1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: A photo idea to vote is not controversial in this country.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: It is not controversial by party, and it is not

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,280

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,880

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: to reopen the government following the Democrat government shutdown. It

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: was a partial shutdown, but it was a significant moment

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: as Republicans went straight to the Oval Office and made

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: it very very clear that Americans need to understand what

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: is in this bill and what is working for you.

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: Speaker Mike Johnson speaking first, saying, this standing next to

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: the President in the Oval Office.

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: A big thing.

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: It seems like a small thing, but it's a big thing,

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 5: and we're spending less money year over year with all

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 5: the innovations and things that you said there. This is

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: good for the country and America is back. The hat

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 5: is appropriate, it's the right right slogan.

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: It's a new hat. We just came out. America is

47
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: back books and and stilled.

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 6: Look at her, she's never swell never see her club

49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 6: somebody else here her small missus President, and.

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 7: I mentioned that there's significant healthcare reform in this field,

51
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 7: ABM reform, something that you have been working on, and

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 7: we appreciate and applaud your efforts bringing drug prices down

53
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 7: for citizens here in America. Not only that, but we

54
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 7: extended telehealth and also we are addressing maternal mortality in

55
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 7: this bill. Rural health here has been a big part

56
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 7: of your of your focus, and we appreciate that.

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: Thank you as much. Thank you.

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 6: You know, A very big thing I think for all

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 6: of us is most favored nations on drug pricing. So

60
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 6: for thirty years I've been talking about it more than that,

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 6: and it's basically we now will take many prescription drugs

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 6: will come down to the lowest price anywhere.

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: In the world. So if a country is.

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 6: Selling a pill for ten dollars and we're selling it

65
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 6: for one hundred and thirty dollars, which is not much

66
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 6: of an exaggeration at all, we would paying the highest

67
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 6: drug prices anywhere in the world. Now we'll be paying

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 6: tied with the lowest price. It's most favored nations. We

69
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 6: will have the lowest price anywhere.

70
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: In the world.

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: So a pill that was for one hundred and thirty

72
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 6: dollars will be down to twenty dollars.

73
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: So you can make a case that that's eight hundred nine.

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 6: Hundred percent, or like the press likes to hear, it's

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 6: about eighty percent. But we're going to get reductions like

76
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 6: nobody's ever seen, and frankly, the Republican Party should be

77
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 6: able to win the midterms on that alone. That's the

78
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 6: biggest thing there is, Most favored nations. We're going to

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 6: be bringing the price of drugs down. In my first term,

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 6: I got it down one eighth of one percent, and

81
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 6: I was so proud because it was the first time

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 6: in twenty eight years that drug prices came down. And

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 6: now we're talking about bringing it down by eighty ninety,

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 6: seventy five, sixty eight.

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: I have numbers in the back that nobody can believe.

86
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 6: Most favorite nations, and remember the Republicans did that. The

87
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 6: Democrats did not do that. Republicans did it. And that's

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 6: going to have a huge impact also in healthcare because medicine,

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a big chunk of healthcare, and if

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 6: you're bringing something down from one hundred dollars down to

91
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 6: twenty dollars eighteen dollars because we were subsidizing the entire world,

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 6: and frankly, I had to get the countries to go

93
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 6: along with it, and I had to threaten tariffs against

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 6: them if they didn't approve. And the healthcare companies who

95
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 6: weren't easy either, but they said it doesn't matter because

96
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 6: they'll never get the countries because.

97
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: Anyone you want to do it.

98
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 6: And I got the countries. They got every one of them.

99
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 6: And really people can't even believe it. But for the

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 6: people standing behind me, if you use that alone, you

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 6: should win.

102
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: We should win the elections coming up. Anybody else, how

103
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: about on the side.

104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 8: Well, you mentioned the IRSs president. Their behavior has been atrocious.

105
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 8: If you think about leaking your tax returns the tax

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 8: returns of others, never any accountability. I must have questioned

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 8: Jennet yelled four times, five times under oath about this,

108
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 8: and never an answer. We stipped ten million dollars from

109
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 8: the IRS in this bill that you just signed. And

110
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 8: today I launched an investigation with my staff on all

111
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 8: of these contractors that are associated with the ones that

112
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 8: allowed your information to be put out, These contractors that

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 8: hire activists to come in and do their work. These

114
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 8: corporations here in America that bring activists in to do

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 8: their work, that's going.

116
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 4: To come to an end. They did leak my tax returns.

117
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: It was terrible. The good news is I paid a

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: hell of a lot of tax I paid tens of

119
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: millions of dollars. I said, where are my accountants? I

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: want to talk to my account But they did. They

121
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: leaked my taxi and they didn't do it in a

122
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 4: nice way. They can't get something out of it now.

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: They have bad people accountabilities coming though.

124
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 8: You think about the phone companies that leaked our telephone records,

125
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 8: several of us here right Verizon.

126
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: Lyk my telephone records. You think about what's happened across

127
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 4: the company. This is going to come to an end.

128
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 6: We should have voter ID, by the way, We should

129
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 6: have a lot of the things that I think everybody

130
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 6: wants to see. Who would not want voter ID only

131
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 6: somebody that wants to cheat think of it. We don't

132
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 6: have voter ID, and the Democrats don't want it. And

133
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 6: the reason they don't want because they want to cheat.

134
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 6: Because there's no reason in the world. And I love

135
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 6: that debate Lindsey. I love saying well, why don't you

136
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 6: want voter ID and you watch them say, I don't know,

137
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 6: just make them vote.

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 4: Then it's a terrible thing. So anyway, anybody else.

139
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 9: When mister President, you said you wanted to make America

140
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 9: safer and more prosperous, and we have done it. More

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 9: prosperity means more money in people's pockets, and they notice

142
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 9: that every time they go to fill up with gas,

143
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 9: and they're going to know it when they get their

144
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 9: tax returns that this year are going to be at

145
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 9: least one thousand dollars, if not more greater than it's

146
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 9: been in the past.

147
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: And that's the result of the work that you've done

148
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: with this whole group.

149
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 9: And in terms of America being safer, a number of

150
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 9: us were at the border two weeks ago.

151
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: The border is secure, no one is coming.

152
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 9: Across, not that ten thousand we saw every day with

153
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 9: Joe Biden.

154
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: The American people still in overwhelming.

155
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 9: Numbers, Republicans, Democrats, and independents all say illegal immigrant criminals

156
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 9: need to be deported.

157
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: And mister President, you're doing that.

158
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 6: And no tax and tips, notional security, more my people's pockets.

159
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 6: Thank you, and that was all the great big beauta

160
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 6: obil as I call it, the great big beauta Mobil.

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 6: To me, that's what it is. And people are starting

162
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 6: and people are starting to realize it that they're starting

163
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 6: to see a tax deduction on your if you borrow

164
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 6: buy a car, if it's made in America. Only if

165
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 6: it's made in America. The rest we don't care about

166
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 6: so much. But you buy a car, you get an

167
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 6: interest deduction. You borrow money, you get an interest in

168
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 6: tax deduction. And that is you take interest you deducted

169
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 6: against your you a tax. So to me, that's unbelievable

170
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 6: for the people, unbelievable for our car companies, which is

171
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 6: jobs anybody else.

172
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 10: The President, the biggest part of this bill is our

173
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 10: national security right, and thank you. The men and women

174
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 10: who served this country are grateful to you, and we

175
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 10: give them a pay raise for helping more ships, as

176
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 10: you said, planes, missiles. We need to defend this country

177
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 10: and you're doing a great job and leave us in

178
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 10: the right direction.

179
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Katie, go ahead, you're going to

180
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: say so, yeah, no, its your president.

181
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 11: This is just unprecedented leadership. The fact that you've got

182
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 11: everyone to come together and actually get these bills.

183
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: Across the finish line.

184
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 11: You heard it from the speaker that that hasn't happened

185
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 11: in a long time.

186
00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: So ninety six.

187
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 11: Percent of the government being funded. Your priorities put in place,

188
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 11: mister President, so that we can make the country safer,

189
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 11: we can make it more prosperous, and not only can

190
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 11: we make America great again, but we can telp people

191
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 11: now America.

192
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 4: Is Yeah, it's a great, it's a great. We'll never

193
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: forget MAGA and we're all with MEGA. But this is

194
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 4: very appropriate, right.

195
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 6: Cindy had come on say something, Well, there's a little

196
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 6: hospital in here, a rural hospital in Maple, Mississippi, right

197
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 6: called Franklin County Hospital.

198
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: It would have closed the end of this month without

199
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 5: this bill.

200
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you from everybody in Mississippi, especially Franklin County.

201
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: And we've covered the rural very well.

202
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 6: Nobody ever thought it was possible, because we had a

203
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 6: lot of opposition from the Democrats, as you know, but

204
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 6: nobody thought it was possible.

205
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 4: That's great, how about it? Anybody back there, tom best.

206
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 6: Budget for Native Americans ever, President, thanks you, so we'll

207
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 6: sign it.

208
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: Then, if you would have some questions, if any let me.

209
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 12: Just figure back this Rule America is taken care of

210
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 12: it in his bill, and I mean so as as

211
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 12: Cindy says, so thank you for all America, but especially

212
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 12: Rule America.

213
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you everybody.

214
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: President Trump there making it very clear it was a

215
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: team effort and so many different issues as you heard

216
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: there with senators around him talking about what is in

217
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: this bill and it's partial shutdown of the Democrats yet

218
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: again trying to hold us hostage. Now it's all over.

219
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: You can go back to work in Congress and do

220
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: your actual job. The President making it clear he's going

221
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: to keep fighting, but he's giving many Americans exactly what

222
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: they need to succeed. And that's exactly what he said

223
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: his plan was when he ran for re election.

224
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: Now, story number two.

225
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: Voter ID laws are something that conservatives, the GOP in general,

226
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: and certainly the President, and I says, America, Donald Trump

227
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: had been focused on because we believe simply, and the

228
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: President has made it clear that every vote should be

229
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: counted and not canceled out by people that are cheating,

230
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: that are lying about who they are, or dead people voting,

231
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: or even stuffing ballot boxes with people that actually had

232
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: no intent of showing up to vote and someone else

233
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: voted on their behalf. Yes, there is voter fraud in

234
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: this country, and if you don't believe me, you can

235
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: just look online at stories and articles of people who

236
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: recently have gone to jail for voter fraud. Now, there's

237
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 3: also a simple way to overcome this problem, and that

238
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: is by having what now is being referred to as

239
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: a Save Act. The Save Act is very simple. It

240
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: explicitly adds a national photo ID requirement to voting. Congress's

241
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: HR twenty two. The Save Act would require documentary proof

242
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: of US citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections

243
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: as well, and direct states to use certain processes to

244
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: ensure only citizens are on the voter rolls. The Save

245
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: America Act also has been introduced by Representative Chip Roy

246
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: and Senator Mike Lee. It describes as a new and

247
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: improved version that adds a voter ID requirement for voting

248
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: in federal elections while keeping the proof of citizenship requirement

249
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: for registration, in essence taking it a step further. Make

250
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: elections great Again, known as Mega Act, is another GOP

251
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: proposal that includes a national photo ID requirement and other

252
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: election administration changes. The issue also popped up inside broader

253
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill negotiations, as some Republicans threatened to block a

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: shutdown ending deal unless it included citizenship and voter ID provisions.

255
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: Now we know that didn't ultimately happen because the government,

256
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: the partial shutdown is now over. But let me tell

257
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: you what the American people actually think about this. And

258
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: if you want to know what Democrats are doing, well,

259
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: they're certainly not listening to the American people. And even

260
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: CNN is saying overwhelmingly Democrats, Republicans, and independents are in

261
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: favor of photo ID laws.

262
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: Take a look here, favorite photo ID to vote. Eighty

263
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: five percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent of Latino,

264
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: seventy six percent of Black Americans favorite. So the bottom

265
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: line is this, voter ID is not controversial in this country.

266
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country.

267
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: It is not controversial by party, and it is not

268
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with

269
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo

270
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: ID to be able to vote.

271
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: So something of me.

272
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: Now you notice there they didn't even break it down

273
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: by Republican Democrats and independents, they broke it down by race.

274
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 3: Why did they decide to do that on CNN? For

275
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: one simple reason. Democrats have been saying for decades that

276
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: if you ask a minority for their ID to vote,

277
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: that is somehow racist. And that's exactly how they've been

278
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: able to continue to cheat in elections by saying that

279
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: you are a racist person if you ask a minority

280
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: for their ID to vote. Well, look at the numbers. Now,

281
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: Black voters overwhelmingly seventy six percent, so they want photo

282
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: ID to vote. White's eighty five percent want it, and

283
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: Latinos at eighty two percent. So why would the Democrats

284
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: on the hill still say no, I'll say simply this way,

285
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: it's because they want to be able to still and

286
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: alter election outcomes full stop. In fact, President Trump making

287
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: it clear on the record using this type of data

288
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: to ma his point that yes, the American people want this.

289
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: It's non political.

290
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: Who would not.

291
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 6: Want voter a D Only somebody that wants to cheat

292
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 6: think of it. But I have voter a D and

293
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 6: the Democrats don't want it. And the reason they't want

294
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 6: because they want to cheat. Because there's no reason in

295
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 6: the world and I love that debate, why don't you

296
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 6: want voter ID and you watch them say.

297
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 4: I don't know it.

298
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: I know why the president knows why. It is because

299
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: Democrats want to be able to cheat. I think it's

300
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: very clear President Trump is not backing down on this,

301
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: and the American people are behind him in a number

302
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: that we don't see hardy ever on any issue.
