1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Missiles hid in Poland, as NATO now has to deal 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: with a bigger question of will they actually defend every 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: inch of NATO territory and NATO countries. Before we get 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: to that, there was the big announcement. Donald Trump walked 5 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: onto the stage at Marlago and he had this to say, 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: Take a listen, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and my 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: fellow citizens, America's comeback starts right now. Two years ago, 8 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: when I left office, the United States stood ready for 9 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: its golden age. Our nation was at the pinnacle of power, prosperity, 10 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: and prestige, towering above all rivals, vanquishing all enemies, and 11 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: striding into the future, confident and so strong. In four 12 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: short years, everybody was doing great. Men, women, African Americans, 13 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans. Everybody was thriving like never before. 14 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: There was never a time like this. We turned the 15 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: page on decades of You can hear the President laying 16 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: up to the big announcement right by saying, tonight it stops. 17 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make America great again again, as one commentator 18 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: put it on TV. And then came the official words 19 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: that everybody was hoping to hear, and those are the 20 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: words the president sang, I'm gonna run na be Joe. 21 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: It's two words American dream. That was not good what 22 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: he did. There a lot of bad things, like going 23 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: to Idaho and saying welcome to the state of Florida. 24 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: I really love it.

We're in grave trouble. 35 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: This is not a task for a politician or a 36 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: conventional candidate. There's a task for a great movement that 37 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: embodies the courage, confidence, and the spirit of the American people. 38 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 1: This is a movement. This is not for anyone individual. 39 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: There's a job for tens of millions of proud people 40 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: working together from all across the land and from all 41 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: walks of life, young and old, black and white, Hispanic 42 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 1: and Asian, many of whom we have brought together for 43 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: the very very first time. If you look at the numbers, 44 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: if you look at what's happened with Hispanic, with African American, 45 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: with Asian, and just look at what's happening. This is 46 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: a party that has become much bigger, much stronger, much 47 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: more powerful, can do much more good for our country. 48 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: There's a job for grandmothers and construction workers, firefighters, builders, 49 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: teach doctors, and farmers who cannot stay quiet any longer. 50 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: You can't stay quiet any longer. You're angry about what's 51 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: happening to our country. Our country is being destroyed before 52 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: your very eyes.

The police are being treated so badly. These 56 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: are great people that can straighten out the crime. They're 57 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: the ones that know how to do it. We have 58 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: to give them back their respect and their dignity.

Donald 88 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: Trump is the first, he's the former president, and he 89 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: believes with this announcement he is one the front runner. 90 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump also went back to some of his greatest 91 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: hits by mocking as you could hear there right before 92 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: he said, I am announcing my candidacy for the presidency, 93 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: mocking Joe Biden. You remind me of the classic Donald 94 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: Trump during the two thousand and sixteen campaign. Even during 95 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: the two thousand and twenty campaign. He understands who his 96 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: opponent is. It is the Democratic Party and it is 97 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Now, the chances that Joe Biden is going 98 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: to run for reelection obviously went up because of the midterms. 99 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: There was not a red wave. It was more of 100 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: a mirage. Now, the good news is on the day 101 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump announced, it became official that Republicans did, 102 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: by a slim majority take back control of the House. 103 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: That is going to allow for investigations to take place 104 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: in to Hunter Biden. That's going to take give the 105 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: opportunity for us to look into a lot of the 106 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: finances with Hunter Biden. Not only is it gonna do 107 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 1: that for us, but there's something else that's gonna happen. 108 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna allow for the Republicans to actually have a 109 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: say so in what's going on in Washington and be 110 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: able to stop the insanity of the Democrat at a party. 111 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: We also now know Kevin McCarthy will be the Speaker 112 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: of the House. A lot of people are not excited 113 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: about that. And the Senate leadership vote taking place today. Officially, 114 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: we already know from the arrogant and khaki Mitch McConnell, 115 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: who has only a seven percent approval, marating among Republicans. 116 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: As he put it, I've got the votes. I have 117 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: the votes. So if you think the swamp isn't holding 118 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: tight in DC? You're wrong. The swamp is very alive 119 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: well and still in control. You bought the Senate election. 120 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: You don't give money to in the places where money 121 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: needed to be spent when you're Mitch McConnell. And apparently 122 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter anymore because the swamp solidified and stood 123 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: behind Mitch McConnell. Sent Holly came out talking about the 124 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: election for who's going to be in charge of the 125 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: leadership in the Senate. And this is what Senator Holly 126 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: had to say about the election of Mitch McConnell. I 127 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: think that this election was the funeral for the Republican 128 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: parties we know it. The Republican Party as we have 129 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: known it is dead, and voters have made that clear. 130 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: And in particular, the folks who did not vote for 131 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: Republicans in the last election were independent voters, working class 132 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: independent voters, Folks who voted for President Obama once upon 133 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: a time, Folks who then voted for President Trump but 134 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: stayed home this time. We are not a majority party 135 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: unless we can appeal to those voters. It's a very 136 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: solid point he made, and his assessment what happened for 137 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell. Oh, no, no no, no, everything's fine, right. I'm 138 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: more than happy to talk to senators and have some 139 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: sort of conversation right with other senators. But really I 140 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: don't have to worry too much because I am the swamp. 141 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: I created the swamp. We got three hundred million dollars 142 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: award chess. I choose and decide who I'm going to 143 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: work with support in the Republican Party, and I make 144 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: sure that you pledge allegiance to me first and foremost 145 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: before I do anything for you. But before I get 146 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: to that part of the story, I want to tell 147 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: you a little bit about my good friends over at 148 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile.

Well, 179 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: as you notice, we had a rather lengthy and fulsome 180 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: discussion not only of the election but the way forward. 181 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty obvious we may or may 182 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: not be voting tomorrow, but I think the outcome is 183 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: pretty clear. I want to repeat again, I have the votes. 184 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: I will be elected. The only issue is whether we 185 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: do it sooner or later. And I think we'll probably 186 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: have another discussion about that tomorrow. I have the votes. 187 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: I have the votes. Whether it's sooner or later doesn't matter. 188 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: I have the votes. So how does the guy with 189 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: the seven percent approval rating among the Republican Party Republican 190 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: voters get to talk that way? Why? Because he's got 191 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: the money. Three hundred million dollars is how much money? 192 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: As in his ward, Chess is the number one donor 193 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: to Senate campaigns, Republican campaigns. And you don't pledge allegiance 194 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: to Mitch McConnell, and you don't do what Mitch McConnell 195 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: says during these elections, he will hang you out to 196 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: dry and give you nothing when you're running for reelection 197 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz talked about this on his podcast with Me. 198 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: If you haven't ever listened to Verdict with Ted Cruz, 199 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: download it because he takes you behind the scenes of 200 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: how these votes take place and what was actually said 201 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: when Mitch McConnell had just come out of that meeting, 202 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: what actually happened behind the scenes, and it was very 203 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: clear that if you screw with Mitch McConnell, he will 204 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: screw with you. When Ted Cruz was running against better Rourke, 205 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: it was the most expensive Senate race at the time 206 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: in the history of the United States of America, and 207 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell put not a single dollar into that race 208 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: against Beto O'Rourke, who was a rising star in the 209 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Democratic Party and many were talking about him as a 210 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: presidential contender or vice presidential candidate. It was important, right 211 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: that we beat, very important that we beat Betto. And 212 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: the man who is in charge said, uh nah, not 213 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: giving you anything. Good luck, do it on your own. 214 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: Why because Ted Cruz, the guy that you can't control. 215 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz is not a yes man. Ted Cruze is 216 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: gonna ask tough questions sometimes, and that's the type of 217 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: person that Mitch McConnell and the other Republican establishment members 218 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: don't want around. I truly believe, after looking at this 219 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: last midterm election, that Mitch McConnell would rather be in 220 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: the minority and have power than be in the majority 221 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: and not have that personal power. I believe that Mitch 222 00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: McConnell would rather be in the minority then have hardcore 223 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: conservatives that he has to navigate and serve with that 224 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: will actually hold him accountable to the out of control 225 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: government spending and corruption of Washington, to the lobbyists controlling 226 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: his votes. Because this is about personal power for him. 227 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: That's it. That's all this is about. It's about personal power. 228 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: And sure enough, as he came out there and said it, 229 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: I have the votes, I have the votes. I have 230 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: the votes. Not only did he say that, but after 231 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: the disaster that was that was the election. He didn't 232 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: rip on Democrats, he ripped on Republicans. He blamed you 233 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: conservatives for the reason why we lost in the midterms, 234 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: not him, not him pulling money out of Arizonner or 235 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: picking bad candidates that came in like doctor Oz. No, no, no, 236 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: this is what Mitch McConnell said with him, is that 237 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: your decision not to have an agenda to run on 238 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: opened up Republican candidates to attacks that they didn't really 239 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: stand for anything. What is response to the prison that 240 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: you are partically responded to? Every one of our candidates 241 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: knew what they before expressed it quite clearly. It's pretty obvious, 242 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: and all of you been writing about it. What happened? 243 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: We underperformed among independents and moderates because their impression of 244 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: many of the people in our party and leadership roles 245 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:36,359 Speaker 1: is that they're in gold in chaos, negativity, excessive attacks, 246 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: and it brightened independent and moderate Republican voters and we 247 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: saw that, which is why you all recall I never 248 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: predicted a red wave. We never saw that in any 249 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: of our polling in the states that we were counting 250 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: on to win. Isn't it amazing? We never saw a 251 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: red wave. So, with all the issues, and you're the leader, 252 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: you didn't see the hospect or the possibility or a 253 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: pathway to a red wave. You heard Mitch McConnell there, 254 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: We never We never saw that. We never said we 255 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: saw that. This is a guy that saw a cant 256 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: in Arizona, for example, that didn't pledge allegiance to him, 257 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: and he pulled the money out, decided to send it 258 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: to Alaska. It's a guy that's sitting on three hundred 259 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: million dollars in award chest to get Republicans elected, and 260 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: what do you do? Nothing to really get it done, 261 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: and then says, well, I never predicted a red wave. 262 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: If you are, I mean, if you were Mitch McConnell's, 263 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: and he's saying, well, don't don't say that. I said 264 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: there was a red wave. I never thought we could 265 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: take back the Senate. That's what he's saying. So with 266 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: all the issues, the way they were as vulnerable as 267 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: the president was. As a generic ballot, are you more 268 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: likely to represent, you know, vote Republican or Democrat. Republicans 269 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: had the advantage with the all time low approval rating 270 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: of the president. Knights, It's of America at the time, 271 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: Donald Joe Biden, you didn't see an opportunity as he 272 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: described it, for a red wave. Really you didn't see 273 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: that opportunity. And that's your response, Oh, well, I never 274 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: predicted a red wave. Don't don't act like I said 275 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: we were gonna win. I have the votes, I will 276 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: be elected. The only issue is whether we do it 277 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: sooner or later, and I think we'll probably have another 278 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: discussion about that tomorrow. Maybe that's because the only thing 279 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: that mattered to Mitch was him winning the leadership role, 280 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: even if he was in the minority. Maybe that's why 281 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to worry about the red wave. Right. 282 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: I never said there was a red wave coming. But 283 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: I have the votes. I have the votes. I have 284 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: the votes, and I'm going to be in charge of 285 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: the Senate Republicans, even in the minority, dependent and modern 286 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: Republican voters. And we saw that, which is why you 287 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: all recall I never predicted a red wave. We never 288 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: saw that in any of our polling in the states 289 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: that we were counting off Glean. Yeah, so I wasn't 290 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: predicting success. I was predicting failure. Seven percent approval rating. 291 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: If you want to know how deep the corruption is 292 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: in Washington among Republicans, you'd have a guy who seven 293 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: percent approval rating among Republicans and all the Republicans, almost 294 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: all of them are like yep, got to vote for 295 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: him again, seven percent of approval rating. You had every 296 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: single issue on our side, crime, the economy, right, all 297 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: of this gas prices, all of it you have sitting 298 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: right there waiting for you to win on and he says, 299 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: I never predicted a red wave, not once that I 300 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: predicted because my polling said no, not gonna happen. So 301 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit on this money and not give you 302 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: the majority. But I'll still have power. I Mitch McConnell, 303 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: I have the votes. I have the votes. I have 304 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: the votes. One of the big things about Trump's announcement, 305 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: and if you want to know if the media is 306 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: terrified that he's running again, the answer is clearly yes. 307 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: How do I know this because they're already becoming unhinged 308 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: last night, immediately and all morning long, they are finding 309 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: every former Trump offisier to go on TV to trash him. 310 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: Former Trump Defense secretary Asper saying this about Donald Trump 311 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: this morning, I wish you wouldn't. I think he's unfit 312 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: for office. I thought his remarks are very subdued and uninspiring. 313 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: And I think it's time for the Republican Party and 314 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: frankly both parties to move on to a next generation 315 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: of leaders, and particularly new leaders that can unify our 316 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: country and get us back to a modern horrible governance 317 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: where we treat each other with dignity and respect, and 318 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: we work on policy issues and not on personal attacks. 319 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: What would you say to any of your former colleagues 320 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: who might go work for him again, either in his 321 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: campaign or if he is ultimately reelected. Well, my message 322 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: to all Republicans has been all along. Look, there were 323 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: accomplishments in the Trump administration, better border security, conservative judges, 324 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 1: lower taxes, deregulation. I think that you can get all 325 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: those things with a new generation of Republican leaders who 326 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: may be your worn line with what I consider myself 327 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: a Reagan Republican, who can do so without the baggage 328 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: and the personal attacks and the self centeredness of Donald Trump, 329 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: and that can really lead our nation forward, and look 330 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: can grow the Republican base as well. The election last 331 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: week was an example of Donald Trump is incapable of 332 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: winning elections. He's done more to help the Democrats and 333 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: he as Republicans, And there's no reason why we shouldn't 334 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: have a bigger margin in the House, and we should 335 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: have taken the Senate, and yet we haven't. And so 336 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: I think if you want to govern, if you want 337 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: to government consistent with conservative principles, then you have to 338 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: win elections and Donald Trump can't win elections. Who you think, 339 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: who do you think can win an election? Governor Rond 340 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: de Santis? What Republicans do you want to see run? 341 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: I think there are a number of candidates out there 342 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: who continued to announce, uh, you know DeSantis. Obviously the 343 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: top is at the top. You can hear it there. 344 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: They are already trying to do everything they can to 345 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: make sure that Donald Trump does not win. That's his 346 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: former Trump defense secretary Espert saying he's unfit right. He 347 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: also went on to say that Donald Trump puts himself 348 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: before his country, even though the president made it clear 349 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: that when he ran, he ran to make people's lives better. 350 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: He did make people's lives better. The lowest unemployment rate 351 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: in history among African Americans, Asian American single mothers. The 352 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: list goes on and on. We have low gas prices, 353 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: we have low interest rates, we had a great economy. 354 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: To say that Donald Trump puts himself in front of 355 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: the voters is absurd. Yet that's exactly what Mike apt 356 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: former defense secretary and the Trump administration, said this morning. 357 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: I think there are a number of candidates out there 358 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: who continued to announce. You know DeSantis, obviously the top 359 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: is at the top that list right now. He did 360 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: a great job in Florida. He brought his more Hispanics 361 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: on board. So he appears to me to be the 362 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: front runner. But I think we need to have a 363 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: primary and we need to see who emerges and who 364 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: can really again republic rally, Republicans grow the base and 365 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: really reach to independence and others out there across the 366 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: country and allow Republicans to return to the White House 367 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. You said you think he's unfit 368 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 1: for office. Way, Oh well, look it's he puts himself 369 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: before country. His actions are all about him and not 370 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: about not about the country, and we saw last week 371 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: it were about him and not about the party. So 372 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: to me, that's that's shortcoming number one. And then of 373 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: course I believe he is integrity and character issues as well. 374 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: Integrity and character issues as well, not the bidens. No, no, no, 375 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. That's the problem here. Now, before I get 376 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: into more of this story, I want to say thank 377 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: you and tell you about our good friends at Legacy 378 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: Precious Medals.

Good to be 401 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: with you all. Good morning. It's good to have you. 402 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: And we had snow in Indiana last week. Oh you guys, 403 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: don't cancel school. Yeah. Bible says we're not supposed to 404 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: be jealous people, but can I be jealous of your snow? 405 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: It's coming, mister Vice President. So many Republicans had urged 406 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: the former president your running mate wait until after Georgia 407 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: because they want that Senate seat in Republican hands. He 408 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,239 Speaker 1: did not any idea why. Well, that'd be a good 409 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: question for him, Steve, I, I couldn't be more excited 410 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: about the fact that House Republicans are gonna secure a majority. 411 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy's going to be the next Speaker of the 412 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: House and um and I'm anxious to see herschel Walker. 413 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: Although it won't be a majority in the Senate. I'm 414 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: anxiously to her Sorshiell Walker be elected in that special 415 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: election in Georgia. And I think the American people are 416 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: really focused there. But it's a free country. The President's 417 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: entitled to announce his intentions whenever he desires. But I 418 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: honestly believe that we'll have better choices come twenty twenty four. 419 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think anybody donald Trump. I don't 420 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: think anyone could have beaten Hillary Clinton other than Donald 421 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: Trump in twenty sixteen. I write that in my new book. 422 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: I learned that on the campaign trail with him in 423 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and the record that we created that I 424 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: know he reflected on last night. Where we rebuild our military, 425 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: revived our economy, secured our border, appointed conservatives to our 426 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: courts at every level is something that I'll always be 427 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: proud of. But as I've traveled around the country over 428 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: the last two years, people have repeatedly come up to 429 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: me and said, you know, we want to get back 430 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: to the policies of the Trump Hans administration. But I 431 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: think there's a genuine desire for leadership that could unite 432 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: the country around our highest ideals, and leadership that would reflect, 433 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: I think, more of the civility and respect that Americans 434 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: show each other every day. You know, I'm out of 435 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: politics now, And once you get out of politics and 436 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: we moved back to Indiana, is you realize the American 437 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: people actually get along pretty well most days, and it's 438 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: our politics that's deeply divided. I just think I think 439 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: I have a sense the American people want to want 440 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: a new style of leadership that'll that'll reflect the way 441 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: they deal with one another every day. Did you feel 442 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: at the time during those four years the president was 443 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: being unnecessarily divisive? Again, this is the former Vice president 444 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: Mike Penn saying this, I honestly believe that we'll have 445 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: better choices come twenty twenty four than Trump. Now, this 446 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: is obviously self serving interview because Pens I think it's 447 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: very clear that he's going to run for president. That's 448 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: what he's going to do here. But you can see 449 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: it all over the news this morning. They're taking Donald 450 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: Trump very seriously, and they're going back to exactly what 451 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: they wanted to do, which is to take him down. 452 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: George Conway, Kelley and Conway's husband GOP is much more 453 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: of a personality cult, not a real political party. That's 454 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: how they described it with Trump this morning. For this 455 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: leadership office, it really doesn't make any sense. And this 456 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: is a guy George Conway and Rick Scott running the 457 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: senatorial campaign who stood behind all those candidates literally in 458 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: many cases, standing behind herschel Walker and George are propping 459 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: him up other election deniers and saying, yes, these are 460 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: our candidates, this is the way. And as I said, 461 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: they pulled a very difficult trick, which was to lose 462 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: the Senate as the out party in a year with 463 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: eight percent inflation and a president with forty percent approval ratings. 464 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: What do you make of this sort of intra party 465 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: fight going on right now? No, I think there's a 466 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: there's a vacuum in the Publican party. It's been a 467 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: party that has not functioned as a real political party 468 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: for quite some time. It's much more of a personality 469 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: called It's a party that didn't have, for example, a 470 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: platform in twenty twenty. It's and so now you're the 471 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: only thing that was holding it together was loyalty to 472 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: Trump and fear of Trump and the fact that Trump could, 473 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, could destroy any number of politicians who stood 474 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: against him because of his popularity with the base. But 475 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 1: now he doesn't have that power anymore, at least they 476 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: don't think so. And now you're seeing the fishers, the cracks, 477 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: as as as the mainstream people in the party who 478 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: saw how Trump was bad all along and kept their 479 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: mouth shut. I are now trying to gain some semblance 480 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: of control there. It is the whole media freaking out 481 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has officially announced. Do I think that 482 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is right now the front runner? Yes? Do 483 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: I think he still has a momentum more than anybody else. Yes. 484 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: And you're gonna watch over the days in the weeks 485 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: since he has announced. Now they're going to do everything 486 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: they can to try to destroy him, the same way 487 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: they tried to do it with Russian collusion and the 488 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: lies there, the same way they tried to spin in 489 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: his campaign, not to try they did spin in his campaign, 490 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: the same way they slandered him and his family with 491 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: their business dealings. Right, this is all going to happen again, 492 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: So you better be ready for it because it's all 493 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: going to happen again.
