1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: The Biden administration insanely, insanely appealed the Supreme Court stay 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: the order delaying the lifting of Title forty two. And 3 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: if you haven't heard, the Supreme Court has ignored the 4 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: Biden administration. They're not going to lift Title forty two 5 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: at eleven fifty nine when the Biden administration asked them, 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: and instead they're going to hear oral arguments in the 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: next few weeks from both the Biden administration and the 8 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: nineteen Republican governors who sued to stop who sued to 9 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: keep Title forty two in place. Title forty two is 10 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: a legislative tool that allows the United States to turn 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: away most people who come to the country seeking asylum 12 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: because of a health emergency, the pandemic. The Biden administration 13 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: argues that we're not in a health emergency anymore because 14 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 1: the pandemic is over, but we do have a health 15 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: emergency and it's directly related to the border. The fentanyl 16 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: crisis another crisis that the Biden administration has caused and 17 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: is now ignoring. Illegal fentanyl, the synthetic opioid, is the 18 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: number one killer of young adults in this country, a 19 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: record one hundred and nine thousand overdose deaths in twenty 20 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two, a dubious record that we're on 21 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: pace to break again. The DA reports that seventy to 22 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: eighty percent of those deaths were caused by fentanyl. And 23 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: what are we doing about all these crises? Let's see, 24 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: while over three hundred people a day are dying from overdoses. 25 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: The president passed a climate change bill forgave student loans 26 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,839 Speaker 1: before the election, and even though that was thrown at 27 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: a court, the student loan thing, he really hasn't done 28 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: much since then. Right, the fentanyl crisis is just another 29 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: crisis to ignore, like the border crisis and the crime crisis. 30 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: There have long been calls for the Biden administration to 31 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: declare a national health emergency to fight the fentanyl crisis. 32 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: Think about how smart that would be. With that declaration, 33 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: he could extend Title forty two because the fentanyl is 34 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: coming across the Mexican border, and he could declare that 35 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: we are cutting off asylum immigration until we get a 36 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: handle on this problem. Wouldn't that make sense? That's the 37 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: very reason he won't do it, because then he would 38 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: have to take the blame for all the fentanyl deaths. 39 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: Over the past two years, both years, by the way, 40 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: set records for fentanyl deaths, both fiscal years, and this 41 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: president takes blame for nothing. Everything is Trump's fault, even 42 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: though these crises were talking about all happened under his 43 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: watch and as a result of his policies. He's not 44 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: fooling anyone. Everyone knows the source of the problem. It's 45 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: the fact we're not securing the southern border, and fentanyl, 46 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: a synthetic opioid that it's ten times more deadly than 47 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: a natural opioid, is pouring across enough. Fentanyl has already 48 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: come into this country to kill every American eight times over. 49 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: You've heard the chilling statistic that it's as if we 50 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: had an airliner crash every single day. The da has 51 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: been all over this, that's right. D EA under the 52 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: Biden administration has been all over this begging for help. 53 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: D EA administrator and Milgram told CBS News is Savannah 54 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: Guthrie exactly where the scourge on America is coming from. 55 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: China's to blame. Chinese chemical companies are the largest producer 56 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: right now of the precursor chemicals that are being used 57 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: to make fentanyl. There's a relationship between these Chinese chemical 58 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: companies and the criminal cartels in Mexico. I think it's 59 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: important to talk about the border, and I can say 60 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: with one hundred percent assurance that the criminal drug cartels 61 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: in Mexico will stop at nothing to get fentanyl into 62 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: the United States. Listen to your DA Administrator. If we 63 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: secure the border, we can minimize the fentanyl coming into 64 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: the United States, and then we work with the Mexican 65 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: government to go after the cartels and destroy the fentanyl factories. 66 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: That's what the President should be talking with with the 67 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: President of Mexico in his upcoming visit. But I guarantee 68 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: you he won't. This president won't because he's done nothing, 69 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: not one thing about the crisis. He wouldn't even mention 70 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: it until early November. Wall Canny campaigning for Pennsylvania Attorney 71 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: General Josh Shapiro, who is now governor elect in Pennsylvania. 72 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: He never once mentioned the border when he talks about fentinyl. 73 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: You simply cannot control the fetinyl crisis without securing the 74 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: border and going after the cartels. Everything else is useless talk. 75 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: But the administration insists the border is under control. He 76 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: doesn't even admit we have a crisis at the border. 77 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: If you just ignore it, it'll go away, right. The 78 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: administration is helping the cartels, not the people who are 79 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: crying for help by ignoring the problem. One person who 80 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: did admit the border is open and fentnel is pouring 81 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: across is Border Patrol Chief Raoul or Tis Raoul or Tise. 82 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: Excuse me, you had to admit it because he was 83 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: under oath. The state of Florida sued the administration for 84 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: not securing the border. In his deposition, Chief Ortiz said 85 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: the border is not secure. He said the border is open, 86 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: and he said fentnel is coming across. Listen to your 87 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: border chief, he's at the border that you ignore. Mister President, 88 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: this is way too important. This president, who promised he 89 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: would be straight with the American people, has been ignoring 90 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: this problem since he was sworn into office and signed 91 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: executive orders overturning Trump policies and causing this crisis in 92 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: the first place. The d EA and the Border Patrol 93 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: you just heard know about the problem, So the White 94 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: House must know about it, and they choose to ignore it. 95 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Shame on them. There's way too many people dying, too 96 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: many kids dying, and the problem has been ignored for 97 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: almost two years. We need something big. The Attorney General 98 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: in Florida, Ashley Moody, sent a letter to the White 99 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: House urging President Biden to label illegal fentanyl as a 100 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: weapon of mass destruction, and it's time we really take 101 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: drastic action. This isn't what we've seen in the past. 102 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: This is something new. It's alarming, it's increasing exponentially, and 103 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: it's time this administration takes it seriously and treats this 104 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: as a chemical weapon. That it is. Well, that was ignored. 105 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: The Biden administration keeps saying their border policy is humane, 106 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: that Trump was inhumane. Really it's humane for who A 107 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: record number of immigrants have died, either at the border 108 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: or making their way to the border. Human trafficking is 109 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: sky high, and now fentanyl is coming across the border 110 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: and killing a record number of American youth. I guess 111 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: I have to look up the definition, but I think 112 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: that's the opposite of humane. This thing is so dangerous. 113 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: In San Diego, a deputy chief was processing fentanyl after 114 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: a seizure and he almost died. He had to be 115 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: given narcamp same thing happened to an officer in Florida. 116 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: Last week. If you ingest or inhale this stuff, it 117 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: can be deadly. As many grieving parents have found out, 118 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: the pushers aren't on the street corners anymore than they're online. 119 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: People looking for adderall or something else end up with 120 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: Fenton and don't even know it. There must be a 121 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: reckoning for willful incompetence. Biden and the Democratic Party have 122 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: failed to secure our border, which should be their number 123 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: one job. Instead, they've spent five trillion on student loans, 124 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: climate change, billions in political gifts to Democratic donors, unions, 125 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: pet causes. This has all been a deadly embarrassment. But 126 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: you can make it stop by talking about this, by 127 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: pressuring your representatives right now. That's the only way things 128 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: are going to change. And this has to change. The 129 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: country can't afford to keep accepting this deadly mistake or 130 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: com right back. Larry MENTI in for Jesse Kelly. It's 131 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: producer Christmas in my ear saying this is Nancy Pelosi's song. 132 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: I had no idea, no idea that she was a 133 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: big Eagles fan. I like that song. I like the Eagles. 134 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: This is Larry Menty filling in for I guess I 135 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: don't anymore. Larry MENTI in for Jesse Kelly, very proud 136 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: to be her big shoes to fill buddy, and he 137 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: deserves some time off. Hard working man. Trump's tax returns 138 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: will be released. Incredible. The Democrats, in their loathing and 139 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: they do it's loathing of former President Donald Trump, and 140 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: they're absolute lust to embarrass him, incarcerat him, make certain 141 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: he can never run for president again. Are now going 142 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: to release his tax returns dating back to twenty fifteen. 143 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: The Ways and Means Committee is doing this. I know 144 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: New Jersey Congressman North Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell. He's been 145 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: in Congress for a long long time. He's been a 146 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: pit bull over this, lustful, I mean angry over this 147 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: getting these tax returns. He is captain of the I 148 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: Hate Trump Club and he's been trying to release these 149 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: returns for years. Five years ago I first talked to 150 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: him about this. Pascrell has been waiting for this day, 151 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: and he and the rest of the Ways and Means 152 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: Committee is releasing the tax returns any day now. The 153 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: New York Times already got ahold of him. Had they 154 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: waited another month or so, they would not have been 155 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: able to release them because the Republicans would have taken 156 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: control of the House. Look, I get it. You know 157 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: Trump isn't completely innocent here. He's been a little while. 158 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: He's shall we say, with his returns. First he promised 159 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: to release them after an IRS audit, and then he 160 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: got into office and said, no, I'm not releasing them. 161 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: I will absolutely give my return, but I'm being audited 162 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: now for two or three years, so I can't do 163 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: it until the audit is finished. Obviously, just under order. 164 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: I'll release them when the audit's completed. My tax returns 165 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: are very simple. They're under a minor audit routine ordered 166 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: as they have been for many years. Every year I 167 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: get audited. At the appropriate time, I will release them, 168 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: but right now I'm under routine udit. Nobody cares, you know. 169 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: The only one that cares about my tax returns of 170 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: the reporters. No, I don't think so. I won I 171 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: mean I became president. No, I don't think they care 172 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: at all. I would I became president, I don't have to. 173 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: Now that was a little shady, But except for some 174 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: rapid Democrats like Pascrell, nobody did really seem to care. 175 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Did you ever think that was a big thing, like 176 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: I have to see these Trump tax returns. Now the 177 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: Democrats are being a little shady themselves because now they 178 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: claim they were never doing this to try to embarrass 179 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Oh no, no, no, no, no no. They 180 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: say they were just investigating the mandatory audit that the 181 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: IRS is supposed to run on all presidents once they 182 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: take office. They wanted to make certain that happened. At 183 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: least that's what weighs and means. Committee member Democrat Jimmy 184 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,479 Speaker 1: Gomez claimed when he was asked, is if the committee 185 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: was out there just trying to get Trump. I want 186 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: to be very clear that the committee was looking at 187 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's taxes. Are asked to look at him, but 188 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,239 Speaker 1: in the context of reviewing the Mandatory Audit program of 189 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: that reviews all taxes of every single president and vice 190 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: president since nineteen seventy seven. But since then, every single 191 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: presidential candidate and vice president released their taxes on their 192 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: own except Donald Trump. So we wanted to know how 193 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: the program was working, and it wasn't really doing the 194 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: audits that was supposed to. And one of the things 195 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: that showed it was not that the Mandatory Audit program 196 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: did not complete one audit President Donald Trump's tax returns, 197 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: Not one single audit was complete. Did he just sound 198 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: like he was making that up the way he rambled along. 199 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: Didn't that just sound like he was lying and he 200 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: knew he was lying, And he's not a good liar 201 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: like most of the guys in Washington. You almost like 202 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: him for that. Okay, First of all, there's no requirement 203 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: for a candidate for president to release his tax returns. Yes, 204 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: most do. There's no requirement to do so. So he 205 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: broke no laws. And if they weren't trying to embarrass Trump, 206 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: if it was just about this mandatory tax audit to 207 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: make certain it was happening, why did every Democrat on 208 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: the committee vote to release the taxes? Right? That makes 209 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: no sense. If it was just about that, there's no 210 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: reason to release the taxes, if the audit was of 211 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: an IRS process. Yeah, the Trump taxes are evidence, but 212 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: they don't have to be released. You're doing that to 213 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: embarrass the man, as I said. The New York Times 214 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: got a hold of the tax returns and didn't find 215 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: any wrongdoing, at least not yet. But they found out 216 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: that Trump's businesses were losing money and were under a 217 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: lot of pressure. Yeah, he took sides in a divided country. 218 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: He was going to lose a lot of money on 219 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: doing that. It is going to be difficult to prove 220 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: any wrongdoing without the full power of the IRS to 221 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: demand proof receipts, buildings, etc. Look, this is I get that, 222 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: this isn't unprecedented. In nineteen seventy four, Bipartisan Tax Committee 223 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: released Richard Nixon's tax returns one year. But this is 224 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: the first time a committee has released the tax forms 225 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: of a former president, now a US citizen, and so 226 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: many years of his tax returns. Regretfully, the deed is 227 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: done overall objections in opposition. Democrats in the Ways and 228 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: Means Committee have unleased a dangerous new political weapon that 229 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: overturns decades of privacy protections Perhams taxpayers. The era of 230 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: political targeting and of Commas's enemies list is bad. And 231 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: every American, every American taxpayer who may get on the 232 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: wrong side of Majordan Congress is now at risk. Yeah, 233 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: do you do you realize what the Democrats unleashed here? 234 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: That's by the way, ranking Republican member of the Ways 235 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: and Means Committee, Jim Banks from Indiana the Democrats in 236 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: the Ways and Means Committee abuse their power and have 237 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: established a precedent of using that power to access tax 238 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: returns as a powerful weapon, not just against an opponent, 239 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: but against any US citizen. Think about that until we 240 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: come right back, Larry MENTI still here, still in for 241 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, proud to be here. I guess I shouldn't 242 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: be surprised, but I always am. When the Twitter files 243 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: were dumped by Elon Musk, when it was happening, the 244 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: very first set of files that were dumped, I was 245 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: sitting up, I was waiting for Remember it was late 246 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: at and I was waiting for it. And as it 247 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: was coming out, I was actually calling people and saying, 248 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe this, Oh my god, And I was. 249 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: When I was looking at I thought this was stunning, 250 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: what a huge story this is. And the next day, 251 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 1: nothing like nobody took it as a big story. A 252 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: lot of people were saying, we knew that, no nobody 253 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: knew that, no one knew that, no one knew how 254 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: deep the administration in the intelligence community was in Twitter 255 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: and social media. And if they were in Twitter, I'm 256 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: sure they were in Google. I'm sure they were in Facebook, 257 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: just like they were in the New York Times, just 258 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: like they control so much media in this country. But 259 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: it's a disinformation campaign, the same one that they keep 260 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: accusing the Russians of, only we're doing it in our country. 261 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: Huge story, and it's my mind blowing that it doesn't 262 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: get more coverage. To me, that's mind blowing. Is so 263 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: telling about the problems we have in this country over 264 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: media coverage and how much the media has bought and 265 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: sold by the Democratic Party. So the biggest dump the most. 266 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: It was some of the early stuffs right that not 267 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: only show that the FBI infiltrated the FBI with dozens 268 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: of former agents, but they had a special unit within 269 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: the FBI of eighty agents whose job it was to 270 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: oversee and influence social media. That's not a big story. 271 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: That's what they do in the Soviet Union. The government 272 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: wants to make sure they control the message getting across, 273 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: not just in influence, it control it. So they put 274 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: FBI in the agency, and they set up a special 275 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: unit to feed those FBI moles information and they get 276 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: some of the top positions. And to top it off, 277 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: we found out that the FBI paid Twitter three million 278 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: dollars for helping them out. Here's a little something for 279 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: your trouble. That's a payoff. It's a bribe. And of 280 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: course all of these agents went rogue. They did the 281 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: bidding of the Democratic Party to keep Donald Trump from 282 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: winning reelection and stop everyone they could from sharing or 283 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: posting the New York Post exclusive story of horrible criminal 284 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: behavior from Hunter Biden's laptop. This is so vitally important. 285 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: And I'm saying this again even though it was out 286 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: weeks ago, because more stuff keeps coming out, and I 287 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: guess I'm just stunned as more weeks go by that 288 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: the mainstream media is ignoring it. We can't let that happen. Now, 289 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: the Twitter in the FBI has been exposed without half 290 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: a dozen dumps of evidence proving their on holy allegiance 291 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: in helping Joe Biden become president. The big question was 292 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: is Elon Musk going to stay on his CEO of 293 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: Twitter and keep keep it free and keep exposing it. 294 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. He's going to leave. He doesn't need this headache. 295 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: He made that decision before he put up that Twitter 296 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: poll asking should I step down as head of Twitter? 297 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: He said, I will abide by the results of this poll, 298 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: seventeen point five million people voted and fifty seven point 299 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: five percent city should go. But you know what, I 300 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 1: heard of an interesting theory recently that he put up 301 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: that pole to entice all the bots to vote against him, 302 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: so he could find out where the bots are. It'll 303 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: be fascinating if that's true. By the way, as soon 304 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: as those poll results came out, Tesla stock jumped a 305 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: few dollars. It's fallen again. I guarantee you this is 306 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: the result that Musk wanted. The poll was his way out. 307 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: The Tesla stock had dropped fifty eight percent since he 308 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: announced he was buying a stake in Twitter. The entire 309 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: stock marked the entire stock markets down, but not that 310 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: much since there were also that Twitter poll. He tweeted 311 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: a cryptic message, be careful what you want, you may 312 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: just get it. He got what he wanted. He's confirmed 313 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: he's already looking for a new CEO. He'll still be involved. 314 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: How would you like to have the owner on the board, 315 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: To have the owner looking over your shoulder? Elon Musk 316 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 1: is no fool, my guess. He had already decided he 317 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: was going to hire a new CEO before he put 318 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: up the poll, and his new CEO will be less public, 319 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: less of a lightning rod. But I'm sure it's going 320 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: to be a requirement that that person will keep true 321 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: to Musk's philosophy of free speech and no government interference. 322 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: In other words, Musk did what he needed to do, 323 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: and now he's going to get out who was that 324 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: mask man. Let's get back to the release of another 325 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: batch of emails showing how much the FBI and other 326 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: government agencies had infiltrated social media, and there's no reason 327 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: to believe they didn't do this to others. Dozens of 328 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 1: former FBI agents were working a Twitter, and we're working 329 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: in high ranking positions over what tweets stay, what accounts 330 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: get banned, what gets suspended. And Federal Election Commission reports 331 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: show that those who were at Twitter from the FBI 332 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: all made campaign contributions to Democratic candidates, and that group 333 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: of FBI agents inside Twitter worked closely with an FBI 334 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: task force, as they told you, whose job it is 335 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: was to monitor social media and keep contact with them 336 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: about what should be taken down. You know, this revelation, though, 337 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: really goes deeper than just the FBI, and it was 338 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: deep at the FBI with the big task force. You 339 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: point out it was also DHS. Several states were lobbing in, 340 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, censorship requests and so this is I think 341 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: a real concerning infringement on our first memory rights. And 342 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's done by a private company at 343 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: the behest of the government or not, it's still a 344 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: serious free speech issue. Yes, that's former acting US Attorney 345 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: General Matthew Whittaker. Yes, this isn't about a private company. 346 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: It's about the FBI, a powerful government agency in fluent elections, 347 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: influencing elections for one party. Don't fall for that media 348 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: mantra that Twitter is a private company and can do 349 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: what they want. No, a group of both current and 350 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: former FBI agents were working as an arm of the 351 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: Democratic Party to influence elections. It was a different It 352 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: was a disinformation operation, the kind may run in other 353 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: countries to overthrow governments, only it was being done right 354 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: here in America. The FBI managed to best turn Twitter 355 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: into an arm of the FBI and part of the 356 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,239 Speaker 1: intelligence community. And you see it both from without and 357 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: from within. That's John Levine from The New York Post, 358 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: who is part of breaking the Hunter Biden laptop story 359 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: that Twitter banned after getting several heads up by the 360 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: FBI that you know, it looks like Russian disinformation. And then, 361 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: of course, several former agents sent a letter to The 362 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: New York Times, also saying the post story had all 363 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: the markings of Russian disinformation. Next year is when the 364 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: Republicans take over the House. Next year is only a 365 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: week away, and we'll hold hearings about the FBI's influence 366 00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: over the twenty twenty elections. Doesn't it think about it 367 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: for a second. Doesn't it start to feel like we're 368 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 1: living in a police state. When law enforcement imposes its 369 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: will on elections and investigates political opponents, that qualifies as 370 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: a police state. We're coming right back starting gun. The 371 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: midterm elections are the unofficial starting gun of the twenty 372 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: twenty four presidential election, and the results of this past election, 373 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: the midterms, where Republicans vastly underperformed, has had a profound 374 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: effect on the race to come first president. Joe Biden 375 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: is definitely running for reelection now, there is no question 376 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: about it anymore. Just a few months ago, there were 377 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: big questions and there were a lot of Democrats that 378 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: didn't want to run. This has unified the party, the 379 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: fact they did so well in the midterms, So expect 380 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: him to announce soon. He gave that big speech to 381 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: gloat before he left. Now he's in Delaware for the holidays. 382 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: The President's going to speak to the American people before 383 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: the end of the week before the Christmas holiday and 384 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: really just outline what he sees as his accomplishments over 385 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: the first two years in office, to hit the notes 386 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: of unity and bipartisanship, to try to set the table 387 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: for some of the benefits that are in some of 388 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: the legislation that he signed that are is going to 389 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: take effect in the new year. And so it was 390 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: described to me as not necessarily a victory lap, but 391 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: more of a celebration in the holiday spirit. But look, 392 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: this is far different from where they were a year 393 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: ago in this White House, where Democrats were in fighting, 394 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: the President's agenda seemed dead, and now the FDR comparisons 395 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: when you talk to White House officials, they are back. 396 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: And this all comes ahead of a potential twenty twenty 397 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: four announcement in the early new year. In the early 398 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: new year, that's exactly right. That was carally right before 399 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: the speech and BC White House correspondent the president talked 400 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: about he did talk about unity and bipartisanship. I think 401 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: he gave up the right to talk about that after 402 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: he gave that Darth Biden speech in Philadelphia in front 403 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: of a blood red soaked Independence Hall where he labeled 404 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: half the country, all of the people who disagree with him, 405 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: as a threat to democracy. Are you getting sick of 406 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: this threat to democracy stuff? How fragile do they think 407 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: democracy is? It survived a burning of the White House 408 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: in the early eighteen hundreds, of Civil War, two World Wars, 409 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: a civil rights movement, much greater threats, and democracy has 410 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: always been fine. Nobody in at those times said, Wow, 411 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: this is a threat to democracy. It's a campaign slogan. 412 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: Our founders built democracy. American democracy is nice and strong. 413 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 1: Stop making it sounds so fragile. So expect President Biden 414 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: to announce his run for reelection in the next month 415 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: or so. As Chuck Todd said, the host of Meet 416 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: the Press, who had to one up the White House 417 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: correspondent Carol Lee in his I know more than you 418 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: do moment, And for what it's worth, it's my understanding 419 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: this holiday season when they make the decision if it's 420 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: a go or whatever it is, we're going to know early. 421 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: They're not going to delay telling the American people. Yeah, 422 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: the White House correspondent just said that. Well, you had 423 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: to say it, so it sounded like it came out 424 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: of your mouth. Every time Chuck Todd speaks, I missed 425 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: Tim Russert more and more. The mid term saved Joe 426 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: Biden and will continue to help him because now he's 427 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: going to have an enemy to blame him. The dysfunctional 428 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: Republicans in the House, who may or may not be 429 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: led by Kevin McCarthy. I think he'll win in the end, 430 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: gives him an arch villain. The in fighting between House 431 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: Republicans has made them look more and more like the 432 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: gang that couldn't shoot straight. And now President Biden has 433 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: something and someone to attack more than Donald Trump and 434 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: these mega Republicans and Trumps wounded, there's no question about that. 435 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: But he still does well on the bulls. Every time 436 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: you think he's out, he's not. The Democrats spent four 437 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: years trying to embarrass him and incarcerat him. They went 438 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: after his company, They rated Marilago, They held a congressional 439 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: tribunal that recommended federal charges. Now they're going to release 440 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: his tax returns, but he's still running. Ladies and gentlemen, 441 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens. America's comeback starts right now. 442 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: People said that speech was boring. I disagree. They said 443 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: it was subdued. That's good. It showed he had some 444 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: self discipline and the most the best thing about that 445 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: speech was when he said he was going to push 446 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: to make it illegal for retiring senators and House members 447 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: to become lobbyists. I've been doing columns and commentaries about 448 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: that for a decade. That is one of the most 449 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: corrupt things, aside from insider trading, one of the most 450 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: corrupt things that Congress does. They talked to lobbyists about 451 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: an issue, right, They come in and they talked to 452 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: lobbyists about the lobbyists come in and they say, hey, 453 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: we're trying to get this bill passed. They helped them 454 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: pass it, and they do it knowing they can get 455 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: a job with those companies as a lobbyists. No, they're 456 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: not supposed to talk about it, but I'm sure they do. 457 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,479 Speaker 1: And then there's jobs pay exponentially more money than it 458 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: is to be a congressman. It's their retirement fund one million, 459 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: two million dollars a year. That's the thank you so 460 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: for Trump to come out against that. He keeps the 461 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: defining himself as an outsider taking on the swamp. And 462 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: let me tell you something, a recommendation like that, that's 463 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: kryptonite in Washington. But look, Trump's not gonna have an 464 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: easy time. I know everybody likes to jump on the 465 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: fact that Rod De Santis has some success in some 466 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: of the polls and is ahead of Donald Trump. But 467 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: most of the polls and I look at this stuff 468 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: all the time, Donald Trump is still ahead. So they 469 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't get too excited. But there's no question the midterms 470 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: hurt Donald Trump because sixty percent of the candidates he 471 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: endorsed lost. He's being blamed again for the loss in Georgia. 472 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: And Rick De Santis had the night to himself. He 473 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: had coattails. He won by twenty points, he helped Marco 474 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: Rubio win by twenty points, he helped win four congressional seats, 475 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: and he looked presidential. So the race is officially on 476 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: and others are going to jump in, but it's between 477 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: those two and I'm back at a couple of nights 478 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: we can talk about that again. I'm so proud to 479 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: be in here tonight. It was a blast getting a 480 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: chance to talk to you and filling him for Jesse Kelly. 481 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: I listened to Jesse Kelly a lot, and what an 482 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: honor it is to fill his shoes. Thanks for listening. 483 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: This is Larry MENTI in for Jesse Kelly.
