1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:06,439 Speaker 1: Let me first start with just talking about how incredible 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: it was to see Donald Trump on stage and the 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: reception inside of that arena. I was there for what 4 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: I would refer to as a front row seat to history. 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: I also saw the president in a much smaller setting 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: right before, about an hour and a half before, no 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: less than that, thirty minutes before the convention started, and 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: he went to his seat. And I want to first 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: start by saying, Donald Trump is a different person right now. 10 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: And I want to be clear, I don't mean that 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: in a bad way. This is something that has happened 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: because of the shooting and its perspective faith, a demeanor 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: that is very different. As I watched him speak to 14 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: the smaller group in a different tone, in a somber tone, 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: in a focused tone. I leaned over to cinder Ted Cruz. 16 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I said, he's different. This is different. And if you 17 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: watched the first twenty five minutes of the speech that 18 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: he gave, he was different. And then he started to 19 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: get a little bit of his campaign groove back. There 20 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: were people that criticized the speech last night, y it's 21 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: too long. And I said this when he gave the speech, 22 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: or afterwards, when I was doing commentary on Fox, and 23 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: I said, you know, if you got shot five days 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: ago and survived an assassination attempt, you'd have a lot 25 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: to say too. I think I didn't mind it all. 26 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: The length of the speech, I as it was described 27 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: to me by one and I thought was a great analogy. 28 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: The first twenty five thirty minutes was like church on 29 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: Easter Sunday. It's a sermon that is to the masses. 30 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: It is a sermon to people that maybe only come 31 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: to church one time a year, and it's a packed house. 32 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: And then the second part of that speech, the long part, 33 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: was Sunday school with all the regular attenders. He gave 34 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: a clear message to the American people about what this 35 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: administration is going to look like, the Trump administration number one, 36 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: and why you should take a look at the agenda 37 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: that he has laid out and look at your life 38 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: and ask yourself questions about safety in this country, safety abroad, 39 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: economic issues. These are issues that affect the American people. 40 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: Many Americans don't feel safe in their towns anymore, and 41 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: the cities they live in, they don't feel like their 42 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: government has their back on those issues, and they're prioritizing 43 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: I legal immigrants, criminals ahead of them because of radical 44 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: das and a wide open southern border. You look at 45 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: economic issues, it's very clear that many Americans believe that 46 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: bidnomics has truly hurt their family. They's destroyed their purchasing power, 47 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: it has destroyed their ability to really focus on a 48 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: future that looks brighter, and now it's a future that 49 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: just looks like it's survival that has changed. And so 50 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: there were so many people, millions of millions that were 51 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: going to tune in, not just because they're maybe willing 52 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: to give Donald Trump another chance, but also because they 53 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: wanted to hear what he had to say about the 54 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: assassination attempt on his life and being shot. I think 55 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump did an amazing job because most people don't 56 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: watch the entire speech. That's just the reality of TV 57 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: viewing habits. A lot of people that tuned in that 58 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: maybe wouldn't have normally tuned in. They watched ten minutes, 59 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes more than they would have watched normally. They 60 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: would have gotten the highlights the next day on social 61 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: media on TikTok, on Instagram, on Facebook, etc. On x 62 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: they said and listened to a very somber and a 63 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: very different president of the United States of America by 64 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: the name of Donald Trump. I think many people that 65 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: watched this speech were watching out of curiosity to see 66 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: what he was going to say, how he was going 67 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: to act, but also because they have seen what's been 68 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: going on with the Biden campaign day after day. Now 69 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: there's a civil war that's broken out in the Democratic Party, 70 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: and that makes people want to watch what the other 71 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: side is saying and doing. It's human nature. You then 72 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: start hearing hours before Donald Trump's going to take the 73 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: stage that Joe Biden's probably not going to be the candidate. 74 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: Even more people tune in because now this is like 75 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: a sporting event. It's like one team screwing up. What's 76 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: the other team going to do in response? You combine 77 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: all that together, and I think what Donald Trump said 78 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: in that first twenty five minutes of a speech was 79 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: truly the most important speech that he had ever made. 80 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: And then, as many of those people were more than 81 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: likely tuning out, he started talking to his bas He 82 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: started talking to the faithful conservative voter, evangelical voter. I 83 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: think the program last night was phenomenal. I think the 84 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: convention was unbelievable. It was the best Republican convention I've 85 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: ever seen with a party that is unified, and I 86 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: think this is going to be another reason why it's 87 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: going to be very hard to beat Donald Trump. The 88 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: other big story that is going to have massive ramifications 89 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: on this election is the reality that apparently Joe Biden 90 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: is starting to understand that he is not going to 91 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: be the nominee, that they believe that he doesn't have 92 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: a chance to win, and they are convincing him of that. 93 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: Reporting coming out now is at the big five families 94 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: of the Democratic mafia, the Clintons, the Obama's, the Schumer family, 95 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: the Pelosi family, and the new Jeffrey's family on the 96 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: House side, leadership of the Democratic Party have all coalesced 97 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: with the media and the donors. So that's seven entities 98 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: working together to force him out. I've been I'm told 99 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: by sources that I trust that Joe Biden is still 100 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: holding on because he wants to make sure that he 101 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: gets a sweetheart deal, a golden parachute that if he 102 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: does come out and say I'm not going to, you know, 103 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: be the guy I'm going to finish out this term, 104 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: but I'm not going to be the guy that What 105 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: actually would happen then is that whoever gets this job, 106 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: they're going to agree to give immunity to my family. 107 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's not going to go to jail, My brother's 108 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: not going to go to jail, and I'm not going 109 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: to be prosecuted or any other family member. He wants 110 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: to guarantee from what I've been told, and I believe 111 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: this to be true, that nobody with the last name 112 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: Biden is ever going to go to jail because of 113 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: the actions of the Biden crime family. And he has 114 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: leverage and the Democratic Party is more than willing to 115 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: give him that. The question is, because there's going to 116 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: have to be a trust factor, do you trust Kamala 117 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: Harris to not screw you? Because if Kamala Harris becomes 118 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: the president and he decides to step aside and not 119 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: take the nomination, he's got to trust that a woman 120 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: in his entire career has been basically documented with screwing 121 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: the people closest to or no pun intended, is going 122 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: to be trustworthy enough to take a hit in the 123 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: polls to protect Joe Biden because it's not going to 124 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: help Kamala Harris or any other Democrat that becomes the president. 125 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: If they did become the president, hypothetically, it's not going 126 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: to raise their approval rating if they immediately say, oh, 127 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: and by the way, here's all these convictions again, Hunter 128 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: or Joe or his brother or anybody else, and we're 129 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: giving a blanket immunity, and they're all going to be 130 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: all sins of the Biden crime family are forgiven. That 131 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: is not good politics. So could you promise that and 132 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: not deliver on it? Absolutely? Do I believe that Kama 133 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: Harris could lie to the face of Joe Biden. Yes, 134 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: I absolutely do, which is the reason why I think 135 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't dropped out yet. It's the reason why the 136 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: family has isolated him. They've isolated him politically, they've isolated 137 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: him in the name of COVID. He has gone into 138 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: complete and utter hibernation from all reality and the Democratic 139 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: Party they know this. So they've got to sweeten the pot. 140 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: They've got to figure out a way to convince a senile, paranoid, 141 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: all Tzheimer's dementia ridden individual that they can be trustworthy, 142 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: trustworthy enough that he can walk away without having the 143 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: ability to pardon his son. Because there's nothing to pardon 144 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: him for yet because his son, being an idiot, didn't take, 145 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, try to take a deal that was too good, 146 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: and now is fighting in these court cases instead of 147 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: wrapping them up. I understand how hard it is to 148 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: deal with someone that has Alzheimer's dementia. If you've ever 149 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: dealt with somebody with Alzheimer's dementia, they dig in. They're irrational, 150 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: they're not willing to usually compromise on things like, hey, 151 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: I need to take away your car keys. Hey, you 152 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: don't need to go out alone. Right, You're not going 153 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: to tell me that I can't go shopping by myself. 154 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: You're not going to tell me I can't drive. They 155 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: dig in. So I think you're also dealing with that 156 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: aspect of Alzheimer's dementia with this clearly mentally incapacitated individual 157 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: and that paranoid individual who believes that now his entire 158 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: party with good reason. By the way, I don't think 159 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: it's paranoid. I think it's reality has turned on him 160 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: and thrown him to the wolves. I've never seen anything 161 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: like this in the Democratic Party, where these mafia style families, 162 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: the Biden, you know, the Biden's used to be one 163 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: of the Big Five. They're not anymore. They're on the outs. 164 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: Democratic Party have no need, no use for the Biden family. 165 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: In fact, you could argue that if the Biden family 166 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: went down for all of their corruption, right, all of 167 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: their corruption, that the Democratic Party would actually benefit from 168 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: crucifying them, acting like that's not a part of the 169 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: Democratic machine. Nancy Pelosi once acted like she's separate from 170 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: this corruption. The Clintons and the Obamas won't act like 171 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: they're sep of the Biden corruption. The Democratic Party in 172 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: general wants to act like they're separate from the Biden corruption. 173 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: The members of the House and the Senate and the 174 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: Democratic Party don't want to be tied to a man 175 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: who is this corrupt. If it's all coming out, So 176 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: now you understand why the machine has turned against Joe 177 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Biden is in essence, kicking him out of the White 178 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: House and out of the Democratic monarchy is probably the 179 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: best way I can describe it. A guy that's been 180 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: there for forty plus years is now being fed to 181 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: the political wolves. The media, by the way, they're all 182 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: on board with this. Every single member of the media 183 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: in the Democratic you know, media, however you want to 184 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: describe them, every single one of them, every single one 185 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: of them is throwing Joe Biden under the bus. They 186 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: want to get rid of him. Even his own cabinet 187 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 1: is throwing Joe Biden out. They're leaking everywhere his staffers 188 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: within the White House, and they're almost trying to manifest 189 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: destiny this. I think they think if they say it 190 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: loud enough, say it often enough, leak it enough times 191 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: where the fever pitch continues to grow, that Joe Biden's 192 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: going to drop out, Joe Biden's going to drop out, 193 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: they can somehow turn that leak into a reality, which 194 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: which is a moment of caution as well. Joe Biden 195 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: could just say screw all y'all. None of you are loyal, 196 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: You're all scum, and if I'm going down, you're all 197 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: going down with me. In other words, all of you 198 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: in the party are gonna you know, I'm gonna hurt 199 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: all of you while you're hurting me. This is going 200 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: to be the biggest political story going into the Democratic Convention, 201 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: and the fact that it's August and we still may 202 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: not know who Donald Trump's running against is completely and 203 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: utterly insane. It has been a very interesting week in 204 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: the political world. It is a week that I was 205 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: sitting on set at Fox News Channel last night as 206 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: the President's speech ended, and I'm like, can we just 207 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: take a moment and just think about what all has happened. 208 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: We've had a disastrous president of debate that then called 209 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party to demand that their candidate stepped down. 210 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: We then had an assassination attempt less than a week ago. 211 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: We then had a Vice President of the United States 212 00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: of America who was selected, then had have the news 213 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: that there's a very very good chance that Joe Biden's 214 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: going to step down as president. And then we have 215 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, 216 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: take the stage to accept the Republican nomination. On top 217 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: of the fact that we also have a Secret Service 218 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: director defies logic and the facts about what happened with 219 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: the assassination tempt on the President of the United States, 220 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: former President Donald Trump, and still has her job. That's 221 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: all in like days of one another. Joining me now 222 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: to talk about this is Senator Marshall Blackburn, who was 223 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: on that Senator's Only call that I have heard a 224 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: lot about. You heard about it in the last hour 225 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: with Senator Cruz and a call that was maybe one 226 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: of the most BS calls I've ever heard about, where 227 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: they were said you could ask questions, please hit a 228 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: number and you're in Q. No real conservatives got to 229 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: ask questions on that call, And so senators at the 230 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: Republican Convention took matters in their own hand. And the 231 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: Secret Service Director was at the convention, and in a 232 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: very very amazing, awesome turn of events, senators decided, Okay, 233 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna start asking questions here and now since you 234 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't answer our questions on the call, Senator you and 235 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: the video of you asking questions of the Secret Service 236 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: director has gone viral as it should have one. How 237 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: did you guys find out she was at the convention 238 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: and we're able to check her down to then ask 239 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: her questions which she refused to answer in a shocking 240 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: display of just total screw you guys, You're just senators. 241 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm in the Biden administration. I don't have to answer you. 242 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: Well, good morn then, and yes, it was really quite 243 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 2: an odd turn of events. And I had gone into 244 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: the suite where Susie Wiles and Trump's team was. They 245 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 2: had invited me to come in, and I told Susie, 246 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: I said, you know, I want to just tell you 247 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: about this call and what we heard, because many of 248 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: us were in the queue, and of course those of 249 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: us are conservatives in the Senate, Ted Mike Lee, Rick Scott, 250 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: several of us were on the text thread and I said, 251 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: they're saying. 252 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: Nobody else is in the queue. I'm in the queue, 253 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: and then others started saying, so am I so in 254 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 3: and we realized they were cutting the call off, and we. 255 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 2: Had questions because the director and her deputy and FBI 256 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: Director Ray and his deputy had been on the call 257 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: and they were providing us timeline information. So we work 258 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: through that. I go up to the suite. I'm talking 259 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: to some of Trump's team and someone says, well, the 260 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 2: Secret Service director is here in the building and in 261 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 2: a suite, and I had just seen seen John Barrosso. 262 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: I knew he had also been in the queue and 263 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 2: couldn't get his question in. So Barrosso and then Kramer 264 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: and Langford came by and we said, well, let's just 265 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 2: go ask her if she will give us an answers announcence. 266 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 2: We got cut off, and of course that's the video 267 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: that so many people have seen. We went into this suite, 268 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 2: We introduced ourselves and asked if she would take a 269 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: minute and answer the questions. She did not want to 270 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: do that. We laid out our questions and she said, well, 271 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 2: now it's not the time and place. I offered that 272 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: We moved to a quiet place we knew where there 273 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 2: was a private space the floor below us. We could 274 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 2: have visited and gotten some answers, because the American people 275 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 2: want to know. We want to know things we're hearing 276 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 2: on social media. What is true and false? The timeline? 277 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: Why did you find a suspicious person, loose track of them, 278 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: find them again, identify the person as a potential threat, 279 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 2: then allowed the president to go on stage knowing you 280 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: had a potential threat. Why would you do that? You know, Ben, 281 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 2: It is questions like that, was this something that was 282 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: a mistake and a myth in the advance plan, in 283 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: the operational plan? What is the problem here? Because the 284 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 2: Secret Service has one job, and that job is to 285 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: protect their protectee, and we would not want this to 286 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: happen to anyone that they are there to protect. And 287 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: of course we had found out after the assassination attempt 288 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 2: that there was also the Iranian threat on President Trump. 289 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: So let's pause there. Will you explained for people? Let 290 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Will you explain the Iranian threat 291 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: real quick? Because it has not been explained well by 292 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: the media because obviously the attack overshadowed the Iranian threat. 293 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: Can you bring listeners up to date on what the 294 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: Iranian threat was so that people understand how significant that 295 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: was stand alone from any other threat and the shoot 296 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: that tried to assassinate Trump on Saturday. 297 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 2: Yes, and what we had heard. We don't have all 298 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 2: the detail yet, but from others that the Iranian government 299 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 2: has supposedly hired or is trying to assassinate you know, 300 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: we've all heard Secretary Pompeo they are after him and 301 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: this is all retribution from what we hear and know 302 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: so far. And again there Ben, we don't have a 303 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 2: lot of the detail on this, but it has to 304 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: do with a sola money and his exec his killing 305 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: and him being taken out, and these are actions you 306 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: can't allow somebody to be walking around when you know 307 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 2: there is that kind of threat. But we wanted to 308 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: get more detailed. We had questions, We have answers that 309 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 2: are owed to the American people. They want to know. 310 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 2: I hear from tennesseean's every single day, every single day, 311 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 2: wanting to know what really has transpired, Who is really 312 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 2: in charge? Why would they have allowed President Trunk to 313 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 2: go on that stage? Why did they not play a 314 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: few more minutes of music, put him in a car 315 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 2: shield and protect him. And the fact that all of 316 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: these thousands of people were put in danger, and of 317 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: course we have one dead too, still severely injured from Saturday, 318 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: why would they have allowed these people to be in 319 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: harm's way. I've heard from so many Tennesseeans who have said, Marshall, 320 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: what about public events? And I've got friends who are 321 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 2: Democrats who want to go to political rallies, but they're saying, 322 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 2: who's doing the security on these rallies? Who's the doing 323 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: security on public events? And it causes that fear, and 324 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: it causes questioning, and it causes people to say, hey, 325 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 2: wait a minute, the Secret Service let somebody get within 326 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty yards of the former president with 327 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: a clear line of sight. They are just astounded that 328 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 2: this actually transpired. 329 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this because I said this last 330 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: night on post debate or or post convention, I should 331 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: say recap is what does it take to get fired 332 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: from your job? And the Biden administration, I mean a 333 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: colossal screw up where you give excuses that the slope 334 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: was too dangerous for the Secret Service, even though the 335 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: slope of the roof the shooter was shooting from was 336 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: the same exact damn slope as the is the cyper 337 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: team that took him out was on. The excuses have 338 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: been I think disgusting to the American people, and the 339 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: lack of just accountability and oversight from this administration when 340 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: you guys have questions is also disgusting. But like, what 341 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: does it take to get fired? The President United States 342 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: of America at the end of the day, at the 343 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: bare minimum, just talking about facts, got shot from one 344 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards away, which is less than two 345 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: tenths of what the cyper team's train out to protect 346 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: the president at public events from a rooftop with a 347 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: direct line of sight, and had a subject that they 348 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 1: then knew was out there and couldn't find them, and 349 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: still put a present on stage. If that doesn't get 350 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: you fired, center, is there anything that you can do 351 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: in this administration to get fired? 352 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything. They don't fire people. They 353 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: moved them around, and they elevate them. And when you 354 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 2: look at this and the fact that they knew an 355 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: hour out they had a suspect. At five point fifty one, 356 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 2: they identified the suspect as a potential threat. That was 357 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: after they lost him and found him again. And then 358 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: at five point fifty three the sharpshooters were notified. And 359 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: then they still put Donald Trump on the stage at 360 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: six o'clock and allowed him to be on that stage 361 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: knowing there was that potential threat. I don't no. You know, 362 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: Joe Biden should have called her in that Saturday night 363 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 2: and said you're fired, and you've got to turn over 364 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: everything you know, and you've got to explain this, and 365 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: you've got to explain this agency. If I were Joe Biden, 366 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: for my own protection, I would want to know those answers. 367 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: But you know, then, the thing is when she said 368 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 2: she would not answer our question, she didn't think it 369 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 2: was the time and place. You have to say, when 370 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 2: is the time and place? When is the time and 371 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: place to give the American people their answers? And she 372 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: said I'm leaving them. Well, you know, what there are 373 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: a lot of people that wanted to know they were 374 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 2: in a safe and secure environment. And then when she 375 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: started to run from Hunt, when she started to run 376 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 2: from Punt, you know, it was just astounding. You know, 377 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: she should have planted her feet and said, yes, let's 378 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: step to the side, let me answer your questions. We 379 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: do have to get to the bottom of this. But 380 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: she did not do that. She chose to run. 381 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: Well, last question for you, and it just shows I 382 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: think the chaos that is around this administration. Even today, 383 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: as we wrap up the convention, you get word that 384 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: all flights grounded for American Delta United due to a 385 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: global IT outage. And we're not going to get an 386 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: answer from this administration, a straight answer, even on things 387 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: like that. There is no trust in our government right 388 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: now when it comes to safety or security. Now, to 389 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: be clear, this to be private, we don't know. But 390 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: do I trust this administration to tell me the truth 391 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: if it's a hacking? Do I trust them when it 392 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: comes to protecting the president? Do I trust them when 393 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: they tell me about the health of the President of 394 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: United States of America. The answer is on all of 395 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: these different issues that are completely separate, I don't trust 396 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: our government. I don't trust the FBI to do the investigation. 397 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: I don't trust the FBI to tell me a straight 398 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: answer as they're doing this investigation on the assassination attempt. 399 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: And it's because so many different fronts we've been lied to. 400 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: Do you have any faith in the leadership in these 401 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: different areas within our government? Because the American people, I think, 402 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: say whatever they're telling us, we assume they're lying to 403 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: us now, even on non political issues, whether it's an 404 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: IT outage at the airport or whether it's an assassination 405 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: attempt on the President of the United States, And. 406 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: You've just hit on it. This administration, their priority is 407 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: not the people. It is power that they want to control. 408 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: And when you look at this Secret Service director who 409 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: to she came to the convention to hold a cocktail 410 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 2: party in a luxury suite to thank the security partners. 411 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 2: So donors were more important to her than a group 412 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: of four senators saying we're glad you're here. Could we 413 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 2: have five minutes of your time to get answers for 414 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: the people that pay your salary and people wanting to 415 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 2: know these answers. Now, think about that she is in 416 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 2: a luxury suite. She wanted us to leave so that 417 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: she could continue the evening and not disrupt the evening 418 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: for the partners. Everybody there should have wanted and probably 419 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 2: wanted to know what happened in Pennsylvania, that you could 420 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: have that snipe, that assassin that close to the president. 421 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: But this administration, it is all about power, It is 422 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: all about control. It is about the elites. It is 423 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 2: not about the people. And then I think that's why 424 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: the American people do not trust in the leadership of 425 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 2: these institutions, not the rank and file, but the leadership, 426 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: because they all have a political agenda aimen to that center. 427 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. Be safe on the road. I know 428 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get out and the flights are crazy. 429 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on and I'm sure we'll talk to 430 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: you again real soon. 431 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: You got it.
