  Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome to Vance on a Friday. It's always so
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: great to have you with us, the best audience anywhere.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot to talk about. I think you
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: just broke the United States Senate. No, seriously, I think
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you broke them. I'm telling you, I'm texting people, I'm
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: calling people, we're talking, and I'm telling you right now
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: what's happening is I think we're witnessing one of the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: most beautiful things imaginable. Utter chaos in the ranks inside
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of the Republican establishment right now. It's beautiful to watch
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: what comes next. We don't know yet, but it could
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: be very, very good. I've got a lot to discuss
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: with you coming up on today's program. As we head
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: into Memorial Day weekend, I can't wait. It's going to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: be absolutely wonderful. Thank you for being here. We got
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: great sponsors to tell you about today as we start
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: our program. Quince, Quince, baby. I got my Quince shirt
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: on today. I love Quince. And you know what I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: do with Quince? I've been simplifying my wardrobe. I've been
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: trying to choose just things that are comfortable, that are effortless,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: things that look good and make getting dressed so much easier.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: This is why Quince is my go-to. I love Quince.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Their quality feels very elevated. The fits are very sharp
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and everything comes together without any extra thought. Quince has
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: all of the wardrobe staples for spring. I'm talking 100%
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: European linen shorts, shirts that start at 34 bucks. They've
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: got their 100% Pima cotton tees. Those are great. Super clean,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: insanely soft, perfect for everyday wear. Their pants hit that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: same balance too. Relaxed, comfortable, but polished enough to wear
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: pretty much anywhere. Quince is great. And it's easy to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: reach for when I go into my closet. I'm like,
• 1:33

• 1:59
  Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you. Look, I'm telling you right now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you're going to see all of these hysterical headlines, both
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: from the left and the right, that, oh, it's chaos
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in the Senate. The Senate is lost. What is President
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Trump doing? I can't believe he's done all this. If
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: he had just endorsed John Cornyn, if he had just
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: stood by Bill Cassidy, none of this would be happening.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I am so glad it is happening.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I am so glad that there's a full blown panic
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: session playing out such that the United States Senate went
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: home yesterday with nothing done. They just they just threw
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: their arms down and they ran out of the building.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: We're not doing anything. We're taking off until June. They're upset.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: What are they so upset about? Why are they so upset?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Take a look here. Here's a reporting from Fox News's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: special report last night. Senate Republicans go insane, flee town
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: without any of that funding for ICE and Border Patrol, which,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of course, they should have funded. Why didn't they fund it?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: They just fled town.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: It's the biggest congressional rebuke of President Trump's second term.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I just don't know how this puppy dog will work.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I think there were six or seven people who are
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: going to vote no.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Republicans were on the verge of finally ending the ICE
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and Border Patrol funding impasse. The sole, sole reason we
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: are here today is because Democrats refused to fund law
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security. But the president's $ 1. 8
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: billion compensation fund killed the bill. There are a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of questions about it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I have Republican colleagues who.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: have concerns about who can receive funding from that fund.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: A meeting between Senate Republicans and Acting Attorney General Todd
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Blanch failed to convince lawmakers to oppose bipartisan amendments curbing
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the fund. This is about a profoundly corrupt plan by
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the president, and I think my Republican colleagues have reached
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: their limit. Thune said the compensation fund, quote, makes everything
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: way harder than it should be. Deadlocked, GOP congressional leaders
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: sent lawmakers home until June.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: So this afternoon, Republicans, so divided, so dysfunctional, so disorganized,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: are fleeing Washington. Their majority can't melt down fast enough.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Some presidential allies defended the compensation fund.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: People who have been wronged by their government should have
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: some sort of redress.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: And even though the president recently steamrolled opponents politically, Republicans
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: blocked him legislatively.
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: Congress has our obligation to make sure we know our funding.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: and fund the government to a reasonable expectation line.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Congress never approved the fund and lawmakers balked at awarding
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: claims to Capitol rioters. President Trump wanted ICE and Border
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Patrol funded by June 1st, but Congress missed that deadline.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed. So Congress hasn't done its job, which, remember,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Democrats are not going to fund ICE and Border Patrol
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: because they don't want borders. They don't want immigration enforcement.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So to hell with them. So we need to come
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: up with a way to pass this with just Republicans.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And the way to do that is through the reconciliation process, right?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this. Simple majority. So the House does it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Now the Senate has to do it, and the Senate's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: not going to do it? The hell is that? And
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: what's getting in the way? Did I, I'm sorry, did
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I hear that correctly? Did you say the so-called $ 1. 8
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: billion anti-weaponization fund? Let's back up for a second on
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: what the hell that means. First of all, it's not 1.8.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Please be very specific. It's the 250th year of our country, 1776,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the birth year of our country. How about we go
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: with $ 1. 776 billion, which is actually the total that's being
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: committed to the fund, not 1.8. Don't you round that number.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: The other piece of this is what the hell does
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: this have to do with Congress? It is actually at
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: this point has nothing to do with Congress. This DOJ
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: settlement fund was authorized back in 1956. It's been around forever.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Congress has already done its job with regards to making
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: this a part of statute. So to the extent that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: this became a part of the debate this week in Congress,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: They have no role in this whatsoever. This would be
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like Congress deciding we're not going to fund ICE and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Border Patrol because we didn't like a Supreme Court decision.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: What?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with your branch, you morons.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You threw a fit over what the executive branch is doing?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: How about you do your jobs? In fact, yesterday, the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Senate Republicans held what is being reported as an incredibly
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: hostile meeting with Todd Blanch, the Attorney General of the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: United States. Look at this. Here's the report. This is
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: from a guy called Andrew Desiderio. He's over at the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Punchbowl operation. He said nearly two-hour meeting with Acting Attorney
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: General Todd Blanche and Senate Republicans was incredibly hostile per
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: multiple attendees, as many as 25 Republican senators spoke. This
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: is very rare for these meetings. Usually the senators don't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: feel like doing enough work to speak. They just sit
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: there quietly. All in opposition to the weaponization fund.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: What?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: The fund that's dedicated to saving American citizens from the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: tyranny of their government? Am I seeing this correctly? 25
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Republican senators were speaking out against it? Half the Republican conference?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Can we get a list of every single person who
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: spoke up against it, please? That would be helpful. That
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: would be a useful act of reporting. Give us the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: list so we can fire all of them. Republicans pitched
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: specific ideas such as dictating how the five commissioners are
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: chosen and not allowing people convicted of violence against cops
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to be eligible for a payout. What a bunch of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: whiny bitches. So yesterday, Republicans freak out again. This doesn't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: even involve their branch. This is the executive branch making
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a wise decision. Remember how this all started? I told
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you at the beginning of the week. I told you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the week. You know, somebody send
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this to these Republican senators, because if they're just falling
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: for like New York Times op-ed pages or something here,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: they probably should change their media diet to something more useful,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like this program. I told you at the beginning of
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the week that President Trump, rather than take a dime
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: out of the United States government for the sins committed
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: against him, he had to sue the IRS for $ 10 billion.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: for their theft of his tax documents and dissemination of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: his tax documents by way of the New York Times,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: by way of ProPublica. So President Trump sues them, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: now the Justice Department has established a settlement. And in
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the settlement, the president doesn't take a dime. Nobody in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: his family is getting any money. The only thing that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: they get out of this settlement is an apology. That's it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And then in turn, they established a fund of $ 1. 776
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: billion to take care of Americans who have been hurt
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: by the government, just like President Trump. People who've been
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: spied upon by the United States. People who've been censored
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: by the United States government. People who've been at school
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: board meetings trying to speak up and have been tyrannized
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: by the federal government. These are the types of people
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we're talking about. Of course they should be made whole.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: What the hell's wrong with you? Republicans standing against this.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The White House even tried to calm the children down yesterday.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: They sent out a letter to the Senate Republicans explaining
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: what the heck is going on at the Justice Department.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Josh, you can put it on screen. We've
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: got this little graphic to show you the letter that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: they sent. There it is. That's a letter.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: There, there.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Wait, sorry, this way. Again, I'm terrible at gesturing to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: where these things are on screen. Look at that. That's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a letter. You ever see a letter before? Senate Republicans,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you ever see a letter before? How about read it?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: How about read the thing? I imagine Todd Blanch said
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: all this yesterday, but let me dive into what this.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Says.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It says the Anti-Weaponization Fund was created to hear and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: redress claims of Americans who suffered from lawfare and weaponization.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Well, that makes sense. That's the kind of the whole point.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Lawfare and weaponization. defined as the use of government power
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to target them for improper and unlawful reasons. The fund
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: results from the settlement of a case involving unlawfully leaking
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: tax returns. That would be the president's. Unlawfully searching the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: president's home and improperly targeting and investigating the president. Who
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: will benefit from the fund? Well, this is about seeking
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: accountability for all Americans who were victims of lawfare and weaponization.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Millions of Americans... Millions of Americans whose online speech was
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: censored at the behest of the government, parents silenced at
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: school boards, senators, you got that? Whose records were secretly subpoenaed,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: churchgoers targeted by the FBI, and so on. Submission of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a claim is voluntary. Nobody's required to do it. This
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is why court approval wasn't even required. There's no partisan restriction.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Democrats can submit claims too. And the president and his
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: family and the Trump organization are not getting a dime.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: They're just getting an apology. The fund is going to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: consist of five members appointed by the Attorney General Todd Blanch.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: One member will be chosen in consultation with congressional leadership. Oh,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: so Congress gets a say. The members will be tasked
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: with creating guidelines for those applying to the fund and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: will ultimately decide which claims should be paid out. Claims
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: are awarded on a case-by-case basis, and the commissioners must
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: consider a claimant's personal conduct and character when making a determination.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So if you're an unrepentant cop puncher, you're not getting money.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: That's what this says. Your conduct and character is involved.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: This structure is not without precedent, most notably in a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: case referred to as Keeps Eagle, a group of American farmers,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Native American farmers, sued alleging racism over past decades. The
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Obama DOJ settled by putting $ 680 million from the judgment
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: fund into a bank account for a single claims administrator
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to dole out. By the way, what they don't even
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: mention here is that this money was given to nonprofit
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: groups on the left that had nothing to do with
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: any of the legal claims. It was a slush fund
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: for the left. That's not what this is. This is
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to take care of people who've actually been tyrannized by
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the government, victims. This funding will come from the judgment fund.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: The judgment fund. What's the judgment fund? It's a perpetual
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: appropriation created by Congress in 1956. So it's already been done.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: As a statutory matter, it exists already. This bull crap
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: from Congress yesterday, oh, we can't, we don't like this.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Tough crap. It's already passed. It allows the DOJ to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: settle cases, including future claims, and the details of such
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: settlements are actually rarely made public.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: $ 1. 776 billion. They say it's a fair estimate of potential claims,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: given that literally tens of of millions of Americans were
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: subjected to improper and unlawful government targeting. Let me make
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a quick math point for you, because you're probably following
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: this too. Wait a second, 1.776 billion. Let's pretend for
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a moment it's 10 million Americans that successfully make a
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: claim here.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well, then that would be $ 177.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: 60 a person.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: It's not that high. It's kind of like, it's like
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: one of those class action suits. You ever get the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: mail where they're like, you're entitled to a class action suit.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And you're like, I don't think this is worth filling
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: out the paperwork because if I do, the four cents
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to receive in the mail after they
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: give it out to, you know, the millions of people
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that have been affected by the McDonald's liability suit or
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, I don't think this is going to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: really be worth my time.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: But still, they're saying we've got tens of millions of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: potential people who could claim a piece of this because
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: how many Americans were censored on social media from expressing
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: things like, I think COVID came from a lab. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: don't think you should get the jab. I don't want
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to have to do it just as a condition of
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: working at my job. And then you were like, shut down?
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Free speech in America was shut down? Is that not
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the weaponization of the federal government? You're not allowed to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: know about election altering news from Hunter Biden's laptop because
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the federal government put Facebook and Twitter at the time
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: into a chokehold and said you should censor this story.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, there's definitely been a lot of tyranny. It's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: just the idea that you have half the Republican conference
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: right now that is that's got their heads so far
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: up their asses. They actually have convinced themselves that there
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: was no government tyranny. Nobody's entitled to anything. Making Americans
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: whole to hell with them. That's their actual position right now.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And the White House can explain it clearly and slowly
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: as much as they want. But the reality is we
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: have corrupt establishment Republican senators who need to be fired.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And President Trump is in the process of doing that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: And this has caused outrage in the Republican conference. Now, remember,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: just think about how this year has gone. We've been
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: pushing for the Save America Act all year long. We've
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: been pushing for it all year long. In fact, going
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: into last year. And with each passing week, Republicans have
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: tried to come up with crafty ways to placate you,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to settle you down, to be like, don't you worry,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: we'll eventually get to it. Oh, yeah, we're on your
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: team 100 percent. And then they never actually get to it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: It's just a bunch of, you know, shows, exhibitions where
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: they just pretend like they're doing something for you, but
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: they're not actually doing anything for you. That's been our
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: great frustrations. And so far, they've been basically able to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: hold the line. They kind of have been holding their
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: conference together. They kind of are stringing us along. There's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a couple people who are speaking out about this, Mike Lee.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, they've been able to keep
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it under control. The thing that they haven't been able
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to control is that you and I have been beating
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: down their doors demanding the legislation. We want election integrity.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And we've had tremendous backup from the president of the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: United States. President Trump will not shut up about this.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And I told you last week about this as President
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Trump kept posting on Truth Social. I said, I guarantee
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: what's happening behind closed doors right now is John Soon
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: is freaking out that the president will not stop talking
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: about this legislation. And then the weekend came. What happened?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Bill Cassidy got fired in Louisiana. This never happens. Incumbent
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: senators getting canned. Trump helped make it happen. We fired
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Bill Cassidy. He came in third place in the primary.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: This week, President Trump endorses Ken Paxton. That's to throw
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: out John Cornyn. Cornyn will get pink slipped next week.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: They're going to hand him his cardboard box in Texas
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: next week. Say, you're out, buddy. You're out. And he
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: can see the writing on the wall too right now.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: So a revolution is beginning. A revolt is beginning right
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: now inside of the Republican conference. And this, I take
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: as a sign of very encouraging news. I love the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: freakout because it is a sign that real change is happening.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's uncomfortable, but it's good. It's a sign
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that they can't hold the line anymore. This is not
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: going to continue. It can't. I've got more in just
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a moment. I'm going to walk you through how the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: revolt began based on what we're seeing this week in
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the public reporting, because I think we're at the beginning
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: of something very, very important. And you should really congratulate
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: yourself for being a part of it, because you are.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You've made a lot of waves here, and now they've
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: reached the United States Senate, which is wonderful. All right,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: hold on. I've got a lot more to get to
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: all on this edition of Vince. I want to thank
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: one of our fantastic sponsors today, Pocket Hose Ballistic. Love
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Pocket Hose Ballistic. You know, we have to replace the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: garden hose at the house every year because it would suck, honestly.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: It wasn't working right. It would kink, tangle, burst. The
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Pocket Hose Ballistic, the upgrade we've been looking for. We
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: love it. It's the toughest pocket hose ever built, reinforced
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests. Now,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: we don't baby the hose, drag it across the driveway,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: yang it around tight corners. Leave it in the sun occasionally,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: but you shouldn't do that. The pocket hose ballistic is
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: so easy to put away. No excuse. Just put it away.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But even if you do, the pocket hose ballistic can
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: handle it all. Plus, it comes with the pocket pivot
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: for total freedom of movement right there at the spigot
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: with full 360-degree rotation. I move, it follows, the water flows.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And now for a limited time, when you purchase a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: new Pocket O's Ballistic, you're going to get a free
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: 360-degree rotating pocket pivot and a free thumb drive nozzle.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Just text Vince to 64000. That's Vince to 64000 for
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: your two free gifts with purchase. Text Vince to 64000.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Message and data rates may apply. Thank you to Pocket
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: O's Ballistic. Okay, so... We've got some amazing things going
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: on right now with the United States Senate. So how
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: did this all go down this week? Well, according to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a fellow called Burgess Everett, alongside an old colleague of mine,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Shelby Talcott, they report from where they're at these days.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: They're at Semaphore, Semaphore, where they are. They say the following.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: This is what happened. They say how Trump lost Senate Republicans.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: What?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: The answer to that is Senate Republicans didn't pass the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Save America Act. Let me short circuit the whole thing.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They didn't pass the Save America Act. America Act. That's
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: how that's how this happened. And so and now they're
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: now they're living with the consequences of their own inaction.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: But here's what the thing says. President Trump's juice is
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: low after Bill Cassidy lost and Trump endorsed against Cornyn
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: per senators and aides. His juice is low. His juice
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: seems kind of high. If he can pick and choose
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: senators to fire, I would say he's got high juice,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: not low juice. His juice is high, not low. Senate
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Republicans hated the Ken Paxton endorsement. They hated it. They
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: saw the attack on the parliamentarian as a low blow. Politically,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the anti-weaponization fund is, quote, unexplainable. And that's the problem,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: said Senator Kramer. Screw you. What do you mean unexplainable?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: You know how many Americans were absolutely treated like utter
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: crap by the federal government? That's the explanation. McConnell, using
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Democrats' words, called it a slush fund. Timing for the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: fund was terrible coming before the reconciliation vote. A GOP
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: aide saying, quote, this is a delay of the administration's making. No,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it's not. No, it's not. This is, that's garbage. That's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: utter garbage. Here's why. Again, this is the executive branch's discretion.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Congress authorized this thing back in 1956. You have nothing
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to do with it right now. You let that be
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: an excuse for your own inaction. Republicans spent two weeks
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: wrangling over ballroom security. That's East Wing security, by the way,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: not ballroom. Before deciding to drop it, the White House
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: indicated to Republicans it could threaten to veto a reconciliation
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: that's not to Trump's liking.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: You know, there are three, fundamentally three major parties to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: any piece of legislation. Do I need to go through
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Schoolhouse Rock for you? The House, the Senate, and the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: president all have to sign off on legislation for it
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to become law. So if the president doesn't like it,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: he can veto it. Grassley told Blanche that the administration
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: needs to coordinate more with Congress. What the hell is,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: what is he talking about? The administration has been so kind.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: President Trump has been so completely patient with the Senate
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to levels that have at times frustrated me. But again,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I keep voting for the guy. So part of this
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: is just like kind of trusting his judgment to do
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the job. But it's frustrated me that he's not been
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: calling for John Thune to be trebucheted out of leadership.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: It's like, come on, the guy's your problem here. Grassley,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: for his part, Grassley is an impediment because he leads
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee, and he's the reason we still have
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: blue slips in the United States Senate right now. He's
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the reason that we're still dragging ass on U.S. attorneys
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and federal judges. That's insane to me. Adam Schiff and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the rest of these idiots should not have a veto
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: over the people that we need in the criminal justice
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: system to render justice. And so Grassley and John Thune
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: are lucky that the president has held his fire with them.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: We need them to cooperate with us more. Dude, you are,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: what's the president say about these guys? You don't have
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the cards. You don't have the cards. You don't have
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the leverage, pal. President Trump is holding all the cards
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: right now, and you're going to stick a finger in
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: his eye? Man, I really wish he would work with
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: us more. That's all he does is work with you.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: In fact, to our great frustration, it's taken forever to
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: get the bare minimum out of you. So that's Grassley.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: White House official, no one should be doubting how he's
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: able to bend everything to his will. They're referring to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the president here. Senator Lankford on jilted Republican senators says, quote,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: none of them are punitive enough that they're not going
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to do something to poke him in the eye, but
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: they also represent their state. In other words, I think
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: he's saying that they're going to try to avoid upsetting
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the president, but they need to represent their state, I
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: think Lankford is saying. Okay, that's fine. But wouldn't representing
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: your state mean taking care of the people who live
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: within it? Why would you get in the way of
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a fund dedicated to helping them out? They're upset... Look,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: what are they upset about, Vince? They're upset that their
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: establishment game is being upended. That's what they're upset about.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: They're upset that you have a say in the business
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of the United States Senate. They're upset that the Save
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: America Act is being taken this seriously at this level
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: by this country. They're upset that this is distracting from
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: their ability to continue their status quo corrupt schemes. They're
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: upset that they're watching their establishment buddies get fired by
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the American people at the behest of the president of
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the United States. They're upset that the good old boy
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: club is being broken up before their very eyes. That's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: what they're upset about. So their emotional response is a
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: clear indicator that you are winning.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Clear.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: It's not even close. It is clear that you are
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: winning this fight. In fact, John Thune told reporters yesterday
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: that President Trump's endorsements and thus voters' decisions to fire
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: all of his friends have been playing a role in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: why Republicans are freaking out. Here's what he said, according
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to Brendan Pedersen. He's a reporter as well. Brendan Pedersen
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: is a reporter with Punchbowl. Thune was asked if Senate
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Republicans are responding to politics, i.e. Trump's endorsements and snubs
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: this week. Quote, it's hard to divorce anything that happens
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: here from what's happening in the political atmosphere around us,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Thune said. You cannot disconnect those things. You cannot disconnect
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: those things. Oh, it's about the politics of it. Now, Chad,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: let me ask you a really basic question here. If
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn didn't want to be fired, what should he
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: have done? If Bill Cassidy did not want to be fired...
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: What should he have done? If John Thune didn't want
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: to see all of his establishment buddies getting fired by
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the voters, what should he have done? Let me just
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: give me some ideas here. What could he have possibly done?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: What could these guys have done to avoid the chaos
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that they're now witnessing and engaged in? Yeah, that's right.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Lightning Rabbit, Chop Wood, you've got it. The Save America Act.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Pass the freaking Save America Act. Do you know how
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: far that would go? Do any of you nimrods understand?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: And do I have to speak slowly here? Let me,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: let me.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, look, you want to keep your job? I've got
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: advice for you.
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: You ready?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Pass. The Save America Act. No, no, no. Shut up.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Don't ask any other questions. Save America. That's all you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: have to do. You do that, you keep your job.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: You don't do that, you lose your job. No, no, no.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Just pass it. Just pass it. This is so freaking simple.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: This is so.
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: Freaking simple. Your careers, if you want to do this anymore,
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: just do what we want. That's the deal we have.
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: That's the deal. You should have passed the Save America Act.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Shoulda, woulda, coulda. And now you're suffering the consequences of
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: your own failure. Sean Davis said this. We love Sean.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Very smart. He reacted to this nonsense from Thune. He goes,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Trump told Thune exactly what he needed to do to
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: save Cornyn. And he gave him months to get it done.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Thune and Cornyn and the rest of the worthless Senate
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Republicans refused to do it, and now they're acting like
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a bunch of spoiled crybabies. You should have passed the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Save America Act. You didn't do it. Now we're looking
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: for somebody who will.
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: This was the easiest possible thing. In fact, why are
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: they even taking off at all until June? Get your
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: asses back to the Senate, pass the Save America Act,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and we can change the dynamics. You want to win
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the midterms? Do you really want to hold on to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a majority in the Senate? How about do something that's
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: worth voting for? And, you know, this whining about the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: fact that Americans are getting money from a weaponization fund,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: legitimately getting money from a weaponization fund, it's pretty rich
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: coming from these Republicans in the Senate. And I'll tell
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: you why. There's a lot of reasons, but there's one
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: really delicious hypocrisy here. Mitch McConnell and others are complaining
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: right now about the fund. You heard a bunch of
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: other of these Republican senators are complaining. 25 of them
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: were apparently bitching and moaning at the attorney general about
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: this yesterday. Did you know that the Republicans in the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Senate voted to give themselves money last year for being victimized?
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: by the federal government. Did you know this? Look at this.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: New York Times, November of last year. Spending bill would
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: pave way for senators to sue over phone searches. Republicans
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at lawmakers' phone records.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: for $ 500, 000 each.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Hold on. So Republicans in the Senate voted for legislation
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that would give United States senators half a million dollars
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: apiece if they were spied upon by the federal government.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: So you are entitled to be made whole if the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: government is weaponized against you. But Americans broadly who are
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: not in the United States Senate are entitled to nothing.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Do I understand the rules of this game correctly? This
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: feels like a George Carlin bit, you know, it's a
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: big club and we ain't in it. Half a million
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: dollars a piece for you, but nothing for us. Got it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Remember when the news broke last year that all these
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: senators were being spied upon? I said to you at
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the time, I was like, man, if they can do
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: it to them, imagine what they're doing to the rest
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: of us. But it was interesting that we had never
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: heard more volume or fervor from Senate Republicans than who
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: are demanding the impeachment of all sorts of figures, the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: imprisonment of all sorts of figures. How dare you spy
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: upon us? We need to be made whole. We need
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the justice system to work. Man, they finally got loud.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: $ 500, 000.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: A piece for you. Now, you're probably wondering, is that really,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is that the law? Did that actually happen? The answer
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to that is no, it didn't in the end happen.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And the reason for that is because in the United
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: States House, they got rid of it. The House members
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: got rid of it. The House unanimously voted to scrap
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the measure that could give senators up to $ 500, 000 for
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: being spied upon. That happened by November 19th. But just
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: so you know, United States senators, Republicans, voted to give
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: themselves money as a way to make themselves whole after
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: they had their rights attacked. And they did have their
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: rights attacked. Clearly. The government... under the control, especially of
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama and Joe Biden, was out of control. It
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: was completely tyrannical. And, you know, for years now, we
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: have been trying to basically, metaphorically, grab Republicans by the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: shirt collar and say, hey, will you please get at
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: election rigging? Would you please get at all of these
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: tyrannies that are being perpetrated against the American citizens? Why
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: is it so hard just to get you to speak
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: in English sentences about the things that matter so much
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to us? And now it's coming to a head. We're
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: living through a revolutionary moment. And Republicans in the Senate
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: are freaking out. Good. Freak out. It's a clear sign
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that we are winning right now. All right. We've got
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: a lot more to get to. I'm sorry. I'm just
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: energized today. I'm very energized. I think something very good
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: is happening. And so I'm happy to share it with
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you today. But man, it is messy. You know how
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I sleep so well at night, though? I want to
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: thank Beam's Dream Powder for helping me do it. We
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: love Beam's Dream Powder. They're great. And not just because
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: of how it changed how I sleep, but because of
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the great people who make it. Beam is American-made in
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: a world where it feels like everything is made somewhere else.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: That does matter to me. Dream has totally transformed my sleep.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I was not able to sleep as well
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: before Dream. And now I can sleep like a baby.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I sleep through the night, wake up refreshed. Dream is

• 33:32
  Speaker 1: for the other component of my good sleep, which is
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Helix Mattress. We love Helix Mattress in my house. Allison
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and I, you know, we had a crappy mattress before.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: We bought it at a mattress store. We didn't realize
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: it was crappy, though. We thought it was good. We're like, oh,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: we got the good one. And then we're sleeping on it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, eh, it's not that good. Is it the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: mattress or is it me? It was the mattress. And
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: then we found Helix. We then we found Helix and man,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: that's changed our lives. We both love our Helix mattress.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And the reason that we have such confidence in it
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and the reason we matched up so nicely is because
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: over at helixsleep.com slash Vince, they've got this sleep quiz.
• 34:07

• 34:09
  Speaker 1: up with the perfect mattress for you and the way
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you sleep. That's how we ended up with the Midnight Luxe.

  Speaker 1: you sleep. There's no guesswork, no compromises, and I feel
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the difference. In fact, Helix has done the research on
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: it too, and they found that 82% of sleepers actually

• 34:58
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you to Helix. Yeah, look, I'm sorry. I'm spending
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of time on this issue today because I
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: think that we're at the beginning of something very, very epic.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Or not even at the beginning. The beginning was a
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: while ago. That's usually how beginnings go. But we're at
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: a real big pivot point right now. And I'll be
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: fascinated to see what the president of the United States
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: does with it. because he's dealing with some lunatics in
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: the Senate. And he's working on cleaning it up. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: told you this week that nearly 20% of Republicans are
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: being turned over right now. That's great. But we've got
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: more to go. We've got more to go. And at
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: this rate, I don't think John Thune stays as the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: leader of the United States Senate. I don't think that happens.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Meanwhile, over in the United
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: States House of Representatives, the president continues to have problems there, too,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: among some of these guys. You've got a Pennsylvania congressman
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: by the name of Brian Fitzpatrick. Any of you in
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: chat live in his district? You may want to change
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: your congressman soon. He just joined an effort in the House,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: a bipartisan effort with a Democrat called Tom Swozy. to
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: ban the anti-weaponization fund, to get rid of the fund
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: designed to help American citizens who've been attacked by their government. Yeah.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: So what is that exactly? Now, I don't expect that
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: to go anywhere. I think we've got enough sway in
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the House right now to prevent this idiocy from going forward.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: But the lesson here is clearly that obviously there are
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Democrats who are really happy with government tyranny, but there
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: are even Republican congressmen who are trying to protect government tyranny.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: This dude's a psychopath, Brian Fitzpatrick. The hell is that?
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: You're going to protect a tyrannical government? You should not
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: be in the United States House of Representatives. Just imagine
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: putting your name on that and then pretending like that
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you're doing something decent. That's actually horrifying.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Horrifying.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: And the president has not been happy with that Brian
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick character. He was going after him earlier this week
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: as well. And I expect he'll probably do a little
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: bit more of that. But his problems right now primarily
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: are in the United States Senate. And that's what he's
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: trying to deal with. That's what he's trying to deal with.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Let me see a couple of remainders from the United
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: States Senate of people who are running in Senate races.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: We've got John Cornyn, who is still pretending like he's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: going to beat Ken Paxton next week, despite the fact
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: that the voters in Texas don't want him and President
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Trump has endorsed Ken Paxton. Here's Cornyn on C-SPAN. Watch this.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Cut to. Pack has vowed to do the same thing.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Will you do that? Or how do you feel about
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: him saying he's going to do that at this stage
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: in the race when it's not over?
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: You know, judgment day is coming for Ken Paxton, maybe
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: in more ways than one. But the election on May
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: the 26th is the first time he will actually have
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: been held accountable for all of his misdeeds.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: He lied. to his senior staff who turned him in
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: to the FBI because he was interfering with a federal
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: investigation of his campaign treasurers. When he fired them, they
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: became whistleblowers, sued him, and got a $ 6. 6 million judgment
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: against the state of Texas. That's you and me. He's
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: not going to have to pay that. You are. And
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: then he's lied to the people of our great state.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: And so the question arises. So what's happening here is
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: John Cornyn is trying to dirty up Ken Paxton in
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the final days of the campaign. Now, Cornyn sees the
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: writing on the wall. Cornyn's smart enough to know that
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: he's about to lose this race. So he's going to
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: spend the final days of the campaign trying to muddy
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: up Ken Paxton? How does that help Republicans, first of all?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Because supposedly John Cornyn is Mr. Establishment. I'm going to
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: help the Republican Party. And then most importantly, how does
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: that help the country? You want James Talifrico to win
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the gig? Is that what you want? Wouldn't you realize
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: that it's so obvious that you're losing next week that
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: at this point you should just drop out of the
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: race anyway? But no, he doesn't. He's holding on to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the bloody end because Cornyn, like Bill Cassidy, has decided
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: that this is not about any underlying principle. It's not
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: about the good of the country. It's about instead your
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: ego and how it's bruised. And so the balance of
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: your time in this race and then subsequently in Congress
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: will be spent on a revenge tour against the people
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: who stopped your political career. Again, President Trump is clarifying
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: for us. Isn't he the great clarifier of our time?
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: He's clarifying for us who's actually on our side. If
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: it was just a difference of opinion and President Trump
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: endorses Ken Paxton and Cornyn's like, yeah, you know what?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I still love the country. I still love my party.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything to get in the
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: way with it. I'm going to bow out. Just let
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: this happen. That would be the kind of response you'd get.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: But instead, you get this kind of venom in the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: closing days of the campaign designed to hurt Ken Paxton
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to try and wound him heading into the general election.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: It's so selfish. But President Trump's exposing all of it.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: So every time I see one of these headlines, it's like,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I can't believe President Trump did this. Thank God President
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Trump did this. That's my attitude about it. I'm grateful
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: for that. No figure in American politics has done more
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to clarify who everybody is, what they represent, what they're
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: all about than President Trump. Have you noticed that? Everybody's
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: kind of exposed their true colors because of President Trump.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's just amazing. Insane. Meanwhile, there's up in Maine,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: there's a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo running for office.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: His plan is to join the United States Senate because,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you know, Democrats, Nazis, you know, they kind of go together. Here's,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: the guy's name is Graham Platner. He's pretended, he called
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: himself a history buff. And then he was like, I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: had no idea I had a Nazi tattoo. What kind
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: of history buff are you? So are you a liar
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: about being a history buff? Is that what it is?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Or are you lying about the fact that you knew
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: you had a Nazi tattoo? At what point were you lying?
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: That's really the fundamental question, I guess. But he's kind
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: of wacky. He's very wacky. And earlier this week, there
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: was some reporting about an old Reddit thread that he had.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: He's been trying to cover all this up. But apparently
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: he was talking about how frequently he spent his time. Well,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: how do I describe this? Even on a podcast, even
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: on an uncensored podcast, how does one describe this? He
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of time whacking it, is what he said,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: in port-a-johns overseas. So somebody asked him about this as
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: he entered a school yesterday. And here's what that looked like.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Graham Platner, do you still have to masturbate when you
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: see porta-potties? I don't know who asked that question. But
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: God bless him. By the way, that was the medical
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: explanation for what Grant Platner.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Was up to.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: So that was probably the best way to describe it.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: So anyway, if you're wondering how Grant Platner's campaign is going,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: he's running. For those of you who are listening to
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: the audio podcast, Platner refused to even acknowledge the question
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: and he sprinted into the school. although they should probably
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: keep him away from the school. How is he allowed
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: near a school? Curious about that. Yes, indeed. No, Democrats
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. In fact, we had a
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: news report come out yesterday that the DNC's autopsy, the
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Democrat National Committee's autopsy of what happened in the 2024
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: campaign was finally released. And it revealed that Democrats don't
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: care at all about trying to appeal to voters. How
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: do we know that? Because nobody put any effort into
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: this autopsy. CNN had this report and they said that
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: they were describing it. They were saying that there were
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of conspiracy theories that were being fed about
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: this report originally because it wasn't coming out. The delay
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: fed a rat's nest of self-serving conspiracy theories. Remember, as
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I read these, these are all from the left. These
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: are just left-wing conspiracy theories. One of them was that
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the DNC chairman, Ken Martin, was trying to protect Kamala
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Harris as she considers another presidential run. That's a good theory.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's about her. She is the frontrunner. Obama campaign
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: alumni might have been protecting each other. That's a good theory.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: They're corrupt. They would do that. High-priced consultants were trying
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: to keep millions in fees from being revealed. Okay, so
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: that's another good theory. A lot of big money in
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. They have a lot of corruption. So
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: maybe that's what was being protected. Again, this is the
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: left's theories about this. Or the party was trying to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: hide how voters reacted to the Gaza crisis. That's a
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: euphemism for saying they were trying to hide how anti-Semitic
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: their party is. Or one of the most widespread theories,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: maybe the autopsy didn't exist at all. Well, the reality
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: is it does exist. They do exist. It does exist.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: And what they found out is that it sucks. It
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: was terrible. CNN obtained extensive details about its contents, including
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: slides from a presentation at a donor retreat that were
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: generated using an AI model. DNC officials turned the whole
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: thing over to CNN. CNN is publishing its missing key sections,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: including a conclusion because those sections weren't submitted, according to
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the DNC. There are factual errors. They had misspellings of
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: the names of former New Jersey Governor John Corzine, former
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin. They incorrectly listed the margin of
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: victory in the 2024 race for North Carolina governor. In
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: other words, the report was so half-assed, so poorly produced,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: not even spell-checked. It was, somebody took their face and
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: and rolled it on a keyboard and then said, here's
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: an autopsy. The DNC didn't want to release it because
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: to the extent that they have any shame at all,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: they saw this document and they're like, this sucks. We
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: can't release this. This doesn't tell any stories. And so
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: what's the story that we derive from it? Well, the
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: story we derive is that the DNC doesn't care about voters.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: If you did, you would actually make an earnest effort
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: to find out why you lost the 2024 election. You'd
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: be thinking it through. You'd be like, well, how do
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: we win going forward? And the way to win under
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: a conventional understanding is to appeal to voters. So what
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: was unappealing about our offer to voters in 2024? Well,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: the borders were wide open. America was in chaos. We
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: had prices were sky high. Inflation was at unfathomable levels.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: The Democrat primary voters were not even given a choice
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: of who their candidate was. Kamala Harris was imposed on them.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: She was one of the single most incompetent— she was probably
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: the single most incompetent presidential nominee in American history. She
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: was completely unlikable, running against a sincerely likable and certainly
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: charismatic and— accomplished former president, a guy who had a
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: track record of success that was now being compared against
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: the track record of the morons who were running against him.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: So those are all exact. Pay me. You could have
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: paid me a couple of bucks, give me a steak dinner,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: and I could have told you the answer to this question.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: You lost because you suck. That's the reason. It's not
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: that complicated. You don't have to have any typos. That's
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: an easy sentence to spell. but they care so little
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: about their voters, they didn't even bother to do a
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: real autopsy. So what that really tells us is Democrats
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: realize that they don't win power based on votes. They
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: win power based on rigging. They have 40 unearned congressional
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: seats across the country right now, thanks to rigging congressional districts.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: There's nothing to do with appealing to voters. They just
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: racially segregate districts or they get unearned districts with illegal
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: aliens populating the ranks of the United States Senate, census rather,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: in a way that we can't distinguish them from American citizens.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: So Democrats operate off of unearned power. They kick... presidential nominees,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: presidential candidates off of ballots in places like Maine and Colorado,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: which is what they did to President Trump. They tried
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: to banish him from the ballot, not because they had
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: better ideas, but because they didn't, because their ideas suck.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: And the only way they get power is by rigging ballots.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: They rigged the entire media conversation by foreclosing entire patterns
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: of conversation that you're, things that you're not allowed to
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: talk about. You're not allowed to talk about COVID, not
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: allowed to talk about where it came from, not allowed
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: to talk about Hunter Biden. They banish you from social media.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: The big media companies prevent people from talking about these things.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: And to the extent they acknowledge them, they say they're
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theories. It's an entire system of rigging dedicated to
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Democrat power that has nothing to do with appealing to voters.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: It just has everything to do with either scaring them
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: into compliance or rigging the way that they get their
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: votes counted in the first place. So that's, of course,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: why they didn't have a real autopsy. They didn't need one. What,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: we're going to start appealing to voters now? No. No,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: we've gone too far. We say boys can become girls.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Nobody likes that. We open up borders. Nobody likes that. Yeah, no,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: there's no chance we're going to admit that's the reason
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: we lost the election.
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: Got it.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we have an administration that is tackling the left's crimes.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: It's fraud. It's rigging. Yesterday, we had a huge bust
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: in the state of Minnesota where tampon Tim Walz, the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: vice presidential nominee, I can't even believe they did that,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Where tampon Tim Walz is in charge. Yesterday, we got
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: a huge announcement that Fraud Force has busted a $ 90
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: million Medicaid fraud scheme. And they've announced charges against 15
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: people with more to come. Epic, epic thing. Huge announcement yesterday.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Colin McDonald, who's the assistant attorney general that handles fraud
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: at the Justice Department, made the announcement, which is great.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: That's the guy who reports directly to the vice president
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: of the United States, J.D. Vance. And last night, J.D.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Vance released a message that explaining what exactly just went
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: down in Minnesota yesterday.
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Just like all of you, I was shocked last December
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: when I watched Nick Shirley's bombshell investigation of migrant fraud
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: in Minnesota, which called attention to the now infamous Quality
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: Learing Center, instead of learning, and other schemes across that state.
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: This morning, The ringleader of the $ 250 million Feeding Our
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: Future fraud scheme in Minnesota was sentenced in federal court
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: to over 40 years in prison, bringing justice to the
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: countless schoolchildren and families she had scammed. And on top
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: of that, today, federal law enforcement launched a massive raid
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: in Minneapolis. Across the city, agents have arrested 15 people
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: for suspected fraud that amounted to $ 90 million. This includes
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota history,
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, the autism fraud scheme, to be clear, you know
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: what's happening with that. This is mostly Somali families in
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Minnesota who are getting kickbacks from from fraudsters. So the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: fraudster would say, hey, I'm going to run this autism center.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take a bunch of Medicaid money. But
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: in order to do it, I need actual human children
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: that we can say are autistic, but we don't have
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: any of those. So the parents are like, don't you worry,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: we'll pretend. So they pretend like the kid's autistic. And
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: instead of having the kid get any service whatsoever, because
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: the kid's not autistic, doesn't need service, the fraudster takes
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: a ton of money and he gives the family a
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: little bit of a kickback so that they can use
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: their human children as a part of this scheme. That's
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: the way it's been going down. And this is the
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Trump administration busting that entire operation by the US federal government.
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: With this action, we're bringing justice to some of America's
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: most vulnerable citizens and justice to the American taxpayer. In 2018,
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: Minnesota tried to provide housing services for the homeless. They
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: estimated that the cost of the program would be $ 2.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: 5 million a year.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: By 2024, the program had exploded to $ 104 million annually.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: And almost all of that, almost all of it was
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: because of fraud.
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: As a result, the state had to shut down the
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: program and can no longer provide those services to Americans
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: in need. So we've got homeless veterans sleeping on the streets.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I can't take it. Because fraudsters got rich. Awful.
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: But it's not just the homeless who are the victims
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: of these fraudsters. The victims in the cases announced by
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: DOJ today also include disabled Americans who rely on community
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: support to live full, independent lives, and citizens for whom
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: defrauding such programs is literally a matter of life and death.
• 52:27
  Speaker 7: In one of the most horrifying cases charged today, a
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: recipient who needed 24-hour care was supposed to be receiving
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: exactly that through a Minnesota Medicaid benefit program, but he
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: received Nothing. No care, no services, nothing for months on end.
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: And then he went quiet. For two days, a neighbor
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: tried to check on him, knocking on his apartment door.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 52:55
  Speaker 7: Shortly after, he was found dead. One day before this
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: man died, the fraudster in question had tried to bill
• 53:03
  Speaker 7: for the non-existent services, the services that if they had
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: been provided, this man might actually be with us today.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: In other words, there were even people who were supposed
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: to be receiving these services and the fraudsters were merely
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: using them as a vehicle to steal this money and
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: to provide no aid whatsoever. That man was found dead
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: and the fraudster was still trying to collect money for
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: providing nothing. God bless the team that's cracking down on this.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Please do more, more, more, more. And I'm glad J.D.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Vance is on this. You know, I will say, If
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: they can continue this pace to take down these fraudsters,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: this has the chance of being up there with securing
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: the border as one of the biggest successes of this administration.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: It's just incredible. And we're talking hundreds of billions of
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: dollars of fraud every year in the United States.
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: More, more, more.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Stop these evil people. Stop them in their tracks. One
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: of those evil people tried to flee the feds this week.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: It led to hilarious video. This guy, his name is
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Muhammad Omar. Muhammad Omar. I don't know if he's any
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: relationship to Ilhan, but Muhammad Omar leapt from the fourth
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: story of a building and broke his leg. It looks
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: like he broke his leg on the run from law enforcement.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Take a look at this. Cut four. Watch.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: Before I begin, my crux of my remarks, I need
• 54:34
  Speaker 8: your help. On the screen, you will see a subject
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: depicted on the screen here of an individual who was
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: a target of the investigation this morning. That individual is
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: currently on the run after having jumped out of a
• 54:47
  Speaker 8: fourth-story balcony. I want you to get a good look
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: at him right now. You'll see him running here. He
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: is currently on the run. We need your help.
• 54:58
  Speaker 10: If you recognize this individual, if you know this individual,
• 55:01
  Speaker 10: if you can provide any information related to this individual,
• 55:07
  Speaker 10: I would encourage you to call 1-800-CALL-FBI, C-A-L-L-F-B-I, or go
• 55:16
  Speaker 10: to the Internet at www.tips.fbi.gov or call your local law enforcement.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: He's hopping. I was thinking after they announced this, I
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: was like, it can't be that hard to find the guy,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: can it? So here's they gave you his update. Somebody
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: asked for more clarification about the fraudster and who was
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: hopping away from law enforcement. And of course, the feds
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: were hot on his track. You would normally say tracks,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: but he only had one foot to hop on. They
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: were hot on his track. Here's what they said. Cut
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: five about him yesterday.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: The man in this in this video, he is a
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: charged defendant named Mohammed Omar, Mohammed Omar, uh... is the
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: man in this video he is charged one of the
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: fifteen defendants charged in the fraud uh... cases that we
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: have uh... brought today and i would encourage the public
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: to help turn this man in to face justice for
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: the fraud that he is perpetrated and now to face
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: the additional charges uh... for seeking to flee from law
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: enforcement and seeking to obstruct justice by virtue of his
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: conduct today uh.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: so you know i don't i don't know He looked
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: pretty hoppy yesterday. And the truth is, like, he might
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: say that he's not guilty, but I don't think he
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: has a leg to stand on. I think he's in trouble.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: They did catch him yesterday. The feds, the FBI announced,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Kash Patel announced that he's been captured, which is wonderful news.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Kash. Thank you, guys. He says after today's
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: interagency press conference announcing those 15 health care fraud indictments,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: In Minnesota, the below subject who was on the run,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Muhammad Omar, has now been arrested. He's charged with health
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: care fraud involving a housing stabilization services company with fraudulent
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: claims for services not provided and diverting the proceeds for
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: personal benefit. There he is. We got Hoppy. We got him.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: We got him. You know who else we got? We
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: got somebody who was running a fraudulent daycare that was
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: featured in one of Nick Shirley's videos. Isn't that fun?
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: God bless Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley was at the press
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: conference yesterday in Minnesota. And Dr. Oz was there. RFK Jr.
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: Was there.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: They were thanking Nick Shirley for his great work. Feeding
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: our future defendant now facing daycare fraud charges in Minnesota.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: This is a local Fox affiliate, KMSP. They say here,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: Fahima Ega Muhammad was charged with Wednesday with wire fraud
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: and conspiracy to fraud the United States. Prosecutors say Muhammad
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: was the CEO of Future Leaders Early Learing, a daycare
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: in Minneapolis near George Floyd Square. Authorities say Muhammad enrolled
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the daycare into the federal child nutrition program through Feeding
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Our Future and falsely claimed to be serving thousands of
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: meals at her child care center. She was featured in
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Nick Shirley's viral video, viral video that the media was
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: crapping all over and the rest of us were celebrating
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: because it was calling attention to fraudsters that we need
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: to get the hell out of our country. And so
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: that process is taking place. Nick Shirley getting big thank
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: yous yesterday and the media not at all correcting its
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: slander of Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley, we salute you. I
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: want to thank America's veterans, but the most important thing
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: for us to do this weekend is Memorial Day is
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: to honor the fallen, to thank the many heroes in
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: our nation's history who've paid the ultimate sacrifice for our
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: great country. I want to just honor their memories today
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: as we head into Memorial Day weekend. God bless them
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: for keeping this great American project going. And we should
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: be inspired by their sacrifice because we have a great
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: country and we should fight every day. Fight, fight, fight.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: every day to keep it going. And not just in
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: their honor, but to uphold the great gift that they've
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: given us. So thank you to America's Heroes. Memorial Day
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: is all about you. Appreciate that. Today on the Big
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: National Radio Show, I will have the honor, two things,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind. We've got two things I want
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: to share with you. One, General Colonese is going to
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: join me on the show today. For those of you
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: who don't know, my father is a retired Marine Corps
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: major general. He'll be joining me on the show today.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: I asked him if he would mind stopping by. We'll
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: talk about Memorial Day with him on the big national
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: radio show. That's coming up today. And one other thing,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: this is, I know we make a distinction, of course,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: between Veterans Day and Memorial Day, but I can't help
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: but think of ways we can help our veterans too
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: on Memorial Day. There is a project that I'm a
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: part of. It's called Operation Raise the Roof. We put
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: roofs over the heads of America's veterans. And this is
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: fundamentally for guys who can't afford to get a roof
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: but have served our country so honorably. It also takes
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: care of Gold Star families, too. That's a direct Memorial
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Day reference for you. It's called Operation Raise the Roof.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: If I can show this to you. The website is opraisetheroof.org, opraisetheroof.org.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: And it's a great team. And what they do is
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: that free of charge, they put a new roof over
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: the heads of American veterans. So far, they've done $ 760, 000
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: in donations that have been raised to fund these free
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: roof replacements. They go over the roofs of over the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: homes of these great American veterans. Oftentimes, a lot of
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: these guys are Vietnam veterans these days. that we take
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: care of. And, um, it's, it's really neat to be
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: able to say welcome home to our Vietnam veterans. And
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: usually what, uh, what we do is it's every quarter,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: a new roof for a veteran, uh, family. And, uh,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: we'll get the fire department out there. They'll raise a
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: big American flag over the top of the house. We'll,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: we'll bring out the local police department. We'll locally show,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: we'll usually show up local barbecue joint. We'll show up,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: make food for everybody. Um, it's, it's wonderful. And, uh,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: I just, I just really think they have an amazing mission.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: So I'll be talking about this a little bit on
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the radio show today as well. But it's Operation Raise
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: the Roof. That's opraisetheroof.org, opraisetheroof.org. I'm on the board there.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: And I do that because I love these guys. I
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: think they're doing great things. God bless you. You're great.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: The best audience anywhere. Monday is Memorial Day. Our team
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: is going to have the day off on Memorial Day,
