  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here with us.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I know usually what happens is we try and we
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have the guests later on in the program. But because
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of the time constraints, my next guest, we said, why
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: don't we just do it right at the top? We'll
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: do it live, as somebody once said. Joining us now
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is Dr.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Mehmet Oz, who has so graciously volunteered his services to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the federal government.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. Good to have you with us today.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Thank you for having me, Vince. I appreciate it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Lots to talk about.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Lots to talk about. Let me start with fraud with you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We just saw Nick Shirley head off to California. He
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: films knocking on these doors for a variety of places
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that are nominally businesses like hospice care centers and things.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And what I realized about that great video that he
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: put together is he's putting together something that you've been
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: very much on. You've been sharing all this information about
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: fraud going on in particular in California, and it's to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the consternation of the governor of the state. He accused
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you of being a racist for focusing on all of this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: What is going on with fraud in a place like California?
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: There's been a normalization of actions that really are a
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: betrayal of the social safety net of the country. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: love Medicaid. I love Medicare. We get to defend it
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: every single day here. And if you really care about
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: these programs and you care about affordability of health care,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you do not let $ 100 billion get stolen a year. Unfortunately,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: there's been, over the last several years, a belief that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: it's all about getting more people on Medicaid and Medicare.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And yes, if you're appropriately eligible, you should get on
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: these programs. But at the same time, you've got to
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: have some type of program integrity to check to make
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: sure that the right people are on the programs and
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: drifters and grifters aren't just stealing money right and left.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: During COVID, because the rules relaxed, a lot of criminal elements,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: and some of these are organized criminal elements, which is
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: why the governor's, you know, cannot keep up with what's
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: happening right now. They've taken advantage of the system. They've
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: weaponized the weakness of the rules, the guardrails around these programs.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And I'm just going to give you a couple numbers, Vince,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: because I can talk until I'm blue in the face.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And these governors, like Governor Newsom, are going to claim
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: it's not real. You know, it's just done as a
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: reason to cut services. The reality is based in the numbers.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I'm a surgeon. I look at numbers all the time.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: We can deal with the fraud that we're experiencing. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: if you're worried about Medicare being around for you, pay attention.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: We would double the life expectancy of the Medicare trust fund.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Double it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: You know, putting that kind of money into the system
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: would fix a lot of the problems we're all struggling with.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: But here's the raw data on the ground. I'll start
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: with California, but I'll give you a couple other states
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: as well. One-third of all the hospices in that country,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and remember, hospices are for people who are dying. Predictably,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: you will die within six months, usually have metastatic cancer.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: One-third of all the hospices in the country are in
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles, not even California, Los Angeles. I mean, how
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: much are people dying in LA? The numbers don't, there's
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: no way that's possible. It's six to seven times more
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: than you would expect. In addition, we see home health
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: care rocketing in California. Nick covered some of the daycare
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: issues in California. And if you go and visit, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I have, and you talk to law enforcement, they're so
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: happy that we're paying attention to their plight. They're having
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: difficulty keeping up with these problems. And what you see
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: in the ecosystem, Vince, is as one part begins to rock,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the rest of the world around it begins to go
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: down the tubes as well. On Friday in Los Angeles,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I visited what's called a six-pack. A six-pack is a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: small home in a residential community that's got six rooms
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: in it or a place for six people to stay.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: They take these seniors basically hostage. They traffic their Medicare number.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: They pretend they need services like hospice. They sign them up.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: These seniors are not dying. They don't know what's going on.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: They're sort of held. They're fed bad food, moldy food,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: in fact. And over time, these houses will generate about $ 30, 000, $ 40, 000
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: a month of revenue. These fraudsters buy up these homes, again,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and this was in Carson, by the way, just somewhere
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: up in L.A., and they can make a fortune, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: no one's paying attention because they're unlicensed. Law enforcement is
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: begging us to let them go out to these guys.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: This agency, and President Trump has made this a priority.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: He put Vice President Vance in charge of the task force.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: We're going to make sure we give the data, the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: raw numbers over all the monies being spent, so law
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: enforcement can go out to these guys. In the meantime, Vince,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: so help me God, we are not gonna pay these
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: bills anymore. The money will not leave this building unless
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: we feel it's a legitimate use of funds.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: How was it happening before?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Was the federal government was just cutting massive checks to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the states and then it was their job to administer
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the program and that included lots of money being stolen?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: In Medicaid, that's how it works. The state runs the program.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: We pay the bills. Not all of it. We pay,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: let's say, 60 to 70% of the money. The thought
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: was the state will care about its one-third of the money.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But it became a jobs program. It became political patronage.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Look what's happening in New York. The most common job, Vince,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: in the entire state of New York, is a personal
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: care service. Someone carrying your groceries up the stairs. Someone
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: helping you balance your checking account. You know, it's like
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: soft stuff like that. Things your family would do for
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you normally. Instead, in New York, you just hire somebody.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: In fact, your child gets hired by your neighbor. You
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: hire your neighbor's child.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Everyone's employed.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: It's a jobs program. That has caused New York State
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: to have the highest cost per resident of the state
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: in Medicaid. In fact, it's 80% higher than the national average.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: We see things happening like social adult daycare where Seniors
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: go to a place, they think it's just a place
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: to hang out. If you're frail and you might have
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to go to a nursing home instead, you go to
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: this place. Well, it's been weaponized. You have these insular communities.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I was in Flushing, Queens, primarily Chinese community. You can't
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: talk about it. No one will ever break ranks with
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: their tribe. And they are running these massive fraud efforts.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: There was a $ 68 million settlement we just got on
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: that same city block. There were three of these centers.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: There was a police precinct and nobody was doing anything
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: about it because the state has not gone after these problems. Again,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: it normalizes fraud.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So as you find these fraudulent operations that are stealing
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: money from us, what do you do with that information?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Well, we've now taken steps in several states. As everyone,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I think, probably realizes, we started in Minnesota. In Minnesota,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: there was a massive problem with autism fraud. The program
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be a $ 2 million, $ 3 million program.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: It capped out at $ 400 million. People were paying moms
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: to lie that their children had autism, to manufacture more
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: reasons to have untrained individuals provide non-existent services. I mean, listen,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: if you're paying $ 1, 000 an hour to watch a kid
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: watch Smurfs You know, that's illegitimate use of funding and
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: that's what was happening. And so not only did we
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: go after them to ask them to change their programs,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: but we have deferred payments to them because of past
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: transgressions that they've been involved in. And we're working through
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: these issues. We want the state to prove to us
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: that not only are the bills adding up correctly, but
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: are they legitimate bills in the first place? We're talking
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: to California. Again, we've sent a note asking them to
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: reveal to us what's been going on. Why do they
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: think there's so much fraud? What are they gonna do
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: about it? We need to provide us a corrective action plan.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Same thing in Maine, same thing in New York. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: we went to Florida this week, because this also involves
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: red states. And Florida is a well-run state, but they
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: have watched durable medical equipment suppliers in South Florida, take
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: advantage of the system. And there are two times more
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: durable medical equipment suppliers in South Florida than McDonald's.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of retirees in Florida and a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: lot of Medicare numbers and a lot of fraudsters who
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: are looking to exploit that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Exactly. And the good news is if the state wants
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: to go after it, they'll start taking measures. Now, so
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: we have a national moratorium now on no more new
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: durable medical equipment suppliers. These people ship wheelchairs and canes.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: The state's going after it now. Our goal is to
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: get to all the states, give them a list of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: things that we believe make sense for them to pursue,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: have them pick the ones that make the most sense,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: but they can no longer sit back and watch the
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: money go out the door. It is unfair to the
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: American people. It's unfair to taxpayers. And Vince, here's the biggest.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: News of all.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: If these jerks will steal your money, they will steal
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: your health, they will steal your life. We've witnessed it
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: happen in California and other states as well. We cannot
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: stand back and watch people take advantage of our most
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: vulnerable citizens.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So are you making criminal referrals as you handle all
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of this? You're sending this off to the Justice Department
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: for prosecution?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Setting it up to Department of Justice, to the FBI,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: to the Office of Inspector General. These are wonderful groups.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: And I've sat with them in the Southern District of Manhattan,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: where Giuliani came from. I've sat with them at the U.S.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Attorney's Office, Billy Hussain in Los Angeles. You know, I've
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: met with these folks in quite a bunch of places.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Their biggest complaint is the guardrails are unclear. We're not
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: giving them referrals or dealing with their referrals. You know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: they also send us evidence. And they'll say, guys, this
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: fellow has, you know, hundreds and hundreds of of people
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: claim that he's taken advantage of them, and yet we're
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: still paying the bills. So again, our job is when OIG,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Office of Inspector General, calls us and says, we suspect fraud,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: stop their payments, we stop it immediately. I don't wanna
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: have people paid money, because what ends up happening, Vince,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: is they get the cash, they ship it overseas, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: then when criminal indictments are passed down, they flee the country.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: The biggest settlement we had last year was about a $ 12,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: $ 13 billion case, All the fraudsters, they were off in
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Russia already. They fled the country. The Cubans in South Florida,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the durable medical equipment suppliers are often Cubans. They flee
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: back to Cuba. That's why one of the prominent mayors
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: down there said he thought the Cuban government was involved.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: And I think that's actually the case. We've got, again,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: secular communities in New York and Philadelphia, Maine. You know
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: about the Somalians in Minnesota. These folks don't share our values.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: In their country of origin, they actually steal for money.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: That's normal, right? You steal from the government because there
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: is no law and order there. And then they come
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: here and figure, well, if we're not going to police
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: our $ 1. 8 trillion Medicare and Medicaid service, we'll steal from
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: them too. That's why we cannot allow this to become
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the norm in our country. We want Medicaid back.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of these people prosecuted and convicted,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: especially in that Somali community in Minnesota. So that's been
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the good news in terms of justice. But what about
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the government officials who make this happen?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: So obviously.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: As you just pointed out, the Center for Medicare and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Medicaid Services sends huge tranches of money to these states
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: who are doling it out in this insane way, in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: many cases, that are given away to corrupt people.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: What about government officials?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Have you detected any behavior that said, you know what,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: this is worthy of a criminal referral based on the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: way they're handing this money out?
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm smiling, Vince, because that's, of course, the
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: first question all of us have is these guys, you know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: it's gross malpractice what they were doing managing these programs.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: but they don't actually sign the documents. And so they
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: have plausible deniability. Hey, I'm just the governor. I didn't
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: know what was happening. It got out of control. I
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: was over paying attention to the school system. I didn't
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: realize that all the money was being stolen from the
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: school system by these fraudsters in Medicaid. They actually have
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: been skirting this. We're asking states to start to add
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a signature line in contracts and deals that are being permitted,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: at least some type of acknowledgement that governance matters. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: we know in Minnesota, whistleblowers have told us that they
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: were chased out of the building when they started bringing
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: up problems in the Department of Health, that they were
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: not allowed to do their jobs. They were marginalized. You know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: you don't fire these people. You just put them in
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: a job they don't want to do anymore. You make
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: sure no one ever hears from them again. And their
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: coworkers learn. And so we know that for a fact.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I've spoken to these whistleblowers in several states. Yet the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: people in charge of these programs, because they're not registered
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: as the official decision maker on these contracts, it's hard
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: to go after them. We want to change. Okay.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you about most favored nation
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: status for drug pricing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Help people understand what this is.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: What does that mean, most favored nation, and how does
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it affect drug prices in the United States?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: President Trump has been frustrated by a reality that I
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: want everyone to register. This is pretty clearly the wrong
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: thing to happen for the American people. If you go
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: to a drugstore and try to buy a drug, one
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: in three times you will turn away because you can't
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: afford it. You should be asking yourself, well, how do
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: people in other countries afford their drugs? The reason they
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: go to the drugstore in other countries more successfully is
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: American drug sellers charge three times more for the exact
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: same drug made in the same factory as they pay
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: in Europe, Japan, and other countries. And so President Trump
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: has appropriately said this has to stop, no mas, no more.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: And so he charged me, Secretary Kennedy, and others to
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: hire top-tier talent, people like Chris Klump, John Brooks, Inma Hernandez.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And I bring that up because what makes our government
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: special is the president is a magnet. He brings in
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: top-tier individuals who want to come in, serve for a
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: period of time, and go back to the private sector.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: These are world-class experts, and they went head-to-head with these
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: pharmaceutical companies. And in negotiated contracts, no one thought were possible.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: And here's the deal. From now on, we will not
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: spend three times more for the exact same drug. Even
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: if it's made in the same facility, we're going to
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: pay the same. as the average of other countries in
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the developed world are paying. We got these deals done.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: All the major companies have signed up. And so now
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: we did these great ceremonies in the Oval Office. And
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: now the president has asked us to do two things.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Put all these drugs with their better prices on TrumpRx.gov.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: The website TrumpRx.gov is the place you should go to
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: check just before you buy your medications just to see
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: if we've gotten better price on behalf of the government
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: than you might have gotten on your own. And pharmacies now,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: like CVS, they'll actually ask you to type in at
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the counter to make sure that you might not get
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: a better price if you buy it at TrumpRx.gov. So
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: that's all worked beautifully. And now the president has asked
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Congress to codify this because we did these deals through
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the end of his term because he tells these companies,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: if you don't work with me, I'm going.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: To come at you.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So you don't even need to be on Medicare or
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Medicaid to benefit from this?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You can use this if you have any insurance provider?
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Any insurance provider, it's not for insurance providers. It's actually
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: for people paying cash right now. We're asking Congress to
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: make it easier for insurance providers and people who work
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: for companies who have insurance to use these as well.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: You still might be better off using TrumpRx. And there
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: are lots of services your company probably won't pay for,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: like fertility services, where our drugs are 1 10th the
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: price on the open market. Or weight loss drugs, the
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: most common one, Vince. If you want to lose weight,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: instead of paying $ 1, 200, a month for these medications, you
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: can get it for $ 300, $ 350 now, and the pill
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: is coming out soon that'll be even cheaper.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So what you're describing, this idea that Americans are paying
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: three times as much for the same drug that's made
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: by an American pharmaceutical company in the United States of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: America than some other country, what that means is Americans
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: have been subsidizing these prescriptions for people all around the world,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and then we pay a premium?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Global freeloading. has allowed other countries to just tell these
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: big pharma guys, we're not going to pay what you want.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: We're just going to pay a fraction. Listen, you're making
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: your money in America, right? I know they only have
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: 4% of the population, but more than half your profits
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: are in America. Make your money there. Give us a
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: better deal here in Japan or Germany. So the president
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: said that all those countries have to ante up They've
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: got to increase what they're paying for these pharmaceutical products
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: so that Americans can pay less. Listen, Vince, we don't
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: want to take away the productivity, the innovation of the sector.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: We want to protect the creative people, the scientists curing
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: cancer in these companies. But we don't want to carry
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: the whole task. It's like what happened with NATO. We
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: have an external threat. All countries have to ante up
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: about 5% of their GDP to make sure they're arming
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: NATO so we can protect the European continent, from Russia
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: and others. And America chips in accordingly because we're a
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: team player. Same thing for pharmaceuticals. There's external threats like Russia.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: There's internal threats like cancer. And so we all have
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: to ante up a little more. Countries are coming on board.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: The English, UK has agreed already. We're having discussions with
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: other countries. The president's going to make sure that everyone
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: chips in, no more global freeloading.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, though, because to hear the left
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: talk about President Trump, they'll say stuff like, oh, he's
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in bed with the pharmaceutical companies and the big insurance companies.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile, what you're describing to me is like the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies can't be happy with this. The insurance companies
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: can't be happy when he stands up at the State
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of the Union and says, you know what? I want
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to send money directly to the people. No more giveaways
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to the insurance companies. This isn't exactly a guy who's
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: in the pocket of these industries.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Quite the opposite, that they do not really like when
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: you've got someone as powerful as President Trump in there
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: who acts on what he says. And I've had countless conversations. Again,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I adore the president. I've known him for a long time.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: But you sit there and you say, Mr. President, this
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: is going to be a really difficult decision. You know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: the company is going to be upset. They're going to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: lobby against you. And he'll say every single time, I
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: don't care. I don't care. Do the right thing. You know,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: fix the problem. And he's not even trying to placate
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: individuals who aren't in these companies. He just wants to
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: do the right thing for the country. And getting prices
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: down for American consumers and pharmaceuticals is a top priority,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: especially when we know that they're at the rates they
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: are at because other countries aren't carrying their load. These
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: are the kinds of changes that we have been making.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: If we can codify this, if we can get Congress
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: to actually put into law that what we have done
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: with these contracts is going to be the rule of
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: law for the foreseeable future. We will protect a generation
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: of Americans.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I love it. All right. Well, Dr.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Mehmet Oz, of course, is the administrator for the Center
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: for Medicare and Medicaid Services these days. You've known him

  Speaker 1: more than ever.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: It really is the case. You know, a lot of
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: wireless companies don't even care at.

• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I walked down to the kitchen this morning.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I was dressed in my blue shirt and my daughter
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: sees me, my 11-year-old, and she looks at me and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: she goes, you.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Look 10 years younger. I think she delivered in that
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: tone too. I was like, what are you talking about?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: She's like, blue shirt. Makes you look younger. And then
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: she went off to school. I was like, all right,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I'll take it. That's a compliment. I'll take that. Thank you.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Like 10 years. How about that? We all look younger
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: on a Friday. Feel good about that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's get into this grand conspiracy thing.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: You ready?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I got a treat for you. Here we go.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: You ready?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Here's a grand conspiracy update.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: And now it's time for a grand conspiracy update.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Hey!
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: And now it's time for a grand conspiracy update. Only
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: on The Vince Show.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's time for a grand conspiracy update. We've been
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: waiting for this. You know, it's funny. For a while now,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: we've had people in the chat going, Hey, Vince, where's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the grand conspiracy thing?
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: What happened to that? Remember, I was telling you last year.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: That all of the reporting was indicating that there's something
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: working up in South Florida right now that that basically
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: there is a U.S. attorney down there. A grand jury
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: has been impaneled. They are seeking all sorts of information.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Right now. Yeah, bad old Kitty. Bad old Kitty's been
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: waiting for this. That's right. Thank you, bad old Kitty.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: They've been trying to seek all sorts of information about
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the people who have subverted the Justice Department through the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: years and used the tools of government to try and
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: crush the President of the United States and everybody around him.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Everybody.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And the early indicators, and I'm talking about mid-year last year,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: was that, A, by January or maybe February, we could
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: see these charges being brought in the grand conspiracy case
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: down in Florida. And then the last time I got
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: any reasonable update on this, I had heard from a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: source and I shared with you that it may be
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: a little overeager to expect these charges in January or February.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: It may be a little bit beyond that, at least. Okay.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: So basically I was told like, cool your heels a
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: little bit, but it's underway. All right. It's underway. And
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: we just got an update and it involves James Comey.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Here's what we have. Let me share this with you.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Pull this up on the screen here.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Axios reporting and a number of other outlets now joining
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: in on the reporting yesterday that James Comey has been
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: subpoenaed in the grand conspiracy case against Trump. Former FBI
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging conspiracy
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: case against the ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios. The
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: investigation has produced, you ready for the number here? The
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas so far since
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: it began last year. And it targets top officials who
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: worked under Presidents Obama and Biden. So what you have,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: this is not a small deal. This is a massive
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: situation where you have a U.S. attorney, a grand jury impaneled,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: a judge signing off, You have subpoenas going out the door,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: 130 of them. These are for all the people who
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: were working under Obama and Biden. This dates back to,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: reports say, all the way back to 2016 and that election.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: And the reason why the.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Phrase grand conspiracy matters so much is not merely that
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: it's fun to say. It's also that there is no
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: statute of limitations on a grand conspiracy case. Whereas with
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: all sorts of other crimes, you run into these five-year
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: statutes of limitations.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's gone. Oh, we can't go after the guy anymore.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: If you establish it's a grand conspiracy, the statute of
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: limitations continues to run from the last overt act in
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: furtherance of the conspiracy. So if one of these guys
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: go out in public or go on television and they
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: deny that anything wrong happened, that's the last act. That's
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the last overt act. in furtherance of the conspiracy, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it leaves everybody vulnerable. That was a part of the conspiracy.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The officials so far who received subpoenas, Axios reports, include
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: James Comey, and they've all decried the investigation as political
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: persecution and lawfare. The Trump administration's grand conspiracy theory posits,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it posits, as if this is not something we've all
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: well established, that Democrat officials bent the rules, broke the law,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and lied under.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Oath, which, of course, they did.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: They did all of those things to investigate, prosecute, and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: otherwise undermine Trump from his election back in 2016 all
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the way through the federal indictments in 2023. The Comey
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: subpoena was just issued last week, Axios reports, and relates
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to his role, his alleged role, in the drafting of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the January 2017 intelligence community assessment.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Remember this? The intelligence community assessment, the one that the.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Steele dossier formed the meat of, yet they tried to
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: bury the fact that the Steele dossier even played a role.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: It was included in the annex document. of the intelligence
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: community assessment. And it was rammed in there, we now know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: by John Brennan and James Comey. They're the guys who
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: rammed that fictional Steele dossier into the intelligence community assessment.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: So of course James Comey would be a part of
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the grand conspiracy. The assessment referenced the now widely discredited
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Steele dossier, Axios acknowledges, whose inclusion ran counter to fundamental
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: according to John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, who completed a
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: review of all of this last June. So let me
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: pause on this for a moment because that seems to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: be one of the most important things we could possibly
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: talk about. John Ratcliffe and what he discovered. If I
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: take you back to last July, it was June when
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: it was conducted. It was July when this piece of
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: journalism was produced. by the Fox News Channel.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Take a look here.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: This is Fox News reporting that the FBI had launched
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a criminal investigation of John Brennan and James Comey, according
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to DOJ sources. This was because John Ratcliffe had referred
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to Kash Patel, the FBI director,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: for prosecution, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital. The sources
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: said the referral was received and told Fox that a
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and it's underway. DOJ
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: sources declined to provide further details. It's unclear at this
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: point if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: to Congress.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Now we know it does, of course. It's a grand
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: conspiracy case.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: As for Comey, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital that
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: an investigation into the former director is underway, but they
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't share details of what.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Specifically is being probed.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: The full scope of the criminal investigations into Brennan and Comey, unclear,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: but two sources describe the FBI's view of the duo's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: interactions as a conspiracy.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Well, that sounds like a familiar phrase, doesn't it?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Which could open up a wide range of potential prosecutorial options, including,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of course, the fact that the statute of limitations is much,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: much longer. The FBI and the CIA declined to comment
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: at the time. This is July of last year. Neither
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Brennan nor Comey immediately responded to Fox News Digital's request
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: for comment. The Brennan investigation comes after Ratcliffe last week
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: declassified a lessons learned review of that intelligence community assessment.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: And the review found that the process was rushed. They
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: had procedural anomalies and officials diverted from all regular intelligence activities. standards.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: They also determined that the agency heads that would be
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Brennan and Comey, you guys tracking all this? This really,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: these are the key elements here.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Brennan and Comey pushed to get the Steele dossier into
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: the ICA and it ran counter to all the fundamental
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: judgment that basically that it was nonsense. It was complete nonsense.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And for those of you who've been tracking this story
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: long enough, maybe we got some newcomers, but you know
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the Steele dossier, where it came from? Christopher Steele, former MI6.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Guy, hired by.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Fusion GPS, who was hired by a law firm called
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Perkins Coie, who was hired by Hillary Clinton, look at
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: this Russian nesting doll, in order to come up with
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: a pile of garbage about Donald Trump, just a packet
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: of lies that was used as the basis to investigate
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the candidate Donald Trump and then subsequently President Trump in
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: order to stagger his first term in office. forming the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: basis of Adam Schiff wagging his finger at everybody that
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump colluded with the Russians, and forming the basis
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: of ludicrous impeachment efforts against President Trump.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: All of that. A grand conspiracy.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: And it continued after President Trump was out of office.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: When he left office, what did they do? They prosecuted
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: him like crazy. They threw every left-wing prosecutor with every
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: rigged jury across the country. They tried to banish him
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: from the election, get him pulled off the ballots. A
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: grand conspiracy. So now we get this update from Axios
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: that it's underway. That it is underway. And now James Comey,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: who's overgrown... And now the recipient of a subpoena, he's
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: got to pay more legal bills to handle all of this.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Good. Keep them coming. Keep them coming.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Ratcliffe referred Comey and Brennan for prosecution, Axios confirms. While
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: popular with the online right, that would be you and I.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: That's what they're talking about here on Axios. The idea
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: of a criminal grand conspiracy has so far failed in
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the courts, which critics say is proof that no real
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: crime against Trump took place.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's the way to view it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: It's not that we have radical judges who have been
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: upending the justice system.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: For their own cruel political purposes. It must be that
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the case is phony. It's unbelievable.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Here's what Axios points to, though, that is giving cause
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: for hope on the right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: District Judge Eileen Cannon, a Trump nominee, who threw out
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the federal prosecution against him in his classified documents case
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: in 2024. Yeah, you know why? You know why Eileen
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Cannon threw out the prosecution against Trump? Because Jack Smith
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: is a fraud. He was unconstitutional. He wasn't a real
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: special counsel. There was nothing legitimate about his appointment. He
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: was completely unconstitutional. Clarence Thomas detected this. He wrote this
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: in a Supreme Court opinion. And subsequently, Judge Eileen Cannon,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: a real federal judge, she looked at all of this
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and goes, this guy's a phony. And she threw the
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: case out on that basis. That wasn't mentioned in the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Axios piece. They didn't bother to mention that the guy
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: was unconstitutional. Yeah, they just said that she throws out
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the case. And what you have now is a grand
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: jury impaneled in the Southern District of Florida, a real
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: district with real, considerate, thoughtful Americans who are actually looking
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: at this and going, okay, I've seen enough.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Let's send some subpoenas out. I've seen enough.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It looks like we've got evidence here. Let's start gathering it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: And if they see evidence of a crime, what follows?
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Indictments. Cannon Fort Pierce-based courtroom. Cannon, it says Cannon.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Cannon's, as in her Fort Pierce-based courtroom, is located in
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: a region of Florida's Southern District that has a more
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: pro-Trump jury pool than the other federal districts that previously
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: handled the cases involving Comey and Brennan. Yet, the Eastern
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: District of Virginia was a complete dumpster fire. Remember James
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Comey prosecution began there and we got the Eastern district
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: of Virginia and the shenanigans.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: That everybody was pulling.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: We had a, we have a U S attorney there
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: who was in bed with James Comey, who refused to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: prosecute those guys. And so at the last minute before
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the statute of limitations runs out, President Trump puts in
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: someone else to do the job. The Justice Department, Pam Bondi,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: puts in someone else to do the job. She goes in.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: She gets these charges worked up. And then the judges,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: on behalf of James Comey, throw the case out. So
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it's been a mess. But it didn't mean it was
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the end of the road for Comey and his legal problems.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Now we've got this in Florida. This is a very
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: big deal.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Brennan... Axios.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Says, is central to the case because he's accused of
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: lying in a congressional deposition concerning the Steele dossier in 2023. 2023,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: that's three years ago, for those of you keeping track
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: at home. This makes a prosecution still permissible under the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: five-year statute of limitations. Now, Axios points out that James
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Comey's alleged crimes and his alleged false statements would have
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: already run the statute of limitations because he apparently made
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: false statements in 2020.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, it's 2026, five years has run. Yes,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: but U.S.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Attorney Jason Redding Quinones hopes to tie James Comey, John Brennan,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and others, including Jack Smith, together in a prosecutable conspiracy case. Now, why, chat,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: is this happening in Florida? How is it that that
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Jason Quinones, the U.S. attorney in Florida, has jurisdiction here.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Why is this happening in Florida? Does anybody know the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: answer to this? I'm going to let, I'm going to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: let chat do this analysis because I think the chat knows.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I think the chat knows. Why is it in Florida?
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: How did we achieve this?
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: How did we get to a district where this could
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: all happen? A fair jury and judges.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, there it is.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Lady Roy Mustang. They raided Mar-a-Lago. They raided Mar-a-Lago. So
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: let's pick up the breadcrumbs on this case.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Think about this.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: You've got the Steele dossier. You've got all of the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: pursuits of Donald Trump and the people around him. You've
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: got the lying before Congress. You have an endless series
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: of crimes. But again, as I pointed out, a grand
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: conspiracy case, in order to keep it alive, it requires
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: the last overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. John
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Brennan very helpfully lied to Congress in 2023.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: It keeps the statute of limitations alive. The jurisdiction, Florida,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: how do we get so lucky? We have a fair
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: judge and a fair jury looking at all of this.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: That's Mar-a-Lago.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: The fatal mistake that they made was raiding Mar-a-Lago. Jack Smith,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: by raiding Mar-a-Lago, opened up this possibility of a fair
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: jurisdiction considering the grand conspiracy against Donald Trump.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And here we are.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Here we are.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: So we have a grand conspiracy update today. Is it
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: the end of this saga? No, hardly. In fact, in
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways, it's the beginning.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: But James Comey has been subpoenaed and he better have
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: some good lawyers because he's got a real case to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: deal with here.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: He's got some problems ahead. All right. More ahead on
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: the program.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot more to get to here on
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: the show, including I do have another update for you
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: on the Save America Act. So we have to get
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to that as well.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: We really do. On a Friday.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Best audience anywhere. Glad to have you with me today.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, I wanted to share Fatty 15 with you. This
• 37:35

• 37:43
  Speaker 2: will too. It's pretty great.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Look, as we get older, as we get older, things
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: start to break down a little bit. Things start to
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: slow down a little bit. And you look for ways
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to get your energy back. you know, so you can
• 37:54

• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Stephanie Van Watson, discovered the benefits of C15 all while
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: working with our sailors in the United States Navy. And
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: based on studies, we do know though, when our cells
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: don't get enough C15, They can actually age faster.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I did the research on this as I got started
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and now I'm so happy that I did. Fatty 15
• 38:27

  Speaker 2: We love them. We sleep so well. Josh, do you
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: have a Helix mattress yet? Are you Helix'd up yet? Josh, okay,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: we got to work on that. Josh does not have
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: a Helix mattress. Now, you know what? Actually, I probably
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: didn't have to ask you.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I can notice this because sometimes when Josh comes into

  Speaker 1: the morning house, he sounds kind of groggy. That guy

• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Save America Act. I say, oh, like it's not the
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: single most dominant issue on this show. The Save America Act.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I love Senator Eric Schmidt.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: He's very good. Yesterday, he was.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Pointing out in their ongoing debate on the floor of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the Senate that these Democrats, you know, they just let in.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: It's helpful to remember the context.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: They just let in millions upon millions upon millions upon millions.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many millions he gets to. He
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: gets to a lot of millions here of military age
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: males have poured across our border. And we still have
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: people in Congress acting like there's really no problem to
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: deal with.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Really? Here's Eric Schmidt.
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: Yesterday, I answered the Democrats' lies with the actual text
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: of the bill. Today, I rise to warn the body.
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: We're watching a nation decide whether or not it chooses
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: to exist. It won't happen overnight, but over time, this
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: is what happens. First comes the surrender of citizenship itself,
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: and that's Title I of the substitute that I've offered,
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: save American voters. We just endured four years of the
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: wildest open border in American history. Millions and millions and
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: millions and millions of military-aged men from 160 different countries
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: flooded into this nation while Democrats cheered diversity and equity.
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: Now those same Democrats have the audacity to claim that
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: simply asking people to prove that they're American citizens before
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: they register to vote is somehow voter suppression. Let me
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: translate what they're really saying. They want those people who
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: came here illegally to vote for them to suppress the
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: vote of actual Americans. They fear actual American citizens voting
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: more than they fear the fraud. American elections are for Americans.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: And we need safeguards. When I was Missouri's attorney general,
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: I stood in court and fought the left's dark money
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: lawyers to defend these very safeguards. Missouri fought back. We
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: didn't settle. We fought back and we won. The American
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: people deserve that same victory here. Because when citizenship becomes
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: optional at the ballot box, the republic itself becomes optional.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: This is existential. This is existential.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: The future of our constitutional republic is very much on
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: the line. Senator Schmidt is great. Thank you, Senator Schmidt.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: We salute you today.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: And he laid out the stakes really clearly, really starkly,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: which is we're losing our country. We have millions upon
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: millions of people who were just let in, military-age males.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: He's right about that.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: So not only do they threaten the sovereignty of your vote,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: they threaten the sovereignty of our nation. We've seen all
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: sorts of very violent chaos as a result of all
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: of this, communities being torn apart by it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely disgraceful.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Washington acts like this is just some minor inconvenience. Meanwhile,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: for the rest of us, it is a massive imposition.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: It is a deeply disruptive and destructive problem, crisis going
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: on in our country.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Remember when, oh, Josh, Josh, I was in my flow,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: but you're right. You're totally right. I forgot the gavel.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: We have the gavel. Thank you very much. We're gaveled
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: into the Save America Act.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, like, our borders really do matter. Now, thankfully,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the president has sealed them up. The president has absolutely
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: sealed them up, which is great news. But that'll only
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: last as long as this presidency. He's working on the
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: border wall right now. They should be done that before
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: his presidency concludes. We got the money for it. They
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: got the contract for it. The construction is starting right now,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: and the rest of that border wall will be done,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: they say, by early 2028. This will be before President
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Trump leaves office, thank goodness. That'll include water barriers, all
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: the things we need.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: But we need to protect our vote.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: What Eric Schmidt just described is a civil rights bill.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: This piece of legislation is the most important civil rights
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: legislation this century. We have to protect American votes. We
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: have to prevent them from being suppressed. by fraudsters, by
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: cheaters who shouldn't be in our elections. And so Eric
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Schmidt makes the case. Now, we've heard, what's interesting is
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: now that we've stretched on all week long, we started
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: this on Tuesday, it's now Friday. As we've stretched on
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: all week long through this debate, you're beginning to hear
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: some Democrats crying, or at least whimpering uncle a little bit.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: They want to get out of this. And so John
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Fetterman has said, well, I could support a voter ID bill.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: If it's just voter ID, I could support that. Chuck
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Schumer is now saying, well, Democrats support voter ID, he claims.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: And part of this is they're just looking at the
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: polling on the subject. They're finally acknowledging that every Democrat
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: supports voter ID.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Check this out. These are the numbers. These just came
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: to us from a CBS News poll this week. CBS News.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Do you favor or oppose requiring people to show valid
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: photo ID before they're permitted to vote?
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: 80% favor. That's in a CBS poll. Say that.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: 80%.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: 20% oppose. That adds up to 100.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Among Democrats, it's 65-35. In other words, it's a 30-point
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: margin in favor of voter ID. Now, among Republicans, it's 95-5.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know who the five are. Those must all
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: be like Thaum Tillis or something. But 95 to 5. Independence, 79-21.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: White people, 80-20. Black people, 80-20.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Hello. I'm sorry. I thought there was some big discrepancy here.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: There's supposed to be division here that black people don't
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: want voter ID laws. Black people want it as much
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: as white people do. Hispanics are at 77-23 right now.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: So everyone's virtually at 80, according to this CBS YouGov poll.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: So now you have Democrats paying lip service to it,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: at least. They're like, well, we would be okay with
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: a photo ID. Now, granted, Chuck Schumer's lying to you.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer's lying. He doesn't actually want a true authentication
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: for voters in any polling place in America. He's perfectly
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: happy with the whole operation being susceptible to fraud. But
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: this has formed the basis of a question to Mike
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Lee and others, which is like, hey, is there any
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: way you'd be willing to just do a photo ID bill?
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Here's what Mike Lee had to say about this yesterday.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Cut to rewatch.
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: Because of Senator Husted and his great idea on this,
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: they'll have their chance this afternoon to state their position
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: on that, state their position on whether to support that
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: and what they would do with the rest of it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: If your question to me is, would I walk away
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: from the rest of the bill and say, oh, OK, well,
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: we got this. Never mind.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: We're going to continue to push the rest of the legislation.
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: If we can get that passed separately. Fantastic. We'll focus
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: on the rest of the provisions. The two things are
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: necessary for different reasons. And there again, if somebody comes
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: up with a good faith productive suggestion about how we
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: could make those provisions better, I'm all ears. I'm open
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: to suggestions. But the freestanding independent concerns would remain. It
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: would be fantastic if we get this win. They shouldn't object.
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: They should allow this to become law. And I think
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: the country would be better off for it. And then
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: we could move on to the other items. But I'm
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: not going to walk away from the rest of it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: Because remember, the whole reason We're here. What started the
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: original SAVE Act was this realization of a confluence of
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: events and changes in law and the interpretation of law
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: over the last 33 years since NVRA was passed that
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: have resulted in 30 million plus non-citizens in the United States.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: All right. So you heard Mike Lee say, look, no,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: we're not we're not changing the bill right now. That's
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: not happening.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: We're sticking with the SAVE America Act. These guys should
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: get on board right now on this. We're not making
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: it just a photo ID bill. But you just heard
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: him say, well, there is Senator John Husted, Republican Senator
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: John Husted. He is going to be asking Democrats today
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: if they could just pass the photo ID portion by
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: unanimous consent. Unanimous consent meaning no objections. Just by unanimous consent,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: we'll pass the photo ID portion.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: You ready to do that, Democrats? You claim you are.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: You ready to do it? John Husted put him to
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the test yesterday. This is what it looked like on
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: the floor of the United States Senate.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 49:43
  Speaker 9: Madam President, showing a photo ID is common sense. The
• 49:46
  Speaker 9: American people support it by an 80-20 margin. And as
• 49:50
  Speaker 9: I've been saying for more than a decade and a half,
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: it is possible to make it both easy to vote
• 49:55
  Speaker 9: and hard to cheat, and we should make that a
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: national standard with a photo ID law that is easy
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: to implement and is proven effective. Passing voter ID requirements
• 50:07
  Speaker 9: is common sense.
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 50:09
  Speaker 9: And passing this provision that I offer tonight, that's part
• 50:12
  Speaker 9: of the Save America Act, is right for election integrity,
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: and it's the right thing to do for voter confidence,
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: and I urge a yes vote.
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: I want to thank my friend and distinguished colleague, this
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: senator from Ohio, for his observations, for his insights on this.
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: This is one of many true talents we.
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: Have in the Senate.
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: He's particularly well qualified in this area, given his experience
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: in the state of Ohio. with mastering the election laws
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: of that state and the federal election.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Laws that overlap.
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: With state election laws. I'm not sure there's anyone in
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: the Senate currently or who has ever served here who
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: has a greater knowledge of these laws and the way
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: that they intersect. For the same reasons articulated by the
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: senator from Ohio, I think this is an exceptionally good idea.
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: It's not every bill where it makes sense to separate
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: out a provision try to pass that provision on its own,
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: separate from the rest of the text of the bill.
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: But this is one of those instances where it makes sense. Now,
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: don't get me wrong, neither I nor the senator from
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: Ohio are suggesting that we still don't need the rest
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: of the Save America Act.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: That's not our point.
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: The point is that these are separately divisible, such that
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: they could be enacted separately. And insofar as there is
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: a greater degree of consensus with regard to the voter
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: ID component of the Save America Act than there are
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: with regard to the citizenship components. It makes sense for
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: us to get this done now. Let's pass it, let's
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: pass it right now. Let's pass it by unanimous consent.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Let's make this.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: Law and then we can proceed back to deal with
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: the rest of the issues within the Save America Act.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: This is what progress looks like. This is what consensus
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: building looks like. And I thank my friend and colleague
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: from Ohio for raising this. Look, no matter how you
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: feel about the rest of the provisions of the bill,
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: it's not too much. to ask somebody to just show
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: who they are when they show up on voting day.
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: That provision is very simple. Let's get this passed. Let's
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: get it done right now.
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: Madam President.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then guess what happened? They voted no. They
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: blocked it. Of course they did. They blocked it. We don't...
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Photo ID? No, we didn't actually mean it. And it's
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: not just Fetterman who said it. It was Chuck Schumer,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: the head of the Democrats in the Senate. Oh, we'd
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: be for photo ID. Yeah, we're totally for it. Okay,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: let's pass it with unanimous consent.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: No.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, you love fraud. You love fraud. They love
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: fraud more than we love America. And we love America.
• 52:50
  Speaker 9: It's amazing.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 52:53
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: So what else are the Democrats saying? Oh, you got this.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Here's Bernie Sanders. Bernie freaking Sanders says that the illegals
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: voting in our elections is fictional. This never happens.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: This is a problem that does not exist. It does
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: not exist anywhere. It's not an issue. I do not
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: know why we're even talking about this. Here's Bernie Sanders yesterday.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Come forward.
• 53:15
  Speaker 9: Watch.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: The country faces unprecedented crises. The United States Senate has
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: spent an entire week debating a problem that essentially does
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: not exist. The goal of the SAVE Act that is
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: on the floor right now is to make certain that
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: non-citizens do not vote in American elections. I don't know
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: that anyone disagrees with that. And the good news is
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: that non-citizens do not vote in American elections.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: All right, enough of this guy.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: He combed his hair with a balloon, then he came
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: out and he said that crazy crap. Here's proof positive
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: that Bernie Sanders is full of garbage.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: This is literally this past week.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: ICE arrests criminal illegal alien who voted in seven federal
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: elections since 2008.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: There's his mugshot.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: His name's Mahadi Sacco, and he registered to vote in Pennsylvania,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: illegal alien.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: He's voted seven times. I'm sorry.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: It's so easy to disprove the nonsense that comes out
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: of the mouths of these left-wingers. But, you know, he
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: was holding the floor and nobody could say anything yesterday.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I just wish somebody was in there to yell Mahadi Sacco.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: What about Mahadi Sacco? Yeah, Mahadi Sacco.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Voting seven times illegally, of course, in Philadelphia. You know,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: it never happens except for when it does, obviously.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: That's the exception. When it does happen, it happens. But
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: other than that, it never happens.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: The other good news here on the Save America Act
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: while we're on the subject is the Senate is going
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: to work through the weekend this weekend. The Washington Times
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: reports that the Senate is going to debate all weekend
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: long this legislation. John Thune said on Thursday, yesterday, that
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: he will be using the cloture process to attempt to
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: bring at least one amendment to a vote this weekend.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: But he didn't say which one. A source familiar with
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: the process told The Washington Times it's probably going to
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: be the ban on transgender athletes from playing in women's sports.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: In other words, men playing in women's sports. That'll be
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: one of the first cloture votes we see on this subject.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Will it get 60? Will Democrats....
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Vote to stop men from interfering in women's sports? Pretty
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: sure you and I both know the answer is no.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: They're perfectly comfortable with cheating at all levels, both in
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: elections and in women's sports. But that'll be put to
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: the test very likely this weekend. As the Senate will, unbelievable,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: they'll be working through the weekend.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Isn't that, here's a sound effect. What a shock. It'll
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: work through the weekend. Yeah, it's not going to be intense, though.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Come on, let's be serious.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're going to take big breaks
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: for their naps and their fancy lunches.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be like an end-to-end Mr.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Smith goes to Washington deal at all. Although it should be. Remember,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Rachel Bovard joined us on the show this week. You
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: know what these guys should be doing? Exhaust these Democrats.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Make them stand there until they fall over. Exhaust them.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: You actually want to pass this thing? The tyranny of
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: exhaustion is the way to do it. That's the way
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: to do it. Maybe a little Chinese water torture or something.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Little droplets of water on Bernie Sanders' head until they
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: pass the Save America Act.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Whatever it takes, get it done. That's all we're asking.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: We're asking for you to do your job. The pressure
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: is on.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: And no audience, I'm telling you right now, no audience
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: has put more pressure on the United States Senate than
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: None. Thank you for that. It's been a big deal.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: A very big deal.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Some final pieces for you as we end today. A
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: little bit of a Ron update for you. Two big
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: moments yesterday, two big clips I want to share with you. One,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: did you see Margaret Brennan yesterday crapping on Pete Hegseth
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: for praying for the troops, praying in the name.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Of Jesus for the troops? What was this? What was
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: this idiocy yesterday?
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan She said, the Secretary of Defense tells the
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: American people to pray for our troops on bended knee
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: and invokes Jesus's name. And then she puts four periods
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: at the end, an ellipsis, four periods long, to really
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: emphasize that she's.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Aghast at this. I can't believe this. The Secretary of
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Defense would invoke Jesus and say, pray for the troops.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Now, you'd have to know literally nothing about America's founding
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: or her founders to think that this is scandalous. You'd
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: have to really have contempt for the majority of your
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: country to think that this is scandalous. Most Americans, in fact,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: not only agree with this, but are enthusiastic to hear
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: a government official say those words out loud. Here's what
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Pete Hagseth actually said yesterday. Here are the offending remarks
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: that ticked off Margaret Brennan.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 58:28
  Speaker 10: So to the families who said, finish this, we will.
• 58:33
  Speaker 10: And I say the same to every American who wants
• 58:36
  Speaker 10: peace through strength. May Almighty God continue to bless our
• 58:41
  Speaker 10: troops in this fight. And again, to the American people,
• 58:44
  Speaker 10: please pray for them every day on bended knee with
• 58:51
  Speaker 10: your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the
• 58:55
  Speaker 10: name of Jesus Christ. To the troops, keep going. And Godspeed.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: That was so nice what a breath of fresh air
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Of course Margaret Brennan is crapping on it. How sad.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: How utterly sad. Thank you to the Secretary of War
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: for saying that. And definitely pray for the troops. His
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: advice is well taken. It's very well taken. We end
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: today on a lighter moment. The left is angry about this, too.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Margaret Brennan was upset. But did you see
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States with the Japanese prime
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: minister yesterday?
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Did you see this moment?
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: A member of the Japanese press was in the Oval
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: Office yesterday as the two world leaders were doing a
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: bilateral together. And the president very graciously said, well, how
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: about somebody from the Japanese press ask a question? And
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I won't do any more setup here. I just want
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: you to hear the exchange. Here's a member of the
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Japanese press asking the president of the United States about
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: the war in Iran.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 7: Japan and the U.S. are very good friends. But one question,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 7: why didn't you tell U.S. allies in Europe and Asia,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 7: like Japan, about the war before attacking Iran? So we
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: are very confused about Japanese systems.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: Well, one thing you don't want to signal too much.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: You know, when we go in, we went in very
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: hard And we didn't tell anybody about it, because we
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan?
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: Okay?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: You know, he's asking me. Now, you believe in surprise,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: I think, much more so than us. And we had
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: a surprise, and we did. And because of that surprise,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: we knocked out— the first two days, we probably knocked
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: out 50 percent of what we And much more than
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: we anticipated doing. So if I go and tell everybody
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: about it, there's no longer a surprise.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Who knows more about surprise than Japan? How come you
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: didn't tell me about Pearl Harbor?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, yesterday, it was Jake Tapper was fact-checking this.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: He goes, the Japanese prime minister wasn't even born when
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor happened.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, Trump meant it. Trump meant that why didn't
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: someone call him? Trump wasn't alive. This whole thing is
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: so stupid. The guy is unstoppable. He's just unstoppable. That's
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: natural comedy, by the way. That was crowd work. That
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: was unreal.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: That was super funny. The media really pissed off about
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: this today. I was laughing last night. I'm going through
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: headlines last night, you know, prepping for the show. And
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: I'm looking, look at this.

  Speaker 1: a Pearl Harbor joke, you know?
• 1:02:23

• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: The whole Trump presidency is going to go by and
