But no, in fact, he doubled 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.240 down and denied that any of this was true. Let's 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.120 go ahead and take a listen to a little bit 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.160 of what he had to say. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.640 My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.880 at my home that day, I assaulted her. Here's what 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.320 actually happened, and I have the ring doorbell footage that 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.399 backs it up. She came to my home in a 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.039 good mood, and we have text messages to prove it, 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.080 which you'll have to pick up our daughter early for 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.520 our friend's birthday party. She was inside my house for 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.800 several minutes when she left. The video shows her walking 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.240 out carrying our daughter calm, in the same good mood, 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.280 showing no distress whatsoever. And as they left, you can 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.240 hear me say goodbye, I love you and I love 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.800 you Ruthie, literally telling my ex wife. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.440 That I still cared for her. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.480 Does that sound like somebody who would just walk out 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.440 and who had been violently thrown a wall and been abused. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.800 She didn't call the police after that. She didn't go 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.320 to the hospital. Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.680 know what she did? She went straight to a child's 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.360 birthday party. The very next day, we had a friendly 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.800 phone call about our daughter's upcoming hospital procedure, and I 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.280 drove in from Washington to be there for it. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.399 Six days later. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.160 She offered a cook empanadus for me for dinner just 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.480 two days later after this alleged incident. The day after that, 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.560 she invited me and my girlfriend and which you'll have 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.720 in text messages, to join her and our daughter at 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.720 a playground. And that day I just went with my 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.359 former wife to the playground to spend time with our daughter. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.600 A week later, on February fifteenth, she wrote to me 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.960 in her own words which you will see, I think 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.520 it's great you and I are in a friendlier place. 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.360 She then offered me more extra overnights with our daughter, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.960 which I can proved every single one of you is recent. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.960 Every one of these messages is timestamped on our court 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.280 sanctioned co parenting app and is all in the packet. 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.200 Only weeks later did the story of February first assault 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:15.320 a pierre. So ask yourself if I had assaulted her, 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.880 would she had offer to cook meat dinner six days later? 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.120 Would she have invited me to spend an afternoon at 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.120 the playground with her and our daughter. Would she have 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.720 written that we were in a friendlier place. No, she 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.280 wouldn't have Ladies and gentlemen. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.320 So there's a lot to say about that. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.240 First of all the fact that she had made some 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.960 efforts at sort of maintaining the peace and keeping up 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.640 relations with this man who continues to have shared custody 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.280 of her daughter. I don't think disproves any of the 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.320 abuse allegations. He makes a lot of claims in this 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.320 twenty minute speech he gave here. I watched the whole thing. 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.800 One of the claims that he makes is definitively untrue. 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.000 He says, all of the allegations of abuse from his 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.400 ex wife, who by the way, her father is Republican 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.960 Senator Bernie Moreno, put a pin in that we'll get 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.400 to that in just a moment. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:09.720 That is not true. 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.240 Stephanie Grisham, who was part of the first Trump White House, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.960 was in a relationship with him and alleged that he 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.520 threw her up against the wall and slapped her when 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.120 she accused him of cheating on her. There were allegations 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.719 against him in high school that he allegedly threw a 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.240 girl down the stairs. In high school, there were allegations 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.680 that came out in the custody hearings that he was 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.839 expelled from college for violence against a woman and mother. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.880 Jones has done the most comprehensive reporting on this, and 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.600 you spoke to some of the people who were involved 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.800 here who stand by their stories alleging abuse against him. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.240 So it is simply not true that the only abuse 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:53.800 allegations come from his ex wife. In addition, he released 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:59.600 a bunch of audio and contemporaneous records to try to 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.720 clear or his name. And so we learn one thing, 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.360 which is that he was apparently surreptitiously recording his ex 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.520 wife and other loved ones, which is you know, it 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.560 was legal, I guess in the state of Ohio, but 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:16.280 very shady behavior. In any case, one of those audios 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.800 seems to really undermine some of the stories that he's 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.000 been telling as well. He told the New York Post 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.040 one of the abuse allegations was that he had thrown 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.400 scalding hot water at his ex wife and that she 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.440 had you know, she had marks from this water. He 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.400 had told the New York Posts this never happened, and 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.120 that the marks that we have pictures of on her 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.720 skin were from a sunburn. In one of the audios 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.240 that he himself released, he seems to acknowledge that this 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.040 scalding hot water incident occurred. However, he purports that they 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.360 were just horsing around in the kitchen and he sprayed 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.320 her with the tap water and it couldn't have been 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.960 that hot to injure or burn her. Let's go and 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.680 take a listen to this surreptitious recording that he provided 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.200 of this interaction between him and his ex wife. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.039 It never was done to hurt you. And you know 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.120 that you were weaponizing this because of my previous allegation, 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.599 and then you knew it was because. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.159 I was crying, So. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:14.159 I didn't need to hurt you. 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.240 I didn't need to hurt you. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.120 Why are you scared me? Why? Yeah, I didn't mean 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.359 to hurt you. It wasn't done with intent. You just 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.520 said it yourself. You literally just said it yourself. It 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.159 wasn't done to hurt you. And I told you before 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.719 that not to come over to me and start screwing 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:30.320 around with me. 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.320 It was Emily you are taking. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.480 You know, you're taking a playful incident and making something 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:41.800 the fairiers of Emily going out of the faucet. It 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.720 does not get to a temperature of boiling water. It 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:49.320 does not put it. I did it, and I tested it, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.880 and I had our attorneys tested because I figured that 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.520 this is what you were going to come at me with. 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.400 And it's literally, well no, no, but literally it's like 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.880 standing under a hot shower and we already have someone 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.039 to go ahead and combat. This is what you're going 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:01.400 to do. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.840 And so Tiger, let me get you to weigh in. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.400 But just so people know the totality of the allegation 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.280 she's making here, there's not only the scalding water allegation. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.160 She also alleges that he held a gun to her head. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.200 Their daughter's collarbone was broken, and she suspects that he 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.680 may have been to blame. She says that the daughter 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.640 has told her that daddy's house is quote scary, and 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.200 there's a bunch of other stuff from there at court hearings. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.040 That is just like, you know, horrifying treatment of the 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.960 woman who just gave birth to your child. Abandoned again, allegations, 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.360 abandoned her after like two days after she gave birth, 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.760 refused to be present for the childbirth, made all sorts 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:46.480 of like derogatory comments about her body given that she 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.280 had just given birth to a child. So that's the 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.520 sort of stuff that we're that we're dealing with here. 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.680 Right, And like you said, Miller, denies it all, and 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:58.280 he's actually suing both Moreno and Grisham for defamation. He 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:03.440 released that speech in to defend himself, I mean, objectively 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.320 looking at all of it, like you said, with the 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.000 a lot of the incidents from Mother Jones's report, again 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.480 which Miller had been contacted for comment and which he denied. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:14.080 Many of these. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.960 However, some of it at least comes from court records. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.680 What you could see, you know, in that audio, at 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.960 least the one that he released, is he is admitting 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:22.520 that there was. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.120 Some hot water or all of that involved. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:24.360 You know. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.240 Part of this is just seems so silly. It's like, 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.119 why are you speaking to the mother of your child 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.480 like that? Like what are you doing? Like That's that's 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.920 where I just followed down, especially when you have a 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.520 two year old daughter, and then this bitter custody dispute 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:41.560 in which there's clearly like insane antagonism from his side, 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.760 and you know, just the general like would she have 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.240 offered to cook me dinner? 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:45.559 Six? 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.840 I'm like, dude, yeah, you share you know, a child, 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.559 so they probably want to keep things like somewhat amicable. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:54.880 Even if there had been some situation between the two 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.560 of you as you well pointed out, Trump was asked 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.760 about this, by the way, because he is actually running 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:00.760 for reelection. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:06.359 Here's what he had to say. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:11.280 Well, I'm going to look at it, and I've been 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.080 so far it's accusations. I'll be looking at. 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.400 It, said, so far, it's just accusations. I'll be looking 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.840 at it. That's part of the problem for the Republicans. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.800 This is too late, i think, or at least from 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.120 what they've said, to replace him. We did have Bernie Marino. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.600 We could put C four up here on the screen, 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.240 the sitting senator from Ohio, whose daughter Emily, is the 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.080 person who obviously is in the center of all of this. 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.400 He says, as a father and a husband, I can 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.360 tell you the last two years have been pure hell 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.480 for my wife, Bridget, our daughter Emily, me our entire family. 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.280 In the aftermath of Emily's divorce. It has been horrific 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.160 to watch this play out in public view, all while 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.240 knowing an innocent two year old girl is caught in 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.599 the middle. My priority has been protecting our daughter and 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.840 our granddaughter. Out of concern for the safety of my family, 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.360 I hope to keep this matter private. But Max Miller's 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.600 increasingly erratic, erratic and dangerous behavior has made it impossible. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.440 As he admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.520 He's a danger to my daughter. I hold my breath 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.840 every minute he has customy my granddaughter. If there are 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.319 any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:16.559 Miller fails them. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.679 He should not serve in the House of Representatives. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.400 I believe Miller needs to seek professional help to end 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.520 the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.679 I believe he should not be free to continue in 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.840 endangering others until he does. I ran for office because 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.200 I wanted to make a difference, etc. 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:30.840 He says. 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.960 The sacrifice has been very hard on my wife, Bridget, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.280 whose big heart and study support I've never waivered. I 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.320 owe it to her, Emily, and to my granddaughter to 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:38.280 speak the truth. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:38.720 Now. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.600 That was the first time that he has actually said 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.920 anything about the situation, which is kind of mind boggling 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.280 considering it's his own daughter and granddaughter at the center 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.599 of it. I did ask around, and apparently one of 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.920 the reasons why had to do with some of the 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.520 custody disputes and some of the re election stuff that's 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:02.040 going on behind the scenes. But nonetheless, Chalking Miller has responded, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.959 by the way, see five, let's put it up here 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.280 on the screen. He said, Bernie Marino, if my daughter 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.280 said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn't wait 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.240 two years before holding him accountable. You know this isn't true, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.280 and the only reason you are speaking out now is 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.320 to hide from your own media circus. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.040 This is all political. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.920 He appears to be insinuating that he has some dirt 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.000 on Bernie Moreno and has said that now for many years. 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:27.360 I mean, it does have kind of a point saying 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.400 I wouldn't have waited two years to be able to 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.880 come out. But nonetheless, this is a bitter and a 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:37.640 very dramatic situation in the Ohio Congressional delegation, which does 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.120 highlight too. You know, you just had this whole platinum 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.480 situation going on with the Democrat. He obviously dropped out immediately, 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.040 but Republicans still, I mean mostly you are either silent 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.360 or are rallying around him because they don't want to 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.280 lose the seat. I have not looked at the odds 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.920 or the polling in his district, but I can't imagine 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.160 that this is going to be helpful. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:00.480 Yeah. No. 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.559 So, first of all, on the political front, Moreno is 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:10.000 the only one, literally the only elected Republican in Washington 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.320 who has said that he should not be in Congress. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:12.959 That's it. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.680 And yeah, there's a direct contrast with the platinerm situation. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.400 You know, when there was a credible sexual assault threat 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.160 and some of these very same people who are now 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.640 running around on the Republican side and saying Miller's a 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.680 great guy and I'm helping him get reelected are the 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.840 same people who are, you know, cassiating Democrats for their 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.440 lack of morals. So you can see, I mean it's 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.000 you know, it's trite at this point to make the 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.640 hypocrisy point, but it's just so overwhelmingly in your face 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.000 with this one that it's hard to avoid. So there's 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.800 that he So with regard to Moreno, this had come 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.360 out during his campaign and I had forgotten about this, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.640 but his work account, Moreno's had been used to set 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:57.040 up a profile on a gay dating website where said 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.960 profile indicated was looking for on one situations with quote 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.640 unquote young men. A staffer came out and said that 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.400 he had set this up as some sort of a gag. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.280 So there's a lot of speculation. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:13.520 That maybe that is what Miller is threatening Moreno with 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.000 to reveal. He's texted him something like, you know, I'll 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.920 reveal things that show you know, show people I know 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.600 you even better than your wife does, something of that nature. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.800 And so anyway, that's a speculation in terms of what 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.880 Max Miller has on Bernie Marino. Of course, none of 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:33.040 us really know what the you know substance or if 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.480 there is any substance of allegations against Moreno. One other 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.920 piece here just in terms of the credibility the allegations 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.800 against Miller. There's also a note that The Daily Mail 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.800 was able to get their hands on that allegedly happened 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.760 that Miller wrote to his ex wife right after the 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:56.200 alleged water scalding incident occurred, where he said to her, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.720 I don't know what to do. I do know you 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.920 love me, protect me and care for me. I failed 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.920 to do that for you. It's eating me alive. I 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.240 love you, even if you think I don't. I love 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.040 you so much. I'm so sorry. I'm just a fuck 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:14.000 up and worthless. So Moreno contends that this was a 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.760 sort of like apology for the water scalding incident, which 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.160 would indicate that he knows that he heard her. He 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.920 claims this that was not the context of this note. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.520 It was around some sort of like political dispute. So 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.880 in any case, I just wanted to put that out 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.160 there in terms of backing up her story and the 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:39.560 credibility therein. But the withdrawal deadline in Ohio is August fifths, 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.360 two days from now. Doesn't look like he's dropping out. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:47.960 It's a district in Ohio that Trump won by eleven points. However, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:52.160 when Bernie Moreno ran for the Senate, he only won 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.560 this district by one point. So I think it very 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.160 much is you know, in play for Democrats, the Democratic 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.360 nominee seems to be pretty strong. Brian Poindexter is a 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.360 union iron worker, position himself as a populist, So you know, 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.680 I think this is the weird thing to me with 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.840 Republicans just standing by him in lockstep is I don't 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.560 actually think that this is a smart tactical decision for them, 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.360 because if they just got some run of the mill, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.080 generic Republican in there, the seat would likely they'd be 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.880 able to hang on to it. But with him, because 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:29.120 he is you know, uniquely has these horrifying allegations against him, 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.120 and many people won't want to vote for him because 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:31.800 of that reason. 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:33.600 He puts the seat in jeopardy. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.160 And then the last thing I'll say about him is 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:39.240 he genuinely would not exist as a political figure without Trump. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:41.520 He you know, had. 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.920 Issues in college, and he he becomes like an intern 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.400 on Marco Rubio's campaign, and then when Rubio drops down, 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:49.960 then he goes over to Trump. 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.040 Trump likes him. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.960 He ends up in charge of part of Trump's advanced team, 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.440 you know, in an aid in the first Trump White House. 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:58.040 And then once this. 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.920 Seat, I think the guy who held the previously had 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.600 voted for trump impeachment after January sixth, So Trump was like, okay, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.480 we got the perfect guy, endorses him. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:06.920 There you go. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.440 He's a congressman, so you know, this is a Trump 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.400 loyalist through and through, truly, you know, creature of the 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.400 Maga movement. He's also one of the most like pro 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.720 genocide freaks in the entire Congress, which is really saying something. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.600 So anyway, that's a little bit of the political backstory. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.800 I knew more about the Gaza angle and how dedicated 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.760 he is to Israel that's what he originally came on 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.120 my radar four. 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:30.360 I guess if you will. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.200 Yeah, I mean, like you said, One thing I have 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.440 heard often in Washington is that many Republicans think it 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.840 was such a huge mistake to kick out George Santos 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.880 because it really hurt their margins in the House of Representatives, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.840 and currently where the Republican margin is, it's so razor thin. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.040 They just think that they can't accept even kicking out 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.320 somebody who's so obviously deserving. I know, I think Jim 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.040 Jordan has been asked about this before, so yeah, you 0:16:56.080 --> 0:17:00.400 could see that logic very clearly on display or all 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:00.760 of them. 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.120 But obviously why not just. 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.640 Have him not run for re election? 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:03.960 Yeah? 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.560 They can't force him to, right, I mean at the 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:06.760 end of the I mean, I guess they can. They 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.160 could say, look, you're not going to get a dollar 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:09.800 from the committee or any of that, but. 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.399 He might just say, you know, we have no idea. 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:13.840 Yeah. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.920 Well yeah, I mean, also it comes down to Trump. 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.600 Trump could just come in and say you're done, I'm 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.600 going to endorse somebody else. We all know that the 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.200 Republican base would vote for it. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.239 But yeah, well that's what I really think is going on. 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.800 I think they're all taking there the lead from Trump. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.240 They don't want to get crosswise with him. They know 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.919 this is his guy, and so since he is standing 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.480 by him, they're all going to stand by and that's 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:35.560 how they make their decisions. 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:36.240 Yeah, that's right. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.199 All right, We got Wan David Rojas standing by to 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:39.399 talk about Swain Spain. 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.240 Let's get to it, all. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:43.520 Right, guys. 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:48.399 There was a wild situation unfolded, unfolding in Seouta, Spain, 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.960 a place that I did not know exists, but I 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.480 am now learning a lot about. So this is across 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.600 from the Spanish mainland, right next to Morocco and on 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.359 the street of Gibraltar. What you see here is of 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:05.399 thousands of migrants who suddenly surged to and over the 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:11.119 border into this Spanish territory. There were images that immediately 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.800 seemed to suggest this was some sort of an organized movement, 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.280 not only because the flood of people who suddenly emerged, 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:22.119 but also because you saw them arriving on trucks and 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.040 being unloaded near the border. We now have a lot 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.240 of testimony from some of the migrants, most of whom 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.560 have now returned to Morocco, but some of the migrants 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.359 who were part of this wave, saying that they were 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:37.600 encouraged by the Moroccan authorities there at the border, saying 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.920 also that there were a lot of Facebook posts saying, hey, 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.040 the Spanish border is open. You can see here people 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:48.240 who are struggling, collapsing on the beach there. You know, 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.320 there were migrants who were killed and injured as part 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.639 of whatever this was. And so now to talk about 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.159 what exactly happened here and why there are suspicions that 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.239 the US and Israel could have been involved in what 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.000 would be a sort of hybrid war operation. Is Wanda 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.920 vid Rojas. He is a calmness at unheard. He has 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.720 a new article up. We can put D two up 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.320 on the screen, and his headline here is did Maga 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:20.600 create the Seyuta crisis? Morocco is cozying up to Trump. 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:21.840 Welcome one, great to see. 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.399 You, Good to see you man, Thanks for having me 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:23.879 on guys. 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.000 Yeah, yeah, of course. 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.439 So just start by giving a little versati all correct 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.320 anything that I said that might have been wrong. Give 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.800 a little bit of backstory here about what this place is, 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.600
