- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Vince. On a Monday, we've got
- 0:02Speaker 1: big breaking news for you. The Vice President of the
- 0:04Speaker 1: United States just speaking to us from Switzerland, giving us
- 0:08Speaker 1: an update on marathon negotiations with the Iranians, historic conversations happening.
- 0:15Speaker 1: And the Vice President says, lots of progress. Does it
- 0:18Speaker 1: mean this thing is anywhere near over? No, but they're
- 0:21Speaker 1: building the foundation. We'll get to the details of what
- 0:23Speaker 1: we just learned And if you're an American farmer, why
- 0:26Speaker 1: you should be overjoyed by the news we're getting this morning.
- 0:30Speaker 1: A lot to discuss. Also, updates on the Save America Act,
- 0:33Speaker 1: the resistance in the establishment and the push by great
- 0:36Speaker 1: American patriots like you and like Senator Mike Lee. I've
- 0:39Speaker 1: got updates on that subject and so much more all
- 0:42Speaker 1: ahead on yet another breaking news edition. of this program. Vince,
- 0:46Speaker 1: great to have you with us. There's always the best
- 0:48Speaker 1: audience anywhere. We've got a great sponsor to start us
- 0:51Speaker 1: off today that helps power me up each day, Native
- 0:54Speaker 1: Path College. And ladies and gentlemen, if you're not on
- 0:56Speaker 1: Native Path College and yet, you should really try it.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Because you see, getting older is not the thing that
- 1:01Speaker 1: bothers me. I doubt it bothers you. It's the feeling
- 1:04Speaker 1: older that bothers us. It's the little things. Maybe you're
- 1:08Speaker 1: waking up stiff, or your skin's not bouncing back the
- 1:10Speaker 1: same way. It turns out there's a reason for that.
- 1:12Speaker 1: This is why you'll love Native Path College, and it's
- 1:14Speaker 1: why I do. Collagen helps support everything from joints and
- 1:18Speaker 1: bones to skin and hair. The problem is after age 30,
- 1:21Speaker 1: your body often makes less collagen every year. And by
- 1:24Speaker 1: age 60, so many people have lost about half of it.
- 1:27Speaker 1: But native path collagen helps to replenish that protein and
- 1:30Speaker 1: help support the parts of your body that help you
- 1:32Speaker 1: stay active, vital, and more like yourself. And another thing
- 1:36Speaker 1: I love about native path, if you don't feel a
- 1:38Speaker 1: real difference in your health, you're going to get your
- 1:41Speaker 1: money back. I'm telling you, though, I think you're going
- 1:44Speaker 1: to feel a difference. I have felt the difference immediately.
- 1:47Speaker 1: No questions asked. They're going to take care of you
- 1:48Speaker 1: if you need your money back. Give it a try. Plus,
- 1:50Speaker 1: I get you over 50% off free shipping. Go to getnativepath.com

- 2:09Speaker 2: Boom.
- 2:13Speaker 1: The vice president of the United States just given us
- 2:16Speaker 1: an update from Switzerland. And he says Iran has agreed
- 2:19Speaker 1: to the beginning of this process. And that means allowing
- 2:22Speaker 1: IAEA inspectors, international inspectors, to show up and examine whatever
- 2:28Speaker 1: their nuclear program looks like right now. Cut one. Watch
- 2:32Speaker 1: the vice president.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Yesterday was a very, very good day. We made a
- 2:36Speaker 3: lot of good progress. We did exactly what we wanted
- 2:39Speaker 3: to do. which has accomplished four things for the American people. First,
- 2:44Speaker 3: we wanted to build a mechanism for keeping the Strait
- 2:47Speaker 3: of Hormuz open.
- 2:48Speaker 1: It is open.
- 2:49Speaker 3: We've seen, of course, gas prices and oil prices come down,
- 2:52Speaker 3: millions and millions of barrels of crude and natural gas
- 2:56Speaker 3: flowing through the Strait of Hormuz that weren't flowing before.
- 2:59Speaker 3: But we also wanted to make sure that we actually
- 3:01Speaker 3: set up the coordination mechanism so that we could demine
- 3:04Speaker 3: the Straits of Hormuz so that when there are the
- 3:06Speaker 3: conflicts that inevitably come up, we can make sure we
- 3:09Speaker 3: work through them rather than that leading to escalation. And
- 3:12Speaker 3: that is exactly what we did yesterday. Number two, we
- 3:16Speaker 3: also wanted to build a mechanism, a similar mechanism, for
- 3:19Speaker 3: deconfliction for the regional ceasefire. As the President of the
- 3:22Speaker 3: United States has himself said, sometimes these ceasefires just mean
- 3:26Speaker 3: you're shooting a little bit less, but we wanted to
- 3:28Speaker 3: make sure that we had the proper coordination set up.
- 3:31Speaker 3: So that if there is shooting, if Hezbollah fires at
- 3:34Speaker 3: Israel or if Israel responds, if there are other conflicts
- 3:37Speaker 3: that arise in the region, we're actually talking to each
- 3:40Speaker 3: other and figuring out how to stop the shooting, how
- 3:43Speaker 3: to make the region safer, our allies and everybody else.
- 3:47Speaker 1: We set that up as well.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Number three, we, and this is probably what we're most
- 3:52Speaker 3: excited about as Americans, the Iranians have agreed to invite
- 3:56Speaker 3: IAEA inspectors back into their country. That is a major
- 4:00Speaker 3: milestone for the American people and the first step in
- 4:03Speaker 3: permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Okay, so we got a couple of big items there.
- 4:14Speaker 1: The first being the Strait of Hormuz being open, a
- 4:17Speaker 1: deconfliction line being set up so the United States and
- 4:20Speaker 1: Iran can talk to each other in order to keep
- 4:22Speaker 1: that Strait clear and free as they work on demining
- 4:26Speaker 1: over the next 30 days. And of course, these negotiations
- 4:29Speaker 1: over the next 60. The vice president describing all of
- 4:31Speaker 1: this as building the foundation of a house. They're not
- 4:34Speaker 1: building the whole house yet. This is just about building
- 4:37Speaker 1: that foundation. Where do we start? This is square one.
- 4:40Speaker 1: We've also got the announcement about Lebanon, a deconfliction line
- 4:45Speaker 1: for Lebanon. Lebanon is, of course, where this Iranian terror
- 4:48Speaker 1: proxy Hezbollah is based. They keep firing all sorts of
- 4:52Speaker 1: missiles and drones in the direction of Israel. And Israel
- 4:55Speaker 1: is responding in kind. Israel's been trying to defend itself
- 4:58Speaker 1: against these deranged terrorists over and over and over again. Again,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and so what they're trying to set up here is
- 5:06Speaker 1: a communication line to try and bring down the tensions
- 5:09Speaker 1: in the region, to try and calm these things down
- 5:12Speaker 1: and get Hezbollah to stop attacking Israel. You heard the
- 5:15Speaker 1: vice president wisely say it there. It's not Israel that's
- 5:18Speaker 1: initiating attacks. It's Israel that's responding to these attacks. He
- 5:22Speaker 1: wants all of them to stop. They've set up new
- 5:24Speaker 1: lines of communication there. in order to do that. And
- 5:27Speaker 1: then the IAEA going in, this will be, this is
- 5:30Speaker 1: a big announcement because this is one year ago today
- 5:33Speaker 1: was Operation Midnight Hammer. As the Trump administration sends in
- 5:37Speaker 1: the military, we destroy their entire nuclear program. And now
- 5:42Speaker 1: to pick up the pieces of it, we've got the IAEA,
- 5:45Speaker 1: an announcement today, they'll begin going into the country. And
- 5:48Speaker 1: they're working on the mechanisms for that right now. In fact,
- 5:51Speaker 1: Vice President Vance said, that they were calling last night
- 5:54Speaker 1: as these negotiations went all day long. There was all
- 5:58Speaker 1: sorts of misreporting on this subject. Oh, it only happened
- 6:00Speaker 1: for like 90 minutes. It was hours upon hours upon
- 6:03Speaker 1: hours that these teams were meeting. And they tried to
- 6:05Speaker 1: actually call some of the IAEA inspectors in the middle
- 6:08Speaker 1: of the night last night. I think Vice President Vance
- 6:11Speaker 1: said it was like 4 a.m. in the morning. wherever
- 6:13Speaker 1: they are. And they didn't answer their phones yet. So
- 6:17Speaker 1: maybe today they get them on the phone and we
- 6:18Speaker 1: can start getting these guys into Iran and get a
- 6:21Speaker 1: closer look, human eyes on what the hell's going on
- 6:25Speaker 1: there in terms of their nuclear program. Having said that,
- 6:27Speaker 1: I want to remind you about something. We have sterling
- 6:30Speaker 1: intelligence on the state of their nuclear program anyway. The
- 6:35Speaker 1: administration knows with 100% certainty, that's what a senior administration
- 6:39Speaker 1: official told me, 100% certainty where this nuclear material is
- 6:45Speaker 1: all being kept. They say it's in three locations, that
- 6:47Speaker 1: there was a fourth location, people often refer to it
- 6:50Speaker 1: as pickaxe, that was being built up, but it doesn't
- 6:54Speaker 1: contain any nuclear material. And the administration has utter confidence
- 6:58Speaker 1: on that subject. So, again, we have their number. And
- 7:00Speaker 1: the president of the United States said last week, we're
- 7:03Speaker 1: watching every doorway. If some dude with the name tag
- 7:05Speaker 1: that says Mohammed and he goes, that's about a 50-50 chance.
- 7:08Speaker 1: If Mohammed shows up at one of these doors, we
- 7:10Speaker 1: could just kill him. So we know what's going on.
- 7:13Speaker 1: So don't try and screw with us. And we're going
- 7:14Speaker 1: to send IAEA inspectors in for a deeper look at.
- 7:18Speaker 1: the specifics at each of these sites. So big announcements
- 7:22Speaker 1: today from the Vice President of the United States. And
- 7:24Speaker 1: it's funny because if you paid attention to the headlines
- 7:28Speaker 1: over the weekend, as the media was becoming completely hysterical
- 7:31Speaker 1: about all of this, you had all this conversation about, oh,
- 7:35Speaker 1: there's an exchange of fire going on in Lebanon again.
- 7:38Speaker 1: The Iranians claim that the Strait of Hormuz is shut down.
- 7:41Speaker 1: The Trump administration says it's not shut down. And it
- 7:44Speaker 1: was just utter chaos. A lot of this is the
- 7:47Speaker 1: product of the media being far too credulous about statements
- 7:51Speaker 1: that come out of Iran's state media. The Iranian state
- 7:55Speaker 1: media is nothing but just a constant stream of propaganda.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And in the United States, of course, we have propagandists
- 8:02Speaker 1: in our media as well, but they're not state propagandists,
- 8:05Speaker 1: or at least for now, as President Trump's in office.
- 8:07Speaker 1: They're fighting back against President Trump in our agenda constantly,
- 8:11Speaker 1: which is why it's not a surprise that they're credulously
- 8:13Speaker 1: repeating the talking points of Iran to make it seem
- 8:15Speaker 1: like President Trump is playing with some sort of losing hand.
- 8:18Speaker 1: The reality is that Iran is full of bluster. All
- 8:22Speaker 1: they do is bluster. They constantly say that they've defeated
- 8:25Speaker 1: us and they've beat us and they've pulled one over
- 8:28Speaker 1: on us. And it's just nonsense. And it's funny because
- 8:31Speaker 1: as you watch Vice President Vance's demeanor change, He is
- 8:34Speaker 1: totally unflappable on the subject. He's like, yeah, yeah, whatever. OK,
- 8:37Speaker 1: but the point is you're going to do everything we want.
- 8:40Speaker 1: That's the point. In fact, the vice president did allude
- 8:43Speaker 1: to the, quote, trash talk that the the Iranians have
- 8:47Speaker 1: been doing. And he just laughed it off. He says
- 8:49Speaker 1: we millennials call that trash talk. Listen to this cut.
- 8:51Speaker 3: To what we told the Iranians yesterday is when you
- 8:55Speaker 3: guys engage in what us millennials might call trash talk.
- 8:59Speaker 3: you can't expect the President of the United States not
- 9:01Speaker 3: to respond and not to correct the record. So when
- 9:03Speaker 3: they say things that aren't true, the President is going
- 9:06Speaker 3: to respond to it. I'm going to respond to it.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Americans are going to respond to it. When they make
- 9:11Speaker 3: threats that aren't rooted in reality, they have to accept
- 9:14Speaker 3: that the President of the United States is actually going
- 9:16Speaker 3: to set the record straight.
- 9:18Speaker 1: That's all that happened.
- 9:19Speaker 3: So yes, there was a little bit of threatening, there
- 9:21Speaker 3: was a little bit of whining, but at the end
- 9:22Speaker 3: of the day, the talks continued and we made great progress.
- 9:25Speaker 1: A little threatening, a little whining, but no big deal.
- 9:28Speaker 1: We kept the negotiations running. It is funny, though, because
- 9:31Speaker 1: the Iranians were accusing President Trump of violating the memorandum
- 9:35Speaker 1: of understanding when, of course, it was the Iranians who
- 9:38Speaker 1: were getting all bluster. We're shutting down the street. You
- 9:40Speaker 1: guys are the worst. We're going to end everything. And
- 9:43Speaker 1: the president said, you shut that down. I'm going to
- 9:45Speaker 1: kill you. How about that? Here's the president this week
- 9:47Speaker 1: and cut for an assessment of what the president told
- 9:50Speaker 1: Fox's Trey Yankst. Watch this.
- 9:54Speaker 4: For more than 20 minutes and he gave in the future,
- 10:11Speaker 4: if they have to, and collect tolls. The president described
- 10:15Speaker 4: this as the United States being the guardian angel of
- 10:18Speaker 4: the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East. And the
- 10:21Speaker 4: president said, ultimately, that would involve the U.S. taking 20%
- 10:25Speaker 4: of the oil that passes through the strait. Remember, this
- 10:27Speaker 4: comes in reaction to the Iranians saying they will close
- 10:31Speaker 4: the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli strikes against
- 10:35Speaker 4: Hezbollah in Lebanon. President Trump tells Fox News he spoke
- 10:38Speaker 4: with Iranian officials overnight and said, you close it and
- 10:43Speaker 4: you won't have a country. He went on to tell
- 10:45Speaker 4: these officials, you won't even make it back to your
- 10:48Speaker 4: effing country. Now, earlier today, Iran's president, Massoud Pazeshkin, said
- 10:53Speaker 4: this about Iranian enrichment of uranium. The president also reacting
- 10:57Speaker 4: to that.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Take a listen.
- 10:58Speaker 5: We will not give up our right to enrichment. And they, too,
- 11:03Speaker 5: will be forced to accept it. You all know what
- 11:06Speaker 5: the so-called president of the United States was saying. He
- 11:10Speaker 5: had made a complete 100-degree turn. He was saying that
- 11:14Speaker 5: Iran must surrender unconditionally. Iran has no right to do this.
- 11:18Speaker 5: It has no right to do that.
- 11:23Speaker 4: President Trump, during our call, responded directly to those comments
- 11:26Speaker 4: by Iranian President Massoud Poseshkin. President Trump told Fox News,
- 11:30Speaker 4: he better watch his mouth, he better shape up, or
- 11:33Speaker 4: we'll take over the rest of the country. And so clearly,
- 11:36Speaker 4: the president reacting directly to these comments from Iran's president,
- 11:40Speaker 4: Massoud Poseshkin. And also, President Trump talked about the broader
- 11:43Speaker 4: memorandum of understanding. indicating this is just a ceasefire extension.
- 11:47Speaker 4: This is not the final deal with the Iranian regime.
- 11:50Speaker 4: And the president says he holds the cards and maintains
- 11:53Speaker 4: a variety of options if the Iranians don't make these
- 11:56Speaker 4: serious commitments at the negotiating table. He said, I have
- 11:58Speaker 4: a 60-day option and I can do whatever I want
- 12:01Speaker 4: after that option. So again, President Trump leaving a variety
- 12:05Speaker 4: of considerations on the table and says that the United
- 12:08Speaker 4: States could become the guardian angel of the Strait of
- 12:12Speaker 4: Hormuz and collect tolls itself while taking oil, around 20%,
- 12:18Speaker 4: the president says. As it relates to oil, President Trump
- 12:20Speaker 4: also said that 19 million barrels of crude oil exited
- 12:24Speaker 4: the Persian Gulf yesterday as a result of this memorandum
- 12:28Speaker 4: of understanding with the Iranians.
- 12:31Speaker 1: I love everything about this. It just reminds me, you
- 12:34Speaker 1: remember the Iranians like, we're shutting down the strait. He goes,
- 12:37Speaker 1: you're shutting down the strait? How about this? How about
- 12:39Speaker 1: I'm shutting down the strait? I'll shut down the strait.
- 12:41Speaker 1: How do you like that? The Iranians are like, what?
- 12:44Speaker 1: I didn't expect you to. Yeah, no, I shut it down. Now,
- 12:46Speaker 1: nobody can get in or out of your ports. And
- 12:48Speaker 1: that is actually what got Iran to the damn negotiating
- 12:51Speaker 1: table in the first place, because we were moving oil anyway.
- 12:54Speaker 1: We were shutting down all of the movement to and
- 12:57Speaker 1: from Iranian ports. Every time a ship tried to move
- 12:59Speaker 1: either in or out, we just blew up its engine room.
- 13:02Speaker 1: And Iran, well, they got the message. They got the message.
- 13:06Speaker 1: And here Iran's like, well, we're going to shut down
- 13:07Speaker 1: the Strait. And he's like, you know, you're not doing that.
- 13:09Speaker 1: In fact, if you cause more trouble, I'm going to
- 13:11Speaker 1: take over the whole damn Strait. And then we're just
- 13:13Speaker 1: going to collect a 20% fee on all the oil
- 13:15Speaker 1: that moves through it. How about that? So do you
- 13:19Speaker 1: notice what's going on here? The president sends his trusted
- 13:22Speaker 1: emissary to Switzerland. That's J.D. Vance to handle this.
- 13:27Speaker 2: J.D.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Vance goes there. And he's handling it. He's doing a
- 13:30Speaker 1: great job with these marathon negotiations. Meanwhile, back here in
- 13:33Speaker 1: the United States, as Iran is doing its nonstop public blustering,
- 13:38Speaker 1: President Trump goes, how about this? You're not going to
- 13:41Speaker 1: make it back to your effing country if you dare
- 13:44Speaker 1: close the strait. So how about don't do that? And
- 13:47Speaker 1: tell you what, I'm even going to take 20 percent
- 13:49Speaker 1: of the oil that goes through it if I decide
- 13:51Speaker 1: to start tolling it. So what we have right now
- 13:54Speaker 1: is a unified strategy from the administration, but you got
- 13:57Speaker 1: a good cop, bad cop routine going on. As the
- 14:00Speaker 1: president is working every angle to try and turn this
- 14:03Speaker 1: into a fruitful negotiation. It's fascinating to watch. Art of
- 14:07Speaker 1: the deal stuff. And really, really, really cool to see. Now,
- 14:10Speaker 1: speaking of the art of the deal, the vice president
- 14:13Speaker 1: also made another major announcement this morning. You know, all
- 14:16Speaker 1: these Iranian assets that the media is fear mongering over. Oh,
- 14:19Speaker 1: they're going to unfreeze it. They're going to let them
- 14:20Speaker 1: fund terror. First of all, at this point, if you
- 14:23Speaker 1: think that the Trump administration is in the mood to
- 14:26Speaker 1: allow the Iranians to fund terror, you're a moron. Let
- 14:29Speaker 1: me be crystal clear about this, just in case anybody
- 14:32Speaker 1: missed it. You're a moron if you think Donald Trump
- 14:34Speaker 1: is trying to fund terrorism. Now, what are they actually
- 14:38Speaker 1: trying to do?
- 14:39Speaker 3: Well, J.D.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Vance said this morning, in order to prevent terrorism from
- 14:43Speaker 1: taking place, if we at any point decide we actually
- 14:48Speaker 1: are going to unfreeze Iranian funds, that money is going
- 14:51Speaker 1: to be used, you ready? to purchase American farm products.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Listen to this.
- 14:58Speaker 3: I've seen some misreporting about frozen or unfrozen Iranian assets.
- 15:03Speaker 3: One of the other things that we wanted to do,
- 15:05Speaker 3: and it wasn't as high of a priority for us
- 15:07Speaker 3: for obvious reasons, but we wanted to make sure that
- 15:09Speaker 3: we set up a process where if, if we ever
- 15:13Speaker 3: unfreeze Iranian assets, we can ensure that that money, that
- 15:18Speaker 3: Iranian money, goes to help the people of Iran and
- 15:22Speaker 3: not to fund terrorism. So Jared Kushner actually came up
- 15:25Speaker 3: with a very interesting solution with the Qataris where basically, again, if,
- 15:30Speaker 3: there is any frozen Iranian assets that are unfrozen, then
- 15:36Speaker 3: we have approval over that process, the Qataris have approval
- 15:39Speaker 3: over that process, and then the money would actually go
- 15:43Speaker 3: to buy American soy, American corn, and American wheat for
- 15:48Speaker 3: the benefit of the Iranian people. And as much as
- 15:50Speaker 3: I see some of the press misreporting on this, and
- 15:53Speaker 3: of course, you know, buttressed by what the Iranians are saying,
- 15:56Speaker 3: or not all Iranians, I want to be clear, there
- 15:58Speaker 3: are a lot of Iranians who are telling the truth
- 16:00Speaker 3: about what happened yesterday, but you see some social media
- 16:02Speaker 3: reporting that gets this wrong. But fundamentally, What Jared and
- 16:07Speaker 3: the Qataris and the entire team here in Bergenstock accomplished is,
- 16:10Speaker 3: to me, a classic Trump deal, where if Iranian assets
- 16:15Speaker 3: are ever unfrozen, they're going to go to make American
- 16:18Speaker 3: farmers richer and to feed the Iranian people. That's a very,
- 16:23Speaker 3: very good and very classic Trump deal that's great for
- 16:26Speaker 3: our people, great for the people of Iran.
- 16:29Speaker 1: I love this. I love it so much. Remember last
- 16:31Speaker 1: week we were talking about the president of the United
- 16:34Speaker 1: States was asked a question about why didn't we just
- 16:36Speaker 1: take the money? Why are we unfreezing these assets? Why
- 16:39Speaker 1: didn't we just seize all of that money and just
- 16:42Speaker 1: use it in the United States of America? And the
- 16:45Speaker 1: president said, because, you know, as he talked about this
- 16:47Speaker 1: with Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, very much an idea that
- 16:50Speaker 1: he would be intrigued by. He said, the fundamental thing
- 16:54Speaker 1: is we're trying to protect the status of the dollar
- 16:56Speaker 1: as the global reserve currency. And so money that we
- 16:59Speaker 1: freeze or sanctioned If we decide to just take it
- 17:02Speaker 1: and then use it for ourselves, then without any sort
- 17:06Speaker 1: of recourse to the country from which we took it,
- 17:09Speaker 1: that could imperil the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Countries will accelerate what we call de-dollarization. He doesn't want
- 17:17Speaker 1: to do that. Scott Besson doesn't want to do that.
- 17:19Speaker 1: That's wise. But they came up with a very clever
- 17:22Speaker 1: arrangement here, which is basically like the money needs to
- 17:25Speaker 1: go to the Iranian people. We're going to give you
- 17:27Speaker 1: back the value that's frozen. if you comply with our
- 17:33Speaker 1: efforts to denuclearize your country. But the way we're going
- 17:36Speaker 1: to give you that value back is in the form
- 17:38Speaker 1: of food assistance purchased from American farmers, soy, corn, wheat,
- 17:46Speaker 1: and then all of that agricultural product goes to Iranian
- 17:50Speaker 1: people who need it. It's a brilliant construction that J.D.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Vance said they were able to secure in these negotiations
- 18:00Speaker 1: over the last 24 hours. Fascinating. And my guess is
- 18:04Speaker 1: that American farmers are going to take this as very,
- 18:06Speaker 1: very welcome news. Also, as a political point, you know,
- 18:11Speaker 1: as they try and wind down the status of the
- 18:13Speaker 1: war and turn this into some sort of peaceful period,
- 18:15Speaker 1: if they can succeed here. And again, it's heavily conditioned
- 18:18Speaker 1: on if they can succeed. I love that people were like,
- 18:22Speaker 1: like coming at me like, Vince, how could you believe
- 18:24Speaker 1: that this deal is going to work?
- 18:25Speaker 6: This is terrible.
- 18:26Speaker 1: It's not a deal. It's a memorandum of understanding. They're
- 18:29Speaker 1: literally negotiating a deal. Keep cool, my babies. They're working
- 18:34Speaker 1: on it. The president of the United States is trying
- 18:35Speaker 1: to get the best possible outcome for everybody. And the
- 18:38Speaker 1: best possible outcome here would be peace in the Middle East.
- 18:41Speaker 1: The lunatics stop attacking Israel. That Israel can get new
- 18:45Speaker 1: Abraham Accords with Arab allies in the region. They can
- 18:48Speaker 1: work on security together. The United States can focus much
- 18:51Speaker 1: more on its own domestic concerns. We can lower the
- 18:54Speaker 1: cost of everything. We can get global energy production way up.
- 18:58Speaker 1: We can sell more American farm goods. Guys, if President
- 19:03Speaker 1: Trump can pull this off, it will be the ultimate
- 19:05Speaker 1: deal ever achieved. It's an amazing, an amazing thing. And
- 19:12Speaker 1: if he didn't believe that this was possible, he wouldn't
- 19:14Speaker 1: be bothering. He does believe it's possible, which is why
- 19:17Speaker 1: he's bothering. It's why they're doing it right now. Keep cool,
- 19:20Speaker 1: my babies. Keep cool.
- 19:21Speaker 3: Keep cool.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Keep cool. Keep cool, my babies. It's an amazing thing.
- 19:27Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing. So that's really good. Is there
- 19:31Speaker 1: anything else here, Josh, from J.D. Vance's press conference? We
- 19:33Speaker 1: have one more clip here. I think we do. Yeah, okay.
- 19:39Speaker 1: This is J.D. Vance yesterday. This is J.D. Vance yesterday
- 19:42Speaker 1: in Switzerland in the midst of these negotiations. And here's
- 19:46Speaker 1: some of the remarks he made to the media. Watch this.
- 19:49Speaker 3: I think it's important for the American people, but people
- 19:52Speaker 3: all over the world to appreciate that what's brought us
- 19:54Speaker 3: to this moment is the president's leadership and the president's
- 19:58Speaker 3: willingness to see a Middle East that is much different
- 20:00Speaker 3: 10 years from now than it was 10 years ago.
- 20:03Speaker 3: And what we're trying to accomplish here is something very simple.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Through diplomacy, through working together, to transform the Middle East,
- 20:11Speaker 3: where Iran and the Gulf have been at war with
- 20:15Speaker 3: each other, or at least have had very unfriendly relations,
- 20:18Speaker 3: where Iran has been a driver of regional instability. Now
- 20:23Speaker 3: we see a future where everybody can work together to
- 20:27Speaker 3: promote peace and prosperity for everyone. What we have already
- 20:31Speaker 3: seen back home in the United States is lower gas prices.
- 20:35Speaker 3: We've seen the free flow of oil and gas.
- 20:38Speaker 1: We've seen peace.
- 20:39Speaker 3: And now we're trying to build on that to see
- 20:41Speaker 3: if we can build something even better and more.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Sustainable for the future. This is a historic meeting.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Never before outside of Islamabad and here, so outside the
- 20:52Speaker 3: last few months, never before has the Iranian and American
- 20:56Speaker 3: leadership met at such a high level. What the president
- 21:00Speaker 3: has asked us to do is turn over a new
- 21:02Speaker 3: leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran
- 21:06Speaker 3: and to extend an outstretched hand that says to the
- 21:09Speaker 3: people of Iran that if your leadership is willing to
- 21:12Speaker 3: give up being a driver of regional instability, If they
- 21:15Speaker 3: are willing to give up nuclear weapons ambitions for the
- 21:18Speaker 3: long term, then the United States is willing to fundamentally
- 21:21Speaker 3: transform our relationship with that country.
- 21:23Speaker 1: That is certainly our goal.
- 21:25Speaker 3: We've already made great progress over just the last few hours,
- 21:28Speaker 3: and I expect that we'll make additional progress in the
- 21:31Speaker 3: hours to come.
- 21:32Speaker 7: Thank you all.
- 21:33Speaker 1: It's a big thing. Kamala could never. Kamala doesn't even
- 21:36Speaker 1: know where Iran is, let's be honest. She's just mindless.
- 21:41Speaker 1: I mean, what a difference a vice president makes. In
- 21:44Speaker 1: fact- I there's a let me see if I have it.
- 21:47Speaker 1: There was a crazy Kamala clip. Oh, yeah, this is it.
- 21:51Speaker 1: This is it. Josh did not know I was going
- 21:52Speaker 1: to do this. But that's that's the nature of the show.
- 21:55Speaker 1: We change moment to moment. Here's Kamala on with Don
- 21:58Speaker 1: Lamont just in the last few days. Look at the
- 22:01Speaker 1: babbling nonsense. Imagine this woman trying to negotiate global peace.
- 22:05Speaker 6: I really, truly believe this. We each have have light
- 22:09Speaker 6: inside of us. And we need to know that that
- 22:13Speaker 6: is what inspires our hope as much as anything external
- 22:17Speaker 6: to ourselves. And when we feel that and not allow
- 22:22Speaker 6: an election or an individual to dampen that light and
- 22:27Speaker 6: instead let that light kind of carry us in particular
- 22:31Speaker 6: moments of darkness, that we not only act on that hope,
- 22:37Speaker 6: but we inspire that hope in each other. And in particular,
- 22:42Speaker 6: at this moment, it is so important that we not
- 22:47Speaker 6: only have hope, but that we understand that that should
- 22:51Speaker 6: be a verb.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I love I love Don Lamont. Look at him. His face.
- 23:00Speaker 1: He has no idea what she's even saying.
- 23:02Speaker 2: You know.
- 23:03Speaker 1: This is like, I envision him in that like scene
- 23:06Speaker 1: from Airplane where she just won't shut up and he
- 23:09Speaker 1: just starts pouring gasoline all over himself so he can
- 23:11Speaker 1: light himself on fire. What a difference. The Iranians, dude,
- 23:21Speaker 1: if Kamala was in a meeting with the Iranians, they
- 23:23Speaker 1: would detonate their suicide vests right there. They'd be like,
- 23:26Speaker 1: I can't take this anymore. You know, in a way
- 23:32Speaker 1: that might solve the problem, actually. Maybe we should deploy Kamala.
- 23:35Speaker 1: We'll think about it some more. Let the VP think
- 23:39Speaker 1: about that. All right, more ahead on this edition of Vince,
- 23:42Speaker 1: including some of the naysayers back here in the United
- 23:44Speaker 1: States who are attacking President Trump and Vice President Vance
- 23:47Speaker 1: for even trying to secure peace. We'll get to that
- 23:51Speaker 1: in just a moment. But first, Fast Growing Trees is

- 25:09Speaker 1: I do wonder, what if we deployed Kamala Harris? Hmm.
- 25:14Speaker 1: You know, a little Chinese water torture. You know, just
- 25:18Speaker 1: send her into the room with the Iranians and just
- 25:20Speaker 1: have her negotiate. It could be good. They'd be rushing
- 25:26Speaker 1: to get to a deal with the president and the
- 25:28Speaker 1: vice president, you know? You know? Operation Incomprehensible Fury. Keep
- 25:38Speaker 1: thinking about it. Meanwhile, back home, Chris Christie is, well,
- 25:43Speaker 1: he's a hardcore oversized Trump hater. The guy really hates Trump.
- 25:47Speaker 1: What a dramatic fall this guy has had. Here's Chris Christie.
- 25:53Speaker 1: on ABC over the weekend, screwing up every last detail
- 25:57Speaker 1: about President Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran. Listen to this.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Cut five. Here he is, and I'll tell you why
- 26:03Speaker 1: he's wrong.
- 26:04Speaker 8: Well, let's put all this in context, right? I give
- 26:07Speaker 8: the president all the credit in the world for the
- 26:08Speaker 8: June bombing of the nuclear sites. But now we get
- 26:12Speaker 8: to February. He tells us this is about regime change,
- 26:15Speaker 8: unconditional surrender, eliminate the nuclear threat, and eliminate their missile capability.
- 26:20Speaker 8: That's what he tells us. He then does five weeks
- 26:22Speaker 8: of war, less than what the Pentagon wanted him to do.
- 26:25Speaker 1: And then he stops.
- 26:27Speaker 8: And he stops and fills the air with a whole
- 26:29Speaker 8: bunch of empty threats about when he's going to restart.
- 26:32Speaker 8: Then he gets to the point where the Iranians have
- 26:35Speaker 8: him in a corner because of the economic calamity that's
- 26:39Speaker 8: caused by something that apparently his geniuses in his national
- 26:42Speaker 8: security team didn't anticipate, that they would close the Strait
- 26:45Speaker 8: of Hormuz. How they didn't anticipate that, John, I don't know.
- 26:49Speaker 8: So now he has to make a deal. because he
- 26:51Speaker 8: feels the economy in the United States crumbling beneath him.
- 26:55Speaker 1: And what's he do?
- 26:57Speaker 8: He gives them the option of opening or closing the
- 26:59Speaker 8: Strait of Hormuz based upon their interpretation of whether- They have.
- 27:03Speaker 1: To work it out with Oman.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Right.
- 27:04Speaker 8: Us and Israel are complying, us and Israel, not a
- 27:07Speaker 8: party to the agreement. He gives them a $ 300 billion
- 27:11Speaker 8: bribe offer. He unfreezes all of their assets. He gives
- 27:16Speaker 8: them their oil profits back.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Which is $ 35.
- 27:18Speaker 8: To $ 50 billion a year. On top of it, he
- 27:22Speaker 8: doesn't prevent them from charging service fees to go through
- 27:26Speaker 8: the strait, which JP Morgan says could be $ 60 to
- 27:29Speaker 8: $ 90 billion a year. And now to end it up,
- 27:32Speaker 8: to end where you started, he hands over the negotiations
- 27:36Speaker 8: to a naive and inexperienced vice president and two other
- 27:40Speaker 8: guys who would be better buying you an office building
- 27:43Speaker 8: in Alexandria than negotiating this. And let me say this,
- 27:47Speaker 8: he's gone from America first to Iran first.
- 27:51Speaker 1: So I would say almost every word you heard him
- 27:54Speaker 1: utter there was a lie, actually. Too many to go through,
- 27:58Speaker 1: but some of them come to mind immediately. One of
- 28:01Speaker 1: them is like, well, the Pentagon wanted him to go
- 28:03Speaker 1: longer than he did. I don't care what the Pentagon wants.
- 28:06Speaker 1: He's the commander in chief. What are you talking about?
- 28:10Speaker 1: And when did the Secretary of War indicate that the
- 28:13Speaker 1: president was wrong? Because I'm pretty sure he runs the Pentagon.
- 28:16Speaker 1: When did Pete Hegseth, Chad, did I miss that? Did
- 28:18Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth come out and say, hey, the president really
- 28:21Speaker 1: screwed this up? I didn't see that at all. All
- 28:24Speaker 1: I saw was a crisp salute from the military carrying
- 28:29Speaker 1: out the orders of the commander in chief. That's all
- 28:31Speaker 1: I saw. So I don't know what Chris Christie is
- 28:34Speaker 1: talking about. No, the Strait of Hormuz can't be shut
- 28:37Speaker 1: off or on by will by the Iranians. The president
- 28:41Speaker 1: said this weekend, if you shut it down, I'm going
- 28:43Speaker 1: to kill you. You're not even going to make it
- 28:44Speaker 1: back to your own country. How does that square with
- 28:48Speaker 1: what you just heard come out of Chris Christie's mouth?
- 28:50Speaker 1: It doesn't in any way. The Iranians were not given
- 28:54Speaker 1: a $ 300 billion bribe. That's disinformation. I'm using Chris Christie
- 29:00Speaker 1: as an oversized vehicle for the talking points that you're
- 29:02Speaker 1: hearing from everywhere. Just the lies that are coming out.
- 29:06Speaker 1: What was everyone lying about? Why do you have to
- 29:08Speaker 1: lie all the time? I get it. You hate Trump.
- 29:10Speaker 1: You don't have to lie about the memorandum of understanding
- 29:13Speaker 1: or what Trump is doing here or how he's operating.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Stop lying all the time. They're not getting any money
- 29:20Speaker 1: unless they comply. That's the way this works. And J.D. Vance,
- 29:29Speaker 1: I would say, is a superior negotiator to any of
- 29:33Speaker 1: the other idiots who we could possibly put in front
- 29:35Speaker 1: of the Iranians right now. He's a smart United States Marine,
- 29:39Speaker 1: loves this country, serves the president with pride, and he
- 29:43Speaker 1: is doing a great job on behalf of the American people.
- 29:46Speaker 1: He's been an honest broker throughout all of this. And
- 29:51Speaker 1: Chris Christie's just lying because he hates Trump. That's it.
- 29:54Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. He just literally hates Trump.
- 29:57Speaker 1: So he goes on TV to try and attack him
- 29:59Speaker 1: and to suck up to the New York media, which
- 30:02Speaker 1: he's always been obsessed with. It's really sad to see,
- 30:05Speaker 1: but there it was. And again, Chris Christie is a
- 30:09Speaker 1: perfect template for the way the rest of the media
- 30:11Speaker 1: are treating President Trump right now as he tries to
- 30:14Speaker 1: handle this. They're crapping all over his efforts to try
- 30:17Speaker 1: and achieve peace. Meanwhile, the American people love it. The
- 30:22Speaker 1: American people, all the surveys, all the polls show are
- 30:25Speaker 1: with President Trump on trying to achieve peace in the
- 30:28Speaker 1: Middle East right now. That's what they want. They want
- 30:32Speaker 1: lower gas prices. They want global peace. They want the
- 30:35Speaker 1: president to succeed. So I'm siding with the American people here.
- 30:39Speaker 1: And I side with the president of the United States,
- 30:41Speaker 1: not the incomprehensible lies that are coming out, including for
- 30:44Speaker 1: people like Chris Christie. Meanwhile, the president's got all sorts
- 30:49Speaker 1: of problems he's trying to handle in the United States Senate.
- 30:52Speaker 1: And that includes trying to get the Save America Act passed.
- 30:55Speaker 1: And it also includes this drama around his director of
- 30:58Speaker 1: national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, just left. Bill Paltry is now
- 31:02Speaker 1: the acting director of national intelligence. He's in there with
- 31:05Speaker 1: a very clear message, mission rather, which is election integrity
- 31:09Speaker 1: and firing deep state actors. He's already underway doing all
- 31:12Speaker 1: of this. I've got updates on that and the panic
- 31:16Speaker 1: that that's causing inside of the United States Senate right now.
- 31:20Speaker 1: We'll get to it in just a moment. I want
- 31:21Speaker 1: to give you two more sponsors and we'll back into
- 31:23Speaker 1: it all ahead on this edition of Vince. These two
- 31:27Speaker 1: sponsors do help make the show free each day. And
- 31:30Speaker 1: I want to thank Ethos for helping us do that.
- 31:33Speaker 1: And they're just a great, great service. You know, being

- 31:48Speaker 1: had to scramble after an unexpected loss. I've seen it.

- 34:06Speaker 8: All right.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Bill Palti's causing all sorts of headaches over at the
- 34:10Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence gig, which is just wonderful stuff.
- 34:14Speaker 1: Bill Palti just arrived this weekend, and actually it was Friday.
- 34:18Speaker 1: On Thursday, he showed up early, and he asked for
- 34:21Speaker 1: lists of people to fire, which is great. And then
- 34:25Speaker 1: over the weekend, he posted this image. It's a little emoji.
- 34:30Speaker 1: you know, an American flag emoji. And right beneath it,
- 34:33Speaker 1: there's the president of the United States in black and white,
- 34:36Speaker 1: fists down right there on the Resolute desk, leaning forward
- 34:40Speaker 1: as if he's going to dominate on behalf of the
- 34:43Speaker 1: United States of America. It's a great image. Bill Palty
- 34:46Speaker 1: sharing this this weekend. Basically, LFG, it's time to work.
- 34:51Speaker 1: It's time to work. which is wonderful. And I love
- 34:54Speaker 1: that Bill Palti's there. In fact, every time I hear
- 34:57Speaker 1: these establishment people freak out even more about him, it's
- 35:01Speaker 1: like an inverse endorsement. You know what I mean? When
- 35:04Speaker 1: Mark Warner is angry that Bill Palti has this job,
- 35:08Speaker 1: it's a good thing for the United States of America.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Look at Mark Warner, Democrat, freaking out about Bill doing
- 35:15Speaker 1: this work for the American people.
- 35:17Speaker 9: And I think that the president has just decided to
- 35:21Speaker 9: blow that off, ignore that And the trouble will be
- 35:26Speaker 9: we won't know in the short term the damage. What
- 35:30Speaker 9: we will know is that national security leaders that are
- 35:34Speaker 9: Trump-appointed are nervous about Pulte coming in. We do know
- 35:39Speaker 9: that America's allies, who already were concerned that they might
- 35:43Speaker 9: have leaks if they shared with this administration, I fear
- 35:48Speaker 9: more of them will start to hold back intelligence. And
- 35:51Speaker 9: that makes America weaker.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Now, that last part is a dangerous thing. That's a
- 35:57Speaker 1: dangerous game that Mark Warner is playing. But let me
- 35:59Speaker 1: address the first part. He says there are national security
- 36:02Speaker 1: leaders who are Trump appointed, who are nervous about Bill
- 36:05Speaker 1: Paltry coming in. If that's the case, let's fire them.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Let's fire them. And in fact, if you're a national
- 36:13Speaker 1: security leader who's currently working for the president of the
- 36:15Speaker 1: United States, and you would like to voice your discontent
- 36:19Speaker 1: with his latest action of appointing Bill Paltry to be
- 36:22Speaker 1: the director of national intelligence. Please speak up now so
- 36:25Speaker 1: we can remove you. Like, are you serious right now?
- 36:30Speaker 1: National security leaders, as if that expression in any way
- 36:34Speaker 1: bears any weight for normal people? Didn't we have like
- 36:38Speaker 1: 51 national security leaders sign a letter claiming that Hunter
- 36:42Speaker 1: Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation? We're done with national security
- 36:47Speaker 1: leaders trying to browbeat the rest of us into giving
- 36:50Speaker 1: up our sovereignty and our civil liberties and our constitutional rights.
- 36:56Speaker 1: We're done with that crap. So spare us, Mark Warner.
- 37:02Speaker 1: But that last point is a little dangerous, more than
- 37:04Speaker 1: a little. That's Mark Warner telling our allies around the
- 37:10Speaker 1: planet not to share intelligence with the United States during
- 37:13Speaker 1: this period. He says, you know what? These foreign countries
- 37:17Speaker 1: are going to second guess giving us intelligence now because
- 37:20Speaker 1: they're not going to be certain that Bill Palti is
- 37:22Speaker 1: not going to leak it. That their secrets are going
- 37:26Speaker 1: to be all over the place. Their dirty laundry is
- 37:28Speaker 1: going to be everywhere with Bill Palti as the acting
- 37:30Speaker 1: director of national intelligence. Now, Mark Warner has no basis
- 37:34Speaker 1: to say that other than his utter loathing for Bill Palti.
- 37:38Speaker 1: That's it. He has no basis to say that whatsoever.
- 37:43Speaker 1: And yet he said it anyway. What does that do? Well,
- 37:46Speaker 1: it sends a message to foreign allies that maybe they
- 37:49Speaker 1: should withhold intelligence. So if anybody is imperiling us here
- 37:53Speaker 1: in terms of our national security, it's Mark freaking Warner.
- 37:56Speaker 1: It's not Bill Pulte, the guy who President Trump trusts,
- 38:00Speaker 1: and by extension, the American people trust to handle this
- 38:03Speaker 1: business of our intelligence community. This is one of those
- 38:09Speaker 1: moments where you know that there's so much more going
- 38:12Speaker 1: on than meets the eye directly. There's so much more
- 38:16Speaker 1: going on. There's a reason Mark Warner is spazzing out
- 38:20Speaker 1: about Bill Paltry. And it has nothing to do with
- 38:22Speaker 1: safeguarding America's intelligence. And it has everything to do with
- 38:26Speaker 1: safeguarding the corruption that's within our government. This is making me,
- 38:32Speaker 1: I don't even know Bill personally. Every time I hear
- 38:34Speaker 1: this crap, it makes me like him even more. Okay, good.
- 38:38Speaker 1: In fact, we should keep him there as long as
- 38:40Speaker 1: possible under the statutes. President Trump is trying to do
- 38:44Speaker 1: that right now. He put Jay Clayton forward as a
- 38:47Speaker 1: nominee in the United States Senate to take the job.
- 38:50Speaker 1: And then the Senate tried sprinting it through just to
- 38:53Speaker 1: stop Bill Paltry from having the gig, which made the
- 38:57Speaker 1: president go, wait, what the hell's going on here? Forget it.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I'm not nominating him right now. I'm withdrawing the nomination
- 39:03Speaker 1: for now. That's what the president did. And you have
- 39:07Speaker 1: establishment figures who are still pushing.
- 39:08Speaker 9: No, no, no.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Get him through. Get him through. We can't have Bill Paltry.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Here's Lindsey Graham doing this this weekend. Cut seven. Watch
- 39:14Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, establishment Republican.
- 39:16Speaker 10: President Trump appeared to sabotage his own nominee, Jay Clayton,
- 39:20Speaker 10: who was going to be the nominee with a confirmation
- 39:24Speaker 10: hearing last week to run the director of national intelligence.
- 39:29Speaker 10: He told him not to show up at his hearing
- 39:30Speaker 10: so that let Bill Pulte this controversial head of the
- 39:34Speaker 10: federal housing agency was no prior intelligence background or security
- 39:39Speaker 10: clearance in charge are you comfortable with giving Pulte the
- 39:43Speaker 10: keys to the 18 agencies.
- 39:47Speaker 11: I think what we had in place should happen. I
- 39:49Speaker 11: think Clayton should be the new DNI. President Trump was
- 39:52Speaker 11: told that Democrats were not going to support Pfizer reauthorization,
- 39:56Speaker 11: and he got mad and pulled out of the agreement.
- 39:59Speaker 1: They will.
- 40:00Speaker 11: Mark Warner told me that there are enough votes to
- 40:02Speaker 11: get Pfizer reauthorized, and I would urge President Trump to
- 40:07Speaker 11: let Clayton testify and that we nominate Clayton and get
- 40:10Speaker 11: him affirmed as the new DNI. We don't want FISA
- 40:14Speaker 11: to go dark. There's too many threats to our country
- 40:16Speaker 11: for 702 to go down. Anybody who owns the shutting
- 40:20Speaker 11: down of 702 under FISA will own a future attack
- 40:24Speaker 11: against the United States. We're playing with fire here.
- 40:28Speaker 10: You said you spent time with President Trump this past week.
- 40:31Speaker 10: Did he say to you that he will do what
- 40:33Speaker 10: you just laid out?
- 40:35Speaker 11: I'll let him speak for himself, but I told him
- 40:39Speaker 11: that any Democrat that shuts down FISA at a time
- 40:42Speaker 11: of great peril to the United States is making a
- 40:44Speaker 11: huge mistake. The same would be true of the Trump administration.
- 40:48Speaker 11: We need FISA up and running, so.
- 40:49Speaker 1: Here's what I hope will happen.
- 40:51Speaker 11: That Clayton will appear before the committee, we'll get him confirmed,
- 40:54Speaker 11: and we'll get FISA reauthorized as the original plan was.
- 40:58Speaker 1: I think the Democratic votes are there.
- 41:00Speaker 11: We're playing with fire here. No matter what side does it,
- 41:03Speaker 11: America needs FISA up and running.
- 41:05Speaker 1: What is that? Lindsey Graham's like, we have to suck
- 41:07Speaker 1: up to Democrats in order to get what we want.
- 41:09Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You understand what's happening here?
- 41:15Speaker 1: They're holding FISA reauthorization hostage until Trump gets rid of
- 41:21Speaker 1: Bill Pulte. You see that? And FISA reauthorization is the
- 41:27Speaker 1: spying powers of the United States intel community. That's what
- 41:30Speaker 1: he's talking about. Now, FISA has problems of its own
- 41:34Speaker 1: because it's been routinely abused to spy on American citizens,
- 41:37Speaker 1: including President Trump and the people around him. That desperately
- 41:41Speaker 1: needs to be fixed, and Congress has kicked the can
- 41:43Speaker 1: on that thing 6,000 times, and they're trying to do
- 41:45Speaker 1: it again right now. The president's conditions for FISA reauthorization
- 41:51Speaker 1: is you have to include the Save America Act. You
- 41:55Speaker 1: have to include it in order to reauthorize FISA. That's
- 41:59Speaker 1: what he wants. But Lindsey Graham is saying, Mr. President,
- 42:03Speaker 1: let Jay Clayton through, and then Democrats will give us
- 42:05Speaker 1: FISA reauthorization. And if we don't get FISA reauthorization, there's
- 42:09Speaker 1: going to be a terror attack, and you're going to
- 42:11Speaker 1: be to blame. Okay, settle down, son. Settle the hell down.
- 42:18Speaker 1: I don't like this. I don't like this one bit.
- 42:21Speaker 1: This whole thing stinks to high heaven. There is a
- 42:25Speaker 1: sinister reason Washington is trying to stop Bill Paltry from
- 42:28Speaker 1: having this job for any kind of term. Let's be
- 42:31Speaker 1: honest about what's happening. You and I may not know
- 42:34Speaker 1: every last detail about why they're freaking out, but you
- 42:38Speaker 1: do know it has absolutely nothing to do with safeguarding
- 42:41Speaker 1: America's national security.
- 42:43Speaker 8: Nothing.
- 42:44Speaker 1: And everything to do with the mission he is tasked with,
- 42:49Speaker 1: which is to get rid of the deep state and
- 42:53Speaker 1: to be honest about the state of America's elections, which
- 42:56Speaker 1: is why, again, I hope he stays in that job
- 42:58Speaker 1: for as long as possible and gets a lot done.
- 43:01Speaker 1: over the course of that time period. And here's the
- 43:04Speaker 1: president last week talking about all of this, saying he
- 43:07Speaker 1: wants FISA, he wants Save America done together, and that
- 43:10Speaker 1: he's going to be keeping Bill Pulte around for a while.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 43:14Speaker 2: What do you expect Bill Pulte to be acting DNI? Well,
- 43:18Speaker 2: as long as it takes to get everybody else approved.
- 43:20Speaker 2: I mean, they were doing a rush act and we
- 43:23Speaker 2: didn't get anything for it. Look, he's a very legitimate guy.
- 43:26Speaker 2: He's very smart. He's a brilliant guy. Look at the
- 43:29Speaker 2: job he did at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. I mean,
- 43:32Speaker 2: it's worth probably a trillion dollars right now. So we
- 43:35Speaker 2: put him there. But all of a sudden, it was
- 43:36Speaker 2: like a rush act by the Democrats. And they said
- 43:40Speaker 2: they were going to approve FISA. And I said, but
- 43:42Speaker 2: we want FISA approved, but we want the Save America
- 43:46Speaker 2: Act approved. Voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in ballots,
- 43:51Speaker 2: with exceptions, like for the military, sick, you're sick. Are
- 43:55Speaker 2: you traveling? Disabled? Very, you know, open and generous. We
- 44:01Speaker 2: also want no men playing in women's sports, and we
- 44:03Speaker 2: want no transgender mutilization of our children. None. Those are
- 44:09Speaker 2: five things that are 99 percent to.
- 44:13Speaker 1: I mean, that's all we want.
- 44:15Speaker 12: It's not a lot.
- 44:16Speaker 2: The Save America Act. And that can be passed any
- 44:19Speaker 2: way they want to pass it. But I'm not going
- 44:21Speaker 2: to sign FISA unless it's done. And this was like
- 44:24Speaker 2: a rush act. And it was a rush act by
- 44:27Speaker 2: the Democrats. All of a sudden they want to get.
- 44:29Speaker 2: And why are they afraid of this guy? I mean,
- 44:31Speaker 2: they're so afraid of him. They'll do anything not to
- 44:34Speaker 2: have Pulte go in there. He's a very capable guy
- 44:37Speaker 2: and they're worried about that.
- 44:40Speaker 1: You know, there is. There's something that I'm just thinking of, too.
- 44:48Speaker 1: I'm reminded of the fact that James Comey and John Brennan,
- 44:54Speaker 1: in the course of their fury with the Trump administration
- 44:58Speaker 1: for trying to hold them accountable for their credible criminal activity,
- 45:05Speaker 1: credibly accused criminal activity, both Comey and Brennan have said, hey, look,
- 45:08Speaker 1: there are still people on the inside who don't like Trump,
- 45:12Speaker 1: who we're telling to wait out, just hold on, help
- 45:13Speaker 1: is coming. In other words, like Bill Pulte has a
- 45:20Speaker 1: big job to do. There's lots to clean up. And
- 45:23Speaker 1: Mary Margaret Olihan recently, our friend Mary Margaret in May,
- 45:28Speaker 1: asked the president about this, about this suggestion that Justice
- 45:32Speaker 1: Department employees and various others in the intel community should
- 45:35Speaker 1: hang on and wait out President Trump's administration. And the
- 45:38Speaker 1: president said, well, if they're there, we're going to find
- 45:41Speaker 1: them and we're going to get rid of them. In
- 45:43Speaker 1: every agency, you have scum. Here's the president.
- 45:46Speaker 2: Listen.
- 45:47Speaker 9: The Press Well, Mr.
- 45:47Speaker 10: President, you suggested that there's still people in your DOJ
- 45:50Speaker 10: and FBI that are waiting you out.
- 45:51Speaker 12: They're waiting until your administration is over to get back
- 45:54Speaker 12: to work.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Do you think those people are still in the DOJ
- 45:57Speaker 1: and FBI?
- 45:57Speaker 13: The President I hope not. Well, if they are, we're
- 45:59Speaker 13: going to seek them out. We'll seek them out.
- 46:02Speaker 2: We'll get rid of them. Okay?
- 46:03Speaker 13: Because you have— in every agency, you have scum. And certainly,
- 46:07Speaker 13: they did in the FBI and DOJ. But Todd Blanchard
- 46:11Speaker 13: is doing a fantastic job. Cash is doing a very
- 46:13Speaker 13: good job. So we'll— we will prevail. I've been standing
- 46:18Speaker 13: here a long time with you, many years, right?
- 46:21Speaker 1: And they've been saying, I think it's it.
- 46:22Speaker 13: I think he's trouble. Here I am, you know, it's
- 46:26Speaker 13: a very constant situation. But I think you're going to
- 46:29Speaker 13: find that we have great people in the FBI and
- 46:33Speaker 13: we have great people at DOJ. Todd Blanch has really
- 46:36Speaker 13: been doing it.
- 46:37Speaker 2: All right.
- 46:38Speaker 1: So that's the commentary on DOJ broadly. But this gets
- 46:41Speaker 1: back to the mission that the president has, of course,
- 46:43Speaker 1: been on so aggressively, which is like, hey, we got
- 46:45Speaker 1: to root out the deep state. You got to root
- 46:47Speaker 1: out this subversion. It is completely unconstitutional to try and
- 46:52Speaker 1: subvert the will of the American people and upend the
- 46:55Speaker 1: presidency just because you disagree with the guy on policy
- 46:57Speaker 1: or because somehow your nest egg is being imperiled because
- 47:01Speaker 1: of the corrupt arrangement you've built within our government. Nope, nope.
- 47:05Speaker 1: We're getting you the hell out of the government. And
- 47:07Speaker 1: if you have violated the law, we should prosecute you too.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Bill Paltry's got a big job. And I'm glad to
- 47:16Speaker 1: see that the president is staying in this fight. We'll
- 47:19Speaker 1: see what happens next. You know, Lindsey Graham, of course,
- 47:21Speaker 1: is trying to bend his ear. Please put Jay Clayton in.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Please put Jay Clayton in. How about no? How about no?
- 47:27Speaker 1: How about we keep Bill there so long that we
- 47:30Speaker 1: see Lindsey Graham just keep sweating on Sunday shows about
- 47:33Speaker 1: the fact that he's doing that job? I'd be very
- 47:36Speaker 1: happy with that. Yeah, but the Save America Act, you know,
- 47:39Speaker 1: that fight continues. to try and get this thing done.
- 47:43Speaker 1: And I, you know, Mike Lee last week, the Senator
- 47:46Speaker 1: was served up a big struggle session by the establishment
- 47:49Speaker 1: Republicans during a Senate lunch. And I told you about
- 47:51Speaker 1: that right after it happened. Like, stop talking about this.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Stop talking about this. You're misleading the American people. It's
- 47:57Speaker 1: not possible. It is possible. And once again, this weekend,
- 48:02Speaker 1: Mike Lee, undeterred, was on television pushing the Save America
- 48:06Speaker 1: Act again. And he said it is very possible through
- 48:10Speaker 1: two routes, either nuke the filibuster or barrel through it.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Watch Mike Lee cut none.
- 48:16Speaker 7: He's right that the expanded version of it has never
- 48:20Speaker 7: gotten to 50 votes. But it's important, Shannon, to remember
- 48:22Speaker 7: that the original Save America Act, the one that was
- 48:26Speaker 7: passed by the House of Representatives, does have simple majority
- 48:30Speaker 7: support in the Senate. Now, while it's true we're 10
- 48:33Speaker 7: votes shy of cloture, of forcing debate to a close,
- 48:37Speaker 7: that doesn't mean that we couldn't pass it. There are
- 48:39Speaker 7: a couple ways to get there. One would be nuking
- 48:41Speaker 7: the filibuster, as you pointed out, that appears not likely
- 48:44Speaker 7: to happen. But the other way is to exhaust the
- 48:47Speaker 7: other side, to continue to debate the bill until it passes.
- 48:52Speaker 7: This was a common procedure in the Senate for most
- 48:55Speaker 7: of its existence. It needs to be used from time
- 48:58Speaker 7: to time in situations like this one. Look, the American
- 49:01Speaker 7: people overwhelmingly support this, Republicans, Democrats alike. We're talking about
- 49:05Speaker 7: three out of four Americans, regardless of political party, want
- 49:08Speaker 7: to make it easy to vote, hard to cheat. That's
- 49:11Speaker 7: what the House Pass Save America Act does, and the
- 49:14Speaker 7: Senate needs to be willing to do the hard work
- 49:17Speaker 7: to make sure that that happens. If we put it
- 49:18Speaker 7: on the floor tomorrow, and we announce that we're going
- 49:21Speaker 7: to debate it until it passes, I'm confident that we
- 49:24Speaker 7: can get there.
- 49:26Speaker 1: God bless Mike Lee. God bless him. Because what he's
- 49:31Speaker 1: doing is maintaining that public pressure that has annoyed the
- 49:36Speaker 1: hell out of these establishment Republicans. They hate this. The
- 49:41Speaker 1: Cornens of the world and the Thumbelinas and Mitch McConnell.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Where's Mitch the glitch at these days? Is he even
- 49:48Speaker 1: working in the Senate? These guys hate that this pressure
- 49:52Speaker 1: is continuing. Keep it up, please. It can't just be
- 49:56Speaker 1: Mike Lee. It has to be all of us. We
- 49:59Speaker 1: have to maintain this pressure on the Senate. You know,
- 50:02Speaker 1: it's funny, too. It's like they accuse The irony of
- 50:06Speaker 1: all of this is, like, the establishment Republicans who refuse
- 50:08Speaker 1: to do this, they're accusing the rest of us of
- 50:10Speaker 1: being bought and paid for. That this is somehow some
- 50:13Speaker 1: sort of astroturf campaign that is just the, that's just,
- 50:16Speaker 1: you know, these dastardly conservative commentators who are calling for
- 50:20Speaker 1: the Save America Act. It's, look, the reason this issue
- 50:24Speaker 1: is so resonant, one of the, you know, one of
- 50:27Speaker 1: the reasons we talk about it so frequently, this audience
- 50:30Speaker 1: is obsessed with it. I didn't invent that obsession. You
- 50:36Speaker 1: have this obsession. And so do I. And so do I.
- 50:39Speaker 1: So we talk about it a lot because we want
- 50:42Speaker 1: it to be done. And it is achievable. Now, if
- 50:44Speaker 1: this was not achievable, if this was something this is like, like,
- 50:47Speaker 1: it's just impossible to do, then a lot of this
- 50:50Speaker 1: would just be wasted breath. It's not impossible. It's entirely
- 50:53Speaker 1: achievable for all the reasons Mike Lee just laid out.
- 50:56Speaker 1: The Senate for years has coasted on this notion. He's that, well,
- 51:00Speaker 1: we don't have 60 votes to end debate, so therefore
- 51:03Speaker 1: the legislation shouldn't move forward. There's another way to end debate.
- 51:07Speaker 1: Have the freaking debate. That's how you end debate. You
- 51:12Speaker 1: allow the debate to actually be conducted. And at the
- 51:16Speaker 1: end of it, when the debate is exhausted, you get
- 51:19Speaker 1: to vote on the legislation. The Senate almost never does
- 51:22Speaker 1: it because they're too lazy. That's the truth. But they
- 51:25Speaker 1: should do it. Have the debate. We don't have enough
- 51:27Speaker 1: votes to end it. How about you start it? Let's
- 51:31Speaker 1: begin with that before we get to how do we
- 51:34Speaker 1: end it. Let's start it. The Save America Act is
- 51:38Speaker 1: very simple. Only American citizens should be voting. That's it.
- 51:44Speaker 1: That's the whole summary. I don't know if I can
- 51:46Speaker 1: make it more simple than that. Only American citizens should
- 51:48Speaker 1: be voting. Last week, Chuck Schumer said 25 million people
- 51:54Speaker 1: would be removed from the voting rolls across the country
- 51:57Speaker 1: if it passes. I hope so. I really hope so.
- 52:01Speaker 1: 25 million? 25 million people who should not be on
- 52:04Speaker 1: the voting rolls are currently on the voting rolls? That's
- 52:07Speaker 1: quite an admission by Chuck Schumer. Now, of course, he's
- 52:10Speaker 1: using it to scaremonger to suggest that somehow voters, legitimate
- 52:13Speaker 1: voters are going to have their ability to cast their
- 52:16Speaker 1: ballots imperiled. That's not the case at all. The only
- 52:18Speaker 1: people getting removed from ballots are non-citizens, illegals, people who
- 52:23Speaker 1: shouldn't be on the ballots. Not to mention a lot
- 52:26Speaker 1: of dead people. And I don't think they're going to
- 52:28Speaker 1: have a problem with being removed from the ballot. They're dead.
- 52:33Speaker 1: Remove the 25 million people or whatever the number is.
- 52:36Speaker 1: It's probably higher than that. Chuck Schumer trying to scaremonger
- 52:39Speaker 1: about it. He didn't say 25 million Americans. He just
- 52:42Speaker 1: said 25 million people. The voting franchise is for Americans
- 52:46Speaker 1: and we should be working very hard to protect it.
- 52:49Speaker 1: So Mike Lee, thank you again. Glad Mike Lee is
- 52:53Speaker 1: staying in the fight. As always, really appreciate Really, really
- 52:58Speaker 1: appreciate him for doing that. By the way, happy Father's
- 53:02Speaker 1: Day to all the dads. I hope you had a
- 53:03Speaker 1: wonderful Father's Day. I did. I was well taken care of.
- 53:07Speaker 1: It was really, really, just really splendid Father's Day here
- 53:10Speaker 1: in the Colonies household. We had a really good one.
- 53:14Speaker 1: And normal people, I think, enjoyed Father's Day. The New
- 53:18Speaker 1: York Times is not normal. Did you see what the
- 53:19Speaker 1: New York Times marked Father's Day this weekend? They did
- 53:23Speaker 1: it by saying that women can be men. Have you
- 53:25Speaker 1: seen this? It was a whole comic strip that they
- 53:29Speaker 1: released because they're a joke. And it was headlined, To
- 53:32Speaker 1: My Daughter, My Gender Was Never Complicated. And it's a
- 53:36Speaker 1: series of comic panels about a woman who is pretending
- 53:42Speaker 1: to be a man. And there's one here. How did
- 53:45Speaker 1: you grow a mustache if you were a lady? Says
- 53:49Speaker 1: the daughter in the comic cartoon. And then there's one
- 53:53Speaker 1: here where he's talking about... Oh, my God. Where she's
- 53:57Speaker 1: talking about how she got rid of her breasts to
- 54:03Speaker 1: become a man. Oh, here it is. How long did
- 54:07Speaker 1: you have your breasts for, Dad?
- 54:09Speaker 14: This is how the New York Times marks freaking Father's Day.
- 54:16Speaker 14: By saying women should lop off their breasts to pretend.
- 54:19Speaker 8: To be men.
- 54:21Speaker 1: I happen to think women shouldn't lop off their breasts.
- 54:24Speaker 1: that they were made in the image and likeness of God,
- 54:27Speaker 1: and that you shouldn't be told that your body's a mistake,
- 54:31Speaker 1: that there's something very sad and abusive about that. And
- 54:35Speaker 1: here they have this, basically, here's the push. Not only
- 54:40Speaker 1: does the cartoon depict some woman who's been mutilated now,
- 54:46Speaker 1: but it goes on to say that this is good
- 54:48Speaker 1: to propagandize children with on Father's Day. Now, what is this?
- 54:54Speaker 1: What if you had to figure out what is this
- 54:56Speaker 1: line of attack about? Why would The New York Times
- 54:59Speaker 1: even engage in something like this? Well, here's here's a starter.
- 55:03Speaker 1: Here's a here's a good assessment. This comes to us
- 55:06Speaker 1: from Brandon Gill, the remarkable congressman from Texas. And he
- 55:10Speaker 1: says the following. On Father's Day, The New York Times
- 55:12Speaker 1: decided to promote a cartoon of a woman cosplaying as
- 55:16Speaker 1: a father, cosplaying, meaning wearing the costume of. And boy,
- 55:20Speaker 1: she really went the distance, didn't she? And they did
- 55:23Speaker 1: it for a reason, because the cultural left knows that
- 55:26Speaker 1: the first step to conquering the future is brainwashing the
- 55:29Speaker 1: minds of our children. And they've realized that strong fathers
- 55:33Speaker 1: are the biggest obstacle to that goal. They want to
- 55:37Speaker 1: tear the institution of fatherhood down to nothing, because to
- 55:42Speaker 1: the left, things that are normal, good, and holy are
- 55:47Speaker 1: a threat to their Marxist revolutions. As usual, Brandon Gill
- 55:53Speaker 1: is right about this. The home is the smallest form
- 55:59Speaker 1: and the most important form of governance that we have.
- 56:03Speaker 1: It is. Oftentimes when we talk about government, we talk
- 56:06Speaker 1: about it at the local, state, and national levels. But
- 56:09Speaker 1: there's an even smaller unit of government, but it is
- 56:12Speaker 1: the single most important. It's the family unit. That governance
- 56:19Speaker 1: sets the course of your entire life, doesn't it? The rules,
- 56:23Speaker 1: the customs, the respect that you learn, the environment in
- 56:29Speaker 1: which you raised sets the course for the rest of
- 56:32Speaker 1: your life. It really does. It dictates what kind of
- 56:36Speaker 1: citizen you're going to be. To what extent do you
- 56:39Speaker 1: think helping others is an important thing for you to do?
- 56:43Speaker 1: Do you live a life of virtue? And in order
- 56:46Speaker 1: to get that foundation, you should, at its best, the
- 56:51Speaker 1: way it works is if you have a mother and
- 56:53Speaker 1: a father inside of that household, that is the highest
- 56:57Speaker 1: likeliness that you will both have the right structure and
- 57:00Speaker 1: the right chance of success in life. It's true definitely culturally, spiritually.
- 57:05Speaker 1: It's also true economically. The studies on this are really clear.
- 57:08Speaker 1: A father and a mother being inside the house increase
- 57:11Speaker 1: your chance of economic success by a huge percentage. If
- 57:16Speaker 1: you lack that, if you're raised in a single parent environment,
- 57:19Speaker 1: typically single mother in most cases, if you're raised in
- 57:23Speaker 1: a single parent environment, the studies on this subject show
- 57:27Speaker 1: pretty clearly your chances of making it to a higher
- 57:30Speaker 1: economic quintile are very low, very low. It's just, now,
- 57:35Speaker 1: are there people who break the rule? Definitely. But the
- 57:38Speaker 1: averages are very clear, which is why two parent households
- 57:41Speaker 1: are a huge deal. And strong fathers, strong spiritual leaders
- 57:47Speaker 1: inside of their home, people who can form a great
- 57:51Speaker 1: foundation for their children, are absolutely essential for creating healthy, well-adjusted,
- 57:57Speaker 1: and ready-to-succeed kids. The father really matters, big time, big time.
- 58:04Speaker 1: In fact, a return to fatherhood, if the country further
- 58:09Speaker 1: embraced fatherhood, if our families had more fathers in the home,
- 58:13Speaker 1: it would be an instant improvement on the quality of
- 58:16Speaker 1: our country, socially, culturally, spiritually, economically, in terms of our safety,
- 58:23Speaker 1: crime would go down. The father is the missing ingredient
- 58:28Speaker 1: in so many chaotic households across the country. So rather
- 58:32Speaker 1: than diminishing the value of fatherhood or pretending like it's
- 58:36Speaker 1: not a real category to begin with, oh, women can
- 58:38Speaker 1: be fathers.
- 58:40Speaker 2: No.
- 58:40Speaker 7: No.
- 58:41Speaker 1: We should be fighting to restore the prominence and value
- 58:45Speaker 1: of fatherhood at every turn and fighting back against this
- 58:49Speaker 1: kind of garbage being published in the most prominent newspaper
- 58:53Speaker 1: in America. What a joke. And as a country, we
- 58:57Speaker 1: should call it out together. Thank you to Brandon Gill
- 58:59Speaker 1: for doing it. And God bless all the fathers out there.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Thanks for raising your kids right. Those of you who
- 59:05Speaker 1: are doing it, we're always working harder to do that.
- 59:08Speaker 1: I'm always working to do that a little bit better.
- 59:11Speaker 1: Raise your kids right. We need good fathers. As always,
- 59:15Speaker 1: God bless you. Great to have you with us. As always,

- 1:00:04Speaker 12: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 1:00:07Speaker 12: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 1:00:10Speaker 12: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
