1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: I have a warning and an important story, and I 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: need you guys to do what you do well, which 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: is to share this information when I give it to 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: you everywhere you can on social media, you can share 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: the podcast, you can take notes. But this is a 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: story that's not being reported on, and it is that 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: China is buying up massive amounts of farmland directly connected 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: right in and around and near major US military bases 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: and installations. China, we now know, has been buying up 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: strategically placed farmland next to these military installations across the US, 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: and it's raising major fears over national security concerns. 12 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: The New York Post has. 13 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: Now identified nineteen bases across the US from Florida to 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: Hawaii which are in extremely close proximity to land bought 15 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: up by Chinese entities. The map is staff when you 16 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: look at where this land is. The base is identified 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: includes some of the most strategically important bases in our country. 18 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: Fort Liberty, known as Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina, 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: now has Chinese entities buying upland around it. Another one 20 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: you may know in Colleen, Texas Fort Hood, also China 21 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: has bought up land around it. The Marine Corps base 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: Camp Pendleton. You know that base, well the name, Why 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: do you know it? Because it's important in San Diego. 24 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: We have Chinese and TISA bought land around that base 25 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: as well. We also have an air base in Tampa, Florida, 26 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: McDill Air Force Base, where now Chinese entities have bought 27 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: up land around that air base. And what we know 28 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: is they're buying up land under the disguise of farming, 29 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: which allows them to then set up reconnaissance sits, installing 30 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: tracking technology, use radar in infrared scanning to view bases, 31 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: or attempt to fly drones over them as a way 32 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: to well, they would claim survey their land, but actually 33 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: to survey military sites. Now you may say, all right, man, 34 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: you're paranoid, right, That's what the left would say. 35 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: That's what the Biden administration would say. 36 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: What's the big problem here, Well, this land could also 37 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: be exploited by spies working for the Communist nation, and 38 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,119 Speaker 1: they could actually look like they are just farm hands, right, 39 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: people working on the land, when in fact they are 40 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: very good at collecting data surveillance. 41 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: The list goes on and on. 42 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: A report in the Wall Street Journal from September of 43 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: last year, also sounding the alarm. You probably did not 44 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: hear about it. In twenty twenty three, they found that 45 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: Chinese intruders were attempting to breach military facilities. These are 46 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: specifically Chinese individuals over one hundred times in recent years, 47 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: including sneaking into a missile range in New Mexico and 48 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: scuba divers spotted near a government rocket launch site also 49 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: in Florida. 50 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: That's not one. 51 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: That is two different times that the Chinese have been 52 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: caught being involved in this type of espionage, this type 53 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: of spine. Even the FBI now has labeled this quote 54 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: a grave threat, and the director, Christopher Ray saying in 55 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: April that hackers have made their way into US critical 56 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: infrastructure and are waiting for the right moment to deal 57 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: a devastating blow and physically wreck recavoc on United States 58 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: of America's infrastructure. 59 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: Now that's coming from the FBI director. 60 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you those details as well, But 61 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: first let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. For ten years, 62 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. 63 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: Why does that matter to you? Because if you're with 64 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: Big Mobile, then you're giving big donations every time you 65 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: pay your bill to liberal causes, liberal candidates, liberal organizations, 66 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: and you may actually be helping fund plan parenthood. Now, 67 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: when I found that out years ago, i made the 68 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: switch to Patriot Mobile, and look, switching cell phone providers 69 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: was not easy until now. Recently, it's now twenty twenty 70 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: four and I had to switch a line the other day. 71 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: It was easy. 72 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: I didn't have to go into a store, I didn't 73 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: have to wait on the phone for hours on end. 74 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: In fact, the entire process switching from one provider to 75 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: another took me a b out ten minutes. Yes, that 76 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: is now how easy it is with technology to switch. 77 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: You can keep your same cell phone number you have 78 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 1: right now, your same device you have in your hand, 79 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: or you can upgrade to a new one if you 80 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: want to.

What is the Biden administration doing, 105 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: Acting like these warnings don't even exist, acting like they're 106 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: not even there, acting like it's something that they don't 107 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: even know about. The Department of Homeland Security known as 108 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: the DHS, also. 109 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: Getting in on the action. 110 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: Warning of the threat of Chinese spy slipping over the 111 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,559 Speaker 1: US southern border disguise as among the more than thirty 112 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: thousand who've already been admitted since October of last year 113 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: that are Chinese nationals.

Those are the latest numbers that 132 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: they're willing to give us. Now, that's not all. 133 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: Navy Admiral Darryl Claudel appeared on Fox News and he 134 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: actually warned of the uptick in foreign nationals trying to 135 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: infiltrate also, as he described it, military basis. 136 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: Now, why would they be trying to do this. 137 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: They could be doing it as a soft run, right, 138 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: as a to try to you know, as a dry 139 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: run to try to figure out a way to get 140 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: into the United States of America. This again is a 141 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: major problem. Listen to the admiral of the US Fleet 142 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: Forces Command warning all of us about what China is doing. 143 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: You know, this thing of our military base is getting 144 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: penetrated by foreign nationals is happening more and more. You know, 145 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: this is something we see probably two or three times 146 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: a way week where we're stopping these folks at the 147 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: gate with a week a week at least, And this 148 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 3: is just Navy alone, where we're seeing folks try to 149 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: come in. And usually the cover story is and I'm 150 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: a student, you know, I'm here, I'm an enthusiast. I 151 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 3: want to see the ships. That type of thing. We 152 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 3: have to turn them around and typically we get ncis 153 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: involved with those and we get biometrics when possible. But yes, 154 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 3: there's been enough ticket out. Do they have passports, they 155 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: have a lot of times. 156 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: They have passports. 157 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: Do they have papers, Yes, but they're in no way, 158 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: shape or form authorized to be on our base. And 159 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 3: it's really hard for us to tell the underlying motive 160 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: for these type of cases. 161 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's stunning. 162 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: It is. 163 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: It's got to be a concern. 164 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 3: This is Russian, Chinese, this comes from all all these 165 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 3: different nations.

Griffin said the company has 272 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 9: two years to sell and that fine came from failure 273 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 9: to disclose the ownership stake in a timely manner. 274 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: By the way, one other thing, and she said that 275 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: talking about the seeds here, you want to know why 276 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: they would love to know about our seed technology. It's 277 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: actually very simple because there's also things that you could 278 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: do to affect the yields that are coming out of 279 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: our farms where we all of a sudden could have 280 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: bad crops, where there are certain bugs that could come 281 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: after and they can change and alter to then eat 282 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: up our crops, or there are certain things they could 283 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: change an alter including weeds to go after the crops, 284 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: and then we would be desperate for this food source 285 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: somewhere else around the world, which would give China a 286 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: huge advantage. This is what researchers are now warning about. 287 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: And so they're like, you can't have China sitting next 288 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: door to all of these different things that we're talking 289 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: about right now, Like you cannot allow for China to 290 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: be in this scenario. You just can't do it. And 291 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: what is the president doing right now? You guessed it 292 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: not a darn thing. Now, the question you have to 293 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: ask yourself is, Okay, why why is it that the 294 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America is allowing for 295 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: all of this to happen. Why is it that the 296 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America is getting warnings 297 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: from the FBI, is getting warnings from the USDA, is 298 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: getting warnings from the Department of Homeland Security, is getting 299 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: warnings from the Border, is getting warnings from states and 300 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: governors who are saying, hey, this is a problem, and 301 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: he is not doing anything about it. Is Is it 302 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: possibly because the president United States of America is compromised 303 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: by China because they've had more money come in from 304 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: China the Biden crime family than any other country in 305 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: the world. Is it because of his son and his 306 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: britt and his brother who have brought in literally tens 307 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars specifically from China. 308 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: It's a fair question. It is a question that we 309 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: should all be asking. 310 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: It is a question that no one should be shying 311 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: away from. But here we are with a president of 312 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: the United States of America that doesn't know how to 313 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: answer these questions. Actually he does, he just refuses to 314 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: answer them. And why does he refuse to answer them. 315 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: He refuses to answer it because he already knows it's happening, 316 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: and he's allowing it to happen. It's no different than 317 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: the number of illegal immigrants coming across the southern border, 318 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: who many of them happen to be on the terrorist 319 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: watch list, right, It's no different than the chin These 320 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: nationals that are coming across at alarming rates, at alarming rates, 321 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: and he knows it.

This is Trump's list. 364 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: There have been a lot of you that have asked 365 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: me the same question, who do I think, who do 366 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: I think should get it? 367 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: And why. 368 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: There is a couple things that I will bring up 369 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: that I would look at if I was Trump. There 370 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: have been massive gains recently, specifically in the Democratic are 371 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: staying in the polls, where many African Americans that used 372 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: to go for the Democratic Party. Many of them actually 373 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: voted for Joe Biden are now breaking and going to 374 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. We have about twenty percent plus now of 375 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: the African American community that are voters, right registered voters 376 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: who are now saying they're leaning towards Donald Trump. That 377 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: is a massive number, a number that many could have 378 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: never imagined in the Republican Party. Donald Trump would be 379 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: dumb not to look at that number and say, Okay, 380 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: is there a candidate here that can help me solidify 381 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: that twenty percent? Because if I get that twenty percent, 382 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: the chance of me becoming president winning reelection are actually 383 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: extremely high. 384 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: You'd have to look at that. 385 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: So who on that list could really appeal to the 386 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: African American community? Ben Carson could appeal Byron Donald's could 387 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: appear appeal to them, and Centerton Scott they're all African Americans. 388 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: Now. 389 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: Do I like the fact that you, you know, you 390 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: play the game the way the games play with voters 391 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: where you look and go, okay, can an African American 392 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: you know, connect better than these others? Like, that's just 393 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: the reality, whether you like it or not, that's the reality. 394 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't make the rules. I don't make up what 395 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: voters care about. But there are many Americans that are 396 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: African American that definitely like to vote for someone that 397 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: looks like them. 398 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: We learned that with Barack Obama. 399 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: I think you would be crazy, based on the polling 400 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: data to not look at those three individuals. 401 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 2: Now, what am I looking for? 402 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: If I am the president of the United States of America? 403 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: What am I What am I looking for in a 404 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: vice president of Cannon? 405 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 2: Number one thing I'm. 406 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: Looking for is somebody that could continue the carrying the 407 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: baton down the road for me. That's my I want 408 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: to be very very queer. That's my number one thing. Okay, 409 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: like like number one, That's what matters to me. 410 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: I want to know that whoever I. 411 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: Choose is going to be somebody that many Americans might 412 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: want to vote for four years from now. I'm not 413 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: running for six years. I mean for for eight years 414 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: as president. I'm running for four years, So you just 415 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: have to be intellectually honest if you're the President of 416 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: United States of America about that as well. 417 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: I'm running for a four year term. 418 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: That means whoever I pick needs to be able to 419 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: carry the baton and run with it, not walk with it. 420 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: Needs to be able to run with it, and that 421 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: is an important aspect of this conversation the president should 422 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: be having with his staff of advisors. I also think 423 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: the president has to look at his age and say, 424 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: is there somebody that could take over tomorrow and continue 425 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: pushing with the agenda that I have pushed so hard for. 426 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: If something happens to me just. 427 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: Based on age, you would be insane not to look 428 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: at the person you're picking on the job. 429 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 2: Training is not going to be what you want here. 430 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: I want to also know that I have a candidate 431 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: that is I'm dealing with all these legal issues and 432 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: the attacks, and the Democratic Party can go out there 433 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: and continue to campaign for for me if I'm stuck 434 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: in court for longer than I thought I was going 435 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: to be stuck in court, and have somebody that can 436 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: defend me and defend what and not just defend, but 437 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: articulate what we believe in. I want somebody that people 438 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: will get excited to see. I want somebody that is 439 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: going to fire up individuals all over the country and 440 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: they go, hey, even though Trump's not going to be there, 441 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: I want. 442 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 2: To go see that guy. Are that gal? 443 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: Now I look at that list and there's certain people 444 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: that immediately come off that list. For me, Ben Carson's 445 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: one of those. I know Ben pretty well. I've shared 446 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: the stage with him at Sea Pac. I like him. 447 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: I think he's a very smart guy. I do not 448 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: believe he fills the room and brings the energy that 449 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: the president would need. I also don't believe that Ben 450 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: Carson four years from now would be the front run 451 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. So for that reason, he would 452 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: be at the bottom of my list. I look at 453 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: North Dakota Governor Doug Burnham. He brings a lot of 454 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: money the table, brings a lot of donors to the table, 455 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: knows a lot of rich people. But I don't think 456 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: that's enough to say I wanted to be my vice president. 457 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 2: I also don't believe that Bergham is a. 458 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: Guy that the American people four years from now in 459 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: the Republican Party that voted for Trump are going to 460 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: be just clamoring all over to vote for So for 461 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: that reason, he would be at the bottom of the list. 462 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: I look at a guy like Jady Vance, Republican Ohio. 463 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 1: Ihio is obviously a very important state, But does jed 464 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: Vance get you or secure you Ohio. You could make 465 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: the argument that actually he doesn't. And the reason why 466 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: I say that is because I think without Donald Trump 467 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: he wouldn't have won and become the Senator from Ohio. 468 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump won him that seat. I think 469 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: that's a pretty clear point and a clear message that 470 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: you've got to look at it in an honest manner. 471 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: Does a white guy from Ohio help you with African 472 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: American voters? You could make the argument that, in fact, no, 473 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: it does not. 474 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 2: Help you. So is he bringing enough to the table? Right? 475 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 2: I don't see that bringing enough to the table. 476 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: So that's the part number one of this that I 477 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: think is really important. I look then at guys like 478 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: Tim Scott. I think Tim Scott would be a fabulous 479 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: choice for a couple of reasons. One, he certainly can 480 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: help you with the African American voters, and that I 481 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: think is really important. And Two, I think he would 482 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: do phenomenally well in a debate being kind, likable and 483 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: stern with Kamala Harris. I think you could also fight 484 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: back with Kamala Harris on issues of race, and I 485 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: think that is incredibly valuable. And finally, Tim Scott is 486 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: well liked in the Senate, and you're gonna have to 487 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: work with a Senate to get a Trump agenda done. 488 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: And Tim Scott can go over there and be a 489 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: great messenger for you. Now you put all that together, 490 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: and I say, okay, Tim Scott's high on my list. 491 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: He's not the only one, by the way, to tie 492 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: on my list. Marco Rubio, a guy that speaks fluent Spanish, 493 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: can really help you in this in the Hispanic community, 494 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: that's very important. He's a guy that can understand border 495 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: safety and security. He's a guy that can talk border issues. 496 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: He's a guy that can talk how Florida has done 497 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: things incredibly well and maybe we should. 498 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: Be looking at those things moving forward. 499 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: And and these are these are things that you can 500 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: bring to the table. I also believe that there's a 501 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: lot of Americans that would wake up to go to 502 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: a rally for a Trump Rubio ticket if Donald Trump 503 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: is in fact not there. So I look at this 504 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: list and for me, Byron Donald's, for example, he's a 505 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: maga guy, right, like, and that's important to Donald Trump specifically, 506 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: like being a maga guy is really important to him. 507 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: Byron Donald's a maga guy is Byron Donald's a guy 508 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: that can help you in the in the African American community, 509 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: no doubt about it is Byron Donald's a guy that 510 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: you could see running for president four years from now. 511 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't answer that question. 512 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: I just haven't seen enough of him on the big 513 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: stage to know if I would say that or not. 514 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: But when you're asking these questions, as I am out loud, 515 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: I hope these are the exact questions that are being 516 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: asked of the of the President of the United States 517 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: of America while he's trying to make this pick. I 518 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: hope this is the conversation that they're having. I hope 519 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: that this conversation is one that is that has made really, really, 520 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: really really clear. It's an incredibly important question list of 521 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: questions that need to be asked. I also think the 522 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: president has to know that whoever he picks needs to 523 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: be ready day one for the job. 524 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 2: This does not need to be on the job training. 525 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: And he needs to know that this person could excite 526 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: the base four years from now, and really that's too 527 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: long two and a half years from now when that 528 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: person would need to. 529 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 2: Step up and sam running for president. 530 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: That is what the president needs to be looking at 531 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: Those are the conversations he needs to be having in 532 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: and around his inner circle.
