- 0:00Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome to Vince on a Tuesday. I hope you
- 0:02Speaker 1: had a mighty Memorial Day weekend. It's so great to
- 0:04Speaker 1: be with you again today, the best audience anywhere. We
- 0:08Speaker 1: have a big show ahead. I just got a very
- 0:11Speaker 1: important briefing from a senior administration official on how the
- 0:15Speaker 1: Iran deal is shaping up, what the United States is
- 0:19Speaker 1: prepared to do, and what the United States will never do.
- 0:21Speaker 1: The hint on that one is we will never forfeit
- 0:24Speaker 1: our security at any point. during this negotiation. I've got
- 0:28Speaker 1: some good insider information for you coming up on this
- 0:32Speaker 1: edition of Vince. Thanks for being here for the show.
- 0:35Speaker 1: And again, I do really hope you had a great weekend.
- 0:37Speaker 1: It was very restful here, although it was super rainy,
- 0:40Speaker 1: which really put a damper on our ability to go
- 0:43Speaker 1: to our local pool and to also do some gardening,
- 0:45Speaker 1: which we wanted to do this weekend, which is raining
- 0:47Speaker 1: all weekend long. So I've got my to-do list is
- 0:50Speaker 1: a little bit longer this week. I've got things to
- 0:52Speaker 1: get to as soon as it gets a little more sunny.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Once I get there, though, I'll benefit from the fact
- 0:57Speaker 1: that we have a pocket hose ballistic. Let me tell
- 0:59Speaker 1: you about the great sponsor that we start off today
- 1:01Speaker 1: on the program. Pocket hose ballistic. They're great. They're the
- 1:06Speaker 1: world's number one expanding garden hose. They have a great product.
- 1:09Speaker 1: It's called, again, the Pocket Hose Ballistic. And we used
- 1:11Speaker 1: to have replaced the garden hose every year because it
- 1:13Speaker 1: would kink, tangle, burst. But the Pocket Hose Ballistic, that's
- 1:16Speaker 1: the upgrade we've been looking for right here in the
- 1:19Speaker 1: Colonet's household. It's the toughest pocket hose ever built, reinforced
- 1:23Speaker 1: with a liquid crystal polymer used in bulletproof vests. Now,
- 1:27Speaker 1: we use the hose. We don't baby it. We drag
- 1:30Speaker 1: it across the driveway, yank it around the tight corners
- 1:32Speaker 1: of the house, leave it out in the sun sometimes.
- 1:34Speaker 1: The pocket hose ballistic really handles it all. Plus it
- 1:37Speaker 1: comes with the pocket pivot for total freedom of movement
- 1:39Speaker 1: right there at the spigot. Full 360 degree rotation. I move,
- 1:44Speaker 1: it follows, the water flows. And now for a limited time,
- 1:47Speaker 1: when you purchase a new pocket hose ballistic, you get
- 1:50Speaker 1: a free 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a free
- 1:55Speaker 1: thumb drive nozzle. Just text Vince to 64000. That's Vince.
- 1:59Speaker 1: to 64,000 for your two free gifts with purchase. Text
- 2:03Speaker 1: Vince to 64,000. Message and data rates may apply. Okay, everybody,
- 2:15Speaker 1: let's talk through some of the details of what we're
- 2:19Speaker 1: learning right now about an emerging Iran deal. All right,
- 2:23Speaker 1: so we'll take a close look kind of where things
- 2:26Speaker 1: are headed right now. based on what I've been hearing
- 2:28Speaker 1: this weekend. It's kind of fascinating. Now, you will, of course,
- 2:32Speaker 1: those of you who've been checking in on the news
- 2:34Speaker 1: a little bit, you will know that in the midst
- 2:37Speaker 1: of negotiating with these maniacs, we're also blowing them up.
- 2:40Speaker 1: So it's a very complicated business, very complicated business. Here
- 2:45Speaker 1: is the reporting this morning from Fox News. Take a look.
- 2:49Speaker 1: The United States military carried out Self-defense strikes in southern
- 2:54Speaker 1: Iran on Monday targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats
- 2:59Speaker 1: in the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah, because they're trying to
- 3:02Speaker 1: drop mines. CENTCOM says the strikes were launched after Iranian
- 3:05Speaker 1: forces were spotted laying mines in the Strait and a
- 3:08Speaker 1: missile site that had targeted U.S. warplanes during an already
- 3:12Speaker 1: fragile ceasefire in the region. And they've got, you know,
- 3:15Speaker 1: little helpful photos of the fact that we're, you know,
- 3:19Speaker 1: attacking these idiots. and the stuff that we're blowing up.
- 3:23Speaker 1: So that's great. Thank you to CENTCOM for blowing up
- 3:25Speaker 1: the bad guys. But that's in the midst of these
- 3:27Speaker 1: negotiations because yesterday there was apparently some very intense negotiations
- 3:32Speaker 1: going on in Qatar. The Iranian delegation was there and
- 3:38Speaker 1: trying to hammer out some of the details of what
- 3:40Speaker 1: kind of deal they might reach with the United States
- 3:43Speaker 1: of America. And that's where my conversation this weekend came in.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I was one of, you will see, across the internet.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I'm not going to disclose anybody who was there who
- 3:53Speaker 1: doesn't want to disclose that they were there, but there
- 3:55Speaker 1: are lots of people that were there. These are a
- 3:58Speaker 1: lot of conservative media figures you'd probably be aware of.
- 4:02Speaker 1: People are kind of in the business that I'm in.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Got a briefing from a senior administration official, many of
- 4:07Speaker 1: whom shared some of the summaries of what we heard.
- 4:11Speaker 1: And I would say that I left this call very,
- 4:15Speaker 1: very encouraged. Very, very encouraged. about where things are headed,
- 4:20Speaker 1: how a deal would be structured, and how we're not
- 4:23Speaker 1: going to in any way have something like Obama had.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Remember the pallets of cash and just letting Iran get
- 4:29Speaker 1: away with nuclear enrichment? None of that is going to
- 4:33Speaker 1: happen with the Trump administration and this team. None. So
- 4:36Speaker 1: don't for a moment. Let me chat. Let me just
- 4:37Speaker 1: warn you right now. If you see anybody suggesting that
- 4:41Speaker 1: President Trump is engaged in a sellout of the American people,
- 4:44Speaker 1: that we're going to allow a nuclear Iran to continue,
- 4:47Speaker 1: this is worse than the Obama deal, that's disinformation. They're
- 4:51Speaker 1: lying to you. Do not fall for it. Do not
- 4:55Speaker 1: fall for it. So let me, if I could, I'll
- 4:57Speaker 1: just take you through some of the top lines here
- 4:59Speaker 1: of what we have from the administration, what they're working on.
- 5:03Speaker 1: And again, this sourcing is impeccable. I'm not in any
- 5:06Speaker 1: way doubtful of what they're up to. here's the top line.
- 5:11Speaker 1: No dust, no dollars. No dust, no dollars. Now, I
- 5:16Speaker 1: think you can basically suss out what that means. Other calls,
- 5:19Speaker 1: I know that they were using the phrase no dust,
- 5:21Speaker 1: no deal. But fundamentally, what they want is all of
- 5:25Speaker 1: the enriched nuclear material turned over and removed from the
- 5:32Speaker 1: Iranian borders.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Done. Out.
- 5:35Speaker 1: And if they do that, that is a predicate to
- 5:38Speaker 1: get some, not all, some sanctions relief. Because what kind
- 5:44Speaker 1: of leverage do we have over the Iranians right now? Well,
- 5:46Speaker 1: we have Operation Economic Fury. We have them in a
- 5:49Speaker 1: complete headlock economically. And if you want any of that
- 5:53Speaker 1: pressure to even be slightly relieved, you will start doing
- 5:56Speaker 1: things that the president of the United States demands here
- 5:59Speaker 1: in order to ensure a long-term national security. So no dust,
- 6:04Speaker 1: no dollars. Iran will not get access to a single
- 6:07Speaker 1: dime unless they actually produce results. Now, we do not
- 6:13Speaker 1: have a memorandum of understanding signed yet. There was some
- 6:17Speaker 1: conversation over the weekend that it could happen today. It's
- 6:20Speaker 1: about to happen. It's very imminent. And the message that
- 6:22Speaker 1: I'm hearing is it's not happening. It didn't happen yesterday,
- 6:25Speaker 1: of course. It didn't happen Sunday when I got briefed
- 6:29Speaker 1: on this subject. And it's unlikely to happen today. These
- 6:32Speaker 1: things move slowly, and that's for a reason. The Iranians
- 6:38Speaker 1: are keeping their gay, deformed Supreme Leader as far away
- 6:43Speaker 1: from American and Israeli detection as they think they can
- 6:46Speaker 1: possibly keep him. They're trying to hide him. Now, my
- 6:50Speaker 1: guess is, I'm just, this is a wild guess. We
- 6:53Speaker 1: know exactly where this gay, deformed Supreme Leader is. We
- 6:55Speaker 1: know where he's at, but it doesn't really matter in
- 6:58Speaker 1: the end. Fundamentally, It takes a while in terms of
- 7:02Speaker 1: our communications to get to him. And so there's a
- 7:06Speaker 1: four to five day lag time on even changing very
- 7:10Speaker 1: subtle language, little bits of language in an emerging deal.
- 7:15Speaker 1: That's actually what's going on. This is the challenge here.
- 7:19Speaker 1: And so the president of the United States has been
- 7:22Speaker 1: very patient here through this very slow, almost like messenger
- 7:26Speaker 1: pigeon-like process to get a deal set up. Uh, but
- 7:30Speaker 1: he's doing it because he really wants to end this
- 7:32Speaker 1: conflict in a way that benefits the United States of America,
- 7:35Speaker 1: gets rid of the nukes in Iran, reopens the global economy,
- 7:39Speaker 1: brings oil prices down very rapidly. These are the things
- 7:43Speaker 1: that they're focused on. And, um, so he's right now,
- 7:47Speaker 1: they're just waiting for responses here from the Iranians. And
- 7:50Speaker 1: it does, it does take a while. It does take
- 7:52Speaker 1: a while. Um, So the Trump administration does believe that
- 7:56Speaker 1: they are days away from a memorandum of understanding with
- 7:59Speaker 1: the regime. Here's how it would work. If we get
- 8:02Speaker 1: a memorandum of understanding, the second that occurs, the Iranians
- 8:08Speaker 1: pull away from interfering in any way with the Strait
- 8:10Speaker 1: of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is immediately open upon
- 8:14Speaker 1: the signing of the MOU. From there, it begins another
- 8:19Speaker 1: 30 days or so of negotiation about how exactly the
- 8:23Speaker 1: to remove all of the nuclear dust to get rid
- 8:27Speaker 1: of it. You got to figure out the detailed mechanisms
- 8:30Speaker 1: by which they would give up that highly enriched stockpile
- 8:32Speaker 1: of nuclear dust. And they would negotiate over a certain
- 8:36Speaker 1: period of time, they say, probably around 30 days, 30 days.
- 8:41Speaker 1: And then at the conclusion of that, if they can reach,
- 8:44Speaker 1: if they can stick the landing on that phase two,
- 8:46Speaker 1: where they negotiate how this is all removed and we
- 8:49Speaker 1: start getting it out and we want to sign a
- 8:51Speaker 1: real deal At that moment where they signed a grand deal,
- 8:55Speaker 1: then you get a very senior level administration official to
- 8:59Speaker 1: be present for a very public signing ceremony. Now, theoretically,
- 9:04Speaker 1: that could be the president of the United States, but
- 9:06Speaker 1: we don't know the answer to that just yet. It
- 9:09Speaker 1: could be the president. And I'd venture a guess that
- 9:12Speaker 1: the president wants to sign a deal like that, especially
- 9:14Speaker 1: if he can resolve a problem that's been enduring for
- 9:17Speaker 1: over 47 years now. So if he can do that,
- 9:20Speaker 1: he'll want to. But again, there's a lot of moving
- 9:22Speaker 1: parts here, but this is how this thing is ramping up. Now,
- 9:27Speaker 1: they say that 95% of the deal is done with Iran, 95%.
- 9:31Speaker 1: But quote, literally changing words requires occasionally days of deliberation
- 9:37Speaker 1: within their system. We're mostly there. We feel like we've
- 9:41Speaker 1: got a commitment. These are quotes I'm reading to you now. Quote,
- 9:43Speaker 1: we're mostly there. We feel like we've got a commitment
- 9:45Speaker 1: on the enriched stockpile. We feel like we've got a
- 9:48Speaker 1: commitment on the Strait of Hormuz. And we're haggling a
- 9:51Speaker 1: little bit over some of the language. This deal would
- 9:56Speaker 1: open the Strait and it would end Iran's long-term nuclear ambitions.
- 10:00Speaker 1: So step one is that they open the straits. The
- 10:03Speaker 1: United States lifts the blockade. That gives the world economy
- 10:06Speaker 1: some breathing room. And they, Iran, commits to giving up
- 10:10Speaker 1: their highly enriched material. The strait opens up the minute
- 10:13Speaker 1: we sign the MOU. Step two? Then you figure out
- 10:17Speaker 1: the mechanism, the detailed mechanism by which they give up
- 10:20Speaker 1: the highly enriched stockpile. You negotiate that over a certain
- 10:22Speaker 1: period of time, probably 30 days. Now, how do the
- 10:26Speaker 1: sanctions work? Well, right now, the United States and a
- 10:28Speaker 1: bunch of other countries have very punishing sanctions on Iran.
- 10:35Speaker 1: And one of the things, if I just take you
- 10:37Speaker 1: through history, the way this has worked is when President
- 10:39Speaker 1: Trump was in office the first time, Trump 45, He
- 10:42Speaker 1: imposed all sorts of meaningful sanctions and restrictions on the Iranians.
- 10:47Speaker 1: The problem is when Biden came into office, his team
- 10:52Speaker 1: allowed Iran to evade the sanctions just in an out-of-control way.
- 10:56Speaker 1: So Iran really was not being held to any sort
- 11:00Speaker 1: of real punishing standard by Biden's team, who allowed them
- 11:04Speaker 1: to export all sorts of oil and get away with
- 11:06Speaker 1: it and not have those sanctions truly enforced. So now
- 11:10Speaker 1: that President Trump is back in office, the sanctions are
- 11:12Speaker 1: back on and they're being enforced entirely. And in fact,
- 11:16Speaker 1: the blockade itself, the American-led blockade allowed the Trump administration
- 11:22Speaker 1: to accelerate the economic damage that it wants to do
- 11:25Speaker 1: to Iran, the punitive damage that we are doing to
- 11:28Speaker 1: Iran in order to bring them to heel at levels
- 11:31Speaker 1: that we would not have been able to do without
- 11:33Speaker 1: the blockade. So the blockade has been an immense value
- 11:37Speaker 1: to accelerating the the sanctions against the Iranians, which is
- 11:41Speaker 1: really great. And so even if everything was lifted today,
- 11:45Speaker 1: meaning even if we got rid of the blockade today,
- 11:47Speaker 1: even if we pulled up stakes today in Iran, Iran's
- 11:51Speaker 1: entire both military and economic enterprise has been set back decades.
- 11:57Speaker 1: The reality, of course, is we have sunk the Iranian Navy.
- 12:00Speaker 1: What's left are these little annoying boats that are trying
- 12:03Speaker 1: to drop mines, and we keep blowing them up whenever
- 12:05Speaker 1: they do that. The Iranian Air Force is no more.
- 12:09Speaker 1: They've just been destroyed. The Iranian missile stockpiles have been
- 12:14Speaker 1: obliterated to such an extent that their ballistic missile program,
- 12:18Speaker 1: their production capacity does not serve a meaningful threat anymore
- 12:24Speaker 1: in terms of their ability to rapidly produce all of
- 12:27Speaker 1: these weapons. There was a period where they were easily
- 12:30Speaker 1: producing hundreds of weapons a month, a week, That's not
- 12:35Speaker 1: the case anymore. Their industrial base has been destroyed. They
- 12:39Speaker 1: were north of 100 or so, I believe it was
- 12:44Speaker 1: a week before this thing started. Now it's closer to
- 12:48Speaker 1: zero than it is to even five, senior administration official
- 12:52Speaker 1: tells us. So their ballistic missile shield, remember what predicated
- 12:56Speaker 1: us going in there in the first place that they
- 12:57Speaker 1: were developing all these ballistic missiles? The whole thing's been destroyed.
- 13:01Speaker 1: So they've been set back in that way, meaningfully. And
- 13:04Speaker 1: then economically, they've been set very, very far back. And
- 13:07Speaker 1: so again, even if we pulled up stakes today, Iran
- 13:10Speaker 1: is going to be limping into the future. And the
- 13:13Speaker 1: nuclear threat has been severely mitigated by our actions already.
- 13:18Speaker 1: The military threat of Iran has been severely mitigated by
- 13:22Speaker 1: this administration's actions already. And that's without a long-term deal.
- 13:27Speaker 1: So imagine if we actually got a deal what that
- 13:29Speaker 1: would mean. Now, how do sanctions work here? How do
- 13:32Speaker 1: we handle this? Well, the sanctions relief would be on
- 13:34Speaker 1: what they call a dial. You're familiar with a dial,
- 13:37Speaker 1: where you turn it based on how much punishment, how
- 13:40Speaker 1: much pain you want the Iranian regime to have to endure.
- 13:44Speaker 1: And so if they behave well, if they behave well,
- 13:48Speaker 1: we begin to dial back the sanctions. So if they
- 13:51Speaker 1: deliver their stockpile of enriched uranium, and by the way,
- 13:54Speaker 1: that has to happen first. We don't give sanctions relief
- 13:57Speaker 1: until they actually deliver. So once they hand over the
- 14:00Speaker 1: enriched uranium, the sanctions begin to go down. They get
- 14:04Speaker 1: some sanctions relief. If they play ball with getting rid
- 14:09Speaker 1: of their long-term nuclear enrichment in a verifiable way that
- 14:13Speaker 1: we can ensure that they're not developing any nuclear material,
- 14:17Speaker 1: then the sanction relief comes in. That's how the dial
- 14:20Speaker 1: is adjusted. Now, if they begin to violate the terms
- 14:24Speaker 1: of any of this, if their behavior ends up being poor,
- 14:28Speaker 1: if they, you know, whatever, if we find out that
- 14:31Speaker 1: they didn't turn over all the nuclear material, or if
- 14:33Speaker 1: we find out that they are trying to enrich uranium,
- 14:35Speaker 1: then we can dial it all back up again. So
- 14:38Speaker 1: there's a punishment mechanism and there's an incentive mechanism built
- 14:43Speaker 1: in to a deal like this. Relief will be phased
- 14:46Speaker 1: in when Iran actually delivers. And here's the key element. Again,
- 14:50Speaker 1: on the idea that this is, oh, this could be
- 14:52Speaker 1: like an Obama deal. No chance. The Obama deal allowed
- 14:56Speaker 1: enrichment to continue. That is not happening here. No enrichment whatsoever.
- 15:02Speaker 1: And Obama delivered truly billions of dollars in cash, stacked
- 15:07Speaker 1: on pallets, dropped into Iran. No pallets of cash, period. Quote,
- 15:13Speaker 1: no pallets of cash, period. We're not giving the Iranians anything.
- 15:18Speaker 1: a dollar. We're giving them sanctions relief if they behave.
- 15:24Speaker 1: So what's changed? Why is it that we've had a
- 15:26Speaker 1: breakthrough over the course of the past few weeks? Well,
- 15:30Speaker 1: a lot of this seems to be just Operation Economic
- 15:34Speaker 1: Fury and all of the punitive impacts that our military
- 15:40Speaker 1: has had on their system. It's just clear to me.
- 15:43Speaker 1: that our leverage is working, that President Trump's leverage is working.
- 15:48Speaker 1: And here's what's changed about the Iranian side of the conversation.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Senior administration official telling us that the Iranians are, quote,
- 15:56Speaker 1: now clearly talking details about getting rid of the enriched
- 15:59Speaker 1: stockpile in a way that they never have before, never.
- 16:04Speaker 1: And the second significant change that they've detected over the
- 16:07Speaker 1: last few weeks is they are now showing willingness to
- 16:10Speaker 1: stop enrichment. whether that would be forever or for some
- 16:13Speaker 1: sort of time-limited duration, say 20 years or something. I'm
- 16:18Speaker 1: not giving a quote here. I'm just summarizing it from
- 16:20Speaker 1: my own head. I've seen some of the headlines to
- 16:21Speaker 1: that effect. In other words, they're negotiating some of these details,
- 16:25Speaker 1: and maybe that's in the 5%, but they want to
- 16:27Speaker 1: stop uranium enrichment for as long as they can in
- 16:30Speaker 1: an enduring way. And they're trying to figure out those
- 16:33Speaker 1: details now. But it's important to remember, under the Obama-Iran deal,
- 16:37Speaker 1: The Iranians were still permitted to enrich uranium, which is crazy.
- 16:41Speaker 1: And of course, they always use that to pursue a
- 16:42Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. They have, quote, now acknowledged that is something
- 16:47Speaker 1: they're going to have to give on. The fact that
- 16:50Speaker 1: they're even willing to say that is a significant change
- 16:54Speaker 1: from where they were two months ago. Two months ago.
- 16:59Speaker 1: So that's a huge amount of change here. A huge
- 17:03Speaker 1: amount of change just over the course of these last
- 17:05Speaker 1: two months. So that's the trick here. The other piece
- 17:10Speaker 1: is these Middle Eastern countries that we're working with. We're
- 17:12Speaker 1: working with a lot of these Arab countries to try
- 17:16Speaker 1: and get their support here. And they are being supportive, apparently.
- 17:19Speaker 1: They're helping to provide the stage for these negotiations. They're
- 17:25Speaker 1: encouraging Iran to get to the table to get to
- 17:27Speaker 1: a deal. They don't want a war in the Middle East.
- 17:30Speaker 1: They want things to settle down. A lot of these
- 17:32Speaker 1: Arab countries are looking to develop better relationships with the
- 17:35Speaker 1: United States. President Trump has been a total sea change
- 17:40Speaker 1: of the United States and our relationships in the Middle East,
- 17:44Speaker 1: trying to integrate the global oil economy so that we
- 17:46Speaker 1: can bring costs down for everyone. Because if we can
- 17:49Speaker 1: have abundant energy available to the planet, and that includes,
- 17:53Speaker 1: of course, the United States, then we can bring costs
- 17:57Speaker 1: down immensely. And then we can increase productivity immensely. in
- 18:01Speaker 1: a huge way. So the president is working on all
- 18:04Speaker 1: of those things. You've seen that throughout his administrations. But
- 18:07Speaker 1: here's what's interesting. What they want to do is try
- 18:13Speaker 1: and get as many of these countries as possible to
- 18:15Speaker 1: join the Abraham Accords. Now you remember the Abraham Accords.
- 18:18Speaker 1: For years, Washington, D.C. was under this delusion that we
- 18:22Speaker 1: could get some sort of grand bargain where all of
- 18:24Speaker 1: the Arab countries in the Middle East would recognize Israel
- 18:28Speaker 1: in some sort of gigantic agreement, gigantic pact. That just
- 18:32Speaker 1: was never going to be the case. There's just too
- 18:34Speaker 1: many competing interests in the Middle East, too much hate
- 18:36Speaker 1: for Israel, too much like, you know, just impossible to
- 18:41Speaker 1: try and get all these groups together. So the administration
- 18:44Speaker 1: in the first round decided, why don't we do this
- 18:46Speaker 1: one by one? We'll have separate bilateral acknowledgements of Israel's
- 18:50Speaker 1: existence and we'll begin to create warmer relationships between each
- 18:54Speaker 1: of these countries. So the administration did that. They started
- 18:57Speaker 1: going country by country and having them establish what we
- 18:59Speaker 1: now know as the Abraham Accords, these direct relationships between
- 19:02Speaker 1: Israel and a single Arab country. And it's worked. Now,
- 19:07Speaker 1: is this piece a little tenuous? Yeah, sure. Is there
- 19:10Speaker 1: still contempt for Israel directed by a bunch of these countries? Yeah, definitely.
- 19:14Speaker 1: But the reality is that it's a warmer relationship than
- 19:17Speaker 1: it's ever been thanks to the efforts that the Trump
- 19:19Speaker 1: administration has undertaken. And now what he's trying to do
- 19:23Speaker 1: is establish a grand Abraham Accords where he can bring
- 19:26Speaker 1: as many, if not all of these countries in as possible.
- 19:30Speaker 1: In fact, the president of the United States was asking
- 19:32Speaker 1: for that this weekend on Truth Social. And here's what
- 19:36Speaker 1: we're hearing from our senior administration source. They say that
- 19:39Speaker 1: these Arab countries, which have had tensions between them at
- 19:43Speaker 1: these Arab countries, between them as well, are all coming together.
- 19:48Speaker 1: It would be very good for the global economy. if
- 19:50Speaker 1: our closest allies in that region controlled the energy under
- 19:54Speaker 1: American influence. Now, most of these countries have said they
- 20:00Speaker 1: are under a pathway right now to join the Abraham
- 20:02Speaker 1: Accords if we can secure the deal with Iran. So
- 20:06Speaker 1: as a condition of, if we get the deal with Iran,
- 20:08Speaker 1: a lot of these countries are going to be willing
- 20:09Speaker 1: to jump on board with the Abraham Accords. Israelis and
- 20:13Speaker 1: Arabs will work together to patrol that region of the world,
- 20:17Speaker 1: and that would free the United States from having to
- 20:21Speaker 1: do it. You got that? Fascinating? Fascinating. So what you
- 20:28Speaker 1: have on, who is this Vrash17? Vince, please move on. That's,
- 20:33Speaker 1: what does he say? Move on if the news is
- 20:34Speaker 1: going to happen, you're wasting time and move this.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Fuck.
- 20:36Speaker 1: Hey, Rash, get the fuck out. Move on. I'm telling
- 20:40Speaker 1: you exactly what we're hearing so you know what's going
- 20:43Speaker 1: to happen. So you can go. Rash can go. So
- 20:46Speaker 1: these Arab countries, if they establish this relationship with Israel
- 20:51Speaker 1: where they can work together and patrol that region of
- 20:55Speaker 1: the world together, and that's important if Israel is involved
- 20:57Speaker 1: because Israel is interested, of course, in its own threats
- 21:01Speaker 1: to its existence. It's an existential threat. If they can
- 21:04Speaker 1: work together, that's a huge deal. And that liberates the
- 21:08Speaker 1: United States from having to patrol that region of the world.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Massive.
- 21:11Speaker 1: And we can concentrate on all of our concerns here
- 21:13Speaker 1: in this hemisphere, which are immense. We've got a lot.
- 21:17Speaker 1: We've got a lot. Now, one thing I would pay
- 21:19Speaker 1: attention to is there's a lot of bullshit out there.
- 21:25Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who are lying to you
- 21:27Speaker 1: about what's coming. And certainly there's sides of this that
- 21:32Speaker 1: are claiming, oh, President Trump's going to be weak. He's
- 21:34Speaker 1: going to have the wool pulled over his eyes. That's
- 21:36Speaker 1: just total bullshit. Do not fall for that. The president
- 21:39Speaker 1: is very clear about what the goals are here. The
- 21:41Speaker 1: other side of it is the lies being told by
- 21:44Speaker 1: the IRGC. I want you to be on guard for
- 21:47Speaker 1: this particular thing. Within Iran, there are two different primary
- 21:51Speaker 1: factions involved. that we're concerned about. Now, there's a bunch
- 21:54Speaker 1: of disparate factions, but two ideologically primary factions. There's kind
- 21:59Speaker 1: of the pragmatic, relatively moderate people within the regime who
- 22:05Speaker 1: this administration, the Trump administration, believes are, for the first
- 22:07Speaker 1: time in a very long time, ascendant. We killed a
- 22:10Speaker 1: lot of radicals at the top, but these guys are ascendant.
- 22:14Speaker 1: That's really key for the long-term stability of this relationship
- 22:18Speaker 1: and for Iran, if the pragmatic side of this can dominate. Now,
- 22:22Speaker 1: the IRGC side, that's the extremist side. And so what
- 22:27Speaker 1: we're seeing with the IRGC is these guys are telling
- 22:31Speaker 1: the American news media lies about the deal. And then
- 22:35Speaker 1: the American news media is carrying their water. So I'll
- 22:38Speaker 1: give you an example of how this happened last week.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Reuters last week. they had a report that Iran said
- 22:46Speaker 1: there's no circumstance that they're giving up their enriched uranium,
- 22:49Speaker 1: that their red line, remember that? We talked about this
- 22:51Speaker 1: last week. There's no circumstance they're giving up their enriched uranium. Now,
- 22:56Speaker 1: I told you when that headline came out, I was like,
- 22:58Speaker 1: that's not going to work because that's President Trump's red line,
- 23:01Speaker 1: which is you give up your enriched uranium. What are
- 23:03Speaker 1: you talking about? You're not going to give it up.
- 23:04Speaker 1: That's our red line. You're talking about your red line.
- 23:08Speaker 1: It turns out that story was an IRGC planted story
- 23:12Speaker 1: with Reuters. There are forces within Iran who are trying
- 23:17Speaker 1: to scuttle this deal and trying to interfere in the
- 23:20Speaker 1: American foreign policy debate. So if you see headlines like this,
- 23:25Speaker 1: where some Iranian source is claiming some sort of delusional
- 23:29Speaker 1: red line that you know the president would never go for,
- 23:33Speaker 1: there's a very high probability that that is Iranian extremist
- 23:37Speaker 1: propaganda being pushed by the IRGC. So I want you
- 23:42Speaker 1: to be aware of that if you see headlines like that.
- 23:45Speaker 1: I've got some more to talk about with you coming up.
- 23:48Speaker 1: We've got some more details to work out. Also, a
- 23:51Speaker 1: threat to the White House this weekend. There was somebody
- 23:53Speaker 1: who opened fire once again on Secret Service, headed towards
- 23:56Speaker 1: the White House. I've got details on that. We've got
- 23:58Speaker 1: a lot more to get to. All ahead on this
- 24:00Speaker 1: edition of Vince. All right. Let me thank Bond Charge
- 24:04Speaker 1: for being a great, great sponsor of our program. The
- 24:06Speaker 1: Bond Charge Infrared Sauna Blanket Red Light Face Mask. Ever
- 24:09Speaker 1: since they sent them to us, I can't recommend them enough.
- 24:12Speaker 1: At first, turn to that sauna blanket. It's great. Man,
- 24:14Speaker 1: how nice it is to have a sauna in the house.
- 24:17Speaker 1: It's crazy. To help with muscle recovery, detoxification. It's a
- 24:20Speaker 1: total game changer for me. It's very easy to use.
- 24:22Speaker 1: I can just wrap myself up, let the infrared heat
- 24:24Speaker 1: work its magic. It's created a real difference in how
- 24:26Speaker 1: I relax and rejuvenate and how I feel afterward. The
- 24:28Speaker 1: red light face mask, equally impressive. Now, I've been using
- 24:31Speaker 1: it to help improve my skin's texture and reduce inflammation.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And I've seen, my wife has, excuse me, my wife
- 24:37Speaker 1: uses the red light face mask. Allison does. She's been
- 24:39Speaker 1: using it to improve her skin's texture and reduce inflammation.
- 24:42Speaker 1: She's seen fantastic results. It's like having a mini spa
- 24:44Speaker 1: treatment right in our house. The cool thing, Allison uses
- 24:48Speaker 1: this thing because she'll charge it up and then it
- 24:50Speaker 1: stays charged forever. And then she puts it on each night.
- 24:52Speaker 1: It actually looks kind of cool. but she loves it. Now,

- 25:26Speaker 1: me see if there's any lasting elements here that I
- 25:29Speaker 1: can share with you, because again, we learned a lot
- 25:31Speaker 1: this weekend from senior administration officials on how this is
- 25:34Speaker 1: all going down. You did see people like Ted Cruz
- 25:40Speaker 1: and Lindsey Graham were kind of crapping on an emerging
- 25:45Speaker 1: deal here this weekend. The truth is I just don't
- 25:49Speaker 1: think that they know what they're talking about. They just
- 25:52Speaker 1: don't have access to the information. And maybe they've learned
- 25:56Speaker 1: more since then. I know Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz, on
- 25:58Speaker 1: his podcast, he seemed to be talking this weekend a
- 26:01Speaker 1: little bit more hopefully about the nature of the deal.
- 26:05Speaker 1: But I would caution all these guys, regardless of what
- 26:08Speaker 1: you think the right course of action is with Iran,
- 26:11Speaker 1: first of all, trust the president to handle this the
- 26:13Speaker 1: right way. The guy's as aggressive as anybody has ever
- 26:16Speaker 1: been on this issue. And the other is like, don't
- 26:19Speaker 1: crap on the deal in public before you even know
- 26:21Speaker 1: what it is. Stop the hip shots. It doesn't make
- 26:24Speaker 1: any sense. It doesn't make any sense. And part of
- 26:28Speaker 1: this is, I mean, let's be honest. Ted Cruz wants
- 26:30Speaker 1: to run for president in 2028. I don't know about
- 26:32Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham's like always off on his own
- 26:34Speaker 1: like crazy adventure. But Ted Cruz wants to run for
- 26:37Speaker 1: president in 2028. So he's looking for ways to distinguish
- 26:41Speaker 1: himself among Republicans right now to be like, I'm the
- 26:45Speaker 1: tougher one. Okay. How about instead of that posturing, if
- 26:49Speaker 1: you don't like how this deal works out, like You
- 26:51Speaker 1: can tell us once you see the actual terms. But
- 26:54Speaker 1: in the meantime, why don't you just trust the president
- 26:56Speaker 1: to do the job? How about that? That would be good.
- 26:59Speaker 1: So basically, settle down, son, is the point. And so
- 27:04Speaker 1: we'll see what happens here. But I feel very, very
- 27:08Speaker 1: good about the way this is going. Also, speaking of that,
- 27:12Speaker 1: here's Marco Rubio this weekend. I don't think anybody would
- 27:15Speaker 1: question Marco Rubio's sincerity on taking care of the Iranian threat,
- 27:18Speaker 1: resolving it. Here he is smacking down some of the
- 27:22Speaker 1: kind of like weak-kneed critics of the emerging Iran deal.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Cut one.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Watch.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Multiple political leaders, multiple presidents of the United States have
- 27:33Speaker 3: all said the same thing.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
- 27:35Speaker 3: The only one who's tried to do anything and has
- 27:37Speaker 3: actually done anything about it in a real way has
- 27:40Speaker 3: been President Trump. So his commitment to that principle that
- 27:43Speaker 3: they'll never have a nuclear weapon shouldn't be questioned by anybody.
- 27:46Speaker 3: And the idea that somehow this president, given everything he's
- 27:50Speaker 3: already proven he's willing to do, is going to somehow
- 27:52Speaker 3: agree to a deal that ultimately winds up putting Iran
- 27:55Speaker 3: in a stronger position when it comes to nuclear ambitions
- 27:57Speaker 3: is absurd. That's just not going to happen. But our
- 28:00Speaker 3: preference is to address this through a diplomatic means. And
- 28:03Speaker 3: that's what we're endeavoring to do here. I think we've
- 28:06Speaker 3: made some progress. I'm always cautious when I say that
- 28:09Speaker 3: because you can agree to things on paper, they actually
- 28:11Speaker 3: have to be implemented. You can agree to things in
- 28:14Speaker 3: writing and then you actually have to go out and
- 28:15Speaker 3: do it. And but but I do think perhaps there
- 28:19Speaker 3: is the possibility that over the next few hours, the
- 28:21Speaker 3: world will get some good news, at least with regards
- 28:23Speaker 3: to the Straits and with regards to a process that
- 28:27Speaker 3: can ultimately leave us where the president wants us to be.
- 28:32Speaker 3: And that is a world that no longer has.
- 28:33Speaker 1: To be in fear. Yeah. So basically, we're trying to
- 28:38Speaker 1: get rid of the nuke problem. Stop crapping on the deal.
- 28:40Speaker 1: We don't even know what it is. Secretary Rubio explains
- 28:43Speaker 1: very carefully now. As far as what was happening yesterday,
- 28:48Speaker 1: intense negotiations reportedly. Trey Yinks over at Fox says Iran's
- 28:53Speaker 1: Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Arigachi
- 28:58Speaker 1: arrived in Doha, that's Qatar, earlier today, that would have
- 29:01Speaker 1: been Monday, for talks on ongoing diplomatic efforts to end
- 29:04Speaker 1: the conflict. A source briefed on the visit told the
- 29:07Speaker 1: United States there are very intense talks on the details
- 29:10Speaker 1: of an agreement to end the regional conflict. They've been
- 29:12Speaker 1: ongoing talks. since yesterday morning, Monday morning, they're continuing as
- 29:18Speaker 1: of yesterday evening. The ongoing negotiations between Qatari mediators and
- 29:22Speaker 1: the Iranian delegation are in coordination with the United States.
- 29:25Speaker 1: So there is a lot of activity taking place right now,
- 29:31Speaker 1: right now at this very time. And we'll keep our
- 29:35Speaker 1: eyes on that. All right. There's a lot more to
- 29:38Speaker 1: get to here on the program, though. In a to
- 29:41Speaker 1: the emerging Iran deal, which I'm very hopeful for. Say
- 29:43Speaker 1: your prayers that this thing works out. We've got to
- 29:45Speaker 1: get rid of the crazy nuclear Iran. The Persian people
- 29:47Speaker 1: will really benefit if it works out in the end,
- 29:50Speaker 1: and so will we in the end. You know, the
- 29:52Speaker 1: concerns about the American economy are real. We need to
- 29:54Speaker 1: get gas prices down. And if we can get this deal,
- 29:57Speaker 1: if we can get this thing, You're going to see very,
- 30:00Speaker 1: very rapid movement ahead of the midterms, especially, which it's
- 30:03Speaker 1: going to be great. It's going to be wonderful. So
- 30:05Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to that.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Okay.
- 30:09Speaker 1: A lot more to talk about with you. Let's see here.
- 30:13Speaker 1: It was Memorial Day yesterday. Did you guys see the
- 30:16Speaker 1: Democrats attacking President Trump? They used Memorial Day to attack
- 30:20Speaker 1: President Trump. You see this? They never miss a chance
- 30:24Speaker 1: to attack President Trump. The Trump derangement syndrome is psychotic.
- 30:28Speaker 1: They have deleted the post in which they attacked the president,
- 30:33Speaker 1: but it was, in fact, it was super gross. Take
- 30:38Speaker 1: a look at this. Here's what they did. Yesterday, they
- 30:43Speaker 1: posted to X, today we honor the American heroes who
- 30:47Speaker 1: made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump's war with Iran. And
- 30:52Speaker 1: then they put up a graphic, remembering the Americans who
- 30:55Speaker 1: have died in Trump's war with Iran. This is the DNC,
- 30:59Speaker 1: the Democrat National Committee, the political operation that runs the
- 31:02Speaker 1: Democrat Party. Dancing on the graves of fallen heroes and
- 31:11Speaker 1: trying to use their deaths as a means to attack
- 31:15Speaker 1: the president of the United States. This is utterly disgraceful.
- 31:22Speaker 1: I mean, there really is no bottom line. to their
- 31:28Speaker 1: disgraceful behavior. There really is no, to the point that
- 31:31Speaker 1: they keep on encouraging people who take up arms against
- 31:34Speaker 1: the president of the United States and attempt to assassinate
- 31:36Speaker 1: him over and over and over again by spreading conspiracy
- 31:40Speaker 1: theories about the president. And for them to take Americans
- 31:45Speaker 1: fallen and then to use their deaths as a weapon
- 31:50Speaker 1: against the president of the United States, it really just
- 31:52Speaker 1: does not get more disgraceful than that. They're disgusting. They're
- 31:57Speaker 1: I don't know who told them like, Hey, this is a,
- 31:59Speaker 1: not just a terrible look. This is demonic. Somebody decided
- 32:03Speaker 1: to delete it. They, that post, I just showed you
- 32:05Speaker 1: a screen grab. It was, it was captured by a
- 32:08Speaker 1: guy called Brent share editor in chief over the daily wire.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Good guy. And he, he got ahold of that. And
- 32:16Speaker 1: then they reposted like a much more like anodyne, like,
- 32:21Speaker 1: like standard celebrating, commemorating, commemorating Memorial day. post, this Memorial Day,
- 32:27Speaker 1: we remember and honor those who have made the ultimate
- 32:29Speaker 1: sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms. They
- 32:33Speaker 1: removed everything. But what this is, is like the most
- 32:37Speaker 1: ham-fisted cover up imaginable. They have not apologized. They haven't
- 32:42Speaker 1: released any statement whatsoever that we screwed up. We fired
- 32:44Speaker 1: the social media person who did this. This is disgraceful behavior. Nothing,
- 32:50Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. But while the rest of us were thinking,
- 32:55Speaker 1: and I think that's true of this audience for sure,
- 32:58Speaker 1: we were all kind of contemplating the fall on this
- 33:01Speaker 1: weekend because that's what you're supposed to do on Memorial Day,
- 33:03Speaker 1: celebrating our great American freedoms, hard-fought American freedoms. The Democrats
- 33:09Speaker 1: were dancing on the graves of the dead in order
- 33:11Speaker 1: to try and hurt the president of the United States.
- 33:13Speaker 1: And they're disgusting. They're totally disgusting. Meanwhile, there was a
- 33:17Speaker 1: guy who tried to open fire outside the White House
- 33:19Speaker 1: this weekend. before he was gunned down by the United
- 33:22Speaker 1: States Secret Service. I've got details on that in just
- 33:25Speaker 1: a moment. We've got a lot more to discuss coming

- 34:45Speaker 1: Rumble's so great. We can interact with it. I love
- 34:48Speaker 1: that we can hang out together, including that guy I
- 34:50Speaker 1: trebucheted earlier. I don't know where he is, but you
- 34:53Speaker 1: are welcome to come back. But I just figured I'd
- 34:56Speaker 1: give you a tight little update on everything I'm hearing
- 34:59Speaker 1: behind the scenes because, you know, that's kind of the
- 35:01Speaker 1: whole point. We all get together so we can talk
- 35:03Speaker 1: about what's coming next. But Rumble Wallet is awesome. Rumble
- 35:07Speaker 1: Wallet is a really great thing. So in addition to
- 35:08Speaker 1: Rumble being great for your speech, Rumble Wallet is great
- 35:12Speaker 1: for your money. And here's why. Think about crypto. You
- 35:16Speaker 1: know about crypto? Crypto was actually created so you could
- 35:18Speaker 1: control your own money. Because like, unfortunately in our system,
- 35:23Speaker 1: lots of people have control over your money, apparently, and
- 35:25Speaker 1: it's not you. Crypto allows you to control your own money.
- 35:28Speaker 1: And after the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin was designed as
- 35:31Speaker 1: an alternative to the bank. So instead of a bank
- 35:33Speaker 1: holding your money, delaying transfers, limiting access, you're actually in control. Now,
- 35:37Speaker 1: if you've ever had to wait for a transfer to clear,
- 35:39Speaker 1: you're like, this is my money. Why am I waiting
- 35:40Speaker 1: for this? you have felt this problem. Now, fast forward
- 35:44Speaker 1: to today. Everybody's heard about crypto, but getting started can
- 35:46Speaker 1: still feel complicated. Well, that's why you should use Rumble Wallet.
- 35:49Speaker 1: It takes all the complexity out, makes it simple. Choose
- 35:52Speaker 1: what you want. Bitcoin, dollar-backed stable coins, even digital gold,
- 35:55Speaker 1: backed by real gold. No complicated setup. You can be

- 36:29Speaker 1: Thank you to Rumble Wallet. Okay. So this weekend, we
- 36:34Speaker 1: had another attack on the White House. I'm beginning to think, guys,
- 36:38Speaker 1: if you're a Secret Service agent who's assigned to work
- 36:42Speaker 1: the perimeter of the White House, there's a couple of
- 36:45Speaker 1: gates around the White House. And depending on the kind
- 36:49Speaker 1: of business that you're going to the White House for,
- 36:51Speaker 1: you enter through a different gate. So in other words,
- 36:53Speaker 1: somebody at the White House will tell you, come in
- 36:55Speaker 1: on that street's gate or Pennsylvania Avenue or whatever. The
- 36:59Speaker 1: point is, there's a couple of access points. And Secret
- 37:03Speaker 1: service agents are assigned to protect all of them. They
- 37:06Speaker 1: process people in. They ask you, you know, where are
- 37:08Speaker 1: you going? What's your business? That kind of stuff. And
- 37:12Speaker 1: so we've got agents there. We have armed secret service
- 37:14Speaker 1: agents who are protecting the outer perimeter of the White House.
- 37:17Speaker 1: But it doesn't feel like we keep getting, at least
- 37:20Speaker 1: every year, we're getting stories of people who are either
- 37:23Speaker 1: trying to ram their cars into the gates of the
- 37:25Speaker 1: White House or pulling a firearm, opening fire on the
- 37:29Speaker 1: agents who are standing outside. And it makes me think that, like,
- 37:34Speaker 1: at this point, you have to realize if you're an
- 37:35Speaker 1: agent who's working security at the White House on the
- 37:37Speaker 1: outer perimeter, that there's a non-zero chance that you're going
- 37:41Speaker 1: to be engaged in a gunfight. Like, there's a meaningful
- 37:45Speaker 1: probability that that's going to happen, that somebody is going
- 37:47Speaker 1: to try and take shots. It's awful. It's so crazy.
- 37:51Speaker 1: And speaking of crazy, the guy who just opened fire—
- 37:55Speaker 1: This weekend has been gunned down by the Secret Service.
- 37:59Speaker 1: Here's the New York Post summary of what happened this weekend.
- 38:04Speaker 1: A gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ, okay, opened
- 38:08Speaker 1: fire on the White House checkpoint and was shot dead
- 38:11Speaker 1: by the Secret Service. A crazed gunman who believed that
- 38:15Speaker 1: he was Jesus pulled out a revolver and opened fire
- 38:18Speaker 1: outside the White House Saturday night before he was quickly
- 38:21Speaker 1: taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service,
- 38:24Speaker 1: sources said. Nasir Best, 21 years old, fired at a
- 38:29Speaker 1: checkpoint at about 6.10 p.m. Saturday after being seen pacing
- 38:36Speaker 1: in a strange manner up and down 17th Street Northwest,
- 38:40Speaker 1: sources told the Post. He only got off a few
- 38:43Speaker 1: shots before he was shot and killed and a hail
- 38:46Speaker 1: of bullets from federal officers. Now, at least one bystander
- 38:50Speaker 1: was hit and seriously wounded in the fuselage, the sources said.
- 38:55Speaker 1: There's Nasir Best, 21 years old. Looks like a prior
- 38:59Speaker 1: mugshot of the guy. He opened fire on a White
- 39:03Speaker 1: House checkpoint Saturday evening. While a motive for the attack
- 39:08Speaker 1: has not been confirmed, sources said Best is a mentally
- 39:10Speaker 1: troubled individual who's well known to the Secret Service. He
- 39:13Speaker 1: repeatedly loitered around various entry points and has violated a
- 39:18Speaker 1: previous court order to stay away from the White House.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Kash Patel posting on X this weekend. The FBI is
- 39:24Speaker 1: on the scene and supporting Secret Service responding to shots
- 39:26Speaker 1: fired near White House grounds. We will update the public.
- 39:30Speaker 1: as we're able. The sound of shots from the incident
- 39:32Speaker 1: terrified members of the press who were doing their normal
- 39:35Speaker 1: reporting at the White House, including one ABC reporter who
- 39:38Speaker 1: was seen diving for cover during a live stream.
- 39:43Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:44Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I'm going to show you some
- 39:48Speaker 1: of these reporters. And this is this will be a
- 39:51Speaker 1: quick run through of human reactions and whether or not
- 39:55Speaker 1: these guys have the wherewithal to pay attention to what's
- 39:57Speaker 1: going on in the world. In fact, at least one
- 39:59Speaker 1: of these reactions makes me question whether this reporter is
- 40:01Speaker 1: even capable of sussing out reality so that she can
- 40:05Speaker 1: convey it to the rest of us, because I think
- 40:07Speaker 1: that's the point of being a journalist. Let's go one
- 40:09Speaker 1: by one here. This is Selena Wang. She's from ABC News.
- 40:14Speaker 1: And I would say she probably had the most rapid
- 40:17Speaker 1: reaction to the shots being fired. Take a look. Cut three.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 40:21Speaker 2: President Trump has said a deal is close only for
- 40:24Speaker 2: the two sides to remain far apart.
- 40:28Speaker 1: She dives under the table. So she's aware these are gunshots,
- 40:37Speaker 1: or at least she's contemplating those could be gunshots. And
- 40:40Speaker 1: you would think that with the press just experienced, which
- 40:42Speaker 1: is the attack on the White House Correspondents Dinner, that
- 40:45Speaker 1: they would be even more sensitive to the fact that
- 40:48Speaker 1: shots were being fired. So, Selena Wang, how do we
- 40:50Speaker 1: score her reaction time here, Chad? Let's get a score.
- 40:54Speaker 1: I want to score. Like, we'll do it like sports scoring,
- 40:57Speaker 1: 1 through 10. How do we score her reaction time here?
- 41:00Speaker 1: And remember, I'm going to show you some other videos. So,
- 41:02Speaker 1: not everybody reacted as quickly as Selena did. Chat, what
- 41:05Speaker 1: do we want? One through 10. 10 being the best,
- 41:08Speaker 1: the most rapid reaction time, lightning quick reflexes. That's a nine,
- 41:13Speaker 1: that's a 10, six, eight, nine, seven, nine. All right,
- 41:17Speaker 1: so we're on the positive side of five. She's got,
- 41:20Speaker 1: some people say pretty slow. Cozy Sophie says pretty slow.
- 41:25Speaker 1: All right, tell you what, let's do eight. We're going
- 41:27Speaker 1: to settle up at eight. We'll give Selena Wang an eight.
- 41:30Speaker 1: So Selena gets an eight for her reaction time. Now
- 41:33Speaker 1: let's compare this. Let's go with Aaron Navarro. Here's CBS News.
- 41:37Speaker 1: And here's Aaron Navarro's reaction time. Again, filming a video
- 41:40Speaker 1: live during the shooting. Here he goes. Cut four. President
- 41:44Speaker 1: Trump promises the prices will go down, but his grip
- 41:46Speaker 1: on Republican support on Capitol Hill is weakening. Is weakening.
- 41:54Speaker 1: He had to finish the sentence. Here he is, adjusting
- 41:56Speaker 1: his tie, then diving under the table. I don't know
- 41:59Speaker 1: if the tie adjustment was important. Well, I think he
- 42:01Speaker 1: was looking for a microphone. That's in fairness. He was
- 42:03Speaker 1: trying to get the wire off. You see people running.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Secret Service coming out on the White House lawn, telling
- 42:12Speaker 1: people to clear the area.
- 42:13Speaker 2: Okay.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Okay. So how did Aaron do, everybody? How did Aaron do?
- 42:29Speaker 1: We've got some fours, a four and a half, a six,
- 42:31Speaker 1: a five. We got some ones in there. At least
- 42:35Speaker 1: he was aware. Yeah, I think he was reaching. Somebody
- 42:37Speaker 1: asked about if he was taking off the tie. I
- 42:39Speaker 1: think he was trying to find the microphone. But you
- 42:42Speaker 1: can see, as we watch this video again, he pulls
- 42:44Speaker 1: the microphone off of his. Let's see. Does he pull
- 42:47Speaker 1: the mic at all? He's looking for it. He can't
- 42:49Speaker 1: find it. It's on his jacket. He thought it might
- 42:51Speaker 1: have been on his tie. That's what that was. So
- 42:55Speaker 1: a four or a five. All right, let's give them
- 42:56Speaker 1: a five. I think a five is fair for Aaron.
- 42:58Speaker 1: So Selena Wang gets an eight. Aaron Navarro at CBS
- 43:01Speaker 1: gets a five. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you
- 43:04Speaker 1: to see this woman. This woman, this is interesting. We
- 43:07Speaker 1: got ABC, we have CBS, now we have NBC. We
- 43:09Speaker 1: have all the alphabet letter companies. NBC, this is Julie
- 43:13Speaker 1: Serkin in what is sure to become a meme video
- 43:16Speaker 1: from now on. Jolie Sarkin, cut five. Here she is, NBC,
- 43:20Speaker 1: reacting to the shooting in real time. I'm not even
- 43:24Speaker 1: certain she's aware a shooting took place. Watch. What is that?
- 43:34Speaker 1: It sounds like cars. What the hell was that? Let's see.
- 43:44Speaker 1: They were saying... I saw somebody say, she's got the
- 43:47Speaker 1: survival instincts of a newborn baby. She's... I'm afraid that
- 44:09Speaker 1: that woman would walk out into traffic and not realize
- 44:12Speaker 1: that cars were on the road. I, what is going
- 44:16Speaker 1: on here? What is that? She looks, I don't even
- 44:22Speaker 1: know if she's reaching the level of bewildered. She just
- 44:25Speaker 1: looks confused and maybe a little annoyed. Oh, I. All right, well, Um,
- 44:40Speaker 1: I'm going to have Selena Wang protect the house. Selena
- 44:42Speaker 1: Wang's got the reaction time. Julie Serkin. I don't know.
- 44:46Speaker 1: I don't know what we do with Julie. I don't,
- 44:50Speaker 1: what does she get? Ladies and gentlemen, negative 10. I didn't,
- 44:54Speaker 1: can we do negative numbers? Is that? All right. So, uh,
- 45:01Speaker 1: Selena Wang gets an eight. Aaron Navarro gets a five.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Julie Serkin gets negative 10 in today's roundup of reporter
- 45:08Speaker 1: reaction times. to a shooting outside the White House. That's unbelievable.
- 45:14Speaker 1: I'm still bewildered by it. I was thinking that, I
- 45:20Speaker 1: have an idea, if I can pitch this to Dan Bongino,
- 45:23Speaker 1: I think maybe he should do this. Can Dan Bongino
- 45:27Speaker 1: send the entire White House press corps, don't get dead shirts,
- 45:32Speaker 1: you know, just to remind them that like, you know,
- 45:35Speaker 1: life is worth living and to think a when threats
- 45:39Speaker 1: to your life are emerging, you know, don't get dead.
- 45:43Speaker 1: Don't get dead. I think, wouldn't that be nice? You know,
- 45:46Speaker 1: not to volunteer Dan, you know, spending his own money
- 45:49Speaker 1: on these guys. And the last people he probably wants
- 45:51Speaker 1: to spend money on is the press corps. But they
- 45:53Speaker 1: should just have a bunch of Dan Bongino don't get
- 45:54Speaker 1: dead shirts. I think that'd be great. Just to remind
- 46:00Speaker 1: them like, hey, it's okay to like, you know, duck
- 46:03Speaker 1: for cover when the gunshots start going off. That is
- 46:06Speaker 1: kind of the number one rule. Don't get dead. But
- 46:09Speaker 1: it's got to be the Bongino version, not that AI
- 46:11Speaker 1: thing that I had. This is the Bongino version. This
- 46:14Speaker 1: is the real one. Look at that. Available right now
- 46:18Speaker 1: at store.bongino.com. Don't get that. Just send the whole press corps.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Don't get that shirts. Unbelievable. Anyway, don't be Jolie Sirkin.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Keep your head on a swivel, ladies and gentlemen. Keep
- 46:35Speaker 1: your head on a swivel. The left is out there.
- 46:37Speaker 1: The left is out there. Okay, that was the attack
- 46:41Speaker 1: on the White House this weekend. Prayers for whoever was
- 46:43Speaker 1: shot in the crossfire this weekend. I don't know the
- 46:47Speaker 1: circumstances there of whether or not they're recovering, if they're
- 46:51Speaker 1: doing well, but our prayers up for them in order
- 46:55Speaker 1: to get better, recover fully. Just awful. We've got to
- 46:59Speaker 1: figure out a way to stop this, just these ongoing
- 47:01Speaker 1: attacks on the president of the United States. The president
- 47:03Speaker 1: did say, by the way, and the White House said
- 47:05Speaker 1: this weekend, that this is all the more reason why
- 47:08Speaker 1: they need the ballroom built and why these radical judges
- 47:10Speaker 1: need to get the hell out of the way. It's
- 47:12Speaker 1: crazy that they're throwing up impediments on Trump because they
- 47:15Speaker 1: don't like Trump. He's just trying to build a ballroom.
- 47:18Speaker 1: It's a gift to the American people, and it would
- 47:20Speaker 1: create a much more secure environment for the president of
- 47:22Speaker 1: the United States, not just this president, but really for
- 47:24Speaker 1: all the future presidents who get to use that ballroom.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Because chances are this president is going to barely be
- 47:29Speaker 1: able to use it by the time this term is done.
- 47:31Speaker 1: But other presidents will, and it will be a much
- 47:34Speaker 1: safer venue for the president. Because again, they do have security.
- 47:38Speaker 1: They got the Secret Service working the perimeter, protecting the president.
- 47:42Speaker 1: And the president was in the White House during this attack.
- 47:45Speaker 1: So super crazy. Super crazy. Hey, the United States Senate
- 47:51Speaker 1: is on vacation right now. I don't know about you,
- 47:54Speaker 1: how many vacations you get, but the Senate gets lots
- 47:56Speaker 1: of vacations. Now they'll claim, they're like, we're not on vacation,
- 47:59Speaker 1: we're working in our home districts. Yeah, sure, buddy. Working
- 48:02Speaker 1: in your home district. Yeah, right. They're on vacation right now.
- 48:07Speaker 1: They did not, before they left this past week, they
- 48:10Speaker 1: didn't pass ICE and Border Patrol funding to take care
- 48:13Speaker 1: of the civilian employees, the administrative employees who work in
- 48:16Speaker 1: these agencies. They're still going without pay. Can you believe this?
- 48:20Speaker 1: Can you, anybody in chat, work for Border Patrol or ICE,
- 48:27Speaker 1: my heart breaks for you that you haven't received a
- 48:28Speaker 1: paycheck in months. That's so crazy to me. And this
- 48:31Speaker 1: is all because the Democrats don't want us to have borders.
- 48:36Speaker 1: And they don't want us to deport the illegals that
- 48:38Speaker 1: they've imported into the country. So I just, I feel
- 48:41Speaker 1: so bad for you. And I'm angry at the United
- 48:44Speaker 1: States Senate for not giving you the bare minimum, which
- 48:46Speaker 1: is to make you whole again, to give you your paychecks.
- 48:49Speaker 1: And This is, look, Democrats, of course, are just being
- 48:53Speaker 1: legislative terrorists here. But there's no question that I'm placing
- 48:56Speaker 1: blame right now at the feet of Republicans. You couldn't
- 48:59Speaker 1: do this last week in the House and the Senate?
- 49:00Speaker 1: You couldn't? And why is that? Why, specifically in the
- 49:03Speaker 1: United States Senate, why couldn't you do the reconciliation package,
- 49:06Speaker 1: simple majority vote? And the answer, apparently, is this, is
- 49:11Speaker 1: that enough of these senators are, one, ticked off at
- 49:15Speaker 1: President Trump because he's endorsing against the establishment. Like today,
- 49:20Speaker 1: John Cornyn is about to lose in Texas because President
- 49:22Speaker 1: Trump and American voters, Texas voters, prefer Ken Paxton. So
- 49:28Speaker 1: Cornyn's about to lose. And so when President Trump a
- 49:31Speaker 1: week ago announced his endorsement of Paxton, The establishment people
- 49:36Speaker 1: in the Senate went crazy. They went nuts, which is
- 49:39Speaker 1: total ratification of the president's judgment here. Get rid of
- 49:42Speaker 1: this guy. Get rid of him. And so these senators decided, well, OK, fine,
- 49:48Speaker 1: we're not going to fund ICE and Border Patrol. And
- 49:50Speaker 1: another reason they claim they're not funding ICE and Border
- 49:52Speaker 1: Patrol is because they're upset that President Trump's Justice Department
- 49:56Speaker 1: just established a fund to make settlement payments to Americans
- 50:00Speaker 1: who've been attacked by their own government. Now, this is
- 50:03Speaker 1: nuts to me for a bunch of reasons. One of
- 50:05Speaker 1: them is the United States Senate has no say in
- 50:07Speaker 1: this at all. This is already law. The Justice Department
- 50:10Speaker 1: can do this. They can distribute the settlement fund the
- 50:13Speaker 1: way that they see fit. And so the Senate has
- 50:16Speaker 1: no role here, but they want a role. They're mad
- 50:19Speaker 1: at President Trump for apparently a number of reasons, including
- 50:22Speaker 1: that American citizens are going to be taken care.
- 50:24Speaker 2: Of at all.
- 50:25Speaker 1: They hate this. So they went ape this past week.
- 50:29Speaker 1: What happened was Todd Blanch arrived at the Senate to
- 50:32Speaker 1: meet with these senators to explain the settlement fund, the $ 1. 776
- 50:37Speaker 1: billion settlement fund. Apparently, upwards of 20 to 25 Republican
- 50:43Speaker 1: senators spent the meeting screaming at Todd Blanch, angry that
- 50:49Speaker 1: American citizens would be taken care of. These people are
- 50:53Speaker 1: not on our side. And I like that they're getting exposed.
- 50:58Speaker 1: Here's Senator Ted Cruz on his podcast. It's called Verdict,
- 51:01Speaker 1: describing what the Republican senators were doing to Todd Blanch
- 51:05Speaker 1: inside of that meeting. Watch this. Cut to.
- 51:07Speaker 4: Fiery does not begin to cut it. The senators I mentioned,
- 51:13Speaker 4: they were pissed, but almost every Republican senator was there.
- 51:18Speaker 4: So my guess is there are probably 45 senators in
- 51:20Speaker 4: the room, at least half of them. were blasting the
- 51:27Speaker 4: attorney general and they were pissed. Basically, the message they
- 51:30Speaker 4: said is, you know what? We were going to pass
- 51:33Speaker 4: reconciliation this week. We were going to fund all of ICE,
- 51:36Speaker 4: all of CBP, all of border control. And then you
- 51:40Speaker 4: announced this judgment fund. And right now, here's the challenge.
- 51:46Speaker 4: If John Thune had put reconciliation on the floor tonight,
- 51:52Speaker 4: The Democrats would have put a bunch of amendments on
- 51:55Speaker 4: the floor to unwind the judgment fund, and we would
- 51:59Speaker 4: have lost every vote. And we wouldn't have lost it close.
- 52:02Speaker 4: It wouldn't have been 51-49. I got to tell you,
- 52:06Speaker 4: the Republican senators were pissed. People were, the entire meeting,
- 52:11Speaker 4: they were screaming at the acting attorney general. And he
- 52:14Speaker 4: was trying to lay out the legal basis. And by
- 52:16Speaker 4: the way, the legal basis is quite sound.
- 52:20Speaker 1: What a bunch of pansy asses. So you got all
- 52:22Speaker 1: these you got these establishment Republicans sitting there. Oh, no,
- 52:25Speaker 1: we might have to take uncomfortable votes. Tell Democrats to
- 52:28Speaker 1: pound sand. Tell them to pound sand. I don't care
- 52:31Speaker 1: if they want to pass an amendment that's called the
- 52:33Speaker 1: America is Great Amendment. We confirm America is great. Just
- 52:39Speaker 1: vote no on everything the Democrats have to offer. If
- 52:42Speaker 1: you want to be part of this process, you should
- 52:43Speaker 1: have done that before. Now we're at the reconciliation phase
- 52:46Speaker 1: because we don't need you. So anything you present, we're
- 52:49Speaker 1: voting no on it. I don't care what it is.
- 52:51Speaker 1: And just get that message out there. But instead, you've
- 52:54Speaker 1: got people like Thumbelina, Thumbtillis. You've got people like John Cornyn.
- 52:59Speaker 1: bitter John Cornyn. You have bitter Bill Cassidy. You have
- 53:03Speaker 1: John Thune that couldn't lead nuns in silent prayer. This
- 53:08Speaker 1: guy can't lead anything. The reality is you've got all
- 53:12Speaker 1: these establishment weak people. And as a result, the very
- 53:17Speaker 1: bare minimum can't get done. We can't fund border patrol
- 53:20Speaker 1: on ICE. What the hell's wrong with you people? You're
- 53:23Speaker 1: throwing a fit over the fact that American citizens are
- 53:25Speaker 1: being taken care of. We need to clean up the
- 53:27Speaker 1: United States Senate. The good news is that cleanup is underway.
- 53:31Speaker 1: President Trump is done with this crap. He's endorsing against
- 53:34Speaker 1: the establishment. He's driving these guys crazy, and it couldn't
- 53:37Speaker 1: happen to a better group of people. I love it.
- 53:39Speaker 1: I love the effort that's underway. And I love, for
- 53:43Speaker 1: those of you in Texas, if you haven't been out
- 53:45Speaker 1: to vote yet, please do it today. Today's election day.
- 53:48Speaker 1: Go out and vote for Ken Paxton. Let's clean out
- 53:50Speaker 1: the establishment, and let's bring in fighters who are actually
- 53:53Speaker 1: going to achieve the basics, like passing the Save America Act.
- 53:57Speaker 1: We're not asking for that much. We're just asking for
- 53:59Speaker 1: you to do the bare minimum. And the current crop
- 54:02Speaker 1: can't even do that. Can't even do that. Crazy.
- 54:10Speaker 2: Yes.
- 54:11Speaker 1: Don't get cocky. Go vote. You're right, Anmo. Today's the
- 54:14Speaker 1: last day. Vote, vote, vote. And get everybody you know
- 54:18Speaker 1: to go with you. Tell them. Get on social media.
- 54:21Speaker 1: Tell them. Whatever you can do, tell them. Little effort,
- 54:25Speaker 1: lots of effort. Put it in. Because the future of
- 54:29Speaker 1: our country really does depend on it. Come on, Texas,
- 54:30Speaker 1: you can do it. Texas is a big vote today.
- 54:33Speaker 1: I mean, the numbers do look pretty good. I mean,
- 54:35Speaker 1: the polling looks good, but do not rest on that.
- 54:38Speaker 1: Play like you're way behind and dominate today in Texas.
- 54:43Speaker 1: We need a great candidate going up against Talifrico. Ken
- 54:46Speaker 1: Paxton's the guy. Gotta go up against Talifrico and destroy
- 54:49Speaker 1: that dude. He is awful. He is truly, truly awful. OK,
- 54:54Speaker 1: one more thing for you, which is maddening to me.
- 54:57Speaker 1: New York Giants quarterback Jackson Dart. This is not maddening.
- 55:00Speaker 1: I love this. Jackson Dart, great athlete. He just introduced
- 55:05Speaker 1: the president of the United States at a New York
- 55:07Speaker 1: rally this past weekend. And it was pretty cool to see.
- 55:11Speaker 1: It's always fun to see these athletes step up to
- 55:14Speaker 1: the microphone. Actually, you know why I like it so much?
- 55:16Speaker 1: It just demonstrated that he was totally unashamed about supporting
- 55:19Speaker 1: President Trump, that he wasn't withering under the criticism of,
- 55:23Speaker 1: you're not allowed to support the president, which is so
- 55:25Speaker 1: crazy to me. He likes the guy. So he showed up,
- 55:28Speaker 1: he supported the president, and he did a big introduction.
- 55:31Speaker 1: And here's what it looked like.
- 55:31Speaker 4: Watch.
- 55:32Speaker 1: I'm grateful, I'm honored, I'm a pleasure to... Introduce the
- 55:37Speaker 1: 45th and 47th President.
- 55:40Speaker 4: Of the United States.
- 55:42Speaker 2: Of America, President Donald J.
- 55:45Speaker 3: Trump.
- 56:10Speaker 1: Very cool. So Jackson third, he just introduced him. He
- 56:12Speaker 1: didn't give like a big windup speech. He didn't tell
- 56:14Speaker 1: people how to think about everything ideologically. He wasn't lecturing everybody.
- 56:18Speaker 1: He just said, it's my honor. It's my privilege to
- 56:20Speaker 1: introduce to you the two-time president of the United States, Mr.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And there he is. So president Trump comes out,
- 56:28Speaker 1: they hug, they embrace. Wonderful. Now, I don't know about
- 56:31Speaker 1: how you were raised, but you know what? When I
- 56:34Speaker 1: was a kid, like even as an adult, it's always amazing.
- 56:37Speaker 1: It's always been an amazing thing to be able to
- 56:39Speaker 1: see a president of the United States of either political party.
- 56:42Speaker 1: I think most people go most of their lives and
- 56:44Speaker 1: they're never in the same room, like a rally like
- 56:46Speaker 1: this with a president. So it's an extraordinary privilege to
- 56:50Speaker 1: just see the guy who's leading the country up close
- 56:53Speaker 1: and in person. And that's a normal human reaction. I
- 56:57Speaker 1: think a normal American reaction. Do we have disagreements? Yeah,
- 57:00Speaker 1: huge ones. We have big disagreements. But to see a
- 57:04Speaker 1: president and be given the honor of being able to
- 57:07Speaker 1: introduce the president is very cool. So Jackson did that.
- 57:10Speaker 1: He accepted that and was very gracious. The other thing is, like,
- 57:14Speaker 1: there's this kind of attitude that, you know, we've seen
- 57:19Speaker 1: people wield, which is like, oh, athletes are never allowed
- 57:24Speaker 1: to have political opinions or something. That's not true. You're
- 57:27Speaker 1: allowed to have a political opinion. You have to know
- 57:29Speaker 1: that once you enter the political arena, those people are
- 57:31Speaker 1: not going to like it. That's fine. Jackson Dart made
- 57:34Speaker 1: that calculus. No question. I mean, you have to be
- 57:36Speaker 1: a complete moron not to realize that you have criticisms
- 57:39Speaker 1: directed your way. But he made that assessment and he
- 57:41Speaker 1: stepped on that stage anyway. More power to him. I
- 57:44Speaker 1: think that's great. I'm not one of these people who
- 57:47Speaker 1: says that, like, you know, if you're an athlete, that's
- 57:50Speaker 1: the lane you have to stay in forever. You're not
- 57:51Speaker 1: allowed to talk about what you believe in. No, look,
- 57:54Speaker 1: if you say something I agree with, I'll tell you
- 57:56Speaker 1: I agree with it. If you say something I disagree with,
- 57:58Speaker 1: I'll tell you you're a moron. There are current American
- 58:01Speaker 1: politicians who say moronic things all the time. Eric Swalwell exists.
- 58:05Speaker 1: Adam Schiff exists. Jasmine freaking Crockett exists. They're morons. And
- 58:10Speaker 1: we'll say that on a routine basis, that their business
- 58:13Speaker 1: is politics and they should shut up. No, I don't
- 58:17Speaker 1: have any problem. If you want to step up and
- 58:19Speaker 1: say that, you know, that, you want to secure our borders,
- 58:23Speaker 1: if you want to tell us what an important role
- 58:26Speaker 1: Jesus has played in your life, I love all that.
- 58:28Speaker 1: Go ahead. Speak up. Speak up. If it comes from
- 58:33Speaker 1: a place of wisdom and sincerity, I think that's wonderful. Now,
- 58:37Speaker 1: having said that, Jackson Dart did step on that stage,
- 58:40Speaker 1: and then he was being attacked by one of his
- 58:42Speaker 1: teammates in public. A linebacker by the name of Abdul
- 58:46Speaker 1: Carter got on X Saturday morning, And wrote, quote, thought
- 58:53Speaker 1: this shit was AI. What we doing, man? What we doing?
- 58:58Speaker 1: First of all, what kind of teammate are you? Like,
- 59:00Speaker 1: if you disagree with his political positions, really, you're going
- 59:03Speaker 1: to take it to social media to attack him? Why
- 59:06Speaker 1: don't you just work it out with him? And allegedly,
- 59:08Speaker 1: the two of them did work it out. afterwards. But
- 59:11Speaker 1: after Abdul Carter's emotional incontinence and nonsense, which doesn't help
- 59:16Speaker 1: the team at all. That's not a sign of leadership
- 59:18Speaker 1: on his part. Here's how it all went down. This
- 59:22Speaker 1: is what the New York Post says about it. Abdul
- 59:24Speaker 1: Carter and Jackson Dart spoke as men after Trump rally
- 59:27Speaker 1: sparks Giants drama. Abdul Carter wants to put the discourse
- 59:31Speaker 1: surrounding him and his Giants teammate Jackson Dart to rest. Carter,
- 59:35Speaker 1: who called out Dart Saturday morning for introducing President Trump
- 59:38Speaker 1: at a rally in upstate New York, said there's no
- 59:40Speaker 1: animosity between him and the quarterback. Me and JD6 are good,
- 59:45Speaker 1: he posted on X Saturday. We spoke earlier as men.
- 59:49Speaker 1: Y'all can keep y'all narratives. That's right. The linebacker's comments
- 59:56Speaker 1: came hours after he was seeming to rip Dart for
- 59:59Speaker 1: attending the rally, claiming he thought it was AI-generated. Anyway,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: it doesn't. It hardly matters. But here's this goofball, Abdul Carter, 51, linebacker.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: And look, if you have a difference of opinion with
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: the guy, bring it up with him. But why you
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: got to throw the team in the chaos? What is this, man?
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: What is this?
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: Control yourselves. Just control yourselves. And stop this whole thing
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: about demonizing President Trump and anybody who associates with him.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: At some point, you're going to grow up. I don't
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: know how old this kid is now, Abdul Carter. These
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: are all kids, relatively. These are young guys. At some point,
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: he'll grow up, and he'll look back at this, and
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: he'll go, man, that was really stupid. Trump was great
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: for this country. What was I thinking? Why did I
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: attack that guy for that? And I hope he comes
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: to that realization sooner rather than later. It'd be good
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: for the whole country if people started waking up to that.
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: All right.

- 1:01:47Speaker 2: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You

- 1:01:52Speaker 2: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
