Speaker 5: whether it.

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 6: Was helpful healing, whether that means you closed the biggest

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 6: deal of your career, you were hired for the job

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 6: you always wanted, whether you find found that assistant you've

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 6: been needing in your office to solve your problems. Whether

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 6: that means that the girl you asked out said yes,

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 6: that you had your eye on for quite some time.

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: Or your first grandchild was born.

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 6: Whatever productive means to you, whatever happy means to you.

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 6: It is a real honor that you tune in to

20
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 6: listen to us. There are so many choices for how

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 6: you can spend your time. And I always tell people

22
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 6: people think of quote quote unquote competition, which I think

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 6: is very healthy as.

24
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: What else is on the radio dial?

25
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, no, You've got podcasts you could be

26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 6: listening to right now. You be listening to other people

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 6: taught you could be listening to the radio. I mean

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 6: you could listen to music radio, or you could be

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 6: listening to a number of other things, or you could

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 6: be on the phone, or you could turn it all

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 6: off and just look out. So the fact that you

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 6: choose to join us, especially because I'm not saying anyone

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 6: else panders, but we don't always just say what we

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 6: think you want to hear. We say what's on our mind,

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 6: even when we know that will not be popular with

36
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 6: our audience, because part of what we expect people as

37
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 6: part of the show audience to do is to incorporate

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 6: data points before processing and analyzing.

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Knowing this is what Donald Trump does.

40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 6: He wants people to give him different perspectives and then

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 6: he'll make a decision.

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: So we don't want to.

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 6: Agree with every decision you make or where we think

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 6: you are on an issue.

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: The fact that you are mature.

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 6: And sophisticated enough to say, Michael's not always going to

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 6: be where I want him to be on an issue,

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 6: but we're going to listen anyway.

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: We think that's pretty darn cool, all right.

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,480

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 6: Nakanishi here.

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 7: We can do.

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 6: You know what this gender was until a couple of

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 6: years ago, And I'm still not sure if that's a dude.

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: Who likes dudes or a dude who likes rules or

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: a dude who doesn't like anything which I never buy.

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: And it's like that pet shot the Boy's song, you know,

64
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: the boys who.

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: Like boys, who like girls, who like boys, who like

66
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 5: girls who like boys.

67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: Well, it's been a top priority of President Trump.

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: He ran on it partially, and now the US Senate

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: is pushing forward with a vote on voter ID.

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 8: Under Mike Lee, a sponsor of the Save America Act.

71
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: Make them stand on the Senate floor and explain why

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: in front of all the American people, this thing is

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: going to pass.

74
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: He's not going to pass, and he knows it's not

75
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: going to pass. He's lying.

76
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 6: It's also the case that the only reason it's coming

77
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 6: up for a debate is because the pressure became too much.

78
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: They don't want Cornin to.

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: Lose to Paston because they're scared to death that Paxton's

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 6: going to come up there and start blowing the whistle

81
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 6: and all the nonsense that they're up to.

82
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: Shocking allegations against the late labor leaders. Sees our Chavez

00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 9: Chavez is accused of grooming and sexually abusing underage girl.

85
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 6: United farm Workers knew about chave as his sexual misconduct

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 6: for years, but refuse to investigate or even address them

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 6: in order to preserve mister Chavez's public image.

88
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: How many times have we seen this?

89
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 6: How many people on the Epstein list are too big

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 6: to fail?

91
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: Those brackets are locked. Let the madness begin.

92
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 6: The Miami Swim and Dive team they show up in

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 6: speedos to distract the SMU player as he shot free

94
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 6: throws vetos.

95
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: Somewhere in America is some dad.

96
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 6: Going, you know, this is fine, but if you'd focus

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 6: as much on your grades as you do pranks, do

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 6: y'all ever study, do y'all ever actually crack a book?

99
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 7: These are the biggest rinky song.

100
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 10: You know why everybody, And that's everybody's thinking together, right,

101
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 10: repeat after me.

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 11: Whatever I see early.

103
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: From the ocean shining in the sun.

104
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf

105
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: of Mexico to the Gulf of Michael Berry, which has

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: a beautiful way.

107
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 6: The Joe Pinton story, the fellow who had an amazing

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 6: military background. He was he was running the National counter

109
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 6: Terrorism Unit. He resigned this week, came out, took some

110
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 6: shots at Trump. Trump took some shots at him. Congressman

111
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 6: Brandon Gill from Texas, who's a real rising star, was

112
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 6: on Fox News with Laura Ingram, and the news broke

113
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 6: that Joe Kent has been under investigation for leaking classified information.

114
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 6: So is it the case that Joe Kent is now

115
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 6: being investigated because he criticized Trump and said that Israel

116
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 6: is the reason we're in Iran? Or was he under

117
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 6: investigation and found out that the hammer was about to

118
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 6: drop and he's creating a situation where it looks like

119
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 6: that because people do that. I don't know, It's for

120
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 6: you to decide. But here is what Brandon Gill said.

121
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 8: But a go sources are saying that Joe Kent, the

122
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 8: former director of the United States National Counter Terror Center.

123
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: This is from Semaphore. He just resigned.

124
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 8: He's now under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information,

125
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 8: and the investigation predates his departure. Congressman, your reaction to

126
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 8: that tonight, Wow.

127
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 12: Well, there's a lot there, and I think that we

128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 12: need to let this investigation and play out. But we

129
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 12: shouldn't tolerate any leakers in the administration, particularly regarding classified

130
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 12: national security interests and information. So we'll let this play

131
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 12: out and see where it goes. But if he was leaking,

132
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 12: he ought to be held accountable, just like anybody else

133
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 12: would be.

134
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 8: Now, five minutes ago, he seemed to think that Iran

135
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 8: was a big threat, and suddenly that threat went away.

136
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: It was very odd.

137
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 6: And earlier this week, I think this would have been

138
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 6: wouldn't have been yesterday?

139
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Was on Thursday? Sorry, Wednesday? Wednesday? Was it?

140
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 6: Vice President jd Vance was speaking in Michigan and he

141
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 6: addressed Joe Kent's resignation, and this is what he had

142
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 6: to say.

143
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 7: Now, you asked about Joe Kin. Now I know Joe

144
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 7: Kin a little bit. I like Joe Kent.

145
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 13: You heard the President of United States say yesterday that

146
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 13: he likes Joe Kent too. But it's one thing to

147
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 13: have a disagreement of opinion. I know the President very well.

148
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 13: He welcomes differences of opinion. He likes it when people

149
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 13: express their views about what should happen.

150
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 7: He listens to everybody.

151
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: It's one of the.

152
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 13: Great things I like about him is that whether you're.

153
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 7: The gardener at mar A Lago or whether you're.

154
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 13: The secretary of the State, the president cares about what

155
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 13: you think about an issue. He recognizes that everybody has

156
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 13: smarts and everybody has wisdom.

157
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 7: That said, whatever your view is, when.

158
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 13: The President the United States makes a decision, it's your

159
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 13: job to help make that decision as effective and successful

160
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 13: as possible.

161
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 7: And so the President said this yesterday. If you are

162
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 7: on the team and you.

163
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 13: Can't help implement the decisions of his administration, he has

164
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 13: the right to make those decisions, then.

165
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 7: It's a good thing for you to resign. And I

166
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 7: think that's exactly right.

167
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 13: It's fine to disagree, but once the president makes a decision,

168
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 13: it's up to everybody who serves in his administration to

169
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 13: make it as successful as possible. That's how I do

170
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 13: my job, and I think that's how everybody in the

171
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 13: administration should do their job soon.

172
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 6: For most people, Joe Kent is not a name they recognized.

173
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 6: This was him on the Sean Ryan Show back in

174
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, where he talked about proxies of Iran

175
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 6: attacking our troops over a hundred and fifty times. I

176
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 6: offer this because and look, I'm not trying to tell

177
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 6: you which way to think about it. I have my questions,

178
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 6: but this would suggest that he believed that Iran was

179
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 6: an existential threat, as he had said on other occasions.

180
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: Well, most Americans aren't, aren't aware of it.

181
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: We've our troops in Iraq and Syria have been attacked

182
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty plus times by Iranian proxies. And

183
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: when we say Iranian proxies, we've got to be clear

184
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: on what that is. That's the Iraqi government that we pay.

185
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 4: Because after the Iraqi military we spent two trillion on

186
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: surrendered to ISIS, we had to go back in there

187
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: in very short order and stand a military back up again.

188
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 4: And guess who filled the breach that she and malicious

189
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: controlled by Iran did. And the Iraqi government's controlled by Iran.

190
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 4: So these Iranian proxies that are attacking our troops are

191
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 4: one hundred percent funded by the United States of America.

192
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: We're funding the guys that are attacking our troops, and

193
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 4: so it's like, well, then why do we leave our

194
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 4: troops there?

195
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: And that's always been my question. I think we should

196
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: have had them out a long time ago. We can

197
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: get into it. We talk about my.

198
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: Late wife, but she should have been out of Syria

199
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: because Trump gave the order to get those guys.

200
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: Out of there.

201
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 6: Almost immediately after resigning his post as director of the

202
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 6: National counter Terrorism Center, Joe Kent sat down with Tucker

203
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 6: Carlson where he says that the last thing Charlie Kirk

204
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 6: said to him was stop the US from getting into

205
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 6: a war with Iran. He's not the only one to

206
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 6: say that. There are several people who have said that

207
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk was very concerned. He's on the record last

208
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 6: June or July saying he didn't think we should bomb

209
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 6: Iran and it was a terrible idea. I'm not saying

210
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 6: that Charlie Kirk runs the country. I'm just saying that

211
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 6: there are some people claiming to have been very close

212
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 6: to Charlie Kirk who are saying the opposite of what

213
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk said today, and I think they're twisting the truth.

214
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 4: And Charlie Kirk was one of President Trump's closest advisors,

215
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: and he also advocated heavily against a war with Iran.

216
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: He was in the Oval Office in the lead up

217
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: to the Twelve Day War. I wasn't particularly close with Charlie.

218
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: He was very gracious to me when I was running

219
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: for Congress, very very supportive. So we knew each other.

220
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 4: And the last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this

221
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 4: earth was in June in the West Wing in the stairway,

222
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: and I said hi to him, and he looked me

223
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: in the eye and he said, very loudly, and it's

224
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 4: a small you've been in the West Wing. It's small,

225
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: it's a tight space. And he said, Joe, stop us

226
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: from getting into a war with Iran.

227
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: Very love.

228
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: He was single minded, and.

229
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: He walked off and he went, I believe, into the Oval.

230
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: So when one of President Trump's closest advisors, who is

231
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: vocally advocating for us to not go to war with

232
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 4: Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship

233
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 4: with the Israelis, and then he suddenly publicly assassinated and

234
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 4: we're not allowed to ask any questions about that. It's

235
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: a data point. It's a data point that we need

236
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: to look into.

237
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 6: Joe Kent went on to say, and again, is he

238
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 6: just dropping these nuggets to be conspiratorial to make himself

239
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 6: look like a guy who was telling the truth and

240
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 6: that I came after him? Or is he a guy

241
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 6: who knew he was in trouble and knows what phrases

242
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 6: to you use to get people to support you. I

243
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 6: don't know. I'm playing it for you and letting you decide.

244
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 6: This was Joe Kent on with Tucker Carlson a couple.

245
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: Of days ago. What do you mean when you say

246
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to ask any questions about that.

247
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 4: We've been told that this individual Robinson is a loan gunman,

248
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: and maybe he is. But the investigation that I was

249
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: a part of, the National Counterism Center was a part of.

250
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 3: We were stopped from continuing to investigate.

251
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: And the FBI will say that they stopped that because

252
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 4: they wanted to have every turn everything over to the

253
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: Utah state authorities. Everything's going to try it. It's very

254
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: very sensitive, but there was still a lot for us

255
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: to look into. That I can't really get into, but

256
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: there was still linkage for us to investigate that.

257
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: We needed to run down. And I'm not making any conclusions.

258
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: I'm not saying, oh, I don't think because you know

259
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 4: because of this this happened. I'm not saying that at all.

260
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 4: I'm just saying there's unanswered questions. We know the pressure

261
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 4: because of the text messages and text messages that have

262
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: been made public that Charlie was under a lot of

263
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: pressure from a lot of pro Israel donors. And again

264
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 4: we know Charlie was advocating to President Trump against this

265
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 4: war with Iran, and we knew at the end of

266
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: the Twelve Day War, at the end of the Midnight Hammer,

267
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 4: that the Israelis were going to come back and ask

268
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 4: us to go back to war again. Right, So we

269
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 4: have a lot of data points between Butler, the assassination,

270
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: attempts against President Trump, the breaches of his security, what

271
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: happened to Charlie Kirk.

272
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 14: Can I ask you to pause on the Charlie Kirk

273
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 14: Wach just yeah, because it upsets me to hear what

274
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 14: you're saying, to be reminded that he was murdered, but

275
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 14: also to hear you confirm what was reported in the

276
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 14: media several months ago that your office had been blocked

277
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 14: from investigating his murder.

278
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: That does not make sense to me.

279
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 6: CNN has called Illinois Lieutenant governor Democrat Julian Stratton a

280
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 6: rising star in the party. Why is she considered a

281
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 6: rising star because she ran a campaign of f Trump.

282
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: That makes you a rising star.

283
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 15: Tonight, star in the Democratic Party who just won a

284
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 15: very competitive race by running on a clear message about

285
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 15: Donald Trump and his policies.

286
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 7: I'm not scared of a want to be dictators.

287
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 16: I'm running for Senate, stand up to Donald Trump. I'll

288
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 16: abolish ice and hold Trump accountable for the crimes he's committed.

289
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 7: Just like they said, sump Trump Trump O Julia Arma.

290
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 7: That's why I approve.

291
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 15: This message very direct And of course that's the Illinois

292
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 15: Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, who will be our guest in

293
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 15: just a moment. She beat out the more moderate Democrats

294
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 15: in a very closely watched primary overnight. Her biggest backer,

295
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 15: Governor J. B. Pritzker, who you just saw at the

296
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 15: end of her ad. Stratton is now widely favored to

297
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 15: win the Senate seat that's being vacated by Dick Durbin,

298
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 15: who's retiring, and out front now is the Illinois Lieutenant Governor,

299
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 15: Julian Stratton. So thank you so much. I appreciate your time, Juana.

300
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 7: So when what does your.

301
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 15: Victory say when we see that ad? Right, you don't

302
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 15: it's words, you put it out there. What does that

303
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 15: say about where your party is headed?

304
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 16: Well, I think it's reflective of the real frustration that

305
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 16: so many voters have with what's happening in Washington and

306
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 16: the fact that people want to disrupt the status quo.

307
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 16: They don't want to see this sort of go along

308
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 16: to get along mentality when we have a president who

309
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 16: is a want to be dictator, and they're wondering, why

310
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 16: are we still trying to just go about business as usual.

311
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 16: People are frustrated, people are angry, and they're looking for

312
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 16: leaders who are going to meet this moment. They want

313
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 16: to know that somebody is going to go to the

314
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 16: met fighting for them. And that's what I heard almost

315
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 16: consistently as I traveled every corner of the state. And

316
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 16: I'm proud that I can look voters in the eye

317
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 16: and say I'm going to be that fighter for them.

318
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 16: It certainly was a message that resonated in the primary.

319
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 16: And I'm going to keep talking about how I want

320
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 16: to take their voices with me to Washington all the

321
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 16: way through this general election.

322
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 6: I got news for you to It's Trump's MAGA approval

323
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 6: is at one hundred percent. The people who liked Trump

324
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 6: and the people who voted for Trump because they like

325
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 6: Trump still like Trump. C and N's Harry Inton, who

326
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 6: does their polling information. He says that the movement has

327
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 6: actually grown since twenty twenty four, which is interesting.

328
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 7: Just take a look here.

329
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 17: MAGA GOP a view of Trump approve one hundred percent,

330
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 17: one hundred percent. If you are a member of MAGA

331
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 17: and the GOP you approve of Donald John Trump. Zero

332
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 17: percent say that they disapprove. You don't have to be

333
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 17: a mathematical genius to know you can't go higher than

334
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 17: one hundred percent. He is the nineteen hundred and seventy

335
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 17: two Miami Dolphins. Now, there are some Republicans who disapprove

336
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 17: of Donald John Trump, but they are not members of

337
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 17: the Make America Great Again movement.

338
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 7: The bottom line is this.

339
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 17: If you are a member of MAGA, you approve of

340
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 17: Donald Trump.

341
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 18: It's interesting though, because they have a couple prominent people

342
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 18: who have sort of come out online and they're very

343
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 18: mad about this war with Iran because he promised no

344
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 18: new wars. Is there anything that people might be leaving

345
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 18: MAGA relative to twenty twenty four?

346
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 17: Yeah, okay, so you know I've said it before, and

347
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 17: you know the theme of this segment is Tucker.

348
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: Carlson b Dard.

349
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 7: And when we look.

350
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 17: At the numbers, I mean I've heard some people say, oh,

351
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 17: you know what, when you look at those MAGA numbers,

352
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 17: it doesn't account for those who might have left MAGA.

353
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 17: But take a look here Americans who identify as MAGA.

354
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 17: In November of twenty twenty four, it was twenty eight

355
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 17: percent of Americans. Now it's basically the same of anything.

356
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 17: It's slightly higher at thirty percent. The bottom line is this,

357
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 17: The magabase within the GOP is not shrinking.

358
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 7: It's the same size.

359
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 17: If anything, it is slightly larger than it was back

360
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 17: in twenty twenty four, when, of course, Donald Trump won.

361
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: A second term.

362
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 17: So that one hundred percent that Donald Trump has approval

363
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 17: among MAGA GOP that is not an artifact of MAGA shrinking.

364
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 17: It's just an indication of how strong Donald Trump's grip

365
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 17: is on.

366
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: That MAGA base.

367
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 18: And so I guess it begs the questions what's happening

368
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 18: with inside the GOP and if there are any splits there,

369
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 18: because with that those kind of numbers, they're going to

370
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 18: want to retain that right so they can retain their seed.

371
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 17: Yes, yes, and you know what we're talking about.

372
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 7: You know we've mentioned Iran in the insure.

373
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 17: Of this segment GOP on US military action in Iran.

374
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 7: Look at this, and.

375
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 17: Maggan, it's ninety percent approval.

376
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 7: It's ninety percent approval, just five percent disapprove. If you

377
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 7: disapprove of the.

378
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 17: Job that Donald Trump is doing or excuse me, the

379
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 17: US military action in Iran, and you're a member of

380
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 17: the GOP, look at this, it's your non maggot, you're

381
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 17: not Magga. It's thirty six percent there, fifty four percent approve.

382
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 17: But the majority of Republicans approve of the job that

383
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 17: the US military action is in Iran, and the majority

384
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 17: of MAGA, which is the majority of the GOP, very

385
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 17: much proved ninety percent, very little split in.

386
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 7: Donald Trump's base.

387
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 17: Those who are disapproved in the GOP simply put.

388
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 7: The MEGA it's really clear. MAGA has floor. MAGA has

389
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 7: the floor one hundred percent right March.

390
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 6: John Nolty recently released a list of Seeing It's top hoaxes. Essentially,

391
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 6: it's a it's a long list of stories that CNN

392
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 6: tried to shove down our throats. It turned out to

393
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 6: be absolute garbage. The Russian collusion hoax, the COVID deaths

394
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 6: which were overcounted, the the well to what let me

423
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: I love Dave Chappelle.

00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 11: Dave Chappelle loves me. You know I did very well

425
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 11: on the black vote.

426
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 13: Dad.

427
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 7: Let me tell you something.

428
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 11: If if Jesse Smollet would have really gotten beaten up,

429
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 11: it wouldn't be because he's gay.

430
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 7: It's not because he's gay.

431
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 11: It's because he's been in so much terrible television.

432
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 7: The only meeting he's taken is in the.

433
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 11: Ratings number nine, and this has reached. David Trump assaulted

434
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 11: Secret Service agents and grabbed steering wheel of the Beast

435
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 11: on January sixth.

436
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: Look, I do have the physique.

437
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 11: Of a twenty year old ordered Schwartzmaker and Hulkogan combined.

438
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 11: But even I would not take on the Secret Service

439
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 11: unless you were the ones in Butler, Pennsylvania, like Rosie

440
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 11: O'donnald's doppelganger.

441
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if she was looking.

442
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 11: For a twinkie or her gun, but that situation was

443
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 11: more terrifying than Hillary Clinton without makeup shopping for a mirror.

444
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: Romance.

445
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 11: Number eight Biden's sharpest attack hoax. The only time Biden's

446
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 11: been associated with sharp and attack is when he stepped

447
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 11: on his dentures on the way to a Homeland Defense meeting.

448
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 7: You know, love blow, David, love blow, and I love it.

449
00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: Oh for sure.

450
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 7: I'm a freak.

451
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: We're running out of time here today.

452
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 11: But that's a shame, David. But I hate to interrupt

453
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 11: the Colin Klin's pay programming AT's coming up. Number seven

454
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 11: covid lavely theories racist hooks. Last time I checked, simply

455
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 11: saying China wasn't racist. Number sixth elected Trump will execute people?

456
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

457
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 11: I love my voters. Why would I welcome silliness?

458
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 3: Dave silliness?

459
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't care somebody decus freaks shoot You can't shoot them.

460
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: Michael by show pass.

461
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 7: It's been rebooked.

462
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: On Friday.

463
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 6: I will look at eaton what happened this week, and

464
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 6: anything we didn't get to or didn't get to flesh out,

465
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 6: I will use Friday's show to get to so I

466
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 6: don't have to roll it over to the next week.

467
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 6: Rand Paul from Kentucky had the opening remarks in the

468
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 6: Markwayne Mullen confirmation hearing, and it's clear he's been harboring

469
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 6: a grudge.

470
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: Now we played a.

471
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 6: Little bit of that audio. I'm going to play a

472
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 6: little more of it here. And here's what I'm going

473
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 6: to tell you. I realize a lot of people hate

474
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 6: Rand Paul on our side of the aisle, and I'm

475
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: going to tell you that what I believe is that

476
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 6: in a Senate of one hundred people, one hundred people,

477
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 6: we need more than just the Democrats who are against

478
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 6: everything Trump does, because well, he's Trump and we need

479
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 6: to win our races, and he helps Republican win. Republicans

480
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 6: win races, and the Republican establishment who at election times

481
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 6: says they love him and then works with the Democrats

482
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 6: to gut him, and then the people who, whether authentically

483
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 6: or not, claim to love Trump twenty four to seven

484
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 6: and do whatever he tells them, and then the minute

485
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 6: he's out work against him. You need some people who

486
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 6: are going to be different, who are not part of

487
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 6: a team. And whatever you may say about ran and

488
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 6: would have also been said about his father, I think

489
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 6: it's healthy to have one senator who maybe some people

490
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 6: think is cuckoo, one truly libertarian senator. Now, I know,

491
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 6: I understand that libertarianism is too nuanced for some people.

492
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 6: It's inconvenient. Why do you keep asking these questions? But

493
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 6: somebody needs to ask these questions because the moment you

494
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 6: just trust that your government is good all the time,

495
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 6: you give your government too much power and you need

496
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 6: some people who you say, why do you keep opposing.

497
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: Every damn thing? Well, maybe that needs to be done.

498
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 6: I think ran Paul had every right to criticize Mark

499
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 6: Wayne Mullen in his confirmation hearing opening. And what Mullin

500
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 6: was mad about is an amendment that ran Paul had

501
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 6: put into a bill that said, hey, we're not going

502
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 6: to give welfare to the Somali welfare frauders frondsters in Mogadishue.

503
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 6: And Mullin voted against it. He said no, no, we'll

504
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 6: give him money.

505
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: And he didn't like that.

506
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 6: Rand Paul made him mad. Now, when did that happen

507
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 6: twenty years ago. So no this month and Rand Paul.

508
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 6: I think Rand Paul made a full of him. But

509
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 6: you're welcome to pair it all the Fox News folks

510
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 6: saying Mullen is tough either, Okay.

511
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: I entered the Senate at the same year that Representative

512
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: Gaviy Gifvers was shot. I knew then that the state

513
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: of political rhetoric was encouraging violence. I think it's imperative

514
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: now more than ever that the leaders in our country

515
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: disavow violence and lead by example. Through the years, I've

516
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 2: personally been exposed multiple times to political violence.

517
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 3: I was in the right field.

518
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: Batting cage when the craze shooter unleashed nearly two hundred

519
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: shots at our congressional baseball practice.

520
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: I'll never forget Steve's calise, valiantly.

521
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 2: Drag it, trying to drag his body away as the

522
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: gunman continued. Later that year, a trumpeting fellon attacked me

523
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 2: from behind in my yard. I was just straightening up

524
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: from picking up a tree limb. I was wearing noise

525
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: cancelation headphones. Never saw him coming, running pell Mell down

526
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: the hill.

527
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: I was struck in the back.

528
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: The force of the blows sent us through the air

529
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: nearly ten feet down the hill until his shoulder impaled

530
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: me as we hit the ground.

531
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 3: Six of my ribs were broken.

532
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: Three of the ribs were completely separated, such that for

533
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: weeks the ends of the ribs would grind upon each other.

534
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: My lung was damaged. For weeks, I could inhale, but

535
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 2: not have the rib strength to exhale. I developed to pneumonias.

536
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: The pain was such that I could only sit up

537
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: in bed by tying a rope to the foot of

538
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 2: the bed and pulling myself up.

539
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 3: But even then the pain was that of a thousand knives.

540
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: Over the year of recovery, I began to cough up

541
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: blood and went Removal of part of my lung complications

542
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: led to an infection in the space between my lung

543
00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: and chest wall.

544
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 3: I spent a week in the hospital having the infection.

545
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: The lodged every six hours to adjust to Recently, Senator Mallin,

546
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: if you have time to listen, you were confronted by

547
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: constituents that were angry because you voted against my amendments

548
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: stop all funding for refugee welfare programs. Instead of explaining

549
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 2: your vote to continue these welfare programs for refugees.

550
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: You decided to transfer the blame.

551
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 2: You told the media that I was a freaking snake

552
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted,

553
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: and I was shocked they would justify and celebrate this

554
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: filing assault.

555
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: That caused me so much pain in my family, so

556
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 3: much pain.

557
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 2: I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their

558
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: political opponents is the right person to lead an agency

559
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use

560
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: of force. You might argue you were mad and upset

561
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: about being confronted by your constituents, So Senator Mall and

562
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: your constituents are justifiably upset with you. But now most

563
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: of America knows that the Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota

564
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 2: stole over nine billion dollars.

565
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: But instead of defending your.

566
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: Vote you took to continue the vote to continue these

567
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: refugee welfare programs, you chose to lash.

568
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: Out at me.

569
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 2: He went on to brag that you'd already told me

570
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 2: to my face that you completely understood and approved of

571
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: the assault. Well that's a lie. You got a chance today.

572
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 2: You can either continue to lie or you can correct

573
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: the record. You have never had the courage to look

574
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: me in the eye and tell me that the assault

575
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: was justified. So today you'll have your chance. Today, I'll

576
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: give you that chance to clear the record. Tell it

577
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: to my face, if that's what you believe, tell it

578
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: to me today. Tell the world why you believe I

579
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: deserve to be assaulted from behind, have six ribs broken

580
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: and a damage lung.

581
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: Tell me to my face why you think I deserved it.

582
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: And, while you're at it, explained to the American public

583
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: why they should trust a man with anger issues to

584
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: set the proper example for Ice and Border Patrol agents

585
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: to the American public, how a man who has no

586
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: regrets about brawling in a Senate committee consider a proper

587
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: example for over two hundred and fifty thousand men and

588
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: women who work in the Department of Homeland Security.

589
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 6: In fairness to Mark Wayne mulland mulland he did respond,

590
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 6: And I think it's appropriate if I'm going to tell

591
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 6: you what rand Paul said to take a shot at him,

592
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 6: I think it's only fair that I tell you how.

593
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen responded, Sir.

594
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 9: I think there's everybody in this room knows that I'm

595
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 9: very blunt and direct to the point, and if I

596
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 9: have something to.

597
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 7: Say, I'll say directly to your face.

598
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 9: If you recall back in your back in my house days,

599
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 9: we actually did have this conversation because remarks that I've

600
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 9: made you were in a room.

601
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 7: I simply addressed that.

602
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 9: I said I could understand because of the behavior you

603
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 9: were having that I can to understand why your neighbor,

604
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 9: why the neighbor did what he did. As far as

605
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 9: my terms is snake in the grass, sir, I work

606
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 9: around this room to try to fix problems. I've worked

607
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 9: with many people in this room. Seems like you fight

608
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 9: Republicans more than you work with us. I did address

609
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 9: those remarks. I did explain your gimmicks by the amendment

610
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 9: you put forth. And as far as me saying that

611
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 9: I vote violence, I don't. I don't think anybody should

612
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 9: be hit by surprise.

613
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't like that.

614
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 9: But if I do have something to say, everybody in

615
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 9: this room knows how, come straight to you. I'll say

616
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 9: it publicly and i'll say it privately, but I'll never

617
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 9: say it behind your back. So for you to say

618
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 9: I'm a liar, sir, that's not accurate. And I got

619
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 9: proof to say that because you have spent millions of

620
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 9: dollars in my campaigns against me because we just don't

621
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 9: get along. However, sir, that doesn't keep me at all from.

622
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: Doing my job.

623
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 9: I can have different opinions with everybody in this room,

624
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 9: but it's secondary of homeland. I'll be protecting everybody, including Kentucky,

625
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 9: as much as I will my own back to guard

626
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 9: in Oklahoma. It's bigger than the partisan bickering that we have.

627
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 9: It's bigger than the political differences we have. The truth

628
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 9: is I have a job to do and I don't

629
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 9: like to fell at anything at all, So I can
