trump.
10:21
Speaker 1: Now, what does he mean? ICE is ready to go. Well,
10:24
Speaker 1: this is fun too. ICE agents are now going to
10:28
Speaker 1: the nation's airports today to augment the Transportation Security Administration.
10:34
Speaker 1: That's right. ICE agents are going in to be backup
10:38
Speaker 1: TSA agents as of today. at airports all across our country.
10:43
Speaker 1: ICE agents, as you just heard Democrat Senator Peter Welch say,
10:46
Speaker 1: are already being paid. So Democrats, you want to treat
10:50
Speaker 1: ICE like crap?
10:51
Speaker 2: Great.
10:51
Speaker 1: We're going to send ICE agents to the nation's airports.
10:54
Speaker 1: And now they're going to help Americans get through in
10:56
Speaker 1: a speedy fashion while this DHS funding debate nonsense continues.
11:02
Speaker 1: The president said, fine, I've got a solution. I'll just
11:05
Speaker 1: send the guys we're already paying to do the job.
11:08
Speaker 1: The downside, of course, to that, as great as it
11:10
Speaker 1: is that the nation's airports will become more speedy to
11:12
Speaker 1: get through again, the downside to that is now ICE
11:15
Speaker 1: agents are down on the street picking up illegals. So
11:18
Speaker 1: there does come, of course, a cost with this. So
11:22
Speaker 1: we need to get them back out as quickly as possible.
11:24
Speaker 1: But here's the president coming up with a solution that's
11:27
Speaker 1: perfectly good, and it's already ticking Democrats off. They're freaking
11:30
Speaker 1: out about this. They hate it. They hate it. They're like,
11:33
Speaker 1: oh no, Americans are going to be scared to go
11:35
Speaker 1: to the airport if ICE agents are there. What are
11:37
Speaker 1: you talking about? Americans are going to be scared? What
11:40
Speaker 1: American would be scared of that? Some like poor sucker
11:44
Speaker 1: who was misled by the left would be scared of it.
11:47
Speaker 1: The rest of us are enthralled. In fact, it's a
11:49
Speaker 1: great opportunity to see an ICE agent and thank them.
11:52
Speaker 1: So here's my, this is my request to you today.
11:54
Speaker 1: If you are doing any air travel this week and
11:56
Speaker 1: you happen to go to an airport where ICE agents
11:58
Speaker 1: are assisting TSA, you'll see them. They'll have badges that
12:01
Speaker 1: say ICE on them. Thank them for me, would you?
12:04
Speaker 1: Would you please extend a hand of gratitude or at
12:08
Speaker 1: least a hearty thank you to any member of ICE
12:11
Speaker 1: that you see as you travel through the nation's airports
12:13
Speaker 1: this weekend? And ICE agents, to be clear, love it.
12:18
Speaker 1: They love it. Have you seen the reaction that ICE
12:22
Speaker 1: agents are giving to this? Check this out. Bill Malusian
12:25
Speaker 1: reached out to, he said, a handful of ICE agents
12:27
Speaker 1: this weekend to gauge their reaction to President Trump putting
12:30
Speaker 1: them at airports to work security. Responses include, love it. Quote, genius.
12:37
Speaker 1: We serve at the behest. Quote, lots of illegals at airports. Quote,
12:43
Speaker 1: There's one just like a face laughing with a hand
12:46
Speaker 1: over its mouth. There's another one. Quote, I would actually
12:50
Speaker 1: love that. And the last one is, quote, ah, fuck.
12:56
Speaker 1: I think that guy's just probably thinking about, well, got
12:59
Speaker 1: to go work somewhere else now. I've got to off
13:01
Speaker 1: to an airport. But the lion's share of ICE agents
13:05
Speaker 1: responding here, quote, love it.
13:08
Speaker 5: Genius.
13:09
Speaker 1: There's lots of illegals at the airports. I would actually
13:12
Speaker 1: love that. That's funny. A lot of great patriots working
13:15
Speaker 1: for ICE. Thank you to Bill Malusian to run these
13:17
Speaker 1: guys down, find out what they're thinking about all this. Yeah, look,
13:21
Speaker 1: the president's trying to figure out what to do. That's it.
13:23
Speaker 1: He's just trying to come up with creative solutions to
13:25
Speaker 1: make this all work. Here's Tom Holman, the border czar
13:27
Speaker 1: this weekend, saying that the president is tired of this
13:30
Speaker 1: shutdown and he's tired of seeing these workers not get paid.
13:32
Speaker 1: Watch Tom Holman.
13:34
Speaker 6: The president made it clear that we're not going to wait.
13:37
Speaker 6: He called me this morning and And he's tired of waiting,
13:41
Speaker 6: American people being held hostage, you know, long lines at
13:44
Speaker 6: the airports, TSA not being paid, you know, the Coast Guard, FEMA,
13:48
Speaker 6: all these people, federal employees that are working for free,
13:51
Speaker 6: and it's like the third time they went without pay.
13:54
Speaker 6: You know, and the president's tired of it. He's not
13:56
Speaker 6: going to let America be held hostage. Now he's going to,
13:59
Speaker 6: you know, we're going to pivot from there and we're
14:01
Speaker 6: going to send ICE agents to the airport to help
14:03
Speaker 6: alleviate not only the TSA officers who are overwhelmed and
14:06
Speaker 6: understaffed now because many of them left, but we're going
14:09
Speaker 6: to help the American people transit through the airport quicker
14:11
Speaker 6: and not be held hostage by this foolish shutdown that
14:15
Speaker 6: the Democrats started. I mean, this administration didn't shut the
14:17
Speaker 6: government down. It was the Democratic Party that shut it down.
14:20
Speaker 1: Yes.
14:21
Speaker 5: Yep.
14:22
Speaker 1: It was Democrats who did that. Democrats did that. So
14:26
Speaker 1: here we are. And now yet another weekend of misery
14:29
Speaker 1: just induced by Democrats. Remember the economy, the economic numbers
14:33
Speaker 1: last quarter, the fourth quarter of last year, they slowed down.
14:36
Speaker 1: Remember that? Do you know why they slowed down? The
14:38
Speaker 1: Schumer shutdown. The Schumer shutdown. Economic activity that the government,
14:43
Speaker 1: government spending assists in the GDP numbers. The reason economic
14:46
Speaker 1: activity slowed down was the Schumer shutdown. So have you
14:49
Speaker 1: noticed that That so far, the Trump administration, anything that
14:53
Speaker 1: President Trump and the Republican Party, when it has its
14:57
Speaker 1: act together, is responsible for, it leads to improvements in
15:00
Speaker 1: the quality of life, that the border gets secure, that
15:02
Speaker 1: illegals get deported, that the economy is improving, all of
15:05
Speaker 1: those things. But then when Democrats get involved, things get crappier.
15:09
Speaker 1: Things get crappier. When they throw a wrench into the system,
15:14
Speaker 1: things get crappier. So that's why the nation's airports are
15:17
Speaker 1: suffering right now. Crazy, crazy stuff.
15:20
Speaker 6: Wild.
15:22
Speaker 1: So let me see here. John Fetterman knows. John Fetterman
15:27
Speaker 1: knows what's going on. He's like the only Democrat who's
15:29
Speaker 1: even willing to admit this. So Fetterman keeps voting with
15:32
Speaker 1: Republicans to get the government back open. And here he
15:39
Speaker 1: is this weekend. going, we have to pay these people.
15:42
Speaker 1: Whatever happened to Democrats being the party that supported the
15:46
Speaker 1: little guy? These TSA agents are the little guy and
15:48
Speaker 1: they're not being supported?
15:50
Speaker 4: What?
15:50
Speaker 1: Here's Fetterman. Cut four, watch.
15:52
Speaker 7: We used to be all Democrats, never shut our government down.
15:55
Speaker 7: I travel every week. I ask agents like, hey, what's
16:01
Speaker 7: it like? They make around $ 50, 000. Pay these people. So
16:04
Speaker 7: definitely they're paycheck-paycheck situation, likely. That's Democrats. That's our people.
16:15
Speaker 7: Those are the kind of people we should fight for,
16:17
Speaker 7: not stop paying them.
16:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's who we should be fighting for. And instead,
16:23
Speaker 1: we're screwing them, explained John Fetterman. Now, there are people
16:28
Speaker 1: who are trying to come up with solutions here in
16:30
Speaker 1: the absence of Democrats doing their jobs. That includes Elon Musk.
16:33
Speaker 1: You see what Elon offered this weekend? Elon Musk, the
16:36
Speaker 1: world's richest man, Just offered to pay the salaries of
16:40
Speaker 1: TSA personnel during the funding impasse that is negatively affecting
16:45
Speaker 1: the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country.
16:49
Speaker 3: Wow.
16:50
Speaker 1: That was Saturday morning. Elon made that offer. We'll see
16:54
Speaker 1: to what extent that's feasible, that that can be accomplished.
16:57
Speaker 1: But here's Elon going, I'll cover it. I'll cover all
17:01
Speaker 1: their salaries for the duration of this. Now, one would
17:04
Speaker 1: assume at the end of this that maybe he could
17:05
Speaker 1: be paid back the money because, you know, that's the
17:08
Speaker 1: way this is supposed to work, that these guys are furloughed,
17:10
Speaker 1: that they can get their back pay after the government
17:12
Speaker 1: shutdown is resolved. But whatever the scenario, Elon's got the
17:17
Speaker 1: cash and he's like, look, I'm just here to help.
17:20
Speaker 1: I want to alleviate the stress here. And why is
17:22
Speaker 1: Elon doing this? Because Elon believes as sincerely as you
17:25
Speaker 1: and I do that our country needs secure borders. that
17:30
Speaker 1: needs functioning immigration and customs enforcement, that we need the
17:34
Speaker 1: Save America Act. Elon is standing shoulder to shoulder with
17:37
Speaker 1: you and with me, with President Trump right now, fighting
17:39
Speaker 1: for the Save America Act. So he sees through this
17:42
Speaker 1: as well. And he said, hey, I'm willing to offer
17:45
Speaker 1: the cash to cover for these guys. And that offer,
17:50
Speaker 1: John Fetterman loves. He said, this is incredibly generous, he wrote.
17:54
Speaker 1: He said, this is an incredibly generous thing. for Elon
17:58
Speaker 1: to do. He said, TSA agents across the country are
18:00
Speaker 1: relying on food pantries and community donations right now just
18:03
Speaker 1: to get by. I remain the lone Democrat to vote
18:06
Speaker 1: with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get
18:09
Speaker 1: people paid. It should never come to this point. Now,
18:15
Speaker 1: by the way, as Democrats in the week ahead, I'm
18:18
Speaker 1: just going to tell you what's going to happen as
18:20
Speaker 1: this week moves forward, and you'll get a better sense
18:22
Speaker 1: of it as I'm going through the next few news items.
18:25
Speaker 1: But as this week moves forward, you're going to hear
18:27
Speaker 1: a lot from Democrats blaming Republicans for the fact that
18:30
Speaker 1: TSA agents are not being paid. In fact, they were
18:32
Speaker 1: already doing it this weekend. They're all over Twitter saying
18:35
Speaker 1: horse crap like that. Oh, it's Republicans' fault. It's Republicans' fault. No,
18:38
Speaker 1: it's Democrats who want to stop immigration enforcement in the
18:41
Speaker 1: United States. And so they're holding TSA agents hostage to
18:44
Speaker 1: do it. When you hear that, point them at John
18:48
Speaker 1: Fetterman's tweet. Point everybody at this tweet that it's Democrats
18:53
Speaker 1: who are blocking this. He says, I remain the lone
18:57
Speaker 1: Democrat to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund
19:01
Speaker 1: DHS and get people paid. He told the truth. He
19:08
Speaker 1: told the truth. And that's all we care about, the truth.
19:12
Speaker 1: All right, more in a moment, including some late-breaking developments
19:16
Speaker 1: here on how things are about to get a lot
19:19
Speaker 1: more interesting and the implications for the Save America Act.
19:22
Speaker 1: I've got Some big updates for you on that in
19:25
Speaker 1: just a moment. All ahead on this edition of Vince.

Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. I use Patriot Mobile. In fact, um, this
19:44
Speaker 1: weekend I was, uh, with my wife. We were, I'm
19:47
Speaker 1: always with my wife on the weekends. Uh, but we
19:49
Speaker 1: were in a place where we didn't get great cell
19:51
Speaker 1: phone service or she didn't at least I did. I
19:55
Speaker 1: got great service because I have Patriot mobile. She had
19:57
Speaker 1: to keep asking. She said, can I hotspot to your phone?
19:59
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, you can. Thanks to Patriot mobile.
20:02
Speaker 1: I had pristine service. My, my poor wife doesn't have
20:05
Speaker 1: Patriot mobile yet. We gotta, we gotta resolve that. And, uh,
20:08
Speaker 1: so she was able to hotspot onto my phone Beautiful. Look,
20:11
Speaker 1: this year marks a very critical moment in our country.
20:13
Speaker 1: We've got crazy left-wing opposition to the country, and we've
20:17
Speaker 1: got to fight back against it. And this fight reaches
20:21
Speaker 1: into every decision that we make. Patriot Mobile has been
20:23
Speaker 1: standing on the front lines fighting for freedom for more
20:25

21:31
Speaker 1: I know we're getting into it now. Here we go,
21:33
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, the Save America Act, our meeting. Of course,
21:36
Speaker 1: producer Jim is keeping the minutes today. We're gaveled in now.
21:40
Speaker 1: So here's what I've got. Here's what I've got. We
21:48
Speaker 1: have the president of the United States has now basically
21:53
Speaker 1: grabbed the Senate by the shirt collars. And they've created... Basically,
22:00
Speaker 1: he's created an ultimatum for them that is fascinating. He
22:06
Speaker 1: wants the Save America Act passed. And so yesterday, he
22:11
Speaker 1: told a reporter, her name's Hannah Brandt. Here, let me
22:14
Speaker 1: share this with you. Watch this. He told Hannah Brandt
22:17
Speaker 1: the following in a phone call last night. Hannah Brandt
22:20
Speaker 1: is with, what outlet is she with? Check, check, one, two.
22:24
Speaker 1: Let's see, News Nation. She's with News Nation. In a
22:26
Speaker 1: phone call just minutes ago, this was 5.51 Eastern time
22:28
Speaker 1: last night. In a phone call just minutes ago, President
22:30
Speaker 1: Trump told me Democrats want to make a deal on
22:33
Speaker 1: DHS funding, but he doesn't, quote, think any deal should
22:37
Speaker 1: be made on this until they approve Save America. Interesting. First,
22:44
Speaker 1: I asked him how long he's prepared to have ICE
22:45
Speaker 1: agents help out at the airports. He told me for
22:47
Speaker 1: as long as it takes. And then I asked, some
22:50
Speaker 1: lawmakers are saying that They should just fund TSA while
22:53
Speaker 1: they negotiate on DHS. What do you think about that?
22:56
Speaker 1: President Trump said, now that I did this, the Democrats
22:59
Speaker 1: want to make a deal, and I don't think any
23:01
Speaker 1: deal should be made on this until they approve Save America. Okay?
23:05
Speaker 1: So you have a scoop. Guys, you understand how hard
23:11
Speaker 1: the president's throwing down right now for this, for Save America?
23:15
Speaker 1: Remember how this started? Remember when John Thune started this
23:19
Speaker 1: whole show on the Senate floor? Even before it happened,
23:21
Speaker 1: I said, look, get ready, everybody. We're getting a show.
23:24
Speaker 1: We're getting a show. And by the end of it,
23:27
Speaker 1: we may not get Save America. It may just be
23:29
Speaker 1: to try and placate us. President Trump doesn't want a
23:32
Speaker 1: head pat. He wants results. He wants the Save America Act.
23:36
Speaker 1: And what he's detecting in the cosmos right now is
23:38
Speaker 1: that leverage is now suddenly emerging. The American people are
23:41
Speaker 1: blaming Democrats for for the TSA shutdown, for the misery
23:45
Speaker 1: at the nation's airports, for the fact that TSA agents
23:48
Speaker 1: are not being paid right now. They're rightly blaming Democrats.
23:52
Speaker 1: John Fetterman is correctly blaming his colleagues, Democrats in the
23:55
Speaker 1: United States Senate for this. And the president has detected
23:59
Speaker 1: that now Democrats are in a weird position for themselves
24:01
Speaker 1: that they created for themselves, where they are suffering politically.
24:06
Speaker 1: And he's offering them a path out. You want to
24:09
Speaker 1: stop suffering? You want the American people to stop holding
24:12
Speaker 1: you accountable for your failures?
24:14
Speaker 5: Good.
24:15
Speaker 3: All right.
24:15
Speaker 1: I'm ready to play ball with you then. Get the
24:17
Speaker 1: Save America Act passed. If you do that, then we
24:21
Speaker 1: can do everything together. And here's the update from the president.
24:25
Speaker 1: So he posted to Truth Social himself last night, the
24:29
Speaker 1: following details about this. He said, I don't think we
24:32
Speaker 1: should make any deal, any deal with the crazy country
24:35
Speaker 1: destroying radical left Democrats, unless and until they vote with
24:40
Speaker 1: Republicans to pass the Save America Act. It is far
24:44
Speaker 1: more important than anything else we are doing in the Senate.
24:48
Speaker 1: And that includes giving these same terrible people, the Democrats,
24:51
Speaker 1: who are to blame for this mess, a $ 5 billion
24:54
Speaker 1: cut in ICE funding, a deal which, even when disguised
24:58
Speaker 1: as something else, is unacceptable to me and the American people. Unless,
25:05
Speaker 1: he writes, it includes... The approval of voter ID with picture,
25:10
Speaker 1: citizenship to vote, no mail-in voting with exceptions, all paper ballots,
25:15
Speaker 1: no men and women's sports, no transgender mutilization of our
25:18
Speaker 1: precious children. Put it all together and also let Leader Thune, ready?
25:24
Speaker 1: Here's the pressure on Republicans. Let Leader Thune clearly identify
25:30
Speaker 1: those few Republicans who are voting against America. Come on,
25:36
Speaker 1: John Thune. Name names. They will never be elected again,
25:43
Speaker 1: says the president. In other words, lump everything together as
25:46
Speaker 1: one and vote. Kill the filibuster. Stay in D.C. for
25:51
Speaker 1: Easter if necessary. Make America great again, President D.J.T. So
25:57
Speaker 1: now he's throwing down the gauntlet. Now he's saying, Democrats,
26:00
Speaker 1: you want out of this mess you created for yourself?
26:02
Speaker 1: I've got a path. Save America. John Thune. If you
26:06
Speaker 1: can't get the Republicans to do this, we need names,
26:09
Speaker 1: not just privately, publicly. We need names so that we
26:13
Speaker 1: can make sure that these people never get back to
26:16
Speaker 1: office again. There should be political consequences for Republicans who
26:19
Speaker 1: fail us on the Save America Act right now. This
26:21
Speaker 1: is the president doing something that is driving John Thune
26:25
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. And here's the other update. This comes to
26:30
Speaker 1: us this morning from a news outlet called Punchbowl. It's
26:33
Speaker 1: a Washington, D.C. outlet. Check this out today. Here's the
26:38
Speaker 1: headline on it. Trump to Thune, no deal with Democrats.
26:43
Speaker 1: This is this morning. And here's the news. Trump, Thune
26:50
Speaker 1: approached Trump last night, last night with a new proposal.
26:54
Speaker 1: Thune told Trump that Senate Republicans will support funding all
26:58
Speaker 1: of DHS except for ICE and the agency at the
27:02
Speaker 1: center of the bitter partisan dispute over Trump's immigration crackdown,
27:05
Speaker 1: according to senators and aides. ICE funding, any additional ICE
27:09
Speaker 1: funding is what they're talking about, could be handled later
27:11
Speaker 1: in a party line reconciliation bill. Democrats would accept the offer.
27:16
Speaker 1: The South Dakota Republican informed the president. This is punch ball,
27:19
Speaker 1: so you're taking them at their word insofar as you
27:22
Speaker 1: can believe the arrangement here. But I think there's some
27:24
Speaker 1: truth baked into this. Democrats wouldn't get some of their
27:28
Speaker 1: chief demands in John Thune's offer. including banning masks for
27:32
Speaker 1: federal agents or requiring judicial warrants, which would freeze up
27:36
Speaker 1: the whole immigration system.
27:37
Speaker 5: By the way.
27:37
Speaker 1: That's what Democrats want to do. Plus, TSA agents would
27:41
Speaker 1: get their paychecks and the security line madness at airports
27:43
Speaker 1: would end. Ladies and gentlemen, the security line madness is
27:46
Speaker 1: ending because Trump is sending ICE agents to the airports
27:50
Speaker 1: right now to relieve it. But Trump said no, according
27:53
Speaker 1: to multiple sources. The president wants Republicans to stay in D.C.
27:57
Speaker 1: and keep fighting with Democrats over DHS funding and the
28:01
Speaker 1: Save America Act. Not only that, Trump warned that he
28:07
Speaker 1: would publicly slam Senate Republicans if they left town for
28:12
Speaker 1: the upcoming Easter recess. Trump also said, allegedly, this is great,
28:18
Speaker 1: that he would invite all of the Republican senators and
28:20
Speaker 1: their families for Easter dinner at the White House. In
28:25
Speaker 1: other words, stay in town, keep working. You're worried about Easter?
28:29
Speaker 1: We'll make it fancy for you. We'll have Easter at
28:31
Speaker 1: the White House. Come on by. It'll be great. Pretty
28:34
Speaker 1: nice offer, actually. Punchbowl says some Republicans took it as
28:38
Speaker 1: a threat, not as a reward. Well, it doesn't have
28:41
Speaker 1: to be. It's carrot ended stick. Which one do you want?
28:45
Speaker 1: take the carrot, take the carrot. It's good for Easter too.
28:48
Speaker 1: The Easter bunny would take the carrot. You should take
28:49
Speaker 1: the carrot. In a Sunday night Truth Social post, Trump
28:52
Speaker 1: made it clear his position. Of course, I just shared
28:55
Speaker 1: the Truth Social post with you. So here's the president going,
28:58
Speaker 1: now work through Easter. Now, the Easter thing is interesting
29:03
Speaker 1: for a million reasons, but one of them that you
29:05
Speaker 1: may be contemplating is, well, wait a second. If Republicans
29:07
Speaker 1: work through Easter and Democrats... either stay home or they
29:13
Speaker 1: miserably stay in the Senate to work through Easter 2
29:16
Speaker 1: to prevent the Republicans from advancing anything. What are the
29:20
Speaker 1: dynamics here? Well, it could open up a series of
29:23
Speaker 1: interesting role opportunities. In the Senate, I'm not a Senate
29:29
Speaker 1: rules expert, but I do know some of the basics here,
29:31
Speaker 1: and we'll keep having Rachel Bovard back on so she
29:33
Speaker 1: can talk to us about some of this. But if
29:35
Speaker 1: we go into Easter, now two weekends away, and we
29:39
Speaker 1: have not every senator available in the United States Senate,
29:43
Speaker 1: that does change some of the math on what the
29:46
Speaker 1: votes look like. So if no Democrats are there, we
29:49
Speaker 1: can pass all sorts of things through what we call
29:51
Speaker 1: unanimous consent. There's no Democrat on the floor to object.
29:55
Speaker 1: And chances are some Democrat will be left behind. in
29:58
Speaker 1: order to try and object to unanimous consent moves. That's
30:01
Speaker 1: probably the case because Democrats are going to try and
30:03
Speaker 1: obstruct however they can. But it will create an environment
30:08
Speaker 1: where it might be easier to secure majority votes on
30:10
Speaker 1: a bunch of things, including getting nominations through. So that's important. Now,
30:15
Speaker 1: the cloture vote, you know, the 60 vote threshold that
30:17
Speaker 1: we talk about, that would still require 60 votes under
30:20
Speaker 1: any circumstances. That isn't affected by the number of senators
30:24
Speaker 1: who are actually present to vote. 60 votes is the cloture.
30:28
Speaker 1: to vote, to end debate, which is super annoying. And
30:32
Speaker 1: they could, Republicans could theoretically end that with a simple
30:36
Speaker 1: majority vote, but they've shown no appetite for that. It's
30:38
Speaker 1: very unlikely that they'll do that. But the other thing
30:42
Speaker 1: that they could do is they could actually engage the
30:44
Speaker 1: speaking filibuster for real. Remember, as I've been saying for many,
30:49
Speaker 1: many months now, as we've discussed in terms of a
30:51
Speaker 1: strategy in the United States Senate, if they want to
30:53
Speaker 1: invoke the speaking filibuster and there's not that many Democrats around,
30:57
Speaker 1: then chances are they could get this going and there
31:00
Speaker 1: are very few voices left to oppose it. They would
31:03
Speaker 1: exhaust their two speeches pretty quickly, relatively, and then we
31:07
Speaker 1: could pass the Save America Act. That might be feasible.
31:11
Speaker 1: In other words, working through Easter could create some very
31:15
Speaker 1: unique opportunities under the rules of the Senate to get
31:19
Speaker 1: things accomplished for the American people. One other component here
31:22
Speaker 1: to working through Easter. Senators hate it.
31:25
Speaker 8: They hate it.
31:27
Speaker 1: This is what we've been talking about in particular, kind
31:31
Speaker 1: of the tyranny of exhaustion, the tyranny of forcing senators
31:37
Speaker 1: to do their jobs at the times they don't feel
31:39
Speaker 1: like doing them. If senators are like, hey, I just
31:42
Speaker 1: want to go home. I don't want to be here.
31:43
Speaker 1: I want to be home for the Easter holiday. Okay, well,
31:46
Speaker 1: then do what the American people want. Give us the
31:49
Speaker 1: Save America Act. If there's any chance to create pressure
31:53
Speaker 1: right now on both Republicans and Democrats to is to
31:56
Speaker 1: threaten them with depriving them of their vacations. It could
32:01
Speaker 1: take us some distance. The president's playing hardball here. So
32:05
Speaker 1: let's stay in the fight. Let's stay in the fight
32:06
Speaker 1: with him. I love these developments overnight. I love that
32:10
Speaker 1: the president is doing this. I love that John Thune
32:13
Speaker 1: went to him and said, hey, let's make a deal
32:15
Speaker 1: with the Democrats. And Trump said, no, I want to
32:17
Speaker 1: save America. And I meant it when I said it
32:20
Speaker 1: in the first place. And if you don't think I'm serious,
32:24
Speaker 1: We're about to name names of all the Republicans who
32:26
Speaker 1: are standing in our way. So either you get serious
32:29
Speaker 1: with me or you get out of the way. That's
32:30
Speaker 1: the president's position right now. Hardball. Very interesting. As the
32:36
Speaker 1: president throws down. All right. One more thing for you,
32:40
Speaker 1: and then we'll thank our sponsors here. Mike Lee is
32:44
Speaker 1: taking a poll of the public on this subject. He
32:47
Speaker 1: wants to know, do you want, do you want, and
32:49
Speaker 1: you can go vote in this poll right now on
32:50
Speaker 1: Mike Lee's ex-account. do you want the Senate to work
32:53
Speaker 1: through Easter? And here's what he found. Look at the
32:56
Speaker 1: numbers in this. Look at this. Would you rather the
32:58
Speaker 1: Senate do, sorry, which would you rather the Senate do
33:01
Speaker 1: for the two weeks following March 27th? Debate, save, and
33:05
Speaker 1: DHS funding, or take a two-week recess? 98.7% of responses. Debate, save,
33:09
Speaker 1: and DHS funding.
33:10
Speaker 5: 18,580 votes.
33:10
Speaker 1: 18,580 votes so far. At the time we're doing this live,
33:26
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, there's a, what is it? We're at,
33:28
Speaker 1: we've got 12 hours left. Here, I'll tell you what.
33:32
Speaker 5: Here.
33:32
Speaker 1: Here's my privilege. I posted the X post right into
33:37
Speaker 1: our chat. So if you're in the live chat, go
33:38
Speaker 1: ahead and click that and vote. Would you vote there?
33:41
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can inch the votes up to
33:44
Speaker 1: another tenth of a percentage point or something. 98.7% of,
33:49
Speaker 1: Tens of thousands of respondents now say, yeah, let's debate safe.
33:55
Speaker 1: Let's debate it and get the DHS funding. Let's do
33:57
Speaker 1: it all. Mike Lee's in the fight. Love that. All right,
34:01
Speaker 1: more in a moment. We got a lot more to
34:02
Speaker 1: get to here on this edition of Vince. Hey, let
34:06
Speaker 1: me tell you about Bone Charge. I love the Bone
34:08
Speaker 1: Charge products. I use the Bone Charge infrared sauna blanket.
34:11
Speaker 1: My wife, Allison, uses the Bone Charge red light face mask.
34:15
Speaker 1: Great products. Wonderful products. Really like these things. You know why?
34:20
Speaker 1: Because that sauna blanket is a sauna inside of my house.
34:24
Speaker 1: And I can use it after a workout just to relax, rejuvenate.
34:29
Speaker 1: It's great. Just love sweating it out with a sauna blanket.

35:19
Speaker 1: thank you also to Fast Growing Trees. I'm not kidding
35:22
Speaker 1: when I say this. First of all, I saw this
35:23
Speaker 1: morning as I was getting ready for the program. I
35:25
Speaker 1: talked to Josh, producer Josh, each morning about who our
35:27
Speaker 1: sponsors are. And I was looking at, I was like,
35:30
Speaker 1: Fast Growing Trees. Oh, that's perfect. Because first of all,
35:35
Speaker 1: we had a beautiful weekend in Virginia. Just absolutely gorgeous.
35:38
Speaker 1: The trees are all starting to bloom right now. And
35:41
Speaker 1: the early bloomers are up and running. A lot of
35:43
Speaker 1: the cherry blossoms are already starting to pop. We're not
35:45
Speaker 1: at peak bloom yet, but we're getting close. And, uh,
35:48
Speaker 1: they're beautiful. It's just absolutely beautiful. But the tree that
35:51
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this year is the one
35:53
Speaker 1: that I got from fast growing trees last year. I
35:55
Speaker 1: planted it about this time last year while it was
35:58
Speaker 1: already in bloom. It came in the box in bloom
36:02
Speaker 1: to my home. Uh, and it's, it's a, an Eastern
36:05
Speaker 1: red bud. It's a, it's a red bud tree. And
36:08
Speaker 1: these are beautiful. They have these beautiful pinkish reddish buds.
36:12
Speaker 1: This at this time of the season, uh, coming up
36:14
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks, it'll really be beautiful. And, um,
36:18
Speaker 1: This morning, I went out to my window and I
36:19
Speaker 1: wanted to see if the tree looked good. And sure enough,
36:22
Speaker 1: the buds are forming. I'm super pumped about it. I
36:25
Speaker 1: know it's like the most like, whatever. It's definitely like,
36:29
Speaker 1: I'm very domesticated. If I'm at the point where I'm
36:31
Speaker 1: loving the buds on the trees, fine, I admit it.
36:34
Speaker 1: I love fast growing trees. The tree looks great. I'll
36:36
Speaker 1: have to post a picture of it. I posted it
36:37
Speaker 1: last year. I'll have to post a picture on Instagram
36:39
Speaker 1: or something. The tree looks great. And that's courtesy of

37:31
Speaker 1: I'm resetting my mind. Save Act. This is driving establishment
37:37
Speaker 1: Republicans crazy. The president's throwing it down, but establishment Republicans
37:42
Speaker 1: are freaking out right now. Check this out from Politico.
37:47
Speaker 1: This is about attention. Mike Lee's MAGA crusade is driving
37:51
Speaker 1: his colleagues crazy. What are you talking about? About attention.
37:56
Speaker 1: This is about saving our country. Attention. You think Mike
38:00
Speaker 1: Lee needs attention? That's what this is about? This is
38:03
Speaker 1: so stupid. They say it's, Politico says, among online activists
38:08
Speaker 1: and some corners of the Republican Party, Mike Lee is
38:11
Speaker 1: being heralded as a MAGA champion, willing to pressure his
38:13
Speaker 1: own party to embrace hardball tactics and or risk political suicide.
38:17
Speaker 1: But inside the Senate, the Utahns' scorched earth hyper-online methods
38:23
Speaker 1: are sparking a wave of mostly private animosity from GOP
38:28
Speaker 1: colleagues who believe his plan to push through legislation overhauling
38:31
Speaker 1: how federal elections are conducted is ill-conceived and potentially harmful
38:36
Speaker 1: to the party's chances in the midterms. Potentially harmful. The
38:41
Speaker 1: midterms could be saved by this. The ability to make
38:47
Speaker 1: sure our elections have integrity and that they are credible
38:50
Speaker 1: to the voters is essential for the mid- What are
38:53
Speaker 1: they even talking about? They believe he doesn't have a
38:56
Speaker 1: realistic path to passing the Save America Act. It's funny
39:00
Speaker 1: because President Trump's on his side. He's a guy who
39:03
Speaker 1: constantly builds new realistic paths into electoral success. In the
39:08
Speaker 1: face of everybody saying that it's impossible for President Trump
39:10
Speaker 1: to pull it off, he keeps pulling off the impossible.
39:14
Speaker 1: So maybe for once, look at history and go, you
39:16
Speaker 1: know what? I might want to side with President Trump here.
39:19
Speaker 1: I might want to side with him. They view, this
39:22
Speaker 1: is Republicans, view Mike Lee as seeking personal attention at
39:27
Speaker 1: the cost of sparking an ongoing intra-party feud. According to
39:31
Speaker 1: five Republicans granted anonymity to speak candidly about their colleague.
39:36
Speaker 1: Granted anonymity to speak candidly. What a bunch of cowards.
39:39
Speaker 1: How about put your name on the record? Now, the
39:42
Speaker 1: one guy who does put his name on the record
39:43
Speaker 1: in this political piece is Thumbelina. Not surprising. Thumbtillis, that
39:49
Speaker 1: Angry little freak. He writes, he says to Politico, that
39:53
Speaker 1: seems to be a self-serving attempt at elevating yourself at
39:56
Speaker 1: the expense of your Republican colleagues. And I don't have
39:59
Speaker 1: any patience for that sort of stuff. He said about
40:02
Speaker 1: Mike Lee's social media strategy. Look how pissy he is
40:06
Speaker 1: about the fact that the base is engaged. Look how
40:10
Speaker 1: angry Thumbelina is that Republican voters are having any influence
40:14
Speaker 1: in the United States Senate. This isn't normal. You don't
40:17
Speaker 1: usually get Republican senators talking to the public, telling them
40:21
Speaker 1: about process, telling them about what's achievable. Normally, we're super
40:25
Speaker 1: insular and secretive. We don't want the public involved, the
40:28
Speaker 1: unwashed masses. Just imagine them having influence in the Senate.
40:32
Speaker 1: That would be disgusting. Tom Tillis is angry about this.
40:36
Speaker 1: And good, your anger is my joy. I love that
40:39
Speaker 1: you're upset about this. I love that the American people
40:42
Speaker 1: are disrupting your party at this level. Tillis, a retiring lawmaker,
40:47
Speaker 1: is not one of the five who spoke privately, lamented
40:50
Speaker 1: a lack of strategic clarity from Lee on the endgame
40:53
Speaker 1: for the elections debate. Lee, however, shows no hint of
40:57
Speaker 1: self-doubt in news conferences and floor speeches, and more importantly,
41:00
Speaker 1: late night X streams and a constant stream of social
41:03
Speaker 1: media posts. This is so funny. Just listen to how
41:06
Speaker 1: dismissive Politico is and these establishment Republicans, most of whom
41:11
Speaker 1: won't put their name on the record, how dismissive they
41:13
Speaker 1: are of the fact that this guy's being transparent. Mike
41:16
Speaker 1: Lee is openly communicating with the American people, and they
41:19
Speaker 1: hate this. This is the thing they loathe. Lee said
41:25
Speaker 1: at a news conference this week, it would be a
41:27
Speaker 1: suicidal move for us as Senate Republicans, for Republicans in general,
41:33
Speaker 1: if we don't put everything we've got into this. We
41:35
Speaker 1: need to debate this as long as it takes to
41:37
Speaker 1: get it done. And then they've got people bitching. He's
41:42
Speaker 1: hurting us. He's hurting us. Oh, shut up. He's hurting you.
41:47
Speaker 6: Cowards.
41:47
Speaker 1: Won't even put their names on the record. Won't even.
41:51
Speaker 1: Just attacking him anonymously. So that's the update there. The
41:55
Speaker 1: Save America Act, I love this. This is a sign
41:58
Speaker 1: of progress. This is a sign that you are winning.
42:01
Speaker 1: That's a sign because now they're attacking you by way
42:04
Speaker 1: of Mike Lee. It's the same reason people attack Trump. Fundamentally,
42:08
Speaker 1: it's about attacking you. He's only standing in the way.
42:11
Speaker 1: The Senate Republicans are too cowardly to attack you by name,
42:15
Speaker 1: to attack the American people broadly. So they attack Mike Lee.
42:18
Speaker 1: But what they're really doing is attacking the political movement
42:21
Speaker 1: that Mike Lee is is a part of, the one
42:23
Speaker 1: that you're a part of. That's what they're doing. Mike
42:26
Speaker 1: Lee is standing in their way.
42:28
Speaker 2: Good.
42:28
Speaker 1: Keep standing in their way. I love that. I love that.
42:32
Speaker 1: All right, we got some breaking Iran news over the
42:34
Speaker 1: weekend I need to get to with you as well,
42:36
Speaker 1: including this morning, breaking news this morning, just as our
42:40
Speaker 1: show was launching today. First and foremost, Iran tried to
42:43
Speaker 1: strike a U.S. base in the Indian Ocean this weekend.
42:49
Speaker 1: People are pointing out, wait a second, I didn't know
42:50
Speaker 1: Iran had the capability to strike bases in the Indian Ocean. Yeah,
42:55
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Iran here throwing missiles in the direction
43:01
Speaker 1: of a U.S.-U.K. military base over 2,000 miles off of
43:06
Speaker 1: its coast this weekend. It has renewed questions about Iran's
43:11
Speaker 1: military capabilities. It turns out Iran was lying about what
43:14
Speaker 1: they were developing. On Friday morning, just like everything else,
43:18
Speaker 1: on Friday morning local time, Iran launched two intermediate range
43:21
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia. This is a joint US-UK
43:27
Speaker 1: military base in the Indian Ocean. A US official told CNN,
43:31
Speaker 1: adding that neither of them struck the base. This marks
43:34
Speaker 1: what appears to be the first known attempt to target it,
43:37
Speaker 1: which was deliberately built in a remote location beyond the
43:41
Speaker 1: reach of many adversaries. While the attack was unsuccessful, it
43:45
Speaker 1: shows that Iran may not be adhering to its self-imposed
43:49
Speaker 1: missile range. Iran may have lied. Its self-imposed missile range
43:55
Speaker 1: of 2,000 kilometers raising concerns about whether Tehran could hit U.S.
43:59
Speaker 1: and European interests further away than previously thought. Yeah, no kidding.
44:05
Speaker 1: So Iran is spazzing out, of course, over the fact
44:08
Speaker 1: that it's suffering pretty devastating military defeats here. Many of
44:12
Speaker 1: its capabilities have been taken offline. These are, I think,
44:17
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, kind of the last spasms
44:18
Speaker 1: of the regime. They're just throwing everything they can in
44:22
Speaker 1: every possible direction. It's not even clear if their leadership
44:25
Speaker 1: is alive or deformed and who's really in charge. It's
44:30
Speaker 1: craziness right now. Absolute madness. But Iran throwing those missiles.
44:34
Speaker 1: And Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary, was on one of
44:38
Speaker 1: the Sunday shows this weekend. He goes, this is a
44:40
Speaker 1: last-ditch desperate move by Iran. Watch Scott Besson explain this.
44:43
Speaker 1: Cut five.
44:45
Speaker 8: NBC News is reporting that President Trump is considering sending
44:48
Speaker 8: troops into Iran. Will the administration use troops to secure
44:53
Speaker 8: the Strait of Hormuz or for any other reason, Mr.
44:56
Speaker 1: Secretary?
44:57
Speaker 5: Again, as President Trump said during the press break yesterday
45:01
Speaker 5: when he was going out to Marine One, he's not
45:04
Speaker 5: going to give away what we're going to do. As
45:08
Speaker 5: President Trump always does, he's leaving all options on the table.
45:13
Speaker 5: We had a very successful bombing campaign against the military
45:16
Speaker 5: installations at Karg Island, the nexus for all the Iranian
45:20
Speaker 5: oil supply. What could happen with Karg Island? We'll see.
45:25
Speaker 5: And again, just to be clear, the command and control
45:29
Speaker 5: system of the Iranian regime is in chaos. This is
45:33
Speaker 5: Hitler's bunker. Hitler is dead. Himmler is dead. Goring is dead.
45:38
Speaker 5: The Most of what you're seeing are lone wolf activities.
45:43
Speaker 5: The mid-range ICBM that was shot off, these two missiles yesterday,
45:48
Speaker 5: that's out of desperation, Kristen.
45:49
Speaker 1: That's out of desperation. They're getting very desperate. One of
45:53
Speaker 1: the problems for Iran is every time they fire a missile,
45:55
Speaker 1: we know where their missiles are being fired from, so
45:57
Speaker 1: we destroy the launcher. They're having a lot of trouble
46:02
Speaker 1: figuring out how to sustain the conflict when we blow
46:05
Speaker 1: up everything that they've got. I could see that'd be
46:08
Speaker 1: a problem. I could see how that'd be difficult. The
46:11
Speaker 1: president this weekend, now nearly two days ago, he made
46:15
Speaker 1: a big threat to Iran. He issued an ultimatum, which
46:19
Speaker 1: we have an update on this morning. Let me start
46:21
Speaker 1: with what he threatened. He said, if Iran doesn't fully
46:24
Speaker 1: open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours
46:28
Speaker 1: from this exact point in time, he said this Saturday
46:33
Speaker 1: night at 7.44 p.m. Eastern time, So that would be
46:37
Speaker 1: 48 hours from then would be tonight at 7.44 p.m.
46:41
Speaker 1: Eastern time. He said if they don't open the Strait
46:43
Speaker 1: of Hormuz within 48 hours, the United States of America
46:49
Speaker 1: will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with
46:52
Speaker 1: the biggest one first. Thank you for your attention to
46:55
Speaker 1: this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
46:58
Speaker 5: Okay.
46:58
Speaker 1: So the big problem Iran is posing right now is
47:03
Speaker 1: that they are– causing chaos in the Strait of Hormuz.
47:07
Speaker 1: And it doesn't cost a lot for them to do that.
47:09
Speaker 1: Lobbing a couple of missiles, throwing a couple of drones
47:11
Speaker 1: in the direction of these tankers in the Strait of
47:14
Speaker 1: Hormuz is enough to shut down the traffic in the Strait,
47:18
Speaker 1: which impacts 20% of the global oil market. So it's
47:21
Speaker 1: a big deal. And the president's saying, we got to
47:22
Speaker 1: put a stop to this. So we've got to increase
47:25
Speaker 1: the stakes for the regime. I'm going to destroy power
47:29
Speaker 1: plants and energy infrastructure if you don't open the Strait.
47:32
Speaker 1: So get moving now. Now, look, remember, the president's been
47:38
Speaker 1: resisting destroying energy infrastructure. In fact, he scolded the Israelis
47:41
Speaker 1: for destroying energy infrastructure because he's trying to leave the
47:44
Speaker 1: country as intact as possible for the Iranian people in
47:48
Speaker 1: the wake of this conflict. He wants the Iranian people
47:51
Speaker 1: to succeed. He doesn't want them to live amid rubble
47:54
Speaker 1: and devastation. He wants them to have functional infrastructure. The
47:57
Speaker 1: last thing he's trying to do is create another Iraq-style
48:01
Speaker 1: power vacuum that creates more terror in the Middle East.
48:05
Speaker 1: That's not what he wants. And so he's been fighting
48:08
Speaker 1: to preserve the infrastructure there. But he's saying, look, this
48:12
Speaker 1: is an option. I've got to employ it if necessary
48:14
Speaker 1: to get the Strait of Hormuz open. And then we
48:17
Speaker 1: got some more updates from the president. This morning, the
48:20
Speaker 1: breaking news update is the president now says that this
48:26
Speaker 1: is done, that we are, that basically the Iranians, or
48:31
Speaker 1: at least for the most part, it's done. The Iranians are,
48:35
Speaker 1: are now negotiating with the United States. Take a look
48:38
Speaker 1: here at what the president said this morning. This is 7.05 a.m.
48:42
Speaker 1: Eastern time this morning. He said, I'm pleased to report
48:46
Speaker 1: the United States of America and the country of Iran
48:48
Speaker 1: have had, over the last two days, very good and
48:51
Speaker 1: productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our
48:55
Speaker 1: hostilities in the Middle East. Based on the tenor and
48:58
Speaker 1: tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will
49:02
Speaker 1: continue throughout the week, I've instructed the Department of War
49:05
Speaker 1: to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power
49:09
Speaker 1: plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to
49:14
Speaker 1: the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions. Thank you
49:17
Speaker 1: for your attention to this matter, President Donald Trump. J. Trump.
49:21
Speaker 1: So the president immediately coming out this morning and going, actually,
49:24
Speaker 1: we're in a good situation here. This is, the Iranians
49:29
Speaker 1: are now negotiating with us. And so I'm delaying this
49:32
Speaker 1: by five days. Do I believe the Iranians are actually
49:34
Speaker 1: going to open up the Strait of Hormuz at this point?
49:36
Speaker 5: No.
49:36
Speaker 1: But I am willing to put a pause on the
49:39
Speaker 1: attacks that I promised because the Iranians are at least
49:42
Speaker 1: demonstrating that they're willing to negotiate to some level. Now,
49:46
Speaker 1: that said, Iran this morning had an official– now, pay
49:51
Speaker 1: attention to this because, like, we don't even know who's
49:53
Speaker 1: in charge of the government right now. These are a
49:55
Speaker 1: bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. There are
49:57
Speaker 1: various power centers. Nobody's really quite clear on who's in charge.
50:02
Speaker 1: You're down to the JV squad. You're killing all the
50:04
Speaker 1: senior leadership. So like who's actually calling the shots? Who
50:07
Speaker 1: can even speak for the regime? Somebody in the regime
50:10
Speaker 1: this morning is claiming that there is no negotiation. Iran
50:15
Speaker 1: is denying that there's any negotiation, according to a senior
50:19
Speaker 1: source at the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. we deny
50:23
Speaker 1: what President Trump said regarding any negotiations between the United
50:26
Speaker 1: States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Republic
50:29
Speaker 1: of Iran remains committed to its stance of rejecting any
50:31
Speaker 1: form of negotiations until Iran's objectives in the war are achieved.
50:35
Speaker 3: What are you talking?
50:36
Speaker 1: Objectives in the, what objectives.
50:38
Speaker 3: In the war?
50:39
Speaker 1: You're getting destroyed. And then they claim that Trump's retreating
50:43
Speaker 1: from his previous threats. So who are you going to believe?
50:49
Speaker 1: Donald Trump or the anonymous senior source at the Iranian
50:53
Speaker 1: Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And you know what's going on.
50:57
Speaker 1: It's like Steve Wyckoff is like probably negotiating by way
51:01
Speaker 1: of like Oman or the Qataris with the Iranians right now.
51:04
Speaker 1: And they're trying to figure out a way to come
51:06
Speaker 1: to some sort of deal as we speak. Come on,
51:10
Speaker 1: you know what's happening. But the president, look, the ultimatum worked.
51:13
Speaker 1: In other words, President Trump issues an ultimatum, said, I'm
51:16
Speaker 1: going to blow up everything you care about. And then
51:19
Speaker 1: they said, okay, hold on. We're willing to negotiate. And
51:21
Speaker 1: the president said, okay, you just bought yourself five days.
51:24
Speaker 1: Five days. Let's go, boys. So the president with an
51:27
Speaker 1: update this morning, which is really good. I think very valuable.
51:31
Speaker 1: And hopefully we can bring an end to this conflict.
51:33
Speaker 1: I know the president wants to. He keeps saying that
51:36
Speaker 1: he wants to move on from this and he wants
51:38
Speaker 1: to tackle the problems that are in the United States
51:39
Speaker 1: more directly. The radical left. This is one of my
51:42
Speaker 1: favorite posts from him this weekend on Truth Social. He
51:46
Speaker 1: said the following. He goes, now with the death of Iran...
51:48
Speaker 1: The greatest enemy America has is the radical left, highly
51:53
Speaker 1: incompetent Democrat party. Thank you for your attention to this matter,
51:57
Speaker 1: President DJT. So look, you understand what the president's doing here.
52:02
Speaker 1: He wants to put a wrap on the Iran war.
52:05
Speaker 1: He wants to settle up, get the Strait of Hormuz reopened,
52:07
Speaker 1: and get about the business of tackling all of the
52:10
Speaker 1: devastation that the left is causing right now, right here
52:14
Speaker 1: in the United States of America. And I couldn't root
52:18
Speaker 1: him on more in that effort. That's what we want.
52:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
52:22
Speaker 1: I voted for this too, Chronoflux. I voted for this.
52:25
Speaker 1: Big time. All right, one more big piece of news
52:29
Speaker 1: from the weekend, and then we've got a lot more
52:30
Speaker 1: to get to on the big national radio show today.
52:34
Speaker 1: Bob Mueller is dead at the age of 81. Mueller,
52:39
Speaker 1: known most famously for leading a witch hunt against president
52:44
Speaker 1: Trump in the form of the Mueller investigation. He died
52:47
Speaker 1: at the age of 81 on Friday, on Friday. Mueller
52:53
Speaker 1: was at one point the head of the FBI for
52:55
Speaker 1: 12 years. That was from 2001 to 2013. Um, he
53:00
Speaker 1: was first appointed to the role by president George W. Bush. And, uh,
53:06
Speaker 1: You know, this is a guy who had, at least
53:09
Speaker 1: in Washington, by the time he becomes the head of
53:11
Speaker 1: the Mueller investigation, he had a reputation of being, you know, Mr. Sterling, Mr.
53:17
Speaker 1: Tell it like it is, Mr. Patriotic American, and that
53:22
Speaker 1: both parties respected him. So the idea was, well, why
53:25
Speaker 1: don't we put Bob Mueller in charge of the special
53:28
Speaker 1: counsel operation against President Trump? And then nobody will question it.
53:31
Speaker 1: Everyone will think it's all on the up and up.
53:34
Speaker 1: And in the end, after an exhausting and absolutely paralyzing
53:39
Speaker 1: special counsel investigation, Mueller's report did conclude that President Trump
53:44
Speaker 1: didn't collude with Russia at all. Democrats have, of course,
53:47
Speaker 1: ignored that detail and have continued to lie about it
53:50
Speaker 1: to this very day. But that is true, what the
53:53
Speaker 1: Mueller report actually found. But it caused a lot of
53:57
Speaker 1: chaos in President Trump's first term in office by design.
54:00
Speaker 1: Democrats were trying to to lock up President Trump's presidency
54:04
Speaker 1: and get him ejected from office. And we now know
54:08
Speaker 1: that Bob Mueller was in a lot of ways sort
54:11
Speaker 1: of kind of a senile, empty vessel the Democrats were
54:15
Speaker 1: exploiting to destroy what was left of his reputation and
54:19
Speaker 1: to use him as means to take down Donald Trump.
54:21
Speaker 1: It was all so pathetic. Now, there's no love lost
54:24
Speaker 1: between President Trump and Bob Mueller because this weekend when
54:27
Speaker 1: President Trump shared the news on Truth Social, He said this,
54:33
Speaker 1: Bob Mueller just died. Excuse me. He wrote, Robert Mueller
54:37
Speaker 1: just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can no
54:40
Speaker 1: longer hurt innocent people. President Donald J. Trump. He didn't
54:46
Speaker 1: sugarcoat it. He never sugarcoated his feelings about Bob Mueller.
54:50
Speaker 1: And here's the president saying, I'm glad he's gone. He
54:54
Speaker 1: can't hurt anybody else now. He can't hurt anybody else. Now, this,
54:58
Speaker 1: of course, was the big scandal of the weekend for
54:59
Speaker 1: the left. They thought that that was the worst thing.
55:02
Speaker 1: They never thought for a moment that Robert Mueller either
55:05
Speaker 1: being used or actively being involved in an attempt to
55:08
Speaker 1: take down a president of the United States on a
55:10
Speaker 1: false pretense was a scandal. But for President Trump to
55:13
Speaker 1: be glad that this menace is no longer on this earth,
55:17
Speaker 1: that's the real scandal. Here's Scott Besson swatting questions about
55:22
Speaker 1: the propriety of that true social post on NBC this weekend,
55:26
Speaker 1: Cut Sex, Washington.
55:27
Speaker 8: Thank you. And a different topic about a post by
55:30
Speaker 8: President Trump from yesterday responding to the death of former
55:34
Speaker 8: special counsel Robert Mueller. He posted this quote, Robert Mueller
55:39
Speaker 8: just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can no
55:42
Speaker 8: longer hurt innocent people. Do you think it's appropriate for
55:45
Speaker 8: the president of the United States to celebrate the death
55:48
Speaker 8: of an American citizen, someone who's a Bronze Star, Purple
55:51
Speaker 8: Heart recipient and who served in Vietnam?
55:54
Speaker 5: Kristen, I was with the president in the green room
55:56
Speaker 5: at Davos and there was a video playing of what
56:00
Speaker 5: may have been an illegal raid on his home at Mar-a-Lago.
56:04
Speaker 5: They are going through his wife's wardrobe. And I watched
56:08
Speaker 5: the look in his eye, and I think that neither
56:10
Speaker 5: one of us can understand what has been done to
56:13
Speaker 5: the president and to his family.
56:15
Speaker 8: But to the question of the president's post, I mean,
56:19
Speaker 8: Robert Mueller didn't order that raid. Is it appropriate for
56:22
Speaker 8: the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen, Mr.
56:26
Speaker 2: Secretary?
56:26
Speaker 5: Again, I think that given what has been done to
56:28
Speaker 5: President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either
56:32
Speaker 5: of us to understand what he has been through.
56:35
Speaker 8: So you don't think that there's anything wrong with the
56:38
Speaker 8: post saying good.
56:39
Speaker 1: Robert Mueller's death?
56:39
Speaker 5: Again, I think that the... We should all have a
56:44
Speaker 5: little empathy for what has been done to him and
56:47
Speaker 5: his family.
56:48
Speaker 4: All right.
56:51
Speaker 1: The government has been completely tyrannical towards Donald Trump, his family,
56:55
Speaker 1: the people who've worked with and around Donald Trump, Trump voters,
56:59
Speaker 1: completely tyrannical. And NBC is acting like none of that
57:03
Speaker 1: ever happened. Why was President Trump mean to Bob Mueller?
57:06
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Why is that the story?
57:14
Speaker 1: it stands to reason that President Trump would be angry
57:16
Speaker 1: at Bob Mueller, that he'd be angry, more than that,
57:19
Speaker 1: just furious at what Bob Mueller and the people around
57:22
Speaker 1: him did to this country. And the people around him
57:26
Speaker 1: really is, I think, kind of the secret sauce here. Remember,
57:30
Speaker 1: Mueller didn't really run his own investigation. That was a
57:33
Speaker 1: guy called Andrew Weissman. Andrew Weissman, where's Andrew Weissman a
57:37
Speaker 1: contributor these days? Isn't he a cable news contributor? I'm
57:41
Speaker 1: actually asking. I think he's at CNBC or NBC. Yeah,
57:47
Speaker 1: he's a legal analyst for NBC, the same network that
57:51
Speaker 1: was just going after Scott Besson just now. That's where
57:56
Speaker 1: Weissman works. That's Mueller's pit bull, the guy who was
57:59
Speaker 1: responsible for all of the tyranny inside of the Mueller investigation.
58:05
Speaker 1: That guy works at NBC. And so he was running
58:11
Speaker 1: the investigation. Remember, Mueller in his final years was living
58:16
Speaker 1: in a home for people with memory impairments. Remember this
58:21
Speaker 1: came out in August of last year, that he'd been
58:24
Speaker 1: living in a home for the memory impaired for years,
58:29
Speaker 1: that his mind was gone, that he just didn't have
58:31
Speaker 1: his faculties anymore. And the left exploited that man in
58:36
Speaker 1: order to go after Trump. And again, what was left
58:38
Speaker 1: of his reputation? In fact, let me go back to 2019.
58:42
Speaker 1: Here's Bob Mueller in testimony before the House of Representatives
58:46
Speaker 1: struggling to answer questions. He didn't even know details about
58:50
Speaker 1: his own investigation. Watch this. Cut seven.
58:53
Speaker 3: The name of that firm was Fusion GPS. Is that correct?
58:59
Speaker 3: And you're on page 103? 103, that's correct. Volume two.
59:05
Speaker 3: When you talk about the firm that produced the Steele reporting...
59:10
Speaker 3: the name of the firm that produced that was Fusion GPS.
59:13
Speaker 3: Is that correct? I'm not familiar with that. It was.
59:21
Speaker 3: It's not a trick question. It was Fusion GPS.
59:27
Speaker 1: That's in the so-called Mueller report. That guy didn't even
59:30
Speaker 1: know what Fusion GPS was. Every single person listening to
59:35
Speaker 1: this program right now knows what Fusion GPS is. Everybody.
59:39
Speaker 1: We all know that they were a part of Hillary
59:41
Speaker 1: Clinton's operation to take down Trump, that they hired Christopher
59:44
Speaker 1: Steele to compile the Steele dossier. This details, everybody knows it.
59:48
Speaker 1: Mueller didn't know it? By any means necessary. That's how
59:56
Speaker 1: the left pursues power. They'll use anybody any way they
1:00:00
Speaker 1: need to for power. And the president wants to see
1:00:04
Speaker 1: all that stop, and so do I. All right, I'll
1:00:06
Speaker 1: be back with you tomorrow on this program. Can't wait
1:00:08
Speaker 1: to chat with you then. We've got the big national

1:01:11
Speaker 2: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
1:01:13
Speaker 2: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
1:01:16
